The observance will be held January 14-20. PIan. art demonstration for Jan. 8 meeting There will be no meeting of the art group for the next week. The next meeting will be January 8, from 7 to 9 p. m. at the Maple Valley High School. The meeting will be held in the Art Room and all interested persons are urged to come. There will be a special demonstration at the Jan­ uary 8th meeting. This will begin at 7 and a short meeting will be held following this. Some persons have been meeting on Monday eve­ nings for the past month or so, however, there has not oeen a particularly large attendance. When the group was first organized, there were many more who indicated an interest in meeting together. The meeting following the demonstration on January 8 should help to work out details in regard to further meetings. If there is not enough participation in meetings such as this, perhaps it may be necessary to discon­ tinue them. Distribut e d ividend checks It was announced by officials of the Federal Land Bank Association of Ionia that dividend checks totaling $35 043.80 were mailed to its 1275 members on December 21. This dividend represents a 5 1/2 <JL return on the member's investment in association stock as of May 31st, 1967, according to R. W. Christian, Association manager. The Association makes and services farm real­ estate mortgage loans in Ionia. Barry and Mont­ calm counties. Presently serving on the Board of Directon are Henry Nelson, Ionia, president; Richard Yarger. Hastings. Vice Pres.dent; Carl Bahs, Nashville. Claud Mind. Sheridan, Orville Trebian and Les­ ter Wolverton, Ionia. Thursday evening the Nashville village council accepted, with regtet, the resignation of Carl Tut­ tle who has been serving as village assessor He had tendered his resignation several weeks ago but the matter was tabled. Now the council is faced with finding someone who will accept the appointment of assessor until the spring election in March. It is hoped whoever is appointed will also be a candidate for election. In other business Police Chief Don Langham ask­ ed that he be given extra help when needed, or when he takes an occasional day off. This matter was referred to the police committee composed of Otto Dahm, Wayne Skedgcll and the Rev. B. James Vamer. Representatives from each of the two taverns were present Thursday evening to ask that both taverns be allowed to be opened for New Years Eve and that the hours be lengthened. Both were denied. It has been the policy of the council to have the beer tav­ ern owners take turns remaining open from 12 noon Sunday to 8 p. m. Because of the extensive rains and high water in the south portion of the village, surface water and septic tank overflow has grossly overloaded the san­ itary sewer system. The plant has been working more than twice the ordinary time, stepping up the cost of chemicals, besides doubling the wear and tear on the equipment The only way to permanent­ ly clear up this condition will be to put in the ex­ tended sewer lines which were incorporated into the plans made several years ago. The need for a larger budget to provide village needs for next year were discussed and it can be ex­ pected the tax millage will be increased when the budget is set after the first of the year. Inter-church dialogue scheduled fo r Jan. 17 Catholics and Protestants of biashville have been invited to meet at the Evangelical United Brethren Church on Wednesday, January 17, at 7:30 p. m. for an inter-church dialogue planned by PastorVarner from that church and assisted by Father Ra y mond Moeggenberg from St. Cyril s Catholic church. To lead the discussion three other clergymen have been invited to serve as a panel. They are the Rev­ erend Don Gury, pastor of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Hastings; the Reverend Fr. John McPhee, from the Redemptorist Fathers of the Catholic church; and the. Reverend Leonard Maunder, pastor of the Vermontville Congregational church. The public is invited to join in this search fo r deeper understanding. Neu: Agent appointed Warren J. Cook, County Agricultural Agent of Kalkaska, has been appointed Agricultural Exten­ sion Agent for Eaton County, according to County Agricultural Agent J D. Johnson of Charlotte. Mr. Cook will fill the vacancy left by the res­ ignation of Leslie Tobin last October 1.

Increased postal rate effective January 7 Increased rates for all classes of mail except par­ cel post and international mail will go into effect January 7. Postmasters Wilma DeCamp and Law­ rence Frith reminded postal customers today. 'JEven with the new rates of six cents for firstclass mail and 10 cents for air mail, postal service is still a real bargain, " Postmasters DeCamp and Frith declared. "For six cents you can send a let­ ter to any of the 50 states, to any United States ter­ ritory of possession, to Canada or Mexico, or to an ’American serviceman stationed anywhere in the world." Postmasters DeCamp and Frith pointed out that the new rate for post cards will be five cents and for air mail post cards-eight cents. They said the added cent in the letter rate is a 20 percent increase compared to a 24 percent boost in the rates for mailing newspapers and magazines and a 34 percent hike for advertising circulars, "oc­ cupant" mail, and other material in the third-class category. The new rate of six cents per ounce for first-class mail applies up to 13 ounces and the new rate of 10 cents per ounce fo: air mail applies up to 7 ounces. Under the new rate structure all first-class mail over 13 ounces and all air mail over 7 ounces will be merged into a single category. . These heavier pieces of first-class and air mall subject to the single rate schedule will be delivered by the fastest available means of transportation. A flat rate of 80 cents will be charge for all mail in this category up to one pound For all mail weigh­ ing more than one pound the present air parcel post rates will continue to apply, except that the postage on mail, and the educational materials category of fourth-class maiL Mailers using these classes who need information on the new rates should contact the local Post Office, Postmasters DeCamp and Frith said. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Now that the big New Year's celebr^ion isover, and the footbail games have all been played I can go back to my old ways. One of the first things I am going to do is to forget ah of the resolutions I made for the new year. I might just as well forget them because I have no intention of keeping them anyway. If I kept all of my good resolutions, I would have nothing to resolve for next year and that would be bad.

Besides life would be pretty dull if everyone kept all his good resolutions. The world would be full of good gays and it takes a few bad guys to make the good guys look good So the thing to do is to forget the resolutions just as soon as tney are made. People would not recog­ nize their old friends if they all made resolutions at the first of the year and kept them. All of the political writers are sticking their necks out with a whole bunch of predictions for the year to come. I don't know anything about politics, nut I can stick my neck out with a few predictions of my own. 1. Several women will put washing in one of the machines at the laundromat and will forget it for several hours. 2. We will get a dilly of a big snowstorm before the winter is over. 3. When we think spring is here we will get one more dilly of a snow storm. 4. Bob White, Harold Norris and Lester DeGroot will play golf together and will all end up with two under par. 5. Every other golfer wiL refuse to play with the above mentioned three. 6. During August 957 people will ask others on the street " is it hot enough for you?" 766 will say "now don't you wish you iiad some of that snow from last winter?" 7. Someone will come in with a 27 pound fish caught in the Thomapple river. 8. The groundhog will see his shadow. 9. Someone will show up with a potato he has grown that is ten pounds. 10. They will take a vote at the school and the students will unanimously decide to hold classes all through the summer.

Barnes * Mason DELAYED ' On the second of January the Christmas trees are out of the houses and back at the curbs where the street crew will pick them up.. It is too bad that someone doesn't think up some use for those o 1 d trees. Perhaps we could start a new industry in this neighborhood. We could grind the trees up and sell them for breakfast food. Or perhaps we could dry the needles and tell the kids that smoking them will give you a bad jag. Or we could advertise that they are bad for you and will make you fat. If people think they are bad for you or immoral, they will snap them up at any price. We could cut the branches off the trees and sell the trunks for people who have cats. The trank could be mounted in the house for the cat to sharp en her claws on. Those of you who have dogs too should be sure the dog knows the tree is just for sharpening claws. Better yet, lets just put the trees out at the curb and let the city truck pick them up. The power failure on New Years Eve points up to us how much we depend on electricity for our day-to-day living I had some people tell me that while they were waiting for the lights to come back on they went to sleep and missed the New Years celebration en­ tirely. . The lights went out sometime shortly after 5 p. m. and came back on in most parts of the area at about 7:00. My friends at WBCH tell me that a power line broke between Hastings and Charlotte Many folks said that it got just a bit chilly in their homes while the power was off. Most modern heating plants depend on electricity to keep them going. Terry Edger said he had a fire in the fireplace and since it was time to eat anyway he just threw the steaks in the fireplace fire. He is just a bit worried about tha: now though. He was burning an elm wood whfch he thinks might have been infected with the Dutch Elm disease. He is concerned now that the agriculture department might come and check him. find that he has caught the Dutch Elm Disease and chop him down and bum him. We all have problems. We also had a roaring fire in the fireplace, so we didn't suffer from the cold during the short time the lights were out. We got some candles going and sat in front of the fire and enjoved the rest from the TV and other distractions of modem life. / When we had lights the kids just sat, but as soon as the lights were out they had a hundred things they wanted o ham up around the house so all the flashlight in the house were in use. After our chronology was all printed in last week k paper, we discovered that we had failed to mention the sale of the Wilson's Insurance Agency to Wil­ liams A Hecker. . The snow mobile people should be happy with the weather. There Is more of it coming. MRS.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 4. 1968 �Year of The Coho: 1967 ■ Not in decades has anything so dominated conservation news in Michigan as did the coho salmon story of 1967. The coho madness that gripped thousands of fishermen turned such places as Manistee, Frankfort, and Honor into boom .towns and produced catches that the most incorrigible storyteller dared not to exaggerate upon. Last fall’s fantastic coho spawning runs in the Platte River and Bear Creek had to be seen to be believed. They provided Michigan with its first complete source of 8 million home-grown coho eggs and allowed tens of thousands of surplus fish to be marketed and transferred to additional northern streams. The year’s coho story also had its dark moments, the darkest coming when a September storm claimed seven salmon fishermen in the Frankfort area of Lake Michigan. The .year 1967 also saw other fisheries highlights such as the state’s first plantings of chinook salmon and opening moves to expand trout and salmon hatchery facilities. Making a big mess” of things alongLake Michigan was the Vermontville RAY HAWKINS The Reinhart Zemke family all gathered at Mar­ grets s Christmas night Robert Todds gathered Richard Todd's Sunday.

It was a good year for Conservation Department fire fighters who held forest fire damage to a record low and deer hunters who upped their kill back over the 100,000 mark. It was a time when the Department drew battle lines against the use of persistent pesticides and. forged out a new recreation services division to help meet needs of cities, their aged, handicapped, and underprivileged. Natural resource management received a big boost in 1967 when the State Legislature turned out one of the longest and strongest slates of conserva­ tion legislation ever put together. Among other conser­ vation newsmakers was the gill net controversy. By year’s end, it mellowed into a compromise plan aimed at protecting planted trout and salmon in lakes Michigan and Superior without severely hamstringing commercial fishermen. —Mich.

Director Barr, recalling the severe storm which paralyzed Barry county and much of the midwest last winter, said it would be wise to prepare now for emergencies. He also pointed to the storm which hit the southwest last week, isolating communities, farmers and rangers. "Not only is it vital to prepare for natural disasters, but it is also necessary that we antici­ pate needs which could come from an assault from a foreign power, " Director Barr emphasized. Director Barr also suggested that Barry county families have plans for evacuation of their homes in case of fire, and also to find protection in event of a severe wind storm. "While this season is not necessarily one in which tornadoes may oc­ cur, we should always be mindful that they can happen, " Barr said. Maple Greve DELAYED NEWS MRS.

By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION TERRIBLE JOB. Thankless. Demanding. Pressure. These words describe what is probably the most difficult job cat­ egory in the state: school superintendent. It seems clearly predictable that fewer and fewer competent men will accept this job, regardless of the salary, unless something changes.

Responsibility and authority to administer school policies as defined by the school board rested in the hands of the school superintendent until recently. The trend is now for him to have responsibility as previously, but less and less authority. What is bringing about the change? Several things, all developing at nearly the same time. .The finan­ cial bind, which has always existed to some de­ gree, is gening much worse. Parent groups, at least in some areas, are becoming more vocal and de­ manding; A generation ago students were expected to mind the teacher, right or wrong. Today's student ac­ cepts no such idea and is apt to soon strike to change things as he thinks they should be. Demands of society are increasing. A school must now provide better and more expensive education if students are to be trained for desirable jobs or for institutions of higher learning.

Last year 93 superintendents' jobs changed hands. By July 1 this year, 52 more changes had Deen made. The MSU Placement Bureau listed 34 open­ ingsThis astounding turnover emphasizes the problem. The " impossible position" in which the superinten­ dent finds himself causes more of them to retire early, ask for reassignment as principals or teach­ ers, or to leave the school system for other admin­ istrative jobs. At the same time, fewer and fewer young men want to put up with the pressure and are unwilling to prepare themselves for the difficult re­ sponsibilities. "Appreciate the Superintendent Day" might be a good idea. In many smaller communities, the school is the biggest industry. In all communities it is one of the most important. Wise school boards and thoughtful-citizens will develop a new appreciation for the problems of the school superintendent and stimulate this apprecia­ tion in others. The alternative is to see mote and more capable men abandon the field beaten down by too much pressure; frustrated from too many problems; ham­ strung by too much responsibility with too little authority; exhausted from too many demands on their time. This leaves the community with still another de­ manding problem: what will happen to the school system? OLD TIMERS A small office, one desk, three file cabinet»*and two chairs constitute the state office of the United Spanish War Veterans. Only 10 members attended last year's annual state convention. There are less than 9, 000 veterans of the War of '98 still alive; about 200 of them reside in Michi­ gan. The average age of these veterans is 90. Royal S. Peters, manager of the lute facility, re­ members when the organization was a moving force in the nation. His time is now spent on visits to hospitalized Spanish Wat veterans, publishing a communications piece six times a year and "trying to bold things to­ gether. ’ Entirely state supported, the organization oper­ ates on a slim $14, 000 per year. All expenses must be paid from this amount, including a secretary. Peters’ salary, travel expenses, office upkeep and miscellaneous. the number held in Lana listed a total of 44 camps o in one year.

Teachers are now "unionized. " The Michigan Education Association, which was once an organi. zatipn of "professional"people, was stimulated into militancy by competing teacher organizations which demanded higher pay and better conditions. It now exerts as much pressure on school superinten­ dents as does any union. Principals are organizing too. They have their ideas of what should be expected of them and how they should be paid for their services. State and federal governments make more and more demands and requirements. These range from setting minimums of standard performance for schools to laws about the way the school can be op­ erated. MAY 15 | Muskellunge and northern J. pike fishing begins on non­ trout inland lakes and streams. The Mi 'although association was Uy organized in JUNE 15 Black bass season extended to Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. Hospital employees are guests of medical staff On Wednesday evening, December 6, employees of Pennock Hospital were guests of the Medical Staff for the annual "Doctor's Christmas Party. ” This an­ nual event is a gift from the individual doctors and is much anticipated by employees of the hospital Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall provided a perfect setting for a memorable evening. Following the invocation, which was given by Dr. Morrill, a delicious turkey dinner was enjoyed b y everyone. Douglas H. Castleman, M. D. was the Master of Ceremonies, and assured the joviality of the after-dinner entertainment. The Hastings High School choir, under the direc­ tion of Herbert Moyer, provided the musical enter­ tainment. Once again the audience was thrilled with their excellence. Dr. Huebner announced that a small note of ser­ iousness might be appropriate to the occasion, and with the audience prepared for some sombre thoughts of Yuletide wisdom, gave two humorous readings which started out sombre enough, but soon exhibited their mirthful nature. An unannounced, unrehearsed, play was presented. Not only was it unannounced and unrehearsed, but the actors were unnotified in advance of their pans in the play. "King" Dr. Myers was as regal as if he had rehearsed, and spoke his lines with the proper aplomb. "Queen" Hans Buecken looked beautiful in his (her) royal robes and golden crown. Poor Hans had not a single line but his pantomime ability was a sight to behold. The part of the beautiful princess was portrayed by none other than Dr. Lundeen, who, alas, had only to stand there and look beautiful, but his appearance was superb. Coming to announce his Master's arrival was Dr. Noah as the Page. Poor Dr. Noah never did get his lines straight, and whether * he changed them intentionally.or not, they were much better his way. Another "actor" who had trou­ ble with his lines was Dr. Spindler as the handsome Prince. Mrs. Kenneth Sage, Director of Nunes, presented a handsome gift from employees of the Hospital to Dr. Raymond Finnie who u retiring after many yean on the Medical Staff. The best wishes of everyone were expressed in a standing ovation as "Dr. Ray" retires from active practice Following the lively distribution olmany door prizes, the evening was conc''>d*^< oy singing sev­ eral carols.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, IBM �KAaiJk \/oJK£>llfl COMBIN£D NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO WINTER HAS SOME COMPENSATIONS - SLEET, FROZEN ON THE FENCE AND BRUSH SPARKLES IN THE CRISP WINTER SUN. --News Photo �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Our legislator, Stanley Powell dropped in to talk with me for a few minutes on Saturday. He was here for a meeting of the Michigan Milk Producers Association at the Methodist church and after the meeting was over, he came in to visit a while. When you talk to a man who is working in govern­ ment this way you can realize what a difficult job it is. Most of the people in the district will not let him know how they feel about a certain bit of legisla­ tion until it has passed or failed. They then grab him and bend his ear about how the vote should have gone the other way, after it is all over. Despite what some of us might think, the work of the legislator does not stop just because the legis­ lature is not in session at that particular time. The re is a raft of committee meetings and meetings with citizens groups. In between that he has numerous dinners and luncheons to which he is invited and where he is expected to say a few words. Stanley tells me that when the legislature is in session he stays in Lansing because there is hardly enough time to commute. When they are not in session (he still attends committee meetings and other meetings) he always checks his bam before going to bed. He says he just can't get out of the habit of checking to see that everything is in good shape before he retires. -Everything seems to be going up, and if we can (at least this believe the' predictions for the future .... year) the prices will continue up. With this in view, it is no wonder that the good old government would decide to bump the price of postage. Those of us who can remember back to the Model-T, prohibition, rag-time-tunes, Herbert Hoover, Peaches Browning, September Morn, horse-drawn milk wagons and steam engines can also remember when it cost 20 to mail a letter. All of a sudden the picfhre of Franklin D. Roose­ velt will again dominate our lives. Time was when F. D. R. 's face was to be seen everywhere. He was in the papers, he smiled at us from the newsreel screen, his picture was on posters admonishing us to do our part during the war. I am not sure when it was decided to put F. D. R. on the 60 sump, but I'll bet that not many people realized that there was a Roosevelt sump. Now, -with the postage bump, the 60 stamp will be the most popular one. There might be a lot of carping about the post­ iment’ but office departmei ' ‘ even at increased rates, post­ jain. I don't know where we can get so age ua much tervice *4 * iur for »u so uiuc little luvucy. money. - » • It was not too long ago when a person had to hire an independent contractor if he wanted a letter de­ livered to a distant city. He would have to hunt up someone who was going to that place and ask him to deliver the letter for him. This is a far cry from the service of today when a letter dropped in any mail box will be delivered anywhere in the world within a few days. Urge residents to have 5-day food supply Barry County's Civil Defense Director, William Barr of 105 Pine Lake is urging all area residents to put in at least a five-day supply of food, fuel and other necessities. Director Barr, recalling the severe storm which paralyzed Barry county and much of the midwest last winter, said it would be wise to prepare now for emergencies. . He also pointed to the storm which hit the southwest last week, isolating communities, farmers and rangers. "Not only is u viul to prepare for natural disasters, but it is also necessary that we antici­ pate needs which could come from an assault from a foreign power, " Director Barr emphasized. Director Barr also suggested that Barry county families have plans for evacuation of their homes in case of fire, and also to find protection in event of a revere wind storm. "While this season is not necessarily one in which tornadoes may oc­ cur. we should always be mindful that they can happen." Barr said. Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo by john boughton I wonder what it cost to send a letter from Chi­ cago to San Francisco via Pony Express? I'll bet it was a lot more than wc pay now for an airmail let­ ter over the same route. ® When our Governor Romney first announced that he going to be a candidate for the office of Presi­ dent of the US, Ids chances seemed not bad at all. Lots of people talked it up and seemed to be behind him. Now where are those people? Suddenly Romney seems to be dropping popularity and the man who still claims he does not want to be a candidate is being touted as the most likely to suc­ ceed. ~ This is the way life is. If you play just a bit hard to get they fall all over themselves trying to get you. If you say you are available they are less anxious to do business with you. ■ December 14,1967 The regular meeting of the Village Council was called to order by.Pres. Rizor with all present.

They attended the play "Cinderella” one evening. Mildred Mater went from there to Peggy Mater's at Kalamazoo and had New Yean dinner at the Sweeden House. Pre­ viously Mrs. Mater spent Christmas with Patty Galla­ gher in Niles. Letters to Editor January 3, 1968 Dear John, Wanted to comment on your paragraphs about what to do with Christmas trees, what with Epiph­ any coming on, but hate to bother you with a phone call, so shall employ my trusty typewriter. We were rather disappointed to learn last year at this time that burning the tree is not allowed in this town, although we understand completely the prac­ tical safety aspects of the situation and would not complain at all, at alL And no town celebration ' to accomplish the same. We have done this every year (till last) that we had a real tree. In my hometown, trees would be put at the curb if the person wished to contribute to the celebration, and young men would take them to the hilltop. Then on Twelfth Night, January 6, un­ der the supervision of the firemen, the whole huge collection would be ret afire. What a sightl Ana what a cure for post-holiday letdown! Neighbors around town not really in close enough relationships to exchange home visits would gather side by side to view the spectacle, swap pleasant­ ries, and make comment that * it was a good year, time wasn't it?" - and for a few minutes, "a ‘ *' _ dark was bad by alL winter, we'd look toward the spot and remember the glow and the feeling. This custom has been observed by many for cen­ turies as a symbol of ridding oneself of the old. or of putting off the old year and making a clean sweep for the new, somewhat like the old scapegoa Publisher The Nashville News Nashville, Mich. Publisher; We would like to take this means of thanking the many, many people in the Barry County area for their marvelous cooperation in our recent "Op­ eration Christmas for Kids" in which we provided kits containing clothing and toys for needy chil­ dren. ages 3 to 5, in 13 Detroit day-care centers. As a part of our state ' Involement" program fat 1967, so many people in your area donated either a complete kit or individual items for the kits that we found it impossible to thank each one individu­ ally. We are tony each of them could not have been present at the day-care centers on December 21 to see the eyes of the children as these gifa, perhaps the only oues some of them received during the hol­ idays, were presented to them by our volunteer San­ ta Clauses.

Not unless you are a member of the select few who make up the Varsity Club of Maple Valley high school Curious to find out why I couldn't purchase a Lion's head for a student on his school sweater, I found that the Lion head emblem belonged ex­ clusively to those students only, who were accept­ ed in the Varsity Club, if they wanted them in. Also, that the student body has no emblem at all to distinguish them from any other school or .group, only a nickname " Lions." Though not to knock the Varsity Club, they are the only ones that have something to let oth­ ers around know who they are or what they rep­ resent at games home or away. Did you not know? I didn't, not until the last school board meeting.

CUT REXALL Approximately twenty persons attended the meet­ ing of the Art Group on Monday evening at the Maple Valley High School and watched as Mrs. Eunice Priddy gave a demonstration in portraiture. Miss Jill Sandbrook served as the model and Mrs. Priddy did the demonstration with pastels, explain­ ing the various steps as she proceeded. The dem­ onstration was very informal and questions were asked and discussion conducted as she worked. Following this demonstration a meeting was held where some questions were raised in regard to continuing the workshop type meetings, what the various mem ben were interested in doing, and also in the possibility of receiving definite instruc­ tion from an art teacher. The majority seemed to feel that a regular class, with a teacher, would be more to their needs. It was suggested that Mr. Wolff be contacted in re­ gard to a regular Adult Education class in Art. A number of persons seemed to feel that a course, with some basic pointea in drawing, etc., and then branching off into the various areas such as oil painting, ceramics or sketching, would be the most popular type of class. As an aid in determining if there would be e­ nough persons to make up a class, those interested are asked to call the school, OL3-6868 or the News Office. OL3-3231 and indicate their interest. / St Shampoo Set Permanent Hair Styling Cuts -- Tints Hair Coloring HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP Closed Wedjesdays 653-3901 7 Ma.

A recent graduate of Wester Michigan university with majors in biology, sci­ ence and physical education.The addition of a­ nother teacher would eliminate some teaches hav ing six classes. Periodically classes and organizations ask p e r mission to hold drawings or raffles, or be givenpei mission to sell various articles.

Insurance on buildings and contents and school liability insurance is now due. Before consolida­ tion of the Nashville and Vermontville districts,th< insurance was, of course, held in different com­ panies.

Th package policy excludes buses which are insured under a different policy. The Charlotte Public schools are inviting other area schools to work with them in providing broad­ er vocational training. On possibly a limited basis, they would rould like to move into a joint program next year. The schools involved would include Eaton Rapids, Bellevue, Olivet, Potterville, Charlotte and Maple Valley. This method would allow bette usage of the teacher in the major area of teacherpreparation, with either the teacher traveling to the various schools or the students taking classes at a central location. The board voted to work with Charlotte in a study of the possibilities. Bids were submitted on draperies or other light control materials for the window areas at the Fulle Street, Maplewood and Kellogg schools. No defin­ ite action will be taken until the materials are ap­ proved by the state fire marshal. A bid for $4, 000 for the school bus garage was submitted by the Bilt-Rite Products, Inc. through their agent, Allen Brace. This will be given furtht study, and will be acted upon at the special meet­ ing later this month.

Higher postage rates now in effect here Postmasters DeCamp and Frith are reminding mailers that new higher postage rates became ef ­ fective Sunday, January 7, 1968, including the 6­ cents- an- ounce charge for first-class letters. Other rates effective Sunday they noted were:10 cents an ounce for air mail, 5 cents each for postal cards, and 8 cents each for air postal cards. "When you consider that 6 cents will carry a firstclass letter addressed to any one of 200 million per­ sons in 50 states, as well as letters addressed to any of 63 million persons in Mexico and Canada, "they added, "this still remains as one of the biggest bargains on earth." . . The 20 percent raise in first-class letter rates, ef­ fective Sunday, is a smaller percentage raise than that imposed on other types of malt They pointed out that there has been a 24 percent raise in the rates for mailing newspapers and mag­ azines and’a 34 percent hike in the charges for ad­ vertising circulan, "occupant" mail ana other bulk third-class mail items. The new rate provisions also establish important rate changes for heavier first-class mail pieces, the Postmasten explained. If the first-class mail piece weighs more than 13 ounces, it will go automatically by the fastest trans­ portation available--meaning air service usually. "Heavier fint class pieces, above 13 ounces, will be merged with air parcel post under a single rate schedule, " they said, " and all air mail above 7 ounces also will be subject to the air parcel post rate schedule." The postmasten assured local residents plenty of one-cent stamps are on hand for use with any existingstocks erf 5-cent sumps they may have on hand. There are also adequate supplies of 6-cent stamps to meet the new first-class letter rate available at the postoffice, they Mid. The higher rates became effective Sunday also for other categories of mail used primarily by large-volume mailers. These include bulk thirdclass advertising mail rates, special rates for books, films and records. The postoffice is working closely with commer­ cial mailen to provide them with every possible assistance in complying with the technical provis­ ions of these rate changes. WCTU TO MEET The W. C. T.

Faster delivery promised for servicemen overseas Parcels weighing up to 30 pounds will be airlifted at new low rates at Army and Fleet Postoffices serv­ ing American miliury personnel throughout the world after January 7, Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien announced. The airlift service will be provided on a space a­ vailable basis upon payment of domestic parcel post surface rates plus a flat $1 fee, Mr. O'Brien sai<£ "This major expansion of airlift will mean much faster delivery on packages sent to our servicemen stationed far from home, " the Postmaster General said. To qualify for airlift at the new special rate, a package must weigh no more than 30 pounds and be not more than 60 inches in combined length and girthThe airlift service will be available on packages mailed to all miliury personnel at APO and FPO addresses overseas, and in Alaska, Hawaii and Puer­ to Rico. It also will apply to parcels mailed by ser­ vice personnel from these offices. On parcels going overseas, payment of the $1 fee will mean air transporution all the way—from the point of mailing to the port of embarkation, and mi from there to the overseas base. In the past, to get this service the posul patron had to pay air parcel post rates. . In many insunces the new airlift rates will be considerably below comparable air parcel post charges. For example: • A mother in Chicago sending a 15-pound pack­ age to her son in Vietnam will pay $4. 30 for the new airlift service. The air parcel post rate for the ume package is $12. 08. * A five-pound package will be airlifted from New York to Vietnam for $2. 45. The air parcel rate is $4. 08. • A 10-pound package going from New York to Frankfort will cost $1.55 under the airlift service. The air parcel rate for the ume package is $5. * The airlift rate for a 6-pound package from San Francisco to Vietnam will be $1.45. The air parcel rate is $3. 08. Mr. O'Brien pointed out, however, that is will not always be to the mailer's advanuge to use the airlift service. In some insunces, depending on the weight of the package and the disunce it must be hauled in the United States, air parcel post rates will be lower than the charges for the airlift service. Mr. O'Brien advised postal patrons to check with their local postoffice for information on the best service to use in mailing parcels to miliury per­ sonnel overseas. The new airlift service is being set up under provisions of the Posul Rate Bill signed into law December 16 by President Johnson. In enacting the bill Congress directed the Postoffice Depart­ ment to make the airlift service available and to establish a flat fee to cover the additional cost of using air instead of surface transporution for haul­ ing the parcels in the United States, The regular postage on parcels mailed to or from servicemen at APO and FPO addresses is bas­ ed on the distance hauled within the United States. No charge is made for carrying the parcel between the US port and the overseas base. Under the old regulations airlift for parcels to and from overseas military personnel was restrict­ ed to packages weighing up to five podnds. Upon payment of the regular parcel post rates, these packages get surface transporution to the port of embarkation and are airlifted from there to the overseas posts on a space available basis. There is no extra charge for this partial airlift and overseas parcels weighing up to five pounds will continue to be handled in this manner. The new posul rate law also expands the airlift of news publications to miliury personheL Now news publications are airlifted only to Vietnam. Ef­ fective January 7, the airlift expanded to cover Armed Forces Postoffices in isolated, hardship and . combat support areas overseas and areas where sur­ face transportation is not available.

Mrs. Souder, who lives alone, was about ready to retire when she noticed a red glow through curtains she used to shut off the front area of the home. She immediately called her neighbors across the street, the Fred Acketts, and Mr. Ackett immediately went to her aid while Mrs. Ackett called the fire depart­ ment. The fire apparently started on or near a card ta­ ble which was stacked with cards and papers.Most of the damage was from smoke and water, although some of the furniture in the living room was charred. According to Fire Chief Forrest Babcock the fire may have started from defective wiring. The firemen battled the blaze for nearly two hours. Ov er heated furnace Friday morning the Nashville fire department was called to the Harry Jones residence 1 1/2 miles south on M-66 when an over-heated furnace set fire to the garage. A quantity of small tools were d e stroyea but a snowmobile and tractor were not dam­ aged. The tools were used by Mr. Jones in his work as a mechanic. Fire burns 4 hours In sub-zero weather the Hastings and Nashville fire departments fought a fire at the Loy Smith farm home, 6309 E. Center Road, six miles northwest of Nashville, from midnight until 4 a. m. Monday. 1 According to Fire Chief Forrest Babcock, the fire started from an over-heated stovepipe in the living room area and quickly spread to various partitions. The fire was discovered when Mrs. Helen Walsh, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loy Smith, got up to feed her two-months old son, Joseph. Mr; Smith called the Hastings fire department. They responded to the call, but since the Smith home is in the Nashville fire district, alerted the Nashville department. Both departments remained on the scene. They refilled their tankers several times from nearby Mud Creek, breaking through die ice. "There was Fire in every partition", said Wesley Erwin, the secretary of the Nashville department, " and the furnishings were all badly smoke and water damaged. " The furniture from the living room and dining room areas was moved out. Mr. Smith said he could not estimate the loss, which is covered by insurance. The Smiths, Mrs. Walsh and her two children and Allen Cozart who makes his home with the Smiths, are staying temporarily with Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Reid in a trailer next door. Mrs. Reid is a daughter of the Ley Smiths. Fire report December 31--Leslie Thompson, Devine Road. January 3--Mrs. Cevilla Souder, Reed St., House Fire.

By the time the Vermontville fire department was notified of the fire in the Archie Martin barn, it had advanced to a stage where the firemen could do little more than to keep it from spreading to other buildings. Here the bam has burned almost to the ground line. —News Photo Barn, stock des troyed The Vermontville Volunteer Fire Department battled temperatures of near zero as well as fire on Saturday morning when they were called to the Ar­ chie Martin farm on Brown Road, just north and east of Vermontville. A Urge barn, about 100 x 80 feet burned to the ground in the bitter cold early dawn. The fire had sufficient start that most of the structure was de ­ stroyed before the volunteers could get to it with water. Ten cows and 35 hogs and four sows were lost in the bam as were a pick-up truck, a tractor, some other tools, a Urge quantity of hay and grain and some straw. Anomer tractor was pulled from the Farmer Education Schedule All local farmers and others in agricultural related occupations are invited to attend the 1968 adult farmer education classes.

The fire was discovered by Danny Cook, who lives and farms just across the road from the Martin farm. Cook, who was doing his chores looked across the road and saw the bam in flames. He ran to the Martin residence and reported the fire. The Ver­ montville department was immediately called and they arrived within a few minutes of the call, but the fire by that time had engulfed the building. Mrs. Martin left the house, within easy sight of the barn at7s.rn. when she went to Vermontville and at that time she saw no evidence of fire. Mr. Martin stepped out on the back porch to look at the thermometer at somewhere around 7:10 and he saw no evidence of fire. It was only a few min­ utes later that Cook saw the bam in flames. The Nashville department was called to assist the Vermontville department with a water truck. Though it was bitter cold, there was little wind, greatly reducing the danger of the fire spreading to other buildings nearby. The origin of the fire has not been determined. Mr. Martin said the barn was covered by insurance.

Farm Shows begins their run of 50 Corn-Soybean Clinics and 40 Livestock Clinics this month. The all-new, 1968 version of the clinics will provide new and exciting information. For example, the Corn and Soybean Clinics with its team of experts will discuss uses of insecticides, fertilizers, herbicides, proper seeds, cultivating and planting practices, harvesting and storage. Emphasis will be placed on narrow rows, minimum tillage, etc. Case histories of successful practices utilized in 1967 will be covered. At the Livestock Clinics, the Experts will cover: uses of antibiotics, wormers, feed and feeding practices, artificial insemination and breed­ ing, proper hay and forage practices, plus storage procedures. Each Clinic day will be full, but the emphasis is on more NET PROFIT for the farmer Farm Shows' Clinics with their Meet the Experts panels maintain that practices and procedures farmers used two, three years ago may not be adequate today . . . agriculture is changing that rapidly. To determine the Clinic nearest you (if you are a farmer, you should attend both a Corn-Soybean Clinic and a Livestock Clinic), check the respective lists and maps appearing on the opposite page.

Notice the contrast in the two kernels shown at the left. The base of the kernel Is the last to fill. If the flow of nutrients from the stalk to the kernel is inter­ rupted, the base of the kernel is more narrow and pale yellow or white in appearance—not broad and full-shoul­ dered. HEAVYWEIGHT CORN MEANS MORE BUSHELS GIVE 3 Packets, 3 Best Finding money is always a pleasant experience. It’s even more enjoyable when there's no worry about someone having lost it So when a farmer in northern Illinois found $300 in com profits he didn’t know he had, it made the day considerably brighter. It happened when he shelled out a 1,300-bushel bin of com and found that it held , 1,600 bushels at a test weight of 61 pounds. The elevator even gave him a voluntary pre­ mium of one cent a bushel because of the high quality.

He happened to notice that one corn variety consistently tested at 57 pounds or more per bushel, compared with 50 to 53 pounds for other varieties. In a field test, he found that the weight advantage averaged out to 17 bushels per acre. In St. Louis ... THE HILTON INN IS A HONEYMOON HIDE-AWAY! One central Illinois farmer found that his truck held 35 bushels more of an XL variety than of another. And in north-central Iowa where two farmers share a crib, they shelled out 105 and 200 bushels more from one 1,400-bushel side than the other in two consecu­ tive years, thanks to a heavier variety. Scientists with DeKalb explain that the weight of a kernel of corn varies most in the shoulder (near the cob), the last section to fill in. The weight is lower when the flow of nutrients from the stalk to the kernel is interrupted by any of sev­ eral causes. These obstacles to high com weight include too little disease or insect resistance, ina­ bility to withstand the stresses of high plant population and narrow rows, and other factors in modem com production. In north central Iowa two broth­ ers who shell com throughout the neighborhood have seen 10, 15 and 20-bushel differences in the capacity of their truck strictly on the basis of test weight of the hy­ brid. This is also the elevator operator who liked to top his car loads with XL com. He would hold up a car for a truck load of XL corn that he' Richard Pitstick of Virgil, Illinois found test weight to be one of the biggest factors affecting yield dif­ ferences between hybrids in 1966. Although vol­ * ume harvested varied little from hybrid to hybrid, the weight difference was substantial. knew was coming.This same man would put XL com in a separate bin so that he could blend it in the proper proportions later when he filled cars for shipment to the ter­ minal market In north central Illinois two farmers share a crib with the same capacity on each side. XL hybrids have shelled out 105 bushels more and 200 bushels more in two consecutive years. Each side of the crib holds 1400 bushels. When investigating the cause behind the variation, it became quite clear by checking the elevator tickets and noting the test weights. One of the best loads of grain to come into the elevator last fall was XL-346; it had a test weight of 59 lbs. Because careful breeding of com seed is the basic influence on com weight per bu­ shel, researchers are making careful selection based on genetic capability. Today's in­ tensive cropping practices put com varieties to a tough test of overall quality. On the farm, though, net cash return over costs is the big test of variety performance. And a difference of 17 bushels per acre just on weight means an extra profit of $1,700 or more for every hundred acres of com. Not a bad way to find money.

No one was injured in the mishap. Justin D. Cooley was appointed village assessor Thursday evening at the regular meeting of the common council. Appointment was made by vil­ lage president James Rizor and the approval of the council. The oath was administered ny the clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU. Chief of Police Donald Langham reported he had handled 119 complaint* during the month of December. Included among the call* were car ac­ cident*, 'Stolen property, breaking and entering, simple larceny, lost property; violation* of the farm arms law; dog complaint* in which one perron was bitten; dog* disposed of; paper* served; liquor in­ spections; family trouble; malicious destruction of property under $100; traffic summon* issued; bouse check* made; disorderly conduct in public place*; abandoned cats and in the juvenile arrests or in­ vestigation* there were breaking and entering; lar­ ceny ny trickery and wayward minor*. Lined among the arrests were one for drunk and disorderly; two traffic warrants; reckless driving; simple assault; a stolen car; disorderly conduct charge. In addition Mr. Langham, a* zoning and building administrator, handledsix miscellaneous complaints, issued two permit* and made two inspection*. The village ha* already used nearly $1, 300 worth of salt this year, beside* the cost of having it spread on the streets. The superintendent of the street department, Jim Erwin, has listed some improvements he would like to have considered when tne budget is made up this year. The list was turned over to the chairman of the street committee, Harold Norris, for consider­ ation. The budget will be completed by March. The village clerk read a letter from the state highway department concerning a request for a street sign which would direct traffic to the Maple Valley Junior-Senior high school. The proposedsign was for the M-66-Reed street intersection. The let­ ter, in part, read: "It is true, as you have mentioned in your letter, that only official signs, installed the' Department of State Highways,0 are allowed by the .... — . .

NUMBER 34 Phone hold-up delays fire department call Reluctance of a woman to give up a party line caused delay in a Coats Grove man to get a fire call in to the Hastings rural fire department Sat­ urday morning. The incident is under investiga­ tion by the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. About 10:15 am there was an explosion In tne residence of Noah Keith on Coat* Grove road. The explosion shook the trailer of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Friend who live across the street. They looked out to see the Keith residence in flames and immediately Mt. Friend went to the phone to call for help. It was a "good seven minutes" before he was able to get the call through because of the party who would not hang up. Meanwhile the Woodland fire department was alerted, and arrived before the Hastings department. The cause of the explosion is still unknown, but the fire made such fast progress that the two-story home, purchased about a year ago by the Keiths, was so badly gutted it is beyond repair. There was no one at home at the time of the explosion. Mr. Keith had gone to the home of a neighbor and Mrs. Diane Keith, hi* wife, was at work at the Hastings Court Street Grill. Their yearold daughter, Vivian, had been taken to the home of a baby sitter in Hasting*. Nothing was saved from the house. Fire was shooting through the roof and from the windows when the department* arrived. The Keith* have insurance. Fire tn automobile causes motor damage An automobile, driven by Marlene Ackett of Nashville, caught fire Wednesday morning of last week. The Nashville Fire Department answered the call. Mis* Ackett was on her way to school in Bat­ tle Creek and the incident occurred on M-66 near Lacey Road. The motor area of the automobile was badly damaged. gym. --Nev* raoto �Golf Champions BACKSTREET BAROMETER , We have had a bunch of fire calls within the last few week*. Thi* is the time of year when stove* and furnace* overheat and cause trouble. Thi* is also the time of year when it is particu­ larly unpleasant to be out in the cold squirting water around. In near zero weather, water turn* to ice darn fast and valve* can freeze up before you know it. Along with thi*, a man can get awfully cold out there with icicle* hanging from hi* nose and water in his boots. It takes real dedication for a man to go out and fight a fire in wintery weather such as we have been having. Even in the middle of the summer, it is a dam thankless job. The Nashville volunteer firemen got out early Sunday morning for another cold job. This time it was not a fire but they helped member* of the Chamber of Commerce take down the Christmas decorations from the streets. I sometimes wonder if the people of the com­ munity realize just bow much these men are doing for us. While we are on the subject of fires, we might as well mention that we got some bad publicity through a fire. Wesley Friend tried to get the phone to report a fire Saturday. He was attempting to call the Hastings fire department to report a fire. A woman who was using the party line refused to give it up so that Friend could report the fire. She complained that she had just got the line and would give it up when she was finished with her conversa­ tion. The line was held up for about seven minute* and the house burned down before the fire depart­ ments from Hastings and Woodland could control the fire. It was just fortunate that there was no lots of life in the fire. Had children been burned, as is often the case in a bouse fire, we would have had much more and much worse publicity. The Telephone Company is investigating the in­ cident now. The woman who held the line up could be prosecuted for doing so. She knows what her refusal to give the line up cost someone. She probably does not care. This type seldom doe*. She, no doubt, has all sort* of justification in her mind for what she did. There is little hope that what she did will bother her con­ science a nit. This type does not seem to have much in the way of conscience. There u one thing she should keep in mind, though. Everyone on that party line is known so it wUl not be impossible to narrow it down con­ siderably; Some of the people on the line may not have been home at the time of the incident. That would eliminate them. It might be dam easy to pin-point the one who held the line while a bouse burned. Letter To The Editor Dear John and Amy Boughton: It is that time of the year again to renew our subscription for the news. We look forward to receiving the paper each week; it is like a visit when we are so far away. We hope that this new year brings loads of good things to you and your family and while we are not having any of that snow and ice, we do not envy any of you that pleasure, while we are not doing any swimming we have not had to use a coat as yet. A sweater has been all that was re­ quired to be comfortable, a* we are in the north­ ern part of the state. We do enjoy the few cool night* that we may have, but so tar one night it was supposed to get cool and I put a blanket on the bed but had to remove it before the night was over. Looking forward to another year of good new* from you.

LIFE'S LIKE THAT DEPARTMENT — Through the hottest days of the summer, the village truck with the snow plow blade remained operational and in good shape. The first day of the biggest snow yet thi* season, though, u just the time for the truck to be involved in an acci­ dent and put out of operation for at least a week. Back in the middle of the summer if a snow plow went on the fritz, we could have borrowed one from someone else. But now - everyone has all of their plows in use. These things never happen at a convenient time. Bill Perry (left) Machine Repair and Lee Christo­ pher, shipping of Owens-Illinois in Charlotte, are shown here with 1967 Golf Championship Trophies.

NABKVBXZ, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. JANUARY IS. 1968 �Will offer course in art instruction Dedicate Indian Exhibit Superintendent Carroll Wolff made the announce­ ment this week that art instruction will be offered as an Adult Education class in the Maple Valley School system if there is enough interest to warrant the class. Those who are interested should attend a meeting on Monday, January 22, at 7:00 pm in the Art Room at tne High School. Mrs. Christine Emery, the art teacher in the high school, will be present to discuss the class with those who are interested. Mr. Wolff indicated that the class could run approximately 10 weeks for a charge for the class of $4. 00 each person. The $4 charge would be for the entire series of classes. The interest seemed to be for a class where some basic instruction would be given so those who had never had any art instruction could be encouraged to attend the classes. ■ A new exhibit room depicting strong European influence on the early Indians of Michigan has been dedicated at the Michigan Historical Museum. The new exhibit is the forerunner to several oth­ ers now being prepared at the Museum, officials said. Dedication ceremonies were presided over by Secretary of State James M. Hare and Dr. Lewis Van­ der Velde, Ann Arbor, chairman of the Historical Commission. Other Commission members and His­ torical officials were present for the ceremony. Indian exhibits room covers much of the early In­ dian culture with special emphasis on how European culture influenced Michigan's Red men and altered their customs and mode of living, said Hare. Michigan's Indians were quick to adapt to Euro­ pean ways after permanent missions and military outposts were set up at Sault Ste. Marie and Michilimackinac by French explorers in the late 1600's. Actually, the French... who first visited the northern Michigan area in the 1620's... were inter­ ested in (1) the abundant and rich mineral wealth; (2) the opportunity of helping to convert the I n dians to Christianity; and (3) colonization of the New World. European goods rapidly replaced less efficient stone age implements. Iron kettles, knives, axes, and hoes supplanted stone varieties. Glass beads and cloth replaced native beads and animal skins. The Indians traded for these goods by providing Europeans with beaver pelts, some which were in great demand in Europe. The Indians also rapidly developed a taste for "firewater, " enjoying the white man's brandy and rum. Occupations changed-drastically. Farming re­ placed hunting and fishing, with French and Eng­ lish posts requiring a large food supply. Iron tools replaced stone ones. Indian burials were changed with crucifixes and metal arm bands, the principal European influen­ ces. Locals Mrs. Edith Jones is a patient at Community hos­ pital in Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Michigan While the Indians were more profoundly influ­ enced by European ways and culture, the pattern was reversed in the matter of transportation. The settlers adopted most of the Indian methods of mov­ ing about... canoes, snowshoes, and moccasins were ideally suited for traveling in northern forest lands. The most pronounced change was in the methods of waging war with the introduction of firearms and the use of iron knives and tomahawks. Indian mili­ tary tactics changed also from a reliance on small war parties and the element of surprise and stealth. European type warfare was adopted. The siege of Detroit is a good example.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, IBM �OBITUARIES New postal service offered Angus MacLeod A new service making it possible for postal cus­ tomers to get the new address for first-class mail that is forwarded will go into effect January 7, Post­ master General Lawrence F. O'Brien reported today. First-class mail is forwarded at no extra charge when the addressee has left a forwarding address, but in the past there has been no provision for sup­ plying the sender the new address. Under the new service the Postoffice will, when requested, supply the sender the corrected address upon payment of a 16-cent fee. To get the new service, Mr. O'Brien said,senden of fim-class mail must write "Address Correc­ tion Requested" below the return address. The, if the piece of mail is forwarded, a postoffice form showing the new address will be delivered to the sender and 15 cents collected. The new service is part of a revision of address correction regulations and charges established under the new postal rate law, the Postmaster General pointed out. . t In enacting the postal rate bill. Congress directed the Postoffice Department to provide address correc­ tion service for mail of all classes that is undeliver­ able as addressed. The law also requires the charge for address corrections to be uniform for all classes of mail and to be set at a level that covers the cost of providing the service. The charge for address corrections under the old system was 10 cents for second-class mail and a minimum of eight cents for third-class and fourth class mail, depending on the weight of the piece. or the reason it is undeliverable. On pieces weigh­ ing more than six ounces, the sender requesting an address correction will receive a form containing the old address and the new address or the reasonfor non-delivery.-’ The mail piece itself will not be re­ turned. ■ i Senders of third-class mail weighing more than six ounces who want address correction information and who also want the piece returned must mark their mail "Address Correction Requested Return Postage Guaranteed. " The sender will have to pay the stogie-piece third-class rate for the returned piece plus 15 cents for the address correction infor­ mation. Return and address correction service on fourth­ class mail will be the same as on third-class, ex­ cept return postage will be charged at the fourth­ class rather than the third-class rate. Except for the increase from 10 to 15 cents to the fee, the address correction procedures for secondclass and controlled circulation publications will be unchanged. The Postoffice Department cautioned third class mailers that beginning January 7 pieces bearing the words " Return Requested" will be handled as if they were marked "Address Correction Requested" and will be subject to the 15-cent fee. Mr. O' Brien also reported that effective January 7 a new return service will be available on thirdclass mail. This service will make it possible for third-class mailers to find out that their mail is un­ deliverable as addressed without having to pay the 15-cent address correction fee. Undeliverable third-class mail marked "Return Postage Guaranteed" will be returned to the sender endorsed "Undeliverable as Addressed. " The return­ ed piece will not state why it was undeliverable nor will it list the addressee's new address. The single­ piece third-class rate-six cents for pieces weigh­ ing up to two ounces--will be charge for the return service. Third-class mailers who want the new address or the reason why the piece is undeliverable will have to mark their mail "Address Correction Requested. " They will be furnished the new address or the rea­ son the piece isundeliverable and the 15-cent fee will be collected upon delivery of this information.

Telephone service problems discussed at meeting The Vermontville Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday night, January 10 for the regular monthly meeting with eighteen members present. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Brumm from the Nashville Chamber of Commerce were guests. After a potluck supper, Dale Briggs, president, told of a letter sent to the Public Service Commis­ sion by George Vogt concerning the extremely poor service the two towns have had with the tele­ phone systems. He then introduced Mr. Herb Cox of Bell Tele­ phone. Mr. Cox talked about the plans for the area. He told the welcome news that Michigan Bell wUl break ground this spring for a new building on the Vermontville-Nashville road across from the Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School Completion date is set for October 1st this year on the building and the cut-over date for the new service is sched­ uled for March 16, 1969. This building will house the equipment for phone service in both Nashville and Vermontville. Mr. Cox stated that each town will retain its own dial­ ing system, that is, Nashville still will be OL 3 and Vermontville CL 9. Mr. Cox gave statistics on monies spent in this area, improvements in cables and service and answered many questions on why the systems seem to have so many problems. He also took names, phone num ben and individual problems and prom­ ised personal attention to these. Mss. Anderson and Mrs. Maunder gave a report on the Christmas decoration contest. They remarked on the many nice decorations this year. The Cham­ ber of Commerce would like to publicly thank the judges for their time and thoughtfulness in judging. A reminder was given that Chamber of Commerce dues are now due. Member cards will be distributed as soon as they arrive. The $12 dues are payable to Mary Trowbridge, treasurer. The Christmas decorations that were ordered late in the summer finally arrived the Wednesday before Christmas and were accepted as it was felt that they might not be available next year and these match those the Village now has. This is a joint project of the Village Council, the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce. It was voted to pay the Chamber share of the cost. The letter to the Public Service Commission was discussed and the Chamber voted to wait a reason­ able length of time for improvements and then act if they were not immediately forthcoming. Russ Kerbyson told of tentative plans by the Fes­ tival Corporation to allow parking for 25 trailers over Festival week end, all arrangements to be made "by the Festival Corporation. Mr. Kerbyson was given instructions to notify them that the Chamber of Commerce would back them in their plans but went on record opposing the school park­ ing lot as a place to park them. This area is need­ ed for parade lineup on that day. A survey of private homes for additionafroom for guests is to be done by Hildred Peabody and Mary Trowbridge. There was some discussion on the damage to the ice rink and Christmas decorations but it was felt that this was not entirely the problem of the Cham­ ber of Commerce. New officers for the Chamber of Commerce this year are Dak Briggs, president; Kenyon Peabody, vice-preskient; Louise Viele, secretary and Mary Trowbridge, treasurer.

By Stanley M. Powell, State Representative, 1 89th District. Governor Romney outlined a progressive blue­ print for a better, safer and. cleaner Michigan in his annual "State of the State" message delivered be­ fore a joint session of the Senate and House last Thursday. The Governor called for a rededication of private and public determination to insure human rights and human dignity for all citizens. Other proposals for a "better" Michigan include solutions to grow­ ing local and urban problems, increased support for education, responsible and prudent fiscal policies, encouragement for Michigan employment, legisla­ tion to effectively deal with the public employee crisis, and more efficient and effective social ser­ vice programs. To make ours a "safer” state for everyone, Gov­ ernor Romney proposed a broad program of law en­ forcement legislation, covering the battle on in­ creasing crime as well as riot prevention. He called for reversing the increase of crime in Michigan. Among his suggested proposals for the strengthening of law enforcement, he urged "con­ trolled use of wiretapping, granting of subpoena power to prosecuting attorneys or the attorney gen­ eral by circuit court judges, and allowing judges to grant witness immunity upon petition of the pros­ ecuting attorney or the attorney general. " The Governor also called for legislation to make illegal the possession of Molotov cocktails and oth­ er incendiary devices, prohibit willful blocking of streets and 'highways by demonstrations, and to pro­ vice more severe penalties for interference with firemen in the performance of their duty. The Gov­ ernor said that his administration is totally com­ mitted to the full and just application of the law, to the support of those who enforce and administer the law, and to the protection of our citizens. I would echo that pledge, and will work to see that the crisis of crime in our state is met and reversed. Governor Romney also stressed the importance of lower court reorganization and a renewed offensive for greater highway safety. URGES "CLEANER" STATE Our third primary goal this year will be enacting measures to insure a v' cleaner* Michigan. The Gov­ ernor has . proposed an imaginative and thorough antipollution drive which is certainly of tremendous importance. As principal sponsor of House Bill 2163, a bill to update and improve the Michigan Veterans Home­ stead Tax exemption and bring the Viet Nam vet­ erans and their widows under the protection of this program, I was especially pleased aj the Governor's endorsement of this legislation.

WE'RE OFF TO FAST START The 1968 regular legislative session got off to a fast start last week. In addition to hearing the Gov­ ernor's "State of the State" message, legislators were busy preparing and introducing bills and be­ ginning committee work for the new session. By the time the session convened on Wednesday, January 10, some 550 bills had already been r e quested for drafting in the Legislative Service Bur­ eau. Bill requests are down slightly from the same date one year ago. The reason for this, of course, is that all bills which did not receive final action in 1967 will be carried over to the current session and are still eligible for consideration. The pro­ cess of carrying Dills over promotes a smoother start to the session, and also eliminates a great deal of waste and duplicate effort. House and Senate members agreed last week on a schedule for the 1968 session. Among the im portant dates outlined in the schedule are a Janu­ ary 26 deadline for requesting bills, and a Febru­ ary 26 deadline for introduction of bills. Appro­ priation and taxation bills are not included in these deadlines, which is normal procedure. The schedule contains a tentative adjournment date of June 26. This is not necessarily a final ad­ journment. Depending on circumstances and leg­ islative progress, a decision will be made later as to whether there should be final adjournment, a recess to a specified date, or an extension of the session. Considerable legislative interest is building o­ ver the forthcoming special election in the 23rd State Senate District. A total of 16 candidates have indicated they will run for the vacant seat. In the January 23 primary elections, there will be 14 candidates in the Republican primary and two contestants in the Democratic primary. The candidate who emerges victorious in the February 19 special election will represent the counties of Allegan, Ottawa and Van Buren and part of Barry County in the State Senate. Real Estate Auctioneering Listen**** F0R mx THE UTEST Sports r The most significant overall message in the Gov­ ernor's speech, I believe, is that Michigan must provide each person with the opportunity of enjoy­ ing his constitutional rights, and that every citizen must shoulder his responsibility to be a law abiding, productive member of our society. My Republican colleagues and I feel this is a bold and exciting outline for progress. With these goals to strive for, we foresee an eventful and pro­ ductive legislative session. 270 ACRE DAIRY FARM--with 48 stanchion bam; nice 5 bedroom modem home with 4 bedroom home; 20x60 Harvester silo, ample small buildings for large acreage; 65 acres alfalfa; 75 acre com allotment; can be financed. 155 ACRE DAIRY FARM—near Woodland; ap­ proximately 125 acres tillable; nice modem 3 bedroom home with oil furnace; 48 stan­ chion dairy bam, 3 silos, large toolahed; 68 acres alfalfa, 20 barley; on blacktop road. 131 ACRES VACANT WORKLAND-only 2 miles from Charlotte; lots of alfalfa; many good building sites.

There was a decline in all areas except for ambulance runs made, but this is easily understood since the fire department has taken over the ambulance service for the com­ munity. Twenty six runs were made, 3 grass fires (lowest number ui many yean), 2 appliances, 5 smoke and miscellaneous, one assist and 3 outbuildings and 7 dwellings. The two most regrettable was the total loss of the Wayne Granger residence and a large bam owned by Earl Harmon.

All but four are new. The quartet of previously planted salmon waters includes the Platte,. Little Manistee, and Muskegon rivers and Thompson Creek. This spring’s releases »?f 1.8 million coho fingerlings are designed co provide exciting open-water fishing along much of this state’s Lake Michigan, Superior, and Huron offshore areas in the fall of 1969 when these fish become adults. At the same time, coho runs from this spring’s plantings should yield some bragging-sized catches in the lower reaches of the Ontonagon, Muskegon, Big Manistee, and AuSable rivers. The Department’s 1968 releases of small Chinook smolte will total about 500,000 in the Manistee area, 300,000 in the Muskegon River, and 50,000 near Marquette. Besides these larger-scale plantings, the Department will stock a small number of Chinook in Thunder Bay River under a cooperative study with Alpena Community College. The Muskegon and Manistee areas, first planted with young Chinook last year, are expected to have initial "jack” runs of these fish in their stocked streams this fall. First major con­ centrations of adult chinook are looked for a year later off the mouths of the two areas’ planted rivers. BACKSTREET BAROMETER Every day tome wise guy comes up with a way to get money away from other people without working too hard for it. Of late just about every business place in the neighborhood, and I would assume the entire coun.try, has been flooded with little IBM type cards that look just like they are being sent by the tele­ phone company for Yellow Pages Advertising. This little punched our card even has a picture of a yel­ low phone- type book on a comer of the card. The message states that the name and adress with telephone number of the business will appear this way in the classified directory and please pay this amount. It turns out that this outfit has nothing to do with the Yellow Pages. They are going to put out a di­ rectory that goes to the people who advertise in it so it will be of limited value. They just hope to get a few bucks out of the deal. They probably do all right too. Maple Valley News Here is what the Post Office has to say about it. Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien says the promotea of phony business directories will find 1968 an even "rougher" year than 1967. "Last year two persons were convicted in a US Court for fraudulently mailing solicitations which appeared to be invoices for legitimate directories, four other operaton were indicted, and several pro­ moters quit to avoid possible prosecution or be­ cause public exposure of such schemes reduced their profitability," "Mr. O'Brien said. A recent check by the Postal Inspection Service indicates that the number of fake business directory operaton in Southern California--the area from which nearly all of these promoters work--declined from about 20 in January 1967 to less than 10 in December. * Mr. O'Brien hopes that the Department can vir­ tually eliminate this racket in 1968 as a result of the InsfAction Service's stepped-up drive and a pro­ vision In the Postal Revenue and Federal Salary Act of 1967. The amendment declares that solicita­ tions in the guise of bills or statements of account are non-mauable unless they contain on their face in large and conspicuous type the following notice: ■ "This is a solicitation for the order of goods and services and not a bill, invoice, or statement of account due. You are not under obligation to z make any payments on account of this offer unless you accept this offer, * The Postmaster General may require the use of language ocher than the above. The amendment will become effective March 16. Businessmen receiving solicitations which appear to be bills that do not cany this warning are urged to send the proposal and envelope in which it was mailed to the Chief Inspector, Post Office Depart­ ment, Washington.

