Proposed Mason Budget to Increase $44~594; Tax Rate May Go· DowD~ But Taxes' to Go Up

A proposed budget totalling $853,302 was presented to the Mason city council at its meeting Monday night. The budget represents a $44,594 increase over last year's budget.

To meet this increased expenditure the City Administrator William Bopf has proposed lowering the over-all tax rate from $15.72 per thousand for last year to $14.58 per thou~and this year.

On the surface this would indicate a decrease 'in taxes to the property owner, but this is not the case. The state equalization factor will be raised this year from.l.28 to 1.445. To maintain the tax rate at last year's level would have provided more monies than needed by the budget proposed.

Even so, with the lowered tax rate, the higher state equalization factor will mean an increase in taxation to

Fires Keep Volunteers Hopping Mason volunteer firemen have bren going at a

constant run since good weather and tinder dry conditions have started the annual rash of grass fires.

In the past 7 days firemen have answered 16 alarms all grass fires with the exception of one vacant house. Prime cause of the fires, according to Robert Inghram, Jr., fire chief, is usc of unapproved bur11ing barrels.

"People do not realize how dry the conditions are right now and until we get either some rain or snow the

. department will not be issuing anymore burning permits," he said.

An other thing persons burning probably don't realize is that should they be the cause of starting a fire which requires use of firemen or fire department equipment, there is an automatic charge of S100 for the

city, and townships of Alaiedon, Vevay and portions of Aurelius. Alaiedon and Vevay townships have -indicated . that these fines will be assessed back on the person · responsible for the fire.

One basic need is that of being in a right and meaningful relation with God and with our fellow man. Love is the ingredient necessary to maintain meaningful relationships. Without love there seems to be no peace.

Love and peace binds together while hate and fear separates. It seems that hate and fear is causing chaos in many parts of our world today. I like the way the Apostle Paul talks about love, "Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope· it can outlast anything." The great need of our world th~n is to discover love in its fullest meaning and to apply it .in everyday relationships.

It is not comforting to say the church is not meeting the needs of mankind because the church is only as effective as the individuals who make up the church.

If love and peace are to spread throughout the home the community, the state, and the world, then it must' begin within individuals, within me.

Lent, then, is a time to review my beliefs about the important issues of life and to also review my personal conunitmcnt to the cause of Jesus Christ.

Worth It, Prudon Says ·

A Basketball Tournament Represents a Lot of Work

By SHIRLEY BECKMAN News Staff Writer

A lligh school basketball tournament is not all baskets, field goals and mini-skirted cheerleaders. Robert Prudon, Mason senior high school principal is the first to admit that.

In his words, "It is a tremendous amount of work for several people." It is also ticket sales, parking problems, ushering, custodial services and a complicated formula for apportioning the income,

"We run a basketball tournament for the state high school athletic association, not for. Mason high school," Prudon said. ·

At the close of the tournament when all of the income is in, a certain percentage is .taken out to pay officials, the scorers, the timekeeper and for the liability insurance, Pruden said.

From the •emaining sum, 75 percent goes to the state high school athletic fund. The other 25 percent goes to the Mason high school athletic department. From this the school will pay its expenses, This will include salaries to workers, a honorarium to the managers, salaries to secretary, custodian, and police and the cost Of programs.

From the surplus after the expenses have been paid, 75 percent will go to the state association and the remaining 25 percent to Mason high school. What does this mean in terms of actual money? Two years ago, the last time Mason had a tournament, it was $746.48.

"Tllis profit goes into a single fund, which is

administered by the board of education," Prudon said. "It is earmarked for a large expense to improve the athletic program. The profits from previous tournaments were used to start a new sport, wrestling, at Mason high. It took

Ingham county sheriff's detectives are investigating a breaking and entry at the Leslie high school which netted thieves about $450 and left the school facing S 1 000 worth of building and equipment damages. '

A school custodian, Leon Wheeler, discovered the break-in Tuesday about 7: IS a.m. Entry was gained by breaking a sky light over the gymnasium shower room according to detectives. '

. It was a ~eal "Hatchet" job. Investigating officers sur~s.e th~ th1eves used an axe to gain entry to the adrrumstrahve offices. According to Donald Haynes Leslie village police officer, the burglars were obviously familiar with the school and where money might be kept.

Thieves apparently u.sed the axe to punch holes .throu~ 3 doors, the office secretary's desk, various cash boxes m the vault and the coke machine, officers said.

Taken were funds for a spring class trip of $250 about $100 from the sale of pennant and license plates: some $90 of basketball tournament ticket monies $20 from the coke machine and various other funds of 'small amounts.

. . School Principal Robert Howe estimated damages mfhcted on school property would total approximately S 1 ,000. "The thieves were after money and knew just where to look," he said,

Sch~ol officials indicated the school had been broken into last year, but thieves had not been successful in finding some $600 kept temporarily in the vault.

Another breaking and entry report was received from Cecil Dursham's service station located at the intersection of Baldwin and Onondaga roads in Ononda~a .

According to sheriff's deputies, the owner kepi a large German Shepherd dog in the station. When the break-in was discovered Tuesday morning, the dog was found severely beaten.

Deputies said the dog has been trained to leave persons entering the station alone unless they went behind the counter toward the cash register.

Investigating officers think the dog may have allowed the thief or thieves to enter and attacked when they went to the register. It is estimated that for their efforts the thieves may have gotten $8. Both robberies are under investigation. ·

Proposed City Budget Shows $44,594 Boost

approximately $100 more taxes for a home with a $10,000 state equalized valuation," he said.

DeWayne Evans, councilman, commended Bopf for his work on the proposed budget and felt it was important that Mason residents realize that: "Mason is not gouging its taxpayers-recent tax increases have been within the tax rates of the school district and county government."

Some areas accounting for the $44,594 increase in the budget were the near doubling of the public services appropriation to finance the construction of sidewalks on N, Okemos street and various curb and gutter improvements throughout the city.

The police budget is up approximately $31,000 and this is due to the hiring of 2 new men for the department and the initiation of the city's ambulance service.

Appropriations for the major street fund is also :increased over last year. Total improvements planned for 'this year are estimated at $52,000 with the city paying for :$39,000. These improvements are the extension of curb .. and gutter and storm drains to the top of the hill of : Okemos street and the paving of Okemos street from the · top of the hill to the city limits. : Employes for the city will realize a 7 to 10 percent : increase in their salaries based on individual employe ; evaluation, according to Bopf. He has also proposed a

The starting rate will be $100 for 5 :years service and in.creasing $20 for each successive year. ; Bopf indicated that it was a big savings to the city to :maintain a constant staff and that salaries paid by the city · are now comparable to other conununities Mason's size. ; "We are demanding quite a bit from our city employes :but we arc, in turn, paying a fair wage. · A public hearing date on the proposed budget has . been set for March 17 at 8 p.m. in the city council :·chambers.

Pressure groups, _propaganda, placards,· demonstrations-what arc kids learning in school these days?

Seniors in the Mason high school government classes are learning to take an active part and interest in the decisions made by their government. They are learning how to make their voices heard.

Mrs. Gary Tyler, MSU student teacher from Lansing, took a poll among her students and found that some 70 percent felt both they and their parents had little or no effect in detenitining government policy.

