Ferris State College and Wolverine World Wide of Rockford, in cooperation with the Big Rapids Chamber of Commerce and Big Rapids and Reed City Industries, will stage a special course for couples on the brink of retirement. The eight-session program has been included in Ferris’ winter quarter offerings ot regular courses. First class is scheduled for Jahuary 12. Purpose of the program is to help individuals make the best possible preparation for retirement by considering the role of work and retirement in America--highlighting family and living arrange­ ments, physical and mental health, living on so­ cial security and pensions, making the dollar stretch, legal affairs of older people, and the good use of leisure time. Program coordinator is Dr. John Taylor, head of the FSC Social Science De­ partment,. "For more than a year, " Dr. Taylor pointed out, "Wolverine World Wide has been concerned about this employee problem. Last year Wolverine held its first retirement program. For a number of years Ferris has offered special courses for the retired and special rates for those who are senior citizens. It is only natural, then, that our two interests should merge." Primary arrange menu for the sessions have been made by Gene Curtis, Director of Employee Re-■ lations, Wolverine World Wide; Peter Holub, Di­ rector of Community Adult Education for Ferris; Richard Allen, fjOKCAP Aging Specialist; and Dr. Taylor, who is also chairman of the Mecosta County Council of Aging and secretary of the Mich­ igan Society of Gerontology. Area industries have been invited to send at least one and possibly two workers’and their spouses. A maximum of ten couples will be allowed to en­ roll for the first program. Dr. Taylor said; however, if interest develops, the program will be repeated as necessary. Cooperating Big Rapids and Reed City industires are Central Concrete, Hanchett Manufacturing Co.

WI5-2766, Hastings FRANCE SQUIRES 013-3173, Nashville �MSU was credited to not be ready for another year and there is no firm indication when, or if. the osteopathic college will get beyotu the planning stage. Many believe the MSU request for expansion to a foak-year medical school should be considered on ita own merit in light of the recognized dire need for doctors in Michigan. NTtKPA.E By ELMER E. WHITE Michigan Press Association COSTLY DELAY Michigan is sadly lacking in docton for its citi­ zens. There is no hope of meeting the need unless immediate steps are taken to expand medical.education facilities. To make marten worse, an important recommen-dation by a blue-ribbon committee to the State Board of Education was recently ignored in a four to four vote on establishing a four-year medical school at Michigan State Univenity. , The tie had the effect of refusing the special com­ mittee’s recommendation that MSU's present twoyear human biology program be expanded to a full medical training coune. Board members themselves appointed the special committee to deal with the expansion of medical education in Michigan as a broad concept and the MSU plan as a specific request but in context with the state's total needs. In essence the committee recommended immed­ iate steps be taken to expand and improve the two existing medical schools and approve without delay MSU's request to offer an M. D. Degree program.

Potential unemployment caused by cuts in the var­ ious programs might threaten the continued prosper­ ity of Michigan's economy. Cities are screaming because of announced decreases in spending for lo­ cal urban renewal and poverty relief programs. State highway officials throughout Michigan breathe heavily because of the shorter supply of funds to complete road construction plans. Many programs, in other states as well as Mich­ igan, are heavily dependent for their existence on specified percentages of federal contributions. Every year the legislature is asked to consider ex­ pansion of some existing state-federal programs and creation of new ones. This year serious thought must be aimed at these proposals. No one cares to guess when the tight federal money situation will loosen, but how to reduce spending is a problem which must be faced. S.

This photograph shows Baer (on the right) with a Farm Manager and a Seed Corn Research Agronomist looking at one of the fields of com at the Manchester farm. HE THINKS BIC WHERE CORN’S CONCERNED ©1967 Rural Gravure The King of Corn! Real Shorties that are tough and take thick planting in narrow rows Modern corn fanning demands varieties that will take higher populations, narrow rows, higher fertilization, and specialized mechanical harvesting. DeKalb’s XL Single and Three-Way Crosses meet this demand. They’re tougher, shorter. They stand, com­ bine easily and yield BIG! In 1967, go au the way with DEKALB XL Corn-the greatest improvement in corn since hybrids. MORE FARMERS PLANT^jj^ THAN ANY OTHER BRA ■you could fill a combine hopper with all the articles that have been written about high population planting, narrow rows, heavy fer­ tilization and ample use of herbi­ cides and insecticides. These topics are featured through­ out the Cornbelt But few farmers have carried these improved prac­ tices the extent that Elmer Baer has on his 1,250 acres near Manchester, Iowa. Baer tried them all this year, and got good results — a whopping 140 bushel average on the entire acre­ age. Better than 200,000 bushels of corn! Baer has some firm convictions on com growing, and puts them all into practice at Manchester Farms, Inc. From planting to harvesting to fall plowing, every method is the most up-to-date. Encouraged by good results in the ’65 season, Baer aimed even higher in 1966. From fertilizer to plant population, he put down everything his soil could support. “We tried a lot of new ideas on a large scale this year, and got a good idea of how each one measures ufy” says Baer. “For one, we varied our populations depending on the seed we used and on the width of the row. Our first 500 acres were planted with 28,000 to 30,000 kernels, and we got a final stand of 25,000 to 27,­ 000 plants. “On the 20-inch rows, we planted at 32,000 and, because of high germ­ ination, those fields had a stand of better than 30,000 plants per acre. On our last 250 acres, we dropped the population to between 22,000 and 24,000, and got about 22,000 - stalks. “For the first time this year, we used only one brand of com . . . DeKalb. The DeKalb people have stressed the things we want in our com, so we went all the way with them. * “Over 85% of our corn is XL-45, so you can see how that short stalk hybrid rates with us. We planted four other DeKalb varieties at var­ ied populations to check them all out” Normal planting time in the Man­ chester, Iowa area is traditionally mid-May, but Baer started planting on April 26. By May 5, 400 acres of 30-inch corn was in the ground. k Then wet weather slowed the pace so that only 500 acres were planted by May 15. The 20-inch com was the next to be planted. And the 500 acres were put in from May 17 to 25. This left only 250 acres to plant. But wet weather hit again, and it took until June 2 to complete planting. The total fertilization program in the spring was heavy. Average per acre allowance on the 1,250 acres were: 225 to 250 lbs. of nitrogen, 90 to 110 lbs. of phosphate, and 210 lbs. of potash. Seventy percent of the totai was applied pre-plant and 30% after planting. On two-thirds of the land, 750 acres, a liquid application of 18-46-0 was applied at the rate of 225 lbs. per acre. On 500 acres, a combina­ tion of 11-34-0 was applied at the rate of 300 to 350 lbs. And, 350 lbs. of 0-0-60 was applied in dry form on all of the acres. As soon as the com is harvested, large tractors with plows and disks move into the Manchester fields. Baer feels fall plowing can greatly increase a field’s yield capacity. �Weed control got close attention too. Atrazine was applied pre-plant with a liquid fertilizer on 950 acres. On the remaining 300, it was mixed with oil and an ester at the rate of 5 lbs. of Atrazine per acre and ap* plied when weeds were one to three inches high. “Despite the wet spring, we were able to control weeds on 1,250 acres chemically with better results than we could have gotten on 400 acres using a cultivator,” states Baer. Insects were handled with an ap­ plication of 10 lbs. of Aldrin applied behind the planter. Baer found very little damage from insects this year '“but is keeping a trained eye out for next year, since heavy northern rootworm infestation is expected in his area. Minimum tillage was emphasized as much as possible in the Baer op­ eration. “We used a disk to incor­ porate some of the Atrazine before planting, and 200 acres of 30-inch corn was just plow-planted,” says farm manager Dan Driscoll. “We planted our 20-inch corn with a new Allis Chalmers 12-row tillage plant­ er, and no other disk was used ex3 cept with the nitrogen application.” Baer contends that no matter how many precautions you take or how many new methods you use, “High yields won’t materialize unless you harvest early. In high yielding corn, you can lose as much as 30 bushels an acre by waiting too long to har­ vest.” His theory on early harvest was well demonstrated this year. Com< bines moved into his 30-inch corn on September 16, and by the 19th they had 60 acres harvested. “We had to move them from field to field, be­ cause all the corn wasn’t dry yet,” says Driscoll. “By the 24th of Sep­ tember, we had 25,000 bushels of wet corn harvested from 175 acres.” Harvested corn is taken to one of the Manchester farms continuous grain dryers, where it is dried and stored until favorable market prices prevail. But the story doesn’t end there. As the combines completed their . work on the first 300 acres, they were soon followed by tractors with plows and disks. It’s Baer’s belief Applying up-to-date methods yielded an average of HO bushels on 1,250 acres for Manchester Farms, Inc. that the more land that can be fallplowed, the earlier corn can be plant­ ed the following spring. “I’m convinced that fall plowing can mean a 10 to 15 bushel per acre increase over spring-plowed land,” Baer says .“In 1964, on many farms that I know of north of Bradford, Illinois, fall-plowed land yielded double the corn of spring-plowed land.” ' At the same time, lime is spread on the fields with trucks and then plowed in. “I’m a strong believer in using plenty of lime,” Baer declares. “Getting the soil to the right pH level is important for a good corn crop.” Because of his awareness of new approaches in farming and his will­ ingness to adapt to them, Baer has proven that conscientious farming pays off. ‘ During the growing year, fertilizer, herbicide, insecticide and seed people and interested farmers con­ gregated on the Manchester farm and talked com. Sitting on the fender of the car conversing with such a group is farmer Baer. A Visit with Rabin Pullin, Jasper County, Indiana “We couldn’t build this $20,000 structure if we couldn't master health problems." “Digestive health is a real complex problem. I think it faces the entire industry.” “If we have good-doing pigs at 8 weeks, they’ll almost certainly be good at 12 weeks... or 6 months.” “With TNT, scours control has been phenomenal.99 Rabin Pullin’s operation is a regular stop for Midwest farmers on swine tours. Here’s why he uses TNT on the 2,900 hogs he sells from 325 litters: “An enteritis condition would affect, in varying degrees, between half to two-thirds of our pigs. It wasn’t enough to put us out of business. But it was aggravating. It would affect gains... and profits. In extreme cases, we’d lose two weeks to market. “Then we used TNT. And, frankly, we just haven’t had enough problems in 5 con­ secutive groups of pigs to even consider. We have fewer tailenders ... fewer runts. Ben­ efits extend throughout the growing period. “I’d get into hot water if I said TNT would cure every man’$ troubles. But I’d recom­ mend it to anyone who has had chronic problems. I know we’re go­ ing to continue using it.” TNT worked TRIPLE-ACTING for Rabin Pullin. It’ll work for you. NEO-TERRAMYCIN (naomycin-oxytatracyciina) �For the past two years, a Corn-Soybean Clinic has made a winter tour of the Midwest, showing to capacity crowds of Top Farmers, most of them enthusiastic about get­ ting a complete story in a single day. The 1967 version, on the road January 6 through February, promises new and exciting information along with a run-down on how last years advice worked out. f\\f D E /\IK I There is much to telh 1966 was a wild year. One of the worst K J I r» I I Bl droughts in history hit a large part of the hot production area.' w Top producers like Clyde Hignt in corn and John Reiser Jr. in I beans were hit with almost impossible conditions. They will report in films at all clinics and will attend many in person. Ag chemicals faced many challenges. Rain and cold weather threw planting off schedule. Drought and extreme heat followed. Improper application of chemicals caused losses. We learned a good deal about fertilization during 1966, not only in corn but also in beans. Weed control was mainly responsible for increased soybean yields in the past several years. Now it looks as if high fertility, narrow rows and better seed will help to really break the yield barrier, thanks to pioneering by men like Reiser. • The rush to narrow rows in both beans and corn has produced many interesting results. Many farmers changed over completely. Others teamed up to use one set of' equipment on test acreage. Sunlight received new attention, our friends in Canada leading the way. Planting sched­ ules, population and spacing, even shape of plants will be changed to make fuller use of light and water. The marketing story is exciting too. We are selling for cash overseas, but also running into real competition from Other nations and other crops.

NOT IT RUN YOU • by Lynn Dorris T>eds to make, dishes to do, toys to pick up, floors to sweep, laundry to sort, and clothes to fold: my housework seemed to be a never ending chore. Finally I woke up to the fact that the house was running me, not vice versa. I didn’t have a minute to call my own. That’s the day I decided to make some changes. I came to the conclusion that time is valuable and needs to be budgeted as well as money. To give an incentive to getting things done in a half day which I usually dragged through the whole day, I gave myself three hours in the afternoon to work on a pet project; gardening, sewing, or whatever happens to be my big interest at the moment. I have found that it helps to treat time like money. If I save my time for a purpose then I have a reason for being more efficient One of the first things I realized is that I couldn’t possibly be perfect in every phase of homemaking. To my family, having an immaculately clean house isn’t as important as my having some time to spend with them so I forgot about trying to keep up with the model homemaker down the block and starting concentrating on what was important to my own family; a fairly neat home, good food, and time to be together! I went to work avoiding work. I started to put things away as soon as I was through using them. The clutter doesn’t build up then. This only takes a minute and is one of my best work savers. To make it easier for family members to make less work, I provided mud scrapers and mats for wiping feet I bought attractive coatracks for the children’s room to make it easy for them to hang up their own coats and caps and to get them when they want This saves many steps as well as time. I also bought inexpensive clothes hampers for each bedroom closet This makes it easy for everyone to put dirty clothes away as soon as they are taken off. To make housework more pleasant I started dressing up to work. I started getting up a half hour earlier each morning so that I could shower, comb my hair, and put on make-up before breakfast If I wait until after breakfast I find it too easy to drift through the day without doing it Now, I’m fresh as a daisy at breakfast and it seems to brighten my whole family’s day. An old problem of mine was starting more than I could handle, like watering the lawn, baking a cake, starting the laundry, and cleaning the living room at the same time. I usually ended up with a flooded driveway, a burned cake, and the living room chores unfinished. Now I start only what I can handle. I’ve tried to get every housekeeping chore down to a system, figuring out the quickest and most efficient way of doing it Before leaving the bedroom I make the bed, pick up, and dust Then I head for the bathroom to get myself ready for the day. As soon as breakfast is over I get the dishes done, wipe off the table and countertops, sweep the floor, and take out the trash. Then I start a load of laundry before tackling the living room. I have found that a routine pick up and vacuuming of each room each day actually saves time and work. By lunch time I have all the rooms finished and the laundry done. As soon as lunch is over I go through the process of straightening the kitchen once more; then I start the ironing. This is one task I never let myself get behind in. While I’m ironing, baking, or scrubbing I try to think about ‘ pleasant things. If I let myself dwell on the job my husband hasn’t finished, idle gossip of the neighbors’, or criticisms from the in-laws’, I can easily work myself into a real stew so instead I fill my mind with pleasant thoughts and the work seems to go much faster. The housework is usually finished by two p.m. and I have free time to devote to my pet project until time to start dinner. What I use this time for isn’t as important as the feeling that I run my house. It doesn’t run me! Earliest TOMATO JUNG’S FAMOUS WAYAHEAD...BIG RED !?

Right after Christmas this year the town was filled with little boys who were boldiag devices to their ears and mouths. If you wonder what is going on I'll tell you... These kids are talking to each other by remote control It seems that all kids today have sea of walkie talkies and they are jamming up the airwaves with their childish small talk. I assume it is childish small talk. The way things arc going today, it just could be that the little jokers-are talking with their broken and are giving buy and sell instructions. Perhaps they are all' in contact with the leader of the gang (whoever that might be) who has alerted them to stand by for the countdown on the latest riot. Back in my day kids used to shout at each other. I can remember at a very early age standing on the curb and shouting insula at the kid across the street. He would holler insula and threaa back at me. We were both safe because neither of us was allowed to go across the street without permission from our parents and even if'we were inclined to ask we knew the old folks would not agree to a trip across the street to start a fight. That is the trouble with adults. They cannot see the point in starting a fight across the street but they see nothing nuts about going to some foreign country to start a fight. Well anyway, we kids used to carry on all our communications in loud shouts. As a matter of fact, the mothers of the neighborhood would sug­ gest we go over on the next street to play. The mothers from the next street bad already sent their kids to our street. Our neighborhood was a very noisy one. When we were quiet for a few minutes the mothers would conclude that we were up to no good and would choose a delegate to track us down to put a sRpp to whatever quiet and devilish activity we were en­ gaged in. The mothers used to do their share of shouting too. They would step to the back door and in a loud mother voice screech out the name of the ing distance before the third call you were ok. Should a big truck pass and drown outthe shouts of the mother in time the kid was on fair ground. If you suspected the call was for something good, like she was going to give you a nickle to go to the show, or she had candy to give you, you answered immediately. The law of averages was against this though. As 1 said, our neighborhood was full of shouting. I guess they just didn't have quiet neighborhoods in those days. I remember one evening when a bunch of us were playing and Donald's father called him to come borne. Donald answered immediately and ran for borne. Just then Leonard's dad jumped out from be­ hind a hedge and clipped his son one along side the head. "Did you see how quick Donald answer­ ed when his father called? Why don't you do that? that?" "But I really didn't hear you call, " Leonard said. "I didn't", the father answered, "but even if I had you wouldn't have answered Immediately. " It looks as if all these things have changed. Now when a kid wants to insult another he gets on the walkie-talkie and says "WZ24X to QT66F - You ate a fink. Over and out. " When a mother wants her offspring she talks into a little box.

While realizing that some development is necessary, they want to see most of the island park retained as wilderness. On the national front, this plea is made by the National Wilderness Society, long active in such watchdog capacity. On the bomefront, Michi­ gan United Conservation Clubs, composed of more than 360 conservation and sportsmen's groups, is supporting the wilderness aspect for Isle Royale. True wilderness is something that is tast disappear­ ing from Michigan. 'Isle Royale National Park is still pretty much the way nature made it but there is a question of bow long it can retain its unique quality. With human pressures bearing down hard on all public agencies to develop recreation for as many people as possible. Isle Royale is threatened. Here, indeed, is a vicious cycle. A lovely area is set aside with the intent of keeping it in a natural state. The public is attracted by the beauty and asks that an increasing number of conveniences be pro­ vided so more and more people can enjoy the attrac­ tion. Soon, so many concessions are made to provide comfort and convenience for the visiting public that the wilderness aspect which attracted them in the first place is destroyed. This very pattern has been followed time after time in some of our other na­ tional parks to such an extent that they amount to little more than honky-tonks now. The National Park Service is now casting an eye at Isle Royale to see what can be done about great­ er development there to provide the public with more convenience. At a public hearing scheduled for Jan 31 in the Memorial Union Building of Michigan Technologi­ cal University in Houghton, the value of wilderness will be discussed in detail Conservation groups will urge the National Park Service to retain 119,618 acres of Isle Royale in its natural state of wilder­ ness. This will exclude five shoreline areas al­ ready in use as harbors, camping sites, resorts with lodges operated by the park service, a powerline corridor to Mount Ojibway, all of Blake Point and Passage Island on the northeast end. Isle Royale is now a virtual wilderness containing numerous small inland lakes lying between ridges and the remains of prehistoric copper mines once worked by an unknown people. A herd of moose is kept in almost perfect balance by a pack of timber wolves, themselves a wilderness symboL w The only practical way to reach Isle Royald is by boat from Houghton, Coppet Harbor and Minnesota during the summer months. Once there, no auto­ mobiles are avail«hio for there are no roads. Trans­ portation is by hiking, which means crowded con­ ditions are unknown. Isle Royale is truly unique among Michigan re­ creation areas. Conservationists intend to see that it retains its precious wilderness values. We can't afford to do otherwise. Rodney Pennock wins outstanding award The Barry County Holstein Association held its annual meeting at the Maple Leaf Grange hall in Maple Grove and highlighting this meeting were the presentation of the outstanding youth a­ ward, election of officers, and a guest speaker from Ireland. Rodney Pennock, 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Pennock of Nashville was the winner of the outstanding youth award. Rodney has been involved in dairy projects for eight years and is the owner of five purebred Holsteins. He has shown at the Barry County fair, the state 4-H show, and at local and district black and white shows.

THEY CAN NEVER BEATTM BARGAINS OFFERED BY BRIGGS HARDWARE With the ice fishing season underway, follovers of this winter sport are talking about "tnousies,” "com borers,” "crane fly larvae,” and other strange creatures. Here are some of those popular conservation pieces for baiting fish in the winter. "Mousies,” upper left, are one of the most available baits while minnows, top center, remain a* standby fish-getters. Mayfly wigglers, bottom center, are an excellent winter bait. They are found in quiet lagoon areas along streams, and can be dug by fishermen for winter use. Wax worms, lower tight, are also very popular as bait. As a sidelight to this menu of winter fish baits Conservation Department cartoonist Oz Warbach has sketched two important reminders to ice fishermen: 1) Don’t forget to properly print your name and address on your fish shanty; and 2) Keep litter off the ice. —Mich.

Neville s ests it is time to level off this area In short, Neville suggests it is time for MSU to consider the essential question of whether it is as good as it should be. NEW ANGLE will soon be made for one of the oldin the 14-year history of Michigan others problems. The pan several yean nearly SOO communities have taken part in the exchange. A similar num­ ber is expected for the 1967 observance the third week in May. Monday of Michigan Week is designated as Our Government Day, * when various departments of government at all levels hold open bouses and spe­ cial recognition is given to public officials. For several yean, participating communities have been given the option of being exchanged in population classifications or in a general grouping. Plans are made early for the exchanges so that participating towns know who their guest will be and committees and the citizenry can give a royal welcome to the visiting dignitary from another Michigan community. Between introduction and final approval, the bill is designated by number and/or title. It is read first and second title, usually by title only, when it is formally introduced. At this time it is referred to a committee for study.’ If approved by the committee, it is brought back to the membership of the house where it was introduced. Debate first informal and then the "third reading" or formal stage. If a bill passes by recorded vote after third read­ ing, it goes to the second bouse for the same pro­ cedure of committee consideration and floor de­ bate and vote and is sent to the Governor. Confusion can arise if a bill fails in either bouse. It can be re-referred to committee and brought out again at a later date in the session, or it can be re­ considered for an additional vote. STOP GROWING Recent emphasis in education is to provide high school learning for every child and advanced train­ ing to all who desire it.

The meeting will begin at 8:00 pm and will be held at the home of Mrs. Keith McMillen on Reed Street. Members and guests are particularly urged to attend. ' Jane Shoup became interested in painting the colorful Hex Signs several years ago and has made an extensive study into the meanings of the symbols and the origin of the various signs. She will come to the meeting equipped with many samples of her work, all bright, colorful and interesting. Most of the signs are painted with acrylic pains in bright colon. They are filled with symbolic fig­ ures. Little red birds, distle finks, are much in evi­ dence and hearts often show up to symbolize love. Oak leaves and acorns, stars, and tne sun are often shown. These symbols all have meanings and Jane will tell of this. Her Hex Signs have travelled far; she has filled orders for them for people in Flint, Chicago, the eastern United States and many in the local area.

In Vermontville 92 trees have been removed, but at present it appears no more are to come down. In fact, so many trees have been removed that the Boy Scouts and other organizations are considering plant­ ing new trees throughout the village. Barnes-Mason . Here, pictorially, is a replay of some of conservation's top news events in 1966. There were exciting developments on the state’s fishing front, notably on the Great Lakes scene where catches of coho salmon and the build up of steelhead runs gave promise of greater things to come. No story in 1966 was more important to fishermen and other conservation interests than the one that told of a new offensive in the fight for clean water in Michigan. Major battleground was the Detroit River-Lake Erie area where die most massive cleanup campaign in Michigan history was mobilized. Statewide, too, die push for water pollution control was well under way by year’s end. Michigan’s recreation boom continued to make big noises in 1966 and one of the major upshots was a record billion-dollar business in tourist trade. Keyed to die recreation revolution and climaxing two years of in-depth study, the Conservation Department unveiled a 10-year, $377mjllion program to meet the state’s outdoor recreation needs. The forest industry, one of Michigan’s biggest money-makers, surged' ahead in 1966, paced by pulpwood production which was estimated at an all-time high. --Midi. Dept, of Conservation Vermontville News Parcel post rates to be increased Use of Zip Code will make it easier to mail ; packages after January 15, 1967, Postmaster Wil­ ma F. DeCamp of the Nashville Post Office said today. New rates and a new system for identifying par­ cel post zones will go Into effect on that date as provided-in legislation signed into Law by Presi­ dent Johnson on September 20, 1966, the Postmas­ ter pointed but. The rate increases will average about 10 cents a parcel. Postmaster DeCamp said. Starting July 1, the law provides for a series of size and weight increases on packages mailed between first-class offices. Nashville. Michigan is a second class of-, fice. The size and weight increases will be in five annual steps, the last coming on July 1,197L Cancer tests to be given Private physicians in Barry County are to conduct, a cervical cancer detection in their offices for wom­ ' 1st and lasting 2 en 21 or older, start! Brown, director of t, Sponsors of the program are the Barry County Health Department, County Medical Society, County Cancer Society, and the Michigan Department of Public Health. Women desiring this examination, which in­ cludes the Pap test for cervical cancer, ate urged to contact their personal physician for appointment for sometime during the 2-month period. The laboratory fees for the Pap test will be paid by the Michigan Department of Public Health. Costs of exam are to be paid for by the patient. Dr. B. P. Brown said more than 46,000 Michigan women have participated in the cervical cancer screening program since 1954. Hundreds of cases of previously unsuspected cancer have been discovered by these tews, and lives of many women have been saved because of early detection of cancer. use « zip code in the recipient’s address will en­ able the sender or a mail clerk to quickly deter mine the proper zone, and thus the rate, for the package. The zones will be based on the distance a parcel travels between the 552 sectional centers in the country. Postmaster DeCamp said. By consulting a simple chart, which is available at all post offices, the zone can be readily identi­ fied because the first three numbers of the ZipCode represent the sectional center. This replaces a' ~. method in which a directory often had*to be con­ suited — 1—- to — locate the proper zone for each of the naThe new rates will range from 40 cents for a three-pound parcel destined for local delivery to 60 cents for the same parcel to zone 3 (150 to 300 miles) to $1.05 to zone 8 (over 1,800 miles). The new zoning method will also apply to air parcel post, catalogs and to publishers who pay zone rates on the advertising portion of their periodicals. Postmaster DeCamp noted that all parcels mail­ ed between post offices within the Kalamazoo Sec­ - tional Center will be charged at the first zone rate. There are 95 post offices within the Kalamazoo Sectional Center. " The new rates are expected to provide an addi­ tional $74 million a year for the Post Office De­ partment The later size and weight increases will add another $32 million a year. The additional revenue is to help keep the Department within 4 percent of costs on parcel post as the law requires.

Larry and his family have moved into the house that used to be the Voorhees home and later the Hartenburg home. There is a little pond on the property where the kids skate in the winter. Larry's brother, from Lansing, came to visit and expressed interest in the pond. He asked Larry if there was anything in the way of fish in the pond. Larry told him that he had seen no evidence of fish and was sure there could be no fish there. The brother insisted that where there is water, there is quite apt to be fish. So when he came to dinner On New Years Day he brought some fishing gear along with him and went down to the pond to cut a hole in the ice. He sat there for an hour or two and came up to the house with six or seven good sized fish, and some smaller ones. These he proud­ ly displayed to the guests and declared that the fishing down on the pond was indeed excellent The next day (Monday), Larry, who is no fisher­ man at all, went down to the pond to try his luck. He thought that if the fishing was that good he should be taking advantage of it He chopped a hole in the ice in the same spot his brother had and sat down to really enjoy the good fishing. He sat there for two hours with narry a bite and went back to the house cold and disappointed, to watch the football games and warm up. Some time later he learned that his brother had brought his fish with him when he came to Nash­ ville. BAROMETER friends to do a bit of tobogganing last week. Cleo . amazed his kids by riding a scoop shovel down the hilL The kids haa never thought of such a thing. Then Cleo went down on the toboggan. Well, any­ way, Cleo started down the hill on the toboggan. He wound up going only half way down on the to­ boggan and continued the rest of the trip on Cleo. He twisted his leg under him and spent the better part of the week recuperating from the experience. Art Twichell parked his car next to a small snow bank and got out on the driver's side. He climbed ■ to the top of the small snow bank and took a jump to the sidewalk. The walk was covered with ice and Art went down to the tune of a sprained ankle. Last Monday (two days after the accident) An was in such bad shape that he could not go to work. He sat up in a chair in the living room and Mrs. • Twichell turned the TODAY show on for him and then left the house. An said he enjoyed the show and immediately after it was over the kiddy shows came on. Art stood them as long as he could and finally had to get out of the chair to turn them off in self defense. Art is back on his feet (or at least foot) now. Mr. C. F. Shaefer, manager of the Bell Tele­ phone office in Charlotte, was in the other day and he gave ine some statistics that should make us sit up and take notice. We can see the growth of the area by the growth of telephone service in the area. Mr. Schaefer tells me that Vermontville has 709 telephones as of the first of December .1966. This is a gain of 28 during the year. The previous year's gain was only 5. . Nashville has 1253 telephones as of the same date. Nashville's gain was 45 and the gain for the previous year was 44. Assuming that there are three people in the area for each new telephone, that should give us about 216 as a gain in population. All of this looks good for the area. Here is a little gem of information I got from the State Department. Auto speed is affected by many factors, includ­ ing even your marital status, according to the Michigan State Highway Commission. Citing a study made by Highway Research Board, the State Highway Commission reported that single women and divorcees of both sexes tend to drive faster than married men and women. On a long trip, a person will drive faster than on a short one, and out-of-state cars maintain higher speeds than in-state cars, according to the study. The greater the annual mileage, the higher the average speed. Ownership affects speed, too, the study reveal­ ed. The average driver will not drive his own car as fast as he drives a rented or fleet car. New cars average higher speeds than old ones, expensive cars higher than low-priced ones, and heavy cars higher than light ones. Buses are the fastest ve­ hicles on the highways, passenger cars next, and trucks are slowest. < Two of my good friends have bangedrthemselves up by getting a bit frisky on the ice and snow. Cleo Prescott went out with some of his young AN ED ITORIAL: (Reprinted from the Grand Rapids Press) BUT STILL NO BREAKAWAY DRIVERS Hundreds of people die in Michigan every year when the cars they are riding in leave the road and tjit a tree, utility pole or some other almost-im­ movable object Highway departments can’t elin/inate all of these hazards, but they are trying. Trees are being removed along county as well as state roads. Now the State Highway Department is about to start using breakaway light poles and sign posts on new freeways. Theoretically at least, the new poles will break when hit and the offending cars will suffer less damage. A car traveling at 40 miles an hour will wind up with a two-foot gash in its front end if it hits the conventional-type pole, according to the State Highway Commission; but at the same speed it won't have more than a three- inch dent to show for its misadventure if it hits one of the new poles This is encouraging—but not very. Motorists who hit light poles and sach things usually are trav­ eling a lot faster than 40 miles an hour. That's the trouble in the first place. They probably would stick to the roadway if they weren't going so fast. We are all for anything that helps to reduce high­ way fatalities. Breakaway poles may help. But nc sane driver will count on it. Highways are getting safer all the time—but not motorists. "It costs more to use bad roads than to build good roads." * .

Forrest Rinehart of Nashville was soloist accompan­ ied by the organist. Miss Linda Aldrich of Livonia. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore' a floor length sheath of peau de soie. The fitted bodice was styled with a boat neckline and long tapered sleeves. The front of the bodice and skirt featured all over embroidery of white jet beads and pearls. A flat self bow at the waistline from which flowed a detachable chapel train furnished the back detail. Her fingertip veil of illusion was held by a white lace crown adorned by seed pearls and crys­ tals. She carried a bridal bouquet of pink sweetheart roses with pine and pink streamers. Miss Edith Mae Zemke of Long Beach, California, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor, and Miss Mary Louise Zemke, Mrs. Durwood Booher, both of Battle Creek, sisters of the bride, and Miss Janet Cook of Alma, sister of the groom, were bridesmaids. The bride a attendants wore identical plum color floor length sheath gowns with pink head pieces and carried basket bouquets of pine and holly with pink streamers. Bobbi Jo Brimmer, friend of the bride, dressed in pink, was flowergirl and carried a tiny basket identical to the bridesmaids. Kevin Jones, cousin of the bridge, was ringbearer. David Cook of Three Riven, brother of the groom, was best man and the groomsmen were John Cook of Mendon, brother of the groom, Dur­ wood Booher of Battle Creek, brother-in-law of the bride, and Robert Knepple of Marcellus, broth­ in-law of the groom. William Dussel of Cassopolis, brother-in-law of the groom assisted the grooms­ men as usher. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the Griswold Room at the church.

Thomas Thatcher, who had been brought in as Clerk of the House when the Democrats took over control of the House two yean ago, was retained as Clerk of the evenly divided House. He is regarded as both competent and fair and was not opposed. Selection of the other elected House officials was completed by choosing Rep. Martin D. Buth of Comstock Park as Speaker Pro Tempore and Rep. Roy L. Spencer of Attica as Associate Speaker Pro Tempore. On the second day of the session, the Senaton and Representatives listened to the annual State of the State message delivered personally by Govern­ or George Romney. His half hour talk covered a wide range of issues and current problems. He was interrupted frequently by hearty applause from the legislators. Governor Romney challenged the Senators and Representatives to meet increased needs in the areas of education, mental health, civil rights, law enforcement, traffic safety, labor, health and pol­ lution. As had been expected, a major portion of the Governor's message dealt with state finances and called for fiscal reform action, including needed tax revision to meet growing demands and to pro­ vide greater equity in the field of taxation. He urged that a tax reform program be enacted by A­ pril 1 of this year to meet an expected $110 mil­ lion need for new revenue in the 1967-68 budget now being prepared. He announced that he would not approve appropriation bills until appropriate tax action had been carried out by the Legislature. The Legislature has recessed for approximately 10 days while a 10 member bipartisan recount com­ mittee of House members conducts recounts in two Genessee county legislative districts. One of them was supposedly won by a Republican and the other by a Democrat according to the election returns as they now stand. If either of those elections should be reversed, it will, of course, break the current 55-55 party deadlock in the control of the House of Representatives. Understandably, certain de­ cisions can't very well be finalized as long as there remains any doubt as to the exact composi­ tion of the House membership.

Most say they will attend college, and of these, 89 per cent choose a college in Michigan. One in four hopes to attend a public community-junior ty-junior college, two out of three a public senior college ' '■ ccnt a private college or university. Of tbe seniors with B and higher gsades, 90 per cent plan to continue their education. Of others with 3 and lower averages, 65 per cent want to go on. These are results of a survey made last fall by “ ~*— MEMO;, a cooperative program sponsoi 1ted Project by all tbe state's community colleges and Michi­ gan State University, and financed by the U. S. Of­ fice of Education's "Talent Search" division. It included students enrolled in 592 of the 594 public and 153 of tbe 169 non-public high schools in Michigan. The survey resulted in nearly 100,000 student responses. .. Project Director David Schultz pointed out that "the total number hoping to continue education is far greater than any previous study ever has shown in Michigan. " Earlier studies by other researchers, who usually covered only a small part of the state, generally, reported from 50 to 67 per cent of the seniors.glanning more education. . A major problem the MEMO:' study emphasizes is the need for each student to choose the tight insti­ tution for more learning--"the school or college where he has a real chance for success, rather than one where his chances are too slim, " Schultz point­ ed out. "There is a place in some kind of program in some school or college for every Michigan high school graduate who really wants to learn more, and there is some kind of aid available to every boy and girl who has proven financial need," he said, "nut not every student is making a realistic choice of school or college really suited to his ability leveL "Michigan could use some kind of central clear­ ing-house that would help students find the tight colleges, and help colleges find students who will succeed. An objectively operated "Michigan col­ lege admissions center" that would do this would benefit the entire state by making an opportunity available to every boy and girl for tbe maximum amount and kind of education he could absorb. " Some C and lower average seniors indicated they wished to attend a college or university whose standards make their academic success entirely too improbably, Schultz explained. Such institutions properly advise these students to go instead to a less competitive campus where they nave a better chance to succeed, he added. : MEMO stands for "More Education, More Oppor­ tunity," and its goal is to "help every student use his brains for all they are worth. " MEMO: offers no courses and provides no financial aid to students, but works to bring students and educational insti­ tutions together and to publicize the greatly ex­ panded new federal Educational Opportunity Grants, work-study program jobs, and NDEA student loans. are the Alpena bic Community College, Grand Rapids Junior College, Henry Ford Community College, Highland Park College, Jackson Community College.

Who else would climb out of a nice warm bed long before dawn, in order to walk across the frozen surface of a lake into the fang* of a screaming wind, just to spend the day sitting in a little house that al­ most perfectly resemble* the structure which indoor plumbing is supposed to have replaced? When not tinkering with a contrary stove to keep it burning, be can be found hunched over in a half­ trance, looking through a hole in the floor at a square of green water. After staring at that spot for hours, he is so start­ led when a fish finally does come into view that he is nearly petrified. If he happens to be spearing, be usually does one of two things at that point. Either be will recover long enough to kick bis spear down the bole or will grab the shaft and hurl it mightily. In either case, the fish generally escapes and the spear, the tines of which have been lovingly honed to razor sharpness, will curl up like a home perman­ ent against the only rock in that section of the lake. To relax, the fisherman stands up and bangs his head on the low roof. At the same time, he nudges a quart bottle of coffee over the edge of the spearing bole and watches dumbly as it settles serenely to bottom. Fishing for it with a treble hook produce* nothing, except that his cigarette* slide out of his shirt pock­ et when he bends over. Ever alert, he dives for the pack and scoops it out. getting wet only to the el­ bow and soaking his new wrist watch. The oil burner now flicker* out and the fisherman spills half of his spare fuel supply down the hole as he tries to fill the tank. This clouds the spear! ig bole so he can't see anything under tbe surface. He can't light the fire again because hl* matches got wet with hi* cigarettes, *o shaking with cold, he heads for home.

The next step toward good vocational education in the county was taken last week by the intermed­ tate school board when William Ross, vocational consultant in the intermediate school office, was released to the Adrian School District to begin co­ ordinating county programs. He will start his work with the second semester. Under the law, the intermediate office of a county can organize vocational education, and can build a building, if necessary, but the program must be conducted by a local school district. The Adrian district was selected as the logical district and accepted the honor late in 1966.

NEW QUESTIONS Neir revolution in Michigan's most commonly used court level may be taking place these days as the result of higher court decision regarding jury selection. In November, tbe State Court of Appeals handed down an opinion in a St. Clair County Circuit Court case stating that the base for selecting a panel in jury trials should be as broad as possible. Since that decision, several counties have been ing new selection did not contain a good cross section of the county population. The Appeals Court ruling said that the jury need not contain representatives of all the economic, so­ cial, religious, racial, political and geographical groups of the comm inity, but that there should be no intentional or systematic exclusion of any of these groups. In other words, a jury list should not contain only retired citizens and housewives. Neither should it include only factory workers, or Negroes, or any other single classifiable group. To compile jury panels from one or two groups based on sex, age, employment or other factors does violence to the basic idea that juries represent a cross section, the Court said. State law requires that a jury be selected at ran­ dom from persons listed on tax assessment rolls or voter registration lists. The law specifies that in­ dividuals may not ask to be placed on jury panels. "jury service is a duty as well as a privilege of citizenship, and this a blanket exclusion of wage earners, either young or old, however justified ny prior actions of trial judges, must be counted among those tendencies which undermine and weaken our respected institution of jury trial, " the Court said. GIVES CONSENT Public reaction to proposals to tear down Michi­ gan’s 90-year-old State Capitol building has been most surprising to all concerned. This is primarily so because officials fully ex­ pected a real furor to arise in all cornets of the state when various alternatives were first announced for improving and adding government office space. Instead there was an almost deafening silence. Indeed, even after a second round of publicity was given to the possibility that it might be wise to raze the figurative center of state government there was still a surprising lack of concern expressed. A few citizens did take the time to write their op­ posing views, and one even sent the Governor a Stop* sign to express his discontent with the idea. Teenagers attending the annual "Y" Youth Legis­ lature wrote their sentiments on the matter. It is re­ ported that this was done after a request to do so. Most felt the present Capitol should be preserved for its historical significance. Considerable time and newspaper space have now been devoted to the various proposals. Many state officials feel the short supply of public sentiment on tbe matter indicates they can now rule out one proposal; that of spending the money re­ quired to restore and renovate tbe present structure and then move from there to provide space for the government which is so much larger than it was 90 years ago.

The fire waa caused by an explosion apparently caused by furaes from a floor cleaning chemical be­ ing touched off by the gaa unit on the refrigerator in the kitchen. A representative from the Brown Floor Service of Hastings was using the floor cleaning solution and when the explosion occurred he wasblown out the back door. He was alone in the house at the time. Although the actual fire which followed caused little damage, the new home was extensively dam­ aged by smoke, as were tbe furnishings. Fire Chief Forrest Babcock of the Nashville department esti­ mated the damage at approximately $1,500. Rev. Maunder remains active in semi-retirement When a man reaches the proverbial three score years and ten, and has retired from years of activ­ ity, does it mean that there is not much to do ex­ cept twiddle ones thumbs? The Reverend Leonard Maunder doesn't think so, for he is presently serving the 129 year old Congregational Church in Vermont­ ville, on a semi-retired basis. This simply means that instead of the usual seven day, on the job schedule of most active ministers, a reduction has been made to a mere 60 or so hours a week. A little over three years ago Rev. Maunder re­ tired from the active ministry and came to Ver­ montville where he took over the ministry of the' Vermontville church whose pulpit was vacant. He was able to bring to the church and tbe community a wide experience of some 30 years of pastoral woik. After completing his undergraduate work at Kale amazoo College and the University of Michigan, and two years of service in the first World War he ' went into business. Some yean later he decided to go into the Congregational ministry, and returned to the Chicago Theological Seminary at the Uni­ versity of Chicago to complete his theological ed­ ucation. He served churches in Illinois, and came to Vermontville after a pastorate of 13 years at First Church, Maywood, Illinois, a suburb of Chi­ cago. . During his years in Illinois he was active inState and City denominational affairs. He served as a trustee of the Illinois Conference and fdr three years was chairman of the Religious Education Commit- $ tee having much to do with youth work and summer camping activities. In Chicago he yas one of the directors of the Chicago Missionary society, and in 1956 was president of the Chicago Congregational ' club. Nationally he has been chrfitmsn of the Exe­ cutive Committee of tbe'National Association of . Congregational Churches and presently ,is historian : of that body. ... Since coming to Michigan Mr. Maunder has been active in the Verrfiontville Lions Club,'in the Cham­ ber of Commerce, the American Legion and in the Vermontville Historical Society. He is the present­ Moderator of the Michigan Conference of Congre­ gational churches, a position which takes consider­ able time. Accosding to Rev. Maunder this is semi-retire­ ment, but to the rest of us it sounds like he finds little time to enjoy any kind of retirement. Year end fire report CASTLETON, MAPLEGROVE, NASHVILLE. .

DETROIT—The discovery of a cell phenomenon that prom­ ises to . help doctors diagnose and evaluate treatment of leu­ kemia has been announced by a team of researchers at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Leukemia is a cancerous condition of the blood in which one type of white cell in­ creases vastly in number at the expense of other blood cells. There are a number of kinds of leukemia. The research at Wayne was concentrated on the lympho­ cytic form, in which the par­ ticular cell which increases abnormally is called a lym­ phocyte. Heading the research team was Prof. Paul L. Wolf, of Wayne'4 department of pa thdfogy ,-Hia collaborator was Dr. Samuel Albert, of the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research. This lymphocytic form of leukemia is common in older people in its chronic, or long­ term. form. When it appears in the young it is Usually in its acute, or short-course, form. with the chronic leukemia, and older patients were used for the study. The special Wayne contri­ bution was to show, through a study W the lymphocytes, that certain ceil elements common to . all' cells Vary in number within the lymphocytes. A low count of these cellular ele­ ments frequently accompanies affliction with leukemia; a high count is found when there is no leukemia. Improvement of the patient, through treat­ ment, tends to "up" the count. These tiny elements, known as mitochondria, are called "energy elements" by scien­ tists, since they stimulate cell action. In the Wayne research, the lymphocytes were stained with a special dye so that the mitochondria appeared as small dots. (See the photo.) The research was applied to mice before being used on human patients.

George Vogt, president, presided at the business reting. General reports were given by the secrey and treasurer and a report tor tbe year was also id. In the report for the year, Mrs. Geneva Brumm xretary, lined the various activities which had en done during the year. A total of $2,806.22 was ilixed from the projects, and after the expendi e of $2,437.20 in expenses, the Chamber realized >rofit of $369.02. The report in general showed the Chamber had in much more active this past year than it had in for some time. Much interest has been shown the members, both in attendance at the meet;s and in active participation in various worknrojtt. The Chamber also has a balance of $875 in the nk Night fund. Discussion was held regarding future plans for the .ristmas decorations for the village. It was sugsted that if decorations were placed in front of a rticular merchant's store, he would take care of and perhaps store it at the end of the season. A remittee was appointed to work on next year's coration needs. Al Smith is the chairman and hers on the committee include Harry Johnson, Ce­ l Barrett and Hubert Uthrop. It was voted the tamber would provide money for the purchase of .ditional decorations, the amount not to exceed 00. In preparation for the current membership drive, rrold Christiansen was named Chairman for the ive, with Mrs. G. Nicholas, Mrs. Nelson Brumm d Max Kelley also on the committee. The Chamr decided to leave the dues of $10 for business aces and $5. 00 for non-business places. A mention was made of the discontinuing of the ibulance service by the Vogt Funeral Home fa binary. The Chamber will attempt to work out ins in conjunction with the Fire Department and llage officials to try to come up with a suitable lutfon to this situation. The committee named for the February meeting eludes Bob Parker, chairman and Leon Ackett, y His Rizor and Catherine Beedle. The program was under the chairmanship of/John mon.

United Church Women gather for their annual meeting The annual meeting of United Church Women of the Hastings Area was held Friday afternoon, Janu­ ary 13, at the Hastings Evangelical United Brethren Church. During the business meeting two officers were re­ elected Tor new 2-year terms: World Day of Prayer general chairman, Mn. David Otto, Middleville; and May Fellowship chairman, Mn. J. E. Smith,Nash­ ville. A prayer of consecration for these and the other officen was given by Mrs. Fred Bower, presi­ dent. She announced that a Board of Managen meeting for the organization will be held on Friday, Febru­ ary 17th at 9:30 a. m. at the Fint Presbyterian clmrch. Besides the executive board, two voting delegates from each cooperating church are to at­ tend; the president of the women's society and the group's official UCW representative. World Day of Prayer will be observed February 10, the fint Friday in Lent, with local services in all parts of the county, to be announced soon. The speaker for the afternoon was the Rev. Wil­ liam Benallack, director of the Michigan Migrant Ministry, an outreach of the Michigan Council of Churches. 100, 000 migrants a year come to Michi­ gan to help harvest the crops. The church has seen in them a call for this mission of mercy. They do not fit into today's industrial society and are getting the worst of the agricultural revolution in which they are so closely involved. Their troubles ate multiple: 1. Wages are under subsistence level. 2 their mobility works against progress in their chil­ dren's education, thus entrapping another genera­ tion in the cycle; 3. there is an environmental health problem aggravated by poverty. 4. they need religion anochurches near the migrant camps are often unaware of them or do not welcome them. The Michigan Migrant Ministry sees these people (Spanish-Americans from Texas, southern negroes, and Appalachian "poor whites") as the object of God’s love and target of their ministry of mercy. us background makes no difference and there roselvtizing. One of their main goals is to e local Christians to people as rf the community while : here and to e in our There Ionia and Uke Odessa; a small group comes to harvest asparagus in the Ir­ ving area. Mr. Benallack had suggestions for items much needed in this work: layettes, plastic pants for ba­ bies, sewing kits, repair kits, skin kits, blankets, warm clothing (sweaters), and dressed dolls. Mrs. Bower asked that churches and other groups take these as projects. The items will be collected at the May Fellowship Day meeting and will be dis­ tributed this summer. It is hoped that Vacation Church Schools this year will also panicipate. The women of the EUB Church were hostesses for a coffee hour following the meeting with Mrs. Ron Hesterly and Mrs. Charles Fuller in charge. Tax assistance offered A. M. Stoepler, District Director of Internal Rev­ enue announced that taxpayers will be-providcd as­ sistance with the preparation of their Federal in­ come tax returns at the Internal Revenue Office in Battle Creek from 8:00 am. to 4:00 pm on Monday through Friday. This service will continue through the filing period which ends April 17, 1967. Mr. Stoepler advised taxpayers to first read their instruction booklet and surt preparing their return. Then, if a problem arises, telephone the local In­ ternal Revenue Office on the same designated as­ sistance days having all the pertinent facts at hand.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. Mcuau ”el^^i£EHG THURSDAY, JANUARY 26. 1967 NUM3ER 35 Committee plans for bettering community t In.September 1965; a Community Planning Com­ mittee was organized in Vermontville for the pur­ pose of promoting new ideas to develop the com­ munity and to further plans already underway. The Planning committee is made up of represen­ tatives from all the organizations in the area, the village council. Chamber of Commerce, Lions club. Order of the Eastern Star, Garden club, Methodist church. Congregational church, the Maplewood Par­ ent-Teachers association, the administrators from the Maple Valley school; various 4-H clubs, the township board. Maple Syrup Festival Corporation, the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War, the American Legion, Vermontville Woman’s club, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the LCA, the WSCS and the People's Bible church. Miss Mabclle Sprague and M. L. Lowe acts; co­ chairmen and Mrs. Leonard Aldrich is the secretary­ treasurer. The group meets once a month in the Vermontville Public Library and various projects are being carried out or are in the planning process. An Emergency Relief Center has been set up. Mrs. Harry Hammond is chairman of this group. To wel­ come new residents into the community a We) pome Committee was organized with Mrs. Charles Vtele as chairman. This committee is currently ih the process of getting brochures printed. Under the guidance of the Planning Committee a Historical Society was organized. Mrs. Mildred Allen is the chairman from the Planning Committee. Other groups branching out from this organization are a Tree Planting committee headed ny Carl Sowles; a Painting class with Mrs. Kolbert Arntson chairman; New Business and Industries, Dale Briggs; Ways and Means, Mrs. Anna VanderVeere, a Chfldfen's The­ ater project, Mrs. Kenyon Peabody, and a commit­ tee to study New Projects is headed by William Stanton. The Planning Committee met last week Wednes­ day to discuss Verjpontville’s participation in the Maple Valley News and getting news into the dail­ ies. The editor of the News, John Boughton, and the reporter for"several dailies, Mrs. Gladys Richard­ son, attended the meeting. Mr. Boughton has at­ tempted to balance up the news stories between the two communities since he took over the Vermont­ ville newspaper, and in the final summation the manner in which any news is reported is to let news­ paper personnel know of any news stories in the area, and they will be more than happy to write it up. A call to the News office or Mrs. Richardson will accomplish this. The next meeting will be held February 28 at the Library. Photos by Gladys Richardson Michigan Milk Producers Association meets The Barry Eaton Local of the Michigan Milk Pro­ ducers association met Saturday, January 21, for their annual meeting in the Community house of the Nashville Methodist church. A business meet­ ing took place at 11 a. m. when John Gilbert, State District No. 5 representative to MMP led a discus­ sion on Class 1 Base plan, followed by a dinner and election of officers, and in a special recognition ceremony conducted by the Eaton County Agricul­ tural Agent, John Johnson of Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. John Moore of Route 1, Nashville, were pre­ sented a plaque in honor of their outstanding work with dairy cattle. Although the Moores have sold their dairy cattle now, for many years they had an exceptionally high productive herd, and were for many years active in the Barry Eaton Local organi­ zation. The election resulted in Richard C. Thomas of Hastings being re-elected as president for a fourth year. The vice president is Gerald Linsley; secre-. tary-treasurer, Wayne Pennock, and delegates to the state MMP meeting, Richard C. Thomas, V. J. Smith, Albert Nelson, Gerald Linsley and Wayne Pennock. In a lengthy discussion of the Class 1 Base plan during the Business meeting, and also following the dinner hour, th? milk producers were asked to •4bte on their attitude toward the plan. The ballot resulted in 22 dairymen voting "NO" on the plan as presented, and four voting 71 YES". Then they were asked to vote on the question, " If no, would you favor a more rigid plan?" This too was de­ feated in a 20 to 3 vote. During the discussion period for producers in Southern Michigan it was brought out that the plan has not been endorsed, nor has it been voted down by the Market Committee or any other MMPA state­ wide group. The Market Committee however, did ask for an expression from the Locals while at the same time making no recommendation for approval nor disapprovaL . ’ The study of the Class 1 Base plan has been going on for the past three years. When it was first dis­ cussed there was an overabundance of milk on the market. Since that time many farmers have sold their herds and the ratio of supply and demand is more equalized than it was, even a year ago. Dairy farmers have expensive equipment, their need for having a stabilized market is very important This is one of the reasons many are members of MMPA, along with the many other services the organization provides for them. A number of special guests were present at Satur­ day's meeting. Among them were Rep. and Mrs. Stanley Powell of the 89th District, Senator and Mrs. Harry DeMaso of the 20th District, Jim Starkweath­ er, MMPA field man, and Bruce Bean, Agricultural Agent of Barry county. Prof. Jun Boyd of the Agriculture, Engineering ' department of Michigan State university showed slides of his recent two years in Nigeria on the In­ ternational program from MSU from 1963 to 1965. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Maple Valley News Who would believe that just one week ago we were so cold around here that we couldn't stand it? Good old Michigan came through again. Otte week we have record cold and the next week we have record warm. I asked Carl Thrun if he had considered upping his trees yet He answered me that this is really In­ dian Summer and that we are still in for a blinger of a winter. There is always someone like Carl to uke all the dreams out of a spring-like day, orfew days. ‘ . Then, on the other hand are such optimistic peo­ ple as Lee Weeks, who said that he figures that every nice day we have is just one more hunk out of the winter. Lee and I will enjoy the weather, and Carl had better start thinking about upping trees. This is going to be the shortest winter on record. Spring just has to be early this year. I'm ready.

This should cause no concern in that all taxes have been paid on equalized valuation* for a number of year*. In­ stead of the usual assessed valuation that has a p peared on each tax statement in the past there will be only the equalized value on all tax statemenu for 1967. If no new millage is voted your tax dol­ lars would remain very near the: present level*. The New Constitution of Michigan has this to say"The Legislature shall provide for the uniform gen­ eral ad valorem taxation of real and tangible per­ sonal property not exempt by law. The Legislature shall provide for the determination of True Cash Vai ue of such property; the proportion of True Cash Val­ ue at which such property shall be uniforml' ed, which shall not, after January 1st, 1966 exceed 50% and for a system of equalization of assessmenu." Cancer tests to be given True Cash Value means the usual selling price at the Mjace where the property to which the term is applied shall be at the time of assessment, being the price which could be obtained at private sale ani not at forced or auction sale. All Township, City and Village Assessment Rolls are in the process of being changed over from assess­ ed values on each parcel of property to State Equal­ ized Values at the present time. As the law further states, "Notwithstanding any other provision of the law all property s" ” be assessed at 50% of ------shall it* True Cash Value." Thilerefore the figure that will appear on the 1967 tax statements w: be the Equalized . Value of 50% of True Cash Value. All values as placed in the Assessment Roll are of course subject to review by the Local Board of Re­ view, who have the power to raise of lower indivi­ dual assessments only. The Assessment Rolls then go to the County Board of Supervisors where through their Equalization Committee a determination must be made as to the equality and uniformity of assess­ ments on the Total Roll of each assessing unit. This process is further aided now by a full time County Equalization Departinent. At the present time this Department is making a study of assessing procedures and property values in each Township,______________ Every woman resident of Barry County, 21 .years of age and over, who hasn't yet made an appoint­ ment for the cervical cancer screening test should ask herself two questions: Do I know of any person, friend or relative, who died from cancer--some­ one who might be alive today had they known a­ bout the disease early enough? Do I owe it to my­ self and my family to make sure I don't have can­ cer? With cancer the second leading cause of death in Michigan, the chances are that most women will answer yes to the first question. Response to question two may be life saving. The cervical cancer screening program, which includes the "Pap" test, starts Feb. 1 and contin­ ues through March 31. • It is sponsored by the Barry County Health Department, Barry County physi­ cians, Barry County unit of the American Cancer Society, and the Michigan Department of public health. During this time, the Michigan Department of Public Health will pay for the laboratory fees. In the early stages, cancer of the cervix pro­ duces no symptoms such as pain or bleeding. It can be detected in this stage only through micro­ scopic examination of cells, which can he ob­ tained quickly and painlessly much in the same way that a physician takes a throat swab to test for the presence of disease germs. If the laboratory test indicates normal cell tis­ sue, and the physician's examination reveals no suspicious symptoms, it can be safely assumed that no cancer is present--at least for the time be­ ing. However, checkups should be repeated at periodic intervals. By changing over to Equalized values it is hoped that a more equitable system of tax payments will be forthcoming county wide. Each one can very —“ ----- tax statement by applying the millage allocated or voted direct to his equalized assessment In the past very few people knew how their own tax bill was figured. Barry County is not alone in going through this process. The Supervis­ ors and Assessors in each of the 1783 units within the State of Michigan are all doing the same thing. When this process u complete the assessments will will all be on same basis. If questions arise each individual will find that his local Supenrisor or Assessor will be very cooper­ ative in explaining the details of this new system, which should provide for a more equitable taxation for each property owner in Barry County. This article has been prepared by the Equaliza­ tion Committee of the Barry County Board of Super­ visors composed of the following members— Russell K. Mead, Castleton Township, chairman. Lloyd Hoffman, Barry Township; Roland Lyons, Prairieville Township; Floyd Miller, Assyria Town­ ship; Jerome VanMatre, Yankee Spring Township; Mrs. Glenna Weber, Hope Township and Mrs. Donna Kinney, City of Hastings.________ ________________ Even the ash tray rides smoother in Chevrolets When you’re down at your dealer’s trying out a new Chevrolet, be sure you pull out the ash tray.

License plate sales lag state meeting A copy of a policy declaration or an insurance ID card which contains the same information as the certificate. A certificate of insurance binder'or any docu­ ment containing the same information as a binder showing the binder period or expiration date. Hare said binders must be given to branch per­ sonnel when plates are purchased and would be check­ ed at the expiration period to see if the person fol­ lowed through on the purchase of liability insur­ ance. Persons who do not show in-effect liability insurance will be asked to pay the $35 uninsured fee. The only Double with early licence plate buyen in the opinion of Secretary of State Jamet M. Hare it "there just are not enough of them. " Hare pointed to the "slow" pace of 1967 plate sales which were running nearly 200, 000 below comparable dates last year during mid-January. "Unless we pick up the sales tempo by the end of this month and the first 10 days of February, I'm afraid buyers will be faced with monumental. lines of pushing people and flaring tempers," Hare predicted. , Hare pointed to several factors which he said were "contributing to the snail's-pace license sales campaign. 1. " Lag in new car sales. This has seriously af­ fected sale of plates during the tag-end of 1966 and seems to be -extending into the new year. Used car sales seem to be down, too. " 2. "Persons who obtained plates early last year because they were leerie of the new Motor Vehi­ cle Accident Claims Fund have a year's exper­ ience to call upon and don't seem overly con­ cerned about being later this year." X "License plate sales were stimulated last year by the gigantic state-wide educational and publicity campaign on the Accident Fund which stimulated persons to buy plates early. " Hare pointed out another problem, caused when the Legislature extended the commercial plate buying deadline back to the original February 28 date. Lawmakers earlier in last year's session had passed a bill which had moved up commercial plate sales one month with the deadline of Janu­ ary 31. _ , The Michigan Anociation of School Administra­ tors held its semi-annual conference January 18-19, at the Pantlind Hotel, Grand Rapids, Conference theme was “The School Administrator--His Educa­ tion and Involvement." Superintendent Carroll Wolff of the Maple Valley Schools, attended the meeting. Guest speakers for the two-day meeting included, Dr. Harold Spears, president of the American Asso­ ciation of School Administrators; Dr. Paul Misner, Western Michigan University; and Hugh Holloway, superintendent, Sault Ste. Marie Schools. Hollo­ way. a former Nashville School Superintendent, spoke on "Why Superintendents Get Fired. " Residents may obtain licenses locally Accommodations have been made for license plates to be secured to make it easier and more convenient for auto owners to buy their 1967 plates. The sale will take place at the Masonic Temple on Thursday, Jan. 26. from 2 to 8 pm. In Vermontville, license plates will be available on Friday, Feb. 10 at Newman's Cafe from 7 to 9 pm. Owners should remember to take their title or ie registration and proof of insurance with them. "This is a problem we did not anticipate, figur­ ing commercials would be out of the way by the end of January." Hare again reminded vehicle owners that they would have to provide proof in insurance to qualify for the $1. 00 insured fee under the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund law. "If adequate proof is not furnished, these drivers wiH have to pay the $35 uninsured fee under the Fund." ' Adequate proof if insurance, according M Hare, can consist of any of the following: Certificate of insurance but only when a policy number and expiration date appear on the certifi­ cate. Terms such as "applied tor" or "continuous” are not acceptable. A statement with the same information as the certificate on the letterhead of any company or a­ gent.

Yo«t * Photo - �They came to town for supplies by many means--a-foot, by toboggan, by horse--during the big storm. BACKSTREET BAROMETER Last week at this time, 1 was predicting an early spring. Carl Thrun tried to tell me that the warm weather of that time was just Indian Summer and our real winter was still on the way. I have come to the place where 1 discount a good share of what Carl tells me, just on general princi­ ples. I will learn though, in the future, to accept what he says as the gospel truth. - Carl, never again will I doubt you, old buddy. Just don't predict any more of this. OK? Now after all the snow and blizzard, I wonder how Chris Kite's chicken is. When the, snow was just starting on Thursday afternoon, Chris told me that he had to get out and shovel a path to the pine tree for his bantam rooster. ... Chris said the little fellow came to their'house ' over a year ago. He just walked up into the front yard and took over. Since that time the rooster eats with the King's cats. Mrs. King calls "Kitty, Kitty, ” and along with the cats comes the little rooster. Chris says that no member of the family can get close enough to him to catch him. Otherwise they would putjnm in a shed when the weather is bad. " The rooster hangs around all day, and then at night, he flies up In a pine tree in the King front yard where h^ spends the night. Chris said he wouldn't fly far, so he, Chris, had to shovel a path up to the tree. Sure hope the little fellow got through the blizzard in good shape. This past week end will live in the memory of al! of us as the time of the big snow. Despite the fact that some folks were inconvenienced a bit by the sudden blizzard, people seemed to take it in good humor. It seemed to bring out the best in every­ body. . ■ Jim Erwin, head of the street department, said that on an ordinary day he has several calls from people who are unhappy about something he has done or has not done. Jim said that during the time when be and his street crew were having the most of their troubles, when the streets were plugged up to a fair-thee-well, not one person gave him a bad time. In fact they were most co-operative. The storm and the isolation of our villages from the rest of the world made for a gay holiday atmos­ phere. By Friday morning, when the snow was knee nigh to a very tall giraffe, nobody could move his car far, so everyone found some other way to get to town. Most people walked, but others had new and old methods of transportation. Those who bad snow mobiles (1 never realized how many there were) got them out and zipped a­ round. Triose who have horses hitched them up, or saddled them up and came to town that way. A few hitched dogs up to sleds, and lots of folks pulled the sleds and toboggans themselves. C. The guys with snow-mobiles seemed to be having the most tun. They zipped about town like cra»y. Some, who didn't nave snow mobiles, ran right down to Wheeler's and bought one. The ill wind blew him some good. Bun Cuyler has a snow mobile, and Friday, dur­ ing the height of the storm he offered Fuzzy Wood­ ard a ride home on it. Burt and Fuzzy were going along great when they zigged when they should have zagged and tipped over in a snow bank. At one time Friday, there were five snow-mo­ biles parked on Nashville's main street. Cecil Barrett, at Douse Drug Store, told Burt of Vem Gross, out in the country, who was need of medication for a chronic illness. Burt sent Bob Blake out on the snow-mobile to deliver the medicine. Others used the vehicles to run errands of mercyThursday afternoon and evening, many people shoveled out. There were a number of orphans of the storm. One couple from Cadillac, on the way to Florida, THE NASHVILLENEWS MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, pushed through to Nashville by Thursday afternoon. They could see that the weather was not getting better so they put in to Cooley's MoteL They were there until Saturday. Others were stranded on their way through town. Many people who live here were stranded else­ where. Many who work in Lansing and Battle Creek just didn't make it home. Art Twichell, at Nash­ ville Cleaners, lives in Bellevue. When it came time to go home on Thursday evening he couldn't move his car. He just went back in the cleaning plant and " holed" up for the weekend. He got home Saturday night. • June Nesbet called to tell us that a sheep dog came to her farm when the storm was starting. She was confused and tired so June took her in and is still keeping her and feeding her. It is a black fe­ male and the owner can have her back by contact­ ing June. We Boughtons were supposed to go to a press convention in East Lansing on Friday and Saturday. Of course we cduldn’t malte it. Many people from the Detroit area tried to get through to East Lansing, but the State Police routed them off the freeway at Williamston and they stay­ ed the night there in a church. Williamston was filled with people who just Couldn't make it. The churches and fire hall were filled up with people who stayed the storm out. One of the things they discovered is that there is considerable local talent we know nothing about. The speaker for the Friday night meeting of the press was to come in from Washington. He could not make it and the secretary was hard put for a program for the evening. One of the members of the organization said he would talk for a few min­ utes to entertain them. He did talk, and his talk was so good that most thought the professional speaker could not have done better. A woman volunteered to fill in a few minutes with a book review. Her talk was so clever that they have decided to hire her to give another one next year. Newspapers did not come into the town through­ out the weekend. I have not heard a train go through in days now. Indeed, we were isolated. A little village stand­ ing alone against the world, just as we did a hun­ dred years ago. The experience was not a particul, arly bad one. We learned that our neighbors are * wining to lend a hand, that they are nice people. The people on the street and road crews worked harder than they usually do. The rest of us, though, had a few days extra, when we couldn't get to work and so we spent a good share of our time shovelingout, walking to town, having coffee, and goofing off; Mail service into town stopped and was not re sumed until Monday morning.* Al Smith walked down to his Supermarket on snow shoes. He used to work for Consumers Power Co. and had the snow shoes from that time. He said they came in handy and that he had not for­ gotten how to use them. A. E. Halvarson got around on skis just like he did in his native Swe&n. During the emergency period, the Nashville Fire Department had three runs. Thursday evening they were called to State street where a car had caught fire while the owner was trying to rock it out of a drift. Friday evening they went out on a call to a . chimney fire and on Sunday they were called to Thomapple Lake where a Hastings man had gone through the ice. He was out of the water by the time they got there. They took a snow-mobile along with them on the runs just in case they needed it. For some time all roads out of town were block­ ed. Those who were able to make it to town re­ ported many cats stuck in snow banks, Howard Johnson reported that at one time Friday he could see 16 can stalled in the vicinity of three bridges. While I talked to him on the phone he said ASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1967 Bird watcher at work--An Twichell surveys his Thunderbird. he could see the snow plow on its way.. The plow got stuck and another one came to help. That one got stuck and the last I heard 9 men were digging. All in all, the big snow was kinda fun. It might be nice to do this two or three times a year, at least. * The street crews did a massive snow removal job Tuesday night by clearing Nashville main street of the big banks of snow. Some things stand out about the storm. In the first place it made us know our neighbors just a lit­ tle bit better. People were willing ano anxious to help each other because they all realized that only with help can we make it in an emergency. I think also people discovered that when you are cut off from the rest of the world life does not need to move so fast. People were in no rush to ger to town. They could walk and stop along the.way to talk with their friends. Not only were the people with the ski vehicles particularly helpful in running errands, but those who wuo uavc have cd CB radios raurus arc did their lueu share to help out. TI The , ,o. air was full of emergency transmissions calling for help to stalled motorists andihouseboldeu who. were in need. , WBCH did a particularly good job of keeping the people of the county and the area informed and acting as a clearing house for information. They were short-handed because people couldn't get in to go to work, but despite it all, they got on the air and stayed there with reports on road conditions. The emergency squads and fire departmenu in both Vermontville and Nashville were ready to do their best if they were needed. The Vermontville department had just one call, for a burned out chimney. All in all, it was a big week end and it was fun while it lasted, but if Carl Thrun is willing, we can have spring just any time now. ! Reports of robins are coming in. A lady was in .

I'll bet he is sorry _ now. Now I have to get my snow shovel and go out looking for the old ground hog. I’m sure the old fellow is going to need a bit of help shoveling out enough so he can look for his shadow. I intend to stand right there and watch while old ground chuck looks for the shadow. If he should . men predict six more weeks of winter. I’ll hit him a whack withthe shovel. If there is anything I can't stand, it is a wise-guy ground hog.

All registered voters of the Pre­ cinct No. 2 of the Maple VaUey Schools and the voters of the North Kalamo will vote at the Map­ lewood Elementary School multipurpose room in the village of Vermontville. AU the voters of Pre7 cinct No. 1 of the Maple VaUey Schools and those of the Mayo School District will vote at the Kel­ logg Elementary School gymnasium in the village This election is to combine the North Kalamo, and the Mayo School Districts with the Maple Val­ ley School District. It is not a vote combining Maple VaUey School District with any other high school district. The votes of the two rural schools and those of the Maple Valley Schools will be combined, and the majority votes determine the outcome. If the reorganization plan is approved, it will take effect July 1, 1967. Absent voter application* and ballots may be ob­ tained at the County School Office in the basement of the jaU in Charlotte. .

THE NASHVILLE NEWS AU of the registered electors residing within these three districts are eligible to vote. Each per­ son voting on the proposition of approving the re­ organization plan must be a citizen of the United States, have attained the age of 21 years, and have resided in the State of Michigan six months and in the Area affected by this reorganization plan 30 days next preceding the election. The polls of election will open at 7:00 a. m. and close at 8:00 p. m. Eastern Standard Time. Those registered electors living in the former Nashville School District wiU vote at the Kellogg Elemen­ tary in Nashville (former high school building). The registered electon in the Mayo school district wiU vote at the same location. The registered e­ lectors living in the former Vermontville School District will vote at the Maplewood multi-pur­ pose room. The registered electon in the North Kalamo district will also vote at Maplewood. AU of the votes from these two voting precincts will be tabulaud together. .How does this vou actually affect the districts involved: 1. The vou would be effective July 1, 1967 if passed at the February 7 election. The Board of Education, Maple VaUey Schools, would operate the new district including the Mayo and North Kalamo districts. 2. The Maple VaUey Schools presently have tuition students enrolled from these two districts. Because of chances in the meth­ od of computing the charge for tuition, the tuition charge this year is much less than in past yean or $12.37 per student in grades 7-12. Increased state aid offsets the loss in tuition. Students that are not residents of the Maple VaUey School district and ride the school bus pay a yearly amount of $48.60. 3. A yes vote at this time would make it bet­ ter for the planning of teaching staff and the transportation of students for the 1967­ 1968 school year. 4. AU taxpayers in the newly formed district would have the same operational millage levy. 5. However, in compliance with Act 289, 1964, the residents of the Mayo and North Kalamo school districts would not be liable for any existing debt levy for three years. If the proposal is turned down, then it is under­ stood the Mayo and North Kalamo schools stUl . could petition the Maple Valley school to accept them. But this would mean that if they are accep­ ted they would have to share their portion of the debt levy immediately upon acceptance. It should also be pointed out that while the Ma­ ple VaUey district is presently accepting tuition students from these two districts that they do not have to accept them. Therefore the voters have to decide at the spec­ ial school election on February 7 whether these schools should be voted in, and thereby not pay any debt tax for three years, or should the votets turn down the reorganization proposition, and if the vote is " no" will these schools petition to come in, thereby assuming their portion of the debt levy.

Well, if you happen to enjoy the outdoors and want to pass some of the best of it along to your children.In the years ahead, there is still plenty of time to make, and carry out, someeffective reso­ lutions during I9§7. Our friend Charlie DuBuisson is just bursting with ideas for folks who want to help themselves to a better outdoor future. Consider these ideas, then a­ dopt a few of them as your own: Get acquainted with your legislators and alert them to outdoor problems, such as anti-gun ligislation which would limit your right to own and use your shotguns and rifles. Keep informed on all legislation pertaining to hunting, fishing and natural resource conservation. This way you will be more effective in fighting bad bills and supporting desirable measures. Take an ihterest in at least one youth by educat­ ing him in sound conservation practices, outdoor manners and skills which took you many yean to learn. Evaluate your own outdoor interests from a broad­ er spectrum than that which might reflect only your own personal desires. If land is posted in your area, find out why and make an effort to bridge the gap between landown­ er and sportsman so the barriers will come down. Respect the property of another as you would your own. Don't liner, don't damage and don't enter without permission. Courtesy is contagious; start an epidemic. Abide by the hunting and fishing laws in the tra­ dition of true sportsmanship. join your local sportsmen's club fc; something more than the birds is releases during the hunting season or the fish it plants. Become-active in. its functions and contribute more to its objectives than your membership dues. Make a sincere attempt to understand the com­ plications of wildlife management and help, rather than hinder through constant criticism, those charged with providing your hunting pleasure. Take an active part in promoting conservation education oa a local or cute level. See thatthe subject is added to the school curriculum or inte­ grated with other subjects by helping your local teachers take advantage of special conservation .schooling. Try to find pleasure and satisfaction in the re­ creational aspects of hunting or fishing, not only in the harvest Make and keep one or mote of these resolutions during 1967 and you will have already contributed something of great value to the future of our out­ doors. In a state like Michigan, where hunting is such an important outdoor pastime, the gals get used to having guns around the house. Ladies who learn to use those guns for self-protection, if not for hunting, can give crime a real kick in the teeth. This was proved conclusively not long ago in Or­ lando, Florida, when 2,400 women took up pistol shooting. Criminals may not be smart but they aren't us­ ually stupid, either, and they got the message-quick. Th Orlando crime rate has plunged to new lows. Idea for training the "pistol-packin’ mammas” came from the local newspaper and police depart­ ment as a direct method of halting breaking-and- entermgs, rape, prowlers, and burglary. They thought 200 or 300 women might be interested in a safe gun handling course but were astounded when 2,400 of the gals showed up. Ages ranged from a minimum of 18 to nearly 80. By staggering classes, ir was possible to instruct all who wanted to leam more about guns. Training was conducted three days a week with members of the police pistol team and personnel from nearby McCoy Air Force Base doing the instructing. Each session brought 60 women to the firing line and a­ nother 40 to watch. Self-defense training was only part of die course. Operating condition of the women's personal guns was checked and instructions were given in safe handling, loading and unloading, cleaning and proper storage in the home. After they were checked out in all safety pro­ cedures, the women were instructed in instinct shooting at a variety of targets. During the first six weeks of the training pro­ gram there was only one attempted break-in re­ ported. The lady of the house wasn't receiving gun training but she handled the situation very nicely. As the intruder climbed through a win­ dow, she clunked him on the skull with a ha miner, then called the police to come pick up the sleeping beauty Officers feel this is indicative of a new attitude among women who are tired of be­ ing kicked around by the criminal element. When criminals know a lot of women have guns in the house and know how to use those guns, the effect upon crime is tremendous. Here, indeed, is a positive answer from thinking people to those shortsighted individuals who would disarm the American public under the guise of ” crime prevention. " It has long been said that the best defense is a strong offense. The gals tend to go along with that reasoning! Vein Wheeler "wheels" a passenger on a SnoMobile during the recent storm. The passenger may find the ride so exciting that he becomes a customer for the Sno-Mobile. Many of the little things were out and "around the streets and all seemed to be enjoying the bit of fun with them. --News Photo FARM CALENDAR BARRY COUNTY FEB 6--Barry Soil Conservation District Directors-8:00 p. m.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1967 THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO * �■ Church News Severely retarded youngsters refused admissionto schools are rapidly finding relief in local day care centers being opened throughout the state. .Started at Port Huron in the tall of 1963, under auspices of the State Mental Health Department, the day care program now includes 34 centers, in­ cluding 11 opened in the past six months. . Most of the centers are located in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula, but there are now 10 centers North of the Bay-Oceana County line. A­ nother four are scheduled to be opened before July. This new facet of mental health care was intro­ duced with the idea of relieving parents of the 24­ hour care burden required with severely retarded children and still offering an alternative to full­ time institutional commitment. Some 650 children are presently enrolled in the various centers. All of them are excluded from lo­ cal school programs. A few children enrolled in the earliest center op­ erations have gained enough learning and skills to move into public school special education classes. Mental health officials note the need remains high for additional day care centers throughout the state. Those presently in use are opetatmg at or near capacity levels. It is estimated that with the new centers planned through June, enrollment will be more than 1, 000. Also entering the mental health care picture this year will be the first adult activity centers, de- signed to provide programs for retarded adults who lack ability to bold a job or participate in existing training programs. The first of these opened in January in Macomb County. Six others are planned this year.

State Police spokesmen might cite a need for more teeth in laws which govern their activities involving speeders and otherwise hazardous motor­ ists. They ask for more cooperation from citizens. Take another point of view: the Highway De­ partment. You will hear that construction of new freeways and modernization of old highways is the best way to reduce traffic accidents and save lives.

Each year, particularly in winter, needless deaths are recorded in Michigan. The source is car1. >n monoxide poisoning. What most people for­ get is that carbon monoxide is present whenever there is combustion of any kind: canned heat, gas refrigeration, furnace, auto engine. "To protect against it requires adequate ventila­ tion. ” says State Health Director Dr. Albert E. Heustis. By adequate ventilation. I don't mean having the window open a crack. I mean a good strong draft. " « Aside from faulty heating systems in homes or bouse trailers, the most frequent monoxide acci­ dents involve parked cats, and the people who sit in parked cars most often are young people. I don't suppose it would do any good to try to discourage young people fam sitting in parked cars, said Dr. Heusth- " They are going so do it anyway, but tf we can convince them not to turn on the car motor when it becomes too cold they would go home instead of to a hospital or morgue. * THE NASHVILLE NEWS j/tj f METHOD 1ST CHURCH Rev.

Mr. Clement concluded, "Dick has demonstrated an unuaual ability during his short time with us as well as in other positions he has held.

Every woman resident of Barry County, 21 years of age and over, who hasn't yet made an appoint­ ment for the cervical cancer screening test should ask herself two questions: Do I know of any person, friend or relative, who died from cancer--some­ one who might be alive today had they known a­ bout the disease early enough? Do I owe it to my­ self and my family to make sure I don't have can­ cer? With cancer the second leading cause of death in Michigan, the chances are that most women will answer yes to the first question. Response to question two may be life saving, . The cervical cancer screening program, which includes the "Pap" test, starts Feb. 1 and contin­ ues through March 31. It is sponsored by the Barry County Health Department, Barry County physi­ cians, Barry County unit of the American Cancer Society, and the Michigan Department of public health. During this time, the Michigan Department of Public Health will pay for the laboratory fees. In the early stages, cancer of the cervix pro­ duces no symptoms such as pain or bleeding. It can be detected in this stage only through micro­ scopic examination of cells, which can oe ob­ tained quickly and painlessly much in the same way that a physician takes a throat swab to test for the presence of disease germs. If the laboratory test indicates normal cell tis­ sue, and the physician's examination reveals no suspicious symptoms, it can be safely assumed that no cancer is present--at least for the time be­ ing. However, checkups should.be repeated at * periodic intervals. ' - Margaret’s Modern Beauty Salon In the event the laboratory test shows the pres­ ence of abnormal cells, the physician will do a biopsy for further microscopic study.

Mrs. Earl Frost is the local chairman. The World Day of Prayer will be observed in Ver­ montville Friday, February 10, at 2 p. m. with the church bell ringing and community service in the Methodist church. The service was written by Queen Salote Tupou of the Tonga Islands in the South Pa­ cific where the first service of the World Day of Prayer is held. Since the beginning of the obser­ vance in these islands in 1949, Queen Salote led her people in the preparation and carrying out of their service, translating the service into Tongan, and speaking at the service whenever she was not away from her kingdom. In 1965 Queen Salote died after ruling her Is­ lands for 47 years, but a few months before her death she completed the World Day of Prayer ser­ vice to be used February 10, 1967, almost her last contribution to society. The theme of the service is "Of His Kingdom There Shall Be No End." The committee in charge of the program in­ cludes Mrs. Eugene Fisher, Mrs. Clifton McDonald. Mrs. Warren Jackson, Mrs. Jesse Baker and Mrs.Leoh ard Maunder. Offerings received at the World Day of Prayer services have given support to 12 colleges in seven countries, helped provide Christian literature for women and children in Latin America, Asia and Africa, provided a ministry to Migrants in our coun­ try, helped in the program of reception and hospi­ tality for international students through the Intema. tional Student Service and aided American Indian Youth by providing religious work directors. These projects will continue. A new project is called Sebenta. It is an adult literacy program in Swaziland. Africa where 80 to 8b percent of the adults are illiterate. It is also planned to expand the ministry to Indians who are leaving the reservation, and to establish a mobile ministry along Route 66 in Arizona to enable small towns and cities to welcome the thousands of Nazajo Indians coming into their communities.

Powell of Ionia is reminding homeowners in the 89th District of the Michigan Homestead Tax Exemption for persons 65 years of age and over. Representative Powell was a co-sponsor of this act, the purpose of which is to give tax relief to Senior Citizen homeowners whose combined gross income did not exceed $5, 000 dur­ ing the preceding calendar year. According to Rep. Powell, applicants must have lived in Michigan for 5 out of the last 10 years and the state equalized value of their real property can­ not exceed $10, 000. The exemption amounts to a $2, 500 deduction from the state equalized value of the homestead. The average tax relief is about $93. Persons eligible to claim exemptions must file a claim with the local tax assessor between now and March 8, 1967, the date for adjournment of local Boards of Review.

