Attendance Records For Grade S C I MO I Students Second Grade students of Lowell Public schools who were neither absent or tardy during the first semester were Patricia Hocken- berry, David Rogers and Jacque- lyne Shores in Mrs. Williams' class and Robert Connors and Kirk Jef- feries In Miss E. Arehart's rrom. Seven Third graders also attained this fine record. They are Ardlst Stauffer, Jacky % aurgcon. Jim Fish- er, Caorl Jean'Bailey, Jane Ellis, Derroll Kelley and Gary Kropf. Fo»ir Fourth grade students, Ter- ry Dawson, Edith Fuller, Marjorie Graham and • Dennis Sis son were neither absent or tardy during the first semester; this grade also has 15 students with perfect records for the last six-week marking period. Donald DlUy was the only 6th grader with a perfect record for the semester, but nine other fellow students were not absent or tardy during the last marking period. The seventh grade records In- clude Elsie Backstrom, Marlbeth Dabakey, Tom Evans, Sandra Gibbs, Larry Keiser, Dariene May- ou and Allen Seeley in 7 (2) and Sheran Flynn, Candace Rich, San- dra Steal, Craig Starkweather and David Thaler in ^ (3). military, mutual security, atomic energy, and stockpiling. We can hope and pray that world affairs may soon be less strained so It Is possible to reduce this sum and divert portions of it into more con- structive channels of human en- deavor. Another ingredient of the budget is that of annual interest payments which total U per cent of our vast national debt or $7 billion. It seems logical enough that reductions in the national debt would serve to reduce this heavy annual interest load and thereby make smaller budgets possible. This of course would permit a legltmate federal tax reduction. Social Security Change This past week I Introduced a bill to change social security provisions which would allow a widow with minor children to earn up to $3,600 a year without losing survivorship benefits. Presently the earning limit is $1,200 a year which hardly seems adequate for a woman in such an unfortunate position to pro- vide for her children. My bill has been reierred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for consideration. Your Con- gressman was prompted to intro- duce this legislation after talking with a widow with children at Bel- mont last fall while conducting my "mobile office" tour. By Gerald R. Ford M. C.

Mrs. Johnson called Police Chief Steph- ens about this later, when the girl's foster parents started calling neighbors and friends about Faith's disappearance. Mr. Stephens then called the girl's foster parents, and learned that George had stopped at their Elmdale home, and told Faith her boy friend was out In the car and wanted to see her. She had gone outside with him. got in the car. and they had driven away.

After they started driving the girl told police, he asked her to go to Little Rock, Ark., to be mar- ried. She said she refused and they drove aimlessly for a while and then headed toward US-16. On a side road, she said, they stopped while he unloaded something from the trunk of the auto.

Attendance Records For Grade S C I M O I Students
Second Grade students of Lowell Public schools who were neither absent or tardy during the first semester were Patricia Hocken-berry, David Rogers and Jacque-lyne Shores in Mrs. Williams' class and Robert Connors and Kirk Jef-feries In Miss E. Arehart's rrom. Seven Third graders also attained this fine record. They are Ardlst Stauffer, Jacky%aurgcon. Jim Fish-er, Caorl Jean'Bailey, Jane Ellis, Derroll Kelley and Gary Kropf.
Fo»ir Fourth grade students, Ter-ry Dawson, Edith Fuller, Marjorie Graham and • Dennis Sis son were neither absent or tardy during the first semester; this grade also has 15 students with perfect records for the last six-week marking period.
Donald DlUy was the only 6th grader with a perfect record for the semester, but nine other fellow students were not absent or tardy during the last marking period.
The seventh grade records In-clude Elsie Backstrom, Marlbeth Dabakey, Tom Evans, Sandra Gibbs, Larry Keiser, Dariene May-ou and Allen Seeley in 7 (2) and Sheran Flynn, Candace Rich, San-dra Steal, Craig Starkweather and David Thaler in ^ (3).
military, mutual security, atomic energy, and stockpiling. We can hope and pray that world affairs may soon be less strained so It Is possible to reduce this sum and divert portions of it into more con-structive channels of human en-deavor.
Another ingredient of the budget is that of annual interest payments which total U per cent of our vast national debt or $7 billion. It seems logical enough that reductions in the national debt would serve to reduce this heavy annual interest load and thereby make smaller budgets possible. This of course would permit a legltmate federal tax reduction.
Social Security Change This past week I Introduced a bill
to change social security provisions which would allow a widow with minor children to earn up to $3,600 a year without losing survivorship benefits. Presently the earning limit is $1,200 a year which hardly seems adequate for a woman in such an unfortunate position to pro-vide for her children.
My bill has been reierred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for consideration. Your Con-gressman was prompted to intro-duce this legislation after talking with a widow with children at Bel-mont last fall while conducting my "mobile office" tour.