The teacher decided to show her students various ways individuals .. can play an active part in determining

·policy; There arc ·3 government.classcs and each class selected 2· issu'es\vith :q~roup for and against each issue .

StudentS· in the various groups are supposed to usc any recognized, but acceptable, method of shaping public opinion for and against .such questions as a senior lounge, a-la-carte lunches, 18-year-old voters, sho.uld the welfare system be radically changed, should hard or soft butter be served in the cafeteria and should Mason have a summer recreation program including a teen center.

Students will be able to measure the success of their various issue groups. Before the class project began, the students took a sampling of opinions from classmates. After the project is over, they will again take a sampling of student opinion in addition to a poll being conducted in the Mason business area. Those issues the public is most familiar with and in favor of will be the issues which were represented by the most effective pressure group.

In the course of convincing people that one side of an issue is the better one, students have used various methods. They have put up signs in the hallways, carried placards, staged a demonstration in the auditorium, presented their case for a teen center to the Mason city council, printed handbills and pamphlets, worn buttons, talked to the student council and Mason Kiwanis club, written letters to the editor and contacted a radio station.

The following are letters to the editor representing 2 issues included in the class project:

Should an 18-year-old have the right to vote? No! An eighteen year old should not have the right

to vote, because he is not mature enough to make wise decisions. He is also not mature enough to carry a gun and make decisions about being right or wrong in taking a human life.

An eighteen year old is not old enough to vote if he is not old enough to buy cigarettes and alcohol legally.

An eighteen year old is not dependable enough to vot~ if he is not dependable enough to buy a car without a co-signer.

An eighteen year old is not wise enough to vote if he is not wise enough to be responsible for his debts until he is twenty-one.

An eighteen year old is not old enough to vote without being unduly influenced, if he can not control his life without being influenced by likes and dislikes of those he associates with .

Is an eighteen year old to be considered an irresponsible child still to be molded into a mature responsible adult; or is this the question to be considered?

Committee Against Teen-Age Voting Mason High School

"'* * Tod~y, a major issue has arisen in the U.S.legislature and that ~s lowering the voting age to 18. We, a group of students m government class, feel that the eighteen year olds of today are. being more or less cheated out of being able to vote. , T~king a quote from Adlai Stevenson justifies this; 'The eighteen year old of today is more aware of nat~onal and world events than ever before." We feel the e1ghteen year o~ds ~re more informed than most grown ups, and they JUstifiably should be given the right to vote.

Thousands of 18, 19, and 20 year olds are old enough to kill in Vietnam, but they aren't old enough to do anything about changing laws or passing our bills Former President Ei~nhower stated that; "If you're old e~ouB!J to fight, you re old enough to vote." Along with EISenhower such great men as; JQhn and Bobby Kennedy ~oapy Williams, Geor11e Romney, Lyndon Johnson, Adlai S.tevenson and Franklin Roosevelt have supported the e1ghteen year old vote.

So you see we students strongly feel along with n:utny great men, that the voting age should be lowered to e1ghteen.

Group No. I 5th hour ~overnment class

As representatives of Mason teens, we would like to fully inform the citizens of Mason upon the serious issue of a city- sponsored teen center and recreational program.

This program would be carried on only during the summer months. Opposition has stated that the high school sponsored a recreational program for the entirl! year. This is false. During the summer months, the high school is completely closed down. It is during these months in particular that the lack of a city-sponsored program is felt. . The opposition has stated that a year-round program 1 s now available. This program consists mainly of playground supervision. There is no established program for the young people of Mason, especially during the evening hours when it is most vital. · •· · · · · ·

The opposition has stated that a millage vote would be needed to institute a recreational program. Again'this is false. A well-endowed recreational fund exists from a bequest by the late Mrs. Bond. Where are these funds now? There is no need to ask the voters for millage when the money already exists.

Vandalism increases at a surprising rate during the summer months. This problem usually occurs in the evening hours and is performed by those young people usually occupied during the winter months by school. During the summer, there is an excess of time and nothing in Mason to fill it. The city of Mason would profit more from preventive medicine in the form of one adult supervisor in charge of a teen recreation center than it would profit from the hiring of 2 extra police officers to cure the problem. Therefore, we, as teenage citizens of the city of Mason, ask the adult citizens of this community to support a recreational program. .

Webberville Library To Get a R.eprieve

Webberville may not lose its library after all, according to indica lions at a meeting of township, village and county library officials Monday night .

According to Neil R. West, Leroy township supervisor, the township is willing to pay for improved services in Webberville and an effort will be made to obtain assistance from the county also. ·

All officials said they will try to agree on methods of bringing the library up to state standards and Marvin W Mounce, direCtor of Ingham County. libraries stated, "If. the people are irtterested in improving service, the county· library is willing to do what it can to help."

Furor recently rose from Webberville residents when county officials decided to close the libraries in Webberville, Aurelius and Onondaga and replace them with bookmobiles.

"At the present time the Webberville branch is open 9\h hours a week; according to Mounce. He added that the bookmobile would spend an additional 6 hours a week in Webberville under the county plan. ·

Under present plans the bookmobile would be in the area twice a week during the school lunch hour and once a week after school in order to give the children a chance to use the facility, Mounce said.

West stated t11at even though nothing definite had been decided there was not much doubt in his mind that something could be worked out that is satisfactory to all concerned.

"Let's Stand Up and Fight!" Suggests Webberville Citizen

Have you experienced the pleasant relaxation of corning home from the library with a good book and with the T.V. turned off, settling down in a comfortable chair

· to read? It is especially nice if the children have also brought books home. It's amazing how quiet the house can be when their minds are busy absorbing the adventures of "Tom Sawyer," "Curious George" or "Heidi."

This is how it is in our home in Webberville on the day we visit the library. But, it seems this may all be changed, since the county has advised that the library will be closed March 18.

The Webbervill!) branch of the Ingham county library is located in the community hall on S. Main street. The space, heat and electricity are provided by Leroy township.

The major reasons given to concerned citizens for closing the library are:. {I) The state minimum requirement of 15 hours per week is not being met. {Why not?) (2) The library is located below ground 'level and children arc afraid to go through the closed doors. (Since when?)

The township board has offered to enlarge the library and has requested the additional hours needed to meet the minimum requirement. They also offered to pay the librarian's salary for the extra hours. Still the library board of Ingham county decided to close the Webberville branch of this county library. Why?

The plans are to replace the library with a Bookmobile which will give Webberville only approximately 6 hours of service per week. They propose one day during lunch hour and another during lunch hour and until 4 p.m. But, how many children from an ~lementary school of approximately 480 students can get mto a Bookmobile during a 45 minute lunch period?

What about our people who are working and are not in town at this time or the mother who does not have a car available until 5 or 6 p.m.? Aren't teachers supposed to use the library? .

More new homes have been built in Webberville in the past year than in any preVious year. The school

enrollment has increased approximately 8 percent each year for the last 2 years.

What is the thinking behind reducing library service to a community that is growing so rapidly? Docsn 't it seem more reasonable that service should be incr~ased?

Are we going to sit hack and Jet our library be taken away from us? Let's stand up and fight!!

An Interested Member Webberville Child Study Club

. Adults Need to Set Example for Team

Lectures, discussions, experiments, reading and application assignments are given in schools in order that lessons may be learned and reinforced. Let us take a lesson from our young people. The teachers in this case are our local athletes.