FEBRUARY 2, 1967 Nashville THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �paralyzes area By GLADYS RICHARDSON The "big snow" of January 1967 will be the main topic of conversation for a good long time and while much of the area was totally paralyzed for several days, the main roads are usable again, al­ though it will be several days more before the side roads will be cleared. Snowmobiles were by far the best means of trav­ eling,. and they were kept busy gening food and drugs in to families isolated by the storm. Barry couqty reported 18 inches of snow offici­ ally, but many drifts 10 feet and more were re­ ported. The snow started in Nashville Thursday morning and many persons were either stranded at work or at home. The local postoffice received mail on Thursday morning, but no more came in until Mon­ day morning. Newspapers, usually brought in by truck, were either delayed by many hours, or fail­ ed to be delivered at alt Electricity in a two-block area was disrupted when a local bulk oil truck bumped into a utility pole. Because of the interruption, many homes in that area were without heat for nearly two hours. Because of the weather conditions practically all meetings were called off. and the Maple Valley schools, along with many others, were closed. The students were taken home early Thursday.afternoon and it was anticipated the students would be on va­ cation until Wednesday of this week. The Nashville Police Chief Robert Parker was following the advice he gave all motorists on' " don't attempt to drive unless it is absolutely nec­ essary". He cleared out the drive, just in case he had to haVe the police cat, but he was walking in­ stead. One main concern was fire calls. But in Nash­ ville a snowmobile was pressed into service for e­ mergency calls until the streets were cleared. A couple of women who were expecting were concerned as to how they would reach the hospital, as were "their doctors, but luckily the stork decided not to fly. ■ Luckily Nashville grocers hadan adequate supply of milk and bread on hand, although the supplies were practically exhausted by.Saturday night. Those who purchase fuel oil and coal in small quantities were struggling to replenish their s u p plies, and a tractor with a scoop on the front was seen taking out coal Saturday morning. A number of travelers were stranded here for the weekend, but they found lodging until the roads were cleared. , The village street department managed to clear the main streets by Saturday, although there were « places which provided for one-lane traffic onlv I Ifhdh ttfe rforirt first, started a nurtiberx>f*the*oWtimers were reminded of sirhilar snows, especially the one which hit Nashville back in 1914, but a t ■tithe end of the storm they were saying they had nev­ er seen a lot of snow. Now that the community is moving again, lame Dr. Roger Barrette who lives in Vermontville, but maintains an office in Charlotte was unable to get out, but in some ways this proved comforting to Vermontville residents. Postoffice employees reported that no mail came into Vermontville from Thursday until Sunday af­ ternoon. A number of rural people came into Vermont­ ville with horse-drawn vehicles to pick up supplies, ahd there was considerable kidding about whetner or not to install hitching posts along Main street. Luckily there were no big emergencies in the area, but had there been, you can just bet that the people would have banded together to provide the needed help. backs and shoulders are the mood of the day, along with a few blisters. Hundreds of interesting stories could be told of ?;ood-neighbor incidents, and they will continue or several more days. Citizens Bant, operators handled messages. More people shovelled more snow in Vermont­ ville since the snow storm came last Thursday than rhey have in many years, and when one hears about being in snow "up to here" that exactly expresses the condition. Many residents who work in nearby cities were unable to get home at all Thursday and Friday nights. Some stayed in hotels, others slept in theircars, or took refuge in farm homes along the way. In one instance on M 100 it took some Vermont­ ville residents four hours to travel 2 1/2 miles Thursday night before they gave up and went to a farm home along the way. In all there were nine stranded at this particular farmhouse where a hos­ pitable couple made their guests comfortable, even though some of them had to sleep on the floor. By Friday night all of the milk and bread supply was sold out, but kindly neighbors shared and ap­ parently no one went without. The village street equipment started clearing the streets Thursday evening and worked all night. But by 4 a. m. Friday, the equipment was lodged in a ditch on West Main street for several hours. The story was the same in all areas. As soon as the streets were cleared out, the high winds carried in more snow. The Vermontville Volunteer fire department re­ ceived a call- Friday morning. The fire was on Round Lake road,-and the department was not able " to get through on this road. However a plugged chimney was the cause, and there was no nre dam­ age. . • The fire department set up some emergency e­ quipment using two snowmobiles and a couple of toboggans loaded with hand equipment, but luckily no mote calls had come in by Monday afternoon.

He walked out onto the snow and ice at the Thornapple river outlet across from Charlton Park when he broke through. He floundered in the water for nearly 30 minutes before he was able to pull himself out. Then he walked across the river to Charlton Park. Meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Green were just finishing dinner when Mr. Green glanced out bis livingroom window to see a dark spot on the snow He got his binoculars and determined that what he saw was a person floundering in the water and im­ mediately called the Barry County Sheriff's department. They alerted the Nashville firemen, and by the time they reached the scene Mr. Smith had reached Charlton Park. 'The emergency vehicle took Smith to Pennock hospital where he was treat­ ed for shock and exposure and released.

Applications for the test must be postmarked no later than Friday, Feb­ ruary 10. .The three hour test administered by Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, is intend­ ed to predict a student's ability to do college work. The test will be administered at 15 colleges in Michigan located at Ann Arbor, Berrien Springs, Dearborn, Detroit, East Lansing, Flint, Grand Rap­ ids, Houghton, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Mt. Pleas­ ant, Saginaw, Sault Ste. Marie, Traverse City and Ypsilanti. About 42,000 Michigan students took the draft tests held during 1966.

Road Maps available The. 1967 Official Michigan Highway Map will be off the press soon, the State Highway Commis­ sion reported Commission Chairman Ardale W. Ferguson of Benton Harbor said the new map will be ready for distribution about mid-February. The cover of this year's map honors the Univer­ sity of Michigan on its 150th anniversary and the Mackinac Bridge on its 10th anniversary. A photo of the University of Michigan 's Burton Carillon Tower appears on the front cover of the map while a night-time picture of "Big Mac" ap­ pears on the back cover. Ferguson said hundreds of changes have been made on this year's map, many the result of new freeways and other highways that have been 9pened to traffic during the past year. Michigan now has nearly 1,300 miles of freeways. / Ferguson said one million copies of the 1967 map are being printed by Michigan Lithographing Co, of Grand Rapids. Copies of the map are available free of cost by writing—on a postcard, please—to: MAPS, State Highway Commission, Lansing, Michigan 48926.

In honor of the great occasion I went out to inter­ view the old weather prognosticator himself. The trip to the Groundhog home was not the eas­ iest The county snow plows seldom take off cross country to plow out a path for even such a renown citizen as Mr. Groundhog and his wife.

It was rather, difficult to find the Groundhog home because of the recent heavy snow. J finally found the place and knocked on the door.' It took quite a lot of pounding on the door to get any action. Finally the door opened and there stood old Mr. Groundhog in a long night-shirt. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me.

I've been through that be­ fore and I can't afford to win any more free things." "No, that is not the reason I came. " "Is it a national emergency? Did Katy Winters catch bad breath and have to leave the air? Did Las­ sie rescue these folks who are lost in space and blow the whole series?" ‘ "Nothing like that at all," I said. "Then wny would you come around waking a fel­ low up when it is hardly half past January?" "Well," I told him, "It is Groundhog day, and I have come around for my yearly interview and to see what the prediction for the weather is going to be. " "Oh, my gosh," he said. "Is it that late?" "Ma, wake up for a spelt Put on a pot of coffee. This is the day I have to go out and predict a bit for the folks. Come in sir," he said to me, "and we will have a cup of coffee and a piece of toast while you interview." I went in with him and sat down at the kitchen ta­ ble. Mr. Groundhog sat across from me. "How are things out there?" he asked me. "I went to sleep right away, couldn't have been much past November when I hit the old sack. Didn't even stay up for the late show. " Just then Mrs. Groundhog came into the kitchen. She was outfitted in a slinky bathrobe which she ex­ plained to me, she had made herself out of a blank­ et that Dan Patch once wore. Her hair was up in curlers which made her look like an average Ameri­ can housewife at home, or an average American teenager on the street. Come to think of it, it made her look like an electronic device used by the Fur­ Fish and Game Commission for counting salmon as they go up-stream. She put on the coffee and started to shuffle around the kitchen, looking for the toaster. "Well now, " Mr. Ground said, "Just what is your first question in this here now interview?" "Just what are you going to predict in the way of weather from here to spring?" I asked him. "I hope it is something good. This that we have had lately has been awful That is what comes of having Carl Thrun do the predicting. " ~""Do you mean you had Carl Thrun predicting be­ fore you came to me?” he asked. "Carl Thrun is a non union predictor. No wonder you have had a spat of bad weather. Having a non-union predictor whap it up for you. Now that be has predicted you all that nasty weather you want me to jump in and predict you up some good stuff. That is just die way you fel­ lows work it. Get someone to predict you into troub­ le and then you come to me looking for me to get you out of it, Well, I'll tell you right now. It ain't going to work. Just for that I'm going to stick my head out and predict six more weeks of winter. Now go back and see if Carl Thrun can predict you out of that Come on Ma, Idt's go back to bed for six more weeks. This guy has gone out and got another pre­ dictor. " In a fit of pique be threw me out the front door and into a snowbank. In desperadonl went to Carl Thrun and asked him if he wouldn't please make another prediction, bet­ ter than his last one. " Look, old buddy, ” Carl said. " I just predict the weather, I don't make it There is nothing 1 can do for you. We are in for six more weeks of cold, barn winter. I know, because I saw my shadow. " This is enough to make a fellow go to bed for six weeks. Motor Tune-up Wheel Balancing Brake Service Tail Pipe & Muffler Service Dear Friends, After a wonderful furlough in USA, I arrived back in Rhodesia on December 20, last year, ready to celebrate Christmas with Faye Letts, the English girl teaching in our H. S. who calls me her Ameri- V can mother. It was good to be back home again, and sopn I'd forgotten that I'd been away, as I fell into a busy schedule that filled all my days and too much of my nights! First, I settled my side of the duplex, making it into a real home; then Faye and I tackled landscap­ ing our grounds in a virgin grove, a year-long under­ taking. Late in January school reopened at Mrewa High School - note the new name - and I started teaching algebra, geometry, and arithmetic. The first half­ year saw many changes in staff, relying a good bit on University students helping to teach during their vacations, but in September two more of our over­ seas students returned, with degrees, to join our staff, helping to solve our problem of geography­ teaching. Then our French-Latin teacher, aeon­ tract teacher from Ireland, left to train as an An­ glican priest. So next year we expect to change ack to Latin throughout the school, and I plan to spend all of December at Old Umtali studying Latin so I can teach the upper classes of it. In spite of shifting staff, we have had a very good year. Mr. Chibanguza has been an excellent Head­ master, loved and respected by all of us. (What a relief, to be freed from administrative-load!). We are like one happy family, and have such fun to­ gether. The students, too, are usually obedient, courteous and anxious to learn. In addition to school -duties, we have many church activities also: Faye and I each have a class of H. S. girls, full members of the church, to be guided in their spiritual growth; once a quarter we each usually conduct a church service at the girls' dorm, at the local government hospital, and In the Mission Church; Faye teaches S. S. class of mission­ ary children, and each Wednesday evening leads a weekly prayer-meeting in the nearby hamlet which I often attend. Will you join us? We must push our | way into a tiny back-room of a store, dimly lighted by candles, and packed with 20 to 35 men, women, and children. But Ctaist is there, and the fellowship wonderfuL : , About twelve miles out is a tiny pole-and-grass chapel in a new community, where church people from several villages have moved. Our District Su­ perintendent asked me to help there, and sincejuly, when we were given an extra petrol allowance, Faye and I have been going there twice a month, taking turns preaching. We usually have a picnic lunch on the way, and we are calling in all the homes. Most weeks there are 80 to 90 people of all ages jammed into the tiny chapel, but they have bricks burned and hope soon to start a permanent church. We love these people and the opportunity to serve. These are not all our activities (as we keep bouse, entertain occasionally, and in August I was chauf- i. fer for a load of overseas guests on a 1200-mile tour of our mission stations and the Zimbabwe Ruins!) but they give you a taste of our life--a very full and happy one. People are frier dly, my doors are never locked, and life goes on a.- usual in most ways. We are able--when time, pet' >1, and money permit-to visit our African friends in both the rural areas and the city. This we love to do and only wish we. could do it more often. ■ • Perhaps this summary will help you understand why ! don't send out letters I should. I do appreci­ ate your cards, letters, parcels of literature etc, and money gifts for the work. So do the many oth­ ers helped by those gifts. Also THANK YOU tor your love, interest, and prayers. Although it is not yet Thanksgiving Day (though my heart is always overflowing with gratitude to God for His goodness and to all of you friends.

Woodards Mobil Service �etball here February 27 — The Maple Valley public is in for a treat when the world famous Texas Cow Girl basketball team comes here for a game with the Maple Valley Coaches and some alumni of the school. The game, to.be played in the Maple Vai Gym. on Monday, February 27, should make an evening of entertainment for the basketball fans and drama lovers of the area. The advance publicity for the girl's team points out that they play the men's rules (whatever that might mean) and that they have defeated such teams as the Green Bay Packers, Michigan State football teams, Holy Cross football team and the Harlem Globetrotters. Despite the fact that the men might "outull" them, it would appear from the publicity pictures sent in advance, that the girls outmeasure the men in other directions. Much of the fun of watching a game such as this, is the clowning and comedy routines indulged in by the team. In the past they have been known to shoot the referee and to hog-tie a bashful oppo­ nent. . A preliminary game between the sixth grade teams of Kellogg and Maplewood schools will be played at 7:00. ■The game is being sponsored by the Varsity club ana tickets maybe purchased from any mem­ ber of that organization. Pre-scbool children will be admitted nee but student tickets are 75$ and adult tickets, in advance are $1. 00. Tickets at the door will cost extra.

The reserve game was won by Wayland, 49-30. W ihmi (sum How much is a deer worth? $100? $200? $300? Maybe more? Well, a lot depends upon how you look at deer. If you figure it as so much a pound for the meat involved, it comes out one figure. However, if you rate a deer' as being worth the value it brings in as a tourist attraction and how much peo­ ple are willing to spend just to see a deer, it ends up being much more valuable. Rep. Tom Anderson of Southgate has introduced a bill (H. B. 2055) for consideration by the 1967 Legislature which he hopes will put an extra dollar value on a deer and other Michigan wildlife. It should have the’whole-hearted support of everyone in our sure because it will be one of the most powerful weapons imaginable to aim at poach­ ers. Anderson's bill suggests that a deer be valued at $100 or $200, by virtue of law. This means that any poacher killing a deer would automatically be r e quired to repay the state that amount, in addition to whatever amount the court might collect tn fines and costs. j It so happens that too many Michigan courts still look upon game violations as a sort of joke. Too of­ ten a poacher will be brought into court and given only a token fine and costs or a large fine wul be suspended. Such action makes poaching highly prof­ itable. Anderson's bill would remove the profit from poaching. Nebraska presently has a law which works exactly this way. Out there a deer, elk or swan is worth $300 and a violator pays that much, even though tbe court may decide to suspend any .fine or costs. There is a flat rate charge of $25 for each small game spec­ ies killed unlawfully. Any songbird or game fish is rated worth $5. In short, the people ofthe state are paid back for what has been unlawfully taken from them. And, this is as it should be. Nick Olds, assistant attorney general for the Con­ servation Department, is highly enthusiastic over Anderson’s bill. He sees it as a solution to a prob­ lem which has been worrying many law-abiding peo­ ple for a long time. ■ c ’ -■• — Something like 50,000 to 100, 000 deer are killed legally in Michigan every year. What the illegal illej tail game and garni game fish kill might small _ be'is anybody's guess but it would be staggering. “ These wildlife specieshelong to YOU.

Wallace of Leslie, former high i c h o o 1 :n named administrator lot a new $8 million touting project for elderly persons. The development, to be known as -For-Mar Manor, will be started next spring near Flint by tbe Meth­ odist church there. The 60-acre site was donated by Mr. and Mn. Forbe K. Merkley in October, 1963. The project has been in the planning stages since 1963, and last November 4 the trustees of the Retirement Homes of the Detroit Annual Con­ ference, Inc., gave the go-ahead. Plans for the development were paid for by a gift of $100,000 from the Mon Foundation. The first phase, at a cost of $1. 6 million, will be a five-story building with 84 housing units. These will consist of 79 double rooms and five apartmenu. The project is.to be constructed in three stages over a number of yean, and when completed will house 500 persons. Wallace, a former educator and consultant on community problems stated that the philosophy at For-Mar Manor will be that elderly persons "should enjoy life, not merely endure it." He added that the facilities will be constructed on a campus-type plan with the multipurpose center serving as the focal point.

Saturday, February 25, the date of the republican state convention. Miss Jeanne A. Watz of route 5, Charlotte, was hired to teach junior high mathematics at the Feb­ ruary board meeting of tbe Maple Valley school dis­ trict held Monday evening in the office of Supt. Carroll J. Wolff. A report on the Athletic Council was made b y high school principal Fqrrest Rinehart. Paddings for the gymnasium walls back of the basketball board were approved by the board as well as additional marts for wrestling. Tbe athletic program is self­ sustaining as much as possible, ano tbe board will back the council whenever necessary to purchase needed supplies. The board will seek bids on two or possibly three new school buses and also on heating and air con­ ditioning needs in the office areas of tbe high school, and on items recommended following an investigation by the Improved Risk Mutuals as safe­ ty precautions in three of the elementary buildings. There was considerable discussion of the finan­ cial outlook and assignment of duties of all non­ teaching personnel. Considering the new federal regulations it is apparent that some changes must , be considered in regard to work loads in this area. A committee consisting of Herold Hansen, Chris King and Charles Viele from the board of educa­ tion and Head custodian Wayne Skedgell and coaches Jim Wynes and William Gibbs was named to study the needs of the athletic field at the high school. They will report back at the next board meeting with their recommendations. Mr. lunehart gave a report on the scholastic standings of the 94 members of the 1967 graduating class. Most of the members will be able to m e e t graduation'requirements but there are several who are having to take extra subjects because of lack of credits for one reason or another. Rinehart had notified several parents regarding the status of some senion who cannot possibly graduate next spring. The board approved paying bills from the gener­ al fund in the amount of $7,221.72; transferring of the January 30 payroll to the payroll account in the amount of $25, 973.04 and the February 15 payroll account amounting to $24,418. 36. Supt Wolff will be leaving Friday morning of this week to attend the annual superintendents con­ ference in Atlantic City slated for February 11 through the 15th. Tbe teachers' salary committee has held several meetings, but no definite report has been made to the board of education. It appears, according to Supt. Wolff, that the teachers are more interested in a percentage basis for determining increments than a set increment per year. Such a program can be extremely costly. To date nothing definite has been established as to what the state aid will be. Because of weather conditions Maple Valley stu­ dents have missed ten days of school. The plans call for 180 days in session, and this has been cut, because of the extreme snow to 170 days plus. The roads are still impassable in some areas, and when the snow melts there will be extremely muddy roads. Tbe high school attendance Monday was approximately 75 percent, and in the graces about 80 percent of the normal attendance. The board urges parents to see that the students are dressed warm, to protect the children from frost-bitten ears and hands. IFill present 6Shy Guy "Shy Guy”, a three-act comedy, will be present­ ed Thursday and Friday, March l6 and 17, by the Junior class in the auditorium of the Maple Valley High School. Rehearsals got underway this week, and M rs. Greta Firster is directing the two casts of five men and six women. Fred Hastings, played by Bruce McMillen an'd Danny Vliek, is in deep trouble when he becomes a model, and when he spends more money than his parents believe he is earning, when his friend Larry Madison attempts to get his chum out of hot water, and when an eccentric little lady of 80 decided to play football, any attempt at preserving the sanity of other casual observer becomes futile. Fred’s mother, Cora, is planning a birthday par­ ty for Fred’s girl, Nancy, but when two strangers, beautifully feminine, appear, in the persons of Gloria Patterson and Lois Corwin, the plot thickens. Fred is doomed; his job as model for Glamor Girl Cosmetics is about to be revealed. But leave every­ thing to Larry, Larry insists. Gilbert Hastings, Freds father, is furious when he learns of Fred's model­ ing job. Nancy isn't sure how she feels. Julie Tuck­ er’s chief concern is being able to keep the puppy Larry has bought for her on the installment plan. And that's when Melinda Whipple, that wiry bun­ dle of energy, 80 years strong, appears. That is part of the plot, and the play promises to provide a most hilarious evening of entertain­ ment.

If one tool or one part can do many different jobs, it can eliminate costly inventories, maintenance, stocking, handling, insurance, depreciation, obsolescence and other related manufacturing expenses. In farming, standardization pays dividends, too, as proven by Darius and Mark Kingen, the father and son team that operates the 760 acre Kingendale Farms near Muncie, Indiana. One 8-row planter and one 8-row cultivator, both set for 30-inch rows, can take care of their 400 acres of corn, 160 acres of soybeans and 90 acrte of tomatoes. Fourteen- I 1 i ■ makes another standardized procedure possible. Amiben herbicide banded over soybeans. It is the leading herbicide for soybeans. Gorn does not have nearly the toler­ ance for Amiben that soybeans have, so the company cautions corn producers to follow directions to the letter when using Amiben for corn. . • In planting seeded tomatoes, however, the Kingens plant only four 60-inch rows and apply a 14-inch band of granular Amiben in the row middles. Rows are thinned by hand to a stand of 10,000 to 12,000 plants per acre or one every 10 to 12 inches. In all cases, the same 8-row cultivator can be used in all three crops. The Kingens did extensive experimentation with row widths before deciding on 30-inch rows, in 1964, com was grown in 38-inch rows, soybeans in 40-inch rows. But farm­ ing in this fashion required from three to five cultivators and tractors. > By moving to standardized 30-inch rows in 1965, one 8-row unit did all the cultivation. This not only economized on time and labor, but also yielded an extra 3.5 bushels of soybeans per acre at harvest “Aim for high fertility ... put in what you take out... think of the soil as a bank,” are three policies practiced on fertility on all their acreage, the Kingens had no less than 144 soil samples taken last year. The project kept one man As per test results, they altered fertilizer application on soybeans, changing from 150 pounds per acre of 0-15-30 broadcast applied in 1964 to 150 pounds of 6-24-24 applied in the row in 1965. Fertilizer is positioned 2 inches to the side and slightly deeper than soybean seeds. Besides adding fertilizer to keep the soil at high pro­ ductive capacity, the Kingens aim for an alkaline pH analy­ sis of 6.2 to 6.5. At present, their soil is testing almost neu­ tral, between 6.5 and 7.0. , Soil preparations held to the minimum, consistent with obtaining a nerfprt.ly level seed bed A straw chopper is at­ tached to the cqpibine at harvest time, and then the land is fall plowed. In spring, fields are disked with a tandem rig to which a 15 foot floating drag is attached. The drag, made to the Kingens’ specifications, can be adjusted to field conditions. It can be set to float lightly on easily leveled fields, or dig in to rough fields. The adjust­ ments can make the drag weigh itself down with up to 2 cubic yards of earth. This is the last operation before planting via the King­ ens’ one-time-through system. All in all, standardization has made things a lot easier — and more profitable — for the Kingens. , KINGENS’ SOYBEAN CULTURE Total acreage: Planted: Variety: Population: Fertilizer: Herbicide: Rainfall: Yield: 1964, 24-inch rows 1965, 30-inch rows 180 May 20-25 Harosoy'63 8-9 plants/ft. 150# 0-15-30, broadcast Amiben, 10-inch band 7-8 inches 35.0 bu./acre 160 May 14-17 .

Convenient to use. Liquid concentrate mixes instantly with water to form a true solution. Granules are clean, easy to handle. Controls both broadleaf weeds and grasses —many more species than any other soybean herbicide—(some 51 broadleaf weeds, and 25 grasses including seedling Johnson grass). Weed control lasts all season long but there is no soil residue, or carryover, at harvest. (You can plant winter grains as soon as you take off your beans.) Not harmful to soybeans, no adverse effect on soybean, seed germi­ nation. Economical —$3.34 per acre banded at the 2 lb. per gallon rate. No wonder Amiben is used on more acres in leading soybean states than all other soybean herbicides combined. Better calf your dealer and get your supply early. You’ll never know how high your soybean yields can go until you use Amiben. whyAMIBEN is today's no.1 soybean herbicide �GIANT GLADS GLEANINGS The Weekly Valley Herald of Chaska, Minn., said that a young man applying for a police job was asked what he would do to break up a hostile crowd? “Take up a collec­ tion,” he replied.

A grass fire had singed it, and the tree had died. Already some of the . smaller branches were falling, although the trunk was still dry and solid. Lumbermen for some reason passed it up, even though at this stage it would still be valuable to the logger. Five years later I chanced to pass the same spot again. The old tree was still up there, on its feet. But its trunk was denuded of most of its bark now, and most of the smaller limbs were gone as well. I tested the trunk. The rotting process was starting, but it hadn't penetrated more than the sap of the trunk. The ruggedness of the old tree was impressive. Life had left it possibly seven or eight years ago, yet during all of this time it had buffeted storms and the elements without falling. . -. • The years rolled by. I didn’t get back to the old tree. I presumed it was long down. Then one day, fifteen years from the time I’d taken the last photo of it, I had a chance to make another check. I was visibly surprised. It was still standing, remarkable as it seemed. The rotting process was very evident now. Woodpeckers had bored into its trunk. It had the look of a defeated warrior. I was positive that it would fall within weeks. But it didn’t I checked with a friend, who hunted in the area. Months later he assured me it was still on its feet. Another year passed. Still there. But this Spring, when I went back to the spot, it had fallen. It had broken up, in its last ride to earth. But the trunk was still intact. I dug down with an axe — the center of it was still sound, hard and brittle. Its age, from a leaflet in the forest mould, to its death? I’m not sure. No doubt it was approaching the century mark when the fire killed it. From M Trees are tough. This old white oak was tough as they come. �THE CHALLENGE OF THE YEAR 2,000 ---- as viewed by John W. Simpson, Vice-President Westinghouse Electric Corporation in a speech be­ fore State 4-H Club Electric awards winners in Chi­ cago. The year 19S2 — just Sb years ago — saw a world quite different from, the one in which we now live. No television----- no jets streaming through the skies-----no astronauts - - - no atomic bombs or nuclear powered ships---- and we could go on and on. Mr. Simpson, with an eye to the developments in progress in the huge electrical industries field, projects us into a world just Sb years hence----to the year 2000. We think you will enjoy reading about this world most of us will live to see, and perhaps even help to shape. A Visit with Don dormancy, Ackley, Iowa In the year 2000, we have about 309,­ 000,000 people in this country — 120,­ 000,000 more than they had back in 1965. A much larger proportion of them are living in the cities. Transportation of everything is a much larger task — transportation of everything from peo­ ple and power, to produce and products. One way we have met our transpor­ tation problem is with air-supported trains. They are quite long and, trav­ eling as they do on a cushion of air, have very little vibration at speeds up to 250 miles an hour. “When you concentrate hogs, you’re bound to build up a lot of bugs.” “When you build up bugs, you’ve got yourself a scours problem.” “And when you’ve got scours, brother, you’ve got trouble.” ~ “TNT gains us a pig a Utter. That’s a bill in anybody’s money.” “We had scours so bad, I was running around with a syringe, treating eleven, twelve hundred pigs four or five times each. And they still looked rough. “Who wants to go to all that work ... and have scrubby pigs to boot? “Thunder! I feed hogs to make money . .'. not because I think it’s fun out there! “My feed man sold me on trying TNT. The difference is like night and day. Now I walk into that hog house, and the pigs jump up and know I’m around. They don’t just lay there half sickly. “I’m getting about five pounds more pig at eight weeks, and marketing at five months . . . prob­ ably two weeks sooner than be­ fore TNT.” TNT. It works for Don Cormaney. It’ll work for you. TRIPLE-ACTING NEO-TERRAMYCIN* We’re also working hard on a mag­ netic car that will ride on a magnetic highway and we expect to have it in production within a decade — by the year 2010. The concept is simple. The car and the roadway are each magne­ tized to the same polarity. Naturally they oppose each other . . . and so the car scoots down the highway with al­ most no friction and at very high speeds. Now in the year 2000 most of our families have a third automobile for town use — one that runs on electric power instead of that greasy kid stuff. It goes about 100 miles on a full battery charge and at speeds of about 50 miles an hour. It sits all night in the garage getting its battery recharged. We no longer form metal products by whittling away at them with a sharp edge. Nowadays we shape our metal with laser beams and electron beams. These cut with edges of energy with an ease, speed, and precision never equal­ led in earlier days. We can weld halfan-inch-thick metal in air with electron beams. (neomycin-oxytatr»cyclin«) In our schools, the teacher is no long­ er bothered with such non-productive work as grading papers, keeping rec­ ords and searching out good source ma­ terials. All this is performed for her by computers, releasing-her to devote more �personal attention to her pupils. Each student receives an education person­ ally tailored for him from a library of learning programs. There is no compe­ titive grading, because competition be­ tween students has been replaced by competition between each individual student and his own capabilities. In our homes, the outdoor area has been transformed in spectacular fa­ shion. Radiant heat adds months to the use of tiie outdoor patio and to the swimming pool. The roof of a modern house is automatic. It is controlled by a simple device sensitive to moisture, tem­ perature and wind, and it floods the 'house with fresh air, sunshine or moon­ light — according to the local weather and the desires of the occupants. When the automatic roof is closed, the climate in the house is completely controlled. Temperature, humidity, purity — all are handled by sophisti­ cated systems. The old-fashioned 1965 laundry room has been replaced by an inconspicuous unit along the wall that uses no water. It has a permanent detergent that re,generates itself after each use. Soiled clothing goes in one side . . . and dry, ready-to-use clothing comes out the other.

I made a hog of myself Another type of communication with radio frequencies is with the insect world. In the year 2000, we are devel­ oping systems of great interest to agronomists. We are learning how to kill insects and viruses with electronics without killing the plants. Without heat, we can even break the dormancy of seed alfalfa and gladiola bulbs.

Mrs. Lawrence (Valeria) Tonkin Here it is good old Valentine's Day and it looks more like Christmas. Back in my youth, when fee world was warmer, I always thougnt of Valentine's Day as a spring-type holiday. Perhaps that is be­ cause love and the spring seem to go together. Back in those dear dead days, we used to spend considerable time picking out just the right message for just the right people. I can remember going to fee dime store and deliberating for hours before making a purchase. There was always the lacy type card with the lit­ tle red hearts on it wife fee icky message about love and rot like that, which was bought for that very special little girl who sat across fee room. You re­ member feat girls. She always wore a ribbon in her hail. She was an expen at paste pot and coloring. Her drawings, which always among the best display­ ed on fee big board in the front offee room, were • of yellow haired little dolls wife round eyes radia­ ting eyelashes. The store always had a good supply of little cards cut out in the shape of automobiles and cow boys on horses. These Were for the rest of fee kids in fee class. Perhaps a teal special friend would rate some­ thing feat folded out, or that was hinged and pin­ ned in such a way that it appeared to be rather ani­ mated when properly manipulated.

Woodard's Mobil Service THE ECHO �of December, the Ms >le VaIconducted its were Julie Cranson. NanBill Linsley, Rodney PenMichigan's Conservation Department is badly out of step with the times. Even its own news releases admit to this by saying that hunters spent 3725.000 less for licenses than they did the year before. Y^ats ago, hunters were content to buy a hunting 9 license for the mere pleasure of getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air and scenery. They had a pretty good chance to kill a deer or knock off a limit of ducks or pheasants when they went afield but few of them gave that much thought. Getting outdoors and relaxing was the big thing. Nowadays, though, we live in a different society where everything comes with a guarantee. When half-a-million hunters buy deer licenses each of them expects to get a buck, even though Michigan doesn't have that many bucks. To the American who now has almost everything in life guaranteed for him by the government, this comes as a rude shock. Quite obviously, hunting license sales are going to continue to decline uuless the Conservation De­ partment soon comes up with a new gimmick. Luck­ ily, there are a number of things they can try. How about giving green stamps with each license Curchases? The hunter who bought a regular deer cense, small game license and an assortment of bow-and-arrow deer, duck and trapping licenses could easily blow $20. Think of the bundle of stamps he could get! And. if double stamps were offered on Wednesdays, every wife in Michigan Pf1would be forcing g her husband to buy hunting licenlicen­ ses. s. The men might fight it but in the end Rhey »hey would give in to their wives. Or, maybe the Department would find it more fun - to rig up a lively bin bingo game, based on the 11­ cense serial W!‘ a numbers ___________ ' numbers. ‘ could__ be announced over all radio and television stations at noon on opening day of the hunting season. Another idea would be to have lucky grouse hunt­ ers submit a tail feather from a bird they might happen to kill, for a "Match the Tail Feathers” con­ test. We could see hunters from all over Midhigan and surrounding states excitedly trying to shoot a grouse to see if their feather might match the one in Lansing. Winners of these contests might be presented with the use of a State car for an entire year, if they were willing to share it with a State Senator. Or, possibly, the w inner might rather have a coveted position on a citizen's committee to manage the deer herd. Possibilities for prizes such as these are limited only by the imagination. Certainly something like this must be dene soon if hunting license sales are to be brought up. It is ■ quite obvious that a lot of hunters no longer believe that hunting is meant for having fun.

Had it passed, neither primary district would have had to pay any of the substantial millage that the Maple valley residents are paying for new school builduigs for three years; Both districts" residents would have paid operational millage. Mayo district has been sending its pupils, num­ bering about 20, to Maple Valley .schools, paying only a minimal tuition and bus fees. Harold Stockwell, intermediate school superinten­ dent in Barry County, said that the present status of the two primary districts could be maintained as long as they could find high school districts to take students, but that they could be cut off by action of the high school district boards. If the two districts applied to be annexed to the larger district, they probably would be accepted, but the residents would have to pay the building mill­ age immediately, as well as the operational mill­ age.

Some 140 Michigan communities were listed by the Council as seeking at least one medical doctor and several in many cases.

These plans are not Following the Board's first vote, those concerned with the shortage of medical docton sought to em­ phasize that the need for trained personnel was a ' separate question. Most of the medical profession in Michigan has little quarrel with the osteopaths. Michigan hap­ pens to have more osteopaths practicing than most states because it is one of the few states where in­ surance companies will cover an osteopath's ser­ vices. The concern was that the State Board would weigh the osteopathic college request against Mich­ igan State's medical college application and that the already substantial need for M. D. s would in­ crease because of the delay. BE THERE! A welcome report which could mean more effic­ ient legislative activity this year came from the Republican Senate leadership at the start of the cur­ rent session. It would probably strike most casual observers as unimportant and unnecessary. Majority Leader Emil Lockwood simply said he would not approve any blanket excuses for absences from session. In previous years when the roll was called, the absentees were listed and the Majority Leader would propose to excuse all absentees from that day's session. Obviously there is no precedent for this kind of activity in private business of industry. Lockwood's position, although possibly prompted by the fact that his party holds a slim 20-18 major­ ity in the Senate, simple means that each Senator is responsible for being present every day unless he is either ill or away on official business. With aU the talk in recent yean about lawmak­ ing being a full-time job in Michigan it just makes sense that the legislaton should be conscientious a­ bout being on tap to work, as other businessmen are expected to be. True, most legislaton have been regular in at­ tendance but the absentees frequently were chronic in the habit and Lockwood's removal of the blan­ ket excuse should do much to eliminate this mal­ ady.

William is the brother of Michael Dooley of Nasi ville and leaves his wife, Mrs. Mary Imogene Dool­ ey and daughter, Pamela, and Mary Margaret; also a son, William Jr. Phone Notes MRS. INA SMITH The scoreboard tells the story. Maple Valley score is on the right side of the board. Through­ out the first three periods of the game with Hamilton, last Friday, the Lions were in the lead. Never, in that time, did Hamilton really threaten and it seemed likely that the Lions would score an easy victory. Hamilton took fire in the fin­ al period, though, and blasted through with a win of 64 to 57 win. Much of the reason for the Maple Valley loss is Hamilton's Mike Brinks who made 16 of the final period's 21 points for his team. Brinks had a total of 37 points for the game. , Maple Valley, after leading through the rest of the game scored only five points in the final period.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1967 THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �Juvenile officer speaks here Mr. Art Olton, Juvenile officer for Barry Count­ y, spoke at the Puller Street School PTA meeting Thursday evening. The meeting was held in the All-Purpose room at the school and although the attendance was light, those who attended were very interested in the program which was presented. Following the business meeting, conducted by PTA President Phyllis Mater, Mr. Olson addressed the group. He spoke briefly about the Juvenile Court in Barry County and of his duties as the Ju­ venile officer. He stated that any person under the age of 17 yean is considered a juvenile and he stated that the primary purpose of the Juvenile Court is along the line of protection and rehabilitation. He sta­ ted the attempt is made to protect the child, where­ as in the adult court, the stress is to protect soci­ ety, then the individual. The Juvenile Court is not set up as a court of punishment. The Juvenile Court has 5 fields in which it op­ erates, namely, delinquency, theft, traffic court, licensing boarding homes and supervision of adop­ tion. At least one parent must appear with a juvenile when they appear before the traffic court. Barry County had no direct placement facility for adop­ tion but acts in a supervisory capacity. A juvenile may be detained by the court only in 4 instances: 1 - if home conditions are unsatisfactory; 2 - a run away; 3 - for further examination by doctors Local minister retires Rev. E.

Nashville Fire Chief, reports that some people are using the fire phone in an at­ tempt to locate the police. Babcock points out that the fire number should be used only to report a fire or similar emergency. Chief of Police, Bob Parker, may be located by calling the Barry County Sheriff's department, W153441 and giving the message to the dispatcher. The Sheriff's department is in contact with Parker at all times and the quickest way to contact him is through the Sheriff radio. Calling the fire number for a police emergency only delays the call getting to the proper persons ano it also ties up the fire phone which should be kept open for fire emergencies.

The fire laddie* over in Vermontville are getting ready for their annual wingding. I understand the Opera House is all decorated up to a fair-thee-well and all the members of the department have press­ ed their suits and polished their shoes for the big occasion. This I understand, is the 44th annual dance held by the department. I also understand it is known among some of the ladies as the annual toe-sump"^L'he proceeds of the dance go to help buy new equipment and supplies for the department. The better the equipment, the better the service the boys can give. So the more people who buy tic­ kets, the more equipment, the better the equip­ ment, the better fire protection. Your purchase of a ticket just makes your protection that much better. When you buy a ticket you are helping yourself. One of the problems with a small organization, such as The News, is that there is no one but your­ self to blame for things that go wrong. Last week I sat down to write cut fines for the pictures in the paper. The one of the boy shoot­ ing the basket m the game with Hamilton I goof­ ed up. I really can’t find anyone else to blame for it. I knew the boy was Dave Lindberg, but while I was writing the caption I was also looking at some notes I took during the game. As a result I identified Dave with two other boys nsmu That takes some real goofing. Anyway Dave, yot> still look graceful going up to shoot the basket. JVewt pick up terviee supplied Boxes have been, placed in the Vermontville Post Office and in Johnny's Super Mart, for collection of news items for the Maple Valley News. News items and classified ads may be placed in the boxes, for the convenience of the people in that part of the Maple Valley area. Deadline for news and classified ads is Monday noon. Items will be picked up throughout the week. Some who attended that game with Hamilton, thought the officiating was not as good as it should have been. Some seemed to feel that the officials missed some of the action on the floor, and as a result, made some bad calls. . I am sure this is true. The referee at a boxing match sometimes does not see everything that goes on. The baseball umpire often calls one at second that has-she fans up in the air. The cop never sees the reckless driver go through town out he is right there to grab me when I slide through the stop street. This is a fact of life and we might as well ac­ cept it. I have never seen a baseball umpire snap his fingers and say 'oh dam, I guess the crowd is right. Come on back fellow, rll change my de­ cision to safe." As I say, I know they missed some the other night (on both sides) and I know that an official at a basketball game is bound to miss one now-andagain. I also know that it does no good for the crowd to give him a bad time about it. The team seemed to take the decision of the officials in good spirits. Some of the fans, mature men. shouted and even went so far as to tell the officials what they thought of them. None of this changed the score of the game. The only thing it did was to make the Maple Valley fans appear as sore heads. Shakespeare said it, " Things without remedy should be without reguard. What's done is done. ” All the shouting and telling off of the officials is not going to cnange the score of the game. Part of the value of a sports program in the school is to teach the participants to accept what cannot be changed and to change what can be changed.

Kalamo Diamond Look^ A fellow from Lake Odessa was telling me the other day that one of the girls on the Texas Cow­ girls basketball team is from Lake-O. I don't know which one it is, but he said she was a whiz of a basketball player when she was in school The girls play men's teams using men's rules, and they win most of their games. Of course, they clown around a lot while they are doing it. It should be an interesting game to watch. Par­ ticularity if you are a girl watcher. I am. at HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP Benson Davis was just in to renew his subscription and while we were talking' he made some remark about being sure only of death and taxes. Then as he and I discussed it we decided that we can be more sure of taxes than we can of death. Medical science is moving death back. The life expectancy seems to be going up. Out in Califor­ nia they have even frozen a body with the idea of bringing it back to life some time in the future. At the same time they are doing this to death, they are making taxes more certain. Anything done, bought or even talked about these days is tax­ able. Pretty soon they will leave death out of it. The only thing you can really be certain of is taxes.

Mr. Christensen and his wife Marie, are the owners of the Diner Restaurant. Some 20 people attended the meeting of the Association, which was held last Friday evening in the Fuller Street School. The group decided to attempt to convert the wood fired evaporator to a gas or oil fired unit The officers and trustees of the organization were instructed to investigate the possibility of an im­ mediate conversion. It was decided by the group that operation of tbe Nashville Sugar shanty de-. > pends upon this conversion. A motion was passed that tbe Association produce syrup only should the conversion be tnpde. The Svrup Association was inactive last year and produced no syrup in the past season. Last February, Allen Brace, who was then Pres­ ident of the Association (serving his second term) called the annual meeting and only two people iq addition to tbe President and Vice President show­ ed up. Brace decided that this was evidence of a tack of interest on the part of tbe people of the ' ' •’ village. He tendered his resignation and it was decided by the officers and trustees that because t of the lack of interest in tbe project, no attempt should be made to produce syrup that year. Mrs. Valeria Tonkin, Vice President of tbe or­ ganization called for a meeting this year in an attempt to revive tbe tradition of boiling on a community basis. Tbe attendance at this year's meeting was more that the total of the last three annual meetings of the organization. Those who attended tbe meet­ ing took this to indicate that there is a revival of Road Service Day or Night OL3-3601 NASHVILLE OL3-6294 OL3-8581 Wrecker - Radio Dispatched interest in the project. Other officers elected at the meeting were Mrs. Valeria Tonkin, Vice President, Frank Scramlin, Secretary-Treasurer, Fred Ackett and James Rizor, Trustees. During the meeting it was determined that the Boy Scouts would be willing to tap the trees in town and take care of the sap providing they could find enough adults willing to supervise their acti­ vities and drive the truck. At least two farmer­ producers indicated that they would have sap to boll. A work bee started cleaning the sugar shanty last Saturday afternoon in tbe hope that the con­ version to something other than wood beat can be made and that boiling activities can start. Frank Scramlin, Secretary-Treasurer of tbe Syrup Association, reported that tbe organization has a balance of $971. 39 in the treasury. The Association has enough containers in various sizes to sun producing syrup immediately. Rehearsals continue for Easter Cantata Rehearsals continue for the inter-church cantata every Thursday evening at the Methodist Church from 7:45 to 9:15 p. m.

Maunder, and will be directed by Miss Kathryn Brawnschneider with Mrs. William Dean as organist. County leaders and members of the Eaton Coun­ ty National Farmers Organization attended a closed state wide strategy meeting at Howell re­ cently. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss plans for a milk holding action and to discuss a new ap­ proach NFO is preparing to use in an attempt to raise prices on all farm commodities at tbe farm leveL County leaders were told that tbe NFO had done everything possible to try to prevent a milk bold­ ing action but that although processors had a bet­ ter attitutde, -it looked as though they would still be talking ten years from now with no higher prices for milk to the farmer unless a holding action is called. * The NFO leaden were told that NFO is adding a new approach to its efforts to raise farm prices. Details will soon be announced. This new ap­ proach will offer farmers an opportunity to use marketing information and a structure offered by the NFO so tbe basic size of the agricultural plant can be reduced so supply can be brought in bal­ ance with demand. Vernon Boyles, County President of the Eaton County NFO said, "No one should oppose this dynamic new approach. It is something farmers have always been told they should Jo. Now they can use NFO to reduce the size of the agricultur­ al plant and bring supply in balance with demand." The county NFO leaders attending the meeting were. National Director and Mrs. Eldeen Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keeley, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Becraft, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Ash, Harold Moon, James Moon, James Grier, Ollen McLane, Nelson Simpson, Don How­ ard, Orley Landes, Gerald Lundstrum, Warren Burdick, Joe Hickev, Don Davids, Lee Wonser and Delton Mitchell. Among the guests attending from Barry County were County Chairman, Ceylon Garlinger and Mrs. Garlinger and Mr. and Mu. Jack Bradfield. The most valuable item in your wallet...

Respectfully. i Some charge cards let you charge at one store. Some other cards let you charge travel and entertainment Still others are limited to the use of only one service. When you carry a MICHIGAN BANKARD in your wallet, however, you have a card good at over 15,000 merchant outlets that sell every conceivable product and service. That’s why we call it “the most valuable item in your walet” A MICHIGAN BANKARD can save you mon­ ey, too. Instead of buying at 12 different stores one month and getting 12 monthly bills, it’s now possible to shop at 12 stores and get just one bill. When you write just one check to MICHIGAN BANKARO (for the entire bill or just a budget payment), you save at least $1.65 in checking and postage costs. With your statement, of course, you also receive copies of charges. It's the ideal way to budget and keep tax records. If you have a lot of business expense, you should request our brand “X" card. It’s a card issued with an "X" after your name and under a separate account number. Use this card for business expense only and you have an exact report to turn in and to record for income tax. If you do not now enjoy all the convenience of a MICHIGAN BANKARO, you can get an application wherever you see the "Wel­ come” sign. You can also request‘ extra ‘ cards on this form.

"AGRICULTURE. . . Strength of America" is this year's FFA WEEK theme. The boys will undertake a campaign to inform the general public about the importance of the agricultural industry to America, the growing need for farming, and of tbe numerous and wide variety of opportunities that exist in the broad field of agriculture for young men who have a background of farm experience and training. "We have had such an abundance of food in America that people are taking agriculture for grant­ ed, " said Terry Chesebro, vocational agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. "Actually, farming is now and always has been out largest and most vital indus­ try, and it is becoming increasingly important with our expanding population. In our area, particularly, most 'of the bussinesses, and most of the jobs, are basically dependent upon surrounding farms for their existence. Take away the farms, and for all prac­ tical purposes you would destroy the entire commu­ nity. " We also want to point out the very important part that agricultural knowledge and farm products have in the nation's world commitments. Membership in the FFA is made up of students of vocational agriculture in high school. The organi­ zation's activities are designed to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship, and to stimu­ late the students tc better achievement in their study and work towards successful establishments in farming or other agricultural occupations.

Kowalski announced today the appointment of Claude Burton to the Legislative Information Committee (LINC). Burton served as State Representative in the 73rd Legislature (1965-66) from the 56th District which includes the counties of Calhoun and Eaton and the cities of Charlotte, Albion, and Marshall Tbe new Legislative Information Committee will serve as an advisory council to the Democratic ' Caucus of the Michigan House of Representatives. The primary purpose for the formation of LINC is to bring a broader, statewide representation of views on public issues to the House Democratic Caucus. In announcing Burton's appointment to LINC, Representative Kowalski; said: uWe are pleased that Burton has accepted our in­ vitation to serve on the Legislative Information Committee. Burton's appointment will mean that the 56th District will be represented in the House Democratic Caucus during the coming two years. "During the years of 1965-66 Burton served in the House of Representatives as a member of the Com­ mittees on Agriculture. Drainage. Elections and Public Safety. ” "The special knowledge and experience Burton has developed through his work on these committees will be of great value to our Caucus. " "We believe that Burton's appointment to LINC will benefit the people of the 56th District, also, because Burton will.be able to represent their views directly in the House Caucus. "The election of 1966 narrowed drastically the geographic base of the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives. We hope to expand that base through the activities of LINC. We want to be as aware of the views of the people in the coun­ ties of Calhoun and Eaton and the cities of Charlotte, Offer Flouride program Barry County will again hold a summer Topical Flouride program this year.

"LINC will meet monthly with our Caucus to ex­ change views on the issues and programs which will be under legislative consideraticm tn 1967 and 1968. Caucus Members will have the opportunity to ex­ plain Caucus positions on issues and LINC members will have the opportunity to present the opinions of their district to the Caucus.

BACKSTREET BAROMETER We got a real good letter to' the editor which'we arc unable to print because it has not been signed with a name. The only signature on the letter is Very Unhappy Taxpayer. Letters to the editor are always welcome here and they are always used if it is at all possible to do so. However there are some ground rules to which we must adhere. In the first place, the letter must be sighed with the name of ' writer. 'Inmost cases we would prefer to-use the name of the writer because we be­ lieve that anyone who has something to say should not care if-anyone or everyone knows who is saying it. In some cases we may use a pseudoname but the true name of the writer must oe known by us. Of course, (here are some other rules. The let­ ter must be in good taste, it must contain no libel­ ous statements and it should be of general interest to the readers of the paper. The letter we have here complies with all the requirements excepting the true signature of the writer. If he would stop in the office and sign the letter we could publish it We would be happy to publish it. The letters to the editor nave always been one of the most popular features of the paper. People love to hear from other people. Sometimes it is real refreshing to get an opinion other than that of the editor. Many lany folks observe things that the tirec old editor didn't know a thing about. This is one of those letters that points this up. So - If Very Unhappy Taxpayer will drop in and sign the letter we will publish it.

I think some rural schools have been vo­ ted into the town school when the rural school want­ ed to remain by itself. This was accomplished by counting all votes together. This is wrong. The rural school should have the say about what it wants to do. I was educated in a rural school apd thought I received a good education.

Douse, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville, has been initiated into the Michigan State University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman men's honor society. Steven is majoring in political science. Students must have a 3. 5 grade point average (A-) for at least one term during their freshman INTERIOR PAINTING & DECORATING year to be initiated.

MINOR REPAIRS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE -CALL 1 Forty three boys in Cub Scout organization There are forty-three boys in Nashville and the surrounding area who have indicated an in­ terest in joining or have already joined the Cub Scouts. There are seven dens which hold meetings once a week and there is a Pack meeting the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm at the VFW Halt The pack meetings are held to give the boys an opportunity to demonstrate or display their of the projects started in the den meetings, parents are urged to attend all pack meetings if at all possible as this is where the Cubs are recog­ nized for their achievements accomplished. There seems to be the misunderstanding that Cub Scouting is all taken care of in the den meet­ ings. This is not the case. Cubbing, as all phases of Scouting, is a cooperative organization to bring the parents (fathers) closer to their boys, starting a father-son relationship which will grow through the years. This is why the Scouting achievements must be signed by the parents before the scout can receive his award. Also, many of the achievements need the parent's help to complete. Scouting, in all phases from Cubbing through Ex­ plorer, helps not only the boys involved but the whole community. Earl Hose is the local neighborhood commis­ sioner and all persons interested in helping in any way are urged to contact Mr. Hose.

Morning Worship 11:00 am Evening Worship 7:00 pm Prayer Meeting, Wed 7:30 pm • Remember your fine car and all the good timer you bad with it on those hunting and fishing trips, picnict and other family outings? Ever wonder what happened to it after you traded it in for a sleek new model? We bate to mention it but chancer are it ended up in a junkyard like the onei which line many of our highways. The thought of that sort of gets you right here, doesn't it? Well, last year for a time it looked like help was on the way. During that session of Congress, Sena­ tor Paul Douglas of Illinois introduced a bill call­ ing for "proper burial" of old cars. An admitted secondary purpose was to clean up those old high­ way junkyard eyesores. The Douglas bill got lost in the shuffle and, last November, as you probably know by now, Senator Douglas did too, wnen .be was defeated for re­ election by new Senator Charles Percy. , Actually, we hope somebody else will now take up his junk car bill and carry it through to com­ pletion. Here's what it would do: Each new car, when purchased, would carry with it funds for is ultimate disposal. With 30 to 40 million junk cars disfiguring our countryside from coast to coast, it is getting to be a problem sometimes to even find places to pile them up. = . The right kind of bill would amend the Solid Waste.,Disposal Act of 1965 and set up a program to dispose of the accumulation of junk jalopies. It would authorize the President to develop a pro­ gram for the purchase, storage and resale of scrap from old and wrecked autos. It would also en­ courage development of improved scrap processing techniques and assist states and localities in creat­ ing practical programs for disposal of junk cars. It was Douglas who was largely responsible for retaining permanently a minimum federal excise tax of one percent on the sale of new automobiles. His idea was that the cost of junk auto disposal should be bone by those who buy cars. Funds would be appropriated annually to finance the "decent burial4 program, within the amount col­ lected by the one percent permanent federal ex­ cise tax. We can't help but believe that somewhere out there, in the vastness of wherever it is that dead television prograrrtt go, that "My Mother the Car" must be wiping a bit of moisture from her head­ lights as she hopes someone will see a bill like this through to completion. There’s even some­ thing beautiful in junk, isn't there? BARRYVIUE METHODIST Rev.

The Nashville Volunteer Fire Depanmem held a twits steak dinner out at the Mapleleaf Grange Hall but they really didn't ger a chance to finish their '— dessert when the siren Mew. Fire Chief Babcock got up and announced that the firemen bad to run (right in the middle of dessert) because there was a fire alarm. Turned out to be a chimney burning out, so they were back to the party before too long. . The women folks decided something though durSthe meeting. They decided that the men should have all the fun of going to fire conventions and being visiting firemen alone. The women are en­ gaged in a selling campaign (check the classifieds) to raise enough money to finance a trip to the Mich­ igan State Fire Convention with the men. The Convention is to be held at Port Austin in June. Mt Editor; The dog owners of this county are paying a high dog license fee for nothing and don't realize it 1. Over the last three yean a $26,533.82 sur­ plus from dog fees which was supposed to be used to build an animal shelter was put into the gen­ eral fund and spent for other purposes. Where did this money go? 2. If that money plus this year's surplus of $8,000 were available, it would pay for the $34,823 new shelter. 3. At the last meeting of the board of county * supervisors, a second assistant prosecutor was hired at $6,500 a year. Why should dog ownen pay for this with dog taxes, when we haven't money to build a shelter? 4. If we aren't going to have a dog shelter, why do we have dog taxes at all? 5. I urge the people of Eaton county to look at their dog shelter, where a number of dogs have frozen to death. Then they should call their su­ pervisor and make him explain the above without a lot of excuses. Also ask him why land was ob­ tained for the shelter last fall, but nothing has been done since. 6. Would you like your pet to be picked up and taken to our old shelter, where it could easily catch distemper and die or freeze? W inter is hanging on by the teeth, but at least some folks are thinking of spring. In Vermontville most of the trees have been tap­ ped and the buckets hung. I'm sure there is no sap at this time, but they will be ready when it does come. In Nashville we are in the process of installing a new conversion burner to boil the sap. The burner consists of five big gas jets, operated on natural gas which will take the place of endless cords of wood and many hours of hard labor firing the evaporator. The conversion should be comple­ ted by now (all they were waiting for Monday was one part to finish the job) and we should be all set to boil as soon as the sap starts to flow. Over in Vermontville they have set up the first meeting of the Festival Committees and have start­ ed to make plans for that big day. So it looks as if someone expects spring. I hope they are right I hope it does come. My sister and brother-in-law went on an extended trip of South America, and for three months were in the summer of the year while we were going through the cold winter, They were to take a boat from Rio back to New Orleans and were all ready to board the ship when they decided that they should go swim­ ming at least once before taking off for the north again. So they went to Copacabana Beach to take a dip before departing. Aileen left her glasses on because she didn't intend going in very far, and was certain­ ly not going to get her head wet. That is what she A nig wave came along and knocked her head over heels, and when she came up sputtering, the glasses were gone. They made signs to the kids on the beach trying to tell they what they were looking for. They made rings around their eyes with their fingers while they tried to explain. With just four hours to go before the boat left, ~~ they went to an optometrist's office and tried to ex­ plain to him what the problem was. He spoke only Portuguese and they only English but he finally got the idea. He tested her eyes in Portuguese and she . answered in English, but they did get the new set of glasses in time to make the boat. , V Funeral services were hel l Saturday, March 4 from the Lehman Funeral Home in Bellevue for Ear] M.

X- ■<»» -• Dear Sir; We realize our paper doesn't have a "Action Line Section" but we are in hopes some action can be gotten by writing you this line. Our "gripe" if it can be called that is the ques­ tion of parking. Nashville is our town. We shop here, we pay taxes here and my wife works here. Now then why do some people nave the privilege of parking 8 hrs. on Main Street after receiving a . warning ticket while others are forced to park at least one block off Main Street? We realize we must have laws but we were under the impression they were made for everyone. Is it a case of not "what you know but who you know"? Our car was ticketed for parking half a block off Main Street in a 2 hour zone. This was a warning along with instructions that the car would have to be at least one full block from Main Street or the next ticket Would be for sure. Now at the same time we received the warning ticket so did other . . individuals continue to park 8 hrs. on Main Street and nothing has been dpne so far. Why? Are they ' and some of the others special or vchat? Maybe I am wrong for feeling this way but Should there be "specials” in our town. Either enforce it for all or pull down the signs. What do you think? If this note shows a tint of hard feelings it should because we feel that way. Thank you for your time of reading this.

The hill, termed "far worse than anything Dodd ever dreamed of," contains a preamble which claims that gum (not people) are the cause of crime. Juvenile delinquency, etc. Among other things, the LBJ Guo Bill would: Forbid the purchase of any type of firearms by . mail ' Forbid the purchase of any pistol except in the state of residence Allow "over the counter" purchase of rifles and shotguns. However, the Secretary of the Treasury would be given dictatorial powers to regulate gun sales or Ownership as he sees fit. Since the Treas' ury Secretary serves at the pleasure of the President of the United States, it would give President John­ son full control of every type of firearm. In so doing, it would over-ride the Constitution of the United States! • > 6th grades will be held Friday March 10 at the Kel­ logg School in Nashville.

Committees listed for Maple Syrup Festival The Vermontville Firemen met with the Vermont­ ville township supervisor, Gerald Siple, Monday evening for the purpose of discussing the establish­ ment of an emergency ambulance. The firemen have been handling such runs in the past, but some phases must be revamped. The suggestions made at this meeting will be taken to the township hoard for approval, and after the plans are worked out there will undoubtedly be a 90-day trial of the new plan. The firemen would prefer to further, their first aid courses if they continue to make the emer­ gency runs, and they stressed the fact that they would handle only the most urgent calls. The firemen cleared approximately $240 at their recent dance. No decision has been made as to the equipment they will purchase with the money. There was some discussion of another summer fire schooL This too will be cleared through the township board. Coaches attend meeting Burr Hartenburg and Bill Little will head up the Pancake and Wood Chopping Contests. Mis. Mildred Martin and Olive Cory are the mem bership committee. Mary Malcuit will be in charge of exhibits. The dance committee is composed of Leo Malcuit, Vernon Trowbridge and Jim Wion. The Clean-up committee is headed by Bob Shaw. The Expressway League athletic association met in Middleville Monday evening. Attending the session from the Maple Valley schools were coaches Jim Wynes, Bill Gibbs and Ralph Kirk.

They sailed to William Penn’s Philadelphia and from there they spread fanwise through the rolling foothills and fertile valleys of Pennsylvania. Religion is still a guiding force in this part of the country, noticeable not so much in the Gay Dutch, who look and behave much like everyone else, but in the Plain People—the Mennonites, Amish, Dunkers and River Brethren—who cling to their austere customs, sober dress and simple farm life. Their farmers markets are something! In this age of modem packaging and transportation you would be entranced by the stalls of vegetables, herbs, flower bouquets, homemade preserves and pickles, homemade bread and smoked meats — all exuding with the flavor and freshness of just being picked or prepared within days. Here are a few of their fine old recipes which will show you why their regional cookery is sec­ ond to none. O SHOO-FLY PIE - .

In addition to its contribution to flavor and color, the egg when used in combination with other ingredients, clarifies soups and coffee,- leavens cakes, omelets, meringues, and frostings; emulsifies sauces, ice creams, and mayonnaise; thickens soups, fillings, and custards; binds meat loaves, croquettes, and cookies; and is responsible for crisp brown crusts on fried foods.

The Mackinaw Valley News of Minier, 111., laments that when a child is born the physician gets $100 or so while the editor of the local paper gives the loud-mouthed baby and the happy parents a journalistic sendoff and gets $0. At the christening, the minister gets $10 and the editor gets $0. When the child grows up and marries, the editor publishes another long-winded article and tells a dozen lies about the beautiful and accomplished bride. The minister gets $20 and the editor $0. y . , At the time of death, the doctor gets from $100 to $???, the undertaker gets $500 to $1,500, and the editor publishes a death notice and obituary and gets $0.

Ptatt writ* ftr ay fret hrfwasti** �by Betty Curran he development of leaner pork from meat-type hogs, through breeding and feeding by producer and closer trimming of fat by meat packers and retailers, means more edi­ ble pork per pound to the homemaker today. A serving of cooked pork supplies not only a generous amount of high quality protein, needed for growth, maintenance and repair of body tissues; but substantial levels of all the B vitamins. Fresh pork includes loin, picnic shoulders, boston butt, leg, steaks, chops, and sausage. Recent research on rib and loin pork roasts has shown that roasting fresh pork to an internal temperature of only 170°F. (shown on meat thermometer) makes it juicier and less­ ens cooking time and shrinkage. The new internal temperature, while 15 degrees lower than previously recommended, is still at least 30°F. above the temperature required to render rib or loin pork roast safe for eating. However, these findings are not directly appli­ cable to other cuts of pork. Whether you choose to roast, braise, boil, or broil fresh pork in the following recipes, you'll have delicious results. T PORK CHOP 'N APPLE CASSEROLE 4 lean loin pork chops (trim partially if fat is excessive) salt 1 tablespoon shortening 4 cups sliced tart cooking 94 cup raisins 1 teaspoon grated lemon 94 cup dark molasses 94 cup water Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle pork chops with salt; saute in shortening-until brown. Mix together apples, raisins and lemon rind and place in 2 quart greased baking dish. Combine molasses and water; pour over apple mixture. Top with browned pork chops. Co-.-er and bake 1 hour. Remove cover and bake 94 hour more. Yield: 4 servings. . THREE WAY PORK SHOULDER ROAST Be economy minded. Select a large pork shoulder roast (about 6 pounds). Ask the butcher to cut off four pork steaks. Have a good-sized chunk cut off the other end—about 194 pounds to cube for chop suey. Have the meat man weigh the remaining roast so you can accurately figure cooking time. Pork Shoulder Steaks To braise, brown the steaks in a little hot fat, then add a little liquid and cover. Cook over low heat 45 minutes or until steaks are tender. Suitable braising liquids are water, bouillon, or fruit juice. If the liquid cooks away add more, a small amount at a time. Chop Suey Z94 pounds diced pork ' 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup sliced mushrooms IVs cups bouillon or (optional) water 3 tablespoons 4 tablespoons corn­ shortening starch 1 cup sliced onions 3 tablespoons soy sauce 794 cups sliced celery 1 can bean sprouts, 1 teaspoon ginger drained Cook pork and mushrooms in hot shortening until lightly browned. Add onions, celery, seasonings and bouillon; cover and cook until tender, about 30 min­ utes. Thicken with cornstarch mixed to a paste with a little water. Add soy sauce and bean sprouts and cook slowly for 15 minutes. Season to taste and serve on hot rice or fried noodles. 6 servings. Pork Shoulder Roast Season with salt and pepper and roast uncovered in a 35O°F. oven 50 minutes per pound. SPARERIBS - CHERRY RICE STUFFING 4 pounds spareribs 1 teaspoon salt ' " H,teaspoon pepper 1 can (16 ounces) red, tart pitted cherries, drained 2 cups cooked rice Vs cup finely chopped celery 94 teaspoon salt 94 cup brown sugar, packed 1 egg, beaten 94 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 94 cup cherry juice Cut spareribs into pieces of approximately 2 ribs each. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix to­ gether cherries, rice, celery, 94 teaspoon salt, sugar and egg. Spread one half of the sparerib pieces with stuffing, using about 94 cup for each. Cover with the remaining sparerib pieces, turning rib ends down. Place spareribs on a rack in an open roasting pan and roast in a moderate oven (350°F.) 194 hours. Mix together sugar and cornstarch. Add cherry juice and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear. Spoon half the cherry glaze over the spareribs and continue cooking 15 minutes. Add the re­ maining glaze and cook for another 15 minutes or until meat is done and glaze is set. 6-8 servings.

And even though bacteria and viruses are the pathological cause of these costly outbreaks, the real- culprit is often the “cloud of confusion” surrounding the scours complex, say animal health experts. “Many producers believe scours is a single disease for which there should be an effective means of control. This is far from true. Different forms of diarrhea or scours rpay look alike, but there are many causes, both known and un­ known. And the often over-looked fact is that treatment must vary with the disease." That’s how a Nebraska veterinary scientist sums up the scours picture. Over the years, many labels and symptoms have been tagged onto bacterially caused scours. The following names are the ones most often referred to by researchers. Swine Scours, or Dysentery. A highly fatal inflammation of the large intestine. Bloody diarrhea is the leading symptom. Infection can spread from one animal and throughout the herd within a week. Diarrhea shows up about the sixth day and blood a day or two later. Some pigs die sud­ denly, while others linger two weeks or more. Those that recover are usually unthrifty. Calf Scours. Once the bacteria get into a bam, calf scours will attack nearly ail new-born calves. • Animals become dull and weak, have sunken eyes, breathe fast, and have low temperatures. In chronic cases, calves lose weight, become pot-bellied and die within a few weeks. Infection usually occurs from nursing an infected udder or sucking contaminated objects in the bam or yard. Winter Dysentery. This disease usually occurs among stabled cattle between December and March. The disease is usu­ ally mild and rarely causes death. Yet, milk production slips drastically in some cases, and cows go out of condition. A few herds in a neighborhood are usually hit first. Then winter dysentery spreads quickly throughout the area. Microbes often hitchhike a ride on shoes and clothing from one farm to another. Primary symptom is a watery diarrhea, usually brown or black. In severe cases, the diarrhea may be tinged with blood. Temperatures may go as high as 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Scouring often stops by the end of the third day and the disease usually clears up in three days to a week. Coccidiosis. One-celled coccidia organism attacks are widespread among farm animals; only horses are immune. As a rule, coccidia are specific — those attacking cattle won’t strike pigs, and vice versa. -■ Outbreaks frequently hit harder where livestock are crowded together. . Overcrowding cuts doyn an.ijnals’ resistance and makes them susceptible to the coccidia. Bloody diarrhea, anemia, loss of weight and general weakness are most common symptoms. Ani­ mals appear constipated and feces are stringy and covered with mucous. A non-fatal form of coccidiosis, sometimes mistaken for calf scours, often hits during the second month of life. . Transmissible Gastro-Enteritis is a severe, watery diarrhea. TGE has knocked out 300 to 400 pigs on a single farm. Wisconsin scientists say farmers can expect severe losses in pigs born I i less than a week before an outbreak and less than a week after TGE hits. Infectious Virus Diarrhea: Similar to TGE, this virus was first discovered in southeast Iowa several years ago, and has now been found in most midwest states. Although somewhat less deadly, the disease closely resembles TGE. Generally, symptoms of TGE and infectious virus diarrhea are these: Watery diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration, with greatest death loss in baby pigs. Control methods are also the same: Proper disposal of dead pigs, isolation pf infected animals, good sanitation and controlled traffic on the farm and in hog lots, say Purdue Universityjesearchers, the first to recognize TGE. Major difference seen so far between the two look-alike diseases is that little immunity is produced in swine after recov­ ering from infectious virus diarrhea. TGE infected hogs are usually immune to any future outbreak. Also, . ' older hogs appear to be more severely affected by the new virus. Preventing Scours in the Swine Herd 1. Introduce only known healthy animals to the herd. Healthy-appearing pigs carrying harmful disease germs can introduce disaster into a healthy herd. 2. Separate pigs by age. Young pigs can become fatally sick from bac­ teria and viruses not affecting older pigs. House feeder pigs away from the farrowing house. * 3. Rest farrowing houses at least a week between farrowings. Viruses live in a dormant state outside the animal’s body. One infected pig in the barn serves as a burning ember to ignite a new fire. . 4. Attempt to group farrowings in one barn within a few days. This avoids a germ buildup. Since infections are progressive, starting with ' one pig or a few pigs, bacteria and viruses multiply to infect other pigs. Newborn pigs farrowed later into a barn full of sick pigs may be over­ whelmed by the large number of germs present. 5. Be sure all newborn pigs get immunity-producing first milk (colos­ trum). In large litters, smaller pigs may be continually bullied aside. Help these pigs get at least one good nursing of first milk. The pig get­ ting no milk may be the one starting the chain reaction of diarrhea. Prevention in the Dairy Barn 1. Dry off newborn calves, then paint navels with tincture of iodine. Wash the cow’s udder with a milk chlorine solution to kill bacteria. Be sure calves nurse within an hour. Calves usually won’t be strong enough to overeat for 12 hours. 2. Make certain calves get colostrum for one to three days. Teach them to drink from a bucket during the first day. 3. Carefully regulate feeding after the first 12 hours. Overeating causes indigestion, which in turn lowers resistance and leads to scours. 4. Feed normal-sized calves twice a day, but small or weak calves three times a day for the first week. Keep utensils dean. Dirty equipment is one of the leading causes of scouring and calf losses. 5. Keep only one calf in a pen until at least a week after weaning. Al­ low a minimum of 24 square feet of space.-If calves are raised together in one pen, they should be within two months of the same age. Each calf should have at least 80 square feet of space. 6. Use solid partitions between individual calf pens to reduce drafts. 7. Keep temperature as uniform as possible and keep pens and bedding dry. 8. Provide proper ventilation. Calves can stand fresh air better than the warm, stale, humid conditions existing in shut-up barns. 9. Clean pens with soap and water and t disinfect them to ♦- a �how AMI BEN can help you avoid a shattering experience: (And other harvesting losses.) A weedy field of ripe beans means trouble. You lose when you have to hit the bean stalks too hard with the combine reel because of big weeds or grass. You lose if you wait for the weeds to brown and the moisture level of the beans drops. (4 to 5 bushels per acre can end up on the ground.) You lose when your combine harvests so many tough weeds, that beans ride over the screen with the trash and back on the field. Enough about what you can lose. With Amiben weed and grass control you WIN. More beans produced — more beans harvested. Enough more to pay for Amiben many times over. Better beans — more beans in the hopper instead of on the ground, and you get more for them. That's the Amiben story. You get control of more weeds and grasses than with any other soybean herbicide. Dependable, full season control. You’ll never know how high your soybean yields can go until you use Amiben. �YUGOSLAVIAN PAVILION AUSTRALIAN PAVILION BRITISH PAVILION UNITED NATIONS PAVILION CANADIAN RAILWAYS PAVILION. FRENCH CANADIAN VILLAGE MEXICAN PAVILION expo 67 HEART OF EXPO 67 Gigantic Birthday Party Opens Next Month orth America’s biggest and fanciest birthday party is taking shape in Montreal, Canada just 40 miles north of the United States border and it is taking shape on two islands and a penin­ , sula in the St. Lawrence River. They call it Expo 67 and it is nothing but one of the grandest frostings and one of the biggest cakes and it is celebrating Can­ ada’s 100th anniversary as a Confederation. Expo 67 Centennial Exposition will last for six months—beginning April 28,1967 and ending October 27, 1967. It will stack up as the greatest short term tourist migration ever recorded. Like most other world expositions, Expo 67 will carry a theme which will test the ingenuity and stimulate the intelligence of the participants. The pavilions and special events of Expo 67 will portray "Man and His World." The theme will be expressed through five major subthemes depicting man as explorer, creator, provider, producer and a member of the community. Reaffirming its long standing friendship with Canada, the United States is building one of the largest and most eye catching pavilions as a result of a $9,300,000 appropriation by. Congress. The communist world will be represented by the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Cuba. American visitors are sure to be impressed by the United States Government’s bid to steal the Expo 67 show. The United States pavilion will be the tallest on the grounds—a 20-story alu­ minum framed plastic bubble. The exhibit will portray “Creative America." The Soviet Union is mounting a formidable challenge to the & United States pavilion. Moscow has disclosed plans to erect a pavilion topped by a cantilevered roof. It will cost some $15 million. Britain, France, Italy, Australia, West Germany, Japan, Israel, Brazil, India, Mexico all are preparing elaborate pavilions. At Afri­ ca Place, 22 nations of that continent will demonstrate how they are striving and striding into the modem era. The five Scandinavian countries are joining hands in the pa­ vilion which will show the finest in design and culture. The na­ tions of the Arab League are sponsoring a cooperative pavilion and the Latin American nations will jointly host the exciting Plaza 'de las Americas. Even the site of Expo 67 is exciting — concentrated on two largely man made islands in the St Lawrence river, it is a scant few minutes from downtown Montreal (Canada’s liveliest c ty and <*>... the second largest french speaking city in the world). N Those who attended the New York World’s Fair will remember the long lines in front of the pavilions. Well, officials at Expo 67 are determined to make standing in line an entertaining experi­ ence. Visitors waiting in line at pavilions will be entertained by troubador units; singers, dancers, skaters, clowns and magicians. Four such troops will tour the grounds constantly as wiH a march­ ing band. - ' . To stress the interrjational flavor of Expo 67, visitors will be issued tickets in the form of "passports” that closely resemble the genuine article. The purchase of a “passport” will entitle the visior to the Expo 67 grounds with free admission into the national and theme pavilions and unlimited rides oh the air conditoned Expo Express circulating throughout the site. Gate admission prices are $2.50 for one day passport; Vi price for children aged 2 to 12; $12.00 for a 7-day passport; $35.00 for a season passport. These passports are already on sale at numerous banks, depart­ ment stores, etc. in the United States. Americans are sure to draw comparisons between the Mon­ treal Expo 67 and the recent New York World’s Fair. Actually the two have little in common. New York’s Fair had no official sanc­ tion by the Bureau of International Expositions so only 24 foreign countries took part. Expo 67 will have three times as many par­ ticipants from abroad. Expo 67’s 1,000 acre site is more than 50% larger than the New York Fair site in Flushing Meadow, yet easily traveled by Expo Express, which will be free to all visitors. Expo 67 will shut down permanently after six months while New York’s event spanned into two seasons. Sponsorship makes another ma­ jor difference in the two. The New York event was a private under­ taking while Expo 67 is sponsored by the governments of Quebec and the city of Montreal. It is not planned as a profit making en­ terprise. Expo 67 won’t make a nickel. In fact, it will probably close its books with a deficit of $80 million or more. See you in Canada at Expo 671!

They heard some startling news on corn and soy­ bean production. And, they got a look ahead peek at what to expect in the future with these two crops: Planting techniques; new field equipment on the market, and just how important a factor the weather is if the farmer utilizes prop­ er fertilization, insect control, and weed control. r A Visit with J, W. Ralph Bishop, Tipton, Indiana Layton Burns and Clarence Freese of Gilman, Iowa, had an exciting and interesting experi­ ence with 20-inch row com last season. In spite of adverse weather they were able to top their best previous average by more than 20 bushels per acre, because of the better soil moisture conserving ability of narrow rows. “You can't put a $5,000 boar in a dirty pen and expect to reap the harvest.** 'Sanitation, feeding, breeding, management—they all work hand-in-hand.” “TNT gives us the added benefits ' from ' the ' feed ' we need to avoid problems.** National Soybean Yield champ, John Reiser, says there's no hocus-pocus to producing 82- bushel bean yields. "Just be on time with the right combination of ingredients," he says. “We run a tight operation ...hut we’d have problems without TNT” C. W. "Skip" Hammond, Nebraska City, Ne­ braska, switched to narrow row com last year Ralph Bishop has been raising champion­ ship Hampshire breeding stock since 1930. Here’s why he uses TNT . . . even though he doesn’t have major health problems: “We’re always going to have certain bugs around. They can affect growth. And if pigs weigh 15 pounds when they should be weighing 30, they’ll never make it up. They’re money losers. “We’re strict on sanitation. But if we’re going to get the terrific kind of growth we expect today, we’ve got to have added bene­ fits from the feed. “TNT in the feed gives us those benefits. I’m highly pleased with the results. I don’t think I could afford to go without it. “Sure, I’d rec­ ommend TNT. Truth of the mat­ ter, I already have ... to a party who was having prob­ lems. I highly rec­ ommended TNT to him.” TNT.

Y. 10017 Crawfordsville, Indiana last year. �For those farmers not living in an area dose to one of the Corn-Soybean Clinic locations, Farm and Home Sec­ tion will attempt to give a capsule re­ port, realizing (of course) that noth­ ing—especially not a magazine arti­ cle—could ever replace the knowledge transmitted by the agricultural ex­ perts who appeared at the day long clinic sessions. Here, then, are some excerpts of what was said at the Clin­ ics and a few case histories of farm­ ers who had attended Farm Shows Clinics in other years and then tried _ Jto put to use the practices which were suggested. Narrow Corn Row Survives Weather Test in Iowa The weather around Central Iowa wasn’t the best for corn this year. But even with a severe weather hardship, Layton Burns and his son-in-law Clarence Freese of Gilman, Iowa, managed to harvest 130 bushels per acre from 325 acres of corn. < “We didn’t get the yield we had fig­ ured on because of weather and wind but we’re real happy,” says Burns. Then he continued, “Too, the ear size was smaller than it should have been because we had a higher population than we had planned on. However, the 20-inch row corn has a decisive advantage because it conserves the moisture quite a bit better. We also used chemicals to control weeds and didn’t cultivate at all '.. which also helps to conserve our soil moisture.” Burns and Freese feel that 20-inch .. row com is the coming thing, and it isn’t far off.” National Soybean Champion Appeared at 25 Clinics John Reiser, Cass county, Illinois, who set a national soybean produc­ tion record of 82.7 bushels per acre in 1965 appeared at 25 of the ComSoybean Clinics this winter. He told how he produced soybean yields more than double the national -average. Reiser is the first to admit that there is no hocus-pocus to grow­ ing 80-bushel soybeans. “It takes good land, plenty of fertilizer, weed control, early planting, a high-yielding’variety and a good shake from the weatherman,” he says. “I found that soybeans don’t suffer a bit under a continuous cropping program, but you have to build up the ground to keep yields up.” Nebraskan Makes $U0 More Per Acre “I think we’ll eventually have broadcast corn, and harvest it with a regular reel-type combine head,” says *C. W. “Skip” Hammond, Nebraska City, Nebraska. Hammond is one of several hundred farmers who switched to 20-inch corn rows in 1966, and whose experiences formed the basis of a comprehensive narrow row report at the 1967 Com-Soybean Clinics. For a year that was far from ideal weather-wise, Hammond’s 20-inch com came through in great shape. “We had folks come out and look at our crop late in the season, see those smaller than average ears and tell us the crop was a bust Well sir,” said Hammond, “what they were looking at turned out to be a yielder of 177 bushels of 16% moisture com.” Hammond’s ’66 crop grossed about $193 per acre figuring $1.25 com. His expenses were $97 per acre, leav­ ing the operation with a net profit of about $96 per acre. Says Hammond, “I would imagine we increased our income $35-40 per acre by planting our com in 20-inch rows.” Clyde Hight, Corn Yield Holder Was Clinic Crowd Pleaser Clyde Hight, Moweaqua, Illinois, com-growing sensation, spoke at a number of the 1967 Corn-Soybean Clinics. Hight is the farmer who shat­ tered all previous com yield records in 19Q5 and even did well under ex­ tremely unfavorable conditions in 1966. Farmers Winning The Bug Battle Each year insects cost corn and soybean producers hundreds of thou­ sands of dollars in lost profits. The American Indians had a saying when they grew com: “One for the bug, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow.” Many farmers still sit back and accept this insect loss to their crops. Today’s top profit fanners apply a soil insect “insurance plan.’’ The cost? Less than $3 per acre. The re­ turn? An average of an extra 10 bushels per acre. And, when soil in­ sect damage is severe, it can mean a difference of 30 to 40 bushels per acre, or saving an entire crop which would otherwise be lost Narrow Row Corn Gives 25% Increase In Drought Area Drought was precisely the story on David Brewer’s Indiana farm last season. A total of only two inches of rain fell from the time the com was planted until it was harvested. Yet, his 20-inch corn rows came through with 100 bushel yields, 25 bushels more than most of the 40-inch corn in his area. His story is but one of several testimonials to modem farming methods that were docu­ mented this past season and were pre­ sented as part of the Com-Soybean Clinics. The preceding year was an ideal year for com. Brewer had one of the best crops ever. He harvested 140 bushels per acre in 38-inch rows, and was waiting for the opportunity to increase yields by going to narrow rows. Last spring he made the big move and bought a new 20-inch 12row planter. Brewer’s brother-in-law, Warren Davidson, farms adjoining acreage and made the switch to nar­ row rows at the same time—sharing use of the new equipment “We found a lot of things we like about narrow rows,” the pair says. “One is the way the 8-row com head picks up downed com. It was really amazing how much more corn we saved,” they continued. Brewer and Davidson make no apologies for this year’s “less than expected crop.” They figure 20-inch rows still gave them a 25% increase in yield over 40-inch rows, even in a near-brought year. They figure also to be able to utilize nutrients applied that weren’t used last year. There’s no doubt about varieties Higher yields, bigger profits, proved year after year by farmers all across the country The remarkable yield power of DeKalb XL Corn Varieties is shown again in 1966 reports from farmers entered in the DeKalb 200-Bushel Club program. The authenticated yields below were mechanically harvested, without gleaning, from carefully measured acreages. All checks were veri­ fied by responsible witnesses, and yields* were figured in bushels of No. 2 com per acre. Plant your next com crop to DeKalb XL Single­ Cross and 3-Way Hybrids.

