'Constitutionality doubtful1

»5*

By TIM YOUNKMAN

ST. JOHNS—The Clinton County Apportionment Committee Thursday night approved a redisricting plan calling for an 11-man board of commissioners, despite protests that the_ plan was unconstitutional.

The committee approved the plan by a 4-1 margin, with Clinton County Prosecuting Attorney John Newman casting the lone no vote, claiming the plan was unconstitutional according to recent state court rulings.

The plan was originally submitted by Gerald Lankford, a county com-* mlssloner from DeWit t , who had worked on the project for the board of c o m m i s s i o n e r s . The board approved the formula in January, but learned that they could not apportion themselves following a Court of Appeals ruling.

That turned the matter over to a special committee which included Ernest Carter, county clerk; Velma Beaufore, county treasurer; Newman, James Palmlter, GOP county chair-' man; and Robert Niblock, Democratic county chairman.

Under the Lankford Plan, all of the. districts would change except Eagle-Water town, currently represented by Robert Montgomery. Several.commissioners will be living in the same district, causing a runoff in the primary.

Under the new plan, Bath Township would continue to be one district; DeWitt, Township would be divided into three districts, with one (the City of DeWitt) Joining Olive Township to form a district; Eagle-Watertown would be one district; Westphalla-Rlley-Bengal townships would Join into one district; Victor and Ovid t o w n s h i p s would be a district; Bingham Township and the third precinct of St. Johns would be a district, while the other three precincts in St. Johns would comprise another district; Dallas-Lebanon-Essex would form one district; and Greenbush and Duplain townships would become one district.

Lankford noted that the proposed plan only alters two precincts of about 27 in the county.

The way the districts are divided In the proposed plan, each district c o m m i s s i o n e r would represent approximately 4,000 p e o p l e . The smallest district would be Greenbush-Duplain with a 3,847 population, while the largest would be Bath with 4,832 residents.

Newman said the Lankford Plan was unconstitutional since it did not adhere to a one-man-one-vote guideline presented by the Court of Appeals in January. Each district, theoretically, must have the same population and the courts only allow for a one-

ST. JOHNS—City commissioners here Monday night voted on two resolutions determining the fate of city frlnge'.areas for the near future and approved plans to start a study on the sewer plant expansion.

Commissioners voted unanimously to deny a request by Sandlwood Mobile Home Park to allow for disposal of untreated sewage into the city treatment facilities.

"I sympathize with theman'sprob-lem," commented Commissioner Roy Ebert shaking his head, "but I'm not in favor of extending services outside the city limits.*

Commissioner Jeanne Rand noted ^that if they approved the request the city would be hard put to limit city services outside the boundaries, especially with the new developments growing up on the fringes,.,

Mayor- Robert Wood told commissioners that the city needs a new subdivision ordinance to go along with the proposed master plan to regulate the growth and * services designated for these new building areas.

Wood said that new housing areas or any annexed land would require regulation not covered In the hew master plan. "We.could have some

.bad p r o b l e m s , " he said. "For •example, who would be responsible ,fdr these services?" ' t h e commission voted to turn the matter over to city attorney Paul Maples who was directed to'draught a subdivision ordinance by the next meetlng^March 13.

In another action, City Mgr. Harvey Weathefwaxôied -that the city-must get started on'an engineering study;.

The study must be complete and the construction or implementation done and in'operation Dec. 1, 1972. It was noted that the phosphate phase could be hooked Into the present system now, but complete expansion of the treatment facilities must be done by Dec. 1, 1975. Total cost of the project is expected to reach at least $1.2 million.

City crash

youth hurt ST. JOHNS-A 17 year old St.

Johns youth was injured Sunday in a two car crash on Clinton Ave. near Lewis Street.

According toSt. Johns police, Lewis Walter Thompson, of 1610 South Lansing Street, was north-bound oh Clinton Ave* and lost control of his car while attempting to pass an auto driven by Ndreen Jean LeDuke,' 37, of 207 West Buchanan St., St. Johns.

Police said they are investigating the possibilities that a third car was also involved northbound oh Clinton but details were-sketchy. . After'losing control of his car, Thompson, skidded sideways and col-

tenth per cent imbalance, or a 1.1 to 1 ratio.

Newman said the Lankford proposal amounts to a 1.26 to 1 ratio between the highest and lowest populated districts, which could be challenged as unconstitutional.

Newman cited a court case in Muskegon County in which there was a population spread from the largest to the smallest district of 24.2 per cent or a ratio of 1,28 to 1. The court ruled it unconstitutional and added that even a ratio of 1.1 to 1 would not guarantee constitutionality.

Newman said there was ano question about what the courts would do," if the Lankford plan was passed. He said there was too much of a population difference between the largest and smallest districts to be approved by the courts.

Palmlter told the committee that he thought "the plan meets the guidelines set down before us," and immediately called for a vote on the plan.

Newman had submitted a plan for a seven-member board of commissioners based on a one-man-one-vote ratio of 1.08 to 1, which,' he said, would be within the constitutional guidelines of the Muskegon County ruling.

In the Newman plan, Greenbush, Duplain and Ovid townships would become one district; Essex, Lebanon, Dallas, Bengal and Bingham (except for enumeration district 218) townships would comprise a district; the

,City of St. Johns and enumeration district 218 (67 people) would.lie; a 'district; W e s t p h a l i a , Eagle and Watertown townships would join for a district; Bath, Victor and a portion of DeWitt Township would be a dlsr trict; northern DeWitt, Olive and Riley

The Clinton County Intermediate district board voted unanimously Monday to go ahead with the purchase of nearly four acres on US-27 south of Taft Road, three miles south of St. Johns,

Supt, B. Stanley Pocuis said the purchase price of the land was $9,000, which is included in the board's approval of a $126,000 bonding resolution. The board Intends to construct a new district office building for the superintendent and staff, currently housed in an old building across from the courthouse in St. Johns.

Plans were formulated In October during a meeting of the county^s six school district superintendents and their board presidents. They de-

welded there should be larger facilities for the intermediate district offices to better provide and administer, services.

Pocuis said the bonds will be paid through a millage spread of less than .25 of one mill, which does not need voter approval once passed by the board. He said the law provides for the levy if it Is' within one-tenth of one percent of the district's total valuation.

The board has contract Warren Holmes Company, a Lansing architectural firm to plan the building. Pocuis said he hopes construction could begin by early Spring and be completed in the Fall.

wWe have given them the functional needs of the district office and the amount of money.we have," Pocuis said, "We want to get the best building for the money, but it will not be anything too elaborate."

The other building program under consideration by the intermediate, board still has not met with state approval. The board had suggested, along with various school superintendents, that a new vocational center would be nee'dedfor career education training. However, Clinton County has not been designated an, "area center," so the board must make plans for an Interim vocational ed program, Pocuis said.-v

The architect 'is planning room for a media center In the new district headquarters, which could be instrumental In being named an area, center. There are plans at the state level to combine Clinton County's

"board"-*with the Ingham and Eaton boards, to create a Tri-County board of education.

With the new building underway, Pocuis said he thinks that his office would remain as a branch of the larger group.

In another announcement , Bath Supt. Roger Carlson said he has r e - -celved approval from the state „de- , partment of education to build a new high school, The move means that now/ the board of education at Bath can now call for an election seeking the

voters' approval to start construction, v

The construction would replace the Couzens Building, which currently houses some junior high school and high school students.

A citizens' committee is being formed to make plans for an election, hopefully in June, Carlson said. The project would reouire$2l500,000 from the bond loan program in which 90 per cent of everything above a 7-mill levy would be paid.

To break it down to the individual taxpayer, Carlson said It would, cost the district approximately two additional mills to build the new high school. A committee of faculty, administration, board of education and

-citizen members would be formed to evaluate the needs and provide suggestions to the architects.

The current high school building would be converted into a middle school. The Warren Holmes firm has been contracted for this project. The firm had already done some estimating of renovation at the Couzens building and indicated it would cost more than $500,000 to repair.

Carlson noted that the present high school's capacity is about 330 students, while 375 are now enrolled.

The new building should have a capacity of about 450, Carlson said, which had already been projected for a five year period.

He said the board of education will plan a series of public meetings in the spring, before the election.

Carlson said the high school-would be located about 1,000 yards behind and north of the current building, with access from Clark Road. He said the traffic conditions near the


Public hearing March 6

ST. JOHNS-State Sen. William S. Ballenger (R-Ovid) said Monday he will hold a public hearing March 6 at 1:30 in the St. Johns High School auditorium.

He said he ""wants" to hear public opinion concerning Senate Bill 1225, the collective bargaining bill Introduced to help farmers get higher prices. Also expected to be on hand will be. Charles O. Zollar, the co-sponsor of the bill with Ballenger.

The billinvolves voluntary bargaining through cooperatives, Ballenger said. He noted mat it should aid the farmer in gaining better prices. He added that the director of the state department of agriculture, B. Dale Ball, may also be on the panel.

He said he hoped as'many of the ' local citizens as possible attend the

meeting to better explain the program.