During this week Mason will host the basketball tournaments for the Capital Circuit. During t11is week athletes will play under a set of rules and regulations and they will abide by the decisions of the officials· LIKE IT OR NOT.

Here is the lesson, Like It Or Not, the rules are made to be followed. If the athletes are willing to follow them, why should the fans be any different? As we all know, if an official makes a decision, all the booing or arguing is not going to change that decision. The boys know this, but some fans seem to forget it.

Within the regulations there are methods for further decision making, if and when it becomes necessary; but surely not every decision fits into this category. It upsets the young people to see adults doing the very' things which they have been told not to do.

So let the fans be teachers of the young and promising athletes, also. Let us all be. Let us bring a . change in attitude to all the athletic events from this time · forward. It can't hurt anyone, but it would benefit us all. ,:

54 YEARS AGO,·Back in 1915 this school house stood at the intersection of Meridian road and Dexter trail and was known as the £tchel/ school. It was a snowy day when these 27 pupils lined up outside their school to have their picture taken. The person standing behind the children undoubtedly was the teacher. The picture is from a collection owned by Gordon Bravende'r, 1317 Vine street, Lansing.

The Big Get F utter There is no doubt that the

American farmer is in trouble. Being in trouble is not unique to the American these days and, through history, is not unique on the farming scene.

Farming, as it has been known, is practically dead. The family farm is becoming as extinct a~. the pot bellied stove in the general store.

Each year fewer Americans make their living on farms. With every animal and equipment disperal auction the family farm becomes more myth and less reality. Now it is more than the small family farm which is leaving the scene in ever-increasing numbers. The. Big Business farms are doing the same.

One Ingham ex-farmer who operated one of the biggest dairy operations in the county is now selling real estate. In explaining his move last week he pointed out that right now the cost squeeze plus lack of labor was the main reason for leaving behind a big dairy operation. Five years from

· now when the full impact of synthetic dairy products is added to the cost-labor problem he didn't figure dairy farmers would be able to survive.

It is the same all through the farm industry. The picture is not bright. The agriculture-saving answers are not easy. Some farmers think the answer is collective bargain.ing. This is the approach to the problem being taken by the NFO. The less militant Farm Bureau has pushed co-operatives.

The federal government has been even more confused. Lacking clear direction the farm program has ridden

off in all directions-and all at once. New agricultural problems

produced new programs which produced new problems which produced new programs and on and on this circle has run.

As is usually the trouble with bureaucracy, there is a. great reluctance to dump old programs which do not work while piling on new programs.

Most of the federal effort in the farming picture has had one common result-Big farming operations reap the harvest and the small family farm operation continues to take it on the chin.

The farm subsidy bonanza has gone to the big.

Government figures for 1966 show that 9 "poverty farmers" received subsidies totaling over one million dollars each: 18 received more than half a million dollars each; 267 farmers received at least $100,0QO each; and 966 tapped the subsidy till for more than $50,000 each.

Such subsidy programs not only make city dwellers suspicious of the farm program but they surely confuse the small farmer and they aren't doing !tim a bit of good. In fact these subsidy programs which fatten the fat actually hasten the demise of the famil; farm.

Continuation of such programs which aid the big boys does nothing but speed up the number of small farm owners into going out of business, selling to the big operations and moving to the city and attempting to make living in an environment for which he is not equipped and which he does not understand. ·

Some Worthwhile Advice Dr. Leroy Augenstein, a resident

of Holt and a member of the state board of education, has come up with a proposal for bridging the generation gap that we believe to be very worthwhile.

He would ask the 2 ages-teens and adults-to join forces and move forward together in the task of endeavoring to solve the ills of the world.

"Both generations should work together to solve today's problems," Dr. Augenstein told a group of teenagers and adults at a 4-H meeting at Michigan State university last Saturday.

The speaker called on youth groups to work in the ghettos with an

eye on the dropout problem. He said the Big Brother and Big

Sister movements have been responsible for cutting the dropout rate from 30 to 50 percent in some areas.

He urged adults to provide guidance and direction "for harnessing the young generation's energies."

This is good advice which could well be heeded by both adults and youth. The youth have the energy and .the adults have the experience. Working together, they could change the world.

Dr. Augenstein is to be commended for the proposals he has set forth.

Kicking the Habit As he seeks to rebuild the Democratic party

following five years of Johnsonian disinterest and neglect, Sen. Harris can expect plenty of sideline advice, not all of it without merit. Consider this contribution from Author Norman Mailer recently one of the party's shriller critics.

. The Deni~cratic party, says Mailer, "is a party which ·has become all program and no coherent philosophy. Its approach to every social, moral and, spiritual ill of man Is to inject money; so it has the psychology of the pusher: In trouble? Take a fix." ·

As national chairman, Sen. Har.ris may choose to ignore much of the criticism from southern malc~ntents. He'll find it harder to shrug off the complamts of Democratic dissidents on the left.

Mailer's charge that the Democrats have come to see an injection of federal money as a practicable "fix" for all the nation's woes is what Republicans have charged for years. One easily can ignore criticism from one's enemies. It's when it comes from within the family that one needs to pay··attention.

Right to Inquire Quite often, when a newspaper publisher, or for tltat

matter, any citizen, inquires of some governmental body as to policies or asks for information, he is labeled a trouble- maker, a complainer. And, very often, he gets the old pitch-er-oo, "The best way to correct things if you don't like the way things are run, is to assume some of the responsibilities yourself."

City council members, school board members, county government agency heads, get "gun shy" after a while because of some harassment on policies and decisions.

But this isn't to say that every time a person asks questions that he's sighting in on a vulnerable target. We'll grant them the right to be "gun shy" but we'd also exp~ct them to allow a citizen to make inquiries without bemg placed in a gunman's position. (Gratiot County Herald)

A classic example is the new Ingham board of supervisors. Here Ingham stands with its back to the wall in what has got to be a financial crisis with just so much money to spend and too many places to spend it. So what happens?

A committee headed by Supervisor Eugene Wanger is spending effort and hoping' to spend cash to turn the staid old board of supervisors room into a lounge,

At the last meeting of the board Wanger presented his master plan calling for refurbishing the chambers and rearranging the room. He wants all the woodwork and furniture refinished in a lighter color, paneling here and there and ivory or beige walls. His report was especially critical of the historically old chairs and their lack of padding for supervisor posteriors.

That's the trouble with elected lawmakers. There is too much thought of personal comfort. Besides, if the chairs were made more .comfortable the meetings might drag on into longer hours.

Supervisor Wanger ought to have it drawn to his attention . that some

There has been a lot of talk about closing 3 branches of the Ingham county library system soon and substitute for them a visit from a bookmobile.

The move has caused a storm of comment from the 3 communities affected -- Aurelius, Onondaga and Webberville. In one sense of the word the library in a small community such as the 3 mentioned is something of a symbol of local pride.

It is a place where boys and girls can gather and supplement their school ·reading with other good literature to be found on the library shelves.

The library is· a place, too, where adults can gather.

Taking away the library and substituting a bookmobile does not set well with the residents of these small places. The library is just abo_ut the last stronghold of community life there is left for them. Their community school is gone, their community church is even threatened.

