By LAURIE KIPP County News Writer

BATH - A crowd of approximately 80 persons crammed the township hall's meeting room Monday night, and presented supervisor Roy VanSickle and the township board with petitions calling for a public apology and withdrawal of VanSickle's recent statement that Park Lake is unfit for swimming.

The petitions, recently circulated throughout the Bath Twp area, also accused VanSickle of showing "poor conpetence and judgement" in issding his statement to the press, and requested the township board ask for his resignation if an apology is not made.

Amid mumbling from the crowd, VanSickle reiterated his earlier statement that, "I believed what I said over a month ago to be true and necessary" and added that, "I regret that the State Journal handled the statement in a poor and tasteless manner."

VANSICKLE CITED the headline used for the story and the "brevity" as well as "partial quotes" in his accusation.

When he asked the board what they wished to do with the petitions, Trustee Daniel Carleton moved, supported by treasurer Thomas Woodruff, that they be accepted as a matter of record. Motion carried.

Park Lake resident Melvin Fisk was the 1st to speak to the board, and demanded that VanSickle provide proof to back up his statement that the lake is polluted.

VanSickle said that he had read 1/2 page of a Department of Natural Resources report to the State Journal reporter and he (the reporter) "saw fit to pick out" certain portions of Van-Sickle's statements and use them.

DICK WHITED, another area .resident, stated, "If the lake is polluted we should face up to the fact." He suggested that it be tested again. "Somewhere along the line we should be able to get some answers," he said.

Other comments from residents ' ranged from, "Why weren't the people who were supposed to be polluting the lake notified at the last dye test?" to an assertion from Mike Baker that "We don't need a sewer. Park Lake isn't polluted."

Fisk compared the amount of pollution he felt the lake contains to a cup of coffee. "You can't hardly find a drop of milk in coffee after it's stirred," he said.

After much haggling annmg residents, treasurer Woodruff moved that the board ask the DNR to reexamine the lake to see if it is unfit for swimming and fishing, and advise the board of their results. The motion was supported by trustee Carleton and carried unanimously.

RESIDENT RICHARD -HAWKINS suggested that everybody who signed a petition show up at Park Lake on Sunday morning and "jump in" so the State Journal could take a picture. He noted that a person cannot swim without getting water in his eyes, mouth, etc, and implied that this would be a good way to see what happens to swimmers in the lake.

Fisk said "we need sewers and we need them bad," but questioned why the township hasn't obtained federal aid for building them.

VanSickle said the township has already filled out a 1974 application, but noted that only the top 18 on a priority

•list have received help.

MANY OF THOSE -suspensions, it was reported, consisted of telling a disciplined student to go home and return to school with his parents to discuss the problem.

Twenty-eight students were placed on probation, most of those due to excessive absences.

A total of 379 eighth hours, after school between 3:30-4:30 were assigned.

10th District Congressman Elford Cederberg is making political use of his congressional franking | privilege.

Brauker accuses Cederberg of sending out 179,000 questionnaires that could be used for "purely political purses." If forced to pay the current postage rate of eight cents per letter, the cost of the mailing would be, $14,320, Brauker claims.

"If the Congressman's intention is to take an accurate poll of his con-stitutents," Brauker said, "for $14,320, he could hire a profess ional polling organization to take a much more accurate poll than the questionnaire could give. But I do not think that was the Congressman's intention. I believe the poll is for strictly political purposes."

The franking privilege gives congressmen the right to send official mail through

I the postal system at no 1 <:harge.

According to Brauker, Cederberg's office reported

,, fcha't not all of the questionnaires had been tabulated, but that in a similar poll last year about 10% of the questionnaires mailed out were returned.

BRAUKER CONTENDS that the poll is, "blatently political because for one reason it calls for a return address by the constituent These in turn can be categorized by the Congressman for future use."

The Congressional Action Committee was formed last March by the 25 year old Brauker, to keep an eye on what was happening in W a s h i n g t o n , a n d periodically report to the. people of Michigan.

"In this time of concern for political abuses of power, I think it is essential that we take a good look at all of our political leaders and see how they conduct their business, Braukersaid, "otherwise the people may be shortchanged in the end.

According to Brauker, there are two basic rules of politics, "Get your name out to the public, and compute lists of favorable people that can be of help in a campaign. By mailing these questionnaires Cederberg has managed to accomplish both."

Board discusses

blacktop, carpet Also discussed at the

•'•Wednesday Board of Education meeting were several playground paving projects for elementary schools in the system.

The board was told problems arose this spring

'when continuous rains made playground areas excessively muddy preventing children from playing outside and creating cleaning and maintenance problems in the school buildings.

The paving was approved by board members, who also approved purchase " of window shades and carpeting for Rodney B. Wilson Junior High where a large study hall was formerly located.

It is estimated it will cost almost $5000 to replace and install worn window shades in many of the rooms in the district.

THE PROPOSED carpeting is to recover a floor on which seats were, at 1 time, bolted to the cement floor and the remainder of the room covered with linoleum.

The board was tola carpeting is the most practical approach for covering the floor and a price of approximately $3415 would cover the price of preparing the floor and installing commercia carpeting. The board approved the expenditure.

The board also accepted a low bid of $5253 from Lansing Office Equipment to replace 25 typewriters.

Action on approving gasoline offer from Gulf and a bid from St Johns Oil Company was tabled until the next meeting when an offer in writing will be obtained from Gulf.

St Johns Oil Company was the only firm to bid on the gasoline and said they would supply the gas at a rationed 11,000 gallons per month.

GULF SAID they,would also supply the system with gasoline, but could only do it on a month-to-month basis.

In other business, the board set the date for their regular monthly meetings as the 2nd Wednesday of every month.

"All boys are to report to the locker room of the high school at 9:45 on Aug 14 and then will be bused to the hospital.

"MORE INFORMATION concerning the junior high physicals will be announced at a later date.

These must be done by your family physician and will be accepted as soon as your appointment is complete. We realize that it will not be possible for all the school physicals to be completed before school begins.

An Innovator in the Building Industry Adds Another "Supermarket"

/

Lore is Manager At New Alma Center

James Lore, Manager of the new Alma center, has enjoyed a brief but very successful four-year association with Wickes. Earmarked as a "Wickes man in motion", he has, through proven managerial skills, served the people of Michigan with lumber and building supplies since 1969.

At the onset of his career with Wickes, Lore was a participant in the Manager-ln-Tratning Program at the

lumber center in Mason. After spending four months there, he made a move to the Saginaw center.

As a trainee, he was given a special opportunity to learn more of the workings of Wickes by managing the Warehouse Clearance Sale at the Wickes Marine Terminal in Bay City.

Following the completion of his MIT training in October of 1971, he was transferred to the center in Auburn, where he enriched his background while working as the Operations-Assistant Manager.

From June of 1972, until his March 1973 promotion to Manager at the new Alma center was announced, Lore was employed as the Consumer Sales-Assistant ManagePat the Mason center.

Utilizing his valuable experience and his excellent awareness of the Michigan consumer's lumber and building supply needs, Lore will provide area residents with a wide variety of quality-products and friendly service.

Several Types of Credit Are Available

When a customer decides to make a credit purchase at a Wickes Lumber Center, there are several credit plans from which they can choose.