Gyp Field Seed Artists at Wort
Buyers of field seeds, particular-j ly oats and wheat, a re being victim-ized by peddlers of littlr known out-of-state companies who sell at fancy prices varieties uncommon to Mich-igan with an a g m m e n t with the grower that the firm will buy from him or offer to sell the grower's crop.
Here Is how It works. The ped-I dler usually approaches the grower
with a sales pitch about some new variety of seed that has enjoyed some success in some other area in the north or in Canada. He may have clippings and l i terature to prove how luccessful this variety has been elsewhere. Not always, however, are varieties that prove excellent elsewhere suited to Michi-gan's nearly 6 degree range In la-titude o r soil variations.
The peddler does not dwell long on this nor does he say too much about the fact that the price he is asking is all out of proportion to the prevailing price for seed of proven productivity In Michigan. Suitable varieties a re listed by the Michigan Crop Improvement asso-ciation, and county agricultural agents usually know what they are.
They called General Jackson "Old Hickory" because, among i other things, he had survived small i pox, tuberculosis, malaria , rheuma-1 tlsm, dysentery and a bullet under his h e a r - and yet lived to the age of 78 and was going strong up to the last.

He says, however, there is no way of predicting when such systems would become economical-ly feasible. There is enough sur-face a rea available on a house roof that would make the conversion practical, and there is no doubt about the abundance of the raw material, so it seems that if there is a large potential market for It. ways and means of production will be found to make it economically feasiable.

THE light is red and you're ready.
It flashes green and you go-but quick.
And that's when you discover the Number One news about Buick's new Dynafiow . . .
That it gives you brilliant new getaway response for city traffic at only part throttle -even before you switch the pitch of this airplane-principled transmission. (And think of the big gas savings that means!)
Next comes the Number Two discovery-out on the road.
For here-still without switching the p i tch-you have plenty more nimble acceleration to surge or spurt ahead, to climb hills, to do with almost effortless ease all the things nor-mally called for by highway driving.
But comes an emergency—the need to get out of a tight s p o t - a n d you discover tne Number Three n e w s . . .
That you can do what a pilot does. That you can switch the pitch of your Dynajlou) blades -just by flooring the pedal And that you get, instantly, a full-power take-off from cruising pace—an electrifying burst of acceleratioo-the most thrilling safety measure on four wheels today.
Tliis is performance too good to pass up — and you really ought to try it.
It's performance sparked by the whis-
pered might of big new 322-cubic-inch V8 engines raised to record highs in power and compression.
It's performance that goes with the best ride yet, the best handling yet, the best interiors yet, the best styling yet-and, literally, with the best Buick yet.
Come in and sec-and be shown-and learn, in the doing, about prices that make these '56 Buicks the best buy yet.
*New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynafiow is the only Dynafiow Buick builds today. It 4t standard on RooJtnuslCf, Super and Century optional at modest extra cost on the Special.

C L Ht t rnw thows how hf and C. I WUdon. another fMeaidl hortlculturlat at Michigan State Unlveraity, made a aecond spring for petunias—chemically The scientists were able to make petunia plants blossom again in the greenhouse long after (lowering had stopped in the fall. TIBA. th« chemical they sprayed on the pe-tunias. can be used In tht spring to boost the Uoasoui date. too. This new find, they say. holds many posalbilltfcs for speeding up plant breeding and production (M.8U Photo)
Won't Solve Ag Dilemma
The "soil bank" plan proposed by the Eisenhower administration will l i v e f a r m e r s more purchasing power but it won't control produc-tion or surpluses for long
That 's the opinion of Dr. Arthur Mauch, a Michigan State Univer-sity f a rm economist.
But the soil bank plan, said Mauch, stacks up as one of the best choices tot the taxpayer, consumer and the f a rmer to get a good re-turn on the investment.
The plan calls for storing soil fertility for a fu ture used Inslead of storing grain and other produota In government store houses. That includes seeding land to soil build-ing grasses and legumes.
And that, emphasized the econo-mist, is one reason the plan won't control production. The soil remov-ed from cash crop production will yield even more when it is again cultivated. That In addition to more know-how In getting bigger f ie lds will boost production higher.
So, Mauch said, no one should expect the soli bank plan to solve the f a rm problem.
There 's a breath of spring in the air at Michigan State University Petunias are blossoming agaLi af-ter researchers sprayed them with a chemical.
Horticulturists C. E. WUdon and Charles L. Hamner found that they could make petunias bloom again in the greenhouse af te r they had ceased flowering for the fall. TIBA, a distant cousin of the weed killer, 2,4-D, rejuvenated the plants in Just three weeks.
The researchers say they a re en-thused about their find. They think the chemical has a lot of possibili-ties in addition to the aid to green-house florists.--
I t ' s much cheaper than artificial light to make longer days. And It
will make petunias blossom quicker In the spring as well as re juvenate them In the fall.
A chemical that speeds up blos-som forming, they explain, la es-pecially useful to plant breeders— If It works on the plant they a re trying to propagate. I t makes quicker seed formation and speeds up the breeding process.
And the chemical would be handy too, for fas ter setting of fruit in order to reach the market quicker, they say. WUdon and Hamner tried TIBA on nearly 100 different kinds of plants In the seedling stage. In seVeral ca^es flowering was speed-ed up. So, they ' re continuing work with other plants.