We also saw a robin the same day. He took this to mean that spring had come to o u r area at long last. I hated to tell Shorty, but I think the robin is one of those idiot type robins who doesn't know enough to fly south in the winter. The woodchuck probably had insomnia and couldn't sleep. Despite running of the sap, the arrival of the robins, the awak­ ening of the woodchuck, we could still have a bit of winter weather. I hope we don't though.

Gladys and Ralph Richardson came back a week or so ago. Gladys had a cold, and Ralph was bush­ ed from driving over the icy roads. They said that one morning down there in the sunny south, the water froze up. That didn't even happen to us up here. Isabelle and Bob Pfaff came back last week end. They played it smart and went way down in the Keys where it stayed fairly warm. babelie said they played golf every day. In all fairness though. I should let you know, Isabelle would play golf in zero weather if she could find anyone to go along with her. St. Pat's day is on the way again and it brings to mind those wonderful good old days. Back i n those days, our whole neighborhood celebrated St. Patrick's Day with wearing of green and the sing­ ing of Irish songs. This despite the fact that the nniv Irish Irish C'arlmlir^ an isolated family of only Catholics were an Kennedys. Mn. Kennedy, the true soul of Irish wit, if not Irish tact, once said to my mother, "Mis. Boughton, ain't it a shame that all of your children look like your husband? Dear sir; During the week of March 12-18, the 6000 Girl Scouts of the Giowine Embers Girl Scout Council, are celebrating the 53th birthday of Girl Scouting in the United States of America. During these 55 years. Girl Scout program and uniforms have changed to keep up with the times, but the Girl Scouts' Promise to" ... do my duty to God add my country, to help other people at all times, and to obey the Girl Scout Laws," is as fresh and vital today as it was 55 years ago. As President of the Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 1100 volunteer men and women who have helped to make Giri Scouting possible for girls in this area. Because of their leadership, the girls of today will be better prepared to assume their responsibil­ ity for the future. What could be more worth Sincerely, Elizabeth Harper Mrs. Malcolm Harper, pres. Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council The following article from Buzz Youngs column. Armchair Athlete of the Hastings Banner will be of interest to many of our readers. Remember Ken Beardsley of Vermontville who set a State prep strikeout record of 209 in 11, seven inning games in 1947? Ken is now considered one of the ablest pitching coaches in baseball by the Pitts­ burgh Baseball Club, with which he has been associ­ ated since 1960. . He vovers Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ontario for the Pirates, and his duties also include running several tryout camps each year in Michigan. He also works with pitchers the Pirates are interested in. Ken scouts all college and as many high school games as possible, and covers tournaments. Ken has 21 boys in the organization, including Roger Hayward from Pontiac Northern. While In high school Ken struck out 25 batters a­ gainst Holt in 1949. This was a 10-inning contest. He pitched eight, no-hit games while in nigh school at Vermontville in three seasons. His' career record for strikeouts is 340 in 18, seven-inning games. We especially remember Vermontville playing against Middleville in 1947 when he struck out 25 batters. Ken tripled in the 11th and scored when Sledge drove him home. Only Corrigan and Richardson reached first base for Middleville. The win gave ’ Vermontville the Eaton-Barry-Ionia title in tne game played at the fair ' In ,pro ball,. Ken won lost but nine his last two years in pro baseball. He was only 23 when he was injured while with the New York Yankee's farm club, Richmond, Va., of the AAA International League. He still holds several minor league Strike­ out records, according to his scouting supervisor. Jim Maxwell Junior Clatt Play ‘Shy Guy’ March IB -17 JR. - SR.

' Within the village of Vermontville there are ap­ proximately 800 trees tapped for the corporation and the first syrup was made over the week end. Wilbur Baker is handling the boiling this year. Sap from another 1, 000 trees will be processed by the syrup corporation. . The Happy Land Rides will again be set up/and featured as the main stage attraction for the big day will be the Todds who have appeared on the Ed. Sullivan snow. Their program includes Ara­ bian tumbling acts, Russian dancing, impressions, singing and patter. They will be seen both morning and afternoon. A long list of amateur and sem i professional acts will also be presented during the day-long program. The maple syrup season has started for many pro­ ducers while others haven't started tapping trees yet. While the producers may vary on their opin­ ion of when to start upping trees, they do agree on one thing. Help this year is very hard to come by, and this will hamper some farmers consider­ ably on the number of trees they tap. In some years, according to the producers, they have started making syrup as early as February 24, or even before. They also recall that one year they tutted as late as April 3, and still had a good year. THE NASHVILLE NEWS was not enough interest shown to start the project, but this year was a far different'cry. There are, happily, many volunteers who are ready and will­ ing roll up their sleeves and go to work. ■ Five new jet gas burners have been installed and the first boiling started Monday evening. All of the work from tapping the trees, gather­ ing the sap and processing the syrup is on a volun­ teer basis. Then, at the end of the season, and expenses are paid, along with a thousand dollars which is to be banked toward next year, the mon­ ey will be divided. The organizations benefiting ‘ from the project will be the youth from the Meth­ odist, Evangelical United Brethren and Baptist churches, the Band Boosters, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Brownies, the Future Homemakers As­ sociation, the Future Farmers Association and the Nashville Volunteer firemen. Each person who works will designate the organi­ zation he wants his hours credited toward, and a record will be made The organizations will re­ ceive checks according to the hours credited them. In addition to the nearly 1, 300 trees tapped with­ in the village, five farmers will bring in sap for processing on a percentage basis. The Nashville Maple syrup association is headed by Harold Christiansen as president. The vice pres­ ident is Mrs. Valeria Tonkin; treasurer, FrankScramlin, and directors are Fred Ackett and James Rizor, village president. . As soon as possible a new chimney is to be con­ structed at the municipal sugar shanty located in Putnam park, two tanks willbe painted, and next year it is planned to install an automatic take-off. Visitors are welcome at the "shanty" any time it is in operation, where each visitor will be given a drink of hot syrup, and a tour of the building. The Future Homemakers of America will be making sugar and candy at the shanty each week­ end during the season. The Boy Scouts will be picking up the sap while the firemen supervise and do the driving. Vermontville syrup producers tapping Among the maple syrup producers in the Ver­ montville area who attended the meeting of t h e Maple Syrup Festival corporation Thursday night several of them reported they had already tapped their trees and planned to boil over the week end. Karl Gearhart, one of the biggest in the syrup industry, started tapping 3, 400 trees trees two weeks ago. They gathered sap for the first time Friday and planned to boil Saturday. Another pro­ ducer who expected to gather Friday was Ames Haight who has over 900 trees tapped. Wesley Curtis upped 1,180 trees but reported Thursday evening that the sap had not started to run yet Leo Malcuit who ups about 1, 400 trees had not collected, nor had Willard Hubka who ups about 700 trees. Mrs. Olive Corey who tapped . 1,850 trees and Archie Martin wbo already has 1,250 trees upped and will probably add to this number, had not collected as of Thursday evening. Two other big producers, Gerald Lundstrum who ups 1,200 trees each year, and Carl Thrun who has an extensive sugar bush, had not started up­ ping. MAPLE VALLEY NEWS.

I had an idea that back in those days, the folks were fairly conservative but 1 think I was wrong. Many of the great men of the day had long hair.

In looking at these pictures 1 am impressed by the individuality shown by those old jokers.

On March 10, 1967 I was traveling through your community. My truck broke down and was block­ ing the roadway. 1 wish to take this opportunity to thank the mem­ bers of your Fite Department for the assistance they gave while my trailer was being repaired. The use of the facilities for lights and directing traffic greatly reduced the chances for some one getting injured.

The Nashville Lions Club has started a speaker's bureau in a way. A while back we suited having lo­ cal members talk to the group rather than bringing in speakers from the outside. The idea seems to have taken hold and the program chairmen have been providing their own entertainment. The men have been sharing information they have with the other members of the group. Nelson Brumm talked about bee* and the science of bee-keeping. George Vogt gave a very interest­ ing talk on funeral* and the various phases of b is business. I talked about photography. ■ People all teem to assume that everyone knows all they wish to know about others line* of endeav­ or. This is not the case. Everyone in the group is interested in bow something is done, or why. The Lions have found that they have a wnole group of interesting speakers. It is good to see the Diner open again. Betty Garvey is going to manage the place in the morn­ ing and Harold Christiansen will take over in the afternoon*. Betty say* they are getting into the swing of things but the place will never be the same without Marie.

In the first place, our second class mailing per­ mit is issued to us by the government with the a­ greement that we mail oruy to people who have paid-in-advance subscriptions. In order to qualify for this permit we mu*t keep our lists up to date. In the second place, we don't want to be tend­ ing the paper to someone who really doesn't want it. To send it to someone who does not want it is an intrusion. We don't want to force ourselves up­ on anyone. \ , Third, the money come* in handy. The price of the subscriptions just about coven the cost of the paper and Ink. Ray Hawkins will be glad to accept renewals or new subscriptions and process them tor you.

March 19-25, is one of importance to every one of us. It is National Wildlife Week. "This Is Your Land, " is the theme of this year's observance, during which aU of us are reminded of the local, state and federal public lands which are ours to own and enjoy. We here in Michigan are particularly well en­ dowed with public lands. Our many thousands of acres of state and federal forest lands are scattered throughout Michigan and are a solid base for the hunting, fishing, camping and other outdoor recre­ ation so important to us. ‘' In addition to these lands, we have equal owner­ ship with every other man, woman and child in every other state, to the millions of acres of nation­ al parks and forests throughout the United States. Though we may never visit Grand Canyon, Yosem­ ite and all of the other national parks and monu­ ments, it gives us a feeling of well-being to know these places will always be there for our enjoyment or of those who will follow us. We have, indeed, a debt which we can never fully repay, to those far-sighted individuals who saw to it that at least a bit of unspoiled America has ’ been Mved for future generations. It is now our re­ sponsibility to see that our children and their child­ ren will always have the Mme opportunities to en­ joy these public lands that we have. This may not be easy. We have almost reached the end of the road in the matter of putting very much more privately-owned land into public owner­ ship. Prices are becoming prohibitive. At the Mme time, there are continuing pressures to get rid of some of these public lands in order to get them back onto the tax rolls. Those who seek mis short-sighted solution would very much like to have us forget that most of our public lands in Michigan, for example, were once stripped of all usefulness and abandoned. This is why they came into public ownership. Now the scan have been healed by time and most of these once-ugly lands are spots of beauty again. With careful management they can remain so for years to come. The National Wildlife Federation and its state affiliate, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, are calling upon all Michigan citizens to pause duriiK National Wildlife Week and give some thought to the stake you have in our outdoor future through your ownership in these public lands. This is your land—and don't ever forget it! Wildlife authorities have argued for yean that Michigan, the Wolverine State, has never been the home of the wolverine. They contend that the on­ ly wolverines ever found in Michigan were in the form of fun brought in by Canadian trappen. The authorities are wrong on that one. It was October 8, 1871, about a week before the famed Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin which burned 1, 500 people, pie, that a str; strange animal came splashing across the " Menominee -------- .----------River into Michigan. A 10-year-old lad, George Primo,. was leaning „ on a stick as be stood on a knoll watching the pa”rade of wildlife fleeing ahead of one of many un­ controlled fires in Wisconsin. Even at this early age he was familiar with most forms of wildlife but now he saw one he couldn’t identify. The peculiar animal came ashore, fairly well Now. in This list contains the names of the Maple Val­ ley Junior and Senior High honor roll for the second semester.' t, then ambled up behind a French tr k where the family ' „ imedy. the dog „ and the _ — were battling and apper's wife saw the dog was getting far the it She grabbed a broom and went to the dog's aid. At the Mme time, George came running with his stick to enter the fracas and between them they finally kiUed the creature. Neither, however, was able to identify what it was they had killed. A few days later George went back and the trap­ per, who had returned by then, told him the ani­ mal was a "carajou. * This still meant nothing to him till years later when George entered a M quette barbershop and mw an Identical animal mounted on a shelf. The barber told him it was a wolverine. George Primo, a French trapper and hunter, re­ lated his story to Ford Kellum in 1945 when the two men were neighbors in the little northern Michigan town of Amasa in Iron County. A keen student of nature, Kellum at that time wrote up an elaborate account of Primo's story for his own files. We first read this factual account when KeUum was district game manager at Traverse City. He was later transferred to Gaylord by the Conserva­ tion Department when the Traverse City and Bald­ win district offices were wiped out by ill-advised reorganization efforts. Kellum's fUes also contain one other account of a wolverine once living in Michigan. A M11 waukee newspaper, in its March 20, 1860 edition, reported the trapping of a strange animal caught by a German trapper "at Marquette, near Lake Super­ ior." After reading this account. Dr. William Burt, mammologist at the University of Michigan, de­ clared the animal, trapped February 15, 1860, could have been nothing but a wolverine. Thus, it would appear that despite what other wildlife authorities might My, the wolverine did indeed once live in Michigan, the Wolverine State I SENIORS: Charlotte Foote, AU A’s; Herbert Ames, Julie Cranson, Diana Eldred, Linda Foster, Nancy Gardner.

Now, in order to help you get the I proper zip code for the right place the members of the Maple Valley Band Boosters are selling zip code directories. The directories sell for a dollar, and the profits realized from the sale of these directories will help to buy new uniforms and instruments for the band. Bill Fox tells me that directories can be purchased from any member of the Band Boosters, or from any band member. . ' A buck spent with the Band Boosters might just keep you out of trouble with the government, at least the Post Office Department of the government Jean Graham called to say that her son, Richard Gearhart, sent her a letter from Southern California, LETTERS^" EDITOR^ To Whom It May Concern: This is a letter of protest to the manner in which the law is enforced and/or interpreted in Nashville and Barry County. It seems that people can come in to our town, ride motorcycles up and down the sidewalks of Main street where a child on a bicycle is (correctly) not allowed, tap pedestrians on the head as they pass, noisily disturb the peace, patronize our taverns, and park these bikes in front of the entrance to a stole so that the doors cannot be opened. This is within the law? It also seems that people can come into our town, allegedly drinking, use our Central Park as a toilet, break a glass to enter a locked house where the owners are not at home, ap­ parently snoop through drawers and cupboards, dump articles from that house in the waste basket, set the basket on fire, bun it in the snowbank to "send a flare” to let authorities know where they are, after calling police to let them know they need help. If they say they broke in to call for help because they are in an "emergency situation", then they are m<t breaking the law. It doesn't matter that they h#ve just come from the Main street where places are open. It doesn't matter that the house across the street is lighted and occupied. In any case, people broking for excitement apparently can come here, do almost anything, have the right excuses to satis­ fy the law, and they can get away with whatever they do. However, on the same street, an ordinary local citizen can take a ride on a friend's motorcycle up the highway, and be arrested for not wearing a hel­ met Ignorance of the law is no excuse, but strict, extreme, enforcement of the law, should not be a sometime thing that gets done just when there's a aupienceror when higher authority is looking, or when the mood hits the officer in charge. It seems that breaking into a locked house by drunks with police records (reportedly), and cutting up on Main street by hoods on probation is amusing and requires no action, while an honest mistake calls for an arrest. Sonya Kjergaard _ ’ saying that he would like to have seen some of the snow we had this winter. Richard is in the Navy and is stationed in San Die§o, and the poor fellow has seen no snow there. He id get a copy of the News though, with all the snow pictures in it He said he sure enjoyed seeing the pictures and he missed the snow. I wish 1 could have sent him just a bit of what we had here. The Vermontville Lions Club had a Paul Dennison as the speaker Monday night, and as pan of the pirogram he hypnotized Burr Hartenburg. He did such slick job of it that some there thought it a put-up iob. This man claimed to have programmed Burr to do a better job of investment sales. Spike Briggs suggested that in all fairness, he should then nave programmed all of us in the room to better resist Burr's sales approach. This Mr. Dennison teaches physicians and dentists the technique of hypnosis. He referred to hypnosis as scientific prayer. He explained that hypnosis could help people who want to lose weight, by suggesting they are not hungry. He said a person could even lose weight on­ ly where he or she wanted to. That's going some. The sugaring activities in both villages seem to be going strong. If we don't have a few cold nights though, we are in for a short season. Locals .

A woman's body. Architecturally, quite in­ teresting. To a man. But not to the woman who owns one. Most women tend to ignore their own bodies. Do you? Do you check your body, particularly your breasts, every month, for any lump or thicken­ ing? You should. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere could be a warning signal of cancer. And cancer is easier to cure when it's detected early. Sophia Loren knows the seven warning signals of cancer. So should you: 1. Unusual bleeding or discharge. 2. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere. 3. A sore that does not heal. 4. Change in bowel or bladder hab­ its. 5. Hoarseness or cough. 6. Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing. 7. Change in a wart or mole. If a signal lasts longer than two weeks, see your doctor without delay.

Officials said the inspection of each vehicle would take a maximum of seven minutes.

OF NECESSITY, the new inspection program will be limited by manpower and other considera­ tions. This year an effort is being made to increase the State Police force for more testing or to provide the mandatory type of inspection used in other states. The latter would establish either state-operated or licensed establishments where motorists would be required to have their autos fully inspected and approved regularly, probably annually.

Most of it involved issues prominent on the Mich­ igan political scene, but some national questions as welt Republicans defended the charges in the booklet on the basis that quotations cited were taken out of context to serve the anti-Romney cause. If Romney plays in the championship game in 1968, he is certain to face similar attacks in print while the National Democratic Party capitalizes on the intensive spadework done by this state's labor leaders. POISON PREVENTION MUCH ANGUISH and grief could be avoided if parents lived the full year with Poison Prevention Week in mind. The annually designated week was marked this year in Michigan by the distribution of poison an­ tidote kits at local pharmacies. Along with the kits, many pharmacists offered charts listing what to do in the event a child swallowed a harmful substance. As in 1966, pharmacists were anxious to discuss poison prevention with regard to various common household items, disastrous if improperly used. SPECIAL WEEKS sometimes are just that, but Poison Prevention Week is designed to bring atten­ tion to things otherwise forgotten. A shampoo tube which says "Keep Out of the Reach of Children" means just that! Advice to keep cleaning preparations and drugs in their original containers holds true 52 weeks of the year. The 500 accidental poisoning deaths which occurred in 1966 did not happen in any single week.

Fa>»ce March 11, 1967 Dear Folks, I hope you are all feeling welL I'm still OK The weather here is kinda bad with lots of rain for the last couple of days. It was dry yesterday and looks like it will be today also. The 6th of March we were called into a vil­ lage to help some other men who were fighting there. It was really quite a fight The planes flew in and dumped their bombs. Helicopters were shooting all over the village. We moved in and across a rice pattie. We got to the other side and started moving on line down through ■ some palm trees. It wasn't too long before we received fire. We got down behind some bushes and returned the fire. Our platoon sargent had a bullet whiz by his head. The next time it didn't miss - it caught him right in the head. It seemed every time someone moved, a bullet went over the bushes. I kept real low and tried to help our sargent but it was no use. They pulled back and let the village have it with all we had in artillery and helicopter gun sb ips. The next day we went through and policed the area up. We found two 30 caL machine gunes, and many other weapons and ammo. Our company did a real good job. The enemy dead was 74, ours only 4 which we consider too many. The village was burned and destroyed and the remaining villagen were taken out of the village. While walking through the village we saw at least 3 little children who were killed from the action the day before. A woman and child were severely burned. Dead cows and wounded lay everywhere. There is a man who is writing a story about it and will sell it to anyone who will buy it. I hope it gets in "Time" or some maga­ zine like that. It was a bad day though. I'm still OK and know God brought me through again. Sorry I haven't written lately. I really haven't had much of a chance. That helicopter gunner job is really nice. I think Vernon will like it They really helped us out the other day. It is dangerous sometimes, but they usually are quite safe. It is at least bet­ ter than walking and having a pack on your back. WelL today I'm 22 yean old and feel like I a should be 25 yean old after being away so long. I have about 5 1/2 months to go over here now. I've been put in for Specialist 4 this month. I hope I get it. It means more pay and is as far as the pay goes, the same as corporaL We got us some vests now. They won't stop a bullet, but will stop scrapnel and things like that I don't know whether I like them or not. I believe that they saved one man's life on the 6th of Mar. Happy Birthday, Mom! Sorry I didn’t send a card or anything, but I couldn’t find one. Ha! I don't think a coconut would do. Ha! ' With this vest we must be carrying around 75 to 100 pounds. Well, I just got the word from the Doctor. I've made Specialist 4. Now you can address my letters SP/4 Darwin E. Reid. Ha! More money too - about $50. I guess.

A TRULY EXCITING qOLD Guard those nylons, gals! Trout season opens this Saturday and that's <10 April foolin’. We're talking, of course, about the earlyseason for rainbow and brown trout in the lower reaches of streams flowing into the Great Lakes. Brooktrout will continue safe till the regular trout season opens April 29, and all sute waters are then open. About those nylons, now. Inch-square pieces, cut from a sheer nylon stocking, are ideal material for using to tie up spawn bags for rainbow bait. Most husbands are willing to settle for an old pair of ny­ lons for this purpose but in the fever pitch of get­ ting ready to go fishing, they have been known to make misukes. Don't say we didn't warn you, gals. Getting hold of some trout spawn or eggs poses quite a problem, unless a fisherman is far-sighted. It is sort of like that old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. The easiest way to get some rainbow trout spawn is to first catch a trout, but since this is easiest done with spawn for bait—well, you get the idea. . « The fisherman who thinks ahead has probably saved some spawn, frozen since last year. This can be either rainbow eggs from last spring or brown trout eggs from last tail's late season. Anyhow, say you have the trout eggs and your wife nas given you one of her old nylon stockings and you nave tied up a bunch of little fingernail­ sized bags of the stuff. What then? Well, De prepared to lose a lot of terminal out­ fits because if you are going to catch big trout dur­ ing the early season you will have to get right down on bottom. And, as you well know, that's where the snags are. If you don't lose 15 or 20 out­ fits the first weekend, chances are you are not get­ ting down into the best trout territory. . To save your temper, tie up a bunch of spare outfits before you go fishing. If you are using 8 or 10-pound test monofilament line on your reel, tie two feet of lighter leader to the end of it. This should contain your hook and enough split shots to make sure the bait will roll along bottom naturally when you let out slack. If you get snagged up all ■» . you will lose will be the lighter leader. This way you can just tie on another ready-made one and be “ right back in business. While natural spawrris the hottest spring-time yr bait, it isn't the only thing that will catch big trout Commercially-bottled salmon eggs, night crawlers, minnows, wigglers--all take big trout every spring. So do artificial baits like Flatfish, Mepps spinners and streamer flies. Flies, in fact, are greatly under-rated but deadly in the hands of an expert during the early trout season. A friend of ours, Ken Bailey, proved this rather conclusively last year by taking a 13-pound rainbow on a streamer fly. This early trout season is definitely not for the faint-hearted or the thin-blooded. It’s mighty chilly fishing in early ApriL Funny thing, though-once you get one of those silver-sided thunderbolts * on the end of your line you couldn't care less about cold weather.

Sanden Candy M f I #•» Mrs. Beverly Kelley weighs a gallon Vermontville Maple Syrup as"the .inal check of quality. Photo and Story by Gladys Richardson For the most part things don't "just happen" in Vermontville. They are carefully planned. The community itself is the result of careful planning by a group of adventurers from Vermont who presseu "westward" to establish a colony where its residents would enjoy much the same cultural advantages that existed in New England at the time. So it was with the maple syrup industry, even though the early pioneers found the Indians already making syrup when they arrived in this part ot the country. The Vermontville Syrup Festival Corporation was organized June 13, 1941, by interested citizens who were looking for a market for maple syrup and. other maple products, and who wished to promote the community. Michigan has long held an important place in the production of maple syrup and sugar and Vermontville area farmers are high on the list of individual producers. The annual syrup festival, with the crowning of a Vermontville girl as the maple syrup queen, and a varied program carried on throughout the day, brings thousands of persons to this little community each year. When the village trees were d, back in 1941, the syrup was made in a Iding w in the park on Main street. But because the lawn was dam­ aged each spring because of driving heavy vehicles onto it when unloading the sap, the building was moved a few hundred feet back of what is now Briggs Hardware. Then the building proved far too small, and three years ago a volunteer project pro­ vided a fine new $6,000 building which was con­ structed just to the east of the Methodist church. This was equipped with modem facilities, and it is here the municipal syrup making is being carried on this year. Wilbur Baker is in charge of making the syrup, and so far well over 200 gallons have been made. Any syrup producer knows that good sap runs oc- * cur when the night temperatures are below freezing and the following days are warm. It takes from 30 to 50 gallons of sap to produce a gallon of syrup, de­ pending on the sugar content. The sugar content varies from tree to tree within a sugar bush and var­ ies considerably from one bush to another. The var­ iation and differences are due to a number of things including elevation, topography of the ground, ex­ posure, and age of the trees. On an average a tree produces anough sap for one gallon of syrup in a season. On festival day, which falls on Saturday, April 29 this year, some 12 to 20 producers will have their wares on hand, and the thousands of visitors may have his fill of pancakes and Vermontville-made syrup.

Wesley started helping his father, Aarron Curtis, in the family sugar bush on a farm in the Bellevue area when he was only a lad in his early teens. .For the past 22 years he has lived on a farm where he has averaged from 350 to 500 gallons of syrup annually. He recalls when syrup sold for $1. 00 a gallon and sugar, made in three to five pound "blocks" sold for about 10 cents a pound. He also remem­ bers when the final "boiling down" was handled in the family kitchen, but now, with modern equip­ ment at his "sugar shanty" the syrup is all canned in the woods. For many years Mr. Curtis has been a member of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation and has served as a trustee for several years. He was named chairman of the committee in charge of building the new municipal sugar shanty three years ago, and volunteered many hours of work in the construction of the $6,000 building built in Vermontville. Mrs. Curtis has worked for many years right a­ long with him in making maple syrup. In addition she makes about 75 pounds of sugar each year. The Curtises take their syrup to the Michigan Sute Fair each year, along with some 40 pounds of sugar. They have Uken first prize in the sute on their syrup on two occasions, last year and three years ago. They have many customers who purchase syrup each year, including one family which has bought for 25 years. They have sent syrup and sugar all over the Uni­ ted Sutes, from New Jersey to California, from Up­ per Michigan to Florida. With increased postage rates the past few years they do not send out as much as they did many years ago. When the syrup season starts it means many long hours, and on occasions it has meant running the evaporator "around the clock* to keep ahead of the sap collection. When the rush of the season was over Mr. and Mn. Curtis used to host dozens of "sugaring off parties for their many friends. And there is just nothing quite like stirring hot syrup into maple sugar, or pouring it oyer snow or ice to form wax. Of the 1967 season Mr. Curtis says that for the first time he can recall, he had to uke the tractor back into the woods to break a path because of the deep snow. That way he was able 40 get to the trees to up them. This year Mr. Curtis has the assistance of Mrs. Gertrude McCrimmon, Ed. Goris and Tom Garrett in making maple syrup. At 72 Mr. Curtis isn't quite as active as he used to be, but be is right on the job to supervise all the work, and he puts in long hours at his sugar shanty. Many hundreds of persons from all over Michigan have visited his sugar bush, including a group of Boy Scouts from Grand Rapids who each year for the past eight have stayed over night in the woods where they set up tents and cooked their own meals over an open fire. And, as one would expect, Mr. Curtis sees that they each have a sample of warm syrup. MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. THURSDAY.

With the long winter we have had, I can't My I am too upset about the fact that we didn't have a long per­ iod of cold nights to make the sap flow. So far as I am concerned, I would rather have the spring weather than the maple syrup. Mb. Tonkin assure* me though, that the Syrup Association made enough syrup to cover the e x pensea of the operation for a year and to pay for the new burners which were installed this year. LIFE'S LIKE THAT DEPARTMENT Grace Cooley did her spring house cleaning for naught, so it seem*. Grace was getting ready to open the drive-in for the season. She cleaned like mad and had quite a start on it. Then early Satur­ day morning a fire started in the basement of the restaurant and completely destroyed the inside of the place The fire burned the floor out and let everything in the place down into the basement, which by that time was full of water. Now who was it who said, never put off till to­ morrow what you can do today? If Grace had only put off on her spring house cleaning at the drive-in The voters of Barty County have done it again. Apparently they think the people of the county are so good that they don't need a jail, so they have' voted it down again. I hope the people are right. It would be nice if all of our police problems werejo minor that we TWII BAACt CONTRIBUTED BT THB RVBC1BHEN by johu boughton could just forget about a jail entirely. In the meantime, should we have anyone we wish to throw into the pokey we have to go all the way to Charlotte. I'm sure the folks over there would be happy if we got our own jail and stopped cluttering theirs up with our people. Well we will have another go at it soon. We just have to keep working at it until we get a jail of our own. Nothing pretentious, just a little cot­ tage we can call our own. ■ The old saying is that the frogs have to freeze up three times before spring really arrives. If that is the case we have just about had it. Yesterday the frogs were singing like crazy and last night there was ice on the puddles. Mr. Leedy said his father always used to My that the frog* had to look through glass three times before spring was offici­ ally here. Same difference. I think this should just about mean spring ha* sprung. The kids seem to think it is officially spring. They have the jump rope* and marbles and kite* out. There are bud* on the trees and the crocus are pushing through me ground. Time to get the old lawn mower out and oil it up.

SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION LACK CONTROVERSY ’ Abortion and sterilization should be very contorvenial subjects. But Michigan lawmakers find, so far, this lias not been the case. When State Sen. John E. McCauley, D-Wyandotte, introduced a bill to legalize abortion and sterilization under specified circumstances there was brief argument over whether the bill could be considered this year. Sen. Robert Richardson, chairman of the Judici­ ary Committee to which the bill was assigned, said his group already bad a full calendar. The commit­ tee probably would not have time to properly study this measure because it would draw so much con­ troversy, he stated. Richardson suggested it be sent to the Health Com­ mittee, which has fewer bills. His idea was turned down. ’ ' allowances make the taxes nearly impossible to compare in any general way, the department study emphasizes. Mt and Ma. Ernett Stebelton and Mia Kay Eimon a friend of Battle Creek and Mr. and Mn. Dick Ei­ mon and ton Jimmy of Dowagiac were Sunday a f ternoon vuitorr of Mr. and Ma. M. J. Petry. Ml and Mn. Don Adamt and baby visited their grandma, Mn. Minnie Dull Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mn. Wayne Granger and torn, Mn. Vera Shepard spent Easter weekend with Mr. and Mn W Lorenz and son of Omaha. Neb. There is consolation in the knowledge that 26 states and the District of Columbia have both sales tax and income tax. The real issue is that Michigan simply needs more money than present programs generate if the state is to function at the level its people indicate they expect Who wants to reduce substantially the funds for schools, both at local and college level? Who wants to relieve the state of its welfare responsibilities and dump these back on individual counties? Who wants to lose ground in treatment of mental health? The answer seems to be "very few. " McCauley's proposal, patterned after similar laws in other states, would permit abortions upon recommendation by a county prosecutor and three physicians if the pregnancy resulted from rape or Sterilization of either men or women would be allowed because of physical or mental health con­ siderations or the family's economic condition. McCauley describes his bill as a "humanitarian" proposal . - ' Many doctors of high reputation are now perform­ ing these operations despite the risk to their profes­ sional standing, he said. Only a sprinkling of mail was received after the bill was made public. In a letter to the Senate com­ mittee the Michigan Council of Churches put it­ self firmly on record in support of the legislation. Concern has now shifted over this bill which, if passed, could be one of the most significant changet in Michigan law enacted this year. Richardson was first concerned that his committee could not give proper attention to the proposal be­ cause of its controversial nature. The concern in many quarters now is that Rich­ ardson 's committee will bypass the measure this session because there has not been adequate public sentiment TAXES CERTAIN Michigan's income tax, if one is signed into law, will probably be accepted reluctantly by the state's citizens. It might be some consolation to know that they have company among citizens of other states. According to a study oflthe State Revenue De­ partment, 35 states now have an income tax. All except that in Indiana are on a graduated scale with the percentage of tax increasing as income in­ creases. Of the graduated programs in other states, some start as low as 1. 5 per cent and some go as high as 12 percent. Variations in exemption and deduction Yet nearly 75% of state budget is made up of these three categories. Lawmakers are faced with the veiy real problem of raising money to finance the expenditures which they have authorized. And much of the funds authorized have been approved following pressure from citizens and citizen groups. One can judge the conscientious legislator as com­ pared with the more politically motivated by watch­ ing the voting record. A man who votes for all the expenditures and none of the taxes leaves something to be desired when he is measured for responsibility. This is the easy way, for it permits him to tell one group of constituents that he voted for what they want and another group that he voted for no taxes. Legislators who face the full problem of both ex­ penditure and income honestly are of infinitely more value to the people they represent This is the more difficult way, but it is the way which has a signifi­ cance for the state. There can be little doubt that Michigan citizens will be paying more in taxes in 1967 than they did in 1966. The question is how it will be collected, and when the collection will be accelerated. The bigger question is whether some son of fiscal tax reform will come to Michigan this year. The legislature has been wrestling with the question for 10 years. Previously they have come up with a patch­ work of tax solutions. Only a little time will tell what happens this year.

P. Brown, M. D., dSector of the Barry County Health Department. Ac cording to Dr. Brown this is one of the few counties in Michigan to provide a community tuberculin skin testing program for adults. BNOAOBD Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Higdon of Charlotte have announced the engagement of their daughter, E­ laine Charlene, to Rodney D. Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett L. Russell of Route 6, Charlotte. The bride-elect is a senior at Charlotte High School and her fiance is a 1966 graduate of the same school. She is employed in the offices of O­ wens-Illinois Corp, and he is employed by Eyde Construction Co. of East Lansing. No date has been set for the wedding. Hot Lunch Menu APRIL 10 -- 14 MONDAY--Chill/cracker, celery stix, jelly sand., . peaches, cookie, milk. TUESDAY--hot dog/bun, tomato soup or baked beans, pudding, milk. WEDNESDAY--Creamed chicken on biscuit, butter­ ed corn, bread/butter, plums, cake, milk. THURSDAY--Scalloped potatoes/ham, buttered beans, peanut butter sand., pears, cookie, milk. FRIDAY--Macaroni/cheese, buttered peas, hot roll/ butter, fruit jello, brownies, milk. He said tne program will be held in conjunction with the testing of school children in grades onefive and nine in schools throughout the county. He noted that the testing of school children requires parental consent. Parents are urged to sign the re­ quest cards and return them promptly to the schools. As a TB examination is required next year to teach or work in Michigan schools, Dr. Brown urges a 11 school .employees to have the skin test. The adult testing program will be held on the same days as the school testing programs. Barbers and beauticians are also urgeoto take advantage of the program to have their required checkup. Dr. Brown said it is extremely important for all persons who take the test to return at their sched­ uled time to have the results read. At that time billfold report cards will be issued to the persons. The tuberculin skin test shows whether a person has the TB germ in his body. Dr. Brown said about one in four adults is apt to react to the test. Re­ action indicates exposure to tuberculosis but does not mean a person has active tuberculosis. This is why it is important for a person to return for the reading. If a person does react, then further tests are needed to determine if the disease is active. He said, however, that most people are able to re­ sist the TB germs. The tuberculin skin testing program is sponsored by the Barry County Health Department, Barry County Physicians, Barry County Schools, the Mich­ igan Department of Public Health and the Michi­ gan Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Associa­ tion. The adult skin testing program schedule in Nash­ ville will be held at the Masonic Temple on Fri­ day, April 28 at 1 to 5 and 6 to 7. The reading will take place on Monday, May 1 from 1 to 5 and 6 to 7. Co-chairmen for Nashville are Mrs. Thomas My­ ers and Mrs. Harry Laurent.

CLASSIFIEDS PAY Fire damages Cooley restaurant fought the blaze for about three houn before bring­ ing it under control The restaurant is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Justin Cooley who opened the Drive-In 15 yeas ago. The Cooleys expected to reopen the restaur­ apt, which is normally closed during the winter months, about May 1, and they had been readying the building the day before the fire occurred. Be­ cause the fire was in the basement, the floor of the restaurant was badly charred, and it was necessary for the firemen to chop a hold in the floor to get water to the basement. The damage to the interior will run into a size­ able sum, although no figures on the loss have been determined. ' Mr. Cooley is a regular member of the fire de­ partment.

But what good will it do a fisherman to drive safely to his favorite trout stream only to be exposed to the dangers of modern-day fishing equipment? What we REALLY need are federal safety standards to protect fishermen! Just take a pair of innocent-looking waders as an example. No matter hew they are constructed or what brand-name they might carry, all have builtin dangers. Safety experts worrying about skid-proof tire treads might also show concern with the soles of wa­ ders which can, without a moment's warning, send a fisherman into an uncontrollable skid. The most obvious solution to this is to legalize the use of met­ al studs in the wader treads. Unfortunately, this suggestion is said to be oppos­ ed by persons within the conservation Department who feel that the constant use of metal studs in wa­ der treads will wear out the bottom of trout streams. Fear has also been expressed by some that fisher­ men, hurrying at top speed to get into a trout stream, may kick loose a certain number of metal studs. Other anglers following close behind may be struck and injured by these, they argue. As a solution to the problem of stream-bottom damage, it has been suggested that metal studs in wader wader“treads be allowecTonly allowedonly during the period from November 1 to May 1 each year. This, they say would save the stream bottoms from being worn out since few fishermen are wading the streams then. Opponents, however, argue that anglers who want to fish in the warm weather months, from May 1 tin Nov. 1, would have to use waders without the protective metal studs. This would make it neces­ sary to own two sets of waders, one with metal studs and one without, which hardly seems fair. A new book, called "Unsafe At Any Stream," is said to caU for federal safety standards for not on­ ly waders and hip boots but other items of fishing tackle. Chapters of the book are said to deal with land­ ing nets which stretch out on elastic cords and thump innocent fishermen in the skull with deadly accuracy; reel handles which can skin an angler's knuckles when a big fish is hooked; and flies and Belson spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Archie M a r tin of Vermontville. Rev. Rhoades came home from the hospital Mon­ day and is convalescing at home. He checked with his specialist last Friday.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kenyon and three sons qf An­ gola, Ind. spent Easter with Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Kenyon. other lures which persist in getting ungled in tree tops an unsafe height above the water. It is rumored that this author may even demand that sharp points be removed from all fish books to prevent injury to careless fishermen, though this seems to be going a little top far. We wouldn't be a bit surprised, however, to see both sure and federal lawmakers jumping into the controversy at any moment. Ceruinly no angler should be expected to face such dangers while he is fishing. Wnat we need most is another new law! Twenty-two Girl Scouts enjoy outing Twentv-two Girl Scouts of Vermontville troop 313 with leaaers, Mrs. Bev. Kelly, Mrs. Janice Baker, Mrs. Charlotte Cowell, nurse Mrs. Wanda Lyon and Camp mother, Mrs. Joyce Rathbum, left Thursday for an overnight campout at Holiday Haven at Wa­ cousta. This was the first such overnight campout for many of these scouts. Their diary for the trip read as follows: Thursday: 1:00 p. m. At arrival at camp the nose­ bag lunches were eaten. The flag raising ceremony followed. A hike around the area introduced us to another group of campers from Manistee. The girls pitched a tent for practice. Since the weather was no nice all meals were prepared and eaten outside. For supper the cooks prepared "Hobo Stew", hot chocolate and pudding cones. After dishes a sing-a­ long was held around the big camp fire. Lights out at ft 00. Friday: 6:30 a. m. (With 27 persons in one room it proved to be a long night for some, a short night for others 1) Bed rolls gathered up and fire started for breakfast. Flag ceremony was held. Breakfast consisted of orange juice, cereal, scrambled eggs, toast and hot chocolate. After a hardy meal everyone was as­ signed jobs to tidy up the camp. The chores -in­ cluded dishes, sweeping and mopping, bathroom de­ tail, cleaning fire rings, raking the grounds and sucking a wood pile. W ith everything in tip-top shape the group then had a practice session of march­ ing which they will do, come festival day. Troop departed at 11:30 for home with thoughts of anomer three day campout coming up in May.

The law now requires all children entering school to be immunized against: Diptheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, small pox and measles, and to have a tuberculin test. In as much as several of these cannot be given at the same time, it is wise to get an early start so they can all be finished before school starts.

He pitch­ ed what has to be the greatest game of all time in the world series with St Louis, hack in the dear dead past, like 1936 or 6, can’t remember which year. St. Louie, had a fat southpaw who went the en­ tire distance against Rowe, who started the game also. The game was a pitcher's battle from the word go, but it was marked with a number of runs on bout sides. I remember. 1 went to that game with my father, ■fie game was nip and who almost flipped over it. The tuck all the way and the Tigers,, in the ninth innsre were two men out ing were one run behind. Tner; and one on base and the pitcher, good old School­ boy, came to the plate. The crowds in the stands were aghast at the thought that Rowe was going to hit Everyone won­ dered why Cochran didn't put in a pinch hitter. Rowe stood up there and struck twice at the offer­ ings of the big left-hander and then, he squared off and let the old apple have it. The ball carried in­ to the stands for a home run to win the game. They just don't play ball that way these days. The kids at the hign school are getting ready to start baseball and track.

They got more than that, A white cat came in, looked around the lobby walked under the door to the office part of the bank and crawled into a cupboard behind a box of envelopes and went to sleep. That cat knew just what die wanted. Maple Valley excells at more than just sports it seems. The high school chess team has won the tro­ phy for the league. This is quite an accomplish­ ment. It is just like the football team, or the bas­ ketball team winning the top place in the league. friend of mine went to New York to rotcit against the wet, No war'is red-hot popular with that group that is expected to fight it, but this one seems to be less popular than most It seems that a lot of peo­ ple are asking questions these days about just what we are doing. The more I see and hear, the more I wonder my­ self. An older friend and I were talking over lunch Saturday. He told me that it is costing the United States four-hundred-thousand dollars to kill just one Viet Cong. This friend was of the opinion that if the good old U. S. of A. were to go over therewith four hundred bucks for each Cong they would be happy to come over to our side. He thinks that if we could give those -people enough money to buy farms, they would no longer be interested in communism. It does seem a shame that we can afford $400,000 just to kiU one man in a country few of us ever beard about a few yean ago, but we can't afford a fraction of that to save many people here from poverty.

James Varner, Wayne SkedgeU and Otto Dahm. ’ were seated Thunday evening at the regular meet­ ing of village officials. They will be working with the re-elected president, L James Rizor, and coun­ cilmen Harold Norris, Henry Fedewa and Frank Scramlin. _ President Rizor named his new committees for 'the year. On the itreet committee, Nonit, Dahm '•nd Fedewa; police committee, Dahm, SkedgeU and Varner; water, sewer and garbage. SkedgeU, Norris and Dahm; parks and library, Fedewa, Var­ ner and Scramlin; finance and insurance, Scramlin, Norris and SkedgeU, and named to the Fire Board, Scramlin and Varner. Named as president pro-tern, Harold Norris, and appointed on the new Zoning and Appeal board, Donald Langham, Harry Johnson, George Vogt and Harold Christiansen. Within the next few days a special meeting will be caUed to .set the millage for village taxes. This wiU be the fiat year the tax collections wiU be de­ termined on the basis of the equalized valuation in­ stead of the assessed valuation. The officials passed a resolution asking permis­ sion of the State Highway department to go under Highway M 66 for a new water service hookup. The condition of village streets was discussed and as soon as monies ate available the needed repain wUl be started. ., A motion was passed to apply to the FHA grant­ loan division for expansion of the present sanitary sewers. It is doubtful that any help wiU be forthcom­ ing in the Immediate future, but if and when more money is available it is hoped NashviUe can be giv­ en some assistance. Rizor stated the council plans to investigate the advantages of changing NashviUe village to a fifth class city. The remainder of the eve wu given over to a discussion of a water supply , distribution system. Engineers „ .J. Edward PreLn an and Carl Huber from Wil­ liams A Works of Grand Rapids were present to ans­ wer questions and discuss the preliminary report. Pro- THE DAIRY KING NOW OPEN FOR YOUR FAVORITE SUNDAES - MALTEDS BANANA SPLITS OPEN 11:45 am to 8:00 pm 182 S. Main, Vermontville ■ ■■ petals and recommendations have already been set up in the preliminary survey, and taken into consid­ eration are population trends, the village's assessed valuation,' the distribution system, storage, pumps and controls, the water quality, estimates of costs and financing such a project. The future population growth was developed from existing US census reports, and it is necessary to point out the population predictions are, at best, only approximation. The establishment of a single industry can cause an abnormal increase. The asses­ sed valuation for 1965-66 is $1,507, 000. For bond­ ing purposes the assessed valuation was used to es­ tablish the legal maximum general obligation i n debtedness which might be incurred. ' Presently the village obtains water from two wells, then carried to the iron removal filter plant. The aeration and filters function well in removing the iron, but the water can be consid­ ered "hard" by standards set for ideal water qual­ ity. Williams A Works, the engineering company providing the report suggests that a municipal water Presently the village has an 80-foot standpipe with a capacity of 68, 000 gaUons. This is adequate for presept everyday needs of the community, but' is inadequate for fire flows. The National Board of Fire Underwriten recommend that for a popula­ tion of X 500 (the present figure is 1, 525) the re­ quired amount of water should be 1,250 gaUons per minute for five hours. Drawing this amount from the existing tank, when full, would empty the tank in approximately 54 minutes without the use of the' pumps. With the pumps the tank would empty in 70 minutes. While the water tank is in fairly good condition, the foundation structure is old arid needs attention. The existing network of water mains con­ sists of some six miles of two-inch to eight-inch mains. The preliminary survey indicates that the supply of ground water is adequate to serve Nashville for many yean to come. If needed, more wells can be drilleu without much difficulty. > The design of the proposed distribution system is based on a population of 2,250 and an average flow of 150 gallons per capita per day. Recommended is a 70-foot standpipe, with a 400, 000 gallon - capacity to be erected in the south­ ern section of the village, 300 feet south of Casgrove road in the vicinity of the west city limits. This location will give the necessary elevation to assure adequate pressures throughout the village. The 150,000 should be used as the basic storage quantity, located in the top 30 feet of the tank. The bottom 40 feet will give ample fire protection. The new tank would be connected to the water sys­ tem by 10-inch mains on Casgrove road.and Dur­ kee'street, with an eight-inch connection on Fran­ cis to the existing mam on Main street. The . Fuller Heights subdivision should be looped into the sys­ tem by six-inch mains. Estimates of costs are broken down thusly: Fuller Heights subdivision, $30,000; remainder of the pro­ ject, $99, 000 making a total of $129, 000. The vil­ lage has a debt of $19, 000 in water revenue bonds and these should be refinanced with the bond issue. To obtain necessary revenue to finance the proCied project, the hydrant rental and/or rates would ve to be raised. Assuming the hydrant will re­ main the same, the rates would have to be In­ creased approximately 40 percent. The rate would still be low in comparison to many other Michigan communities. While this proposal is still well into the future, it is one of several the village council is considering.

THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1967 47p THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �WASTING EFFORT Prevailing concept of traffic safety shortcom­ ing!, dictated from Washington, is missing the meat of the problem, says the Automobile Club of Michigan. In Washington, focus of blame is car manufac- turen for the rising rates of traffic accidents and fatalities. Laws aimed at making autos safer and requiring states to implement these with other pro­ grams are either on the books or in the making. Michigan's Auto Club conducted a unique study of about 20 percent of the fatal accidents which occurred in the state last year. Published as "How to Bring More Back Alive, the 61-page report pins down several major causes, primarily law violations. The condition of the vehicle was not the obvious or direct cause of any of the deaths. BASIC LAW VIOLATIONS, at 89 percent, stood out as the most frequent cause of fatal crashes. Other major causes were alcohol (involved in at least 44 percent of the accidents), driven with bad records, and speed excessive for either road con­ ditions or the driver's ability. A disproportionately large number of inexper­ ienced, teen driven were involved in the acci­ dents studied. The .Auto Club also noted a dis­ tinctively small percentage of ola can involved. Representatives of the Auto Club visited the scenes of most accidents, interviewed witnesses and police, and delved into- the driving records of those involved. LEGISLATORS, JUDGES and law enforcement officers have been sent 32 specific recommenda­ tions resulting from the AAA study. The crux of the study's findings is to get traffic safety into proper focus. Fred N. Rehm, Auto Club general manager, notes that his organization fully approves of attempts to make can as safe as possible. "Attentionshould be shifted to the major cause: the driver," he says. Federal attempts to get safer vehicles "wjll have no effect on cutting accidents, though they may cut deaths and severity of accidents/* he stated in a letter to the National Highway Safety Agency. 1 " Even when the perfect vehicle is built, if it ever is, there still will be accidents, " Rehm contends. His organization's In-depth study backs up the contention that safety efforts should be aimed at improving the man behind the wheel LEGISLATURE OVERLOADED Michigan's legislature is still having its prob­ lems getting organized after four months of ses­ sion. This was predicted for the House of Representa­ tives because of an even 55- 55 vote split, but that is not the problem which continues to plague lawmakers. " The high volume of bills introduced this year has posedacute printing problems; so acute that on several occasions it has been a week or more from the time a measure was introduced before a copy of the bill was available to read. DEADLINE FOR ACCOMPLISHING certain phases of the annual lawmaking process have already been missed and reset. At the beginning of the session Senate Majority Leader Emil Lockwood, R-St Louis, proposed set­ ting an additional set of deadlines: to schedule committee work. His idea was a good one although no schedule came about. LIKE A FAMILY trying to live on an unrealistic budget, the state legislature has consistently ser for itself impossible time schedules. The trouble is inherent in the way they operate. Each year most legislators introduce a whole group of bills to placate their constituents in the full knowledge that the proposals have no chance of passage. THIS SWAMPS the entire legislative machine. This year there were some 500 requests to have bills drawn for introduction which could not be fulfilled. More than 2,050 bills were properly in­ troduced; about 800 in the Senate and 1,250 in the House. It is not uncommon fot one legislator to introduce more than 100. Until someone figures out a better way, or until legislators are willing to down the number of hope­ less or pointless bills they introduce, there can be no easy solution to their wallowing. They have made their own legislative bed, and they must roll around in it THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER A MUSICAL, STAGE PRODUCTION Saturday, April 22 1:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M.

The law now requires all children entering school to be immunized against; — Diptheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, small pox and measles, and to have a tuberculin test.

My friend told me that old Chief came to his door and scratched and cried, begging to be let in. Somehow he sensed that there was going to be a bit of a storm and Chief just does not like storms. They let him in and be crawled under the table (the book says you are supposed to do that) to wait the storm out.

An increase in international surface and airmail rates averaging 13% will go into effect May 1,1967 to help offset-a cunent operating deficit of about $16 million annually in international postal service. The increase will not apply to mailing* for mem­ bers of the Armed Forces overseas. Domestic postage rates are applicable to mail addressed through APO s and FPO's. The changes in rates were first proposed in the Jan­ uary 14 Federal Register, giving interested par­ ties thirty days to comment. The confirmed rates ap­ peared in today's federal register and will be put in­ to effect by the Postmaster General under his admin­ istrative authority. No legislation is needed. Comment* dealing with increa*ed rate* for maga­ zines clarified mailing problems of publisher*. Ac­ cordingly, as shown in point No. 8 below, the origi­ nally proposed increase in rates to Canada were mod­ ified by delaying the effective dates. Highlights of the final action are: 1. Airmail letters to Central America and the Car­ ibbean area will be increased from 13# per half ounce to 15#. 21 Airmail to the rest of the Western Hemisphere will remain at 15# per half ounce, except for Can ada and Mexico. 3. Airmail to Europe and Mediterranean Africa will be increased from 15# per half ounce to 20#. 4. Airmail letter rates to the rest of the world will remain unchanged at 25# per half ounce. 5. Aerogrammes and air post cards will be in­ creased 2# each from 11# to 13#. 6. Items sent by air, other than letters and parcels, such as small packages, books, periodicals and other printed matter will be increased 10# per piece to all countries except Canada. 7. Most letter* going by surface transportation to all nations (excluding Canada and Mexico) will be increased from 11# to 13#. Post cards will be raised from 7# to 8#. 8. Most primed matter, including publications, will be increased one cent per piece. For 2nd class publication* to Canada only, me one cent increase will be deferred for six months to become effective November 1, 1967. Also, the present bundling of publication* addressed to Canadian post offices will remain in effect until November 1, 1968, at which time It will be discontinued. 9. Surface parcel post rates to all nations will be increased 20# per parcel, an average of 7% Postage rates for surface first class letter* and air letters and surface 3rd class type printed matter to Canada and Mexico correspond to US domestic rates, which are set by the Congress, and are not being changed at this time.

Vermontville's 27th Annual MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL Saturday, April 29,1967 The community of Vermontville has readied itself! once again for the big spring event in this area--the 27th annual Vermontville Maple Syrup FestivaL It will be held on Saturday, April 29th and from all ac­ counts, should be just as big and grand as ever. Denise Viele, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Viele, will reign as me 1967 Syrup Queen. Her al­ ternate is Linda Slade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ther­ on Slade. Members of die Queen's court are: Pam Barlond, Louise Lindberg and Pam Grant. Lieutenant Governor William G. Milliken will be present to do the honors of crowning the Queen. This ceremony will take place at 11:30, right after the presentation of the 1967 Queen’s Court. Rev. Leonard Maunder of the Congregational church will serve as the Master of Ceremonies. Greetings will be made by Otus Mills, president of the Village, John Gaedert, president of the Festival Corporation and John Rodriguez, president of the Chamber of Commerce. The Maple Valley Marching Band will lead the big parade promptly at 1:00. Kenyon Peabody is again Parade Marshall and Mrs. Hildred Peabody is Parade Chairman. Specialty acts will be presented by various groups and the popular Pancake Derby and wood Chopping contests wul also be held. Food, maple syrup and maple syrup products will be available at many different places about the com­ munity. The Sugar Shanty will De open all day for visitors. ~ Concession stands and rides for the youngsters will be available. It would be difficult to explain the success of a , venture such as this by saying one person or one com-' mittee made the difference. The success can only be said to be a result of much planning and hard work by many, many persons and organizations, all work­ ing toward the same goal. A new president, John Gaedert, was named to the Festival Corporation this year. This action was taken when Richard Todd accepted a new position and moved from the community. Mr. Todd had served four years as president. Denise Viele, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Charlei Viele, of Vermontville, was chosen Queen of the Maple Syrup Festival for 1967. Linda Slade was cho■ sen alternate. The balloting took place Monday evening follow­ ing a Vermontville Lions Club dinner meeting at which the candidates and dje judges were guests of the Lions Club. The queen and her alternate are both juniors at the Maple Valley High School and they will reign over the Festival on April 29th. Denise, who plans to become an art teacher, hopes to design and make her own formal for the Festival nony. She is a junior leader in 4-H srly interested in sewing and knitting, earned achievement awards in cookly enjoys swimming. is a good student and she participates in many school activities. Both Denise and her alter­ nate were in the Junior Play. Linda Slade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theron Slade, of Vermontville, is also active in the activi­ ties at the school. She is varsity cheer leader, a member of the Pep Club and is active in the Girl's Athletic Association. Linda plans to go to college after she is graduated from Maple Valley, and would like to be an airline hostess. Both girls are carrying on syrup and festival tradi­ tions. Linda's sister Connie, was the alternate before het. Denise's family has been active in making syr­ up since 1875.. Others competing for the queen honor were Pam Grant, Louise Lindberg and Pam Barlond. Judges for the competition were Wilbur Marsh, Phyllis Kilpatrick, Winnie Mills, Paul Fisher and Carl Thrun. Mrs. Kilpatrick was the first Festival Queen. Denise Viele is ’67 Syrup queen �For the most in Vermontville, community itself is me result oi carerui f a group of adventurers from Vermont who "westward" to establish a colony where it would enjoy much the same cultural advs that existed in New England at the time So it was with the maple syrup industry, even though the early pioneers found the Indians already making syrup when they arrived in this part of the country. The Vermontville Syrup Festival Corporation was organized June 13, 1941, by interested citizens who were looking for a market for maple syrup and other maple products, and who wished to promote the community. Michigan has long held an important place in the production of maple syrup and sugar and Vermontville area farmers are high on the list of individual producers. The annual syrup festival, with the crowning of a Vermontville girl as the maple syrup queen, and a varied program carried on throughout the day, brings thousands of persons to this little community each year. When the village trees were first tapped, back in 1941, the syrup was made in a small building in the park on Main street. But because the lawn was dam­ aged each spring because of driving heavy vehicles onto it when unloading the sap, the building was moved a few hundred feet back of what is now ' Briggs Hardware. Then the building proved far too small, and three years ago a volunteer project pro­ vided a fine new 36, 000 Building which was con­ structed just to the east of the Methodist church. This was equipped with modern facilities, and it-is here the municipal syrup making is being carried on this year. Wilbur Baker is in charge of making the syrup, and so far well over 200 gallons have been made. Any syrup producer knows that good sap runs oc­ cur wnen the night temperatures are below freezing and the following days are warm. It takes from 30 to 50 gallons of sap to produce a gallon of syrup, de­ pending on the sugar content. The sugar content varies from tree ,to tree within a sugar bush and var­ ies considerably from one bush to another. The var­ iation and differences are due to a number of things including elevation, topography of the ground, ex­ posure, and age of the trees. On an average a tree produces anough sap for one gallon of syrup in a season. On festival day, which falls on Saturday, April 29 this year, some 12 to 20 producers will have their wares on hand, and the thousands of visitors may have his fill of pancakes and Vermontville-made syrup. Mrs. Beverly Kelley weighs a gallon Vermontville Maple Syrup as the-final check of quality.

JOHN GAEDERT, PRESIDENT Vermontville Maple Syrup Corporation Rev. Maunder remains active in semi-retirement When a man reaches the proverbial three score ears and ten, and has retired from years of activty, does ft mean that there is not much to do ex­ sept twiddle ones thumbs?

This simply means schedule of moct active minitten, a reduction has A little over three yean ago Rev.

As a maple syrup producer for more than 50 years it seems only fitting that he should have been se­ lected for the honor. Wesley suited helping his father, Aarron Curtis, in the family sugar bush on a farm in the Bellevue area when he was only a lad in his early teens. For the past 22 years he has lived on a farm where he has averages from 350 to 500 gallons of syrup annually. He recalls when syrup sold for $1. 00 a gallon and sugar, made in three to five pound "Slocks" sold for about 10 cents a pound. He also remem­ bers when the final "boiling down" was handled in the family kitchen, but now, with modern equip­ ment at his "sugar shanty" the syrup is all canned in the woods. . For many years Mr. Curtis has been a member of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation and has served as a trustee for several years. He ' was named chairman of the committee in charge of building the new municipal sugar shanty three years ago, and volunteered many hours or work in the construction of the $6, 000 building built in Vermontville. Mrs. Curtis has worked for many years right a­ long with him in making maple syrup. In addition she makes about 75 pounds of sugar each year. The Curtises take their syrup to the Michigan Sure Fair each year, along with some 40 pounds of sugar. They have taken first prize in the state on their syrup on two occasions, last year and three years ago. They have many customers who purchase syrup each year, including one family which has bought for 25 years. They have sent syrup and sugar all over the Uni­ ted States, from New Jersey to California, from Up­ per Michigan to Florida. With increased postage rates the past few years they do not send out as much as they did many years ago. . When the syrup season starts it means many long hours, and on occasions it has meant running the evaporator "around the clock' to keep ahead of the sap collection. When the rush of the season was over Mr. and Mrs. Curtis used to host dozens of "sugaring off parties for their many friends. And there is just nothing quite like stirring hot syrup into maple sugar, or pouring it over snow or ice to form wax. Of the 1967 season Mr. Curtis says that for the first time be can recall, he had to take the tractor back into the woods to break a path because of the deep snow. That way he was able to get to the trees to tap them. This year Mt. Curtis has the assistance of Mn. Gertrude McCrimmon, Ed. Goris and Tom Garrett in making maple syrup. At 72 Mr. Curtis isn't quite as active as he used to be, but he is right on the job to supervise all the work, and he puts in long hours at his sugar-shanty. Many hundreds of persons from all over Michigan have visited his sugar bush, including a groun or .Boy Scouts from Grand Rapids who each year'for the past eight have stayed over night in the woods where they set up tents and cooked their own meals over : an ppen fire. And, as one would expect, Mr. Curtis sees that they each have a sample of warm syrup. CROWNING OF QUEEN DENISE: By Lt Governor William Milliken 10: 30 a. m.

It just seems to me that the kids of today ate far mote talemed than they were when I was young. In foy day an attempt to produce a show such as they put on would have resulted in a very amateurish thing, indeed, They did a very professional job. Every one of them could try out for a Broadway production. I have beard that they intend to do this every year.... More power to them. Over 400 persons in the Nashville area turned out for TB tests at tbe recent clinic held here. Though most of them were adults, some children did receive tbe tests also. --News Photo Eaton County Board adopts 1967 equalization The Eaton County Board of Supervisors adopted the 1967 county equalization total of $174,348,875. This is an Increase of $9, 966,403 over tbe 1966 equalized value. The increase in value is the result of new con­ struction, new business, more equipment and in­ ventories and better assessment techniques. Some values decreased because of fires, businesses mov­ ing and smaller inventories, however, there was a loss of nearly three million dollan equalized value due to the exemption of agriculture personal prop­ erty. Because of this exemption, eight of the six­ teen townships Juve a value less than in 1966. All other townships lost farm personal property values too, but the increases for other properties more than made up for the loss in these units. Neatly all assessing units in Eaton County are trying to assess property at the statutory require­ ment of 505> of tbe true cash value. The assessors presented their assessment rolls, personal property statements and tbe records of assessment changes to tbe County Equalization Department. Thb In­ formation was reviewed for accuracy and com­ pleteness and approved by tbe Equalization Com- . mlttee. The committee recommendation was pre­ sented to tbe entire board of supervisors for adopttion of the county value. Tbe county value will not be final until the State Equalization is com­ pleted on May 22. 1967. "The equalization committee baa recommended to individual assessors certaip areas for improve­ ment of uniformity within the county. Major cate­ gories of study being planned for future assessor's worksbops are acreage land values, commercial building values, and personal property discovery and valuation. Monday I went down to Michigan State's campus to have lunch and as I walked across tbe campus behind a pretty blond young girl a sudden and ca­ pricious gust of wind whipped across the green. Tbe pretty blond changed before my eyes. She became a stringy haired brown-type colored haired girl I realized what had happened when 1 saw her take off across campus chasing what looked like a curly blond cat, or perhaps a pretty curly blond little ^he caught tbe wig, put it back on, and went on bet way, making adjustments to her hair. I followed her into the Union building and she went right into tbe ladies' room. I'll bet she pasted it down with gum or scotch tape. MMwde&tvicu Jamet Miller - Army Private James D.

This year’s figure is based on the equal­ ized valuation. While the new figure for millage is less than last year the amount of money needed for village operation is slightly higher because of die difference in tax base. The total budget this year was set at $105, 738. 00. The village of Nashville has no area designated as a trailer park. This means that trailers are lo­ cated in various areas throughout the community. For the most part there has been no objection to the parking of trailers, especially those that are well kept and the owners take pride in the yard sur­ rounding the trailer. However, there are a few cases where the owners have unsightly traileB and as village president James Rizor said, "we are not going to become a dumping ground for old trailen, and we intend to govern these by strictly adhereing to our zoning code, We realize that many young couples just starting out cannot afford a $15, 700 to $20,000 home, and a trailer is the answer, but we have a number of trailen which are little more than junk heaps." The newly appointed Zoning Adminis­ trator, Donald Langham, was present and aided in the discussion. This led into a discussion of an accumulation of numerous pieces of junk in various locations, and these residents are to be ordered to clean up their premises or further action will be taken. President Rizor reported on a meeting Wednes­ day evening of representatives from Castleton and Maple Grove township boards, the village of Nash­ ville, along with George Vogt of the Vogt Funeral home and Fire Chief Forrest Babcock to discuss am­ bulance service for this area. Representing Castle- • < ton township were Supervisor Russell Mead and Clerk Cecil Barrett, and from Maple Grove town­ ship, Supervisor William Schantz. After a ' ■ lengthy discussion of various methods of providing ambulance service for the area, the meeting ad­ journed. Another meeting was scheduled for Mon­ day, May 1, when some favorable action was ex­ pected to develop. Other council business was routine. • • • • • LINGERIE HOSE HANKIES BLOUSES DRESSES SLACKS SHORTS SKIRTS Plans completed for Vacation Church School Only MoM DG-S513C amazing new “no iron" fabrics — come from The committee of teacben and assistants (or the ■ EUB-Methodist Vacation Church School met May 1 to further extend the plans for this school which will be held the week of June 19.

LARRY REEVES, Nashville 653-3351 Area residents are invited by the Hastings Area United Church Women (Barry County) to plan now to attend May Fellowship Day on Friday. May 5. at the Woodland Church of the Brethren. Coats Grove Road. A cooperative luncheon wiU be served at 12:30 p. m. (bring your own table ser­ vice and a dish to pass; coffee and rolls will be furnished). At the program to follow, Mrs. Arthur Dodge will give the devotions. Mn. James Smith of Nashville is chairman for May Fellowship Day. The emphasis of the day will be on Family Life, with Mrs. Howard Bigelow of Kalamazoo as speak­ er. Mrs. Bigelow is a 76-year old grandmother, the widow of Howard F. Bigelow, who was a pro­ fessor of economics at Western Michigan Univer­ sity. specializing in family finance. Mn. Bigelow was interested as a young wife in how families spent their money, and why they spent it as they did. Finally her interest enveloped the entire area of family living. They had four children of their own and for many years opened their home and shared their life with many persons, students, and faculty. Their family life became a testing ground for book knowledge. Soon Ruth Bigelow found she could share her insights, so began to work with PTAs, Women's Clubs, YWCA, young peopled groups, and church groups. Now because of the interrelationships she continues to discover between church and family, she prefers to work in churches. This she does in various ways. In recent years, several Episcopal churches have invited Mrs. Bige­ low to visit their parish for varying amounts of time, from one to seven months. At present she is a family life consultant for the Family Life House of the Pottage Human Concerns Council. She tries to assist individuals and families to de­ velop a better pattern of family living, feeling that many things experienced in the church fam­ ily, such as forgiveness and gratitude, can have deep meaning in the lives of the families that make up the church. At this meeting clothing and other materials gathered for migrant workers in the Ionia area will be brought in from the churches. Mrs. C. B. Howe, the new Migrant Chairman, will be at the meeting to receive them. Officers of United Church women make the reminder that the offer­ ing taken on May Fellowship Elay stays here for the work of the local council. An invitation has also been received from Mrs. Julian Gromer, president of the Grand'Rapids Coun­ cil, to attend their observance of May Fellowship Day, at 8:00 p. m. on the evening of May 5, at Central Reformed Church, Grand Rapids. t,kR T»0* Carnival RADIO & TV Repair Work HUBERT LATHROP Main St. Nashville Closed Sat. afternoon OL3-9421 Fuller St. School May 5 St. Cyril’s Catholic Church Hey Kids!

Beedle Insurance Agency 100 S Main OL 3-8462 �Worked several time* with tbe Tillage ***re*tir tn AmbdI Report By CASTLETON TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR Thi* report coven the period from April 1, 1966 to April 1, 1967. In the period of this report Cas­ tleton Township had one of its busiest and best years. Probably more building activity went on in this twelve month period than any other on record for the Township. 87 building permits were issued for a total value of about $275,000. Thi* covers aU of the major building project* in the township. This could be a lengthy report if all of the projects go­ ing on were reported. I will mention here a few of the area* of activity. This year saw-tbe township as well as Barry County and all of the State of Michigan go from as­ sessed valuation to State Equalized Valuation or S. E. V. The State Equalized valuation will be the only figure placed on your tax statement as it come* out in early December of thi* year. Of course, many adjustments have been made and will be made to meet the requirements of the state tew. You have paid taxes on state equalized val■i and so this changeover ■ ■' . require* that all village itical to the township asv* have required a lot of ' the supervisor in joint stings with the two Boards of Rertew involved. Your summer tax statement and your winter tax statement must bear the same figure a* an assessment. If these two figures do not agree a mistake has been made and I will appreci­ ate calling this to my attention. A new Building Ordinance was put into effect af­ ter careful discunion and consideration. It has been working out very well and is really a necessity with an area doing the amount of building, moving in ' and out of trailers, etc., that was done in our town­ ship test year. This year also saw the adoption of the permanent zoning ordinance which is adminis­ tered largely by the county. However, I have spent One of the busiest area* this year was on Pleas­ ant Shores, a part of the Charlton Estate on Thorn­ apple Lake. Lot* were sold a* fast a* they became available and there was much building and moving in of mobile home*. During the year the Warner cemetery was reac­ tivated with toe cooperation of local citizens and Howard Hobert Sexton for the cemetery. The cem­ etery was cleared of brush and part of it bulldozed for extra burial lots. Ten lots were sold during the year which is more than has been sold during the past several years. Local people working with the township have prepared maps and burial permits to those buying lot*. Considerable work was also done on tbe Hosmer and Barryville cemeteries in the way of removing dead trees, cleaning, mowing and graveling. I think that the township can very well ne proud of the way its three cemeteries look­ ed on Decoration Day. Considerable toad work wa*,done last year. Tbe major project was the preparation of Center Road for blacktop in the fall of 1967. This project in­ volved much grading, replacing of tubes, fences, removal of tree* etc. The temporary discomfort of Center roau should be a permanent improvement. We have had many compliments and favorable re­ pons on the road improvement* that have been made in the past three or four yean with rather a limited amount of money. These projects of course, included Barger, Cogswell, Center and the bridge over Thornapple River. In the spring of 1966 the entire townsnip board took a road tour and as a re­ sult of this, extra money was put into gravel in sev­ eral locations in the township. I think also that we can be very happy with the job of snow removal by the Barry county road commission and crew* during the past winter of heavy snow storms. The town­ ship provided considerable extra money for the re­ moval of this snow. We as a township also put considerable money in­ to fire fighting equipment, both in 1965 and again in 1966. Another new truck and equipment was purchased and this put the fire department in good shape, equipment-wise. Under the one mill tax for fire equipment that was first spread in 1964, we are coming out very good in our five year plan. We have made three tax collections on this extra equipment and will have it paid for well'ahead of the five year limit. Also in cooperation with the fire board and the fire department, a new burning ordinance was adopted effective April 12, 1966. At the present time we are working on better ambulance service for Castleton township. Several meeting* have been held with the various boards involved. Although nothing definite has been ac­ complished, the plans are in the making for the . township to have some part in ambulance service on a limited basis. As you know, most of the am­ bulance owners went out of business as of March 1. Our local ambulance service stayed in business at least on a temporary basis until some sort of ar-’ rangement can be made by the township. During the year two new plats were developed. These were Fuller Heights and Prudden's Plat on Lit­ tle Long Lake. Prudden's Plat has required a consid­ erable amount of work on the part of the supervisor in checking and enforcing platting rule* and regu­ lations. This extra property all adds to the tax base. At least three other plat* are in the planning and developing stage. Any one thinking of selling more than three lot* from tneir property should first con­ sult with us and make sure that they are within the limit* of the plat law. Another new law this year states that all farm times I wonder If I am spending more time on tax exemption* than on taxes. Exemptions now include, of course in addition to the farm personal, senior citizen exemptions, blind exemptions, veteran ex­ emptions and exemptions on federal, state and lo­ cal government-owned property. This year we have 171 senior citizen exemption* as compared to 178 last year. There are 11 veteran exemptions as com­ pared to 12 last year. Eleven new senior citizens came in for exemption this year and the difference comes through those who have passed on during the year as well as those who have moved or rented. In mentioning property that is exempt I did not men­ tion all the church property that u exempt in the township and this amounts to quite an item. Fortyfour items of real estate are exempt in the township for various categories. Going back for a minute to the farm personal exemption, of course, then- i* no reimbursement on this exemption a* there is with the senior citizen and veteran exemptions. The township will lose some $230,000 of state equalized valuation through this exemption. Through a state study it was found out that the farmer was paying thi* loss is made up through new building and other new property going on the tax roU. tta state has required the supervisor to take tbe fata inventory a* usual and then enter it in the assezsment roll and mark it exempt. As you can see thi* ba* all add­ ed more work to the supervisor's job instead of less. Three properties that have been exempt were added . to the roll through the state land sale. sale, Listing rather ather briefly a few of the tbe other ol activities that I have been involved in: Five county commit­ tee assignments; equalization chairman, rule* and resolutions, salaries, township clerks report (chair­ man) and county planning. Office hour* every Fri­ day for exemption* in particular. Board of Review 5 days. Many property description check*. Consum­ ers Power conferences on personal taxes. Tax Asses­ sor* conference in Grand dds. Worked out *ystem for keeping better tr__________ __ and mobile of trailen home*. Thirty-five were moved into the township last year. A check with the county surveyor or prop­ erty survey*. Estimate* of bringing some private roads up to county specification*. Made arrange­ ment* for burning of two old buildings as practice for the fire department. Completed federal census report on new building within the township. Wrote article for county equal­ ization committee and published in five county pa­ per*. Trip to Lansing in regards to rules and regula­ tions for senior citizen and veteran exemption*. classes for real estate and five classes for personal assessments. Total assessment roll for 1966 amount­ ed to $5,121, 945 or a little over 110,000,000 cash value in the township. Total amount of tax toll spread for various pur­ poses, 9146, 632.74. Total amount of parcels the tax was spread on, 1430 including personal*. Cas­ tleton township belongs to both the state associa­ tion of supervisors and the Michigan townships As­ sociation. No report is complete without a look at the future as well as what ha* been accompliihed. We will need to consider more money for road* and perhaps a new bridge a* money become* available. We should also be thinking about a new building to bouse fire equipment and possibly ambulance equip­ ment in the tame building. Suitable ambulance service for our area still ha* some work to be e ffective. New rule* and regulations will won be in effect on disposal of garbage and waste material. This no doubt will involve some investment of towmhip fund*. A* the township continue* to e x pand it will be necessary to spend a little more on office equipment and help, both of which seem to be at a minumum at the present time. Now for a few statistic* from the supervisor’s standpoint: Board meetings (county and towmhip) 45; County committee meetings, 21; Letter* sent out, 265; letters received, 233; calls made out in the towmhip, 327; calls made at the bouse or com­ ing to tbe office, 201; telephone call* made out, 162; telephone calls coming in, 418; appraisals made for Probate Court, 19; gun permit* signed, 8; building permit* issued, 87, zoning permits checked. 40; mile* driven while working for tbe We may often think that not much it being ac­ complished until we <tart reviewing where we have been In the test twelve month* and then it all add* up to quite a lilt. The accomplishments that we have made of course, are only possible through the cooperation of the people of the township as well as tbe work and dedication of each member of the ' township board. I appreciate thi* cooperation in that it make* my work much easier at times. If at any time I can be of help on township matters, please feel free to let me know. 1966 was a good year for Castleton towmhip and we are all ready at work to make 1967 as good or better.

Late Saturday afternoon we ran out of whole chiclr:ns, but we feel most everyone was served because we had about a ton and a half to sell. Hot dogs were the same' we did run out, but we had about 800 pounds to sell. We do have just so many truck deliveries per week and we have Just so much storage capac­ ity in the store.

He will call on Mn. Vera Calhoun and Mr. Hdred Toutant in his discussion of prospective changes in the schools. Mr. Larsen was interviewed early in the year and made the following comments. Youth is testing the values of a past generation. There is a lack of confidence in themselves, he stated, because they are not sure of the values they now have. It is gen­ erally conceded that 1/2 of the population of the United States is under 26 yean of age. There is a job for everyone in community affairs and what we have should be used to the greatest extent As a nation, we need self-discipline, we should be sen­ sitive to the needs of others. Consequently, all a­ gencies should work together. His final comment was that youth today needs more understanding than youth in the past He felt he could show def- Lt.

Miller, then district superintendent, pre­ sided over the occasion and the church members voted their property over to the Church of the Nazarene. "It was a solemn occasion," said Rev. H arwoo.d "but it wasn't five minutes until they were all (eleven members) taken into the newly organized church.

Summer Remedial Reading program to be offered The Maple Valley Schools will again be offering a Summer Remedial Program under the Federal Ele­ mentary-Secondary Education Act, Title L The pro­ gram will begin June 26th and end August 4th. Class­ es will be held in the mornings only from approxi­ mately 8 until 12 o'clock with the exception of July 4th. There will be three locations. This year's students in grades three through six will meet at the Fuller St. and Maplewood Schools. Students in grades sev'en through ten will meet at the Jr. Sr. High School. Bus transportation will be furnished anti there will be no charge for the program. Students will be eligible for this program who are in need of help with their reading. Students will be screened by the classroom teacher and the adminis­ tration. Those students who qualify will be notified in advance of the program. The purpose of this program is to help those stu­ dents who need extra attention in the related areas of reading. Through the federal funds provided for this program, new materials and teaching aids have been purchased to assist the teacher in helping your / child. Some of the equipment that will be used are reading kits, reading machines, supplementary books along with filmstrips, tapes, and records. Dur­ ing the summer, the classes will be taken on field trips to such places as the State Capitol, Kellogg Company, John Ball Park and the Nature Center. In addition to helping children with their reading, each child will be given, free of charge, some book: that they may keep to nan their own Dome library. Social Science By GRETA FIRSTER Mary Latta, Cindy Dies and Larry Shance brought articles and money from Japan and Korea for out exhibit table. Bill Eastman brought a Ca­ nadian Centenial coin collection. One of our bulletin boards contains an exhibit of Expo '67. which win be held in Montreal, Can­ ada this summer. Cindy Babcock’s family is plan­ ning on attending this world's Fair. Cindy has promised to bring back some pictures. We thank David Pfaff for sending us a Peoples Republic of China calendar and magazine issued in 1967. This is the first real Chinese propaganda we have had a chance to read. Mao's picture on the front looks like an 18 year old. Yet the pic­ ture reads, "Mao— taken in Dec. 1966." This was undoubtedly done to dispell the fears of Mao's fol­ lowing that he was old, tired, and senile. Larry Snow and Rod Pennock taped the two parts of The Saigon Report and played them in our Gov­ ernment class. We thought it somewhat anti- A­ merican. Rod also taped the Anatomy of a letter for us. Did you know that Ho Chi Min worked in Boston and New York City before he finally went home to Viet Nam? The 7 E Michigan History class has written to many industries for information to share with the class. Sandy Dies and Lois Pennock gave us an ex­ cellent report on the making of paper. Bart Bracy and Gary Goris are preparing their materials on salt. Many have not received their materials yet The 7E class will join Mrs. Baas' group for a visit to Lansing the 3rd of May. Mrs. Dies, Mrs. Demond and Mrs. Brown will act as helping aides for our group. Sandy Dies brought several books from the Put­ nam Library on the early history of Michigan. We enjoyed the many stories in them. We saw a deer out our north window one day last week. They are too beautiful to kilL We are always happy to have old grads drop in. College seems to agree with Steve Douse, Steve Graham, Cherry Benedict and Ron Barrette. Uncle Sam's Navy is doing o. k. by Jim HalliwelL . The American Government classes have just fin­ ished studying our Foreign Policy. Did you know we have a collective security pact with 43 coun­ tries? Did you know we have distributed $123,400', 000, 000 in American aid since July! 1945? Did you know the lion's share went to Great Britain? So--today England sends motors to North Viet Nam plus a great amount of other things. Quotation from Pete, the Philosopher; “ Excell- * ence has to be paid for, and the price tag is high." It requires time, patience, sometimes money and keeps one's eye on the distant goal. " Bryan Stocks of Phoenix, Arizona, visited us one day last week. He is a CPA in Phoenix. His com­ pany is sending him to school in Chicago for three weeks. Jeff Mix and Allen Kill stoppeu for a few minutes, too. Jeff is in the Air Force and will soon be sent to Hawaii. Allen is working in Charlotte. We welcome a new student, Ruth Isaacson, in grade 7E. Congratulations to Sarah Hansen and Larry Snow • who passed their civil service exam for a summer job in a post office.