Besides being able to use nationally-accepted Master Charge and Bank AmeriCard, the customer also has the option of using the "Wickes Time Payment Plan", which allows for deferred payment over a specified length of time.

Wickes Today Is A Growing "Family of Companies"

The Wickes Corporation of Saginaw, in its continuing effort to serve this Michigan community and many other communities throughout the country, is opening Its 251st lumber and building supply center, in Alma.

Careful consideration of the growth patterns and the expanding market conditions in this area confirmed the decision to add a new center to the chain of centers that Wickes operates. Long before Wickes entered the lumber business, it was a manufacturer of machine tools, boilers, and graphite.

In 1950, the company went into the grain business, and also acquired "five retail lumber yards that became the nuclei of what has now developed into their chain of centers.

Along with these lumber yar'ds, came Joseph S. McMullen and his idea to sell building supplies through cash-and-carry supermarkets, like A. & P. in groceries.

When the company conducted a thorough analysis of the way in which building materials were distributed, they found the method of distribution was archaic, so McMullen was given a chance to implement his idea

In 1952, McMullen was given $15,000 and an used warehouse at an old

World War II terminal in Bay City Michigan where the first center started. Since the first center was a quick success, other similar centers were opened in the next few years, but it was not unitl 1957 that the company felt it had acquired enough know-how in the field to warrant aggressive expansion. Through internal growth and acquisitions, the number of Wickes Centers has been greatly increased, serving contractors, do-it-yourself

, homeowners and farmers in many states.

Othercompanies havesince adopted similar distribution methods, but Wickes is byâr the largest-both in number of Centers and in dollar volume—and the most successful. Building Supply News, a national publication, stated that Wickes... "has made an impact on building material distribution unprecedented in the history of the industry".

It is now agreed throughout the industry that modern distribution as pioneered by Wickes is here to stay in the building supply field. In time, it is expected to account for the vast majority of sales in shelter materials, the oldest business in America

Aggressive Expansion •". V Undertaken in 1957

Now a highly diversified retailing, manufacturing, and agricultural organization, The Wickes Corporation as late as 1950, was a manufacturer of machine tools, boilers and graphite products.

In that year, while diversifying into the grain business, the firm also acquired five lumber yards and thus, began its entry into the circle of major U.S. corporations.

The company has integrated its many divisions through a "unique and total shelter capabilities" concept.

Wickes can furnish lumber and materials to build conventional homes and for remodeling existing homes, and the furnishings to go in them. Wickes can also provide mobile homes! campers and travel trailers. Wickes produces commertcal and Industrial buildings which range from auditoriums to airplane hangers. Wickes not only supplies housing for people but also provides shelter for

farm animals as well as storage for grain and farm crops.

Listed among the principal divisions and subsidiaries that carry out the aforementioned activities are: Behlen Manufacturing Company, Behleti-Wickes Limited, Kux Machine, Lewis Lumber Company, Michigan Bean Company, Monitor Coach Company, Monanty Corporations of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, Ritz-Kraft Incorporated, Saginaw Grain Company, Saginaw Machine and Tool Company, Sequoia Forest Industries Incorporated, United "States Graphite Company, Valiant Mobile Home, Wickes Lumber and Building Supplies, Wickes Machine Tools, Wickes Marine Terminal Company, Wickes Furniture, and Lee L. Woodard Sons Incorporated.

Wickes also has three subsidiaries in Canada—a mobile home plant in Stand Off, Alberta; a plant in Brandon, Manitoba, manufacturing outbuildings and shelters; and a travel trailer plant in Lethbridge, Alberta.

> Starting tomorrow the Public is cordially invited to stop in and visit our. newest lumber center, located at 3680 West Monroe Street. Courteous and expertly trained personnel will be on hand to provide the assistance and information your building or remodeling plans may require.

Looking At a Center From The Inside Many Wickes centers consist of a

showroom of 8,000 to 10,000 square feet and an attached warehouse of about 24,000 square feet.

At Alma, the showroom covers a 5,000 square-foot area, while the warehouse covers 10,400 square feet.

Centers, such as A lma , stock from 5,000 to 10,000 items, many of which bear brand names such as, Owens/Corning, Black & Decker, Frig-idaire, Briggs & Stratton, Borg-Warner, and others.

The list of items includes such products as wood and aluminum windows, doors, kitchen cabinets, lumber, plywood supplies, paneling and matching accessories, electrical and heating materials, bath vanities and fixtures, appliances, and floor coverings, plus many, many more.

Modern business techniques and computers are used fdr stock and inventory control, enabling branch managers to maintain adequate merchandise supplies.

Purchasing is centralized In the offices In Saginaw*; Michigan, but once a manufacturer becomes an approved supplier, individual branch managers are free to order from him • directly.

From its successful beginning in Michigan. The Lumber Division, of the Wickes Corporation, has now extended its chain of centers considerably, with links in 35 states.

Since their inception in 1952, the number of centers has continually increased. In 1957, aggressive expansion was undertaken, and by 1960, 41 centers were in operation.

Within the following five years, another 76 lumber centers were added to the roster, which gave the company

a total of 117 centers at the end of 1965. In the next ftve-year period, even more lumber centers were added than in the previous five years So by the end of 1970. after an addition of 104 centers, the total number was 221.

The opening of the Alma center brings the number of Wickes "supermarkets" to 251 across the country.

The Wickes Lumber Division also has 6 centers in the Netherlands, and a center in Manchester, England.

Wickes Newest

The newest member of the Wickes family of companies is the Retail Furniture Division. The first Furniture Warehouse/Showroom which was opened in the Minneapolis suburb of Fridley, Minnesota, during July of 1971, has won wide customer acceptance.

Unlike the typical furniture store, customers enter the Wickes complexes through a 240-foot-long main aisle which leads them through the 100,000 square foot warehouse section to the showroom area.

Once inside the showroom, the customers can browse and select furniture from some 250 fujly-decorated room settings. Every item on display is "for sale" and immediately available from stock.

As soon as the customers makes a decision, the order is relayed to the

warehouse. Specially designed lift equipment removes the furniture from 30-foot high storage racks, and takes it to the dock for customer pick-up or delivery. These 150,000 square foot, single-level stores were designed and built for efficient movement of fur-, nishings in unprecedented volume.

hew principal DEWITT - Fred Goers, 30, has been

named principal of DeWitt High School, replacing Don Mueller, who resigned to accept a position as superintendent in the Carsonville School System.'

Goers previously served as assistant principal at Montrose High School. He served in that capacity for the past 4 years, after serving for 5 years as geometry, physics and driver education teacher. '

Goers is a graduate of Michigan State University. He obtained a bachelor of science degree in mathematics in 1964 and later earned his master of arts in secondary education curriculum.

A native of Chicago, he moved with his family to Saugatuck in 1949 and is a graduate of Saugatuck High School.

East- Court and Richard M. Smith, 19, 119 Elm, Ovid, were issued citations by the Dept of Natural Resources July 1 for riding on prohibited trails in Sleepy Hollow State Park.

They were fined $10 apiece plus $11 costs and $4. judgement fees.'

The Mid-Michigan Health Department is seeking the younger members of families receiving assistance from the Department of Social Services, so that they may become involved in a program to detect health problems.

Aurang stressed that eligibility will be determined and appointments for the clinic will be made by the Social Services Department in each county.