Find Uod and Wen Cause Deafness
They thought the boy was grow-ing deaf until the doctor took the lead out. The story la told by the Michigan Department of Health about a Michigan youngster *.vho attended a hearing clinic set up as par t of the hearing conservation program of the s tate and local health departments, and medical societies.
A hearing test showed that the boy had a significant hear ing loss in both ears. The mother explained that he had been hard of hearing for several years. At the clinic, ths hearing specialist examined the boy's nose, Uiroat and ears . Then he began to remove wax from the youngster's right ear . Af te r taking out a large amount of wax, the doctor managed to extract a piece of lead about the size of a bean which had been lodged UghUy
against Uie ear drum. The left ear, too, gave up a large amount of Impacted wax and another piece of lead of the same size.
Both the boy and hla mother were astonished; neither could ex-plain the presence of the lead in his ears. But when the Michigan Department of Health audlolngist r an a second hearing tes t on the boy, hearing was almost normal.
On the way home from the clinic, the boy began skipping along the sidewalk. Suddenly he stopped and looked up a t this mother. " I knew my feet made noise," he said, "but I never knew it was so loud be-fore ."

the new use of foamed polystyrene as a structural material for walls, roofs, and floors. A d v a n t a g e s claimed by the manufacturer in-clude durability, vermin reslstanrp, high insulating ^alue, and light weight. One hundred and eight board feet weigh only 20 pounds. A one-inch coating of cement on each side will make a flve-lnch-thlck wall. The manufacturer claims a cost of 85 cents per square foot and compares It with $1.25 for a four-jnch hrlck veneer-and-lnsula-tlon wall.

Children Need; "Something Better To Throw Than a Rock"
"We give a kid something better to throw than a rock," says Arthur Burger, executive secretary of the Boy' Clubs of Boston. "We give him a basketball. His reward is the yell of hU pals as lie makes a basket—more fun than busting a street light. Character Is caught, not taught. If a boy doesn't catch It from his parents, it rubs off on him from other boys and club lead-ers."
M o r e t h a n 425 Boys' Gubs throughout the United States, with over 400,000 members, are provid-ing basketball, baseball, boxing and other sports, woodworking, draw-ing, checkers, plngpong, stamp-col-
lecting and libraries—as substitutes for rock-throwing and other teen-age mischief and crime.
In a February Reader's Digest article William L. White emphasiz-es that while the Boys' Clubs suc-cessfully salvage problem boys every day, the boys who are "bad" form only a minute percentage of total membership. The 400,000 youngsters whom the Boys' Gubs keep busy, happy and out of trouble come from every background, race and creed. In some areas the ma-jority ai^ from underprivileged homes; In others 80 percent or more of all boys are members.
Boys* Gubs of America lele-
brates its 50th anniversary this year. Each club is directed by leading citizens, and operating funds are contributed locally. Mem-bers, however, must pay dues, though the amount may be as little as 25 cents a year. "Otherwise," says H e r b e r t Hoover, national chairman, "they wouldn't feel it was their own club."
The Season for laked I e £\ i P W f f l I I wJWfW
Had any hearty Michigan bean soup lately or any of those good old-fushloned Michigan baked beans with salt pork and molasses that our mothers and grandmothers took such pride In preparing?
If you haven't there are a lot of bean growers In the state who hope
you add Michigan bean dishes to the family menu this winter. The state's marketable navy (pea) bean crop last autumn was 40 per cent larger than the small harvest of the previous year and nearly a quarter bigger than the average crops of the past 10 years.
This is the report df the Federal-State Ci ip Reporting seivlce at Lansing, which Indicates that 97 per cent of all the navy (pea) beans raised in the country In 1955 were raised here In Michigan, mostly In the "Thumb" area and the Sag-inaw valley.
The marketable crop totals 4,668, 000 bags. One-hundred pound bags, that is. If moved by rail, the usual cor loading is 800 such bags. And If we want to try and visualize how big a crop that Is, try thinking of
5,710 box c a n . Or 57 train-loads of 100 cars each. «
"The difference between law and custom is that It takes a lot of nerve to violate a custom."
Michigan U the only state which permits a marufacturer the option of paying personal property tax on either the Inventory value as of December 81, or on the average value throughout the year.