Loren Dingman, who owns and operates the South End Food and Beverage, on south Main street, has announced the opening of a new business supplying flowers, plants, corsages and many other services. Mr. Dingman will qpntinue to operate the South End Food and Beverage along with his new Floral business. This could be the story of a person who sets a goal and continues along paths leading to that goat Loren has always had an interest in ana a feeling for flow­ ers, shrubs, plants and this type of thing. His previous addition of these items, though at a smaller scale, to bis present grocery business indi­ cates his interest along these lines. The business will be housed in the building on South Main street, previously occupied by the Ding­ mans as a home. The entire living area has been changed to accommodate shelves and large display areas have been set up for arrangements of all kinds - fresh flowers, plants ana permanent arrange­ ments. The kitchen area will be used for preparing the floral pieces and refrigeration of fresh flowers. Assisting Mr. and Mrs. Dingman in this new v e n ture will be Mrs. Edna Edwards, who will have charge of the flower end of the business. Other helpers in­ clude Mrs. Marion Link, Mike Snyder and Floyd Shaffer. Mn. Edwards is no newcomer to the flower busi­ ness. She has been making arrangements of perman­ ent flowen since 1958 and for the past three years has also worked with fresh flowen in preparing ar­ rangements. She has lived in this area since 1945. Loren became owner of the South End Food and Beverage approximately six yean ago. He and his wife, Gerry, have always lived in the Nashville area. Both are graduates of the Nashville High School He attended a school for Electronics in De­ troit for a time following his graduation from high school. His growth at South End Food and Beverage is well known to the Nashville residents. He started with groceries, slowly changed the appearance of the store, adding new cooling space and making a larger area available for a more complete line of grocery items. He added a SDD License. Every year he had a complete line of plants, flowen ana vegetables available to his customen. Recently he added shrubs to his list. The opening of this Floral business only adds to the total picture in giving the area residents a complete service. Many fresh tresn cut flowen tiowen will be oe on hand nana and ana avail avail-­ be taken for able, as iwill potted " Jplants. .------ Orden " '------will ----------------wedding arrangements and funeral flowen. Conages will be made. All will be delivered if desired. As an added attraction for the Grand Opening this week-end, a coupon in his advertisement will give a free corsage on Saturday, May 13, for mother. The Grand Opening will take place from Thunday until Saturday, May 11th to 13th. All are invitea to come to the shop and see the arrangements and view the new location. Colon and the variety of flowen used can create moods and styles. Y ears ago people often ordered flowen by the dozen, although now days people us­ ually prefer to have one particularly nice arrange­ ment in one focal point of their home, rather than a bouquet in each room as they tended to yean ago. Women tend to buy more flowen and generally pre­ R ** Mrs. Edna Edwards arranges a floral display for the opening this week of Maple Valley Floral Shop, Loren Dingman, below, is the owner of the shop, ° --News Photo fer delicate colors, while men tend to select strong colors in reds, oranges and yellows. The variety and style of arrangements on display at the Maple Valley Floral would match favorably with those in much larger cities in the area.

Present enjoyable melodrama Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which the Battle Creek Civic Theatre will present at Kellogg Community College May 19 and 20, will prove to be one of the moat enjoyable plays presented by the Civic Theatre this season. The story depicts the delightfully gory life of Sweeny Todd, a barber whose cruel antics lead to the down fall of many a hapless man who comes into h is shop wanting nothing more than a shave or haircut. Instead, he is more than likely to find himself served as a meat pie. What makes this hair-raising old 19th Century melodrama even more enjoyable is the belief that the author, George Dibdin Pitt, based his play on a legend of a demon barber who once was said to have operated soiqirfhere in the vicinity-of Fleet Street, London, b&reference to the legend of a date earlier than the play can be founcL But it seems quite probably that there was such a story as Mr. Pitt usually borrowed the plots of his plays. Pitt is sometimes compared to Shakespeare be­ cause he wrote prolifically but left practically no record of his life except ins plays. One of the first of.all real crime plays, Sweeny Todd, is one of the very few of the many plays by the author which has survived to be played today. And it's no w o n der. Todd, the diabolical demon barber (played by James Copeland) and his accomplice in guilt Mrs. Lovett (played by Mrs. M.C. Mildred Babcock) deserve every boo and hiss they get as they murder one customer after another. But all is not dark, for in the end the hero, sea captain Mark Ingestrie (portrayed by Chris Thorre), saves the day with the help of Tobias Ragg (Steve Lewis). Todd's appren­ tice boy, and the other "good guys. " The melodrama will provide a delightful eve­ ning's entertainment for the whole family. ty. The slodramas Civic Players will be _presenting it as melodramas were done in the ",'good — J oldJ days" around 1890. Beat the, end of the play there tween each act an<id______ gician, can can-­ will be specialty acts featuring a magician, tolcan girls, a barber shop quartet, a very special to' ler skating act, and more. One of the special things to look for during me play is Todd's trick barber chair. There are many suspenseful moments while Todd lures his victims into the chair which drops them down into the vault under the shop. There Mrs. Lovett is kept 106TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE AT EUB The 106th Annual Session of the Michigan Con­ ference of the Evangelical United Brethren church will convene in Lansing May 15 to 19 at the Faith Church, newly mergea EUB-Methodist congrega­ tion.

WILLIAM BITGOOD Phone 3*6 THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 11. 1907 J ��jarm and nnounced ome astern urcpean 3our RUSSIA by Jerry C. Curren iey didn’t know really whether they wanted to go. Gosh, it sounded like a lot of money. And then to be gone for 21 days . . . that’s a long time. But then, “everybody goes to Rome and Paris, so let’s be differ­ ent and take a trip that's really a trip. This year we’re going to Eastern Europe and Russia with Farm and Home." What was this Midwestern couple talking about? They had heard and joined Farm and Home’s most spectacu­ lar tour to date—the granddaddy of all Farm and Home tours — to the magic lands of Russia . . . Poland . . . Rumania . . .Bulgaria . . . Hungary . . . and Holland. Why Holland, it’s not in Eastern Europe; well this tour will have all air transportation arranged by the royalty of international airlines — KLM Royal Dutch Airlines — and naturally KLM wants you to see Amsterdam. When does this "granddaddy of all tours” leave? There will be only one departure date: Tuesday, October 3, the tour will leave via KLM from Kennedy International Air­ port in New York City and 22 days later it will return via KLM to New York. What does this 21-day wonderland excursion of East­ ern Europe cost? Only $1,280.00 from New York and back to New York! This includes your jet airliner trans­ BUDAPEST portation, twin-bedded rooms with private bath at first class hotels (single rooms are $50.00 higher), continen­ tal breakfast and table d’hote throughout except in the Soviet Union where all meals will be included, a multi­ lingual tour conductor and private motorcoach between hotels, airports and while sightseeing. You’ll fly from one major tour city and country to another. Some of the highlights include: Warsaw, Poland where you'll visit Chopin’s birthplace; Moscow, where you’ll visit the Kremlin and spend a full day on a Collective.Farm near Moscow; Leningrad where you'll visit the famous galleries, palaces and cathedrals; Kiev where you’ll visit another Collective Farm and tour this Capital of the Ukraine; then you’ll fly to Bucharest and from there to Sofia in Bulgaria and on to Budapest. Finally, from there to Amsterdam, Holland, where you’ll depart for New York. That’s a sketchy outline of this Eastern European tour. Doesn’t it sound like a dream vacation? Farm and Home only has a limited number of seats available . . . unlike our other tours. These seats will be allocated and sold on a “first come, first served" basis.

Davis, who was North Dakota’s governor for two terms—1957 to 1961, is the second North Dakotan to head the American Legion. The first was Lynn U. Stam­ baugh of Fargo, who was the commander in 1941. Commander Davis, 53, lives in Bismarck where he is in the cattle and banking business. His earlier homes were in McClusky and Goodrich. Bom April 18,1913 in Minneapolis, Minn., Davis spent his boyhood in Goodrich, moving with his family to Fargo where he attended high school for three yfears. His fam­ ily then moved to Bismarck, and it is here that Davis graduated from high school. In 1935 he graduated from the University of North Dakota with a degree in business administration, and then entered the family banking and ranching business in McClusky. Just prior to the start of World War It, Davis was called to active duty as a lieutenant in the Army. He served un­ til the end of the war, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and receiving the Silver Star for his regiment's first combat in Europe. He was also awarded the Purple Heart for a bullet wound he suffered in the leg. Upon return to civilian life, Davis became commander of the American Legion post at McClusky, and subse­ quently commander of the North Dakota Legion. He also served on several national legion committees. He and his wife—the former Pauline Huntley who was a mathematics and music teacher in McClusky before marrying Davis in 1938—have two sons and a daughter. (North Dakota's women lead, too. Mrs. Alvin Moltzen, New Salem, is one of five vice-presidents of the national American Legion Auxiliary.)

Dobson, publisher of the Minot Daily News, became the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order of Elks on July 4, 1966 in Dallas, Tex. (Another North Da­ kota resident—Sam Stem, Fargo—held this high office for the 1952-53 term.) Dobson was bom on a farm in Otter Tail County near Parkers Prairie in Minnesota, and was raised and edu­ cated in Minnesota before moving to North Dakota. He entered newspaper work as a cub reporter, and in manager, and finally publisher. For his outstanding work in the newspaper field, he has received honors from local and national press associations. Active in civic and community affairs all of his life, Dobson is a member of the First Presbyterian Church, the Masons, Shriners, Kiwanis and Minot Country Club. He has served two terms on a state Interracial Council, was chairman of the Red Cross war fund drive, has been president of the Minot Chamber of Commerce, and is on the board of directors of St Joseph's Hospital in Minot Dobson became a member of the Elks in 1923, and was elected exalted ruler of the Minot lodge in 1931. He became a state officer of the Order in 1933, and was active on the state level—state president in 1954—until 1956 when he advanced to the national level of Elk activity. After serving in several national posts, he resigned as a grand trustee to accept the post of Grand Exalted Ruler to which he was unanimously elected last July. Mrs. Dobson, the former Gene Heggen of Minot, ap­ peared with her husband when he was inducted into of­ fice. Also present were the Dobson’s children: a son and a daughter. In his acceptance speech, Dobson told his brother Elks to take as their slogan for the coming year: "Be enthusiastic!

This arrangement gives the tiny railroad about $8,000 yearly, and takes the red ink off the ledger. As a result of this arrangement, the Illinois Midland was able to junk its old engine. A newer model diesel locomotive was located in a factory at Galesburg. It was purchased, painted a vivid yellow. it’s a very informal railroad. When a car of grain is loaded at the Newark Grain Company, one of the company em­ ployes, Lawrence Akre, goes out to the locomotive shed, runs out the diesel and hooks it to the loaded grain car. Then he starts for Millington, two miles distant He’s his own brakeman, gate-opener, track maintenance man, oiler. Each time the little train approaches a highway crossing, engineer Akre gives a warning blast on the whistle, and creeps across. If cattle are grazing in a pasture through which the road runs, he stops the train to operrand close gates. Sometimes a limb falls across the track, another delay. But usually the daily run is made without mishap. There are no train orders, no switching to let another train pass. Sometimes the yellow locomotive pulls but a single loaded grain car. But even that is a profitable operation. The tiny railroad might be too insignificant to even rate listing in railroad journals, but to the farm community 'of Newark it is very important, literally their bread and butter. less than 2 miles long! ILLINOIS FARMERS CLAIM SHORTEST RAILROAD Have you counted the bales you tie? by Grover Brinkman The small farm community of Newark, Illi­ nois boasts the nation's shortest standard gauge railroad, strictly a freight operation, in constant operation since 1917. The Illinois Midland Railroad Company has exactly 1.9 miles of trackage. It starts at New­ ark, rolls through a cow pasture, a wooded -tract, crosses several secondary farm roads, and winds up at the town of Millington. Although the trackage is less than 2 miles, and the road has but a single locomotive — a second-hand orange-coldred diesel — it oper­ ates on a fairly tight schedule—at a profit. The railroad itself, once a community en­ terprise, was later purchased by the Newark Farmers Grain Company. It hauls grain from Newark to Millington, and saves area farmers a sizeable amount in freight bills. The railroad has a contract with the CB&Q to put its grain cars on their siding at Milling­ ton, where the cars join larger trains on this major road, headed, for Chicago markets. If the little orange locomotive of the Mid­ land didn’t make its daily run, it would be necessaiy to truck all area grain to the town of Morris, 25 miles distant, tnen move it via river barge to the Chicago market, rather an expen­ sive process, freight-wise. _ .Originally, the railroad was meant to be a " much longer line. Newark oldsters still remem­ ber back in 1913 when a promoter came to town with a grandiose scheme to give the iso­ lated inland town a railroad connection. He built the short road, collected a lot of money from area farmers and business men on the promise to extend the road to the town of Se­ neca. But one night the man slipped out of town, dollars and all. Since the two-mile railroad had no one to manage it, the farmers who had their money in the trackage and right-of-way leased it to the local grain company in 1922. Twenty years later the grain company purchased it entirely. The little railroad began hauling corn, oats and soybeans to Millington, pulling back load­ ed cars of coal, lumber and fertilizer. ■ But as the years passed, the engines wore “ out, the trackage needed repairing and replace­ ment The operation found itself very much in the red About ready to throw in the towel, officials of the Illinois Agricultural Association heard the woes of the farm railroad and decided to Farmer Glenn Fritz, of Lennox. South Dakota, is one of many farmers who report tying extra bales of hay per bale of Eastman Baler Twine. That's "Scoop* going along for the ride. He's Eastman's expert on twine.

No thoughts are in their heads about the "Shifting Jet Stream" or other explanations for the continued cold weather we've been having. —News Photo NUMBER 51 �BACKSTREET BAROMETER The VFW has instailed a new sign on Main street right at the Coop elevator. The sign lights up bright and yellow to let folks know that the VFW is there and they are open for business. . I have not been past there lately to see bow they are coming with the building, but the last I saw it they were going right along on it. Twenty-four Lions and ladies went out to the Nordia last Saturday night to have dinner. This is one of the annual affairs I look forward to, but this year I couldn't attend the party. My boy, Chris, and I were down in Indy watch­ ing Gordie qualify and hoping Sam would get a chance to get out. 1 got some good pictures of Sam and his car (which is in pieces) and will run them along with a story next week. The mushroom season is upon us again and the mushroom hunters are out crawling through the woods like mad. Mike Appelman took a canoe down the river the other day to pick a few. Mike decided that if he came into an area from the back side (river side) there wouldn't be so many people there to get the mushrooms before be got there. Mike was wrong. He said the people were there before him and got all the big ones. They did leave him a few little fellows though. When Sandy Reid posed for that picture with the big mushroom I asked her where she got it. She was real evasive in her answer. Her father said that like a true mushroom hunter, she wouldn't tell where the really good ones are hiding in the weeds. He said even he didn’t know just where she got it. Mushroom hunters are like fishermen. They re­ fuse to tell the really good spots. You can be sure that if they tell you where to go for mushrooms, it is because they know a place mat is much better then that. I think that they tell you the second, by John boughton third and fourth best spots in order to keep you busy and a long way away from the number one spot. Every year the folks up at Mackinaw City get to­ gether and put on a show depicting the massacre that occurred at the Fort there, back in 1763. They get a bunch of people to play at being In­ dians and a number of the citizens of town play at being the British and they go through the whole massacre again just like the first tune, way back when. This is one time when it would be wise to be on the side of the Indiana, because they are the ones who come out ahead. Actually the Indians pretended to be playing a game of Lacrosse and when one of the players threw the ball into the fort, the whole bunch, both teams, took out after the balL When they got inside the fort, they scalped the people there. It can't be that the Indians do too good a job of it these days, though, because they are going to have the re-enactment of the massacre each day from May 27 through the 30th. If the Indians did a really good job of It they wouldn't have any white men left over for the show the next day. From reading about this thing, I get the idea that the historians are no longer convinced that the In­ dians were the bad guys. There seems to be a feel­ ing that they bad a bit of a reason for wanting their land back. It is a good thing that they don't start plugging for it back now, because there are a lot ofpeople who would gladly give it to them. Maybe they wouldn't do much worse a job of it than we have. At any rate. I'll bet they wouldn't be spoiling the water and the air. Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVIILE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

While most parents do not approve of their chil­ dren watching televwioo too much, to may help them to become good readers. At least that it the concensus of opinion after the 52 students in the sixth grade of the Maple Valley schools at Nash­ ville completed four weeks u«ing the Craig Reading machines under the sunervuion of Mrs. Mildred Hose. It seems that the T. V. watchers pick up the work most easily. The Craig Reading machines are an electric screen with a shutter which moves down the page at various speeds. The speed for reading can be c o n trolled by the student, and gradually increased as the child becomes more accustomed to reading phrases. Too many young readers read word by word. The purpose of the machines is to teach the eye to move rapidly from left to right and to read phrases ^and groups of words. There are two speed settings on these machines. The tachistoscope setting is for flash viewing of numbers or words along with short sentences. This includes welling practices and vocabulary work. Some of the numbers are in columns and some are staggered from the left to the right. This quick viewing trains the eye muscles to move back and forth rapidly. A shutter can be opened to view and check each page that has just passed. On the reading setting these is a control knob. This keeps the line shutter moving at the same meed. They start at a comfortable speed and then gradu­ ally can be increased, as the child tries to keep comprehension high at the same time. At the end of each story questions are answered to see how well the student can comprehend and remember the story. There are five machines in use and are owned by the school. It is possible to get each student to un­ derstand the use of the machine in a little over an bout. With the machines in use four days a week each student gets a chance to use the machine three or four times a week. The response has been enthusiftStic. The students also work on another individual read­ ing program, the Science Research Associates, when they are not using a Craig machine. Special recognition to be given Recognition will be given to students with out­ standing scholastic records as members of the fac­ ulty of Maple Valley High School plan for an Hon­ ors Night Thursday, May 25th at the high school This is the first year for such a special program and the arrangements for the program are being ta­ ken care of by Mrs. Elbert Carpenter.

Main, Nashville Firmi aake plus far HomecomlNg festival In village council action Thursday night the Nash­ ville officials approved installation of a new street light on Reed street near the railroad crossing and another on East street near Lakeview cemetery. The fire board, made up of representatives of the Maple Grove and Castleton townships and the v i 1 lage of Nashville, was granted $250. Because of the extremely meager pay the volunteer fire 'depart­ ment members receive, it is quite probable 'the three governing bodies will set up a bigger bucket in the future to improve this situation. Presently the firemen are paid $3.00 each for the first hour and $1.00 an hour for the remaining hours they are on a fire call As one Nashville councilman said, "I wouldn't get out of bed on a cold winter night for that kind of money. " The council voted $100 toward Christmas decor­ ations. This will be used with the $400 the Chamber of Commerce has provided. Approval was given the Nashville Volunteer Fire department to use the west end of Washington street for the annual Home Coming Festivities. The tenta­ tive dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 22. 23 and 24. The council voted to accept the maintainence contract with the Michigan Sure Highway depart­ ment for M-66 running through Nashville’s Main street The officials are asking motorists and drivers of motorcycles not to use the alleys for through traffic, but to restrict their driving to the regular streets throughout the village. The township officials of Castleton and Maple Grove townships and the village council are still working on ambulance service for the Nashville area, but no final decisions have been reached. Plans are being completed for Mayor Exchange Day on Monday, May 22, when Potterville's mayor Kenneth Fry, and wife, will visit Nashville.

Ton­ kin is an account of this year's Maple Syrup Associ­ ation activity and should prove to be interesting to the area residents. Well, after a nectrc two weeks ot meetings, visits to installations around Michigan, we had the new gas burners installed, the new gas stove installed, the cleaning and painting done and were ready to re­ ceive the sap when it ran. Most of the drive for the actual selection of the gas burners came from Jim, Harold and Fred and I just backed him up. March 13. We boiled two good gallons with the new gas jets.. whoopee. Slightly burned the first batch. We learned that we must carry the level high­ er than ever before. March 14. Started boiling at 10 a. m. and finish­ ed at 11 p. m. Sixty four gallons of syrup. We must carry the sap level higher than ever before and gen­ erally take off more then. Each time we start up we must, after about one half hour, draw off a couple of gallons of near syrup from center pan and throw it into the second or third pan from the raw sap. May­ be twice or three times to get it circulating. When the opposite looks reasonably light we are m busi­ ness. We found we could take off tonight about ev­ ery 35 to 45 minutes. Color Is excellent. March 15. Cold. No sap to boil. Pipes frose slight­ ly. We thawed. No breakage. March 16. Bought supplies, delivered syrup to stores who sell it without profit to themselves. Depos­ ited $46.00. March 17. Cold, didn't boil. We sold syrup. March 18. Cleaned up a bit and sold syrup. Harold donated lumber and he and Jim built a storage clos­ et out of the old coal bin. Shelves and everything including lock. All you have to do around here late­ ly is ask for it and you get it. Earl put up the beau­ tiful hex sign that was given to us by Jane and Jerry. Duane did a fine job on the work chart. Marie Christiansen has died. We are sick about it. We will just have to carry Harold's end of the load. March 19. Sunday; Started boiling at 1 o'clock and quit at 5:40. Boiled about 45 gallons. It didn't want to circulate as usual for the fiat two hours. About 200 visitors were given samples. We sold the syrup hot and the people just stood around and wait­ ed for it. Then we ran out of gallon cam and then out of sap. March 20. Monday. Jane and I cleaned, as we ex­ pected the state inspector to come any day. And it was a sticky mess from Sunday. Jim and Ed went to Lansing for supplies. I deposited $486. 52. Burners and stove are paid for and with what we have left over we have $526. 52. March 21. Tuesday. Jim and I rearranged the shanty a bit and counted the spiles and checked sap as it was brought in. I called and got workers. De­ livered syrup. Hot water heater is very uncoopera­ tive. After work Earl came and fixed it. When the season is over we will change it over to the natural gM. March 22. Wednesday. Norm and Barbara came and helped boiL The pipe bringing in the sap to pan started to leak and had to have the pipe replac­ ed while we were boiling. We found that the tin quart and pint cam were defective and each had to be washed of solder additive. Barbara took some of - them back after dinner and had them replaced with glass. We took off 85 gallons from 11:45 a. m. to 12:05 p. m. March 23. Thursday. 1 got Helen to help make it spick and span. Sure enough the inspector came about 11 a. m. Jim was there, too. We got a nice report from him. Really gave me a boost. We do have to paint the outside tank this summer. I n respect to weights, we ran as much as 6 ounces over on the gallons and on down. We had one pint and one half-pint 1/8 ounce under. Not counting that quart that some very funny joker put just an ounce in and sealed it ana put.it on the counter with the rest. Needless to say the inspector would-pick that one up. He had quite a riot telling of jailing thevice-president and etc., of the Nashville Maple Syrup Association along with one trustee of said or­ ganization as well as being Mayor of the town, for cheating on weight. Thank goodness it was such a small amount he knew it was a joke. I'll admit I sweat for a few minutes, and I would have loved to put a hex on the person who did it. One shut-off came unsoldered from the boil pan and Earl solder­ ed it that night after work. . March 24. Friday. Both of them stuck and then broke off. and Wally and I had to do some fancy dipping or we woula have burned the boil-off pan. They stuck when we were taking off syrup. The one we usually take out stuck and broke off and we made a quick grab for a screw driver. It didn't budge. (Afterwards we tried to switch with cold one It broke off too). Wc quit and George will solder it in the morning. Boy, what suction! Then we hur­ riedly dipped the syrup over into the boil off pan. It reminded me of the story of the saintly old lady who had only to ask and the Lord seemed to grant her prayers. Joshua, her son said, "Maw, bow come that He answers your prayers but he don't pay no count to mine? She replied, "You ain't praying enuf son, praying a lot gives you a lot of suction. " -------------.... ---------■-------. ...jabouj Jerry went,--------------for cans today. I worried all night having to rush to Lans! ---- *ng new shutoffs - ~ on Saturday ,------------------if these well. Easter weekend too, and they close at noon on Saturday. I deposited $109. 75, now have $637. 27. Bills are paid as they come in. The stores bring their money tn for deposit. Saturday Morning. March 25. I've been calling ■ for workers since early morning before the men go By VALERIA TONKIfl, V*ce Pres, Maple Syrup Association, Nashville to work. 1 haven't got them yet. It's warm. Sap is coming in like heck. I called Carl Thrun at Ver­ montville and they were nice enough to lend us a couple of shutoffs in case ours get too much suction again. I'have Wayne coming at noon to start boil­ ing. Jim got nervous and started the fire, trusting that I would barrel down there. I did. Everything went all right and I got it circulating. 1 now know that in a pinch I could get them circulating just as Norm does even with this hot gas. Wayne came ear­ ly and I didn't have to take off. I had a dozen oth­ er things on my mind anyway. Still haven't got workers for around the clock and we are going to have to do it. Saturday afternoon. It's a madhouse down here. Boy Scouts, Firemen, farmers, visitors and so forth. I finally got workers after burning up the telephone. It's the Easter weekend that has made it so hard. Then boiling around the clock too. It would be nice if I could s< lule a week in advance or even a day in advance, but the weather does not cooperate. Saturday evening--! just-hap­ pened to have a dozen eggs up there seeing it's Easter Eve and Don and Phyllis, Larry and I just dropped them in die take off pan. I dashed up town for butter for use with keeping the foam down and you know what else. When I get back the eggs are done. No maple flavor except from our fingers when we shell them. I never saw eggs taste so good. I will keep this night in my memory. I hope that I can include a lot of preachers and teachers in on this deal after Easter is over. It helps their organi­ zations and such wonderful fellowship. Two years ago I had a Fox and a Wolfe work together one night. Easter Morning. March '26. I got up and went to Sunrise service, ate breakfast and was down there to see how Dick was coming at 9:00. I met Wally and his son just going home. Bless them. I assisted him until help came on at noon. Nearly ran out of sap due to poor timing on the part of the firemen and boy scouts pickup. The pails are running over. I was very fed up. The visitors and buyers are /flocking in. Will I have to boil water so they can see how it works? Doug finally got his dinner guests to help pick up sap and bailed us out. The shanty is flHed with a continuous run of visitors. Mrs.HamUton and two of her Future Homemakers are help­ ing at the counter. We sell the syrup to them a t half price and they then make it into sugar and sen it down here. They make a real tidy sum this way. They helped with washing windows and gen­ eral cleaning when we opened up too. Between 200 and 300 visitors went through. I try to explain or have explained to them how this process comes a­ bout. It is still fascinating to me as it is to them. We have such an exceUent facility here now. I know that I am forgetting to teH many of the things that people have done and about the sincere inter” est shown here this year. None of us do it for honor or glory anyway and if they do, I am afraid they are going to be disappointed. If we have a good year the community will profit in many ways and that is what we ate interested in. " Monday, March 27. Deposited $675; 05. Total on hand before was $1142. 27, now it is $1, 780.69. Jim and I boiled for a few hours. We can do it alonel I couldn't seem to get a preacher. We did a lot of cleaning and business. I couldn't seem to get a teacher either. x Tuesday, March 28. Earl, Jim and I boiled for a while in the evening. Lawrence and Earl have surely sold a lot of syrup down to Kelloggs. There is not much sap coming in. Wednesday, March 29. Bob and Bill boiled in evening. It's slowing up. It had better freeze soon. I have a bet on with a guy and if it doesn't freeze soon I am going to lose. It's a good thing it's only for fifty cents. Thursday, March 30. We didn't boil, but did many things. Friday, March 31. I had to be out of town so Jim and Helen boiled. Now Jim'knows he can do it without me. Helen is ready to take off too. Now we need just two more women to learn the whole bit and the women can take the hard-to-getmen shifts. Saturday, April 1. It's too warm. The sap busi­ ness is through. Being tight, I borrowed milk cans from John and brought 25 gallon near-syrup home. It was not as near as I tliought. I brought the hy­ drometers and the filters too. It took me all day but I made 6 gallons. I need my head examined. Let me see, 6 times 7 equals 42 dollars that is gen­ erally thrown away. My house is sticky. I hate to get the electric buL My husband will probably blow his suck. Sunday, April 2. We were open on Sunday. I had a sore ankle and suyed home. Helen and Ben help­ ed Jim sell syrup. Monday, April 3. Deposited $366. 25. Toul on hand $2,156. 24. Back on band after dinner. Jim in­ sists he can boil oft the rest of the half syrup now that we have 4 shutoffs. When I got there he had shut oft the back pans and drawn off all the syrup or half-syrup from the front pans into pails to be put in the back pans as it boiled down. He filled the front pans with water. We boiled for 3 hours. It's getting to sheet off in 3 pans and about 10 minutes before it will be ready in the boil-off pan. Whoa. We turn off burners--draw off into pails all from the ba c k pans leaving center pan shut off. We open opposite shutoffs and run to water into back pans also now. Now we start boiling again. We pour the sticky stuff aallom Let's see. even if it is slightly dark, 8 times 1 equals $56. 00 which is generally thrown a­ way. I thought I was tight, but I now really know a Scotch Irishman. It is dark, but it tastes good. Tuesday. April 4. Got some syrup for two people. Lawrence, my husband has been so helpful through this service to out community. 1 have tried to see that he has had good meals and everything, but he had to get them sometimes when Shelley wasn't home. He would be down here also, but the steam does bad things to his sinus. He went down to our daughter, Sandra's home for Easter. It's the first time our whole family hasn't been together. Far­ mers are mostly 'paid off in syrup. We boil f o r them for half. Tney take their payment in syrup. We also charge five cents each rent for pails. You have to be a mathematician to figure all this busi­ ness up. We are not sure whether we will pay the Boy Scouts $1. 50 as was done in the past as far as we can find out or $1. 60. It's according to how we come out. Wednesday. April 5. Jim and some helpers built a cover for the gas meter. Saved about $60 by doing it himself. He used his own scrap lumber for most of it. We concluded to give away the old wood in back and when finances permitted, we would en­ close the back. Then it could serve for a storage place so the pails etc., would not have to be put up in the attic. I deposited $55. 00. Total $2,175. 69. The stores which are Kelley . Douse and the South End, as well as the bank, just bring in money when they have it, as well as that taken in at the bank, so mat is why my figures won't balance, but we will all come our right in the end. I hope the people who were not worked in so they could work, are not hurt. It is so hard to work their schedule with ours. Cooperation has been very good. Next year, now ' that we are used to the gas burners, we should e n courage the person in charge of taking off the syrup to have his helper take off a couple of times too, so that we can have a lot of syrup masters. April 9. Mrs. Shafer brought 60 students, 4 teach­ ers and one room mother to visit us. We served syr­ up, explained it all to them, boiled water so they would understand the process. They were lovely children. Helen came down and helped me. Speak­ ing of giving, we have given to Jim 4 gallons f o r the Mayor Exchange and 1 1/2 gallons to Earl for the Boy Scout Banquet. They are also giving me what would be equivalent to a gallon of syrup a day, when we'boiled. Which was 14 times. About 10 hours a day. The rest of my time was donated. A­ bout 70 to 90 hours were donated. This gift to me amounted to about 70£ per hour. May 3. Wehave been doing sundry things. We had a meeting tonight. We voted to give me Boy Scouts and Firemen each $238. 30 for the sap they brought in. That is $1. 60 per gallon. They will re­ ceive money from the work chart also. They will be paid next week. We are coming out very well for such a short season. We have tried to run this like a good business. It has helped to have Frank in the Bank to help us. Total now $2,479. 69. The Fu­ ture Homemakers made $104. 00 selling candy. Our gas bill was $247. 71. We are giving a bit of syrup to the workers for a thank you. I hope someone will volunteer to take my office next year as it badly needs a coordinator as I have tried to be.

C, C. Gibson and George Vogt at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. In 1909, the Rev. Gibson was pastor of the Nash­ ville Evangelical church. In 1912 he was returned to Detroit, and served the Waterman church for seven years. They built a new church, but the next day, Mr. Gibson was transferred to Flint, so didn't give a sermon from the new church. He served in Flint three years, and was sent back to Detroit, where he stayed four more years. He was a presiding elder in the Detroit district for eight years, and financial secretary-treasurer of the De­ troit Conference for five years. He served fifteen years at a Mission church on the East side of Detroit, where a new church was built. In 1965 Rev. and Mrs. Gibson moved back to Nash­ ville, and campaigned to build a new addition to the Evangelical United Brethren Church. In 1957 he retired, but very frequently gives the message on Sunday at both the North and South Maple Grove churches, and give his 10th Mothers Day sermon this He was in the ministry for sixty years, and retired at age 72. He has married couples of the second and third generation over his long span of service. Rev. Gibson was a member of the Chamber of Commerce for three years in Nashville. He was on the State Council of Churches, later on the Board of Directors, secretary of a special committee which formulated the Michigan Council of Churches and Christian Education, organized in Detroit. George Vogt is a Past Master in the Masonic Lodge, a member of the Laurel Chapter of the Eastern Star, #31, treasurer of the Evangelical United Brethren church, and teaches the Home Builders Class in Sun­ day school. He is also third vice-president of the Barry County OES. Commander William Root congratulates George Vogt and Rev. C. C. Gibson, after naming them as Nasnville's outstanding Citizens of the Year. He is serving his second year as president of the Chamber of Commerce, is a past president of the Lions Club and was on the committee who worked on the zoning ordinance in Nashville. Before coming to Nashville in 1958, George was township clerk for sixteen years and village clerk for two years in Dansville. He was acting Postmaster for ten months. He is a 1941 graduate of Wayne State University in the school of Mortuary. The visiting Mayor and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Fry, were treated so a ride in the Model T fire truck during their visit here Monday. The Rev. James Varner, Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith, and BUI Helse], driver, are shown with the visitors. --News Photo �BACKSTREET BAROMETER CONGRATULATIONS DEPARTMENT Congratulations are in order to a whole bunch o f people around our town. In the first place we should all congratulate Duane Mishler on the opening of his new appliance repair business. We all wish him a great big bunch a success. Duane has shown us that he has faith in the growth of our village. Welcome aboard, Duam_ Much success. Congratulations are in order also to the Rev. C. G Gibson and to George Vogt They were both honor­ ed by the VFW, who voted them the outstanding citizens of 1966 and presented them with awards. The awards were to be presented at the Chamber meeting a month ago. Everyone was set for itt and' , just at the last minute, just before they annou announced the award winners, George got an ambulance call and took off. In view of the fact that one of the recipients was not there, the VFW decided on the spot to put off the presentation until the next meeting. So they told everyone at the meeting, including Mr. Gibson, to keep quiet and not tell George. This has got to be the best kept secret in town. Everyone knew for a month that George was to get the award, but no one told him. It came as a com­ plete surprise to him. Gladys Richardson even got the picture in advance by telling George that the VFW wanted him to pre­ sent the award to Mr. Gibson. When the picture was taken George thought he was contratulating Mr. Gib­ son. Really they were congratulating each other. Mr. Gibson knew the true circumstances but the Reverand gentleman went along with the deception, probably on the grounds that not everyone should know everything at all times. Congratulations to both gentlemen... They both deserve the* honor. Jim Erwin and the street crew have made Central Park a thing of beauty. They have planted shrubs (purchased with money from the civic improvement fund) and have done a lot of work and provided a lot of crushed stone to dress the place up.

" The store windows in Nashville were all dressed up for Mayor Exchange Day and Michigan Week. The Far'Uy Store, whicn always had a nice win­ dow, has a particularly good one this week. They have a display of books for children with a bunch of things that tie in with them, using the theme "The Old Days and New Books". A part of the display includes three pictures by Eunice Priddy. As I uy, the Family Store always has a nice win­ dow. I don't think people realize now much time goes into the planning and the actual work of decor­ ating a window such as they do. The ladies of the Garden Club decorated the win­ dow of the old Teener building. That makes an emp­ ty store look a lot better than just a bare window. Rev. Gibson has a display of rocks in the window of the Douse Drug store and Juanita Wilson has fixed up a display of baby clothes in the window of the Baby Bliss building. All of this makes our town look that much better to the visitors. Douse Drug Store (C.

Mooce, Jr. of Nashville, has been a­ warded a certificate after attending a sales and service school of the Hudson Profi-Matic Division held at Frankenmuth. Michigan. The main sub­ ject was how automatic systems for feeding and watering stock reduce hand labor and increase a farmer's efficiency. Among the new farm equipment shown at the school was the Profi-Matic cattle feeding system. This system automatically conveys feed from a silo or bulk bin and automatically distributes it in to feed bunks at the rate of 24 feet a minute. It will distribute feed to 300 cattle in about 13 min­ utes. Feed stays in the same proportion from one end of the system to the other. Low power re­ quirements are said to be another important fea ture of this system.’ Other equipment shown and demonstrated in­ cluded dairy barn equipment; equipment for the farrowing, feeding and finishing of hogs; electric ventilation equipment.

Mrs. Roger Flanigan was organist for the worship service in the sanctuary, with Mrs. Arthur Dodge giving devotions entitled, "The Family As a Wit­ ness. p The speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Howard Bigelow of Kalamazoo, continued with her theme of "Family Laving," with particular thought on how Bp a local church or church women working together could find ways of strengthening the family. Mrs. Bigelow has gathered much wisdom and prac­ tical knowhow in her yean of living and learning about families, and she feels that teaching ano counselling in this field is her way of contribution. She works with groups in churches and community, and much of her time is centered around the Fam­ ily Life House of the Portage Human Concerns Council. She is able to give insights about learning how to live in a family, but her teaching is not aimed at information-giving, but at growth or change on one point at a time. There is no one set pattern today for families to follow. Above all, people going into a marriage need adaptability and openness of mind. They should be people who are not easily shaken by change, who are mature, that is: able to make their own decisions and to live with the results. She also emphasized that people and relationships al­ ways- come ahead of any piece of behavior. Mrs. Bigelow's warmth, good humor, and wise in­ sights brought a great deal of appreciative response in personal comments to her from her audience.

Latest research has shown how sow feed costs can be cut by limiting the feed. The key is to limit the energy intake but not the vital nutrition. With past feeding practices, this has been difficult to do. The problem is being sure that every sow gets her fair share of the proteins, vitamins and minerals needed to build large litters of pigs with vitality.

The 65 students of the upper classes in the Maple Valley high school have been actually "baby sitting" with some 40 pre-school children who have been at­ tending the two-hour sessions held both mornings and afternoons. Both the students and the "small fry" are thoroughly enjoying the experience. Some of the students Have younger brothers or sisters at home they have cared for, but many have not. But they all admit they meet some "problems" not covered by the textbooks. Mrs. Olith Hamilton, class advisor says it's no problem at all to attract the small children to attend the sessions. In fact, for a few of the pre-schoolers it is their second year attending such classes. During the two hour baby-sitting sessions, the stu­ dents prepare a snack for the tiny tots. They play games, read stories, and even occasionally referee a dispute when the occasion arises. The students find it is also necessary to watch the door, so none of their "charges" can duck out to tour the building In one picture, the little tots are shown washing up--it’s lunch time. The high school students are Charles Dies, Jim Spicer, Judy Richter and Darlene Lind, and the pre-schoolers are Cindy Murphy and Sandy Downing. —Photo by Gladys Richardson Jackson Duraclean Specialist Owner and Operated by EUGENE & DONNA SPIDEL Shown with the toys on the floor; The high school students are Jim Spicer and Dave Stairs, and the lit­ tle kids are Richie Elliston, Colleen Gibbs, Charlie Rinehart and Terry Pierce. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Kalama Village Ordinance regulates burning MRS.

Out for a ride in your car you munch on a candy bat or finish up a pack of cigarettes or maybe you take care of kid's leaky nose with a tissue. Sowhat do you do with the paper debris? Throw is in the waste basket. "The what?" you ask. Well, maybe you one of those people who didn't have the foresight to put one of those little litter buckets astride of that floor hump in front And maybe you didn't think to hang a plastic litter-bag on one of the door handles or to bring along a pa­ per sack to stuff under the seat Okay, let's try another one. What did you do when you finished smoking that lung cancer stick? "Tliat’s easy, " you answer. "I ground it out in one of the car ash trays. Wouldn't want to start a fire by tossing it out the car window. Credit for putting ash trays in all automobiles as standard equipment has to be given to a character known as Smokey Bear who made our entire nation fire-conscious. No auto manufacturer would have §one to the extra expense to include ash trays . i f le public hadn't demanded it first. Maybe the time has come to begin demanding waste baskets in can, too, as standard equipment. It stands to reason that the motorist is going to have a certain amount of disposable trash almost every time he drives his car. Why shouldn't he have a place to put it--one that he knows is there so he can form the habit of putting trash there? We are firmly convinced that the average Amer­ ican is as proud of his car as he is of his home. Off­ hand, we can't think of anybody who makes a hab­ it of throwing trash on the floor at home; that's why we have wastebaskets. ' We are just as firmly convinced that a lack of waste baskets in can, coupled with this same neat­ ness, is what caused many motorists to toss their trash out car windows. Wnat else can they do with it, other than drop it on the floor? To do this goes against basic home habit. At best, those litter buckets are frequently kick­ ed over and litter bags have a nasty habit of tear­ ing, thus spilling train all over a car's interior. Automobile manufacturers are not about to in­ stall permanent, out-of-the-way but easy-to emp­ ty wastebaskets in can unless there is a strong de­ mand from the public, even though the cost would not be great. So why shouldn't we start in right now and de­ mand it? Across the United States, ONE-HALF BILLION DOLLARS is spent every year in Cleaning up trash alongside highways. Here in Michigan, $300,000 of your tax money is spent for this purpose every year. _* _• . ' Maybe you enjoy paying these "throw-away' taxes. We don't! Let's try a little experiment. Lay your hand out flat and spread your fingers a­ part. Now, imagine that someone cut off all your fingets. Your hand wouldn't be very useful, would it? We have used this to illustrate a very real prob­ lem that is happening too often all over northern Michigan. Only thing, it isn't with hands and fin ■ gers but concerns trout streams and their tributary creeks. Those tributaries are the places where trout spawn; they will also be all-important if newly-in­ troduced salmon are to spawn successfully. These are the nurseries of a highly important Michigan fishery. Michigan's water laws are, unfortunately, very lax and this has allowed dam building on these trib­ utaries at an almost uncontrolled rate. Hundreds of these watery "fingers" ate being cut off each year by dam* which are being built for one purpose or another. The main streams just cannot carry the fish-producing load alone. In addition, every time another dam is built and waters are backed up, the actual water quality un­ dergoes changes when it is eventually allowed to flow on downstream. A dam slows up the current and prevents the "flushing action" of high spring flow which scours out stream bottoms and exposes spawning gravel A slow-moving stream is a mud­ dy stream and has warmer water. A bill (S. 259) has been introduced into the Mich­ igan Legislature to provide for the issuance of per­ mits before any dam may be built on any Michigan stream. The Conservation Department would be charged with responsibility to make careful inspec­ tions of the proposed site to determine whether fish­ eries resources might be damaged by such construc­ tion. “ ’■ Realizing that landowners frequently have need for small ponds, plans would be provided which would allow by-passing of pan of the water into a pond on one side, while keeping the main stream how uninterrupted. Thus, both landowners and fishermen would get a break. The State Soil Conservation Committee and the State Department of Agriculture both aided the -------- “------------- “ bm.

"The Buckstones, " by Paul Wellman of the days of Andy Jackson and the battle of New Orleans. This is the last novel of Paul Wellman's and completed just before his death. It is a novel that is colorful and also historicaL "Sin, Sex, and Self Control, " by Norman Vincent Peale. Dr. Peale's book will be eagerly read by mor­ ally confused people of all ages who want to know what to do with their lives and how they can do it. Recommended by Bishop Fred Pierce Carson, presi­ dent of The World Methodist Council, and other no­ ted theologians. . .

H. Lawlor, Manager of Consumers Power Com­ pany’s Lansing Divfion. "Michigan in Motion" joins two other films which will provide over one hundred school systems in the sute with a complete record of progresr from the ice age through the space age.

Premiere of the film Friday, May 19, at Consumea Power Company Service Center, Lansing, was held in observance of Michigan Week ceremonies, Mr. Lawlor said. More than 500,000 youngsters and adults have viewed each of the first two films in which history comes alive through drawings, sketches, maps and other illustrations of the period. The final film uses old motion picture footage gleaned from historical filet across the country. Mr. Lawlor said "Michigan in kjotion" is available on loan to schools and other interested organizations upon request to his office. Dr. Wendell C. Bassett, Executive Director of the Michigan Council of Churches, will be the speaker on Sunday, June 4, at the Nashville Evangelical U­ nited Brethren Church. On that day the church will celebrate its "Notebuming", signifying the final payment for the recent addition. Dr. Bassett was born in Nashville and returned to past the former Evangelical Church here from 1938 to 1942. He was elected to a superintendency in the present Evangelical United Brethren Church, Michi­ gan Conference, in 1955, and to his present position with the sute Council of Churches in 1965. Before entering the ministry, he worked for Reo Motors as a factory engineer. Dr. Bassett will use as his title at the 10 a. m. ser­ vice, "To Live the Gospel". “Why Sund Idle?" will be his topic in the 4 p. m. notebuming service.

Now for the first time it's easy, practical and economi• cal to apply new scientific feeding information to the brood sow herd. The Perfect Gift Latest research has shown how sow feed costs can be cut by limiting the feed. The key is to limit the energy intake but not the vital nutrition. With past feeding practices, this has been difficult to do. The problem is being sure that every sow gets her fair share of the proteins, vitamins and minerals needed to build large litters of pigs with vitality. The Wayne Sow Blox program assures all sows of their daily needs without producing unwanted fat and high feed cost. Blox . .. and a mighty big 3 pounds. It furnishes an abundance of proteins, vitamins, and minerals . . . enough to moot the most critical daily needs of a CITIZENS ELEVATOR CO. AT VERMONTVILLE OR NASHVILLE for Your Graduate!

The mark of a good camper is to leave a camp clean. Tin cans, paper, bottles and other trash just don't belong in the kind of place where most folks like to camp. They should not be left to clutter up the area when you break camp. There's sort of a two-way street involved here. The fellow who leaves his camp site clean sets an exam­ ple for the next camper. And even though the two never meet, the outgoing camper will unknowingly win the respect of the incomer. Michigan is endowed with a number of beautiful camping areas and every effort is made to keep them beautiful. This cannot be an exclusive job for the state or federal group usually in charge. The respon­ sibility must be shared by every person who uses these areas. These are for the public's enjoyment—to give everyone who wants to, and can take advantage of them, the opportunity to spend a few days and nights in the open away from the busy bustle of day-to-day living. Treat these areas as though they belonged to you—for that is exactly what they do. Even though a sute of federal agency may handle the upkeep, you pay the bill in one way or another. Treat the area you camp in as if it were your own front yard at home. Leave it as clean as you found it--cleaner if possible. Put your tin cans and other cast-offs in one place. Whenyou are ready to break camp, throw everything but glass into the fire. Paper and food remnants will burn. Even the cans will lose their rust-proof tin and their labels. When the cans cool off, mash them flat and bury them unleas a trash container is available. In this case, use the container. Don't dump your trash down outdoor toilets, either. Whatever you do, please don't throw your excess tin cans, bottles, garbage and other trash into that pretty little stream or lake. And don't pitch it back into the bushes. In either case, it will show up later on when another camper finds it. Spare the trees and wild flowers near your camp site. The other fellow who will follow you will enjoy these as much as you did if you leave them inuct Wild flowers are usually very difficult to transplant and will likely die before you could get them home, anyhow. Let them thrive in their own habitat. Above all, watch your fire! Soak your campfire thoroughly with water when leaving the area, then check it again for that final, faint ember. By thinking of the other fellow you will actually enjoy your camping trip more. -Doing unto others a s you would have them do unto you is more than a cas­ ual motto. . , Production levels raised A report of milk production levels attained b y dairy cows in area herds has been received from Holstein-Friesian Association of America. The ac­ tual food productipn output, under official testing rules, by these local Registered Holsteiiis is: Hulong Baron Sadie 4685510, a seven-year-old, produced 22,510 lbs. of milk and 868 lbs. of but­ terfat in 365 days. Hulong Baron Sue Goldie, 551094, a four-year-old, had 16,480 lbs. of milk and 802 lbs. of butterfat in 365 days. Hulong Sen­ sation B. Bonnie 5766050, a two-year-old, had 18,440 lbs. of milk and 711 lbs. of butterfat in 365 days. Hulong Pontiac Kate 5681151, a threeyear-old, had 17, 350 lbs. of milk and 649 lbs. of butterfat in 305 days. Hulong Baron Jean 4685505, a nine-year-old, had 17, 550 lbs. of milk and 764 lbs. of butterfat in 302 days. All are owned by Hubert Long, Woodland. These new production figures may be compared to the estimated annual output of 8, 513 lbs. of milk and 315 lbs. of butterfat by the average US dairy cow, notes the national Holstein Association. Michigan State University supervised the samp­ ling, weighing and testing operations in coopera­ tion with the Holstein organization's herd and breed improvement programs. Inquiries received about combined Art Group 4 A number of requests for information have come to the News Office in regard to the formation of a combined community art group between Nashville and Vermontville. There seems to be enough inter­ est along this line to think seriously about the for­ mation of a Maple Valley Art Group. Last fall an art class was offered in Vermontville on Wednesday evenings, through the Olivet College Continuing Education series. Residents of both com­ munities were enrolled in the class. The class held last vear at the Maple Valley High School also had residents from both communities attending. , Vermontville does not have an organized art group and although Nashville had had one for many yean, it is no longer an active organization. If there was enough interest in forming a combined art group, it would include all areas of interest, from those who paint, want classes and those who are interested in crafts and hobbies and also those who desire lectures along these interest levels in painting, drawing, sculpture or ceramics, etc. Certainly, the first step in continuing along these lines of endeavor, is the formation of a group of in­ terested persons. To aid this, those interested are asked to fill in the accompaning coupon and return it to the News office in Nashville. If there was e­ nough response, a meeting could be arranged and plans formulated for the organization of such a group.

Sam, an excellent driver, has not had the chance to show what he could do on the big track. Once in the big race he just might show the others out there a lot of the back end of his car. For two yean, though, the can he was going to drive just were not ready to go out on the track. Last year, before Sam could really get to drive the car, the clutch went on the fritz and it could not be repaired in time to get it out to qualify. Thu year Sam had a real unusual car. It was a beautiful California job with front-wheel drive and all four wheels steered. Again though, he ran into trouble. Before Sam ever got to drive the car on the Indy track it developed trouble and it never was put in shape for the qualifying run. This must be the toughest kind of defeat for Sam. Had he got into the race and been beaten by the rest of the field he would at least have had a chance. Sam can accept defeat. From talking to him I know that if he loses a race after he has given his very best, he can accept the fact philosophically with the remark that there is always another race coming up. Sam has won a lot of races in his day but he nas lost some too and he knows that you don't win every day. It must be tough for him though to accept defeat without ever getting on the track. I was in the garage the first day of qualifying and talked to Sam. At that time he still had hopes of getting out with the car. The mechanics were working on it and asking Sam's advice on just how somethin should be done. pictures down there--Sam just lookI took rese ,. ing at the workings of the car and one of the meclianics talking to Sam about some adjustment he was making. ” -• ------ » There isWalways another year, and perhaps then Sam will get into the big race. News /tn Editorial Few of us know much about the other fellow's business and most of us as­ sume the other fellow knows all about ours. Most of us look at the man across the street qrtdowq the block and think that he really has it made. He does not work vew hard and he is getting rich. ■, Most people know nothing about the working of a newspaper. They read the paper and enjoy it and that is really all they care. This u not good or bad -­ it is just a fact of life. Many of the folks who read the paper do not know. the.difference between an ad and news. Often people call up with what they describe as an ad, but which is really a news story. Sometimes they call up with a news story that is an ad. Again, this is not good or bad. We do not expect others to be ex­ perts in the terminology of a newspaper. The person who runs the newspaper though, must know the difference be­ tween news and ads. The news is there because the ads are there. In other words, the news is being paid for by those who advertise. It is just like tele­ vision. The news is the program, the ads are the commercials. You are able to read the local news because the folks who are advertising are providing this news for you. An incident occurred this week and we feel our position in the matter should be made clear. An advertisement was entered in our newspaper by an organization. When the statement for payment was given, a portion of the amount was paid and the comment was made about the balance, "Thank you for your donation. " We returned the original bill stating we felt the entire amount should be prop­ erly paid. K We are a community service; however, we are a business and as such must operate as a business.

A number of requests for information have come to the News Office in regard to the formation of a combined community art group between Nashville and Vermontville. There seems to be enough inter­ est along this line to think seriously about the for­ mation of a Maple Valley Art Group. Last fall an art class was offered in Vermontville on Wednesday evenings, through the Olivet College Continuing Education teries. Residents of both com­ munities were enrolled in the class. The class held last year at the Maple Valley High School also had residents from both communities attending. Vermontville does not have an organized art group and although Nashville had had one for many years, it is no longer an active organization. If there was enough interest in forming a combined art group, it would include all areas of interest, from those who paint, want classes and those who are interested in crafts and bobbies and also those who desire lectures along these interest levels in painting, drawing, sculpture or ceramics, etc. Certainly, the first step in cont.nuing along these lines of endeavor, is the formation of a group of in­ terested persons. To aid this, those interested are asked to fill in the accompaning coupon and return it to the News office in Nashville. If there was e­ nough response, a meeting could be arranged and plans formulated for the organization of such a group. 1 Name ____________ Address Interested in formation of a Maple Valley Would help on art show THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1967 no �HHAFT BlADtCU’ ^icrt.

You’ll ‘ leave New York for 21 days in Poland, Russia, Hun­ gary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Holland.

For only $1,280 from New York and back to New York, you’ll visit the most talked about, the most ex-.citing, the most unforgetable countries in the world! And, for that $1,280, your air arrangements are han­ dled by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines . . . you’ll stay at First Class and Deluxe Hotels with private baths.... you’ll get continental breakfast and table d’Hote throughout except in the Soviet Union where all meals are included. And, there will be a multilingual tour conductor traveling with the group who is familiar with the local customs and will handle all of your needs. Of all of the tours which Farm and Home has con­ ducted, this one to the Eastern European countries promises to be “the best ever!" You’ll spend time in* Berlin, Amsterdam, Moscow, Warsaw, Leningrad, Kiev, Budapest and you will visit collective farms, Chopin’s birthplace, the Kremlin, Lenin’s tomb, Gypsy dancers will entertain you in Hungary and in Amsterdam you will see Rembrandt’s works.

BY BETTY CURREN A really up-to-date picnic menu can be as interesting and nourishing as a meal served at home.. Chilled fresh fruit and crisp green vegetables, as well as hot foods, may appear on the picnic table along with the traditional sandwiches, potato salad and pickles — even though the food isn’t served for hours after it is prepared. Proper packing is the secret. Vegetables such as celery, carrots, and crisp freshly-washed lettuce will keep fresh in plastic bags. Kept on ice, they retain their crispness still better. Deviled eggs, sliced meat, chicken salad — in fact, any protein food, in sandwiches or packed separately — which should be kept cold, not merely cool, can be added safely to the picnic meal, if kept on ice until time to eat. For the iced food, insulated containers, which can be bought in various shapes and sizes, help solve the refrigerating problem. However, picnic foods can be kept cold success­ fully without special equipment. A kettle, for example, or other cooking vessel with a lid, makes an effective picnic "ice chest”. Select one large enough to accommodate all the foods which must be kept chilled. Cover the bottom thickly with crushed ice. Then place the food, in plastic bags or glass jars, in the vessel and pack with more crushed ice. Wrap thick layers of paper or towels around the kettle to act as an insulator. Now that you have everything packed properly and ready to go, what are we waiting for?

Amanas are located in east­ central Iowa in some of the best farm land in the nation. Amanas are still basically an agricultural settlement, although industries have helped the villages attain a new height o^ prosperity. The modern appearance of Amana Refrigeration Plant con­ trasts with older homes. Amana today is a delightful blend of the old and new. iowa's quaint amana villages BY WILLIAM C. NELSON mana, Iowa — Three decades ago, an air of gloom hung over the seven villages comprising the Amana A Colonies. The communal society had slipped to the brink of bankruptcy; and the financial muddle was bad­ ly compounded by the depression. Today, the 2,500 descendants of the German crafts­ men who started this quaint Ijttle community on the Iowa prairie live comfortably in an aura of prosperity. Row upon row of shiny, late-model, cars are parked outside the Amana Refrigeration plant in Middle Amana. The steady hum of a factory turning out its wares at near capacity pierces the stillness of the quiet country. ARTHRITIS Hem write for nr free iofenmtiM GOOD BRANDS are BETTER VALUES Frui^' You can’t go wro for a penny a In another village (Amana), the clackety-clack of weaving machines at the Amana Woolen plant is almost deafening to the tender ears of an outsider. In­ side, women working busily over the looms scarcely notice the din. At the Amana Furniture factory, skilled workers labor painstakingly over walnut and cherry wood, turning out beautifully fashioned furniture. On the farms surrounding the villages, Amana farmers watch over herds of well-fed beef cattle and hogs. What brought about the 180 degree financial turnabout? It began in 1932 when, with heavy heart, villagers voted to abandon religi­ ous communism. A modified capitalism was adopted, and it immediate!^* pumped new life into the mainstream of Amana life. Each adult in the community received one share of common stock in a joint stock corporation, which included all the Amana industries. Additional shares of non-voting stock were issued in proportion to a person’s years of service in the society. Products of the Amana Society were sent out into the competitive markets. The shares of voting stock, worth only $50 apiece in 1932, skyrocketed in value as Amana businesses prospered. Today, they’re worth more than $3,500 each. The change is doubly impressive in view of the fact that few “utopian" so­ cieties, such as Amana professed to be, possessed the qualities of adaptabil­ ity and flexibility. It is a remarkable change from the 75-year era when Amana wanted little to do with the outside world. Then, everything was provided for the Amana people. The community assumed all their cares and responsibilities—medical and dental care, schooling, funerals, clothing, food, shelter. Villagers dressed alike (in somber clothes), worked alike, ate in communal kitchens in each village, and worshipped God alike. Sensual frivolities of the outside world were frowned upon. Jewelry was forbidden; as was music, poe­ try, dancing or any of the arts which did not relate directly to the Bible. The drab existence, though, was not unpleasant, at least not to the older generations. There was little bitterness or selfishness. There was no want or loneliness._Amanites enjoyed the comradeship resulting from daily prayer meetings and eating dormitory style in communal dining rooms. But, as is so often the case under communism, lack of incentive began to affect the quality of work. The younger generation (caustically referred to as the ‘drones’ by some older men) began to slide away from Old Order ideas, and did not want to ignore the exciting, dynamic ways of the outside world. The automobile and radio brought increased exposure to a faster-paced life. Then came the depression and the need to join a nation evolving around capitalism, competition and rugged individualism. * When Amana changed its way, it went about the job with a flourish. New techniques were integrated into every industry. Today, Amana, High Amana, Middle Amana, East Amana, West Amana, South Amana and Homestead are a primary Iowa attraction on the newly creat­ ed Hiawatha Pioneer trail for tourists. Each of the villages, situated “one hour apart by oxen”, radiates a quiet prosperity. Their crooked streets are lined with neat lawns, small vegetable gardens and somber, well-kept two-story homes of brick and stone. But the Amana of the 1960’s is a blend of the old and the new. A startling contrast to the older homes, for example, is in the village of Amana where expensive split-level homes dot the south section of town. The homes belong to Amana men who fought in the wars and were given the land upon their return. Despite its swing to contemporary life and tourist promotion, Amana still retains many of its cherished traditions. Religion and industriousness remain* the guideposts of Amana life. German is still spoken by elder Amanites and the language is taught in schools. . Amana residents have few regrets that 33 years ago they relinquished the distinction of being the oldest and most successful communal society in the �2.

With EASTMAN Baler Twine, farmers report tying many extra bales of hay after switching from nat­ ural fiber twines. There’s no doubt—you always get more than 9,000 feet of uniform twine, bale after bale. And there are no thick or thin sections to break or foul baler knotters. Means every foot of Eastman twine is usable. Added advantages: ideal for outdoor hay stor­ age; resistant to rot, insects, and weather; tough yet soft and flexible; has outstanding knot strength.

Since then the officials have been considering"h building code, which in essence is. nec­ essary to cany out the fundamentals of, a zoning ordi­ nance. The council Wednesday evening further dis­ cussed the maner and in all probability will pass on a suitable building code at their next meeting on Thurs­ day, June 22. The council met Wednesday in order not to conflict with commencement activities on Thursday evening. In other business the council voted unanimously to support the recommendations of the Maple Grove-Cas­ tleton township fire board which will go into effect July 1. The pav scale for firemen answering calls was raised from $3'to $5 for the first hour and $1 per hour thereafter until the firemen return to the fire station. The firemen are to receive $5 each for attending specail practice sessions, apt to exceed three sessions per year, and $5 will be paid the fire department treasury for each inhalator run made. The department has not been reimbursed in any manner for these runs in the past. The fire board did nothing with the wage scale for fire officials, but it is expected this will be up for consideration next year. 1 The Woman's Literary club is willing to purchase two new "Maple Valley SchooT'street signs giving di­ rections to the high school located on Vermontville highway. Because these signs are to be erected on M­ 66, approval must be secured through the local county Michigan Highway department with headquarters in Hastings. The two signs, 3 by 4 feet will be aluminum reflectorized with five-inch lettering. Police Chief Robert Parker asked, and received, per­ mission to attend the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police meetings to be held at the Jack Tar hotel in Lansing later this month. On the program agenda for the police sessions will be speakerf Charlie Cullen who will talk on "Eternal Fury", and Heartsill Wilson whose speech is entitled, "Destiny Has Three Faces. " The council voted to transfer $200 from the inciden­ tal fund to set up the Building and Zoning fund. A to­ tal of $1, 500 was allowed in this year's budget for this. Donald Langham, administrator of the zoning com­ mittee was present to discuss matters concerning the board of appeals and its procedures. The board of ap­ peals is expected to meet soon to organize. In other transactions bills amounting to $2, 692. 34 were allowed. Nashville Volunteer Firemen are working on plans for their annual Homecoming celebration, for June 22, 23 and 24.

Beloved Home Town Paper--Will you kindly send me the Echo, and tell me the price of subscription. I will send the money immediately. Nearly 90 years ago I was born in that loved and remembered village. I am a granddaughter of Dud­ ley Fish Bullock and a pioneer of the town. Juliette McCarty Gehman was my cousin. Is there a record of the town in print that I could get? We left Vermontville in 1888, and so I am a pion­ eer of Washington State, and one of my ancestors arrived in Massachusetts in the Mayflower, i (Pater­ nal side).

Dear Mr. Cassidy: It’s my pleasure to inform you that your waste water treatment has qualified for an Award of Merit as a re­ sult of its safety record for 1966. A Certificate will be presented to you or your repre­ sentative at the annual meeting of the Michigan W a ter Pollution Control Association at Boyne Mountain, June 19-21. I hope I'll see you there and have a chance to congratulate you personally. A news release will be sent to your local newspaper in the next few weeks describing the award. Sincerely, Charles L Sercu, Chairman, Hazards Committee Michigan Water Pollution Contraol Association. Dear John, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence West have purchased our local property; and we feel justly proud that people of their backgrounds and their accomplishments have chosen our home and our community for their future residence. Our own new home will be at 1115 West Maple Av­ enue, Adrian, Michigan; and, according to the sched­ ule, our move will begin on June 26. Had there been anomer choice, as we have dis­ cussed, we would have remained in Nashville; and, since our hearts and our home will always be open to our many friends of this area, we trust that they will remember us through letters and personal visits. In closing, we wish to extend our thanks to a com­ munity that has made our past thirteen years both a pleasant and memorable experience. The Gliddens Maple Valley News Nashville News i Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.' Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter BACKSTREET BAROMETER Though we in this area really suffered very little from the storm of Sunday night, a lot of people were really quite concerned. At the time that the sky darkened and the police and fire department were going around town telling everyone to take cover, the Rev. Mr. Frost was hold­ ing services in the Church of the Nazarene. / Mr. Frost said that 65 people took shelter in /the basement of the, church. He said that many of the people were folks just driving through town when the warning was being put out. Among the people who stopped were some from Battle Creek, Manton and Kalamo. Mr. Frost said that there were many others. He didn't find out where they were all from. WBCH is to be commended for the way they han­ dled the storm emergency. According to their 1 i cense they must go off the air at sundown. Because of the emergency situation though, they stayed on the air to do what they could to aid the communi­ cations needed in such a situation. They kept in touch with the sheriff, police and some private citizens in all parts of the county and passed information they gained on to the people ' who were listening. Without WBCH we could not have had anywhere near the information we did have. Now the station must justify their staying on the air to the FCC. If you think, as I do, that they did a real service to the people of the county by stay­ ing on the air past the time they should, drop them a line telling them so. These letters will help them justify their action with the FCC. by john boughton EDITOR & PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry &.

Ferris State College scheduling two high school student workshops For the second year, Ferris Sure College is at­ tempting a new approach to. solving the problem of high school students who are not developing to their fullest potential In cooperation with the graphic arts industry, the college has scheduled two workshops for highschool studei ; who have finished 11th grade, but who would not be likely candidates for traditional col­ lege-level programs. The first workshop is June 19-24; the second, June 25-30. Approximately 60 students and faculty mem­ bers will attend each week. In non-traditional learning situations, the groups will be exposed to different kinds of typing ma­ chines, spirit and mimeo duplicators, an work and layout, camera techniques, offset printing, and business management, facets of a post-high school instructional program which is included in the spec­ ial programs offered by Ferris State College. The participants have been selected by their own school authorities because although they are of at least average intelligence, they have shown a lack of interest in the traditional school setting, and they have not yet been motivated to attempt col­ iege. The work conferences are designed to acquaint them with opportunities in the graphic arts field, which has become the firth largest industry in the United States. While the students are spending at least six hours a day learning about different aspects of graphic arts, teachers and counselors from the sameschook will be busy on campus obtaining new knowledge On June Sth, Mr. and Mrs. Hollis McIntyre help­ ed their granddaughter, Lynn Ann, celebrate hei 7th birthday at Ann Arbor.

Each participating school will incorporate a con­ tinuing program of graphic arts activities for the students during the 1967-68 school year. To encourage participation in the program, stu­ dents and teachers ate granted scholarships financed by funds available to participating school districts through Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Ed­ ucation Act. • The graphic arts industry makes available ma­ chines and operating supplies and furnishes techni­ cians to maintain the equipment and to assist the students in learning to operate it. Participating students also are given opportuni­ ties to view other special technical and health re­ lated arts programs which Ferris offers. The self-supporting workshops are pan of a series of special service training which will bring more than 1,100 participants to Ferris during the summer quarter. KwSMt _ _ . _ MRS, WM.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. JUNE 15, 1967 �South Maple Grove Church plans 80th anniversary The Reverend e. F. Rhoades, who resides here at 210 E. Sherman St,, and his congregation at the South Maple Grove Evangelical United Brethren church located 3 miles west of M-66 on the Dowling road are planning several events this summer to com­ memorate the 80th anniversary of the establishment of a church in this area. About six years ago, the church proposed to build an addition to the church which would house Sunday school rooms; provide a dining hall and kitchen in the basement and allow extra seating space for ser­ vices, Reverend Rhoades, who is officially a retired minister, and Mr. Errett Skidmore of Route 2, Nash­ ville, headed up the construction work. Much labor was donated by members and neighbors. Now the debt incurred for the addition has been paid and the congregation will celebrate with a note­ burning service on Sunday afternoon, June 18. Rev­ erend Lawrence Taylor, conference superintendent of Western Michigan district, will be present at the morning worship service at 11 o'clock. The congregation of the North Maple Grove church of whom Reverend Rhoades is also the pastor, will join in the worship service for this occasion. T,h e ladies of the church are planning a fellowship dinner to be served in the church dining room following the worship service. In the afternoon, a service to burn the note will be conducted by the Pastor and Reverend Taylor. Dr. Wendell Bassett, executive director of the Michigan Council of churches, and a former conference super­ intendent of the West Michigan district, will also be present for the ceremony. A brief history of the church will be given by Mrs. Harry Babcock. M e m bets of the Nortn Maple Grove church will prese nt special music. The ladies of the congregation are planning to wear centennial style, clothing and a display of antique household items is planned. Other summer activities include an anniversary celebration on Sunday, July 9, in honor of Reverend Rhoades 40 years in tne ministry. On August 6, a re­ union of former members and area residents is plan­ ned. --News Photo Vacation reading urged Schoolchildren are invited to join the 1967 Va­ cation Reading Club sponsored by Vermontville Pub­ lic Library and the Vermontville Woman's club.

It is always a lot of fun to get out on the street and meet people you haven't seen in years. Not only that, but it helps the firemen out and what helps them helps the entire community. The pro­ ceeds from the affair all go to buy equipment for the fire department. . So by attending the Harvest Festival you not on­ ly do yourself a favor, but you help the firemen and the entire town. As in the past, they are going to have rides for the kids (young ones and old ones too). They will have entertainment, fireworks, an ox roast and a hobby show.

Protect your car with Leonard Rustproof! A COMPLETE PRINTING^ SERVICE Gins Kelley served as the committee for the meeting. Mr. Scramlin made arrangements for Mr. Ron Bosrock of the Trust Department of Security National Bank, to speak to the group. His talk was in regard to wills and trusts, etc., and proved to be very thought-provoking. Mr. Bosrock stated that in 1865, 60% of the persons who died did not have a will prepared to state what they wished to have done with their estates. In cases like this, the state of Michigan decides that the es­ tate should be divided in this manner: 1/3 goes to the surviving wife and the other 2/3 is divided e­ qually by the children. He also explained that a will is simply a state­ ment of your desires in regard to your property. It should be a legal document, must be signed by the person, and witnessed by two persons. It must also name an executor to take care of the estate. When one is considering making a will, things to avoid include: do not make it yourself; when changes are made, have a lawyer do it; and do not mention sums of money--use percentages instead. Mr. Bosrock said one should also keep his will up to date and upon moving to a new state, check to see if rules have changed which would affect the validity of the will. He was in the Nashville branch office of the Se­ curity National Bank on Friday morning and many interested persons visited with him at that time.

IW �faae 22-94, "'by Ob MUCC will bold its 30th Annual Convention at Manistee and items on its agenda wiU center around resource problems touching the lives of every man. woman and child in Michigan. Questions of clean air and waters, greater re­ creational opportunities, the litter menace and die increase of federal pressures on our natural resour­ ces are but a few of the "big ones" which will come under discussion. Not that these are new. They're not. MUCC has. been fighting these battles for most of the past three decades--far longer than any of the many, moneyed private and government-sponsored groups which have only recently bopped onto the outdoor bandwagon. CUIUS The people of Michigan have had many narrow escapes from individuals and groups who would like to exploit our natural resources for their own pertonal benefit. Who can ever forget the bitter battles that raged over attempts to give portions of lovely Porcupine Mountain Stare Park to the lumber and mining in­ terests? Nor can we forget the bate-face attempts by some members of both political parties, at one time or another, to throw natural resource manage­ ment back into the political patronage system. In the midst of these and many other epic strugfles revolving around our state and national out­ door resources, one willing champion of all the people's rights has been there--Michigan United Conservation Clubs. MUCC has been carrying on this role for 30 years now and it shows no sign of slackening its pace. In­ deed, if anything, -it u showing a remarkable ma­ turity as it gives less attention now to questions like; "Is a 7-inch size limit for trout too small?" and devotes an increasing amount of time to giant­ size resource problems.

The award was presented by the Michigan Water Pollution Control Association at the association's annual meeting June 19 through 21 at Boyne Falls, Michigan. The Award of Merit is given in recognition of two consecutive years of work without a lost-time injury. Nashville is among 152 plants throughout Michi­ gan which are participating in an annual safety sur­ vey and program designed to reduce hazards and in­ crease safe working conditions for waste treatment control personnel. The program has been in effect for the past three years. In 1966 the participating plants reported 28. 5 Injuries for every million man­ hours of work, a marked improvement over the pre­ vious year's record of 40.1 injuries per million man­ hours worked. ■ You can't find a mote democratic organization then MUCC, either. Made up of some 65,000 in­ dividuals who bcicug :<■ close to 400 clubs who are affiliated or associated with MUCC, it is truly Michigan's only .tate-wiue conservation organiza­ tion. Groups within MUCC represent not only hunters and fishermen but farm groups, organized labor, educators, bird-watchers and many others with an appreciation for the outdoors and conservation of our natural resources. MUCC is also set up to work just like a sort of "Conservation Congress”, which not only urges each member of an affiliated club to bring worth-while problems and solutions to the very top, but acts as a reservoir of responsible strength when conserva­ tion battles must be fought. This effectiveness is a matter of record. The easiest way to understand the workings of > this highly, respected organization, of course, would be to attend the Manistee convention. Guests are always welcome. There, delegates elected from* each member club will help chart the course of con­ servation for their membership.

' Who can possibly argue with a philosophy like Open&ttet Dear Friends, . When pain arises it is not unusual to try to ease it by taking drugs or tran­ quilizers. The death of a loved qne is painful to survivors, but by taking tranquili­ zers, we only postpone the facing of our grief and interfere with the natural expression of anguish at the loss of a loved one, thus delaying the read­ justment that must be made. Tranquilizers should be used only in unusual cir­ cumstances and under a doctor's direction. Respectfully, I'M NO GALLEY SLAVE! 'VoqtFUNERAL HOMES NASHVILLE L.

State Police count 1,473 in their ranks with 68 recruits beginning school. Their authorized strength is 1, 576. About 300”civil­ ians are employed. ■ Turnover is low, but the force is now hit hard by current retirements. Continual expansion of the de­ partment requires additional recruiting. The depart­ ment doubled In size in the past 20 years. It is esti­ mated it may grow to 2,000 men by 1970. Although applications have increased, the number of young men who do not meet the standards is high. CoL Fredrick E. Davids, State Police Commissioner, notes that about 35^> of those who begin training do not graduate. Opportunities for advancement are excellent. Each retirement opens vacancies through the ranks which means several promotions per retirement. Troopers are eligible to take promotional examinations after five yean of service. Salaries begin at $6,368.40 per year. Annual raises bring a trooper's pay to $9,437. 76 after seven years. Higher rank increases pay, of course, with a police captain drawing about $15, 000 per year. Civil Service pay increases will raise salaries to a Other benefits include longevity pay after six years of service; travelallowanceCfree uniforms and equip­ ment; vacation and sick leave; free moving when transferred; group medical and life insurance; a re­ tirement plan which allows half-pay for life after 25 yean of service. Work weeks have been reduced to 40 hours, but the job is still demanding and the training rigorous.

In the next 20 years they nearly eliminated the state's vast schools of lake trout. Other species of fish were affected so drastically that commercial fishing on the Great Lakes was seriously impaired. The reduction of lake trout and other fish eating predators permitted astronomical rise of the a le wife, an almost useless fish about the size of a her­ ring. The alewife creates a serious problem in die-offs along beaches, clogged water intakes, and as a depressant to more desirable species of fish. A lamprey poison was discovered in the late 1950's. Used extensively since then, it now appears that the control of lampreys and the rehabilitation of the lake trout is assured. Control of the alewife should be accomplished by the introduction of an entirely new sport fish to Michigan's waters. Different species of salmon ate raised in government hatcheries and released in the Great Lakes with surprising success. If early results are indications of future achievements, the salmon should find alewife tasty meals upon which to mul­ tiply... Some 850, 000 coho smoltt (Pacific salmon) were released in three Michigan streams early in 1966. Coho began showing up in commercial hets within three months, first a few and then substantial num­ bers of fat silvery coho ranging from 12 inches to seven pounds. By September about 2,000 had been caught by Michigan anglers. More coho smolts from Oregon, Washington and Alaska will be planted in Michigan streams this year and next. Up to one million Washington chi­ nook salmon will also be released If chinook uke to Great Lakes living as well as the coho Michigan fishermen are in for a pleasant surprise, and the alewife problem will come under nature's law of survival. The Fish Division of the Michigan Department of has plans for introducing and expandof other commercial game fish to waters in the near future. A brook trout­ hybrid called splake is being reared for introduction in 1970. Expansion of coaster brook trout is underway. Summer steelhead and Atlantic salmon will be reared and released in Michigan as Voters in Michigan wiH be THE MAPLE Wildlife authorities in Michigan and many other a states are pondering over the rather steady decline ; in pheasant numbers. I To date, most research has centered upon the | possible effects of insecticides, such as DDT, which may prevent the formation of fertile eggs. The "clean farming" theory has also been advanced to show that few pheasants can survive on bitt, heavily cultivated farms. So far, no positive ans­ wer has emerged from Michigan research. It is quite possible that Ohio came up with the answer ten years ago. We recently ran across an account of a mysterious pheasant die-off among Ohio's pen-reared birds. It was in the spring of 1957 and pheasant-rearing pens where birds were placed to strengthen their flight, has been prepared. Planted with cover crops, the ground had been heavily fertilized with 12-12 12 granules. Rainfall that year in that area was only half of normal, and the fertilizer failed to dissolve as it was supposed to do. Instead, the granules tended to settle down just under the surface of the ground. As pheasants were released into the flight pens, the weather turned hot. The birds, which had been . scratching the ground the pecking then drank abnor­ mally large quantities of water. Soon they began to show signs of paralysis and died by the hundreds. Puzzled authorities, checking for disease and other causes, continued to put new birds into the pens and they, too, died Eventually, they came to the conclusion that the birds were being killed by nitrate poisoning as a result of swallowing the granules of commercial fertilizer. Birds released into unfertilized ■ ■ continued in a healthy state, regardless of tugu temperatures and drouth conditions. During 1961-65 we happened to be living (and hunting) in South Dakota, one of the greatest pheasant areas in the world. The first two years we enjoyed tremendous shooting in the vast soil bank areas that produced as many as a thousand birds to a field. The last two yean, though, drouth hit South Da­ kota at the same time that much of the land was coming out of soil bank and going back into agri­ culture. The pheasants have slipped to an all-time low there since then. We happen to know that o ver 120,000 tons of commercial fertilizer was sold in South Dakota in 1965, with 80-90 percent of it the granular type. Is this coincidence? Far be ft from us to tell wildlife researchers how to do their job but to date we have heard nothing about any research into the possibility of nitrate poisoning to Michigan pheasants. Maybe a closer working relationship between states engaged in wildlife research would not only pay off in more • information but in a saving of funds for all con­ cerned. One thing is for sure--our Michigan pheasant . population is declining the same as that of other pheasant states. Pen-rearing pheasants is not the answer; South Dakota has never done ft. The ans­ wer is still waiting to be found. Or has ft already been found in Ohio? in nays not too long past, the average ."sports­ man" was a person who went hunting or fishing with a single purpose in mindE-to kill something. An increasing number of people, however, are finding they don't necessarily have to kill of part of the outdoors in order to find enjoyment there. This can hold true, even though a person m ight actually be engaged in hunting or fishing. It is likely that those who enjoy "just looking"al­ ready outnumber the combined total of hunters and fisherman. If you uke into consideration those sportsmen who are satisfied with a day spent out­ doors, even though they may fail to get either game or fish, then the just looking" group is already in the majority. Nobody has to be a rugged, he-man individual, such as the sportsman likes to portray himself, in order to enjoy what he finds outdoors. Thousands of folks, for example. ~enjoy automobile drives through the countryside with uo thought in mind other than to enjoy looking at scenery and other attractions. Wildlife close to a road is always viewed with in­ terest. The first green-up of early spring brings deer out near the roads and within easy range of amateur „ photographers or the "just lookers. " Spring also brings sharptailed grouse onto their traditional dan­ cing grounds. In areas where these birds are still found? many a nature lover is willing to get up at 3:00 a. m. to move into a blind on these grounds to watch the birds perform their fascinating mating rituals.

( Lorn Smith, living west of Sandusky, burned down this old barn on his farm and replaced it with a small but efferent shed (right) he uses io house calves and machinery. The cost was less than $3,000. Michigan State University agricultural engineers say many old, unused bams and sheds on some Michigan farms are both and “eyesore” and a fire and safety hazard. , . . , .. They also say most fanners would find it more economical to make a “planned burning of old buildings rather than trying to remodel them. The ‘planned burning” should he done when there is no wind, a low grass fire hazard, and some­ one is around to keep the fire from spreading. The local fire department should be alerted and may want to stand by. - / Smith, a part-time fanner, who feeds oat dairy calves for beef production, hooked a tractor into a couple of corners of the old dilapidated barn to break it down for better burning. He said some other old structures on the farm would also probably be replaced after they were burn­ ed or tom down.

This shook my friend up more than somewhat. Then, when be was on his way back on Sunday, all of a sudden a car came at him going north on the south-bound side of the highway. This time it was a woman and my friend is sure she was stopped not too far up the road because he had seen a State Police car just a mile or so back from where he saw the woman. It is difficult to believe that anyone could get go­ ing the wrong way on one of these modem highways. They put these "Wrong Way" signs up and do every­ thing they can to mark the correct way. It would seem a person would know immediately that he was battling traffic. Some folks spend their entire lives battling though. This following is something that came in the mail and since it is a subject close to my heart I will print it here. Chairman Joe L. Evins (D-Tenn.) announced today that he and eight other Members of the House Small Business Committee have petitioned the Post Office and Civil Service Committee to exempt small, inde­ pendent newspapers from a proposed rate increase. "The small, independent newspaper has tradition­ ally been the hub around which the life of Small Town and Rural America has revolved," the Com­ mittee Members said in a letter to Rep. Thaddeus J. Dulski, Chairman of the Post Office and Civil Ser­ vice Committee, and Rep. Arnold Olsen, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Postal Rates which is consid­ ering the proposal "The free circulation of news is a basic element in our democracy," Chairman Evins commented. "The small newspapers should not be over-burdened with increased postal rates that could reduce the circula­ tion of these newspapers throughout America. " The full letter to Chairman Dulski follows: 22 June 1967 Honorable Thaddeus J. Dulski Chairman Post Office & Civil Service Committee U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D. C. .