JANUARY M. 1968 �Religious meetings well attended 1 K Nearly 70 persons listened to a'two-hour deliber­ ation on religious marten in a meeting held Wed­ nesday evening in the parlots of the Evangelical U­ nited Brethren church. The topic of the dialogue, or panel discussion, was "What Is Salvation?^Participating were the Rev. Fr. John McPhee of Detroit, from the Redemptorist Fathers of the Catholic church, the Rev. Leo­ nard Maunder, pastor of the Congregational church in Vermontville, and the Rev. Ft. Don M. Gury of the Emmanuel Episcopal church of Hastings. This is the first time in the history of Nashville that protestants and catholics have taken part in such a discussion, and the fact that these persons can, without hostility of even debate, shows the desire to understand each other's doctrines. The speakers were in full agreement as to the meaning of salvation. The differences of the sacraments, the infallability of the Pope, and the varied d o c trines were discussed only lightly because of lack of time. After the three speakers had presented their views there was a coffee break and the re­ mainder of the evening was devoted to a question and answer period. Guests were present from Lake Odessa, Vermont­ ville, Hastings and Nashville and because of the intense interest shown it is expected future meet­ ings will be scheduled. It was pointed out that the very basis for unity is to discuss the differences ex­ isting and consider the compromises that might be made. This meeting was arranged by the Rev. Fr. Ray­ mond Moeggenberg of the Lake Odessa and Nash­ ville Catholic churches and the Rev. James Varner, pastor of the host church. Rev. Robert Boyer of the Methodist church gave the invocation, and Rev. Fr. Moeggenberg gave the benediction.

Enclosed is a check for the Nashville News. I do enjoy reading'the paper and seeing the names of relatives and friends of my girlhood days. Wishing all A Happy New Year. Sincerely, Mary B. Clement Los Angeles, Calif. Council Proceedings --News FQOtO BACKSTREET BAROMETER Some of my time over the weekend was spent at die 100th meeting of the Michigan Press Associa­ tion. It was just 100 years ago this year that the editors of Michigan decided to get together. Some .of them are not together yet. On the other hand, some of the wives seem to be well together. That is another story. At these meetings we always get with other peo­ ple who have papers in towns similar to ours, so they have problems similar to ours. It is good for us to find that we are not the only ones with a certain problem. If one town has a problem, most others of the same size and circum­ stances have the same problem. One thing that seems to be happening to small­ er communities is that we are losing some of the services we are used to and they are not being re­ placed by others. Nashville, for instance, had many more stores a few years ago than now. The population of the village has remained the same, or even gone up. At the same time we have fewer retail stores in the village than we have had since the village first started somewhere around a hundred years ago. We are not alone. Numerous little villageshave just ceased to be. For some reason or other the main industry of the town has gone and the entire town went with it. The population move seems to be to the big cities. Our young people move from the smaller communities for the larger centers. They come back for vacations and to visit now and then. They tell us that they miss the many advantages of small town life. They don't particularly like the confusion and the problems of the big town. They say they would enjoy the simpler, easier life of the smaller community, yet they stay on in the city. At least they stay until it is time to retire. There must be a reason why they would endure the disadvantages of the city. Perhaps if we could find .the reason we could offer the same thing to them and they would come back to us. We would be wise, right now, to look forthose things that people find attractive about city life and study them hard. Perhaps we in the boondocks can develop alow the same lines and attract in­ dustry and trade from the larger centers. We had better find those advantages fast and take advan­ tage of them because we'are fast developing the bad things the cities have to offer. Right now we have a fine suit on obtaining the bad things the city has to offer. We have air pol­ lution. at least to a degree, we have a problem Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry & Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States |3. 60 pet year EDITOR A PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton by john boughton of what is there to do for our young people. W e have the problem of inadequate housing, or no housing at all. If we can believe the expens we are due to have more of the problems that spill over from the cities unless we can do something to avoid them. On the ether hand, we have things that are most desirable. We are small enough that we can see our prob­ lems and work them out. We are close to recre­ ation, lakes and open country and in this age of the shorter work week can mean a lot. We nave plenty of room to build houses and room for kids to grow up. If we are smart we will start developing this good side of our town and letting everyone else know about it. We should make an attempt to get more housing and perhaps attract more of the city dwellers to move out here where things are better. Then our town would grew, perhaps not a lot big­ ger, but better. Talk about fog. Saturday night - late - when I was-coming home from the press meeting in L a n sing, it got so bad that I actually could not see the road. A couple of times I had to slow right down to about five miles an hour in order to stay on the road at all. They say the cause of the fog is the warm air coming in on the cold snow. I don’t care what caused it. I'll bet it was as bad in spots along the Potterville road as it gets in London. It was just a year ago last week end that we had the big snow here in Nashville and Vermontville. As a matter of fact, I understand they had it in a good part of Michigan. Last year we could not at­ tend the press meeting because we could not get out of our own drive. This year when I started out for Lansing on Friday morning, it was snowing and for just a brief time I wondered if we were in for it again. If we don't get it during February you can bet your bottom dollar that we will have at least one blinger in March. Get ready for it. — Johnny Dull knows that we like to feed the birds so he sent us a big container of suet filled with seeds for them. Johnny had a surplus of suet and be bought up the seeds and made these things to be hung In a tree. He has distributed them a­ bout the area to the bird feeding crowd. Tell you what, Johnny. The birds who come to our feeder axe not the high class bunch. We don't seem to get the little fellows that make the bird watches oh and ah. The crowd we get are more the sparrows, starlings and an occasional jay. A­ long with them we have a squirrel who enjoys a hand out. But our birds are just as glad to get that suet and seeds as the classy little fellows. 1 don't know about the squirrel, rll bet he will be at the suet and seeds too. That is one of the good things about a small community. Johnny Dull takes his time, his suet and his seeds to make things to hang in the trees because he knows the birds need the suet and seeds and because hr knows people enjoy hanging the Things in the trees so they can watch the birds en­ joying themselves. January 11, 1968 The regular meeting of the Village Council was called to order by Pres. Rizor with all present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap-_ proved.

More than a month before the tragic collapse of the Ohio River bridge at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, delegates to the Michigan Farm Bureau annual meeting expressed concerned over this very problem. The farmer-dele­ gates said that because of fund shortages, bridge maintenance in many rural communities is not keep­ ing up with normal wear and tear. Their concern is very real because hundreds of Michigan school buses operate in rural areas over back-road bridges of an­ cient vintage in many cases. What causes a stout, well-built bridge to weaken? The constant expansion and contraction normal to Michigan weather is a major factor, even when com­ pensated for by the builders. Newer factors include the enormous tonnage of road salt often spread about by snow removal crews, and the occasional structur­ al damage done by massive snowplows or other heavy machinery striking bridge beams, abutments or sides. Not to be ignored is the ever-increasing traffic, as city sportsmen range further from home to seek the elusive deer or the charging Coho salmon, and in the process use more of our older and less sound bridges on the secondary roads of Michigan. Right now, there are about 6, 800 such bridges in our county road systems, which include 87, 038 miles -- Or 77 percent of our total state road sys­ tem. Of this amount, 25,133 miles of county roads are classified as primary roads, with 38 percent of this7 total considered inadequate and in substantial need of repair. Ch 62, 596 miles classified as strictly local roads, 47 percent are considered in­ adequate. Of the nearly 7,000 bridges on these roads, 5,031 have been reported as inadequate -- not implying that they aNasow unsafe, rather, that they are rap­ idly becoming"so in view of today's traffic de­ mands. However, it is a fact that many are unsafe under certain conditions involving heavier vehicles such as trucks and school buses, and have been posted as such. Michigan is nationally known for its wonderful primary highway system.

All ordinances in conflict hereof are hereby repealed. This Ordinance takes effect on the 16th aay of February, 1968. Adopted by the Nashville Village Council January 25, 1968 Ada F. SkedgelL 36-38c "The job of a state legislator today is entirely different than it was in 1931-32, " Representative Stanley M. Powell, R-Ionia, says. Powell was first elected to the State Legislature in 1930 and after one term of office, went back to Srivate life until 1964 when he returned to the ouse representing the 89th district. "The Legislature now is more complex and de­ manding. Ln the thirties, the House was in session four or five months every two yean, " he said."Now it’s a seven day a week, year round job. " "The issues before this year's legislature are an example of some of these demands. Lower court reorganization, open bousing and law enforcement are Ute main ones this time, " Powell said. The Michigan Constitution states that the lower courts must be reorganized and officials elected by 1309, "Last session, I assumed the Legislature would only replace the 'justice of the peace' position without upsetting the municipal courts, " Powell said. "But the bill was broader then necessary and gathered opposition." Powell said he hoped the bill would be more mod erate this time. "Open bousing doesn't directly affect the 89th district, and most people there oppose it," Powell said. Powell voted for open housing last session but won't speculate whether it will pass this session. "Open housing will pass only if law enforcement measures pass to insure respect for property and the Communities report on March of Dimes. Harry Lekrone has reported the Mothers collected $212. 06 in their March last week. Mrs. Alberta Lew­ is was chairman. There will be a complete report in a later paper when the rural areas have finished their calls. It was suggested that anyone who wishes to give and isn't contacted, may send his contribution to Mt. Lekrone, Route 1, Nashville, or put a contri­ bution in one of the cannisters in the stores. The chairman of the Mothers March in Vermont­ ville reported that a total of $97.35 was collected at the village's first March. Mb. Elon Baker was chairman thrs year. Free Clinics available in Eaton County The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. law, " he said. "You won't get one passed without the other." , . ., Law enforcement legislation would be heavily laced with riot control measure to curb riots such as last summer in Detroit. " The amount of money involved in state govern­ ment is another changing aspect, " Powell said. "The scope of the budget has mushroomed over the years. ’’ Aid to education makes up over half the state's total expenditures and is a complicated area of con­ cern, he said. Schools must have funds to provide for an increased enrollment and widening scope of services, such as transportation and extra curricular activities. Some schools have had to raise millage. Lake­ wood and Pewamo-Westphalia school districts were forced to curtail part of their programs until they could get millage increases, he said. "On top of this, aid to higher education must be considered, “ he said. Powell hopes several of his bills will be passed this session. One bill is designed to make reflectorreflectorized “ license plates mandatory on all Michigan cars L_.* ------------------------------------an d trucks. and " Reflectorized plates would allow abandoned cars along the highway to be easily spotted and warn — motorirtF motorists to stay clear. Headlights bum out but reC____ ;__ ' tpaint does not,. " be said. flectorized "Law enforcement officers offices could read license nUres <easily at night. This would help when look­ plates ’ing for ' ecific cars," he said. is sponsoring part of a bill which would Powe-------r--------- a , ---------------. allow counties and townships to contract with and subsidize private firms to provide ambulance ser­ vice* This bill will hopefully meet the crisis created when funeral directon began stopping their ambu­ lance service because of various reasons, including medicare, Powell said. Powell's bill to revise and improve the system of veteran's homestead exemptions reflects his mem­ bership on the Military and Veterans Affairs Com­ mittee. Powell is chairman of the Towns and Counties Committee which has 41 bills to go over this ses­ sion. A farmer in private life, Powell is on the Agri­ culture Committee. He is also on the Revisions to Amendments to the Constitution Committee.

The Bureau will be operated at the office of the village clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, as a part of her duties, and fines may be paid during her regular hours. The bureau will be effective February 16. Supt. of the Sanitation Department, William Cassidy, Supt. of the Streets and Water Depart­ ment, James Erwin, the Chief of Police Don Lang­ ham ask the council to draw up a one-year con­ tract with each. Langham also serves as Zoning Ad­ ministrator. He asked to be relieved of these du­ ties and the contract be drawn up only for his po­ sition as Police Chief. The council approved the request and the contracts, as drawn up by Attn. Horace Powers of Charlotte, will be ready at the next council meeting. The council also adopted a new ruling regarding the two taverns. After March 1, both taverns will remain closed on Sundays, and there will be no serving of beer or wine after midnight. By 12:30 a. m. everyone must be out of the taverns. Hereto­ fore each tavern was permitted to open every other Sunday and the regular closing hour was 2 a. m. The new ruling was adopted in order to provide better control and because other taverns in the area are closing at midnight. This provided a big in­ flux of out-of-town drinkers coming into Nashville after midnight. At the next meeting, February 8, next year's proposed budget will be presented. A letter was read from Allen D. Brace, president of the Bilt-Rite Construction, Inc. concerning some property he wished to acquire for the p u r pose of offices, warehousing and manufacturing. Presently the area is zoned for residential, not in­ dustriaL The crux of the matter is the bid for the property was rejected. Now Mr. Brace is looking for a place to store some equipment until other property can be secured. The council voted another $250 to the fire board. The new traffic bureau has been under consider­ ation of the council for several weeks. Under a lo­ cal bureau it will make it. easier for violators to pay their fines. Presently citations are handled by the municipal judge in Hastings. This means num­ erous trips to Hastings by the local Police Chief. The fine monies will now be paid locally and the monies will be put into the general fund for the village. Under the new setup in event the violator does not accept the citation and pay the fee then the officer issuing the citation is authorized to issue a citation on the basis of warrant for prosecution of such violation. The new ordinance lists certain violations which will be handled locally.

This is actually a renewal of the five mills that expired with the 1967 levy plus three mills to help cover increased operational costs. The millage will be voted for a period of two years. The board of education desires to offer a g o o d educational program, and a good competitive sal­ ary schedule is necessary to employ new teachers plus being able to hold'experienced teachers in the school system. Negotiations with teachers and non­ teaching employees will begin soon. The school district ended the past school year on June 30, 1967, with a general fund balance of $132, 397. 24. The board of education expects to end this school year June 30 with a good balance, but the balance will be decreased somewhat. It is necessary for the district to end the school year with a sizeable balance if the school district is a­ ble to operate without having to borrow. Also the school district has to meet payrolls and mainten­ ance expenses during the summer months at a time OBITUARIES Ermund Strong Ermund J. Strong, 4010 Morgan Rd., Nashville, died Tuesday, January 30. As the News goes to press, there are no further details.

Born October 21, 1885, in Roxanne township, Ea­ ton County, she was a daughter of Joseph and Nan­ cy (Wise) Kelley. Her only survivors are a brother, William Kelley of Greenville and a niece, Mrs. Gerald Lundstrum, Route 3, Nashville. Services were held Saturday, January 27 at 2 p. tn. from the Vogt Funeral home with the Rev. C. C. Gibson officiating. Burial was made at Lyons, Michigan. Etta Preston Mrs. Etta Preston, 80, died Sunday, January 28 in the Barry County Medical Facility. She had been a patient there for three years.

If you have failed to receive a return, the returns and in­ structions are now available at both the Nashville and Vermontville postoffices, and at the Village Hall in Nashville.

They celebrated die birthdays of Deidra Sprinkle, Natalie Casterline, Linda Higdon, Julie Sheldon and Victor Higdon. when the school district is not receiving any in come from taxes or state aid. Since the time o f consolidation the board of education has not had to borrow money for operational purposes. Until a time when the state sets the percent of reimburse­ ment for extra services this year such as transpor­ tation, remedial reading, and special education; it is impossible to determine the total amount of state funds the school district will receive. The in­ crease in the amount of state aid per student this year was less than $15 or less than one-third the amount of increase per student the previous year. This year's state aid act requires that a school district levy ten mills for full participation in state aid. The school district has been forced ro levy in the past the lower of the two amounts al­ located by the Barry and Eaton counties allocation boards. TTiis amount in Barry county has been eight mills. Therefore, additional millage must be voted if the school district is to continue r e ceiving the full amount of state aid. Extra oper­ ational millage is needed not only for financial operational purposes, but also to guarantee full state aid. The loss of one-fifth our state aid would be about $114, 174. 00 this year. It is also expected that additional bus runs will be necessary for the 1968-69 school year. Three new buses have been ordered for next year. t Plans for the special election were set up at a special meeting of the board of education held Tuesday evening, Jan. 23, held in the office of Supterintendent Carroll Wolff. In other business the board approved the pur­ chase of window coverings or draperies for rive rooms at Maplewood school, three at the Fuller street school and seven rooms at the Kellogg school. The cost was $2, 374. There was considerable discussion of students and curriculum for next year, and the number of cred­ its needed for graduation. No action was taken,but further discussion will be continued in future meet- ki lieu of a county institute this year, and b e cause students must be in classes 180 days, they will attend half-day sessions on Monday, February 5. In the afternoon the junior-senior high school staff will hold in-service session, and the elemen­ tary teachers will hear a representative from the Palmer Handwriting company of Schaumburg, I1L , talk on handwriting. Superintendent Wolff, high school principal For­ rest Rinehart and elementary principal Robert Stew­ ard will attend a meeting in Charlotte February 27 pertaining to a program on a combined vocational program for Eaton Rapids, Charlotte, Bellevue, Ol­ ivet, Potterville, and Maple Valley schools. Poss­ ibly some plans can be developed whereby the program can be operated by next fall on a limited basis. Mr. Wolff repotted that final approval by the State Fire marshal on the junior-senior high school building has been made. The bid of $4, 000 on the school bus garage at Nashville, submitted by the Bilt-Rite Company was rejected.

Seventh grade unbeaten Maple Valley's 7th grade played basketball with Middleville's 7th grade last Friday at the home gym and won 25 to 16. The game started slowly.

In the second half they settled down and played a better brand of balL Doug Jones led the scoring. The 8th grade lost to Middleville 38 to 46. They had lots of ball control and passing trouble. Rich Winegar and Gary Shipman led the scoring. The next game will be at Potterville February 5. Middleville wins, 75-50 Half-day school session on Monday On Monday, February 5, school will be dis­ missed at the Junior-Senior high school at 11:30 a. m and 11:45 a.m. at the elementary buildings. The original calendar listed February 5 as a county institute day with no school in session. To meet the state requirement of 180 days of student mem­ bership, the board of education and teachers have agreed to have school in session Monday morning. The teachers will hold in-service workshop meet­ ings in the afternoon. A new state ruling this year requires 180 days when students are scheduled to be in school attend­ ance. Previous to this year 180 days was required, but it was possible to count state Michigan Educa­ tion Conference days In the fall, county institute, and holidays such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Years, and Memorial Day if school were in session the day before or after such holiday.

"From now through spring, " said Dr. B. P. Brown, Director of the Depart­ ment, "is the period when most so-called "strep" infections occur.- Striking anyone regardless of age, they can be far more dangerous to health than many people might suspect. " A "strep* infection. Dr. Brown explained, gets its name from a scientific term for the bacteria which produce the infection, streptococcus. He stated that only certain types of these bacteria are harmful and that sore throat is the most common indication of infection by them. Usually entering the body through the mouth, these microscopic organisms can grow tepidly under favorable conditions found in the throat. Mild to seve£ sore throat, however, is not the only possible result of this infection. Dr. Brown em­ phasized. Streptococcal infections, especially in children, can spread to or begin in other parts of the body. Scarlet fever is a serious disease of childhood also caused by certain of these bacteria. Rheumatic fever, in which there may be damage to the bean, and a mild to severe type of kidney disorder are two complications which can arise from "strep” infec tion. Because the course of streptococcal infection can­ not be predicted, it is best to see a physician when­ ever sore throat appears, the doctor pointed out. The physician may take "swab* of the throat, a painless procedure that is done in order to identify the in­ fecting organism. For streptococcal infections, spe­ cific medicine which will destroy the bacteria can be prescribed. Through this early detection and e­ radication of "strep" bacteria are found in crowded confined areas. Hence, early detection of such in­ fections often a good preventive measure. In closing, Dr. Brown stated, "Even though strep­ tococcal infection may only produce minor sore throat pain, people should not overlook the fact that a major medical problem with serious consequences can spring from it. " He then issued this plea; "DurShi> *»uep’ Muuoa your he>lth department u ur~ you to seek qualified medical attention whenmembers of your family, particularly your chil­ dren, complain at sore throat.

Sage, 20, as the "Outstanding Citizen of the Year", and to Harry Leckrone, the "Outstanding Elk of the Year. " Miss Sage, a 1965 graduate of Hastings high school, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Sage, 904 West Walnut St., Hastings. She joined the staff of WBCH radio station in Hastings in the fall of 1965, and through her affiliation is well known throughout the area as Cindy through her daily r e port of "Bulletin Board" and "hospital news" pro­ grams. Just a few short weeks before Christmas last year Cindy was named to a committee to work o n the Chamoer of Commerce Christmas parade. It proved most successful Last January during the big snowstorm she assisted for almost a full broadcast day in the nine-hour "talkathon" that was just about the only communications link for Barry county peo­ ple. Cindy was recently given special recognition by the Hastings Chamber of Commerce for her work in promoting the Christmas parade. Presenting her award from the Elks was Russell Nash, head of the Elks, and toastmaster for the evening. Tony Youngs, co-chairman of the MajorProjects committee of the Elks this year, presented the Elk of the Year award. Before the presentation Mr. Youngs told of the committees Mr. Leckrone had worked on, the hours spent on the clean-up-fix-up, paint-up crews, his ability to fill in as an Elk officer in the absence of the regular officer, and the con­ tribution he had made in assisting with the Major Project auction tried for the first time this past year. Mr. Leckrone, who resides on Pokey Drive, west of Nashville, operates an auto and body repair shop on Devine Road. Vermontville schedules changes for coming months A number of improvements for Vermontville are on the agenda for the coming months. Included will be the construction of a new fire barn, the purchase of a new 1. 500 gallon tanker for the fire department and tne revamping of the; present fire bam which is located in the lower section of the Opera House. These improvements are under the jurisdiction of Vermontville township which includes the village and surrounding area. The tire bam will be constructed on Main street across from the Opera House. Chris King, local ar­ chitect, will draw up plans, following a survey of the needs of the fire department. The building will probably be some 40 by 60 or 70 feet and will be of cement blocks or an insulated building material. The estimated cost is around $10, 000 and will be taken from the general fund of the township. This can be paid for without asking for any additional millage. After the new building is constructed the present area used for storage of the fire fighting equipment will be re-vamped for a township hall and for stor­ age or extended area for the adjoining Vermontville Public Library. ?.l*o included in the area used for a township hall will be space for elections. Hereto­ fore, voting has taken place upstairs in the Opera House, and climbing the stain to vote presents a problem to some of the older electors. The new $12,000 tanker for the fire department will be delivered about the last of March. The tank­ er is equipped with a front-mount pump, space for hose, two reels for smaller hose and other equip­ ment. In commenting on the new purchase Town­ ship Supervisor Gerald Siple said tne tanker will be paid for through a one-mill tax spread several yean ago over a 20-year period. Cynthia Sage and Harry Leckrone receive awards from Russell Nash, left, . and Tony Youngs, right. Cynthia was named Citizen of the Year, by the Has­ tings Elks. Harry was named Elk of the Year. - -Photo by Gladys Richardson. VFW Commander Dale Maurer and Auxiliary President, Alberta Lewis, hold the VFW March of Dimes card with more than $80 on it.

Beekman, will address the Eaton County Associa­ tion for Retarded Children at their regular meeting to be held at the AU Purpose room of the Potter­ ville Elementary School at 7:30 p. m. Thursday, February 15. Mr. Beekman has recently been honored by hav­ ing the new comprehensive facility for the retard­ ed, which is under construction in East Lansing, named for him. He will give details about the new Marvin Beekman Center and discuss new trends in special education. ‘ Mr. Beekman has served thirty seven years in the field of Special Education. He spent twenty of those years as a teacher of mentally handicapped children and seventeen years as Director of Special Education for the Lansing Schools. This distin­ guished past makes him weU qualified for his recent appointment as Director of the Division of Special Education of the Sure Department of Education of the State of Michigan. Eaton County residents interested in the welfare of handicapped children are urged to attend this meet­ ing where they can learn how Eaton County can ex­ tend and expand their facilities and services to the handicappea Bilt-Rite Corporation looking for new home Allen Brace, president of Bilt-Rite, is hoping to acquire property here for opening a plant. There wiU be need for office space, warehousing and manufac­ turing. The manufacturing at present will consist of doors, ventilators, air baffles, dropping boards and other wooden parts necessary to the erection of con­ trolled environment housing for livestock. Also there will be a division for the manufacture of wooden sod pegs, industrial spools and wooden frames for card­ board cartons. With an eye to the future the com­ pany would like to be free to expand to other prod­ ucts. The company had hoped to purchase the Maple Valley school bus garage. But delayed plan in erec­ ting a new garage has necessitated the rejection of the Bilt-Rite bid. Meanwhile Bilt-Rite is desperately looking for a home, and their immediate need is a place which can be used for storage. This would not necessarily need to be a big place, even a large gar­ age or bam would give temporary relief. But they've "gotta have a home, we've just gotta find a hornet” �BACKSTREET BAROMETER LIFE’S LIKE THAT DEPARTMENT. The way for a town to get a bit of publicity is for something bad to happen there. A while back we had some local publicity about a person on a party line who would not give up the phone long enough for an emergency fire call to go through. The house burned down before the fire de­ partment could save it. It happened that the phone was in the Nashville exchange so the story was re­ ported from here. A week or so ago Adolph Douse came in with a letter from a friend of his in Washington. D. C. The fellow in Washington had seen the story, with the Nashville date line, in the Washington Post. The other day we got a letter from Mis. Arthur Pennock in Florida. She sent us a clipping from the San Antonio, Texas paper with the article in it. It wouldn't shock me to get more reports from all over the country. I don't know whether the ground hog had anything to do with it, but the weather has been darn spring­ like these past couple of days. I am one of those people who looks for spring right after the first of February. I always feel that when the sun comes up a bit earlier in the morning, and when it is still light at 6 o'clock in the evening, we have passed the hump, so to speak. So far as I am concerned, spring is here. Last Sunday a bunch of kids got out on the ice in the field next to Bun Cuyler's nouse to skate. The recent rains formed a huge puddle, small lake, and the sudden colder snap froze it nicely. The kids got their skates on and really had a bait Some of the neighborhood dogs got out and romped a bit with them. Dogs and Kies spent a good deal of their time not on their feet. The spring-like thaw has created a bunch of chuck-holes in the roads. Jan your eye teeth when you hit one. __ ______ My friend, Cindy Sage was named Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the Hastings Elks. Harry Leck­ rone was named outstanding Elk of the Year. Both of these folks deserve the honors. They are both hard-working people. Harry has been the March of Dimes chairman for the area and has done a fine job. Letter To The Editor According to an article published in the Enquirer & News, Monday. January 29, the local taverns are to be required to remain closed on Sundays and to close at midnight every night. The Village Council is in error regarding the closing hours of area t a v eras. Obviously the council members haven't visited any of the area taverns lately or they would be a­ ware of the fact that they are all permined to stay open until 2:00 a. m.. Closing the local ban early will cause an influx of drinking driven from the area ban at 2:30 a. m. which will create a problem for our local law enforcement officers. If the local council wants to control the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday, why discriminate against the ban only. It seems to me that according to the above rules and regulations the Council will soon be dictating the hours of all the businesses in town. Also, I understand a good share of the liquor li­ cense fees and other taxes are returned to the local area. Our boys are fighting in Vietnam to defeat dictatorship. What have we in Nashville? Were the local tavern owners even consulted on the rescinding of What Was Considered a Mutual Agreement on Closing Hours? Bob Fueri, Jr. 313 Phillips St. Nashville, Mich.

Mrs. Justin Cool­ ey and Mrs. William Hynes planned and helped prepare the chicken dinner which was served by ladies who volunteered from the church. The pro­ gram that followed included group singing led by Ed Smith, and several musical numbers from an ensemble of youth who are band members. Stanley Graham was master of ceremonies. Adults came later to hear the featured speaker, who was Representative Dale Warner of the Michi­ gan House, one of the youngest elected officials of this state. He was introduced by Steve Douse of Nashville, who had accompanied him from Lansing where Steve is a student at Michigan State Univer­ sity. A young man himself, barely out of the category of the four million Michigan people who are under the age of 26, Mr. Warner was able to speak frank­ ly to youth and command an attention and respect perhaps not readily available to other speakers at such occasions. His subject was "A Christian in His Vocation." . suit or relationship in one’s vocation, that career must be a reflection of the total philosophy one holds toward life. As an example, he stated his own philosophy as being that verse of scripture which remarks, "Jesus grew and increased in wis­ dom and stature, and in favor with God and man. " As each aspect of this was explored, all areas of life in today's complex world were included. Em­ phasis was placed on growth and that premature marriages and dropping out of school often put a lock on growth. Wisdom comes not so much from academic learning but in learning to distinguish and define and in developing the ability to think for oneself, accepting mistakes and learning from them. Stature involves keeping the body fit through refraining from bad habits and exercising, if necessary. He cited Governor Romney's example in this. Favor with God and man evolves" from not ' ignoring the spiritual and in cultivating the role of "getting along with people. " Youth have their fer­ vor and brashness as an advantage in proclaiming whatever they espouse. Mr. Warner began bis interest in politics at the age of fifteen with house-to-house canvassing. He explained certain circumstances in which his con­ victions bear upon decisions in the legislature. Sev­ eral of his committees deal with liquor control, fair housing, and narcotics investigation. Junior play, ‘Going Places9 will feature two casts "Going Places" has been selected by the Junior class of the Maple Valley high school for presenta­ tion Thursday and Friday, March 14 and 15 in the school auditorium. Two casts, one appearing each night, will be used. They are to be directed by Mrs. Greta Finter. The play revolves around the Maxwell family and the time of year is vacation time. Each mem­ ber of the family is looking with anticipation to­ ward the coming two weeks. But each has his heart set on going to a different place, so Mother M a x well, after seeing others come back from their va­ cations completely exhausted, decided it will be best for them to spend this year's vacation at home. Then Father will be ready to return to work, the children will be rested for school, but things turn out far differently. With the arrival of the grand­ parents on both sides, the special business problems for Mr. Maxwell, everything becomes a mess. By the end of the two weeks the entire family is practi­ cally unconscious and Father is practically carried to work on a stretcher. The part of Mr. Maxwell will be played by Dale Fisher and Larry Swan; Mn. Maxwell, Janet Dennis and Jeana Shaw; Grandpa Maxwell, Stanley Graham and Steve Tefft; Grandma Maxwell, Marabeth VanRlarcom and Judy Rasey; Betty Lou Maxwell, Deb­ bie Durham and Karen Rose; Connie Maxwell, Pat­ sy Stanton and Jeri Hammond; Wilbur Maxwell, Dave Smith and Jim Sheldon; Hercules Nelson, Chris Boughton and Dan Rose; Mr. Brown, Owen Moore and Bob Misener; Mrs. Brown, Peggy Hummel and Barbara Frith; Bernadine Smith, Kathy Fox and Kar­ en Benedict; Mr. Hinckley, Larry Lingholm and Steve Joppie, and Aunt Mary, Marsha Ackett and Sue Norris. New officers elected At the meeting Tuesday night, officers were named for the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. The meeting was held at the Fuller Street school and approximately twelve persons attended. Harold Christiansen was named the president of the organi­ zation. Other officers include Fred Ackett, vice­ president; Frank Scramlin, secretary-treasurer and trustees, Earl Hose and Jim Rizor. Although no definite plans were made at this meeting other than the election of officers, some discussion was held in regard to the syrup-making activity. It was felt that there would be enough interest to begin the sap gathering and syrup making when the weather conditions warrant it. It was felt that the firemen and the boy scouts would gather the sap. As other plans are made, they will be announced. WE HAVE give tier a Sweetheart Cliest t>y Lane Pastor B. J. Varner.

Your pancakes were delicious. ■ Had a letter from Carroll Spicer.He is in the Ar­ my and is located in the Far East. The following is an answer to the suggestion ot "Should the FBI train all policemen in tne US?" It was written by Bill Ray. FBI Threat By BILL RAY The idea of the FBI training all law enforcement officer* could threaten in the end, the security of this country. This step would put the Federal govern­ ment into a new area of involvement. Financial aid was the only major help that the Federal government had helped law enforcement officers up to this time. By past examples of history when the police are trained by the government then a police state ensue*. Hitler and Mussolini strengthened their hold over the people with police trained by the central government. This step would change even the basis of our Amer­ ican system of government. It would change from a Federal setup to that of a Unitary structure. Law en­ forcement is the last major power that local units of government have. Taking this power away from lo­ cal government would dangerously strengthen our central government. England has police trained by a centralized government and in police procedure Eng­ land lags behind the United State*. The public deserves the kind of police protection they receive. In our setup now the local citizen* fi­ nance the police department*. Any local unit of gov­ ernment can send policemen for further qualified training at police academies. What's stopping many communities from upgrading their police forect is the cost. If an area doesn't want to spend too much for police training then the community doesn't de­ serve law enforcement protection. President Johnson, in hi* State of the Union a d dress, stated that law enforcement belongs on the lo­ cal leveL Education and law enforcement must al­ ways remain in the hands of local people. Education ano the law* are the stronghold of Democracy. Any­ thing threatening to even put law enforcement train­ ing into a position where one man can control it is placing our whole system of government in danger. I like to stand on the status quo. Eighty percent of all reportable crimes are cleared by policx action. It is rather hard to see bow an eighty percent a r rest rate and ninety percent conviction rate can be interpreted by anyone as a collapse of law and order. There is no need for the FBI training of policemen as the hazards of the proposition are more dangerous than the likely advantages. The United States ha* some of the finest police in the world.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1968 �THE NASHVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1968 in this issue: PAGES OF WINTERTIME FOODS BIG FARM OUT OF A LITTLE ONE GEORGE WASHINGTON: FARMER-INVENTOR GRASSROOTS GLEANINGS �Some consideration was given to purchasing another farm to solve the problem. But was that the best solution? Taxes were high and on the increase, insurance costs run high, initial investment was still another factor not to mention prob­ ably new and biggest equipment for covering more ground. Glenn doubted that another farm was the answer. He and his wife, Dorothy, had heard of a self-propelled irri­ gating system that would take care of 150 acres of any and every crop — automatically. This sounded more like the answer. The area has long required irrigation to get any sort of profit­ able production, but it took lots of costly labor to be continually running to the field to move the pipes to a new location. Glenn Frozene sat down and did some figuring. He concluded that if he went to narrower rows, planted his com heavier and fertilired stronger than recommendations, he could more than Photo #1 — Knee-deep in clover (this happens to be Alfalfa) Glenn Frozene is a proud and happy farmer since investing in the huge irrigation system seen in the background. The self­ propelled machine can add an inch of water evenly over 150 acres or more in )ust over 3 days of contin­ uous operation. double his yields — with irrigation. Today if you go to Glenn Frozene’s farm (and you’re always welcome), you'll most likely see his irrigation system stretching out for 13 hundred feet delivering 11 hundred gallons of water BIG FARM OUT OF A LITTLE ONE Photo t2—And, here’s an­ other source of "miracle production". In this cen­ tral Wisconsin area, there's almost never enough rain to bring the crops through profitably. Water makes the difference between about 75 and 150 bushels of shelled corn per acre. And, keep in mind, a good share of that extra produc­ tion is profit. by E. R. Minser Certain parts of agricultural America are right now enjoying production boons the likes of which fanners have never seen be­ fore. And, it’s happening on soils that don’t even measure up to high average on anybody’s measuring stick Com yields are being doubled or better. Alfalfa tonnages are being at least tripled. Vegetable crops are yielding better and of higher quality than ever before. The answer — WATER. There are areas in the northern extremes of the Combelt that are out-producing their fellow farmers in “perfect” com grow­ ing areas like Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. These Michigan, Wis­ consin and Minnesota producers have found the proverbial “equal­ izer” in plain old H2O. In order to find out just how much irrigation can mean to a farmer, we went up into the central Wisconsin community of Stevens Point. We visited at length with Glenn Frozene, a good Wisconsin dairyman who recently invested heavily in a self-pro­ pelled irrigation system. Glenn is one farmer who knows that each dollar invested in fertilizer will return him $4.00 or $5.00 — if he can get water to it In past years his only limiting element in the entire operation was water. 1967 was to be his year. Son Larry was 18. He wanted to farm. e IKS RURAL GRAVURE per minute to his field crops. An underground “river” gives him all the water he needs to keep the system going around the clock if he elects to keep it on. “The logic of going to self-propelled irrigation and doing a better job with what we have is paying off,” said the “System”atic farmer. . “It used to be that 75 bushel com was the absolute top yield around here. I have never in all my life seen such good com and so much of it as I have out there in the field right now. It ought to make better than 150 bushels per acre without any problems,” he continued. Frozene went on to say that com ensilage tonnage should about triple and, without a doubt, his all important hay tonnage will be three times as great “Usually spring rains bring on a good first cutting of alfalfa, but the second cutting, under dryland conditions, is usually ques­ tionable. Now, with irrigation, we should always get three cut­ tings and maybe four,” he said. “It’s absolutely fantastic. I can sow new alfalfa in the spring and get a couple of tons per acre that same year,” he volunteered with some enthusiasm. Glenn Frozene hosted the 1966 Wisconsin Farm Progress Show. About 100-thousand fanners came to “the show” and got a glimpse of his pushbutton feeding operation. His dairy operation permits a milking string of 30 cows. In addition, he feeds out some beef. Three large silos are kept fuller than they ever were before with vastly more haylage and silage being produced. A pushbutton system permits him to mix the ration he selects from his silos and a bulk feed tank Yes, Glenn Frozene, Grand Marsh, Wisconsin has found a way to make fanning easier and a lot more profitable. Even better than that, I’ve found a way to take the year to year weather variations out of the operation. I can now plant, fertilize and irrigate to get a maximum production every year,” he said. “I get far more mileage out of my land. This is a simple family farm — not a corporation. I sort of think this might be the move tliat can make the family farm stable and practical again.” Com population ranges from 20 to 28-thousand plants per acre in 30" rows. Since he can control virtually everything but the sunlight, Frozene is.experimenting with going the limit A buried electric cable takes the juice to the hard working pump that delivers water through the line of sprinklers that meaBures a quarter of a mile in length The system walks itself around the 160 acres of the farm with­ out any help whatsoever. It takes about three days to make the trip (one revolution) and deposits over 1 inch of water on the entire area. “Only bad thing —it brings the alfalfa along so fast that it seems like you’re making hay all the time. It’s so efficient it’ll work you to death keeping up with the crop,” he said. On unirrigated land, a 38-day recovery to the next cutting of hay is considered great. He has been getting deep lush growth in early bloom in 33 days. “I think it’s just this simple,” said the inspired Wisconsin farm­ er, “we made a substantial but sound investment in automatic irrigation and made A BIG FARM OUT OF A LITTLE ONE— without buying any more land.” �Because Amiben herbicide has all these qualities that soybean farmers want. Convenient to use. Liquid concentrate mixes instantly with water to form a true solution. Granules are clean, easy to handle. Controls both broadleaf weeds and grasses —many more species than any other soybean herbicide—(some 51 broadleaf weeds, and 25 grasses including seedling Johnson grass). ■ Weed control lasts all season long but there is no soil residue, or carryover, at harvest. (You can plant winter grains as soon as you take off your beans.) ■ Not harmful to soybeans, no adverse effect on soybean seed germi nation. ■ Economical — $3.34 per acre banded at the 2 lb. per gallon rate.

Serve it with a flair for Sunday; try Chicken Crunch for an easy meal during the week. What a nice company meal chicken can be! With the low prices of today you can buy just breast meat and try Chicken Cordon Bleu for a really new way of serving chicken. So if you're used to having chicken only on Sunday it’s time to change your habits. If a recipe calls for chicken stock or broth, you can dissolve a chicken bouillon cube or a tea­ spoon of chicken-flavored paste or crystals in % cup water. For a richer flavor anytime, add one or two bouillon cubes to a stewing chicken. This addition makes delicious gravy.

Seafood and fish, salads or desserts are but a few dishes which take on new interest and flavor appeal with the addition of a touch of lemon. An average lemon should produce approximately cup juice and IVz teaspoons grated rind. Lemon juice concentrates vary in strength, so check label for equiva­ lents. Use half as much dried lemon rind when substi­ tuting for fresh. A few drops of lemon extract can give you somewhat the same flavor as grated rind or peel. by Pam Howard '• �in the best stay-fresh wraps since nutshells!

The dried fruits of certain varieties of grapes containing 23 to 34 per cent of sugar are called raisins. This sweet mellow fruit is an excellent source of iron and because of its natural sugar content it is a quick energy food. Vine ripened grapes are sun dried on trays in the vineyard. This concentrates their natural fruit sugar to 70% and makes them dark and handsome. Others are dried indo under controlled conditions to produce golden raisins. by Betty Curren BEE HIVE RAISIN APPLESAUCE CAKE (15~ounce) use maple, rum, or brandy package dark extract) seedless raisins 4 cups sifted flout cup boiling 1 teaspoon salt water cup margarine 2 teaspoons soda teaspoon cup applesauce nutmeg 'ggh weU teaspoon beaten cinnamon cups sugar teaspoon teaspoon ground cloves vanilla (or may Grind raisins, using medium blade.

Nevertheless, his greatest love was centered around the farm of Mount Vernon, where, between con­ flicts and governmental dut­ ies, he exhibited another side of his nature by inventing and developing several pieces of farm machinery. Washington’s first venture into the world of invention began in March of 1760. At this time, unsatisfied with the types of plows currently in use, he undertook the task of making a better plow. Not surprisingly, his attempt was successful. Craftsmen were as plenti­ ful as farmed acres at Mount Vernon, consequently, when Washington began his efforts to improve the plow, he found all the required help needed. Beginning his first venture in inventing, he called upon his blacksmith. Together, like two men with a purpose, they traveled to a neighboring field. There, with the smith’s help and Washington’s think­ ing, they put together parts of a “two-eyed” plow with other parts of a “duck-bill” plow. Not being a man to delay anything, Washington put the new type of plow to the test immediately. For two hours, he watched intently as the plow was employed, mak­ ing minor adjustments as it turned the soil with a new ef­ ficiency. Later that night, according to the practice of the period, he entered the following statement into his journal: “Spent the greater part of the day making a new plow of my own invention, and found that it answered my purpose very well.” Although his first plow was successful, Washington’s most important invention, and certainly the one in which he took the greatest pride, was a type of “drill”, which he called a “barrel plow”. At the time, at Mount Vernon and elsewhere, all seeds that were sown were scattered by hand, and then covered over with a hoe or with a harrow. This tedious and time-wasting process prompted Washington to im­ prove the old method of sow­ ing. ■ Basically, Washington’s “barrel plow” consisted of a wooden barrel mounted upon a wheeled plow. When the plow moved, the barrel turned. Holes were cut into the barrel and tubes placed into the holes. When in oper­ ation, the “barrel plow” de­ posited the seed into the ground, and a drag, placed behind the drill, covered the seed as the plow moved along. Writing of his “barrel plow”, Washington explained to a friend “that it would not work to good effect in land that is full of stumps, stones, or large clods; but, where the ground is tolerably free from these and in good tilth, I am certain you will find it equal to your most sanguine expec­ tations, for Indian corn, wheat, barley, pease, or any other tolerably round grain, that you may wish to sow or plant in this manner. by John C. Vitale Understandably, Washing­ ton made use of his new drill type of “barrel plow” whereever possible. Besides sowing seed of many varieties, he even tried planting turnips with it. In the summer of 1786, in fact, he wrote proudly in his diary of sowing turnips with his plow. “Having fixed a roll­ er to the tail of my drill plow," he wrote with pride, "and a brush between it and the barrel, I sent it to Muddy Hole and sowed turnips in the intervals of corn”. Washington’s thinking, and his pronounced talent for creative invention, soon led him into the direction of architecture. In fact, he planned and drew up specifi­ cations for all the bams and other farm buildings which were erected on his vast estate. One of his most outstand­ ing accomplishments as an inventive architect was his 16-sided barn. This many­ sided brick structure was once described by one of his neighbors as “the best and most conveniently arranged bam on this side of the At­ lantic". Included in the novel bam was a specially designed threshing floor, containing cracks through which the grain, when trodden out, dropped to a second and per­ fectly clean surface. Immedi­ ately the 16-sided barn be­ came the talk of the coun­ try, adding new luster to the already glowing fame of George Washington. Threshing machines be­ came Washington’s next great passion as a farm ma­ chinery inventor. In 1797, he employed William Booker, the American inventor who had introduced the threshing machine, to come to Mount' Vernon and to set up the ma­ chine. But only disappoint­ ment followed. The thresher, at the beginning, threshed only some 40 bushels a day. Later its output dropped to 25, and it broke down com­ pletely before it had threshed a total of 500 bushels. The following April, Wash­ ington wrote to Booker and stated that the thresher “has by no means answered your expectations or mine". < Although the Booker thresher had failed to come up to Washington’s expecta­ tions, he did not give up the hope of developing a machine on his own. Corresponding at great length with both Eng­ lish and French agricultur­ alists, he soon devised a new type of thresher, based on the best points of the Booker ma­ chine and the latest European models. This thresher, al­ though not totally perfect, served the needs of Mount Vernon for many seasons. > As a farmer and inventor, Washington’s achievements cannot be measured with any degree of certainty, since, as it were, his time was called upon by his country so fre­ quently. However, despite this fact, he did leave his mark, demonstrating to the world and future generations his ability as an inventor. A patnfmg by Thomas P.

Daily Republican. The O’Brien County Bell of Primghar, Iowa, says that it can remember way back when: — a baby’s sitter was its mother — drip dry was what we did after swimming — headshrinkers lived in the jungle — a pusher was the guy behind you — and a junkie bought scrap iron. Misery, according to a young writer in the Mercer County Chronicle of Coldwater, Ohio, is when it starts to snow in the middle of the day and your mother brings your galoshes to school.

The Sunday closing decision came at the previous regular meeting of the council. By that ruling, which was to go into effect on March 1st, the tav­ erns would be required to close at midnight rather than at 2 a. m. as was the custom. This In addition to the Sunday closing. iat they The owners of the taverns both stated that had no objections to the midnight closing time, but di both said that Sunday is a particularly good day for business. For a number of years the taverns have alterna­ ted their Sunday opening. Each tavern was permit­ ted to be open on alternate Sundays. Both Mrs. Best and Mrs. Wixson pointed out that they serve lunches and coffee as well as other bev­ erages and that much of their Sunday business is in this type of service to the public. The council agreed to take the request of the tav­ ern owners under advisement. In other business the council decided to increase the annual salary of the Village Clerk to $4. 000.00. This is to compensate for the increase of duties of and the war required to do only part-time duties. The job is now full time. income Tax forms are available locally The Michigan Individual Income Tax Returns and Instructions have been placed in the mails. If you have failed to receive a return, the returns and in­ structions are now available at both the Nashville and Vermontville postoffices, and at the Village Hall in Nashville.

The report listed a to­ tal of 121 complaints handled in the past month. Langham also explained the use of chemical mace to subdue difficult arrest cases. He is now equipped with mace and is trained in the use of the irritant. The mace, when sprayed on the face, irritates the eyes and nose and renders a person incapacitated for long enough to get handcuffs on him. "It takes all the fight out of a man, " Langham said. * The council also approved the purchase of a new police car, delivery to be in four to six weeks. It was agreed to request Consumers Power Company to check the lighting on Sherman Street and other streets in Nashville and to make recommendations as to where additional light is needed.

Last week I listed two people from remote places in the United States who saw that story about the telephone line being held up while a house burned here in our neighborhood. One of these came from Washington, D. C. and the other from somewhere in Texas. Now the other day Mrs. DeMond saw Amy on the street and she gave her a clipping from the Pacific Stars and Stripes of January 17, 1968. She said her son cut it out of the paper and sent it to her. So our fame has gone overseas. Why can't we get some publicity for doing some­ thing good? Our neighbor, just across the street. Delores, Knoll, got herself right in the middle of the capture of a couple of bank robbers before she knew what was going on. ' Delores said she saw a police car waiting at the side of the road and thought it was waiting to jump on speeders. Just after she passed the police car she turned into a driveway (of the Allis Chalmers Agen­ cy) and right behind her a car followed. She was so intent on where she was going that she didn't even notice the car behind her. As she got out of her car she heard a voice say, "Put your nands up and don't turn around." Delores said she just had to turn around, to see if they were talking to her, and there she saw a policeman with a snot gun, which she thought he was aiming at bet. Actually the policeman was aiming the gun at the occupants of the other car. The police pulled the men from the car and right after that they pull­ ed the $10,000 in loot which they had taken from a bank in Lansing. Took Delores me rest of the day to get over it.

This is the time of year when we get the phone calls from people who have seen the first ronin of spring, or pre-spring. I have a suspicion that those early robins didn't go south at all, They are just like the people who stand in line for the tickets to the world series-they were there all the time. I think those birds just hang around all winter so that they can be the first here in the spring. It is kind of a hollow honor, though. I'd a lot rather go south and be known as the bird-brain who didn't return north till far into the bikini season. Hi(|h Speed Dryer A friend of mine was telling me of a fellow be knows, who has developed a very involved scien­ tific theory about woodpeckers. This guy sayr* woodpeckers don't live as long as other birds and he also says they wind up to be psychopathic be­ fore they zonk off. This man says the reason for this is that they scramble their brains hammering on the trees the way they do. I watched a little fellow the other day on our pine tree and as he batted his little head back and forth I couldn't help but think that guy was right. Locals MANY OTHER BOOKS ON NATURE, HUMAN IN­ TEREST, FICTION, SCIENCE AND CRAFTS. On Monday, Feb. 5th Maple Valley Junior High played basketball at Potterville. Potterville's very small gym frustrated and bottled up the 7th grade and they lost 31-25. Linden Aspinall was high point man. ” The 8th grade looked the best they have looked all year and won 41-32. They shared complete bal­ ance scoring. / On Friday, Caledonia played in the Maple V a 1 ley gym. The 7th grade had real good ball control, good teamwork, aggressive play and won 44-34. This gives them a 6-1 record. The 8th grade also had real good ball control, good team work, aggressive play and won 31-29. This gives them a 4-3 recortl The last game is at Wayland February 16th. The Junior High tournament will be at Middleville Feb­ ruary 26-29. Don Langham, our local law officer, showed me the can of chemical mace he has on his belt. Don tells me that he took a special course of training in the use of the mace and part of the course was to submit to being squirted with the stuff. Don says there is no way to tell of the discomfort one has when he has been hit with the stuff. He said one's eyes and nose smart so that he can’t see and that he wants to do nothing more than just to lie down and cover his face. I asked Don if he had used the mace yet and he said he only had to aim it at one man who was be­ ing difficult. The man had no doubt read about the mace and he became very easy to get along with. He said it takes the fight right out of a man. The use of such a new development as this can have great impact. This should make the job of the officer much easier in the case of someone who wants to put up a fight. No police officer wants to pull a gun on anyone. There is always a danger that an innocent bystander will get hurt when there is shooting. Aside from this, probably no police­ man wants to be in the position of having to use a gun on anyone. This mace makes it less necessary to use a gun. _____ Balance left to do the work Bums and others who never work Nashville News In Charlo u.

Free Clinics available in Eaton County The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. AMERICAN STANDARD CHARLOTTE Appliance Co.

PE—1741—JU THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1968 �School officials attoat Atlantic City conference BIG SCARE Dairy farmers are very uneasy these days. So is the whole dairy industry, which represents the larg­ est segment of Michigan's agriculture. Everyone is wailing for imitation milk to hit the Michigan market. The question is not if, but when. . In brief, this is the situation: Several forms of "imitation" milks are in produc­ tion in other parts of the country and are being rap­ idly accepted by consumers. They taste good; are just as nutritious as milk. They are cheaper, ranging from 100 to 200 per half gallon which leaves acceptable profit for the grocer. In Chicago a good tasting milk is available, perhaps as a special, tor 90 a quart. It is reported that all major dairy processors a 1 ready have on hand printed cartons to supply imita­ tion milk. Each seems anxious not to start, but each seems just as anxious to protect himself if some other company introduces the new product. Two imitations use limited milk products; the third is made entirely of soybeans. The farmer is worried he will suddenly be produc­ ing milk which he cannot sell profitably. Those who work with dairy farmers take varying positions. Glynn McBride, MSU Ag economist, says that the university is aware of the problem and is anxious to supply facts which will help farmers, producers, re­ tailers and consumers reach the wisest decision in the situation. The Michigan Department of Agriculture is also alert to the problem and is willing to help everyone by supplying information. Neither institution takes a stand mat imitation milk is a good or bad thing for the consumer. Farm groups are cautious. They remember the sad lesson they learned in their fight to outlaw the use of colored margarine. They understand they cannot keep a substitute milk off the market simply to protect their own interests. Leaders agree that laws can no longer force con­ sumers to buy products in forms farmers want to sell, and that farmers must find ways to market milk in forms the consumer needs and wants. Jack Barnes, general manager of Michigan Milk Producers, says that MMPA does view imitation milk as a serious threat, but is not pushing a panic button. It views the change as a challange to find new uses for milk and milk products. Dan Reed, secretary-manager of the Michigan Farm Bureau, says that this group will not seek to outlaw any healthful, nutritious product, even though it threatens the farmer's market. Instead, it will work with farmers to help them make this chal­ lenge into an opportunity for new uses for milk. Positive direction is taken by the American Dairy Association of Michigan. ADA is seeking a farmer vote which will make mandatory a 40 per hundred­ weight charge to the farmer. This would be a change from the present 20 which is voluntary. Funds will be used for research to help develop new prod­ ucts which use milk and to promote the use of these products by consumers. The campaign itself is a gigantic undertaking. ADA shows farmers a film to dramatize the need for their support. Unfortunately, it paints such a gloomy picture that some farmers are reported to just give up and sell their herds. There is also the question of legality. Authori­ ties do not want to say that such a proposal, even if endorsed by a high percentage of farmers, could be enforced if a dairyman refused to pay his 4<5k ADA holds out hope. Boyd Rice, manager of the ADA of Michigan, takes the strong position that re­ search can develop enough new products to utilize all the milk which can be produced. The effort will also require changes in laws, some of which were supported by dairy people in their own inter­ ests but which now art to their detriment. And it is vitally important too, thinks Rice, to advertise and promote the new products he hopes can be de­ veloped. As examples he points to the rapidly increasing consumption of yogurt in California and New York, stating that when a tasty product is called to pub­ lic attention, a market can be developed. He also points to a 40^ butterfat--margarine product which is marketed experimently. It can be sold below the present price of more expensive margarine and cuts into those sales. It does not af­ fect regular butter sales. There are other ideas which merit research. "If farmers don't tell people about milk and dairy products," Rice warns, "no one else wilL ' Ample reason for farmer uneasiness seems justi­ fied. He is faced with a very real threat to his livelihood. Imitation milk, be it based on soy­ bean. sodium caseinate or a "filled-milk” formu­ la, is almost certain to raise hob with his present market. While the problem offers a challenge to bigger things, these are potentials rather than realities. The farmer is worried about what will happen to him while the changes take place. He is worried that be or some of bis friends will suffer in the meantime. Add to this the thought that he must double the dollars he pays to promote dairy products, and one can easily sympathize with his position. No one, however, can evade the conclusion that big changes ate coming fast in dairy marketing and no matter who gets hurt, the consumer is king. And it is the consumer who will probably benefit the most. NEW PROBLEM Snowmobiling, Michigan's newest winter sport, has growth pains similar to those suffered by the boating industry a few years ago. The burgeoning business has reached $150 million in national sales and Michigan will have nearly 75,000 units skim-, ming across the snow by the end of this winter. The exploding industry has also brought public concern over lack of regulations governing use o f the snow machines. Michigan State Police indicate they were flooded with complaints last year, the first season of popular snowmobiling in the southern part of the state. Lieutenant Bryce Grey said the complaints included driving on public highways; racing across pine plantations, breaking off tops of seedling pines which kills young trees; breaking fen­ ces to travel cross-country. Two other problems are recognized: the noise of the vehicle and its ability to reach isolated cottages, making them easy prey for burglary. Little has been done to regulate snowmobiling, although some state agencies recognize the growing problems and the need for control, A Department of Conservation spokesman pointed out that discus­ sions of the situation have resulted in few programs. The department wants to maximize the enjoyment of the sport but minimize public damage ana in­ convenience. It developed 18 snowmobile trails in the northern part of the state and is in the process of laying out trails in southern Michigan. Tne US Forest Service also has developed trails on Federal lands. Only two conservation laws currently apply to the sport. One prohibits hunting from the vehicles. The second limits vehicle travel in certain northern state areas. Lack of law limits police enforcement. State troopers have been instructed to ticket any snow­ mobile operating on a public highway for not hav­ ing license plates. If the vehicle owner figures some way to register his snowmobile and affixes plates, he will be ticketed for insufficient equipment: brakes, taillights, stop lights, etc. The Secretary of State also feels snowmobiles should be kept off public roads. James Palmer, leg­ islative agent for the office, says snowmobiles can­ not be licensed under present laws because they do not meet requirements of the safety vehicle code. Legislation which may be proposed should consider registration of the vehicles, minimum equipment standards, and mandatory safety inspection prior to use, Palmer suggests. Two bills currently under legislative considers tion provide for registering and defining snowmo­ biles but do not include operating restrictions. Recognizing the need for public control, the Michigan Snowmobile Association suggested legis­ lation and recently met with legislators and state agency personneL The association proposes that snowmobiles be prohibited from all public high­ ways; that a minimum operator's age be set; that the vehicles be registered with the state and carry visable registration numbers, and that other restric­ tions which normally apply to moving vehicles be considered. Marshall Sayles, publisher of the Michigan Snowmobiler, maintains that most snowmobile operators are responsible citizens, "usually family men. "He supports this contention by pointing to tne large in­ vestment required to purchase a snow machine and popular use of the vehicle for family sport. Sayles feels that violations do exist and that reg­ ulation is necessary if the sport is to continue i n popularity and gain public support. The future ofsnowmobiling may rest with con­ tinued development of public trails and growth of private snowmobile' resorts. Some of Michigan's summer "dude ranches" have already made plans to remain open as snowmobile lodges. These will operate similar to ski resorts, offering guests board, lodging, racing tracks and wilderness trails. Such attractions can do much to get snow­ mobiles out of populated areas, away from pine plantations and other restricted public lands.

Diane was an exchange student for the sum­ mer months through the "Youth for Understanding" program. Young men of Nashville and Vermontville voted last evening to organize a Jaycee chapter here. At a special meeting in the Youth Building, at­ tended by over 20 men, it was decided to complete organization plans for the new group immediately and start arrangements for affiliation with the state and the United States Jaycees. Other business conducted was the election of tem­ porary officers who will serve until formal elections take place sometime next month. Gary Foote was selected as temporary chairman. The new Jaycee chapter will meet next on Febru­ ary 19 at 7:00 p. m. at the Maple Valley high school Chairman Gary Foote issued an open invi­ tation to all young men to attend the meeting. Mr. Foote said: "we feel that every Nashville and Ver­ montville young man can benefit from membership with the Jaycees. It gives us a means of improving our community and ourselves."