If the library goes there is nothing left. That's the way these rural folk feel and they are going to do something about it. ·

, hundreds of others who spent one or · 2 days a month in those chairs doing business, never were too concerned with· their own creature comfort. They concentrated on work, not interior decorating.

If there is a priority system for county problems, a supervisor's room redecorating job and soft chairs for soft rears should be the last on the list.

. ;Chances arc, if you have a pet, or if someone close to . you has one, you enjoy passing ·on stories of its antics to others. A large body of books written by animal owners and lovers telling of their many adventures with animals of all kinds testify to this fact.

· Sam Dunton, staff photographer of the New York . Zoological Society calls his book t!9ld That Tiger! The many stories he has to tell of the various animals he has photographed provides very interesting and entertaining reading, The same is true of Carl Kauffeld's Snakes: the Keeper and the Kept and Martini's My Zoo Family. The former, "a complete guide for the snake owner," teaches by relating the experiences of its author, the director and curator of reptiles at New York's Staten Island Zoo, The latter describes the author's adventures as the foster-mother to lions, tigers, leopards, gorillas, deer, and other young animals that belong to the famous Bronx Zoo.

Stories about pets, naturally arc very close to the reading public's heart, Hence favorites with many arc: My Life with Boxers by Friedcrun Stockmann, Especially Dogs ... Especially at Stillmeadow by Gladys Taber, Monty: Biography of a Marmalade Cat by Derek Tangye, a~d Memoir for Mrs, Sullavan by Bryna Unterrheyer,

In My Life with Boxers Frau Stockmann not only gives us a vivid story of her fifty _Years as a Boxer breed.er, but as a gifted artist, she also illustrates her story wtth ove; 600 sketches. Gladys Taber, in her work, tells the stories of the many dogs-Irish setters and cocker spaniels-kept as pets on the spacious Stillmeadow estates in New England, In the course of her narrative, we learn how Mrs. Taber took care of the new puppies; housebroke raised and trained them; nursed them through ill~esscs; and took them through obedience training that she might show them at dog shows.

Cat lovers will appreciate the story of Monty, the marmalade cat that stole his way into the heart of cat-hater Derek Tangyc and stayed there for sixteen years. Memoir for Mrs. Sullavan tells a similar story about a tri-colored cat who made her home with Louis and Bryna Untermeyer. The story Mrs. Untermeyer tells is of Sullavim's encounters with butterflies and frogs, Robert Frost, New York City apartments, "armours" and the more-or-less arnica! relations with more lately acquired pets. The text is delightfully illustrated with charcoal and pencil sketches. ·

Some people have more "exotic" pets than cats and dogs, and their stories provide exciting reading for many. Included in this category would be the works of Gerald and Jacqueline Durrell, namely My Family and Other Animals, Beasts in my Bed, and Overloaded Ark.

Sauce for the Mongoose by Bruce Kinloch tells the story of a mongoose who was unexpectedly added to the Kinloch household in Africa and stayed to become an affectionate, but also inquisitive and domineering member of the family. Sandy tells the true story of a rare sandhill crane who joined the Dayton Hyde family on a beautiful, primitive ranch in Oregon's high country. Sandy's story involves his mate and their offspring, numerous other sandhill cranes, and other animals growing up on the Hyde estate.

In Arctic Wild, Lois Crisler writes about the experiences she and her husband had on assignment in Alaska for the Walt Disney Studios. Togetherthey spent eighteen months in the beautiful, isolated, dang<)rous Alaskan wilderness photographing vast caribou migrations and raising two groups of wolf puppies who came to behave toward them almost as dogs.

The Bears and I tells how Robert Leslie, the author of the book, raised three motherless bear cubs in Canada's north woods and trained them for their eventual return to the wilderness. Born Free tells a similar story abm~t Joy and George Adamson and the lioness, Elsa-a story which, of course, has subsequently been made into a motion picture. On Playing with Lions is based on the making of that ftlm. It was written by Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers, the film photographers. Circus lions were not suitable for the role, so Bill and Virginia began, from scratch, to train wild lions for all the scenes that were required: domestic, hunting, fighting, swimming, and killing. Their account is a fascinating one, as are the many others to be found in the Ingham County Library collection.

Just thoughts You'll Never Walk Alone By LULA HOWARTH News Special Writer

If the soft warm breezes ot spnng or early summer coax you out 'into the country, there you will find plenty of activity and enjoyment.

In the brook you will see dragon flies darting through the air and skimming over the water.

At the sound of your feet on the bank there will be a flurry of minnows scurrying to a secluded spot.

As you approach the woods there will be a chattering of squirrels as they hop from branch to ?rancl~. .

They will pause to scold at your mtrus10n to thetr haven where they arc making plans for their summer home.

In the trees are the friendly birds who appear to welcome your visit.

Bluebirds have returned from the south to establish their home, where they had formerly lived in a hollow corner fence post.

A meadow lark will give you a musical greeting as you reach the edge of the wood lot.

A robin will sing out his rain song and high in a maple tree an oriole sings to his mate as she sets in her swinging nest.

If you wander in the country where nature lives, no matter where it is, you will never walk alone.

About those ,4-letter Words .iy Jim Fitzgerald

The first :newspaper to give. me a by-line, thus pulling the plug on a flood of 4-letter words, is·still causing the same kind of trouble, 19 years later,

I refer to the State News, the student newspaper at Michigan State University, It is currently under attack by the state ·.legislators in charge of counting the letters in words. This committee of lawmakers is not to be confused with the committee in charge of stamping out nudity on the campus. · . And neither committee should be confused with the

small band of legislators who don't have time to protect student morals because they're busy trying to figure out how more kids can get better educations, or p~rl1aps how,. mentally retarded youngsters might be rescued from cruddy dungeons. It is not easy to solve these, problems and still afford pay raises and a $40 million. office building for all legislators, no matter how stupid., · ·

I don't subscribe to the State News, so I don't know · which 4-letter words it printed; But Representative James Brown (R.Qkemos) said the newspaper is "bankrupt in morality" and run by a bunch of "filth peddlers." Brown is a friend of mine and formerly published a fine newspaper. I respect his ability to recognize filth when he sees it.

Jim Brown was an MSU journalism student the same years I was there, I wish I could be a devil and report that he used to write dirty words on campus statues, but I can't, The truth is, all I can remember about Jim in those days is'that he had hair then. And I'm certain he doesn't remember my student days at all-not even the State News article I wrote about artificial ins~mination as

·practiced in the MSU cattle barns. My frrst paragraph went something like this: "There are

a bunch of cows running around this state who don't know who their dads are. Their mothers don't know for sure, either."

And I went on from there in the fashion of most sophomoric writers in search of attention. It turned out to be pretty daring stuff for MSU, 1950. A couple of professors went tch tch and the News advisor snarled some reasonable words in my ear. I got the message which was watch it, wise guy, or you'll be out of a job, No legislator had to demand an investigation,

That's how it should be handled today. Some of these college editors may be nothing more than dirty little boys with their first crayons. They should be canned. But most young editors, I suspect are simply a bit ahead of their time, They are. using words you might hear in the movies and on TV and read in thousands of books and magazines. Words commonly used by a large segment· of our population when they ask you to pass the butter. But these are words not yet accepted in our newspapers. Not even when used as quotes from a public, newsworthy speech, as in the case of the State News.