A TOTAL OF 4198 young people should be eligible in the 3 counties. However, Dr Aurang said that he expects about half of those eligible to be seen by the clinics. In explanations to the Gratiot County Board of Commissioners earlier this year, Dr Aurang said that the program will be somewhat

experimental.. Questions as to .the number of people it will serve etc will-be worked out with actual-operation. Montcalm has the most eligible, children with 1714, while ,1483 are projected as eligible in Gratiot County and 1001 in Clinton

The clinics stem from an amendment to the Social Security Act of 1967 that, requires "early and periodic screening diagnosis and treatment" (EPSDT) for children and adults under 21, whose families are receiving public assistance. Aurang said that through a .contract' with the Michigan State-Department of Health, the Mid-Michigan Health Department will be responsible for screening only.

Staffed by a doctor, a nurse, a nurses aid. a technician and a clerk, the team

will travel throughout the 3 counties in order to operate clinics on a regular schedule,

The tentative schedule calls for the clinic to be in Gratiot County on Wednesdays, Montcalm! County on" Mondays and Clinton County on every other Tuesday. Hours in each county will be from 9-12 and 1-4 with the clinics to be held in existing Health Department facilities. • :••••-•'

The Health Department in Gratiol County is located at 204 S Main, Ithaca .{875-3681); Clinton, 106 Maple St, St Johns (224-2195) and Montcalm, Courthouse, Stanton (831-5770).

Six things will be involved in the screening process, according to Dr Aurang, from a health history and physical inspection to explaining the findings to the child and accompanying adult.

Tri-Cûnty Regional Planning

re-structure set for August The move to 'restructure

the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC), to make it more responsive to regional needs through expanded membership, is expected to be completed in August, said Gerald Shepar'd By-laws Committee chairman. Current plans call for expanding the membership from 9 to 18 members.

Previously, two county commissioners and one at-large representative from Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham made up the TCRPC. At-large representatives were chosen by the county boards of commissioners. This representation will remain the same.

In the expansion, the Commission will gain nine

-It has also been suggested that the organization's name change to Tri-County Coordinating Council. A

.commission signifies a narrow topic area and structure, whereas, a council suggests a broader structural base and a wider range of topics, said Gordon Swix TCRPC chairman. Before TCRPC was .primarily concerned with land use. It is no longer a single purpose organization, Swix added. Its programs now include human resources, housing, and criminal justice planning. TCPRC's responsibilities as a regional clearinghouse (for grant reviews have also increased. Swix pointed out that all of these factors make it a necessity to have more input by other aeenri*«j

Present TCRPC funding is will be asked to assume 16% apportioned from the three of the total budget. counUes.Shepard explained. Twenty-five per cent of the yearly budget consists of equal contributions from the three counties* The remaining 75 per cent is apportioned among the counties on the basis of state equalized valuation.

It was reported that the type of child at the home has changed from the neglected child to the delinquent child;

Because of that, the nature of the care at the home will now include extensive counseling.

Veterans urged to review records

Because many armed service records were recently destroyed by the massive fire at the National Records Center in St Louis, veterans are urged to review the status of their personal military records, according to Greta deWolf, of the American Red Cross. Mrs deWolf is director of the Mid-Michigan Chapter of Service to Military Families.

" S e p a r a t i o n and/or discharge papers should be recorded with the office of the county clerk," she stated, "because a recorded copy, could be readily obtained when needed for a job, sudden hospitalization or

f other benefits." She recommends that

military records be retained retained in a permanent, fireproof place, such as a bank deposit box.

Veterans who suffered a

service connected injury anu have not filed for compensation with the Veterans Administration are advised to place in safe keeping letters and other evidence relative to their case.

For information, or assistance, veterans may contact Mrs deWolf at the Red Cross, 484-7461 or contact members of the Lansing Area Task Force.

Trains transported *soil fertility testing

A Michigan State University agricultural economist feeds perforated data cards into a touch-tone telephone computer terminal and a computer miles away at the University of Michigan evaluates the information in seconds.

This is the way soil fertility is tested in Michigan today.

But in 1926 there were no computers, no'perforated cards, no touch-tone telephones, and no Michigan State University.

In April of that year Michigan State College, in, cooperation with the New York Central railroad, ran the Soil Fertility Train through the farmlands of southeastern Michigan.

From April 5 to April 21, 1926, the train covered the area testing soil samples and making fertilizer recommendations to the farmers on the basis of the results.

New York Central donated three coaches to the project;' one contained charts and exhibits and was used for lectures and discussions; another was a laboratory car for testing the soil samples, and the other housed the people involved in the project.

One of those that resided in the third car is James Porter, associate professor emeritus of the soil science department at MSU.

Porter, an undergraduate at MSC when he boarded the train in 1926, says of the project, "The railroad was happy to oblige us because it meant increased revenue for them. Our primary message "to the farmers was to use lime, and since the great bulk of the lime had to be shipped in by Tail the company stood to. make money."

According to a report filed in the MSU Archives, the

purpose of the train was to "...sound the alarm against further depletion of soil fertility."

The train reached 5,000 people directly in slightly more than two weeks, despite poor road conditions due to a wet spring, and thousands more indirectly through newspapers and leaflets, and by word of mouth.

According to the Archives report, "advice given by the men of MSC was worth hundreds of dollars to the individual farmers and was in every case practical, conservative, and founded on sound economic and scientific principles."

The majority of the soil samples tested were found to lack lime.

"It got to the point where we could just about advise the use of lime before performing the soil test," Porter recalled. "There was one town that had us .puzzled though," he said. "The lime content in the soil was what it should have been, and the farmers claimed they had never added lime. As I gazed out the window, pondering the problem, I noticed a nearby cement factory smokestack belching a white substance. It seems the prevailing winds in the area distributed an even blanket of lime, which was a byproduct of the cement-making process, on the nearby farms."

Many of the train's, exhibits and posters, though' simple and brief, contained important messages to the farmers.

Slogans like, "Crops will retreat if soil is mistreated," or "The four horsemen of soils are drainage, organic matter, lime, and fertilizers," and "lime this year-don't put it off, put it on," were easy to remember and were passed on readily, one farmer to another.

The communica t ion between farmers was cruicial to the project's success.

"The purpose of the University Extension Service has always been to demonstrate proven im-provements-and-ertcourager*-adoption," Porter points out. "We found that if a few farmers in the community

got favorable results from e x p e r i m e n t i n g wi th something new, then this had a greater impact on the rest than anything we could say or do. Our philosophy was to interest a few and thus interest the rest.

The train" was a great success, according to Porter, because itspeeded up the use of lime by years.

A main reason for its success was the advance notices distributed by the railroad and MSC.

"When we pulled into a town it was like the circus had arrived," Porter said. "Everyone from curious farmers and their wives to jubilant high school students out of school on a spring field trip turned out to meet us. We were more than just a service, we were an event"

The computerized soil analysis of today is far more sophisticated and accurate than the rolling laboratory Porter worked on, but the way they did it back in 1926 must have been far more exciting and a lot more fun.

Farm visits to determine

1973 compliance for programs

Sealed Power Corporation has announced it has acquired F. P. Smith Corporation, Melrose Park, 111.

Gordon E. Reynolds, chairman and president of Sealed Power, said the acquisition was made for an undisclosed amount of cash and notes. P. P. Smith manufactures automotive transmission oil filters for distribution' to i original equipment makers and to the replacement market. The privately-owned company has annual sales of approximately $3-1/2 million.