Fem Mix 38c Grand Ledge Jaycees’ president, Don Cooley, con­ cluded the meeting with an outline of activities conducted by his chapter during the past year. Cool­ ey mentioned that his chapter completed over forty major projects; most of which were in the field of Youth Welfare and Community Development Telephone recorder used as job recru iting device The State Civil Service department is utilizing a telephone recorder for a unique new recruiting device dubbed the civil service "job hotline. " The "hotline" or "dial-a-job" number in Lansing (area code 517, 373 3051) will deliver a one and a half minute resume of jobs where state agencies re­ port current vacancies. The caller will then be giv­ en a chance to state his name and address to. re­ ceive applications for examinations in which he states an interest by return mail The "hotline” number will also be publicized in the department's help wanted advertising. State Personnel Director Franklin K. DeWald said the use of the telephone recording device was a­ dopted as an experiment as a result of a suggestion submitted by an employee in the State'e Suggestion Award Program. "We're not sure how successful this new service will be for the public or our recruiting program, but we felt it was worth a try, " he said. "For one thing, it's available on a day or night basis and can be consulted outside our regular working hours." Jobs listed on the first "hotline" recording this week included four positions in the Department of State Highways--Manual Worker, Highway Labor­ er, Student Highway Technician, and Aggregate Inspector; and positions in various state hospitals and institutions such as Housemother, Boys' Super­ visor, Attendant Nurse, Institution Worker, Prison Guard, and Practical Nurse. Others include State Police Trooper, Typist, and Stenographer.

The prices for grain are: com, $1. 50; wheat, $2. 00; soybeans, $3. 00. Other grains comparable. In meats, the prices are $22. 75 for bogs and $32. 50 for top cattle.

Free Clinics available The Barry county Health Department bolds a free immunization clinic for children in its offices in Pennock Hospital the first Monday each Month from 9-11 A. M. AU the required immunizations are available in­ cluding measles vaccine, and tuberculin skin tests are also available for the school caterers. If you wish the health department to Immunize your children before they start school, now is the time to start as several of these cannot be given at the same time, and the entire process takes up 3 months. The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these duties are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. Stanley H. Woods, of Deerfield, winner of MSU’s 1968 Award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture, was reelected president and several new directors were elected at Michigan Crop Improvement Association’s annual meeting at Gaylord, January 24-25th. The association is an official State Department of Agriculture certifying arid inspection agency for new and improved varieties of seed grown by many farmers in Michigan. Certified, improved varieties of seed grown by farmer members of the association are free from disease, have better winter hardiness, rapid recovery and greater yeilding capacity, according to Richard Chase and William Hall, MSU crop scientists. The association keeps the record of origin of the improved varieties on file and inspects each field prior to harvest. Many of the varieties in both the PotatoDivision and the Field Crop Division including beans, wheat, barley, oats and forages were developed at Michigan State University's Experiment Station. Directors elected or reelected for 1968 include: Seated (L to R): John Urka, Brethren; Steve Dobleski, Elmira (vice-pres., chairman of Potato Seed Division); Stanley Woods , Deerfield (pres., M.C.I.A.); Paul Leipprandt, Pigeon (vice-pres., chairman of Field Seeds Division); and Harold Williams, Rockford.

Breakings and enterings reported over weekend Nashville suffered from a rash of breaking and enterings over the past week-end. Sometime Friday night thieves broke into the Maple Valley High School building and did con­ siderable in the way of damage but got little in the way of loot. Entrance was gained by going over the roof of the building and dropping down into the court yard. An attempt was made to open the wall safe in the office of the schooL The dial of the combin­ ation lock was broken from the door and part of the wall in back of the safe was knocked out. Tools were taken from the school shop and were used to attempt the safe breaking but they were not removed from the schooL Secretary's desks were broken open and about $12 was taken from one. Apparently tired and hungry from their efforts to open the safe, the thieves took some cookies from the kitchen. A couple of windows and a clock were broken. The breaking was discovered by custodian Wayne Skedgetl when he checked in for work on Saturday morning. Maple Valley wins in overtime play Maple Valley won the game Friday night scoring 4 points in overtime to defeat Wayland, 58-56 in basketball It was the first league win for Maple Valley in six starts. Jun Gould sank the winning basket after being out of action for 4 weeks with a knee injury. Dave Smith led the .team by scoring 19 points. John Simon, proprieter of the Douse Drug Store, discovered his store had been broken into Sunday morning when he opened up for a few minutes to fill a prescription. Simon said the store was cold and he noticed the back door was open. Upon investigation he discovered the storm door had been broken and the back door of the store had been forced open. Missing is several dollars worth of drugs and some watches. Chamber members hear talk on Viet Nam Members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce heard a talk by Jim Casey and his wife Betty, at their lasvregular meeting of the Chamber Last Wednesday evening. The Caseys, both teachers at the W. K. Kellogg School in Hickory Comen, spent a year in Viet Nam where they were teach­ ing missioneries. Mr. Casey had many interesting comments to make on the war in that country and our part in it. Casey said he believes we are fighting the communist there to keep them from fighting us here in our own country. . While in Viet Nam the Casey's adopted a little Vietnamese girl who had been orphaned by the war. Representatives from Michigan Bell Telephone Company attended the meeting and reported that they thought a new building to nouse the Vermontville and Nashville exchanges should be in operation In about a year. The mentoetship committee reported 43 memben of the Chamber at present. Harold Christtiansen asked that all members try to get new members fat the organization. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Isabel and Bob Pfaff took off fot Florida on Thursday of last week. Jo and Hank Woudstra took off early Sunday morning for the same desti­ nation. This leaves Amy and me, the only regu­ lar members of the news staff on duty. Cheri Decker has agreed to come in and help out for the next couple of Weeks. It is real good to have her back. In the meantime Amy has come down with something and has been under the weather. Maybe we should move the entire operation to Florida. Sounds like a good idea. We have a copy of THE MODERN BOWLER, a publication dedicated to news about bowlers and nowling, and it has a nice picture of Louise Bahs who won $1, 000 in a ladies’ bowling meet. She led a field of 610 contestants for the honor, ac­ cording to the bowling paper. So, you see, sometimes even the good news filters out of our neighborhood and makes the big time. The paper came from Albert L. Herrick in De­ troit. Today a salesman came in looking for someone named Smith who is supposed to be working here at the News office. We explained to this sales­ man that no Smith had ever worked here so far as we knew, and certainly not within the last few years. This guy looked real puzzled and said he had recieved a note from someone named Smith at the Nashville News, asking him to drop in because he was real interested in buying a new press. The guy took the note out of his pocket and showed it to me and sure enough, it was on note paper saying the Nashville News and it was signed by a man named Smith. It was the News from Nashville, Illinois, though. Hope be gets his new press. This week of February 17-24, is National FFA Week and in recognition of this the local Future Farmers will attempt to focus attention on the importance of agriculture. Right at this time we are particularily interes­ ted m such activities. Despite the fact that we have increased our productivity in the field of agriculture greatly in the last few years, the pop­ ulation explosion and the need for food has gone far faster than the expansion of agriculture. If we can believe what is being said now by the experts, we are in for a famine in the very near future if something is not done immediately to produce even more and to do it faster. The world right now is not able to produce as much food as is being eaten. Part of the reason for the Chinese being willing to make a stand of sorts in Viet Nam is for the capacity of that part of the world to produce food. This ricebowl could be of great importance in the very near future as a food producing area. Even in the Amazon Valley, with its vast expanse of unused and even unexplored land, there is talk of the problems the area will en­ counter within the next few years when the pop­ ulation of the area becomes too great for its capacity to produce food. Yet right now the Amazon Valley has enough timber standing in its lush green jungles to make a three room bouse for every family in the world and then have wood left over. It is said, right now, that the land in the Amazon Valley could produce enough food to feed the entire world. That is today. Right now the experts fear that within twenty to thirty years the vast lush sure of Amazonia will be so crowded that it will not be able to produce enough to feed in own people let alone the rest of the world. In view of these facts we am see how really important agriculture is today and how much more important ft will be in the future. Right now, it is said the U. S. food surpluses have melted away. Farming is becoming more and more important to the whole well being of our nation and the world.

They are not like the other guppies we have had in the past. In the first place they look different. They are much more colorful • and they appear to spend a lot of their time just thinking and talking to each ocher in guppy talk. The strangest thing about them though, is that one of the mother-types had a baby. Most mother guppies have a whole slug ofthe little fellows. This one. though, had just one baby.

We did the best we could, honest we did. tetter To The Editor Dear Editor; There is an issue of major importance before the American Farmers at this time. A challenge whether we are mice or men. If the medium sized Farm (The Family Farm) is to survive we must stand up and be counted. The National Farmers Organization (N. F. O. ) has a program, the only one of its kind to help the farmer. We have dumped our milk, sold cows and now the grain and meat holding action. Now Mr. Farmer, these actions are designed fot you. They are honest, just and reasonable. But you and your production are needed, leu face it all Farmers are needed if we are ever to get a reasonable income and maintain the necessary incentative to keep at least pan. of our boys on the farm. Don’t wait to be contacted-call a member-any member will beat a path to your door. Join up now and hold your production, be one of us. Thank you very much ' Albert M.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1968 'Phona 543-3750 �Elementary games played CAN LAWS HELP? Can riots be controlled? If new riot-control laws could do it, Michigan could be free from uprisings. The truth of the matter: laws can be passed more easily than they can be implemented and enforced. Twenty-seven bills have already been introduced in the current legislative session to deal with riot­ ers. These proposals would; Make it a felony to interfere with a fireman in performance of duties. Consider a person killed by a mob the same as one who was lynched, holding people in the mob equally guilty of first degree murder. Classify as a felony any attempt to obstruct or resist police, abuse or molest militiamen in riot area. Carry penalties for failure to disperse from a mob when ordered or to refuse to help in suppress­ ing a riot. Make participation in a riot punishable by a minimum five-year sentence. Prescribe conditions under which police may stop, question and detain for two hours. Stiffen penalties for attempting to escape while under arrest. Describe circumstances under which "suspicious" persons can be searched. Broaden sections of law dealing with explosives. Increase penalties for attempted murder, assault, entering without breaking, malicious burning, in­ tent to maim or disfigure, rob and steal while un­ armed. Many crimes, formerly considered "misdemean­ ors, " are classified as felonies under the proposals. Conviction of a felony carries a sentence of more than a year. If voted into law, these proposals must be im­ plemented and enforced. This may prove difficult. There simply are not enough police, courts and jails to quell rioting through legislation alone. If ‘ the people of our state do not support law and or­ der because they believe it is the right thing, leg­ islative action has little value. DANGEROUS EFFECT An increase in hit and run accidents may result from the new implied consent law which requires driven to submit to a chemical test for alcohol level or lose their licenses. This is the worry of traffic safety officials. Detroit police report a higher-than-average number of such accidents in the last two months of 1967. A study of records for the whole state is underway. The situation becomes more difficult when you realize that conviction for hit and run in minor accidents often carries less penalty than drunken driving. The test seems to work. In the first two months after it became law, it was given to 1,384 driven. We do our best to serve you in the finest manner. VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Nathville CALL OL3-2612 or CL9-8966 Vermontville Give ut a call — ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM SHERWIN-WILLIAMS • BROADLOOM CARPET • CERAMIC TILE • JEWEL COLORIZER PAINTS Of these, 996 showed blood alcohol levels above the J5% allowed under law. Five were unable to take the test because of physical conditions, one was found to be under the influence of barbituates, and 149 refused to take the test at alL Serious problems exist in dealing with those who appeal conviction of drunken driving. Secretary of State James M. Hare, whose office is charged with handling these convictions, asked for $60,000 to finance the operation. The legislature did not appropriate the sum, apparently concluding the office should use previously appropriated funds. Hare considers his staff is handling an " Impos- sible situation "in dealing with these cases. A backlog of 160 cases has already built up because of a shortage of help and equipment. The problem is more severe because of a ruling by Attorney General Frank Kelley that the procedure must be the same as in a court and the same, complete records must be kept.

Approved Singer Dealer Sales & Service At the beginning of the second semester each of the World History classes at Maple Valley High School were divided into different committees. The committees are the room, publicity, curri­ culum and current event committees. Their duties are as follows: room committee takes roll, helps keep discipline, and keeps the ' room heat; the publicity committees job is to write up what the class does ouring the week and submit it to the Valley Visions and the Nashville News; the bulletin board committee has the job of keep­ ing the room decorated; the curriculum committee has the duty of finding information about the period in history the class is studing at the time in addition to what's in their books, and the current event committee makes sure everybodv elves his or hers current event when it's due and to keep the class informed on important world happenings. Each history class has picked periods in history to expand their studies on. First hour has chosen World War II; fifth hour has chosen World War I; and sixth hour has chosen the Russian Revolution and the use of the Germanic States. Each person in each class has chosen an individual subject to write upon that has to do with their classes main subject. For each person's six weeks report he or she has chosen a book to read that has to do with some time in history. Reports will be given on these books. The curriculum committee has been working with the Nashville, Vermontville and school libra­ ries to gain more information on the areas the classes are studing.

Dr. Paul Chien has consented to do a column for us every-now-and-again, and this week is just by way of an introduction to Paul. Dr. Chien is in close contact with things in the Orient and has an insight not only in international affairs but is a student of the American scene. I'ni sure his comments will be of interest to every­ one. Just by way of explanation--Should anyone see me jogging down the street at night or early in the morning, don't think I am running from the gang with the tar and feathers. Fact of the case is, I am on an exercise kick and am doing a bit of jogging each day. On second thought, don’t look for me early in the morning, I just don't make a habit of turning out too early. We have a letter from Ken Beardslee, of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club. The letter appears in this issue of the News. ken is inviting boys to enroll in a baseball camp to be beta on the campus of Northwood Ins­ titute. The Northwood campus is one of the most beautiful I have seen and it would be particularly nice to be there in the summer. For those who want more information, Ken has sent a number of brochures which we have here at the News office. They are free for the asking. One nice thing about the people who go to Florida and leave the rest of us up here to fight the weather and Voloome the robins, is that they do send letters and post cards occasionally to let us know how nice things are in the sunny south. We have had cards from the Pfaffs and from the Woudstras. They say things are just fine down there and that the golf is wonderfuL Each year Frank Kellogg sends us a Gasparilia and Florida State edition of the Tampa Tribune. It came the other day and I am still going through it. It takes me a while to get all the way through the paper. I take some time drool­ ing over that lush Florida life. Anyway, we would like to thank Frank Kellogg and all of our other friends who are in Florida for the winter. Keep those cards and letters coming. They tend to make us forget the icy . cold of the tundra. The weather is still a bit on the coldish side but spring is just four weeks away. The sun is out earlier in the morning and it sets just a bit later in the evening. The buckets are nung on the trees. The people down at the sugar shack are getting things ready for the run. If winds of winter blow, can spring be far behind: We hope not. There is much talk lately about the new "arti­ ficial milk" which is being marketed in some parts of our country and seems to be catching on. I hope the farmers and the dairy industry have learned from past experience that they cannot hope to long legislate this product out of existence The horse and buggy industry was instrumental in having laws passed restraining the iron horse, and then the automobile. They did not keep either form of transportation from developing, but they tried. The gas industry tried to legislate against the early electric power companies because they rep­ resented a threat to the gas lighting industry. Down through the years industries have tried to legislate others out of business. Seldom have they succeeded, particularly when there is big money involved. The best way to fight is to get aggressive, find new uses for your product or point up the advan­ tages of it. National Wildlife Week, March 17-23, will be recognized in several of the State Parks and Rec­ reation Areas in Southern Michigan. At the Yankee Springs Recreation Area near Hastings, the following special interpretive pro­ grams will be offered the public with all activities starting at the Gun Lake Campground parking area: On March 16 there will be a guided hike at 10 am and an Auto Tour at 1:30 pm. On March 17 there will be a guided hike at 1:30 pm and an Auto Tour at 3:30 pm. On March 23 there will be a guided hike at 10 am and an Auto Tour at 1:30 pm. On March 24 there will be a guided hike at 1:30 pm and an Auto Tour at 3:30 pm. What does the Chamber of Commerce do for the Village? Letter To The Editor Though we now reside in Ypsilanti, I attended the Vermontville school system and spent some 25 years in the area. It has always been a good baseball area, and for that reason I thought I would enclose a brochure on a project which North­ wood Institute in Midland will be hosting this sum­ mer. The college requested that I staff it for them with Pirate instructors and head the staff which I will be doing. I feel that it is a fine school for boys with some baseball ability. The facilities are great, and the college campus is just wonder­ ful m summer. This is the only camp of its kind in the Mid-west and L feel the camp will be filled early. I would suggest any lad interested in attending, apply for entry at once. Would appreciate your running a little informa­ tion on this if you would be so kind. Would hope that we might have a few boys enrolled from the Nashville-Vermontville area. Thank you ever so much. Ken Beardslee Pittsburgh Pirates Scouting Dept. Pittsburgh, Pa.

That seems to be a question that is plaguing some of the various members and our Secretary lately. In the last few years we have grown from a near membership of eight to a paid up membership of forty-seven this year of 1968. We are a busv and active group, which meets once a month for lively discussions on various problems, carry out many worth-while projects and have very, interesting and informative meet­ ings. If anyone is in doubt of this, we challenge you to attend one of our meetings and see. We meet the second Wednesday in each month at 7:00 p. m. at the V. F. W. Hall. Just notify the Secre­ tary or the President, if you would like to attend. Some of our various accomplishments are as follows: Assisted with all of the Michigan Week and Mayor Exchange Days, assisted ana contributed to the firemen in carrying out the Homecomings and Free Barbeques, Published Tourist Books and Brochures, led Travel Trailer Caravan, sponsored a Circus, sponsorc-Bank Night, sponsored the Harlem Stan Basketball Game (netting money foe the school), donated to the Boy ScouU^sponsored zoning information and pushed its formation, con­ tributed money to help induce The Baby Bliss, Inc. to come into Nashville, sponsored our new Post Office dedication, helped Little Leagurers, spon­ sored Buck Barry's appearance and bought around $500. 00 worth of new beautiful Christmas lighting fixtures, plus putting on the Christmas drawings, programs parties, parades, etc. These are a few of our accomplishments. Our greatest need is for more active and perhaps a few younger members to put fresh blood, energy, and ideas into our club. One of our most interested members (if not the youngest) is Mrs. Mary Holman. She is a great inspiration to all of us with her interest and active attendance. We need you I Contact any one of us?

GEORGE VOGT-PRESIDENT GENEVA BRUMM-SECRETARY Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Patil P. Chien Publishing Agency Who am I? Recently I had a heart-to-heart discussion with a very respected, highly intellectural, liberal thinking educator concerning the Vietnam situa­ tion. At the beginning of the discussion, the first remark he made was, "You ultra-conservatives do not really understand the Asian situation. " I apologized for my humble background, for as a Chinese, I am not able to objectively look at the Asian situation without becoming emotionally involved. However, I still stated my basic belief that the neutralization of Southeast Asia as being impossible at the present time. To discuss neutral­ ization in Vietnam is no different than trying to discuss the morality of human equality under the eyes of God with former governor George Wallace. When I finished this statement, my friend asked me, "How could you make this statement on racial equality and still be a conservative?" His comment rather startled me for a moment and threw me into a dilemma which almost con­ fused myself to question my own political affilia­ tions, my basic philosophy, my religious belief and my personal integrity. • Who am I? I am an American with Chinese ori­ gin. I spent twenty yean in China and twenty yean in the United States. I believe in an individual's freedom without jeopardizing society's safety. I believe in governmental responsibility to citizens, safety and welfare, but I dislike the government's "big brother attitude" of interference in all my ac­ tivities. I believe in religious worship, but I do not prosecute those who miss Sunday school ses­ sions. I strongly believe that the Chinese Commun­ ists and their government does not represent the will of the Ctunese people. But I'm not eagerly agreeing with George Wallace on racial discrim­ ination. The reason for my naturalization in this country is because I believe this is the land of the free where each individual can have his freedom, lib­ erty and the right to pursue his happiness.. However, today if we try to examine dur society, violence and lawlessness are protected under the name of liberty and freedom. The murder and ad­ vocates of atrocity and war are under the same flag of liberty and freedom. We have so many ig­ norant uneducated individuals who advocate vio­ lence and prefer the laboring of each individual either conservative or liberal, Bircher or commun­ ist, without sufficient evidence. If society per­ mits these people to jeopardize the individual's freedom and liberty, then we are not different than the Germans in the 1930's, Stalin in the 1940's and Mao-Tseng Tung in the 1950’s with their benchmen labeling individuals with their affilia­ tions. This is the land of opportunity, the land of free thinking. We permitted Albert Einstein to quietly survive in this land to do research work. We per­ mitted Dr. Von Braum to achieve his dream of reaching the moon. This is the land of the free for many political refugees. If any indiv iduab were to travel around this world, vbit different nations, I think he would not be able to find very many lands that have the privileges and freedom we have. However, bow to preserve it and maintain it, I think, depends upon how we are able to decentral­ ize the black power groups and quit publishing ultra-conservative bate literature. I think the mass media industries should encourage individu­ als to experience their personal beliefs and con­ victions without liberating them. I also believe that we who work in the mass media industry should ask ourselves where are we. How can we have the right to create an individual's image without questioning their real ability, sincerity, and integrity such as illustrated in tne unhappy incident of the 1964 presidential election. I think, as an individual, we should consider the question "Who are we?" We are Americans. We are God’s children. We have freedom, liberty and the right to pursue hap­ piness. We have the right to choose. Tne right to reject. We are not afraid to make a change. We have the right to admit we are wrong. We have the right to defend ourselves against abasements and laboring. We have the right to be left alone. I am grateful for this gentleman's question con­ cerning my awkward situation of a confused conser­ vative, because hi* question offered me an oppor­ tunity to ask. "Who am I?" I am an American. Therefore, I have the right to think individually and to make choices freely and to cast my ballot independently.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29. 1968 �■NOAOBD To discuss juvenile problems One hundred fifty school, juvenile court and law enforcing personel from the eight county region surrounding Kalamazoo will meet to discuss their mutual problems at an all day conference scheduled for 9 a. m, March 1, 1968, at the Western Michifan University Student Center in Kalamazoo, ponsored by Children's Charter of the Courts of Michigan, me.', the meeting is the first of a state­ wide series planned to help these groups better understand, and better cooperate with, each other in the prevention of juvenile delinquency and the rehabilitation of those who already show delinquent tendencies. School, law enforcement, and juvenile court people are being brought together so that they may identify and discuss areas where relationships are a problem and find out how others are meeting these problems. It is hoped each county 'will follow up with similar conferences of its own to which all interested people can be invited. Conference chairman Eugene S. Thomas, Depu­ ty Educational Director of Children's Charter and former pricipal of Kalamazoo Central High School, has announced the following topics for speakers and for afternoon discussion groups. Free Clinics available The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this , spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the aeries. The Barry county Health Department bolds a free immunization clinic for children in its offices in Pennock Hospital the first Monday each Month from 9-11 A. M. All the required immunization* are available in­ cluding measles vaccine, and tuberculin skin tests are also available for the school enterers. If you wish the health department to immunize your children before they start school, now is the time to start as several of these cannot be given at the same time, and the entire process take* up 3 months. Douglas Frazier employed by Police Department Douglas Frazier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Frazier of Rt. 2, Nashville, has been employed by the Norfolk, Virginia, Police Department since January 2nd. To become a policeman Frazier had to pass a series of nine tests, pass a physical examination, and be interviewed by members of the Police Board.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1M8 Nashville �Students observe FFA Week vocational agriculture students in Maple Valley High School joined Future Farmers of America members throughout the nation in activities to focus attention on the importance of agriculture during National FFA Week, February 17-24. "Challenging Youth in Agriculture" was this year's FFA Week Seme. The message that these young agriculturists are trying to impart to the nation is simple. They seek to inform the public of the im­ portance of the agricultural industry to America and to the world, the value of good citizenship development, and the role of Future Farmers of America in helping meet the challenges in world food production that faces America today. "Because of the many predictions of world hunger in the future, many people have stopped listening," World History Class Mr. Leon Homier film strips along with .records, about the Nation of Today. We have viewed England. France, and the Soviet Union. This will help us prepare for our individual re­ ports that we plan to give next week. We have studied and discussed in our text book about the French Revolution and Bismark and the rise of the Germanic States.

For the past seven years, our world has not been able to grow as much food as it has eaten. And, finally, the bottomless U. S. surpluses have melted away. * "Let us also point out," he added, "that it is es­ timated that toe world as a whole will need 50 per­ cent more food just two decades from now. Meet­ ing these challenges will be in the hands of young agriculturists being trained and developed in such an organization as the FFA. " Membership in the FFA is made up of students of vocational agriculture in high school. The organi­ zation's activities are designed to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship and to stimulate the students to better achievement in their study and work toward successful establishment in farm­ ing and other agricultural occupations. The Maple Valley FFA Chapter has 52 members. Officers are: Pres. - Allen Decker, Vice Pres. -Jeff Byington, Treas. -Harry Cotton, Sec. -Mike Root, Sent. -Ken Teroening, and Reporter-Dave Friddlc. The national FFA organization has approximately 450, 000 members, with 9,000 local chapters in the 50 states and Puerto Rico. The week of George Washington's Birthday is chosen each year for the observance of National FFA Week.

By Linda Derby Michigan State University Do you know how a state wide open housing law would affect you? An open housing bill is before the state legisla­ ture again this session and if it passes, everyone in Michigan could be touched by it: in one way or another. Essentially the bill is designed to ban discrimin­ ation in real estate transactions on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. Any person, group, or business seeking to sell or rent property would be banned from discrimination. However, there are five exemptions. 1. If you rent half of a duplex while you live in the other half. 2. If you rent rooms in your home. 3. If you sell or rent a dwelling without publicly advertising. 4. A religious group may give preference to members of the same religion in property transactions, if the property is to be used for religious charitable, or educational purposes and discrimination is not based upon race, color or national origin. 5. Rental of housing for less than a year. The bill defines several discrimination practices. Except for the five exemptions, you could not refuse to negotiate a real extate transaction with a person or discriminate in the terms or conditions of that transaction. You couldn’t refuse or, in the case of a real es­ tate agency, refuse to transmit an offer given by anyone interested in the dwelling. The bill coven financial assistance, maintenance and improvement of the property too. Retaliation for complaints of discrimination is prohibited in the bill. WHY IS THIS SPRING AIR BLUE CLOUD MORNINGDALE YOUR BEST MATTRESS BUY? The prime responsibility for carrying out the pro­ visions of this bill is placed in the State Civil Rights Commission (CRC). However, the bill encourages local governments to adopt open housing ordinances, so you could take a complaint to your local civil rights commis­ sion instead. The Circuit Court is the third place you could go if you had a discrimination complaint. You could go to only one of these agencies though, and not two or all three of them. If you want to pursue a discrimination claim with the CRC, you would have to file a written complaint, under oath within 90 days after the incident. The complaint must show that you were trying to com­ plete a real estate transaction in good faith. After that, the CRC investigates the charges and may by court consent, investigate the property. On the basis of this first investigation, the CRC may decide that the complaint is unjustified and order it dismissed. But if there is justification for the complaint, the commission tries to bring the two parties to agreement through its power of con­ ciliation and persuasion. If this does not settle the case, the CRC might petition the Circuit Court to get a temporary halt in discrimination and proceed with a formal hearing under therules of the CRC. The defendant would have to appear, with or without legal counsel and the attorney general would represent the complainant and CRC staff member who donducted the investi­ gation. If the verdict of the hearing were that an act of discrimination had occurred, the defendant would be ordered to cease, and or again offer his property for sale, lease, rental, or subrental, which over the case envolved. In addition, the CRC could petition the Circuit Court to order damages payed to the victim of discrimination. If the defendant is an individual, the fine could not exceed $500. If the defendant is a real estate brokerage, or financial company the fine would be $1, 000 for each violation and $2, 000 if it were a violation of a previous commission order. The defendant could appeal for reconsideration by the CRC within 15 days after the verdict was reached. This is the procedure for the CRC as proposed in the state bill currently before the legislature. Many city open housing ordinances are carried out in a similar manner. Lansing and East Lansing are two examples. Elementary tournaments The Elementary Basketball Tournament will be held beginning Saturday March 2 with the semi­ finals.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1968 NUMBER 41 Sewage vote included in Monday’s election Vermontville officials are hoping for a good turnout of the 243 votes at the spring election Monday. For in addition to electing officers for the coming year the voters who are property tax­ payers will vote on borrowing $100, 000 and issu­ ing general obligation bonds for the purpose of paying part of the cost of a new sanitary sewer system. The estimated cost for the complete system has been set at $458, 000. This will cover the con­ struction of a sanitary sewer system including trunk and lateral sanitary sewers, force mains, proper pumping stations, lift stations and oxidation ponds, together with necessary appurtenances and attachments. The balance of the cost will be taken care of from the proceeds of the sale of revenue bonds, and from a federal grant, if one . is received altho the: hope of such igrant is dim at the present time. Back in February 1966 the village received its first notice from the Water Resources Commission that something must be done concerning the con­ tamination of the Thornapple river from raw sew­ age being dumped into the river. An engineering company was called in and a concerted study was started. The study showed that due to the kind of soil in the area a lagoon system seemed to best suit the needs. The necessary land purchase was made, along with a right-of-way. In June, 1967, a second notice was received from the Water Resources Commission and in October, 1967, came: a final order from the commission. The village was requested to submit plans and specifications for sewers to the Director of the Department of Public Health for approval by June 1, 1968, and that by January 1, 1969, construction contracts be awarded and construction started. The plant is to be completed and in operation by April 1, 1970. If the proposition.is passed Monday the work will progress as rapidly as possible. If the proposition is rejected it will only delay the pro­ ject, and meanwhile the costs are most likely to increase, in view of the general trend of the nation. The annual village election will also be held at this time. • Those on the Republican ticket include: Vernon Trowbridge as President, Leu Nagle as Clerk, Kathleen Marsh as Treasurer, ano Kenyon Peabody, LaVance Aldrich, and Charles Viele as Trustees, Esther Dunham asiAssessor. On the Democratic ticket there is only one per­ son running and this is Anne Samann for the post of Trustee. Serving on Monday's election board are Mrs. Agatha Marcum, Mrs. Dorothy Thrun, Mrs. Doris Benton and Ernest Marcum. Nashville voters will go to the polls next Mon­ day to elect a president, clerk, treasurer and assessor, as well as three trustees. Since only one party (Republican) submitted a slate for the election there will be no opposition Members of the newly formed Ambulance Service stand in front of the ambulance; Norman Sandbrook, Blair Hawblitz, Otto Dahm, Russell K. Mead, Wm. Schantz, Forrest Babcock, and Wes Erwin. to the candidates on that ticket. Harold Christiansen is running for the office of president. Harold has been active in the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and has served for the past two years as the president of the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. James Rizor who has served the village as Presi­ dent did not want to run again. Incumbant Ada Skedgell. is running for the office of president. Harold has been active in the Incumbent Ada Skedgell, is running for the office of Clerk, and Marguerite Wilson (incumbent) is running for the office of Treasurer. Both of these ladies have held office for a number of terms. Justin W. Cooley is running for the office of Assessor. Carl Tuttle, who held the office of Assessor for a number of years chose not to run again. Frank Scramlin and Henry Fedewa, both incum­ bents are running for Trustee and Ben Kenyon is running for the same office. Dr. Chien wi Il address group As another public service, the Nashville Evange­ lical United Brethren Church will have Dr. Paul P. Chien speak in the church parlors on Sunday evening, March 17, at 7:30. Dr. Chien's general topic will be prejudice. Dr. Chien was born in Shanghai, China, and received his Bachelor of Science degree from TaTong University. Since coming to America, he studied at Detroit University and Michigan State University. His doctorate is in law. He has had wide experiences as college professor, publisher, accountant, financial management consultant, and lecturer. (His columns are now carried in this newspaper). He is now director of the Northwood Institute School of Banking and Finance in Midland, Michigan. Dr. Chien recently toured the Far East and Europe, visiting the U. S. Overseas Information Offices and the beads of many nations. Dr. Chien has become a United States citizen and feels that ■ this country has been very good to him and his family. He comes, therefore, not with a bitter­ ness about prejudice, but with a concern about the prejudice he has found in his native China and throughout the world. • DR, PAUL CHIEN Pastor Varner emphasizes that this is a public service and invites clubs, schools, and individuals to hear this outstanding speaker. Giris compete for Syrup Festival Queen Five girls will compete for the honor of repre­ senting Vermontville as the queen of the Syrup Festival this year.

Break-in reported Bon West, manager of the Nashville Co-op Ele­ vator, stated that the Elevator was broken into sometime Sunday night or Monday morning of this week. Mr. West said that entry was obtained through the front door of the Elevator. It appears that the lock was slipped in some manner. About $8. 00 in silver was taken however the attempt to get into the inner portion of the safe was not successful although a great deal of damage was done to the door. Nashville Police Chief Don Langham said the matter was under the investigation of the State Police. �"AS I SEE IT” Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency The Pueblo incident has shocked the world. This sense of shock is especially evident in the United States. This state of shock is due largely to a lack of experience in international affairs. We have been misinformed, or at least ill-inform­ ed, by our own government concerning the basic communistic strategy in International conquest. If we are to serve as international policemen, then we must understand the possibilities of a second, third, fourth front, and perhaps many more. We thought in the past that a Korean truce would insure world peace. We neglected to consider the Indo-Cnina situation. The Pueblo case is just one indication of the problem. At any moment the situation in Cam­ bodia could deteriorate, the North Laotian problem could become worse, the Thai border incidents could start in again, the Indian-Pakistan truce could be broken, the internal unrest in Indonesia could erupt, the Japanese internal leftest could be revitalized. It would be naive to think that the situation in Vietnam and the Pueblo incident have no relation­ ship to each other. It is too idealistic of Asia. Historically the Chinese have not always been welcomed by other Asian nations. However, when these people are unhappy with their own governments, when they are suppressed and pov­ erty stricken by corruption, these people are will­ ing to accept tne leadership and guidance of the Chinese Reds. Many western observers believe the recent Red Guard movement served to slow the activities of the Chinese in Vietnam and Korea. I believe time is running out though, and we cannot pin our hopes on this type of internal overthrow. The Chinese hierarchy met a few months ago and disposed of Madam Mao. They had her committed to a mental hospital and the reasoning they gave rwas that she was overworked and had suffered mental exhaustion. Now Mao's 4th wife is in a mental sanitarium in Peking. Apparently the Chinese nation is willing to for­ give Chairman Mao's emotional instability which has been evident and which has made a shambles of the Chinese political, military and social structure during the past eighteen months. The military clique is again in command in China and the most arrogant diplomat. Chou-enLai, is in command again. These facts have convinced me that the Chinese Communists will again move to regain interna­ tional prestige for China and to unify her internal factions. Now is the time for us to serve notice to the Chinese Communist leaders that these violent activities will not help their future international image, and that nuclear power in the Fai East will not serve to regain their Asian dictatorship. BACKSTREET BAROMETER The sap is running. At least there is a couple of inches in the bottom of the bucket* on our tree*. Springtime must be on the way. Some of the Florida folks have returned and they say it has been cold down there this year. Talk like this makes us poor folk* who were forced to stay here feel better. Hank Woudstra said it was so cold one day that he couldn't enjoy the . golf game. Both communities are holding elections next Monday and there will be a school millage vote on March 18. In Nashville the election will just be of village officers and since there is only one party running there probably will not be a great deal of interest. In Vermontville thought, there is the little matter of a sewage problem that must be considered. Pogo, a comic strip character in the Enquirer and News has been taking a little poke at our governor every now and again. If he did nothing more with his campaign the governor did let people know that there is sucn a place as Michigan. The local fire ladies have been called out a food many times in the past week, and so far as know all of the calls were to grass fire*. Mott of these fire* are caused by careless burning of trash and brush. These fires are ex­ pensive to the department, and they could be prevented by just a bit of care. The crooks seem to have an eye on our town. In the past few weeks we have had a rash of break­ ing and entering*. The latest is the one at the Co-op Elevator. Plycoma Veneer now employing 68 persons Girl Scout News Watch for the Brownies on TV Thursday at 5:00 on Channel 6. About 60 girls from Vermontville* four Scout troops. Brownies, Juniors, and Cadets attended the Charm School session held in Charlotte at the Congregational Church basement last Satur­ day along with other troops from the area. It was a fun filled day with .instruction and pointers given on everything from hair, figure, cloths, skin, and manners. The day was broken up with song-fests and nose-bag lunches at noon time. Next week only Junior & Cadets will attend for more schooling, check your instruction sheets for items you are to bring tnat day. Girl Scout Week begins Sunday March 10th and all Scouts are asked to attend the church of their choice on that day with the leaders, wearing uni­ forms if they have one. On TV the advertisement for Boy Scouts says "Scouting rounds a gu, out”. As one Girl Scout leader once said, ” It's not what we can do for the girl, but what we can do for the woman inside her" This might be a good slogan for us, the years a girl spends in scouting truly does make a better woman out of her, years later.

Continually the company ha* been able to make improvement* in its equipment. This is largely due to having among it* personnel tome very ingenious men capable ofdeveloping other-wise expensive piece* of machinery if they had to be purchased from the manufacturer. In fact, tome piece* used at the plant are one man's idea* and are original with him. This man is Ronald Gank. Included among hi* latest innovations is a para­ llel saw jointer he developed for use in the splic­ ing department. Since this it his original idea it is the only such machine in use anywhere and speeds up the splicing, and make* inspection and repair easier. This was put into use last November. Now he is working on plan* for an even bigger "double guillotine" type jointer. He has also developed a new "trim »aw" for the plywood department. This will be in use in about two months. Still another device Gank hat devel­ oped it a new debarker for the veneer department. This is much larger and faster than the one pre­ viously used to peel the bark off the log*. More than two carload* of veneer are shipped out each month, along with a carload of plywood. Much is shipped to manufacturers of trailer* and kitchen cabinet* in Indiana. Other veneer goes to Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wiscon­ sin, Washington, Oregon and several points in Michigan. Several years ago a branch plant, for the mak­ ing of plywood core, was developed at Kalkaska. It was held by a group of stockholders, and known as the American Make Veneer Company. This past year the plant was purchased by Decowski, • Blake­ ly and Gank. A manager is in charge at Kalkaska, but the payroll and other office work is handled at the Nashvule plant. Behind the success of Plycoma lie* a story of dogged determination, bleak, black yean when the personnel could easily have given up in des­ pair. But they had vision and faith, were willing to put in long, tedious hours, and, if all goes well, the company will within the next few years, be able to command its proper place in a competitive business.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1968 WOODARD'S MOTH SERVICE Nashville Hot Lunch Menu Ph. OL3-6003 on your Dial �Farm Calendar fl School millage vote asks for additional funds A special election has been scheduled tor Mon­ day, March 18 for the purpose of voting on eight mills for operational purposes. This is a renewal of the five mills that expired with the December 1967 levy plus three mills to help cover increased operational costs. The millage will be voted for a period of two years covering 1968 and 1969. Additional funds would allow for expansion of existing programs plus adding new programs to the curriculum. The school district has been fortunate in having funds available to match state and fed­ eral programs in the areas of science, mathematics, history, commercial classes, shop classes, and English enabling the school district to purchase additional teaching materials and equipment. The Board of Education ended the past school year on June 30 with a general fund balance of S132, 397. 24. It is necessary for the district to end the year June 30 with a sizeable balance to meet summer payrolls plus summer operational and maintenance costs. A high percent of the teachers are on a twelve month pay basis meaning that the summer payroll is nearly as high as during the reg­ ular school year. The board of education plans to end this school year with a good balance, out some­ what less than last June 30. Unfortunately this year we have only received a small increase in state aid even though a state income tax was ap­ proved last spring wnich was to have given the schools additional operational funds. Our reimburse­ ment for transportation this year is less than last year, and the amount of reimbursement for reme­ dial reading has dropped greatly. This year's state aid act requires that a school district levy ten mills for full participation in state aid. Considering that we are allocated only eight mills through Barry county, it is necessary that we have extra operational millage allowing the school district to receive full state aid. It is now expected that die minimum levy for full part­ icipation in state aid next year will increase from ten to twelve mills. Absentee ballots may be obtained from Wallace Graham, Secretary Board of Education. His address is 504 S. Main Street, Nashville, Michigan, tele­ phone 653- 6951. Application for absentee ballots must be made not later than 2:00 p. m., Saturday, March 16.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1968 7 Charlotte, Mich �Telephone Company reports new directory assistance Beginning Monday, March 11, a new greeting from the operator will be heard by Vermontville telephone users to dial information. Instead of responding with tbe customary "Infor­ mation, " the operator will say, "Directory Assis­ tance. " The change, according to J. Herbert Cox, Michi­ gan Bell Telephone Company area manager, is being made to improve Information service by reducing requests for telephone numbers readuy available in tbe directory. Cox said the new greeting will serve to remind callers that the number they want is probably in their directory. On the average, about three out of every four calls to Information are for numbers listed in the directory, Cox said. "The time spent by an operator looking up and repeating telephone numbers already in the direc­ tory should by devoted to helping those people who -must call Information, " Cox said. "People, for instance, who can't read or see well, those who need new numbers not yet printed in the directory, those calling from a telephone where there might not be a directory, or those calling in an emer; gency." The 1968 directory is now being distributed. With the new procedure, callers wanting a number that is listed in the book will hear the operator say: "That number is listed in the new directory as------- , or, if the number is not listed but avail­ able,’ the operator will say: "This is a new number. Please make a note of it. The number is------- . " Cox said the continued high rate of telephone usage here and statewide in general is placing an overload on Information lines that are unnecessarily used to get telephone numbers listed in a directory. Distribute new directories Nationwide, Cox said, the daily number of calls to Information has increased in the last 10 years from 6 million to 12 million, a much greater percentage increase than that in ■■all telephone calls. Calls to Information have risen to the point where they constitute about 45 percent of all operator contacts with phone customers. Couple will observe wedding anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J.

By GLADYS RICHARDSON The fastest growth period of a baby is its first year. In some respects Baby Bliss Company branch plant at Nashville parallels that growth. Today 60 dozen various garments per day are made at the plant located on Nashville's Main street which necessiutes using 300 yards of mater­ ial and more than 9, 600 yards of thread. This more than doubles the output of a year ago. The parent plant is located at Middleville and the branch was opened here 1 1/2 years ago. It makes infant clothing of which 95 percent is for children not over a year old. When they first open­ ed here, they made one-piece stretch garments and two-piece terrycloth sleeping garments. Now they sew 14 different types of garments having added two-piece jump or play uniforms, six varieties of romper suits, crawlers and bibs, just to mention a few. When the company first set up operations theyroccupied c room 24 by 100 feet. Last July e they r openope ed a cutting room a<” ’-----the *•------sewing *---------room and the next tew months doubled their space. they will again double their entire area by opening the upstairs in the building. This will be used as the cutting room, and the 25 sewing machines, now stored across the street, will be installed. There will also be ample room for material storage up­ stairs, and a second office. Before the upper floor can be used the ceiling will be lowered, the walls painted, new florescent lighting installed, and an elevator will be installed which will go from the basement to the second floor. The basement will be used for die cutting machinery. Also on the agenda for this coming summer is the remodeling of tbe front of the building. Red brick will be used to modernize the front and new windows will be installed. A new entrance for both upper and lower offices will be constructed, and a new fire escape will be added upstairs. A new heat­ ing plant was installed this falL Heading up Baby Bliss is General Plant Manager Harold Mohawk and President and Sales Manager is Arthur Gunther. The Nashville plant manager is Richard Hansen who took over his duties here on May 21. Previously he had served 21 years in a wholesale shoe manufacturing plant in Holland.Mrs. Margaret Reid is supervisor at Nashville. Besides the main plant at Middleville where all packaging and shipping is handled, and the Nash­ ville plant, there is a sewing plant at Middleville and another plant at Grand Rapids where only dia­ per bags are manufactured. When Baby Bliss contemplated opening the Nash­ ville plant they took a detailed survey of available help in the area and found it to be adequate. When they install the 25 more sewing machines they an­ ticipate there will be no difficulty in procuring employees. Because it takes approximately six months to train a woman to operate the sewing ma­ chines, they will add only a’few at a time. Cur­ rently there are some 20 women employed, and the payroll runs $1,000 or more a week. When the Middleville plant was looking for a community in which to open a branch, the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce gave invaluable as­ sistance during the negotiating period. Baby Bliss purchased the Building, but, as a vote of confi­ dence. tbe Chamber pledged $2, 000 to the com­ pany to be paid at the rate of $500 a year over a four-year period. The plant has proved an asset to the village. Mr. Hansen is having machines for rolling and cutting trim materials and more cutting tables will be put in when the upstairs area is completed. Presently all of the employees come from the Vermontville, Hastings and Nashville areas. Ph. 543-4246 a Come in and let us straighten things out! WE GIVE COMPLETE CAR SERVICE (Time for Your Spring Tune Up) Babcock's 01 3-3401 Standard Stamping now in their 26th year Standard Sumping of Nashville is entering its 26th year and its orders for the year have been con­ tracted. However, because of the nature of its or­ ders, many for automobile operations, and the cur­ rent strike problems it can hardly be expected to do more than * bold its own* this year. While small town plants do not immediately feel the squeeze of shut-downs in far-away cities, the backlash does eventually catch up, and it is quite possible no new orders will be com' ' this ‘ ' in year. Coupled also with the automotive i res is the fact that the steel contracts are up for negoti­ ation this coming summer. The Nashville plant, a subsidiary of the Wohlert Corp, cf Lansing, employs 20 persons, four of whom are women. The plant is in operation five days a week. Practically all of the employees are from the local area and many have worked tor the company ten years or more. During tbe past year a ”115 straight side double crank press* was moved into tbe plant. Its primary function is to pierce and trim disc brake shields for Olcbmobile, although it has other uses as well Over the yean the company has constantly adder new equipment to improve efficiency and step up production. More recently the firm added a line tor tbe Eaton Stamping plant of Eaton Rapids. The work includes pans for starters for internal combustion fractional horsepower engines. These parts are used at the Eaton Rapids plant in the manufacture of lawn mower motors for Sears, Roebuck &. Co. Equipment at Standard Sumping includes a high production press used for shaft piercing, a 250-ton straight side press, a 100-ton hi| ’-----*duction * ---------press, zand the automatic boxing mach. In addition to the automotive the plant pro­ duces a wide range of split steel ings and garden tractor parts. Richard Sheppard is plant manager. He began work at Standard Stamping in October 1961 and was named 1 manager in September 1963. In co * ' on this year’s----activities be said that while be a general trends throughout tbe country. So far as local labor problems are concerned, a three-year labor agreement was negotiated in June, 1967. While there has been some cut-back in employ­ ment over a year ago, he is optimistic in holding his men on tbe job. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7. 1968 �Discuss ambulance service When an Ambulance is needed call the Fire Number OL3-234L This is a rather simple state­ ment but in its making lies many hour* of work and many meetings by a group of dedicated people. Ours was not a unique problem as Ambulance Op­ erators all over the country began dropping out their services several months ago. The Barry County Board of Supervisors started working on this problem a long time ago. The Health Committee of the Board has traveled many miles and spent many days in workiM out details of the County program. Eventually Ambulance Service for the County was asked for on a compe­ titive bid basis. The bid involved five zones'in the county, ours being known as Zone No. 5 and included the Townships of Maple Grove, Castle­ ton which in turn included the Village of . Nash­ ville. A local organization known as the Castleton­ Maple Grove Ambulance Service was set up in order to present a bid to the County Board of Su­ pervisors. It was felt that service on a local basis should be set up if at all possible. The bid present­ ed to the Board by our local organization was the low bid for our Zone. The Bid was then accepted by the County Board on February 21st, 1968 and a contract with the local Board and the County was signed and went in effect on March 1st 1968 for a period of one year. The members of the new 5 man Ambulance Board are William Schantz, President; Otto DahmVice President; Russell K. Mead-Secretary and Treasurer; Blair Hawblitz-Trustee; Norman Sand­ brook-Trustee. This Board has already had several meetings in order to set up the details of Ambulance Service. The two Townships, acting through the Ambulance Board, have purchased the Ambulance formerly owned by George Vogt. It will be garaged at the Vogt garage until such time as other arrangements can be made. Sometime in the future the two Townships along with the village hope to be able to build a new Fire Barn, and then if need be room could be made available for the Ambulance in the new structure. A written agreement has been worked out with the members of the Fire Department as to the rules and regulation* for operating the Ambulance. A schedule has been set up whereby the Firemen will be taking a First Aid Course in'order to give better service as Ambulance Operators. They will then be issued First Aid card* and will be quali­ fied as Ambulance Attendants. Two of the men all ready have First Aid Cards and will be doing duty until such time as others can qualify. Additional Fire phones are being installed in order to get better communication among the available Firemen. One member of the Fire Department has been designated to keep the Am­ bulance in good repair and ready to run at all time*. In checking with Forrest Babcock, Fire Chief, I find that several people in the Village of Nashville have been designated as back up opera­ tor* in a case where most of tbe Firemen might be on a fire call. Firemen will also take care of billing at the point of pickup whenever possible. A charge will he made on all Ambulance calls, and the charges will be based on tbe following schedule------- Nashville to Hastings-$20. 00, Nashville to Charlotte-$20. 00, Nashville to Battle Creek-$25. 00, Nashville to Lansing-$40. 00, and Nashville to Grand Rapids-$50. 00. Any other destination will be charged for at the rate of $20. 00 plus $. bO per mile one way from Nashville. Speaking for the Ambulance Service as Secre­ tary and Treasurer of the newly created Board I would like to express our appreciation to George Vogt for his helpful suggestions as well as his patience in keeping Ambulance Service available until such time as the two Townships could take over. Appreciation also goes to all of the Firemen for their willingness to cooperate in setting up details, and especially to Forrest Babcock, Wes Erwin, Fred Ackett and Leon Ackett who have spent considerable effort on behalf of the new Ambu lance Service. We also appreciate the efforts of the two Township Boards for their efforts, as well as the Village Council for their help. We wanted local service and I think when a local community can solve their own problems it works out to their advantage. Just a few suggestions in concluding this article When you need an Ambulance - Call the Fire Number OL3-234L, Specify whether Fire or Am­ bulance CalL Give Directions to place of call very clearly. If at night leave porch light on. 1 have had occasions to be present at a few of the fires of the past few weeks and I believe that we can have justifiable pride in the job that our Firemen do as well as the equipment that the people of Castleton and Maple Grove have provi­ ded. We have no reason to believe that the Am­ bulance Service will be otherwise. Russell K. Mead Secretary - Treasurer Castleton Maple Grove Ambulance Service NOTICE OF ELECTION TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE, EATON COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

LETA NAGLE, VILLAGE CLERK 40-41C Fire Chief urges caution in burning Fire Chief Forrest Babcock has reported that tbe Nashville Volunteer Fire Department is experienc­ ing a number of grass fires. He urges the residents of Maple Grove and Castleton Township and the Village of Nashville to use extreme caution at this tune in burning trash. In mentioning the concern over these grass fires and the danger to property and buildings, etc., Mr. Babcock mentioned that there is a Burning Ordinance which regulate* the burning of papers, rubbish, leaves, gras* or any other inflammable waste materials within these townships. Material must be contained in a steel or masonry container, so constructed as to prevent the blowing about of any piece* of burning material, any ashes or cinders and the container must be no less than 25 feet from any building. These receptacle* shall be subject to inspection by the Chief of the Fire Department or anyone delegated by him to make such inspections. In regard to grass fires. Section IQ of the burning ordinance state* that it is unlawful to bum any grass, weeds, leaves or other material from any field or lot without first obtaining a permit from the Fire Chief, or someone designated by him to act in such capacity, who shall be empowered to issue the permit at nis discretion, having in mind tbe weather condition, water supply, winds and other hazardous conditions. The ordinance further state* that there shall be no burning after 9:00 p. m. Mr. Babcock urge* cooperation in this matter and state* that if there are any questions, be may be contacted.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7. 1968 �Offer Flouride treatments Topical applications of flouride will again be offered to Barry County children this summer. Mrs. Gene Mater and Mrs. William Swift are tbe chair­ men for Nashville, The flouride program which is supervised by the Michigan Department of Public Health, will be made available to 3 or 4 year old preschoolers, second, fifth, and eighth graders and to special cases referred by dentists. The procedure consists of four visits to the flouride clinic at approximately two day intervals. The child's teeth are cleaned on tbe first visit and a flouride solution is applied directly to the surface of tbe teeth. Tbe flouride application is then repeated during the next three visits. This technique has been shown to reduce tooth decay by about 40?> as compared with tbe 60 to 65% re­ duction obtained with flouridated water. In addition to providing protection against cavi­ ties, the program offers a valuable dental exper­ ience for children with no discomfort.

It is a 42 day Farmer-To-Farmer Study Tour sponsored by Farm and Home Section. You will see exciting places. You will catch up on extraordinary farming techniques. The tour will start from the West Coast and fly to Tahiti, spending a few days there sight­ seeing and having a ball. Then it’s off to New Zealand where you will visit farms and meet people, including agricultural officials — who may want to learn something from you. And perhaps teach you something new. The same goes for your trip through Austral­ ia where the farmers are fantastic and the peo­ ple love Americans. The rest of the trip includes Singapore, Bang­ kok, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Sightseeing, most meals, tips, hotels, and transportation included. And you will know you are flying the best airline there is — Pan American, “The World’s Most Experienced Airline.” Participants on this Farmer-To-Farmer Tour departing the West Coast on October 17 for 42 exciting days will have a real opportunity to meet warmhearted, hospitable folks . . . see their properties . . . even stay in their homes.

EVERBEARING CUMBERS! Who could argue with the statement. .. “fanning gets more demanding and com­ plicated every year” ? Keeping up with a fast moving field of agriculture can really present problems. One year a farmer thinks he has every­ thing figured out . . his equipment is all in good condition . . . he’s farming a rea­ sonably large acreage . ._. margins have been OK in the past so that things aver­ aged out in the market place from year to year. Then, one morning he suddenly realizes that the whole picture of producing corn and soybeans is changing. Land prices are higher ... taxes are up ... profit nfargins are narrower, as is the space between rows in many fields. He has been a good farmer in past years. Now, he suddenly realizes that to stay in business and continue to make a good living, he must start doing everything ‘more right than ever before’ and keep up with changing times. Some of these agricultural economic facts of life can be credited with most of the motivation that has gone into the creation of Farm Show’s Corn and Soybean Clinics . . . this new dimension in education and selling. Perhaps you were one of those who at­ tended the 1968 round of clinics just com­ pleted. The shows were held in some fifty locations in South Dakota, Minnesota, Ne­ braska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Thousands of farmers turned out. The Clinics, produced and staged by Farm Shows, Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin were sponsored by a half dozen commer­ cial companies who wish to make sure that as many farmers as possible are kept upto-date from year to year on these very important changes that are taking place. Companies with modern stories to tell who participated included Allis-Chalmers, Amchern, Behlen, DeKalb Agricultural Asso­ ciation, Shell Chemical Co. and SmithDouglass fertilizer. As you can see, the nature of the total 6 hour presentation covered everything, from preparing the seed bed through the drying and storing of the harvested grain. Many thousands of volumes of agricul­ tural research material are written every year. Naturally, these volumes contain mil­ lions of words and would fill many large rooms if stacked solid. Farmers simply do not have the time to do much reading. It is the responsibility of others to search through all of this material and “bother the fanner” with only that information that wfll directly help him. This is what the Farm Shows Corn and Soybean Clinics did. Farmers started to arrive at the sites of the farm clinics about 8:30 in the morning.' They were pretty busy even before the formal program started__ filling out reg­ istration cards, watching out-of-door mov­ ies on hunting and shooting and enjoying coffee and donuts. The hot coffee was espe­ cially appreciated "by the hundreds of farmers attending the clinics in subzero weather. Smith-Douglass brought the fertilizer story to the farmer-guests. Producing a good corn or soybean crop is not too unlike feeding livestock. A good balanced feeding program pays off in optimum yields and maxi­ mum profit Spokesmen for the company recommended following a good soil testing' program. They further recommended that some fertilizer be placed in the row close to the seed for fast utilization in the early growth stage. The man with the big S-D on his shirt had a special message concerning use of fertilizer on soybeans. He said, “There are all kinds of mixed feelings about soybean fertilizing . . . farmers cannot expect soy­ beans to do their best if they have to do it on leftovers from last year’s corn crop.” His presentation, like most of the others, stressed maximum use of $300 to $1,000 per acre land. The DeKalb Agricultural Association had a good story to tell on the breeding and devel­ opment of constantly improving seed corn varieties. The speaker said that the ability of the farmer to make better yields de­ pends directly upon his suppliers to keep coming up with better products for him to use. “The pressure is on us much as it is on the farmer,” he said. “We are constantly developing seed corn hybrids superior to those already in production. This is a con­ tinuous job with us and I am sure others on the Clinic Program have research pro­ grams that never end,too.” There probably are few farmers left who doubt the yield power of single-cross seed corn varieties or the sound economics in­ volved in planting them. Ways of planting are changing, too. The Allis-Chalmers story was broken down in­ to two segments. The first was a movie on farm power which featured the many new tractors now offered to fit any operation. Tbe second part of the Allis-Chalmers presentation brought to light some of the �basic changes taking place in the field . . . changes such as planting corn and soy­ beans in narrow rows and minimum till­ age. The company was a leading proponent of narrow rows and has developed a whole new line of farm equipment that permits the farmer to go in that direction any time he wishes. The experience of Clyde Hight -pf Moweaqua, Illinois in both narrow row and limited tillage practices was featured in a film presentation in which Clyde, on film, answers questions tossed at him by the moderator who was there in person. It was a clever method of conducting a question and answer session. The same technique was used with Harry Young, the North Carolina farmer who has done so much work in the area of double cropping and no-til planting. And where would today's fanner bo with■ jut the chemical industry? Amchem was well represented at the meetings and left no doubt in the minds of soybean produc­ ers present that it does, indeed, pay to use good herbicides like their own Amiben. A humorous but informative film entitled MORE JACK FROM YOUR BEAN­ STALK pointed out that there is no short­ cut to success in the soybean business. This slide presentation, along with the entire story of controlling annual broadleaf weeds and grasses sent farmers home with the knowledge that it costs far less to control weeds than to let the weeds have the crop. Another Amchem product, Butyrac 175, is a very special herbicide that can actual-^Jy effectively combat the much despised Cockelbur. Another invisible robber of farm profits is that group of insects that live in the soil and do their dirty work underground. On hand throughout the cornbelt to tell farmers how they can effectively fight worms, beetles, maggots, grubs and a host of other insects was the Shell Chemical Company. An excellent film entitled A VERY GOOD YEAR featured close-up footage of these destructive soil insects actually eating . planted seeds and the tender root and stalk shoots . . . before they even have a chance to get a good start. Probably you all have heard of Shell’s popular product, Aldrin. This insecticide and its proper use was more or less featured in the Shell presen­ tation. They included, however, the use story of Heptachlor as well. Thus far, we have the crop pretty well cared for. It has been planted ... much of it in narrow rows, we have fertilized prop­ erly . . . applied herbicide and insecticide. We’ll have to skip tbe growing season and get through the harvest quickly with a new Gleaner Combine ... which brings us - to the last member on the Corn and Soy­ bean sponsoring team. Tbe speaker representing tbe Behlen Man­ ufacturing Company greeted fanners present with a pledge to show them more reasons for staying UP ON THE FARM. He said the technical business of farming is one that really puts a man’s total ability to the test and that those who have survived no long­ er live down on the farm. Behlen had the job of advising the farm­ er what be should do with the grain that he brings in from the fields. He was well supplied with information, too, being a rep- resentative of a company who has led the way in crop drying and storage facilities. The speaker explained why it is necessary to do more than just put the grain in a tank and forget it He told of the necessity of temperature control and aeration to hold down condensation that can cause spoilage. Many good engineering-oriented illustrations made the problem more easy to understand. Many farmers dry their grain and hold it in storage until a future time when prices are better. Many a farmer has paid for his new storage facilities with just a few crops by planned marketing in this way. Every Com and Soybean Clinic was wound up with a brief talk prepared and delivered by a guest speaker. In most cases the speak­ er was a farmer . . . someone like Clyde Hight or Harry Young, previously men­ tioned ... or John Reiser, the central Illi­ nois farmer referred to by practically ev­ eryone as “the Soybean King” The EXPERTS appearing on the pro­ gram were then put to the test with a good bombardment of questions from farmers in the audience. One farmer described his experience of having attended one of the clinics this way ... “I learned how to fight bugs, kill weeds, fertilize, plant modern seed with big mod­ em equipment, how to harvest my crop, dry it properly and put it in safe storage until the price is right” Then, another was heard to say, “I think I learned more here today than I did in four years of Ag College. Of course I’m just kidding ... I think,” he added. Short on height! Long on Yield! ■MU BRAND It's no coincidence that modern DeKalb Brand XL Corn Varieties—the short ones—measure up so well in the yield department. Shortness is one of the reasons the XLs take to high population—the key factor in the highest yields. You appreciate short stalks at harvest, too . . . they stand better, and run through machines easier. No wonder there’s a record demand for DeKalb—Big name for fi/gyields.