So there is a problem. But it is nothing requiring breast-beating speeches from legislators who turn on with the TV ligiits, The voters elect university regents. They also hire ex-newspapermen to advise student publications. Let these people handle the problem which, when measured by the limited circulation of college papers, doesn't rank far ahead of panty raids, And let the legislators concern themselves with tasks more befitting their salaries, if not their abilities.

A charge often made is that students should darn well behave because taxpayers are subsidizing them, Many of the kids couldn't afford college if working citizens didn't pick up part of the tab. I wouldn't argue with this. But I would say something about playing ball in greenhouses ...

It has been demanded that the State News be kicked out of the Michigan Press Association (MPA) because of the dirty words.If I were Edward Brill, State News editor, I'd inquire into the relationship between MSU and MPA. The association sells a clipping service, thus making it a profit-making business. And for umpteen years the MPA has enjoyed rent-free offices on the MSU campus. I !carne~ this from an MPA officer just last month.

Why should taxpayers subsidize the MPA? Which is a question that might bring forth some 4-letter

words from editors older than Brill ..

By SHIRLEY BECKMAN News Women's Writer

Over 225 women from 18 women's organizations throughout the state of Michigan met in Lansing on Thursday for the first Legislation Day of the Michigan State Federation of Women's clubs.

The women in their bright wool dresses and suits crow~e~ into the downstairs of the Lansing Women's assocmtton clubhouse on South Washington avenue Lansing for coffee and donuts. Mrs. George E. Peterson of Okemos, legislation chairman of the Michigan State Federation of Women's clubs and chairman of the Legislation Day, opened the session. She introdued Mrs. Robert Van Blaricom, state federation president, who in turn introduced William Ryan, speaker of the House of Representatives and keynote speaker.

Ryan said that he believes that the state legislator is coming into his own. One reason is the trend for the legislator to assume its proper role rather 'than have certain functions taken over by the federal goveriunent. The apportionment decision of one man one vote, has made the legislator more truly representative, Ryan feels.

Senator Ryan outlined the process by which a bill becomes a law. He told the women that the role of the citizen involves conveying to the the committees of each house their opinion, He also urged them to .contact their legislators.

"The Legislator must vote for the common welfare as he sees it," Ryan said. "He must fit the bill into the total picture. He must remember the inalienable rights of the individual, He cannot pass legislation to take it away."

Ryan commended the women on their legislation day saying, "The manner in which the communication, liaison and co-operation between those of us in government and those of you involved, is an indication of your full awareness of the role you arc supposed to play in governmc n t."

The women separated into two workshops and went upstairs for the remainder of the morning, Each group heard the same series of speakers.

The first speaker was a lobbyist, Jack Rose, manager of the Michigan Chain Store Council. He was introduced by Mrs. Henry Imshaug of Okemos,

He defined a lobbyist as "an individual who presents a position to the legislator, A lobbyist is a specialist." He said that he feels that a lobbyist renders a service to the legislator.

Rose said that a successsful lobbyist must be acquainted with the legis! a tors and must have a reputation for "absolute integrity and absolute accuracy,"

He urged the women 'to become aware of the systems of checks and balances in our government, starting wit~ the 2 party system and continuing through all branches and levels of government.

Jim Brown of Okemos, filled the women in on what it is like to be a "freshman legislator." He is a member of the election, taxation and civil rights committees. Mrs. Charles Parkhurst of Okemos introduced him .

"It behooves the new legislator to learn the ropes," he · said. Brown said a workshop was held just prior to the start of the current legislative session for the new legislators, "to speed up the learning process," Government is a very complicated business," he said.

He told the women that "there is nothing that goes on in the legislature that does not in some point of time affect everyone of us."

Anthony Stamm of Kalamazoo,. of the Senate education committee was introduced by Mrs. Eleanor Luecke of Okemos. With aid to non-public schools much on people's minds, his talk was eagerly awaited,

He told the women that his committee had been studying the problem of aid to non-public schools for 9 months. He said that no decision has been made as yet,

He outlined the 5 suggestions for the problem as tax aid to the parents of non-public school children; the purchase of text books; a direct grant; a shared time program with the public schools and a contract arrangement between the public schools and non-public schools.

"We need people in the legislature that have the nerve to stand up and express themselves. People you can trust are important in government," Stamm said. This brought a round of applause from his audience.

He told the group that he defends the right to disagree. "Be careful of the man who straddles the fence. He stands for nothing and he is afraid to study the issues, and Jet you know where he stands."

Mrs. Lucille McCollough of Dearborn and of the House ·of Representatives education committee was introduced

Birthday Party Mrs. Helen Mason of 500 North Mason street, was

surprised at a birthday party on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Falk of Leslie and Mr. and Mrs. Willard Niswonger of Leslie arrived at her home with a party meal, including 2 birthday cakes. It was her 62nd birthday.

by Mrs. Archie Fraser of Okemos. She told the women that she is hopeful that this year will sec the end of tlw annual school census at a saving of about $2 million .to the local school districts, . ·

The census is "obsolete, unnecessary .and costly," she said. "It is possible to estimate the school enrollment without it." The census is used as the basis of allocating state aid to schools.

Mrs. McCollough pointed out that all over the state, voters arc voting down extra millage, "The local property tax is outmoded and unfair," she said and was rcl'(arded with a brisk hand from her audience, "A better way must ba found and the state must pay more to educate our boys and girls."

Enid Lewis of Holt introduced Philip 0. Pittenger of Lansing, a member of the House of Representatives, He told the woincn that the lagislator's job is easier if he knows how his constituicn ts fael abou I the issuas, He mentioned how discouraging is the lack of response to the mailed questionnaires used by the legislators to get opinions from their districts.

Mrs. Richard Jensen and Mrs. Zaio Woodford Schroder chairmaned ihe workshop sessions,

Following ,the workshops, the woman moved back ·downstairs for luncheon which was arranged by Mrs. Gerald Eddy of Lansing. Tha woman and thair guests sat at tables decorated with colorful bouquets of paper flowers and green and yellow straamers. ··

The spirit of the session continued through the luncheon conversation, with brisk talk of the cost of education and civil rights at many of the tables. A petition in support of the reading of Bible excerpts from the Oight of Apollo 8 was passed around for signing during the meal.

Robert Waldron, minority leader of the House of Representatives was to nave spoken at the luncheon. Because of the limited time left before the opening of the house at 2 p.m., he spoke only briefly, congratulating the women on their d n t crest and pointing out that is the first time the people have elected a split legislature,

The women left the clubhouse and went to the Capitol building to meet briefly with their legislators and to attend the session of the house. The Senate had met earlier in the day and adjourned until Monday.

Attending from the local :1rea were members of the Mason Woman's club, the Leslie EOTC club, the Williamston Women's cluti, the Okemos Woman's club, the Holt Woman's club and the Onondaga Women's club .

Candidates Seek Leslie Student Council Office

By SALLY HA YHOE Leslie High School Student council

elections for President took place this week. Four people were running for the office.

P r e~ viously one can did ate would run from each o f t h e freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. This year the Student revised its constitution and in the process changed the way of selecting candidates. Now 2 students run from each of the sophomore and junior classes.