The largest district would be the last one, with a population of 7,266, while the smallest would be St. Johns with 6,739.

Committee members objected to the seven-man board since it would almost require full-time commissioners, all of them being on each committee, Increasing the cost of operation considerably.

There had been a suggestion that the Couzens Building be torn down and replaced by a memorial park which would cover several acres, although no definite decision has been made by the board on the future of the building.

The DeWitt school officials are meeting with faculty and citizens in a special committee to study the future building needs of DeWitt. The first step would be an expansion of the high school, which has quickly outgrown the capacity.

The citizen committee is expected to reveal its findings and offer suggestions in about one month, ac-

Fowler may build a storage building at the cost of about $4,000-$10,000 that could be used in the future for classrooms if expansion is called for or could be converted to a bus garage. The board of education has not made a decision on the plan.

Ovid-Elsie hopes to construct a bus garage at a cost of under $20,000 to house the district's 35 buses.

ST. JOHNS-The Michigan Association of County Drain Commissioners met in annual s e s s i o n recently in Lansing, Many new products and'drain construction techniques were exhibited and demonstrated for more than fifty County Drain Commissioners attending.

Nearly 100 materials suppliers, contractors and engineers also attended a part of the three day event.

currently before the state legislature that would provide for reorganizing county governments.

Dra in Commissioners steadfastly maintain that the State Drain Code should continue to be administered by elected drain commissioners In each county rather than by political appointees acres of excess lands purchased for highway construction, but then not used for highway purposes. No drain taxes are paid oh such land parcels though the.y benefit, from local d r a in improvement projects.

The commissioners went on record opposing HB4948, which was reported out of the House Conservation and R e c r e a t i o n Committee Thursday In the form of a revision of the second sus-titute version of the bill. The action climaxed along disagreement with various Sportsmens Clubs and Department of Natural Resources interests.

The commissioners feel that the cumbersome permit system to be administered by DNR for any kind of drainage f a c i l i t i e s construction by anyone, Includ

ing public and private storm water drainage projects, Is impractical and unnecessary. They contend it would, create a serious handicap to agricultural drainage outlets as well as for municipal as proposed by some legislative reformers.

The Drain Commissioners also locked horns with the Department of Natural R e s o u r c e s and the State Highway Department 'over several controversial bills.

A b i l l providing for a change.in method of determining the amount of drain assessments for state highways was debated before the Senate Agriculture Committee. The highway department wants to remove the basis of "benefits and contributions" from the law and use an engineering formula computed on highway storm water runoff factors In all circumstances.

The department claims uniformity of highway drain assessments would be accomplished, but Drain Commissioners a r g u e that inequity with other drain taxpayers would morelikely' be the result. They also, charge that the Highway "• Department owns many development and highway improvements. The extra administrative cost to the state is unknown but DNR would c h a r g e substantial fees in the process.

"We would .be happy • to support practical legislation to protect and improve our; environment," Mitchell de-'1

dared, "We have frequently done so in the past, but we cannot allow emotionalism generated by amateur ecologists to prevail over practical procedure.

"DNR interests appear to be taking the opportunity to gain some more power."

* * That the children of the

St. Johns Lutheran Church do care and do share was brought to the congregations attention when the children of the various Sunday School classes formed a committee representing the students from all classes. Their goal was to choose a special project. They discussed three projects and chose to help the missionaries, namely the "Food For Refugees* program.

The students have committed themselves to provide $10 monthly to provide food, clothing and also medical supplies for a refugee child where the need exists.

They are collecting pennies for this project and have a plastic container in which the pennies are kept so the children can see their progress.

When the $10 is collected It will be sent to the Synod's' Mission and then sent to the needed area.

Mrs. Carolyn Ebert is the project advisor.

CLINTON COUNTY NEWS RAGE

for Women Local clubs observe American History Month

Two St. Johns organizations took the month of February as a chance to educate themselves more thoroughly on several aspects of American history, an appropriate subject for this time, since F e b r u a r y was observed nationally as American History Month.

Mrs. John Rumbaugh invited her fellow members of the St. Johns Woman's Club to her home on the after'noon of,Feb. 16 to sample-some of the delights of a hobby she and her husband share —that of collecting American antiques.

A tour through her home-allowed the women to examine a wide variety of relics of times past, Including old family photographs, marriage certificates, aweddlng gown, hand-embroidered pillow cases with popular

, maxims of the day, as well as pieces of furniture, china,' and glassware.

A tantalizingly aromatic spiced hot cider, which was prepared from an old recipe in Mrs, Rumbaugh's collection, capped off the afternoon, following her talk about her hobby of collecting and some of the knowledge she and her husband have gained in its pursuit.

Clyde Anderson and his daughter, Mrs. Wanda Ryan, two St. Johns area residents who have made the study and reproduction of certain aspects of American history an important part of their lives, will be present at the next Woman's Club meeting on March 1 at the home of Mrs. Glenn Osgood, 104 B. Cass. They will present a program on the subject of American Indians.

the wart featured a cartridge containing s e v e r a l slugs which allowed more shots per minute than the average of three obtained with the previous models.

The fifth Michigan Team participated in the Muzzle Loaders' Festival at Greenfield Village. Mrs. Ryan had just missed first prize at a Greenfield Village event for the hoop-skirt costume with pantaloons that she was modeling. She-was awarded honorable mention, instead, because she had used a zipper closure in reproducing the dress, and zippers weren't invented yet.

Mrs, Ryan explained that her love of American history was instilled at an early age by her father.

Mrs. Adele Jones, who provided a detailed descrip

tion of the people, avents, songs, and dances of Lincoln's and Washington's times, describes herself as a history buff. Her interest, however, includes world history as well as American, as she majored in the study of classic Greece and Rome in college.

The Washington'sbirthday portion of the Morning Musicale program was held at Mrs. Bruce Fowler's home on Feb. 24. Members of the group sang such Civil War songs as "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!*, ?When" Johnny Comes Marching Home,* and, of coursef "Dixie." And from the Revolutionary War they sang "Yankee Doodle* and "Hail, Columbia,* which was written as Washington's presidential march.

P h y l l i s R i c e , Joann Martls, and the Musicale Ensemble sang s e v e r a l songs from the Revolutionary War days with Mrs. Martha Lundy providing piano music. Mrs. Evangeline Caudy was accompanist at the Feb. 10 meeting.

Mrs. Jones remarked that she had noticed in a newspaper article that a recent survey conducted abroad had found that even now, more foreign people wanted to come to America than to any other country.

She also commented that the "better time to study • history is after you've had a Job and had a real part in the world.*

Sharks bite 'Marauders. 80-79 ITHACA—There wasn't, a

dry eye in the house here Monday" night after Ovid-Elsie and St. Louis, traditional rivals, in the state district cage opener, walked off the court.

Some were happy and some were sad.- With five seconds left, an O-E shot fell short and the Marauders lost their bid for a second district title in the school's s h o r t , history. St. Louis walked away the victors in an 80-79 contest.

The M a r a u d e r s , who haven't been able to win the big ones this season, had Jumped out in front early in the contest, slamming horns their first 10 shots and zoomed to a 45-36 half-time lead.

It looked as though the Marauders might finally have a chance at the big win —and a crack at the district crown.

But after the intermission, the dream turned Into a nightmare as Ovid-Elsie couldn't seem to do anything right*

"They had a mental let down," Coach Bob Foreback said unhappily. "They went away from their offense In that third quarter. They didn't box the boards like they should and they let those guys drive to the base line. That's what cost us the game,"

In that third quarter, the Sharks managed 20 offensive

rebounds, getting a second and third try at the bucket. They outscored the Marauders 24-12' to gain back some momentum and carried it into'the final period.

The Marauders fought back from a 10 point deficit with three minutes to go in the game and did get the last, shot off. Bill Foran t6ok aim with five seconds left, but the ball bounced off the rim. and into the arms of Ron Mead. The* buzze'r rang,Just before Mead threw the ball at the, net. It went in—but the score didn't count,

"I wouldn't say it ,was a disputed shot," Foreback said. Some fans were angry after the game, thinking, the

bucket should have counted, giving O-E the victory. "The, buzzer went off just before the shot."

•We were leading by nine p o i n t s at ha l f t lme," l a m e n t e d Foreback. "We just let them right back in there." He said it might have been due to the team's/ relative inexperience, since' there are only four seniors on the squad. .

Another factor that hurt the Marauders came midway through the fourth quarter When Gary Groom, the t eam's l e a d i n g s c o r e r , fouled out of the game. He averages 19 points a game and had collected 23 for O-E against the Sharks before getting his fifth foul. •

Groom's points came on 10 field goals and three of five free t h rows . Randy Loynes also had a good night with 21 points on eight field goals and five of six charities. John Glowney netted 13 points on five buckets and three for.three at the line, while teammate Bill Foran notched up 14 points on five field goals and four of seven free throws, 1 Dan Egbert chipped in with six points and Mead had two.

Ted Allen led the St. Louis attack- with 27 points. Glowney drew the assignment of guarding theM.MB's l e a d i n g scorer. "Glowney did real well defensively," noted Foreback.