In his letter to the board Mr. Rinehart said he planned to retire after 36 years in the profession. The resignation will become effec­ tive June 28. Mr. Rinehart came to the Maple Val­ ley school system four years ago. Supt Carroll Wolff reported that the state police bad inspected the school buses and found them in good condition. The boilers and hot lunch has also been inspected and no unsatisfactory conditions were found., Several members of the board, Supt. Carroll Wolff and elementary principal. Robert Steward, attended a meeting in Charlotte Wednesday eve­ ning of this^week to meet with other Eaton county school personnel and representatives of the Michi­ gan Legislature who answered questions pertaining to school problems. The February state aid in the amount of $104,100 has been received. General fund balance after deducting the March 15 payroll and bills is $54,170.15 plus the amount in the Savings deposit receipts amounting to $113, 580. 56. ' The board voted to transfer the Feb. 29 payroll in the amount of $30,165.45 and the March 15 payroll of $29.299.45 to the payroll account. They also approved bills from the general fund in the a­ mount of $11,771. 76. Mrs. Iva Weiler reported on the findings of the elementary teachers in regard to methods of teach­ ing handwriting. The teachers preferred the ZanerBloser method over the Palmer method 26 to 4. Af­ ter her report the board voted to purchase the sup­ plies preferred by the teachers. Supt. Wolff and Mr. Rinehart gave a lengthy dis­ cussion of the proposed Eaton County vocational program as to its needs, transportation of students to a county center and Ute various fields in which a county program might operate. There are many classes which could be set up to benefit the stu­ dents, and it will take much planning over several years before much can be accomplished. The areas which may first be considered (and will probably be for seniors only at the beginning) could be home construction, vocational agriculture, farm mech­ anics and auto mechanics. The proposed program would be aimed primarily for students who might not be continuing their education beyond the high school level. The board voted to pay $20 for each varsity cheerleader who may be attending a summer camp. The full cost is $50 per student. Head custodian, Wayne Skedgell, was present to discuss some problems facing the custodian regard­ ing the care and improvement of school grounds and athletic fields. The board voted to purchase additional pipe, sprinkler heads, etc., in the a­ mount of $650. Because of the lateness of the hour other items on the agenda regarding teacher recommendations and a general discussion of teacher and non-teach­ ing negotiations were tabled until next Monday evening, March 18, when a special meeting will be held. - * Medical Society to sponsor athletic seminar The Barry County Medical Society is to sponsor a seminar for all persons concerned with athletic and physical education programs in the Barry County area. Dr. Thomas Myers of Nashville heads the group which will present "Prevention, Attention and Treatment of Athletic Injuries," in the latter part of ApriL Administrators of schools in the area encompass­ ing Barry County and surrounding counties are to be invited to send as many of their personnel as possible. Lectures, demonstrations and discussions are being planned. Additional information will be made available as plans progress. NUMBER 42 One will be queen The annual Maple Queen contest is to take place in the Maple Valley high school Friday evening, A­ pril 26, which is the day before the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. Sponsoring the event will be the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival Corporation and serving as the contest chairman is Carl Thrun, a former Festival Corporation president and a maple syrup producer. Thrun has engaged the services of Mrs. Winifred Olds of WILX TV station, Jackson, to act as emcee for the National contest. Last year's queen. Miss Sheila Anderson of Fredonia, N. Y., will be on hand to crown the new queen. «-j Shepherd has already entered its queen. Miss Pat Wischmeyer, known as the "Sugar Bush Queen. ” She was named queen February 8. Other queenswill be elected across the maple-producing states with­ in the next few weeks. One of the candidates above will be named queen to reign at the Maple Syrup Festival in ApriL They are Marabeth VanBlarcom, Debbie Wright, Nancy Weiler, Debbie Wright and Karen Benedict. Syrup makers busy Ideal weather conditions are keeping maple syrup producers busy in the area, and the trees are tapped along the streets in both Vermontville and Nashville. In the opinion of some of the producers, it appears this may be an exceptionally good year. Many of the producers are charging $7. 00 a gallon; $3.75 a half gallon; $2. 25 a quart and $1.40 a pint. Sewage vote approved village officials elected Vermontville property owners went to the polls Monday to approve the borrowing of $100, 000 and issuing general obligation bonds for the purpose of paying part of the cost of a new sanitary sewer sys­ tem. The general consensus of opinion among the people of the village before the election was that the proposition would not pass. The proposition did pass though, by a vote of 81 yes and 67 no. Now that the proposition has passed, steps will immediately be taken to start planning the new sys­ tem. Vernon Trowbridge was re-elected as President of Vermontville. He received a total of 118 votes. Leu Nagle was re-elected Clerk with a vote of 122. Kay Marsh, the incumbent, received 124 votes for the office of Treasurer. Esther Dunham was elec­ ted Assessor by a vote of 120. Three trustees were elected. Charles Viele with a vote of 109, Kenyon Peabody with a vote of 115, and LaVance Aldrich with a vote of 112. The only person running on the Democratic ticket was Anne Samann who ran for the office of Trustee. She received 50 votes. In Nashville 86 people turned out to vote. Only one party. Republican, offered a slate and all of the slate was electee. Harold Christiansen was elected President with a vote of 81. Ada Skedgell and Marguerite Wilson each received 82 votes for the offices of Clerk and Treasurer. Frank Scxamlin and Henry Fedewa both incumbents, each received 83 votes to be elected Trustees. Ben Kenyon was elected trustee with a vote of 8L Justin Cooley was elected Assessor with 'a vote of 83. One write-in appeared in the Nashville elections. Someone wrote in the name of Pat Paulson, a tele­ vision personality and a resident of California. Because there were no petitions filed in the Wood­ land election, all of the officers elected were elec­ ted by write-in. Thirty six ballots were cast in that village. Russell Link was elected President with a vote of 10. Herald Classic was elected Clerk with 20 votes. Robert Born received 18 votes for the office of Treas­ urer. Danny Brown and Gaylord Laughlin were elec­ ted Trustees with 14 and 12 votes. All of these peo­ ple are incumbents. Marvin Classic and Loren Hershberger each re­ ceived 7 votes for the other Trustee. They will draw straws to determine the outcome. Mrs. Alma Boulter was re-elected Assessor. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER The other day a woman on television told about some work she had done with animals which indi­ cates that some of the so-called lower animals are not so dumb as we used to think. This woman has a dog who can type three and four letter words as she dictates them to him. She told many stories that would indicate that dogs, cats, elephants and some other animals have the power to reason, at least to a degree. We have a man in town who can attest to this. Cecil Barrett turned up the other day with a scratched nose. The story Cecil tells to explain the scratched nose is this. The cat was sleeping peacefully on a chair, minding her own business when Cecil said to her, "Well, kitty, time to go to bed and time for you to go to the basement/' As Cecil bent over to pick the cat up she hit him a Letter To The Editor Editor Nashville News Maple Street Nasnville, Michigan by john boughton whack on the nose. Cec and 1 have it all figured out that the cat was just sick and tired of sleeping in the basement. She had it right up to the ears with Cecil taking her off the warm chair and put­ ting her into the cold basement. This was just her way of showing Cecil that she does not approve of such business. Man is constantly disturbing the balance of n a ture. He, man, is the one animal capable of completely doing away with another species. He has shown his capability often. If we keep on the way we are going we will have no wild life left in the world. Down near Miami the’e is some concern that at least a part of the Everglades will be spoiled be­ cause they have installed a big airport in the area. It is thought that the noise of the jets will scare the birds and the snakes. I know a lady who says she has been scared by snakes and it is just a matter of turn about is fair play to now scare the snakes. You have to admit one thing though. Man is treating all alike. He is not picking on just one species. He seems bent on eliminating all species, including man. He can do it too, with the big bomb, insecti­ cides, exhaust gases and destruction of fresh water. Dear Sir: During the week of March 10-16, 1968, the 6000 Girl Scouts of the Glowing Embers Girl Scout Coun­ cil are celebrating the 56th Birthday of Girl Scoutingin the United States. Throughout the 56 years. Girl Scout programs and uniforms have changed to keep up with the times, but Girl Scouts' Promise to "do my duty to God and my Country, to help other people at ail times, and to obey the Girl Scout laws," is as fresh and vital to­ day as it was 56 years ago. As President of the Glowing Embers Giri Scout Council, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the 1100 volunteer men and women who have helped to make Girl Scouting possible for girls in this area. Because of their leadership, the girls of today will be better prepared to assume their responsibil­ ity for the future.

Dr. Paul Chien to be guest speaker As another public service, the Nashville Evange­ lical United Brethren Church will have Dr. Paul P. Chien speak in the church parlors on Sunday evening, March 17, at 7:30. Dr. Chien's general topic will be prejudice. Pastor Varner emphasizes that this is a public service and invites clubs, schools, and individuals to hear this outstanding speaker. Nelson Brumm who is in charge of the program for the next meeting of the Lions Club tells me that Farrell Babcock will be the speaker. This should be a very interesting and educational program, partic­ ularly since Farrell is a home town boy. To sponsor dinner Just when we thought March was to be like a lamb all through. It comes up wi like weather. You can be sure March in Michigan is going to have days like this. Laurel Chapter #31, O. E. S, will sponsor a German Dinner on Saturday, March 16. The dinner will feature a wide variety of spec­ ially prepared German dishes. The dinner will be held at the Masonic Temple in Nashville and serving will be from 6 to 8 p. m. Our village election here in Nashville came off more-or-less as was expected, excepting for one had only one party running here and so those on the Republican ticket had little in the way of op­ position. Of course, the Republican slate won by a landslide. Someone, however, wrote in the name of Pat Paulson, a television personality who has been doing a comedy thing about his candidacy for the office of President of the U. S. The people at WBCH think this is quite rare and have tried to contact Pat in California to get his re­ action to having been written in. At the time of this writing, they have not yet got in touch with him. Announce engagement FARGO Loco It Anne Boughton, Jeff Beebe, Tam and Shelly Wolff.

OL3-6QS7 �Historical Society to meet March 21 Offer Flouride treatments Topical applications of flouride will again be offered to Barry County children this summer. Mrs. Gene Mater and Mrs. William Swift are the chair­ men for Nashville. The flouride program which is supervised by the Michigan Department of Public Health, will be made available to 3 or 4 year old preschoolers, second, fifth, and eighth graders and to special cases referred by dentists. The procedure consists of four visits to the flouride clinic at approximately two day intervals. The child's teeth are cleaned on the first visit and a flouride solution is applied directly to the surface of the teeth. The flouride application is then repeated during the next three visits. This technique has been shown to reduce tooth decay by about 40% as compared with the 60 to 65% re­ duction obtained with flouridated water. In addition to providing protection against cavi­ ties, the program offers a valuable dental exper­ ience for children with no discomfort.

This it a renewal of the five mills that expired with the December 1967 levy plus an additional three mills for increased operational costs. At the present time the school district does not have any extra vo­ ted operational millage. Any registered elector is eligible to vote, and does not have to be a taxpayer to vote at this elec­ tion The polls will be open 7:00 a. tn. until 8:00 p. m. at the Kellogg Elementary building in Nash­ ville and the Maplewood Elementary in Vermont ville. The school district is m good financial condition now, and an approval of the millage on Monday will help insure a sound financial operation in the future while still being able to offer a broad educa­ tional program. One of the major concerns of the board of education is the improvement and expan­ sion of our vocational Instructional program. It is necessary that extra operational millage be approved enabling the school district to meet the requirement to receive full state aid. The present Maple Valley FHAers discuss election of offic e rs The FHAers met March 5 to discuss election of officers, the FHA banquet and State Convention. A committee composed of the Senior members and old officers will nominate the candidates for office. State Convention will be held April 18 and 19th this year. The girls from each class with the most points are eligible to attend, if they have not gone before. This helps give everybody a chance to at­ tend sometime. Committees for the banquet are as follows: * Program, Candice Pixley and Barbara Snow. Dec­ oration: Mary Spicer and Vickie Lundstrum. Food: Delores Spicer. ■ state aid formula requires a local levy to ten mills for operational purposes to obtain full state aid. and it is expected that the minimum amount of local levy for full participation in state aid will increase to 12 mills next year. The school has been alloca­ ted only eight mills by Barry county in past years which tt the amount the school district must levy although Eaton county has a higher allocation. Absentee ballots may be obtained from Mr. Wal­ lace Graham, secretary, Board of Education, 504 S. Main St., Nashville. Application for absentee bal­ lots must be made not later than 2:00 p. m. Satur­ day, March 16.

Next they came to the Elevator. They saw a train car there and the men were dumping grain. They also saw trucks full of com whicn were waiting to grind. The class walked past a gas station and a few stores. They saw maple trees with buckets hanging on them ready for sap. It was a pleasant walk, but cold. Mr. Boughton was printing tickets for the Junior Play on the little press. The big press used to be used to print the paper, but is no longer. It would take 12 hours. Now the paper is printed on a bigger press in Hastings. There it takes only 16 minutes to print the paper, fold it, and put it in bundles ready to be taken back to Nashville. There is a dark room where there was a red light. As the class left, each one was given a pencil. Locals Mrs. Eava Kalnbach visited Sunday Mrs. Minnie Blakely who is in a new home in East Lansing.

THURSDAY, MARCH 21. 1968 NUMBER 43 Select Maple Syrup Queen --News Photo Karen Benedict, daughter of Mr. and Mb. Harold Benedict of Vermontville, was chosen Queen of the Vermontville Syrup Festival Karen will also reign over the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival which will be held on April 27th. Assisting Queen Karen, will be the runner-up in the local contest, Debbie Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wright of Vermontville. Karen and Debbie were chosen from a field of five finalists. Others competing for the honor were Debbie Foote. Nancy Weiler and Marabeth VanBlarcom. Karen is a junior at Maple Valley high school. She displays a thorough knowledge of the maple syrup making process and she answered the ques lions of the judges with a poise and grace. She is in the National Honor Society and had a part in the Junior play. She belongs to the GAA, the Ski Club, and is a former members of the Ma­ ple Valley band. Queen Karen is 17 years old. Alternate Debbie Wright is 16, and is the young­ est of the girls competing in the contest. Her hob­ bies are knitting, sewing, cooking and reading. She also is a member of the National Honor Soci­ ety and is on the Student Council. Each of the girls read an essay on syrup making and the festival which they had previously written. Judges tor the contest were Russ Kerbyson. rep­ resenting the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce, Kate Bosworth, for the Vermontville Woman's club, Wilbur Wais, American Legion, Pearl Ewing for the Eastern Star and Gene Fisher, representing rhe Vermontville Lion's Club. The judging was held following a dinner at the Congregational church. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER One of the marks of a true professional actor is his ability to ad-lib, and to react to situations or lines that are not really supposed to be in the play. Dale Fisher showed himself to be a true pro the other night in the Maple Valley junior play. A sit­ uation arose (they claim it was not supposed to be in the play) which delighted the audience and the other people on the stage. Right at the end of the play. Dale, who was play­ ing the part of a father, was walking around the ig happened living room in his pajamas. Something to the draw string of the waist band of the pajama pants and they started to slip down. Dale was right on top of the situation though. He sat down behind the davenport where he was pro­ tected from the audience, and gave his remaining lines from there. Before the end of the scene though, he just had to leave the stage. This was a part of the play. So he jumped up, firmly grasped his pajamas and raced off the stage shouting, "I've got to get out of here and change my clothes. * It broke the audience up and it also broke the other performers up. It really added a bit of spice to the play. The entire cast for both nights did a bang up job of the play. Mrs. Firster is to be congratulated for the way she is able to produce a play m the face of difficulties. This year she had to put up with members of the cast being our because of sickness, a late start, other school activities that interfered somewhat with production. In the face of these difficulties, she again did a job worthy of Broadway. The big mystery around town is who wrote the name of Pat Paulson in on his ballot for the office of village President of Nashville? Pat Paulson is a TV personality who is making some comic hay of a situation in which he pretends to be a candidate for the nomination to the office of President of the U. S. Some joker here in Nashville wrote Paulson's name in and voted for him for the office of Presi­ dent of Nashville. Now the mystery is who wrote the name in. Ac­ tually, who cares? I had a fellow tell me the other day that he , thought I was the one who did the writing-in. Well, it is gratifying that be would think I would even know how to spell my own name, much less someone like Paulson. He thought I might have written the name in to get publicity for the village and to have a little fun. As a matter-of-fact, I was not the writer-in for numerous reasons. 1. I didn't think of it. 2. While I have seen Paulson on television. I'm not sure I knew his name. When I heard of the write in, I first thought it was some local person. I thought this because I had heard the name, that is, it was familiar to me, but I didn't know to whom it belonged. 3. I actually, at the time of the vote did not know for sure now to spell the man's name. 4. And most important of all, I hold my fran­ chise to vote as one of the most valued things I have inherited. This franchise goes beyond politics or even government. It is a sacred thing, not to be violated. Even in an election where there is no choice of candidates, at a time when there are no issues, I have always made it a point to exercise my fran­ chise, because I believe it is an intellectual exer­ cise. Now that it is over though, I can see the humor in the situation. Possibly the person who did the writing-in really believed that be was casting a vote. I undemand that Paulson received a number of votes in the New Hampshire primary. Some days it hardly pays to get up. The old statement. I should have stood in bed, often applies. Just ask Bea Bowen. She will tell you this is true. The other morning Bea got up, got her husband Al, up and started to get breaklast. Now this is not the least unusuaL Happens every morning.

For some reason, (I don't know the exact circumstances) she thought it was time to get up. So she woke Al up, got the breakfast and then sent Al off to his job over in Charlotte, where he drives a truck for the Eaton County Road Commis­ sion. A short time after Al left, Bea took off the bus garage where she would pick up the school bus she drives every day. Bea thought it a bit unusual that there were darn few people who had lights on in their homes. She must have figured that everybody was sleeping in this morning. She arrived at the bus garage to find nobody there. She hung around for a few minutes, and then think­ ing that this was a beck of a way to run a business, she went back toward home. On the way back she noticed the clock on the Michigan National Bank in Vermontville. By that time it was around 3:30. A short time after she got home Bea got a tele­ phone call from Al over in Charlotte. He wanted to know what time it was. It must have been a long day for the Bowens. Wilma DeCamp tells us that a visitor to W oo d land arrived at that town from somewhere in the deep south. On her way she came through Nash­ ville. The first question she asked was what is this with the town just south of here. Are they on some sort of cleanliness bat? What makes you think that, she was askfed. Well, she said. They have wash buckets hung from just about every tree in town. With the weather the way it is we might just have a good long syrup season. The television commercials selling shampoo and hair preparations are constantly talking about healthy hair. I frankly don't know what constitutes healthy hair. I'm not sure what unhealthy hair looks like. We seem to have some in our house though, and I hope it does not become an epidemic. Our boy Chris, went over to Dr. Myers, to get a physical examination so he can compete with the track team. Chris, it turns out, is not in too bad physical shape. But on the bottom of the report, which has to be signed by the parents, is the notation, "needs a hair cut." This makes me feel pretty good. Perhaps I could qualify to give physicals myself. Good grief. Doc Myers, I diagnosed that hair a good three weeks before you did. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor; In opening the pages of your paper I was glad to read of the action of your Village Council in curbing the closing time of the taverns. It takes courage to do those things and it is to be hoped that the other towns will do likewise. I hope Nashville will take a further step of pro­ hibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors. Drunkenness is killing more and more people every day and wherever intoxicating liquor is sola that place must share In the responsibility of sanctioning the deaths of thousands of people. There are now over 5, 000, 000 alcoholics in the U. S. The first steps toward their fall was the first drink and then more, and finally loss of posi­ tion and family. Mr. and Mrs. Church member and others why not make Nashville one town not afraid to eradi­ cate the sale of this dangerous poison. Some say they will get their liquor anyway, so why not collect their tainted tax money! Do you wish to be a part of such a responsibility for a few dollars tax money’ No you good people should take a stand. Rev. Lloyd Mead St. Petersburg, Fla.

Taught? or What?" was the sub­ ject presented by the Research Committee of L’psilon Chapter of me Delta Kappa Gamma Society at its March meeting held at the home of Miss Mary A Lord in Charlotte. Mrs. Jack Kleimola of Olivet acted as chairman to open the discussion, speaking of the many fields ip which values are set, as per­ sonal, social, cultural, educational, etc. She sta­ ted that values are not innate, but are established by some form of learning. With Mrs. Elbert Carpenter of Vermontville, Mrs. Harold lauch, and Mrs. Lewis Young, both of Char­ lotte, as leaders, the members were divided into groups to discuss how values are transmitted, how conserved, and how protected. What values should be accepted and indorsed was a first consideration. When discussion results were reported, some i­ deas suggested were that values were caught by ex­ amples in the home, the school, the church, and through community organizations such as Scouts. The importance of the very impressionable early years was stressed. The teacher could: without in­ doctrination, present situations where real think­ ing can occur. It was the feeling that today’s youth does much more real thinking than he is given cred­ it for. One point received special stress: treat youths as young adults and really listen to what they say, and not "jump all over them" even if their ideas do dif­ fer from the values of the teacher. If the teacher has the respect of the students, what is said may make a much deeper inpression than is realized at the time. Teachers should interpret society to ad­ olescents, help them to find why they believe what they believe, and to see the many value al­ ternatives integral to successful life and effective decision making.

Professional Business DIRECTORY The new dumping hours for village residents will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 4 until 6 p. m. and on Sundays from noon until 5 p. m. These hours will take effect as of April 1st. Also we will be picking up trash set at the curb­ side through the next couple of months during the spring clean up. Anything that is to be picked up should be set at the curb in containers (which w e will leave when emptied) of a size that a man can handle. These pickups will be sporadic so it may set a day or so before we spot it. Please do not rake or place anything in the gutters, as it impairs not only the drainage, but also hampers the sweeping ana patching operations. We urge everyone to take all precautions to con­ tain their animals as we have had to pick up and dispose of over thirty dogs in the past three months. We do not like to have to dispose of animals, nor does your neighbor like having to contend with them, so please help us. If you have an animal that you want disposed of, contact Police Chief Langham, and we will try and help you. There has been a rash of fires lately which are the result of unattended trash burners and burning barrels which are inferior. This has caused unnec­ essary destruction as well as expense, and it is be­ ing considered that tickets might have to be issued in the future if they persist. Perhaps it may be bet­ ter to haul your papers etc, to the dump while the grass is so dry. MAPLE VALLEY Business Service Bookkeeping & Tax Service DALE H. DEVINE Nashville, Mich.

Its major change is in aims and long range progress and in addition to the sound or audio record­ ing neads manufactured here over the years , Michi­ gan Magnetics is expanding under the new program into more sophisticated fields of magneticrecording. For the computer industry they will be manufac­ turing many types of heads. This requires the intro­ duction of new types of materials and the develop­ ment ofskills and techniques. Michigan Magnetics will also manufacture heads for professional audio such as duplicator heads. Each day new equipment is arriving, and under their "Innovations Unlimited" program they hope that whatever can be imagined in their field they will be able to offer industry. Computer type and professional type audio heads require materials con­ siderably different than Michigan Magnetics has used in the past. Many materials are being manufactured according to die company’s own need* and specifi­ cations. Ferrite, a relatively new material, requires very special equipment. Released under the new program late this year was the first of the American- made stereo record/play Take Tom Rutherford’s Advise ... CHEER-UP and cassette head. Model 09CR2PX-4 cassette head fea­ tures laminated pole pieces for extended frequency response, premium the tiding for maximum cross talk rejections, and the exclusive Series 300glassfilled epoxy housing for unusual extended wear char­ acteristics. Samples, technical specifications, and performance curves of the new cassette head are now available. ... . The Innovations Unlimited program will consist of a series of "productgrams" that will be dispatched to a selected mailing list to inform potential users of new trend-setting products for the consumer, pro­ fessional, and industrial recorder industries. Five key men have been added to Michigan Mag­ netics in recent months. The new general manager is A. W. Anderson; design engineer, John Nelson; marketing director, Don Humphreys; manufacturing manager, Adair Fletcher, and manufacturing engin­ eer, Clayo Alspaugh. Vice president of engineering is Leo Page, and sales manager, Bernard L. Killinger. • Michigan Magnetics is a division of VSI (Vi-Shan) Corp, with headquarters in Pasadena, Calif. The president of VSI and of Michigan Magnetics is Ma­ son Phelps. Other divisions of rhe parent plant in­ clude Voi-Shan Manufacturing company with plants in California, Kansas and Washington; the Screw­ corp of California, and Tubing Seal company o f California.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Future depends on youth Recently Governor Kerner has issued a report on American Racial Unrest which may lead us to anoth­ er crisis. It seems to me maybe it is a realistic ap­ praisal of the issue. However, we do realize in many instances we are enjoying the unprecedented £rosperity at this moment. However, the nation is icking its goal and mission. Individuals become more and more self- centered, greedy, lacking self-dicipline of its desires which influence and contaminate the American youth. I think regardless white or black or other races, we all have children. If we care about our nation we have to care about our youth. If we care about our youth, then we all have to work together to improve the fu­ ture of America's young generations. Regardless of the racial differences, we all feel strongly attached to our children. Even the lowest kind of animals care about their own younger ones; therefore, I think it is important for us to concen­ trate our efforts to give the affection and love and care to our younger generations regardless of their races instead of advocating the black power, the white power, the student power, the police power, because regardless whether we like it or not, the American youth belongs to America and they will represent America. It is not for the extremist to des­ troy our future.

Herbert Cox, Lansing Suburban area Manager. On the bulldozer is Mite Stefon of Grand Rapids. The Michigan Bell Telephone company broke ground March 18 for a new telephone central office to serve the Vermontville and Nashville areas. J. Herbert Cox and Ken McKee, Michigan Bell managers, said construction of the new office is the first step in an improvement program for the area that will cost more than $600, 000. The one-story building will measure 68 by 38 feet and contain about 2, 600 square feet of floor space. The site is at the southwest corner of Mason and Nashville roads. . Completion of the new office is scheduled for next October, Cox said. Following that, several months will be required for the installation of new central office switching equipment. The new fa­ cility will begin serving subscribers iu the early part of 1069, Cox said. Cox placed the total cost of the building, cen­ tral office equipment and associated outside plant facilities at $626,470, an outlay necessitated by continued growth in the area and a high level of telephone usage. The new switching system will provide faster and more convenient local and long distance service. Among the new features to be offered is Touch­ Tone service. With it users tap pushbuttons instead of spinning a conventional dial. Touch-Tone will be offered as an optional ser­ vice, Cox said. It will carry a slightly higher monthly charge than the regular dial service. The new building will be constructed of rein­ forced concrete with masonry block walls and brick veneer exterior. Its architectural design was done by Prine, Toshach, Spears, Architects and Engineers, of Saginaw. The general construction work will be done by r'w^- Ames, Kimball Company, of Grand Rapids.

Maybe be­ fore it became earrings or cuff links? If you have Petoskey Stone jewelry there was a time when it did exactly that. It sifted nourishment called plankton from the bottom of the sea through tentacles equipped with stinging cells. The Petoskey Stone. Michi­ gan's State Stone, is the com­ mon name for a variety of colony corals that lived in seas covering Michigan's Lower Peninsula about 350 million years ago during the Silurian and Devonian ages. Once composed of soft, living tissue called "polyp," the indi­ vidual coral (still visible in the hardened stone) consisted of a food intake opening surrounded by tentacles which waved on the sea bottom in search of food. The fine detail of the corals has been preserved to this day because the original material was replaced through a pro­ cess called petrifaction. Cal­ cite, silicon and other minerals replaced the original material ■ in a cell-by-cell process. Prof. Egbert G. Driscoll, a Wayne State University geolo­ gist, explains that glacial for­ mations millions of years later picked up the hardened corals and deposited them over a great portion of the Lower Peninsula, especially in Char­ levoix, Emmet, Cheboygan, Presque Isle and Alpena Coun­ ties. The common name Petos­ key Stone was coined because this fossil was distributed gen­ erously in the Petoskey area. ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH Rev.

By ELMER E WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION ECONOMIC EXPANSION Michigan compares quite favorably with the na­ tional average in economic growth, and all indica­ tions point to continued expansion during the next decade. These are findings of the Michigan Office of Economic Expansion in its annual report for the year ended June 30, 1967. Growth accelerated in 1963 and has increased at a rate "well above the national average, " the re port discloses. Michigan excelled in family spend­ able income, total labor force, capital investments and Gross State Product. Population figures for 1966 show Michigan with an estimated 8. 5 million residents. Although the birth rate fell, Michigan added 117, 000 people that year. Many were attracted to the state because of the favorable economic climate, the OEE maintains. The auto industry accounted for 80, 000 new jobs in the four year period 1963-66, but other sources F I ■ h,, A Very Special Opportunity .7 to Get Top Value for Your Furniture Dollar! Look!

Majpr expansions in mining, chem­ ical, week, cement, electronic, furniture and oth­ er industries indicate that Michigan will continue to benefit from programmed growth in years to come. Defense contracts pushed military spending over the $1 billion mark, the first time since the Korean War that defense spending exceeded $600 million. During 1966, some 450 companies accounced plans to expand facilities, construct new sites or move new production facilities into the state. The OEE notes that a considerable amount of ex­ pansion was stimulated by legislative actioifand co­ operation between the state and industrialists. Legis­ lation has been enacted which assists industry to meet competition from other areas in the nation in production costs. Tax recognition was granted to in­ dustries which have excessive costs in tool and d e sign changeovers. A municipal bonding act now per­ mits communities to build and equip plants for lease to industry. Funds were provided for research which denotes economic advantages in various areas of the state. The growing Department of International Trade and Port Development and others serve to stimulate industrial expansion and economic growth. Cou­ pled with natural resources, technical know-how, and an ample supply of skilled labor, it is easy to see why Michigan industry has made such an im­ pressive record. "Dear Sir" Letters to legislators can have an important im­ pact on pending laws. Law-makers are generally sensitive to feelings of their constituents and many look to mail from "the folks back home" before de­ ciding whether to support legislation or oppose it. This is especially true if the issue is "hot. " Last year's Daylight Savings time and abortion bills are good examples. Letters ran so strongly against le­ galizing abortion that the bill never got out of com­ mittee. The volume of mail on a particular bills is very important. It is estimated that between 70, 000 and 100,000 letters have .already been received in sup­ port of the current aid to non-public schools issue. Letters opposing the legislation arrived later. While lawmakers do not have time to personally assess every bill, several thousand letters will assuredly bring a second and closer look at proposed legisla­ tion. Personal insults serve no purpose in letters and may cause a negative reaction, the lawmakers agree. Letters are usually more effective than telephone calls or telegrams. They should be personally writ­ ten. The best letter will point out exactly wnat ac­ tion is requested and why, in terms the lawmaker can understand and consider reasonable. COMPENSATION CLIMBS Concerned citizens may wonder what will happen to the state's unemployment benefit fund if a large number of workers are ever unemployed. Some 94, 000 more people were employed in Michigan in 1967 than in 1966. Nontheless, payments to the unemployed rose 80% in that one year, from $62 million to $111 million! The Michigan Employment Security Commission at­ tributes the increase to three major factors: liberal­ izing eligibility and length of pay periods: raising the ceiling of payments; cutbacks in automobile . production with accompanying layoffs. All three factors resulted in more claims for bene­ fits in '67 than in 1966. Most of the increase came from the Metropolitan Detroit area.

Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots” cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. ___ The Barry county Health Department bolds a free immunization clinic for children in its office* in Pennock Hospital the first Monday each Month from 9-11 A.

Councilman Harold Norris stated that someone, who prefers to remain anonymous for the time being, is interested in providing a trailer park. _ This led to a lengthy discussion of the need to ex­ tend the sanitary sewer lines, raising prices in the water department to make the department self-sup­ porting, and other improvement* in the village. The storm sewers are due to be revamped, the streets are to be blacktopped and routine work in other areas was discussed. The council is to add some new street light* in the Fuller street area and on Sherman Street. The village election results on Monday were cer­ tified.

The dinner will begin at 7:30 p. m. and will be held at the Masonic Temple. Terry Edger will act as the Master of Ceremonies for the banquet. Patrick J. Duggan from Livonia, will be the spec­ ial speaker for this important occasion. Mr. Duggan is the president of the Michigan Jaycees. He is self employed as an attorney. He has been a Jay­ cee for six years. He was honored by his local Chapter in 1966, receiving the Jaycee of the Year award. In 1967 he received the Key Man award. Mr. Duggan served as director and president of the Livonia Jaycees and was State Vice President and National Director of the Michigan Jaycees. Local officers for the Maple Valley Jaycees in­ clude: president, Gary Foote; vice-presidents, Tim Smith and Ralph Kirk; secretary, Lee McMillen and treasurer, Jerry Johnson Membership in the Maple Valley Jaycees is open ~ to all young men between the ages of 21 through 35, regardless of occupational or professional class­ ification. Major purposes of the Jaycees are community improvement and personal development of its mem­ bers. Though it's still many weeks before Mom starts worrying about her Easter bonnet and the kids start itching for spring vacation, the staff at Fort Cus­ ter State Home u already trying to find a way to provide an Easter Basket for each of their thirteen hundred mentally retarded residents. "Although we will certainly be able to provide a special dinner, recreational activities and wor­ ship services for Easter Sunday" says R. G. Kenney, the Director of Community Relations and Volun­ teer Services, "we will need the help of outside or­ ganizations to make it a truly gala holiday. This has proven a very rewarding project for scnool groups as well as service and church groups in our surrounding communities. If anyone would like to help, we need thirteen-hundrea baskets with the goodies to pack into them. We are also in need of diabetic candy and gum for quite a few special cases. " Contributions should be sent to Mr. Kenney in care of the Community Relations Department, Fort Cus­ ter State Home, Box 248, Augusta, Michigan 49012 no later than April 3rd., so the staff can be sure to have them in time, to distribute on Easter Sunday.

Tickets may be obtained from Jerry Johnson at the Johnson Furniture flare, or other Jaycee mem­ bers. Army Pfc. William S. Yost, formerly of Nash­ ville, was wounded in action northeast of Saigon, March 6 while serving with the 1st Engineer Battal­ ion, 1st Infantry Divfion. He is in a hospital in Vietnam suffering wounds to his right leg, according to a telegram received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Yost of 16 Grove­ land St., Battle Creek. Pfc. Yost's injuries, the telegram stated, were "not serious. "Yost enlisted in the Army before completing his schooling at Pennfield High School. He had earlier attended Maple Valley High School. He took basic training at Ft. Knox, Ky., and has been stationed in Vietnam since October. Observe wedding anniversaries MR. AND MRS. GEORGE VOGT, SR. Two Nashville couples are observing wedding an­ niversaries this month, and were given specialnonor when the Senior Citizens club met at the Veter­ ans of Foreign Wan hall last Wednesday for a 12:30 pm. dinner. The couples were Mr. and Mrs. George Vogt, Sr., 209 Cleveland St., who have been married 54 years, and Mr. and Mrs. William Martin who are marking their 51st anniversary. George Vogt and the former Clara Laude were married March 3, 1914, in Fowlerville. In 1919 they moved from Webberville to Dansville where they operated a Funeral Home for 45 years. Mr. Vogt served as village president for 15 years. Mr. Vogt is a life member of the Masonic lodge at Dansvule and the Vevay lodge of Mason. Mrs. Vogt is a life member of the Dansville Chapter No. 90, Order of Eastern Star. She is a member of the WSCS of the Nashville Methodist church and both have memberships in the Senior Citizens club. The couple has one son, George Vogt of Nash­ ville, and one grandson, Douglas of Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Martin are both lifelong resi­ dents of the Nashville area. The former Iva Rich and Mr. Martin were married March 28, 1917, in the parsonage of the Nashville Methodist church. They started housekeeping south of Nashville, and are presently living at 626 East Washington street. Mr. Martin for many yean worked at the Nash­ ville Co-Operative Elevator Association, at the Felpausch Food Center in both Nashville and H a s tings and for a time was employed by the Nashville schools. Mix. Martin is a Charter member of the Maple Grove Birthday Circle and is a member of the Philathea Class of the Nashville Methodist church. While enroute to Florida in the fall of 1966 Mr. Martin was seriously injured in an automobile ac­ cident and was hospitalized for some time in Co­ lumbus, Ind. Because of his illness, their daughter, Mrs. Kenneth (Maxine) Brower of Hastings, was un­ able to hold Open House on their 50th anniversary. Besides the daugf-ter, Mr. and Mrs. Martin have three grandchildren and a great-grandson. MR. AND MRS. WM. MARTIN ---News Photos �"AS I SEE IT” BACKSTREET BAROMETER Somehow, in the paper of two weeks ago we i­ dentified the queen candidates and got one girl's name in twice and left another out altogether. We identified Debbie Wright properly one time and then went on to identify Debbie Foote as Deb­ bie Wright. This explanation looks more confusing than the original caption. In any event, we are sorry for these our misdoings and hope that Debbie Foote will forgive us. Helen Ackett got a call from her boy Leonard who was at school at the time. He explained to his mother that he had- forgotten to take some equip­ ment to school and needed it. He asked her if she would bring it to him. It just happened that Helen didn't have a car at the time, but she decided that the walk to the school and back would be good exercise and very pleasant. So she started out. Before she got a half block from home a kind soul stopped to offer her a ride. She explained that she really wanted to walk and went on her way. Within a block and a half, another kind soul of­ fered her a ride and she went through the explana­ tion again. She nad another, another and another offer for rides and finally June Martin eame along and said she was going right up to the door of the school and that Helen might just as well ride. By that time Helen was so tired out from explaining that she ac­ cepted the ride. A person just can't get a bit of exercise these days, even if he tries. Carl Thrun sometimes drives the kindergarten bus from Maplewood and be says it is often quite a lot of fun. The other day a little boy got on the bus with his hands locked together on top of his head. As he walked down the aisle this little fellow's elbows were just the right height to cause consid­ erable consternation among the other passengers. They were, indeed, batting the others in the face as be walked to take his seat. "What is the matter, " Carl asked the little fel­ low, "Did you hurt your head? " "No, " the kindergartener answered, "I have my papers in my parka and I don't want them to fall out." *** ' ■’ . People who are curious about the big highway bus that was in town the other day can rest assured that all is well. The bus came to bring a bass viol to Halvarsons. It seems that the Stockholm Symphony is on tour and was in Lansing when one of the players broke his bass. The conductor called the people at Mich­ igan State University to ask where a bass could be repaired. They gave him Hallie's name and a d dress and the bass player, the bus driver and the broken instrument came in the big bus. It was repaired in time for the next concert. The other day Ralph Richardson sat down after lunch and dropped off in a cat-nap. He was awak­ ened by the telephone, which he answered. Gladys was not home at the time. The caller wanted to talk to Gladys and tried to communicate this information to Ralph, who still half asleep, really didn't know just what the conver iation was about. The caller, thinking he had the wrong number, finally asked whose residence he had contacted. "Just a minute, " Ralph said, and he then looked around on the telephone desk until he found an en­ velope addressed to uimself. He looked at the name on the envelope and answered, "This is the Richardsons." There seems to be a lot of concern lately about the morals of the younger generation.

One man thought he had hit upon it the o t h e r day when he made the smug statement that he thought morals had gone dpwn the drain because they will not let them teach the Bible in public schools, but they allow them to teach sex. (By teaching sex, I assume he. meant these courses in sex education they talk so much about these days.) His implication was that the Bible is the bastian of morals and that sex and the understanding' of it, somehow creates moral decay. I am not so sure I can go along with him on eith­ er count. The Bible can be a most damaging weapon in the hands of a person’who wishes to use it for im­ moral purposes. I once had a good Christian gen­ tleman, a minister (not from here, by the way), tell me that the Bible says that negros are an infer­ ior race and can never become the equal to whites. He had proof in the Bible, so he told me, that God had punished the negros by making them an infer­ ior race and that it was His will that they be treat­ ed as such. There is no doubt something in the book which would lead him to this interpretation. It is not a particularly charitable interpretation but he be­ lieved it. Not all Christian clergymen interpret the Bible in this way. The fact is though, that some can look on the surface and seem to see this in the Bi­ ble. This is not a very sophisticated way to read a book, particularly one that has lost something in the many translations through the years. We all tend to do this in life though. Take a meaningless outward sign and make of it a great truth. We have all heard these things, and some of us believe them. All Jews are good business men and tight with their money. All Negros like watermelon. All Indians get wild when they drink. All Irishmen like to fight. I think we tend to do the samq with the kids to­ day. Just as a broad statement we say they are all bad and lacking in moral values. Once we decide this, we make no further effort to understand them. As a matter of fact, many go out of their way to alienate them. The trouble is, we confuse morals with sometiling that has nothing to do with morals, even the good old fashioned Victorian morals with which many of us were indoctrinated. We make a big thing of a mode of dress. We make a moral issue of it, Down through the ages, each time there has been a major change in the fashion of dress, particularly of women, some jo­ kers who can't think further than was ever thought in the past, say that the women who wear such clothes are going to hell and are not quite moral. Women were arrested within the lifetime of many of us, because they showed their knees when they went swimming. The people of that time thought it very immoral to show one's knees. Now, even in those days, one who put any thought at all into the thing would have come to the conclusion that the showing of knees could or should have nothing to do with morals. The thing that they were fighting was change. In the past someone (Queen Victoria or some other leader of thought at the time) had said knees were immoral. This was accepted and change was resisted. For some reason any change is resisted, and often it is resisted on moral grounds. There were some who thought the automobile was not quite a moral .mode of transportation. Some sects still cling to this idea. I once talked to a man who insisted that street­ cars were a bad influence on the morals of people. We all intend to resist change. Some change is not good and should be resisted. Some change is good and should be accepted. Most change, par­ ticularly ir. hair styles and dress just does not make a bit of difference and should be ignored. We elders have been spinning our wheels a lot resisting change that just does not merit consider­ ation one way or the other. We have drawn up bat­ tle lines against the kids and are fighting just to fight. The issues are hardly worth fighting over, but we must fight just for tne fight. « People seem always willing to fight for little things that can't seem to make much difference, but often ignore the big ones. We draw up battle lines where they should not be. We talk about mor­ als. but we really don't concern ourselves with them. What we are interested in is conformation. A person can be most moral, even by our stand­ ards, but he is considered less than that because he does not hold the same religious, political, eco nomic beliefs that we do. On the other hand we have all known people who have been captains of industry, leaders in politics and spiritual leaden who have attained their ends by most immoral or perhaps a-moral means. These people are accept­ ed and honored. Sometimes things are not just as they seem. Sometimes the man with a beard is not a Commie, trying to overthrow the government, but is an or­ dinary citizen celebrating his town's centennial Sometimes the person protesting is not just a punk kid who is not willing to do his share, but is a thinking Christian who objects to something he considers nor quite moral. Some of the kids with the long hair and the short skirts are just kids, not Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Hippies and Red Guard Many Hippies in'this country have openly stated they wpuld like to have more freedom either in China or in Russia but preferably in Red’China. It seems to ra.e either they are lacking in knowledge of the Chinese Communist strict disciplinary measurment on the youth or totally trapped by the Com­ munist propaganda. If I understand the Hippies' philosophy correctly, they are disillusioned by the society's multiple moral standard or some unethi­ cal practices in some phases of our social activities. They may rebel against certain family discipline or restrictions, sometimes maybe because of the military obligations of out younger generations. However, as a middle-aged educator, 1 have visi­ ted many lands and observed carefully. I do not think any Hippies will be able to make a good Red Guard because the nature of the Re d Guards is aggressive, sadistic, and fanatically dis­ ciplined. Tney will die for any causes. Most of all, it is not the nature of love and faction like the Hip­ pies have intended to be; as extremist as Nazi SS Troops or Communist MVD's. This is the land of opportunity. We have much more freedom compared with other nations. We are not ashamed to admit we were wrong and we have the courage and conviction to pass a Civil Rights Law; however, there are the other nations such as India who still have the caste system. Russia and Great Britons still nave the racial dis­ crimination. In Red China, the minority groups such as Tibetans, Manchurians and Mongolians are subjected to the suppressions. I think these things show we do not try to find ex­ cuses for ourselves to satisfy our own moral and ethical standard. I admit we still have a long way to go in the field of justice and ethics. However, I do not feel we shall consider ourselves as not pro­ gressive as any other nations; in fact, we are much better than most other nations. NEWS^*/ Michael McMillen Airman Michael R.

THURSDAY, MARCH 28. 1968 �License Bureau moves Maple Syrup — a specialty crop The maple syrup season has been slow this seas­ on due to generally low temperatures. According to Eaton County AgrT Agent John Johnson. However, a good season is still possible with considerable frost remaining in the ground. Syrup production is becoming a more specialized business with the smaller sugarbush being discontin­ ued while producers with modern equipment are gradually expanding and improving management and promotion. In the Vermontville area many producers and businessmen have joined together to make this area well known nationally as a maple syrup production center. The tapping of trees in the village and the annual Festival promote both the community and maple syrup products. When visitors drive through the village it is very evident by the number of trees that are tapped that everyone participates. The Fes­ tival association supervises the tapping of the trees and the evaporation or processing ot the syrup. Rec­ ommended practices are used so that these trees have been tapped for many years without injury even though some may have three or four pints per tree. Normally trees 10-15 inches in diameter have one tap-hole. 15-20", two tap-holes, 20-25". 3 tap-holes and those trees 25" or larger in diameter may have 4 tap-holes. Good management is essen­ tial although sometimes it is difficult in a village where roads and driveways may be close to trees and cause compactions of the soil and possible in­ jury to the roots. It is always wise to see that a few young trees are started each year as old age will e­ ventually result in the thinning out of older, mature maple stands. Sugarbush operators through good management can harvest syrup annually and a timber crop every 5-10 years. This makes excellent use of land that may not be suited to a regular cropping program. Under Capitol Dome NEW SCHOOL AID FORMULA PROPOSED The House Education Committee last week pro­ posed a comprehensive revision of Michigan's State School aid formula, with the aim of providing more support for poorer school districts. The bill, incorporating the aid formula changes, also pro­ vides some $615 million in general fund payments to schools for 1968-69, about $5 million more than recommended in Governor Romney's budget. The bill will now be considered by the House A p propriations Committee, to see wnether the funds are available. School aid appropriations for the present fiscal year total some $555 million, about $60 million less than recommended for next year. Under the new bill, the present two-phase aid formula would be changed to a four-phase plan. The classifications would be determined on the ba­ sis of State Equalized Valuation of property per pu­ pil in the school district. Most of the increase in school aid would be di­ rected at districts with a low State Equalized Valu­ ation per school child. For example, a district with only $5,000 valuation per pupil wouldreceive an increase of over $50 per child. High valuation districts would receive a smaller increase. For in­ stance, a school district with a $30, 000 S. E. V. per pupil would receive an increase of $1. 92 per student.

Powell State Representative - 89th District One of the most significant improvements pro­ posed by the committee is a $6. 3 million "middle cities" proposal for inner-city school problems. This new money would be used primarUy to aid children of indigent families, minority groups, broken homes, sub-standard housing, dense school population, and low grade level achievement. House Republicans are encouraged that the new school aid bill has been reported out of committee this early in the session. This will provide for the proper extensive study by House members. Also, early final approval of the school aid measure will be beneficial to schools in establishing their pro­ grams for the coming school year.

The Post Office department regulations were pub­ lished Thursday. March 14 in the Federal Register. Implementing an amendment to the Federal Rev­ enue and Salary Act of 1967 aimed at deceptive solicitations, tne regulations published in the Reg­ ister require the following notice oh each solicita­ tion: "This is a solicitation for the order of goods and/or services and not a bill, invoice, or state­ ment of account due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer un­ less you accept this offer. ” . The regulations also require that the warning be printed in type no smaller than 12-point in size, and that in no case shall it be less conspicuous than the boldest type used to print other words on the so­ licitations. The Department's General Counsel, Timothy J. May, expects the amendment to "dry up" a scheme which has defrauded thousands of mail patrons each year. One of the largest groups victimized by these solicitations are the businesses and other organiza­ tions listed in the classified sections, or Yellow Pa­ ges, of telephone directories. Mr. May said that "millions of solicitations which resemble IBM-type billing cards or invoices for legitimate directories are mailed to firms accord­ ing to their classification in the Yellow Pages. Overworked or careless office workers are tricked into remitting the $60 or $85 fee thinking it rep­ resents a bill which must be paid." Mr. May added that while directories are publish­ ed, they nave little or no advertising value. Usually only one copy is sent to each advertiser. While the primary problem involves die fake bus­ iness directory, the General Counsel has ruled, in response to an inquiry, that magazine subscription solicitations which resemble bills must also carry the prescribed warning. Mt. May said, "There is no reason to conclude that Congress intended less pro­ tection from deception in the case of (magazine) Spring clean-up help offered by street dept.

" Mr. May said,"The Department will need the co­ operation of businessmen and others if we are to ef­ fectively enforce the new regulations. " Those re­ ceiving solicitations designed to/resemble bills which do not cany the warning are asked to forward them to the Mailability Division, Office of the General Counsel, Post Office Department, Washington, D.C. 20260.

They stripped down to their underwear and really enjoyed them­ selves. Bob said that he can see a point on the early sea sou. Down there one has to go this early to beat the mosquitoes.

Senior Trip In loving memory of our beloved son and brother, Ronny Michael Stambaugh, who was taken from us so suddenly one year ago, April 1. One long sad year ago today Another we loved was called away. The blow was hard, the shock severe, We never thought his death so near. Only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. The sudden way you had to die, We shall always remember and wonder why. Sadly missed by Mom and Dad, Gary and Diane 44c Card of Thanks Thank you each and every one of my friends, the Cloverleaf Club, Extension Club and S.A.C.

Each was for exactly $35.00 and in each case a young girl wbo appeared to be in her early 20's cashed the checks. The local establishments where checks have been cashed, and always after a small purchase was made, were Kelley’s 6 and 10 store, Lee’s Cut Rate, Lathrop’s Radio & TV store and the Douse Drag store, owned and operated by John Simon. Chief tarwham called the Michigan State Police in Lansing for assistance. Nashville merchants have apparently been caught in a large operation involv­ ing many persons and many thousands of dntlan throughout Michigan and ocher states. Some of the business men, or their clerks, feel they can iden­ tify the person cashing the bogus checks la Nash- �i BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton Maple Valley News Nashville News - & Vermontville Echo In the Lord Snowden photo essay on aging one of the par­ ticipants said that one of the most upsetting thing about growing older was to see friends and contemporaries die. I know just what the man was talking about. The death of Bob Partridge came as a particular blow to me. Bob was one of the first people we met when w e came to Nashville and while we were not big buddies he of­ ten came in to talk and we often passed the time of day on the street. Bob will be greatly missed around Nashville. The Maple Valley area has a new service organization which I predict will do great things. • A bunch of young fellows got together and organized a local chapter of the national Jaycees. The group was organ­ ized with die help of the chapter at Grand ledge. These young fellows seems to have a lot of zip, and they already have some projects on the fire. They are not afraid to take a stand on local issues, and indeed they go out of their way to do so. There are some who are not too happy over the thought of a new service organization in town. Some, though, will re­ sist change of any sort. I have neard the thought expressed that the new group ; will only make it more difficult for the existing groups to make a go of it. The same people who say this are the ones who say there is no need to build new housing in town, be­ cause there is plenty of existing old houses. In any event, I would like to say "Welcome aboard, ” to the Jaycees. / ■ . NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

Lawrence Carpenter took over the Citgo station here in town and just a couple of days later he was hit by a car on the street and is still in the hospital It is a particularly tough way to start a business. We wish him a speedy recovery. «•*«* It is that time of year. The weather has warmed up more than somewhat and the syrup people have pulled the sap buckets.

The theory, no doubt is, his tree. stick with a going thing. A few days later Whiskers got into an argument with another cat and again he took to the tree. This time Delores Knoll got him out. Whiskers likes that tree. George Wilson sent me the following clipping. A reporter from a big city newspaper stoppeoto visit a friend who ran a country weekly. He asked the friend: "How can you keep up your circulation in a town where everyone already knows what everyone else is doing?" The editor grinned. "They know what every­ one's doing, all right, but they read the paper to see who's been caught at it." ”AS I SEE IT” Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Breakdown of Central Control During the Vietnam crisis, many scholars in As­ ian affairs overlooked one basic element why the recent North Vietnamese offensive is so strong it is almon beyond the comprehension of American mil­ itary experts. The reason for this savage attack was due to the Chinese Communists* pledged all-out military assistance at this time. At the present time, there are more than 250,000 Chinese military advisors and technicians in North Vietnam to make sure there will be no peace.in the Far East unless the United States totally with­ draw from South Vietnam. Chinese Communists suf­ fered a most severe blow during the year 1967 with her self-instigated Red Guard movement. The Red Guard movement has disrupted social economic growth and stability of Red China. The Red Guard has condemned all Chinese Com­ munists who have helped Mao-Tseng Tung to es­ tablish his empire for the last 40 years. Some Field Marshals have saved Mao-Tseng rung's personal life; however, due to the petty jealousy of Madam Mao-Tseng Tung (his official fourth wife) she used poisonous statements to try to alienate these found­ ing members of the Communist Party in China. Such incidents as the Red Guard sentenced the son of Chinese Communist Foreign Minister ChenY i to death and still ask Chen-Y1 to be loyal to the Party and Chairman Mao It is not until now that of the total 28 provinces, these are only 6 provinces still loyal to the Central Government. The suppression and atrocity and sacrifices of human lives has made the local government rebel /Against the Central Government. This is perfect evidence of Chinese Communists' total break-down of its central administrative structure; now returns China to provincial war-lord type of existence. In order for Chairman Mao-Tseng Tung to save face, be has stirred up tremendous difficulties in Macao. Hong Kong, and now the offensive move­ ment in Vietnam and the Pueblo case ip South Korean water. It is my observation Chairman MaoTseng Tung is an old tyrant. He baa pledged to himself to regain his central control regardless of the methods of suppression, even commit his fourth wife to a mental inKitution, remove his comrades in arms, and even promised the North Vietnamese he will use the nuclear weapons to as­ sist the Noah Vietnamese aggression in South Viet­ nam. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1968 �Enthusiasm light at local annual meetings The enthusiasm of the old town meeting days seems to have vanished. At least in the Nashville and Vermontville areas. Vermontville, Maple Grove and Castleton town­ ships held their annual meetings on Saturday, and in each case only a couple of interested citizens attended, along with the township officials. The Vermontville township meeting was held in the Opera House. The annual report was read by die Clerk, Mrs. Leta Nagle, the treasurer's report S' Mrs. Jane Thrun, ana the library report by Mrs. ildred Allen. The final budget figures will be re­ leased this week. Quite probably salaries will be increased slightly. A new fire bam is to be con­ structed, which will mean more money will be needed in the township, and a new fire truck re­ cently arrived. The Saturday meeting was presided over by the township supervisor, Ben Siple. The yearly budget in Maple Grove township was slightly higher this year than last. The new budget asks for $21, 848 and the balance sheet shows there was $6,447. 58 left from this past year's expendi­ tures. Anticipated receipts for the coming year were $21, 518 and the expected balance at the end of this year is anticipated at $3, 018. Supervisor William Schantz said the board voted to ask for one mill for fire fund and maintenance be placed on the ballot for the primary election scheduled for August 6. Based on the assessed valuation figure of $2, 283, 970 this will bring in $2, 283 if the pro­ posal is carried. The assessed valuation figure shows an increase of approximately $30,000 over last year's $2, 251,000 figure. In other business the board increased the supervisor's salary from $1,075 to $1, 500; the clerk's from $800 to $1, 000; the treasurer's from $900 to $1,225 and each trustee will receive $275 instead of the $200 given this past year. 68-69 Budget set The budget for the village of Nashville for the 1968-69 year has been set at $112, 862.00 as c o m pared with last year's figure of $105,7381 00. Comparing the anticipated receipts for the new year as compared with last year the figures read: (the first figure is the new year, and second, last year). Incidental fund, $48,525. 00 and $43, 613. 00; Highway fund. $32,235. 00 and $29, 000. 00. Recerving fund, $15, 500. 00 and $18, 500. 00. Sewer charge, $12.000.00 and $11, 725. 00. Two-mill debt service, $4, 600. 00 and $2, 900.00. Anticipated expenditures for the year, and a com­ parison, read: Incidental fund, $14, 899.00 and $11,094.00. Sanitation department, $11, 000. 00 and $9, 400. 00; Fire board, $2,100. 00 and$1,750.00 police department, $11,145. 00 and $11,158. 00; parks, $500.00 and $600. 00; library, $500.00 and $600. 00; fuel and lights, $5, 000. 00 and $5, 000.00; street department, $36, 900. 00 and $33, 350. 00;sewer bond fund, $15, 191. 00 and $18,451. 00 and wa­ ter department. $15, 625. 00 and $14, 335. 00. OBITUARIES Robert Tartridge At the Castleton township meeting, conducted by Supervisor Russell Mead, the financial statement was reviewed and the regular annual reports were given. The 1968-69 budget was set at approximate­ ly $29, 000. The total equalized valuation for the township this year is $5, 200, 000 which is approxi­ mately $40, 000 higher than last year. In other bus­ iness me ambulance service setup was again r e viewed, it was reported that the two and threequarters of blacktop on the Center Road has been completed, and considerable time was devoted to the discussion of junk cars. An attempt, on a town­ ship level, to get rid of the 20 or 25 junk cars throughout the township, has not been too success­ ful. Other areas in Barry county are faced with the same problem, and according to Supervisor Mead, the problem is to be attacked from a county angle.