The reason for · eliminating the freshmen was that the council thought a student should attend the hlgh school for at least a year so he can get to know the school better before running for council.

Those seeking the office this year were Janis Hayhoe and Jim Byrum representing the sophomore class, and Don Robinson and Bob Rameriz from the junior class.

As as5embly was held Wednesday so these people could give their campaign speeches. ,

Chris Smith, who . pr~sently" serves as President, introduced ! the candidates to

everyone, She also took tills opportunity to tell everyone that she really enjoyed her past year as President.

Character speeches were given by Chris Hollifield for Janis Hayhoe, Don Mentink for Jim Byrum and by Jana Wellman for Bob Rameriz.

Each speech centered around the idea that the Student Council should be doing more for the students and all of the candidates promised to try and do this if elected.

The ballots were cast following the speeches and the results were released on Friday. Bob Rameriz won the election,

Tuesday evening the girls' basketball team finished up their season. They played a home game against O'Rafferty and won. The girls' record was 5-3 for tlfe season,

Thursday, class meetings were held. The juniors took this opportunity to select prom servers. Eight sophomore girls and 8 boys were nominated. Then the class voted for 4 girls and 4 boys. The results will not be announced until later. The servers will help serve refreshments at the prom.

Friday evening the basketball team fmished up their league competition with · a game against Williamston.

. Both our junior varsity

and varsity teams won. Tllis is the third year in a row that Leslie has taken the Ingham County League title.

The first 2 se;. ·ons were done with uno~feated records. This year t ne team record for league competition was 11-1. The team suffered only one league defeat by Pinckney,

Snoring is more of a physi· cal problem than a medical one, but a surprising amount of research has gone into the question of how to stop it. And, more recently, on how to cope with the person who snores.

Snoring has been defined as "breathing during sleep with 11 rough, hoarse noise," but that scarcely describes the wheez. ing, snorting, rasping and rum. bling that can shake a bedroom wall. Sometimes the volume is so great, there's no point in moving to another bedroomat least, not one in the same l10use.

The sound is usually caused by a vibration of the soft pal· ate and uvula, that cone· shaped piece of tissue hanging

The cures? If a person sleeps with one pillow, try adding a second-or vice versa. Tie a large knot in the snorer's pa. jama string, so that it's im· possible to sleep on the back. Take a sleeping pill, wear ear plugs. .

Or, says one expert: "Train· the subconscious mind to re· ject offensive acoustic snoring stimuli, just as it rejects vari· ous ambient noises amidst which one sleeps comfortably." He doesn't explain how that is done.

The third quarter was all Mason. Presenting il balanced attack, the Bulldogs shot away in a 23-point effort to finish the third quarter in front 62-56 and appeared on the way but Gabriels refused to knuckle under. With Curtin hitting from all over the floor Gabriels regained the lead at 68-67 with 4 minutes to go. .· ..

That's when Caltrider went into his act. He hit on a jumper, Smith added a free throw and then Caltrider bagged 3 more jumpers before Gabriels could score a point, The rest of the way Mason played the Rocks on even terms for the big win. ;

Balanced scoring was the big item in the Mason_ arsenal. Webster finished with 27, Oesterle had 19; Caltrider shot for 16 and Denny Dancer came through with 12. · ·

Holt Swamps E. Rapids By MAX GUENTHER

News Sports Writer Showing a strong defense in the opening quarter, the

Holt Rams bounded out to a 23-2, that's right 23-2, opening period lead over helpless Eaton Rapids, in the Class B District Tourney at Mason Monday night.

Eaton Rapids was 0-10 from the field and scored its 2 points on foul shots, while the Rams shot 40 percent (8-17) from the floor in the opening stanza.

Much of the credit for the evening's win must go to the excellent defense, blocked shots, and quick hands in ball stealing of the Rams.

Coach Dan Hovanesian began substituting from his bench early in the second period, and by the middle of the third period all 5 starters were on the bench.

Leading the scoring for the Rams were Scott Somers with 14 and Jerry Lester with 10. In all, 12 Holt players

· hit the scoring colunm, hitting 27 of 52 shots for 38 percent.

Holt out rebounded the 'Hounds 51-30. Ten Eaton Rapids players scored as they hit 12 of 59 shots for 20 percent. · The Rams now move to a Wednesday night contest

with. Okemos, a team that has proven to be highly troublesome at times.

Informal discussions bet we~n the individual dealers and Oliver's top officials, covering a broad range of industry interests, were held throughout the afternoons and evenings, along with free time for sightseeing and recreation. .

"Oliver is proud of its outstanding independent dealers, such as Francis Platt," Wormley said. "The

To. achieve a substantial increase in business in 1968, as each of the winning dealers did, was a remarkable accomplishment. It demonstrates that agriculture and related businesses continue as one of the most _important and vigorous sectors of our economy,"

The more significant reason is that

was a farmer and started with artificial insemination about the time that Michigan State university started it. His father has since sold his farm to Glenn Sharland's younger brother and has retired.

"I started on my own, part grade and part registered. We bred to registered bulls for 27 years. We feel the best pays," the Dansville farmer said.

Why did the Sharlands choose to become farmers? "We feel that it is a less confining type of life and a good way to bring up children. We have 5, the oldest boy is a sophomore at MSU and the next oldest will graduate from Dansville high school this year. We have added a large family room with a good sized fireplace and with our 4 bedroom house we feel adequately cared for," said the Sharlands with complete confidence.

Knitting, coo~ing, gardening, flowers, cattle, horses arc a few of the categories they have excelled in, Add to this skiing, tobogganing, skating, basketball and many more sports and pasttimes and you can well imagine how busy the younger Sharlands are, along with music lessons and such.

Mr. and Mrs. Sharland arc great square dancers. Add to this many civic duties such as being a member of the school board and you can easily see why this is a busy and a happy household,

This is another family that would prove there ·arc many plus values in farming when it comes to raising a family.

Czechosloval{ia ··· Today and To morro~.

Czechs . Voice Despair as they View Their Future By Donald E. Miller

I spent much of my time in Presov at the university. . Czechoslovakian universities, like their counterparts

in the United States, France, and Japan, arc in ferment. Students arc in revolt against old ideas, the Establishment, the Russians. Students throughout the country were, in fact, in the vanguard of th~ Dubcek liberalization drive, They were in the front lines of those who fought the Russian invasion; they protest and demonstrate and agitate to this very day.

. I learned that in Presov, university students had organized demonstrutions and sit-ins, in protest against the Russian invasion and the large garrison of Soviet troops stationed in the city. Now, during my visit, ho1vever, the university was comparatively quiet.

I had hoped, while in Presov, to talk with many people at the university. This I did. I remember, in particular, one young professor of English. I talked with him more about American problems than Czechoslovak problems, for after all, as he exclaimed, "What is :here, after all, to discuss about Czechoslovakian problems. Our future is settled, we have no choice. We never did. We go with Russia."

Curious About Vietnam He was interested and curious about Vietnam,

America's racial problems, America's attitude toward Russia and Czechoslovakia. But most of all, he showed his greatest interest -and he was the rule, not the exception, - in the Kcnnedys - John, Robert, Jackie, and Ted. Adulation of the Kennedys is not confined to the United States alone.