"This acquisition should, be mutually beneficial to both companies," Reynolds said. "Sealed Power will acquire a new product line compatible with its present line of engine parts and F. P. Smith will benefit from Sealed Power's advanced research and development capability and its worldwide distribution channels."

Reynolds said F. P. Smith would be operated as a separate division of Sealed Power. He added that the

present management of the company, including President Elmer E. Ward, would be retained.

S e a l e d P o w e r , ; headquartered in Muskegon,' is a leading manufacturer of piston rings and precision

parts for tne automotive and other industries. It has manufacturing facilities.'in • Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, t Kentucky, Texas and, with the new'acquisition, Illinois, as well as in Canada and Mexico.

The period for farmers to enroll in the 1973 Federal farm programs is past. The period in which farmers certify their land use is past. Dorn Diehl, State Executive Director of the Michigan Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Conservation Service Office, states that farms are now visited to determine compliance in relation to their

intentions and requirements. Twenty percent of the farms enrolled in the State will be visited by a representative of the local county ASCS office to assure the government that program requirements have been met and that any payments have been iully earned.

Diehl further points out that these visits are to determine if an adequate

acreage of land has been retired from production; that the land is cropland equal in production to the average for the farm; that the permitted acreage of corn and wheat has not been exceeded and that there is ample acreage of corn and wheat to protect crop

These are some of the requirements that must be met in order for the producer

to receive his full program payment.

Diehl points out that last year, there were 960 discrepancies found which

resulted in the reduction in payment of $160,000. Producers suffered this loss because they did not follow the rules of USDA programs.

From 2 reporters to 90 lawyers For those who claim they're sick of hearing about the

Watergate mess, here's a note to make us all feel ill. Archibald Cox, special prosecutor appointed to head the

Watergate case, has submitted a budget of around $3 million including the retaining of 90 attorneys.

That boggles the mind when you consider the whole thing started through the work of only 2 reporters from the Washington Post.

Instead of the 90 lawyers, it might save the nation a bundle of money to hire the 2 reporters and Martha Mitchell.

View from the Senate

By. SCII. /ILIIAM S. BALLENGER

Motorists hoping that their gas tax will be cut tteck the'2 cents it was increased early this year probably should be advised not to count on it.

While a citizens' petition drive to repeal the tax has passed one hurdle, it has been temporarily stymied by action of the State Court of Appeals — and the State Supreme Court looms as a final test no matter how the appellate court rules.

The Court of Appeals last week ordered the State Board of Canvassers to delay by 20 days the certification of the referendum petitions

'which would have automatically ended the collection of the two cent gas tax increase until the issue could be voted upon in November, 1974.

The court ordered the 'delay to give it time to determine whether the issue

* legally Was subject to a referendum.*At issue is whether the law passed last year is an appropriation measure since it was tied in with one ..appropriating money to communities' for mass transportation.' Under

.the State Constitution, an "appropriation bill cannot be halted by a referendum even if the referendum is signed by every eligible voter in Michigan,

Earlier, the Attorney General ruled/that the law was net an appropriation and said the State Board - of

Canvassers could certify the petitions if about 133,000 valid signatures were found on the petitions.

WHILE THE BOARD of Canvassers didn't have to rule on the sufficiency of the petition signatures Monday as expected because of the stay ordered by the Court of Appeals, word around the Capitol was the backers of* the petition drive had obtained sufficient signatures to make it valid.

Arrayed against the more than 150,000 persons fighting to get the tax increase, removed are some pretty formidable opponents — notably the County Road Association of Michigan, six "different county road commissions, an>d the Michigan* State Highway Commission* • ' t

The road building groups have a big stake in the issue because if they were to lose the 2*cent gas tax increase, their income would be reduced by millions of dollars. • . ' ,

The gas tax increase was part of an over-all transportation package pushed by, Governor Milliken that also included a bill to divert one-half > cent in gas taxes for mass transit purposes,

This one-half cent tax money was to have been taken out of the 2-cent increase, and the rest was to

have been used for highway construction purposes.

THERE HAS . BEEN speculation around the Capitol that, even if the court upholds the constitutionality of the referendum and the people vote to remove the 2-cent tax increase, the one-half cent per gallon tax would still have to be set aside for mass transit pruposes.

If this happens, highway and road construction obviously would receive less funds, instead of more, than they had been receiving before the''2-cent per gallon hike was passed, The

"citizens of my 30th Senatorial District, clearly shortchanged under the new transportation package' funding formula, ironically would come out wofse than ever!

HELPFUL HINT* In a settled neighborhood property taxes are apt

to be more stable.

A few years ago, when I lived in a neighboring county, I became frustrated with the telephone service and, taking advantage of the free enterprise system, organized my own telephone company.

A year later, I reported, because of the overwhelming request for service from my company, I was forced to shut down operations. It was simply too much to try to satisfy all the customers who wanted my service instead of the other company's. •

Known as the Jim Edwards Ball 'O String and Tin Can Telephone Company, it has been out of operation for over 2 years.

However, after moving to Clinton County and experiencing once again frustration, anger, despair, and a sprained finger sustained striking a telephone which refused to emit a dial tone or complete a long distance call to such faraway places as Fowler, Bath Township and Ovid, it is time to consider offering the public an alternative.

A public information meeting is being scheduled to explain the operation of Ball 'O String to prospective customers.

So that those interested may have a general idea of the operation of such7a service, I will explain the simple, but just as effective utility system.

To put the system in operation, it is necessary to obtain large numbers of tin cans (empty, of course) and miles and miles of string. Because of the amount of string, needed, full implementation of the company' will not be possible until after the next spring kite season, when Ball 'O String SRs (string retrievers) capture wayward kites and string from trees and rooftops.

Then, installation of the service would get underway full steam.

Ball rO String customers will be offered a full variety of transmitting-receiving cans. Borrowing a name from yet another company, a perfect choice for a bedside phone would be the Princess Can. These are painted small orange and tomato juice cans in a variety of attractive colors.

Regular transmitter-receivers are made of highly polished soup and vegetable cans.

Because of the revolutionary concept of the Ball 'O String company, it will be unheard of to dial a'call to, say Fowler or Bath. You simply pick up the can and yell (as you do now when you finally complete

I I • © •

Get Thee i . . . •<« in "

nij .

the call). When you pick up the can, it is simple to reach your party by merely shouting, "Hey, Harry pick up your can-I gotta talk to ya." Your voice will be rapidly transmitted to Harry through the string. Unlike the present system where you dial over and over or call the operator when the call doesn't go through, with the Ball ' String Company, you just take a deep breath and yell louder. ,

Maintenance of the equipment is simple. Most of the time, the most complex repair is to simply tie the string back together again.

The cans sometimes are a problem whe~ people forget and put things in them. One instance involved Farley Felpwhelp. His wife kept pencils in their wall can. Farley didn't kpow about it, picked up the can to make a call and got the eraser end of the pencil stuck in his ear. He wasn't injured, but evidently the eraser went to work because he couldn't remember who he was going to call.

We at Ball 'O String like to think our billing system is quite efficient compared U that of other companies. Instead of chargin an installation fee, extra charges for more phones etc, we simply take payment in" empty tomato juice and soup cans to keepûp the supply with the demand. When the'cans are sent to our company, we merely request a dime be put in the can for each call.