BriggsPerntonlville Hardware Phono 259-7231 March 25, 1968 Mr. Editor: The article in connection with the picture in the "last edition of the Maple Valley News of the ground breaking ceremony for the new Michigan BellTelepbone building, said that the completion of this project would improve the service in the Vermont­ ville-Nashville area. One Improvement would be the push-button system to replace the old dial sys­ tem. «. My question now is; How about improving the OLD system, in the rural areas, of 8 party lines ?It seems to me, and I’m sure many other Michigan Bell Telephone faithful customers who live outside of the cities, towns, and small villages, who, through necessity, have to contend with this OLD system, would be yen' delighted to have some of the dollars set aside for improvements used to make our lines less congested. The push-botton plan is only going to be another irritation because we have to be able to get the dial tone before we can possibly do any diali no or pusiting of buttons. The members of my family try to be co-operative and I am very thankful that the other seven (rm­ flies on our telephone line do too. It would be a very serious situation if we couldn't be neighborly ana understanding concerning the use of an Item that is no longer considered a luxury. We siDcexely appreciate the service we do a 1 ready receive, but would be much better satisfied with a little more modernization of the rural tele­ phone system. Yes, I agree, some new things have been instituted since we moved here in 1946, but there is Kill room for a lot more. Thank you for letting me "blow my suck. * Robert W.

Letter to the Editor Nashville News Nashville, Mich. Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital Charlotte, Mich, , April 1. 1968 Dear Editor; I am writing in concern of an article you had in your paper of March 28th about James Erwin and Al­ bert Kienutske. The only accident in the case was that the poor dog got loose. I personally know that the dog was on a short chain inside a high fence. How much more can you fasten a dog up? Albert and Karla both work. The dog would not have hurt anyone; be was just bis. Albert went up to ask Erwin al>out the dog and he . told Albert to get off his property and when Albert turned around, Erwin grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him abound and knocked him in the mouth. Albert had 19 stitches in his lip and a tooth knocked out. I think the village of Nashville should get Erwin off a position where be has to face the public. I personally know that Albert Kienutske is not a fighter and wouldn't hurt anyone. He has never been a fighter before. I know because I am his mother. I hope the public gets to see this. Thank you, Mrs. Hubert Decker A star has fallen, a page of tragedy has been written again since the death of the Late President John F. Kennedy. During the last two decades, I have traveled around the globe and visited many nations. It seems to me Reverend Martin Luther King is a shining example of this great nation; es­ pecially since after the Ute President Kennedy’s election, Martin Luther King has become a house­ hold word. • A nation like the United States has permitted a minority group leader to travel, to speak of protest in white communities with full freedom and liber­ ty, federal troops to protect him, crowds cheering him while only the extremists have hated him. The Black Power leaders called him Uncle Tom, a man who had sold out the Negro race. The KKK mem­ bers had made up their minds to get him one way or the other. Only people with sanity and con­ science, people who believed in constitutional rights and remembered the ideals of the American Revolution have applauded him. I did not agree with everything Martin Luther King had done; however, it is impossible for any­ one to believe the extremists in this country have the power to eliminate and exterminate the moder­ ate civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King in such a brutal, lawless manner. We realize the fed­ eral government is not able to protect all innocent people. However, it is inconceivable to have such a huge budget as that of the FBI and still let KKK and Black Power elements run wild in this country. I am sure the death of the late President Kennedy was celebrated by the Chinese communists as well as the extremist right groups in this country. No doubt, extreme right groups as well as the hardcore of the extreme left wingers, will have their field day again during this tragedy. Martin Luther King was a man with courage who had continuously proclaimed to the world that the greatest nation on this earth was the United States of America, even as he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He said he was so proud to be an American, and he wished to cariy his deep convic­ tion to all the comers of the world. Many vicious attack upon him by extreme groups have question­ ed his sanity, political affiliations, academic de­ grees; some even have questioned his religious faith. However, Martin Luther King has stood high in his­ tory because he believed in Americanism. He did not ask for separation between the white and Negro; he did not hate his fellow Americans; he was wiUingto risk his own life to save this restless nation. The lawless shall not be encouraged; the voice of liberty and freedom will not be suppressed if we continue to believe in our government as a consti­ tutional republic. BACKSTREET BAROMETER We have lived through another weekend of na­ tional sorrow and shame. The murder at Martin Luther King rests heavily upon the shoulders of all of us. because to a de­ gree, we are all responsible. We are responsible because we ignored con­ ditions or condoned conditions. Some are responsi­ ble bedause we simply did nothing. Not only are we responsible through our ignor­ ance and indifference, some of us are responsible through actual fostering of the conditions and feel­ ings that brought about the murder. The mar. ofpeace, of non-violence, died a vio­ lent death, and this is the way life sometimes is. The nation mourned the death of the man of peace because he was known and because his work was so well known. Perhaps at the same time Dr. King died, several George Vogt named Cen tennial chairman A meeting was held on Thursday evening April 4, at the Castleton Township Hall for formulating plana for the Nashville Centennial to be held in 1969. The meeting was conducted by George Vogt, president of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and was attended by approximately 50 persons. Members from various churchy clubs and organi­ zations from the community attended the meeting. Mr. Vogt expressed his appreciation for the interest and enthusiasm shown. George Vogt was named chairman of the co m mittee for the Centennial and Mu. Nelson Brumm will assist as Secretary. A second meeting will be held May 2 at 8:00 p. m. in the Castleton Township Hall. Various representatives from the clubs and groups are to attend this meeting and it is hoped mat some committees will be named at this time. In the preliminary discussion at Thursday's meet­ ing. those attending seemed to feel that a three day celebration, held perhaps some time in June would be most suitable for a Centennial observance. The date was not definitely set at this time. Those who are interested are urged to attend the May 2nd meeting and make whatever siMgestiore they may like to the {dawning of the CentenniaL ’ This summer-Western Michigan University's De­ partment of Music will become the first in the U­ nited States to offer a Composer's Seminar for high school students interested in music composition. The Seminar has grown out of the department's recognition that the increasing numbers of high school students interested in composition seldom find music programs designed specifically for their needs. The Composer's Seminar, July 7 through July 20, is planned as a stimulus to the young student composer and as an opportunity to study with an experienced composer. The two-week session will include intensive work in composition, orchestration, and contem­ porary music literature. Toward the end of the session, there will be an opportunity for perfor­ mance of selected scores by the seminar composers. High school students interested in receiving more information should write to Composer's Seminar, Department of Music. Western Michigan Universi­ ty, Kalamazoo. Michigan 49001.

Right now, even as we are talking about discussions a­ round a peace table with our enemies, we continue to bomb military targets. How many non-military individuals might be involved in this bombing is anyone’s guess. How many of these individuals are advocates of non-violence and peace is also any­ one's guess. There is little doubt that most of them are just simple people who really don't know what is going on. Most'te them are people so poor that their concern is just with feeding weir families. Most of them are people who have been on the move trying to keep out of the way of armies for yean. As a nation we are spending billions to continue a war and to kill people half-way around the world. As a nation we have refused to spend even a frac­ tion of the amount the war costs on removing the conditions that lead to the death of Martin Luther KiJ^iybe we can rally around Dr. King's death and all of us work toward a great non- violent revolu­ tion dedicated to the understanding of our fallow men and to bringing all men out of the ghetto and giving all men the dignity human beings deserve. If we can go about this non-violent revolution with half the zeal we generate for violence, if we spend a fraction of the money on this non-violent war that we spend for materials of destruction, we can have victory within the Uves of all of us. Maybe the events of the past week will point up the need to continue the work of Dr. King in bls way. Maybe now we can all get down to the busi­ ness of peace and of helping our fellow man.

They still have to make the acquaintance of many Nashville persons, but to those who have had the opportunity to be entertained in their home, it is an experience long to be remembered. Their furnishings include articles from around the world. They have a collection of more than 300 paintings, their dishes and silver come from fara­ way places which makes one scratch his head in an attempt to locate quickly, and they have a collec­ tion of books that would do justice to a sizeable li­ brary. One can spend hours fascinated by a number of exquisite models Mr. West has made. The mod­ els include Protestant and Catholic altars, a threedimension Masonic plaque and many animals. They also have numerous Indian treasures. A thumbnail sketch of their lives reads like a story book. Lnor Onontiyoh was born in Plainwell, the daughter of a Mohawk Indian. Dr. Peter Onon­ tiyoh who had married Lilie B. Steele, a patient of his. Lnor attended Plainwell schools and then en­ rolled at Kalamazoo college. In extra curricular activities she attended a dance school, became as­ sistant to the manager, Ruth Eaton, and later taught dancing to students in Plainwell, Battle Creekjackson, Kalamazoo and Allegan. Meanwhile Lawrence West, a native of New York City, had left home at the age of 13, and his yen to ’’go to sea" had taken him around the world sev­ en and a half times. A chain of circumstances brought both of these young persons to Chicago, HL , and the couple met in the home of mutual friends at a small party. Seven hours later Lawrence had asked Lnor to be­ come his wife, and three days later they were mar­ ried. Eventually the couple went east where she a c cepted a position with the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. Twenty years later, in 1965, she retired as Administrative Assistant to the Director. Mr. West was employed by the Smithsonian In­ stitution in Washington, D. C. where he specialized in light effects for the exhibits and worked as pre­ ventative maintainence man in all of the buildings. Prior to his work at the Institution he was employed in the sub-station of the Navy building which, a­ mong other things, supplied power for the White House and Navy communications. In all, he was employed 24 years by the government, and much of his work was classified. The Wests were involved in a serious automobile accident in 1963 and be­ cause of his injuries be was forced to take an early retirement in 1964. Having married an Indian Mr. West became deep­ ly concerned with the problems of the Red man and government attitudes toward them. On occasion he has stepped in to provide assistance. Each year the Wests vuit the Indian Reservation in Canada, and during the Border Crossing ceremony held in Can­ ada in 1959, Mr. West was adopted into the Turtle Clan of the Mohawk tribe of the Iroquois, a con­ federation consisting of the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senacas and Tuscaroras. The annual Border Crossing ceremony is held alternate­ ly in Canada and the United States to keep alive the Indian's right to cross the border freely. The Wests will again- visit the reservation this summer, where Mrs. West went with her parents for the first time when she .was 14 yean old. Mr. West's great-great-great-grandfather, Ben­ jamin West, the painter, before his death, gavehis museum to Joseph Brant (bom Thyendanegea), the Mohawk Indian chief who served with the British army in the American Revolution. One of Benja­ min West's paintings, "Sir Guy Johnson", hangs in the National Art Gallery in Washington, and in the background is Joseph Brant, who is a distant rela­ tive of Mrs. West. Back in 1937, when the Wests were living in Plain­ well, Mr. West was initiated into the Masonic order there. He bolds membership in the Blue Lodge in Virginia, is a member of all York Rite bodies, all Scottish bodies and a member of the Royal Order of Scotland. For many yean Mr. West has given lec­ tures in several states before various Masonic orders on Ans and Crafts. He is well versed in 53 classifi­ cations, and for two yean taught children's groups. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Mr. and Mrs. West have three sons, two of whom will leave shortly for Vietnam, one daughter and six grandchildren. The two sons slated for Vietnam are Sedgrick Onontiyoh West of Milton, Fla.. and Lawrence Onontiyoh West of Charleston, South Car- olina, both Chief Petty officers in the Navy. Their other son is Leon Onontiyoh West of Marietta, Ga., and the daughter is Mrs. Sidonie Bateman of Wash­ ington. D. C. Legal State of Michigan, Probate Court for the County of Barry.

Main street in Ver.montville. A derailment of a Penn Central freight train ne­ cessitated the replacement of 400 foot of new track near Vermontville and the repair of an additional 800 foot of track. Thirteen can of the train were derailed at about 3:30 a. m. just west of the Vermontville crossing. If appeared that one truck of a car somewhere . near the middle of the train left the track some­ where near Chester and was off the tr*ck until it hit a frog just west of the Citizens Elevator in Ver­ montville. At that time the'truck must have turned sideways causing the derailment. Thirteen can left the track and several feet of roadway was tom up by the accident. Workmen wcrked around the clock to repair the right-of-way and trains were again moving over the track the next day. No one was hurt in the accident. According to Eaton County Sheriff’s officers, Ken­ neth was walking with two companions about one tenth of a mile north of the Penn Central Railroad tracks when he was struck by a car driven by Darien Lee Graham, 21, of Vermontville Highway. The accident occurred about 11:30 p. m. Funeral services for Kenneth were held from the Grace Lutheran Church in Hastings, on Monday. He is a former resident of Nashville and he attended Maple Valley school and worked at Plycoma Ven­ eer Co. Kenneth is survived by his mother, Mrs. James Evans of the Barry Trailer Park. In addition to ills mother, he is survived by his step-father, a half­ brother, Gary Landis of Woodland and three halfs liters, Sharon Landis of Woodland and Julia and Tanice, both at home. �AS I SEE IT News Photos My next door neighbor, Jerry Shoup, is at it a­ gain. Every once-in-a-while Jerry starts on a project that keeps the entire neighborhood interested for days. . Right now Jerry is in the process of carving the bead of an Indian, or something on the stub of a tree which died last year. Maybe be is ' carving a totum-pole, I don't know. I do know he is doing a good job of it and it is stop­ ping traffic like mad. Shoups had this upside-down tree in their yard and it just up and died last summer. Jetty cut the branches off the tree but left the stub standing (the trunk of the tree). Last Saturday he got busy with a chisel and after he had chippea away for a few minutes he had the stan of a good, recognizable face. He has worked off-and-on since then and I can see that he is going to have a real work of art in his yard. As Jerry sits out in his yard working away at his tiki or totum or whatever it is called, the neighbors stand around and offer suggestions as to how the darn thing should be done. Jerry listens to the sug­ gestions and then does it the way be wants to any­ way. One stranger driving past in his car stopped to watch for a while. A number of the neighborhood dogs have sat and watched Jerry and they just can't believe what they are seeing, We have a bunch of confused dogs around there now. Now that I think of it, some of the trees look a bit worried since Jerry started his latest project. Anyway, Jerry gets my vote of confidence for helping beautify the neighborhood. I wish he would put in a swimming pooL That would be a fine project. MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien, Publishing Agency The joy of teaching Approximately ten years ago when I was thirty years old, one of my children asked me, "What is the happiest thing an individual is able to do?" During that time, my answer was, "The happiest thing on earth is giving. " It was a phrase I borrow­ ed from the United Community Fund Drive. How­ ever, after some deep thinking, I realized I had no fortune to give and it is too drastic to give my life to someone, and frankly my physical condition was too weak, really, to contribute any kind of success even if I wanted to give it to someone. However, I feel if I devote my time and energy to entering the teaching field, I always think to teach is not only to give the student the facts and figures for them to memorize, but to inspire them, encourage them, and sometimes to console them. To educate is not merely for the student to learn the historical facts and business techniques, but to develop their personality, utilize their potential and sometimes even tell them how good they are and the result is overwhelmingly successfuL Some methods I have used such as to encourage the slowlearning student is to tell them the individuals' mental capabilities are not equal, just like the big business has big capital and the small business has small capitaL When you have limited capital, you just have to work harder. The most important element in working harder is self-discipline.There­ fore, from time to time we have regular 7:00 a. m. sessions for the students to realize in reality that the individual who is willing to work harder, the result is always good. Another method we use is for the student to hear the industrial leaden who speak to them. Most of these leaders are humble and modest even with tremendous business success. The result is usually that the student realizes that to be a business leader, be does not have to throw his weight around to impress the individuat The real business leaden are hard-working individuals, knowledgable, modest and self-disciplined. The third method I have tried is to assist the students to improve their family relations, to inform the parents how well the student has behaved in class and how much the student has utilized his ability and their appreciation to the parents in sacrificing the family living standard to send the student to college. This method has achieved tremendous success for the family relatiom. It seems to me in many cases this helps to make die parents feel proud Of their children and for the student to feel obligated to maintain a high academic level be­ cause of the confidence me teacher ano the parents have placed on their shoulders. Therefore, as a teacher, I do not have a fortune to give away, but for giving my time and energy in □eveloping students' talent and moral and ethical itandard is a giving and thte js one of the morf joyful things an individual can do. When I feel teaching is not limited to the formal(teachine, I think we Sin inspire our neighboa* children? ire can inspire our Junior execntivea, we can heto our local high school stnnrnts, or we can participate In many creswmwrfty a^its which in ooe form or the ottafe a way of 7 Her name is Mickey and me is 6 yean old.

Girl Scout news Twenty four girls of troop #313 and five leaden — returned Tuesday from a two-day camping trip at Wacousta Girl Scout camp. Mill Run cottage is a large log cabin structure with a fireplace, an up­ stair sleeping balcony, a small kitchen with a wood stove, and all water comes from a cold flowing well just outside. In fact, all the plumbing is outside. Everyone slept in sleeping bags and ate from mess kits, and all the cooking was done over campfires. Before each meal the six patrols of 4 girls each had to draw from a Kaper bucket to see what job they would get. The chores included, getting water, fire­ wood, the fire builden, the cooks, dishwashers and kitchen and dining room clean up. Each girl had to do her own individual dishes after each meal and then the dunk bags were hung on the line to dry till next meal. For some reason food tastes great in the camp and everyone seemed to have a hearty appetite in clean­ ing up the camp stew, bread twists, brownies, beans and sloppy joe*. Activities included Flag ceremonies, a tree find­ ing hike, first aid lessons, a Scouts own ceremony, a Montagram hunt, a Investiture ceremony when three new girls officially became scouts, a scaven­ ger hunt for unusual items, and lots of practice with knots and knives. Some free time was allowed for games, wandering, and picture taking. The last night a pantomime Vaudeville act was put on for the girls at bedtime by the leaders. Each girl tried to keep her belongings together in a duffle bag and the only things in the lost ana found list were a stray sock, a fork and a washcloth, which isn't bad considering the truck load of equip­ ment that was taken. When it was time to leave, the girls drew for Ka­ per jobs again and this time the chores were a little harder like sweeping, mopping, outside clean-up of the fire rings and grounds, filling the wood boxes and scrubbing the toilets. They left the area in bet­ ter shape than they found it which is one of the Girl Scout's unwritten laws. Some of the girls had already earned their Troop Camper badge last year while 13 more girls have ■led for it with the completion of mis camping : rest of the month me girls will be busy with Syrup Festival activities such as wrapping the silver for the American Legion (their sponsors) tor the pan­ cake eating and parade preparations, marching and a float to enter.

Mrs. MacDonald gave a few interesting remarks about the speaker, Mrs. Milton Lamb, who was well known to many of the club members. She had been a former teacher and principal of the Vermontville school. Mrs. Lamb is now Guidance Director of Okemos high school. In 1966 and 1967, the National Honor Society wanted a service project. So with Mrs. Lamb and a few teachers, thirty in all, they traveled to Stink­ ing Creek, Kentucky, a small community where two women had formed a small mission center, Lend a Hand. They taught the women to can and dry vegetables ana fruit. They also taught them a­ bout nutrition, sewing and other basic skills. They built a small chapel where they held ser­ vices and Sunday School for the children. The students who participated helped clean lawns, planted pine trees, planted and cared for gardens, gave small programs, helped with church and Sun­ day school, cared for children and many other tasks. In return they had a better knowledge of condi­ tions in Appalachia than from books. Mrs. Lamb showed slides of this program with her talk which were most interesting to everyone. After the program, the group went to'the Cafeter­ ia where punch, tea, and cake* were served. The table and decorated cake* were of blue and white, the senior class colors. The tea committee was made up of Mrs. Edith Benedict, Mrs. Leta Nagle, Ma Winnie Mill* and Mn. Kay Marsh, Vermontville club members, and Mr*. George Vogt, Mr*.

Max Kelley, as chairman of the Re- Women’s groups will vote on merger On Thursday, April 25, the Woman's Society of Christian Service and the Women's Society of world Service of the three United Methodist Churches in Nashville and Barryville will vote on the proposed merger of the women's societies. Although the General Uniting Conference that forms the United Methodist Church takes place in Dallas, Texas on April 23, Michigan Conferences will not be officially merged in aspects of adminis­ tration until June, 1969, and local churches will not merge until laymen decide to do so. Both the now Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist women's societies have been informed, however, that officers should be elected before June 1. to begin terms in September. Therefore, both ex­ ecutive committees felt this an ideal time to bring to a vote any decisions on merging the local socie­ ties, so that, if approved, elections could be made accordingly and without reversal , Whereas an invitation had already been given to the Women's Society of World Service to attend the April 25 meeting of the Woman's Society of Christ­ ian Service, it was recommended that this time also serve for this vote on union of the two sociietes. Each society will cast and count ballots separately, and provision will be made for absentee balloting In the event that such union is approved, a nomin­ ating committee of two women from each church will De named to prepare a ballot of officers. This meeting will be held at 1 p. m. at the Uni­ ted Methodist Church, comer of State and Washing­ ton, beginning with a carry-in luncheon. Mrs. A. F. Welch will present the program in the form of a book review. Used clothing needed Mrs. William Hamm has requested that good used clothing be saved for use by the Helping Hands group.

The village officials want it made clear that no alleys have been abandoned and no special privileges nave been granted either. It has been necessary to allow some parking in alleys since the "No Parking from 2 to 6 am' has been enforced as some individuals simply have no other place to park. However, no car can be parked over a 48-hour period at any one time. The alleys are presently used for drive-through areas for the collection of garbage, for the fire department and the police. Because of high snow removal costs, the village has not plowea out the alleys for the past two winters. Tne millage for the village was set at 13.2 mills. This includes 8.8 mills for the general fund and 4.4 for highways. The village is still looking for someone to take over the duties of Zoning Administrator.

The visiting hours shall be from 2:30 p. m. to 4:30 p. m. ana 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p. m. These regulations have been put into ’ effect at the request of patients, medical staff mem­ bers, and in the interests of good patient care. The average stay for a mother in the Maternity Ward is approximately four days, and the Hospital staff feels that the new mother is entitled to a good rest during these four days before returning to the bomemaldng chores with a new child. Visitors should remember that only two visitor* per patient are allowed in the patient rooms at any one time. This regulation applies to all hospital pa­ tients as well as maternity patients.

The youngster looked at Larson and remarked, "You already have had a hair cut. " Mrs. Beystrum says she thinks the child is a diplo­ mat in the making. BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton John Simon was talking about the days, way back when he was going to school, when he had the absolute tops in absent minded professors. John said this fellow taught chemistry and that he would come to classes with non matching shoes on or with trousers that did not match his jacket. He would forget where he left things and forget in the middle of a lecture just what he was talking about. For a final exam in chemistry this prof gave each member of the class a substance which he was sup­ posed to run through a series of tests and come up with the answer as to just what it was. John said that he went through his procedure and took the answer to the professor who immediately looked on a sheet of paper and shook his head. Not the right answer. Each person in the class went through the same procedure. Each had the wrong answer. After the third time each one in the class tried to come up with the answer the prof called them all together and told them that they sure were mix­ ed up. Simon was coming up with the answer Smith was supposed to get. Smith was getting the answer that Jones should have had. Thomas was getting the answer Simon was supposed to get. All of a sudden a light came into the old profes­ sor's eye, and he came up with the right answer to the whole thing. Somehow he had mixed the names and the substances up. Harold Norris was telling about a fellow who really had his share of troubles for one day. Harold says this is a true story. This poor fellow was working in a plant some­ where and he had an accident that injured a finger to the point where he was rushed to the hospital for treatment. He just nicely arrived at the hospital when he got a telephone call from his wife saying that the house was on fire. The doctor gave him a quick emergency patch-up of the finger and the guy took off in his car for home. In his rush he went off the road and wound up in the ditch. This did his car no good at all. Anyway, he got out of the car and ran on home. As he rushed around to help with things at the fire the wind blew the storm door which hit him in the butt and broke the glass, giving his a nasty cut in the butt. He was immediately rushed back to the hos­ pital where several stitches were required. I'll bet he was glad to see that day end. Bev Backe took her little son who is three, over to the bowling alley to let him watch the girls bow L He had a big time. He enjoyed watching the bowl­ ing, but as much as anything he enjoyed the atten­ tion he got from the members of the team. They all held nim on their laps, hugged him and cuddled him. The next day he called his grandmother to give her the real exciting and wonderful news of the day. "Guess what, grandma. I've got the mumps. " pie who refuse to go to the aid or someone Being attacked. The papers play up the person who says he does not want to get involved. Many of us have closed our eyes to the troubles of others. Now it would appear that some do care about others. Some do want to help and will go out of their way to help. Mrs. A. Beystrum tells me that she was sitting at a table at the VFW house on Saturday, with several other people, among them Pete Larson and next to him a lad four or five years old. Pete patted the little boy on the head and asked him, " Do you think I could get a hair cut like yours?" \ A salesman from Toledo was telling me that his wife went in the hospital for some rattier routine surgery. Bill was sitting inthe waiting room read­ ing a magazine and waiting for her to get out of the operating room. Three or four women were in the room with him. The doctor, a real joker, came charging into the waiting room, shook Bill by the hand and said, "Congratulations, your wife just gave birth to trip­ lets. ,p Bill went back to his magazine and muttered something to the effect that he didn't even know she was pregnant. Bill says it shook the women more than some­ what. News Photos My boy got the bright idea to hold a paint-in at our house on Sunday. So he invited a bunch of his friends to come over with paint and brushes, and each one just started in doing whatever came into his head. When the kids got through with the ga rage it looked like nothing you have seen, with such famous old lines as " school lunch tastes good," and "CAUTION » ADULTS AT PLAY. " The kids had a big time of it and it kept them off the streets for a tew hours, at least. Now I am going to organize another paint- in but I'm going to change the ground rules. I can’t do it though, until I save up enough money for more hamburger to feed the crowd. - » Hi i The PTA has a very worthwhile project they are working on right now. They are organizing Help­ ing Hands block mothers wno display the helping hand sign in their windows. Children who need help for any reason are instructed to go to a house witn the helping hand sign in the window for aid. This is a good sign.

Chien, Publishing Agency Johnson’s renomination and the World Crisis It is not unusual for the experts to be red-faced or for a doctor to make a wrong diagnosis or to have a PhD professor stumped by a freshman's question. Washington's experienced reporters and correspon­ dents have made so many wrong predictions, which is not all their fault because we have expected too much from them about their knowledge of human be­ havior. President Johnson's recent announcement was a re­ markable and courageous decision to make concern­ ing his deep conviction about peace in the Far East and world security. According to my experiences with the communistic nations. I do not feel there is any influence from the Russians to stop the Vietnam war. The Chinese communists are the masters behind this war. Unless they are willing to come to the peace table, there is no way for the North Vietna mese to get rid of the thousands of Chinese commu­ nist military advisors. Let me make an unbiased prediction. It is not we who will not come to the peace table during the next thirty to sixty days. The North Vietnamese may re­ fuse to negotiate faithfully. They may even escalate the war, commit more atrocities to our soldiers by the time the Democratic party's convention comes fl­ round in August. The nation will draft Lyndon B. Johnson as a war-time president. I have a child who is nineteen. I do not believe any father wishes to have his son go to war. Yet, this indecisive bickering for peace is a sign of weakness to Oriental politicians. I believe we have to pay the price for prolonging this war because we believe in this democratic system of the people's voice. At the end, freedom ana liberty will persevere while we suf­ fer casualties at the present time. Locals Mr.and Mrs. Jerry Reed spent the weekend in West Branch with their daughter and family.

THURSDAY. APRIL 26. IBM SMITH’S MEN’S WEAR Charlotte, Michigan �Vermontville -—Just a little town with a big reputation Vermontville from its beginning seemed destined to be one of the best known small towns in Western Michigan. Its popularity for the annual maple syrup festival has cinched that, but from its origin, the conceived plan of colonization, the fact that it was once considered as the home of what is now Olivet college, gave this little rural community a signifi­ cance which sets if aside from the usual small town. Vermontville might have been known from an in­ dustrial source too, had the railroad running north and south, which would have cut through just west of Vermontville's Main street, ever gone through. The roadbed can still be seen south of town running parallel with the main highway near the bridge. The railroad was never completed because of a lack of money. Not a town which mushroomed by industry of geo­ graphical importance, Vermontville has the distinc­ tion of being a well-planned community, planned by a courageous, bravely determined band of relig­ ious persons who took every possible measure to pro­ cure a permanent settlement in the wilderness of Michigan that would withstand the early rigors of pioneer life. Back in 1835 the Rev. Sylvester Cochrane, a Con­ gregational minister of Vermont, came to Michi­ gan with an eye toward planning to settle perma­ nently. He found the settlers so widely scattered that U seemed impossible that they might have either religious or educational advantages. So the minister returned east and conceived a plan of col­ onization, disclosing his plans to a group of pros­ pective emigrants. The following spring, March 27, 1836, a large meeting was held and the foundation was laid for of the Pilgrim Fathers. After a great many "where­ ases" and "therefores" were drafted and adopted the code of laws for the colony were drawn up. A total of 42 men signed them. Each member had to advance $212. 50, the price ‘ of 160 acres and one village lot of ten acres, and also give a note for $25, payable in two years, to­ ward Building a meeting-nouse. There were many other stipulations. A prohibi­ tion pledge was signed by all, a group of three a­ gents were appointed to go into tne western coun­ try and select a suitable location for the colony and . purchase the same, and a great many other arrange­ ments were settled. On April 2, 1836, S. 8. Church and William G. * Henry left Vermont with a cowhide valise of the Colony's money. In Western New York they were joined by Wait J. Squier. The trip they made to Michigan, bow they went from Battle Creek to Kal­ amazoo, to Grand Rapids and through Barry County into Eaton to find the exact spot to locate, has pro­ vided many interesting stories. But eventually they did make their selection, in a rich and fertile soil, in an area which produces annually some of the finest wheat in the State of Michigan. On May 27, 1836, the amount of desired land was purchased from the government and the village of Vermontville was platted into 36 lots, with farm areas located around the village. A public square was set aside at the center, which is still in use. The northwest quarter became the site of the first log scboolhouse, and later, the Academy, al­ though the first pupils were taught in a private home. The southwest quarter in the early 1860's became the location of the Congregational church, the northeast quarter, in later years, became the site of the Methodist Episcopal church, and the southeast quarter, devoted to "general use" was e­ ventually used as a ' In a comparative short time the village stretched out a mile long >m east to west with two rows the street, ten to 40 rods a­ , fuse was built. The log hous­ es had floors split out of white ash. roofed with peeled basswood bark. A ladder through a hole in place made of stone and clay, with a chimney of church. This was in charge of the Rev. W. U. Bene­ dict, the Congregational minister. The building, still in excellent condition, is known as the ChapeL The academy was attended by aspiring teachers from Barry and Eaton counties. In later years, when Vermontville was considered the site for a college, there were a number of residents who thought the influence of a "college town"wouldbebadforthei young people and promptly protested. Olivet was then selected, and thence Olivet college came into being. When Vermontville was first settled the nearest trading post and postoffice were located at Bellevue, but most of the early buying was done in Marshall Later the Marshall-Ionia road was cut through and a weekly mail route in the western part of Eaton county was established. The first local postoffice was established in 1840. The Barber State bank, organized in 1862 as a private bank by Homer G. Barber, was one of the oldest banking institutions in Michigan. Vermont­ ville's oldest church is the Congregational, organ­ ized February 27, 1838. The Methodist church had its beginning when a " class" was organized at the Brown schoolhouse two miles northeast of here. In 1862, at a cost of $1, 600, a church was built on that location. After 15 years the parishioners decid-. its presed to move the build! *into the 1 village at '* ent location on the rx least corner of the "village ._______ " Vermontville . ' square. had its first newspaper in 1874 when the Vermontville Enterprise was first edited and published. It was owned bv several different publishen in those first years,. and the name was publishers changed to "The Hawk. "” In 1885 it was purchased by two men who gave it the name of "Vermontville Echo." A couple of years ago it was consolidated with the "Nashville News" and is published in Nash­ ville as "The Maple Valley News. " When the colonists came to Vermontville more than 130 years ago they found the Pottawattomi and Ottawa Indians friendly. They were already making maple syrup, although their method was crude in many respects. Down through the years many changes have taken place, but fundamentally it is still the same little community. A miracle may one day make Vermont­ ville a city, but meanwhile this community is con­ tent to remain "a little town with a big reputation."

Uncles, aunts, nieces, nep­ hews, cousins and neighbors all lend a hand to hang buckets, gather sap, and even help us in the big cleaning up job afterwards. So far this year we've had help ranging from ages six to sixty-two. We've always made syrup for as long as I can remember. It came from both sides of the family. Mother told me that her grandfather used to take big tubs of soft sugar by horses to Marshall. He could sell it or trade it for something they might need at home. On my father's side, syrup making dates back to my great, great, grandfather. My father nas inherited all the equipment now. The sap is boiled down in one end of our garage. Before the garage, the evaporator used to be in a sugar shanty. The good old sugar shanty got quite slanted. It was beginning to look hazardous to we had to bum it down. Back when Mother and Dad were just married they used to boil the sap back in the woods in big open pans. Hard maples are the Idnd of trees we tap. The trees get one bucket on them when they're about six to eight inches in diameter. When the tree gets older it will probably get two or three buck­ ets. There are a tew old faithfuls that we hang 4 or 5 on and they're always pretty well filled. Before we hang the buckets we have to wash them. If you ever thought a pile of dirty dishes looked formidable you should've seen those. Eight hundred pails and lids. After having finally wash­ ed them, two people go ahead and scatter the right amount of pails and lids at the right trees. First of all a patch of the rough bark is chopped off then the hole is drilled. Pills are then put into the trees. I felt a little silly giving a pill to a tree but I guess they really work. The paraformaldehide pills slow down and kill bacteria. That heals the wound in the tree. This saves re-tapping, which we bad to do some yean because the hole healed before the season was over. The pills are poison but harmless because they dissolve so slow­ ly. Sometimes portions of the pill are still in the hole when the spile is removed. As I was saying, after the pills are put in the spiles are drove and the buckets are hung. As soon as the sap starts running we start gath­ ering. We keep busy because were tapping three woods. Here is where our trouble usually starts. Since it's spring, we're having these big thaws and the ground gets very muddy. I don't know how many times we’ve gotten stack up to the hub in sticky mud. We always send for another tract­ or to pull us out and it always gets stuck too. A­ side from this minor problem there is the cold­ ness. Most generally no one is affected by the cold because we all keep toasty in our long un­ derwear. When we get up to the sugar house we let the sap drain off into the storage tanks. From there it is pumped and strained into a smaller tank a­ bove the evaporator. Then by means of gravita­ tional pull and a valve we control the amount of sap going into the evaporator. The firebox under the evaporator is kept going by wood and coal. I guess more up to date peo­ ple use gas or oil but we always have wood o n hand so we use it. In the far end ot the evaporator impurities boil to the top and form a foamy scum that has to be skimmed off. The sap goes down and back through the flues over the fire until it's finally done. Dad tests it by seeing how it sheets off the dipper. If it's near done the syrup will drop off the dipper in sheets instead of in a stream or drip by drip. Checking to be sure with a hydrometer, he waits till it’s just right. He draws off the golden syrup into a ten gallon milk can with a heavy felt filter and a faucet at the bottom. Using the faucet, we can draw syrup off into gallon cans, half gallon cans, quart cans or any kind of commercial con­ tainer. And sometimes we draw off a little for our­ selves when it's real warm and it tastes so good. It takes approximately thirty to forty gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. Now we come to the sugar making phase. Boil the syrup at a high temperature; the faster boiled the better just like sap. The method we use to test it is to take about half a teaspoon of the boiling sy­ rup and put it in a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball upon prodding it with your finger, remove it from the heat. Next you stir and stir.and beat and beat until it seems to turn a shade lighter and it takes on a bubbly appearance. Now is the time to pour. If you wait much longer you'll find it harden­ ing on the sides of your dish, Now is when we'd pour it over the fresh snow or crushed ice. It turns waxy. Now is when we'd have a sugering off party. We used to go around the neighborhood and pick up peo­ ple, hayride style, and bring them out to the old sugar shanty, we'd have a big bonfire going, so everybody could roast hot dogs; then we'd sugar off. Usually however, the syrup gets poured into rubber molds of little men, little women, Indian heads, maple leaves and other things. I think Vermontville's Syrup Festival has greatly helped the syrup makers. Mother and Dad said be­ fore the Festival they would have to peddle their syrup and sugar from door to door in some of the bigger cities. Back then they sold it for $1. 50 to $2/00 for a gallon.. Now that the Festival has come along, people come to us for syrup and are willing to pay seven dollars a gallon for it. A­ nother thing the Festival has done for Vermontville that would be even better was to'put good old Ver­ montville on the map. The essay above was written by Miss Karen Benedict, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Be ne diet of Vermontville. The essay was a part of the requirements for a Maple Syrup Queen candi­ date. Karen will reign at the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival in April.

Although the General Uniting Conference that forms the United Methodist Church rakes place in Dallas, Texas on April 23, Michigan Conferences will not be officially merged in aspects of adminis­ tration until June, 1969, and local churches will not merge until laymen decide to do so. Both the now Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist women's societies have been informed, however, that officers should be elected before June 1 to begin terms in September. Therefore, both ex­ ecutive committees felt this an ideal time to bring to a vote any decisions on merging the local socie­ "Tee mpask *s«" ties, so that, if approved, elections could be made accordingly and without reversal. Whereas an invitation had already been given to the Women's Society of World Service to attend the April 25 meeting of the Woman's Society of Christ­ ian Service, it was recommended that this time also serve for this vote on union of the two sociietes. Each society will cast and count ballots separately, and provision will be made for absentee balloting. In the event that such union is approved, a nomin­ ating committee of two women from each church willoe named to prepare a ballot of officers. This meeting will be held at 1 p. m. at the Uni­ ted Methodist Church, comer of State and Washing­ ton, beginning with a carry-in luncheon. Mrs. A. F. Welch will present the program in the form of a book review.

S43-0760 �Village of Nashville planning for Centennial Celebration in -June, 1969 The village of Nashville will observe its Centen­ nial in 196C A centennial committee is already at work, and the Chamber of Commerce is to act as the correlative body. Reviewing a history of Nashville, published in 1880, it reads: "The importance of this young and aspiring village should not be gauged by the dura­ tion of its history, which as yet barely numbers a doz­ en years of activity and growth. The major portion of the land on which it was built was purchased from the government during the years 1836-37 for pur­ poses of speculation. From chat date until 1855 no improvements were made. A little later a mill was erected, as well as a few rude structures necessary to accommodate the men employed in its operation, and these remained until about 1864 the only fore­ runners of the future flourishing village. "In 1865 the village was first platted by Robert B. Gregg. In 1866 the Grand River Valley Railroad was projected, and the preliminary survey made. In January, 1869, the first train passed over the recent­ ly-completed railroad, and then began an almost unprecedented era of progress. The land embraced within the corporate limits of Nashville was origi­ nally purchased from the government." The larger portion of Nashville lies in Castleton township while the southern portion lies in Maple Grove township. According to history the early pur­ chasers in the Castleton area included Ichabob Clark of Genesee county. New York, Marion C. L, Pennimann of New London county. Conn., Horace Butler or Oneida Co., N. Y., Dimmick Bennett of Cal­ houn Co., William G. Sprague of Livingston, N. Y., John JI Pettibone of Washtenaw Co., Abraham Voorhes of Wayne Co., Alfred Warren of Washtenaw Co., Charles T. Moffatt of Eaton Co., Francis Moor of Castleton Co., and Lucius Barnes of Kalamazoo Co. Those purchasing the land in the Maple Grove area were Simeon Griffin cf Tioga Co., N. Y., Ben­ jamin Tate of Hillsdale Co., and Charles S. Briggs of Windham Co., Conn. "Pursuing its devious way through the central por­ tion of the village limits, " the history continues, "is the Thornapple river, a stream which, aside from the picturesque beauty it imparts to the landscape, serves a more useful purpose in affording an excel­ lent waterpower,, which has been for a quarter of a century utilized for commercial purposes. "The earliest plat of the village was made by Rob­ ert B. Gregg, the survey having been completed on the 2nd day of October, 1865 by Joshua Martin. " In a detailed report of the plat description it stat­ ed that the lots are 55 feet north and south by 132 feet east and west, noting a few exceptions. Main street and Queen street are 66 feet wide, and that all other streets are 60 feet wide. The alleys are 12 feet wide. Several addition were made includ­ ing the A. W. Phillips addition in 1866, the Orsemas Phillips addition in 1867, the Philip Holler addi­ tion in 1870, the Daniel Staley addition in 1871, the Alanson W. PhMlips in 1871, the R. B. Gregg ad­ dition in 1872 and the Orsemas Phillips addition in 1875,." Canneming the early commercial enterprises the history continues: "The years 1864 and 1865, espec­ ially the latter, were fraught with significance in the history of the hamlet. During the former year Leonard Stauffer became the pioneer in mercan­ tile enterprise. He erected a building on the site of the residence of Philip Holler, and, In connection with William Feighner, place in it a small stock of goods adapted to the very meagre patronage they were likely to attract, the rude structure doing duty both as store and dwelling. "The following year Robert B. Gregg, with a pre­ monition of the advancement that awaited the lit­ tle village, determined on surveying and platting the ground he owned. Mr. Gregg having carried out this plan, the lots were offeredt or sale, the first one being purchased by Enos Kuhlman, a brother­ in-law of Mr. Stauffer, who had become associated with him in his mercantile venture. "After this the forest was rapidly felled to make way for the log structures which followed the arriv­ al of each new settler. Among those who early be­ came owners of lots were George Boyer, Israel Wright, Ephraim Church and William Killen. Wil­ liam Feighner afterwards erected a building and opened a grocery store, while John Markler and William Parker were among the mechanics of the place. Dr. J. H. Palmer guarded the health of the hamlet, and was foe at least two yean without a rival. "A decided impulse was given to business enter­ prise by the erection of a grist-mill on the Thorn­ apple river by Eli M. and MVB Mallett, and G. W. Johnson. The project of a railroad had also assum- Main street. Mr. Griffith subsequently embarked in the grain trade, and in 1875 erected the brick building in which he now carries on business. About 1867, a gentleman named Reed opened a store in Nashville, but his mercantile career extended over a period of only two years. "Lewis Durkee was attracted to the village in 1866, and, in connection with Hiram Coe, e m barked in the sale of groceries on Main street. The railroad having been completed in January, 1869, he engaged in its service, in which he remained six years. Clement Smith began the practice of law in 1868, but has since moved to Hastings, and is now judge of probate. "From this time various professional and mechan­ ical pursuits were represented as the hamlet a d vanced, and in 1869 the Legislature bestowed a village charter upon it. This act occasioned much apparent surprise to the leading citizens, and no resident has yet assumed the responsibility of hav­ ing advocated the measure. The name it bears was given in honor of Mr. Nash, the chief engineer of the Grand River Bailey Railroad, although he was in nowise identified with the place. "The young lady who has the honor of being the first child born within the present corporation lim­ its is Miss Hattie, daughter cf Robert B. Gregg, whose advent occurred in 1865. "A clergyman was early summoned from V e r montville to unite in matriomonial bonds Mr. M. V. B. Mallett and Miss Alcesta Price, this happy e­ vent having been the earliest marriage in the vil­ lage. On the 4th of July, 1867, occurred the first national celebration in Nashville, when three thousand people assembled on the river-bank, east of Main street, and listened to the patriotic strains of a barrister from Calhoun county. "In 1874 the prosperity of the village suffered a check by reason of a serious conflagration which swept away property upon Main street valued at nearly $20,000. The result of this calamity was for a while a general feeling of depression, but a reaction eventually followed in its wake, and new and more imposing edifices arose in place of the old ones. So great has been the growth and suc­ cess of this village, numbering little more than ten years of development, that it now ranks as the second commercial and manufacturing centre in Barry county, and its course is still steadily on­ ward the upward. "During the year 1866 it became apparent that there were a number of children in Nashville for whom educational advantages should be provided. A notice was circulated that at a time specified, a "bee" would be held for the purpose of erecting a schoolhouse. The call met a prompt respome, and on the day appointed, before darkness ap­ proached, the schoolhouse was in actual existance. It could hardly be commended for beauty of de­ sign, but served well the purpose for which it was erected. After a more spacious structure had su­ perseded it, the former building did service as a Darn on one of the neighboring streets. The first school numbered thirteen children, who were un­ der the care of Miss Aggie Smith (now Mrs. C. M Putnam). The schoolhouse, which was said not to have been discernible from a short distance, so • thick was the forest, also did duty as a church and Sunday school room.' "The present school building was erected in 1868, and, although at that time apparently large and comfortable, the growing demands of the place have made more extensive quarters a neces­ sity. The teachers who have filled positions in connection with the Nashville school since its first organization are, in order of service by terms, as follows; Miss Aggie Smith, Mrs. Anna Lamb, Miss Marion Warren, Mr. Clement Smith, Miss Mary Ely, Miss Frank M. Wheeler, Miss Mary Ely, Mrs. Fanny Mott, Miss Alice Slade, Mrs, L. O. Crocker, Miss Hattie Burlingham, Mrs. Irish, Mrs. L.O. Crocker, Mr. Frank Lathrop, Miss Mary Barney, Mr. Enoch Andrus, Miss Alice McNair, Mrs.C. Van Arnam, Miss Alice McNair, Miss Emma Russell, Mr. C. Van Norman, Miss Alice McNair, Miss Mary E. Cory, Mr. T. T. Crandle, Miss L. Warren, Miss Eva White, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Miss Mina McCartney, Mr. Jay Boise, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Mrs. A. M. Flint,. Mr. R.W. Huntington, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Miss Mina McCartney, Mr. Barney Brooks, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Miss M. McCartney, Mrs. A. M. Flint, Mrs. R. M. Payne, Miss L. A. Davis, Miss Mary Gear, Mrs. A. M. Flint, Mr. R. M. Payne, Mrs. A. M. Flint, Mrs. A. J. Beebe and Miss Mary Hindmarch. " By 1880 the school superintendent was R. M. Payne and was organized on the "graded" plan. The school had gained an enviable reputation for thoroughness and excellence in all its departments. The early history of Nashville relates that "The first physician to establish ihimself in Nashville was Dr. J. H. Palmer who followed his profession there from 1865 until 1867 without a rival or a colleague. During the latter year Dr. C. W. Wickham came from Eaton county, his former home. "Dr. Wickham was followed in the spring of 1870 by Dr. H. A. Barber of Lansing who had been a prac­ titioner in Minnesota before returning to his native state. He was the first representative of the homeo­ pathic school in Nashville. "Dr. W. H. Young, formerly of Toronto, Canada became a resident of Nashville in 1870, Dr. W. H. Griswold, a native of Olivet, Eaton county, en­ gaged in the practice of medicine in Nashville in October, 1878, having formerly resided in Maple Grove. Dr. F. A. Jones began his practice in Nash­ ville in the spring of 1880. " Concerning the legal profession, Lewis Durkee became a resident of Nashville in 1866, and for several years was engaged in business pursuits. Hav­ ing during this time Y devoted much attention to the study of law," he obtained admission to the bar and entered on the practice of his profession. Abijah M. Flint, a native of Eaton county, came to this village in 1868. He made but a brief stay, remov­ ing to Kansas where be remained six years. In 1875 he returned to Nashville.

The Seminar has grown out of the department's recognition that the increasing numbers of high school students interested in composition seldom find music programs designed specifically for their needs. The Composer's Seminar, July 7 through July 20, is planned as a stimulus to the young student composer and as an opportunity to' study with an experienced composer. The two-week session will include intensive work in composition, orchestration, and contem­ porary music literature. Toward the end of the session, there will be an opportunity for perfor­ mance of selected scores by the seminar composers. High school students interested in receiving more information should write to Composer's Seminar, Department of Music, Western Michigan Universi­ ty, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49001. CONGRATULATIONS VERMONTVILLE on your With the emphasis on the seven warning signals of cancer, the American Cancer Society naslaunched its 1968 educational and fund-raising crusade in Barty County, with a goal set at $7, 934. 50. The local county crusade will continue through May 15, with Mrs. David Arnold, of Hastings, as drive chairman, and Mrs. Lawrence Weber as town­ ship residential chairman. Attorney Richard Hudson, president of the Barry County unit of the Cancer Society, states that the crusade will focus attention on the fact that too many people are not familiar with just which signs could indicate cancer. "While the public is slowly acquiring knowledge of the signals, surveys show that too many persons cannot name most of the signals. A recent study, sponsored by the American Society, revealed that 69% of those sampled could identify a single warn­ ing sign. . Yet, in a similar survey in 1955 the figure was 60%, while a Gallup poll taken in 1948 snowed on­ ly 51% could name a correct signal. "A nine percentage point gam in awareness of this vital information is most welcome, but is is a slow step forward over an eleven year period. That is why tne Cancer Society if stressing the knowing these signals." Plans for the all-out crusade include nationwide distribution of 40 million leaflets listing the seven warning signals of cancer. Every family in Barry County will receive the leaflet, most of them to be distributed in person by Cancer Society volun­ teer workers during the crusade. At a recent kick-off meeting township chairmen were named, and include: Mrs. D.

Joint worship service planned for Sunday The two United Methodist Churches in Nashville will hold a joint worship service this Sunday in what was formerly the Methodist Church at the cor­ ner of State and Washington. This past Tuesday at 8; 30 a. m., the former E­ vangelical United Brethren and Methodist denomin­ ations formed the new denomination at a meeting of the governing bodies of both groups in Dallas, Texas. The joint service on Sunday will mark the passing of the former denominations and the b e ginning of the new one. The proper name of the new denomination is United Metnodist. Both Pastor B. J. Varner from the United Metho­ m dist Church at the corner of F and Pastor Robert Boyer from bring short messages. Participating with the pastors will be Eldon Day and Ben Mason, chairmen of the trustees of the two bodies. Mrs. William Dean will serve as organist, and Mrs. Robert Boyer as choir director. Tne soloist will be Mn, John Simon, ac­ companied by Joe Andrews. Mrs. J. E. Smith will direct her youth choir, and the choirs from both churches will combine for an anthem. Several young people and adults from both churches will also serve in other ways. Each church will hold its own church school at 11:00 a. m. in its own building. "I feel that this will be a day to mark progress, " states Pastor Varner. "We have been two denomin­ ations with nearly everything in common but our names. Since 1803, there has been talk of merger. Now I think it is a great privilege to be part of this newest denomination, and I look for great service to God to come from this forward step. * Pastor Boyer is also pleased to see the new mer­ ger finally completed. In his past several pastor­ ates, he has worked closely with Evangelical Uni­ ted Brethren pastors and churches and felt the unity. These two churches invite everyone to worship with them to commemorate this historic occasion. This service will begin at 10:00 a. m. 1968 Syurp Fettival PENNOCK CONCRETE Nashville, Mich.

Kathy Skedgell and Joe Barrette, go into their dance in the all-school musical "The Boyfriend" which will run Wednesday, Thursday ana Saturday in the high school auditorium. --News Photo Mail patrons offended by pandering advertise­ ments can now take steps to curb such mail, P o s t masters Wilma DeCamp and Lawrence Frith said today in announcing plans for administering a new law which gives each family the right to decide that an ad u "erotically arousing or sexually pro­ vocative. ” When an advertisement sent through the mails is offensive on these grounds, a postal patron can ask the postoffice to direct the mailer to send no more mail to him and to remove immediately the pa­ tron's name from all mailing lists he owns, con­ trols or rents. To assist patrons, the Postoffice department has published a brief pamphlet--"How You Can Curb Pandering Advertisements"--which is now avail­ able at the Nashville and Vermontville postoffices. In addition to explaining how the law works, the pocket-size leaflet contains a form letter one can use when sending his complaint to the postoffice. The pamphlet explains that when a patron re­ ceives an advertisement which is, in hu opinion, pandering, he must send the ad, its envelope and the form letter, or one which includes its lan­ guage, to his postoffice with the words, "Request for prohibitory order" on the face of the envelope. Postmasters DeCamp and Frith said: "This new law should give some protection to American fam­ ilies offended by advertisements they believe to be morally harmful, particularly to their children. " "Last year the Postoffice department received some 140, 000 complaints from those offended by pandering advertisements. While in most cases tne ads were not legally obscene and were therefore mailable, they are often offensive and are usually not the type of material one would want his chil­ dren to read, " the Postmasters said. They added that because the law gives a mail patron the sole right to decide what is offensive, and does not deny others the right to receive the same mail, the Congress felt it does not violate Constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech. " While the patron's complaint will only be direct­ ed to the sender, the Postmasters believe that one or two complaints will provide substantial protec­ tion because "the great bulk of this advertising comes from fewer than 20 so-called 'smut dealers'' who are frequently swapping mailing lists. " If a mailer does not strike a complainant's name from this mailing list, and the patron receives a second mailing m 30 days after the firm has re­ ceived the prohibitory order, be may bring the matter to the attention of the postmaster issuing the initial order by writing him and enclosina tne second pandering ad withits (envelope. If the mail er still fails to respect the order, the Postmaster General may ask the Attorney General to apply for a Federal Court order directing compliance. Fail­ ure to observe the order may be punishable by a fine or imprisonment.

Guests were present also from Vermontville. The attendance at the meeting to see the special film about "Child Molester” indi­ cated the concern the parents feel in preventing such a tragedy from happening. In the discussion before the showing of the film. Principal Bob Steward stated the film was made a­ vailable through Mr. Pray, from Pray's Funeral Home in Charlotte. Mr. Pray was unable to attend the meeting, but had sent the film and some writ­ ten comments about it. Mrs. Redman, PTA President, talked to the group at the ending of the film, stating that the PTA would like to start a program of placing cards, with a picture of an upraised hand, in certain designa ted homes in every block in Nashville and V e r montville. This home then would become a place a child could go to, if there was the need for se­ curing help. Mrs. Dorothy Schutte will act as the chairman for this project and will need helpers to get it started. The PTA also asked Mr. Steward if be could ask the Board of Education if the film could be shown to all the school children because they felt it was so worth-while. In other business at the PTA meeting, Mrs. Red­ man reported that some Indian clubs, new basket­ balls and large utility balls had been purchased for the Queen Street School.

STATE SALVAGE A million dollars or more of state salvage and surplus are sold each year by the Purchasing Divi­ sion, Michigan Department of Administration. According to director Philip H. Anderson, every­ thing from asparagus to mattress hair has been sold to private consumers through the state's method of auction - bid selling. Sales of unwanted state mer­ chandise are handled by Douglas Dodge. In 1966, Dodge sold about $1. 2 million worth of salvage and surplus equipment including 1, 500 ve­ hicles and about 9, 600 used tires. Every agency in the state must follow an out­ lined procedure when disposing of unwanted or wom-out items. Items are listed on regulation forms and submit­ ted to Dodge. A compiled list is then circulated to all state agencies and institutions. Items on the list needed by other agencies are simply tra ns ferred. Merchandise not spoken for is then listed for pub­ lic disposal It is Dodge's responsibility to find buyers for the merchandise and get the best price. Some items merit personal trackdown of potential customers. For example. Dodge recently "acquired" 100 acres of asparagus. Inmates at Southern Michigan Prison grew the vegetable for their own canning factory. But the cannery is going out of business so the job of selling asparagus became Dodge's. A call to the Department of Agriculture gave Dodge a list of commercial canneries. The prod­ uct was quickly sold. "That was an easy one, " he said. A tougher problem currently facing him is disposition of "ap­ proach ramps" used when autos were driven aboard the Straits of Mackinac ferry boats. Invitations to bid are mailed to possible buyers on most items. Vehicles are sold at auction only to licensed dealers. Bids may be submitted either on specific items or on a collective basis. If the item's value is so small it is not consider­ ed worthy of listing, an authorization for agency disposal may be issued. The agency itself will then solicit three bids and sell to the highest bidder. If the item cannot be sold, it is destroyed and then sold for scrap. Many unusual items are among the hundreds of thousands sold each year. Anything of value is listed for disposal tiones and animal grease, by­ products of state slaughtering, are sold to com­ mercial processors. A team of hones, pastured at a state hospital, was recently sold. Airplanes from the Conservation and Highway Departments are put for bids. Fire towers, snow-mobiles, telephone lines, of­ fice machines and furniture, outboard motors and boats, chaimaws, farm equipment, marine equip­ ment, industrial machines and tools, chemicals, and even small auto parts are included in the "Ava liability Circular of Surplus and Salvage Prop­ erty" published by the department. There is no set date for auctions and specific items are obtainable only on an "available now" basis. However, the department tries to notify people looking for specific items when those items are available for bids. All items are sold on a "where is - as is" basis. Inquiries should be sent to the Purchasing Division, Department of Administration, Surplus and S a 1 vage, Lewis Cass Building, Lansing, 48913.

The Maple Valley Band went to the Southwestern Junior High School building in Battle Creek. Bands were present from the high schools in Marshall, Kal• amazoo, Albion and Battle Creek. The Band received a No. 2 rating, or a B at this state level competition. They performed three num­ bers and were given ratings on their total perfor­ mance for these. Other judging was done on sight reading for performing two pieces they had not seen previously. Their combination score gave them the No. 2 rating. The Maple Valley Band had taken part in the Dis­ trict Festival in Grand Rapids several weeks ago. At this competition they received a No. 1 rating, mak­ ing it possible for them to compete at the state leveL The Junior and Senior Bands will present a Pops Concert next week, Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 p. m. in the auditorium at the Maple Valley High SchooL Meeting scheduled to name Centennial committees Harold Christiansen, new village president of Nashville, goes over committee appointments with the council. Shown with Christiansen are James Varner, seated left, Henry Fedewa, Otto Dahm, Ben Kenyon, Frank Scramlin and Harold Norris, seated right. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Council discusses Village street improvement plan Thursday evening the Nashville council met in the village hall with all members present except Henry Fedewa who was ilL Harold Norris reported on the street committee's decision as to the streets which are to receive blacktop this spring. Included will be Reed street, Cleveland, Middle and Queen, while Gregg is due for extensive patching. It will take about six weeks to complete the work and will be started as soon as the repair work on the storm sewers in the area of the former high school building are made. The cost will be approximately $16, 850. Nashville's Main street, which is State Hwy M­ 66, is also due for blacktopping. Following that, the street will be remarked for parking. There was considerable discussion of cutting back on parking near the intersections to eliminate "blind spots. " This will cut some six or seven car-parking spaces. Using the east side of Central Park for car-parking was discussed but no action was taken. The use of the village dump and maintenance costs were again discussed, and garbage pickup and water rates were studied but no conclusions make. Village president Harold Christiansen has recon­ sidered, and Nashville will participate in Mayor Exchange Day during Michigan Week. Nashville will exchange with Vicksburg. Christiansen ap­ pointed the Rev. B. James Varner and Otto Dahm from the council to work with Al Smith and James Rizor from the Chamber of Commerce in setting up a program for that day, Monday, May 20. The condition of the Boy Scout hall and the roof at the Putnam Library were discussed. Nashville has a new police car, and a riot gun has been purchased for the police department. Justin Cooley was appointed as Zoning Adminis­ trator with approval by the council He will take over his new duties May 1. A meeting has been arranged for Thursday eve­ ning, May 2 at 8:00 p. m. at the Castleton Town­ ship HalL This is the second meeting for working out plans for the observance of Nashville’s Centen­ nial next year. George Vogt has been named Chairman for the Centennial Committee and he has urged that repre­ sentatives be present from the various clubs, groups and organizations in the community. It is hoped that various committees will be named at Thurs­ day's meeting. In the meeting held April 4, approximately 50 persons attended, indicating a decided interest in taking part in the Centennial planning. Mr. Vogt expressed his appreciation for the attendance and the enthusiasm shown and urges all who are inter­ ested to attend Thursday's meeting.