Army Has Voice-Powered Telephone The power of the human voice
kmc known to sway multltudet, in-fluence the course of history and tie up party Unes -ha* been tap-ped by the Army Signal Corps En-gineering Laboratory here to oper-ate a new radio-telephone device.
Completely independent of wires and batteries the voicfroperated equipment weighs only a pound and a half and continues to op-erate as long as the user keeps talking into it.
The technique employed puts the voice to work so that it both runs and operates a transistorized trans-mitter. After speech s y l l a b l e s strike the microphone, part of the
power is filtered to operate the ra-dio-telepiionc. while the rest puts "intelligence" into the signal it sends out.
In short, voice-energy is substi-tuted for electric energy in trans-mission. At the present stage of testing this new kind of energy does a competent Job up to 600 feci.
Further development plans call for a companion receiver weighing about three ounces, which could be powered by the same source.
Voice energy would be built up and stored in the set when send-ing and used later for receiving.
The new voice-powered radio-phone was conceived and devel-
oped by George Bryan, an engi-neer in the Physical Sciences Di-vision of the laboratories here. He housed his experimental unit in the shell of an ordinary military tele-phone.
Military applications of the de-vice are obvious: Transitorized transmission could eliminate bat-teries in both walkie-talkies and band-held tactical radios, culling their weight in half and easing the soldiers burden.
As for civilian uses, engineers here look forward to the day when small, self-contained radio-tele-phones will be used by the busi-nessman to call his office while walking elong the streets, by po-licemen operating In pairs, by hunting and fishing parties, news-paper reporters, firemen, and oth-
ers who must be in constant com-munication with headquarters.
And what more ideal gift for a teen-ager? While Suzie and John use voice-energy to their heart's content, mother and dad can en-joy a benefit all but forgotten-exclusive use of the battery-power ed telephone.
Best Christmas Gift As a Little lay Hears A Plaintiff Cow Moo
A story of a little boy, a plain-tive cow, and a gift withoui a wrapper was unfolded today as a Christmas greeting from tlie Michi-gan Department of Health. Dr. Al-bert E. Heustis, State Health Com-missioner, commented that the
story pays tribute to Michigan peo-ple, "whose support of public health programs gives lasting gifts, not onlv at Christmas, but through-out the year."
The story starts with a hearing conservation program held in a rural elcmcntar> school one of the projects routinely staged In Michi-gan communities by health deport-ments an I schools. As a result of the program several younislers were rrfnrred to a special clinic let up in the county thro-i-; tho local health department an.l nodi-cal socletv.

As the health department telli the story, some time later, proud-ly wearing his new "ear" the boy clambered almard the school bus and perched on his seat. As the bus tno.ed past a herd of cattle In a rovhlde field, one cow raised her "lead and mooed. The boy turned to his seat-mate. "You know ' he exclaimed.

Now is the t ime to take it easy, protect your heart during the win-ter months—that's the timely ad-vice from L. Paul Raiph. M.

Although it is one of the strongest and hardest working organs in the body, the heart should not be sub-jected to more of a work-load than that to which it is ordinarily ac-customed.
The Michigan Heart Association, a United Fund Agency, makes these suggestions to protect your h e a r t during t h e cold winter months:
5. Avoid self-diagnosis. Have a periodic health examination so that if necessary, you can receive prompt t rea tment for any disease that may be revealed. If treat-ment for hear t disease is indicated, your Doctor of Medicine will ad-vise you what precautions to take to protect your heart. If your heart is sound, needless anxiety can be avoided.