In those cases where customers fail to pay in cans or string with their dimes for calls*. the service must be discontinued. However, we do privide notice of the service being discontinued.

What we do is give the string a hard yank in the main office. This pulls the string through the wall of the house and disconnecting it from the can. The can falls on the floor, clatter-clatter-clatter, and that's you notice the service has been disconnected.

All in all, we feel we have "a better idea" and the other company "knows in their heart we're right."

More information about the Ball 'O String Company Will be announced at a later date. Right now we're considering songs for ou advertising campaign.

So far, we're selected "String Along with Me", "Pick Up Your Can and Make Someone Happy," and "Our Cans Are Your Cans."

It was somewhat ironic. Because of a crime, I had to quit watching the TV Watergate hearings long enough to go to the court house. I had to pay a speeding ticket.

"Youmust come with me,">I told my wife. "You have to sit behind me while I testify."

"You must be kidding," she said. "Not a bit. You've seen 'John Dean and

Jeb Magruder and the others on TV. Their wives always sit right behind them. Wear something sexy but dignified. Maybe a bare midriff but fold your arms in front of the bare. Nothing flashy. We don't want to

"appear ostentatious." "That's funny. Everyone knows why I'm

the first to volunteer to work at the rummage sales at 15 different churches. It's so I can get first pick. Besides, those wives are behind their husbands because the TV cameras are there. I really don't think NBC will be in Magistrate Ruth Knack's court today."

"That's not the point. The point is that behind every decent man there is a loving, faithful wife who smiles quietly at his quips and frowns politely when someone calls him a liar. And she always sits with her knees pressed tightly together. It is called the Dr Joyce Brothers sit."

"I don't think either of us have to worry about sitting in magistrate's court. There is J

only 1 chair and Ruth Knack is in it." "I don't think you are taking this matter

seriously enough," I said, getting slightly perturbed. "A wife is an important part of her husband's image. Smart politicians send

Christmas cards with photos of their families posed in the Nativity scene. The voters are suspicious of bachelors. They like a man who is happily married to'a solid woman with a dog in a cloth coat. And when that man goes to court, his wife must go with him. Otherwise, people will think she doesn't love him because he is a liar."

"1 COULD BRING the cats to court," she said. "I could dress them as the 3 Wise Men. I could borrow our granddaughter to play the part of the holy infant. We can tell the

' magistrate there was no room in the Holiday Inn. And you could be the jackass whose breath keeps the baby warm."

"Listen,I'mserious about this. John Dean* admitted he temporarily swiped $4,000 to finance his honeymoon.. But who could blame him after seeing\that blond dish behind him? Any American boy, from Harvard would have done the same thing. I need the same kind of backing. I am going to tell the magistrate I was speeding because you were deathly sick and I had to get to the Blue Cross office quickly to pay overdu premiums. I need you there to nod your hea and caress the back of my neck when the going gets tough.""

'Tmsorry," she said, "but I cannot live a lie. If that is the type of wife you want; you'd better get a new one."

"At this point in time," I said, "I think I will go up to Camp David to prepare a repor1

on my reaction to your tempting suggestion."

Might be wise to wait before buying

Anyone thinking about 'ur.cfaasing sub-divided recreational property this year may want to wait until Michigan's new land sales act goes into effect Oct 1, advises State Representative Stanley M Powell (R-Ionia).

According to Representative Powell the new lands sales act gives the Michigan department of Licensing and Regulation the authority and responsibility to examine, register and regulate the promotion and sale of sub-divided recreational and resort

roperty. "If you wish to purchase

property before the act goes into effect, however, I offer the following list of things to check on before committing yourself to the purchase of land ," Representat ive Powell said.

Representative Powell recommends that you:

-always personally in

spect the property before signing any document.

-request a copy of the federal property report, if one is required, by the U S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

-if the property is being offered as a homesite check with the county health department in the county where the land is located to see if water supply and septic system permits are available.

-check availability of utilities such as telephone, electricity, natural gas or propane fuel as well as accessibility to the site.

-check availability of an abstract of title insurance for the property to assure a clear and marketable title.

-in addition to the quoted selling price of the land, inquire about finance Or service charges, taxes, closing costs, special assessments and association. or maintenance fees.

Above all, Representative Powell said, read all forms presented to you before signing them.

Representative Powell pointed out that the Michigan Real Estate law already offers protection to buyers purchasing property from a licensed real estate broker or salesman.

If you have doubts about the person with whom you are dealing, always ask to see the salesman's real estate pocket card. Licensed real estate salesmen are required by law to carry pocket cards and are required to present, it upon request of the buyer.

The new land sales act offers much protection to consumers against unscrupulous, high pressure, sales tactics, but "a person should always proceed with caution to make sure he gets. what he pays for, ' Representat ive Powell concluded.

88th District Report by Stanley Powell

State Representative At the moment it seems

relatively certain that the Legislature will remain in ession through the last week

of July-one month longer than originally scheduled. Present plans call for appropriation and conference committee members to meet during the week of the 16th to •20th to complete the necessary committee work on the budget bills. The full House will be called back in for the 23rd to 27th with final completion of the budget expected at that lime.

As I write this, only three of the eighteen budget bills have been sent to the Governor for approval: Capital Outlay Planning, Community Colleges, and Drug Abuse and Alcoholism. JVorth noting (is the fact that all three were finalized at figures over the Governor's

^commendation. Capital Outlay Planning was $1 million over, Community Colleges was $2.7 • million over and Drugs and Alcholism was $1.5 million over.

These figures do not however necessarily reflect increases in total appropriations which would eopardize the total budget.

The Capital Outlay Planning appropriations figure is flexible in that not all of that money will necessarily be released. Appropriations for community colleges are based on expected enrollment and, in the view f some people, this year's

projected enrollment figures were high, meaning that some $2 to $3 million dollars might not actually be needed and would return to the general fund. The appropriations for Drug Abuse and Alcoholism reflect the transfer of some respon-ibilities to that office from

other departments and consequently other department appropriations were reduced by those amounts.

It remains to be seen whether prudence or extravagance will prevail in he amounts of our

remaining appropriations. Those who are not willing to exercise some restraint may find that they have forced us all back to the drawing board if careless spending evokes a gubernatorial veto.

NEW CAPITAL APPROPRIATION DEFEATED

A $4 million dollar provision in the 1973 Capital Outlay Construction Budget

Bill which would have allowed construction of a new Capital Building to begin was defeated in the House last week on a definite 37 to 69 vote.

This was the second time this appropriation has been deleted from Senate Bill 130. The $4 million was contained in the original Senate version of the bill but was amended out when it came up for consideration on the floor of the Senate last month.

The "new Capitol" funds, provide for foundation digging and installation of underground utilities, were put back into the bill by the House Appropriations Committee in the hope that "one more try" might make it. When the bill came up for consideration of ' the^ntire House last week members opposing the construction of a new Capitol at this time constituted a substantial majority, and after much debate, were successful 'in once again amending the money out of the billj

We 69 Representatives voting against the funds for proceeding with a new statehouse contend that the present building, having already been extensively remodeled, is adequate for years to come and should also be maintained as a landmark in Michigan's History. Supporters of the new Capitol contend that the building is no longer adequate.