Foreback said he wanted

to praise his four seniors who had waited a long time for this district match-up, "They are dedicated and hard working. They came through and may have worked too hard, I feel bad for them because they don't get another chance, while . the Juniors on the team will,* The seniors are Glowney, Foran, Mead and Chuck Miller."

With all of those Juniors

coming back—tills time with the experience—what will happen next season?

"I Just don't know," Fore-back said. *I thought we had a fine team'this year. You just don't know. I guess we'll just have id wait and see. They have to prove It' on the floor, but I know that the potential is there," .

So, St. Louis, just wait until next year!

Marauders look sharp but lose to All-Saints OVID-ELSIE - The

M a r a u d e r s passed up a chance to topple the state's fifth rated Class B team Saturday night by dropping a close one to. Bay City All-Saints 85-82. ;

The Marauders made a fine showing against the powerhouse, but couldn't get the defense working long enough to contain the Saints' flashy junior guard John Pike who poured In 37 points against 6-E.

«We looked real good on offensive," Coach Bob Fore-back said of htm Marauders.. "But we have to score more

than they do to win. We Just couldn't hold them defensively.*

The M a r a u d e r s had a chance to grab the ball at the end of the game, but a b u c k e t wouldn't have reversed the decision,

"We played a good fourth quarter against Chesahlng Friday night and four good quarters against Bay City," Foreback said. However, the Saints managed to lead in most of the statistics. They hit better than 60 per cent from the field netting 34 of 66 shots, while the Marauders hit a respectable 46

O-E's leading scorer Gary Groom (42) pops for two more against a swarm of St, Louis

Sharks, Groom netted 23 points Monday night.

The Saints were better on the boards, outrebounding O v i d - E l s i e 36-24, "We played pretty even with the Saints beating us slightly in everything but free throws," Foreback said.

F o r e b a c k started John Glowney against the hot-handed Pike and alternated two others at that defensive point throughout the game, but Bay City was a well-balanced squad and could compensate for any double-teaming effort thrown at them by the Marauders,

"They have a real good-ball team," Foreback added, "with their 6-B center and a 6-6 forward. They are tall and good shooters,"

Bay City utilizes a 1-2-2 offense effectively. The point man was Plk~e wlthtwowing-ers, one hlttlngforlSandthe other for 17 points. The two tall men were under the nets to gobble up anything missed by the shooters,

Gary Groom led the Marauders with a 33-polnt performance, netting 13 buckets and seven of eight free throw tries. Randy Loynes helped out with 17

points on four field goals and nine of 16 at the free throw Una, Glowney hit for 13 points on five field goals and three for three at the charity stripe, while Ron Mead added 10, points on two field goals and six for six at the free throw marker.

BATH—Unlucky Dansville couldn't be more grim than they are this week.

The Aggies have the unfortunate task of facing the Bath Bees twice In five days, and the first meeting Friday night was nothing short of humiliating.

Bath, behind the power shooting of Paul Stoll and F r i t z Ordlway, slammed Dansville 95-56 before a home crowd. It was a warm-up to Tuesday night's first

round in the Class C district battles at DeWitt, with the winner ending up In Friday night's championship game.

The Bees outscored Dansville 23-11 in both.the first and second quarter to outdistance the Aggies 46-22 by halftlme. Substitutions and a little overconfidence allowed the Aggies to hit for 22 points In the third quarter while the Bees managed 21, but they poured on the

steam in the last quarter to slam Dansville 28-12 and walked away easy winners,

Stoll netted 27 points for Bath on 11 field goals and five of six free throws, while Ordlway bagged 21 points on 10 buckets and one of two charity tosses.

Roy Dobs on added 16 points for the Bees on seven field goals and two of three free throw attempts, and Randy Markham had 10 points on five buckets.

Others scoring for the Bees were Dale Cantwell (2), Joe Mitchell (4), Tom Townsend (3), Brad Schalbly (7), Jack Brown (1), Henry (2) and Smith (2).

With the win, Bath ends the regular season with an 11-6 overall record and Dansville has a 2*14 mark. The teams were to meet again Tuesday night at 7:30 for the district opener.

Last chance fails, Pirates lose 87-86 WEBBERVILLE-It was a

hard pill to swallow Friday night. In fact, it might not have been surprising to see the statisticians figuring out the final score, since time had run out in the first overtime period with Webbervllle leading Pewamo-Westphalia by one point.

But the game wasn't over. Pirate Steve Wirth was

the lone figure at the free throw line. Fouled at the buzzer with the score 87-86, he had a chance to turn the game around in a one-and-one situation.

The first shot bounced around and fell away—the

game was over and P-Wlost its chance for second place in the Central Michigan Athletic Conference.

The answer to the S p a r t a n ' s victory was simple. "Webbervllle was hot," was the lone comment by Coach Harry Peacock.

The P i r a t e s ended the

Redwings capture trophy

season with a 12-5 overall record and an 8-4 league mark and will enter the Class C district competition at Montabella Wednesday evening against Carson City-Crystal,

P-W took the edge in the first quarter 21-18 , but trailed by halftlme 38-34. Taken by surprise, the Pirates bore down m the third quarter with a blistering 30-23 attack, but lost momentum in the last period, resulting in a tie at the end of regulation play.

The overtime period found Webbervllle outscoring P-W 5-4 to take the cliff-hanger,

Mike The ien led the imitates withi22'points on six* , field goals and 10 of 17 free

rJifows. Wirth= netted 16 points on four field goals and eight of 11 charities. Roy Plggott added 15 points with six field goals and three of three free throw tries.

O t h e r s scoring for the Pirates were Jim Henges-bach (7), Randy Fedewa (3), Tom Theien (6), Mike Cotter (9) and Doug Walter (8).

The Spartans slammed the nets with 34 field goals to P-W/s 28, but the Pirates nailed down 30 of 44 free throws to 199 of 34 for Webbervllle,

Webbervllle was led by Todd Cos's 22 points on eight field goals and six of nine free throws.

Webbervllle ended the season with a 7-15 overall record and a 5-7 l eague mark.

I've told Larry Karber and Dean Henntng that they

should run a full page ad on manholes. I think everyone has a secret desire for their very own manhole.

Anyway take In the Open House. • .you might win the materials for an outdoor bar-b-q they will be giving away.

WE HAVE SOME very nice

neighbors. They even used to be friends. The friendship ended this past weekend.

Really, it was their fault. Earlier this year they took our oldest boy, Erik, snow-mobiling. He had a good time, was well behaved and caused no problems.

T h i s past weekend they took our youngest, Joel "the Animal*. I still don't know what all happened. Joel won't talk, Lou has been resting since their return and can't talk and all Dick does Is throw snowball and rocks at

ou r house and swea r revenge.

We triedtowarnthem,Lou stopped over one day and said she and Dick were "thinking* about taking Joel along. Before she could say another word Alice had his beer case packed and his return address (wrong) printed on his forehead.

Joel was ready to go even though the trip was two days away.

Friday night they left. Alice caught them • as they were trying to sneak out of

the dlrveway. She untied the Ahinial and put him and his beer case in the car, **

For two days there was p e a c e and qu ie t In the1

neighborhood. No phone calls" from p a r e n t s of bloodied boys. The p o l i c e even stopped cruising the block.

La te Sunday night the phone did ring. It was Lou explaining they would start for home as soon as {hey found Joel. The problem was, no one wanted to look for him. They were all too busylook-lng for the snowmobile he

hid. I went to bed. Alice stayed

up. The next mornlngl asked if he had a good time. Alice said shedidn't know but that

"Dick didn't even help her untie Joel.

Karber Block celebrates 50 years March 1,1972

ST. JOHNS—In a little two-car garage on Church Street in 1922, Francis Karber decided to go,into the new cement block production industry.

He began producing the cement blocks with three employees as a sideline to his more prosperous contracting and building business.

La r ry Karber, right, owner of Karber Block of St. Johns discusses his production oper-. ation with Harold Wellman, Cent ra l National Bank president.

This Friday, there will be a 50-year Golden Anniversary open house at that same, site for the Karber Block Company. But there have been some changes during those golden years .

Larry Karber, 38, the founder's son, is the firm's owner. The company now employs 26 people and the plant has grown from the two-car garage to three acres at 917 Church Street.

During a normal production year in the early days amounted to about 30,000 units. Karber Block produced nearly 1,250,000 units in 1971.

The many changes in the landscape in S t Johns since 1922 bears witnes s to the growth of Karber Block. The Clinton County courthouse, the new St. Johns High School, St. J o s e p h ' s s c h o o l , C e n t r a l National Bank and Rodney B. Wilson Junior High School are but a few of the structures in the St. Johns community built with Karber Block products.

The company, which produces 67 different shapes of blocks has also been part of the housing boom in the area during the pastr three to four years . The firm enjoys an active market in the Clinton County area contained within a 40-mile radius. Clients include area r e t a i l e r s , contractors and individuals, with the company more than 100 contracts at all t imes.