Though we spent some time talking about John and Ted Kennedy, his interest focused mostly on Robert Kennedy and Jackie. "Why?," he a5ked, "was he killed? He was a good man." This comment I heard at least six or seven times during my stay in Czechoslovakia. "He was a good man." I think about if often.

And Jackie Kennedy! His comments on her marriage were much the same as in the United States. "Why did she marry that old guy? Did she marry him for his money? But why? She had enough of her own, didn't she?"

Another of the people I met that day at the university, who made a great impression on me, was an administrative secretary, a woman in her forties. She had little cause to love the Russians. Her father, a doctor, had been 'sent to Siberia by the Russians at the end of World War II and had come back in 1950 or 1951 a broken man. The Russian invasion for her was simply one more sad saga in her life sponsored by Russia, Still she radiated courage and humor. I adi:nired her greatly.

l was also taken on a short tour of the liberal arts building of the university, by my fi'iend, who at 27 years of age was chairman of the university's Department of English. It was unprepossessing by American standards and rather dirty (like most buildings in Czechoslqvakia). A foul smell permeated the building. But the most

important impression I left with was thi~: where it counted, the building's facilities were excellent. For example, I saw a language laboratory there second to none. I . saw an excellent science lab, and well-lighted, well-equipped classrooms. And, the ratio of students to teachers at the liberal arts faculty of the university ,I was told, was only I 0 to I. It gave me something to think about. ·

Why Campus Unrest? My conversation· with Richard, as we toured and

. later talked, inevitably got around to student unrest, The 'target of student discontent, he told me, in Czechoslovakia, as in most other countries around the world, was the established order. Students, in fact, had been agitating for many years. They were idealists. They wanted to change things, to ·make a better life for themselves and for those who followed. And, he smiled and no.dded, there was much that needed changing. Could you blame them for trying?

For example, he told me, admission to the university was not necessarily based on ability. He had several times been forced to admit unqualified students who were the sons and daughters or relatives of Communist party

Police To Meet EAST LANSING-Michigan police officials will

tackle 2 major problems - one, new and one old • when they meet at Michigan State university March 5-7. . . Some I 00 officers from police departments in many

ctlies are expected at The Kellogg Center for Continuing Edu7a.tion for their annual Law Enforcement Adnunistrators conference.

The new challenge to the police administrator is that of collective bargaining and the arbitration process; the old one, drug abuses.

"It is only a few short years ago that the police became involved in unionization, which came about because of the reluctance of some governmental bodies to adjust wages and fringe benefits in line with rising economic trends," points out Chief Clifford Barney of Battle Creek, conference chairman.

"The law now provides for the right of police to bargain, providing that the majority, by votP., choose an organization as bargaining agents," adds Chief Barney, who also is chairman of the Training Committee, Michigan '\ssociation of Chiefs of Police (MACP).

Conference keynoter is Supt. Jolm Nichols of the Detroit police department, who will discuss the police administrator's problems in this new field of labor relations.

Robert Howlett, Grand Rapids attorney and chairman of the State Labor Mediation Board, will review the present law and its interpretations.

Two Detroit attorneys, William Saxton and Winston L. Livingston, will discuss management rights and responsibilities and what employee organizations expect of the employer, respectively.

A panel of police officials and a city manager will report on their experiences in the arbitration process. State Representative James Hines, R-Battle Creek, will consider the tights and responsibilities of the individual.

The drug.• and narcotic problem and the telephone company's role in he fight against crime will be discussed by other specialists.

Sponsoring the conference arc the MACP Training Committee and MSU's School of Police Administration and Public Safety.

members. Though a pmctical man, Richard still clings to the idealism of his youth. Tolling this story upset him,

Students, 'he said, also wanted a voice in the running of the university. They demanded a vote and a·voice in the highest administrative councils of the university and backed this up by class boycotts and sit-ins. Eventually they got what they wanted. it was still 1oo early, he said,

· to judge their performance, but he was clearly for giving them a chance -if only becuase he felt they couldn't do any worse than those already wielding power.

As if to support this conversation, I had noticed a sign ·on one of the university bulletin boards during the tour. It announced a meeting of one of the student governing groups. "Come to the next meeting of the Student Government Council. Participate. Speak your mind. Vote. This isn't like former student government councils. We're n.o longer a rubber stamp. We have the vote; we have the power. And we want to usc It for you." ·

Dean's office. This was nol the dean's office at the university, but it was the name of a nearby tavern, very popular with students. We talked, and we drank. Mostly, I

guess, we drank.-And after we had drunk enough, we sang. Richard would sing a Czechoslovak song and I would follow with an American song. So Jt went into the early hours of the next morning,' I was told. I didn't remember.

Nor did I recall the songs I had sung, on behalf of

America. Later on, I was told thnt I had sung stirring renditions of the national anthem, "America The Beautiful," "This Land Is My Land," "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," and "Moon River." Much ofthc singing elsewhere in the Dean's Office - for singing in Czechoslovakia always accompanies drinking - had stopped, and the other people in the tavern watched' and listened to the American songs being sung less than 60 miles from the Russian· border. A co.uple of times, I was told, they applauded, I 'II just have to believe it, I guess, for I honestly don't remember.

This day in Presov, as I reflect upon it, was most unusual. I had learned a great deal about Czechoslovakia· that day, and about what it meant to be a citizen of Czechoslovakia,

As I thought further about. it, I also had probably learned a good deal more about what it meant to be an American. I thought about my country and its jJroblcms and I felt, that day in Czechoslovakia, that we in America could and would solve our problems. I felt good.

':::,Rumors of New Lake inlngham The Ingham County News, Wednesday, March 5, 1969 ·Page ij·9

,, ' ;11 ,,., By CLARA STRANGE

News Special Writer . ;.· Much discussion has arlscn' · over the probable lake ··::~outh of Noble road being tentatively considered by the ;;, Grand River Watershed council by danuning Do an creek :::south of Noble road beginning in Wheatfield townsl~ip.

This is still in the study stage. The CooQrdmatlng :· cominittee which would plan tllis consists of six federal

agencies in Michigan. Am~ng them is a corps of ~ngincers . .. In this particular study t~u~ .group !las been des1gnated as .· the chairmanship responsJbJhty for 1t. .

, So far it has been suggested that there be three pools in the Red Cedar complex.

None of these pools will be square. :· One dam is suggested cast of Van Etta road on the

Red Cedar river which would form the Okemos pool. ' The second dam still on the Red Cedar river would · · be just cast of Harris 'road and will form the Williamston , pool. .

The third one would be on Doan creek JUSt south of Noble road but covering approximately the area shown on

• the pictured map. This would be the Doan Pool. , .. To some the good that would accrue seems to be ··.coming to the fore, namely that having this large body of ~·water would lessen the possibility of loss of crops from ' flooding· which has occurred in the past, It would '· certainly have fish and wild life benefits, recreation values

and would stabilize the quality of water by cutting down tlic pollution probabilities tremendously. . .

These benefits mentioned would be reg10nal m " nature and will serve a need of this particular area where' · fish wild life and recreational benefits are concerned.