There is a prescribed way to dispose of these flags and the VFW intends to make a ceremony of this. Dale Maurer says that he does not know the exact date of the ceremony right now, but he said that anyone who does have a flag which he wants dis posed of may bring it to the VFW and they will do it properly. He also informs me that the organization will have new flags for sale. They say it is always darkest before the dawn. I really wouldn't know because I make it a point to a­ rise just as late as I possibly can and still get break­ fast. The kids at the high school seemed to get a big kick out of the presentation of the all school musi­ cal. They did such a good job of it that it would not surprise me to have them move to Broadway. They might last longer than some of the things that open in New York. Everyone connected with the production is to be congratulated on the way the musical was presented. They did a teal professional job of it. Debbie Gurd was trying to explain a situation to Amy the other day and got rather involved in the story. It seems that the Gurds and the Terry Edgers live next to each other. The Edger's little boy, Todd, who is about three, is quite taken with Debbie, who is eight. He announced to Debbie a while back that he intended to marry her. Debbie didn't want to give Todd the old brush-off but she didn't really think the marriage would work out. She tried to ex­ plain to Todd that the difference in their ages is just too great to make a workable marriage. She suggested that he marry her sister Karen, who is a­ bout three years old. Todd thought this over for a while and tnen came out with a solution to the prob­ lem. He and Debbie would get married and the first "sister" they had would be named Karen. The target - a member of the Maple Valley Jaycees. The thrower - a Maple Valley Jaycee clown. The result - lots of fun for all! News Photos Who? - Lee McMillen, clown; Billy Maker, target. For some unknown reason business at the JC dunking booth really picked up when Ralph Kirk got on the unstable seat. While Ralph was up there the baseball throwers had to stand in line to get a shot at paying twenty-five cents to knock him into the water. Many of them did it too. The best throw of all though, came from Miss Peek, girls phys. ed. teacher, who payed her quar­ ter, wound up and let go with a side arm that would make old Tommy Bridges look sad. Her aim was perfect and Ralph went "deep six. " Miss Peek turned, brushed her hands together and said, " It was indeed a pleasure. ” Carl Thrun, driving a classy convertible in the parade at Vermontville, stopped right opposite me when the parade bogged down for a while. I walk­ ed over to kid him about the classy car. I became duly impressed though, when Mrs. Thrun, who was riding with Carl, informed me that she was sitting in the exact same seat mat Bobby Kennedy had oc­ cupied just a week before. How about that? One thing that impressed me about the parade was the great number of horses. Back m the good old days (I used to watch Gener­ al Custer and the boys pass in review before the In­ dian barber union got to them), one not only saw a parade, but he smelled it. Vermontville's parade was one that took some of us back because it was a parade one could smell. There must have been almost as many horses as people. If the delegation from Potterville is any indica­ tion, the Nashville people are going to have a ball next year with their centennial celebration. Those folks seemed to be having fun. Mr. and Mrs. Dale Platte of Route 1, Vermont­ ville have one hen in their flock who should be stag­ gering. They don’t know which hen is to blame, but one of them produced an egg that weighed a full quarter pound. Mrs. Platte took a picture of the egg along with a regular egg to show the difference in size. It is a good thing she did too, because now she has evi­ dence. The egg? Mrs. Platte put it in the refrigerator where she could keep it for a while and impress vis­ itors, but her daughter Mary, took it out to look at it and dropped it on the floor, making a darn big omelet. Mrs. Platte said the egg had a second complete egg, ..hell and all, insiae it. she let me use the picture just to show that this is more than just talk. The crowning of the National 1968 Maple Syrup Queen took place Friday evening at the Maple Valley High SchooL Vermontville was the host for this occasion. Pictured here with Miss Denise Viele, the 1967 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen, are; Pat Wischmeyer, 1968 Maple Syrup Queen of Shepherd, Michigan, The new National Queen, Leila Hagen of Whitewater, Wisconsin; the 1967 National Queen, Sheila An­ derson from New York, Marlene Boehmer from Franklinville, New York, and Lyndi Moore of Chardon, Ohio. --News Photo "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P.

While I was preparing, I discovered the highest goal of all Asiatic religious beliefs is to achieve an idividual's tranquility for an eternal peace of the mind and soul especially in Taotism. The highest discipline for an individual's body and soul is Ying-Yang. These two elements to live exist harmoniously to implement each other in or­ der to maintain tranquility. This concept has been interpreted by the scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, and today even in medical science only when the individual's physical condition is excell­ ent can Ying-Yang harmoniously work together. In our fut moving society, it is very hard for an individual to maintain tranquility; therefore, we have to go to some resort areas to be close to nature. Tranquility It seems that nature is able to further tranquility and maintain our inner peace. When the individual a­ chieves this inner peace, he mentally is happy whichxtll affect his physical well-being. The har­ monious existence of Ying-Yang will create the in­ ner peace. Any self-greed, materialistic desire, self-centeredness will interfere with its tranquility and create unhappiness. Human beings will some­ time destroy each other because they have failed to live or survive harmoniously with each other. Once the individual achieves 'his inner paste, he will have no fear to face any crisis, even death it­ self. To achieve inner peace is not an easy task; it needs a high moral code, deep conviction of cer­ tain principles and a mote Important element, self­ lessness.

Almost equally comprised of people from both congregations, they celebrated the " marriagd1 of the Methodist and Evangelical United Brethren denominations which took place in Dallas several days before. ... Senior choirs from both churches began with the processional, "All Praise to Our Redeeming Lord, who joins us by His grace, ” the same hymn used in Dallas at the Uniting Conference. Anthems were presented by the Youth Choir, directed by Mrs. J. E. Smith, and from the combined choirs directed by Mn. Robert Boyer. The offertory solo was sung by Mrs. John Simon, who was accompan­ ied on the violin by Joe Andrews. Mn. William R. Dean served as organist. Pastor B. J. Varner spoke briefly on "In the Full­ ness of Time, " relating the many changes through the ages, of which both scripture and history tell, in the life of God's people and the Church. Pastor Robert Boyer entitled his remarks, "Thoughts on Church Union, " and spoke of the need to de-emphasize the small problems change may bring in favor of keeping the vision of the spiritual bene­ fits to be gained. Both pastors commented on the significance of the occasion after these years since 1&3, when informal merger talks first began be­ tween the early leaders. A ritual to commemorate church union used as symbols two small church buildings which were then combined and covered with one roof, and the light­ ing of one large candle from two on the altar. Ben Mason constructed the models and also represented the former Methodist denomination as president of trustees. Eldon Day represented the former Evangel­ ical United Brethren denomination in this cere­ mony. ; Debbie Green and Pamela Dean represented the -■ future generations of each church in bringing for­ ward the models. Ushers were Cecil Barrett, Max Kelley, Wallace Graham, and Fred Ackett. Daniel Varner and Mark Wheeler served as acolytes. Mrs. B. J. Varner prepared the wonhip folder. This service was planned by the Steering Steer Comcom mittee on Union of both churches, whic prised of the two pastors, Ben Mason, William Dean, Marian Pennock, J. E. Smith, Wallace Graham and Eldon Day. Women’s Societies merge The merging of the two women's societies in the Nashville United Methodist Churches was approved by a nearly unanimous vote on Thunday, April 25, 1968, at a joint meeting held at the United Metho­ dist Church on State Street. The Barryville United Methodist Women's Society of Christian Service declined to merge at this time explosive! I Chevrolet’s special savings bonus now adds more value to cars already giving you the most. due to its strength and situation but graciously offer­ ed its cooperation. The name of this new organization will be the Women's Society of Christian Service of the Nash­ ville United Methodist Churches. In reporting to Conferences or Districts, which are as yet not merg­ ed in administration, as well as in announcing sin­ gular continuing projects locally until September, and at other times when clarity is necessary, the names "The United Methodist Women's Society of Christian Service (EUB)" and'The United Methodist Society of Christian Service (Methodist)" will be used. The several circles of the former societies will remain unaltered for the present and until their members decide otherwise. A nominating committee was named to prepare a ballot for election of officers who will begin terms in September. This ballot is to be ready for casting at the next regular meetings of the Women's Soci­ eties of both churches. This nominating committee includes Mrs. J. E. Smith, Chairman; Mrs. Adolph Douse, Jr.; Mrs. Leo Marisch and Mrs. GlenardShow­ alter. A motion was carried to add to the slate of officers two delegates to Church Women United, one from each of the former societies. In attendance was a special guest, Mrs. Wilbur Williams of Lake Odessa, who is Michigan Confer­ ence President of the Women's Society of Christian Service (EUB). After the final vote was announced, she spoke briefly and answered questions. Commen­ ding the societies on this forward step, she related similar experiences among other groups in the state and nation. She remarked^ "We must be flexible and do things as we can for the group to make things simpler. Changes bring many questions to which we don't always have the answers, but answers will come in time." With the agenda completed, Mrs. William O. Dean led a devotional period. Mrs. A. F. Welch drew a well-deserved round of applause when she reviewed the best-seller, "Christy, " the story of a young missionary in the South which is based on the life of Author Catherine Marshall's mother.

Allen has an idea for a bit of sculpturing which is made up of many, many soup can covers. I don’t know how many be has at present, but from his des­ cription of the work of an he is engaged in, I'll bet he could use plenty more. It might be smart to contact Allen first though, because he can use only a particular type of can cover. The Braces have a new cat. Well, it really isn't a cat, but is mote or less of a kitten. The little thing seems to be developing quite a personality though. In the first place, the dam cat does not seem to get along with the meter reader man at all. When the Consumers man comes to the house the cat growls and carries on like a dog. This cat is real attached to the Brace children though, and be follows the girls wherever they go in play. When Mrs. Brace takes the kids for a ride to do the shopping or some such, the cat gets right in the car and goes along. The Braces are building an oven into the wall and there is still a bole where the oven and the wall does not quite meet. The cat gets into a game of hide-and-seek with the kids and scoots into this hole. A couple of times guests in the house have looked shocked when they saw the cat come walk­ ing out of the oven. halfway around the world; the people at home though, they expect to take care of themselves. Worse than that, we spend huge sums of money to kill people on the other side of the world, but we carp about spending just a few dollars to help someone at home. It is a strange world. I understand the VFW put over 100 stickers on bikes for the kids Saturday. It was VFW Light-ABike day and the members of the post put reflector tape on the bikes in the interest of safety. Little League baseball teams being formed •M* The people at the school missed the golden oppor­ tunity the other day when they had the boss locked in the John. They could have pretended that they didn't know he was locked in there and left him for the day, at least. Things always seem to go better around an office when the boss is not there. Superintendent Carroll Wolff got in the place and the door lock went on the fritz and be couldn't get out. It took Wayne Skedgell with a special lock pick to finally get the door open. I once had a friend whose little daughter locked herself in the bathroom. The mother stood outside the door for some time shouting instructions to the little girl (about 4 years old), but the door did not open. In panic the mother called the father, who was at work, and he came running home to help. Fur­ ther instructions on the operation of bathroom locks only seemed to confuse the little girl, so the f ire department was called. Just as the fireman stuck his head through the bathroom window the little girl turned the lock, opened the door and walked out of the room. I think the reason she came out was that she wanted to see the fire rig that was parked in the driveway. Someone lost a pair of bi-focal glasses at the Syrup Festival the other day. Postmaster Frith says that ' someone put them in the drop box at the past of­ fice. He thinks someone found them and turned them in that way. If you know of someone who lost his glasses at the Festival, tell him they can be picked up at the post office. The last day to sign up for the Little League is May 15, 1968. The age is 8 to 13.

I hope our legislators in Washington do some­ thing more than just watch the poor people march past. It is high time something is done. Most of us do not realize that there is a large segment of our population that is really in need in this, one of the richest countries in the world. The need close to home though, we tend to over­ look. People go to great ends to help poor people JUNIOR OFFICERS FFA ’ New officers were elected last week for the Fu­ ture Farmers of America.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien, Publishing Agency The damagei of the Red Guard NATIONAL NEWSPAPER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS 4 VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc. Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR 4 PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry 4 Eaton Counties S3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States >3. 60 pet year It is very difficult to assess bow much real dam­ age the Red Guard movement has done to the Chi­ nese Communist movement. In their official name, it is recognized as the Cultural Revolution. I wish to present the most recognized mistakes: 1. The whole educational system in Communist China has been disasterously interrupted for a period amounting to a total of 22 months. Regardless of the level, kindergarten, junior high and high school, or medical school, all the students were studying Chair­ man Mao's philosophy and disregarded their subject field. I think this damage will take many yean to recuperate. 2. Ninety percent of the former Chinese Com­ munist leaden and their industrial diplomatic, finan­ cial and social structure have been tragically reoranized, and ninety percent of the old party officsIs have been discredited, disgraced, or sentenced to death. 3. At the present time. Chairman Mao is able to control only the students under sixteen yean of age. Howevet, u be forces them to go back to school a­ S gain; he may lose his control to this last group, which is reallv the anarchy. 4. Chinese Communists always emphasize the Party controlling the military because milltery per­ sonnel are infamous for their corruption. Now Chair­ man Mao Tse-Tung has used his military power to make China a garrison state. Therefore, it creates the-contradictory statement of an international com­ munism. 5. The Chinese Communists have lost all their friends abroad except Albania. Red China is more isolated than ever before in international affairs. In summary, the Red Guard movement has proved that a true communistic movement can contain treachery, sabotage, theoratical persuasion. The last stage of the oommunistis approach is inevitably a military suppression and the total elimination of the inteltectual^roup, who in the communist eyes are the enemies of the state because they believe in the freedoms of thinking, expression, speech and publication.

Richardson Mrs. Myrtie Strimback celebrated her 80th birth­ day on Thursday, April 18. But such a busy person as Mrs. Strimback hardly has time to notice things like this, and she scarcely took time to lift her eyes from her embroidery work. LET US GIVE IT THAT LIKE NEW TOUCH • WHEEL BALANCING • BRAKE SERVICE WOODARD'S MOBIL SERVICE Nashville Ph. OL3-6003 Mrs. Strimback lives by herself near Highbank Creek across the road from what was known as Roush's park for many years. The park was a pet project of the late Orlo Roush. In fact, Mrs. Strimback lives in the same house for so long occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Roush. She moved here seven years ago last August from Hastings. A widow since 1940 Mrs. Strimback busied herself with flowers for several years, but more recently has had to confine her efforts to houseplana for the most part. But she does keep busy with embroidery work, and she has some beautiful work to show. Since moving to this location she has made five quilb embroider­ ing each block and setting them together. One is of the 50 states and each block contains the state's name and state flower done in the colors. Another quilt shows the. 12 months of the year, each attrac­ tively done in various colon, ana still other quila are of birds and flowers. Probably her most outstanding work is her em­ broidered "Last Supper. " She has made three of these, and the intricate work in the faces of Jesus with his disciples before the Crucifixion, on the night of his betrayal by Judas, is something of which Mrs. Strimback can be justly proud. Other work includes literally dozens of pain of pillow cases, round table cloths, towels and various other pieces. Mn. Strimback was taught to embroider by her grandmother, Mrs. Susan Shupp. "And if it wasn't Just right, my grandmother would rip it out and make me do it over, * she added, "I used to go home after school to sew carpet rags for my grandmother, too, although I never made a rug, " said Mn. Strimback. Up every morning at 6:30 a. m. Mrs. Strimback pun in a long day. She never takes a nap, and her bedtime is 10:30 p. m. The former Myrtie Hanes was born in a log cabin just a "stone's throw" from where she now lives. She moved into Nashville at the age of two with her par­ ents, William and Ann Shupp, attended the Nash­ ville school and played the organ in the Methodist church for church and Sunday schooL On September 20, 1906, she was married in Nashville to Lawrence Strimback. He was a farmer and they lived on sev­ eral farms in Barry county, near Hastings. Mr. Stiimback died February 15, 1940. Of the 12 children born to Mrs. Strimback, ten are living, Mrs. Martha Roush who lives across the road from ner mother, Mn. Velma Bryans, Mrs. Betty Lancaster, Mrs. Myr­ na Lancaster, Mrs. Rachel Wallace and Mn. Gerald­ ine Callihan, all of the Hastings area, Mrs. Margar­ et Rose of Freeport, Robert of Clermont, Fla., Rich­ ard of Santa Ana, Calif., and Harold of National City, Calif. There are 50 grandchildren, 60 great­ grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. There are five sets of twins among the grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Dinner Delayed? FLAVOR SAVER" KEEPS FOOD TABLE-READY FOR HOURS You'll atiii be able to smile after your hus­ band calls in late because you know that the dinner you prepared will stay deliciously ready to serve, done to perfection and still piping hot. That's just one of the wonderful things that happen when you have a new gas range. You see, the Cook-and-Hold Oven cooks food to your taste, then automatically turns the oven down and, without further cooking, holds your complete meal serving­ warm. Rare meat stays rare, your whole din­ ner perfect—even for latecomers. What other magical things can a 1968 Gas range do? Everything from "sensing" the doneness of your roast and shutting off the oven to precision "thinking" that makes ev­ ery pan automatic! rao-nsMu Outstanding 1968 Features...Same Wonderful Flame...See Your Bas Range Dealer, Todayl THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1968 �Professional Business DIRECTORY Church Directory N.

THURSDAY, MAY 9, IMS �Police use Chemical Mace Plan church Centennial The Board of Trustees, tne Official Board and the Centennial Committee warmly invite the public to the Kalamo Methodist Church Centennial Homecoming on Sunday, May 19, 1968 from 1:00 to 3:00 p. m. The church would be pleased to have you worship with them at this time. This promises jo be a wonderful experience. There will be worship together and this wonhip will undoubtedly bring fond memories to many as they sit in this most familiar church. No Homecoming is complete without a meal. Meat, potatoes and coffee will be furnished. Bring a dish to pass and own table service. Dinner will be served at 1:00 p. m., followed by the service. Dr. Harold A. Jayne, District Su­ perintendent of the Lansing District, plan* to at­ tend/ Kalamo The use of a tear gat-like spray by officer* of the law to temporarily immobilize an unruly sub­ ject is up for controversy in many areas. However, Nashville Chief of Police Donald Langham has, like other officers in Barry and Eaton counties, found it to be very effective, and laudes it as an ef­ fective. harmless weapon. Officer Langham uses the chemical spray called "Del-Defend", although probably one better known is manufactured under the trade name "Mace. ” "Del-Defend’ come* in a spray-type cannister, and when an officer has need for subduing a bellig­ erent person the spray can is aimed into his face. This brings teats to tne eyes of the subject and he is temporarily immobilized. The spray will carry up to 15 feet. Mr. Langham ha* used it only when the victim could not be brought under control by other means. The chemical can be washed away with clear water, and it* effect is of short duration. Police Chief Langham shows the spray-type can­ nister to Council members Ben Kenyon, Otto Dahm and Harold Norris. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Deadline is May 13 for nominating petitions The annual school election will be held on Mon­ day, June 10, 1968.

FARMER —don't miss this opportunity for extra dollars at planting time and harvest time. According to Michigan Experiment Station results, in cooperation with the Coopera tive Extension service and seed corn com­ panies, M 402-2X, a Single Cross Medium Maturity Cora has been an outstanding pro­ ducer throughout the state. —We have this corn in small flats at $15 per bushel (approximately 110, 000 kernels) and Medium flats at $20 per bushel (approx­ imately 95, 000 kernels). Using small flats can almost cut your seed cost per acre in half. Then comes your bonus at harvest time! With proper care and fettilizstioa this corn could easily out-produce your present hybrid by 10-30 bushel per acre. —CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO TRY THE CORN ON YOUR FARM? —Also remember, if fertilizer is $10 a ton less and you're using 300 lbs per acre, you can save another $1. 50 per acre.

Harold Christiansen written bv Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien, Publishing Agency BACKSTREET BAROMETER "AS I SEE IT” The status symbol and ■ our future progress ‘ In this social and economic analysis, the status symbol has become a driving force for an individ­ ual's progress; such as, the exclusive club member­ ship, European villas, the international jet-set, and other materialistic symbols. I strongly believe in a free enterprise system. All of us strive for profit and materialistic re­ wards; however, as a member of the press and an academician, it seems it will be disasterous if we emphasize our younger generation to build a future society based upon materialistic foundations with­ out love, affection, compassion, and religious be­ liefs. I firmly believe the "hot summer" riots are more from people who are seeking the status symbols and have a deep hatred against the Establishment. In a welfare society, on many occasions we are found to emphasize materialistic success without concerning ourselves about individual's feelings and self-re­ spect. It is so easy to be misled to a false pride in seeking the status symbol without a deep conviction of moral code and ethical standards. Human beings are not able to live on materialis­ tic status symbols only. One must conbine one's goals with humanity and a religious belief. The real cultural success of a nation or a race cannot depend upon the status symbols only, because the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, and the other Empires all have fallen down and become the ruins of the Ancient. But a man named Jesus Christ, who had no status symbol at all during his period of time, has achieved the greatest success in our West­ ern Civilization. It is the same way as Confucious in the Far East who has achieved the culture and the philosophy much more than the individuals who possess the highest status symbol. From rags to riches; from riches to rags; like a normal business cycle, but the spiritual and religious contribution will make our society a much greater society as well as a much more harmonious, happy society. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS &. VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc. Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR & PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry &. Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States S3 60 per year A Mr. P. M. Burgess of Hastings came in the oth­ er day and engaged me in a bit of talk. It seems that Mr. Burgess was a resident of Nash­ ville some years ago. As a matter of fact, he moved away some 70 years ago but he still remem­ bers a lot about the old town. He told me about the time when he was just a boy when a man was going to walk a tight-wire across Main Street. They stretched a wire from a saloon, located where the theatre is now, to a building where Keihl Hardware is located In those days they had wooden sidewalks and Mr. Burgess said the sidewalks were jammed with peo­ ple who came to watch the wire walk. When the wire walker was about half-way across the street the sidewalk, located where the cleaners is now, gave way and threw the crowd into a big pile-up of humanity. Mr. Burgess said, as he remembers it, a woman held a large piece of the sidewalk up for about twenty minutes while workers tried to get the peo­ ple out. She had fallen and a baby landed on her chest; just then a large section of the walk threat­ ened to crush the baby so she held it up. The wire walker turned around and walked back to the saloon. Mr. Burgess said also that his father worked at the Lentz Table Co. for a shilling an hour. He worked ten hours a day and six days a week. On pay day he took home $7.40. He was able to raise a family on this. I was really interested in Mr. Burgess* verbage. I have read in old papers, back about 70 to 75 years ago, references to shillings. I think the term must have been rather unique to this area. I wonder if other areas of Michigan talked in shillings, which would be half of a quarter. An Explanation Last fall Eunice Priddy and I discussed the possi­ bility of having a continuous exhibit of arts and crafts in one (or more) of the empty downtown stores. Mrs. Mildred Mater offerees the use of the Dug-Out and ir became a colorful corner spot in the community, with the various exhibits which were set up there. The frosted windows caused a stopping of the exhibit during the winter months, but with the wanner weather, the windows are a­ gain filled with a changing array of art materiaL Just last week, Loren Dingman offered the win­ dows at the Teener and these were cleaned «p and a display set up there. It seems that a word of explanation might be in order. In our discussion, Eunice and I felt that this was a way to show off and offer recognition to the local talents and also to dress up some of the emp­ ty store windows. We would like to change these exhibits about every two weeks. We would like to include arts and crafts and hobbies, in many dif­ ferent directions, giving an opportunity for all in­ terests to be recognized We feel very strongly that persons seeing what others are doing or nave done will be encouraged to try some creative ex­ pression on their own. These exhibits do not necessarily have to be con­ fined to paintings or drawings - they could branch out to include needlework, unusual bobby collec­ tions, wood sculpture, ceramics. There are still a number of empty store windows up and down the streets. Perhaps these others could also be used. Should anyone have a contribution of material and would like to help with an exhibit, please feel free to call either Eunice Priddy or me. Amy Boughton by john boughton He told also about a balloon ascension in which the parachute became entangled in a tree just as the balloon was getting under way. The balloonist was reluctant to drop because he knew the balloon would invert and go into the crowd and might injure someone. So he rode it out, working a valve eas­ ily to allow the hot air to escape and the balloon finally came down in a tree miles out in the coun - — Jerry Shoup tells me he got a birdie the hard way out on the golf course. Just as he drove his ball a bird came flying past and ran right into it. Jerry said the bird crash-landed and did not survive the mid-air collision. Harold Norris once hit a gopher in much the same way. Just as his ball went screaming down the fairway a few inches off the ground, a gopher stuck his head up out of his hole to see what was go­ ing on. WHAP - ! A very young friend of mine was explaining to me that she had had a particularly rough day. She was almost late to school, the teacher had balled her out for some reason or other, the school lunch was something she does not like to eat. "Just everything went wrong, " she said. "It must be the colored un­ derwear - every time I wear colored underwear I have an unlucky day. " Could be. The Future Farmers of America local chapter hon­ ored me by giving me the degree of Honorary Chap­ ter Farmer, at their annual banquet. I think most of us, from time to time, would like to try a hand at farming. There is something about that occupation that has an almost religious attrac­ tion. Farming, I think, brings one closer to one's God. I am certain it brings one closer to his govern­ ment. Amy says that I am a fine candidate for this de­ gree. She has trouble even getting me to mow the lawn. Letter to the Editor I feel that not only as mother of the Vermont­ ville Maple Syrup Queen, but also as a lifetime citizen of the Vermontville area and more recently of the Maple Valley community, I should express my appreciation of the last two issues of the Maple Valley News. With the exceptionally good coverage of the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival and the National MaphrSyrup Queen Contest, besides recent school affairs and items of historical interest to both Ver­ montville and Nashville, I think the Maple Valley News has been most interesting and that a pat on the back or bokays to the Editor should be the or­ der of the day from all of us. I also think it would be a nice gesture on the part of our Festival Corporation, If tt has not al­ ready been done, to see that copies of these'papers are purchased and sent to all the visiting Maple Syrup Queens, to have for a keepsake or for their scrapbooks. Sincerely, Edith Benedict.

Have you ever thought of the number of auto parts that can be utilized during an emergency? A list would include the following: Tires that'll bum for hours, warming you; sun vi­ sors and hub caps that pinch-hit for shovels; a radi­ ator that becomes a thirst-quenching canteen; seats; slipcovers and floor matt that will blanket you agarnst the cold or shut out the wotst winds; mirrors, chrome and headlights which, properly used, can a­ lert search planes as far off as 30 to 50 milesjcrankcase oil and grease that'll salve your face against searing summer heat, or protect against frostbite and wmdburn. Statistics point to 38,000 nighway fatalities in 1966, but it is usually overlooked that the family car can save lives too. In emergencies, your car is a fortress. Beneath its hood and within its steel body can be found the raw materials for family survivaL Everything you really need to stay alive is avail­ able, except food, but not one motorist in a hun­ dred sees his car as a survival kit. His first inclin­ ation is to toss the keys away and set out for help. Too often he's beyond help when found, a couple of miles down the road, dead from exhaustion, heat or cold. ty or dirty, it's easily filtered. Simply tear a small square of slip cover fabric or use a handkerchief to filter the water as it drains out. Your horn can alert rescuers as far as a mile down­ wind. The flat, round top of the engine's air clean­ er subs as a tool for digging trenches or throwing up earthern windscreens. Under the hood are upwards of four gallons of oil. A quart of oil burned in a hub cap in the still air of sunrise spews a miniature atomic cloud high into the sky--a smoke signal visible for miles. Lube oil used as a salve against searing sun or frosty winds can save your skin. Every hose converts to a siphon for getting at gas­ oline in your tanks; the windshield wiper tubing can be used as an effective tourniquet for stopping bleed­ ing; the crankcase’s dip stick--a skewer for hot dogs or toast. Unbolt the hood and you've got the mak­ ings of a leanto, a sturdy heat reflective metal one at that. The glove compartment door and sunvisors double as shovels. Slip covets, floor mats and rugs can be used as blankets or clothing. Convex gage lenses can be a sun focusing fire starter—or use your cigarette lighter. The list of livesavers in the average car is inex­ haustible. All you need is a little imagination. MAY 20-24 MON—Mexican hamburg/ bun, buttered com, fruit, cookie, milk.

If it hasn't been contam­ inated by antifreeze or other additives, that's water enough, figuring a quart per person a day, to last a family of tour for four days and perhaps a week with strict rationing. Your radiator's built-in spigot is its drain cock, located on the underside of the radiator. Hub caps pinch-hit for cups. So does the carburetor cup (the glass bowl beneath many carburetors). To rid it of gasoline and residue, scour it clean with dry sand, , nature's own detergent.

Just a few weeks ago the state convention voted to accept girls, clearing the way for Gwen's admis­ sion to the group.

The need arose from the in­ crease in fire calls the past month. There were sev­ en calls, largely grass fires. These ran up the cost an extra $1, 500. Richard Chaffee purchased the Nashville Locker plant on South Main street several months ago and sought permission from the council to enlarge the slaughter house facilities already at the plant. At considerable expense he has made numerous im­ provements, but encountered certain difficulties in meeting state requirements. He is still attempting to meet the requirements, but meanwhile has open­ ed a retail meat market at the Locker plant. He appeared at the council meeting Thursday evening to report his progress. Tbe Nashville village council will seek permis­ sion from the state highway dept, to close one block on Main street in front of the fire station in order for the volunteer fire department to hold a water battle on June 27. The hours will be from 6 to 9 p. m. and the occasion will mark the opening of the three-day Harvest Festival sponsored annually by the Fire De­ partment. in August tbe two-year garbage pickup contract with Ray Shaneck will expire. The council will seek bids and act on them so there will be no interrup­ tion in the service. The President's Corner By Nashville Village President HAROLD CHRISTIANSEN Tbe editor has asked me if I would take a bit of time to write down some of my observations each week. He said he thought the people of the village would be interested in comments from the President. In the future I will try to give you some of the high points of the village council meetings. While I was walking down the sidewalk on Main street on Saturday, I was almost run down by some young boys riding bicycles. There Is an ordinance against riding bicycles on the sidewalk. Parents should caution their children against riding their bikes on the sidewalk. Next week is Michigan Week, and Monday is Ma­ yor Exchange Day. Nashville will be exchanging with Vicksburg, ft seems that Vicksburg and Nash­ ville are both investigating the possibilities of be coming fifth class cities. During Mayor Exchange Day we will be discussing this with the people In Vicksburg. With the coming of summer the little league sea­ son is upon us again. There will be eight teams in the league this year so there should be plenty of ac• tion. It helps if the boys have a good crowd to watch the games and root for them. The local Jay­ cees with the help of some other interested citizens will be cleaning up the ball diamond at the race track for practice. Will see you next week. Harold Christiansen Nashville’s Main street, which is M-66, is due for blacktopping this spring or summer. When the work is completed the street will be remarked for parking of cars. There will be some seven to nine fewer parking spaces for automobiles, but the vis­ ion at the intersections will be vastly improved. The council voted $100 toward necessary equip­ ment for the little leaguers for their summer pro­ gram. Approximately 120 youngsters will be par­ ticipating. The Chamber of Commerce and the Maple Valley Jaycees have already given cash do­ nations toward the cause. The Jaycees, made up of young men from both Vermontville and Nashville, will also assist the Vermontville youth in promoting a summer recreation program. Several persons are interested in purchasing a par­ cel of land owned by the village near the Wade Car­ penter residence on Fuller street. Advice on hand­ ling the sale of the property, surveying, etc., will be sought through the village attorney, Horace Pow­ ers, oi Charlotte. William Gibbs, who will be active in the little league program this summer visited the council to discuss the use of the old ball diamond by the youngsters, in case no other playing field can be secured. In other business, the council approved the bills, and, with representatives from tbe Jaycees, discus­ sed the condition of the dam, polution in Thornap­ ple river, and other items of general interest invol­ ving the community.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency An ind ividual not a number At large University campuses and the residences of large metropolitan areas, the suicide rate has in­ creased rather drastically during the last decade. We all realize there is tremendous pressure on the individual's private life in this environment. The average students are not considered or cared for as individuals unless they are in the honor col­ lege or are in die academic or social limelight. The majority of students are average students who are i­ dentified only by their student card and social se­ curity number. Their personal feelings, their in­ dividual background, their personal life, their ro­ mantic affairs or their mental conditions are unkown to anyone except themselves. This represents die life of big metropolitan residents who are living in huge apartment bouses; work eight hours a day; ride on the subways four hours a day; eat T. V. dinners; do not know their neighbors; have no friends; write egotistic, self-pretense letters to their family mem­ bers back home. But in their inner parts, they are so depressed that some of them even try to visit their psychiatrist in order to seek relief. Many of us know that a private psychiatrist requires financial resources. Many of these victims are too poor to be cared for by a pri­ vate psychiastrist. This searching is a basic element of trouble in our urban society. Individuals deserve identity and self-respect. Care and affection are the two nest remedies for mental depression. The lack of person­ al relationship will make our society resemble a cold steel machine. It is most unwise for our bureau­ cratic government officials to go into extreme auto-, mation proceedures in human relations. When I was young,. I rebelled against my parents trying to arrange marriage for me. . Now that I am older, I rebel against the magnetic tape to arrange my future plans. by John bou We went to Detroit Saturday to attend the birth­ day party for my aunt, who is 90 years old' thisi week week. Aunt Ethel is a real fan of the Detroit Tigers (that is a bunch of boys over in Detroit who have started to play ball together) and somebody told the boys this. So they sent her a colored photo of the entire team and a baseball autographed by each of the players. Aunt Ethel got a lot of gifts but she seemed most impressed with that baseball. This same aunt and a cousin got on the elevator together with a little poodle which the cousin owns. There was an elderly gentleman on the elevator al­ ready and when the women got on with the dog. Aunt Ethel smiled at him and asked, "Do you like dogs?" Not on elevators," he grumbled. News Photo I goofed again last week.... This is nothing new for me, of course, and there is hardly any need for me to admit a goof. Somehow or other I got the idea that the little girl who won the bike at the PTA Fair was Cindy Furlong; actually the girl's name is Anita Furlong. That is a Furlong of a different family. Sorry Anita... I might have got the wrong name, but you did get the bicycle. That is what really counts. Memorial Day is coming up next week. This is the time we set aside to commemorate those who have gone before us and particularly those who served our country. . A friend of mine put it nicely when he said, "Ev­ ery generation serves its country... for the right to be a FREE person in a FREE country. " We would like to say thank you to all those who have served and to those who are serving today. Another friend of mine once said that perhaps we wouldn't feel the need of a special memorial day set aside to remember the dead if we had been bet­ ter to those people when they were alive. He said it would be nice to have a special day when we are just nice and appreciative to those around us.

Eighteen members met at the old depot in Charlotte for their May breakfast. A short business meeting was held. Reports were given and the club voted to give $25 to the Centennial plan­ ning for next year. The next meeting will be at the home of Irma Kraft. After lunch everyone drove to the Owens Illinois Glass Works just north of Charlotte. A charming young man talked to the group about the work done at the plant and then conducted a tour through the spacious building. The plant was built in 1963. In 1967 they employed 430 people and now 750 peo­ ple. They make clear and amber glass containers, bottles and jars. They make 7, 000 gross a day and soon will enlarge to 15.000 gross per day. This is one of 100 plants in the United States. Some make TV tubes, Libby glasses, plastic ar­ ticles, lens for telescopes, and scientific equipment The company is a combining of the Illinois Glass and the Owens Machine that made bottles automat­ ically and called Owens Illinois Glass company. He said May was "no accident" month and visi* ton were to all wear protective glasses and not touch anything. , Students from other countries are there often, learning how these glass articles are made. They also send Americans to other countries, especially Germany, to learn of them. They have plants in England, Italy, Brazil, Venezuela, India, Japan, and used to have a $2, 000, 000 plant in Cuba. The club saw the molten glass run into presses and come out jars and bottles of different shapes and sizes, checked and rechecked, and finally pack­ ed in pasteboard boxes, which they also make, and sealed carefully with heavy plastic to keep them clean and sterile while shipping to their destination. ..Triple IIftit To Hi|k Iririq Costs.

He also served over 4 years as Special Deputy Highway Commissioner of the Michigan State Highway Department. In announcing his candidacy, Mikesell said, "My tenure with the Revenue Department gives me an insight into the tax problems of the State Of Michi­ gan. With this experience I can contribute a great deal to the District by applying such knowledge to a more equitable tax solution for alL As both de­ fense counsel and as Prosecutor of Eaton County, i have handled hundreds of cases, ranging from sim­ ple misdemeanors to First Degree Murder. The de­ terioration of respect for law enforcement and the disregard of the personal and property rights of others is of grave concern to all of us. I will do everything within my power to enact legislation to rectify this situation." Mikesell graduated from Charlotte high school in 1942. After returning from active duty with the Navy in 1947 he worked in the construction field while attending the University of Michigan and Wayne State university, graduating from the Uni­ versity of Michigan in I960 with a Degree in Polit­ ical Science ana from Wayne State University in 1953 with a Degree in Law.

Stanley M. Powell is candidate for re-election ! State Representative Stanley M. Powell. Ionia Re­ publican, has announced that he would be candi­ date fot re-election. He will seek the Republican nomination for State Representative in the 89th dis­ trict, consisting of Ionia County, the nine northeast Woodard Mobil gas station onto red townships in Barry County, the four southeast town­ ships in Kent County and the cities and villages sit­ uated therein. Mt. Powell was for a long time a recognized and respected spokesman for Michigan's major general farm organizations, the Farm Bureau and the Grange. For many years he served as the highly successful and effective Legislative Counsel of Michigan Farm Bureau, and from 1932 through 1966 he was a mem­ ber of the Executive Committee of the Michigan State Grange and served as chairman of that com­ mittee for 12 years.

He served as Representa­ tive from Ionia County during the 1931-32 Session and as Delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1961-62. Since many of the problems coming before the Legislature have to do with implementing the new Constitution, Mr. PoweU's detailed familiarity with this document is very valuable. He was elect­ ed from the 89th House District following the reap­ portionment in 1964 and was re-elected in 1966. Representative Powell has an almost perfect at­ tendance record at House Sessions and committee meetings. He has never had an absence due to health or personal affairs and has missed only a very few roll calls and those were when some official du­ ty prevented him from being in his seat on the House Floor. A request has been received from the Recruiting Sub-Station, United States Marine Corps, Battle Creek, Michigan, to make known their desire to ob­ tain photos of ill men serving in the Marine Corps. They stated they are trying to bring their photo board up to date. They have a display of wallet­ size photos of Marines who are now serving on active duty with the address indicated under each man's photo. They would like parents to furnish them with a photo and the information about current address, etc., if one is available. These photos serve many purposes. Often they are used by newspapers with stories they receive in regard to promotions, etc. They have been placed on display in southwestern Michigan city store win­ dows, banks, etc., on special occasions such as Armed Forces Week, Veterans Day and the Marine Corps Birthday. Those who have photos are asked to send them, with the full name and current mailing address and the rank to: Sgt. William M.

B. 62, Mrewa Rhodesia, Africa 8th May, 1968 Dear Nashville and ex-Nashville friends. It doesn't seem possible that more than two years have flown by since I last left Nashville to return to Rhodesia! They have been (in most respects) happy, normal years—for it seems to be normal to have so much work that it constantly hangs over one, mak­ ing one feel guilty to even think of recreation or even letter-writing I Our Mrewa H. S. now has about 200 students in all four years, with a full-time staff of ten teach­ ers and a school secretary. Seven of the staff are Africans, graduated with degrees in U. S. A. One of these is a wife and mother wno teaches all the Chemistry in the upper classes as well as Home Ec for all the girls. All of them and the three of us white single teachers have great fun and fellowship together. You might be surprised if you walked through our school to meet four of our boys.- two midgets with badly deformed legs, an albino, and one who hurls himself along the veranda with his homemade crutch at a great rate, often vaulting himself from the ground up over the high wall, and always with a merry and rather mischievous twinkle in his eye! As they are all good-natured, asking no concessions for themselves, and the rest treat them like every­ one else with no bullying or ridicule, we all have happy times together. During sports periods they play indoor games such as checkers and dominoes. Last year when the Government Teacher Training College at Gwelo sent four of their students to us to do their practice teaching, I was delighted to find that three of them had been in my high school class­ es at O. Um tali before I moved to Mrewa. One was Paul Kasambira, one of the younger brothers of the Mr. Daniel Kasambira who spoke in the Methodist church in Nashville just before he returned to Rho­ desia with his family. And this year in Gwelo's group of four were two of our Mrewa pioneer class, u is a joy to see their growth and promise. While! was on furlough it was decided to change our school over from Latin to French, but in August 1966, the French teacher left. Since no other French teacher was available and I can't teach French, we had to change back to Latin. While I enjoy teaching the first two yean of Latin, I had done almost nothing beyond that. So I've been bon­ ing all die time to keep up with the upper class work, on top of two large sections each of 9th and 10th Latin and all the 10th grade algebra. To add to the fun I got 14 students through 9th and 10th grade Latin in one year, and now am trying to get three ■ of the 12th grade boys through 11th and 12th grade Latin also in one year; i. e. they hope to do four years' work in two. They are keen and eager and I DON'T with your Car e don't take "short-cuts" in aligning wheels. You know it's done right when you have them aligned here. Trowbridge Sales & Service 130 S.

They are a joy to teach but it requires extra periods on Saturdays and holi­ days, and keeps me on the jump to keep up with three Latin set-books. Speaking of Latin, reminds me of Miss Mary L S urine who taught me in H. S. Georgia Bassett of Lansing wrote me recently that Mrs. Ray Ireland had told her that Miss Surine died in February this year. I wondered if you had all heard. Faye and I have tried to get our lawn and garden nice, and even now we have lovely poinsettias, car­ nations and roses, but Mrewa is in one of the worst hit sections of a very severe drought area. Every drop of water is stretched and used over and over. We hope and pray that there will be enough for drinking and cooking so we can complete tne school year. We save the bath and laundry water and are trying to save the carnations and roses. One of my joys of late years is the large number of my ex-students (who are also dear friends) who are here at Mrewa in places of leadership; includ­ ing a H.S. teacher, tne school manager and his wife, the headmaster of the grade school, our min ­ ister and his wife, three grade school teachers, and the electrician. I feel like grandmother with my children and grandchildren around me. They are fine people and leaders in die church as well as in the community. Thank you for letters, personal gifts, and gifts for the work from Nashville and Barryville churches and from personal friends. I do appreciate the gift of the Nashville News, as it keep me in contact with you all. As a result,.Nashville is still one of my homes and you would be surprised how often I visit you all there. I just heard I had Mrs. Pfaff to thank for that. Thanks, too, for the gift of used, old Methodist Hymnals that came recently, as well as the brand new one for my personal use. They will bring great joy to many wno share in their use. Last Sunday evening we invited a newly married couple and his mother for an evening of music; records, guitar, vo­ caL How much they enjoyed it! I expect to leave for furlough just after Christmas 1969, and have all of 1970 in U. S. A. It will be good to see you then and to bear between times. Lovingly, Edith Parks. P. S.

Michigan Ave. Hertings, Michigan �Ten baseball teams begin 1968 season Memorial Day parade plans completed for villages The communities of Vermontville and Nash­ ville have made plans for the holding of Memorial Day services. The American Legion Post 222 in Ver­ montville and the VFW Post 8260 in Nashville will plan the activities for the observance. On Sunday, May 26th members of the American Legion Post in Vermontville will attend a special church service at the Congregational church. This service will be a combined service between the Methodist church and the Congregational church and both ministers will take part. The service will begin at 11:00 a. m. On Thursday, May 30. parades and special ser­ vices will be held at the cemeteries. In Nashville the parade will begin at the bridge at 10:00 a. m. Rev. C. C. Gibson will conduct the short service there. At the service dedicated to the firemen. Father Raymond Moeggenburg will take part. Chris King from Vermontville, will be the spec­ ial speaker In services held at the Lakeview ceme­ tery. Rev. Earl Frost will give the invocation. Members of the Junior Maple Valley band, the VFW Post members and Auxiliary, Boy and Girl Scouts and Brownies will make up the parade. In Vermontville, activities will begin at 9:30 with commemorative services at the river, with William Stanton presiding. The parade will form at the Michigan National Bank corner at 10 a. m. and a special prayer will be said at the Congrega­ tional church, with Wilbur Walsh presiding. Rev. Leonard Maunder will be the special speak­ er for the services at the Woodlawn cemetery. The Senior Maple Valley band will march in the Vermontville parade this year. The Tri-County BasebaU league will open their 1968 season on Sunday, May 26, with ten teams participating. The season will run through the sum­ mer ending on August 18, followed by a three game series between the North and South division of the league to determine the league champion. The Southern division of the league is composed of teams from Pewamo, last year's league cham­ pion, Portland, Vermontville, Lowell and Hub­ bardston, a newcomer to the league. Hubbardston will replace the Lansing entnr who withdrew after one year in the league. Hubbardston, one of the hottest baseball teams in the past, has regained some of its baseball interest with the encourage­ ment and leadership of such men as Al Cunning­ ham, Village president, and also Harold Case ana Keith Clark, who will act as co-managers of the new entry. The Northern half of the league has teams from Belding. 1967 Division champion, Sidney, Perring­ ton, Lakeview and Sheridan. The Tri-County league, starting their twelfth consecutive season has been scouted regularly by major league scouts for the past two years. Last year the Detroit Tigers signed Tim Grisdale, Per­ rington pitcher, to a Tiger contract and is now pitching in the Tiger farm system. As in the past, the West Michigan Umpire's As­ sociation will furnish the umpires for the league. Spec ial crop p I anting program will be he Id EXTENDED SCHOOL A 12-month school year will be adopted by the Durand School District in the fall of 1969. The dis­ trict, located between Flint and Lansing, has an enrollment of 3, 000. Progress of the extended school year will be closely observed by professional educators and school officials throughout the state. It is believed to be the first year-round program used by a Michigan district since 1934. Although similar plans are under study, Durand is the only district to begin definite implementation of such a system. Details have to be worked out, but the general concept is that students will attend only the 180 days of school per year required by law. Vacations would be staggerea to smooth operation of the plan. A committee of educators, civic leaders and par­ ents will determine the most workable program. Problems such as coordinating vacations for fam­ ilies with many school children and increases in teachers' salaries will also be studied. The com­ mittee will consider four basic programs and vari­ ations from each: an 11-month operation; a quar­ terly system; a tri-mester system; and a "stagger­ ing-type” plan which involves a complex system ofclasses. Reduction in overall costs is usually cited by ad­ vocates of a 12- month school year. Arguments in favor of such a plan include: use of school buildings throughout the year; full-time employment of teachers; smaller classes; diminishing need for new buildings; full use of facilities by communities. But it is not assured that these benefits will result. While favoring a pilot program like Durand's, the Michigan Education Association worries about pitfalls of ithe 12-month system. Rather than the tour-quarter system or the 11-month operation, the MEA feels an "extended summer school program" is more effective. Karl Ohlendorf, assistant executive secretary of the MEA, points out that while the association fa­ vors experimentation in education, studies in Geor­ gia, Florida and California have largely disproved that cost-savings theory. However, the most re­ cent study is 10 years olo. All have been conduct­ ed in warm climates, which adds air conditioning to the costs of summer sessions. Ohlendorf admits, "Just because the plans haven't worked in other areas does not mean that it won't work in Durand. But expected savings won't necessarily occur. * There is much evidence to support the MEA's con­ tention. Tear-round sessions can cause many problems for both school district and families. Vacation scheduling becomes difficult. New schools must still be built near new residential areas, or pupils must be transported to existing facilities, an ex­ pensive operation. Janixon do not have the summer months for Involved maintenance work on floors, desks, plumbing, etc. . Cora foe both labor and overhead rise when schools are open all year. Students who attend school for 11 month periods could conceivably graduate at 14 years of age. This would cause problems in employment and entering college. Absenteeism is likely to rise. With one-fourth of all pupils always "on vacation, " there may be A giotei temptltloQ among thooe tfn/Vrtft in yJhna] to skip rt asset. For these and ocher reasons, the MEA favors ex­ School districts benefit since officials can use summer months to plan curricula, programs and policies for the coming school year. People bene­ fit since they can utilize school facilities for en­ richment programs, recreation, work acceleration and student makeup for loss of credit. The conventional nine-month school year e­ volved when society was agriculturally oriented. Youngsters were needed during the summer to help with the planting, unding and harvesting of crops. This need is no longer important, but the ninemonth school system has remained. School officials in Durand note that the yearround system is currently in operation in New York and Florida. Community and teacher participation in planning the Durand program may make it more acceptable. If the move does prove successful, oth­ er Michigan districts will certainly consider adopt­ ing the 12-month system. Ame r lean Legion to hold public in it iat ion John Wood, Eaton County Commander of TheAmerican Legion, has announced, as The American Legion membership increases rapidly by returning Vietnam veterans,, there will be a public initia­ tion of all new members at the Charlotte high school football field, May 25, at 7:00 p. m.

( He was surprised to see us but not so surprised •that he couldn't think on his feet. He stood there with his arms full of evidence and said, "Look what I picked in my own back yard." Amy and I both expressed pleasure that be had such pretty flowers in nis yard and be went away, no doubt thinking we are a lot dumber than we really are.. ? . II \ George Kellogg stopped in Saturday afternoon to report to me that four Kids were sitting in a canoe beside the road where Thornapple Lake road crosses the rivet. These kids waved him down and asked him to please call me to tell me where they were. I bad put them in the river at the dam and told them that I would leave the station wagon at the bridge at Greggs Crossing. Since these kids are from out of town (they are senion at Michigan State)and didn't know Greggs Crossing from a cross-eyed cat, I told them to go until they came to the fiat bridge. Somehow they completely missed the fiat bridge and went to the second one. Perhaps the fact that two of the kids are boys and the other two are girls had something to do with their going under abridge and not even seeing it.____ Amy and I went to the Product of the Year Award luncheon Friday. I am on the committee, so I thought I should be there. I'm glad we went too, because it was a beautiful lunch. The product of the year is a device manufactured by the Saginaw Steering Gear Division of General Motors. They have perfected a new lock to lock the wheel and the shift lever of an automobile. More than fatty experienced rug hooken in au­ thentic costumes will demonstrate their craft from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. on the Village Green at Green­ field Village on June 9, according to a release from the Ford Museum. Rugs will be on display at that time. As this is being written, the last word I have on Sam Sessions is that he has qualified for Indy. A day or so ago he hit the wall as he was attempting to qualify. Sam has had a bit of bad luck with that track. For two years in a row he has not been able to get the car out to qualify because of mechanical difficulties. - Notice - by John boughton At least be was able to walk away from the car after it hit the wall, so Sam is all right. Sometimes those mechanics can get a car back together after it takes quite a banging around. Good luck to Sam this year. We would like to mention here what a fine job of school news reporting we have had this year from Vickie Lundstrum. We have had so many nice com­ ments about this column and we have been pleased to have this additional school news. Thanks, Vick­ ie, for a job well-done. Army Private Gearold J.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Enjoy each other’t company When I was in Washington the ocher day, I saw two groups picket in front of the White House. One yelled for Black Power; the other raised the flag and said, "We shall kill all the Red sympathizers. * These incidents have caused me deep thinking as to how similar these groups are. First, they all would like to destroy each other. One considers the white men are not suited for survival; the other feels no one should be permitted to live if one is not 100 percent proof anti-communist. The Chinese Communisa celebrated the late President Kennedy's death for a period of three weeks in Peking, and the leader of the extreme right group expressed a sense of pleasure on the same occasion. The tragic death of a man, Manin Luther King, has been celebrated both by the Chi­ nese Communisa as they proclaimed, "we shall joy for the achievement of justice to the racial traitor and by the extreme right group who also considered justice was done for a no-good Negro trouble-mak­ er. Most extreme groups who use smear attacks arc happy to dig into their political enemies' personal background. Both of them are not willing to discuss the issues by the personality part of these groups. They are anxious to act as private detectives tor blackmail pteposea. However, they will exercise their abusive authority to choke off the freedom of thepress. The membeo of these two groups are most un­ happy beings. They either are mentally ill or emotiooally disturbed. They ay to use this political ac­ tivity as a novelty as a safety valve to maintain their partial sanity. Both of these groups will not compromise in any issue. They advocate and pro­ fess for 99. 7 pure with double standards of their moral code. Most of these groups are willing to take advantage of their financial gains. The de­ manding of high political contributions and the use of these funds for their private personal use are com­ mon. I do realize a nation cannot survive without the extremists. However, the extremisu alienate the 80$S> of the neutral people who have no political knowledge or ambition. Extremisu also discourage the majority of people to participate in politics be­ cause of the fear of personality assertion. I think these two groups are menaces to society. Especi­ ally, at the present time, they spend a great deal of fortune trying to infiltrate each other. Therefore, it will be a aemendous service to the public life to expose these sadistic, mentally unbalanced extremistsbefore they destroy our democratically stru c Joseph Stalin carried a membership card of the Zarist secret police. Therefore, to him either way, win or lose, the communist party in Russia is not im­ portant. Today, I think we win fare the same dif­ ficulties in our government affairs. If we look deep­ er into our left wingea who are identified as patri­ otically conservative and are membeo of tbs fed­ eral powen of investigation, they are having a tremendously important roll in leftwing organiza­ tions. I sincerely hope that the majority of the pub­ lic will recognize tne dangerous kind of tendency which is the devise of foreign powea who are try­ ing to destroy the soundness of our demoocratic slt- If you have... been on a trip... entertained guests ... celebrated a birthday... married your secre­ tary... caught a big fish... moved... had a baby.. sold your cows... bad an operation... bought a car... painted your bouse.. had company.. .been married... cut a tooth... died... sold out... been robbed... been shot...

STOP HERE FOR TOP MEAT BUYS Letter to the Editor The following is a letter received by Mrs. Clar­ ence Shaw from Rev. Wendell Bassett, Executive Director in the United Methodist Church. Dear Bernice, This is a case of where a "hobby interest" b e comes a vocation. It is the third time in my life. First, my interest in the church and her youth functions took me from the service department of an automotive manufacturer, into the Christian ministry. Second, my attraction and activity in inter-de­ nominational work took me into the Michigan Coun­ cil of Churches as its Executive Director. This fol­ lowed two years as the president of the Council. Third, my interest concern for the aging of the church-related homes that care for them brought me into close ties as secretary of Haven Hubbard Home for fourteen years, ana as secretary-treasurer of the Central Committee - Midwest Homes cover­ ing twenty states. Now the call by the General Board of Hospitals and Home Ministries of the new United Methodist Church, as associate director in the department of Promotion and Church Relations. The major offices of the United Methodist Church are in Nashville, Tennessee, New York, Washing­ ton, D. C., and Evanston, Illinois. The Board of Health and Welfare Ministries hold office at 1200 Davis Street in Evanston. We will be living just one block away at 1121 Church Street. My work will take me from California to New York as a guiding counselor to the former Evangeli­ cal Unitea Brethren Church Homes for Children and Aging during the union-transition period. Other as­ signments will be for the development of Health and Welfare Ministries organizations in all annual conferences of the new church. The General Board of Health and Welfare Minis­ tries is the official agency of the United Methodist Church providing direct services to persons in need. These ministries are carried through nearly 300 health and welfare agencies related to the Board. They include hospitals, homes for the aging, homes for children and youth, and homes for business wom­ en in 43 states and the District of Columbia. The full-time personnel required to staff these health and welfare agencies number approximately 50,000, with an additional 16, 000 docton and part-time staff. These persons, together with a great army of volunteen, provide a combined force through which the church's healing ministry is brought to those in need. Approximately three million people are help­ ed by these ministries annually. We will move July 1. 1968. Transition of posi­ tion is July 15, 1968. Greetings and love, Wendell (Rev. Wendell C. Bassett, D.D. Executive Director) THURS. AND SAT 9 A.M. - 5:30 P. M. FRIDAY 9 A.M. to 9 P. M.

Burton, D, who served in the Michi­ gan Legislature during 1965-66 has announced his intention to seek te-election as representative from District 56 in primary and coming elections..! Mt. Burton, who co-sponsored many bills benefi­ cial to the people of the state of Micnigan, said, ” I am unduly alarmed at conditions in the state and nation today, when at any moment a neighbor's house may t>e put to the torch. We need represen­ tatives who are concerned with this and other acts of violence and the needs of our elderly citizens. These are some of the reasons I am seeking re-el­ ection to the office I once held. " He said, "One of the bills of which I co-sponsored in 1965 was a bill enabling senior citizens to obtain $2, 500 tax "exemption on homes w h 1 c h have less thana $20, 000 cash value. District 56 embraces all of Eaton County except Oneida Township and the city of Grand Ledge, and includes Calhoun County with the cities of Marshall and Albion including Lee, Marshall, Marengo, Fre­ donia, Sheridan ana Clarence Townships. Mr. Burton bases his candidacy as the "people’s choice, ” one who knows and understands the prob­ lems in the State of Michigan, and feels, if elected he will endeavor to help save the State thousands of dollars now being spent by our State Legislature which includes high salaries for senators and repre­ sentatives. His endeavors in various fields include work in ce­ ment plants, railroads, foundries, department stores and farming provides him with a better knowledge of every day problems which he feels is a necessary in­ fluence in our State CapitoL ______ Charlton Park will be open to the public, start­ ing Memorial Day. There will be a charge to enter the park. A daily permit is $1. 00 and Barry County residents may buy annual permit for $3. 00. Although there will be no camping, many other popular activities will be available. Picnicing, swimming and fishing will top the list. "Grandpa" Birch, a long time Indian and park resident, will return. Mr. Harvey Versteeg has been named Museum Director. He will help develop the museum village. One of the first activities for the public will be an old fashioned barn raising, hopefully in early July. CLAUDE E. BURTON Mindful of every need, heedful of every wish Mi. Burton resides on a 232 acre farm near Belle­ vue and has developed it with hard work into what is known as Squash Hill and which has attracted people from 28 states since 1962 during the months of Sep­ tember and October. He has many civic interests and is currently president of the Eaton County Histor­ ical Society, Master and Grange Deputy of the Eaton County Grange. He is a member of the State Affairs Committee of the Michigan State Farm Bureau. We deeply honor the confidence placed in us at time of sorrow. Faithfully we observe every wish, meet every need, including a regard for financial consideration.

MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 196B 013-2511 BINOCULARS BUXTON Jewelry Boxes �George Frith named to village Council George Frith was appointed Nathville village trus­ tee Thursday evening by village president Harold Christiansen. He replaces Henry Fedewa who died May 13 while serving his second term on the coun­ cil. Frith will serve until the next election inMarch 1963. The appointment was confirmed by the coun­ cil Frith was sworn in by village clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU. Christiansen appointed Sam Hamilton to the board of appeal which served in conjunction with the Zoning Commission. Hamilton will replace Christiansen'who was a member of the board at the time he became village president. The council voted to refund a $60 bond to J i m Erwin. It is understood this will be returned to the village next September. Erwin, street superinten­ dent, was arrested last month in connection with the malicious destruction of property under $100 and on an assault and battery charge which ensued. Erwin has been cleared of the assault and battery charge, but the malicious destruction of shooting a dog will come up during the September term of court. Erwin was following instructions of Police Chief Don Langham at the time of the incident. Upon advice of Village Attorney Horace Powers of Charlotte, the village will accept offers, in writ­ ing, on a piece of property owned by the munici­ pality near the Wade Carpenter residence on Fuller street. The land is approximately 350 by 200 feet. A committee of Harold Norris, Otto Dahm and Frank Scramlin was appointed to handle the details. The "S" curve over the New York Central rail­ road on East Reed street has been revamped to al­ low better visability. School buses and other large vehicles can now approach the crossing in a more direct manner and can view the track both left and right. The new arrangement win, however, slow down traffic at this point. In the future restrictions concerning parking o n the village streets between the hours of 2 and 6 a. m., parking in aUeys, and, in a few instances of parking between the sidewalk and pavement, win be strictly enforced. For financial reasons the village some time ago decided to forego work on aHeys throughout the vil­ lage, especially in the removal of snow. However, they are not to abandon them, and no property own­ er is to block off any alley. The village will fur­ nish chloride to anyone who wishes to spread it in aHey but the work wiU not be done at tne expense of the village. The street department wHl do what it can to assist in maintaining the alleys, but other work will be given priority. In view of the fact that as many as 100 calls a week are coming in concerning dogs running at large in the village, the police department warns dog owners they must keep the animals restricted at all times. Gardens are Being overrun, and shrub­ bery and flowers are suffering extreme damage.

E. Smith and Mary Cary. Mr. Randall Dekker, social worker with the Bar­ ry Extension Unit, made an evaluation of the clin­ ic's operation in Barry County during the past six months. The clinic personnel other than Mr. Dekker includes: Mr.. John Hocking, psychologist; Dr. Crea­ tor, psychiatrist, on a once-a-month basis; and Mrs. Dorothy Barnum, secretary. The staff time has been primarily demoted to diag­ nostic services. During this first six-month period there have been severity-five referrals for service. Forty-two families have been served and there is presently a waiting period for service of approxi­ mately three months. It would help the clinic if people who are unable to keep appointments would let Mrs. Barnum know prior to their appointment. This way someone else may be scheduled to fill the appointment time. While it is felt that the operation has been sue cessful, there are still many needs to be met. The offices presently being usefl are provided by the Special Education Office. More sound proof space is needed. The next meeting of the committee will be June 10th at 8:00 p. m. tn the Special Education office. Mrs. Gerald Kent and Mrs. Ben Kenyon, co­ chairmen for the 1968 Cancer Drive wish to thank everyone who worked on the Drive and to everyone in the village whp gave so generously.

N., general chairman of the topical flouride committees. Clinics are scheduled in Woodland, Hastings, Middleville, Delton and Nashville. Nashville's clinic will be held at the Fuller Street school, Aug­ ust 20 through the 28th. About 775 children are enrolled in the program, which consists of 4 visits to the clinic. At the first visit, the teeth are cleaned and a solution of flour­ ide is applied directly to the surfaces of the teeth. The flouride application only, is then repeated on the next three clinic visits. Although topical flouride reduces tooth decay by about forty percent it should not be considered a substitute for regular care of teeth at home or by the dentist. It is still necessary, for children to brush their teeth thoroughly, particularly after meals, avoid between-meal sweet snacks, and vis­ it their dentist regularly for professional care.

It is a great accomplishment just to get into the big race at Indy. To finish it is really something. Only the very top race drivers of the world are able to qualify for the SOO and of those who get into the race a good number do not finish it for one reason or another. Sam was not only good enough to qualify this year, but be was able to stick it out through the race... something that takes a bit of doing and not just a little luck. Sam has had some bad luck at Indianapolis in the past. He has not been able to qualify in past years because of troubles with the cars. One year it w as clutch trouble and next motor trouble. Even this year it looked bad when the wind took him into the wall as he attempted a qualifying run on Saturday. But things came out right for Sam. He was able to qualify and he was able to come in 9th in the big race.... and that is really something. Some big city friends of ours came to see us on Memorial Day and guess what they got the biggest kick out of? The parade. These people are originally from the New York area and they now live in Kalamazoo. They and their kids never get to see a Memorial Day parade or to listen to the speeches in the cemetery. They were real impressei by john boughton A friend of mine expressed wonder as to just which day was summer this year. He said he is almost cer­ tain it is one of the days just past but he is not sure just which one it was. I’m not sure either, but I do think he is right a­ bout it being one of those days when the tempera­ ture got up m the seventies. It hardly seems possible that this is the last week of school. One of the trees in our yard does not yet have all its leaves. Maybe this is just a late year. I heard4 professor from Michigan State saying the other day that he believes we have changed the climate of toe entire world with the polutants we are putting in the air. He thought that perhaps the jet planes nave made a layer of poluting gas in the atmosphere and this makes a filter that blocks out certain rays of the sun, making the world cold. I hope he is wrong, but his theory sounds logical. The big "It's A Girl! ” sign in Erwin's Stop &Shop this week made the announcement bright and clear. Congratulations are in order for the couple. Veterans are eligible for educational assistance A special opportunity to earn and learn is now a­ vailable to Vietnam veterans, the Veterans Admin­ istration advised recently. Special non-competitive "transitional appoint­ ments" now permit new veterans with limited edu­ cation to go to school under the GI Bill and to work for the Government at the same time. Robert M. FitzGerald, manager of the Veterans Administration's regional office in Detroit, explain­ ed that the non-competitive appointments can be made through the first five Civil Service grades-providing the veteran has less than one year of training beyond high school and has the job qualifi­ cations required. To secure such an appointment, the veteran must agree to take at least the equivalent of one full school year of education or training. If this does not give the veteran jt highschool diploma, or its equiv­ alent, an expanded program would be worked out. While the Government has several pay systems, the general salary schedule for the first five Civil des runs from $3, 776 to $5, 565 -- higher scheduled pay raise this July. In addile veteran going to school, say half . d receive another $60 a month under the GI BilL The rate is $130 a month for a full time single student. Jaycees will sponsor local fishing contest All boys and girls who live in the Maple Valley School district are eligible to enter a fishing con­ test this summer sponsored by the Jaycees. There is no entry fee. The fish must be caught by the boy or girl in Michigan public waters, and the fish must be meas­ ured at the Riverside Bait Shop in Nashville. Prizes will consist of a $7. 60 certificate at the Riverside Bait Shop. The contest closes September 15, 1968. Types of fish and minimal sizes eligible for the contest are as follows: Bluegill &. Sunfish Bass Pike 0 - 12 years 13 - 18 years 8 inches 12 inches 24 inches 8 1/2 inches 14 inches 30 inches Mr. FitzGerald pointed out that men who finish high school have an easier time finding a good job and earn, on the average, about $2, 500 a year more than men with only a grade school educationat least $1,000 a year more than those who do not finish high schooL Veterans who attend high school under the GI Bill do not lose any of their eligibility for college train­ Provisions can be worked out for a veteran either to work pan time and go to school full time, or work full time and go to school pan time. Gener­ ally a student would have to cany at least 25% of the normal school workload. While a few jobs require veterans to pass written tests, many (including the trades, crafts and labor­ ing jobs) do not. Under the program, the veteran works for at least one year under the transitional appointment. Then, if the veteran's performance on the job is satisfac­ tory, the transitional appointment may automati­ cally become a regular appointment when the vet­ eran shows the agency he has completed his educa­ tion plan. Veterans must have had at least 181 consecutive days of active duty, some part of it after August 4, 1964, to be eligible for transitional appointments. Generally, veterans will be eligible for such ap­ pointments for one year after discharge or one year after February 9, 1968, (the date President Johnson signed the appointment authority), whichever is la­ ter. Veterans may contact any government agency they prefer. Or they may secure further information from any office of the Qvil Service Commission or the VA, or at one of the 21 US Veterans Assistance Centers (USVACs). The Detroit USVAC is located at 210 Gratiot at Library. Charged with rape Richard Floyd Smith. 31, 508 S. Main Street, Vermontville, has been charged with statutory rape. The alleged offense was committed against a 13­ year old Nashville girl. Smith was picked up May 27 by Nashville Police Chief Donald Langham. He was taken to the Eaton county jail and bond was set at $1,000 which was not furnished. ** He waived examination before Judge L. E. Barnett in Circuit Court, Hastings and the case was set over to the September term at court. "AS I SEE IT” written by PaulP. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency ” DeGaulle and the Chinese Communists It is a clear indication from the recent uprising in France and the continuous unrest in Saigon's China­ town that the Chinese Communists are trying to uti­ lize all their international influence in an effort to sabotage the peace talks between the United States and the North Vietnamese governments in Paris. It has also been reported from the Far Eastern area that the Chinese Communists have infiltrated to some ultra-conservative group in Europe and Asia while trying to create a hate feeling for the United States and North Vietnamese government to esca­ late the war in the Far East. Therefore, the Ameri­ can casualties in Vietnam have increased during the peace talks. The most interesting fact that has been revealed in Europe is the carrying of Mao's Red Book by French workers and students during their demonstra­ tion. Since General DeGaulle has recognized Re d China, the Chinese Communists have opened many commercial concerns such as department stores, ex­ port and impon businesses. These are actually spyoriented fronts. The Chinese Communists have pull­ ed in a tremendous amount of financial aids to these demonstrations. According to a Peking radio announcement, the revulutionary forces of students and labor forces in France are inspired by Mao's theories. v I believe it is a good lesson for Communist sym­ pathizes to learn there is no true friendship ever able to be established with the Chinese Communists if it concerns mutual respect and understanding. Evidence has proved this, such as: the Chinese Com­ munists' attack on India, the Chinese Communists' attempt to overthrow Kruschev, their encourage­ ment of the revolt against DeGaulle, their aggres­ sive attitude in Hong Kong, and most recently the Chinese Communist movement in the Middle East area by sending volunteers to Egypt for the elimin­ ation of IsraeL Especially at the present time, the Chinese Communists have tried to purge American citizens who have a Jewish ancestry and have start­ ed a strong anti-Jewish movement in Asia. I The President's Corner By HAROLD CHRISTIANSEN Village President The improvement at the Reed Street railroad crossing will make a safer crossing and you can see from either way. I made a tour of the Sewage plant last Friday morning and was amazed at the pumps, tanks and the different tests that have to be performed each day before the residue reaches the river and also the tests that have to be made from different points up and down the river. There has to be so much oxygen in the overflow as it reaches the river. The sewer lines as they enter the plant are 22 feet under ground and the big holding tank is 36 feet in depth with two large sludge pits. It would be well worth any citizen's time to go through the plant. Bill Cassidy is on duty every morning and will be glad to explain the process of our system. It is truly amazing.

Mr. Babcock is presently Chief of Police in East Grand Rapids. He was associated with the State Po­ lice in Lansing for approximately 30 years. He was accompanied by his wife, the former Vivian Appelman. Mr. Babcock addressed the group and talked brief­ ly about last year's disturbances in various cities in regard to racial violence. He stated how the servi­ ces of the Fire Departments, the Police Departments and the National Guard were used to help quiet these disturbances. When asked how the local citi­ zen could help along these lines, he stated they could, help by, 1, staying home, and 2, not repeat­ ing any ugly rumors as violence is often a result. Mr. Babcock also stated that he felt the individual should re-evaluate his own feelings and make an at­ tempt to learn to live by the rule of brotherhood. A discussion period followed Mr. Babcock's talk. In the business of the Chamber, president George Vogt conducted the business meeting. He appointed Nelson Brumm chairman for the July 20 meeting which will be held at Camp Thornapple. A sugges­ tion was made to invite members of the MapleV al­ ley Jaycees and their families to attend this com bined picnic. The Centennial celebration will be held on June 27, 28 and 29 in 1969. The Chamber of Commerce will be in charge of a program for Saturday after­ noon and evening during this time. Harry Johnson, Al Smith, Hubert Lathrop and Harold Christiansen were appointed to take charge of providing for this program. Mrs. Wilma DeCamp was appointed chairman for the committee to judge beards during the centenn­ iaL Others on her committee include Helen Ackett, Rose Smith and Gerry Dingman. Mr. Vogt also mentioned that the next Centenn- ' ial meeting would be on Wednesday, June 19 at the Fuller Street ScbooL Guest for this meeting will be Mrs. Huffman who will show movies and tell of the Centennial celebration held last year at Lakeview. A supper will be held for Mrs. Huffman and other guests at 6:30 at Foote's Cafe. Forrest Babcock told of the plans for the Fire • men's Homecoming celebration on June 27, 28 and 29. He said he felt they had one of the best cele­ brations planned this year. Max Kelley, as head of the retail committee, said his group had been work­ ing on a project in conjunction with the Homecom­ ing celebration. Students receive degrees Mr. and Mrs. Burr Fasten attended the Commence­ ment exercises at Ferris State College Sunday after­ noon ar which time their son, Nyle, received bis B.

Nashville firemen plan Homecoming celebration Fire Chief Forrest Babcock has announced plans for this year's Homecoming Celebration. It will be­ gin on Thursday, June 27th with a gigantic water battle at 7:00 pm in front of the Fire Barn on Main Street. The 3-day festival will feature something of in­ terest to all ages, from the wide variety of rides and concession stands, to a parade sponsored by the Jaycees, an Amateur talent show, an Ox Roast, drawings for prizes and ending with the biggest fire­ works display they have ever had. Friday will be designated as Kid's Day and Friday evening at 8:00 the Amateur show will be held. Saturday morning will have pony pulling and trac­ tor pulling contests. The parade at 2:00 Saturday af­ ternoon will have ponies, antique cars and many un­ usual attractions and will be under the direction, this year, of the Maple Valley Jaycees. The Ox Roast, a popular feature of the Firemen's Homecoming, will begin at 4:00. Saturday evening will provide an opportunity for the winners Friday of the Amateur Show to perform. This will begin at 8:00 p. m. The drawing will be held at 9:30 and the fileworks display is scheduled for 10 pm. Mr. Babcock urges all to come to enjoy the festi­ vaL Historical Society to meet The Vermontville Historical Society will meet Thursday evening in the Griswold room of the Con­ gregational church.

The annual Harvest Festival is held to raise mon­ ey for the smaller equipment needed by the local fire fighters. Summer band schedu le The following schedule has been announced for summer band students. The schedule will begin the week of June 17 and will continue for six weeks. The Senior High Band members, new freshmen students and all interested adults are to meet at the High School on Tuesdays, at 7:30 p. m.

Village Council discusses new garbage contracts The Nashville village council opened bids on gar­ bage pick-up at Thursday night's meeting. There were two. bids, one from Ray Shaneck whose threeyear contract expires August 1, and the other from the Charlotte Disposal Service operated by Edwarrf C. Baker. Each bid was for a three-year period, and both bidden will provide a dump for those taking the service. The Shaneck bid was for $13, 800 and the Baker bid for $9, 072. After considerable discus­ sion the bids were referred back to committee for further study and will be acted upon at the June 27 meeting. In order to discourage outsiders from using the village dump on Casgrove street, undoubtedly i t will be necessary to issue car stickers or provide a card for those entitled to use the dump. This meas­ ure is to be studied further, and new rulings will go into effect on August 1 when the new garbage con­ tract is let. Chief of Police Donald Langham has had numer­ ous complaints of motorcycles, jeeps and even au­ tomobiles climbing the standpipe hill in Putnam park. The council will install signs at the bottom of the hill prohibiting all motor vehicles from this area. The State Highway Department has granted per­ mission for the Jaycees to hold a one-hour parade on Saturday, June 29, during the annual Harvest Festival sponsored by the Nashville Volunteer Fire Department. The paying of bills, reading communications and ocher routine business took up the remainder of the council session. Nashville Volunteer Firemen are working on plans for their annual Homecoming celebration for June 27, 28 and 29. Money earned from this project will add needed equipment to the department. --News Photo �Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? itor’s Note: The following address was given by Dr. Walter lomas, director of the project of student values the Grand Rapids public schools, at graduation ercises June 6 for 85 Maple Valley seniors. We felt the address was so outstanding that we ked to re-print it for all to read. We feel that e time taken to read it will be time well-spent. Simon and Garfunkel wail the intriguing theme ng from the controvertible film. The Graduate, doffer exclamations of pity and clemency to the :k and disallusioned Mrs. Robinson. To the person io takes the film's story at face-value, he finds mself looking back on the film with incompatible elings; first, a funny-type humor makes him feel : enjoyed the film but a moment later he is taken I an over-powering nausea and disgust that makes im feel sick at what he's seen. One cannot help indering to himself two questions: What's the sense t that fum?" And "How on earth does the recurring ieme song about Mrs. Robinson fit the filmed story f Mrs. Robinson?" I talked to Mr. Garfunkel on the none and asked if my interpretation of the song and Im were accurate. He assured me it was and r e nested a copy of this address. The film is a subtle rotest, a commentary on our society today. Mrs. Robinson represents the affluent and influenial establishment, a position in our society for rhich everyone seems to strive. But for all of her naterial and social position, Mrs. Robinson is misxable and disallusioned,..... disallusioned with he tangible, real products and possesrions of a conused and distorted way of life. The values she has >een taught (and, incidentally, holds for her own eenage daughter) are so incongruous with the life he has made for herself. She not only turns to drink o dull her miseries, but she perpetuates her disalusionment by seducing a young, brilliant, and unnntaminated young man, the coPege graduate,and ■sycholitic believes that his attention someway retores her youth and purity. Benjamin, the graduate, represents the youth of American society. He is brilliant, articulate, edicated and pure. His entire life is before him. He ;urveys the society around him. Anything he wants is his. His parents smother him with attention and adulation. They try to force him to make a decis­ ion about his life and career. They promise him everything. Dad gets impatient and Mother dotes. The neighbors and friends praise the talents and ca­ pacities of Benjamin. But Benjamin is confused and unsure of just what he wants in life. He wanders ;h the and mopes around, not able to "jump through hoops" and uninterested in sharing the emptiness and confusion of the " upward bound" around him. The pure young man is seduced by the establish­ ment as it uses sex symbols to fool him into joining the sick society. For awhile he attempts the " I-led two-lives" role which many youths are trying to play. Eventually, however, he finds himself. He fights the system and the establishment which in­ cludes the business community, the fine society, the university, and even the church. The final scene pictures the girl he loves about to be envel­ oped into the system by an agreed-upon marriage arranged by the society folk and sanctioned bv the church's very own sacramental ceremony, the symbols occurring in the last few minutes are pow­ erfully significant. Benjamin makes the up-hill run, beats on the locked door of the church, his true love (Mrs. Robinson's daughter) breaks free from the cere­ mony and runs to meet Benjamin. Benjamin locks the angry wedding crowd in the church by jamming a cross in the door handles of the church and two, hand- in­ hand, run into the annonomity of a crowded urban bus.

The words come shrieking through. Listen to them: "Mrs. Robinson" Simon and Garfunkle--Columbia Records And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus Inves you more than you will know. God bless you please Mrs Robinson: Heaven holds a place for those who pray — We d like to know a little bit about you for our files. We'd like to help you learn to help yourself. Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes stroll around the grounds until you feel at home And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, God bless you please Mrs. Robinson: Heaven holds a place for thoie who pray — Hide It Ina hiding place where no one ever goes — Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes. It’s a little secret, just the Robinson's affair — most of all you've got to hide it from the kids — Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, God bless you please Mrs. Robinson: Heaven holds a place for those who pray — Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon: going to the candidates' debate; laugh about it. shout about it, when you've got to choose — every way you look at it you loose. ‘ In fervent appeal, Simon and Garfunkle raise the penetrating question of the song and the pertinent ques­ tion of our time: WHERE HAVE YOU GONE JOE DIMAGGIO? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. What's that you say Mrs. Robinson? Jilted Joe has left and gone away? The literal question of Joe DiMaggio's where-abouts is not the real question being askedby youth uth today, [temporary knowledge. nor is it a vital question to cont -------------'------’ . t ------to the older genera­ But the real question that is put tion is: "TWhat happened’ to your moral heroes?” You ''good guy " of a recent see, Joe DiMaggio was the "good generation, who worked hard and made it to the top of financiaL sports, and social success. He did all that Americans are supposed to do. He eventually mar­ ried the personable symbol of the great society. Mar­ ilyn Monroe's news release had it that she jilted Joe, but after her death the real truth came out that Joe was disappointed and disallusioned and left Marilyn. But true to the tero-type, he openly and silently took it on the chin so she could be protected before her ad­ miring public. Interesting thing about heroes, they are dependent for their very existence upon clearly understood and cherished values. Every culture, every society, every institution, and every individual has some form of hero worship. Heroes are made not bom. The stuff out of which heroes are made are the values which people hold. An individual who has a set of clearly stated and compatible values will identify a person who exemplifies those values and call that person their hero. For example, most Americans share in common such good old yankee values as work hard, risk-taking, rugged individualism, honesty, clever­ ness, thrift, integrity, courage, and loyalty. As iplified long as our society e*emr ,‘"-'1 its stated values (if said they ought) heroes you please: They did as they r were easy to come-by. Our American folk songs and folklore, and even our school history filled to running-over with persons wn< . min Franklin's sayings seriously and found t he mselves national heroes. They simply did the things that American values said tney ought to do and that was enough to make them heroes. Poor-boy-makesgood and "rail-splitter”-to--the--whitehouse are tes today. They are as Yankee as eating virtual cliches ‘ hot-dogs or apple pie, celebrating Thanksgiving or w »balL They are as distinctly American as the stars and stripes or feeling the chills go up and down your spine when a Sousa-playing band marches by. They are the kinds of things that make ticker-tapes fly in New York and tears run down your face. Americans need heroes. In fact, we all need heroes. We need them for our very mental health's sake. All of us realize how far short we fall when measured by our own values. All of us realize how often we are inconsistent when it comes to our "oughts” and our "is's. ” We need to identify some­ one who lives up to our great and grand designs, our oughts, or if you please, our values. By identifying with a hero who lives up to our values, we gain some psychological satisfaction over our own deficit and we gain reinforcement for our stated values. With the decrease in our number of available heroes to replace our Washingtons, Lincolns, Teddy Roose­ velts, Douglas MacArthurs, Fords, JFK's, Martin Luther Kings, and DiMaggios, Americans have turn­ ed to Hollywood, Broadway, Miami Beach, Atlantic City, and Wall Street to "conjur-up" facsimiles and create fabrications of Yankee heroes. We are neu­ rotically pacified with the fictional pseudo-heroes provided us by television, novels, movies, and pub­ lic relations specialists. As long as there is a dearth of real-live heroes due to conflicting values and be­ havior which is inconsistent with our values, there will always be a vacuum, a need, and even a de­ mand for a John Wayne, a Miss America, or a Dr. Walter Thomas, center, delivered the ad­ dress to the graduating class of the Maple Valley High SchooL Carroll Wolff, Superintendent, is on the right and Charles Viele, School Board trustee, gave the diplomas to the students. - -Photo by Gladys Richardson Man Dillon. There will always be a Man Dillon who takes risks; is honest, courageous and loyal; is clev­ er, hard-working. and ruggedly individualistic. Identifying with Man Milon becomes a national past-time because of die society's values the play­ wrights have carefully ascribed to him. In other words, if you want to write a best seller, fill the box offices, or produce a long-run television series, take all of the great American values and create a hero and a series of episodes in which the Yankee al­ ways wins. I'm not sure the entertainment industry would be one of the largest businesses in the United States if American values were not becoming the ” impossible dream." There would be no bus mess in imagination or profit in fantasy, if Americans lived up to their dreams. Where are our real heroes? Where has Joe DeMaggio gone? The good guy always wins, but because we are hard up for real authenic heroes in our every day so­ ciety, we have not only conjured up our fabricated heroes of fantasy and imagination, nut we have very recently engaged in an interesting process of naming anti-heroes. These are conspicuous personifications around us who are the living-opposite of our stated values; the Bonnie-Clyde creation for example. They remind us of our values in reverse. Why is it that Mr. Munday in the series, It Takes a Thief, receives so much time-sanction by the American population? Is it now all right to steal, lie, and con as long as you are patriotic about it? Do the ends justify the means? Is it now beautiful for our little children to spend Saturday mornings adoring and emulating those anti-heroes of the irresponsible cartoon industry, watching those weirdos who, in the name of funny, wipe our continents and cities with some chemical potion or atomic weapon? What ever happened to Donald Duck anyway? Where have you gone Joe Di­ Maggio? . How come we don't have heroes named in Wash­ ington these days? Is it true that the politician really must say one thing and do another to get the votes and maintain the popularity he needs with the peo­ ple back home? Has the fast talking politician re­ placed our image of honest Abe? Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? How come we don't have any heroes being named in industry and business? Has honesty in advertising been contaminated by the profit motive? Can a per­ son really make money in the competitive business market these days and still live up to the Golden Rule? Has misrepresentation and ruthless competi­ tion become the name of the game? Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? How come we don't have any heroes being named in the church today? The church has always Deen the timeless resource for supplying human civiliza­ tion with its heroes. Whereas the church once cried out against value inconsistency, is it now sanction­ ing the system by default? Has the church become guilty of providing religious justification for our national and personal acts? Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? How come we don't name any great heroes in four years of war in Viet Nam? If MacArthur, Rickenoacker, Omar Bradley, Rickover, or Eisenhower were fighting in Viet Nam, I wonder if they would ever become neroes? Oh, we still give awards for personal bravery and provide crosses bestowed live and posthumously on lighting men in Viet Nam, but we are reluctant to use the word hero in describing them. The war is unpopular because of a conflict in American values. As long as there is an identifiable line of war, a great and terrible black dragon like a Hitler^Mussolini-Tofotype, and as long u as the ~ mill —— ­ tary/and tactical odds are . ", ‘ ans can fight and make great war. By this time in a World War I or II we would have had many songs and stor­ ies about gallant soldiers working hard and taking risks against a dirty, ruthless, and powerful enemy. Churches would be praying for American victory be­ cause such a war is easily seen as a holy war of the righteous against the wicked. Americans have al­ ways believed that if you work your hardest and take great risks against a powerful and wicked enemy, eventually you just have ro win. In Viet Nam we're working hard and taking risks but we're not able to accept the fact that we're not winning; Americans have no value system that permits making heroes if you don't win. Inters aren't heroes in America but they can be in North Vietnam. Contrary to the par- The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, June 20. 1968 �DR. THOMAS* TALK Continued from page 2 ent ot the 1940's who wished his son success in the great war, the modem day parent of the Viet Nam recruit tells his son to " get in the middle and shutup. " That doesn't provide much incentive for mak­ ing heroes. Where has Joe DeMaggio gone9 Being a great hero isn't a very attractive occupa­ tion any more. The reason for it being that heroes have an impossible task to trying to exemplify the inconsistent and changing American values. The descrepency between what Americans say they ought to do and what they actually do makes the job of hero have a poor occupational outlook and security. In fact, if you really try to live up to the great and old stated American values you will eith­ er become neurotic or murdered. The latter of course, is what happened to the two all-American heroes to appear in the last decade: John F. Kenne­ dy and Martin Luther King. Maybe Americans real­ . Iv can't tolerate someone who is comprised of au­ thentic, genuine hero material, who lives up to the values we have preached and who consequently serves as a national barometer of conscience by which we all see ourselves as hypocrites. I recently spent a third trip visiting and living a­ mong many different youth groups in San Francisco and the Berkeley area. I found no protest songs, po­ ems, literature, art, or posters that said down with the American values; down with loyalty, down with love, down with courage, down with equality, down with honesty, down with respect, or down with in­ tegrity. But I did discover a loud and clear protest against what is being passed-off as behaviorial evi­ dences of those values. I don't find any lack of imagination or loss of i­ dealism in youth today. But I see many who find it easier to "switch than fight". They would rather become one of the defectors, and retire from the society because they view the establishment as a nut too tough to crack so why fight it.... just pick up stakes and colonize in the nearest big city bo­ hemian district. It doesn't take much insight to see that such a decision probably makes them more a part of the problem than part of the answer. On the other hand, it is just as much a part of the problem to accept the double standards of a so-called estab­ lishment and contribute to the society's descrepency between stated values and demonstrated behavior. Isn't is interesting that our national value co n flicts will probably be taken to the polls this next fall? Isn't it interesting that Romney, McCarthy, and Kennedy made value problems the basis of their campaigns. Consequently, the youth are being cap­ tivated to try once again to rally around a moral hero. Never have so many youth been involved in political movements. John Kennedy and Martin King left most American youth desperate for a mor­ al hero. The college campuses and capitols of the world reflect youth’s discontent with the world they are inheriting. An inherited society which the pre­ vious generations worked hard for and therefore cher ish; and because they cherish it they can't accept youth's protest of it. Last week's "Life” magazine named the real problem in their article entitled: The Generation Gap. I only pray for some national hero to emerge, some national tragedy or event to occur, or some idea to ignite us or else the gap will become a chasm so great that revolution and chaos will errupt I was frightened from what 1 heard youth saying tn the ears of the camera as Robert Kennedy lay critically wounded in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel. They were calling for blood and revolution. Oh for a Joe DeMaggio! Well, what is my message to you, you high school graduates of 1968? I have described some di­ lemmas and problems that you probably know better than L If I were giving this commencement address forty years ago, 1 would warm your hearts with some nice-sounding phrases about the beautiful future with its open arms. But I'm not here today to play any games with you. My message is simply this:you are Joe DeMaggio if you want to be! You can be your own moral heroes. You can live out your val­ ues even though there are hypocrites all around, you can do more than just protest, you can change our society. You can do more than just conform, you can transform the many degraded and sick around us. You can do more than defect to some hippie colony, you can carry your idealism and values into the market place, into government, into your church, into your families, into your community, or into industry. You can make peace a reality. You can make racial equality fact and not fiction. You can wage war against poverty, ignorance, and dis­ ease. But only if you want to badly enough; only if you want to make your behavior jive with your val­ ues. You must have the security to be insecure. The security within yourself and your ideals, to do what you know is right regardless of the insecurity it might generate. John F. Kennedy said it and I like it, "A man does what he must. “ Whf-ff ttfve you K°.ne Joe DeMaggio9 Siiiiig Samwr Hair far a LareHtr Yu' CALL TODAY HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP W CLOSED WEDNESDAYS 653-3901 "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency The blackboard jungle and our nation During the last several months, many educators in higher education reviewed the current condition of our secondary educational system in various met­ ropolitan areas. Their findings are rather discoura­ ging according to statistical evidence, which indi­ cates a very low percentage of high school gradu­ ates are ready for additional studies in higher edu­ cation. It has also been common knowledge that the safety and security of teachers in metropolitan Letters to Editor It is usually the case, that, when a nation is at war, when its men in uniform are fighting and dy­ ing, the country takes a more appreciative attitude towards its defenders. It is at these times that the fighting man, if he ever expects to get them, gets a tew improvements in his way of living and a few more coins in his pocket. The Treasury Department's plan for a new travel tax program and change in custom rules to discour­ age spending abroad by tourists in the hope it will relieve our heavy out-flow of gold probably deserves merit as something that must be done. Page twelve of the official committee print of the House Ways and Means Committee dated February 5, 1968 states "the fifty dollar gift exemption for servicemen in combat areas be retained. The ten dollar duty-free exemption for all gift parcels, including those mail­ ed by military personnel stationed in non-combat areas would be reduced to one dollar retail by regu­ lation. " The fifty dollar exemption for a man in combat areas should certainly be retained as the gift he , sends home to his loved ones may be his last. How­ ever, the Treasury Department's plan for our non­ combat areas would charge a flat rate of one dol­ lar for any gift between one and ten dollars. This would mean that a man stationed in Korea, Guan­ tanamo or on fleet duty who is away from home for two, three or four Christmas seasons would pay a flat rate of one dollar to send a one dollar and one cent present to his family. In other words, two dol­ lars and one cent for a one dollar and one cent gift. We believe this is unjust and urge everyone to write their Representative and Senator protesting this portion of the tax program.

Van Raalte Legislative Chairman, 8th District Department of Michigan Veterans of Foreign Wars. secondary schools are very much in declining status. In many cases, some slum area high schools need security guards to prevent any physical or bodily in­ juries. It is also common knowledge no teacher shall use any physical self-discipline only in the case of self-defense. I think it is totally unthinkable for society to tol­ erate this kind of unoelieveable condition. Ameri­ can education has achieved distinction and recog­ nition around the world by our high standards. Dur­ ing the last 30 years all our school systems have re­ quired teachers to continue and further their studies. School administrators have additonal educational courses in counselling and guidance. Regardless of the racial problems, we have to admit all our school facilities are in better condition and our teachers are mote qualified. Then, what is the cause of the deterioration of its products? 1 feel it is the lack of communication between the teachers and students for mutual respect. The materialistic advancement of society considers teaching as a low-pay occupation. Court decision provents classroom teaching of religion and God­ fearing. In many cases, even during the high school Government Days, no speaker shall be involved with political issues. Consequently, we are trying to prepare our younger generation to live in an iv­ ory tower environment. We are not preparing them for realistic living in our own society. The.e is no textbook to prepare for ethics, political participa­ tion, hard working habits and the importance of strict family budgeting planning. Teachers deserve respect and recognition before they are able to teach effectively. Our future de­ pends upon our younger generation. The educators are trusted and responsible to educate our younger generation. However, they are not able to do this job alone. They deserve tne public's support and understanding. Yet, at the same time, if education­ al administrators burden the good teachers with any unnecessary clerical work, they shall certainly en­ danger our nation's future. Mindful of every need, heedful of every wish We deeply honor the confidence placed in us at time ot sorrow. Faithfully we observe every wish, meet every need, including a regard for financial consideration. VOGT FUNERAL HOMES .

The Jaycettes, as they are called, are a group of wives whose husbands are Jaycees. Their purpose is to serve their Jaycee husbands and the Jaycees as a group. So you may ask, what does this do to Vermont­ ville and Nashville, the Maple Valley area? First, we have the organization of Jaycees, who are not satisfied sitting back on their duff and complaining about this and that, we are ready to take a stand on an issue after thinking and talking over the issue, and then we are ready to fight for that issue. We are interested in the community, for many of us are intending to spend our lives here. This means that we will De shopping here, sending our children to the schools, and taking them to the churches of the community. Let's face it, our area, the com­ munity in which we live, is only what we make it. We are going to be involved in the happenings of the community because we care, we are a part of the community so it is us, the community, that we are working for. Second, we have the organization of Jaycettes. As a group, they are willing to stand behind us in our work and to serve the group collectively in any way that we may ask. Individually, as a Jaycee wife, they have to contend with long meetings, never knowing when their busbands will be home for supper and putting up with constant talk about nothing but the mighty Jaycees. Bear in mind, that even though the two have been introduced separately, they will be uniting to form an offspring of leadership training through community development and public service. The Maple Valley Jaycees extend their best wish­ es to the Jaycettes for their continued growth and activation; and on behalf of the Jaycee Auxiliary, we invite you, the citizens of the Maple Valley area to attend the Charter Night banquet, June 25, 1968.

Activities will start at 7 p. m. Thursday with a Water Ball Battle staged in front of the fire barn on N. Main Street. Invited to participate are the fire departments from Hastings, Delton, Woodland, Ver­ montville, Hickory Corners, Middleville, along with the local department.

A very enthusiastic group met Wednesday eve­ ning, June 19, at the All-Purpose Room, Fuller St. School, and saw films and heard comments about the Lakeview CentenniaL •George Vogt, chairman for the Nashville Cen­ tennial, made arrangements for the visit of Mrs. Jane Huffman, Mr. Huffman and Mr. and Mrs. Mil­ ler of Lakeview. Film strips were shown of the var­ ious activities of the Centennial which was o b served last summer at Lakeview. Mb. Huffman told how their organization was begun and how the var­ ious teams and chapters were organized and what activities and projects they worked on. In conjunc­ tion with other centennial projects, the Lakeview group presented a pageant on the history of their town. This was given for five nights. They started their centennial planning with a street dance. They sold tickets to this dance and this started their fund for holding their centennial. They stated that the entire cost of their centennial was $21, 000 and after all bills were paid and taken care of, they had a balance of $1100 left. They hope to take the various film strips which were made during the centennial and compile one com­ plete film of the entire activity. They also hope to gather together a complete history of the centenn­ ial project for a permanent record. The next meeting of the Nashville Centennial group will be July 17 at 8:00 p. m. at the Castle­ ton Township HalL George Vogt urged all interest­ ed persons to attend this meeting and plan to take part in centennial plans. Crossing lights out Extensive damage done to Elementary building The Kellogg Elementary building at Nashville was broken into sometime Sunday afternoon, and according to Police Chief Don Langham, nearly $500 in damage occurred. Practically every room in the building was ransacked, books thrown from cup­ boards, chalk and crayons were scattered through­ out the halls, but the most serious damage was done in the old cafeteria, where paint cans were punch­ ed open and the contents poured over the floor, and in the gymnasium where liquid soap was strewn over much of rhe area. Entry was gained through a window on the east side of the building. The paint, to be used in dec­ orating a number of the rooms, was setting on ta­ bles in the cafeteria where entry was made. Only two rooms in the two-story building escaped the vandals. In some of the rooms the teachers' desks were ransacked and the contents thrown on the floor. In other areas files were opened and the contents strewn over the floor. The damage, said Langham, appeared to have been done by children, and there were numerous barefoot tracks in the cafeteria and adjoining halL In one of the office rooms a can of lubricating oil was poured generously, and books were tossed from the shelves onto the floor. The building was checked about 12:30 p. m. and everything was in order at that time. The damage was discovered Monday morning by the custodians. Custodian Gayion Fisher surveys the extensive damage at the Kellogg school building. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Fam I ly Store will cease operati on soo n The Family Store, owned and operated for the past S yean by Mr. and Mb. Nelson Brumm, will cease operation within the next few weeks. When the building they occupy was sold recently, Mt. and Mrs. Brumm attempted to find other quarters to continue their store. When they failed to find oth­ er suitable arrangements, they decided they would go out of business. They have been conducting a sale of their merchand Be and Mr. Brumm said he felt they would be open for another week or so. During Sunday evening's electrical storm the Penn Central crossing lights on South Main Street were put out of commission. It was several hours before repairs were conyleted. For the most part, only minor damage in the na­ ture of tree limbs and a few small trees blown down occurred in the Nashville area, according to Police Chief Don Langham who participated in the T r i county tornado watch. �■ BACKSTREET BAROMETER Our son, Chris, is over at Michigan State Univer­ sity for two weeks. He is attending the annual Com■unication Arts Institute there and it almost turned Mt to be a dilly of a two weeks for him. On the application he just signed himself up as Chris Boughton and when Amy took him over to ■Ute last Sunday, they didn't pay much attention at the registration desk--just gave him a room key with a number on it and told him which dorm he was to report to. Amy said she noticed the halls of the dorm were full of glib checking in, but she decided tins was just a part of the modem co-educational system and said nothing, though she was just a bit appre­ hensive as she left Chris in his room. Chris said a short time after be got in the room a real good looking girl came along with a match­ ing key to his room and announced it was HER room. Chris, «t flirt, thought they had sent him a real good roommate, but they took him out of that worm and put him In the boy's quartets. I've been working over in Lansing for the Tourist Council and have to get up and get on the road in order to be at work somewhere around eight each morning. 1 go through Vermontville to Potterville and it amazes me the number of Nashville and Ver­ montville people I see traveling the road every day. I'll bet we could make up a bus load going each direction. . Nashville should be proud that Vicky Rose is car­ rying the name of the town across the footlights. Vicky is part of the company at the Bam Theatre this year. That gives me a good excuse to get over there to see some of the productions this year. The Harvest Festival is coming up this weekend. Thu is a good chance for those of you who do not live here now to get back for a homecoming. It also gives those of us who live here a chance toget out and have some fun. It is for a good cause too. The Volunteer Fire­ men use the money they make on the Harvest Fes­ tival to purchase equipment for the department. The Centennial Committee has had a couple of well-attended meetings, but more people are need­ ed. If this is going to go over, it will go over be­ cause everybody in town worked on it. Those who would like to be part of the fun should get out for the next meeting or contact George Vogt and let him know you want to help, NATIONAL NEWSPAPER! affiliate member MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Infant son dies The infant son of Roger and Susan (Moore) Ti □ridge of Vermontville, bom Wednesday, died Fri­ day, June 21, at Pennock HospitaL Surviving, in addition to his parents, are his pa­ ternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Trowbridge of Vermontville, and maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Moore of Hastings.

FFA w iII sponso r t racto r pulling contest Letter to Editor Dear John, Your writeup in the Maple Valley News about the Memorial Day parade went far afield. I think you know Kay's husband is a First Flight. Engineer on a P3A Orion based now again at Patux­ ent River Naval Test Station in Maryland. He had just returned after a 6-months tour of duty in Burmuda and Newfoundland, Kay and Helen Louise re­ mained in Maryland where they have established their home about six miles from the base. Incidentally he was engineering one of the search planes looking for the sub Scorpion, I under­ stand. . I sent the Maple Valley News to Kay that partic­ ular week because of the school pictures including Anne, also the picture including Larry as well as many other items I knew she would be interested in. This is an excerpt from her last letter I thought you might like to bear. "You can tell John Boughton his friends from New York were indeed fortunate to share a Memorial Day with them. I wish I could have been there! You have no idea how much this Nashville girl missed that little parade of Boy Scouts and Blue Birds with OBITUARIES by john boughton their big happy smiles - - the school band playing for all they were worth, with all the Veterans marching in their now ill-fitting uniforms but with a look of pride and true sincerity. The meeting in the quiet little country cemetery with those well spoken words for the dead, with shots in assure a preservation of their remembrance. As a child you tend to laugh at a scene of the home town parade for its awkwardness and rural simplicity but when you are grown and it is no long­ er within your reach, you'd be ever so surprised bow beautiful that same parade is, as it marches back through your mind while you are half across the na­ tion away from it. * "I was shocked to find here within 60 miles of our Nation's Capitol things went on as any other day, stores open and they even had school! I told my friends in Nashville mat would be almost sac­ rilegious. It truly upset me. ’ So you can see what a hometown parade story can do to a hometown girl whom I'm quite sure now was really never meant to roam. Hal Ha! She is still very homesick for Nashville and all her friends and relatives here even aftet a year and a half away from us. Maybe we here in Nashville have a great deal to be grateful for; more, to be grateful to boys like her nusband who are serving us and our country and forgoing the comfort and security of borne and friends. Grateful too, to the girls and children who also serve by sitting and waiting. Thought maybe you'd like to know your story went to Maryland.

Brown seeks another term Congressman Garry Brown announced that he will seek the Republican nomination and re-election as the Representative of Michigan's Third District.(Barry, Calhoun, Clinton, Eaton and Kalamazoo coun­ ties) in the US Congress. A native of Schoolcraft, Brown unseated incum­ bent Democratic Congressman Paul Todd in his first bid for national office in 1966, following four years of service as a Michigan State Senator, and before that as a delegate to the Michigan Constitutional Convention. Congressman Brown serves as a member of the key Banking and Currency Committee, and Housing ana International Trade Subcommittees. His interest and knowledge in the areas of urban problems and gov­ ernment efficiency have also won him appointment to two Special House Republican groups, the Task Force on Congressional Reform and Staffing and the Task Force on Urban Affairs. He has just been appointed a member of a select new bi-partisan Congressional steering committee working in conjunction with the United States Con­ ference of Mayors. The committee will give direc­ tion and guidance to a program of visits to large cit­ ies and their ghetto areas by members of the House to develop a better understanding of what our urban needs are in terms of both private and public action. In announcing his candidacy for re-election. Brown said, " During my campaign for election to the Congress in 1966, I advocated certain programs, policies and actions. The most important of these were: better use of the taxpayer's dollar through im­ proved governmental efficiency; a more equitable and better structured taxing system including t h e sharing of federal revenues with the states and local units of government; a total re-examination of our water pollution control programs to the end that more effective action is taken toward the preserva­ tion and improvement of the quality of this essential natural resource; and, finally, I promised I would draw upon my prior legislative experience and be an effective legislator."

These last few weeks have got to be about the worst weather-wise, that we have had in quite a few summers. As a matter of fact, the way things have been going, no one seems quite sure whether we have had summer yet or not. Some insist that we had our summer back tn March and that what we are having is late falL When I was a very young fellow I used to hear the old-timers tell about the year that was so cold that it snowed on the Fourth of July.

Let's hope not. We have had more than our share of rain lately too. This must be some sort of a record year. Years back the Fourth of July was a good time to really do up the family picnic and get-together. I can remember going up to Chesaning (an all day trip) to spend the Fourth with Grandma and Grandpa. I would wake up to the tune of firecrackers early in the morning and late at night, long after I had gone to bed, the noise of fireworks was still going strong. Back in those days the folks used to read in the pa­ pers the next morning about all the people who were hurt by firecrackers and all the fires that were start­ ed by rockets landing on houses or in dry fields. Rel­ atively few people were killed in auto accidents in those days. Today we no longer have fireworks, but we knock off more people with automobiles than those kids with firecrackers ever thought of. We made a little mistake in the story about the Family Store going out of business. We said the Brumms had been in business there for 6 years. We were just half right. They have been in business at the Family Store for twelve yean. That is just the way time hies. At any rate Main street will not be the same without Gen and Nelson. .... and the Family Store. Glenn Garlinger says that his son Ken, 14, went fishing up in Canada with the hope that he would come oack with some big ones. His little brother Gary, who is 3 yean old was quite upset to think that he couldn't go along with the older boy. So Glenn took the little fellow out fishing right here at Thomapple Lake and, wbat-do-you-know, be came up with a beauty of a fish, a 10 inch bass. This one was not quite as large as Ken got in Canada, but it was big enough to please a three-year old.

WILLIAM BITGOOD Phone 3-6092 NASHVILLE Two Nashville children, a girl 9 and a boy 9, have admitted to Police Chief Donald Langham to entering the Kellogg elementary school building at the comer of Queen and Washington streets on Sunday, June 23 where they caused damage amount­ ing to $500. But their confession came only after they were caught last week Wednesday afternoon after doing another $500 in damage to seven school buses at the school bus garage on Reed street. Larry Musser, head school bus mechanic, and one of his assistants were working at the bus garage when they heard a noise outside. When Musser in­ vestigated, he saw a girl run into one of the buses, with articles in her hands and close the door be­ hind her. Musser entered the bus where he also found the nine-year old boy inside, and took a hammer away from him which he was using to break up the interior of the bus. Police Langham was called and later, in a survey of the seven buses, it was learned that windows had been broken, general equipment had been strewn around, the dials on the dashboards had been broken and a radio had been smashed. Also, a first aid kit had been emptied and the contents missing. The two children stated they took the bus keys out of the buses about a week ago and were coming back Wednesday evening to sun one up to go' for a ride. Both children stated they "hate school" and both children were afraid they would be " beaten up" by their parents when they got home. Discovery of the damage done at the Kellogg elemenury building was Monday morning when the custodians entered the building. The children had entered the school some time between 4 and 8 pm Sunday through an unlocked window in the old cafeteria room. They bad opened gallon qans of paint by punching holes in tne top and proceeded to pour the paint on the floor. They had also poured liquid soap over the hallway and gymnasium floor, had emptied teachers' desks and files, strewn books from cupboards onto the floor in all of the rooms of the two-story building but two, and had littered the balls with papers, crayons, chalk and other debris. Police Chief Langham is still investigating the case which is being turned over to the juvenile court in Hastings. ■ " • PEOPLE’S BIBLE CHURCH Vacation Bible School will open July 8 and run to July 19, 9:00 to 11:30 a. m.

Staton of Indiana will lecture on "The Truth about Vietnam." �BACKSTREET BAROMETER I really didn't mean to listen in on a conversation a bunch of ladies were in the other day, but I just couldn’t help it. They were eating lunch at the t a ble next to mine and one of these ladies said, "Look at my beads... I mean my husband’s beads. " She then went on to explain that her husband (whom I would judge must be about middle aged) got a turtle-necked shirt for Christmas. Then when Librqry News Dorothy Rodger’s colorfully illustrated new book, " House In My Head, " has been presented to Putnam Library by the Woman's Literary Club in memory of Mrs. W. A. Vance. Four special publications by the National Geo­ graphic Society have been cataloged for the refer­ ence room. "Revolutionary War, " by Bart McDowell, tells the story of the seven years of conflict, using doz­ ens of painting, photographs, maps, and battle paintings. "World Beneath the Sea, ” by James Du­ gan, is a fascinating volume describing the great undersea territory and the pioneering in this frontier of the deep sea. " Isles of the South Pacific, " by Shadbolt and Ru­ hen, portrays the warmth and grace of life in the island world of the Pacific Ocean. " Exploring Can­ ada From Sea to Sea, " by several authors, tells the dramatic story of that land and takes you on a jour­ ney across its immense reaches of forest, mountain and prairie. Thirty new titles in an assortment of varied nov­ els, mysteries, westerns, junior books and reference works nave been added to the shelves this week. Our European tour Dick Shaneck of Nashville proudly shows off the largemouthed bass which he caught Monday e v e nine, June 24th. The fish weighed 6 pounds, was 22 1/2 inches in length and was caught in Thomapple Lake. Dick said ne was all alone and that he had no net to help land him, and he also broke the pole getting him in. --News Photo Mrs. Irene Hamp, teacher at Maple Valley High School, and her sister, Mrs. Myrtle Bidwell of Grass Lake, Michigan, left Metro Airport on Sunday, July 7 at 7:15 via Pan American and flew straight to London, arriving there at 7:25 a. m.

Mrs. Hamp and Mrs. Bidwell will be gone a total of twenty-one days. b? john boughto* Father’s Day came, one of the kids got him the beads to wear with it and his black suit. The lady went on to explain that she would be home before he was and would put the beads back before he knew he was wearing them. She said that he dearly loved the beads and wears them everytime he wears the shirt. "Just imagine," she said, "conservative. Republi­ can, Canadian George, wearing hippie beads!" Saturday evening we stepped to see Al and Mary Hine for a few minutes. Al was out working in the garden and he had his two dogs with him. He has a new little dog, a Border Collie who is happy to see company. This little dog will chase a stick and bring it back to a different person each time. Our family lined up to see how he did it. Number one throws the stick and the dog brings it to number two. When number two throws, he returns it to number three, etc. Last week we ran pictures of new construction a-' round town. We could have done the same this week with things that are coming down. The house next to Eldon Day's came down the oth­ er day. It happened fast too. Early in the day the house was still there and when I looked later in the day... about five o'clock, it was entirely down. The old barn behind Hosmer's has come down too. Paul took it down and is going to use most of the wood to build a garage in the same place.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Ttaxtay, July 11, 19U �Stiiiig Sumer Hair hr i Lmlier fti!1 CALL TODAY fOR AN APPOINTMENT Recently, I visited nine major cities in the coun­ try and reviewed many fine reports of the Citizens Committee of their communities, which includes • Detroit's Citizens' report. I think these reports are soul searching. It is a great contribution tor our fu­ ture society if these recommendations and sugges­ tions were to be successfully adopted. These pro­ posals deal with the curriculum, discipline, school financial structure, building facilities, teacher com­ pensations, the school's long-range revenue pros­ pects, racial equality, and community participation in the school's issues. As an educator, I am sure I share with many other dedicated teachers in feeling our hearts are bleeding due to the social unrest, school financial troubles, academic standards crumbling, lack of respect to the academic personnel, vandalism in big metropolitan schools, permissiveness spreading, pregnancy rate increasing, high school and college drop-outs on the rise, conflict of interests and issues in school and university boards spreading, alarming increase o f teacher strikes, as well as the increase of the nar­ cotics traffic in metropolitan school systems. I be­ lieve with these kinds of chaotic situations, regard­ less of the conservative or liberal elements of so­ ciety, we cannot feel proud and comfortable; in this type of situation. 1 do not think anyone can claim our last thirty years of the educational system as a tremendous suc­ cess, and we shall all share the responsibilities-for it. Education is something to train and discipline the individual's mind, and I do not think brick or ' mortar will.be able to compensate our shortcomings. The community's respect and indebtedness to the teaching profession cannot be compensated by cash only. To he a university trustee or a member of the school board is not to De considered as political pruning or a social status symbol. These people must possess the courage to agree and disagree, to ap prove and disapprove, regardless their job security when issues concern thousands of students and their future. We realize the educational systems of other parts BELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP CLOSED WEDNESDAYS 653-3901 today. In China they have the Red Guard. In Russia, hooligans; in Western Europe they have the unruly mobs; in this country we have hippies and SDS. I think in this great nation we must consider the fail­ ure of our education as a warning signal of our s o ciety's survival. It is not only die responsibility of educators, and the school board, but of the entire community. We must realize it is a weakness and try to correct it. The big communities must often look upon the medium and small-sized communi­ ties for their fine educational systems. Evidence has proven the highest academic degree, the impress­ ive salary schedules of school superintendents and their long list of publications have not achieved a token of success in such cities as Chicago, Detroit, New York and other metropolitan areas. GET THAT ENGINE SUMMER-! Perhaps the only key to solving this educational problem besides the use of money is the need for dedication, respect, and high moral discipline. To love Our children is not to neglect to teach and to discipline them and try to preach of permissiveness because if we care for them, we must care for their future. Their future needs supervision, guid­ ance and love. The best illustration is the medical doctor who cares .about his patient. He does not allow the pa­ tient to eat whatever he wants, exhaust himself, or abuse himself. A good medical doctor is strict with his patient's schedules, strict with the patient's di­ et, and most of all the doctor does care about the patient's welfare. This same principle must be ap­ plied to the relationship between the parents and children, the teachers and students. READY We mean No. 1 in dependability!

The Maple Valley Newt. Nashville. Michigan. Thursday, July 11. 1968 Ph. OL3-6OO3 �Castleton Township Supervisor . July 8, 1968 ANNUAL REPORT This report covers the period from April 1st, 1967 to March 30th, 1968. Another year has become his­ tory for the Township. As in many other areas, town­ ship work becomes more diverse and in many cases, more confusing. As more changes and programs are added the time involved and the expense to the Township are increased. However, I think the peo­ ple who are involved in local government through­ out the state are dedicated to solving local problems on a local level. This report covers the projects that have been active in Castleton Township for the past A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL SERVICE WITHIN EVERYONE'S MEANS ruoi rUNERAL HOMES titihfille CALLOL3-2612 or CL9-89&6 Vermontville COME IN AND SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL Floor Covering LEES CARPET CERAMIC WALL & FLOOR TILE ARMSTRONG PRINT LINOLEUM ARMSTRONG INLAID LINOLEUM FORMICA COUNTER TOPS DRAPERIES & HARDWARE HASTINGS FLOOR COVERING 123 W.

The work on 2 3/4 miles of Center Road has been completed during the year. This included grading, gravel and blacktop. Traffic had built up tn the lake area so that this was a much needed project. Center Road is now paid for completely. During the year the complete assessment roll, in­ volving some 1400 parcels of property, was changed over to State Equalized Values. This involved much time and many explanations on the part of the Su­ pervisor. All of the townships in Barry County have changed their assessment rolls to the new equalized values. I have worked during the past four years on the County Equalization Committee and became familiar with many of the problems of equalized values on a county-wide basis. Another major project was the setting up of the Castleton Maple Grove Ambulance Service. This involved the County Board of Supervisors as well as the two township boards and the village council and members of the fire department. After many meet­ ings I believe we have a good workable service avallable with the cooperation of the personnel of the fire department. Serving as secretary and treasurer of the new ambulance service I have had an oppor­ tunity to become familar with all of the details in­ volved. Extra cemetery work was completed during the year with special emphasis on the Warner Cemetery at Stoney Point. This involved some grading and fence work. Emphasis is placed on the work in the cemeteries at Decoration Day time and I believe we have our township cemeteries in good shape. About 20 lots were sold in both the Barryville and the Warner last year. A new cemetery mower was pur­ chased during the year and this has helped consid­ erably in keeping the cemeteries in shape. Sometime during the year the township board tries to take a tour of die township in order to be­ come familar with the changes and the problems involved in keeping a township operating. The tour this past year was on June 5, 1967. This gives the whole board a chance to see road conditions, road work in progress, also new plats and other areas. We had a petition from those interested in getting Wellman Road in better shape. The township board asked by resolution that the county commission re­ quest of the State that Wellman Road be made a primary road. After the State had made a survey this request was turned down. This leaves work of this road on a local leveL Considerable work was completed on this road in the way of ditch andgraveL This extra work should be continued for 1968. Some effort was put forth to solve the junk car problem. Although it was not solved we did get a considerable number of cars hauled away. This con­ tinues as a major problem. I have worked with both the county and State authorities on the junk car problem and expect to continue to do so in the coming year. Listing rather briefly a few of the other activities that I have been involved in: In addition to serving on the county board and township board and fire boards I now nave the am­ bulance board. Board of Review 4 1/2 days. Some work was done on county and township zon­ ing. I made several tours with the county zoning ad­ ministrator. Township hall roof was resealed. Worked with new village assessor in establishing identical village assessments for village and town­ ship. Several days were spent with Judd Cooley in checking village assessments. Many parcels were visited and checked and all parcels listed in the village we at least viewed. Served on special service and equalization com­ mittee for the county. Amended a meeting of all supervisors of town­ ships having property in the Hastings school district. Will be doing the same thing for Lakewood on April 4th. Attended Key Mens meeting for district 8. Attended County supervisor tour of problem mo­ bile home areas. Attended County supervisors tour of road work completed by the county road commission in 1967 and 1968. Worked with licensed second hand car dealers * willing to cooperate on cleaning up junk cars. Prob­ lem continues. Worked with county and State health authorities in relation to establishing trailer park in Thornap­ ple Lake area. Checked several houses that have been condemn ed by the health department. Assessments will need to be adjusted on these. Worked with cemetery caretakers on various prob­ lems including smashed road fence and placing of extra veteran markers and flags. The township board was involved in their approval of two dredge projects on Tbornapple Lake. Worked out contract with George Vogt and the township to keep ambulance service in operation un­ til such time as the township could take over the service. Took part in a few fence and septic tank disputes. Worked briefly on two property disputes at Pleasant Shores. These both went to court in 1967 and I hope will be solved shortly. Although the Supervisor does not have the author­ ity to actually change a fence or property line, peo­ ple seem to like to air their complaints through the The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Supervisor. L in turn, try to help people solve their mutual problems. Met with the Road Commission and members of the Sheriff Department at the site of the above men­ tioned problems. Checked with social services on welfare for sev­ eral township residents. Made many checks and meeting with the previous village assessor on Senior Citizen and Veteran ex­ emptions. , , . , For 1968 processed 178 senior citizens exemptions and 14 Veteran ux exemptions. Attended county Zoning Board of Appeals meeting in behalf of two people wishing to place mobile homes in the area. Attended annual meetings at both the Barryville and Hosmer cemeteries. Board of Review was taken on a township tour. Asked County Road Commission to put load limit signs on bridge on Gregg Crossing Road. Took representative from Sure License Bureau on tour of township junk cars. Worked out some 150 transfers of property on the ux tolL Signed for one guardianship. Several general letters sent out to tax payers in­ cluding senior citizens, veterans and percenuge sheets to all tax payers. Phone stickers included in letter as a special project. An option was obuined on the Mary Holman prop­ erty with hopes of building a new fire bam some time in the future. Several buildings lost by fire and adjustment on the assessment roll made accordingly. Explained local and township government to all three of Mrs. Firster’s Government classes. Spread special drain ux. Barger Road fill at no extra expense to township. Township will be affected by settlement of Charl­ ton. estate.