The C h u r c h Street plan contains the complete cement block operation from raw material to a

And Miami Stone Karber Block Company almost wasn't. About 50 years ago Francis Karber, a successful build

ing contractor started making block and tile for use in his contracting activities and to supply builders with a new quality block. "

Today the sideline has grown to man-sized proportions and is recognized as one of the leading sourcesflf quality building blocks in Mid-Michigan.

Ovef the years the Company has grown from the small 3-man operation located in a two car garage to a large modern automated" plant employing twenty-six. Block production has increased from 30,000 units in the early years to over 1%,million in 1971. . A

Francis retired sdon after his eldest son, Larry, returned from the service and took an active :

role in the company. Since that time the company has stripped^producing tile, has started making Miami Stone, a

high quality building stone, as well as becoming more involved in the manufacture, sales and distribution of concrete products and related items to the construction industry.

Producing for and selling to contractors, retailers and do-it-yourselfers mostly within a 40-mile radius, Karbers operation is complete even to delivery and placement on the job site.

Karber, who has been involved with the cement block operation all of his life, is a lifelong resident of St. Johns and an army veteran. He is married and resides with his wife Joyce and their five children in the family home adjacent to the plant.

Friday will be a special day for the Karber firm, featuring an open house for the public from 1:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. with guided tours of the operation and will feature a grand prize drawing marking the 50th anniversary.

Wellman views blocks as they are prepared for the huge stockpile outside.

In 1957 Karbers Looked Like This Since that time Karbers have modernized and

automated the plant. Today 67 different block shapes can be produced.. .as many as 1,000 per hour. Karber's blocks are found in the court house, the high school . . . all through Clinton County.

Editorial Page

Is this representative government at work?

• We would like to congratulate the Clinton County ApportionmentvCommittee for acting, swiftly, on short notice, in presenting .the county with a new apportionment plan.

On the surface, the new plan seems in keeping with the various court rulings and appears to offer a fair solution to the re-evaluation of representing the shifting population, especially in the southern county.

However, there were several points brought out during the committee meetings that have gone uncorrected.

We understand the unfairness of recent actions by the Court of Appeals which ruled in January that boards of commissioners cannot apportion themselves and a special committee consisting of the county clerk, county t reasurer , prosecuting attorney, and chairmen of the two largest political parties in the county.

They were only given Until the first week of March to reach a formula' for redistricting or the courts would decide for them.

What resulted was the hard fact that the same plan approved in January, by the board of commissioners, was approved Thursday night by the apportionment committee. So, in a sense, the board of commissioners apportioned themselves with the approval of the apportionment committee.

There was not ample time to seek new plans as alternatives to the one passed by the commission. The courts should have had the foresight to give the county committees more time to work out a solution.

A more serious point was brought out by John Newman, Clinton County prosecuting attorney. He was the only member of the committee to vote against the Lankford Plan, claiming the formula was unconstitutional and cited several reasons. -

Newman said the plan does not fall in the guidelines of a one-man-one-vote concept. Instead some districts-are over-represented and some are under-represented. »The ratio is £1A26 to l, . ,with almost ^ljOpO^population,, difference .betWaen'-'thel-i^rge^stand smallersi^fsfclcli/in.tneî

, _ * . „ -* .H._ ur Kll-man plan. . * Bath Township was listed as the largest district with

nearly 4,800 people', while Duplain-Greenbush district contained less than 3,800. It would be easy to calculate that Bath Township will be growing at a fairly high rate during the next few years , while the small district may grow very little, if at all.

Thus, it will grow more and more out of proportion (and more unrepresentative) as the months go by.

Newman said the courts have ruled that anything over 1.1 to 1 would be of "doubtful constitutionality." Clearly, at 1.26 to 1, our new plan will not hold up in court, should even one citizen challenge the board.

In our view, it was the apportionment committee's duty to draw up new plans, even in the short time-limit afforded them. 0,f the five members, only one took time

' to present an alternative plan, which did not get to a vote. If the time allowed was too short, there is a provision

in the Public Act 261 (1966 as, amended) which indicates the committee can request additional time. That idea was not mentioned during the sessions.

We constantly hear the criticism of the young toward bur government as being unfair and unrepresentative in many instances. We hate to admit it, but in this case, the criticism is not unwarranted.

Like the iceberg, 90% of the legislative process lies beneath -the surface out of sight of the casual observer.

H.B. #4948 Is called the Inland Lakes and S t r e a m s Bill. It has the very honorable stated purpose of protecting the public trust in Michigan's waterways.

Essentially^ the bill would extend the same controls to all inland lakes and streams that are presently afforded to navigable waters. The Department of Natural Resources' would have to approve almost any kind of change in any sort of water-Way ih Michigan, • A permit would be re

quired for dredging, filling, channeling or in any other way modifying any existing

agricultural drainage ditches on private property.

Almost every one agrees that drastic action is needed to stop the many abuses of Michigan's n a t u r a l resources. A cottage owner does not have the private right to fill in.another hundred feet into the lake and the decision to dam up a stream is not a private one affected only the owner of the land through which the stream passes, - But still a number of us

are strongly resisting "the passage of the Bill. And herein llos the underwater portion of the iceberg.

The Bill includes DNR regulation of all agricultural drainage except those entirely on private land. In other words, almost every country ditch. )

The real fight in this re* gard is a battle between

agencies of government. Will the DNR or the Department of Agriculture and the Soil Conservation Division regulate agriculture in this regard? Agencies and Departments have their legislative champions.

Those of us representing agricultural areas generally prefer the regulation of the Department of Agriculture; It is NOT that they are more lenient, but that they have some understanding of our problems. Only with such understanding and expertise can problems be solved.

Also the Department of Agriculture has been conservationist-minded for a century. Only in the last 10 years has the DNR become hiuch more than a hunting and fishing group.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-The House last week authorized operating funds for the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) for fiscal years 1972 and 1973 totalling $5.3 billion.

.The House authorization omits the c o n t r o v e r s i a l child development program; however, It provides $500 million this year and $1 billion next to provide similar kinds of child development services through the established Head Start program.

The bill would also organize the F e d e r a l Government's legal services for the poor as an independent corporation. The purpose is to protect the services from political pressure.

And the legislation, among other things, requires that a third of the membership of community actionboards be made up of elected officials, unless they should decline to serve.

The House also approved a conference report extending sections of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act until the end of fiscal year 1972.

. And the Senate last week hurdled the last apparent obstacle to final approval of the Equal Employment Opportunity C o m rn i s sion (EEOC) legislation, agreeing to drop provisions giving the Commission the power to issue binding cease and desist orders in favor of a requirement that the Commission go through the courts in enforcing the laws against job discrimination.

At present, EEOC has no enforcement powers.

During the Senate debate, it was argued that giving EEbc the power to investigate, judge and punish would

be to make it prosecutor, Jury and judge all In one.

The House passed version of the legislation requires the EEOC to enforce the law through the courts.

, The agreement in the Senate last week is expected to pave the way for final action on, the bill this week, according to Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield.

The Senate also acted to approve—by vote of 81-0— legislation requiring the Secretary of state to send Congress the texts of all international, e x e c u t i v e agreements signed by the United States.

International e x e c u t i v e agreements, which unlike t r e a t i e s do not require Sena te approval, have increasingly been used to undertake major diplomatic an d military commitments to other nations. In some cases, C o n g r e s s has not been informed even of the existence of the agreement.

This week the House Is c o n s i d e r i n g the pural Development Act of 1972 and the Noise Control Act of 1972. Also to be considered are conference reports authorizing United S t a t e s financial contributions to three international, multilateral lending institutions over the next three years totalling $1.96 billion.

The banks are the World Bank's International Development Association, the Inter-American Development Bank * and the Asian Development Bank. '

Mental boondocks By TIM YOUNKMAN

Our good neighbors to the south of St. Johns—sometimes known as a Standard M e t r o p o l i t a n Area—are having some trouble coping with reality.

Our big city cousins not so fondly refer to our area as the boondocks,'but the city fathers in Lansing appear to be living in the mental boondocks. Normally, it wouldn't matter one way or the other to CHntonites, except that what Lansing does usually affects us in some form.

One good example is the Airport Authorlty-or lack of it. Lansing wants the airport and will get it, despite .the pleadings from DeWltt and Watertown townships of Clinton County, They are p o w e r l e s s against the Goliath's demands.

Another interesting ideal expressed recently by the Lansing City Council is their d e s i r e to exert certain moral standards on the community. In so doing, they have come close to (and may have In fact) violated our rights under the Constitution.

In the pas't few months s e v e r a l night clubs have featured go-go dancers sans the top part of their costumes. These clubs have done a booming business since the shows started, but with an unexpected result. One owner told me that his

business has been steadily falling off and he's thinking about dropping the dancers from the show.

However, Lansing officials have tried everything to close these, establishments, along with the adult book stores and the X-rated movie houses. Since legisl a t i n g morals Is not a l e g i t i m a t e functlonof government, it should be noted that what they are doing is more evil that what they are trying to stop.