' So far, the whole plan Iws just reached the stag~ of being declared "feasible" say those who heard about 1t at

• the Wheatfield Township Hall and the Van Town Church. · It was noted that there would be 2700 water acres in the . Pool and all of the frontage being publically owned with ; no private frontage being allowed. ' Many who at first thought it completely wrong ha~e . since taken stock of the acreages they have lost 111 : f I o o d in g , and the possibility that ~hey might. be : dispossessed oflands' thr?ugh the. p~pulat1on explos10~ . which would mean contmuous bmldmg up of even the1r : farms and homes that they have built for declining years • bymany who have not reached the sunset strip of life. : 'Some ·of the farms constitute Centennial Farms wluch .·· mean these acreages have been within the same fantily for

100 years or more. It has definitely become a way of life ' with them.

There are those too,who argue that since Doan creek has been a source of drainage for many farms below the planned lake this cannot take place since, by law, drainage

' cannot be taken away from farms. Members of the Watershed council say that drainage

will not be impaired by such lakes but should it be, the ; . council would correct it.

Those in the area knew of the proposed pools only because Michigan State University students from the

:·. Archaeological division came asking if they could be · directed to the best sources of Indian artifacts since they ~· would like to search for them before the area was . inundated. ~ Many such artifacts have been found on these fa~ms.

From them it would appear that two types of Ind1ans

lived in this area, those who caret'utly made arrowheads, tomahawk heads, pipes and such and those' who matle Inferior ones, ·

The Traver Collection, especially, would bear this out.

The accompanying map will show the suggested area the 2700 water acres of the'Doan Pool would cover.

Leon Albro has returned home from Lansing General hospital following surgery. He must be at home for nearly a month before returning to work.

Mrs. John Gingas entertained the Royal Daughters of the First Congregational church Tuesday night.

Mrs. Ford Chapman had as dinner guests Sunday, Mrs. George Eckman, Mrs. Lucy Disenroth, and Mrs. HarJo Smith.

Mrs . .0 .G. Chamberlain says she is grateful to be through the January term of jury duty but says she enjoyed it thoroughly and learned a great deal.

Congressman Charles E. Chamberlain (R.-Mich.) announced today the opening of his annual Sixth Distict questionnaire project saying, "With a new Administration as well as a new Congress now taking a fresh look at the important issues facing our Nation, I am particularly

~·Trailer Park Ordinance •,

;OK'd With Some Changes LESLIE- City Attorney Bruce King appeared before

the city council Monday night to present the changes made in the city ordinance respecting trailer parks. The suggested changes were accepted. It was noted that nothing within the ordinance would relieve the builder from any sections of the building code. All wiring must be underground; there must be one central TV antenna.

Don Haynes asked if there was provision for the police to go into the Trailer park but the City Attorney thought if asked by the owner or manager of the Trailer

' Park the Police could go into the park. Gary Davenport appeared to ask if anything had

been done in regard to group insurance for employees. He was asked to bring to the council full particulars on cost and what such cost covered.

It was stated that the former pickle factory would be burned and that firemen had said they would donate their services for such burning. It was suggested that it might be well to burn it while it was still somewhat wet so that it would burn more slowly.

The council moved to adopt the changes made in the City Ordinance namely in regard to footage required on the outside lots that abutted on the street.

The matter of littering from the City Limits to the Onondaga Dump was brought up with the definite

· warning that there is great penalty that could be exacted for such littering.

It was also decided by the Council to give the date of April 7th to the Rezoning hearing of the Kelly Property asked to be rezoned to Trailer Property.

Bills of the previous month were voted to be paid. The main issue of the Council meeting, namely the

budget for the ensuing year of June 30th, 1969 to July · 1st, 1970 was taken up.

The main point at issue seemed to be whether the voters "':anted a second police officer badly enough to pay extra 11111lage to get one. It was decided to. "Sound out" the people on tltis matter when the coming year's budget stands at $78,292.20.

.-.... It was noted that the new budget took into account ~:the urgent need to pay the assessor $200.00 more than ; ·last year because of extra work required of him. . . .

simple "yes or no" categories, the Congressman stated, "The ten questions have been selected purposely to reflect a wide range of general and specific items, as for example in the queries relating to labor and welfare legislation as well as our farm and space programs." .

The seven-term Representative continued, "Among the early decisions that Congress will face is whether or not, given the state of the economy and the budgetary conditions inherited from the previous Administration, the I 0% surcharge should be extended beyond June 30. I have therefore provided several alternative responses to help better gauge grass- roots opinion."

A 1 s o included are questions concerning the 18 year old vote, a proposed overhaul of the postal system, additional gun control legislation and Electoral College reform. Chamberlain added, ."All indications point to widespread approval for changing the way we elect our President. Because of the many differing plans put

G.O.P. Bids. Youth Welcome

The youih of Michigan this week received a carte blanche invitation to political involvement from Republican State Chairman William McLaughlin as he named State Representative Michael A. Dively his special advisor for youth activities.

At the same time, McLaughlin also announced the appointment of the State Central conunittee's new Youth Director, 28-year-old Lansing, Donald F. Barrows.

Basic responsibilities for the tandem will be the coordination and direction of all GOP youth programs throughout the State.

"Too many people," said McLaughlin, "seem bent upon a sweeping condemnation of today's young men and women. I just don't buy that. A relative handful of unruly dissenters gain public attention and a studerit body of thousands is categorica~ly chastised.

"It is this majority that is seeking decent and legitimate identification and leadership in many areas, among them politics and government, and it is to this majority that I want told the Republican story.

"There are 15 Republican members of the House of Representatives under 37 years of age, three of them under 30. This is the Republican Party that some young adults feel is the party of the aged.

"Not only do I invite this majority to listen but I urge them to come and be heard by the leadership of the state Republican party. We are interested not only in them, but in their ideas, in what they can contribute to the better

;world for which we aU hope.

"And let me make this abundantly clear. No one has to shave his beard before he comes to my office. . . ,

Dively (I 04th District) is a graduate of Williams College (Mass.) and the Universily of Michigan Law School. He is currently serving his first term in the House. .

He is a director of the Traverse City Kiwanis and past assistant vice-chairman of the Grand Traverse United Conununity fund,

Barrows attended Lansing Community College and Michigan State University before launching his political career with the "Romney for Governor" campaign in 1964.

The St. Clair Shores native has also done campaign work for State Representative Phil Pittenger, Congressmen Charles Chamberlain and Garry Brown,

forward, a special four-part answer has been provided to clarify the direction that such reform should or should not take." · Anticipating the 1970 Federal Census, Chamberlain in

addition. is giving respondents an opportunity to say whether the nature and scope of next year's census should be limited or expanded.

The East Lansing Congressman emphasized that although he must ultimately exercise and be responsible for his own judgment in voting, "I have always found my annual questionnaire project a most helpful tool in representing the citizens of our Sixth Congressional District." He concluded, "I am particularly grateful to the newspapers throughout the District who have cooperated in printing the questionnaire as a public service to insure the widest possible distribution, for I always like to hear from as many as possible."

THE. WINNER!·Daniel Tostevin, B·year·old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Tostevin of Dansville, is the winner of a trophy for the . Troop 770 Pinewoqd Derby staged February 24. Dan is a member of Den 4.

Grandpa called himself "a retired handy-man!' But in those days lumber was cheap and bbor wasn't, So when they said "we can't afford to build a church," Grandpa disagreed,

"Get me the boards and a few strong fellows to set the beams, I'll build your church," said Grandpa! . Before he finished, there were fifty men and lots of dollars