GOVERNOR SIGNS BILLS INTO LAW

Governor Milliken has signed several bills into law, one of which amends the Savings and Loan Association Act of 1964 to increase the ceiling on installment loans from $2,500 to $5,000.

The bill (HB 4444) which was given immediate effect, also gives the state's Financial Institutions B u r e a u a d d i t i o n a l discretionary authority in approving or disapproving branch applications, and more jurisdiction over installment lending.

Also signed into law was: -HB 4021, given im

GOVERNOR MILLIKEN E X P R E S S E S PRICE FREEZE CONCERN

Governor Milliken has sent a telegram to President Nixon saying he supports the President's efforts to accomplish economic stability, but pointing out that a situation is.developing with potentially drastic consequences for Michigan workers and consumers.

"Pork, cherry, poultry, and other food production and processing industries, as well as those dependent on agricultural products, are threatened in this state," Milliken told Nixon.

"Indications are that farmers will cut back on hog raising, forcing a pork shortage leading to astronomically high prices, threat of black marketing or other results harmful to consumers," the Governor continued.

v Milliken asked Nixon to "please direct the cost of living council and other appropriate agencies, to ascertain immediately the full facts and order actions to relieve the cost-price squeeze to prevent irreparable harm which could result in an enormous future economic and supply crisis."

Higher consumec_iruit prices since the summer of 1972 are due primarily to small crops last year in the major production areas, according to Michigan State University Agricultural Economist Donald J, Ricks.

The smaller crops, in turn, resulted mostly from adverse weather conditions, he says. In fact, total output of noncitrus fruit in 1972 was the lowest since 1945.

T h e a g r i c u l t u r a l economist feels the short supply situation is temporary, at least for most fruits. Given normal weather this season, national supplies should increase and cause prices to decline significantly, he predicts. However, the spring weather to date has not been favorable for large crops in certain areas like Michigan.

Other factors have also contributed to the higher fruit prices in 1972 and early 1973, Ricks point out.

- Consumer demand for fruit juices and wine has been expanding in recent years. Short grape supplies California and the eastern US last year and reduced quantities of imported commodities, such as apple juice concentrate, have resulted in higher consumer prices.

- Short fruit crops in key foreign countries have resulted in stronger export

demand for certain of US fruit crops in recent years. Ricks feels this is a temporary situation and expects world demand for US fruit to be less in 1973.

- Shortages of harvest labor in 1972 contributed to reduced market supplies of some crops, like apples. Some of the apple crop, which must be picked by hand, was not harvested because of lack of available labor at the critical harvest time. Labor shortages for

handharvested crops are expected to continue in the future, providing a limiting factor on harvested supplies of certain crops.

-- Available supplies of processed fruits are affected by the size of carryover stocks from the previous year's pack. Short production in the 1972 season will likely result in smaller carryover stocks of most processed fruit crops going into the 1973 season. And,

these smaller carryover stocks will tend to have a holding effect on recent processed fruit prices, Ricks says.

Several other phenomena have contributed to recent higher fruit prices and are likely to continue to exert upward price pressures in future years, according to Ricks. There are: higher costs for food marketing services (especially labor) consumer demand for more convenience services;

higher costs related to environmental protection regulations, and increased costs resulting from legislation to aid migrant farm workers.

Increased farm costs for labor, purchased imputs and antipollution regulations could, in the more distant future, force enough farmers out of production to significantly reduce supplies and raise prices, at all levels, Ricks concludes.

Draft registration still required Young men must still

register with Selective Service at the time of their 18th birthday even though inductiori authority ended July 1, Arthur A Holmes, state director of Selective Service has announced.

He urged those men who have not registered to do so promptly. "Failure to register is a violation of the law," Holmes emphasized, "and could result in prosecution by the Department of Justice." It is expected that approximately 85,000 young men will be subject to draft registration this year in Michigan.

While the President's authority to induct men into military service expired July 1, all other provisions of

the Selective Service Act remain in force. The annual lottery will be held. Young men must continue to register. Local boards will classify them as to their availability for possible military service in the event of a national emergency.

The law requires that all male persons, except certain non-immigrant aliens, must register with Selective Service within the 60 day period commencing 30 days prior to their 18th birthday. Under the law young men have 3 obligations: (1) they must register at age 18, (2) they must notify their draft boards when they change addresses, and (3) they must carry their draft cards with them until their liability

expires, which for most men today is at age 26.

Michigan draft boards have been reorganized at 27 area offices to carry on the standby draft operation. Volunteer registrars are also available in most communities to accept draft registrations. Area offices are now located at Allen

Park, Alpena, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Benton Harbor, Cadillac, Cheboygan, Detroit, Escanaba, Flint, Grand Rapids, Houghton, J a c k s o n , Ka lamazoo , Lansing, Livonia, Marquet Midland, -Mt Pleasant, Muskegon, Pontiac, Port Huron, Roseville, Royal Oak, Saginaw, Sault Ste Marie and Traverse City.

Ah, summer! Long, sunny • days, the old swimming hole, campouts and cookouts -and the annual rash of door\ to-door salesmen out to help ' you improve your home and grounds.

They'll seal your;blacktop driveway, put storm windows on your home,-sell you a vacuum cleaner.or*give you a deal' on aluminum siding or a, new foof.

* The key word is caution. You should avoid buying goods or services from' a xloor-to-doof sales person Until you have had time to . find out that he is a bona fide representative * or • a legitimate, established business in the community. •Ask for the salesman's

name and the address of his employer. Tell him you need some time to think about it, and suggest that he che'ck back with you next week. If he refuses to identify himself or won't come back, you can be fairly sure you're better off not doing business with him.

A'solid tipof f is a line such as: "We happened to be doing, a jdb in the neighborhood and noticed you need' the same work done. Since we're here anyway, we'll give you a special rate."

It's just a come-on. Beware!

Also be aware that even after you've signed a contract for some goods -or services offered door to door you have 3 business days to change your mind.

According to the In-home Sales Act passed in 1971, all you have to do is mail a

Statement cancelling the ; contract to the. address of the company you're dealing with .by midnight of the third day after the contract was signed. (The address must be stated on the contract in' bold type.)

If you change your mind , about goods you've bought, put them aside without using them. The sales person must pick them up within 40 days or they^re yours to do with as you want Any money you've paid must be refunded. If it is not, you don't have to give the goods [Back. i

HowRightTheyWere

. On March 15, President Nixon said rigid price controls on meat would" not work. He added that such a freeze would discourage supply and lead to blade markets and - rationing, A few days later; Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz said anyone who favored such a freeze on food would be a "damn fool." Then oil March 29, reacting to consumer' advocates and labor union leaders, the President did impose a freeze on meat. Then, in mid-June, another freeze was imposed on all items, and the two freezes together prove both Mr Nixon apd the Secretary were right in their mid-March statements.

Instead of lowering food prices, the current freeze is resulting in a much lower supply now and in months to come, and will eventually result in much higher prices. This can be seen in the large number of sows and cows going to slaughter. These are breeding animals that would have produced thousands of baby pigs, and hundreds of baby calves that, now will never see the light of day. The hundreds of thousands of' of baby chicks that are being killed, and the even larger amount of eggs not being hatched, will show UD in greatly reduced broiler numbers this fall.