The Lansing laws smack of censorship and if they can get away with these ordinances there is no telling what group will be the next victim of the whims of city hall. It's a safe campaign-no one should condemn them for taking ac t ion against these "dens of sin," as the clubs are sometimes called. It also shows the voters that city hall Is doing its job.

There Is a difference between a public display where the people have no choice but to view something that may be objectionable and a night club or t h e a t e r feature. No one jumps out from the shadows and drags in all of the customers or forces your car off the road and into a night club parking lot.

The people attending these things know ahead of time what they are going to see

and are not being held against their wills, a distinction unnoticed by city officials. ,

It may be disgusting to some people that they cannot impose their moral code on the entire community. The city counc i l is not p a s s i n g ordinances requiring topless dancers at the neighborhood church, that would be graphically alien to our concept of government* So too, it should not r e q u i r e a certain det a i l e d moral code at the !-neighborhood tavern—although few people see it that way.

The big c o n t r o v e r s y s t a r t e d when these ordinances were passed and e n f o r c e m e n t attempted. Public attention breeds interest, for a while, then it naturally subsides, as the t a v e r n owner suggested. That is the way this controversy would go If the city council would drop the subject and turn Its attention on something more urgent.

I would hate to see this, r e s t r i c t i v e thinking in government s p r e a d . Once the machinery is put in gear to step on people's toes it turns into a steamroller and becomes increasingly hard to stop. Its effect is visible, and we don't need that kind of government here.

Sex behind the bar Editor, Lapeer County Preis

I I By Jim Fitzgerald More and more bars are installing elec

tronic bartenders programmed to mix 36 basic drinks at the push of a button. . 'ITry. asking-it, who .won the 1927 .World Series," growled John Marra ttfe*1 disgruntled president of the; Detroit bartenders union. •• •••TJ-. .

It Is to laugh. Where has Marra been? He should stop In an old fashioned, non-electronic bar and ask the bartender who hit the crucial home run when the Tigers won the pennant on the last day of the 1945 season.

The bartender would smile at Marra, protrude her cleavage, wiggle her mini, and say, "Gee, I don't know. I wasn't born until 1951, Was it Gordie Howe?"

Whenever you see a male bartender today you know he is the owner and the regular bartender has run off with the driver of the Miller's High Life truck.

Long gone is the day of the wise old bartender who had lived It all and was fully qualified to advise a husband who hasn't been home in 3 weeks because his tie is caught in the bowling machine.

Joe Bartender in white shirt and bow tie has been replaced by Susie Sex in high heels and low neckline. It is nice that President Marra is concerned about his union members being replaced by push buttons. But where was his concern when it was decided that Susie's shape could sell more booze than Joe's philosophy?

This will probably get me in trouble with Women's Lib. But let's face it. Susie isn't

behind the bar because she makes a great martini. She's there to be ogled by men who will buy extra drinks to prolong the pleasure of watching her reach into the cooler.

"li 'Susie doesn't wear "hip1 huggers orTnfnfs";j

' because they're more c'6 hi for tabled She ' wears thehi because they're good'business. It's the corner tavern's condensed version of Hugh Heffner's bunny clubs. Anytimeyou see an ugly barmaid in a smock, she's the owner's wife.

Please don't think I'm knocking it. I enjoy the scenery just as much as the next lecher. But I cannot stifle my compassion for all the old Joe Bartenders who have been replaced by young dolls who use theirphysical charms to push Pabst, It doesn't seem fair.

Some of my fondest memories are of wise old bartenders who knew when to throw me out and when to let me sleep in the back booth. There was even one who used to drive me home and create a disturbance in the front yard to distract my parents while I sneaked in the back door.

It pains me to see such fine men put out of work by Susie Sex who might excite me temporarily but wouldprobablycallthecops if I got stuck in her bowling machine.

So President Marra doesn't get much of my sympathy as he wonders how to collect union dues from an electronic bartender. Better he should worry about more important things such as how to program a push-button bartender to answer the phone and tell my wife I just left.

Political science textbooks will tell you that legislators should never vote 'for a tax bill in an election year.

But there are times when a legislator would be shirking his responsibility if he followed that axiom.

This year is a good example — more so for the State House of Representatives than the Senate since all House members must stand for election while Senators probably have more than two years to go in their present terms. , .

A little more than a Week ago, the Senate, oy a vote u£ 24-10, decided to continue indefinitely the \i3 percent increase in the personal income tax (up -fronv 2.6%) passed last year. The measure (SB li78) how goes to; the House for concurrence.

Why is it necessary to continue thepersonalincometax at the- 3*9 percent level rather than letting it drop back to. 2t(S percent?

the Best explanation Is to consider what 'would happen

if last year's "temporary" increase is not extended. ' Tax experts say that ifthe additional 1.3 percent Is not extended, the general fund budget would have to be cut by $300 million during the 1972-73 fiscal year.

How would that affect state operations in the next 12 months?

"Chaos" would probably be the best word to describe It.

But, even greater than the impact on the state would be the impact locally ' among, school children, recipients of Aid to the Disabled, Aid to the Blind, Old Age Assistance, and alltheotherpeople who depend heavily upon state support, •

Actually, it Is almost impossible to be specific about the 'effects of a $300 million budget cut because there is no way of knowing how that cut would be spread out through the whole budget. '*• But it Is reasonably safe td say that since education ' gets the biggest ctnlrik of the budget i bur'sdhoois, colleg

es, and universities would be hit hardest.

'At present, education gets about 48 percent of the budget. Applylngthat percentage to the $300 million loss, educational services probably would lose close to $145 million.

That is just a little more than the $140 million.increase that Governor Will-lam G. Milliken had put into his proposed budget for next year. ; . ,

His, proposed budget for, next year — which probably would be completely washed out if last year's 1.3percent increase is allowed to lapse — includes, doubling vocational education grants from = $3 million to $6 million; an appropriation of $3,7 million to expand the amountof state funds for financial aid and special program support for disadvantaged * students in state colleges and universities; an equal amount to con-: tlnue authorized expansions In medical training pro--grams: at the,three majpr

Intolerance **0? w By REV. HUGH BANNINGA

Adult role important in child's health vision

LETTERS™ m EDITOR Don't give up fight

In the 10th Chapter of the Book of Acts we read about Pe ter ' s visit to Cornelius, the CentuVion.

This story points out how a man overcame the sin of intolerance. Peter ' s words provide a good text.

He said, "You yourselves now how unlawful it is for

a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean,8

There are many kinds of Intolerance. Let'sbeginwlth personality i n t o l e r a n c e . This is that vulgar snobbery by which we write off some people at once as "impossible". For example, have you ever gone* to a committee meeting hoping that a certain "so-and-so" might be sick or have an accident so he would have to miss the meeting? You feel that he is so Impossible that he would just foul up the group process.

How about the old *bum" we see downtown? His body is emitting various odors; he utters rough language. Would you invite him into your home or try to cultivate his friendship? You say, "Of course notl He's not my kindl what kind of idiotic question Is that?"

Now here ' s a thought to keep in mind. Don't you and I appear to God to be a little like the impossible committee member or the rough and smelly bum? If God is perfectly pure, utterly holy and has a beauty that we can't even put into words, then In comparison don't you and I appear to be closer to the l e v e l of that committee member or that bum?

A young southern clergyman was driving through the countryside of New York when he came upon a sign at a sid e road that told him.that there was a camp. At the bottom of the sign, he read a very unusual state-

s i g n r e a d , "THIS IS A CHRISTIAN HOTEL."

What a horrible thoughtl Christians being guilty of the sin of intolerance! Yes, even today in Clinton County Christians are guilty of the sin of religious intolerance. This is a nasty and bitter kind of intolerance, because It goes against the basic religious principle of loving God and your neighbor.

As a minister, I have listened to many people In our area "put down" other Christian churches. The reasons they give are many and varied, but the main argument always seems to be that "those other Christians won't be saved, because they don't worship and pray and study the Bible like I do."

Ballenger (continued from page 2Bl

statp universities; $11.6 million more in capital outlay to provide instructional facilities for the smaller schools, to renovate several older facilities and to expand medical programs; $1 million to restore the community schools program; and $18.5 million to assure pension benefit paymentstopre-Constitutional Convention retirees of the two school employee retirement systems.

Financial experts est imate such a cutback would reduce the present average school aid payment of $365 per student by $45. This would amount to a cut in state aid to local schools of 12,3 percent which would d ras tically cut local staffs and, in many cases, call for half-day school sessions.

The cost of similar cuts on 40,000 Old Age Assistance cases and 40,000 Aid to the Disabled cases is anybody's guess, but it would be catastrophic.

This does not take into effect all the people getting

Another argument leveled at the C h r i s t i a n s in the "other* churches is that they are hypocrites. The charge is that "they don't practice what they preach."

T h e r e is nothing worse than Christians of different churches competing for, the salvation of God. There is nothing w o r s e than the thought that "my church has the most direct pipeline to the Almighty Himself."