We are all aware ths< our population continues to increase at a rapid rate, and because of this it is the duty of each and every one of us to help prevent our country from becoming a garbage heap. The condition of our roadside, our streams, and even the air attest to the plight we will be in if the pro­ per measures are not taken. There is no immediate solution and finding the answer is going to take time and money; therefore, it is up to us as indi­ viduals to do all we can to prevent unsightly con­ ditions, health hazards, and nuisances in general Because I travel consistently - about the village, it leaves me in a good position to see some of the above mentioned conditions, and to hear various complaints about them. The following are the most frequently .voiced: 1. Garbage: A few families in the village have neither gar­ bage service, nor an approved means of disposal; others have a constant mess. 2. Burn Barrels: If you have a burn barrel, you should make cer­ tain that sparks, smoke, and offensive odors are not annoying your neighbors. 3. Pets: When dogs and cats are allowed to run loose, they cause damage to property, create health hazards and cause disturbances at night. 4. Linering: This applies to village streets and alleys as well as highways. Clutter in the streets causes poor drainage, creates a bed for disease, and looks unsightly. 5. Sewage: Those of us who are not on the city sewer must be sure that our tanks, drain fields, or dry wells are working properly; any violation must be reported immediately. If we all do our part regarding the above men­ tioned items, we not only protect our health and welfare, but we also have a nicer looking town. Jim Irwin Public Works Supt.

NEW LOCATION 219 North Main Street Dept, report Dear Mr. Chairman: This is with reference to hearings currently being held before your Committee on the Administration bill to raise the postal rates on all classes of mail over the next few years. The House Small Business , Committee has received numerous communications from publishers of small independently owned news­ papers, all of whom raise objections to the proposed increase in postal rates for second class mail. The COPPERTONE newspapers referred to ai iness of disseminatina ae and local interest. T1 vixaL There can be no que out the necessity of bringing the operations ol : Post Office Department into better fiscal balance, which will require in­ creased operating revenues. The small independent newspaper, however, has traditionally been the hub around which the life of small town and rural Amer­ ica has revolved. The heavy rate of attrition has substantially reduced the numbers of such newspa­ pers, which have successfully competed for the ad­ vertisers' dollar. It would be a calamity if thesmall independently owned newspaper ceased to function as a vital part of American life. Most small independent newspapers, by their very nature, must use the mails in large measure to ac­ complish delivery of the papers to subscribers. Route delivery of such papers is almost non-existent. The publishing of small newspapers has never been a high profit enterprise. They perform a vital and essential service and this small business must be pro­ tected and preserved. It is the recommendation of the undersigned Mem­ bers of the House Small Business Committee that small independently owned newspapers be exempt from the proposed increase in postal rates which are now being considered by your Committee.

Next to Xmas this used to be our biggest day of the year as kids. Now I for one, hesitate to get on the highway to go any place and jump every time I hear a firecracker or a bomb and just don’t much care to do anything special at all. Guess it does make a person think a bit when the experts can tell you a week or more in advance how many people will be injured or killed before the Holiday even starts.Guess I just don't look forward to being one of the forecasts. If you feel like I do about highway travel over these Hol­ iday weekends, stay home and make Makers your picnic and Cook-out headquarters, and then come back next week. _We will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th ONLY.

The participating teams came from Charlotte, Eaton Rapids and Delton. --News Photo �Fourth of July. Maybe that was the big snow that was just a week or so ago. At any rate, it does not seem that the Fourth of July should come so early. As a matter of fact, the weather feels just about the same as it did the week of the big snow. Just can’t figure that out It seems to me that back in the good old days the Fourth came during the very warm weather. 1 can remember getting up early in the rooming and al­ ready it was warm and the air was already full of the smell of firecrackers, . Back in those days things started earlier. The Fourth started a good many days earlier. The spark­ lers came out weeks in advance of the big day and the smaller firecrackers (they were legal tn those days) were started many days in advance. The lady­ fingers (ittybitty) firecrackers were the first to be exploded. This might be as much as a month in ad­ vance of the. Fourth. These lady fingers were strung up on a long fuse which was intended to be lighted to ignite the firecrackers one-by-one making a sound somewhat similar to a burst from a tommy gun. A long time before the Fourth though, they were taken off the long fuse to be ignited one at a time. These little jobs were small anough that they gave out with just a slight cracking sound and repre­ sented little in the way of danger. The really big crackers were saved for the Fourth itself and the larger they were the later in the day they were to be exploded. Those really big ones were known as cannon crackers and one of :hem ex­ ploded under a tin-can could blow it sky-high.

But nevertheless some farmers in Barry and Eaton counties would un­ doubtedly fare well in comparison to " knee high" corn with those of Western States, despite the fact that Michigan corn planting season was exception­ ally wet and cold this year. These photos, taken June 30, with four days to go before the " knee high” traditional comparison, show corn 55 and 60 inches tall. In Barry County on the Roger Flannigan farm, eight miles northwest of Nashville, 8655 Coats Greve road, there is corn on a 13-acre field that was 55 inches tall on June 20 when these photos were taken. This com, planted on sandy loam May 15, is some of the best Roger has grown in the 20 years he has been farming. He plowed down clover from last year, used 300 pounds of fertilizer, and also weed Killer (Estron 99). M. L. Lowe of Gresham Highway, Vermontville, owns a 108-acre farm at 6135 Ono Road, east of here in Eaton county where he has over a half mile of corn planted along the Thornapple river. He planted the corn April 28 on sandy soil and was able to work the ground earlier than many farmers. He --Photo by Gladys Richardton used fertilizer and nitrogen, along with (Atrazine) a weed killer. His corn measured 60 inches tall as of June 30. Mr. Lowe has a reputation for raising ex­ ceptionally good corn over the years, and this looks as though it might be some of his best. Two years ago he put in an irrigation system, but he has not had need of it this year because of wet weather. SHOWER AFTER SHOWER Plenty of Hot Water... Electrically!

The village was settled more than 125 years ago by a select group of persons from Vermontville who came here with a definite purpose of setting up co­ lonial hornet and businesses similar to the area they left behind. Down through the years Vermontville residents have taken pride in their heritage, and now the Planning Committee is going to delve more deep ly into what that first group of settlers strived for, then present their ideas to the Chamber of < C o m merce, hoping that the community can stress a strong link with the past. The Planning Committee, organized in Septem­ ber 1965, for the purpose of promoting new ideas, is made up of representatives from all organizations in the community. Miss Mabelle Sprague and M. L Lowe are co-chairmen, a committee headed by Miss Esther Shepard, assisted by Mrs. Mildred Allen, Mrs. Mary Hulben, Miss Barbara Frith and Miss Cecilia Sprague will be responsible for making a detailed re­ search of the 1800 to 1850 era with suggestions of how the community can take on the "old" look in modern times. Chris King, local architect, spoke to the Planning committee last week Tuesday making a few sugges­ tions on how the "flavor" of old’Vermont could be brought to Vermontville. He said that in the olden days one look at the outside of a building and one knew immediately what kind of business was carried on on the inside. A definite motif should be consid­ ered, then with a desire, backed by energy all things are possible. He stressed that if the outside of a building is changed to come under any new plans which may develop, then the inside must be in the same decor. A complete study of the old New Eng­ land style should be made--the buildings, the fix­ tures and the furniture. Markers were suggested to be placed in various places in the community so the old landmarks would be clearly visible. A number of business men along Main street have already shown an interest in revamping the commun­ ity. feeling that by combing the "old" look while beautifying Vermontville, improvements can be made to make this one of the most outstanding and interesting communities in the state. The Congregational church is one of the oldest, if not the oldest church in Michigan. The first ten houses ever built are still standing.

He had been a patient in a Battle Creek hospital for about two weeks, and had returned home earlier in the day. He was born Oct. 21, 1895, in Battle Creek, son of Edwin W. and Elizabeth (Ruse) Penfold. He was married October 24, 1916, in Charlotte to Beatrice Herrington. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Charles (Theda) Coppess of Sunfield, Mrs. Donald (Aleta) VanAuken of Battle Creek and Mrs. Lloyd (Thelma) Linsley of Nashville, 12 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren, and a sister, Mb. William (Margaret) Barve of Coldwater. The Rev. Henry Campbell officiated at the ser­ vices, and burial was in Wilcox cemetery. "Honey, come heie and sit down, " said Dorothy. "I want to talk to you. ” She said it in that tone of voice that wives re­ serve for special occasions. Like when hubby goes out and buys an unauthorized fly rod, thereby dam­ aging the family budget. You guys all know what we mean. Only thing, we hadn't bought a new rod or much of anything else lately. We suspected, though, that we were about to get the worst of a bad bargain, so with foreboding we sat down. "1've been reading your outdoor columns," she said, "and I'm pretty interested in what you say a­ bout hunting and fishing being just for recreation. “ We brightened considerably at that, for it's a wellknown fact that the wives of outdoor writers seldom get around to reading what they write. A lot of other people might read it, but not a wife. Obviously, this was merely the build-up for the falL She continued: " If hunting and fishing are for recreation and it really isn't important whether you bring home any game or fish, then why is it neces­ sary to have all of that expensive equipment to hunt and fish with?" As we pondered for an answer, she continued: "Just look at the stuff you need to go duck hunting. You have to have a boat, motor, decoys, special shells, special shotgun, portable blind, a dog to fetch your ducks (if you ever shoot any), specialclothes, nip boots and decoys. " "You said decoys twice, " we protested weakly. "Well, for as many decoys as you have, I should mention them twice," she said. "And look at the way you load down the car just to go fishing. Why you need a dozen rods and reels. I’ll never know , and that's only the start. You have landing nets, hundreds of sure-fire baits that you've never even had in the water, waders, leaders, bobbers, sinkers, line dressing, fly oil, a creel and a boat and motor." "You said boat and motor when you inventoried my hunting gear", we interrupted. "For as much as they cost I should'say it four times’ she saio.

He brought with him flowers that can be found at home and showed the club how to make beautiful and unus­ ual corsages. He made it look so easy, but everyone was sure it would take a lot of practice. Members were drawn for the corsages that he made and they went to Mrs. Elmer Gillett, Mb.

Snell, former dean of MSU's College of Engineer­ ing and now president of a Lansing engineering com­ pany, proposes that a 300 ft-wide channel connect a series of lakes to give Michigan an inland trans-state waterway. Water from Lake Huron would be pumped into the channel inlet, somewhere near Port Huron. Using many available lakes and streams, the waterway would connect with the Looking Glass River near Lan­ sing. From there it would cross above the Grand Riv­ er and connect into the widened and improved Thorn­ apple River and Battle Creek River. Eventually, the waterway would link into the Rabbit, Paw Paw, and Grand Rivers flowing into Lake Michigan at three points. A number of other riven would interconnect, giv­ ing Michigan approximately 900 miles of connected passages for boats and more than 1, 800 miles of shoreline. Channels would be deep enough to handle cruisers up to 50 ft. in length. and Ron Rapids. 14 class members were present. i family, Neil Parker and fam­ ily, Don Baker and family, Ken Beardslee and fam- RespoRSi fivoribli to forming MV art group A short time ago an article, (with a coupon to be filled in), was printed in the News pertaining to the formation of a Maple Valley Art Group. Approximately 30-40 persons have returned cou­ pons to the News office or have indicated interest in such a group. Although the time of the year is not particularly good for arranging meetings, because of vacations, etc., some plans will be made in regard to setting up a meeting of this group. The article stated that if there was enough interest along this line perhaps art classes could be offered, lectures arranged for and other activities along this line carried out. As plans are made, further a n nouncement will be made in the newspaper. Ample water supplies for much of the state would be one of the major benefits such a waterway would bring to the state. Many communities 'Which now suffer water shortages would be provided with an end­ less supply from this sparkling, fresh resource. I n creased recreational facilities is another benefit. Dams built along the channel would provide hydro­ electric power. A general " cleaning up" of existing lakes and rivers would accompany the construction of the channel, thus helping to eliminate current water pollution. Flood control and a boost to Michigan's tourist industry would be subsidiary benefits. Snell estimates the cost at about $490 million but notes that project expense could be recovered within ten years by selling the improved waterfront property for private development. ■ He points out that, over a longer period, sale of water to municipalities, industry and agriculture could turn the project igto a profit-making venture. The state could net some $20 to $50 million annually, he estimates. __ _ __ spouses were presented with name cards in the shape of a school house. After a bountiful potluck dinner, everyone settled down to a long and enjoyable session of reminiscing. A short business meeting was held and letters from some of the absent members were read by chairman Hoppe. Each class member was presented with an ac­ tual brick from the old VHS. Donald and Roxanne Baker were nominated to plan the 25th year reunion. • A lovely summer day accented the get-together and allowed much time for horseback riding and en­ joying the spacious country atmosphere of the host and hostess' lovely home. Three firm meetings set Thursday, July 6; Those interested in improving the performance of quality of beef cattle should at­ tend the meeting at Holiday Farms at 7:30 p. m. The testing program will be explained, Terry Greathouse and Amos Fox of MSU will be on hand for the dem­ onstration of cattle grading and performance testing. The farm is north of Ada on Grand River Drive. . Thursday, July 13: at 8 p. m. see one litter system and a new feed handling system and a new feed han­ dling system at the Louis Wierenga Farm at the Charlton Park road north of the Coats Grove road. Corn and Soybean rations will be discussed along with hew swine layouts. Thunday, July 20, Free Lime Testing Day. F a r men will oe allowed to test two sample of soil free for lime. Locations will be in Middleville, Hastings and Nashville. Watch for location and time later. Side-Dress Your Crops NOW Without Lifting a Finger A_ a_-ft No estimate Of time needed to complete such an undertaking has been given and Snell hastens to point out that all of his studies have been preliminary. The first step in undertaking such a venture would be through the legislature's authorization of more de­ tailed engineering studies. If the decision were then to proceed, an authority much like that set up for the Mackinac Bridge would probably follow. 3 NOT INSURANCE Uninsured motorists who pay $35 each year in lieu of automobile insurance leave themselves wide open to financial hardship, notes Secretary of State James Hare. The $35 fee is not fot their own protection. It is for the protection of the driver who suffers loss due to an accident caused by the uninsured. Victims are re­ imbursed by the state a maximum of $10, 000 per per­ son for bodily injury with a limit of $20, 000 per ac­ cident Additionally, victims can receive a maxi­ mum of $5, 000 per accident for property damage, af­ ter an initial $200 deduction is made.

NUMBER 7 _ Donkey ball game planned by Chamber A fun-filled evening is being planned for the res­ idents of the area, as members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce are making plans for a DonO key Dall Ball game ewn on July 113. • . t'he ball game will ill be played at the Fuller Stre Street School, at the ballfield. Two teams will be made up, one composed of members of the Chainbet of Commerce and the other a group of "Gay 90's". All players except the pitcher and catcher will ride donkeys in the game. The pitcher and catcher re­ main on the ground in specially marked boxes. The pitcher and catcher cannot field a batted ball but must wait until a player with a donkey has handled the ball first. When the batter hits the ball, he must mount the donkey and ride around the bases in proper order. The base running donkey must step inside or on a white circle with one foot while player is on the donkey's back, to be safe. The Gay Nineties team, under the coaching of Bernice and Phyllis Frith, includes these additional women on the team; Bernice Frith, Gladys Mitchell, Rotha Murphy, Mabel Drake, June Decker, Gerry Dingman, Lillian Garlinger, Bonnie Maker and Phyllis Erath. These ladies will be all decked out in "Gay Nine­ ty" apparel and have some special little schemes they nope to use fa their attempt to win over the Chamber team. Unpires, referees and other officials have not been assigned as yet, but much fun is in store for partici­ pants as well as those attending. Tickets are being sold by various Chamber of Commerce members. Vote closes last county rural school The annual Mayo school reunion was held Sunday with 140 guests present.

But. the close of more than 100 doo of the residents of the Maon Monday the votes of the district approved consolidation with the Maple Val­ ley district. True, another reunion is scheduled for the second Sunday fa July, 1968, but things will not be the same—ever, for the closing of the Mayo school not only marks the end of another rural school, but more important, it marks the closing of the last lit­ tle rural school in Barry county. There are 33 voters In the Mayo district, and Mon day most of them voted on the three separate pro­ posals. Proposal No I was the annexation to the Ma­ ple Valley district. This passed 28 to 1. ul amount assessed against Ehls asked for an expenses. Such increase is presently in effect in the Maple laple Valley district. This proposal passed 29 to 0. The third proposal concerned the Mayo . . lyo di district's assuming itss pro-rata share of the 1963 unlii unlimited tax bonded iindebtedness ' ' ‘ ’ -­ of the Maple Valley school district. This is proposal passed 25' 25 to 2. For many yean the little school districts and ai rur* * al churches have been the nucleus of rural cc the district could best be served by annexing to the Maple Valley district. Back in 1939 Mrs. Josephine Mapes started oraoap �BACKSTREET BAROMETER The following note was received this week and we sprint in here: tear Backstreet Barometer, I hadn't realized the difference between the Backtjeet and the front street before but thanks for the dhcation. It seems to me the backstreet of the past which ou so adequately described in your article about the •th of July, really needs the front street of today, t's like a boy becoming a man; he must leave his ticks and stones and puppy dog tails. It's a great day today, Mr. Barometer, just look tround! Maybe you won't see firecrackers but you'll «e joy just the same. Please let us live today, just jne day at a time. Yesterday and tomorrow can be rwful eternities. Your secret admirer The article printed in last week's paper about the considered transformation of "Old New England'Took for Vermontville has brought some interesting commenu. Io the first place, such an undertaking is a great bit of work - and this is generally understood by those involved. However, after one begins to consider such a change, a few things come to mind and it begins to take on the feeling of " Hey, this could be a fun thing!" Ifthis theme could be carried out and was gener­ ally evident by the various business places, it could be a boom as a tourist attraction. Thinking along the line of tourists - there must be some place for them to go after they come to the community - per­ haps interesting and unusual shops, restauranu, tne museum. One lady commented that this would be an ideal place for a pancake shop - not one large, modem restaurant - but one small interesting place, a few tables with checkered table cloths and can­ dles on the tables - one decorated with the Old New England bit in mind. Along with this goes die gift shop - with unusual gift items and an objects. These things tourists are looking for. Another suggestion which was mentioned was mak­ ing use of thebeautiful Thornapple River and pro­ moting a Canoe trip (supplying canoes for rental) between Vermontville and Nashville. Only those who have actually taken this trip know the beauty of the river and can feel the enthusiasm that this sug­ _______ gestion brings. Maple Valley News by john boughton This takes a lot of forward-thinking - lots of work and sheer determination. I think it deserves much thought and consideration and certainly such an idea is not impossible to attain. Let's all remember the Donkey ball game this Friday night at the Fuller Street School From what I hear, the ladies have a fine team organized and will match their talents (?) against the members of the Chamber of Commerce - male members, that is. It should be a lot of fun and I hear these women have a few tricks up their sleeves and who knows, perhaps those donkeys'are a trick-y bunch too. The tickets have been on sale around town and from the sound of things, it should be a fine project.

SOUTH t~ 1 EIMOf°°° Na,hvlUe-637 S, Mate- SS3-69BS U Keceires Award of Honor Dr. Emory W. Morris, president of the W. K. Kel logg Foundation, has been named recipient of the American Hospiul Association's second Award of Honor. Dr. Edwin L. Crosby, executive vice presi­ dent and director of the association made the an­ nouncement in Chicago. The AHA Award of Honor is given to persons, not necessarily health professionals, who have made sig­ nificant contributions to the health of the people. The first one was given to Sen. Lister Hill, D., Ala., last year. Dr. Morris will receive it August 23, during the AHA's 69th annual'meeting in Chicago. His picture1 will be carried on the cover of the July 16 issue of the association's journal, Hospitals, and a story of Dr. Morris and his career will appear inside. "Under the leadership of Dr. Morris, the W. K. Kel­ logg Foundation has provided aid and encouragement for advancement of education and .health care throughout the nation and also the vast reaches of Latin America, " Dr. Crosby said. "Australia, Can­ ada and Europe also have received the benefits of the Foundation philanthropies, " he added. Dr. Morris, who had been practicing denistry in Battle Creek, joined the Kellogg Foundation in 1933 as director of denul education. One of his ma­ jor and early concerns was the lack of hospitals in rural Michigan. Foundation trustees listened to his pleas and decided to help the communities develop rural health centers, an attraction to young medi­ cal school graduates, improvement in medical, pub­ lic health and dental services followed as the Mich­ igan Community Health Project (MCHP) stimulated the communities to develop a wide range of activ­ ities where none, or almost none, had existed be­ fore. Later the Foundation's scope of assistance to health programs, including hospitals, expanded to national and international proponions. In 1940 Dr. Morris was named general director of the Foundation and three years later assumed the additional duties of president. Son of a country (factor, he was bom in Nashville and was graduated from the University of Michigan with his D. D. S. degree in 1928.

Then they went on north to Elwin Smith’s cabin (Eaton County sheriff) in Clare County. While there they went to Lake City and took the Lake City railroad to Cadillac and back on the old steam train.

My parents, Solomon Lockwood Wiard and Juli- ' ette Bullock, were old residents of that loved town. Father, with his family, went there in 1867. My mother was the daughter of Dudley Fish Bullock. Her twin sister was Janette Bullock McCarty, moth­ er of Juliette McCarty Nicksail Jehmak. I attended school in Vermontville through the 3rd grade. Mis* Wheeler and Mrs. Rhode* were my teach­ er*. I joined the Congregational church at 8 yean. Later my mother went into the Methodist church. Mr. Pollock, pastor. Bernard was his son. We lived on the same street as the Tylers, Ada, Una, Myrtle, their daughters. Dr. Green was a 2nd cousin of my father, Hiam DeForest Wiard, a well known preacher, was my uncle. His wife was my mother's sister, Lucelia Bullock Wiard. My father's people were all stone masons or preachen. (Stone masonry then a profession and not a trade). The Wiards came to Boston in 1636. Their son married Miles Sundish' granddaughter, making me a Mayflower descendant. descendant.'* I have ave "had had a most interesting and happy life, now in my 90th year. In the 1890's for one year I taught in Cogsdill school in Kalamo after work at Ann Arbor University. We came to Washington territory in the spring of 1838, so I am a pioneer in Washirigton--went east to college. I love Vermontville, the old Thomapple River, the whole is a memory of delight.

Elizabeth Wiard Hanis In my childhood I was Bertha, Beth, Bessie, now prefer Elizabeth. by john boughton BACKSTREET BAROMETER One of my admirers, (that's how he signed him­ self) took me to task a bit last week for my Barom­ eter of a week previous to that in which I Became a bit nostalgic and looked back to the good old day*. This friend is entirely right in his saying that we have only today and that living in the past or dream­ ing of the future is a pleasure we must deny o u r selves. We have only the psesent—the moment--and if we make that meaningful we really will have little time to dwell on past glories or to dream of the great day coming. Ths past can serve us best by providing us with a model to go by. We can look at the past and know that if certain things are done, then certain results may be expected. So often we look at the past though, see the mis­ takes made by ourselves or others, and then pro­ ceed to make the same mistakes all over. Then express surprise at the result. It is a bit like a little poem I learned yean ago. I don't know who wrote it or even where I saw it, but this poem impressed me enough that I have re­ membered it for years--probably because it is so true. It goes; For good undone, For gifts misspent. For resolutions vain, Tis somewhat late to trouble, This I know. But I would live the same life over If I had to live again, Though chances are I'd go where most men go. The point being I guess that even though we know from past experience what the results will be, we go ahead and goof up anyway--knowing we are goofing. My friend, of course is right. There is little Rents good to be gained from dwell! not might be cheaper in that dwel even sure of that. We have only today--and perhaps not all of that so we should make the most of it. 'V. What made the "old days" good? Or better than the present? Faulty memories, I suspect. It seems to be human nature to remember things not as they actually were, but as we would like to think they were. John Steinbeck in "America and Americans" said, "National need calls upon the citizen soldier. He kicks like a steer going in, bitches the whole time? He lives for the day when he can get out of uniform, and once out spends a large part of his future life at reunions and conventions. The war he loathed becomes the great time of his life and__ . he can conscientiously bore hi* wife and children" to death with it. “ When Amy and I were first married and we moved into a little apartment in Detroit, a very wise and good friend told us what she thought was one of the secrets of happiness. She told us that we would no doubt live in sev­ eral different places before we settled down com­ pletely. "Wherever you are living, " she said, "consider that the place you are going to live the rest of your life. You will have much more chance of nappiness that way and so will the people around you." We have lived in several houses and each one we have left we left with a garden and trees. We have never been unhappy about the work that went into these yards. We enjoyed it and we think of the trees and flowers left behind as a memorial to us.

Eleven members and four guests enjoyed the 12:30 delicious dinner. The group was especially glad to have with them the new pastor, theRev.Rob ert Boyer and his family, for this time of fellow­ ship. " Leading the meeting following the dinner, was Mrs. Christina Van Horn, the acting chairman for the month of July. Mrs. Bessie Decker, who had the devotions, read an article which stressed the value of our trials and temptations which are often given to us to test our faith. She gave an interesting story ot a Japanese dentist who. through constant appli­ cation, was able to do things that required great power. She likened this to the Christian, who must exercise constant application to the task of being a Christian--that is--through daily prayer and the study of the scriptures. She closed with a 23rdpsalm for busy people.

The first thing the manager asked me was—did I have a chair handy anc^was I sitting down ! We are going to have to sell sour cherries for $9. 50 for a 30# can, either with or without sugar. The big black sweet cherries are the same as last year, with or without sugar. Don’t know why they don't go up, but we are thankful. ‘ So our cherry pies and cherry cobblers will cost us more, but actually only about 100 a pie, so it could be worse. We will be going to Frankfort for the cherries in the next week or two, so please call us with your orders.

Baker and Daniel L. Talbot built the first schoolhouse in District No. 2 on Section 2 in Assyr­ ia township. This was across the road from the pres­ ent Mayo school The first school was known as the Baker school In that schoolhouse O. B. Sheldon of Castleton taught the first school and Jane F a rns worth the second. ' In 1844 Assyria received a settler named Rodgers who straight-way on his arrival introduced himself as a Methodist Episcopal preacher and in the Baker schoolhouse conducted puolic worship every Sun­ day for some time. The first school records were dated 1865 when Cynthia Jane Foster was the teaeher. The 13th of November first term started and ran 17 weeks and die teacher received $85, or $1. 00 a day. The next year 1866 they had a spring term of 13 weeks with Anna Marie Mulvaney as teacher with P. M. Harwood, director. John Mayo was the mod­ erator and C.G. Baker assessor. This teacher re­ ceived $39 for her 13 weeks. The same fall Susan M. Brooks taught 13 weeks for $65. The next year they did not have a spring term and the fall of 1867 Jacob Hoffman, director,hired Sophia Dittimer. There were 19 on the school list among whom were Harry Mayo, 8, Charles Hoff­ man, 9 and William Coates, 17. The school of­ ficer's terms were only for one year and a new board elected each year.

From the very beginning men have been trying to find ways to more accurately tell just where we stand in time. Years, days, months, were fairly easy to tell. A day ran from sunup to sunset and a night from sun­ set to sunrise. Or the whole thing could be a day. Months we came by naturally. Even the most primitive of people can judge the passage of time by the phases of the moon which take roughly a month. The changes of the seasons made the year come out to a natural measure of time. When men started to whack the day up into parts though, they ran into trouble, Sunrise, sunset and I . t L J - noon were not too u. bad, but the rest oft the- day someone' at proved difficult. If you didn't meet someone Si'' UXL.MV.JJ noon back in the days before watches--forget it. Now, even with h'igh high class timepieces, we are running into difficulties as to just what time it is.

Mothers who would like to get the kids in bed so they can enjoy a bit of relax­ ation and would like darkness to come earlier. I have heard that one woman even insisted that the change in time was going to throw the growing crops out of kilter because the extra hour of d a y light would make them grow more. Perhaps the answer would be to let each guy set his clock the way he sees fit. What is it to me if the. drive-in movie guy wants to be on fast time and I am on slow time?

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION HIDING THE FACTS A new rash of efforts to conduct public business in private seems to be developing; It is especially apparent among school boards. The law states that school boards, and most och­ er public bodies, must hold their meetings in pub­ lic but does allow for executive sessions. It stipu­ lates that no formal action can be taken except at a public meeting. Numerous "advantages" are listed for holding closed meetings. These include efficiency, exped­ iency, the need to deal with personnel problems, and property purchases. Another "advantage" not heard so often but nonetheless pertinent is that board members need not worry about looking fool­ ish in their deliberations in the absence of an audi­ ence. It might be more efficient and more expedient for a board to meet in private. But American gov­ ernment is built upon the basis that the individual has a responsibility in making logical, government decisions at the polls. He has a right to know how his elected representatives deal with public prob­ lems. . Newspapers lead the fight to keep meetings open and always win when people in the community back them. W ithout solid, local support officials are inclined to do as they please. It is the old story of people getting the kind of government they de­ mand. Some boards make too frequent use of the exe­ cutive session as a means of conducting public bus­ iness in private. There are records of boards which meet in private to decide what will be "decided" later in formal session. This has the effect of cre­ ating a very dull, cut-and-dried meeting. Another way to avoid the spirit of public meet­ ings is for the board to call a special meeting. State law does not require much in the way of public notice. So a special meeting can be called follow­ ing a regular meeting or at any time board m e m bers want to act officially without being subjected to the public eve. Irresponsible or unconcerned citizens can e x pect their governmental units will move towards more secrecy and more private decisions. After all, it is easier, quicker and more efficient. But i t leads to poorer and poorer government with the rights of more and more people endangered. It means government by the few for the many who don't care enough about their collective business to be concerned until it is too late. INFORMATION PLEASE!

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1967 SHOP LOCALLY SHOP IN NASHVILLE AT THE FAMILY STORE Is Your CAR V Ready F For Summer? �Benefits available Burins chronic illness GORDON CHARLES Science is making some wonderful things happen in the out-of-doors these days. Among the many new devices you will soon be hearing about are in­ fra-red detection systems for the early discovery of potential forest fires and for super-accurate big game counts. It was less than a year ago that Ontario scored what was probably a "first" in North America when the pilot of a forest fire patrol plane pin-pointed an otherwise invisible lightning fire. It had been smouldering in a dead tree tor nearly a week. The Turbo-Beaver aircraft was equipped with an odd-shaped pad at its wing tip. (This was part of an infra-red detection system. ) When an instrument light flashed on, the pilot knew a heat source had been passed over, even though he had seen nothing out of the ordinary. He checked off the approximate location on his map and made another pass over the area. This time he turned'on the camera which is part of the system. Although no smoke was seen with the naked eye, development of the film showed a tiny white dot, indicating definite fire. It was two days later, how­ ever, before another plane watching tne area on pa trol saw a wisp of smoke. A fire crew was quicklv sent in and the blaze was killed before it could do any serious damage. Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests has been testing various infra-red detection scanners since 1962 and the latest system, produced by an Ottawa firm, shows considerable promise. In addition to pin-pointing fire sources before they become serious, this airborne system is also highly useful in mapping the boundaries of full­ scale forest fires, such as plagued Ontario last month. It can also determine whether forest fires are "dead out" once crews have brought them un­ der control. Here in Michigan, the University of Michigan is working on infra-red detection equipment which is even more sensitive to heat sources on the ground. There is little doubt now but what the very near future will see this type of equipment being used to count deer and possibly elk with a high degree of accuracy. A plane flying over a big game area can register with a camera what the human eye can't even see. Thus, if 10 or 12 deer are resting in a wooded area and screened by leaves, it will make no dif­ ference to the camera which is part of the infra­ red detection system. A specific number of white dots on the developed film will reveal the exact numoer of deer which were betrayed by their own body heat. Further refinements of this equipment will also make it possible some day to make accurate census counts of small game since various creatures give off different amounts of body heat. Heat-sensitive equipment will count what is desired and ignore the others. How about this science stuff? Great, isn't it? NEWS^ If long-term illness strikes, its physical effects may or may not be painful to bear. But the chroni­ cally ill are often faced with another kind of ordeal as painful in its way as the physical: while work is impossible, where is the money to come from?

To be eligible for benefits, the person must be unable to do not merely his own kind of work but any "ny work that his age, education and experience light qualify m'_' . 'him for. iIn most cases,. 'he would ’ ' need to have" social security work credits for at least five of the ten years before disability began. Age has nothing to do with it. If the person qual­ ifies, he is entitled to the same benefits as are nor­ mally paid at 65. This can mean as much as $339 a month for families, and $44 to $152 a month for individuals. Many people disabled by severe tuberculosis, em­ physema, or some other disease of breathing are now receiving benefits. Emphysema, in fact, ranks second among all diseases for which benefits are a­ warded. Additional information can be obtained from the local office of the Social Security Admin­ istration, or from your Christmas Seal association.

Club News 02690360 summer Bag Lake Water safety rules The danger of drowning from extended breatnholding under water was emphasized today by Mrs. Robert Jones of the Mid-Michigan Chapter of the Red Cross. Mrs. Jones said her warning was addressed to chil­ dren and teenagers who compete with each other to see who can stay under water the longest. "Youngsters who play this game are simply asking for trouble--and possible tragedy, " Mrs. Jones said. "Hyperventilating - taking several deep breaths be­ fore going under water - is a dangerous practice. This is what happens physiologically," she contin­ ued. "Before going under water an individual takes several deep breaths in order to build up as much ox­ ygen in the lungs as possible. This deep breathing, called hyperventilation, does increase the oxygen, but it lowers the carbon dioxide in the system. "After a period under water, because the carbon dioxide does not build up fast enough to trigger the breathing urge, the swimmer tends to stay under too long and may black out. Then, unless help is at hand to get him to the surface quickly, drowning will result. " She urged that parents make these facts known to their children and instruct them not to play the ' hslding-the-breath" game. The same principles apply to swimming under wa­ ter for long distances, Mrs. Jones Mid. tit.

The council has Deen making a study of such a code for the past several weeks to tie in with the new Zoning Code adopted earlier this year. The new code, adopted as a part of the Ordinance of the Village of Nashville, will go into effect 21 days from the date adopted, July 27. It is expected t o provide "good control, with ho hardships" and a copy of the code may be seen at the village hall The council also drew up a resolution that the property known as the Wheeler Boat Sales, the Pen­ nock Block Plant and gravel pit and the Nashville Locker Plant on the east side of Main street at the southerly edge of the village shall be rezoned as commercial property. These business places have been in existence for a long time. A public hear ing on the ammendment shall be held on the 10th of August at 7 p. m. This is the regular meeting time of the next council meeting, and following the public hearing a regular council meeting will take place when tne resolution will be adopted. The State Highway, M-66, runs through Nash­ ville's Main street, and is scheduled for re-surfac­ ing this summer. Because the State Highway de­ partment contract covers only 50 feet of blacktop, and Nashville's Main street is 55 feet wide in a stretch from Sherman street north about 200 feet beyond Washington street, the village council voted to have the remaining five feet of blacktop poured at the same time at a cost of no more than $660. The village of Nashville has but one police offi­ cer, and in view of recent rioting and hoodlum ac­ tivities throughout Michigan, the council passed a resolution permitting Police Chief Robert Parker to deputize local residents as assistant police officers in face of any emergency situations. In other business a motion was passed to allow the Michigan State Liquor Commission to transfer the liquor license of John and Gladys Wixson to just Gladys Wixson. They voted to pay $250 to the Fire Board; passed other bills in the amount of $4,898.07 and discussed at length dog complaints, blown out street lights, authorized the police officer to use village-supplied gasoline rather than purchase from local stations, and discussed the ticketing of cars for all-night parking on village streets.

We can get tins of blueberries ano strawberries, so if anyone wants these or sweet or sour cherries, be sure to call THIS week. We got in a new IGA toothpaste last week. It sells for 490a savings of 300 and 400 a tube over the well ad­ vertised toothpaste. We tried it and think it fine. Tom and Carma came in Friday night.

Film shows operation of State Legislature A 28-minute film designed to show Michigan citizens how the State Legislature operates is avail­ able to the public, according to State Representa­ tive Stanley M. Powell, Republican of Ionia. The film entitled "The People of the State of Michigan Enact, " was filmed in the State Capitol in L a n sing and depicts a freshman Legislator "learning the ropes" of his new job. Of particular interest, according to Representa­ tive Powell, is that the film shows how a bill is moved through the legislative process from its in­ troduction until it becomes law. Local groups and organizations may secure the film for their use by contacting Representative Powell in care of the State Capitol in Lansing. A (tenda Floral School Mrs. Edna Edwards of Nashville, who is associa­ ted with Maple Valley Floral, attended the Belen's Floral School of Design in Lansing. It was a 5-day course, and it covered care of flowers, arrangement of flowers, and how to handle wedding and funeral flowers. This course was the basic course of floral design and she has a B. S. S. D. certification. Claaa of 1920 meeta Locals Mr. and Mrs. Mark Norris and family of Grand Forks, North Dakota, are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Norris, for a short time. mm CHARLES If you have a hunting dog, or any other kind of dog for that matter, those coming August "Dog Days" can be rather hard On him. He will have to keep cool and this includes a con stant supply of fresh water. Some dogs, though, and particularly the retrieving type like Labs, d o n't know a good deal when they see it. They insist on picking up their water dishes and trying to move them around; thus dumping out the water. Well, a friend of ours solved this one in gcood shape by heading for an old auto junk yard. Th<lere he bought a couple of old brake drums. These he fitted out with some round, shallow that would just just nest inside the drums. His dogs tested out the ten-pound load afew times, then decided it just wasn't worth the effort. That was the last time they spilled their water. Ever stop to give a thought to the reason why a fish actually strikes a lure? Based on observations of researchers, these are some of the reasons: HUNGER: Fish stomach is empty but it was seen striking at minnows before it was caught. ANGER: Fish was spotted and 34 casts later it struck. GLUTTONY: With stomach and throat full, baas still strikes a plus. . GREED: Small fish suits for lure, bigger one beats him to it. CURIOSITY: Fish follows lure, strikes it at boat. REFLEX ACTION: Lure hits water, fish strikes instantiy. PROTECTIVE INSTINCT: Fish on spawning bed bumps lure away from area. What’s that? All the time you thought it was your skill? . After 47 years, ten of the fourteen living mem­ bers of the Vermontville high school graduating class of 1920 gathered at the tome of Mrs. John Gaut on West First Street for a picnic anniversary supper. Mr. and Mrs. Walter A dr io n( nee Bernice Gaut) of Corvallis, Oregon, were host and hostess. A Bohemian supper was served with 27 present The evening was spent in reminiscing. Out-of-town merpbers and guests were Mr. a nd Mrs. Merril Hunter Of Midland; Mr. and Mrs. Duane Hawkins and Mr, and Mn. Paul Taylor of Lansing, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Vincent of Detroit. Mr. and Mn. Hugh Whitmore of Eagle, Mrs. Hen­ ry Leatz of St. Joseph, Mrs. John Crue of Hastings, Garcia Vincent of Port Huron, Mike Reese of Bat­ tle Creek, 'Mrs. Ethel McLaughlin and Mrs. Ethel Shepherd of Charlotte, Mrs. Ethel Smith of Ionia, and Mn. Blanch Foltz of Sunfield. • Class members who attended from Vermontville were Mrs. Fred Kroger, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Tubbs, Mrs. Leta Nagle, and Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Southern. Mrs. John Gaut, mother of Mrs. Adrion, was a guest. Graduates of the class of 1920 have met an­ nually for this reunion since their twentieth anni­ versary which is a record which few if any other graduating class of Vermontville holds. Jackpot News It seems Nashville and Vermontville are having a difficult time giving any money away this sum­ mer. Last Friday night in Nashville there was one winner out of three. She was Veda Mix, and she collected $15 in scrip held at Wixson's Bar. The other two names drawn were Ruth Williams and Ruth Frost In Vermontville, the jackpot has stood at $100 for several weeks, and again last week, it was missed by Lyle Tyler, the scrip b^lng held at Jack's Standard Oil Next week's jackpot will re­ main at $100.

BACKSTREET BAROMETER Last Thursday evening, on my way home from Lansing I saw a fox cross the road about half way between the school and the railroad crossing. Mon­ day morning, at just about the same place there was a uead fox in the road. He had attempted to cross in front of someone who must have been mov­ ing a little faster than I was. After I saw the body of the fox on the side of the road, I watched along the short trip to Lansing for other bodies and saw many. ........ The automobile is a killer, not only ofpeople, but of the wild-life along the highway. The side* of the roads are filled with animals that have been hit and killed. Not too long ago I even taw a horse dead in the ditch and skid mark* on the road. It wu obvious that he had been hit. Almost every trip out on the highway one hits a sparrow, not to mention the thousands of flying in­ sects. The deer kill by automobile in Barry Coun- by john boughton ty alone must be great. I'll bet we kill as many with cars a* we do with guru. Maybe we will have to start a federal program to teach animals to look both ways before they cross the street. A friend of mine was telling me about a lady he knows who teaches kindergarten and in the spring of the year was tiling , the kids the Easter story, She went through le build-up and then told of the nailing of Christ the Cross. She insists it is true that just at this point in her story a little fellow jumped up and said, "Good grief, Mrs. Shaeffer, where in the world were the State Police?" Whether it is true or not, it make* a good story. Nashville may turn out to be the cleanest town in the state. The only litter we have a-* round town should belong to the dog* and cats. (I don't know why they refer to their young a* litters). The village has beautiful white waste receptacle* on Main street, for litter and at about the Mme time Leonard OU Company has put a litter barrel at the city limit* sign* so that folks co nto our town can dump their accumulated they are coming in. It is a good idea. Hope it work*. Locals Mrs. Floyd Osterstock of Lodi, Ohio, spent Tues­ day night of last week with her girlhood chum, Mu. Wuliam O. Dean.

The column, to be called ’•What's Your Opinion?" will give readers a chance to give their view* of points of interest in the community. We have always printed Letters to the Editor and have been happy to do so, but perhaps this column will give others the incentive to offer an opinion - even though it isn't as complete at a letter to the editor. Our desire in starting this col­ umn is to give a place for ideas to be presented and discussed, things one likes or dislikes with the com­ munity, rhnighn for improve­ ment* and changes if they are needed. The rule* for printing these com­ ment* will be similar to those we have maintained for Letter* to the Editor.

Says, in fact, he couldn't go fishing without her! For instance, he swipes her fingernail sanding boards to use in sharpening his fish hooks, sneaks her clear nail polish to touch up chipped spots on his casting lures and to batten down loose guide wind­ ings, borrows" her silver polish to brighten his spoons and spinners, latches onto a loose tablespoon to use as a fish scaler, and uses her vacuum clean­ er with the hose reversed to dry out his soggy boots after he gets home from a fishing trip. She can't even leave a rubber girdle lie around because he has discovered they can be easily cut in­ to skins and strips for enhancing the action of his plugs. Her refrigerator comes in mighty handy for preserving crawfish and nightcrawlers between fish­ ing trips. Her Easter bonnet with feathers is fair game for fly tying. Any kind of fur, from coats to neckpieces, works nicely for tying bucktails on jigs. Her manicure scissors make ideal floss trimmers. The floss? Oh, he unravels that from her hankies or scarves. Round earrings form excellent attractors to ha ng behind spinners. And, all small beads make color­ ful bearings on spinner lures. Yep, be admits, he even takes along her favorite sweater and slacks once in a while. With her in them, of course! Kidding aside, do you know why some anglers seem to have more "fisherman's" luck than others? There's one very good reason. Most anglers invest considerable money in rods and reels, then fail to pay the price in lures that is necessary to catch fish. affliance refair a service ELECTRICAL BUFFLIES & SERVICE HOURS: 8 am to 6 pm 8 am to 8 pm Fridays MISHLER'S APPLIANCE Sales A Service 219 North Main, Nashville Phone 653-3791 Thinking of a New Hair Do?

Mott of the time that is right down on bottom among the rocks and brush that inevitably take a heavy toll in plugs and jigs and other hardware. Loss of tackle is part of the price of fishing. And the willingness to pay this price often separates the amateur from the pro. The latter has learned from long experience that worrying about the well-being of a lure is false economy. Fortunately, not all lures that get hung up are lost A careful fisherman can shake most of them free and all that is lost is a few minutes of casting time. If you must worry about underwater obstacles, be concerned more about finding such spots than avoid­ ing them. When you sun snagging lures you will probably sun catching fish.

Urge physical examination for school age children "Children entering school tor the first time this fall should have a thorough physical examination now, " according to C. Allen Payne, MD, President of the Michigan State Medical Society. "Parents who wait until September make a m istake, " Doctor Payne continued, "because a defect which is found ujwn examination may take some time to correct. " "When a child goes to school he begins an im­ portant 12-year period of social and intellectual de­ velopment, " Doctor Payne said. "If a child is not in top physical condition, both learning and social adjustment can be impaired. " "For example, a child can have a vision defect or slight color blindness without anyone knowing it. Or his ability to hear certain tones may be weak. Since everything we learn comes through our senses',' the Grand Rapids physician continued, "a child can be missing a part of the wonderful world of color and sountfand have an unknown learning handicap.” "Also a pre-school examination can be a time tor - NOTICE At the regular meeting of the Village Council the resolution was passed that the property known as Wheeler Marine Service.

The child maybe having difficulty relating to people or problems con­ nected with obedience,' Doctor Payne continued. "The main reason for an early pre-school exam­ ination, " Doctor Payne concluded. " is to insure time for possible corrective medical work so that each child going to school can use his abilities and enjoy his faculties of learning to the fullest. " The MSMS President also pointed out that a pre- “ school examination affords an excellent opportun­ ity to up-date immunizations against the common infectious and communicable diseases such as pol­ iomyelitis, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, and smallpox. "Of course, " Doctor Payne added, "Immunizations against smallpox, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, measles, and poliomyelitis, and a skin test for tuberculosis are required for any ch'ild entering school in Michigan for the first time.

Farm News Schedule Beef events , Three top events for Michigan beef cattle feeders and breeders have been scheduled in early Septem­ ber, according to Art Steeby, Barry County Agr’lAgent. On Friday, September 1, the annual Beef Cattle Day will be held at Michigan State University.Steeby says reports on 26 different cattle feeding and housing experiments will be given. On September 6 at the Lyle Cunningham farm in Jackson county, a "Beef Enterprise Mechanization Field Day" wul be held. Cunningham feeds out 2, 000 head of cattle annually, grows 700 acres of com and makes 8, 000 tons of silage, most of it go­ ing into Michigan's largest trench silo. His new feed lot area, where fence line feeding by wagon is carried out, will be demonstrated in the morning. A silage-making demonstration will be held after a noon lunch at the farm. On September 8, says Steeby. an open house will be held at the MSU Agricultural Experiment Station at Lake City. The anunal husbandry department as­ sumed responsibility for the program at this station July 1, and it has become a Beef Cattle and Forage Research Station. Exphasis is being given to studies of cow-calf programs and their management, ex­ plains Steeby. The Barry County Extension office will be able to provide more information to interested beef cattle producers and feeders on these three educational programs. "They are all a part of Michigan State's programs in research and extension to keep Michi • gan farmers competitive," Steeby comments.

We feel sure that much wheat in the farmers' bln is carrying excess mois ture. If this wheat is left too long, it will become musty and weevily and sure to carry a very heavy discount. s~. We, don't wish to scare you into bringing this wheat to town, so to be sure we advise getting a grain prod and getting a good sample of the bin and have it tested, we have the grain prod and we will be glad to test it for you. There will be no charge. If you can't do this, we'll be glad to do it for you. Now - if your wheat should have excess moisture, it should be cried and we would like to have you know that our drying charges are among the lowest in the state. In fact, at some points we're almost paying you for water. Also, we still have storage space available if you ain't wish to sell at this time. CITIZENS ELEVATORS CL9-7225 VERMONTVILLE OL3-8741 NASHVILLE THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 10. 1967 T ■OKS �By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION CIVIL WRONG Core of the civil rights problem is that the A merican public does not yet accept concepts of e­ quality of opportunity on a personal commitment basis. The problem will not be solved until civil rights laws are translated into results, and it must happen at the community leveL Those are the be­ liefs of Burton I. Gordin, Executive Director of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. This office works with some of the situations blamed for recent race riots: charges of discrimin­ ation in employment, real estate transactions and others. It was created partly to reduce this sort of unfairness and, no doubt, in hopes of reducing pres­ sures between the races. "A short term pessimist; a long term optimist, "is the way Gordin describes himself. The top official in a civil rights organization has one of the toughest jobs in government, Gordin believes. It ranks with mayor, police chief and school superintendent. One measure of success, according to Gordin, is where the criticism comes from. If complaints are voiced by both the minority groups and the "estab­ lishment, ” chances are that the human rights office is probably doing its job. "Success strangles us, “ says Gordin. "The more we do, the more there is demand for our services." The state civil rights office has more complaints about job discrimination than anything else. These account for about 60% of their cases. Office records indicate that about 30% of the complaints have some basis in fact. Most of these are resolved in private concilation. About 70% of the complaints are drop­ ped. Unfair claims regarding housing make up the next largest segment of the office workload. Of these, 47% are dropped and 53% are settled satisfactorily. 1 Lo t of Blouses.', 1/2 OFF REG. PRICE THE FAMILY STORE FREE $198 ■------ BRUSH & A relatively new twist in civil rights movements, agrees Gordin, is the idea that there are more press­ ing issues that integration. More and mote Negro leaders, even if they do so reluctantly, adopt the idea that needed improvements cannot wait for in­ tegration. Integrated education, for example, is not dropped as a necessary goal. But better educa­ tion is vitally necessary right now in minority group areas. Immediacy takes precedence. A similar feeling exists regarding housing. Negro leaders are firm in the conviction that a Negro should be able to move into any neighborhood he can afford. But they see an immediate, severe need for any kind of better housing. Improvement now is the policy. It is desperately needed, and integration must wait until later. The Negro tench to feel, according to Director Gordin, that the fight for equlity in employment and use of public accommodation is largely won, at least in principle. Alternatives to solving the problems of equality for minority groups are so terrible to think of, says Gordin, that we simply must solve them. There has been much improvement in Michigan, and the civil rights director expresses the hope that the pace will quicken. He feels there might be a "polarization of extremes, " with small groups tak­ ing vastly separated positions. But he thinks these groups will be increasingly smaller and that the great middle segment of Michigan society will con­ tinue to bring about overall improvement.

This takes the form of resis­ tance, resentment, challenge and absence of coop­ eration. Officials expect the office to be satisfied when they simply state that there is no discrimin­ ation in face of charges to the contrary. The state office must conduct its own investigation, which irritates some local officials. There is a growing acceptance among police and housing officials for the position of the state civil rights office, especially since many of their inves­ tigations have shown that the police departments are operating fairly and without bias.

Others feel that the surest way to tell a country’s character is to examine the art it produces. Both are probably right, up to a point. But Gourmets have always insisted that the surest way to really know a country and its people is to study their eating habits . . . the food they eat, the way they cook it, and'their attitude to foods and eating habits alien to them. However that may be, the recipes we have chosen, are illustrative of true Jamaica cookery whose ingredients are readily available to our readers. Since fish is very important in the Jamaican diet, we have selected two fish recipes, a snack type dish called Sweet Potato Duckunoo, and a bread called Corn Pone. Jamaican Information Service aided on photos and copy. P SWEET POTATO DUCKUNOO 2 lbs. sweet potatoes 3 tsp. grated nutmeg % lb. brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla V4 lb. flour % tsp. salt Va lb. raisins 1 Vz cups unsweetened condensed milk Peel, wash, and grate potatoes. Add flour to the potatoes and mix well. Add sugar and flavoring to milk, mixing well until dissolved. Pour liquid over grated potato mixture and combine. Drop by tablespoon on pieces of aluminum foil. Make parcels of each. Place in boiling water and boil briskly for Ufa hours. (Corn meal may be substituted for sweet potatoes.) Serves 12. LOBSTER LIGUANA Meat and shells of 2 lobster tails % cup Soy Sauce Dash of Tabasco sauce 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter 1 cup cooking sherry Mix Soy Sauce, Sherry and Tabasco. Cut the lobster meat intc pieces, marinate in the mixture for at least 1 hour. Drain and place on a flat baking tin. Brush with oil and grill for 10 minutes, 3 inches from the flame, basting frequently with the marinade. Place the lobster meat in the shells. Baste generously with more of the marinade. Grill for a further 2 or 3 minutes. Serve at once in the shells. CORN PONE y4 tsp. mixed spice to cup flour i tsp. salt 1 cup sugar i tsp. nutmeg 3 cups unsweetened condensed milk 2 oz. raisins Sift together flour and corn meal. Blend together sugar, salt, nutmeg, mixed spice and milk. Add to corn meal mixture, stirring until dis­ solved. Pour into greased baking tin. Coat raisins with a little flour, add to mixture. Dot with butter and bake for 1% hours in moderate oven. 2 cups corn meal SPANISH SPRATS 1 dozen sprats (or any small fish . . . smelt, perch, trout} 1 cup finely ground peanuts Cooking oil Salt Black pepper % cup milk Prepare fish as for ordinary frying.

Fry fish quickly, turning once, until they are golden brown. Ground almonds are also very good in this dish. Serves 6. • �If you’re trying an instant tea for the first time, be sure it’s IOO% tea. Here’s why: Not all instant teas are 100% tea. Some are half-tea, half-additive. But Nestea is 100% tea. You see, Nestea didn’t want to change the pure tea flavor that made tea great in the first place—we just wanted to make it easier for you to make tea at home. And that’s what we did. Stir up a frosty glass and see how good it tastes. Because Nestea is 100% tea, it gives you all the refreshing lift of the best tea bags and loose teas.

Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota hog fanners know just about where we mean. :. But this operation not only produces feeders by the hundreds—he also feeds them right up to market weight with facilities and ideas that rival those found anywhere. Perhaps efficiency, sound principles and past experience is the key to the successful hog operation of Ramaco Farms near Manitowoc, Wisconsin by Elroy Waack. Better than 1800 hogs are finished a year and a herd of 120 purebred Berkshire brood sows is maintained. “We farrow the year round,” says Waack, "except for a six week break starting the middle of November. This gives us a chance to make repairs, clean up and paint up, as well v© as to take a short vacation. Along with the hogs, Waack produces some beef and has 160 acres in corn, 80 in oats and 100 in hay. He is assisted year-round by Carl Haese and in the summer by ]{]©©§ additional part-time help. “We use some of the feed we produce in our beef operation and sell the rest,” explains Waack. “We don’t feel we can afford the time to process our own hog feed. It’s more profitable for us to use quality controlled bulk commercial feed.” 6-Acre Set-Up Because the operation which consists of two farrowing houses, five brood sow pens and twelve growing and finishing units, is spread out over six acres, Waack feels his method of bulk handling feed is more economical than a completely automated feeding system. The money saved by volume buying bulk feed more than pays for the storage and handling units needed in his setup. He uses one 20-ton bulk tank for sow ration, a second for growing ration and a third * KILLS ON |klg|UI V amazing new scientific breakthrough!

NOVEL PRODUCTS CORP. >1 SmmW Aw., Mpt TH N Please print clearly. Carl Haese, year around employee at Ramaco Farms, walks in front of the functional brood sow confinement setup. Each 40 toot wide pen contains two metal quonset build­ ings — adequate room for 20 sows per pen. �day in and day out The practice has paid off already with a 11.9 average farrowed in the first 21 litters.” To make sure that each brood sow gets her proper ration of food without going to a com­ pete confinement setup, Waack designed ad­ joining 20-inch wide individual metal feeding stalls. These stalls are on an 18-foot wide con­ crete feeding platform which extends across the front of the brood sow pens. The stalls have open fronts to make filling easy and have roofs to protect from snow and rain. The amount of hand fed ration which is delivered to each pen in the morning depends on the stage of gesta­ tion of the sows in that pen. Ideas Galore Each of the five adjoining 40-foot wide brood sow pens contains two 9 by 12 foot metal build­ ings set on a 12-inch mound of hard packed ground limestone to keep the house dry. There is plenty of room for the 20 sows to exercise, which is just as important to good litters as diet and dry sleeping areas. The cost of the entire brood sow setup ran about $75 per sow. "About one week before farrowing, the sows are brought into one of our two 18 stall farrow­ ing houses,” says Waack. “Each house has a washing stall. We scrub down and disinfect each sow as it’s brought in. The pens are also cleaned up thoroughly between farrowings." - The 4te by 14 foot stalls are made of white oak which the hogs won't chew. Guard rails prevent sows from crushing babies. They also contain a three foot wide creep area, which is partitioned off at the front of each stall. These creep areas have thermostatically con­ trolled heating pads below them. Dampness and, to a lesser extent coldness, are the worst enemies of newborn pigs. For the first three days after farrowing a heat lamp is used. Then the heating pads take over. Initially the tern perature is set for 100 degrees. Every day it is lowered about a degree and a half until it is no longer needed. In cold weather the minimum setting is 55 degrees. This thermostat control (as compared to a continually burning heat lamp) cuts the electric bill enough to pay for Jthe gas heater, which is set at 55 degrees and reduces dampness throughout the building. Each stall has its own automatic watering unit Waack hand feeds twice a day while sows are in the farrowing unit Only the little porkers cun get in this part of the farrowing stall. Waack looks over part of a litter that looks like they've been eating well for a few weeks. Neck Shots “One aspect of hog raising that should re­ ceive wider consideration," said Waack, “is the placement of iron shots. I put the shot in the neck about a half-inch from the ear, using a short needle about %-inch long. Because the head moves around, you still get good dissemi­ nation, yet you avoid the chance of staining and spoiling an expensive cut of meat.” The pigs are weaned at six weeks and moved to one of 13 adjoining finishing pens. Even in winter Waack has had no problem moving either sows or feeders from the heated build ings to the outside. The finishing pens, which will handle 300 pigs at a time, are designed for hog comfort as well as efficient feed handling and clean­ ing. Each unit has an 8 by 16 foot house at the rear of an 8 foot wide, 40 foot long concrete runway. These houses are constructed of tongue and grooved boards which extend be low the floor to protect against rodents and wind. The front walls which face south are open. Board floors over the concrete in each house also add to hog comfort in cold weather Drainage is accomplished by a lVi-inch per foot slope in the floors. From the houses the runways slope south­ ward and form a “T" at the front of each lot. On one side of the “T” the 1-ton self feeders are located and on the other side the self waterers. These waterers are the recirculating type which allow liquid supplements and medi­ cines to be added. The water is pumped from a central tank to the individual pens. "Both feeders and waterers are raised on a 4-inch concrete slab,” says Waack. “They waste less feed and their water stays cleaner this way.” * Light Chores A concrete driveway runs along the front of the pens to make filling the self feeders and cleaning the pens easier. A minimum amount of care is required with this setup. The only daily work is an inspection of the hogs. The feeders hold a 4 to 7 day supply of ration and it takes little time to fill them. The pens are cleaned weekly, a job that takes less than an hour. Each of these units, which sends 210 to 225 pound pigs to market in about five months, cost Waack about $900 to have built. Everything considered, the well planned sys­ tem Waack has developed has proved to be an economical balance of maximum convenience, health and litter size with minimum labor and investment.

They were to travel down the Thornapple river, then pick up the Grand river near Grand Rapids and continue to Grand Ha­ ven. It all started when a couple of boys asked M r. Wion to join them on a canoe trip. Mr. Wion at first said "no” because he was doing some painting during his summer vacation. But upon the promise of these two boys, Chris Boughton and Joe Barrette would donate a week's work apiece with the paint jobs, he consented to go. From there things began to mushroom until by Wednesday morning there were 16 ready for the trip in the eight canoes that had been rounded up. Some of the youths had never paddled a canoe before, but what's a 100 mile trip to a novicel Making me trip besides Mr. Wion, Chris and Joe were Dale Fisher, Tom Simons, Stanley Graham, Dick Wion, Raymond Garvey, Kenneth Foote, Dar­ win Foster, Larry Shance, Steven Gaedert, Karl Kane, Gary Belcher, Steven Cates and Dennis Lind­ berg.

The column, to be called "What's Your Opinion?" will give readers a chance to give their views of points of interest in the community. We have always printed Letters to the Editor and have been happy to do so, but perhaps this column will give others the incentive to offer an opinion - even though it isn’t as complete as a letter to the editor. Our desire in suiting this col­ umn is to give a place for ideas to be presented and discussed, things one likes or dislikes with the com­ munity, thoughts for improve­ ments and changes if they are needed. The rules for printing these com­ ments will be similar to those we have mainuined for Letters to the Editor. Comments should be sign­ ed although the name does not have to be printed if you prefer not. We would wish that those sending ideas would consent to printing of the name for we feel if one has an opinion and feels strongly enough to give it, he should also be willing to sign his name and admit that it is his i­ dea or suggestion. Perhaps we could give this ques­ tion out to our readers - "What would you like available in our community which is not now here?' and suggest that comments be made and sent to us for next wee ki paper. Most of the comments we have received this past week were from Nashville residents, but cer­ tainly the same question and the comments should be received from the Vermontville residents. Please send in your comments and p e r haps some new ideas will come about through the column. Celebrates Birthday / MAPLE VALLEY Business Service Bookkeeping & Tax Service DALE H.

The response was so favorable that the meeting date was arranged.

Among the many items on the agen­ da were the adoption of the budget for the 1967­ 68 school year, and accepting the students of the Gresham school district on a tuition basis for a per­ iod of one year. The Gresham distrwf' north-of Vermontville has an enrollrfiertt of approximately 50 students. They operated their own school last year sending the ir high school students into Charlotte. Since Char­ lotte is not accepting tuition students this year, and there is no teacher available for the Gresham dis­ trict, the Maple Valley board has received a pe­ tition asking annexation to Maple Valley. It would be in September or possibly early October before an annexation vote could take place, thus a repre­ sentation from the Gresham district attended Mon­ day night’s meeting to ask this district to take their students on a tuition basis until a vote could be called. After much discussion the board voted unanimously to accept them, except those seniors who would still desire to finish at Charlotte. The new budget calls for anticipated expendi­ tures of $826, 258. 00. The anticipated receipts, $784, 617. 75, thus leaving the deficit of $41, 640. 25 to be taken from the general fund bal­ ance. Last year's budget called for $7 13, 676. 25. Included in the anticipated receipts would be property taxes in the amount of $156, 909. 60; from the vocational education program including agri­ culture, homemaking and office practice, $3,149. 00; driver education, $3, 950. 00; state aid, FOR SAFE DRIVING LET US Check Your GET THOSE EXTRAS THAT COST NOTHING!

About the worst vacation we ever had was when the two eldest kids were little and we rented a cot­ tage at a lake down iriithe southern part of the state. Of course, we had to make arrangements for the cottage long in advance and it was a beau­ tiful summer right up to the week we went to the cottage. It then turned cold, rained, and blew. The kids couldn't go out of the cottage because it was so cold and wet. The kitten which we took This has got to be the coldest summer we have ad in these parts since the great glacier retreated. Just about every night our furnace comes on and have to get up and bump the thermoter down a otch or so. One of these days 1*11 just let it stay ■n. . Now that we are planning on takine a couple of lays off for a short vacation. I’ll just bet the readier will turn even colder. Somewhere in the ;reat planning board there is a member who sees What’s your opinion. We have a news story in this news­ paper about a meeting scheduled in /ermontville to pursue the possibiliies of forming a Youth Center in his area. In discussing this meeting ind the need for a project such a s his, the following observations were made by Thom Keith, owner of the Sugar Hut Cafe in Vermont­ ville. A meeting held on August 16 was attended by some interested adults and a larger number of interested young people. The opinions express­ ed by these persons (and Mr. Keith) were to the effect that there was a definite need in this area for such a center, or some place where the young people could meet and work ■.ogetner. It was further discussed that should such a project become possible, and a location established, much of the work of the operation and forming of this organization should be conduct­ ed by the youth themselves. They felt this, in itself, would be very worthwhile and desirable to them. We printed a letter to the editor­ in last week's paper which contained a request similar to this- - two girls wrote and stated they wished'there was a place for the young people to to, to dance, to have meetings, peraps to swim. i„ _L_ discussion ”______ ‘ " ' ■ In the with Mr. Keith, apparently * there is sufficii sufficient interest along the line of securing j a swimming facility ofr some sort to make this a ,part of such a projei project. ' The’meeting scheduled for Sept. 23 is open to any and all residents, of both communities, and it is hoped that many young people, as well, will attend the meeting to indicate their desires and willingness to work to gain such a center. Something of this type is not pos­ sible without much hard work, many persons working together toward the same goal, and much determina­ tion. Certainly, a project such a s this must have a start, must b e gj n with an idea, and grow from there. It looks like the Youth Center has a beginning - let's hope the enthusi­ asm will be catching and the coop­ eration of many adults (along w ith the young people) will be sufficient to warrant making plans and pro gress. Know Your Newspaper Better Dear Editor Now This Is What I Think! Did you ever write a letter to the editor? than to be out tn such weather. All-in-all it was quite a vacation. We were cold and wet all through it and there was never a bunch of people happier to get back to the warmth of their own little home than we were. Even the dog was glad.to be home, and she welcomed a chance to swim at almost any time. Of course, just as soon as our vacation was over it sunny. It always does that. Allen Brace me the other day that _ eloped a rooster that lavs eggs. So far as I can see, this is a complete waste of time. I can see no reason why an egg-laying rooster would be any advantage. There is no reason to believe that he will lay better eggs or more of them than the hens do and I’m not at all sure I would even want to try a rooster egg. I'll just bet that the guy who developed the egg­ laying rooster is on a government grant of some sort, and we are helping to pay him for such han­ ky-panky. If the truth were known I'll bet that even the rooster does not take too kindly to this type of carrying on. It would seem that the union will get after them and make them stop this sort of thing.. Both the hen's union and the rooster's union should see to it that it ends with just this one rooster. An entire country full of egg-laying roosters we don't need. He also told me that within a few yean they will have developed a very small chicken which lays great big eggs. They are fooling around with na­ ture. There was also a report the other day that the ' *import- French • wasps which • • they US is going to hope will control the beetle which causes Dutch Elm disease. They are asking for it here too. It just might turn out French politics being that it is today, those darn wasps will take a cue from high up in the gov­ ernment and go around stinging Americans. Big Charlie would like that. Sunday we were driving along M-66 just north of town and Amy saw a big owl sitting on top of a telephone pole. We concluded that he had spent a night out with the boys and just didn't get back be­ fore dawn. Someone told me owls can canY ’t see to fly in the daylight. This poor fellow was probably grounded, or poled until it got dark again. He is going to have some tall explaining to do to his wife when ’ ’ he' does„ get' home. . “You see dear, I started <■out- in ■ plenty of time, but this sparrow stopped , ___me and asked for directions and be offered me *a drink and one tl led to another and before I knew it, dawn had :en." . ► - It's fun to see yourself in print. But actually, you're not writing to only the editor. If he prints your letter—and he probably will—you are really writing to all the thousands of readers of this newspaper. That's a substantial body of readers, but don't let that scare you . . . write as if you were talking to just one of them. I would also like to comment on how nice the park downtown looks now that new shrubs have been put in the circular section of the park. Each one should make it a point to go over and look at the park and see how nice it looks. What Do You Write About? Perhaps you are really mad at the editor Kslrae and want to tell him off on some opinion he has voiced. Perhaps you can't contain yourself any longer on some important local issue. Per­ haps you just like to sound off now and then on topics of current interest. Whatever you choose, the "letters to the editor" column is your opportunity to speak your opinions. We Welcome Good Letters In writing them, please follow the rules printed at the top of the letters column. These ■ rules ask that you keep your letters reasonable in length, reasonable in tone . . . free of de­ famatory matter. Remember, the editor* must "boil down" your letter if loo long, and will take out statements that are libelous . . . even though the letter has your name printed underneath.

TMMMT, AUGUST M, IBM r �--------------------- - VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE Concerning: Sewer System Early in Februaitry, 1966, *Stanley Trumble, Village President at ithat time, received a notice from State Water Resources the Michigan C_. _ Commission,. that they found evidence that the drainage system hare in Vermontville was causing contamination to the Thomapple river, and that raw sewage was go­ ing into the river. He was requested to send a rep­ resentative from the ViUage Council to Lansing on February 25th to meet with the Commission. Chas. Viele was appointed to go to this meeting. He re­ ported back to the local council at the next regu­ lar meeting. The village of Vermontville, M ichigan, Eaton County, population 768 persons. Waste from 30 inch sewer, near West Village limit, approximately 200 yards south of Scipio road, are being discharged in­ to an open ditch which drains into the Thomapple river. Bacherial analysis of the waste, made on February 1, 1966, show a concentration of fecal coliform of 75000 organisms per 100 Mi. The dis­ charge was turbid and had a slight odor, an accum­ ulation of black sludge was observed at the outlet. There will be no. action taken against the village at the present time. However, the council knows that before long we will be demanded to arrange for a sewer system. An engineering firm, Williams and Works, of Grand Rapids were contacted and asked to make a survey of the village, and to draw up plan suitable for the village of Vermontville, of a sewer system. On March 25th, 1966, Mr. Kenneth Anderson and Mr. Chas. Olsen of Williams and Works met with the council to present a large map they had pre­ pared to ........ set-up tern. Their thought being that alagoon system would be best here. For this system there Would be the need of about 40 acres of land. The ponds tak­ ing up about 12 acres. The engineering firm offer­ ed several ways as to means of financing such a plan. They suggested applying for a government grand or loan, selling G. O. (general obligation bonds) or revenue bonds. They feel that perhaps we might get a grant from the Farm Home Administra,tion (FHA.) n an application was made right a We were advised way to the FHA for such a ■ i there is a long that this would take some 1 waiting list, but our application was. accepted cor-­ Out first concern at this time is to try and cor rect the condition of the present system; to try to keep the output from the sewers as nearly right with standards as we can. We realize that the present drainage system is old, inadequate for the amount of water it has to take, and that in too many cases, raw sewerage is being emptied into them, t the first meeting in January, 1967, i work, and the village income rather limited, the governing governn body voted to increase the millage from 12. 5 to 15 mills which is permitted by law. This seemed necessary as the cost of labor and materials have risen so sharply. The extra money will also help on the cost of the sewers. At the April meeting Mr. Mills reported that he had received word from the engineering firm that they have already been working on drainage possi­ bilities for Vermontville. They requested a written confirmation on going ahead in drawing up prelim­ inary plans for storm sewers. This will cost the vil­ lage $1, 000. 00. Chas. Viele made the motion that the firm of Williams and Works be advised to go a­ head and prepare the preliminary plan for storm sewers. Motion was supported by Donald Hummel. AU ayes, motion carried. • Our maintenance man is at present working to correct a bad condition on East First street. At the May meeting Williams and Works again at­ tended the meeting. They had forms that had to be signed regarding a federal loan. He also explained how the oxidation system works, lift stations, etc. They presented a resolution they had drawn up. Cleo Prescott made a motion to adopt the resolution a s presented by the firm Williams and Works. Chas. Viele supported this motion. All ayes. Motion car­ ried. . With a large project of this kind the councilmen feel it is necessary to obtain the services of a law­ yer. It was agreed to see if Mr. George Watson, Att would act for the village of Vermontville. Mr. Wat­ son agreed to be our legal advisor. At the June meeting there had been reported a drain problem at the Michigan Magnetics plant on W. Third street. They asked that several council members come and examine the situation. This was e "FALL" Is Here Be the "Head” OF YOUR CLASS WITH A "Teen-Topper" CLOSED WEDNESDAYS HOOTS wuun SHOP done. These men feel that the trouble is not entire­ ly the fault of the village drains, that the Michigan Magnetics should therefor agree to pay part of the cost of the necessary work. It was decided to put in a larger tile. We will ask for bids on the work. Bids to be in by the July meet­ ing. Magnetics also have need for more parking space. They are already using some of the field at the Wa­ ter Works. They have asked for extra space on the lot. Mr. Watson, Att., thinks that a written agree­ ment should be drawn satisfactory to both parties. This should designate the amount of space the Mag­ netics wish to use, type of parking they intend to use and so on. Vernon Trowbridge made a motion to grant Michigan Magnetics permission to put in park­ ing facilities on the village-owned lot, as per Mr. Watson's suggestion, an agreement be drawn up, specifying that at any time the village Water Works have need for the entire lot, the agreement would terminate. This will be set up on a lease basis. Cleo Prescott supported the motion. AU ayes. Motion car­ ried. At this time several places have been suggested as good spots for a sewerage disposal plant. Willi and Works have been advised of this and wishi to send a couple men down, and with at least two of <our men look these places over. One spot in view is south of the railroad on the west side of the road. Clair (Pat) Hager is the owner. He is asking $100.00 per । acre. We received bids for the work at the Magnetics from Albert Ainsworth, Roger Wells and Lyle Ken­ yon. Ainsworth submitted the lowest bid therefor he has been given the job. At tile Sept, meeting, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ol­ sen of Williams and Works came along with Mr. Lyle Buxton and Wm (Bill) Hill who represent the Farm Home Administration in Eaton County, to re­ port progress on sewers up to this time. Also the prospect of a federal grant or loan for such a pro­ ject. Mr. Anderson figures that the maintenance cost of a sewerage system would amount to approx­ imately $17, 000. 00. It was their thought that a plan such as adopted for the Water Works system be established. It is fully understood that to put in a sewer sys­ tem will cause a big indebtedness to the village, but as both sanitary and storm sewers are needed, they are both to be included in the plan to be drawn up. All work could then be done at one time, thus the streets would have to be tom up only once. This alone would cut the costs. It has been estimated that the cost for storm sewers would add around $70, 000. 00 to the original cost. Mr. Buxton and Mr. Hill assured us they are work­ ing on the behalf of the village of Vermontville to­ ward a grant. Williams and Works have already preliminary plans drawn up. Cleo Prescott made a motion authorizing them to present these plans to the Federal Home Administration for consideration. Chas. Viele supported*tnis motion. An ayes, mo­ tion carried. In looking over the parcel of land south of the railroad, the engineers are sure it is not a good spot. They did agree that a plot of land located on the Anderson road was o. k. It is on the north side of the road, just east of the Frank Dunham property. This land has been purchased from Clair and Grace Ha­ ger at the cost of $8, 660. 00. The oxidation ponds will be at this point. It will be necessary to cross the Frank Dunham property to reach the river flats, where the ponds will eventually empty. The vil­ lage has obtained a Right of Way from Mr. and Mrs. Dunham. * Again in May representatives from both the en­ gineering firm and the Farm Home Administration met with the council They have been working hand in hand toward getting a grant for Vermont­ ville so that we might go ahead with sewers. It seems there are more demands for money from FHA than is available at this time. However, w e were assured that the monies we have spent up till now were not spent in vain. Mr. Buxton wished for an expression from the council, in the form of a resolution, that they proceed with plans to obtain a loan for sewers. Cleo Prescott made a resolu­ tion that Farm Home Administration proqced with loan as previously asked for. Chas. Viele supported the resolution. AU ayes. Carried. We have again been notified by the Water Re sources that they wish to have representatives from the village council meet with them August 29th or 30th, 1967. A second meeting with them was in June at which time they gave us an extension of 60 days. The third meeting wUl be the August one. In August Mr. Watson called for a special coun­ cil meeting. He has been making a study whereby the village of Vermontville might be able to ob­ tain fonts to get started on a sewer system. He sug­ gested General Obligation or Revenue Bonds. A third idea was for special assessment, by vote of the people. Mr. Watson will again, along with a member of the village council, meet with the Water Resources Commission. Mr. Watson feels that we may be faced with court action demanding that the village of Vermontville construct a sewer system. He also feels that an open meeting be called so as to ac­ quaint the citfasem, with an facts concerning this big project. So you see while It is a slow process, work has and to being done to make this project a reality. 1Sc Let* Nagle, Village Clerk If you have... been on a trip... entertained guests ... celebrated a birthday... married your secre­ tary. .. caught a big fish... moved... had a baby.. sold your cows... had an operation__ bought a car... painted your house.. had company.. /been married... cut a tooth... died... sold out... been robbed... been shot...

VOLUME 95 10 Cerm a Copy THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, Village Council votes to rescind rezoning proposal The NashviHe village council Thursday evening voted to rescind a proposal to rezone an area in the southern part of the village from residential and ag­ riculture to commercial The area included the Nashville Locker plant, Wheeler Boat Sales and the Pennock Concrete Block company. There had been heated discussion the past few weeks concerning the three business places which have been in operation many years. Inadvertently, when the new zoning ordinance was put into effect last January 1, this area had been included in the residential area. The council had planned to cor­ rect what they felt was a mistake. But a number of residents of the area, including two of the business­ es who operated establishments there, protested the move to rezone to commercial The only exception was Mb. Clara Seeley, owner of the Locker plant. The dissention came out in a public hearing held two weeks ago. Mrs. Seeley plans to seU her plant to Richard Chaffee. He wishes to reopen the slaugh­ ter house in connection with the plant. This portion of the business had not been in operation since April 1966, although her state permit did not expire until, January 1967. Now Mr. Cnaffee plans to take his problem to the board of appeals, a local group which has been appointed earlier for just such emer­ gencies. He has already had an indication from the state that he can procure a license to slaughter when all specifications are met. The council also approved recommendations made by Donald Langham, administrator or the Zoning and Building department, to charge a fee of $3. uO to check zoning restrictions; $5. 00 for building per­ mits up to $10,000 and an additional $10. 00 for construction costing over $10, 000.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. 1967 NUMBER 14 John Stark given coveted “God and Country Award” The coveted "God and Country Award" of the Boy Scouts of America was presented to Explorer Scout John Stark at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Hastings, during the Sunday morning services o n August 27. John is the grandson of Mrs. Gordon M. French, of 434 South Mam Street, Nashville, and a member of Troop 171. He began work on this award a year and a half ago at the Episcopal Church in Mesa, Arizona, completing the requirements during the past year under direction of the Rev. Don M. Gury, Rector of the Hastings parish, who conducted the award ceremony. Requirements for the "God and Country Award” as outlined by each denomination are considered the most difficult of any achievement in Scouting. There are three stages required by the Episcopal Church, each involving specific items of study, worship, fellowship and service. Review of the completed program by a special review board o f the local congregation leads to recommendation to the District Scout Executive that the award be auth­ orized, and the official denominational badge and lapel insignia be presented. John is a 1967 graduate from Maple Valley high school, and he will enter Albion College next week. To discuss sales promotion tember 7th at 8:00 p. m. at the Castleton Township Hall for the purpose of discussing Sales Promotion plans.

AU interested business people in the community are encouraged to attend this meeting to help for­ mulate some plant for such an event. lews Interest expressed in forming Art Group Attending the recent Evans school reunion were four generations of the Mapes family; M rs. Sarah HamUton-Mapes-Martens, who attended as an 8th grader in 1901; her son Walter Mapes a student for eight yean; her granddaughter. Mrs. Barbara Olmstead who went through the fun six grades and men attended Bellevue school; and her great-grandson. Brad, 14, whose early school tag was as a student here. Walter's father, the late Floyd Mapes also attended the Evans school, as did his grandfather, the late Walter Mapes. Mrs. Olmstead’s other three children. Eric, Kurt and Tammy also attended the Evans school - -Photo by Gladys Richardson Eleven persons attended a meeting Wednesday eve­ ning, August 23rd at the Castleton Township Hall and discussed their opinions in regard to forming an > art group with members from both Nashville and Vermontville. Persons attended from both communities and many others were unable to attend because of vacation plans, but had indicated their interest in such an or­ ganization and their willingness to help with such a group. Discussion centered around the probability of classes being held, some activity for those interest­ ed in crafts and hobbies as well as those wishing painting instruction, and the investigation of by­ laws and the proper way for such a group to become organized. Mrs. Eva Arntton from Vermontville offered to obtain information from Olivet College in regard to securing instruction ‘or classes through their Continuing Education department Mrs. Eunice Priddy, Mb.Sena French and Mrs. Amy Boughton will read through by-laws of other groups and make some recommendations for the group along this line. Those attending the meeting were very much in favor of making plans for art shows and exhibits, per­ haps placing pictures or displays in some of the va­ cant stores in both communities and many were pleased with the possibility of securing art instruc­ tion of some type. Mrs Priddy made mention of the fact that when a group is properly organized, witif a membership fee charged, some formal programs are possible with lectures, movies or even art demonstrations a r ranged. Workshop type programs can be set up also. A meeting date will be arranged the latter pan of September and it is hoped that many more persons will be able to attend this meeting. Those attend­ ing are asked to bring some work of an to exhibit, a drawing or painting or anything they might wish to show. The date and meeting place will be a n nounced later. �- One of our favorite people, Ernie Swift, raised an interesting question sometime back. Writing f< the National wildlife Federation, he asked, "u conservation for the multitude?" de who He went on to tell about a paying particular attention to the "little things" to be found there. This includes the study of bird life, plants, flowers and rocks, among other things. By way of comparison, he told of a highway that ran north into Canada. On this route is a constant parade of overloaded can, trailers, various camp­ ing outfits, and oversized boats.

New Postmaster named for Vermontville office ■ Vermontville is to have a new postmaster. H e will be Lawrence Frith of Route 2. In a letter written by Sen.

The postoffice department will contact you very she ly concerning the details of your appointment." Mr. Frith served ai icting postmaster from July ice men the position has been 1959 to May 1961.