Both the consumer and the producer, are losers in this game being carried out by officials in Washington. Producers can't afford to produce when it costs more to produce the product than what they can sell it for. They don't have the incentive to produce under such circumstances, and -shortages and high prices to consumers are bound to happen. i

The ultimate blame for the . mess we're in must be at the feet of those consumer advocates and labor union officials who pressured the Administration into placing the freeze on meat and other foods. Somehow, someway, the consumers of this country must be made aware of those factors that go together to encourage or discourage food production.-. It could be that the .currjehU situation, and subsequent" lower supplies of pork, beef, poultry, and dairy products will help make them more aware.

But it's a tough way to leam. . .tough on both the producer and the consumer.

July 19,1973 CLINTON COUNTY NEW^ St. Johns, Michigan 5B

REP DOUGLAS TREZISE 87th District

" 'V ' Probably the most difficult

job at this point in the legislative year is to appraise the status of the budget and summarize the state's financial position for the'year ahead. As of this writing, I can only guess at what may be the final spending total - and pray that it does exceed revenue.

The sad truth is that the average legislator has very little opportunity to have any input into the budgeting process. His whole contribution is generally a "yes" or "no" vote on a spending bill which is placed before him by the appropriations committees.

The process is this: Early in the year the

governor presents his budget message to the legislature. His recommendations are then put into the form of legislative bills. Usually, half of these bills are in

troduced in the Senate and half in the House of

s Representatives. They are \immediately referred to the

appropriations committee of the respective body.

In the Senate that committee consists of 10 members, 6 of whom are Republicans and 4 are Democrats. In the House we have a 17 member committee, consisting of 11 Democrats and only 6 Republicans. Each committee obviously is composed of a political majority favoring the party in which there is a majority of the body as a whole. Thus, the Democrats have a majority

"in the total House of R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s and therefore, control the committee and the situation is similar in the Senate where the Republican party dominates except that in the House, the Democrats have stacked the appropriations committee far out of proportion to their majority, which is 60 - 50.

These committees are further broken down in each chamber into sub-c o m m i t t e e s , > e,ach specializing insome'ph^se of debudge t such "as Public HeaUh, Mental Health, Corrections, Social Services, Higher Education, etc.

On receipt of the various bills embodying the governor's proposals, each of these sub-committees — usually consisting of three members each — begins a series of hearings to evaluate the governor's requests and the needs of the department involved. For instance, while considering the appropriation for higher educational institutions in the state presidents of all of our universities and community colleges or their representatives, appeared before the sub-committee to explain their budget

requests. From these interviews, information was put together totaling almost $450 million in state appropriations for higher education.

When this data was presented to the full House of Representatives, it came in the form of two bills, each

vfrom 40 to 50 pages long. Still, these bills only outlined the allocations to each institution. In no way was there enough information for me to judge whether the proposed expenditure was too little or too much.

The same general approach was taken to some 18 other appropriation bills. With very little detailed information about the need for the money, we were asked to appropriate operating funds for the 19 state departments, the executive office and for the legislature itself.

So, in facing this task, a legislator learns to use other criteria in reaching a

decision. I personally try to evaluate each bill in terms of how much higher than last year's expenditure it is. When we see our state revenues increasing at an average rate of about 7 percent each year, I think we should try to keep increases in spending to that same level. If we don't, we will face increasing taxes within a short period of time.

We can't continue on the present basis of increased spending at a 12 percent clip each year while our revenues go up at 7 percent without heading for serious trouble.

We are coming down to the wire in this wh'ole budget process. Within the next few days our actions will determine whether next year is the year we have to increase tax.3 or if we have finally learned to put some restraint on spending to keep it in line with the available money.

General Telephone approves contract

NORTON SHORES --General Telephone members of System Council T-3, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, have approved a new two-year contract with the company, G e n e r a l T e l e p h o n e President Jack Reitze said today. The new contract provides for wage increases which will cost the company approximately $1.5 million during the first year in addition to added fringe benefits.

Retroactive to May 5,1973, the expiration date of the previous contract, the new

agreement includes wage increases ranging from 19 cents per hour to 35 cents per hour for craft employees at the top of their wage schedules. The bargaining units of System Council T-3, IBEW, includes approximately 2,700 employees.

In the -area of "fringe benefits," the company boosted its contribution

'toward hospitalization insurance and liberalized the vacation policy by providing three weeks vacation after eight years of service, rather' than the previous nine years in 1973 and four weeks after

18 years beginning in 1974. The new contract set

tlement is within the Economic Stabilization Act guidelines. Under the terms of the new pact, negotiations may be reopened next May for consideration of wages, pensions and optional items. Formal signing of the new contract by management and union representatives is scheduled to lake place at a later date.

GENERAL TELEPHONE serves over 515,000 telephones in 533 Michigan communities in 61 of the state's 83 counties.

Cutting hoard may be source of food poisoning organisms

EAST LANSING -- Your kitchen cutting board is a potential source of the tiny organisms that cause food poisoning.

You can, however, reduce the danger of transferring bacteria from one food to another, says Ken Stevenson, assistant professor of food science and human nutrition at Michigan State University.

One way is to get rid of your porous wooden cutting board and buy one of the newer plastic cutting sur

faces. The nonporous nature of the plastic provides no traps for microorganisms and washes clean easily.

If you use a wooden cutting board, be sure to scrub it thoroughly after every use. Use hot water, plenty^ of detergent and a stiff brush.

Such cleanliness is very important, Dr Stevenson e x p l a i n s , b e c a u s e microorganisms are present in almost all foods and may be transferred from one to another. Raw chicken, for example, may be con

taminated with the organism responsible for salmonella poisoning. These organisms are normally killed during cooking.

If you cut the chicken on the cutting board, you transfer some of the organisms to the board. If the board js,not thoroughly scrubbed before you use it again, the organisms will be passed on to some other food. If transferred to foods which are not cooked, such as salad ingredients, they may cause, food poisoning.

The small village of Bannister had a good old fashioned 4th of 'July celebration this year. Thousands of people crowded the streets throughout the day. The event was sponsored by the Bannister Business Mens Association. There were game booths and food booths set up by the Ashley and Ovid Lions Clubs, the Bannister Babe Ruth Baseball team, the local 4-H club, the newly formed VFW and Auxiliary, the ZCBJ Lodge, and the Ashley Sportsman Club.

The Ashley Volunteer Fire Department provided fire engine rides during the day. Street dancing was another event that took place. Providing the music were the bands of Bill Stripko, Ed Galko and Eddie Fornusik.

A bicycle parade with gayly decorated bicycles of all sizes and shapes was held. Other events took place during the day with the

Cheverolet donates 10 brake assemblies to Career Center

7B

DETROIT - Cars, engines and other automotive êquipment that never got a chance to run their first mile on thVhighway are being put to work by Chevrolet to help build mechanical careers for young men across the country.

The equipment used for testing and research activities are giving "mileage" in vocational schools and high school shops in a program devised by the Chevrolet service operation department. One such example is the donation of 10 disc brake assemblies to the Clinton Area Career Center at St Johns, Mich.

Hundreds of cars, trucks,

engines and other components already have been assigned to schools across, the nation and more are being processed, according to Bruce G. Stevens, Chevrolet director of service operations.

"By using these materials to help educate thousands of young people, we are better able to keep students abreast of the state of art in our automobile design," Stevens said. "This training can help them in planning for a career in some Automobile field."