Effktaicy to Kty Food C o m in A&P Head Dtckvt t
There sliould be plentiful supplies of food for America 's record level appetites in 1956 with retail prices continuing about a5 low as in 1955, Ralph W. Purger , president of the Great Atlantic A Pacific Tea Com-pany, said today.
Mr. Burger said that food prices in 1955 were 1.50^) lower than in 1954 and 5.80^) holow the p o s t -World War H peak reached in 1952. The over-all cost of living in 1955, he noted, was down only four-tenths of one per cent.
"Present forecasts show that food production during the new year will come close to the record 1955 level and that prices to consumers will remain about the same. With average weather, there should be adequate food supplies to meet con-sumer demand ," Mr. Burger said.
"This is a record and an outlook thf.t the food industry can be proud of ," Mr. Burger declared. "I t shows that the orderly downward trend of food costs continued with-out interupting in 1955. It also shows that the nation's farmers and food distributors a re meeting the
heavier food demands of our rapid-ly expanding population."
The A 4 P president warned, how-ever, that "If we a re going to con-tinue to hold the price line and at the s ame time assure f a rmers of an adequate return, we must be alert to resist inflationary trends developing within the industry."
"Food is one of the largest ex-penses of the average family Over-expansion and the unhealthy com-petitive practices of the 'Boom Psy-chology' can raise the cost of eat-ing in every American home."
" l / m g store hours with night and Sunday business, 'give-aways' and premiums were scrapped by the food Industry years ago, because they raised food prices," he con-tinued. "Now, howpvpr, we a re in danger of reviving old costly pat-terns ."
One service the consumer is en-titled to can be Improved without cost, according to the A 4 P presi-dent. "The cost of courteous ser-vice is par t of the price charged the customer," he said.

Each January business concerns in all parts of the United States receive from Dun & Bradstreet re-quests for their annual financial s tatements . This year the number of requests going out nation-wide will approximate three million.
with over 5,000 going to Kent Coun-ty businessmen.
The growth and the industrial development of Kent County is re-flected in s ta t i s t ics , jus t released by the credit reporting f i rm. King-man Douglass, Jr . , manager at Grand Rapids which c o v e n this area, says that this yea r there will be more requests for financial statements made of business con-cerns in Kent County than ever before.
The Kent County section of the current issue of the Dun k Brad-street Reference Buuk contains listings of 5409 local names com-prising manufacturers, wholesal-ers, and retailers. It does not in-clude some of the service and "pro-fessional" businesses, such as bar-ber and beauty shops, real estate and stock brokers. Thus the figure for businesses In Kent County would actually b<* higher than the 5409 quoted above.

FORD BEATS JET IN TAKE-OFF! Match a Ford in acceleration with U. S. Marine Corps Fury Jet, and the Ford out-stripe the jet!
That's the story of a race conducted at the Marine Corps Aviation Base, Cherry Point, North Carolina.
From a standstill, a Ford Fairlane Town Sedan and an FJ2 Fury Jet (flown by a crack Leatherneck pilot) both took off at wide-open throttle.
Ford's take-off was so fast that the jet was still trailing at 200 yards.
Though you'll probably never race a jot, ;t's nice to know Ford's Thunderbird Y-8 engine has so much "oomph" in reserve . . . instant response for times when instants count!
This Thunderbird Y-8 is the standard eight in all Fairlane and Station Wagon models... at no extra cost!
And Thunderbird sty: int9 gift-w r a p s Thunderbird OO. Ford's long, low lines of leadership are instantly recognizable
T h e e a m e F o r d that out-jeta a jet marches smoothly, at a walk, with a Marine Corps band
as Thunderbird-inspired. They give Ford active looks to match its active performance. And further, with styling like the Thunderbird, Ford moves in the finest circles where style really counts.
Ford brings you new Lifeguard Design for extra safety. It protects you against hazards that cause over half of the serious car-accident injuries.
Ford has new Lifeguard door latches with a
double grip to give added protection against doors springing open in a crash. Ford also brings you the new deep-center Lifeguard steering wheel which is designed to keep driver away from the steering post in case of accident. Hie new Lifeguard rear-view minor has a double-swivel mounting which "gives" wnen hit And you can have optional Lifeguard padding for in-strument panel and sun visors and4 optional Ford seat belts, too.

The Thoihas farm was at the Whlt-neyvllle crossing. Archie Thomab worked three years on this track as a section hand before starting work at the railroad's Wyoming yards, and later fired, and ran, freight and passenger trains that ran over it.
He began in 1906 as a hostler, taking incoming engines from the coal dock, where the engine crew "tied them up", to the center pit where the fire was knocked out; or. conversely, bringing starting en-gines out to a track for the crew to take out. After three weeks he

Passengers went from one car to another rarely when the train was in motion, except to get to the smoker. Mr. Thomas fired a switch engine that had steam jam brakes —two cylinders under the engine running boards^ into which steam could be levered from the boiler, to force brake shoes against the en-gine wheels.