This kind of thinking has to stop if the Church today is ever going to exert a positive influence on t h e world. Christians ought to be putting aside petty differences and coming together in love and friendship so that they present a unified witness to the world.

I'm happy to say that we have a good start In St. Johns. Sunday, Feb. 20 I participated in such a com-, ing together.

The afternoon's discussion was enlightening for all who attended. We had an opportunity to talk about, our own point of view and at the same time to listen to other points of view. The interesting thing about the discussion was that we all agreed on the basic fundamental p r i n c i p l e of the Christian religion. T h a t principle Is that the individual must first accept Jesus -Christ as Lord and Savior and constantly grow in the knowledge of what this means for him. Then inevitably will follow unending good works of love and charity to those around him. This is what 'Christian Witness in the Community" is all about.

Personality intolerance a n d religious intolerance are u g l y monsters and should be done away with. Let 's see what we can do In the years ahead to stamp out those ugly devils.

Dean's list ment. The rsign ^said, "This ^medicaidâymentsand^hps^ J i n R l / ( ( r f u f l „ u , ) i t j » is a.Christian Camp,"

As he cdntinued his drive, he noticed that all the camps in that area were "Christian" camps, as well as the resort hotels. When the minister reached his destination, he asked a retired preacher in that town what the signs meant. The old minister told him, "What those signs really mean is NO JEWS ALLOWED."

The old minister continued by saying that the p res -sent signs were a refine-' ment of the signs used in the early days. In the early days the resort hotel had been run by the chief steward in his church. The old minister had called attention to the earlier signs as a little too blunt, so the man agreed to change it. The sign originally read, "NO JEWS OR DOGS ALLOWED." Now the

Nor does it take into effect the operations of our Corrections Department, just when Governor Milliken has called for avast upgrading of our antiquated prison system.

Loss of the $300 million would mean lesser but still drastic slashes in such departments as mental health, state police, agriculture, labor, natural r e s o u r c e s , commerce, civil rights, public health and all other major department of state government.

These are someofthefactors legislators must take into account when voting for continuation of a tax at a time when almost everybody, legislators included, feels he's overburdened by taxes already.

ITHACA — During "Save Your Vision" Week (March 1-7), Dr. Ahmad Aurang, director of the Mid-Michigan District Health Department, reminds parents of their role in insuring good vision for their children.

"A child does not know how well he should see ," says Dr. Aurang. "He may have blurred vision, or see double, or use just one eye, and still not complain —because he doesn't know better. Youngsters must rely on adults for good eyesight."

Fortunately, Michigan law since 1968 has required that p re-school children must pass the Department of Public Health vision screening test, or parents must show proor that the entering kin-dergartner's eyes have been examined by a qualified pe r son.

In the tri-County Mid-Michigan Health District, three vision technicians each year spend almost the entire school year screening p r e schoolers and students In the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh grades. In Gratiot County, the screening is done by Mrs. Helen Rayburn; in Clinton County by Mrs, Marceda Harper; and in Montcalm County by Mrs , Donna Williams.

In screening pre-schoolers, the technicians use a Good-Lite instrument,which displays the letter E in relation to clouds, grass, a rabbit and a flower. Starting with the first graders, the technicians use the box-like Titmus instrument through which the students peer at slides.

THE SCREENING TEST can detect three main weaknesses: such muscular imbalance as strabismus, or crossed eyes; myopia, or nearsightedness; and hyperopia, or farsightedness. Students w h o s e tests show weaknesses on the first screening are rftscreened in a week to 10 days. If a student's visual defects are confirmed at this time, it is recommended that the pa r ents ,take Jhim^'HeVj\d ' |he eye doctor of their choice,

Dr. AurangJ reminds parents that the best time for visual care is early in the pre-school years, when eye defects can still be corrected with best results, Such visual defects as crossed eyes or amblyopia ("lazy eye") can lead to permanent loss of vision in the affected eye if they are not detected and treated preferably by the age of six. Contrary to popular opinion, children do not outgrow crossed eyes, Dr. Aurang warns. Eye exercises,

Why do the vision technicians keep following the same youngsters every other year from their pre-school days through the eleventh grade? According to Dr. Aurang, a child's eyes grow as he grows, so periodic regular eye examinations are a must for all youngsters, A child may have normal vision one year and need glasses the next. One in four children of school age needs eye care , he adds.

development in preservation of our land and water. We can and will meet any new more stringent standards that will be met by the rest of society.

Dear Editor, I have just come from the

Clinton County Zoning meeting, which was held Feb, 22.

It makes me sick to think that Clinton County turned down the proposal to have a r e c r e a t i o n a l area on Klnley Road, How long is it going to be before t h i s C o u n t y has any kind of progress that will be beneficial to everyone. It seems a shame that this County feels that a DUMP will be more beneficial to the people than a $500,000 recreational area.

Why is it that every time a program that would bring revenue to this County, such as a big shopping center, a hospital clinic and now a camping, swimming, horseback riding, snowmoblling and racing area is vetoed by a very few. Why not let the PEOPLE have their say in what THEIR town should have.

I hope Mr, Bertram, Mr, Peters , Mr. Hartman and Mr. Grey do not give up on their very worthwhile proj

ect. I am sure that there a re many people that would stand behind them.

Lets hear from some of1

them. Thank you, RICH HOLLIS St. Johns High School

— Bits and Pieces You have to

start somewhere By HAROLD SCHMALTZ

Did you evdrwonderabout the background of a Broadway or Hollywood star? How they got their start? What inspired them? W h a t they had that you don't? Acting can bring forth many questions. There a re actually quite a few folks walking the streets today that have suppressed desires to have been on the stage but just never 'did anything about it. Maybe they didn't have the confidence to think they could doit. Maybe they never really tried, Nevertheless, it is a shame to have persons possessing talent for acting to go through life never realizing their ambitions.

This is where community theater comes in. Involvement certainly doesn't guarantee stardom nor does it guarantee personal success but it does provide an outlet to give it a go. why not?

MANY AREAS HAVE their own community theaters. G r a t i o t County has their Gratiot County P l a y e r s organization and G r a n d L e d g e has their group, Lansing has its Civic Players and lo and behold, St. Jphns has its group too. They're known as the "First Nighters". Have you heard of them? Have you seen their plays? if your answer to both of these question's is no, then perhaps you'd be interested in hearing about them.

The Firs t Nighters made their debut to Clinton res i dents in February of 1964. it all began as an offshoot of a recreation committee headed by Roger Kowalski, It seems that certain funds from the recreation budget was a l l o t t e d to begin a theater group. In the beginning the group met in the "old freight depot" and I understand the Steel Hotel was used to house flats and various theatrical equlp-

.T'TOriX, 'illAirX

ment. Upon o r g a n i z i n g themselves they presented their first play, "See How They Run" in January of 1965 and in May of the same year presented, *The Man Who Came to Dinner".

Like many theater groups, the First Nighters have been plagued with a place to call "Home Sweet Home". After leaving the freight depot, they met in the Steel Hotel. After that, the C l i n t o n National Bank, upstairs at the American'Legion Hall, in private homes and most recently, their present home above Boron's in St. Johns.

I N C I D E N T A L L Y , I UNDERSTAND the recreation funds used to get the group started were eventually paid back t h r o u g h successes on early plays." Very commendable, don't you think? And that's not the only thing the group have paid back either. I understand back in 1966,theFirst Nighters gave two scholarships to attend a 2-week theater workshop at Olivet College to two local high school students. This practice had to be discontinued because of increased costs. However, their phllanthrop-'

ic endeavors did not end there. They have given awards to 4-H members at their spring talent shows and have given cash gifts to the local high school drama club, I understand there are plans by the group to sponsor a Soap Box Derby car this year. Sounds like a going group, doesn't it?

Some of their activities ha,ve included attendingper-fbrmances given by other local drama c l u b s and theater groups and occasionally attend out of town performances in Detroitand Traverse City,

The First Nighters have been known to put on small skits for various groups and are always working on new skits to provide local entertainment. Any way you look at it, it looks like Clinton County does have an outlet for persons wanting theat-. rlcal involvement. Here's your perfect chancel And don't think for a minute that you can't do it. I've seen many who thought they couldn't and they did It and they're still doing it. Give yourself a chance and check out the First Nighters. You may be missing alot of fun.

Home ec: not just home duty Byj PATTY NOEKER P-W High School

PEWAMO - WESTPHALIA —Today's Home Economic courses are much more than Just cooking and sewing. It p r e p a r e s us for outside careers as well as housework. The Pewamo-West-phalia Home Ec* course is a good example of this.

Home Ec. I and II are more concerned with housework. This class is taken by girls to prepare them to be

better hpmemakers. They learn how to sew, cook, embroider, canning, Menu Planning, flower arrangement; many of the household duties they will encounter in later years.

Consumers Education is offered to boys and girls in their junior or senior year. Through this course the students learn to take care of money matters and taking care of their basic needs.

If marriage is in your

future plans then Home and Family Living will be of great value to you. This course is the answer to many of the students' questions about dating and married life.