Schools receiving the donations must sign an affidavit that the equipment will not be driven. Donation tags are fastened to the units

and identification numbers are removed by Chevrolet. Institutions receiving the donations must be non-profit organizations.

The equipment becomes available to schools through Chevrolet's zone offices across the country when it is no longer needed by Chevrolet, Stevens said. Zones keep lists requests for for such materials and, when any are available, notify schools.'

Since the program began operation, Stevens said, cars, trucks* engines and other items have been assigned to schools in every section of the United States.

A State Labor Department survey shows that approximately 1,200 lost time injuries are suffered by employees on the job each year in Michigan from 'mechanical /power transmission apparatus.

These injuries include over 100 amputations, 80 lacerations and in excess of 50 fractures, according to the department.

Leading sources of injuries are belts, chains, gears,, shifts, flywheels and screw augers. Failure to- shut off and lock out machinery before making adjustments or repairs was found to be a major cause of being caught in or by transmission parts, the department said.

State safety consultants point out that in addition to locking out machinery to be

repaired, transmission parts must be properly guarded in compliance with Michigan safety standards and that employees should remain ale# around machines and

not wear clothing, gloves or

articles which may be caught up in moving parts.

Sealed Power has 240 people with one to twenty-seven years seniority who are eligible for vacation pay. These employees will receive $110,000 in vacation pay this year. Here, Sealed Power supervisor, Jack Birdsley, presents vacation pay to machine repair mechanic, John Ryan.

Meeting held for

"Meals on Wheels" ST JOHNS ~ A group of 20

volunteer deliverers met with members of the board of directors of the "Meals on Wheels" program Friday morning to discuss methods and practices to be followed in dispensing meals.

The meeting, called by President Pauline Warren, was conducted by Maxine Parmalee who^ is the dietician for Clinton Memorial Hospital. Mrs Parmalee instructed the volunteers on preparing the

meals for transporting to patrons of the program.

The "Meals on Wheels" program began approximately six weeks ago as a service to persons who are unable to prepare their own meals. Patrons to whom service is extended are generally recuperating from a hospital stay, are nonambulatory or elderly. The plan originated to ensure these persons received at least one hot meal each day.

Deliverers bring each patron's meals to the door of their home around mid-day. Patrons have a choice of ordering one or two meals with the warm meal for noon consumption and a snack for later in the day.

Persons interested in subscribing to the service or for volunteering to assist in the program may obtain further information by contacting Mrs William (Carole) Chalmers, 224-7515.

Back Up The Future The future of the battle

against cancer depends on research. The American Cancer Society needs your contribution to help finance this crucial campaign.

August 13 is Young Family Day at Michigan State University, and your family is invited.

Every member of the family will find activities designed especially for him. And ther$ are some activities the whole family joins in together.

The day's program is an experimental one set up by the family living and 4-H programs of the MSU Cooperative Extension Service. Its aim, says Gail Imig, family living program leader, is to enhance family interaction and strengthen family togetherness.

The day's events are divided into 3 sections: Morning, afternoon and all day. These are broken down into parents-only, children-only and whole-family classes.

Morning activities for the family as a whole include "Family Fun with Sports," "A Family Look at Ecology," and a preschool in which parents are optional. All will run from 9:30-11:30 am.

The preschool program will offer children from 3 to 5 years of age a planned program that will include story time, free play, songs and art activities. Whether children come for just the morning, just the afternoon or all day, the charge is $3 for one child, $5 for 2, $7.50 for 3 and $1.50 for each additional child. For those who stay all day, this fee will also cover lunch. >

Four parents-only classes will be offered at the same time. "Quality Child Care" is a discussion of child care alternatives ant* the factors

involved in choosing among them. "Men's Views -Women's Issues" will be an opportunity to share thoughts and feelings on the changing role of women in today's family and the effects that this change will have on individual members and the family as a whole.

"Is There a Move In Your Future?" will concentrate onv

the psychological, economic, physical and sociological effects after moving.

Children and youth-only classes running concurrently with tile parents-only classes include the preschool experience and for older children, a walking tour of the campus. Children ages 6-12 will explore the planetarium, museum, nature areas and other campus attractions.

The afternoon sessions, l-2:30, will be a repeat of all the morning classes except "Quality Child Care".

Seven classes including the preschool program, will run all day, 9:30 to 2:30 pm,

For the whole family there are "Parent-Child Communicat ion," "Infant Enrichment," and "Toddler Enrichment"

"Parent Child Com-* munication" is designed for parents and'children over 12 years. It will be a day of activities aimed at enriching communication and helping children and parents know each other better.

"Infant Enrichment" will deal with the importance of stimulation in the development of an infant and will show parents how they can provide stimulating experiences. Parents are expected to provide food arid

diapers for the infants. Lunch will be provided for parents and older children. The charge is the same as for the preschool program.

Parent,s-only include "Father's Role," a look at father's interaction with their children. "Marital Enrichment" is an opportunity for couples to learn basic communication skills, e spec i a l l y i n c r e a s e d awareness of positive interpersonal feelings.

For children and youth only, "How to Deal with Problem Parents" will try to help children in those 'perplexing years over 12 to deal with their parents.

For a complete program and registration form, write to Young Family Day, 103 Human Ecology Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48823.

Shepardsville By Lucille Spencer

There was a good turn out for the Family Day activities at the Shepardsville Church on July 4th. Several odd jobs were taken care of and games were played, even a ball game.

Mrs Kenneth Fricke of the Price Church brought the report of the Annual Conference held recently at Albion College. She was the a l t e rna t e de lega te and represnted both churches.

Mr and Mrs Ed Schultz observed their 65th wedding anniversary, recently. To honor them the church planted a red maple tree in the church yard and placed a red maple tree in their yard in St Johns. t •

Mr and Mrs Dale Squiers and Roger, have returned home after spending a week visiting our nation's capitol.

Mr and Mrs Reinhard Billing attended a family get-together at the park in Grand, Ledfee on July 4th.

Volunteers are still needed to help in the Vacation Church School to be held the week of July 16-20.

Export restr ict ions may lead to food

shortage says Farm Bureau head

LANSING -- Export restrictions on soybeans, cottonseed and their byproducts was called "an outright attempt to reduce farm production costs at the expense of other farmers" by Michigan Farm Bureau president Elton R. Smith.

According to the farm spokesman, this decision to increase restrictive controls will move the country closer to a critical food shortage.

"The best agricultural food policy for the producer, the consumer, and the country, is no price controls at any level," he stated.

Smith said the 60-day price freeze on food prices at the processing, wholesale and retail levels is forcing a cutback on poultry,"beef and pork production by producers who cannot recover production costs.

"THE IMPOSITION of a restriction on the export of livestock feeds represents another political action in an effort to correct earlier economic mistakes, and is just one more example of the ineffectiveness of wage and price controls as a solution to the inflation problems," Smith said. "Further imposition of economic controls will only lead to more restrictions, price freezes, wage freezes, and the destruction of the free enterprise system."

The Farm Bureau president stated that foreign exchange gained from soybean sales allows Americans to purchase needed products, such as petroleum, which is in short supply here.

"Limitations on exports will severely affect our position In world trade and may intensify our serious balance of paymens problems. We are part of a world economy, and we must live in such an economy," he said.