UNITED FUND ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of die Nashville Area Uni­ ted Fund has been set for Thursday, September 7, at 7:30 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Michael Appelman. 335 N. Main. The public is invited. «MaM A day or two over at Port Sanilac gave us a time to once again walk along the beaches of Lake Hur­ on, soak up a bit of sun, pick up pretty stones and watch the gulls cavort. •VM4 This is a busy week for kids, teachers, and par­ ents! The book store at the high school has been a busy place and boys have been out far football prac­ tice Even the band has been out marching. Seems kinds good, although I must add. this is a parent's view, and perhaps others view it differently. Ernie's thoughts along these lines make a person stop a moment for a personal look-see. What are we trying to get from the outdoors? Is it simply lim­ its of game birds or animals we want? Is it a heavy stringer full of fish? If these are our main objectives when we seek recreation in the outdoors, then perhaps we are cheating ourselves. There is no reason why we can't hunt or fish as we always have and add the great big PLUS of en­ joying the other smaller, but no less important, parts of the outdoors. Next time you are in the outdoors seeking relax­ ation, take time to slow down your frantic pace. Take time to watch the antics of a chipmunk, die busy activity of a songbird or perhaps me beauty of a late flower which has been missed by the frost. day of hunting and fishing. NASHVILLE SYRUP ASSOCIATION TO MEET Association will hold an oThe Nashville S’ ay at 7:30 on August 31 at The purpose of the meeting will be discussion of repairing and finishing of the addition to the Sugar Shanty. BACKSTREET BAROMETER A c*II from Frank Ritchie at the Hastings Contumen office Monday gave an explanation for the black-out period this area experienced Saturday evening. It appears that lightning struck a line feeding electrical power to the village on Saturday about 6:00. The power was off for a period of about 40 minutes. We were away for a couple of days and didn't ex­ perience this "black-out", however, we did have to go through the house and re-set all of the clocks which appeared to be a bit behind schedule! "Some have a destination," he said, "but many are urban gypsies vainly looking for a recreational rainbow. They are racing too fart to some unknown Utopia to see the roadside flowers--and couldn’t i­ dentify them if noticed. The birds go unnoticed and unnamed; trees are simply trees with no eye for :iation of Sood or bad forestry practices; an appreciation ind management is as remote as Man. "They are a cross-section of the Great American Public, i he continued, "with a sensitive eye for rootbear stands, nightclubs and rest rooms instead of the vast complex of nature which they are past­ ing through. At a filling station they either ask a­ bout or complain about the fishing. They want to know if there is a resort close by with a swimming pool; and where there is a good place to eat. O n occasion the1 by john boughton It is nice to see some activity being made along the line of working toward a Youth Center. A meet­ ing is scheduled for September 23 in Vermontville, at their park, and all from both communities should plan to attend if they are interested or con­ cerned about a project such as this. This could well be like our school situation. Neither community could do alone what the two communities (c o m bined) could manage easily. The Art meeting held last Wednesday night in Nashville seems to indicate that between the two communities there is a nucleus for a rather good­ sized art organization. Our congratulations to John (O'Malley) Stark on winning the hirfi Scout award, the God and Country Award. We realize this represents much work on O'Malley's part, and certainly be is to be commend­ ed for carrying through with this work. * We have known O*Malley for a time as a neigh­ bor and friend of our children - and we want to add our bit of congratulation. uicHieu tats AUVEJ ^SSZ'^’SS 1.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION states will have sponsored by the d-sell” trade missions abroad. Four­ teen states have found such missions so profitable that they will have sponsored two such missions by the end of this year. Several states have already sponsored three or four. Michigan has sponsored none this year. New York runs a consistent advertising program in foreign newspapers which promotes state products and guarantees that by clipping the enclosed coupon foreign importers will be contacted by New York firms within ten days. The state makes good its promise, says Sen. Burs­ ley. All inquiries are handled by computer system. The first year this system was installed it handled some 50, 000 product inquiries. Michigan representation is poor at foreign shows and fairs. In 1966 sales for companies from other states, represented at 43 shows, totaled $84. 4 mil­ lion; an increase of $20 million over the year pre­ vious. As overseas markets broaden, Michigan's manu­ facturers and producers should be reaping there- * wards. But they are not. Although Michigan now has the nation's "fourth seacoast", the St. Lawrence Seaway, it is still out­ distanced by close-to-home competitors, such as Ohio. In 1966 some 100 Michigan firms particioated in trade fairs or trade-center shows. The number should have been at least five times as large, Sen. Bursley notes. LOSING EXPORTS Michigan is losing $100 million annually by not cultivating overseas markets for its products, esti­ mates Sen. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann Arbor), chair­ man of the international Commerce Committee. Michigan State Senate. This potential increase over the state’s current export total of 31. 5 billion would create up to 5,000 new jobs each year. While other states, notably New York and Califor­ nia, have ve used imaginative and a; aggressive -------- ‘-------------promo­ tion to iincrease world... markets for their .products, Michigan has done little by comparison.

WOODARD S MOBIL SERVICE OL 3-2581 Nashville IP* New from Quality products of Michigan are well known and would be welcome in foreign markets, according to the Senator. Yet, in these fast-rising markets, the state's pro­ portionate share of sales seems to be declining. In 1954 Michigan was the second largest supplier of imports. By 1963, while other states such as New York had doubled their sales abroad, Michigan's in­ crease was so slight as to drop the state to eighth place. Some measures have been taken to increase for­ eign markets.

On Saturday afternoon she and Edith Jones called on her sister, Mrs. Edith Alsover, at the Medical Facility inChar­ lotte. , Michigan. The World Trade Program of the Michi­ gan State Chamber of Commerce is increasing ex­ port promotion. Export conferences, sponsored by the World Trade Program, the International Com­ merce Committee, the Detroit World Trade Club, and some of the state's major bands and universities have resulted in some awakening of foreign market potential. More needs to be done. Sen .Bursley recommends a five-point program. First, an International Com­ merce Division should be created. The internation­ al activities of the Department of Agriculture and the State Tourist Council should be expanded. A World Trade Advisory Council should be crea­ ted to advise the Governor, Legislature and effect­ ed state agencies on international trade activities of the state and help coordinate international trade programs. A minimum of four industry-organized trade mis­ sions should be sponsored within the next fiscal year. At least two all-Michigan-products shows, one in the Far East and one in Europe, should be staged at US Trade Centers within the next fiscal year. Michigan overseas offices, operating under Com­ merce Department direction, should be established for both Europe and the Far East. Although costly, the benefits of an expanded program would be justified by creating new jobs, new profits, and a rise in living standards. Vast, untapped sources of sales abroad will also lessen Michigan’s economic dependency on the na­ tion's fluctuating demand for automobiles. Michi­ gan has the talent, the products, the industry and the seacoast. All it needs is the promotion. Legal STATE OF MICHIGAN, Probate Court for the Coun­ ty of Barry. Estate of Alma A. Hinder!iter.

Who are the people that need immunization?PHS is specific about it: (a) those 45 years old or more, and particularly those over 65; (b) those who have a chronic illness; (c) patients in nursing homes, chron­ ic disease hospitals, and comparable places; (d) pregnant women. If you are in any of these groups, and haven't. been vaccinated against flu since 1963, you should have the new vaccine--two injections, a month a­ part. If you have been immunized since July, 1963, all you need is a single booster of the new vaccine. The National Tuberculosis Association and your local Christmas Seal organization, dedicated to fighting aU respiratory diseases, recommend early action to protect yourself against the oncoming flu threat if you are in one of the vulnerable groups.

The bride was given away by her father. She wore a floor-length gown of nylon lace over satin with long lace sleeves. The gown, made by the bride, had an empire waist and an A-- line skirt which featured a lace detachable chapel-length — .train. She carried an orchid with streamers of loveme-nots on a white Bible.

"That time of year" isn't very far off--the winter season with its threats of serious flu outbreaks. This year the Surgeon General of the US Public Health Service, Dr. William H. Stewart, is rather emphatic about the danger. Flu cases may be ex­ pected in "substantial numbers, " he warns. Which flu bug is the bugaboo this time? Much of the trouble is liekly to be caused by type A-2, ac­ cording to Dr. Stewart. Fortunately, we the people aren't defenseless. An improved vaccine has been found effective against disease agent A-2, and promises better protection than any in the past. Meanwhile, back at the Public Health Service, it is urgently suggested that those in need of flu immunization should take care of the matter right after October 1st if possible.

On record in the Eaton County courthouse, Char­ lotte, is the lease drawn up back in March 1844 for a section of ground which was to become the s i te of the Evans school house. The lease called for "consideration of six cents" which was to be paid annually. Since that time school has been held in the Ev­ ans district each year with the exception of 1 94 6 when, because of World War II. there was no teach­ er and the students were sent into Bellevue. Students came and went, and for many of the "oldtimers" the eight years they attended the Evans school was all the education they ever received. In later years the upper grades—seventh and eighth-were transferred to Bellevue. Last spring the district voted to consolidate with Bellevue, so when school opens next week the doors on this little rural school will remain closed. The first Evans school, located on Butler road, was built in Kalamo township, southeast of Nash­ ville, just over the Barry county line in Eaton county. Then in 1880 the present school was built across the road and about a half-mile farther east, in Bellevue township. The early records have been destroyed, but there are records which go back to 1866. They relate that 2 mills were raised that year. Sketchy records states that the teacher in 1866 was Rachel Day. She re­ ceived $70. 00 for three months teaching. In 1883 the lease was raised to 50 cents per year which it has remained since. In 1899 two loads of gravel. A meeting will be held at the Park in Vermont­ ville, Saturday evening, September 23rd for the purpose of discussing the possibility of forming a Youth Center of some kind for the youth of the ar­ ea. The meeting wUl begin at 7:00 p. m. and in case of bad weather, the meeting will be held in the Opera House. A meeting was held August 16th to discuss this project, but because of insufficient publicity, the meeting was poorly attended. Dick Lewellyn has been named the temporary chairman although no committee has been named at this point. Some of the points to be discussed at this meet­ ing will be possibilities of planned programs for the young people, both summer and winter activities, obtaining a building or a meeting place, discuss­ ing swimming facilities.

NUMBER 15 .. , �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Summer is fast flving past us. The mornings are cool (as a matter of fact it has been cool all s u m met) and the kids are getting ready to go back to school. All too soon the golf season wiu be over and there will be no excuse for goofing off in the o­ pen. Each year the summer seems to go faster, perhaps because each year I grow just a bit older and the prospect of snow and ice is not the most pleasant thing for me. The world is now full of the sounds of cicadas, crickets, frogs and other animals that sing at the end of the summer. Perhaps I too should sing. All summer I have been employed by an outside agency. I have been working over in Lansing, driv­ ing back and forth every day of the week. That job is finished now and I'm back in Nashville. The paper ran so well without me though, that I see no real reason to come back on a full time ba­ sis and squirrel things up. So I have taken on some free lance work to keep myself occupied. The papers are all taken up with the fact that the Swedes have decided to drive on the right side of the road. This leaves the British the only large hold-out for the left hand side. They are going to have troubles with the British when they finally come around to driving as other people do ( on the right side) because of the dogged determination of the people to do things in the tra­ ditional way. The Swedes should get through it without too much trouble because they seem to be an ordered people who can change when the change is indicated After all they have led the world in new techniques of engineering. They have been way out front in social changes and this bit about driving on the other side of the road should not re­ ally get them. Things were different in Panama though. There they had to put up with the Latin temperment. The drivers in Panama City back in those days (it was during the war) all drove with a gay abandon. The brakes were used seldom. There seemed to be a felling among the Panamanians that to use the brake was a badge of dishonor. The horn was used in place of the brakes. The driven there seemed to De under the impression that the sound of the horn was a beautiful symphony to be enjoyed most­ ly by the driver of the car. If a pedestrian stopped long enough to enjoy the music of the horn, the next music he might hear would be that of a harp. The type of driving there can be explained best by a little illustration told me by a friend I met in the hospital Panama is a rather mountainous country peopled with driven to whom speed and economy were of the utmost importance. For yean the great prepon­ derance of automobiles in the area were Chevro­ lets. Somehow Chevrolet and Singer Sewing Ma­ chine had gained a foothold to the point that in a village out in the jungle with no roads in and no roads out there would often be an ancient ()perhaps late twenties or very early thirties Chev.) and sev­ eral treadle-operated Singers. The Chev would have a big TAXI on the side of it and would be parked in a prominent place in the center of the village. Many of them didn't even have an engine and most of them hadn't been operated in yean. It was a mark of distinction though, for a village to have a taxi. What the people did with the Singer Sewing Machines I'll never know, but I have seen Indian women in the remote jungle, in Darien coun­ try where there was commerce in human heads, walking down the path with a portable Singer on their heads. But back to the automobiles. The Chev was so popular there that every car-­ Ford, Buick, Cadillac or what have you in the way of a European make- was called a Chiva. This friend of mine was in the hospital because he was riding on a bus from Colon to Panama City, a trip of about 70 miles over mountainous highway. He was in a native Chiva, which was actually a 1937 Ford truck chassis with a bus body on it. The Ford of that year had a devise on it which locked the steering wheel when the ignition was turned off. This is something that few people of today would know. It was also something that the driver of the vehicle (he was used to Chevs.) didn't know either. As an economy move the driver turned the igni­ tion off at the top of a mountain. He figured on sav­ ing gas on the long ride down the slope. He didn't figure on a lockedwheel, though, and it came as a by john boughton source of surprise to the driver and a source of irri­ tation to the passengers to be air-borne at the first turn. My friend said it is a wonderful thrill to be in a Ford, which was referred to as a Chiva and which had the name Saraphina lettered on the side, fifty feet above the tree tops. My friend was the only one who was injured, though three pigs and a few chick­ ens escaped to the jungle. With this type of driving the change from one side of the road to the other was no great shakes to the Chiva-driving Panamanians, they still drove right down the center of the road. What’s your opinion? The following article was sent in by Gene Mater and was written as an editorial in the Nation's Agri­ culture magazine, September 1967 issue. We re print it here with Gene's comment istatlng he thought it was "a good picture of the American philosophy." . _ t>ome years ago, through this same column, w e wrote an open letter to the brewing industry, sug­ gesting that it would be a wonderful public rela­ tions gesture on their part to do something about the litter problem. We pointed out that a reminder from the brewers, printed on each six-pack or even on the bottle o r can would help in cutting down the number of dis­ cards along the highways or in scenic areas. We felt then, and still do, that most people toss cans and bottles and other litter through utter thoughtlessness. Various segments of the brewing industry did not take too kindly to our writings. Their public rela­ tions people took pen in hand and wrote some of the most blistering letters we have ever received. In short, they all contained the same thought, to wit; "Why in the blankety-bla ik don't you mind your own business, Charles?” No one who bothered to write felt an outdoor writer should be concerned with keeping outdoor beauty litter-free. How about that? Well, fortunately, ideas do change, as do public relations people and we are happy to report that some segments of the brewing industry are coming; around in fine shape. In faet, we are going to men­ tion a couple of names because they are obviously concerned with public service motives. Just prior to the July 4th holiday, the Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee ran several ads in major magazines. They showed a lovely lakeside scene anti posed the question: "How would an emp­ ty beer can look here?" Then follows: "Or old soda jx>p bottles? Or watermelon rinds?" Their plea was merely a reminder to the thoughtless American who unthinkingly litters our beauty spots. A couple of years earlier, the Adolph Coors Com­ pany of Denver put on a public relations program that resulted in their redeeming over 12 million al­ uminum beer cansl And, this despite the fact that the cans had a salvage value of only one-half cent apiece. A similar program, aimed at empty beer bottles, resulted in a return of over 75 percent of the tout bottles distributed! Efforts of these two public-minded companies have undoubtedly resulted in the elimation of many millions of bottles and cans from our roadsides. And, when you stop to consider that it costs between 35 and 50 cents apiece for each item of litter picked up by a highway clean-up crew, the tax savings are tremendous. Perhaps there are other segments of the brewing industry who are also taking a new look at this growing problem of litter. It so we would like to give them credit, too. OF COURSE, I believe in fighting poverty. I've been con­ ducting a campaign along that very line all my life. Results are not outstanding, so far. In this country we have some catching up to do, in our treatment of minority groups. But I’D be darned if I can get enthusiastic about using my tax money to get everybody on the Great Society standard of 160 a week, three trips to the dentist each year, and a two-week va­ cation trip! There’s nothing wrong with these goals, but they don't seem as desirable to everybody as th^ do to some of our social planners. TAKE MY FRIEND DALLAS. He doesn't live in an under­ developed area. He is not in an emerging nation. He lives where automobiles are thicker than fleas on an Arab’s dog, and he is a good mechanic. He could be earning two or three times that 960, but he doesn’t. Why? Because he has a natural aversion to time clocks and work schedules. They interfere with things more important, such as fish­ ing, farm auctions and highway watching. Dallas seems to enjoy whatever he's doing at the moment. He can spend hours watching America speed by his porch, on the way to various social and business appointments. He knows I don't approve of the way he runs his life, so there's no point in going into it THEN THERE’S BILL, in a little house at the foot of tire hilL Bill's a slave to drink. Anything with alcohol in it, and tire more the better. Fortunately, he has no family. He has three brothers, and all of them have lectured and scolded and begged, and they've sicked the preacher on Bill They’ve all given up. I know Bill's to be pitied, and I know he is not doing his share in our society. But he’s doing all he wants to do, and all he wiD do. Fm not going to beat myself over the head because he lives at the sub-poverty level! I READ ABOUT a mountain family that lives so far up the valley that there never has been a road, in an area where there are no jobs and no land level enough to grow a farm crop. The father had worked for three years in a big city, but he didn't Hke the bustle and the noise. He had come back home to live "because it's so pretty up here." No doubt it is. If that's his choice, and if this truly is a free country, let’s respect his decision. To tell the truth, there are days when I envy Dallas and Bill and the man on his mountain. And Ill be blamed if I want to give up some of the few dollars I get to keep, to try to make them over in a standard mould!

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, SEPTEMBER 7, 1967 �Women en r- Ig Just returned from a most enjoyable 1, 750 mile, 9-day trip ate Mrs. Suzanne Milett, Garden City, Mrs. Audrey Schulte, Detroit, Miss Maud Shafer, Bronson, and Mrs. Mildred Mater and Mrs. Hilda Baas, Nashville. In Illinois at Moline they saw the currem and historical John Deere products and the Girard Mural at the new Deere, Deere and Company Administration Center. In Rock Island they saw the Arsenal Muse­ ... conuins one — of... -----urn which the(largest military arms collections in the Mississi Valley, Lock and Dam No. 15, historical si on the island and Blackhawk State Park located on the site of the cspitol of the Sauk and Fox Indian nations w he re the rough hewn stone building, Hauberg Museum, con­ tains many Blackhawk items. In Galesburg, they visited the Carl Sandburg Home and in the back yard saw "Remembrance Rock” under which by his request his ashes will be buried. "Remembrance Rock”, a historical novel, was die only novel he wrote. Galesburg is also a railroad center and has the largest railroad yard in the world. It is also famous as the home of many inventions such as .au­ tomatic coupler for trains, com planter, street sweeper, ferris wheel to name a few. At Nauvoo wi with a guide in their car they visited the historic Mormon country. They toured and saw the Joseph Smith Homestead, the Mansion House, the Sunstone ■ which was 1 of 30 sunstones in the Nauvoo Temple, which was destroyed by a tornado when the Icarians were using it for non-religious activities, the mu­ seum, Brigham Young Home, the Windy Lane flour mill, factory where famous Nauvoo Blue Cheese is made, winery, home of famous old Nauvoo wines, quarry where white sandstone for making the tem­ ple was quarried, site of Gov. Romney's great, great grandfather's home and many other interesting Buildings. Now the Mormons are buying many acres in and around Nauvoo and paying fabulous prices for them. They won't say why tiiey want the land. At Cahokia they saw the old Cahokia Courthouse, old­ est courthouse west of the Alleghenies, built shortly after 1737 which served as the seat of justice for the early Louisiana Territory and the Old Church of the Holy Family which was built in 1799 and is the oldest church west of the Alleghenies. They visited Fort de Chartres which was built in 1753 by the French when they left Michigan. It was the last for­ tification in North America to lower the French flag. The original magazine is carefully preserved. All original foundations are preserved and a few build­ ings have been rebuilt. It was capable of housing 400 men. On the Kaskaskia River, Fort Kaskaskia State Park contains the earthworks and foundations of the old fort. The town of Kaskaskia founded in 1703. the first capitol city of Illinois, the seat of government during territorial, days, nothing remains today. In 1778 when George Rogers Clark took KasKask La from the British, he helped to win back the Northwestern States from the British. At Vandalia, they visited the State House and signed the register with a quill pen. Abraham Lincoln served here in the legislature and was largely responsible for mov­ ing the capital to Springfield. They were also hav­ ing a sidewalk sale such as is held in Hastings. In Iowa at Burlington, they enjoyed a trip through Radio Station KBUR and the Northwestern Bell Tele­ phone Co. At Keokuk, named after Chief Keokuk of the Sac and Fox Indians, they visited the Tow­ boat George M. Verity river museum which is berth­ ed in Victory Park, watched boats and barges lock through new Lock 19, the largest on the Mississippi, toured the Keokuk Dam and Power House which, when completed in 1913, was the largest man-made hydro-electric plant in the world. In Missouri at Hannibal they surely enjoyed Mark Twain's boyhood home, museum, Becky Thatcher SEED WHEAT House, Pilaster House, Lighthouse, Memorial Bridge Tom and Huck Statue, Riverview Park with Statue of Mark Twain and a trip through the Mark Twain Cave in which buried treasure was found, Tom and Becky were lost, and Injun Joe died. In St. Louis they toured the Missouri Botanical Garden (also known as Shaw's Garden) with more than 70 acres, one of the most beautiful and unique botanical gar­ dens in the world. In the famous Climatron, the first geodesic-dome greenhouse.ever built specially designed air conditioning and weather controls pro­ duce weather according to the needs of the exhibits. The tropical plants, water fall, jungle, pond and even a fish pool together with the orchids, water lilies, rose garden and giant Amazonian Victoria Lilies were beautifuL In Forest Park we rode on a train through the 83 acres of Zoological Gardens, one of the largest in the world, saw the Jewel Box, a great palace of glass with its fabulous shows of flowers and plants and 6 acres of roses in a formal garden outside, saw the new McDonnel Planetarium and enjoyed a trip to the top of the 630 foot Gate­ way Arch, tallest memorial structure in this coun ­ try which is the dominant feature of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial They enjoyed a nar­ rated tour on the diesel-powered motor vessel the Huck Finn, a replica of 19th century sternwheelers. In Missouri they were able to get some unusual rocks called geodes which are nothing more than a round stone and when split open reveal an interior lined with sparkling quartz crystals. In Indiana they visited historic Vincennes. The George Rogers Clark State Memorial is erected on the Wabash River near the Lincoln Memorial Bridge on the site of Fort Sackville which Clark captured and commemorates the winning of the old North­ west by CoL Clark who was 27 years old and his frontiersmen who numbered about 170 men in the war of the American Revolution. Clark gave all his personal fortune to outfit the group and died a poor man. In the rotunda is an impressive statue of George Rogers Clark and lining the walls are seven beautiful murals of history of the surrounding ter­ ritory. They saw the replica of the first log church in Vincennes. They saw the replica of Elihu Stout's Printing Office, home of the Western Sun" first printed as "The Indiana Gazette" in 1804. Lincoln first mw a printing press here in 1830. They also mw the First Capitol of Indiana Territory which was established in 1800 and contained Indiana, Ill­ inois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. Michigan didn't like this arrangement because it was so far to go to Vincennes to the capitol and so in 1805 Michigan became a territory. They toured "Grouseland", National Historic Landmark, built in 1803-1804 by William Henry Harrison, first Governor of Indiana Territory and 9th President of the United States. In Indianapolis they took an ele­ vator to the top of the Soldiers and Sailors Monu­ ment on Monument Circle. They visited the Indi­ ana World War Memorial Plaza. The main build­ ing "The Shrine" is beautiful and Memorial Hall, on the second level is considered one of the most stately, beautiful shrines in all the world. They mw the homes of James Whitcomb Riley, the be­ loved "Hoosier Poet" and Benjamin Harrison grand­ son of William Henry Harrison and 24rd President of the United States. They enjoyed a lap in a small bus around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 2 1/2 mile track where each Memorial Day the famous " 500" is run. They mw the place in the pit with the name Gordon Johncock and the museum which exhibits the fiat winning race car and many of its successors. The group came through Nashville, Illinois and [; ate and’ shopped. stoi ' All together they had good weather, motels, food (southern fried chicken) and a most enjoyable trip. The Maple Valley Band Boottea have on band a new shipment of Zip Code books. They are avail­ able at Dome Drugs and Modern Beauty Salon in Nashville, and at the Citizens Elevator on S. Main Street.

DETROIT - Michigan’s archers, when they take to the woods this autumn to bring down deer, will be following an Indian tradition hundreds of years old. “With their handmade bows —the favorite weapon they had for bringing down the fleet­ footed creatures — Michigan Indians did a more effective job than their emulators of to­ day,” says Wayne SUte Uni­ versity archivist and historian. Dr. Philip P. Mason. “They had to. They were looking for the food they needed for survival, and they hunted the year around, learn­ ing more about deer and their habits in a few months than modern archers learn in a life­ time.” The Indian bows were made of hickory or ash. for the most part, and their strings were twisted hides or the guts of various animals. The shafts for the arrows were made prin­ cipally from hard wood and fitted with finely chipped flint, bound with gut and resin. "These arrowheads, prized by finders today, can be found anywhere in Michigan, for all Indian tribes used bows and arrows,” says Dr. Mason. "And they used them on deer, bear, moose, elk, buffalo, beaver, rabbits, squirrels, wildfowl and even fish." The Chippewas, or Ojibwas, located mainly in the heavily wooded Upper Peninsula, and SANDERS CANDIES. MAGAZINES, PHOTO SUPPLIES Douse Drug Store OL 3-2681 GJ.

Fargo is one of the few gasolines made in Michigan for Michigan drivers driving in Michigan... and you save money. the Ottawas who lived in Northern Michigan, used short, powerful bows while the Wyandots or Hurons used the long bow, which was influenced by their contact with Indians from New York and the East. Michigan's modern bow hunters, using bows made of fiberglass or of laminated woods, hunt the full gamut of Michigan game, from bears to fish and fowl. Deer are the big target every fall, with a season which in re­ cent years has run from Octo­ ber 1 through November 5. All counties have had the same season except Allegan, where it has run October 1 through December 15. In certain coun­ ties does and fawns have been protected from the arrows. Bears may be taken with bow and arrow, but the season and areas are carefully pre­ scribed. In recent years, the bow-hunting for them has been legal in all parts of the Upper Peninsula except the Kewee­ naw Peninsula, from Septem­ ber 1 through September 15 and October 1 through Novem­ ber 5. In 1965 and 1966 they re­ ceived complete protection in the Lower Peninsula. Indians hunted the bear fear­ lessly, but few modern day Michigan archers molest him. Game men estimate that kills range from only “two or three bears” per year to “less than 25.” Photographs available Because ut the numerous requests regarding pic­ tures, the following points should be made.

MICHIGAN, SEPTEMBER 7, 1967 Pkai* 251 7231 �To discuss sales promotion By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BIG BUSINESS Over a billion dollars was spent by tourists i n Michigan during 1966. Using the "tourism multi­ plier, " which shows that each dollar spent is "re­ spent" three and one-third times before leaving the community or state, the tourist industry war directly responsible for marketing about $3. 5 bil­ lion in goods and services. William T. McGraw, director of the Michigan Tourist Council, estimates that the 1967 season will easily top last year’s figure. The tourist in­ dustry, second only to the state's manufacturing industry, expands by about 10% annually. In five yean the industry has increased more than SO1# from $650 million to the present level. Michigan ranked fifth among the states most visited in 1966. Indications this year, however, seem to assure Michigan's moving closer to the number one spot Tourism affects ev< in one way or another, neats in Michigan are directly involved in serving the needs of tourists. Many Michigan companies engage in the manu­ facture of sporting goods, automobiles, travel trailers, food products and other commodities which result from tourist spending. Property taxes from cottage owners who live out-state bring in public monies with little or no accompanying de­ mand for governmental services. Gasoline and sales taxes provide revenue for Ihighways and schools. In 1966 tourists paid more than $70 mil­ lion in direct state taxes. increases in tourism can be generally attributed to many factors; more leisure time, more spendable income, better transportation facilities, etc. Rapid growth in Michigan's tourist trade can be attributed to a unique method of promotion, maintains the Michigan Tourist Council Michigan links together the state efforts with those of regional local and individual programs to exact the most from its promotional expenditures. The Michigan Tourist Council policy board is ‘ ' the Goveicomposed nor and th regional tourist associations. Entirely state-support­ ed; this organization promotes and advertises tour­ ism generally throughout the state with a budget of $751,43L The four regional associations, Upper Michigan, West Michigan, East Michigan and Southeastern Michigan, operate on a match-money basis from state and local funds. Each association assesses dues and promotes its individual areas to tourists. State funds can be used only for promotional purposes, not for administrative costs. The 1966-67 budget called for $375, 000 from in­ dividual business firms and $176,000 from the state Additionally, local businesses and chambers of commerce work locally to promote tourist business. About $3 million will oe spent in 1967 for this pur­ parpose. Neither the state nor regional associations act as "policing agencies. ’ Their sole function is to pro mote tourism. Complaints are referred directly to the establishment involved. No threat of expulsion from the association or punitive measures can be used, although letters accompany the complaint and point out the need for cooperation. There are com­ paratively few complaints, says the Council Once a seasonal business, the tourist industry has grown into year 'round activity. Skiing brought 270, 000 persons to Michigan's ski slopes last* w in­ ter in addition to several hundred thousand ice fish­ ermen, snowmobile enthusiasts, sightseers, etc. Skiers alone spent more than $28 million, an in­ crease of 30% over the 1965-66 season. In the face of stiffer competition from other states, the tourist council has requested increased funds for the 1967-68 fiscal year. A goal of 1. 5 billion recreation dollars by 1972 can be reached, notes the Council, by " advertising and publicizing Michigan's vacation advantages with imagination and efficiency. " Increased funds are also requested for regional budgets and the transfer of highway information lodges from the highway department to the tour 1st council has been asked. Other suggestions include: creation of a Michigan State Department of Travel, anti-litter messages be put on all one-way beverage containers, an ex­ WE ALIGN WHE&S HERE'S WHAT WE DO!

Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has Autumn poured From out her lavish horn! �hat writer who takes on the task of chance for the lighter gun man to pick up an alibi — the bird flew through the pat­ shotguns is a fool. He might better write about wives; there being as tern.) much variation and personal preference in At 30 yards, a full choke gun should give women as there is in shotguns; and less in­ you a pattern about 26 inches in diameter; clination on the part of most shooters to a modified choke, one of 32 inches; and an defend the merits of their respective wives improved cylinder one of 38 inches. than there is to speak up in defense of a favorite shotgun. It is important that a shooter knows how his shotgun patterns at various ranges. However, it is that time of year when You can learn this most easily by measur­ shotgun talk echoes through cornfields, ing off ranges and shooting various loads tagalder thickets, country taverns and into wrapping paper tacked onto a wooden chilly duck blinds. It is, therefore, under­ standable that a writer run-off-at-the-type- ' frame. ■ _ -w T discussing writer with a few shotgun thoughts and a brief look at some of the basics of the scattergun. You are cordially invited to peruse for ammunition to load your next shotgun argument, or to explain away an unbeliev­ able “miss” of a fat greenhead or a cack­ ling cock pheasant. We shall start first with “gauge”—that term used to denote the size of a shotgun’s bore. “Gauge" originated in the early days of shotgunning. It means the number of balls in a pound of lead, one of which will pass through the gun barrel. In the 12 gauge, for example, if a pound of lead was divided into 12 equal balls, one of these balls would just pass through the bore. A 20 gauge gun would accept a lead ball running 20 to the pound. An exception is the .410 gauge shotgun in which the .410 designates the actual size of the bore—410/1,000 inch. By compari­ son, a 12 gauge bore is .775 of an inch. The gauge of your shotgun determines the density of your pellet pattern; the size of the pattern is determined by the “choke” of the gun. Choke is, as the term desig­ nates, a constriction of the end inch or two of the barrel This constriction of the muzcloser together in flight Chafca designation is generally: full, modified and improved, with full choke As a general guide, a full choke gun shooting 280 pellets of No. 6 shot, should place about 196 of these pellets inside a 30inch killing circle at 40 yards, and 108 pel­ lets inside the same size circle at 55 yards. The choice of shot size is probably re­ sponsible for more scatter gunning debates than any other factor. There will be thou­ sands of such debates this fall and it might be said that never have so many said so much to so many and convinced so few. It is an excellent idea to get out to the trap or skeet range well in advance of the hunting seasons to limber up creaky swing­ ing muscles. With a few rounds of target busting under your belt, you will feel more at home with your shotgun when the first bird explodes out of cover or comes whis­ tling over on the crest of a stiff north wind. And “whistle” they do. A canvasback flies at from 90 to 150 feet per second. It’s a wonder we ever hit one of them. Other foot-per-second speeds are: mallard—50­ 90, teal — 80-100, ruffed grouse — 85-75, mourning dove — 50-120, Canada goose — 70-100, pheasant—49-90, crow—30-60. Some of us are going to be so intimidated by these speed facts that we will come away with nothing more than a sore shoul­ der. But here too, there is room for debate and some statistics to flavor it with. For example, a 12 gauge magnum shooting a three-inch shell in an 8 pound, 12 ounce three inch shell locks to the tune of 28 foot n you will. Not as a means of en­ tering into the debate, but rather to urge the participants on to great­ er heights, the following information is offered as it comes from the Rem­ ington people: Ducks—Use No. 4 shot for long range and pass shooting. For normal range, No. 5 or No. C shot. Some hunters use 7% for closer range shooting over decoys. Geese—Goose hunters need wallop to fold up their birds so they use the big loads with large shot. Many hunters pre­ fer No. 4 over BB and 2’s for a denser pattern. Pheasant — For corn­ field shooting where long shots are usual, better use No. 5. On a normal rise over dogs and for all around use, No. 6 is the favorite. Bigger shot may be dangerous when hunting in a group. Grouse or partridge— On the smaller birds such as ruffed grouse or Hun­ garian partridge use the smaller 7^ or 8 shot. The big western grouse will call for No. S or 6 shot. with large shot. Many hunters prefer No. 4 over BB and 2’s for a denser pattern. Quail—For early sea­ son shooting on bob­ whites when feathers are light some hunters use No. 9 shot. Later they switch to No. 7^ or No. 8. Doves and pigeons— You can do a good job on mourning doves at nor­ mal ranges with No. 7*& and 8. Longer ranges call for heavier loads. W oodeock— Your choice of shot sue will de­ pend on ranges at which your game is shot. For fast shooting in the aider thickets No. 8 shat is a good choice. Rabbits—For cotton­ tail pfsbbits at normal range, the 5’s and B’s are suitable, but for larger game such as jack rabbits and snowshoe rabbits use heavier loads such as No. 4. Squirrel — Most hunt­ ers use the No. S or No. 6 shot and prefer the heamer leads in the tail timber. Fox—It’s a toss-up be­ tween BB'e and No. 2 shot. But, remember— the smaller the shot the denser the pattern. YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT... �The Wabasha (Minn.) County Herald advises ' hat.

As the legend goes, this royal Briton had his meat brought to him between two slices of bread so that he wouldn’t have to leave the gambling tables at meal time. For some of these 1967 mod­ el sandwiches, we’ll wager, he’d gladly interrupt his game. Add some of these extra sur­ prises to a Sandwich Lunch.

The old Detroit Tigers had the world by the tail, and could have made themselves heras.but they dropped the balL Just when they had things going their way they allowed those big city fellers from Chicago stomp them twice in a row. Now they have to pick themselves up and go back at it again. Time is running out though. On the other hand, our governor seemed to have things going his way when ne made a statement that got the entire country up in the air. A few days ago he was being touted as the front runner for the GOP nomination. Now, after just one statement, the big papers are dropping Romney like a hot potato and again have gone to shouting for other, lesser lights, to show the way to the Republican party. Much of this seems to have come after the good Governor made, a statement that he had been brain­ washed while tie was investigating the war. What is so bad with a washed brain? I know a fel­ low who is often referred to as a "dirty minded old man". That is a lot worse than having it said that you were brainwashed. I must admit the Governor did make a little mis­ take. He said something he really didn't mean and now he has to spend days of his time trying to ex­ plain what he really did mean. No matter what he says now, he has lost some ground and it will take a lot of talking to gain it back. For some reason everyone expects a politician to always say the right thing at the right time. The real old pros at the game seem to do just this. I f one thinks about it a bit though, he must come up with the conclusion that the real old pros seldom say anything at alL They talk a lot. They use up a lot of language but they seem to say darn little in the process. If a politician can talk for a half hour without saying anything while he uses a lot of flowery lan­ guage be seems to gain points. Everyone sits back and remarks on what a beautiful speech it was. Romney is going to hive to learn to talk more and say less if he expects to stay in it with the pros. The American public does not seem able to cope with a politician who changes his mind. There is really no reason that Romney had to say he was brainwashed. All great men change their minds. He could have said simply, "I have changed my mind," He had learned by this time though, that in poli­ tics one can not just change his mind. A politician must get with it and stick to his guns even if he is wrong. To admit that he has changed his mind is to admit that he must have been wrong in the first place. It is a funny game. VARSITY FOOTBALL by john boughton in the legs of the person wearing (if that is the cor­ rect word for what one does with a miniskin) the costume. I have to agree with this woman that it might cause some rheumatic pains but I think they would come in the badly craned necks of the observers of the dress rather than settling on the wearer of them. I myself have experienced sharp pains in the neck after walking down the street in Chicago watching the minis swish by. A friend of mine tells me that he used to see many strange objects in the sky. He was an ama­ teur flying saucer looker. He spent hours with his head tipped back watching for little visitors from outer space. This friend tells me that he never real­ ly saw a saucer but he did observe some unusual . birds, some strange bits of debris being blown a bout and some mighty pretty cloud formations. Ol’ friend tails me though, that since the advent of the mini he has not seen the sky. He says you couldn't prove by him that the trees even have leaves any­ more. He is a devoted miniskirt watcher. Anyway, this woman says that the economy o f the country could be blown sky high by the mini­ skirt. I can't help but agree with her there. She has a point. It is her contention that men going to work and seeing a bunch of sweet young things in minis walk­ ing down the street get so shook up that they can't forget the minis ana remember what they were sup­ posed to be doing in the way of work. Another way they wreck the economy according to this gal, is that the textile industry will suffer because they will sell so little for each skirt. She has a point there. There seems to be a law of eco­ nomics that takes care of this in a free economy though. Have you ever priced a bikini? Never have so many paid so much for so little. What ever this dame says, it will not change things one bit. Women's fashion designers and women themselves take a delight in outrageous dress. If they thought for a moment they could up­ set people by wearing mother hubbards they would, make that the next big craze. Some wise man once said that women don't dress to please men. They dress to upset other women.

Nashville Woman’s Literary Cl plans for interesting year The fall season means many tilings to many peo­ ple--and quite likely no two people would respond in the same way to what fall means to them. It means children back to school, football games, crisp apples, and also the resuming of fall activi­ ties for the various clubs. The Nashville Woman's Literary Club will begin its fall program-, in a rather special way this year. A dinner meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sep­ tember 20th at the Lakewood Inn in Battle Creek. The program committee has worked out a most in­ teresting schedule of programs for the entire year and their plans for a "night out” jsa good way to start. Those who may wish to attend this very first meeting of the club should phone reservations by Monday morning, September 18th to Mrs. Forrest Rinehart or Mb. Carroll Wolff. Mrs. Glennard Showalter, president of the Club, made particular mention of the fact that new memben are desired and anyone who wishes to obtain Kalamo Is Everybody’s It’s the job of every family that spreads a picnic on a roadside table. . It’s the job of every boatman who cruises the lakes and waterways. Every driver, every walker, every flier. That s why our Association throws its whole­ hearted support each year into the Keep America Hniutiful campaign. Lowly country we have here. Let's keep it that way.

Boyd Olsen, acting chairman for the month, presided. The regular business was transacted, with Mb. Howard Mix substituting for the regular secre­ tary, Mb. E.C. Kraft. Mb. William Meyers who is acting treasurer for the regular treasurer, Mrs. Dorr Webb, reported the circle in good financial condition. Mrs. William O. Dean had the devotionals. She said, "Men and women transformed by the love of Jesus Christ, communicate His presence to othen. That is why we need the church, where we encounter those who have encountered Him--and by their lives, the living Christ encounters us. “ Her theme was on the "Emmaus Way" experience of the Disciples who encountered Christ.

Mrs. Mix will be the acting chairman for the month of October. It was decioed to hold an auction that month. The business meeting closed with a prayer by Mb. Ray Thompson.

SEPTEMBER 14. 19fH 5 �NEWS^A/f Lions open season Sept. 15 at game with Lakewood The Maple Valley Lions football team will open the season with a home game against LakewoocL on September 15. Coach Bill Gibbs says that he has high hopes that the big and experienced line will do much to make Maple Valley a threat this year. Ten letterwinners are returning to the team and ten have been lost to the Lions. Gibbs lists the offense as Steve Stine, Bernie Hickey, Tom Simon, Wayne Gould, Philip Heinze Gordon Reid, Orvin Moore, Bruce McMillen, Ron Keesler, Chuck Corbin, Dale Fisher, Steve Tefft, Walt Shaw, Dave Dipert, Bob Misener, Ron Car­ penter and Larry Swan. The defense will be made up of Bernie Hickey, Bruce McMillen. Philip Heinze, Wayne Gould, Ron Keesler, Linden Mater, Dale Fidler. Steve Tefft, Steve Stine, Wait Snaw and Dave Dipen. Newcomers to the squad are Ron Carpenter, Rod Laity, Mike Root, Floyd Shaffer, Eddie Purchis.Bob Misener, Nolan Snow and Raymond Garvey. The assistant coaches are Ralph Kirk, Larry Lenz, Ron Rosin and Leroy Wion. Returning to the squad at quarterback will be Steve Stine, who Coach Gibbs says has great poten­ tial of developing into a fine runner and passer. Sen­ ior Tom Simon will back up Stine at Q B and will no doubt also fill one of the other backfield posi­ tions. Orvin Moore and Gordon Reid, both juniors will be depended upon to do much of the ball car­ rying. Gibes says both boys show speed and an a­ bility to follow blockers. Wayne Gould, a senior has been working in the backfield. Gould, a former lineman is a good blocking back. Gibbs said that Philip Heinze and Co-Capt. Bernie Hickey will head up the defen­ sive backfield. Heinze will also play offensive end. Professional Business DIRECTORY MAPLE VALLEY Business Service Bookkeeping & Tax Service DALE H.

Board names Gibbs new athletic director Two rural school buildings, formerly the Mayo in Barry county and the North Kalamo in Eaton county, will be sold at public auction. This was the decision of the Maple Valley board of educa tion, meeting in regular session Monday evening in the office of Supt. Carroll Wolff. No date was set, pending arrangements with an auctioneer.Some used school equipment, accummulated over the yean will probably be offered at the same time. William Gibbs, counsellor and coach, and a member of the teaching staff for the past three yean, has been named athletic director. He. will continue to handle vanity football and junior-var­ sity basketball this year. A girl's physical education teacher, Miss Jac­ queline Peek of Battle Creek, a fifth grade teach­ er, Mn. Viola Johnson, and a special education teacher, Mn. Mary Evenole, have been hired. Supt. Wolff is still seeking a kindergarten teacher. With nearly 150 kindergarteners enrolled, there are presently two teachen handling the children in half-day sessions. The Maplewood classes number approximately 60, while the Fuller street enroll­ ment numbers about 91. So far a few mothen have given some assistance at Fuller street. Other enrollment figures as of Thursday, Sept. 7, read; Fint grade, 140; second, 140; thiro, 133; fourth, 128; fifth, 132; sixth, 145; seventh, 128; eighth, 147; ninth. 129; tenth, 137; 11th, 102; 12th,' 87, and special education. 41. Last year's enrollment totaled 1, 672. The Eaton County Association of school board members will bold an organizational meeting Mon­ day evening, Sept. 18, at 8 p. m. in the Char­ lotte junior high school John Viele, as Maple Val­ ley's representative, and Supt. Carroll Wolff, will attend. Considerable time was devoted to various poli­ cies and the position of the school board on various items. For the past several years a small accident insurance policy has been offered all students a t the beginning of the year. The advisability of whether or not the school should be engaged in this type of thing was discussed at some length. The school takes no further part, except to see that the children are presented with a brochure. The board did agree, however, to go along one more year in offering a policy. Because of some recent trends on the part of teach­ ers to place orders for supplies, particularly awards in some organizations, the board again stressed the importance of having all teaching personnel clear through proper channels before making any such purchases. The board approved the annual financial report for the state department. The school has purchased a four-wheel drive, 3/4 ton truck with snowplow. Approval was given for the high school band to par­ ticipate in festivities at Western Michigan Univer­ sity in Kalamazoo Saturday, September 16. M its Barbara Musser was hired as a library assistant at Vermontville. The board okayed putting a new roof on the bus garage. The cost will be >672 and the work is to be done as soon as possible. The August state aid has been received in the a­ mount of >97, 790. 00. Other business was routine. Bills in the amount of >1, 963. 28 were allowed. Although there are additional staff members this year, it has been necessary to assign some teachen a sixth period. Miss Yvonne Daniels will have a . sixth period junior-high science clast; Mrs. Hilda Baas will assist with noon hour supervision, and Austin Zimmerman will take her mathematics class. Melvin Kivela and Elmer Jarvic will split a sixth class, with Kivela teaching the fiat semester in wood shop, and Jarvie handling a class in metal shop instruction the second semester. Bill Zellen was a Friday night and Saturday guest of Terry Sowles. Mr. and Mn. Clarence Justus and family of Charles City, Iowa, spent Labor Day weekend in Michigan .

SEPTEMBER 21, 1967 It is that time of year again--. The Maple Valley football team runs under the goalposts and on to the field for the first game of the season to the tune of the fight song by the band. The Lions went in to the game the underdogs but came out victorious 6-0. Maple Valley plays Middleville, there, next Friday. --News Photo NUMBER 17 �BACKSTREET BAROMETER by many love*. This is the time of year when one wonders whether to go out and knock off a game of «4f or perhaps get in a bit of water skiing before t cold weather sets in. The watcher* too, get a bit confused. There is uestion of whether to watch the Tigers on the e or to see what the Lions are doing. The a n ncers at the first football game of the season are ays announcing the results of the last baseball se of the season. I guess all of life is full of conflict though. Some people don't know whether to drive the Rolles or the Cad. Some folks have to make a decision about whether to have Lobster Newburg or prime steak for dinner. Some worry about whether to take a holiday at the sea shore or in the mountains. The only decision I have to make is whether to cheer for the Tigers or the Lions and I won't even have to worry about that after the next few weeks. Speaking of Lions, our Maple Valley boys came through in style Friday night. They looked real good taking the game from Lakewood. Now is they Just keep it up all season. Back in my puppy days the Hurst American Week­ ly used to keep me in a stew with their articles a­ bout what could happen to the world. One week they would have a story about what will happen in a few billion years when the sun bums itself out and life on our earth is snuffed out. The next week they would run a thing telling us a­ bout the results if another planet got off course and ran smack dab into the earth. Bam - that's what would happen and we wouldn't know what hit us. They had a thing they ran once, which made a real impression on me, about what would happen if the sun suddenly errupted in a giant blast and scorched the earth. Their conclusion was that it would be plenty hot, believe you me. These were remote possibilities, and even I knew that at the time I was reading the articles. Now they have come up with things that could ; really be true. They present us with the population explosion which could expand itself to the point where no one on the earth would have more room than just to stand up. Today, I suppose, it is passi­ ble that someone could drop a couple of big bombs .that could turn the entire earth to a cinder. Some say the continued use of insecticides could throw nature so far out of balance that we would be in for trouble. It must be my extreme old age, but these possi­ bilities no longer scare the socks off me. a new worry. Some man says that if we continue to pollute the atmosphere the way we ate now doing we ate going to have another ice age. This does scare me. I. have no desire to go through many more summers like this past one where the temperature never got up to a respectable level. Maybe we are alreaay starting into the new ice age caused by this air pol­ lution. want Al Smith, knowing bow I love fish, invited m e over to sample his coho salmon the ocher night. ~** ask ~ * me_bow *~~~ r it When I Uli people this they all tastes.

Another of our illustrious townspeople has done it again. Sam Sessions won the 100 lap U. S. Auto Club sprint car race at Winchester Indiana, Sunday. Had it not been for a bit of bad luck two yean in a row our Sam would have been in the big race at Indy. Year before last Sam had car trouble and a­ gain this year his car was not ready to go out on the track. Sam is a fine driver with a really outstanding rec­ ord. It has been bad luck that has kept him oft the track at Indy so far. Once he qualifies and gets in­ to the race Sam will give the other boys something to think about. So congratulations to Sam.

Vermontville Lions Club to sponsor Flu Clinic The Vermontville Lions Club will again sponsor a "flu" clinic on September 27, starting at 7:30 p. m. in the All-purpose room of the Maplewood SchooL Doctor and nurses will be on band to give the immunization shots. School children should be accompanied by their parents or guardians. If this is not possible, the child should bring a written authorization from the parent. This program, coming well before the "flu"seas­ on, has been an effective means of preventing the "flu" or rendering the attack less severe. This is a public service project of die Lions Club, and they are anxious to nave everybody take advantage of the services of the clinic. on your K(i#w regg|ati.o regard to well-drilling If you're having a water well installed on your Before you agree to have someone drill your well make sure the contractor is registered with the state health department. The law require* that a decal bearing a cunent year date and the firm's registra­ tion number appear on the company 's vehicles. The registration provision alao applies to water well pump installers, although in most cases the tame firm may drill the well and install the pump. Health department engineers advise that you make sure that the well casing terminate* at least 12 in­ ches above ground level. This will protect the well against any possible source of contamination, such as flooding, and also make it easy to locate it if there is any trouble. ' Well pits are no longer permitted under the new ' approval is first obtained in writing from local healthi officers. Only in special rare instance* will Mich apjiproval be granted. The problem with the use of plits, according to public health officials, ' : all kinds of debris and are is that they accumulate suscej ceptible to *“ flooding. A flooded pit is a serious heal ilth hazard and in addition causes economic los*es due to burned-out motors. Sure law also requires that a well must be located at least 50 feet from any source of contamination, such as a septic tank, subsurface disposal field, dry well, outhouse or bam yards. The well driller must provide you with a copy of the water well record showing the complete history of the well and pump installations. The driller must also file copies of the record with the local health department and the Michigan Geological Survey. If you feel that your well has been improperly in­ stalled. first contact the chiller who did the job. However, if there is still a problem, you should call the local health department. The department will require the driller to correct any work done not i n accordance with state law. NEWS^ Locals "Mnt it ekSetaixt Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

It's a smooth, uncluttered look with roof lines compatible with-body lines, grilles and bumpers that blend grace­ fully into long, rounded fenders. Clean, flowing, beautiful in their simplicity, these '68 Chevrolets are rich and ad­ vanced in styling beyond any you've ever seen. A MORE SILENT RIDE And for 1968, we’ve gone to every length to give you more peace and quiet inside. The most sophisticated computers have been used to strategi­ cally place body mounts and success­ fully isolate noise and vibration. Shock absorbers have been improved. The wheel stance on many models is wider for greater smoothness. Ex­ haust systems have been redesigned to make them, whisper-quiet. Even the clocks tick more softly. A sound car is a silent car. The '68 Chevrolets are the most silent, highest quality cars we've ever built. BETTER PERFORMANCE There are new engines, a bigger standard Six and V8. There’s a new 250-hp V8 you can order that runs on regular fuel. Many new engine com­ ponents increase dependability and keep your new Chevrolet running stronger. There's a new rear axle ratio you can add for greater econ­ omy. On most engines equipped with automatic transmissions, there’s a special heater for the carburetor which gives you more efficient per­ formance in cold weather. And with every engine, you get the new GM exhaust emission control. UNIQUE ASTRO VENTILATION There’s a whole new idea in ventila­ tion, called Astro Ventilation, for Camaro, Cprvette and the elegant Ca­ price Coupe. It's also available on many other models. By opening two new vent-ports on the instrument panel, you bring in outside air that can be directed where you want it. This way, you can leave your windows rolled up and add still more to your peace and quiet. PROVED SAFETY FEATURES You get the proved GM-developed energy absorbing steering column, folding front seat back latches, dual master cylinder brake system with warning light, plus many more new features. Among them: energy absorb­ ing front seat backs, and safety arm­ rests that shield the door handles. MUCH MORE THAT’S NEW There are new roof lines, some formal and graceful, others sporty and quick. There are new instrument panels, richly designed and all controls within easy reach. There are new interiors, new vinyls, new fabrics, new colors. There are models with Hide-A-Way windshield wipers and headlights that disappear behind grilles. There are new side marker lamps, new recessed taillights. There’s even a new ignition alarm buzzer that reminds you not to walk away and leave your keys in the car. These are the newest, the most differ­ ent, the most dramatically changed Chevrolets ever. And they’re at your Chevrolet dealer’s now. You'll thor­ oughly enjoy slipping behind the wheel, experiencing the smooth new handling and library-quiet ride and, more than anything, seeing and feel­ ing the even greater quality built into every new Chevrolet for 1968. Be smart! Be sure! Buy now at your Chevrolet dealer’s.

Next District Republican meeting Nov ember 14 "The last session of the legislature passed less legislation than any legislature within the last ten years", stated Representative William Weber of Kalamazoo to Third Congressional District Repub­ lican Tuesday evening at the Nordia Restaurant in Battle Creek.

The subject of the meeting will be Republican Youth Activities. Postmaster urges the local use of Z ip Codes Nashville residents will have an opportunity to easily put ZIP into their mail in late September, Postmaster Wilma F. DeCamp reported today. • During the last half of September, the postoffice will deliver to every householder a kit of eight post­ al cards which can oe mailed back to the postoffice with addresses needing ZIP Codes. Each completed card will be sent to the postoffice which services the "zipless" address and the proper code will be added before the form is returned to the sender. No postage will be needed on these cards. Eacn of the eight postal cards in the kit will con­ tain a message encouraging the general use of ZIP Code. There will be a ninth card of instructions. All will be folded together like a closed accordian. There will be perforations between each form. In addition, another separate card will be delivered, along with the kit which is a reminder of the local ZIP Code. Last year approximately 2800 addresses were ZIP Coded by the Nashville Postoffice as part of a simi­ lar program using only one (or two) cards with spaces for as many as 13 addresses, Postmaster DeCamp said. Nationally, about eight addresses per card were returned during the 1966 project. The unit cost of entering the code onto each card will be less than the system used in 1966 because no look-up will be necessary. Every card in the final postoffice will need the same code, so an inexper­ ienced clerk will be able to simply stamp it on the card and send the form on its return journey. On an average day, between 175 and 250 million pieces of mail enter the postal system. It is not ex­ pected that more than 10 million of the ZIP-A-LIST cards will be in the system at any one time during the peak periods of mailing. Since they will be handled essentially as ordinary postal cards, there will be no burden or dislocation of service. "The ultimate result willbe an improvement in service, " Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien has said about the project. "ZIP Code is the base uppa-which the modem postal service is being bdilt. But, it won't work and the modernization and efficiencies ZIP Code will bring cannot go in­ to effect, until there is more widespread usage of the five-number code. "The ZIP-A-LIST project is the most dramatic aspect of our continuing campaign to make ZIP Codes readily available to the public." Last year, approximately 17 per cent of the na­ tion's householders returned 96 million addresses for coding. The Postmaster General reported that many postmasters had informed the Department that the ZIP-A-LIST project was an important as­ pect in making Christmas mailers aware of the im­ portance of using the codes on their holiday mail and as an off-shoot, encouraged early mailing of their gifts and cards. This resulted in the most suc­ cessful holiday season in recent postal history. Extra kits will be available at the post office.

THL MAPLF VALLFY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MKjhG.v,, Oi'IIVfHH ":00 ':0<- �Baseball team wins state championship season I I -* The Ma came on strong to c first game of the sea. The Lions went into the game a definite under­ do and came out victorious. The Lion's defense held the strong Lakewood team to five first downs. On the offensive the Lions were able to rack up four first downs against their opponants. The 6-0 final score might have come as a s u r prise to some, but the members of the team had decided far in advance of the game that they would either come out the winner or at least put up a good fight. The thrill of the game came with a long pass from Steve Stine to split end Dave Dipen. Dipen lunged for the ball on the ten yard line and fell for­ ward to the 2-yard line with the baU in his hands. Stine then plunged through the line on the next play to rack up the only score of rhe entire evening. Tom Simon showed himself proud with some runs and with a couple of good punts. For the first game of the season the Lions worked remarkably weft. Because they lack somewhat the depth that the coaches would nave liked, their sec­ ond half stand was rather remarkable. After their good showing in the first half, the talk in the stands during the half-time ceremonies indicated that some people expected that the Lions had burn­ ed themselves out. Despite some losses due to in­ juries during the game, the Maple Valley boys were able to hold off efforts to generate a drive on the part of Lakewood and at the same time to develop a bit of a drive themselves. Coach Bill Gibbs said he was especially pleased with the good defensive game the Maple Valley team put up. Gibbs pointed out that the game was almost identical to last year’s contest with Lake­ wood, which ended with the same score. In last year's game the touch-down was set up by a long pass similar to the one of this year. Both teams can be congratulated on a good clean game of bait There wereiemarkably few penalti^s in the game (Maple Valley had only one) and there was never a display of anything but the finest sportmanship. The officials had very little to do during the evening. Coach Gibbs said he is pleased that his boys finished so strong and that he hopes they can polish their offense tor the game wtth Middleville Friday.

SEPTEMBER 11, 19W7 �School Calendar hy G0RD8I CHARLES True, on a perfectly calm day, a snipe will fly fast but can be expected to hold on a normally straight course. Add a stiff wind to the scene, though, and all of your calculations immediately go wrong. Hitting a snipe with a load of No. 8 shot when he goes twisting away on the wind is a feat for the expert--or lucky—scatter gunner. Nobody—leastof all the snipe--can calculate where his next wing­ beat will carry him on a windy day. The shotgunner who can collect a daily limit of eight snipe at the expenditure of not more than one box of shells, under these windy conditions, cer­ tainly deserves a tip of anybody's hunting cap! Jacksnipe are migratory by nature and come un­ der federal regulations. To hunt them, it is neces­ sary to have a small game hunting license. No mi­ gratory waterfowl license or "duck stamp" is nec­ essary for this game species, although, obviously, if hunting with a teal permit in the special season, you better have a duck stamp. If you fancy yourself as a fancy wing-shot, why not give snipe a try? The results might just aston­ ish you! Ever go on a snipe hunt? No, we don't mean the kind of snipe that pranksters like to use in tricking novices into hunting with a bag on a dark night. What we do mean is Wilson's snipe of jacksnipe, as they are more commonly called. This year Michigan will have two snipe seasons. , Six life members will be honored The Nashville Literary Club will meet on Wed­ nesday, September 27 at 1:30 pm at the home of Mrs. Gordon French. At this time tribute will be paid to the six life members of the club. Ma. Mary Holman will also address the group and will tell of her experiences along with her interest in art. Members are urged to attend and guests are al­ so invited to attend. Postpone PTA meeting Please notice that the Maplewood PTA meet­ ing planned for October 5 has been postponed un­ til October 12 because of Teacher's Institute. Local Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Jesse Garlinger at­ tended the wedding of their granddaughter, Barbara Ann Miller in the Methodist church in Midland. Barbara and her husband have returned to college at Northern Michigan Uruvenity. with the first to be an earjy, experimental model staged during the Sept. 15-23 special teal season. Thu particular hunt will be for teal permit holders only and in eight special areas of the state. If you don't nave one of the 8,200 teal permits, you can't go snipe hunting till the regular duck seas­ on opens October 9. At that time, though, you can hunt them all over the state and, if you are lucky, you can shoot eight every day you hunt Wilson's snipe are members of the shorebird fam­ ily and may be found most frequently in pasture land with puddles of standing water or along the muddy edges of marshes. Equipped with stilt-like legs that enable it to wade in shallow water, the snipe has an excep­ tionally long, slender bill w ith which it p r o b e s in the mud for food particles. These trademarks, along with its rather somber brown color and a startled "scaip, scaip" call when flying, makes its identifi­ cation rather easy. To look at a group of snipe wading and probing for food, it might look like a simple project to hunt them. You might even think it would be too easy to be any fun. Don't kid yourself! Most of us, at one time or another, have tried to take the family clock apart to see if we could fix it. Few of us. however, ever succeeded in getting the blamed thing back together again and in good Usually we ended up »with some extra working order. Usually wheels or screws and' a timepiece _' ‘that was useless. " We had completely upset the balance of the instru­ ment. This same thing happens when man interferes with the dlock-like precision that dicutes the bal­ ance of nature. Too many times man has been quick to condemn and exterminate some of the so-called predator species without considering the full con­ sequences. Take the fox, for example. A farmer has a thriv­ ing orchard of young fruit trees. Into this pretty pic­ ture comes a fairly heavy mouse population which, in turn, attracts Br'er Fox. Figuring that the fox is just a nuisance, the farm­ er takes steps to kill him off. With this natural en­ emy removed, the mice have a field day and soon heavy damage to fruit trees occurs. Under cover of snow, tree trunks are girdled or roots are damaged so badly the tree dies. Had the farmer allowed the fox to remain, his mouse-damaged trees would have been harmed lit­ tle or not at all. Orchardists are coming to learn this the hard way and many now welcome a few foxes on their lands as natural mouse traps. Each animal plays an important part on the land and when one species is eliminated the balance is upset and the wheelof nature faiW to turn properly. In the past, man has attempted to repair the spoke in the wheel he destroyed by restocking h i s lands with game and birds. But this has hot always been successful. If there is not enough cover ana food for birds they will, in time, leave or die. If too many animals are in a given area, disease or some other means will remove the surplus down to the carrying capacity of the land. Most ground-nesting birds, including ruffed grouse and pheasants, have a horde of predators working against them. From the time eggs are laid to the time they hatch, skunks, crows, raccoons, foxes, turtles, hawks, ants, dogs and cats are all working against them. However, given adequate cover and food they survive and reproduce naturally. With poor food and cover they can fall easy vic­ ' tim to predawn as well as to aaveae weather. Still man too often decides that only one of the preda­ tory species is doing all the damage and tries to eradicate the species. ■ When you see a hawk or owl or fox, try to re member that he is there as part of nature's balance wheeL Mau himself is a predator are often takes some of the surplus animals. But, in his ignorance of the ways of the wild he can kill off too many of the wrong ones. Let’s be sure that we aren't the ones to lose that little thingamajig that makes the great wheel of nature turn. .

The coho being shown to Conservation Director Ralph A. MacMullan (right) by Fish Chief Vayne H. Tody measures about 27 inches and weighs a whopping 9 pounds, 12 ounces. It weighed only about an ounce and was 5-6 inches long when planted by die Department a year ago last spring. Tody says the coho represents ”50-100 pounds of alewives,” explaining that it ate that much of the nuisance fish to attain its spectacular growth. The big salmon was landed in gill nets from a Department survey boat operating for sample catches about 3-4 miles northwest of Manistee in Lake Michigan. In two lifts of gill nets made recently •by Department fisheries men in that area, sample catches also included an 8 pound, 1 ounce coho and a 4 pound, 4 ounce coho released in die spring of 1966. Also netted in 60-70 feet of water were 57 coho that were planted last spring. They averaged 10-14 inches and weighed about three-quarters of a pound.. Other catches in those two lifts included 15 chinook salmon planted last spring which averaged 8% inches and 4-5 ounces, and 21 brown trout, the largest of which weighed 11% pounds. Rounding out the sample take were 26 lake trout averaging 10-15 inches and a 5 pound, 3 ounce steelhead. —Mich.

ABORTION BATTLE Efforts to legalize abortion under some circum­ stances have begun slowly in Michigan and without much excitement. A bill was introduced by Sen. John E McCauley, D-Wyandotte, in the last ses­ sion to permit termination of pregnancy when deem­ ed necessary for the physical or mental health o f the mother; in cases of rape or incest; of where there is apparent danger of serious defect, either physically or mentally, in the child. It is still under legisla­ tive consideration. There was virtually no reaction to the bill in the last legislative, session. Sen. Robert L. Richardson, R-Saginaw, expressed surprise at this time. Since there was little interest, there was no formal com­ mittee consideration. Public hearings, scheduled last month, produced some reserved reactions which nonetheless showed strong conviction. In general, it can be said that the Catholic, Lutheran and Jewish religious groups oppose any form of legality for abortion, while most Protestant churches favor this particular bilL The Michigan Council of Churches supports the idea. Latest to endorse abortion is the State Bar of Mich­ igan. The attorney organization feels thatt present rationshy un­ laws have only encouraged such operr ’i~” they are a qualified people and to a “int 1-----where c major cause of maternal c lths. The issue boils down to the difference between pragmatic and dogmatic philosophies. The practical Applications sought for Civil Service jobs Michigan is looking for men to man its toll bridges and supervise state building construction.ac­ cording to State Representative Star ley M. Powell, (R-Ionia). Representative Powell said that the MichiganCivil Service Commission has established a September 25 deadline for submission of applications for open competitive and promotional examinations for the positions. There are openings at the Mackinac Bridge at the Straits and the International Bridge at Sault Ste. Marie for toll collectors and toll supervisors. The toll collection jobs have a pay scale of $5, 600 to $6, 750. Supervisory positions have a salary range of $6, 000 to $8, 050. • Three employment levels for building construc­ tion superintendents are open on a promotional vbasis. These positions have a yearly salary range of $7, 500 to $11, 600. Examinations for the available jobs in these fields have been tentatively set for October 28. Representative Powell suggested that anyone interested in more complete information about the qualifications, responsibilities and salaries of these and other state employment opportunities should contact their local state employment office or write to the Michigan Civil Service Commission in the Lewis Cass Building in Lansing.

Michigan State University supervised the samp­ ling. weighing and testing operations in cooperation with the Holstein organization's herd and breed improvement programs. People talk more about the rights of the mother; now unfair and unwise it is to force her to bear an unwanted or deformed child. The opposing view is that the fertilized fetus is a living human being and no one has the right under any circumstances to des­ troy it. Advocates of this position, while they may lament facts regarding the large number of illegal abortions and the suffering of those who are born deformed, argue strongly that no one has the right to perform this operation. More attention to this issue is likely Colorado adopted a similar law this year. When time teaches what it can about the results there, Michigan will be in a better position to judge what should be done here. In the meantime, it seems certain that legis­ lators will hear more about this controversial topic from constituents on both sides of the question. "VANISHING" FARMERS Michigan is losing farm families at the rate of a­ bout nine a day. In the past 27 yean. Michigan has also lost almost five million acres of produc­ tive farm land. But despite this loss in farm families and the de­ crease in tillable acreage, Michigan's food pro­ duction has generally increased, reports B. Dale Ball, director of the Michigan Department of Agri­ culture. The trend toward fewer but larger farms, with more production per acre, is a national one. Ball points out. He attributes the phenomenon to greater mechanization, more efficient operation, special­ ization, and better farming methods. "Farming has never been more dynamic, " said Thomas K. Cowden, Dean of MSU's College of Ag­ riculture. He attributes the drop in farm families to increased productivity per farm man-hour, not­ ing that fewer people are needed to fill require­ ments of farm production. This, coupled with expansion of farm operations and a corresponding need for more acreage, has re­ duced the number of individual farm owners. John Doneth, MSU agricultural economist, finds that for every nine losses of a "census'.' farm, the state gains three "commercial" farms. "Commer­ cial" farms are those with gross annual incomes of $20, 000 or more while "census" farms can be rural tracts of land with little, if any, farming oper­ ations. "By 1980, we exppet 55 to 60 percent of all our farms to be commercial in contrast to less than five percent five years ago and only .about 10 per­ cent today," Doneth explains. Farming is big business, with big investments in land, in livestock and machinery. At the same time, today's farmer is faced with narrow margins of profit on each bushel of grain, ton of fruit or hundredweight of milk and livestock. He must, like retailers and industries, expand to survive. Modern farming has attracted corporation interest Large farms, especiaUy in western states, may be controlled by boards of directon and involve thou­ sands of acres. Capital outlay for modern farm ma­ chinery has forced many independent farmers to consolidate use of machinery, much the way bus­ inesses rent time on complicated computer systems. The future seems obvious. Farms will continue to grow in size, become fewer in number. This should influence the planning of educational i n stitutions and government agricultural services. More resources will be concentrated on agricul­ tural research and development, with less emphas­ is on the marginal farmer or the man who works in the city and farms as a sideline. — Twilla Marisch of NashviUe has joined the j u n ior membership ranks of Holstein-Friesian Associ­ ation of America. Nearly 13. 900 youngsters are now actively enrolled in the weed organization's pro­ grams. To qualify, member candidates must be under 21 yean of age and have successfully completed one year's work in a 4-H or vocational agriculture dairy project. Individual ownership of at least one Regis­ tered Holstein is also required. Junior members of the national Association are en­ titled to all privileges except voting. They may reg­ ister and transfer their animals at member rates and receive regular reports of breed and organization progress.

SEPTEMBER 28, 1967 NUMBER 18 ________ �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Our Maple Valley boys started the season out right with the win over Lakewood, but they didn't hold up too well against Middleville the other night. The Middleville boys had a bit of size. Some of them looked like they should have been playing for the Detroit Lions. Back when I was in high school in Detroit they used to kid about the football team for Hamtramck. The Hamtramck football teams were always the big winners of the day. One year their line outweighed the Detroit Lions line. I'm glad we don't have to play a team like that. Our team did well to stand up against Middleville as well as it did. Michigan State sure goofed up a bit over the weekend too. They never were a first half. team. Now they aren't a second half team either.

Tney are going into politics right mostly far right, particularly in California. Reagan, Murphy, Black (Temple) all have quit making with the songs, dances and Jokes and have gone into promises, speeches and campaign handshaking. It has come to ‘ point where the professional politicians are runi scared. Shirle Temple would be a tough act to follow in any debate. Now comes Ferency who could throw a scare into the entertainers.

SWu, V’j i- v’f’ ;<•-.> ..■*£* . . .. . ... ;'>w . t* Freedom of the Press Belongs to the People By Theodore A. Serrill Executive Vice President, National Newspaper Association Who ever told that nosey editor he had a right to pry into what happened at our council meeting? What gave that reporter any idea that he could write about the school directors the way he did? The answer is that there is no law, rule, regulation or order that specifically requires a newspaper reporter to cover city council, school board or court sessions. The Constitution says “Congress shall make no law ... abridg­ ing the freedom of the press.” One can search out all of the laws of the Federal Government, right down to the Freedom of Information bill passed by the 89th Congress, and find nothing further about “the press.” The same can be said of state law. Most state consti­ tutions recognize freedom of the press to publish news, but none particularize these rights, or set down any press responsibilities. The newspaper is not required to report the city coun­ cil meeting or send someone to the school directors' ses­ sions. The reporter could stay home. Nor do laws specify that “the press” be accorded any special treatment before any public body. “Open meeting laws” never mention newspapers, reporters, or news media. They simply affirm the right of the public at large to attend and observe meet­ ings of governing assemblies. Mrs. Smith, then, can “cover” the city council — for her club, her neighborhood, or just for herself. The princi­ ple of open government meetings was established for the people — the resident, the voter, the taxpayer, all the governed — not solely for the press or its representatives. Then why is it that “the right to know” and “freedom of information” always seem to be linked with the press? In the very early days of American settlement all of the people of a local community would gather in the town meeting and determine the affairs of the community. Al­ most everybody attended, and those who didn’t, soon learned from the informed majority. But villages soon grew into cities, and the “pure democracy” of the town meeting gave way to representa­ tive democracy. Government was growing more remote from the people. It was also growing more complicated. Yet the citizen, as a voter, had the same responsibility to keep himself informed. It followed naturally that the Nation’s fledgling press should fill the role of reporter and commentator on public affairs. No one passed a law requiring it. The Founding Fathers simply had faith that a private press, given the guarantee df freedom to do so, would accept the responsi­ bility. And of course it has. For nearly two centuries newspapers have attended meetings of governing bodies, reporting and interpreting in behalf of the public. The reporter attends city council meetings as a mem­ ber of the public. He has a right to be present only if the public retains that right. The editor comments on the council's decisions — or Ja^lCof them — as an ordinary citizen. While he is aided in his function by the printing press at his disposal, it gives him no special rights. He can comment only so long as the public has a privilege of commenting. The “right to know” and “freedom of information” are concepts with which the newsman works every day. The same professional tradition which sends him to the city council meeting compels him to resist inroads on these public rights. For he knows, and the public should always realize too, that in all that he does, the newspaperman acts as a citizen, in behalf of his fellow citizens. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN.

I'm not much of a person to be answer­ ing this sort of thing, but after reading this one, 1 sat right down and filled it in and sent it back. After all, if these people representing us go to the trouble to try and find out hew we feel about things such as the proposed surtax, help for schools, federal funds for cities and civil rights problems, I think we should take the time to answer a questionaire. The proposed surtax is one tax we sure can do without and I hope any one that has a chance to tell a Senator or Congressman does so with plenty of feeling. •k Creme Sen M TlkMIt SmI « Lu|t CinAtt DEBT ».

SEPTEMBER 28, 1087 Bellevue Michigan 763-345 �, WATERFRONT CONSERVATION Debris. Polution. Stagnation. Stench. These steps rapidly turn beautiful inland lakes and rivers into smelly, unsightly eyesores. Communities once proud of their attractive waterfronts now see all sorts of rubbish crowd out green and wooded shoreline. Sparkling blue water Becomes sluggish and brown. But forward-looking communities can deal with such conditions. Public-spirited citizens can re­ store and maintain original beauty through com­ munity cooperation. The city of Owosso, using local volunteer labor, has completed now its second annual cleanup of 3 1/2 miles of Shiawassee River shoreline. An editorial in the Owosso Argus-Press on May 7, 1965, pointed out that the city’s "Cleanup-Week" might include improving the appearance of the Shi­ awassee River. Nothing was done that year, but in July of 1966 the Shiawassee River Assn, proposed a community­ wide river cleanup. The city proclaimed July SC­ SI Owosso " River Days" and under the leadership of local attorney James S. Minor, citizens rolled up their sleeves. Businesses and the Argus-Press promoted the pro­ ject throughout the month, and more than 500 per­ sons turned out to restore charm and cleanliness to the river and shoreline. The city supplied a bulldozer to deepen the riv­ er and level riverbed "humps. " City and privatelyowned trucks were used to haul away junk and de­ bris. Refreshments and food were furnished to work­ ers by residents living along the river. Teenage workers outnumberecf adults. Crews cleared more than a mile of riverbank as the first step toward building a riverside walkway from the east city limits to downtown. Participation was strong again this year. Follow­ ing last year s turnout there was speculation that citizens would lose interest in future cleanups. How­ ever, about 150 showed up August 12-13 to contin­ ue the improvement program. "We had fewer people this year, but we didn't need as many, " Minor commented. "We got twice as much junk from the river last year, and it a p pears that Owosso residents have learned not to use the river as a dumping ground. " The city has increased enforcement of anti-lit­ ter laws. Police and residents have become highly sensitive to offenders throwing trash into the water. Benefits of waterfront improvement are numer­ ous. Restoration of natural beauty, water conser­ vation, increased property values and expansion of community park and recreation facilities can re­ sult. And such a community effort brings a feeling of community accomplishment and pride. The idea has already caught on in other parts of Shiawassee County. It may start a trend. $29 MILLION PROBLEM Resort owners along Lake Michigan can expect next year's alewife problem to be as bad as this year, according to Dr. Wayne Tody, Chief of the Michigan Fishery Division, Department of Conser­ vation. . In 1967, miles of sandy beaches were covered with dead alewife, an almost useless fish about the size of a herring. Most effective control over exploding alewife population is introducing millions of coho smelts (Pacific salmon) to the Great Lakes. Salmon find alewife tasty meals upon which to multiply. Dr. Tody points out. However, at the rate Michigan is producing the smelts control may never be reached. Three to four million smelts can be hatched each year un­ der present facilities, he notes. Long-term goals call for 45 million smelts, 30 million from hatcheries and 15 million from natur­ al hatching in Michigan streams. Opening Oct. 2nd Misener & Son Service Vermontville Formerly Nick s Service UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT MOWER SALES A SERVICE FARMERS GAS A OIL The problem is financing. Some Federal funds are available on a match-money basis, but the en­ tire project is estimated at $29, 500, 000. The lioni share would have to be financed with state monies since there is a ceiling on Federal participation. If financing were made available this fiscal year, it would still be 1975 before full effects of the pro­ ject would be felt. Dr. Tody said. The solution to the problem rests with the people. Legislators respond to constituents. If the people wish to eliminate alewife littering beaches, clog­ ging water intake lines and depressing more desir­ able species of fish, they must make their wishes known. Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14 Michigan's high fire losses of 297 lives and al­ most $65 million in property damage in 1966 sharply focus attention, for this year's Fire Preven­ tion Week on need for vigilant day to day safety precautions, said Capt, Glenroy M. Walker, chief of the State Police fire marshal division. Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14. Walker said the home last year again proved to be the most dangerous place for loss of lives by fire. He said 101 of the 168 adult deaths and 115 of the 129 child fatalities resulted from fires o c earring in the home. Michigan analysis showed that careless smoking and clothing catching fire were leading causes of fatal fires for adults. Defective heating units and playing with fire were major causes of child deaths. The Michigan fire death toll in 1966 was a new high for the sure and the damage total ranked sec­ ond only to the $78 million loss in 1953. Walker suggested these precautions: Instruct occupants of dwellings and buildings in fire safety practices. Give special attention to night evacuations. Don't leave young children at home unattended. Be sure that sitters or others supervising children in the absence Of parents know what to do in event of fire. Keep fire-making devices out of the reach of youngsters. See that all electrical appliances and equipment are properly maintained ana in good repair. Avoid overloading electrical circuits. Always use fuses properly rated for the circuit because they are fire safety valves. Safely dispose of combustible waste and properly store any flammable material. Be especially careful when handling flammable liquids. Regularly inspect building heating equipment and structures, giving special attention to the pre-winter heating season check. Be careful-with any lighted tobacco and associa­ ted lighting devices. Contact local fire officials when in doubt on fire safety matters.

KAoj^ \/cJ$£u^ TlX Atishvillr Xcvvs VOLUME 95 10 Cents a Copy Police committee to study p etition request A petition signed by 97 persons was presented the Nashville village council Thursday asking for the immediate removal of Chief of Police Robert Park­ er. There were no specific charges made in the petition. The petition read: "We the undersigned hereby petition the Village council of the village of Nash­ ville, County of Barry, State of Michigan, for immediate removal of Robert Parker as Chief of Police of said village. " The signers were mostly residents of the village, although there were a few who reside outside the village. Some 25 persons visited the council and of the group some six or seven persons made statements as to why Parker should be dismissed, although everyone there had the opportunity to speak. Horace Powers of Charlotte, attorney for the vil­ lage, was present at the meeting. The principal causes for dismissing Parker, as stated by those who did speak up were charges that Parker had been discourteous and insulting at times, that his inter­ pretations of the law had been different for one person than another, and that the officer had stop­ ped cars when they deemed it unnecessary. Police Chief Parker was then given a chance to discuss the charges with the council The officials then voted to suspend Parker for ope week and referred the matter to the police committee for further investigation. After the po­ lice committee further investigates the matter, and has a chance to talk to several individuals in­ volved, a definite move will be taken by the council, probably within the next week. The only other business transacted was the pay­ ing of bills in the amount of $3, 898. 76 and the necessity of setting up a more detailed report of village affairs as required by law. n' v^^Ue\ “ THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1967 NUMBER 19 Homecoming celebration planned for this Friday The Homecoming celebration will be observed this Friday night when the Maple Valley Lions meet the Portland team.