Home Planning and Furnishings is a great help to students who plan to go on to Interior Decorating after they graduate. The class frequently go on field t r i p s to mobile homes,

antique s tores ,and other places to get ideas about decorating.

Child Development is the last of the Home Ec. courses offered at Pewamo-West-phalia High School. It concerns the bringing up of children and their emotional and social problems.

So as you can see Home Ec. can be used in many other fields besides Home-making,

LANSING - "JFirm but fair" is the way officers for the Department of Natural

'Resources are enforcing Michigan's new comprehensive snowmobile law.

As George M. Dahl, the DNR's Law Enforcement Chief, explains It:

"This new law provides a greater measure of safety and sanity for everyone affected by snowmobiling and, to that end, our officers

•are making an all-out effort lto uphold its regulations. At the same time, they are treating each violation within the spirit of the law, weighing their action on the basis of conditions surrounding each case,"

The DNR's enforcement efforts in recent weeks indicate that many snowmobil-ers are not fully Mupw on the new law, and the following points are brought out by Dahl in hopes of clarifying this situation and reducing enforcement problems.

"One of our main concerns," he explains, "is to make it a well-known fact among sonwmobilers that the new law lays down some tight restrictions against operating their machines on roadways and road shoulders, both for their own protection "and the safety of motorists' using these thoroughfares."

In the Upper and northern Lower Peninsulas, snowmo-bilers may not run their machines on roadways or road shoulders, except to cross bridges or culverts, or to cross highways not classified as limited a c c e s s routes. They may, however, operate their machines at the extreme right' of road rights - of - way (unplowed highway portions) in northern Michigan as long as they move with the flow of road traffic.

In the southern Lower Peninsula, the new law prohibits the operation of snowmobiles anywhere within road rights-of-way, as well as on roadways or road shoulders, says Dahl.

Asêxceptions td this rule, showntobilesrmay 'be'ldaded and unloaded at southern rights-of-way when it is necessary to gain access to an area adjacenttoahigh-way, or to cross a highway other than a limited access route. In those cases, snow-mobilers must cross road rights-of-way by the most direct route.

Throughout the state, snowmobiles may be run on snow-plowed county roads only when these routes are marked open to such operations by local county road commissions

On another i m p o r t a n t point, conservation officers are taking a firm line against the operation of unregistered snowmobiles. The snowmobile registration requirement is not new; it has been in effect for the ,last three years.

"As a result," reasons Dahl, "there is absolutely no excuse for anyone operating an unregistered snowmobile." However , the DNR's Law Chief estimates

CITY OF DEWITT Ordinance No.'73

AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING MINIMUM STANDARDS GOVERNING THE CONDITION AND MAINTENANCE OF DWELLINGS; ESTABLISHING MINIMUM STANDARDS GOVERNING SUPPLIED UTILITIES AND FACILITIES AND OTHER PHYSICAL THINGS AND CONDITIONS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THAT DWELLINGS ARE sXFE, SANITARY, AND FIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION; ESTABLISHING MINIMUM STANDARDS GOVERNING THE CONDITION OF DWELLINGS OFF ERED FOR RENT; FIXING CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF OWNERS AND OCCUPANTS OF DWELLINGS, AND THE CONDEMNATION OF DWELLINGS UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION; DEMOLITION OF SUCH DWELLINGS AND FKING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION; OF THE CITY OF DEWITT, STATE OF MICHIGAN, AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION f. ADOPTION OF HOUSING CODE. That a certain document, three (3) copies of which

are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of DeWitt being marked and designated as "The Basic Housing Code, the most recent edition, as published by The Building Officials Conference of America, Inc., be and is hereby adopted as the Housing Code of the City of DeWitt In the state of Michigan; for the control of buildings and structures as herein provided; and each and all of the regulations of the Basic Housing Code, are hereby referred to, adopted and made a part thereof, as if fully set out in this ordinance.

DATE OF EFFECT. * This Ordinance shall become effective ûponthedate of publication March 1, 1972.

that one of every three snowmobiles being used In Michigan today is not registered.

Dahl reminds snowmobil-ers that they must carry their certificate of registration with them when they are operating t h e i r machines. He also points out that citations—not warnings —will be issued to those who fail to have the required i d e n t i f i c a t i o n numbers showing on their registered snowmobiles.

The DNR's enforcement activities show that there is some confusion over the new regulation which prohibits minors under 12 from operating snowmobiles without the direct supervision of adults.

"On this point, we have taken 'direct supervision' to mean that these youngsters must be under the visual observation of adults," explains Dahl. Thus, as conservation officers are enforcing this rule, adults are not required to be riding on the same snowmobiles as minors under their charge.

In the meantime, the DNR is seeking an opinion from the Attorney General's office to clarify the legal Interpretation of "direct supervision" for young snow-mobilers.

Dahl cautions parents that youths under 12 may not, as operators of snowmobiles, cross highways or streets. Also, the new law has made parents and legal guardians of these minors legally responsible for any rules which

the youths jnay break while operating snowmobiles.

Under the new law, young- . • sters 12 to 15 years old will be required by next January 1 to hold snowmobile safety certificates before they can run snowmobiles" without adult supervision.

Dahl urges these youngsters tq contact their local sheriff's departments, 4-H leaders, Michigan International Snowmobile Association Club, sportsmen's organizations, or schools to find out where and when they can enroll in a snowmobile safety training program.

Other Important points of -the new law spell out that snowmobilers maynotoper-ate their macriines:

—at a speed greater than reasonable and proper for conditions; while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs; from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour be fo re sunrise without a lighted headlight and talllight; within 100 feet of any person not on a snowmobile or within 100 feet of a fish shanty, except at the minimum speed required to maintain forward motion;

--without a good working muffler from which noise emission does not exceed 86 DBA; and within 100 feet of a dwelling between midnight and 6 a.m., except at the minimum speed required to keep the machine moving ahead.

Dahl adds that it is a violation of the new law to operate snowmobi les upon lands which are fenced or posted against trepassingj or * upon holdings of landowners who directly tell snowmobilers that their property is off limits.

In southern Michigan, permission of landowners Is required to run snowmobiles on farm lands, farm wood-lots, and platted property.

The hearing, designed to draw out new testimony, will als o focus on the same set of recommended rules which were discussed at the last public hearing in Lansing on Dec. 1.

Basically, those rules call for use controls and environmental safeguards to protect natural values on sections of the Au Sable, Manistee, Pine, and Pere Marquette rivers where the greatest need for such measures has been dramatized by heavy, conflicting pressures.

Construction starts on retirement center

EAST LANSING - Construction Rot underway last week on Burcham Hills Retirement Center, a five-story, 242-resldence unit r e t i r e m e n t complex at Burcham Drive and Park Lake Road In East Lansing.

The lull service, non-denominational c e n t e r , scheduled to open Sept, 1, 1973, is a project of United Church Manors, Inc., a nonprofit corporation organized six years ago under auspices of the Michigan Conference of the United Church of Christ.

Workmen from the Christman Company of Lansing, the principal contractor, began the huge earth-moving job today on the scenic 55-acre site as several officials of the Center looked on.

Kermit V. Ohl of Lansing, who Is president of the board of Trustees of United Church Manors, said the center, which will cost approximately $8,000,000, is the largest single humanitarian building p r o j e c t to get underway in Michigan this year.

"The start of construction," Ohl said, "marks a significant milestone in a Christian mfssion started in 1966 when several leaders of the United Church of

Christ proposed providing housing for the elderly."

"Burcham Hills, with its 70-bed health and therapy center, to be available to the Lansing area community at large, will fill a rapidly growing need for services to the e lder ly , " Ohl commented.

The Rev. Duane N. Vore, conference minister and executive officer of the Michigan Conference of the United Church of Christ, who was present for the construction start up, declared:

"Burcham Hi l l s , asa commitment of the United Church of Christ, will be a modern e x p r e s s i o n of Christian concern for older people of every faith as It will offer a full, purposeful and rewarding way of life in a congenial environment and pleasant surroundings."

Residency at the Center is open to men and women 65 years of age or older. Officials of the Board announced that applications are now being received.

Sixteen different styles of apartments are available, all with private bath and closet space, individually controlled'heat and air conditioning, and special safety and convenience equipment. Residence is via a life lease contract which guarantees

life-long occupancy of living quarters, , plus complete medical care, if needed. A monthly service fee for each resident covers food, utilities, cleaning, maintenance and flat laundry.

The 70-bed Extended Care Facility, which will adjoin the Center, will be certified by all regulatory health a g e n c i e s and will be approved for Medicare ,officials stated.

It will be staffed by registered nurses and aides to p r o v i d e convalescent or chronic care on a continuing basis. In addition to a physical therapy department for corrective and preventive health care, the Center will offer Intermediate care services for residents who are not acutely ill, it was explained.

O t h e r s serving on t h e United Church Manors board with Mr. Ohl are Mrs. Harriet Scherer, the Rev. Robert E. Briggeman, Roy Manty, Fredrik Marin, Dr. Frederick C. Swartz, the Rev. Carl Staser, C. Rowland Stebbins, and Raymond Steeb, all of the Lansing area.

The deve lopmen t of Burcham Hills Retirement Center is being handled by the John Gard Companies of Ann Arbor.

An ounce of prevention

The first American life style that most of us are engrossed in today encourages us to eat more but lighter meals and to take less time to prepare them. Food processors are getting on the bandwagon and have come up with a wide variety of frozen foods, often in heat-able bags, f u l l - m e a l s , snacks, pop-ups (toaster foods) and individually packaged servings to fill the new needs. These new built-in convenience foods cost the consumer more but most Americans seem to be willing to pay for them and the increased prices are contributing to the food and g r o c e r y industry's large volume.

The higher price tag on the new processed items is the result of additional research, development and packaging and little, if any, of it will be received by the producer of the raw product, the farmer.

Food stores account for over one-fifth of the U^. retail sales, nearing $87 billion in 1971 and expec ted to exceed $97 billion by 1975.

Other innovations in the food industry include new

diet foods, health foods, eth-. nic foods and imitations,

Soup companies are expanding their lines, concentrating on new textures rather than new flavors. In addition, foo marketing is getting faste' and more efficient wit" greater speed in produt movement through mo frequent deliveries, assu ing freshness.

Concern over the quality drinking water has led more shelf space beii turned over to bottled sprir water. The bottled wate business, peaking toward 'a $100 million annual volume, is just getting started in relation to long-term potenT tial. It has been reported that quart-size bottles of water sell at higher prices than milk and soft drinks. Water prices range from 34 to 45 cents for domestic water to 80 or 90 cents for imported variety.

All of these new food Items assist today's housewife in feeding her family, but increase her grocery bill and add to the American refuse heap. Convenience and individual packages are adding to the billions of bottles, cans, and tons of plastic and paper.

Snowmobiles, mental health By: Jose' J. Llinas, M.D. Director of Community Mental Health for Clinton, Eaton and Ingham

Why would psychiatrists be i n t e r e s t e d in snowmobiles?

Mental health people are curious about most anything that has an impact in the lives of Individuals,

There Is an old joke, stating that a psychiatrist is a fellow who goes* to a burlesque show —and watches the audience.

Snowmobiles have had a tremendous impactonwinter leisure time; a recent radio program by the Canadian network said .nQt long ago. t h a t the-einUre sâsoln^s'" habits in the Canadian ' North had changed with the introduction of the machine. For one thing, nobody expected the t r e m e n d o u s growth in the industry, which went from a production of a few thousand a year, to hundreds of thousands, almost overnight.

A WORp OF CAUTION "Snowmobiling can be

great fun," declared a Michigan physician, Dr. Larry J. Sell, from Manistique, "but only if the person driving one of these snow machines realizes that its improper use may have t r a g i c results."

Dr. Sell spoke at a scientific meeting of the American Association for Automotive M e d i c i n e , as re

ported In the medical magazine "Medical Tribune,"

"We all know that with the increased number of snow machines," Dr. Sell went on,

, "the number of injuries and, deaths from this sport has increased."

With more than 1,700,000 snowmobiles in use th i s year, every effort shduld be made to instruct people in their proper use.

Medica l evaluation of snowmobile accidents indicates that 46% of the injuries occur from the ankle to the knee.

And this type of injury is definitely related to a condition of insufficient snow dep:th.

Such accidents are usually caused by striking unseen objects, such as rocks, stumps, ice chunks antt chuckholes.

OTHER INJURIES The second most frequent

type of lesion is caused by braking, where the driver is . forced into the upper edge of the windshield and handlebars and cowling.

This kind of accident may result in serious injury to the face, neck, shoulders and chest.

Contrary to what many people think back injuries caused by the machine are very rare, less than 5%,

And Dr. Sell feels that if excessive jumping can be eliminated, and drivers can be taught the proper riding position, back fractures would be reduced further to less than one per cent.

OUNCES OF PREVENTION —Be sure your snowmo

bile is In top notch mechanical condition before you use it.

—Always use the buddy system.

—Use a helmet, goggles and/or visor to prevent injuries from twigs, stones and flying debris.

—Avoid long scarves, as they have been known to get caught in the moving parts of the machine.

—Know the terrain. —Know the weather.

—Understand and obey the local laws and ordinances, and respect "no trespassing" signs.

—Drowning is one of the major causes of snowmobile fatalities. When not familiar with the ice thickness or the water currents, avoid Ice-covered areas.

—Happy Snowmobilingl

Property tax: shocking

Rep. Douglns Tre?be 87th District

One of the hazards of this olltlcal business i s assum-g you know how the people u represent feel about a yen subject. It comes as shock, sometimes, when

find out you don't. case in point is the

e s t i o n of revising the ncing of our p u b l i c

ication system by remov-it from the property tax

se and shifting the burden a state-wide income tax. s is the Governor's pro-

im and a decent mailing I lent to over 8,000 homes in? the 87th District tried to summarize that plan and invited comments—either pro or con—from you.

I confess the response has surprised me. There is no question that I have been

arking under the impression t h a t almost all the people in our area would support this proposal. After all, our areas are among the poorer in the state In'terms of equalized valuation behind

ich pupil and thus, we must tax ourselves on the high side in order to support our local school systems. It was to be expected that residents of C l i n t o n and Shiawassee Counties would welcome the opportunity for relief from that property tax burden.

And, generally speaking, they do. Early returns from the questionnaire Indicate a better than two to one r e sponse In support of the new program. Many people have Indicated a willingness to

irculate petitions in support of this plan and to assure Its being put on the ballot this year for a vote of the people of the state.

But the real surprise Is that the sentiment is not even more In favor of theplanand the concern that almost all respondents h a v e shown— both those for and against— for the retaining of local control of our school systems. Almost all of the negative responses and a good share of the favorable ones included expressions of concern about the loss of any local determination in school matters . In fact, from re viewing the replies, I have to conclude that people of the 87th District equate the property tax with local control and the proposed plan with state control and are weighing their support on the basis of whether they want property t a x relief more than they fear state control of the local education system.

I'm not sure what has brought about this increasing concern on the part of the public over control of their schools. It could be the recent furor over busing or it also could be a lot of other things which have made us all aware of the control the State Board of Education is trying to exert over local school operations. Certainly, there was no more unpopular decision on the part of that Board than the effort last fall to move into the control of interscholastic athletics. But there are also textbook guidelines, statewide testing programs and other areas of direct and implied control being exercised at the state level.

It 's not that all the programs of the State Board of

Education are bad) it Is only that It seems to many local school people and citizens that decisions affecting local school operations are being made unilaterally at the state level. And, they want to see a stop to It.

The basis for this control by the State Board of Education is the Constitution of Michigan. Article VIII, Section 3 says, in brief, that "general supervision over all public education. . ,1s vested In a state board of education". I think it is a valid concern of those who oppose the state financing plan that this "general supervision" will b e c o m e greater and greater if almost complete dependence for money Is on state-raised taxes.

So, that is why I have become a supporter of another amendment to the Constitution. This one would give constitutional status to the local and intermediate distr ict s c h o o l boards and establish them as integral parts of the educational picture. It puts the "general supervision of all public education* jointly in the hands of t he three educational groups—local, intermediate and state boards—and gives the legislative authority to establish the functions of each.

It is my hope that this proposal-will be approved by the voters before we are asked to vote on the changing of our school financing program. In fact, I am convinced, from the results of my little questionnaire, that without this kind of assurance -of local control, the p r o p o s a l to substitute a state-wide income tax plan for the local property tax is on shaky ground.

Losing identity Dear Sir:

Is St. Johns prepared to lose its unique identity and flavor tobecomejustanother suburb of L a n s i n g like Mason, Holt, Grand Ledge and Williamston?

-Our community and Its orderly growth is threatened by a rapid population growth resulting from high density a p a r t m e n t developments being planned or constructed in the northeast, north and southwest s e c t i o n s of St, Johns. The proliferation of proposed apartments added to those already in existence will result in a population increase within two to three years equivalent to that projected for 1980 in the Community Development plan.

The question all citizens of St. Johns should ask themselves is: Are we ready for this rapid growth? Are vital city services adequate to cope with this growth? Are our schools? Are we ready to accept the sociological problems of rapid growth?

S a n i t a r y faculties are barely adequate to handle the existing load and the city is already faced with a large bonded indebtedness to expand the p r e s e n t sewage treatment plant tomeetstate requirements.

Our school system is at or near capacity and the projection for the next two to three years shows severe overloading of facilities by students already within the school district. Traffic is increasing and many streets are not adquate to handle existing peak traffic.

How much in additional tax will St. Johns citizens pay to subsidize high density apartment construction within our community?. The contributions of apartment dwellers will be only a fraction of the cost their added stress will place on our public services and schools.

We believe that now-is the time for St. Johns residents . to take the necessary action to determine the type of community they" want. We suggest that all citizens at-" tend the public hearing on rezoning that will be held at 8:00 p.m. pn March 13,1972 in the Municipal Building.

Thank you, TOM COLEMAN EDWARD MKULA