When people ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she always tells them that she wants to be a mother. They then go through a routine where they say "don'tyou want to be a schoolteacher?" "No. " "A secretary?1 "No. " "Airlines hostess?" "No, just a mother. " The other day this little girl's mother was giving her a bad time because she nad not done a good job of cleaning up her room. "Just look at this room, "the mother said, "What kind of a mother are you going to be if you don't do a better job of cleaning than that?" "Mother, "the little girl said, "can't you give me just a few years of childhood?" I was telling a fellow about the old cars that went through town a couple of weeks ago and in do­ ing so I described a few of them that I thought were stand-outs. I told about a Model-T that stopped by the side of the road, and this friend said "I had one just like that The first car I ever owned. " He was just a young fellow at the time, and he took his father along with him to pick up the car. Father and son got into the Model-T and took off for home without going into too much detail with ■ the former owner about the operation of the vehi ­ cle. When they swung up the street where they lived they saw the mother sitting on the front porch wait­ ing for them to come home for supper. When they B" tost to the place to turn into the driveway my friend discovered that he had too much _ or the turn into the drive and he couldn't remember just what the procedure was for negoti­ ating such a sham turn. So he just went right past the house. Both father passenger and driver son waved cheerily to the porch-sitting mother as they went past the house. She waved back, wondering if they had suddenly remembered something they intended to purchase at the store. Somehow they got around the block and my friend zeroed in on the drive again. Again he real­ ized he was not going to make it, and again they gave the mother a lusty wave. She returned the salutation with a look of wonder in her eye. Had her husband and son suddenly decided to go some­ where else to eat supper and they were just check­ ing to see that she was o. k. ? She watched them go down the street and then calmly went back to her reading of the evening paper. It came as no great surprise to her to see the car again approaching the house. It came as no great surprise to her to see the men wave again as they went past. This time though, they had an air of desperation much as Columbus must have had as he waved to Queen Isabella and he thought for a moment that maybe the rest of the people were right and that he would sail right off the edge of the earth. She got up, put her paper down and went into the bouse, tired of the waving game. By this time she had concluded that the two men had entered into some sort of a driving endurance contest and that they would expect her to be at the curb w ith sandwiches to throw to them on their next pass. By the next time around, father and son togeth­ er had worked out the mechanics of turning into the driveway. They slowed her down and wheeled up the chive. When they came into the kitchen the mother was putting the finishing touches on the meal She made no comments about the racing past the house and madly waving. She no doubt realized the fu tility of engaging in a lengthy conversation with a couple of lunatics. They had never shown signs of violence, but then, one never knows when this type might go completely ape. Perhaps one little question like "what was with the driving past the homestead and gayly waving?" might set them off. The only thing she said was "If you two ever get that thing going in a straight line and can't turn around the block, just send me a postcard and let me know where you wound up. " On the way up to Charlevoix last Friday evening we ran into a heavy snow between Clare and Houghton Lake, b snowed so bard that there about two inches on the ground in places. This has been a darn short summer, and it looks as if we are in for a dam long winter. Lay in a good supply of fire wood and get ready for it. The caterpillars have long hair, the squirrels are put­ ting nuts away like mad. and even the gcassboppen are preparing far a bit of a long hard winter. The honeymoon is over... Nashville is again without a policeman, at least for the remainder of the week. The circumstances that brought on the situation are about the same as circumstances that ha ve brought on the several other terminations of cooperation between the lbw enforcement officer of the village and the people of the village. . , r Nashville is in somewhat the position of a movie queen who has just decided to live separately irom her husband. She issues a statement that a reconciliation is entirely possible but her past record of dumping husbands belies the statement The present unpleasantness came about with the presentation to the village council of a petition de­ manding that officer Parker be immediately dismissed. The petition was signed by 98 people. Getting that number of people in the village to agree on anything is quite an accomplishment in itself. If this were the first time that a number of people were unhappy with the police situation the 98 sig­ natories might carry more creditability. This is not the first time though. We have gone through po­ licemen like Custer went through the Indian country. When the village has a problem with every police officer it has had, perhaps it had better look to itself for the cause and the solution rather than the officer alone. The village which can not keep any policeman is rather like the actress who just can't keep a husband. Sooner or later one gets the notion that she herself might be at fault, or at least one suspects she should share the blame. No one expects a policeman to be loved. The nature of many of his duties are such that he must make decisions and initiate actions that sometimes are inconvenient to say the least. No one enjoys being caught breaking the law. Few of us can smile gayly when we receive a ticket and admit we de­ ________ ______________________________ served it. _______________ There are always circumstances that should have: been taken into consideration. On the other hand, we all tend to look at the other fellow and say he should be ticketed for driving too fast, or he should be taken in for being drunk on the street. So, no matter what the decision the policeman makes, it is almost bound to be unpopular with some group. It would probably not be too difficult to find 98 people who would sign a petition against any police­ man. Perhaps the difficulty comes because we expect our police chief to be infallible. Certainly the man has made some mistakes. It is not impossible to believe that there might be some merit to some of the complaints citizens who attended last Thursday's council meeting made against him. We cannot condone discourtesy by anyone, particularly by a urw officer. On the other hand we cannot condone mob rule and unsupported charges. If the council decides there is not sufficient cause to discharge Chief Parker and if he is going toremain on in Nashville as our law officer, then it would behove every citizen, those who signed the pe­ tition included, to give him every cooperation possible and this includes signing formal complaints against those we would have arrested. If the law is going to be enforced in Nashville at all, it must be enforced with equity. If the law is fair for all there is no cause to complain. Should the council decide not to reinstate Parker, or should he decide he does not want to come back, we might be in trouble. With our record of difficulties with police officers it might not be too easy to find someone willing to risk his reputation for a few months of not too highly paid work for a very unstable employer. Certainly nothing should be done without giving the police officer a chance to hear formal charges made in an open meeting by the person complaining, and without giving him an opportunity to answer these charges. Nashville needs police protection just as much as the big cities do. Let us hope that we can let by­ gones be bygones and that we can live in peace with our peace officer. Nashville merchants plan Fall Festival o f Values The Nashville business people are planning a town-wide l£Sale and Fall Festival of Values for October'19, 20 and 21. A special coverage sec­ tion of the News will be distributed to householders in the area to publicize this sale. Merchants will have special displays and many have already re­ ceived,special sale items to make the weekend shopping in Nashville-wdll worth while. On Saturday, October 21, Buck Barry, popular television cowboy and his horse will be in town to entertain the crowds. Local artists are encouraged to display their work in the park on that day. John Simon, chairman of the retail committee of the Chamber of Commerce says, "this promo­ tion depends upon full support of everyone in the area. Participation by all the business people is very important. " He also said that from the looks of things now, there should be plenty of incentive to come to town to get in on the many bargains.

License suspended Jackpot News In Vermontville last Friday night Florence Bull­ ing collected the $50. jackpot at Spicer's Circle S Variety Store. The new jackpot will be $25. 00. In Nashville, three names were drawn as usual, and there was one winner. He was Fred Ackett. . The other two names drawn were Elizabeth Curtis and Mary Struttman, The scrip was held at Kelleys 5dto$J. 00 Store. October 8 through 14 is National Fire Prevention Week. This is one of the many weeks which really makes sense. They come up with many special weeks which don't mean a thing, but this one we can really get behind. During this week it would be especially nice if each and every one of us made it a spec ial point to let at least one of the firemen know how much we appreciate what they are doing. As one who chases fires, 1 can attest that they put in long, hard, dangerous bouts fighting fires and many more hard hours learning new techniques *nd keepinfl equipment in ih*pe. It is too bad that we have to pick a week to be Fire Prevention Week. Every week should be dedi­ cated to preventing fires and every day should be devoted to making the fireman's job a lot easier.

All members attending. The minutes of the August meeting were read and of one special meeting in August, and were ap­ proved as read. Also present at this meeting were Mr. George Wat­ son, village attorney and Mr. Kenneth Anderson,our engineer to report on progress on proposed sewerage system. Bills were presented. General Fund $394. 07 Street Fund 36. 66 Street Improvement 2, 718. 75 Bond & Interest Maintenance & Operating (Water Works 83ft 08, including audit­ ing. Cleo Prescott moved, LaVance Aldrich sup­ ported the motion that the bills be allowed. Orders drawn on the proper funds. All ayes. Yearly Audit Report was read and accepted. Vernon Trowbridge reported that the Chamber of Commerce and the local Lion's Club have again offered to help cover the cost of adding to the dec­ orations for the village Christmas. If the village will pay one half, the two organizations will split the remainder of the cost of two more strings o f lights. Cleo Prescott moved the offer be accepted. Wm. Sunton supported the motion. All ayes. Clerk to send letters of acceptance to Chamber and Lions. Our newly appointed Deputy, Mr. Thom Keith thinks that a one man police force should have ra­ dio service in his car. He has investigated the mat­ ter and finds a radio can be rented at the rate o f $12. 00 per month, this cost includes repair on ra­ dio. Mr. Keith also asked for proper insurance on self and car. Cleo Prescott moved we rent a radio unit for Mr. Keith. Russel Kerbyson supported the motion. All ayes. Mr. Keith agreed to pay his in­ surance already in effect, the village to pay added > cost. He also needs a siren yith a P. A. system. He agreed that is .he village would buy these articles he will pay for them himself, so much to be de­ ducted from his checks. Clerk reported that the old adding machine is badly in need of cleaning and repair. Permission was granted to have it cleaned and repaired or if cost for this was too high, look into cost of a dif­ ferent one. Attorney George Watson reported on his meeting with the State Water Resources Commission, in the village's behalf, August 29, .1967. We were grant­ ed a six (6) months extension on all counts. We f must submit sewerage plahs June 1, 1968. Surt construction January 1, 1969, complete construc­ tion March 1, 1970. Word has been received that an FHA grant has been approved for a sewerage system in the village of Vermontville, but as there are so many requests for grants from this source and there is only so much money appropriated each year, it would be about six (6) years before there is much of a chance of our receiving any money. Mr. Watson made several other suggestions where a loan might be obtained. The original cost pre­ sented to the Council for sewers was $426, 000. 00. At the rate all costs are rising each year will bring this figure up. Mr. Watson feels that as the cost to individuals as property owners for sewerage will of a necenity be high, a public meeting should be ar­ ranged in the very near future to acquaint the vil­ lagers of this cost. At this meeting all citizens are urged to attend. Mr. Watson and a representative from Williams & Works Engineering Firm will endeavor to explain any questions. Donald Hosey, 10016 Vermontville Highway, has granted the village permission to use as a dump, an old gravel pit on his farm. It will cost the village itself $1, 000. 00 per year. Citizens wishing to use this dump will be charged a small fee. Consumers Power have cut a great many trees in the village. President Trowbridge has asked Kenyon Peabody and LaVance Aldrich to find out about re­ placing trees. All business at hand taken care of, meeting ad­ journed at 11:00 p. m. Vernon Trowbridge, President Leta Nagle, Clerk Local art 1st is guest s peake r at meeting Thirty-eight members and guests of the Nashville Woman's Literary Club met at the home of M rs;. Gordon French on Wednesday, September 27 at 1:30. The club had opened the year with a dinner at Lake­ wood Inn on September 20. but had planned a spec­ ial meeting to welcome and honor the life members and special guests who had been club members in the past. Mrs. Gale Keihl explained to the group that Mrs. V. B. Furaiss, Mrs. Carl Tuttle, and Mrs. W. A. Vance were life members who had been chosen several years ago. No new members had been added to the list Mrs. Jesse Garlinger who joined the club in 1924-25, Mrs. C. E. Mater who joined in 1925-26, and Mrs. Franz Maurer who joined in 1927-28. As there was no mention of life members in the Con­ stitution or by-laws of the club, the committee de­ cided that after a member had belonged for thirty consecutive years, they were entitled to life mem­ bership. Mary Holman was the guest speaker. She delight­ ed the group with many of her experiences as a painter. She showed many beautiful sea scapes that she had painted and described Rockport where she had studied and painted. ~ ’ The tea committee. Mrs. Richard Bogart, Mis.

The morning worship service is scheduled for 11 a. m. lollowed by a dinner at 12:30 p. m. A special program will begin at 2:30 p. m. with an organ pre­ lude by Mrs. Floyd (Lovelie) Miller. Guest speaker will be Harold Doster, assistant to the president of Bethany college, Bethany, West Virginia. Others appearing on tne program will inclune a vocal solo by a former resident, Mrs. Noreen (Cole) Fox o f Battle Creek; reminiscing by former pastors, a chalk talk by former resident, Mrs. Maxine (Win­ ters) Hawkins of Kalamazoo, and hymns by the congregation. The earliest record of the Briggs church is con­ tained in a history of the M. E. church of North West Assyria dating back to December 30, 1883 and written by Wesley A. Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Clark. His mother, Clorinda, was one of six who organized the first M. E. class at B a 111 e Creek in 1836 and later the North West Assyria church. In the summer of 1854 the people of the Briggs vicinity organized a Sunday school in a log school­ house about a mile south of the present church. It was kept up during the summers with a good a t tendance. In the autumn a minister by the name of Rev. Gee (no first name available) preached once In two weeks on a Sunday evening. In the spring of 1855 the Sunday school was again started and continued through that summer. At this time the school was moved to near where the Eagle school now stands, and the Briggs school was built. Worship services were held in the Briggs school un­ til 1867 when the present church was ouilt on land donated by George L. and Ann Briggs. During the Civil War the Briggs church was in a circuit which included Maple Grove and Kalamo. The ministers were the Rev. Chase, Rev. Hoyt and Rev. Wilkinson. The war caused the congregation to diminish as many went into the service. A "working minister", the Rev. Richards, then came, and during his time steps were taken to build the church. Tne Rev. L. H. Bennett replaced Rev. Rich­ ards. The cornerstone of the church was laid and a Targe addition was made to the Sunday schoollTbrary. The heavier timbers in the church were hewed out by hand and the finished lumber was planed by hand from whitewood boards. The pews in the church are a fine example of the old art of wood-graining. With the new church the congregation continued to grow and a parsonage was built in Nashville with contri­ butions from mis area. From 1871 until 1874 appeared to be a rather hec­ tic time for the church. When the Rev. C. W. Ellis was sent in 1871 the circuits were changed and the Briggs church was "left out". The conference ap­ pointed the Rev. J. M. Aikens, but he failed to show up. A Rev. J. F. Wallace then supplied and a new circuit formed which took in the Bell district. Services were held regularly every Sunday and the balance of the church debt was paid. An effort was made to build a parsonage, but failed. Preachers were again exchanged with Nashville and the con­ stant changing proved a burden to the church caus­ ing a membership drop. In 1874 the church was transferred to the Pennfield circuit. Services were held every two weeks. Later the Rev. Wm. P. Mosher covered six preach­ ing places, three being served each Sunday. The Cobblestone, North Marshall or Cleveland and the Pennfield one week, and the North West or Briggs, Bell and Bouton the next. The church managed to grow, and an active Sunday school in the 1890's numbered 134 members. Around 1910 the young people's Plus Ultra class worked actively for the church, repairing the organ and in 1915 purchased a piano for the church. In 1920 a major project was undertaken and a basement was dug under the church. The formal opening was held in May 1921. With the comple­ tion of the basement the Ladies Aid Society had a place to meet and serve their chicken suppers with- protection We will protect your car as he will protect your children.

Further progress was made in 1931 in the modernization of tne church building. In A­ pril a coal and wood furnace was installed. Elec­ tricity was installed in August with the young peo­ ple of the church helping finance it. In 1946 xthe Briggs church was transferred from the Pennfield circuit to the present circuit with Banfield and Dow­ ling. The chancel of the church was remodeled in 1958. Most of the $900. 00 required was raised by subscription with the Women's Society of Christian Service paying the balance. The WSCS was first organized as the "Ladies Social" on January 26, 1866, for the purpose of raising funds to purchase furnishings for the church.

We’ve at; * et an excelL product Handle dough as little and lightly as possible. Too much handling develops the gluten in the flour and the crust becomes tough. With pastry blender or two knives, scissors fashion, cut one-half of shortening into flour until like cornmeal — for tenderness. Cut in rest of shortening until like large peas—-for flakiness (cut all like peas if extra flaki­ ness is desired). Use light cutting motion—don't mash the fat or overwork it This can cause the fat to become too soft and the mixture will not take up enough water to make pastry flaky. Sprinkle water (cold if flaky pastry desired)'! table­ spoon at a time, over different parts of mixture, tossing quickly with fork until particles stick together when pressed gently and form dough that clings to fork. If more water is needed, add Vz tablespoon at a time just enough to gather dough together. With cupped hands, lightly form dough into small ball and allow to stand 5 minutes before rolling. Divide dough about in half if for two-crust pie. Round up larger part on lightly floured cloth-covered board — the rolling pin covered with stockinette. Flour rubbed into covers keeps dough from sticking—yet is not taken up by dough. Flatten dough bail with hand, roll out not quite Vfe inch thick. Roll the dough with short, light strokes, lifting up as you reach edge so dough doesn't become too thin. Roll about a 12 inch circle. Fold pastry in half and scoop under it with a broad spatula to trans­ fer to pie pan. Unfold. Avoid stretching. Trim off edges with scissors. Roil out other part of dough for top crust a little thinner than for bottom crust and large enough to extend one inch beyond edge of pan. Fold extra edge of top pastry under edge of lower pastry. Seal thoroughly by pressing together on edge of pan. Flute edges and - into the baked shell, make as for 1-crust pie then prick pastry with fork and bake at 475° for 8 minutes. If pastry persists in puffing up, quickly reach in oven, prick again in two places. When cool, pour in filling.

Natural crow predators have been removed, and modem land use presents a virtual smorgasbord for the ever hungry crow. The crow diet consists of 70 per cent vegetable matter, and when this vegetable matter is made up of seed that the farmer has just planted, a crop can be nearly destroyed before it has seen the light of day. For this reason, the crow hunter is most often welcomed by the farmer, and the hunt can frequently you shoot" The birds pumped up the hill of com stubble to­ provide a foundation for friendship that will carry over to other outdoor pursuits. range when suddenly they swung upwards and rode the wind back toward the oak trees. “Something spooked them," my hunting pal said, and though I didn’t tell him, I knew that the slight movement of my hand toward the trigger of the shot­ gun had been enough to “goof” our shooting.

The black bandit is the greatest cause of waterfowl decline, next to the loss of wetlands.

Game a range of flavor delicacy as wide as the variation of the sport in hunting for them. The ouality and flavor of game, however, depends to a very large extent on the care they receive after the hunter has bagged them. The simple rules to follow are these: The birds should be drawn soon after they have been s^t-The body beatsfK>u,b te allowed to dissipate as quickly as possible. The birds should be kept cool or at cold temperatures until they are to be cooked. When testing game birds to determine those which are young and tender the stiffness of the bill is usually significant. If pheasants and grouse, for example, can be lifted by the lower jaw and nothing breaks, they are mature birds whose jaws are set. They will not be as tender and will require more cooking than the younger, less developed birds. Young ducks can be determined in the early part of the season by the slight continuation of the stem of the tail feathers which will extend about one-eighth of an < inch beyond the fibres, a certain indication of a young bird. We wouldn’t fry a stewing chicken; so don’t try to dry roast an old game bird. If you choose the proper method of cooking, the meat is delicious. The following recipes show you the way.

VENISON ROUND STEAK �THE WORLD'S CHAMPION MINIATURE WRITER by Irving Wallace f James W. Zaharee were writing this piece he could I write it in a straight line on a human hair inch long. He has written the 1130 words of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Ad­ Va dress on a hair 2 ¥4 inches long. Under a powerful microscope his lettering is as clear as a line of type. Zaharee attracted world-wide attention when he wrote Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 18 times, the English alphabet 30 times and his own name 34 times on a 2-cent postage stamp, a total of 20,000 characters. To fully appreciate miniature writing one should at­ tempt to write their initials on a hair or on a grain of rice. When Zaharee wrote 9,007 letters on a grain of rice for Robert L. Ripley he won recognition as the world’s cham­ pion minipture writer. Zahare&was not satisfied. Next he wanted to see how much writing he could put on one side of a rice grain. He started by copying the Declaration of Independence and then found room to add the names of the 13 colonies and the 56 signers, making a total of 7,576 characters. One time an elderly industrialist asked Zaharee to make him a copy of his will on a grain of rice. After read­ ing the finished work through a powerful microscope, he beamed, "I’ll bet this is one document they won’t tamper with after I’m gone.” Who induced him to enter such business? A bull! Not the gentle Ferdinand, as one might suppose, but a real tough bull, who got sore when young Jim Zaharee got a teen-age idea of speeding up work on their North Dakota farm by substituting a motorcycle for the pony to round up the herd. When the bull got through with Jim, Jim landed in the hospital. While recovering in the hospital, Zaharee entered some miniature writing contests. He found his skill so proficient he went on to win one contest after another. After a short stint at a teachers college in Minot, North Dakota, Zaharee transferred to the Univer­ sity of Michigan. During all of his collegiate days he con­ tinued his miniature writing contest endeavors. During the years Zaharee has appeared at all the im­ portant state fairs, expositions and even with traveling tent shows, and during this time he has written the names of approximately 250,000 people while they waited for their souvenir grains of rice. The grains of rice are so small that he glues them on cards. It has been estimated that he has written between ten and twelve million characters on tiny grains of rice since the bull tangled with his motorcycle. To see Zaharee, who has a build of a football player and the hands of a blacksmith, you would never guess he was the world’s smallest writer. His best work is 1/2000 the size of average writing.

Between times he acts as an unprotesting pet for the neighborhood children. Jake’s Boxer ancestry is akin to all bull-dog types. He is full of courage and stamina and very few fleas. Though only two years old, Jake springs from a line of dogs known throughout Europe since the 16th century. In spite of Jake’s outstand­ ing characteristics which put him in a class all by himself, he shares a common phobia with every other hound in the neighborhood. Jake hates to take a bath. There is no simple way to overcome this problem, except to give Jake a bath whether he likefe^it or not. Jake doesn’t appreciate the gift. If Jake would just stand still in one spot he could be washed and simonized right along with the family automobile. But he won’t cooperate.

NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. OCTOBER 12, 1987 UltMVlIlt �Serves church 50 years Trends change over the years, even in church habits. In the horse and buggy days, particularly in the rural communities, one attended church and Sunday school in the immediate neighborhood. If one moved, new associations were made and t he local church became the focal point of worship. The little country church, as well as the school were the puclee’ of rural activity. This is not true nowadays. With travel made easy, one may continue to attend his regular church though it may mean driving a considerable distance on a Sunday to be with old friends. These are conclusions drawn by Floyd Miller, a Sunday school teacher in the Briggs Methodist church on Lacey road southwest of Nashville for 50 years. The Briggs church observed its centennial on October 8, and Mr. Miller has been associated with the church for more than half that time. As a youngster he was enrolled in a Sunday school class with Mrs. Guy C. Kellar as the teacher. Follow­ ing her was Mrs. Lucy Marshall The class was a n active group. In order to participate in the social events the students were required to be in Sunday school at least one Sunday in four. By the time Floyd was in his teens he recalls they were always arranging for special programs whereby they would bring in guest speakers and sell tickets to finance such events. The class was known as the "Plus Ul­ tra. " Then in 1916 Floyd was prevailed upon to teach the class. At the time the membership was made up of teen-agers who were single. However as the clan members married the "Plus Ultras" became the a­ dults, and has continued as such down through the years. Several of the members have been in the class as long as their teacher. Teaching the same group year after year has meant extra time spent in preparing lessons for Mr. Miller. He has not Deen able to pull from his files some previously prepared talk. Much of his success has undoubtedly been due to his intent study of the Holy Land and the use of maps. "I attempt to get participation by the members, several who have been in my class the entire 5 0 years. I often tell them that if they don't uke part in the discussions, then I am going to 'lecture' to them. It usually works. " The class varies in mem­ bership from 20 to less.

LEON FRITH Leonard Service NASHVILLE 0L3-6050 �ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS CAN BE INSTALLED ANYWHERE SEE YOUR ELECTRIC WATER HEATER DEALER PE-D-1371-5 PUBLISHED BY CONSUMERS POWER Police Chief gives resignation The Nashville village council met in special ses­ sion Thursday evening and voted unanimously to ac­ cept with regret the resignation of Police Chief Rob­ ert Parker. A week ago a petition, signed by 98 persons, was presented the council asking for the dismissal of Parker. No specific charge was made against the . Police Chief who had served Nashville for nearly two years. Some 25 of the signers attended tne meeting last week and stated Parker had been dis­ courteous and insulting, and his interpretations of the law had varied for different persons. At that time the council voted to suspend Mr. Parker for a week while the police committee investigated the matter. Following the acceptance of the resignation Vil­ lage President L James Rizor appointed, with ap­ proval of the council, Donald Langham who had previously served on the Police department several years ago. as Acting Village Marshal. Meanwhile the council is accepting applications for the posi­ tion of Police Chief. These persons seeking the po­ sition will be carefully screened before anyone is hired. Five persons visited the council meeting Thurs­ day evening to listen to the action of the council Before the meeting was adjourned the President Ri­ zor pointed out the importance of cooperation of the citizens and the police department and stressed the fact that all animosity should now be dropped. Before another Police Chief is hired it appears more definite rules and regulations will be made, and quite probably in the future any police com­ plaints will be turned over to the police committee — Open&ttrt' The type of funeral ser­ vice desired is decided by the bereaved family, in consultation with the cler­ gyman and funeral direc­ tor. 199 ACRE FARM--with 190 level workland; mod­ em 9 room home; large bams and hog house; 35 , acres for wheat; all tilled; terms. • LARGE DAIRY OR BEEF FARM—about 3 miles from Charlotte; good 6 room home with new attached Se; ample barn room; about 180 acres are le, and most seeded to alfalfa; financing ; can be arranged. * > ■„ COUNTRY HOME ON M-66—one story; attached ! garage; you must see all of this property, inside j and out to appreciate the low price of $12, 750; ; only $2, 000 down; all furniture is available.

Rev. James Varner and Carroll Wolff, Superintendent of the Maple Valley school, both workers for the United Fund, were also shown with Mr. Bontsema at the Kick-off affair. --News Photo The Maple Valley School Board voted to offer a contract to Mrs. Clara Squires who has been serving as library aid at Fuller and Kellogg schools plus working as a noon hour supervisor. They also vot­ ed to contract with Mrs. Sylvia Williams to teach kindergarten mornings. The noard voted unanimously against inviting Jenison school to join the Expressway league. It was the opinion of the board' members that consid­ ering the rapid growth of Jenison (expected enroll­ ment when becoming a twelve grade high school in 1971 is 5, 000 students) they could not really be in the league long. Because the schedules for this year and next year are already made up by the time Jenison started to participate in sports they would have outgrown the other members of the league. — They also agreed to purchase a tractor for gener­ al school maintenance. The tractor is to have a mower and a snow removal blade. The board also discussed the sale of property which is to take place on November 11. Two build­ ings, Mayo and Kalamo schools, will be sold at that time. Two pick-up trucks and one cut-down school bus will be sold at that time as well as a heavy fire proof door, that was used in the old Nashville high school and some old school furniture and typewrit­ ers.

Bi. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER I was talking to a friend of mine about the riots in Detroit as we ate lunch the other day and he re­ peated a remark he had heard a philosopher make concerning the negroes. This man said the negro must be taught to nave pride in being a negro, or at least he must develop a pride in his er’- 'ic back­ ground. This man was of the opinion that when the black man took pride in being black he could go on to better things. I think this is true. It is true not only in the negro ghetto situation but it is true of all life. I think a great many small, rural communities are in trouble for the same reason the negro is in the ghetto. Often we have lost that touch of pride whicn one should have in his town. W ithout this pride a community starts on the road down hill. This week many of the merchants of Nashville are showing us that they have pride in what they have to sell. They have so much pride that they have sponsored a special advertising piece to go out in the area to draw people in to town. The rest of us can help with this promotion. We can join in the fun and we can get out and shop in the home-town stores. Perhaps if we can keep up this spirit of pride, and with it, a bit of fun, we can put this town on the map! by john boughtoll News Photos She has walked from way down in front to the exit, which is quite a climb, and was happily laughing and puffing Last Friday night I attended an Art Show over at Kalamazoo and it was a show to end all shows! The paintings were done by a friend and a teacher of ours, and along with them were ceramics by another friend. The high-point of the evening, though, was music by a Psychadelic band which would drive you right out of your gray cells! For some reason, those bands turn the gain on the PA system so high that the walls move. The kids liked the music, though. They thought it was real coot The place was really jumping with Hippies, or at least people dressed like Hip­ pies - with daisies pointed on their cheeks. It was a blast and even such an old goat as I got a real kick out of the affair. Amy and I went to the Michigan-MichiganState le last Saturday and I did something I nave wShted to do for some time. I took my camera along, with a long lens on it and took pictures not of the game - but of faces in the crowd. This girl is tired also from the lojg walk up to the exit of the stadium. Now with only a few more steps to go, she closes her eyes and heaves sigh of relief. The business man type here didn't seem too impressed with the way the game was going at this point. I don’t know what it was a­ bout this pair that attracted my eye. out I can tell you that some other men in the stands took a few moments off from watching the game to cast an eye on this couple. They seem to be waiting ; and watching for someone or something. Perhaps they are wondering what has become of the boys who took off to get hot dogs and coffee. Parent-Teacher Conferences scheduled for Oct. 26-27 You can rest assured the boys will return and you can also rest assured the girls will con­ tinue to relieve some of the eye-strain of watching the teams on the field. . There can be little doubt that this fellow is pulling for State. It is not difficult to figure out that his team has just made another score. I have no idea who any of these people are, but I did know who was cheering for which side. This fellow's smile got bigger with each long gain by MSU. . The straw boater was just the thing for the Indian Summer weather we enjoy­ ed at the game. ThiFman seemed happy with the score of the game as he walked out of the stadium.

The Chapter is participating in a nationwide pro­ gram to reduce accidents during the com harvest­ ing seasons. The Safe Com Harvest Program is sponsored by the Farm and Industrial Equipment In­ stitute and the National Safety Council "A safe corn picker operator has only about one chance in a million of being hurt on a picker or combine in the next five years, while the average operator stands one in 25, according to the Univer­ sity of Illinois College of Agriculture, " Jim said. A careless operator has a 50-50 chance of being seriously injured in the next five years. " " The U. of I. study showed the average corn picker loses 10 per cent of the yield. " Jim said. "But one operator in five loses only half this much, while another almost doubjes the average loss. " Fuller PTA Officers have met to plan the first FuUer street PTA meeting of the year.

Vermont­ ville Michigan, September 8th. , 1966. The periods I wish to talk about are the forma­ tive and development years of the village, namely 1836 to the early 1920's, and of the men who ran the businesses of those times, and let me say Ver­ montville was a very busy place. The business areas of Vermontville really devel­ oped in three places; Main Street, an area north­ cast of the Methodist Church, and around the rail­ road station. The first stock of goods offered for sale in the village was brought from Bellevue by Wells R. Mar­ tin and Stephen Scovill, both original Colonists, but the first regular store was not established until 1846-47 when Hale & Frink opened one in the low­ er story of the Academy, now known as the Chapel. The business district first started where Mrs. Beck's house now stands, (just north of the Methodist church) and 1 suppose tlie first two or three stores were in that area, but they soon moved one block jouth and developed the Main Street as it now is. The firm of Frink &. Barber came next, Homer G. Barber succeeding Mr. Hale in 1855, and they were followed by D. F. Barber Co., who sold out tn 186.3. Let me just say a word about Homer G. Bar­ ber. He was the son of E. H. Barber, one of the or • iginal settlers and was about 10 yean of age when brought to Vermontville, and exerted a great in­ fluence on the community during his entire life­ time. For the benefit of our Charlotte guests he was one of the organizers and officers of The Eaton County Bank, and two of his grandsons, Ned B. Al­ so ver and Phil H. Barber were officers in that bank for many years, Phil retiring as President only a couple of yean ago. Homer Barber was also a half brother of Albert Barber who ran a grocery in Char­ lotte for many, many years, Homer Barner also ’ was’one of those who sailed around the Hom to Cal­ ifornia during the 1849 Gold Rush. Well, anyway, the firm of Barber & Martin, (Homer G. Barber and Henry J. Manin) was organized May 15th, 1863 and continued for 10 years. Henry Martin was a son of Wells R. Martin, and was the choir leader of the Congregation Church for many yean. On the dissolution of this firm, Mr. Martin continued bus­ iness with John Downing for 5 years and after that by himself to 1890. The old business established in 1853 was co ntinued by the firm of Barber, Hull and Ambrose. Both Fred A. Hull and Chester A. Ambrose having been clerks in the old store. In 1883 Hull sold his interest to Sidney S. Rockwell, the business con­ tinuing under the firm name of Barber, Ambrose & Rockwell. Homer G. Barber continued in trade until his death in 1909. His drygoods store, south across the street from the bank, was one of the finest in the County. In company with his son, Edw. D. Bar­ ber, a hardware and furniture store was organized, and is still operating in the same building under the ownership of Dale Briggs. Barbers sold the store to Hance Hammond and he to Mr. Dickey. Several others have owned it up to and including Mr. Briggs. In 1872 Mr. Barber started a private bank located in the rear of his dry goods store which remained there until it was reorganized as the Barber State Bank and moved across the street. It is still there, but now owned by the Michigan National Bank. Wm. C. Alsover was the first cash­ ier, followed by Chas. A. Stiles. Another general store was started in June 1854 by Wells R. Martin and John F. Hinman who was from Battle Creek. In about a year Mr. Hinman was succeeded by A. H. Proctor for 2 years when the business known as W. R. Martin & Co. passed in 1859 to the new firm of Benedict & Martin, namely Wm. H. Benedict and Henry J. Martin. Mr. Benedict's interest was later purchased by Mr. Martin and the business contin­ ued by the latter until 1863 when the firm of Bar­ ber & Manin was organized and the stocks of the two stores were consolidated. Wm. H. Benedict, son of the Rev. W. U. Bene­ dict, second pastor of the Congregational church, later engaged in the grocery business, and up until the tune ot tus death was a leading grocer, grain, wool, and provision dealer. Mr. Benedict, inciden­ tally, built the fint grain elevator in the town and rebuilt it after it was destroyed by fire in 1900, and continued to operate it until it was purchased by my father, Charles A. Anderson, who a littly later took in as a partner Joiui H. Gearhart, they operat­ ing the business as a partnership for a few years DON'T we don't take “dsort-cuts* ir^hgning wheels. You know it's done right when you have them aligned here. TrowbrldfSilei 1 Servlet 130 S. Main, 'Verrnootville * Ph 250-7285 when Mr. Anderson repurchased Mr. Gearhart's in­ terest and operated it as sole owner until he sold it to the Citizens Elevator Co. in 1920. So really the elevator has been operated under as few owners as any business in town. Other merchants and traders who followed in ,the footsteps of these men, although not identified with the early settlers, did operate thriving businesses and helped in the growth and development of the village. The first-hotel was built by Wells R. Mar­ tin, one of the original Colonists, using his house as such, which still stands, namely the first house south of the Opera House. The upper story of a brick business block which stood where the Opera House and Standard Oil Station are now located, was used as a hotel under the ownership of a Dan­ cer family who were the parents of Mrs. Edw. D. Bar­ ber. The New England Hotel, which was built ex­ pressly for a hotel, stood just north of the Chapel where Nick's gas station is now located, known la­ ter as the Follette House, and later still as the Park Hotel, was erected in 1855 by James Tufford, later owned by S. A. Gunn, the Marble family and Arthur Allen. Another hotel stood on the SW cor­ net of 2nd and South Main under the ownership of several people, amongst them were Mr. Sherman, Mr. Alf Briggs, Mr. Warren French, Mr. Helm and Mr. Cook. It was later used as a funeral home, but is now used as a residence. The newspaper called the Vermontville ENTER­ PRISE was established in 1874 by J. C. Worcester, it was sold to G. W. Hoskins, and later to F. M. Potter who changed its name to the Vermontville Hawk. Its name was again changed to the Vermontville Echo and was owned and operated by several peo­ ple, some being Mr. Sherman, H. H. Curtis, LeRoy Snell and O. E. McLaughlin. It just recently merged with the Nashville News, and the two papers being issued under the name of the Maple Valley News. As I said before, there were three areas of busi­ ness development in the town. First let us consider Main Street: At the time of my first recollection of the town, around the early 1900's, there were four doctors practicing here, namely Drs. Green, Par­ menter, Charles & Frank Snell, who were followed by Drs. McEachran and McLaughlin. There was also a dentist, Dr. Monkman, who was followed by Dr. Harry Davis. The first veterinarian was Dr. George Davis. C. E. Hammond & Son ran a book and shoe store, also furniture and the town undertaker. Later the first movie was located in one of his buildings. Above his store was die Citizens Tele­ phone Co., with five employees. Mr. Charles Hall ran a pool room and bowling alley, later a skating rink. Mr. Helm had a harness shop. Some of the grocers were the Benedicts, the Ambroses, Ambrose, Moore and Sparks, Allen & Andrews, Allen Eckhart & Lentz, W. H. Miller and Roy Mathews. The Citi­ zens Bank was organized with C. C. Hallenbeck as President and Arthur Bamingham as Cashier. E. B. Hammond had a fine jewelry store and watch re­ pair. A dress making shop next door. Some of the barber shop operators were Rex Briggs, the Hawkins,' Fox Brothen, Chas. Warner, and George Finter. There was a saloon. Alderman's Meat Market, who was succeeded by Henry Mull, later by Mull & Eck­ hart, and one operated by John Bamingham. Bar­ ber's dry goods store, and next door south Lamb's Grocery which later moved across the street, after which Lamb's Hdwe & Implement Co. was estab­ lished in the old store. There were three drug stores, Hull's, Willet s and the Loveland Bros, who were just getting started. Wm. Imes had a dry goods store and his wife a millinery shop, as did Mn. Da­ vid Purchase. O. M. Folger had a produce and feed store, also sold implements as did A. K. Walker, Serol Powen, Ernest Granger and Cal Gehman. Mr. James and Chas. Fleming had a shoe store. Mr. Geo. Seitz had a shoe repair shop and Mr. John Downing ran an ice cream store. Mr. Kemp started a bakery followed by Elias Cole. Geo. McWha ran a pool room. Roy Lamb, Barber Bros, and Louie Lamb started the fint auto agencies. Both hardware and implement dealen handled buggies, wagons,sleighs and cutters. Another development was North East of the Meth­ odist church. It contained two blacksmith shops, run by Amas Kidder and E. L. Jones, later bo(Jj by Wm. Sherrard. Two wagon makers, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Don Hawkins, followed by Mr. Tom Gilson, Herman Zemke operated a feed mill, later by Fred Benedict, then Frank Beck. Elmer Hammond ran a livery stable. There was also a livery stable and skating rink on East First street. Mr. Dorman's blacksmith shop was on East Second street, and a livery barn on West Second St. run at various times by Mr. Kelly. Roy Lamb, Mr. Dean and Mel Bilderbeck. The livery stables also operated hacks to and from the railroad station carrying passen­ gers to and from the- hotels. Mr. E. L. Jones built an addition to his blacksmith shop and started the first auto repair garage, which is the building now owned by the village for storing their street equip­ ment. Kir. Jones was followed by Karl Weiler. Geo. Knowles, Allie Carr, Kenneth Miles and Lynn Grant. Northeast of the town square a couple oi blocks was a brick yard, apple dryer and a crate milt Mr. Joe Beck operated a cheese factory in the hollow just east of Mr. Rawson's house on East Main Street After the arrival of the railroad in 1868 business development started around the depot. The first ■ elevator stood where the present one stands which replaced the original after it was destroyed by fire. The same fire also destroyed Stebbins feed and flour mill which was just to the west. The now va­ cant lot north of the elevator was the location of many businesses. One was a furniture factory, THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1067 whose boiler blew up-killing one employee, the building being destroyed in the ensuing fire, The factory was connected to a warehouse by an overhead tramway, which was located on the railroad ’just southwest of the factory. This warehouse was used after the fire, as a hay barn where hay buy­ ers collected the baled hay and loaded it out in box cars for shipment. John Rhodes was one of the old time buyers, as was Frank Lype and Cal Gehman. It was also used as an apple packing station where apples were bought and packed in barrels for shipment. The lot also contained a cooper shop, just across from the lumber yard, where barrels were made for apple packing. There was also Mr. Browning's feed mill which burned. Mr. Fuller's saw mill occupied the old furniture factory site, until it was moved across South Main street just east from the elevator. Mr. Bodine also had his wood lot there. Mr. Barna Kelly had his home and dray barn on the same property from which he op­ erated a dray line, hauling the freight and U. S. mail to and from the depot and business district. He was succeeded by Charles Park. Just west of the depot was the stock yards out of which live stock buyers operated. Wm. Hickey and the Powers Bros, among others, buying enough stock each week to - usually fill three or four cars. The ground just south of the Depot was used for storage of logs, lumber and sugar beets which were snipped out by the car-load each fall and winter. There were three coal yards, operated by the Elevator, the Lumber Yards and Mr. Chas. Dorman. The cream ery was located just east and across the street from the elevator. Mr. Brown, Mr. Best and Wm. Moore were three of the butter makers. It's principalprod­ uct of course, was butter, which was shipped out by refrigerator car once each week. The Railroad Station was one of the busiest places in town. For a few years it was open 24 hours a day, other than that it was operated by either one or two men, the agent and the clerk, incidentally, my father,Chas. A. Anderson came to Vermontville as the agent, he in turn followed by Glen D. Eddy, and several oth­ ers in later years. There were ten passenger trains each day, two local freights, two through mer­ chandise freights, two stock extras per week which carried nothing but livestock destined to Detroit and Buffalo, and an occasional extra to take care of the surplus traffic. The Lumber Yard, which was'operated by Frank P. Town, later by Bowman &. Waring, then Elo Bowman, followed by Wilsons, is still where it al­ ways was although no longer used as such, being now used for farm implement storage. Just north of the lumber yard was Mr. Lackey's carpenter shop. There were other types of businesses operated from various parts of the town, such as Mr. Frank J. Baily and Mr. Frank Remalie who were sheet met­ al workers and tin smiths. They applied metal ceilings, steel roofs, eavestroughing and other met­ al work and repair. A fine example of Mr. Bally's work is the ceiling in the Congregational church. Then there were teamsters who hauled gravel for the roads in the summer, ice for the ice houses and logs for the saw mills and for shipment in the winter. Also well men, pump men, windmill men, amongst whom were E. J. Tyler, Mr. Ike Nortan • and John Gaut. Mr. Eugene Olin and Mr. Boardman operated an ice delivery in the summer. Mr. Milt Nortan operated a photograph gallery and racket store. Henry and Moses Cross, the Lackeys, Leon Clapper, Fred Boyd, Ben Kline, Walter Boyles , were carpenters. Mr. Morey and Silas Shepard were stone masons, Dan Snoke and Fred Hopper painters and paper hangers. There were fur buyers, and Mr. Herb Cross had a cider mill on the South West cor­ ner just south of the river bridge. Among others who did not own their own busi­ nesses. but spent their lives on Main street and were certainly an important part of the town, and highly respected and as much a part of the institu­ tions in which they worked were Frank Ambrose with Barber Dry Goods Store, M. L Stiles and Pitt Pugh with Barber Hardware Store. we cannot finish this paper, nor must we forget to mention Jennie Martin, who was the daughter of Henry J. Martin and granddaughter of Wells R. Martin, one of the original colonists. In addition to running a successful insurance agency and being the Congregational Church organist, more than that she was a music teacher. An untold number of young people of this communitv received their mu­ sic education from her. several going on to very successful music careen. She was held m great esteem and affection by all who knew her and she surely was an intregal part of this town her entire lifetime. Allof these enterprises and people served the community well, and probably some othen that 1 have failed to mention, added to its economy and were needed during the time they were in opera­ tion, but as automobiles and good roads entered the picture, people were no longer confined w_____ .___ | to ies in finding work and doing >mall communities doini their shopping, so one by i k“ one, a* great number of these businesses have ceased to ex(1st, no longer needed, much to our regret.

In 1872 Mr. Barber started a private bank located in the rear of his dry goods store which remained there until it was reorganized as the Barber State Bank and moved across the street. It is still there, but now owned by the Michigan National Bank. Wm. C. A Isover was the first cash­ ier. followed by Chas. A. Stiles. Another general store was started in June 1854 by Wells R. Martin and John F. Hinman who was from Battle Creek. In about a year Mr. Hinman was succeeded by A. H. Proctor for 2 years when the business known as W. R. Martin &. Co. passed in 1859 to the new firm of Benedict & Martin, namely Wm. H. Benedict and Henry J. Manin. Mr. Benedict's interest was later purchased by Mr. Manin and the business contin­ ued by the latter until 1863 when the firm of Bar­ ber & Martin was organized and the stocks of the two stores were consolidated. Wm. H. Benedict, son of the Rev. W. U. Bene­ dict, second pastor of the Congregational church, later engaged in the grocery business, and up until the tune of his aeath was a leading grocer, grain, wool, and provision dealer. Mr. Benedict, inciden­ tally, built the fint grain elevator in the town and rebuilt it after it was destroyed by fire in 1900, and continued to operate it until it was purchased by my father, Charles A. Anderson, who a little later took in as a partner John H. Gearhan, they operat­ ing the business as a partnership for a few years DON'T your Car vft don't take "short-cuts" Maligning wheels.

Main, Vermontville * Ph 258-7285 when Mr. Anderson repurchased Mr. Gearhart’s in­ terest and operated it as sole owner until he sold it to the Citizens Elevator Co. in 1920. So really the elevator has been operated under as few owners as any business in town. ,i Other merchants and traders who followed in the footsteps of these men, although not identified with the early settlers, did operate thriving businesses and helped in the growth and development of the village. The first-hotel was built by Wells R. Mar­ tin. one of tile original Colonists, using his house as such, which still stands, namely the first house­ south of the Opera House. The upper story of a brick business block which stood where the Opera House and Standard Oil Station are now located, was used as a hotel under the ownership of a Dan­ cer family who were the parents of Mrs. Edw. D. Bar­ ber. The New England Hotel, which was built ex­ pressly for a hotel, stood just north of the Chapel where Nick's gas station is now located, known la­ ter as the Follette House, and later still as the Park Hotel, was erected in 1855 by James Tufford, later owned by S. A. Gunn, the Marble family and Arthur Allen. Another hotel stood on the SW cor­ ner of 2nd and South Main under the ownership of several people, amongst them were Mr. Sherman. Mr. Alf Briggs, Mr. Warren French, Mr. Helm and Mr. Cook. It was later used as a funeral home, but is now used as a residence. The newspaper called the Vermontville ENTER-. PRISE was established in 1874 by J. C. Worcester, it was sold to G. W. Hoskins, and later to F. M. Potter who changed its name to the Vermontville Hawk. Its name was again changed to the Vermontville Echo and was owned and operated by several peo­ ple, some being Mr. Sherman, H. H. Curtis. LeRoy Snell and O. E. McLaughlin. It just recently merged with the Nashville News, and the two papers being issued under the name of the Maple Valley News. As I said before, there were three areas of busi­ ness development in the town. First let us consider Main Street: At the time of mv first recollection of the town, around the early 1900's, there were four doctors practicing here, namely Drs. Green, Par­ menter, Charles & Frank Snell, who were followed by Drs. McEachran and McLaughlin. There was also a dentist, Dr. Monkman, who was followed by Dr. Harry Davis. The first veterinarian was Dr. George Davis. C. E. Hammond & Son ran a book and shoe store, also furniture and the town undertaker. Later the first movie was located in one of his buildings. Above his store was the Citizens Tele­ phone Co., with five employees. Mr. Charles Hall ran a pool room and bowling alley, later a skating rink. Mr. Helm had a harness shop. Some of the grocers were the Benedicts, the Ambroses, Ambrose, Moore and Sparks, Allen & Andrews, Allen Eckhart & Lentz, W. FL Miller and Roy Mathews. The Citi­ zens Bank was organized with C. C. Hallenbeck as President and Arthur Bamingham as Cashier. E. B. Hammond had a fine jewelry store and watch re­ pair. A dress making shop next door. Some of the barber shop operators were Rex Briggs, the Hawkins,' Fox Brothen, Chas. Warner, and George Firster. There was a saloon, Alderman's Meat Market, who was succeeded by Henry Mull, later by Mull & Eck­ hart, and one operated by John Barningham. Bar­ ber's dry goods store, ana next door south Lamb's Grocery which later moved across the street, after which Lamb's Hdwe & Implement Co. was estab­ lished in the old store. There were three drug stores, Hull's, Willet's and the Loveland Bros, wno were just getting started. Wm. Imes had a dry goods store and his wife a millinery shop, as did Mrs. Da­ vid Purchase. O. M. Folger had a produce and feed store, also sold implements as did A. K. Walker, Serol Powers, Ernest Granger and Cal Gehman. Mr. James and Chas. Fleming had a shoe store. Mr. Geo. Seitz had a shoe repair shop and Mr. John Downing ran an ice cream store. Mr. Kemp started a bakery followed by Elies Cole. Geo. McWha ran a pool room. Roy Lamb, Barber Bros, and Louie Lamb started the first auto agencies. Both hardware and implement dealers handled buggies, wagons,sleighs and cutters. Another development was North East of the Meth­ odist church. It contained two blacksmith shops, run by Amas Kidder and E. L. Jones, later both by Wm. Sherrard. Two wagon makers, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Don Hawkins, followed by Mr. Tom Gifion. Herman Zemke operated a feed mill, later by Fred Benedict, then Frank Beck. Elmer Hammond ran a livery stable. There was also a livery stable and skating rink on East First street. Mr. Dorman's blacksmith shop was on East Second street, and a livery barn on West Second St. run at various • times by Mr. Kelly. Roy Lamb, Mr. Dean and Mel Bilderbeck. The livery stables also operated hacks to and from the railroad station carrying passen­ gers to and from the hotels. Mr. E. L. Jones built an addition to his blacksmith shop and started the fint auto repair garage, which is the building now owned by the village for storing their street equip­ ment. Mr. Jones was followed by Karl Weiler, Geo. Knowles. Allie Carr. Kenneth Miles and Lynn Grant. Northeast of the town square a couple ot blocks was a brick yard, apple dryer and a crate milL Mr. Joe Beck operatea a cheese factory in the hollow just east of Mr. Rawson's house on East Main Street. After the arrival of the railroad in 1868 business development suited around the depot. The fint • elevator stood where the present one Rands which replaced the original after it was destroyed by fire. The Mme fire also destroyed Stebbins feed and flour mill which was just to the west. The now va­ cant lot north of the elevator was the location of many businesses. One was a furniture factory. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 19. 1987 whose boiler blew up killing one employee, the building being-destroyed in the ensuing fire, The factory was connected to a warehouse by an over­ head tramway, which was located on the railroad ‘just southwest of the factory. This warehouse was used after the fire, as a hay barn where hay buy­ ers collected the baled hay and loaded it out in box cars for shipment. John Rhodes was one of the old time buyers, as was Frank Lype and Cal Gehman. It was also used as an apple packing station where apples were bought and packed in barrels for shipment. The lot also contained a coopershop, just across from the lumber yard, where barrels were made for apple packing. There was also Mr. Browning's feed mill which burned. Mr. Fuller's saw mill occupied tlie old furniture factory site, until it was moved across South Main street just east from the elevator. Mr. Bodine also had his wood lot there. Mr. Barna Kelly had his home and dray barn on the same property from which he op­ erated a dray line, hauling the freight and U. S. mail to and from the depot and business district. 1 He was succeeded by Cliarles Park. Just west of the depot was the stock yards out of which live stock buyets operated. Wm. Hickey and the Powers Bros, buyers B ~ among others, buying enough stock each week to - usually fill three or four tour cars. cars The “ ground just south of the Depot was used for storage of logs, lumber and‘ sugar beets out by 1' ‘ which were snipped .. the car-load each fall and winter. There were three coal yards, operated by the Elevator, the Lumber Yards and Mr. Chas. Dorman. The cream ery was located just east and across the street from the elevator. Mr. Brown, Mr. Best and Wm. Moore were three of the butter makers. It's principal prod­ uct of course, was butter, which was shipped out by refrigerator car once each week. The Railroad Station was one of the busiest places in town. For a few years it was open 24 hours a day, other than that it was operated by either one or two men, the agent and the clerk. Incidentally, my father.Chas. A. Anderson came to Vermontville as the agent, he in turn followed by Glen D. Eddy, and several oth­ ers in later years. There were ten passenger trains each day, two local freights, two through mer­ chandise freights, two stock extras per week which carried nothing but livestock destined to Detroit and Buffalo, and an occasional extra to take care of the surplus traffic. The Lumber Yard, which was operated by Frank P. Town, later by Bowman &. 'Waring, then Elo Bowman, followed by Wilsons, is still where it al­ ways was although no longer used as such, being now used for farm implement storage. Just nortn of the lumber yard was Mr. Lackey's carpenter shop.,. There were other types of businesses operated from various parts of the town, such as Mr. Frank J. Baily and Mr. Frank Remalie who were sheet met­ al workers and tin smiths. They applied metal ceilings, steel roofs, eavestroughuig and other met­ al work and repair. A fine example of Mr. Bally's work is the ceiling in the Congregational church. Then there were teamsters who hauled gravel for the roads in the summer, ice for the ice houses and logs for the saw mills and for shipment in the winter. Also well men, pumpmen, windmill men, amongst whom were E J. Tyler, Mr. Ike Nortan • and John Gaut. Mr. Eugene Olin and Mr. Boardman operated an ice delivery in the summer. Mr. Milt Nortan operated a photograph gallery and racket store Henry and Moses Cross, the Lackeys, Leon Clapper, Fred Boyd, Ben Kline, Walter Boyles were carpenters. Mr. Morey and Silas Shepard were stone masons, Dan Snoke and Fred Hopper painters and paper hangen. There were fur buyers, and Mr. Herb Cross had a cider mill on the South West cor­ ner just south of the river bridge. Among others who did not own their own busi­ nesses, but spent their lives on Main street and were certainly an important pan of the town, and highly respected and as much a part of the institu­ tions in which they worked were Frank Ambrose with Barber Dry Goods Store, M. L. Stiles and Pitt Pugh with Barber Hardware Store. We cannot finish this paper, nor must we forget to mention Jennie Manin, who was the daughter of Henry J. Manin and granddaughter of Wells R. Manin, one of the original colonists. In addition to running a successful insurance agency and being the Congregational Church organist, more than that she was a music teacher. An untold number of young people of this community received their mu­ sic education from her. several going on to very . successful music careers. She was held in great esteem and affection by all who knew her and she surely was an intregal part of this town her entire ■ lifetime.

CM �FROM EATON QQUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT Qualified to administer breath test for drinking drivers If you're arrested for drunk driving in Eaton County, there's a good —J chance ------- "--------you will “* find’ out * what the Breathal ~—-L_lyzer is all about. According to Ei ~ . Smith, Merlin Anderson, Deputy Sheriff has just completed a one-week Breathalyzer training pro­ gram at Michigan State University's Highway Traf­ fic Safety Center and is now fully qualified to ad­ minister the breath test to persons arrested for drunk driving. On November 2 of this year, Michigan's new " implied consent" law goes into effect. Simply stated, this means that a driver has given his con­ sent to take a chemical test for alcohol if arrested for driving while under the influence of intoxicat­ ing liquor. Refusal to take a chemical test could result in the automatic suspension or revocation of the driver’s license. William E. Barber, couue director at the High­ way Traffic Safety Center, said that the success­ ful completion of classroom and laboratory course work by Deputy Merlin Anderson has given Eaton County the capability of effectively enforcing the law against drunk drivers. Barber also complimented Eaton County for being one of the first communities to train its of­ ficers to take action against the driver, who by his excessive drinking, shows little regard for other drivers and pedestrians. The three most common chemical tests for al­ cohol now being given analyze the driver's blood, breath or urine. However, the new law states that a driver has the option to demand that only a breath test be given. The test findings are admissable as court evidence and could work either for or against the defendant depending upon the test results. Since it is assumed that a high percentage of drunk driving suspects will demand the breath, test, it is essential that Breathalyzer test instru­ ments and qualified police operaton be available throughout the state. To meet this need, the Michigan Law Enforce-> ment Officer's Training Council, the Michigan Department of Health, Department of State Pol­ ice and MSU's Highway Traffic Safety Center have teamed together to conduct a mammoth training program in East Lansing. Sheriff Smith also states that Deputy Alan Cleeves is now attending school and tnat three other deputies will also attend the school givin the Sheriff’* Department five men in all wno will be qualified to give the Breathalyzer tests. On Jury duty The jury for the October term in Eaton County lists the following from the Vermontville area.

O'Brien said that the conviction of Southern Classified Direc­ tory Co., of Atlanta, Ga., was an " important break in our drive to protect businessmen from solicitations sent through the mails by fraudulent business directory companies." Found guilty on September 22 of defrauding businessmen and others listed in the Yellow Pages of telephone directories were Southern Directory's two promoters, William O. Hudgens, 40, and Mrs. Marion E. Bishop, 55, both of Azusa, Calif. They were convicted on eight counts in a jury trial before U. S. District Judge Newell Edenfield in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. O'Brien said that Southern Classified Direc­ tory's operation is similar to those conducted by a number of other so-called directory companies operating in the United States. Postal Inspectors have 34 such companies under investigation, with the findings in four of these cases already in the hands of u. S. Attorneys. Postal Inspectors found that Southern Directory, whose local "office" consisted only of a post of­ fice box in Atlanta, mailed approximately 1 mil­ lion solicitations in 1964, io first year of opera­ tion, to businesses, large and small, hospitals. Plan for area World Community Day,Nov. 2 Plans are under way for World Community Day in this area on November 2, sponsored by United Church Women, announced Mn. Theodore Stevens, the chairmaa The annual inter-denominational, county-wide event will be held on Thursday, November 2, at Leason-Sharpe Hall of First Presbyterian Church, Hastings. The women will meet at 12:30 pm for a cooperative luncheon. (Bring table service and one dish to pass. ) Nursery care for small children will be available. The speaker will be Mr. Russell Hartzler, direc­ tor of CROP in Michigaa He will show, along with his talk, slides of his recent trip to Africa giving actual examples of Share-a-Loaf funds in use. Bar­ ry County is currently taking part in a plan for wider public participation in the CROP campaign to feed the hungry. Share-a-Loaf cards were mail­ ed to every home in the Lakewood, Ionia, Has­ tings and Delton areas early in the summer and will be collected at Thanksgiving time. Mr. Hartzler's vivid portrayal of the spectre of world hunger and what it means to Christians will thus be most timeiy. Also at this meeting the sewing projects for World Community Day will be brought ia They are: layettes and Asian children's garments or $3.00 gift certificates for your choice of a blanket, school kit or 5 yards of fabric for Viet Nam. Those planning World Community Day emphacize that anyone who wishes to come at 1:30 pm for the program only will be most welcome to do so. churches, doctors, attorneys and other groups listed in the Yellow Pages of telephone director­ ies. While the company actually printed a direc­ tory, only 3,971 copies were distributed over the entire southeast, one copy being sent to each businessman paying $45 for a listing. The Direc­ tory had little of no advertising value, according to the indictment upon which they were tried. "In the past it has been difficult to convict such promoters," said the Chief of the Postal Inspection Service, H. B. Montague, "partly because the misrepresentations are made by inference and in­ nuendo." In Atlanta, however, the jury fouhd the pro­ moters guilty of fraudulently claiming: --That the Southern Directory Co. -.-perated a directory company at Atlanta. --That Southern Directory Co. would get re­ sults for advertisers by distributing its directory to a sufficient numbers of individuals and busi­ nesses. --That Southern Classified Directory offered subscribers greater advantages than if they ad­ vertised in many separate directories. On the basis of the indictment, the promoters were also found guilty of sending solicitations to firms listed in the Yellow Pages, copying accurate­ ly the listing in the classified sections as to make it appear that the mailing was from the telephone company. Post Office Department investigations indicate that the fraudulent directory company generally charge fees ranging from $35 to $85 a luting. They ap­ pear to flourish if they can snare only a few list­ ings per 1,000 solicitations. Mr. Montague said, "the overworked or care­ less businessman is usually tricked into thinking such an invoice must be paid. In a series of 400 interviews with business and professional men, an Inspector found that in every instance payment had been made in the belief that it was for listings previously ordered in Yellow Pages or similar legitimate directories." Three injured in 2-car accident Three Battle Creek persons were taken to Pen­ nock Hospital in Hastings Spnday afternoon fol­ lowing a two-car accident on M-66 at the Pearl street intersection in Nashville. Receiving first aid and then released were Alton Wehrs, 39 and his wife, Janet, 40, and their son Peter, 9. The accident occurred when the Wehrs' car, driven by Mr. Wehrs, failed to negotiate the curve at the south end of Main street ana struck a car driven by John Allen, 55, of Ionia. Neither Allen nor his wife, Dorothy, 55, were injured. Wehrs was ticketed for failure to yield. Barry County and State police officers covered the ac­ cident. - Is junior member Announce new dump hours The city dump of East Casgrove will be open week days from 4:00 in the afternoon until 8:00 in the evening.

His visit to the park brought out many little friends to greet him and to see his hone, Thunder go through her tricks. It will be an afternoon long remembered by the youngsters in the community. --News Photo �BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton Well, Buck Barry came to town last Saturday and everyone seems to have had a good time, including the horse, Thunder. Thunder actually seemed to get a big charge out of walking around and letting the kids pat her nose. Buck said that the crowd here was one of the best he has had all summer. You can bet your nata and spurs that it had to be one of the most vocal crowds he had. Buck immediately enlisted the aid of the kids on his singing and got them to supply the "yippies and yahoos'" that must go along with cowboy-type songs. This softened the group more than some and from there on Buck could make them do most anything. To be quite frank, I have never been a big fan of old Buck’s! This is not because 1 have any­ thing against cowboys in general or Buck in par­ ticular, but only because I never seem to be watching a television set when he is on. Buck's appearance here on Saturday has changed that though. I became a fan during his show in the park and from now on, 1 will make it a point to be home or at least near a television set when Buck Barry time comes a­ round. Buck’s fans are loyal and I intend to stick with them. The big thing that Buck has going for him seems to be the same thing that Peter Pan had going for him. Buck seems to have retained a lot of the kid's outlook on life. He gets through to the kids not by talking down to them but by putting himself among them at least in spirit. He is doing what most of us would like to do - that is, living a fantasy and at the same time is making a living from the fan­ tasy. It would appear that this is a most enjoyable way to make a living. I'm sure Buck thinks it is an enjoyable way to make a living because he seems to enjoy himself while he is entertaining the kids. It is obvious, also, that he thoroughly likes kids. He keys his humor to their level and the few asides directed at the adult audience never took precedence over his remarks directed to his real audience - the kids. Buck stayed in the park until he had given each of the kids an autographed picture and had grasped each little hand in greeting. His loyal fans won't forget that for a long time. I hope the next time he comes to Nashville, he lets me feed Thunder a carrot. i News Pli^|5s Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

"Most com picking accidents are caused by the operator trying to unclog the picker while it is running, * Jim said. "So the safety rule is obvious: 'Never attempt to unclog a machine while it is in motion. The Maple Valley FFA Chapter has joined the Safe Com Harvest Program aimed at increasing harvest-time safety. It is sponsored by the Farm and Industrial Equipment Institute ana the National Safety Council. "Tnat rule against unclogging a moving picker is true for any kind of work to be done on the ma­ chine -- oiling, greasing, or adjusting, " Jim said. "Always shut off the picker before you leave the tractor seat." If the picker is properly adjusted, there will be less clogging, Jim said. This means less grain will be lost in the field, so the yield will be high­ er. Picking in bad weather causes clogging, so it is better to wait for good weather. Jim also gave the following pointers: The machine should be checked, repaired and adjusted before the harvest begins. All shields should be securely in place. Trying to work too fast cuts the efficiency of the picking equipment and causes clogging. It is more difficult to control the machine if it is forced to work faster than it was designed to do. Keep shucks cleaned away from the exhaust manifold. Carry a fire extinguisher on the picker. A fire started in dry shucks could spread to the field and destroy the whole crop. Change off with another operator once or twice a day if possible. Wear snug-fitting clothes that have no loose sleeves that may become entangled in machinery.

NOVEMBER 2, �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Hank Woudstra swears that the following story is true, and I would tend to believe anything he has to say so long as it isn't a story about his golf game. Henry says he knows of some folks who have a big dog who learned that he could get in the bouse by standing on his hind legs and placing a front paw against the door-bell Dutton. For some time the dog let the family know in that manner that he wanted in. Then, one night the bell rang and the man of the house went to let the dog in - but it wasn't the dog who came in - it was the cat! This fel­ low insists that the cat found out about the dog's ability to ring the bell and now when she wants to get in, she gets the dog to ring the bell for her. She is not tall enough to reach the bell herself. As silly as it seems to some, many people believe that animals do make deals between themselves. There might be something to it, too. When I was young (or, at least, younger) we had a family cat wno was not used to being bullied by dogs. The people next door acquired an airedale dog name of Cal who originally thought he could bully the entire neighborhood. He barked at and bit enough of the folks of the neighborhood that the others gave him a wide birth Indeed. Old Cal would walk leisurely across the street, bite some unsuspecting person on the leg and then amble back to his own front porch to await a new victim. Cal had not gotten around to biting a member of my family on the leg yet when he discovered our old, and somewhat irascible cat, sunning herself on the front sidewalk. As I said, the cat was old at the time and a bit deaf, so she didn't hear the panting of the dog and the clatter of his toenails as he bore down upon her. She discovered the doom just as it was about to strike and she didn't have time to work out a battle plan, so she started a tactical retreat. Just about the time the cat was running up the front walk to the relative safety of the front porch, my old great-aunt, who was really deaf, (deaf as a post, everyone said) opened the door to see what kind of a day it was. So far as she was concerned, it was a wild day. When Aunt Mart opened the door, the cat scooted through, no doubt thinking that the kind old lady was offering her refuge. Cal was not one to wait to be invited in. He followed the cat at full tilt, and came very near tilting Great-Aunt Martha. Because the poor old lady could not hear the commotion that accompanied the chase, she was not even locking down and knew only that something, probably a small hurricane had almost swept her off her feet. By the time Aunt Mart had turned around to see what indeed had swept past her, the chase had pro­ ceeded through the living room, into the dining room and into the kitchen, where the cat doubt­ less felt there was sanctuary. by John boughton The sure-footed cat pussy-footed, but fast through the kitchen and to the protective cover of my mother's skirts. Mother was at the kitchen sink doing something with pots and pans. I'm not sure just what she was doing. I always tried to divorce myself from any of tne witchcraft having to do with pots and pans and kitchen sinks. The cat negotiated the kitchen in fine shape but the dog did not get past the first row of floor tiles before he knew he was in deep trouble. The floor was slippery and even immediate setting of his brakes did not appreciably slow Cal s progress across the kitchen. His feet were actually going backwards and he was still doing a near-record speed in the other direction when he came headon into my mother's legs.He bounced off Mother and his forward progress skidded him, now on his side, against the wall. Cal made the mistake of hitting the wall just where the cat was crouching, thus pinning the cat against the wall with him. Mother, thinking some maniac was after her, threw the pots and pans in the air, screamed, and made an attempt to leave the kitchen. The traction was not too good, though, and she went down in a heap and a clatter of pots and pans on top of the poor dog, who by this time had no doubt taken a long second thought about chasing cats. The clatter of pans, the screaming of Mother, the anguished howls of the dog and the general lack of peace and quiet so upset the cat and jangled ner nerves that her jungle instincts cata­ pulted her on to the head of Cal, where she start­ ed to sharpen her claws on his ears in an attempt to have them ready in case of a battle. Cal started for the front door, but the traction was no better for him than it had been on the way in, or than it was for Mother. He spent some time running but going nowhere. During this period, the cat seemed to get into the spirit of the fun and continued to work on poor Cal's ears. By the time Cal finally made it to the front door, with the cat still on his head, Aunt Mart was still standing there, still with the door open, trying to figure out what it was that went past her in such a rush. She hadn't yet decided when it went past again in the other direction! The cat jumped off at the front step* and sat down to leisurely take a bath. She appeared tired of the whole silly game. Cats are like that. They can go along with the ridiculously noisy and roudy sport mat dogs and humans engage in, for only brief periods of time. Cats seem to be a peaceful group by nature and after the immediate joy of winning at a competitive sport, they be­ come jaded with the activity and go back to at­ tending to their personal cleanliness and to medi­ tating. Cats meditate a lot. Cal was found by his master, who drove a Plymouth roadster that had a rumble seat, seven blocks away and still going. He was returned with a great deal of reluctance (on the part of the dog) to the neighborhood. From that day on Cal treated our family dif­ ferently from any other around there. He had the utmost respect for our privacy and the only physical contact he had with a member of the family was to meekly allow one of us to pat him on the head. I am sure he.and the cat worked out an agree­ ment by which he never violated the sanctuary of our yard. "He wouldn't even chase a strange cat over the boundary. By the agreement, our old cat seemed to have tne freedom of Cal's yard (after all. Cal was convinced she had won the war) and the absolute dominion over the sidewalk immediately in front of our house. This was the cat's favorite sunning spot and when the cat occupied the walk, Cal was careful to detour far out into the street so as not to upset the feline or to disturb her routine. Dog* are better than people in at least one res­ pect. When they make an agreement, they stick to it - particularly if there is the prospect of another painful and frightening reprisal in view! Cal never violated the agreement and while the milkman, mailman, paperboy, friends of the family and numerous casual acquaintances and even several absolute strangers suffered at the hands (or to put it more exactly - the teeth) of Cal, uno member of our family group ever got so much as a growl or a show of anything but respect and affection out of him.

Gibson Sunday wiU mark a happy occasion at the Nash­ ville Evangelical United Brethren Church as the congregation has the pleasure of honoring the Rev. Mr. Clyde C. Gibson by granting him tne office of ' Pastor Emeritus." Although Pastor Gibson "retired" ten years ago after fifty yean in the active ministry, he remains active, presently preaching twice a Sunday for another minister who is hospitalized. During the fifty yean of his ministry, he served as pastor, conference superintendent, conference financial secretary, delegate to General Conference, and a variety of other important positions of leader­ ship. Just last year he was honored for the second time as "Man of the Year" by the Thornapple Post of the VFW. The Nashville church is especially indebted to the Reverend Mr. Gibson for his two terms as pas­ tor here. He was fint stationed in NashvUle from 1909 to 1912. On October 3, 1911, he married one of his parishioners, Ruth Feighner. He was reassigned to NashviUe from 1955 to 1957. Under his able leadership, the congregation planned and began the addition to its bunding. In retirement, he nas continued to assist his church in many ca­ pacities. Art Group to moot ot Hoorn or School Those interested in meeting together as an Art Group are asked to meet Monday evening, Novem­ ber 6 at 7:00 pm. The meeting will be held at the Hosmer School building, 2 miles north of Nashville, on M-6& The building is located just north of State' Road, on M-66, and though it is not being used as a school, might be available to the group for use as a meeting place. Some members of this group have been meet­ ing at the home of Mb. Eunice Priddy in Nash­ viUe because other facilities had not yet been found. Should this building prove satisfactory to the group, it would be approximately an equal distance for both the Vermontville and the Nash­ viUe people who might wish to join the group. It is particularly important for as many persons to attend this meeting so some details could be worked out, as to meeting place, meeting night, activities they might wish to do, the availability of a teacher if this is desired, and other details. It is also particularly desirable that both com­ munities be represented for together a large enough group could be formed so some activity could take place.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION NURSES NEEDED "About 100 nurses are needed, right now, at Spar­ row Hospital, " notes Roger Busfield, associate di­ rector of the Michigan Hospital Association. Sparrow is a 465 bed hospital in Lansing. Its cry for registered nurses is echoed throughout the state. Urban and rural, large and small, many hospitals in Michigan are feeling the pinch of the R, N. short­ age. . William Bresler, business manager of the Michi­ gan Nurses Association, says, "It's not so much a shortage of registered nurses as it is a shortage of working registered nurses. * So many nurses have left the profession that there are just not enough to satisfy the demand, he points out Young, graduate nurses are soon lost to marriage and family. Many who return to nursing do not re­ turn to general duty in hospitals. Instead, they en­ ter private, industrial or school practice. The pay is better and the hours more stable. The nurses association and the Michigan Employ­ ment Security Commission have set up five-week refresher courses for ” retired" registered nurse, hop­ ing to attract those who have raised their families back into the general duty field. The course runs eight hours a day, five days a week and combines classroom instruction with hos­ pital duties. There is no tuition and a small stipend is paid to those who qualify. Legally, any register­ ed nurse who stays registered with the . state can practice nursing without taking a refresher course no matter how many year* she has been away from the profession. However, most nurses returning af­ ter long absences want to be brought up to date, Bresler said. Economic security of nurses is also undergoing a change, Bresler says. It wasn't until February of this year that nurses were brought under the Federal WANTED! Minimum Wage & Hour Act. Until that time, some hospitals didn’t pay overtime, he maintains, a 1 though policies varied from hospital to hospitaL Wages are just now beginning to reflect the years of education and training required, Bresler main­ tains. Busfield, reflecting hospital views, feels that nurses' wages are generally in line with other skill­ ed professions. He agrees there are too many ex­ ceptions where pay is still low. He points to a re­ cent survey published by the hospital assocation which lists the "average starting monthly salary" for general duty nurses in Michigan at $410, up from $390 in 1965. Maximum salary for general duty is averaged at $481 monthly. Bedside nursing has become the job of nurses' aide* and practical nurses, while registered nurses are now bookkeepers. Busfield and Bresler stress this is undesirable. Although both men agree that R. N. '* are trying to correct the situation, they do not agree with . what caused the trend Busfield feels that the nurses, by constantly up­ grading their profession, "upgraded" themselves into keeping records and leaving routine nursing tasks to those less qualified. Bresler maintains that "it just kind of happened." Nunes were always held responsibleTor patient rec­ ords. he says. As "red tape" increased in hospitals, nurse* were assigned more of the paper work. "It just grew like Topsy, * he Mid. There are three ways to become an RN in Michi§an. Some community college* offer an associate egree in a two-year program. A three-year program is offered by many hospi­ tal*. Instruction take* place in hospital classrooms and students pay tuition the Mme as college stu­ dents. A four-year college program leads to a Bachelor of Nuning Science. Graduates of ail three programs must pass state exams to become licensed. Higher pay and more respect for professional a­ bilities must be apparent, say* Bresler, before the current shortage of nurses improves.

A ser­ ies of world catastrophies in late 1966 and in 1967 completely used up their blanket supply. Before a backlog of blankets could be built up, new disasters struck--and they keep striking. In such times, blan­ kets are used as a garment, as a temporary tent, as a stretcher, as well as a cover when sleeping. Good clean used blankets and 25$ for processing each one are wanted. A new blanket, wheq pur­ chased in quantity by Church World Service, costs only $3. 00. Funes for new blankets may be brought with your church's used clothing collection to the Church World Service clothing pick-up in Decern bet; or may be mailed to Box 220, Elkhart, Indiana 46514; or to Michigan CROP, Box 206, Lansing, Michigan, 48901. Checks should be marked "for blankets. " Mrs. Carl Wheeler, Church World Service chair­ man for Church Women United in the Hastings area, has announced that clothing and blankets collected in each local church are to be brought to the Wood­ land church of the Brethren parsonage garage, 7310 Coats Grove Road, by December 20.

Fajtball Banquet planned Dear Parent: This year the Football Banquet will be held in the High School cafeteria bn Tuesday, November 21 at 6:45 p. m. All boys that have participated in football this year, cheerleaders, managen, coaches, faculty­ members, school board members, parents, and all sports-minded people are eligible to attend. All football awards will be given out at this time, so it is important for your son or daughter to attend. Films of the Caledonia, Portland, Hamilton, and Middleville will be shown. The banquet will be potluck style with milk and coffee being furnished. Please bring table service, meat dish and two dishes to pass. In order to make this as nearly a planned potluck as possible, please fill but the bottom portion and return it to the high school office no later than November 14.

Baby dogs need a lot of love and attention. He got here early in the morning and immediate­ ly latcned on to Amy. Babies seem to know moth­ ers and know they are protectors. When Amy sat down for a cup of coffee in front of the fireplace the little dog sat on her lap. When she was working in the kitchen he stayed right under her feet. Our cat Charlie, who is twice the size of the dog, was a good host Charlie didn't even get upset when the little fellow barked and when the little dog walked up to him one time. Old Charles just rubbed his head against the dog's head and walked off. The dog sat on my lap all through the football game and then cudrued up to Charlie and took a nap. He seemed real content here, but he was happy to see Becky when she came to take him home. One forgets how it is to have a baby around the house, even a baby dog. I sure hope the weather we have been having the past week or so is not an indication of what we can expect for the rest of the winter. It looks as if we ' will have a white Thanksgiving this year. I sometimes wonder about the morals of those folks who seem to get so steamed up about the mor­ als of others. A politician carries on about getting more morals into government and then he publishes a telegram sent to someone else, but which be re­ ceived by accident. Another politician who talks a lot about morals condoned the act. The Grand Rapids police, worried about the mor­ als of their citizens plant women on the streets pre­ tending they are prostitutues. When the women at­ tract a man the man is thrown in jail. Hardly a mor­ al way to attack a problem of morals. The excuse that the politicians and the police give for using these less than moral means is that all is fair in love and war and that the end justifies the means. This is balderdash. There are rules for both love and war, and there should be rules of conduct for politics and police too. The end seldom justi­ fies the means if the means is not on the up and up. If, in order to get someone to accept our moral code we have to do something contrary to that code, then it seems we have lost the battle before we start. It is a funny world where people seem to think that lying, cheating and stealing are all right if it means you win the game. The big thing is to win. A meeting was held Monday evening at the for­ mer Hosmer schoolhouse on M-66, north of Nash­ ville. The meeting was attended by a group of per­ sons interested in meeting together as an art group and also by a group of citizens representing those who own the building. The purpose of the meeting was to determine if the building could be used by the group for a meet­ ing place, where they could continue In their an interests. The location of the building, the beating and lighting problems involved and the use of it during winter months all were points under discus­ sion by those present. During the meeting, it was mentioned that Super­ intendent Carroll Wolff had indicated that the group would be able to use the facilities available at the Maple Valley High School and meet there. This suggestion was very agreeable to the group and they felt the location between the two communities would make it easier for more people to attend the meeting. For the past several weeks, some members of the group had met on Monday evenings at the home of Mrs. Eunice Priddy. At the present time, the work­ shop-type meeting will be continued and anyone interested in attending should feel welcome. Mrs. Eunice Priddy will be in charge of the meeting for the present time. When enough people indicate an interest, further details could ne worked out for classes if it appears desirable. Wesley Curtis appeared as chairman of the group at the old Hosmer school building. He said the building had been bought and maintained by a small group of citizens in that area and could be used for community meetings. The fact that this group of people bought the building and have kept it up and open for use by members of their neigh­ borhood is certainly to be commended. The group expressed their thanks for the cooperation received by them. The meeting will be held on Monday evening, November 13 from 7 to 9, in the Art Room at the Maple Valley High School building. In the D ug-out.... The an work on display at this time in the Dug­ Out building on Main Street in Nashville belongs to three persons. Mrs. Margaret Swiger and Mrs. Jerry Nagle, both of Nashville, and Mrs. Lois Myers of Vermontville all have paintings on exhibit there. Mu.

H&ADUGHT$ REVEAL THE ROM) AHEAD - DO NOT Rriitg’pm harii AUVE1 THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9 1907 �ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION RECOVERY, INC. Fifty mental patients were waiting to see Dr. Ab­ raham A. Low, a psychiatrist, as he walked through the doors of the University of Illinois Medical school Realizing that he could not possibly give an hour to each one, Dr. Low conceived the idea of helping them in a group. That was in 1937. Shortly thereafter. Dr. Low realized that patients who have largely recovered from their psychosis can be helpful to others who have been dismissed from mental hospitals but still get upset and frightened. He founded Recovery, In­ corporated. a "club* composed of laymen who have largely or completely recovered from their mental problems and who aid others in need of help Thirty years later Recovery, Inc. has a member­ ship of over 10,000 and has helped many thousands more overcome their mental problems. There are 167 chapters in Michigan alone; 36 states and three Canadian provinces have local chapters. It is a self-help organization of people whose ex­ treme nervousness interferes with their lives. For some it's a means of recuperating from a nervous breakdown. Members meet regularly in small open meetings with the reading of a chapter from Dr. Low's book, "Mental Health Through Will Training',', followed by panel discussions. Members relate per­ sonal experiences, report how Recovery helped them handle their difficulties. First names only are used unless the person wishes to reveal his last name. Anger is always at the root of nervous upsets, ac­ cording to Recovery philosophy. Either the nervous person is angry at someone ne feels is wrong or hr is angry with himself for failing to live up to his own expectations. In Recovery members learn to value their mental health over the symbolic victories they might win if they bristled at every small an­ noyance. Instead, they remind themselves that there is no right or wrong in a triviality. Because they are laymen, members make no at­ tempt to counsel each other on major crises or give advice. They merely give examples of bow they have practiced the Recovery Method in facing and handling specific difficulties. One of the goals of Recovery members is to de­ velop a sense of humor. Part of their problem is taking trifling matters too seriously. They learn to laugh together about things that would have sent ety is a non-sectarian, non profit organization. Be­ fore Dr. Low'• death in 1964 a national headquar­ ter wat tet up in Chicago. A small paid staff oper­ ates at 116 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago. Illinois, but all other Recovery .leaders are volunteers and re­ ceive no pay. The organization is self-supporting through voluntary contributions, memberships and income from the sale of literature and records. MORE DOCTORS A small but important step was taken this fall in solving the nation's doctor shortage. Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine was one of five new medical schools admitting students for ca­ reers in medicine. Some of the existing 94 medical schools are in­ creasing their enrollments. The result is an increase of first-year medical students to an estimated 9,280 compared with 8, 964 last year. The new schools sbouTcTbe fully operative by the mid 1970's and be graduating an additional 1,000 medical students annually. US medical schools will then gradaute about 10,000 students per year. The shortage of physicians in Michigan is felt in many communities. The immediate needs are 300 additional docton per year. Michigan currently has three docton for every 2,000 people, one of the highest doctor-to-population ratios in the nation. It is beginning to show an alarming change. MSU's new facility is now categorized as "two year" school In program is considered a "continu­ ous six-year experience," with "medical school" training starting in the fourth year after three yean of undergraduate work. The school is aiming tor an enrollment of 64 students per class and is complet­ ing plans for an 611. P million Life Sciences Build^ayne State Univenity's medical school is also expanding under the new "medical complex* plan­ ned for the univenity. University of Michigan med­ ical school, already die largest In the nation, has filed detailed expansion plans with the state board of education and the legislature. ™ JJollars Between the halves of the Caledonia-Maple Val­ ley football game Friday evening at the Fuller street athletic field, the president of the Nashville Lions club.

Vormontv Ills Mr. Russel1 Hartzler, director of Michigan CROP, who spoke at the ‘ -World - - ■ Community -Day observance in Hastings on Thursday, November 2, gave the om­ inous report that world famine is in its beginning stages now, and that this coupled with the popula­ tion explosion is a time bomb more dangerous than the atomic bomb. Two thirds of the people of the world are hungry all the time. The Western world bad kept famine at arm's length so that the colored and poor peoples of the earth--"the backward" nations--are the only ones starving now. The West is only 15% of the world's population but have 85% of the material goods and want more and more. Their eyes must be opened to the desperate situation. The danger will be world anarchy if world hunger is not satisfied. " Everything under the sun seems to be opening up in new directions in our time, and I'm sure that the field of service for mankind is no less limited, "quo­ ted Mr. Hartzler. He showed slides taken during a trip to Africa in 1966. His pictures presented actual people (miss­ ionaries, teachers, doctors, relief workers) who had requested food supplies and were distributing it to the right people. Protein is the most needed, and the most favored sources are navy beans and dried milk. Multi Purpose food (a supplement), seeds, livestock, Gerber's High Protein cereal, cooking oil, rolled wheat, bulgar wheat, and hand soap are . also distributed by CROP. Food doesn't come from nowhere; it has to come from somewhere. His pictures of children and adults ill and dying from malnutrition gave emphasis to his plea that we give generously through the Share-a-loaf cards received ny mail or through churches and other groups. On the success of this campaign depends now many people will be fed and helped. The cam­ paign should come to a close around Thanksgiving time.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1967 10 Cents a Copy NUMBER 25 Resignation accepted from basketball coach Austin Zimmerman, varsity basketball coach who joined the Maple Valley teaching staff in Septem­ ber tendered his resignation to the board of educa­ tion Monday evening. It was accepted 6 to 1 by the board. Zimmerman, who came here from Tekonsha,told Supt. Carroll Wolff last Friday that he did not wish to coach unless he could have the gymnasium alone and schedule evening practices or practice be f o re school in the morning. It has been the custom that both the junior varsity and varsity use the gym a t the Mme time, since two full courts are available. Both Supt. Wolff and the principal, Forrest Rine­ hart, felt the gym adequate for both teams. They also felt that morning practice, which would mean starting about 6:30 a. m. didn't seem logical, fol­ lowed by the boys being in class all day. Further­ more, time had to be scheduled for the girls to use the gym also. Sunday evening about 8:30 p. m. Zimmerman phoned Rinehart to My he would not be coming in Monday to teach his classes. This meant consider­ able juggling of other teachers Monday to handle the approximate 125 students in Zimmerman's classes. This was done, and will be continued on a temporary basis. Also read at Monday night's board meeting was a letter from the executive committee of the Maple Valley Education Association in which it was stated they aid not approve of Zimmerman's action in not > honoring his contract. This was signed by the offi­ cers of the association, headed by Mrs. Hildred Pea­ body as president, and the building representatives from all the elementary as well as the junior-senior high school. Before action was taken by the board, they moved into an executive session at the request of board president, Reinhart Zemke. For the basketball season, which opens Tuesday, November 28, the varsity team will be coached by the athletic director, Wuliam Gibbs. His junior varsity coach will be taken over by Lenz, the 9th grade coach. Planning Committee to meet The Vermontville Planning committee will have a meeting on November 30, at the home of Mrs. Kenyon Peabody, 125 W. Main St., Vermontville. Tne speaker at this meeting will be Mr. FordCaeser, principal of High Street school, Lansing. H e will show colored slides on his trips to Vermont vil­ lages in connection with Vermontville's seeking to return to 'Pioneer Atmosphere'. Jiggs, the George Wilsons dog, seems little impressed with the blooming Christmas Cactus behind him. ___________________________ m. The cactus,. which is in bloom now even though______ we have a few more weeks to Christmas, has been around for some time. Mr. Wilson thinks the cactus is around a hundred years old. The dog, Jiggs, is no youngster himself. He is seventeen yean old and using tl the rule of seven to one - his human equivalent comes to close to 120. Jiggs grumbled just a bit aboi>ut having to get up from a nap to pose for the picture. --News Photo What can YOU do? What are YOU going to do to keep my daughter m school?" asks one mother of the Maple Valley high school. The answer finally reached by the high icnool principal Forrest Rinehart, who had had num­ erous talks with this particular girl was. "I'm goingto call the truant officer", which he did. This situation came following a discussion of dropouts at the Monday night meeting of the board of education held in the office of Supt. Carroll Wolff. The discussion followed the report of parent­ teacher conferences which comes at the end of each six week marking period. The elementary principal, Robert Steward report ed that slightly more than 82 percent of the Fuller sweet and Kellogg street school parents and 73-plus percent of the parents of the Maplewood school had been in for their first conference period this year. But the pity lies lie* in the fact that the parents of the pooler students. and the problem students, are not the ones who can be reached for the conferen­ ces. In fact, midway between each marking period the teachers send out reports on the students whose grades are low with the hope the parents will come m to talk over the situation. Very seldom does this occur. i? lady. The high school drop-our problem continues to mount each year. Two major factors seem to cause this--big wages which attract many students to drop out, and the apparent lack of cooperation at home in urging the students to complete their education. Recently a 17-year old girl toned her books on Rinehart's desk and said she was through witiychooL He talked to her for a long time but failed to con­ vince her she should graduate. But this story had a happier ending than many. A couple of days later she was back to ask how she could return to classes. "Once in a while we save one, * Mid Rinehart, " but not often enough. " While the drop-out record at Maple Valley is low­ er than in many schools, the administration feels that a closer relationship between the school and the parents would do much to improve the drop-out situation. In routine business Monday evening the board passed on bills totaling 119, 465. 21 and approved the transfer of three payroll accounts of more than 129, 000 each. Folding partitions and new lights in the Home Economics room at the high school were approved. A new ? truck has arrived, and the are going to build a box for the pickup. Consumers Power company was granted a right-of way across the front of the Fuller street school for a new gas line. This will replace one already in ex­ istence. the school facilities v s asked to pay overtime rates for custodians, and on cook’s on the 'home side' at the foot - ball games need to be improved, possibly by addi­ tional bleachers. This will be checked into and un­ doubtedly can be rectified by at least doubling the present seating capacity. Because of die lateness of the hour, the annual report for last year will be considered in a special session. A tentative date of Monday evening, No­ vember 27, was set up. An attempt has been made to give some indication of rising costs and salary changes over the past few yean. From this informa­ tion, Supt Wolff has worked on a tentative budget for next year. Much consideration will have to be given the amount of millage to be asked, aad the period of time the millage should cover. At the present time the valuation per student is the lowest this year of any time since consolidation. Each year more requests from student grow to sell various items to make money comes up sider1st ion. In the past, the administration a school board has attempted to discourage ths ing of new items, especially those the local mer­ chants stock. Selling programs which have been es­ tablished are still functioning. The Nonh Central meeting wi Haydon at the University of Mid Thursday of this week. Supt Wol p hart.

The Nashville Chamber of Commerce has made plans for their Christmas celebration and from the looks of the weather they did it just in time. At the last meeting of the Chamber they decid­ ed to invite Santa Claus to come to town a few times before Christmas. So Santa will be here for three Saturdays in a row to visit with his friends and 1 suppose to look the situation over. He has to know where people live, you know. He must have to check out to see if people have moved and all that stuff. Right after the Chamber meeting, ol' John Si- ' mon rushed right out and called the weather bu­ reau and ordered the snow which we are enjoying as this is written. John, who is a friend of Santa's Vermontville explained with a good deal of logic, that is Santa is going to be our guest we should supply him with snow. You can't argue with that, even with slush in your boots. To go right along with this thinking the Christ­ mas decoration committee has new decking for the streets this year. So let is snow. We are all set for Christmas. **** One of the town's leaders was in the other day with the suggestion that perhaps the folks in town could all get together on a community project that would be fun for all and at the same time would bring the people of the village closer together. He suggested a dramatic group, or a club or what you may call it, to put on a play or an operetta. Sounds like fun... What say you? Football Banquot planned ^hawkins Sunday Mr. and Mrs. James Hewelett of Big Rap­ ids, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Bartholomew of Mecosta were at Mrs. Nagle's. Mr. and Mb.

Andrews attended Mrs. Mae Bos­ worth's birthday party Sunday at the home of Mayor Village to have new Christmas decorations The Nashville village council met in regular ses­ sion Thursday evening. Bills touting $3, 927. 09 were okayed and the various committee chairmen made their reports. • » The remainder of the time was concentrated on a long list which included everything from Christ­ mas decorations to storm sewers. Inasmuch as the fiscal year is two-thirds gone, they carefully check­ ed each section of the budget to learn whether or not they were keeping within the figure set for each specified purpose. Prohibiting any unforseen catas­ trophe the budget appears okay in practically all of the areas at this time. The Christmas decorations, including new ones in the amount of over $500 purchased by the Cham­ ber of Commerce, will go up the week before Thanksgiving. It was suggested that a couple of ad­ ditional street lights be installed in the south part of the village. For those residents who already have a driveway and wish to change its location, the cost will have to be uken care of by the property owner. In cases where there is no driveway, the village will pay half the cost. Other topics discussed were village streets, some of which are in need of new blacktopping; another water tower; storm sewers; whether or not to repair the police car or purchase a new one; the village dump, a report was made on a couple of properties which are to be condemmed (by the county) unless improvements are made concerning sewer condi­ tions. The owners of these properties have been notified. Village president James Rizor reported that Jack Green, a former resident who now lives in Florida, would like to sell his building on Cleveland street to the village for storage of tneir equipment. After discussing the matter the council decided against purchase of the property. Because of Thanksgiving falling on the next reg­ ular council night, the meeting will be postponed until November 30.

Babcock said that people have called tne fire number to ask for police assistance. He pointed out that this means more time in reporting the e­ mergency. Since the fire department is not in con­ tact with the sheriff department or the local police the caller must hang up and put in a new call to ‘ the proper agency.

Investigation completed on fish mortality in Thornapple River Several weeks ago the Michigan Water Resources Commission was called in to investigate the fish mortality in Thornapple river and in Tbomapple lake. The area more thoroughly checked included the drains tributary to the north branch of Thorn­ apple north of Potterville, the river near M-50, the river at Vermontville, at Nashville, the river be­ tween Nashville and Tbomapple lake, as well as the lake itself. The investigation was started after it was report­ ed there were dead fish in considerable numbers seen in these areas. At some points there were as many as 50 pike ranging in all sizes from finger­ lings to 24 inches. Other fish spotted were bull­ heads, suckers and perch. The entire shoreline at Tbomapple lake was checked by boat to determine the kill Where the Thomapple river enters the lake WRC staff m e m ben observed approxlmatelv 75 dead fish, the ma­ jority of which were suckers. These fish were lodged in a weed bed and sand bar at the mouth of the river at the east end of the lake. It is believed the suckers were washed into the lake. A few dead fish, or live fish acting listless were noted in a check proceeding upstream from the lake toward Nashville. What few industries are located in the upper reaches of the Thomapple river were checked. No discharges of toxic material could be found. In checking i fish kill of 11 pike in a stream tributary near Potterville, it was learned that the kill occurred immediately after a bean field had been aerial sprayed for Mexican beetle. In a summary, prepared by Chester Harvey, Dis­ trict Engineer of tne Grand Rapids branch of the De­ partment of Conservation, he stated that while the early information was scattered and sketchy and difficult to evaluate, the most logical cause of death was by agricultural chemicals which were powibly applied by airplane. Eventbough there may have been some herbicide control in the upper reaches, there was an equal amount in the H as tings area with no attendant fish distressv. Fish collected by the fish biologists were fo r warded to the game pathologist but no report has been received on their findings. In concluding his report Harvey exited that the fish mortality and long periods of distress and the behavior of the fish observed alive would indicate an extreme low level of toxicity but one in which the presence was felt over at least a two week per­ iod. Even though many of the backwater areas bad profuse algae and weed growths, distress and mor­ tality were noted in the flowing stream portion of the Tbomapple. Dissolved oxygen content was fair to good in areas where lethargic fish behavior was noted. This office does not have any previous rec­ ord of this type of problem or behavior in the sec­ tion of the stream involved. Mr. Harvey continued by saying, "Outside p( chemical spray, other land use and water use ap­ peared normal. While it may not be conclusively proven, it appears that spraying for insect control was the largest contributing factor in this investi­ gation. It u recommended that extra surveillance be put on this area during the coming year.

Postmaster Wilma F. DeCamp asked that all area residents keep their rural mail boxes clear of ice and snow so that die rural carriers will not be de­ layed in delivering the large volume of maiL The ovation given the 1966 special Christmas stamp was so overwhelming that the Postoffice De­ partment has issued essentially the same stamp this year as an encore. Postmaster DeCamp report­ ed. The 1967 venion will be bigger than last years and will include more of the "’Madonna and Child with Angels", painted in the 15th century by the Flemish artist Hans Memling. The masterpiece hangs in die National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The stamps are now on sale at postoffices. Postmaster DeCamp noted that the use of the special five cent stamp or any other five cent stamp on Christmas cards affords first class treat­ ment. That means the cards will be forwarded if the recipient has moved, or returned if there is no forwarding address so that mailing lists can be brought up to date. Third Class postage on cards does not provide that service. The Postmaster urged all area residents to shop and mail early and use ZIP Code in all addresses so that the avalanche of Christmas mail will be moved with the greatest efficiency.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION COURTSHIP PROBLEMS Michigan judges could be selected with a mini­ mum of political involvement under a "Michigan Plan" amendment to the 1963 State Constitution proposed by a citizens’ group. Patterned after the * Missouri Plan, " now used in 12 states, the proposal calls for judicial candidates to be nominated by a bi-partisan panel of lawyers and laymen . Such plans call for seven panel members: three attorneys appointed by the state bar association; three citizens appointed by the governor; and a judge who serves as chairman. When a vacancy oc­ curs on the bench, this panel screens possible re­ placements then puts forward a slate of three or more whom it considers the best qualified candi­ dates. The governor fills the position from the re­ commended slate. The appointed judge serves for three years. He is then required to stand for election on hu record on­ ly and without opposition. For example, voters in Missouri are confronted with this simple judicial ballot: "Shall Judge X of the Blank Court of Miss­ ouri be retained in office? YES, NO (scratch one)" Before each election, lawyers conduct a poll within their profession on the candidates' qualifi­ cation for retention. Results receive wide publicity in local news media. Newspapers also publish biog­ raphies, record of reversals, and conduct in office. Voters then decide whether to retain the judge on the basis of qualification and performance rather than popularity, political activity or a famous-last name. If retained by voters, the judge serves until he dies, retires or resigns. If voters do not approve his tenure, another slate of candidates is offered by the panel and another three-year appointment is made by the governor. Coupled with the proposal for bench selections is machinery for removing or disciplining judges for misconduct or malfeasance, in office. A commis­ sion is established to investigate complaints about the courts at all levels. Upon recommendation by the commission, the Supreme Court may hold a public hearing and remove a judge. Any attorney, public official, litigant or private citizen can report a judge for a disability or dere­ liction. If the commission staff finds that the com­ plaint has merit, it immediately investigates. Such a program has been working well in Cali­ fornia since I960. Called the Commission on Ju­ dicial Qualifications, the group there is composed of five judges, two laymen and two lawyers. In IV/nfer’s Coming — Gwl Heady! seven years of existence, the commission has in­ vestigated more than 400 complaints, induced 30 judges to resign or quietly retire and recommend one removal Resignations and retirements have strengthened the courts, but the power of investigation is also a prod and stimulus to judges to conduct themselves as the office demands. Michigan needs such a program as now exists in 1 Missouri and California, the citizens'group feels. Sponsored by the Michigan Citizens' Committee for Judicial Selection and Tenure, the League of Women Voters of Michigan, and the American Judicature Society, the group will attempt to ob­ tain 350, 000 signatures on petitions by next June to get the proposal before voters in the November, 1968, election. . At a.recent conference in Grand Rapids the citi­ zen's committee pointed out that all state judges except the Wayne County District Court Judge are elected by popular vote. Edward L. Cushman, conference chairman, said, "If we are going io attract the high quality of judges I know our state can produce, we have to assure our judicial candidates that they won't be knocked around like a political football every six or eight years." An editorial in the Kansas City Star sums up the Eroved benefits of such a plan: "A judge doesn't ave to borrow and spend money to conduct a cam paign. He is not forced to make political promises to men who control votes. He does not have to, ans­ wer to a political boss, nor does he need to accept campaign contributions from lawyers who will practice in his court. It is by far the best plan yet devised to keep the bench out of partisan cam­ paigns. " The citizens' committee said it will enlist" "maximum participation" by individual citizens and organizations throughout the state to support the enactment of the proposed constitutional a­ mendment.

In this issue: WINE COOKERY OLD WIVES TALES GAME WARDENS �IM] ERY long time ago, some unknown benefactor of the human race per­ formed a daring experiment in cooking which has made mealtime a happier occasion for many of us. He discovered cooking with wine. A by Pamela Howard The character of wine changes as it is subjected to heat. First, the alcohol, which has a low boiling point, passes off as a vapor. Then, the other elements of the wine undergo varying changes depending on whether the wine is merely heated, brought to a boil, or sizzled at a high temperature. There has been renewed interest in this matter of cooking with wine during the last few years. The enjoyment of good eating is a favorite mid-American sport and wine offers one of the simplest and most effec­ tive means of making good food taste differently better. Wine used in cooking is a flavoring. It also is a blender of flavors. It accents the savoriness of the food and lends both aroma and smooth­ ness. .

Maybe you are on the wrong diet! illbilly Granny Clampett isn’t such a far-fetched character. In fact, she is pretty realistic to those of us whose own grandmother or Aunt Maggie had a passion for healing and cur­ ing and nursing folks back to health. “It might be catchin’,” she would warn, and whether it was a cold or a pox, around your neck she would hang a muslin bag of asafetida that was supposed to make you breathe easier, cure your^ailment and keep others from its contagion. That it did Because the pungent aromatic odor kept everyone away, as did the onion poultice or goose grease for your chest cold. All of her cold remedies weren’t offensive, but hot and spicy and sweet. She was heavy handed with honey and sugar whether it was mixed with turpentine, kerosene or camphor. The house and everything in it would often become permeated with the steeping brew of catnip or peppermint tea. Elderberries and their blossoms joined in a remedy for “stummick ailment” and if that didn’t help, she made camomile tea brewed from a plant of the aster family. If this cure for some reason brought on “the trots,” she was not dismayed for she knew how to remedy that with blackberries, cooked down to a sticky concentrate and fermented, bottled and labeled “balsam.” Purple and potent. H Strategy and psychology were tools that put her a shout ahead of the latest whisper of modern medicine, which public­ ly disproves her cures and superstitions as fallacies. Like a gen­ eral in battle, if her tactics didn’t win the war on your sickness, ahe would give you a good strong physic to rid you of all the poison in your system. You might get a trifle weak and turn greeij, which in turn called for a tonic of sulphur and molasses in the spring and joy! — hard cider in the fall. It would have been more palatable cold than hot (mulled, she called it, re­ member?) and minus the red pepper. A little shaken from your ailment? Eat celery for your nerves; fish, especially sardines, for sharpening your mind; beets to redden your blood and cooked gruel to warm the cor­ puscles. Psychology ‘way back when? Did your father or Uncle George ever tell you about the blistered neck from having the nto the pores of your neck home doctor lovingly rub kerosene into and gently swathe them with red or <outing ‘ „ flannel ? As a counter-irritant, a coton swab on a stick dipped into kerosene swished down to your tonsils. No wonder folks got weD quick with .such killer cures. We now have ways and medicine to affect quick cures, prevent communicable diseases and make the patient comfortable — you must agree that they’re easier to live with than asafetida and other folk cures. We can be nostalgic, but what deodorants, anti-perspirants and mouth washes could erase the fact that you are sick? It’s a funny thing, our laughing at their methods because Four grandmother scoffed at the silly tarnations of their older generation. Imagine, they’d reminisce, “My grandpa wore cop­ per wire around his wrists and ankles and gold beads to ward eff rheumatiz’. Alfalfa tea, my ma’d fix for him.” Recipes for home remedies were handed down as were “re­ ceipts” for family delicacies.

This “matching” would show a court that the rifle harjc. been in the suspects’ car. And that is just what happened when the case was heard. Micro­ scopic markings in the shells and the gun were shown to match so A FAR CRY FROM "POPPLE COPS lights sweep the shoulder of the road, and then, they heard the echoing blast of a gun. “Let’s go!” one of them said; and together they ran to their car; and, with headlights off, they drove toward the automobile down the road. They were a quarter of a mile from the car, when it turned around suddenly and began to move away. "He must have spotted us,” the driver said, and with this he flickdd on his lights and tromped the accelerator down. The distance between the vehicles closed rapidly, and when it was only a few hundred feet, the driver of the rear automobile switched on a red light that blinked a flashing signal into the night "Instead of stopping, however, the car ahead darted suddenly away. “Hang on, he's going to run,” the driver of the red-blinking ve­ hicle said. He turned on a siren that wailed across the still night, and he reached for a radio hand mike that hung from the dashboard. The speed of the vehicles climbed to 80 miles an hour, then to 90, then to 100, and slowly the lead-car pulled away. The autemobiles hurtled through the darkness; and in the distance the lights of a town began to show. The radio messages that had flashed on ahead had done their job. and the chase ended on the edge of town where police cars had hazily set up a road block. The participants in the abruptly ended chase were two deer shiners and two conservation wardens. The wardens moved now to the car they had pursued and placed the occupants under arrest. They advised the arrested men of their rights under the law, and then took them to the county jail. The men denied shining deer, pointing out that they had no guns in their car. They were correct in that their vehicle contained no guns when it was stopped, but there were empty rifle cases and un­ fired rifle cartridges on the floor of it; and the two conservation wardens went to work to build their case. Back out the highway they drove, this time very slowly. Several miles out of town they found the shattered remains of a rifle beside the road. They picked up the pieces carefully, using handkerchiefs so that fingerprints would not be disturbed. Then they drove out to where the chase started. On the shoulder of the road, a large deer lay dead. It was a doe, and the wardens hoisted it into the trunk of their car and drove back to town. It was just beginning to get daylight, a faint hint of light put the spruce tops in silhouette. The wardens were tired. They had been up all night, and there would be only a few hours of sleep now before they would have to be down to the district attorney’s office to begin the long process of prosecution against the suspected deer shiners. And in this day of zealous protection of individual rights, the prosecution must be done right or the warden is left without a case. carefully packaged and marked all other items of evidence, includ- of bullet that they had cut out of the de precisely that there could be no doubt about them having been in contact ' * “Guilty,” the court said, and the deer shiners each paid heavy fines to avoid jail sentences. They also lost their fishing and hunting privileges for a year. As the wardens walked from the courtroom, one turned to the other and said, “I’ve got to give a gun safety demonstration for the junior rifle club tonight, but I’ll meet you after it’s over and we’ll work the northwest corner for a few hours.” “Fine,” his companioh replied, “I’ll have time before we go to check a couple of traplines.’’ The wardens went their separate ways, tending to the endless tasks that the modem conservation officer is faced with. A far-cry from the first “popple cops” who were solitary upholders of sketchy and often resented fish and game laws, the modem warden is a man of many talents. His conservation role has mushroomed until almost every element of the community looks to him for service and help at one time-or another, Though he is basically a lawman, he devotes an ever increasing amount of his time to public relations. The intent of this is to edu­ cate the public, particularly the young public, as to the importance of sound conservation -programs. These programs include growingr, complexity in fish and game laws, and it is the ambition of every warden to do all he can to prevent a law violation. “We would rather not have to make any arrests,” a top midwest warden said, “and we feel that our efforts to this end are really paying off. Every year we get more and more cooperation from the public. "People realize that with more and more demands being made on fish and game, laws must be designed to protect wildlife accord­ ing to species and habitat variations. "And they also realize that the violator of these laws is taking something away from them when he shoots illegal game or catches, fish in an unlawful manner. “It is the duty of every citizen to understand and obey conser­ vation laws, and most of them do so and resent the fellow who doesn’t” * . But despite the best efforts of conservation officials, there shall always remain the intentional violator. He is frequently a rough and ruthless individual, and the warden force records show countless instances of warden injury and even death when he is brought to bay by the badge. The wardens consider-such risks to be part of the job. Long, cold hours of watching and waiting are also part of the job. ° It was to do some of this uncomfortable watching and waiting that the two wardens stood again in the frigid, black night A car They watched it from behind a screen of road. Quietly the wardens eased up behind it where It had stopped and parked. There was a muffled conversation with the car’s occu­ pants, and then the wardens retreated to their car and drove away. "Well,” one of them said, “you cant tell the lovers from the deer shiners unless you talk to them." "That's right/' said the other, "How are we to know?” , �This is how a revolution begins. Quietly.

At this time, we join with the rest of our countrymen in humble thanksgiving for our American way of life, and we sincerely best wishes . extend to you and yours, our very NUMBER 26 �Committee continues study of pioneer village-look The Vermontville Planning committee continues in its search to find various ways and means to re­ turn the "pioneer atmosphere" of Old New England in the 1800's to this village. All of the New England villages had a "central green” around which the entire town seemed to re­ volve. This is true of Vermontville. The "square" was laid out by the early settlers from Vermont in 1836. They first built a Chapel on the northwest comer in 1843. On the Southwest comer the Con­ gregational church in 1862. By 1877 the Metho­ dist church was moved to the northeast corner, and the park forms the southeast comer. Both of the churches are the typical Vermont style with a square tower rising from the front of the church which housed the bell. November 18 is the target date for upwards of 500,000 sportsmen who are expected to be in Michigan’s hunting ranks for the state’s 1967 firearm deer season. As the countdown to the season starter begins, most of these hunters will invade the North County, stream­ ing upstate in zippy autos, old school buses, camper trucks — virtually everything on wheels. Roughing it in tents and trailers or setting up hunting headquarters in motels and out-of-the-way cabins, their good-time outings will be filled with coffee break bull sessions, lively card games, and — of course — hopes of downing trophy deer that can be proudly hoisted on the local meat pole. —Mich. Dept, of-Conservation BACKSTREET BAROMETER Two Indians meet in the woods, somewhere near Plymouth colony. "Hi there Mooseface, where to?” "Out of my way, you silly savage. I'm in a rush. I'm going to the party. " "Hey, now about that? Someone throwing ty. Going to do the latest war dance and all that stuff?" "No, stupid, this is the party the colonists are throwing for Thanksgiving. Didn't you get an in­ vitation?" "I’ll be darned if I know. My squaw won't let me open the mail since I got that perfumed letter from that cute little broad I met at the medi­ cine-man convention over in Chicago. Boy, was that a convention. We stomped Calumet City right into the ground. And now the Colonists are going to throw a party eh? This used to be a nice quiet neighborhood before those foreignen moved in. We should have stricter laws to keep that type out of the better neighborhoods. Now they are going to throw a party and keep everyone on the block up with all the noise and carrying on. When they first moved in they put on that act of being so quiet and churchy. Those are the worst kind. Who is going to be there?" "How do I know who is going to be there? The usual crowd I guess. * "Well, I don't know, I might come if I can ditch the squaw for a while. I'd hate to take her though. She is a real drag at a party, always keeping count of the number of glasses of cider I drink, and she watches me like a hawk when the Chief's cute lit­ tle secretary is anywhere around. For a foreign type she is not too bad. I can't stand that Alden guy though. Never could understand him the way be mumbles. * by john boughton "And that Standish character. Did you ever see the likes of him. He is a Hippie if I ever saw one, that long greasy hair and the moth eaten boots are a dead giveaway. I'll bet he smokes pot - or may­ be worse. " "You can bet your bottom wampum that those Colonists want something. They aren’t throwing this party just to be nice guys. You just watch, they will try to deal us out of some more of our land. They give us that poor mouth so they can knock the price down." . "I have a fine idea. Why don't we sell them that raunchy little island, you know, Manhattait That is a rotten place... You take your life in your hands every time you go out after dark. I swear those kooks who live there would mug a rattlesnake. " "I figure that if we could get a half a keg of rum and ten or twelve bucks for the place we would be taking advantage of the Colonists. Not that I mind taking advantage of them, mind you. " Til bet they have squash and nuts and a lot of fattening food. Those foreignen eat like it was go­ ing out of style." v'Say, who is your date for this affair? I sure hope you don't uke some old turkey and disgrace the whole Indian population. " "Maybe this will become an annual affair. 1 don’t mind sitting down and eating with them once a year. I don't want to associate with them every day though. They are all right in their place, but would you want your sister to marry one?" Adolph Douse just came back from the north with nice big buck on the back of his car. All day ng Monday I have seen can with deer on them. Among the early homes built in Vermontville are the OtisE. Mills residence, 176 East Main, built by Wait J. Squier in 1837; the Ava Kroger residence, 130 W. Main, built by Walter S. Fairfield in 1837 and the James Samann home, 145 W. Main, built by Simeon S. Church in 1838. Other early homes include the Philip H. Munn residence, 237 S. Main, built by Well R. Martin in 1847; the Homer M. Winegar residence, 350 N. Main, built by Roger W. Griswold in 1849; the Gerald Reed residence. 353 E. Main, built by ’ ’Hiram J. Mears in 1849; the Jennie and Carolyn Boyd residence, 313 E. Main, built by Mr. Clark in 1850; the Kenyon Peabody res­ idence, 125 W. Main, built by William U. Bene­ dict, 1850, and the Clifford Prescott residence, 316 E. Main, built by Semeon McCotter, 1851. It was typical for the early Vermont homes to be stenciled. Many with the same stencils found i n New Hampshire and southern New England. Also used were two different designs in an all-over pat­ tern of leaves and a flowering vine. Some showed the spread eagle with stars--one for each state. At the right and left of the eagle was a willow tree and above were single units of oak leaves in red and a single flower of new design, characteris­ tic of Vermont in red and green. The green upright pictured the familiar overturned buds, while the frieze repeated the favorite bells and loops stencil­ led on a gray background. The rest of the wall was unpaintea piaster. A soft green rose leaf border was above the baseboard. Venetian red in powdered form mixed with skimmed milk was a paint com­ monly applied both to bams and interior walls. Vermontville, with its village square and homes clustered around it, is attempting to eventually take on the "old" look in modem times while mak­ ing this community one of the most interesting in the area. Miss Esther Shepard is one who has spent consid­ erable time in checking out some of the "old" 1­ deas and studying the history of the village. She is being assisted by Mrs. Mary Hulbert. "We have some good pictures of Main street at the turn of the century, " says Miss Shepard, "loan­ ed to us by R. E. Viele, Mrs- John Rodriguez and her sister, and others. We've had a number of books on Vermont to make use of, thanks to Mn. Mildred Allen. Mb. Ira Spicer has written to a number of places in Vermont for information. She has had some answers, and is awaiting the rest. Thom Keith (the new president of the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival Corporation) is working on a photography area at his restaurant. ” If others nave pictures or can give information on the stores of many years ago, the dates, or own­ ers, the Planning Committee will appreciate your contacting them. The Planning Committee will hold its next meet­ ing November 30 at the home of Mr. and Mn. Ken­ yon Peabody. Ford Caeser of Lansing will show colored slides of his trips to Vermont villages.

' „ The employees of the Nashville Pon Office to­ day joined in an urgent appeal to the local mail­ ing community to plan their holiday shopping and mailing early this year. The Postoffice expects a record-breaking nine billion pieces of mail to be delivered across the country this Christmas and cooperation by the mail­ ing public in shopping and mailing early and the use of ZIP Codes will mean there is virtual assur­ ance that all holiday mail will be delivered on time. Postmaster Wilma F. DeCamp asked that all area residents keep their rural mail Boxes clear of ice and snow so that the rural carriers will not be de­ layed in delivering the large volume of mail. The ovation given the 1966 special Christmas stamp was so overwhelming that the Postoffice De­ partment has issued essentially the same stamp this year as an encore. Postmaster DeCamp report­ ed. The 1967 version will be bigger than last years and will include more of the ’’Madonna and Child with Angels", painted in the 15th century by the Flemish artist Hans Memling. The masterpiece bangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.G The stamps are now on sale at postoffices. Postmaster DeCamp noted that the use of the special five cent sump or any other five cent stamp on Christmas cards affords first clast treat­ ment. That means the cards will be forwarded if the recipient has moved, or returned if there is no forwarding address so that mailing lists can be brought up to date. Third Class postage on cards does not provide that service. The Postmaster urged all area residents to shop and mail early and use ZIP Code in all addresses so that the avalanche of Christmas mail will be moved with the greatest efficiency.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BIG BATTLE t Who will run the schools continues to shape to as a major issue. It must be dealt with in the near fu­ ture. The hassle at Northern Michigan University where some students and some faculty people refused to attend classes to demonstrate their objection to an ‘ administration decision is only one feather in a big wind of controversy. The "strike" dissipated in the face of an apparent not-so-empty threat from a leg­ islative committee to close down the university al­ together. Teachers' strikes at the local level made a seri ­ ous problem earlier this fait Those are settled now. But another fall is coming. The elimination of local school boards is the aim of one militant teacher union. According to Thom­ as Hill, Michigan Federation of Teachers, the lo­ cal boards serve no function and should be destroy­ ed. Since there is bound to be those who disagree violently with this concept, it is possible a battle can take place that will shake many communities to the roots. Parents and taxpayers might take new interest in the idea that the school system really belongs to them because it is their children who are being ed­ ucated and it is they who pay the bills. If th e y insist on expressing this concern and control through a local school board of elected representatives, they might resist to great degree the thought that any Bof employees should take over the responsi, of running the local school. Teacher organizations hold that they have the student’s interest at heart just as much as parents do; and that they are in the best position to know what will help students most. This may be true,but there are those who are concerned the teacherswill help themselves too much in the process. The record of some school boards supports the po­ sition the militant teachers take. Many have been slow to act; slow to modernize the system; certain­ ly slow to pay teachers salaries a community can be proud of. Some have been slow to demand teaching of a quality they can be proud of too. A more moderate position is taken by Michigan Education Association, an older, larger organiza­ tion than the Federation. MEA wants professional educators to have a good deal more control of the system, but not at the expense of eliminating the boards. The official MEA position is that their members will obey laws in their battles with school boards and others. The official position of MFT is that they will disregard laws which interfere with their goals. Success of teachers at the local level in recent strikes has not been lost on some college professors. It can be expected that some of these might decide the strike is the best way to win the points they think are justified. The issue may be resolved in the near future, but it will be live, hazardous and importent. If pres surer connected with the school issue can develop a more basic interest among the parents and tax­ payers, if the teachers are not too unreasonable or too adamant in their demands, it is possible a bet­ ter education will result for young people of the state. Michigan-produced wineiras rated best. There is much room for progress. Per capita con­ sumption of wine in Michigan has been increasing, but sales of Michigan-produced wine has not increased accordingly. So grape growers in southwest Michigan, where soil and climate conditions are right for the hybrid plants which produce the finest wines, are joining in this new campaign to increase acceptance of their product. Municipal emptoyees hold quarterly meeting The Barry, Eaton, and Ionia County Public and Hospital Employees of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union, Lo­ cal #1910, held its quarterly meeting at Portland on Saturday. These meetings are held in the various counties of this local. It was conducted by president Wayne Crofoot of the Hastings Public School Chap­ ter. Members from the Village Workers of Portland. The Hastings City Workers, The Hastings Public School, and the recently formed Ionia Police Dept, chapters attended. A* special guest, Robert Thomasma, a staff repre­ sentative from the Michigan Council #55, who is in charge of organization was present. Mr. Thomasma gave a very interesting talk on the vast area within this tri-county local and the many public workers and their need. Kalamo MRS. WM. JUSTUS There was a good attendance for church, also Sunday school at the Kalamo Methodist church and for the Harvest Festival at 7:30 Sunday night. It was decided to have PTA meetings at the Belle­ vue school this year. Mrs. Gladys Perkins, Mrs. Francis Pease, Mr. and Mrs. Vem Mead were among those attending the meeting Thursday evening.

Jacqueline Peck,, an outstanding teacher from Maple Valley schools, was selected to attend Michigan's FirstTnstitute on Girls' sports in the area of Track and Field. The Institute was held at Eastern Michigan University on November 17,18, and 19, 1967. ' The United States Olympic Development Com­ mittee has sponsored four National Institutes on Girls' Sports. The primary objectives of these In­ stitutes have been to increase the depth of experi­ ence and expand the opportunities for sports partic­ ipation by girls and women. The Michigan Divis­ ion of Girls' and Women's Sports and Eastern Mich­ igan co-sponsored the three day event. This Insti­ tute offered instructors in Michigan an opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of training, conditioning, and skill progressions. Teachers who have attended the National Institutes on Girls' Sports were the instructors. Some of the consultants were such nationally known figures as Jane Ward of California, a member of the Pan A­ merican Volleyball Team, Patsy Neal oPNofth Carolina, a member of the A. A. U. Basketball Team, and Newt Loken from the University of Michigan. The Institute presented the most recent informa­ tion available in the areas of basketball, diving, fencing, gymnastics, tract and field and volley­ balL The participants were expected to share their Institute experiences with other teachers of their immediate area through the organization of workshops and/or professional meetings. _ Local Mr. and Mrs. Howard Weiler will entertain for Thanksgiving Mr. and Mrs. Gene Service, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Weiler, Mr. Russell Weiler, Mrs. Irene Waggoner, Miss Kathy Weiler and Mt.

Dr. Schanderl had come from California where he was active in wine production and war anxious to build both the qual­ ity of Michigan's wine and a muket. Frank Koval was named to head the Institute which set up head­ quarters in Lansing. Snob appeal of imported wines is now the biggest problem the Michigan product faces. Michiganproduced wine can oe sold for less because of a tax differential of 44 per gallon compared to 504 for imported wine; and because transportation costs are lower.

They carried out a similar project last year and felt it was so worthwhile, they decided to do it again this year. in a newspaper article printed last week ill the Battle Creek Enquirer and News, concern was ex­ pressed by those persons at the Home responsible for this Christmas project It appears that the work is normally begun inSep­ tember, but loss of personnel and illness of the di­ rector, Richard Kenney, has slowed things up con­ siderably. The list of materials needed by the patients at the Home certainly offers a wide variety of items needed. Because of the wide difference of ages of the patients, items needed range from toys to to­ bacco and shampoos, combs and brushes, aprons, etc. Although the Literary Club has taken over the project to assemble and deliver these items, any­ one in the area who wishes to do so may contribute items to be taken to the Home. Things should be brought to the News Office before December 2 so they may be delivered and made ready for Christ­ mas giving. Anyone wishing to inquire at the State Home may write Richard G. Kenney, Director of Community Relations, Post office Box 248, Augusta, Michigan, 49012.

That is OK with me. I would just as soon see the girls as the autos, and a combination of both is wonderful. Here are a few of the things we saw at the show. --News Photos by john boughton Editor'! Note: The following letter u one whichwas received by Mt! and Mrs. Art Shetenhelm of V e r montville from their son, SP/4 Timothy who is with the Army in Thailand. Mb. Sheterinelm requested that this portion be printed in the newspaper to give the readers a sol­ dier's viewpoint of the current state of affairs in our country and overseas. Tim is a 1965 graduate of the Maple Valley high school and will behome some time inlanuSfy. About those marches--it sure makes a guy over here feel good to hear about all those demonstra­ tions. I've thought several times about why am I here; when so many people back home won t sup­ port us. I firmly believe everything being done here, Viet Nam, Korea and everywhere else is for the good of liberty. They don't realize that if some one doesn't fight for freedom, they wouldn't have the right to demonstrate. I wish somebody could give them a gun and send them to Viet Nam; they would soon realize what's going on. Even here in Thailand, 1 get a good pic­ ture of things as they are. I consider myself very lucky to be an American. If only there were some way to show those kids how wrong they are. Well, anyway, you can see how it looks from here. We are here defending our country and free­ dom and there are people who say we shouldn't be here. I guess I'd better sign off before I run away with myself. My spirits are really quite high, because, after all, in a few weeks I will be coming home. Love and Stuff?

HELEN’S BEAUTY SHOP 653-3901 Know the proper number Recently the people who answer the Nashville fire phone have been bothered with calls other than those for fire emergencies. Fire Chief Forrest Babcock has pointed out that the fire phone should be used only for reporting fires. Calls for emergen­ cies other than fire should be directed to the prop­ er agencies. Babcock said that people have called the fire number to ask for police assistance. He pointed out that this means more time in reporting the e­ mergency. Since the fire department is not in con­ tact with the sheriff department or the local police the caller mutt hang up and put in a new call to the proper agency. Babcock explained that while this is going on the fire phone is being held up so that a tire emergency could not be reported. Calls to report a fire should be made to OL32341. Calls for the Nashville police department should be made through the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, which maintains radio contact with the Nash­ ville police.

These will be sent to the World Clothing Fund, a national organization providing free clothing to the schools of 50 of the most distressed Appalachian counties and to adults of the area involved which includes Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Geor­ gia, Alabama and Tennessee. The classrooms have been provided with shipping bags and all students have been urged to bring clean, wearable infants, children's and adult's clothing and shoes of all types during this "World Clothing Week. " The goal is one "Bundle of Hopd' from each student. The articles will be distributed to children and adults of any race or creed. While the World Clothing Fund attempts to as­ sist depressed areas all over the United States, spec­ ial relief efforts are presently focused on the Appa­ lachian area. This is the first time the Student Council has been involved in this type of clothing drive, and they are enthusiastic in making it a success.

Santa will arrive in Nashville on Friday evening at about 6:30 and will help the members of the Chamber with the light dedication in Central Park. Committee plans for Christmas basket giving The Nashville Christmas basket committee met Thursday, November 30, at the home of Mrs. Morris Brown to begin plans for this year's distribution. Mrs. Brown, who is committee treasurer, acted as co-ordinator in the absence of the chairman, Mrs. J. E. Smith. Also present to represent the various churches were Mrs. William Hayter, Mrs. Ben Mason, Mrs. Archie McConnell, Mb. Ronald Kenyon, Mb. Mary Struttman, and Mrs. B. J. Varner. Tne Boy Scouts and Cubs have offered their a i sistance this year and will be incorporated into the planning. Any names of needy families or aged per­ sons may be submitted to any on the committee. Contributions, including good, usable toys, can be made at Douse Drug Store. The date of the next meeting will be announced later.

He will be in the Nicholas store after 7:00 and will be happy to visit with his little friends there. For those families who wish it, pictures will be taken of the children with Santa. John Simon, who is heading up the Christmas committee, said that Santa will have a gift for each of his little friends who visits him. "In addition to this," Simon said, "the bank night drawing will be doubled. We will be giving three $30 cash prizes on Friday night. " Santa plans on arriving from the north. (What other direction?). Not only is Nashville's Main street decorated and ready for Christmas, but the individual stores are all decorated and filled with new Christmas mer­ chandise to make your shopping trip to Nashville profitable and pleasant. Simon pointed out that parking is no problem in Nashville and the selection in the stores is better than ever. " These should be good incentives to shop in Nashville, " Simon said. Santa will return to Nashville on Saturday, De­ cember 16, and again on Saturday, December 23, according to Mr. Simon. Arts and crafts displayed in News Office shop Hobbyists in the Nashville and Vermontville area will have a place to display and sell their arts and crafts work during the Christmas shopping season.

NUMBER 28 Donald Langham named Nashville Police Chief At Thursday night's council meeting a Chief of Police for the village of Nashville was hired, the resignation of the assessor was read, and the presi­ dent of the Maple Grove-Castleton township fire board discussed the need of a new fire barn. Donald Langham, who has been serving as a po­ lice officer in a temporary position was hired a s Chief of Police on a full time basis. Langham has also been serving as Zoning Administrator since the village adopted the new Zoning and Building code nearly a year ago. He will continue in this capacity also. The resignation of Carl Tuttle, who has served as assessor for many yean was read. Tuttle resign­ ed because of health problems. The letter of resig­ nation was tabled until the next meeting. The resignation would be effective December 31. The office of assessor is an elective one, and the ap­ pointment of a new official would be effective on­ ly until the spring election next March Cecil Barrett, president of the fire board express­ ed the importance of a new fire barn. The Maple Grove-Castleton fire department, manned by a volunteer group of fire fighters from the village of Nashville has long been in need of a new structure to house the equipment. The building is unsound and is not large enough to house the present equip­ ment. The present fire department is set up to cover Maple Grove and Castleton townships including the village of Nashville, which lies within the bound­ aries of Castleton township. Each governing body of the three units shares expenses. However, Ma­ ple Grove township could not legally vote monies to build a structure outside of their township. This might be changed by setting up a fire district. How­ ever this would set definite Boundaries, which have, in the past, been more or less flexible in order that the present department could give aid to other de­ partments as a neighborly gesture. Too, some of the Vermontville and KaJamo township residents, who have Nashville phones, are protected by the lo­ cal department, and as such are "paying customers" It might work out to better advantage to have a new fire bam built by Castleton township and the village of Nashville. These two units would then hold their meetings therein, and probably house the office of the Chief of Police. These are only tenta­ tive plans, and the council expressed their willing­ ness to cooperate. Monday evening the Fire Board met and the three units continued further discuss­ ion In other business the council approved sending James Erwin, Street superintendent, to a sewage dis­ posal training school. This would pave the way to providing an additional plant man in case if illness or other emergency. Village officials are still attempting to set up a local traffic bureau to handle traffic offenders at a local leveL Complaints of dogs running at large are continuing to come in, and again residents are reminded that dogs must be confined. The paying of bills and other routine business took up the re­ mainder of the Thursday night meeting. Be sure of correct address on overseas letters, packages Postmasters Wilma F. DeCamp of Nashville and Lawrence Frith of Vermontville, today urged the citizens of Nashville and Vermontville to be sure to use the correct address oo their letten and pack­ ages going to servicemen overseas to avoid serious delays in delivery. The postmasten reported that millions of letten and packages going overseas have been delayed be­ cause they were insufficently addressed. They said that one of the biggest problems had been the fail­ ure of persons to include the very important 5 dig­ it APO or FPO number in the military address. Mail not containing thia number is incorrectly addressed. Last year more than 9 million pieces of mall were delayed in delivery. Of this number, 3 1/2 million pieces failed to include the complete 5 searches were made to determine the proper a d 'dresses. "As the Christmas mail volume going overseas is expected to increase up to 30 per cent or over 4 million pounds above last year, every precaution should be taken by friends and relatives of service­ men to address their letten and packages properly to assure rapid delivery to its destination, ‘ Poet­ master DeCamp said. • There are four essential elements to an overseas military address. They are: 1. The serviceman’s identity - grade,full name, and service number. 2. His military unit - complete. 3. Gateway post office - New York. San Francisco or Seattle. 4. APO at FPO - a fi digit number. When any of these elements is missing, the let­ ter or package will be delayed in delivery. �Letter to Editor BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton To the editor of the Maple Valley News, Xn your November 16 issue you reported my resig­ nation from teaching and coaching. The wording of your article seemed rather one-sided. Conse quently, I would like to present my reasons for re­ signing by asking that the major portion of my let­ ter to the Maple Valley School Board be printed in your paper. W ithin the context of this letter are the many problems which caused my eventual de­ cision to resign. Thank you very much for your consideration of this reply. I wish to add that I certainly did not begrudge other groups the use of the gymnasium. I did feel that at times conflict occurred which could have easily been avoided by proper scheduling from the main office. I also did not feel I could effectively coach a new team while having to shout instruc­ tions to them over the noise of other groups in the gym, such as cheerleaders and volleyball teams. These groups presumably would have been using the gym at the same time as both the vanity and reserve teams after school. The following is the letter submitted to the School Board: Dear Sirs: I am hereby submitting my resignation to you, effective immediately. This necessary action has been taken after mucn thought and consideration of the signed agreement I made with you in May of this year. However, I feel that I cannot teach or coach under conditions now existing between m y self and the administration. When I signed my contract with the school board, I did so with the understanding that my teaching assignment was to be seventh grade mathematics and physical education. Upon receiving a class assignment sheet for teachers at the first meeting of teachers in September, 1 discovered that I had been assigned an eighth grade science class. The superintendent had assured me before I had signed my contract (I would not sign the contract until this had been clarified) that such a class was not a part of my assignment for the school year of 1967­ 1968. Upon inquiry, the superintendent said he could do nothing about changing the class, and that I would have to speak to the principal. Two days after the principal told me there was no pos sinle way to change the schedule, I was given the classes I had agreed by contract to teach. ' I was hired as the varsity basketball coach, but find that my efforts to work with the boys interest­ ed in the vanity team were hindered at every turn. During football season it was my desire to open the gym on Mondays after school so that those boys not participating in football might have a chance to improve their shooting ability and other fundamen­ tal skills they needed to acquire. I was told that this would interfere too much with football, even though the season bad already started and the gym would have been opened only for those boys not in football. As the time approached for regular basketball practice to begin I requested the use of the gym from 5:30 to 7:30 for the first few weeks of prac­ tice.* - 1 wasn't well acquainted with the vanity team and I felt that I needed the time with them without the distractions of other groups using the gym immediately after school. I was given five reasons, all at different times, as to why the gym couldn’t be used at that time. These reasons are as follows: 1. There was a Board policy against this. (With this I offered to speak to the Board and was given another excuse to take the place of the fint one. (By the way, there is no such Board policy.) * 2. The community wouldn't like it 3. It interfered with play practice. (I checked with the play director myself and told her if such a practice interfered with her program that those boys involved in the play would be excused from ball practice early. She said that this arrangement would be entirely satisfactory. Only two players are involved with the play, but the superintendent would still not go along with this arrangement.) 4. Cena in agreements had been made when the schools had consolidated. (This was never clearly defined and was not mentioned any further.) 5. The superintendent himself, would not go a­ long with the idea of a practice at such a time.) With all these excuses it seems that the concern of the administration is not for the improvement of the existing teams--varsity, junior vanity, and freshmen--but whether or not they themselves are personally in favor of any requests made to them. This past summer I spent three evenings a week, for five weeks, at the high school working out with any boys interested in playing basketball this win­ ter. 1 did not feel this time bad been wasted, since the boys were showing signs of improvement ui the Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

One of these mornings soon we will be getting up to the tune of HO HO HO and the sidewalks will be full of little boys with new bikes and little girls w ith buggies and dolls. Right after that comes the frantic fathers with the bills after them. I thought for a while that our early snow would last till Christmas, but perhaps not. Maybe we will get more by that time. The Lions Club held their annual Christmas par­ ty on Monday night and had a lot of fun. George Vogt was the star of the Christmas program with his recitation in the Lion's Christmas play. When Santa Claus comes to town on Friday he is going to take time to talk with all of his friends in town. The children will get to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. While all of this is going on we will take pictures for those parents or grandparents who want a shot of their children with Santa Claus.

Before any of us knew what was going on. the fellow threw it in reverse and joared out of the yard. It is fortun­ ate that no kids were playing in me yard. I talked to a man who had been in Kalamazoo on Tuesday morning ano he said the high school kids there were protesting on me streets about the decision of the Kalamazoo school board to force the cheer leading squad to accept negroes on me squad.

On December 10th members and friends of EARC will travel to Fort Custer State Home to bring a bit of Christmas cheer to forty young boys and forty crippled ladies.

The time was strictly voluntary on my pajx. There was nothing said about the restricted use of the gym at that time, and we were using it for an hour and a half each evening. Recently I inquired about the possibility of scrim­ maging a team from an area school and using the gym on Saturday morning to do this.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Few Michigan motorists realize there are two kinds of freeways in Michigan--Interstate freeways and state freeways. "The only difference between Interstate Freeways and state freeways is in the financing, " Chairman Ardale W. Ferguson of the State Highway Commis­ sion says. "Interstate freeways are financed with 90 per cent federal funds and 10 per cent state funds while state freeways are financed on a 50-50 basis. " Planning Committea meeting well-attended Harry Ratlins wins 6-day Florida trip The Vermontville Planning committee and guests met Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon Peabody. There were about 20 persons pres­ ent and they were shown slides of various places in the New England states, shown by Ford Caeser,prin­ cipal of the High Street school in Lansing. Refresh­ ments were served. Chris King heads the Planning committee as chairman; Mrs. Joyce Ratbburn is secretary, and Mrs. Mary Hulben is publicity chairman. The 41, 000-mile Interstate Freeway System was approved by Congress in 1947 but construction didn't get underway until adequate financing was made a­ vailable by Congress in 1956. Michigan is one of the leading states in construc­ tion of Interstate freeways. It has built 807 miles of the 1, 080 miles of Interstate freeways allocated to Michigan. Many apply for An 850-mile State Freeway System was establish­ ed by the State Legislature in 1955 to compliment Michigan's Interstate Freeway System. Ferguson reports that 482 miles of state freeways are now open to traffic and that it will cost more than $700 million to build the remaining 368 miles of state freeways. The $700 million estimate is more money than it cost to build the state freeways'now in use. Major state freeway routes include Us-23 from the Ohio line to Flint, US-131 from the Indiana line to Cadillac, US-31 from the Indiana line to St. Joseph and from Holland to Ludington, US-127 from the Otho line to Lansing, M-53 from Detroit to Imlay City, M-78 and M-21 from Lansing to Port Huron ana US-27 from Marshall to Grayling. Naval Reserve CDR. J. N. Stevens, Commanding Officer of the Battle Creek Naval Reserve Training Center, has stated that in past years, there has been a large in­ flux of applicants for enlistment in the Naval Re­ serve during the month of December. With this in mind. CDR. Stevens said that appli cants will be processed in order of their arrival and that currently a waiting list for December and Jan­ uary enlistments is being established for men be­ tween the ages of 17 and 26. Anyone interested should call the Center at W02-2791 or stop in and talk to Master Chief Zederbaum at 900 Capital Ave.. S. W. in Battle Creek. A master highway classification plan, which calls for construction of an additional 1, 400 miles of state freeways during the next 20 years, was recent­ ly approved by the State Highway Commission. This proposed expansion of the State Freeway Sys­ tem calls tor extension of US-31 from Ludington to the Mackinac Bridge and US-131 from Cadillac to Traverse City. Other major additions to the State Freeway Sys­ tem would be US-2 across the Upper Peninsula, US23 from Standish to Alpena. M-35 from Menomin­ ee to Marquette, a freeway paralleling 1-94 through Michigan's southern tier of counties and a freeway paralleling 1-75 from Detroit to a point north of Bay City. The Vermontville village council will meet in regular session Thursday evening of this week. Presiding over the jession will be acting-presi­ dent, Vernon Trowbridge. He is heading up the council following the resignation of Otus Mills who last week moved to Charlotte because of his work. Thursday evening will be given over to further discussion of the proposed sanitary sewer system and representatives from the engineering company o f Williams & Works of Grand Rapids, and the village attorney, George Watson of Charlotte will be pres­ ent to assist in the discussion of costs, plans, and various ways of financing the proposed sanitary sys­ tem. Harry Rollins, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Nashville, is the winner of a 6-day trip to Miami, Florida. Harry, an eighth grader in the sta­ ple Valley schools, will leave from Detroit Thurs­ day for Florida. The trip is sponsored by the Enquirer and News and Harry is one of three boys who will be making this trip. In a recent circulation drive, sponsored by the newspaper, one boy was selected from the Battle Creek area, one from the surrounding area (which is Harry) and one who obtained the largest number of new customers. Harry and his grandparents also enjoyed a lunch­ eon on Tuesday at the Post Tavern in Battle Creek. Mr. George Spang, the district supervisor for the cir­ culation department of the Enquirer and News and Mrs. Spang also attended the luncheon. .< Hot Lunch Menu DECEMBER 11 - 15 MON--Chili/cracken, celery stick, jelly sand, peaches, cookie, milk.

"Our studies show we'll need to build another 1, 500 miles of freeway between 1970 and 1980 if we are to meet our growing highway needs, " he said. "Unless we get additional revenue, we'll fall far short of that mark. Even with an increase in reven­ ue, we may not hit the 3, 000-mile mark by 1980 because of the uncertainty of what the federal high­ way financial picture will be after the Interstate System is completed in 1972. " Minor Tune-up NEW COURTS Justice Courts will go out of business by Jan. 1, 1969. It still isn't definite what sort of system will replace the old Justice of the Peace nor now well the new plan will work. Most difficult of the questions involving the "Dis­ trict Courts” are: Will the local community, the state, or a com­ bination of the two pay expenses of maintain­ ing the District Court? What limits will be placed on the types of cases the new court can handle? W ill laymen be allowed to act as judges, or will it ne required that only lawyers can serve in this capacity? The legi'laturr was given five yean from the date the new Constitution took effect. There are only 18 months left. About 1,100 miles of other routes have been de­ signated as "principal state highways”-- mostly in Northern Michigan—and a third classification-"area service highways"--was designated for the re­ maining 5, 000 miles of state highways, Ferguson noted. The Commission Chairman said Michigan will have more than 1, 300 miles of Interstate and state freeways open to traffic by the end of this year and will pass the 1, 500-mile mark by 1970.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1M7 — �Musical program planned Clerk discusses sewer problem On November 9, 1967, the offices of the Village Council of Vermontville called an open meeting held in the Maplewood school,x to better acquaint the people as to what is being done toward a sewer system in the village. This project has been under consideration for several years. At this time the State Water Resources Commission has issued a fin­ al order of determination against the village, which means something has to be worked out. Winter’s Coming — Ready!

Faithfully terving familiet of alt'faith* VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Naahville & Vermontville CALL OL3-2612 or CL9-8955 Everyone understands that the cost is going to be great, and as there is no chance of obtaining a fed­ eral grant at this time, a different means to meet this cost, as present estimated at $469, 000, has to be worked out. The Council felt that the citizens of the vUlage should have the opportunity to hear what has been done so far, and have a chance to ask questions or make suggestions. There was a representative, Mr. Williamsfrom Engineering and Planning firm, Wil­ liams & Works, the village lawyer, George Watson, and Mr. Buxton and C. W. Hill from Farm Home Ad­ ministration present to answer questions, and to ex­ plain why things have not moved faster. The number of citizens that availed themselves to the meeting was small, but they showed much en­ thusiasm oh the much needed project. Mr. Williams reported on what they, as engineers have already accomplished, and he brought out ways and means to finance the program. He gave estimated cost to individual users. At this time it seems that private financing is the best course. This would be in the form of general obligation bonds, with the maximum allowable-10% of state equalized valuation, which at present is $1, 295, 860. 00, and revenue bonds for the bal­ ance. There are still many things to be worked out, and when things seem more definite, home owners and tax payers will have a chance to vote on the plan. When this time comes, the village hopes mote than a handful will turn out to vote. I write this in behalf of the entire council Leta Nagle, ViUage Clerk. Members of the elementary band at Maplewood, under the direction of Mr. Reuben Droscha and vo­ cal students directed by Kathleen Ossman, will fur­ nish the program for the December 7th Maplewood PTA meeting in the AH-Purpose room at 8 p. m. The Girl Scouts will provide baby sitting services for the youngsters through the fist grade. The 4th and 5th grade room mothers, with Bar­ bara Wright, as chairman, will served refreshments following the meeting. MAKE MILK COWS .

Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien today re­ minded mailers that since January of this year, post­ age for a package is determined Dy the ZtP code number. If the code is not in the address, the window clerk must look it up. This, obviously slows movement in die parcel post line. Mr. O'Brien noted that this Christmas, a record volume of mail is expected and "anything that can be done to expedite the processing will ease the burden on posul employees, speed service and help make a visit to the postoffice a more pleasant ex­ perience. " Most parcel post is sorted and routed by ZIP codes. Presently, about three fourths of all pack­ ages come into the postoffice with the codes already in the address. Since January 15, when Public Law 89-593 be­ came effective, the key to determining the postage rate on a parcel is the "sectional center, " the main post office servicing a large area. As many as 100 postoffices may route their mail through the section­ al center which is a transportation and marketing hub. The first three numbers of the five-digit ZIP code represent this major postoffice. "There is still time to fill out and return the re­ cently distributed ZIP code locator cards to obtain needed codes before holiday mailing, " Mr. O'Brien said.

The remainder of the evening was spent discuss­ ing the acute doctor shortage in Barry County. The Barry County Medical Society has undertaken an all-out effort to recruit physicians for the area. One of the main problems in obtaining young practition­ ers is the desire of young physicians to specialize. The demand of the armed services also takes many young physicians away from private practice. In an effort to procure physicians, the Medical So­ ciety has contacted 260 hospitals with intern train­ ing programs in the midwest area. It is hoped that young physicians in training at these hospitals will respond and come to Hastings to look over the com­ munity. Anyone knowing' of a physician who is a­ bout to finish his training or is being discharged from the armed services, or a physician who desires to relocate, should contact Gordon Finnie, M. D., President of the Barry County Medical Society. Joins Michigan Magnetics John E. Nelson has joined the engineering staff of Michigan Magnetics in Vermontville.

In addition to farming, Mr. Guy worked in a mill in Johannesburg and has done considerable carpentry work. Mrs. Guy pieced a quilt to give each of her 21 grandchildren as a wedding present.

The Maple Valley high school band went right down to meet him and immediately a parade was made up. The parade, made up of the Nashville police car leading the way, the VFW Color Guard, the fire trucks, VFW Auxiliary, Vermontville's Maple Syrup Queen Denise Viele was there in an open convertible, Yogi Bear followed the Queen, (good old Yogi knows who to follow) and Bozo the Clown followed Yogi. The Maple Valley Homecoming Princess, Debbie Dunham came along in another open convertible followed by Chamber of Commerce President, George Vogt and Village President James Rizor. The Maple Valley Band followed along and pro­ vided music for the trip from South End to Central Park. The Boy Scouts came along after the band and Wheeler's Marine Sales and Service had a Snowmobile in the parade. Marvin Keyes rode in a sulky pulled by a pony and Claude Reid had his ponies out also. Santa and a bunch of cute elves brought up the rear of the parade in a snowmobile sled and the whole parade was topped of with a­ nother fire truck. The new Christmas 1 ights were dedicated and President Jim Rizor accepted the lights from the Chamber of Commerce m the name of the village. After a brief ceremony in the park Santa moved down to the Nicholas Appliance Store where he talked to each child who came through the line and gave each child a bag of candy. Over two hunched children visited with Santa during the time he was in town. Santa's elves and a committee of women from the Chamber of Commerce saw to it that things ran smoothly during his visit. Santa will be back in Nashville on Saturday, De­ cember 16, from 2 to 4 p. m. At 3:00 p. m. the Nashville Chamber of Com­ merce will give away five turkeys to brighten Christmas dinners about town. Donations for tick­ ets on the turkeys are 250 each or 5 for $1, and the tickets are available at all the business places in Nashville. The drawing will be held in Central Park. Of course, Santa will have surprises for the chil­ dren again. On December 23rd Santa will return again. The drawing for that day will be from a mystery box and five prizes will be given.

At a luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria on November 8th, Miss Faust was selected to receive the Top Flight Service Honors Award. Miss Faust is a flight hostess with the TWA in Chicago. Miss Faust received an award certificate, a check for $750, two extra weeks of vacation and two inter­ national trip passes for be­ ing named the Hostess of the Year. Zona Faust The Nashville Chamber of Commerce can be proud of the success of their Christmas kick-off or whatever you call it of last Friday night. The whole thing turned out very welL It was the best Christmas parade we have had since I can remember, the crowd seemed to be in a jolly holiday mood, and the kids and Santa Claus got along just fine. Sama did a bang-up job. He saw over two hun­ dred children and he took time to talk with each and every one of them. Many sat on his lap and told him what they wanted. I heard a number of orders for Hondas. The success of the Christmas party is due to the hard work of many people who put a lot of effort into the affair. . The NashvUle Chamber purchased the new deco­ rations and made the arrangements for the parade and for the place for Sama to visit with his friends. John Simon headed up the Christmas promotion committee. He and jolly Glen Garlinger are to be congratulated on the evening. Saturday Santa wUl be here again and again he will have treats for his friends. WhUe the kids are visiting with Santa those who are just a bit older will find that the Nashville bus­ iness people have plenty of new and unusual Christ­ mas gift items on sale. Santa said he had so much fun last Friday that he is for sure coming back on this Saturday and a­ gain next Saturday. Letter to the Editor; It was with great interest and much anger that we read last week's letter to the Editor from Mr. Zim­ merman. We attended the school board meeting the night hi* resignation was accepted and we read in the paper that week the report of that meeting. We must certainly agree with Mr. Zimmerman that the report was very biased. We were tempted at that time to write our opin­ ion but because we were not personally involved we decided against it. For that we are sorry. By saying we were not personally involved we mean mat we do not have any boys in varsity basketball this year nor do we have any children in Mr. Zimmerman's classes. We attended the meeting solely because we were disturbed by what our children had told us was going on at school concerning Mr. Zimmerman and as we pay a substantial amount of taxes we decided that it was our duty, as a taxpayer, to find out the complete truth. This In itself is an absurdity and now, publicly, we with to ask the school administration, the school board, and for the interest of you parents who sit back, complain constantly, and do nothing the fol­ lowing questions: 1. Why was Mr. Zimmerman's letter of resigna­ tion no tread at the school board meeting so that it could be discussed? 2. Why was Mr. Zimmerman not asked to attend the school board meeting so that a possible solution could have been worked out? 3. Why are we always being shuttled aside by the trite phrase, " It is a school board policy" when, if looked into, we find that it isn't so? 4. Why wouldn't the community like what Mr. Zimmerman had in mind about basketball practice? It seems to us that was between Mr. Zimmerman,the basketball boys, and their parents. 6. What are the certain agreements that wjire the half-time ceremonies. I think I'L' be in shape for New Y ears. I A prof from Michigan State was telling me a­ bout the president of i University where he once taught in Pennsylvania. This man said the Prexy was the typical absent minded professor who was always misplacing things and forgetting things. This man was asked to speak in a town tome dis­ tance from his home so he drove to the place the night before and stayed in a hotel He got up the next morning, had breakfast, got into his car and started to drive to his speaking engagement. He had driven for some time when he realized he had forgotten where he was supposed to be. So he call­ ed the hotel, asked a bellhop to go to hi* room, take a note out of a suit pocket and relay the mes­ sage of just where he was supposed to be speaking. It would appear that just about everybody in town has come up with a bout of the flu. Hope we all get it out of our systems before Christmas. Sunday I started to get into practice for the big New Years Day football watching. I tat through a double-header football game. It take* real power to do that and not even drop off to sleep during Letter to Editor December 9,1967 by john boughton made when the schools consolidated? We were not aware of any but we definitely warn to know what they were and when and why they were made. & If the gym is available for basketball practice what personal business is it of the superintendent or principal? We have been deeply and personally involved with basketball for a number of years and we know a great deal about the situation between football practice, basketball practice, and the administration. Mr. Zimmerman is quite correct in his assumption that the administration is not interested in our basketball team as a thing in itself, but whether or not the the administration is not interested in our basket­ ball team as a thing in itself but whether or not the basketball team is in agreement or not with any suggestions from the administration. We are not saying that Mr. Zimmerman should or should not have been reinstated, we do not even know him, but we have heard extremely favorable reports about his coaching this past summer and hi* teaching ability thisi falL fall. We personally feel that our school was very remiss in their handling of this situation. But when seven men are so gullible that they will believe anything the administration tells them, without actually knowing whether it is the whole story or not; then it is obvious that we can't expect much else from them. And, when parent* show as little interest in the school as they do in this community, then the situation will certainly not improve. We also want you parent* to know, especially you parent* who, because of your children, were personally involved in this, to know that the most of what has been stated in this letter was said to the school board that night. The exceptions being two or three questions that were brought out in Mr. Zim­ merman's letter of resignation that we didn't know about Sincerely, Bill and Marge Lindberg What to Give for Christmas?

Bus available for educational trips Some months ago the Eaton County 4-H Council purchased a retired school bus to be used for educa­ tional trips. It served the purpose very well for a re­ cent trip to Chicago, and is available for use by any 4-H Club in the county. The bus will transport 36 people and enough luggage for several days. Use of this vehicle should make it possible for many more 4-H members to attend educational events or to plan their own trips, to see and do things that are related to 4-H work, at a very reasonable cost. The Council will be making plans for using the bus in connection with county-wide events, but also wishes to encourage 4-H clubs to make use of it to carry out some oftheir own plans. Owning the bus has no value to the Council if it is not useiArrangements for scheduling and using tbe bus can be made through the 4-H Council by calling 543-2310.

The White Plague was TB. To combat this devastating Illness, the National Tuberculosis Association was formed in this coun try at the turn of the century. In the same year-1904--the first Christmas Seal was created by a Danish postal clerk. Why not, he thought, urge people to buy a special sump while their holiday spirit was soaring? The Danish postmaster liked the idea, and the King of Denmark asked his people ro­ use the sumps on their Christmas cards and pack­ ages. The generous Danes responded with tre­ mendous enthusiasm. Soon there was enough mon­ ey to construct a children's tuberculosis hospiuL That was the beginning. The Seals came across the sea to people in America. The American Red Cross sponsored the first campaigns, and the Christ­ mas Seal sported a single red cross. In 1910 the NTA joined forces with the Red Cross. A decade later, the TB Association had grown so that it could carry on the crusade alone. The Seal became a brignt red double-barred cross. Soon it was a fam­ iliar part of the Christmas scene as well as an hon­ ored American tradition. Today, a half-century later the crusade goes on. The work of Christmas Seals through the years has helped to reduce TB drastically. But the cru­ sade isn't over. About 30 million Americans are infected with TB germs, and nearly 100, 000 per: sons have known.active TB. Christmas Seals still play a part in the struggle. But today they support more than the campaign against the White Plague. Contributions help sponsor the struggle against res­ piratory disease and the special noxious effects of air pollution and smoking. The National Tuberculo­ sis Association slogan sums up the struggle: "It's a Matter of Life ana Breath.

William McGraw, director of the Michigan Tourist Council, blamed a combination of dead fish, bad weather, riots, strike threats and Expo 67 for the decline. Matters are worse when one considers that tour­ ism increased five percent nation-wide. Michigan suffered a greater loss in tourist business than is re­ flected in the five percent figure. Tourism in the state has been increasing at about 10% per year. It reached an all-time high of $1. 065 billion in 1966. Some gloom is lifted when annual figures are considered. The Tourist Council is confident that 1967 will register more than $1 billion in tourist spending. Figures are not in for autumn but last winter's business, lead by an upsurge in skiing, in­ creased $6. 5 million over 1966. This autumn is expected to show an increase. Questionaires covering autumn and annual tour­ ist sales are being prepared. Seasons are classified in three categories: winter, December through A­ pril; spring-summer. May through August; and au­ tumn, September through November. About 70% of total business is done in the spring-summer seas­ on. Adverse factors which caused the 1967 decline Are mostly uncontrollable, the council feels. Ef­ fects of bad weather, strikes and riots cannot be overcome by advertising and promotion. McGraw says it was unfortunate all these conditions oc­ curred during the same season. Things look bright­ er for next year, he thinks. The alewife die-off, which received wide­ spread publicity, is expected to be a less severe problem next year. McGraw stated that many outstate vacationers did not realize the alewife prob­ lem affected only parts of Lake Michigan beaches. Many were discouraged from visiting Michigan be­ cause they thought all of the Great Lakes suffered die-off. Some even thought the problem extended to inland lakes, he said. Expo 67 was a mixed blessing for the state’s 40, 000 tourist establishments. Some areas, such as Iro nwood, reported as much as 20% business in­ crease due to Expo-bound traffic. Ishpeming had a 25% decrease, however, and other areas attribu­ ted tourism declines to Expo's attraction. Bright spots in next year's outlook are, for the most part, " iffy" and dependent upon factors out­ side of council control. James Hall, council chairman, feels indepen­ dent businessmen must play a bigger part in tour­ ist promotion. He notes that competition from other states and Canada was a major factor in the 1967 business decline. Hall also notes that the council requested a $2 million appropriation from the Legislature, almost double the present figure, for increased advertising and promotion. Success of introducing Coho salmon to the Great Lakes has already stimulated some tourist business and more should follow. Tolls on the Mackinac Bridge are slated to be re­ duced from the present $3. 75 per passenger car. If this reduction becomes effective before the 1968 spring-summer season, it could accelerate tourism in both the UP and Lower Peninsula. If there are no riots next year, and if strikes are kept at a minimum and the alewife don't create too big a problem, Michigan may move from its number five spot in tourism towards the number one position.

Any­ one who has driven behind "a woman driver, " watched a "draggin" teenager, or waited for an un­ sure person to chive into an intersection knows it.

At the regular board meeting Monday evening Herald Hanson and John Vielewere appointed to represent the board at any of the meet­ ings. while Supt. Carroll Wolff, high school prin­ cipal Forrest Rinehart and elementary principal Rob­ ert Steward were named from the administration. Mrs. Sylvia Williams was hired as kindergarten teacher for the second semester. Her original con­ tract was for the first half of tbe year only. The board approved the purchase of six pieces of equipment for the metal shop department. Total price was $4, 525. This equipment has been ap­ proved under tbe Title in National Defense Educa­ tion act which will allow approximately 30 percent reimbursement. The board -discussed the inadequate visibility at the railroad crossing on Reed street in Nashville. This has been studied by the council over the yean but the situation has become more important since the new high school was constructed and more per­ sons travel this route. The cost of putting in a hash­ ing signal seems prohibitive, but widening the street so that the school buses could approach at right an­ gles with the crossing instead of the present situa­ tion should be given consideration before a tragedy occurs. Estimates are to be secured for draperies and win­ dow light'control curtains at the Fuller street, Kel­ logg and Maplewood schools. Tne board has approved purchase of three new 66passenger school buses for next August delivery. The bus bodies will come from the Carpenter Burch Body company of Rockford for $4,100 each and the chas­ sis from International Harvester company at Lansing at a cost of $3, 598. 47 each. Application for membership in the Tri-Center Athletic association, including schools at Portland, Saranac, Montcalm Central, Carson City-Crystal, Edmore-Montabella, Fulton-Middleton and Lake­ view, was rejected recently in a five to two vote. Approval has to beunanimous in this league. Maple Valley's reason for wanting to change from tbe Ex­ pressway is because tbe schools are more nearly the same size, and an eight-school league would solve Post offices participate in Alien registration The nation's 32, 000 post offices will participate in the registration of about 3 1/2 million aliens next month. • Under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, every post office is responsible for providing registration cards and turning the completed cards over to the Immigration and Naturalization S er vice. The cards must be picked up personally by regis­ trants and they may be banded in to the post office when completed or turned in directly to Immigra­ tion and Naturalization offices. Post offices will accept the cards only until the end of January, tbe month in which the aliens are required to register. Those who have not registered by January 31 mutt go to Immigration and Naturali­ zation offices to do so. Cards and all materials needed by post offices in the registration are being mailed to the offices this month, but registrants may not obtain the cards un­ til January. Alien registrations have been increasing. In Janu­ ary, 1966, about 3. 3 million aliens registered, and in January, 1967, the total was about 3. 4 million. Further increases are anticipated in 1968, The Post Office Department is reimbursed for it* role in the registration by the Immigration and Nat­ uralization Service at about 9? for each registrant. Aliens are not necessarily restricted to registra­ tion at their "home"post office. If . away from home, they may register at a nearby post office. some of the scheduling problems. Driving distance would not be cut down, but more direct routes on better roads would result. Maple Valley may re­ submit at a later time. Bills in tbe amount of 88,22L 60 were approved and the transfer of two payroll accounts of 830, 051. 99 and 829.16K 38 were also approved. The adult men's recreation program started this week at the high school and the adult women's pro­ gram will begin in January. The shop class has completed the box for the pickup truck and consideration is being given for the building of another box for another VehicleTJWned by the school The Rambler station wagon was delivered this week. State vocational reimbursement for last year in the amount of 82, 640. 00 or 50 percent, has been received for equipment purchased in the commer­ cial rooms. Final reimbursement forms for the Title III program for last year have been filed. Total a­ mount of the program was 87, 025.41 and reimburse­ ment should be approximately 50 percent. At the high school there has been a high percent of absenteeism of students and teachers because of illness. At the peak last week 220 students and eight teachers were out.

Draft Appeal folder now available Selective Service wants every registrant to know his rights to appeal his draft classification. Colonel Arthur A. Holmes, state director, has pro­ vided all Michigan local boards with a new pa m phlet on "Taking Appeals from Selective Service Classifications". Copies are free to all who ask. Registrants, dependents and employers are con­ stantly reminded of appeal rights following each classification. Most problems for local boards re­ sult because no one lets the board know the situa­ tion until the registrant is practically on his way to the army. Colonel Holmes reported. He said if a registrant will use his right to re­ quest a personal appearance with his board and to appeal to the State Appeal Board, most cases will be resolved with equity and justice for all concern­ ed. Recently Selective Service extended appeal per­ iods from 10 to 30 days following classification.AU that is required for appeal is a timely written state­ ment " I appeal" signed by the registrant or other authorized person. Local boards also have pamphlets explaining how the draft system operates and information for em­ ployers who wish to request temporary deferments of key employees in critical occupations. These pamphlets may also be obtained from state draft Headquarters in Lansing.

DECEMBER 21, 1967 NUMBER 30 Village Council discusses new Traffic Ordinance The first draft of a uaffic ordinance was read at the regular meeting of the village council Thursday evening. Several recommendations were made ana it is expected the ordinance will be ready for adop­ tion at the next council session. Along with the adoption of the uaffic ordinance a new uaffic court will be set up in the office of the village clerk where fines may be paid locally. Here­ tofore, tickets have been issued within the village on County Tickets and the violations were paid in Hastings. Cecil Barren, Castleton township clerk, and pres­ ident of the Fire Board which embraces Maple Grove and Castleton townships and the village of Nashville, reported to the village council that an option for $500 had been given on the Mary Holman property. This property, north of the present fire bam, is being used as an art gallery by the owner. She will continue the gallery until such time as she decides to turn it over to the village. Meanwhile financing the project will be studied and plans for a new fire barn will be made utiliz­ ing both properties. Harold Nortis was named to the Legislative C o n tact council, a group of representatives throughout the state who work with their legislative representa­ tives. . Ambulance service was discussed at length. Pres­ ently, Nashville is serviced by the Vogt Funeral home, one of two in Barry County. Vogt is subsidiz­ ed by Castleton township, but it is probable Nash­ ville village will support the service also. Mrs. Ada Skedgell, village clerk, reminded those officials whose terms will expire this year, that pe­ titions must be filed by January. The terms of James Rizor, village president, Mrs. Skedgell, clerk; Mrs. Marguerite Wilson, treasurer, and three trus-.. tees, Henry Fedewa, Wayne Skedgell and Frank Scramlin, will expire this year. Carl Tuttle, vil- lage assessor, tendered his resignation to become effective January 1, at the last meeting in Novem­ ber. No one has been appointed to fill the vacancy. The village clerk was instructed to contact the state highway department concerning a sign on M­ 66 showing tne location of the Maple Valley high school. Other items for discussion were storm and sani­ tary sewers and construction of a new water tower. It is expected the sharp "S” curve on Reed street where the New York Central railroad cuts through ■ will be widened when the street is blacktopped next spring. This will allow the buses and other big e­ quipment to approach the railroad crossing at a right angle instead of a slant as is presently the case. The council approved $250 for the Fire Board and allowed other bills in the amount of $2,060. 60.

The resolution establish­ ing this fund stated that, "with the view of using Charlton Park on a year around basis, the Christmas activities for Barry County children years hence, could recreate the joys of sleigh rides, ice skating races, Christmas tree bonfire, etc. When that time comes, having funds available for the directors use ' would be essential to perfect such plans because the normal budget would not allow for such expense. This same fact will be true in relation to various other specific proposals of the future. " This first contribution to $50 to the Children's fund was made in memory of Paula Smith of Mid­ dleville. After many previous meetings the total member­ ship of the Barry County Parks and Recreation Com­ mission attended the meeting at the Court House Thursday evening, December 14th when the first preliminary professional study of Charlton Park and the Charlton Museum was presented during a two hour session. We reprint here the summation of the extensive report that took into account: traffic flow, topog­ raphy, shorelines, finances and many other aspects of this vast project. “In summary, brief examination of the resources, historic and natural of Charlton Park would indicate that an exciting, unique development is possible. The development could be oriented both to com- munity activities and to tourist utilization. The po­ tential for tourism, seems adequate to support the issuance of revenue bonds to finance the develop­ ment. In order to achieve the desired development, it is proposed that: 1. Cataloging of the collection be undertaken. 2. A master plan for development be derived. 3. An Economic Feasibility Study be under­ taken. 4. Bond Counsel be apprised of the develop­ ment. 5. As soon as practical, an able director be hired to guide the development. " Many specific decisions now face the P & R Com­ mission. The commission hopes to proceed with imagina­ tive and creative plans so that each Barry County citizen, every child, will grow with understanding and appreciation that Charlton Park, is, and will become, one of the most important and cherished experiences along life's path. Many organizations and individuals will be called upon to help in these endeavors that will not only benefit this commun­ ity but vast numbers from distant places. After the first of the New Year 1968 the commis­ sion intends to have a regular date for a monthly meeting besides the many interim meetings that are necessary at this stage of development. The dates of these monthly meetings will be announced and the public is urged and most cordially invited to attend.

These toenails have been given several other names—hoofs, claws, talons—to fit various types of animals or birds. Members of the cat family, including lions, tigers and leopards, have claws which they use for catching food. These sharp, hook-like toenails are good fighting tools and also serve some of these types of cats in climbing trees to get away from the enemy. Mostly, dogs use their teeth to catch food or fight, but their toenails help them some­ times, such as for digging holes. Birds that sit in trees have long, curved toenails called "talons" to hold branches or limbs. Hawks and owls have taloqs that are longer, sharper and more curved than most birds which en­ able them to catch their prey. Other birds, like pheasants, have dull toenails as a re­ sult of their running on rough ground. Deer, horses, and cows have very heavy toenails known as I'hoofs" which are thick and al­ most as hard as stone. All animals with hoofs eat only grass, tree leaves, or other kinds of plants. None of them eat meat. Perhaps that’s because hoofs can,’t help them to catch hold of other animals. Mich.