In the fall election you will no doubt have a chance to vote on increasing the 15 mill limita­ tion to a 16. 5 mill limiution. The two limita­ tions are figured as follows: 15 Mill limitation County School Intermediate & special education TOTAL 16. 5 Mill Limiution 6.14 . 70 8. 00 3.80 1.00 8.50 , 16 .20 15.00 mills 16.50 mills The total ux roll for 1968 is $5,181,100. This represents an increase of $66, 000 over 1967. This increase is largely due to new building within the township. The total number of parcels of property on the township tax roll are classified as follows: Residential Real Estate-----------865 Agricultural Real Estate------------------ 374 Commercial Real Esute---------------- 78 Industrial Real Esute----.............. .. 5 Commercial Personal Property------- 71 Industrial Personal Property-----------3 TOTAL 1396 Just a word about ux rates for 1968. Over the past few yean we have, in most cases, been able to lower the. rates a small amount each year for the township as a whole. 1968 will however re­ flect an increase of at least three mills on the school ux in the Maple Valley District, a 7.10 mill increase in the Hastings School District and a 5 mill increase in the Lakewood School District. If the 16. 5 mill limiution carries,another 1. 5 mills will be added to the total. The job of Supervisor is an interesting and educa­ tional one and often a humorous one, but above til a challenging one. I thank all the people who have be®"* P“n o{ *** many activities in the township. 1967 was a good year for Cattleton Township.

Thmday, July 11, 1MB Father’s Corner "The New Morality" is a popular phrase nowa-days which raises fear or hope in the hearts of Christians. To some it means throwing out all of the old rules of Christian conduct, and replac­ ing them with a thumb-nail rule of "do as you please," for others it means basing one's con­ duct on the spirit of Christ's Love rather than law or outmoded social rules. In St. Matthew’s Gospel Ch. 5/20 we read, "1 assure you, unless you have more religion that the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." He tnen quotes the laws and says that they are not good enough. Chris­ tianity is not built on the ten commandments but on a total unselfish love of neighbor. "Go first and seek a reconciliation with your brother. Then come and offer your gift. " (Mt. 5/24) Now apply this to your enemies! Communists! North Vietnamese! Negroes! People different from you!

A physician, living in a very nice suburban area had difficulty getting along with his next-door neighbor. The two of them seemed to see eye-to-eye on practically no issue. Tensions grew so great that the doctor finally ex­ tended himself and bought two lots in a much nicer neighborhood. He extended himself quite some too, because he paid as much for the lots as many subur­ ban livers would pay for a good home. The doctor didn’t tell anyone in the old neighbor­ hood about his impending move. He just went about making the proper arrangements to have the new house built on his new, high-class lots, and he dreamed of the day when he would be forever away from the irritating influence of the boy next door. His house was about half completed when he no­ ticed excavation on the lot which backed up to his and the preparations there for a new house. . The doctor was naturally curious as to just who his new r'_ iv-----m— '------neighbor was going tovbe, “ so’’he ->vtdid a bit of ating to -------find out who owned the property investigating that backed up to his. You guessed it.. The impossible neighbor from next door had got fed up with the doctor and had done exactly the same thing to get out of the situa­ tion. Without telling anyone, he had stepped out and bought a new lot because he could no longer stand the doctor who lived next to him. I don't know what these two men are going to do, but it would seem that they will either have to re­ solve their difficulties, maybe even build a com­ mon swimming pool, or they will both have to go into the real estate business. Man seems bent on doing in all life on this globe one way or another. He seems to have a faculty for killing. Violent death seems ever present when man is in the neighborhood. Whether by accident or de­ sign. whether by planned conspiracy or just happen­ stance, man is doing a good job of annihilating whole species, including his own. Every day on the road between Nashville and Pot­ terville new little bodies dot the pavement where violent death has come to wildlife during the night. Rabbits, squirrels, numerous birds, snakes, turtles who have died during the night, line the highway. Twice within the last few weeks, I have seen the ‘ lily having been wiped evidence of an entire family out in, as MacDuff said, "One ' fell swoop. . " It is sad to see four little bodies of baby raccoons', a whole family, apparently killed by a speeding car. by john boughton Fellow was telling me the other day about the two dumb guys (you pick the nationality. I'll be darned if I will) who went ice fishing. They had real good luck... Came home with a whole bushel­ ful of ice. The Detroit Tigers have nothing on the Maple Valley JC's baseball team. As a matter of fact the JC team seems to be right up to the Tiger form. Jim Erwin and Don Augustine were telling me that the JC baseball team went over toGrand Ledge where they played a game. Maple Valley led all the way right down to the final inning when they blew the game and the opponants came through with ■the win. There is going to be a dinner on Thursday to hon­ or Sammy Sessions. This is just an attempt to give Sammy some of the recognition he deserves from his home town. Not many communities this size can say they have a race car driver who has driven in the big race at Indy. We are all proud of Sam, and I for one, can hard­ ly wait till next year. Perhaps next year at this time we will be naving dinner for the winner of the big race. . Our cat Charlie has a happy faculty for getting into trouble that he can't get out of. Not too long ago he took on a squirrel and came out definitely second best. The squirrel still walks defiantly a­ cross our yard and Charlie won't even look at him. The other day Charlie was sitting in the yard, minding bis own business, bothering no one, when a bird swooped down from the sky and dive-bombed him, pecking him sharply on the head. My daugh­ ter, who witnessed the attack said she thought it might have been a cat bird. That sound logical. Charlie was in no mood to fool around with a bird, cat bird, dog bird, or what have you, so he took off for the front porch with the bird winging its way behind him, occasionally taking a whack at poor Charlie's head. Charlie spent the rest of the day looking out the window. He no doubt figured that discretion was the better pan erf valor. I have a friend who just returned from a vacation trip to Lake Nipigon in the northern part of Ontario. This friend says that everyone, particularly those of us who live so close, should get up to that coun­ try and see it now, while it is still wild and unspoil­ ed because be is erf the opinion that it will not be this way long. Tourists are coming in. mining interests are mov­ ing in and the country that is now a frontier will be civilized tomorrow. This friend told of going to a Hale lake, way back in the woods and seeing moose feeding while he fished.

Viehman Kentucky Press Association 203 W. 2nd Street Lexington, Kentucky 40507 - Dear Jack, The concept that a newspaper should carry advertising only from its imme­ diate area is outmoded, and has been for some time. It is probably based o n the situation which existed 50 or 75 years ago where there was a town, lots of empty space and another town. Each town was sort of a unit, and there was a strong feeling of cohesiveness. The merchants in that town used the newspaper to carry their ads, and the newspaper felt that its obligation to this immediate community. Then the changes name, The automobile and good roads made it easy to get from one community to another. Expanding communities made it difficult to define which community was which. Most serious of all, from the newspa­ per standpoint, was that merchants took to other ways of advertising to their prospects than just the newspaper. The whole economy became more competitive, and probably to the advan­ tage of the community as a whole. At the same time, a series of laws were passed regarding competitive meth­ ods and regulations were created dealing with this topic. The idea, whether we like it or not, is to the effect that no one merchant or group should have an unfair advantage over another. A precedent has been established, and still stands, that a newspaper is not a public utility, but a private enterprise. The publisher can make up his mind what advertising to accept and what to reject, but he must make these decis­ ions within the law. One of the important facts is that he cannot base this decision on withhold­ ing or1 giving economic advantage to any of the advertisers. If he wishes to re­ fuse an ad because he states certain policies, he has the right to do this. If he wishes to refuse an ad because of pressure from other advertisers who try to monopolize the newspaper or restrict competition in any way, he is im­ mediately guilty of violation of the law and subject to suit for three times the damages which can be established on the part of the advertiser refused. It is important for the merchants in his town to realize that they are also guilty erf the law. If they exert any pressure which threatens either the newspa­ per or the competing advertiser by suggesting they will withold advertising or anything similar, they are in violation of the law. They are also subject to a law suit for triple damages. There is no moral, legal, or sound business reason why your publisher can •• not accept advertising from nearby towns. I hope this information will help you and him. It might help also for him to realize that the anti-trust section of the federal government has actually acted in some cases like this, so it not all hypothetical. Best regards, Elmer E. White, Sec’y Michigan Press Assn , EDITOR'S NOTE: The above letter is one which was written by the secretary of the Michigan Press Association addressed to the Kentucky Press Association secretary and contains information worthy of being repeated. It is self-explanatory.

He got right into the heat of the fighting, logging over 1000 hours of combat flying time. He transported troops, ferried supplies, and evacuated wounded—all the time dodging enemy fire. Staton learned to his horror that what he had been taught by the Army over 19 yean was largely ignor­ ed tn Vietnam: "Irs a limited war and limitation is on the military, but in this limited war, I never saw a limited death. " He describes restrictions prohibiting the destruc­ tion of Communist strongholds and supply routes, deals made with the Vietcong, trade policies back home that help to kill our troops, and being shot at while under orders not to shoot back. Staton is a professional who doesn't like the way the war is being conducted. He says, "Playing pol­ itics with an Army doesn't happen to be in the man­ ual " He believes that victory is the only goal for which a serviceman should be sent to face death. He brings to the lecture platform first-hand know­ ledge and long military experience to provide solid answers to the deepening puzzle of the Vietnam War. He challenges every patriotic American to be­ come involved, to help correct the mistakes that are being made in America's name. The Barry County TRAIN Committee is being formed to help restore traditional American princi­ ples to America's foreign policy. Its immediate ac­ tivities will include demanding a prompt halt to all aid and trade with our Communist enemies, and ur­ ging that victory be our goal in Vietnam. Tickets for this speech can be obtained by call­ ing Mr. Lowry at 945-9977, by writing Mr. Lowry, or at the door the night of the speech. OLIN G.

Father ’« Corner "A large crowd was present with Jesus, and a§ain they had nothing to eat"... "They ate until ley were full. " Mk. 8/2-9. Hunger seems to be one of the greatest chal­ lenges for Christians. Our Lord said, "My heart is moved to pity for the crowd. " Then he did something to alleviate the hunger of the people. Today in our villages I know of hungry people. In the larger cities the conditions are even worse. The news each day carries reports of hungry na­ tions. Are Christians being moved to pity today. Do they act in a practical way to alleviate hunger? St. Edward, Lake Odessa, just spent$1,500.00 to beautify its sanctuary, with $5,000.00 left in savings. New churches are being built by the af­ fluent and for the affluent. Isn't there a pitying Christ in our world today, or has his sympathet­ ic heart turned to gold. Rev. R.

These sets are mounted on a special hospital TV cart for patient viewing. The carts are equipped with automatic cord reels and feature remote con­ trol and private pillow speakers. The personal pil­ low speaker allows the patient to listen to TV with­ out disturbing his fellow patient. The patient can also operate the TV from the pillow speaker and need not call a nurse or walk across the room to change channels or turn the set off. In the past, the hospital has received complaints from patients regarding fellow patients who opera­ ted their sets on a high volume. This is no longer a problem with the new sets. The TV hostess i n stalls the sets in the room, instructs the patient on the operation of the set, and collects the fees from the patient. Gift certificates are available forthose who may wish to provide a TV set for a friend or relative who is a hospital patient. These gift cer­ tificates are located"at the business office. The TV hostess is on duty every afternoon seven days a week to fill requests for service. Mr. Fluke, Director of Pennock Hospital, stated that the TV equipment and service at Pennock Hospital is of the latest design and that the hospital is proud to pro­ vide this service to its patients.

His wife and children also attended the din­ ner. . —News Photos Amy and I were both pleased and surprised to receive the American Press Certificate of Appreci­ ation from the Maple Valley JC's the other night. Tim Smith made the presentation during the a in ner in honor of Sam Sessions last Thursday night. It is particularly gratifying to be on the same program with Sammy Sessions. For me this is run­ ning in pretty fast company. Sam has proven him­ self to be fast company when he qualified for the 500 at Indy and then went into the race and stay­ ed in. The dinner honoring Sam, came as the top-off of Sam Sessions Day which was promoted by the Maple Valley JC's. This is just an attempt to let Sam know that all of his home town appreciates him and that we are all pulling for him in all of his races. At the dinner the Nashville Chamber of C o m merce gave Sam some luggage which should come in handy for him as he is on the road from one race to another. Sam has been doing a lot of traveling lately. Within the last year or so he has been to Japan and has been all over the United States racing. 1 think everybody in Nashville was thrilled to know that one of our own was going to be in the 500. Only the best race drives in the world get a crack at qualifying for that race. Many never do qualify and of those who do, many never hang in long enough to finish the race. So it is really some­ thing to have a Nashville boy in the race to the finish. This takes more than just a good machine. It takes a good driver. Sam is just that — a good driver. I think we often do not recognize the accom­ plishments of people close to us. We sometimes minimize the things done by someone local We tend to think the experts are from a long way off. This is tfchy I was particularly happy to hear that the JC's were having the Sam Sessions Dav to let him know that we recognize his accomplishments. The fact that Sam was a part of the big auto race at Indy is not half as important though as the fact that Sam is an important part of the num an race. We in Nashville are proud of Sam not just because he has done an outstanding job of race driving, but because he has done an outstanding job of just being a person. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER] It might be a good idea if the people of the town got together and gave Sam a map of the race­ track at Indy. He might need it next year because if he continue* the way" he has been going he will be at the head of the pack and will have no one to follow. The other day I got into a discussion with a fellow about goats ano he told me that a woman he knows bought a brand new red Mustang which she proudly drove to a farm to show some friends of hers. These farmers had a goat which had the ran of the yard and who was on his way to the bam when this lady pulled into the drive. The'goat didn't bat a n eye when the car blocked his way to the bam. He just jumped to the hood, walked over ths roof and jumped off the back end and proceeded to the bam. He left little goat-foot dent* all over the car. This guy also told me that when he was in the Ar­ my they had a goat which the fellow* in the com­ pany kept for a pet. One day a gang of these guys got together and thought it would ne a big yak to paint the goat.'s horns red and then put him in the officer's mess. So they did just that. They antagonized the poor ani ani-­ mal just enought to make ike him fume a bit and then pushed him into the officer's mess while the officer* were eating in there. The goat made the officer's mess a real mess. The joke backfired on the enlisted men though. The commanding officer lined up the men and ap­ prehended the culprits easily. The goat had not ta­ ken too kindly to having hi* horn* painted and had put up quite a fight. In doing *0 he had liberally splashed red paint over hi* tormentor*.

You know it's done right when you have them aligned hei Trowbridge Sales & Service 130 S. Main, Vermontville Ph 259-7285 Father ’« Corner From our own experience we know that Peter was right when he wrote to the Romans (Ch6/23) "The wages of sin is death. “ I really don't think this has to be advertised, for it is common place knowledge. But what most people don't realize is that they "have been freed from sin. " and that "God's gift is eternal life. " i. e. starting now. How does this freedom happen in the realm of practical daily life? Does it magteally happen somehow when one is baptized or has gone to Confession? In our Christian experience again, I believe, we’d all agree that this isn't always the case. Christ left the church at Easter the power of freedom and peace in the admonition to forgive one another. Peace and freedom ean come only through reconciliation between individuals and peoples -- ndtever through fighting and war. Reconciliation can happen only when men ac­ knowledge their common frailty and mutual harm done to one another. In the Catholic Church this reconciliation has taken the form of the priest representing the community in the comeuional box. A new form of reconciliation or confession is now being de­ veloped by which people are directly involved with one another in the peace-making. -making. Then sacramentally it is celebrated by the priest and of God's �CAROLYN JEAN GORIS Mr. and Mis.

I. stated that we backed the wrong party during 1954 in Vietnam. During that time, Ho Cni Ming was not an international-conspired communist; his inter­ est was to unify Indo China and kick out all foreign military forces. However, due to religious reasons, we backed the late President Dien of South Viet­ nam. Therefore, we drove Ho Chi Ming to the arms of the Chinese Communists. The bond between Ho Chi Ming and the Chinese Communist Government became much closer. Historically, however, the resentment between China and Indo China is very, very strong. Because of the division between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, Ho Chi Ming had to seek assistance from Red China. It is a natural tendency for Ho Chi A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL SERVICE WITHIN EVERYONE'S MEANS VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Nashville CALL OL3-2612 or CL9-8955 Vermontville HELEN’S BEAUTY SHOP ENGINE SUMMER­ READY KEEP YOUR CAR TUNED-UP.

In this case. Ho Chi Ming is no exception. For Red China, this provided a wonderful oppor­ tunity for exploitation of the conflict. The Chinese Communists use propaganda against "American Im­ perialism. " On the other hand? the Chinese use A­ merican military forces to weaken the North Viet­ namese military strength which borders with Red China. This will indirectly help future Chinese Communist domination in that area. At the same time, this is a good opportunity for the Chinese to embarrass the Russians, who have not helped the North Vietnamese enough by exerting pressure in Europe. The three points mentioned are a policy the Chinese Communists refer to as "one stone kill­ ing three birds." I am pleased finally to see Ho Chi Ming is will­ ing to be rescued from the Chinese Communists' domination by being willing to discuss peace in Paris. To me, I believe a suppressed Ho Chi Ming is no different from any other refugee trying to es­ cape dictatorial domination, which tries to destroy your self-respect and national independence. As a fellow refugee from Chinese Communist domina­ tion, I am grateful to LBJ’s rescue of Ho Chi Ming.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION INTERPRETING THE NEWS FEWER DEATHS Unless Labor Day drastically altered the picture, Michigan motorists have an impressive traffic record for 1967. Michigan traffic deaths on holidays, weekendsand during the week have dropped sharply from last year* levels while they remained unchanged nationwide says the Automobile Club of Michigan. In its continuing study of traffic mishaps, AAA re­ ported that during the first six months of this year, including the July 4 holiday, highway fatalities were down more than .17 percent. Injuries dropped an es­ timated 10 percent. Traffic volume remained at 1966 levels. What accounted for the improvement? Auto Club General Manager Fred Rehm attributes a major share of decrease to better driving habits of the state's 4 1/2 million motorists. "Michigan motorists are getting the message... the vast majority of good driven appear to be using that extra bit of careful­ ness and alertness to safety that is all they need to get them home safely. And more of the bad ones who've shown by their past records they are unfit to drive seem to be off the roads... on holidays at least," Rehm said. Michigan's July 4th death rate was down 18 per­ cent from last year. Among the seven largest states, in terms of vehicle registration. Michigan listed 30 deaths, up 7 percent over last year. Tais in com parison to Texas which recorded 71 deaths, up 73 percent from 1966. Much room for improvement remained, the study notes. Ninety-one percent of all highway accidents which occurred in Michigan duringthe July 4 th weekend involved "driver error. " The four top "errors" were excessive speed, loss of vehicle con­ trol, right-of-way violations and drunk driving. Driven with unsatisfactory driving records again contributed heavily to fatal accidents. Nine of the. 28 known Michigan driven involved in traffic deaths had more than the so- called average 1 i f e time record of four points. CRIME INCREASES Annual report of crime in the United States, re­ leased by the "FBI, shows another significant in­ crease in crimes of all types. Currently the in­ crease in crime outstrips population growth by al­ most seven-to-one. In Michigan, a total of 182, 045 crimes were committed in 1966. Burglary accounted for78,353; larceny for 47, 552; auto theft, 29, 277; robbery, 13, 061; aggravated assault, 11, 411, and forcible rape, 1,998. Murder and non-negligent man­ slaughter totaled 393. Michigan's Highland Park led the nation in total crimes committed in cities from 25, 000 to 50, 000 population. A total of 2, 848 crimes were reported there in 1966. Lowest in the nation in that popula­ tion category was South Euclid; Ohio, with only 67 crimes. FEMALE RESTRICTIONS The 10-hour day, 54-hour week limitations for women employees will be lilted Nov. 2. The 1909 statute which set the labor ceilings for female* was repealed this year when the legislature decided the law had become outmoded by other statutes, par­ ticularly by the Federal Equal Opportunity Law. Scheduling of hours should become easier for employers with women on the payroll, but other statutes will protect females from working under conditions which the State Labor Department may consider injurious. The Michigan State Chamber of Commerce back­ ed the move to scrap the 1909 law. The chamber represents hosts of employers of women throughout the state. "Progress has to be made," Mid William A. Wickham, legislative counsel fot the chamber. ELDERLY HOUSING Senior citizen housing in Michigan is on an up­ swing. reports the Michigan Commission on Aging. In 1964 only 22 communities had completed or were developing low-rent bousing projects designed for the elderly. These tow led 163 completed units in five comm un .ties. By June of this year, 62 Michigan communities were involved in Building and planning 7, 898 units. Eighteen communities now have 1,152 units .in op­ eration. • . • A growing problem has been the shortage of train­ ed personnel to manage housing projects. This is partially solved by new training programs instituted at Wayne State University and U-M. There is still much to ne done if Michigan is to reach to goal of 100, 000 units fot elderly housing by 1974, the commisstoo noted. The Maple Valley New*.

They said they had four leisurely days paddling down the PereMarquette. Of course they said the paddling was not too difficult because the current of the rivet is rath­ er strong. They put in somewhere near Baldwin and came Aout at Ludington. The trip took them from Monday to Thursday afternoon. A bunch of Maple Valley girls, chaparooned by Iris Wion and Mrs. Barrette, went camping at the camp ground at Ludington and, (what do you know?) they just happened to meet there. Amy and I took a station wagon up to Ludington on Saturday and then we went on to- Charlevoix in the Mustang. The kids seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I suppose it is good for them to get out in the air and get a bit of exercise. Looking at their camp sites though, did not fill me with any great desire to go camping. The older I grow the less enchanted I become with the thought of sleeping on the hard ground, getting up in a cold tent and putting on damp clothes. Cooking break­ fast over an open fire has somehow lost its appeal for me. It must be extreme old age creeping up. The summer which has hardly started is fading al­ ready. Much of the grain has been harvested. The fairs have started and some of them have ended. A chilly haze hangs over the fields in the mornings. The days are getting shorter, and just the other day I saw a Christmas display in a store window. "Christ­ mas in July?” the sign said, "Why not?" Why not indeed.... but still I hate to see them rush the seas­ on. Traffic seems to move smoothly until some nut drifting down the road at thirty miles per hour jams up everything for miles behind him. I wonder if these people realize just how danger­ ous they are. This type of driving is just as bad as driving too fast. The one who drives too fast seems to realize he is doing it. At the speed of 80 or 90 miles an hour one must stay alhrt. The driver going at this speed must work at driving. But the guy who drifts down the highway at 30, seems to be doing it quite at his leisure and so is oft in a dream, really not know­ ing what consternation he is causing behind him. A photographer friend of mine told me about a little problem he ran into once a few years ago. He and a reporter were on an assignment which was to take a couple of days. Since this assignment was way up north and the main office of the company he worked for was in Detroit, they took a company car and they got a motel room to stay overnight. In the early evening they decided they should go fishing. So they took the company car to a lake where the natives said they could catch fish. They parked the car just in front of the boat launching ramp and got out to see where the best fishing place might be. My friend, the driver of the car, thought he had put it in park but he really hadn't, and the darn car started toward the lake. Wildly shouting and waving their arms, both men took off trying to overtake the car. Friend did catch it. He got the door open and got in and just as he was trying to feel the brake with his foot he realized that the water was up to his knees. Now these two guys wondered how in the world they were going to get the car back on dry land. Buddy waded around to the front of the car and lifted the hood and told Friend to start her up. She started all right, but the fan was under water and sent a shower covering Buddy and drowning the en­ gine. They had to go to town to get a truck to tow them out of the water and they never did tell the motor pool what happened to the car. If they were asked they decided to just say they thought ft had a slight leak. Harold Christiansen, who worked out $480.00 dur­ ing the syrup season has donated his money to the replacement of maple trees in the area. I understand that 29 new trees will be planted this year. «* "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P.

Letter to Editor 1 know that this will make me some enemies and lose some friends. I might get me some new friends that feel the same as I do. I would not let my boys join the Little League due to some of the things I had heard about how mana­ gers only wanted to win games and not teach the boys to play the game right. I finally decided to let my boys join. I went to one practice. At the first game I was told I would have to be the manager. I have enjoy­ ed being the manager and I have a very good team. This team is sponsored by Wheeler Manne. This team must be the best team in the league, because when I play all but one of the teams in my league, they are afraid to let me have some of their players so I can play with a full team, or they give me any boy. It appears that they feel if I get one or two good men I would win. I think that Wheeler Marine should be very proud <rf their team as we always play oversized boys; often have to play a team that has more than 9 men and we play 7 men, but we play hard and fair. I went to a meeting of the managers just before we started the season in which we set some rules of our own to make the games more even, fair and fun for the boys. It seems that myself and only one other manager has forgotten those rules. The other night I could not manage my team so my wife took over the job. She knows nothing a­ bout basebalL The opposing team had 11 men; I had 7 men. No one offered to help her with the job in spite of the fact that the opposing team had lots of help. I have never had any help with this team. I have to leave to go to Air National Guard camp and will be gone for the next three weeks so we have no manager at this writing. I wonder what will happen to my very good team that is so feared by the rest of the league. Manager, Wesley M.

For more than ten years I have studied the Michigan political situation and in my book Rom­ ney-- which many of you have read--! believe I* demonstrate my grasp of Michigan’s political cur­ rents. It is my conclusion that we need fresh leadership in Lansing. The fact is, in two full years, the in­ cumbent has passed only one piece of legislation— a bill that raised the price of grapes! I believe that is a sad commentary when our state faces so many pressing priority problems. During the campaign I have shown a need to change the Branch Office License System which drains $150,000 yearly from Michigan's citizens. I have urged the re-shuffling of our crazy-quilt wel­ fare system. I have proposed programs that will mean $6 to $10 million for our state economy, gone on record to decrease our dependence on property ux and have also pledged myself to programs of law and order.

Why then should you choose a passbook savings account at our association in preference to some other avenue of investment. The answer is flexibility . . . and simplicity! Let's examine the many advantages of the passbook account. 1. With passbook savings you add or withdraw funds as you please . . . earnings may be retained in the ac­ count to compound, or paid out regu­ larly by check. 2. The money in your account is free from speculative risk and the unpre­ dictable ups and downs of the stock market. 3. You always know your balance at a glance and can easily tabulate what your savings have earned ... or the sum needed to complete your goal. 7 4. No huge minimum balance is required to qualify for the generous rate we pay on passbook savings. 5. There are no restrictions, nor any “hardship claim" to sign upon with­ drawal. 6. You need not lock up savings for an extended period of time to earn a good rate of return. 7. There is no certificate requiring safe­ keeping. 8. Passbook savings earn our current rate; whereas many certificates of de­ posit pay you less than the advertised yield if you redeem them prior to the term stated on the certificate. 4% % Per Annum on all Savings These are the reasons why most savers make a passbook savings account their first choice for profitable employment of family cash reserves. If your aims are the same, then a passbook-handy savings account at our association should be your choice, too.

City children enjoy week in Nashville Three tired, but happy children headed back for Detroit Sunday after spending a glorious week in the wide open spaces. The children, Michael, 8, and his sisters, Michele, 6 and Melanie, 5, accompan­ ied by their mother, Mrs. Elaine Ward, has spent the week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Edwin Smith. The trip to Nashville was sponsored by the Friendly Family Plan of the United Methodist Churches. It is difficult for those who live in a small com­ munity to realize the thrill of these negro children as they saw for the first time in their lives, horses, pigs, lambs, sheep and chickens. They rode ponies for the first time, visited a dairy farm, hiked back to a woods to pick up pine cones, and Michael had his first try at .fishing, first at Algonquin Lake, then later in Tnornapple River, fishing off the bridge on North Main Street in Nashville. Even riding in an automobile was a thrilling experience for tnese youngsters who seldom have a chance at something simply taken for granted by many. Tne children's mother, Mrs. Ward, is a parish worker in the Hillcrest United Methodist Church in Detroit. Cassidy will attend police training At Thursday night's village council meeting,Har­ old Norris announced the arrangements have been completed to have William Cassidy, Superintend­ ent of the Sewage Disposal plant, attend a 4-week police training schooL This will be held in Lansing and will start in early September. The village will be reimbursed approximately 507° of his wages dur­ ing the period he is in school. Plans now indicate that Cassidy will later be hired as a part-time as­ sistant to the Nashville Police Department. Otto Dahm, who is serving as a Council represen­ tative on the Centennial Committee, asked for fi­ nancial assistance from the village to promote a centennial celebration next summer. No action was taken by the council at this time. Russell Mead, Castleton township supervisor, ad­ dressed the council on a matter concerning a fence dispute. Since the two persons involved live within the village limits, the township fence viewers can­ not settle the matter and it was turned over to the village officials. Harold Christiansen, village pres­ ident, will appoint fence viewers from the CounciL No one was named at Thursday's meeting. Mr. Mead also called attention to the fact that exemptions for disabled veterans have been raised from $2, U00 to $2, 500 in the township and that next year it would changed within the village. This is the same exemption as that allowed for senior citizens now. He also reminded the Council that Bany County would vote in November on a 16 1/2 mill limitation, or 1 1/2 mills over the 15-mill limitation. He explained that presently the 15 mill provides the following: 8 mills to schools; . 7 mills to town­ ship; 6.14 to county, and . 16 mills to intermedi­ ate education. Witn the increase of 1 1/2 mills, it would provide the following: 8. 5 mills to schools; 1 mill to township; 6. 8 to county, and . 2 to imtermediate education. Mr. Mead brought samples of the primary ballots and explained the re-districting of the townships throughout the county which will result in a 10-man boarcL Some discussion followed. Village officers have been invited to attend a meeting in Lansing of the Municipal League. This meeting will be held September. 19. The discussion of the ambulance service seems to indicate that it is working out well. The Village has signed a con­ tract with the Michigan Highway Department on maintaining the trunK lines. Four new water services have been installed recently and one new sewer ser­ vice added. Edward C. Baker, head of the Charlotte Disposal Service, attended the meeting. Mr. Baker was the low bidder on a three-year contract for NashviUe garbage and trash pick-up. This will begin August one and Mr. Baker reviewed his policies with the Coun­ ciL The office of the vUlage clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU, will be closed from August 3 to August 12.

NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. AUGUST 8. 1968 Carl Tuttle dies at 88 Carl H. Tuttle, 88, of 224 East Sher­ man Street, died Monday in Fergurson Hospital, Grand Rapids. He had been in failing health several months, and was admitted to the hospital only a short time before his death. He came to Nashville in 1898 and the following year accepted a position with the Farmers & Merchants bank. He left the back to accept a position in the office of the Secretary of State for six years, 1905 to 1911 and had charge of the auto license bureau when it was organized in 1908. He then returned to the Nashville bank where he completed 25 years as director and assistant cash­ ier. Mr. Tuttle Was elected a member of the village council in 1917 and served as chairman of the street committee. It was that year Main Street was paved.

Wins "God and Country" award Steven Sunton, 14, son of Mt. and Mrs. William Sunton, 144 South Main Street, Vermontville, has earned the God and Country award. The badge was presented to him Sunday, July 28, by the Rev. Leon­ ard Maunder Ln the Congregational Church. The God and Country award is not easy to come by. For Steven it has meant 14 months of hard work and study. It was necessary for him to study the bas­ ic theology of the Congregational church on all lev­ els, national, state and local levels; make an ana­ lytical study of the bible; study the outreaches of tne church in regard to missionary and educational enterprises; be qualified to lead a service, and in addition spend bouts doing various types of work for the church. Steven has been a Boy Scout about two years, but his active participation along various lines has earn­ ed him 33 merit badges. His Scoutmaster is Henry CowelL After Steven received his award he presented his parents with miniature replicas for their encourage­ ment in his behalf. The God and Country award is not given by the Scout organizagion, but rather by the Ministerial Portestant Committee, which was approved by the Chief Okemos Scout Council of Lansing. This was the first such award ever presented by the Vermontville Congregational Church, and only the third such recognition given by the Rev. Maunder in his many years tn the ministry. The previous two weie given while he was in Illinois. The award is one rarely earned, but richly deserved. Steven has completed all of his work to become an Eagle Scout. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton The Village of Vermontville appears to be indeep trouble because it is unable to comply with an or­ der to install a sewage disposal system. Probably everyone in Vermontville would agree that dumping raw sewage in the river it not a good thing to do and yet wnere does a town of this size with a tax base that they have, get the money to put in sewers and to install a sewage disposal system? Polluting the river is certainly wrong and the prac­ tice should be stopped immediately. This is all well and good for me to say or for the courts to say, but somewhere, someone has to raise some money to pay for this and just where is the money supposed to come from? Many of the people of Vermontville on a fixed income would be hard-pressed to raise more money for taxes to pay for a sewage disposal system. O f course, I suppose the answer is the same old a n swer that we get for many of our financial problems: "Look to Uncle Sam. " Surely this problem of river pollution is not the problem of Vermontville alone. This is the problem of our entire state, of our en­ tire nation, probably of the entire world. We're polluting our streams and our lakes at an unprece­ dented rate and we must stop it! To stop it however, does mean money. I have a suspicion the state and the federal government. would wiggle a long time before they break loose with the money for a sewage disposal system for Vermontville. The shame of this, so far as I can see, is that people didn't realize fifty years ago that it was wrong to pollute a river, and fifty years ago, done something about it when they could af­ ford it. An added shame of it is that we're willing to spend money for things that don't count, but can't afford to put forth a little money for something that will be of lasting good. If we declare one day off in Vietnam, just stop killing and destroying for one day, the money saved would no doubt be enough to buy a new sewage disposal system for Vermontville and probably thousands of other villages this size. The shame is that we can afford to spend fantastic amounts of mopey on destruction and can't afford actually a paltry amount of money to save our riv­ ers and our streams, indeed, our land. The Great Lakes lamphrey program is suffering right now because the Federal government cannot afford to pay some $270,000 needed to carry on the program. This same government spends $270, 000 in a matter of minutes defoliating a jungle half-way around the world. It just doesn't make sense. Church News UNITED METHODIST STATE STREET The fifteen members of the Junior Choir of the United Methodist Church on State Street, presented the morning worship service last Sunday in song.

Chien Publishing Agency Social permissiveness short changes the child Many middle-aged parents today complain about the restlessness of our social structure. It has al­ ways been a most common practice in our indus­ trial society to pass responsibility to one's subordin­ ates or colleagues in order to survive. Most cf us have to examine our own responsibilities and duties to the family, community, profession and to our own position. In most cases, we blindly blame our today's social unrest to communist conspiracy, poor educational system, bad politicians. However, in very rare cases, have I ever heard a parent say, "Maybe I am too weak in disciplining my children." I have interviewed many young college students, as well as high school students, who have expressed their dissatisfaction for the lack of guidance from their family. They pointed out the encouragement of their parents for early dating for the purpose of social acceptability. In many cases, the parents wished for the children to make up their own mind even though they were only fourteen or fifteen years old concerning meir education, career or special­ ized field. In so many instances the parents were so proud to state their liberal mindedness in letting their children decide what they want to do. It is my opinion children deserve better tre a t merit in me coming years. Our children deserve guidance and teaching.

The care and affection of the children's future is more important co this nation's future. There is need for less selfishness on the part of the parents. This principle can also be applied to the relation­ ship between the busband and wife. To assume the leadership in family affairs by a husband is by no means to be misinterpreted as the husband no long­ er having love for his wife when he assumes leader/firmly believe to have a successful and stabil­ ized society, we may have to revitalize the role of leadership of the father, respect to elders, and fam­ ily discipline in order to have a mote orderly, pro­ gressive society.

As Man becomes conscious of God’s truth it is written down in meaningful thought patterns ac­ cording to man’s social and cultural understandln^The Pope has made a beautiful plea for the holiness and sacredness of life and Marriage. But it seems to have been made in the thought pat­ terns of the past centuries. For those who under­ stand him, they have a certain guidance for their practical lives. For those who have developed a new under­ standing of what is meant by the words " natural law’, ’’human life, " and "personal relationship" will have to continue to search their hearts in ap­ plying Christ’s unselfish and redeeming love to their daily lives. They must translate the Pope’s purpose and words to tneir new Christian con­ sciousness of parental responsibilities before the God of infinite truth and goodness. But above all, one may not act or live con­ trary to his personal conscience. Rev. R.

Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, August 8. 1968 �UUW Uldd»DU 6AVOUCH I Norm-All Citation Anette 5806993, a Registered Holstein cow owned by Norman Wilmore, Vermont­ ville, has been officially classified 'Excellent" -the highest designation attainable in the type classifi­ cation program of the Holstein-Friesian Association of America. This highly select designation is applied only to animals scoring 90 or more of the 100 points repre­ senting theoretical perfection in body conformation. Of over 84,000 Registered Holsteins officially class­ ified for type last year, only 1, 540 were rated "Ex­ cellent. " This animal moved into the "Excellent" bracket at 90 points for the first time during a recent class­ ification of the herd. Classifier was Roger P. Denny, Frederick, Maryland, staff member of the national’ Holstein organization. Animals scored "Excellent" in previous programs are not included in this listing. The Classification Program - in continuous oper­ ation since 1929 - provides a universally recogniz­ ed method of comparing the conformation of living animals with that of the True-Type Holstein cow or bull. Participation is currently at an all-time high level. In a game lasting only 4 Innings on Tuesday, Ju­ ly 30, Wheeler Marine won over Makers IGA 20 to 6.

Rhoades of 210 Sherman Street, Nashville, will observe their 50th wedding anniversary Sunday, August 18. An open house will be held from 2 to 5 p. m. at the South Maple Grove United Methodist Church located on the Dowling Rd. Friends and relatives are invited to attend. Mr. Rhoades and the former Alice Ridgway were married January 9, 1919, in West Unity, Ohio, by the Rev. Arthur Smith. The couple moved to Nash­ ville in 1927 and Mr. Rhoades started preaching in the South Maple Grove Church. He was ordained in 1948. In 1929 the North Maple Grove Church was added. In 1938 the couple moved to Scottsville where Rev. Rhoades served for 12 years; to Gladwin for five years; Chesaning, one year, and Evart, two years. Rev. Rhoades retired in 1958 and they moved oacK to Nashville. However, they needed a minis­ ter at the South Maple Grove Church, so Rev. Rhoades took over, and in 1960 he became pastor of the North Maple Grove Church also. In 1967 Rev. Rhoades was honored by the South Maple Grove Church for his 40 years in the ministry. Wherever the couple went they promoted building projects, one of the major projects being that at the South Maple Grove Church, where a splendid addi­ tion was dedicated in 1961. This included a large addition complex with basement, kitchen and Sun­ day school rooms. In addition to his ministry. Rev. Rhoades lias work­ ed as a decorator and carpenter. He estimates he has performed over 125 marriages, preached at 250 funerals and has baptised at least 100 persons. He delivered the first baccalaureate sermon held in the new Maple Valley High SchooL During his early years as a pastor, money was scarce, and often they were paid in potatoes, pro­ duce, meat, eggs and even laundry. Rev. Rhoades has never missed attending an an­ nual conference, where he has served on numerous committees. Mrs. Rhoades attended only once, the year he was ordained. Mrs. Rhoades has taught several Sunday School classes over the yean, and on one occasion served as superintendent of the primary department. Rev. and Mrs. Rhoades have seven children. Ford of Byron, Ohio, Edgar of Topeka, Kansas; Paul of Gladwin, Von of Smithfield, North Carolina, Mrs. Dale (Bernice) Conklin of Dowling, Mrs. Forrest (Naomi) Watson of Naples, New York, and Mrs. James (Ruth Ann) King of Bellevue. There are 11 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Because weather conditions might prevent some of their children attending a wedding anniversary next January, the open house is being held early.

This is one of many facts presented in the 24-page booklet. Truck Transportation in Michigan, an in­ dustry fact book published by Michigan Trucking As­ sociation. In Barry County there are 3,465 trucks registered. The numoer of persons whose employment is direct­ ly related to motor truck transportation in Barry County is 2,112. Their annual earnings were $14, 678,400. Truck Transportation in Michigan explains the in­ dustry's role as a taxpayer. Emphasis is placed on the special highway use taxes paid by trucks. MichSan trucks build 31 of every 100 miles of highway; so, in Michigan annual road taxes paid by one large transport truck (about'$2800) are equal to the payments of 25 automobiles ($112) Barry County truck taxes distributed to local gov­ ernments during fiscal 1967 totaled $250, 624. This plus the state and federal funds expended by the Michigan Department of State Highways brings the truck portion of total monies distributed and expend­ ed in our county to $294,136. Tourist Council advises side road trips Sightseers and other visitors to Michigan who really want to see the Great Lake State should get off those beautiful freeways and on to the side road— where the traffic action isn't, the Michigan Tourist Council advises. L> participating in the sunpiking experiment, the Michigan tourist office offers a few suggestions: 1. Take along a map, but use it only in emer­ gencies. 2. Use a car compass and surprise your passengers with wonderful feats of navigation. 3. Don't set a rigid time-table, and, at the same time, keep your arms and legs from becom­ ing rigid by getting out and stretching when­ ever you feel like it. 4. By all means, use your camera. 5. Keep a log of your trip. 6. ' Pack a snack of pre-packaged foods--just in case.

New books placed on the shelves this week in­ clude 4 botony and zoology handbooks. One of these deals mainly with mushrooms and other non-flower­ ing plants, making it easy to tell which species are edible delicacies and which are poisonous. Another special publication from the National Geographic Society, entitled "Australia" has been received. This is an immensely interesting book with 220 colorful and informative pages. Other titles are "R. F. K. - His Life and Death, " "Chronicles of Negro Protest, " "We're on Your Side, Charley Brown," '’Diving Into the Past," which has many fine illustrations and accounts of underwater ' ‘ , and "Facts About the Presidents. ’ Father’s Corner The story of the Pharisee and the sinner who went to the temple to pray has some interesting implications in it. For instance, why does the righteous man haveto judge and hold everyone else in contempt. I .think it is because-basically he is threatened by the sinner. He is insecure in his holiness. The < Pharisee seems to be living the hard life; be does everything just right. He even uses his money in tithing to secure his position. But who gets the breaks from God? The Sinner! The guy who can­ not afford to pay his way. The good man's pride in himself is threatened by the bad man's humble position because the proud man is a self-made man, whereas the humble man realizes that he must rely on others and God. So the one is an insecure position be­ cause it is false, while the sinner's position is true and secure because it fits all men even the righteous. Now apply this to Peace, race, poverty in this country. Rev. R.

The career producer has been credited with more than 100,000 lbs. of milk output under official testing supervision. The owner, Hubert Long, Woodland, has been notified that Hulong Baron Kate has produced 102,430 lbs. of miUc and 3, 918 lbs. of butterfat in 3, 357 days since becoming two years of age. Because of current replacement heifer rearing and purchase costs, cows that stay in the herd longer and achieve high lifetime production levels nave proven to be more profitable. The Holstein Associ­ ation has more than 26, 800 cows on file that have attained the 50-ton production milestone. Production levels of this magnitude can be attri­ buted -to scientific advances in feeding and man­ agement practices coupled with the genetic im provement and longevity of Registered Holsteins.

We have a letter in the paper today from Dorothy Swift, the superintendent of the Nortn Maple Grove Sunday School. The letter is entitled "I voted to close a Church" and it goes on to say that the writer has helped to close a church because she has not been as faithful in attendance as she thinks she should have been. I don't know exactly what this means. It indi­ cates that possibly the North Maple Grove Church is thinking of suspending services. Or at least that Mrs. Swift thinks there is this possibility because of poor attendance. Actually even if this were the case, it would not mean that an entire church has suspended services or that an entire church is even thinking of suspend­ ing services. It might mean though, that a small group belonging to a church might cease to hold services in their building. It might mean that one group, belonging to a church does not now, in this time and in mis place, have enough attendance to warrant holding regular services. This is too bad. It is something we hate to see. This little church, this congregation in the country, represents something that is the roots and the life­ blood of our history. Our forefathers, when they fust settled Michigan, attended small churches in the country and they developed a firm, fine attach­ ment that all of us, you and I have, for the things that we remember of our childhood. Often these things of our childhood, that we look on so fondly, we would not actually like to go back to.... the old rusty pump, the outhouse, the oil lamps, things that can be looked back upon hap­ pily, because somehow, nature builds into us a short memory for the unhappy things and makes us tend to remember the happy aspects of the past. This attachment to the past is a deeply emotion­ al thing. This is not to say it is bad, it u just to say it is emotional.' The attachment to this little church is emotional, just as our attachment to the little old school is emotional. _ But times have changed and things have happen­ ed to the church. Things today are happening to many churches. And the Christian church, if it is to survive, must change and continue to change. It is too bad that a small congregation must cease. But we must realize that all things in life are changing. The wild, independent rural society of our forefathers is gone. Agriculture has changed from their time to ours, transportation has chang­ ed, communication has changed. As these things have changed, farms have fallen by the wayside. Entire small villages have disappeared. Country stores have become a thing of the past. Crews of threshers going from one farm to the other have gone. Farms have consolidated, schools have con­ solidated, small town businesses have consolidated. These things have changed the picture of life in a small rural community. Despite the emotion with which one might view the cessation of a congregation, this really does not mean that all the work of the Christian Church must stop. It does not mean that children shall no longer be taught, or that children will no longer sing. It might mean that they will learn in a different place, perhaps, in a slightly different manner and that their song will be a new one. This does not neces­ sarily mean that ignorance will fall upon the entire land, though it may appear that way now. These things did not happen because one person failed to attend church. It happened because we are living in a time of terrific change. Ten years today can bring about more change than ten cen­ turies did up to the turn of the century. Indeed we all have things we look back upon fondly, and remember and wish we could have back, the red schoolhouse, the little country church the country store, home churned butter, homemade icecream, firecrackers on the Fourth of July, clean, beautiful rivers where kids can swim with no fear of being dipped in polution, the Model A Ford and Betty Boon. Don't despair, Mrs. Swift. The church has not ceased, it is only changing. Small churches, small schools, small towns, small businesses, are all fac­ ing change. We don't want to nor could we success­ fully block this change. We must go with it, ac­ cept it and do what we can to see that It is a change for the good. I VOTED TO CLOSE THE CHURCH Last Sunday I voted to close the church--not in­ tentionally, nor maliciously—but carelessly, thoughtlessly, lazily, indifferently, I voted. I vo­ ted to close its doors that its witness and its testi­ mony might be stopped. I voted to close the open Bible--the Bible that had been given us by years of struggle and by blood of martyrs who dieo that we might have it to read. I voteo for our minister to stop preaching the glorious truths of the GospeL I voted that the children of the Sunday School no longer be taught the stories of the Bible and no long­ er lift their tinv voices in singing. I voted for the voice of the choir and the congre­ gation to be stilled, and that they no longer sing in united praise. I voted for every missionary of the church to be called home, every native worker supported by the church to stop preaching, every hospital, every school, and every dispensary in its foreign mission­ ary fields to close. I voted that every home miss­ ionary project be abandoned, every Influence for good and right and for truth in our community to be curtailed and finally stopped. I voted for the darkness of superstition, the degrading influence of sin, the blight of ignorance and the curse of selfish greed once again to settle their damning load on the shoulders of an already overburdened world. I voted for all this. For you see, I could have gone and I should have gone, but I didn't. I stayed away from church last Sunday. Author Unknown. An Editorial Blood donors needed "AS I SEE IT" written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Who deserves the freedom and independence The current trend of college graduates who seek for employment is that they usually desire to join a large organization with a long term pension plan or federal, state, or municipal employment with the protection of the civil service system. In some ex­ treme cases, individuals wished to enter the teach­ ing profession because they wanted the tenure sys­ tem for job security. Some join the gigantic union­ ized organization in order to have their security for­ ever and ever. In many cases, they will be very inpartial in their political views or they will be very discreet of their own conviction. Especially, when they reach 30 or 40 years of age, thev are so afraid to lose a job which may jeopardize the ac­ cumulated pension fund that may amount to hun­ dreds of thousands of dollars. They are willing to suffer their stomach ulcers, physical impotency, al­ coholic behavior. The only occasional release they have is a one or two weeks' vacation.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR 4 PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry A Eaton Counties 13. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States S3. 50 per year I have seen many university professors so afraid to stand up to express their dedicated conviction in order to please the administration and so many tal­ ented executives willing to make a compromise in decision in order to wait out their pensions. In many - cases, even young leaders are so afraid to exercise their right to disagree with other leaders or inter­ national representatives because of their fear to lose their elected offices. In these cases, I do not believe we can consider these individuals as possessing the freedom and in­ dependence. I think our constitutional rights have been abused by themselves because of their fear. The fear is within themselves which results in a to­ tally mental self-torture. We have condemned the Russians and Chinese for their communistic pressure. We sympathize with the people who have lost their freedom and liberty because they are afraid of phys­ ical torture and maybe even death itself. But, I be­ lieve it is very important for us to be aware in our academic field to teach our students not to fear a­ bout losing a job because of job security alone. Many of our industrial leaden have the courage to risk their capital and economic security because Sbelieved in the free enterprise system. To tain a high economic productivity we must not restrain the free labor market. A long term pension can be considered as a long term slave contract in many industries. It is also unwise for industry to keep the productive executive in office because of fear of an increase in the term of rate which may affect the pressure insurance rate. In a free society the employee must remain free to seek the best offer for talent and performance. The employer must have the right to have the best workers in nis plant. This theory also applies to the educational institutions as well as organized labor unions. We must have dedicated educators, young leaden, and civil service employees because this great society of oun deserves the best and not rnediocracy. This Labor Day weekend someone you know may die because area blood reserves are dangerously low. The demand for blood is constant, but the supply is not. Blood supplies are rapidly used up over a' long holiday weekend. When supplies before the weekend are already very low, someone, maybe someone close to you, may suffer because there was not enough blood for proper treatment. Labor Day isn't a fun-filled holiday for everyone. Your unit of blood may save the life of a person dy­ ing of shock, injuries or burns. It may be used for someone undergoing surgery, for treating anemia or to help both a mother and her infant in childbirth. To help save a life takes only an hour of your time and a unit of blood, which nature will replace in a short time. Blood will be available to patients through the Labor Day period; only if donors give now. Don't let a lack of concern on your pan be the cause of a personal tragedy. Donate blood today. AU types of blood are needed, urgently, between now and September 6. Father *«. Corner Here is an interesting historical sketch of the manner in which the church forgave sins through the centuries. Originally of course the Lord appHed forgive­ ness at the Resurrection and was continued in die church^jhrough conversion and baptism. Once baptized the question arose; could a sin­ ner again be reconciled to the Christian commun­ ity? St. Paul and other early sources are not clear on this point. Sometimes they seem to say that certain sins could not be forgiven; at other times, that they could. But from about the second to the sixth centuries we find that the custom arose that a Christian could be absolved but only once after baptism, and that publicly by his Bishop after undergoing a severe penitential discipline. And even after re­ conciliation there were Imposed strict penances. Some of these were even permanent. Needless to say the sacrament of Penance was muaUy post­ poned as long as possible, normally just before death. Private confession and absolution began around the 7th century, being introduced by the monte in the British Isles, ■ By the 13th century cannon law regulated the sacrament and divided tin into public excommuni­ cation and personal guilt. r ° Rev.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION NEW CHANCE If you do not have a high school diploma, there may be an opportunity to get one at practically no cost through your local school system. Last June . some 4, 000 diplomas were awarded to Michigan ’ people who took advantage of the high school com­ pletion program conducted by 120 school districts throughout the state. Registration for fall courses is slated for Septem­ ber 9-27. Tb register, an applicant need only con­ tact his local high schooL Programs vary from dis­ trict to district but are generally designed to a c commodate needs of adults. Credit is given for a chievement, improvement and employment. Adult level night classes are held for those who work. Enrollment in the program has increased 400% since 1964 when the Legislature lifted age restric­ tions on students earning their diplomas. Prior to that time, local school districts received no state funds for students over 20 years of age. In order to meet expenses, districts charge students $20 to $25 per course. Adults may now attend school without charge. Success of the program is obvious, the Michigan Department of Education points out. In 1964 some 30,000 adults age 25 and over were enrolled in classes. Estimates for this fall exceed 120, 000. More needs to be done, the educators maintain. Presently 59 of every 100 people over age 25 in Michigan do not have a high school degree. An ex­ perimental program in southeastern Michigan this fall will attempt to "mass-educate" people in a five county area. Educational instruction will be beamed from a UHF station in the morning and early evening. "Stu­ dents" will use workbooks at home in conjunction with lectures. Any time the viewer feels qualified, be may take a General Educational Development examination from his local schooL The GED award is equivalent to a high school diploma. A second program is available for the 750,000 • Michigan adults 25 and older with less than a ninth grade education. This basic program, financed pri­ marily by the Federal government, is offered in 90 school districts of the state. Perticipants spend six to 30 hours per week in class either learning specific skills or working to­ wards "graduation” into the high school completion program. Enrollment procedures are the same as for the nigh school completion program. The Department of Education attributes growing success of the program to active support by the U­ nited Auto Workers union. The union encourages members to enroll in class, and local union halls are often used as classrooms. Last year, 16,000 a­ dults attended class; this year, some 20, 000 are ex­ pected. Classes are held both day and night. Contrary to charges by critics, neither program operates as a " diploma mill, " the department points out. Graduates of the highschool completion pro­ Sam who entered Flint Community College earned gher grades than students coming directly out of high schooL Students enrolled in the basic education program have increased their income, dropped off the wel­ fare rolls, and many have entered the high school program. Last June a Jackson man who began the basic edu­ cation program in 1965 was presented his high school diploma. In four years he had progressed from less than a third grade level to that of a high school graduate. Continuing education programs for adults are of­ fered by 229 districts in Michigan. These programs, which differ from basic education and high school completion, are entirely self-supporting. Students are charged enrollment, and a wide variety of im­ provement courses are available.

Courses range from business and commercial to arts and crafts, first aid and recreation. Some dis­ tricts offer courses in Americanization and Citizen­ ship for those who wish to become citizens of tbe United States, Over 2, 500 enrolled last year.

Milliken, charged by Governor Romney with the responsibility of oversee­ ing teacher contract negotiations, has sent a letter to the Charlotte School District in Eaton County where a contract has not been completed, urging negotiators on both sides of the bargaining table to resolve any remaining differences as quickly as possible. In letters to heads of bargaining teams, the Lieu­ tenant Governor emphasized the importance of ear­ ly settlements to "avoid any situation which might jeopardize full educational opportunities for stu­ dents". Milliken also reminded negotiators that the State Labor Mediation Boards stanch ready to offer every possible assistance. The Lieutenant Governor has said that he does not intend, personally, to become directly involved in negotiations, but that he is determined to take every appropriate action to make sure that nego­ tiations proceed as rapidly as possible, and that schools open on schedule. ■ ' 1 ■ ' Mrs. Hermina Southern spent Thursday and Fri­ day with Mrs. Claude Stowe and Mrs. Lulu South­ ern of Ionia.

The Grand Valley Council, Boy Scouts of Ameri­ ca, has launched a Fund Drive for obtaining money to provide new camp facilities for the Boy Scouts. The new camp is needed because the present fa­ cilities are not adequate to accommodate the ever Sowing Boy Scout enrollment. The present camps elude Camp Ottawa at Newaygo and Camp Sha wondasee at Muskegon. The new camping facility would be available to a 7-county area including Kent, Mecosta, Montcalm, Ionia, Barry, Allegan and Ottawa counties. According to Francis Squires, local Scoutmaster, the portion of land being considered is 8 miles north of Barryton on State Road #66 just north of the M e costa, Osceola County line. The funds needed total approximately $503,400 to purchase the land and to construct needed camp facilities and provide the necessary equipment. SEED WHEAT ALFALFA SEEDS We Have Them REMEMBER WE CAN MIX AND INOCULATE YOUR ALFALFA AND CLOVER SEEDS Pledges are being accepted from Scout families. It is hoped that each Scout family would pledge a minimum of $10 a year for the next 3 years. If this were done, the Council could easily meet its finan­ cial need. Pledges and donations are needed from all who would wish to make them, however, not only Scouts and their families. There are approximately 20 Boy Scouts in this immediate area and 50 Cub Scouts. Those who desire additional information may con­ tact Mr. and Mrs. Squires or Mrs. Arlene DeCamp.

My drive took off at an odd angle for me (a hook) and almost hit my wife who was hiding on the hook side. (She knew that was safe because awI never hook). My second shot sliced somei ful and didn't go much further than the drive which just drizzled. When I got close enough for an ap­ proach shot, after some flailing around, the darn thing went straight up in the arr and right down, not ten feet from me. Another attempt put it some­ where near die green and it wasn't until I attempt­ ed to putt that I discovered I was playing with one of those funny balls that is weighted off center to make it fly off in all directions. That can be very frustrating to one who doesn't play a real horsy totsy game of golf anyway. I like to think that is the reason I blew the entire game. For tome of us the Democratic Convention in Chicago was somewhat of a disappointment. They, the Dems, gave us the same thing the GOPs did.

Chien Publishing Agency Why do we elect the wea I th y ? As we watch on TV or attend the city or nation­ al conventions, we sometimes wonder now could so many individuals be able to spent $5,000 to $6,000 for their $500 dinners, $1,000 presidential club dues, continuously give cocktail parties, and keep on sending out hundred* of thousand* of cam­ paign literature on their behalf or someone else'*. The politicians keep on saying, "I have no obli­ gation and political indebtednessto any special in­ dividual or group. " The new* and TV advertising rate is considerably increasing, and campaign bud­ gets are constantly rising. To participate In politic* it seem* to me require* several important elements: a good education, a pleasing personality; plenty of leisure time to at­ tend all the meeting*; an unlimited campaign bud­ get; independently wealthy without being concern­ ed about the financial consequence* if defeated; stand on anything which may create a negative image. It teems to me these qualifications con­ f athen' original purpose for thb nation. The office holders are supposed to be public Matty of our great presidents like Abraham came from very humble background*. A formal education was not to stress­ ed. With'a long beard or without did not change the chance of getting elected or not. We used to respect people with courage and convictions. We' uted to trust people with ethic* instead of money. During the early day* of cMflf ipaigning, we did not have any public opinion poll*i or public relation* fund*. Politicians had direct <contact with the voter*, no middle man was involved. I admit there were many deal* made during the conventions. We also had many corrupted cabinet members during the 19th century. But it seem* to me today only the wealthy person b eligible to be elected either by inheritance or corruption.

Everyone is welcome to come. BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BACK TO SCHOOL Some 2. 5 million school children are scheduled to return to Michigan classrooms this month. Many may not attend opening day. By the last week i n August about 140 school districts had not reached agreement with teachers over new contracts, a ccording to the Michigan Education Association. This does not mean that teachers in those dis­ tricts will strike immediately. Some may; others will choose to begin teaching without contracts. Educational programs will suffer in those d is tricts where voters have defeated operating millage. Local school boards are in the difficult position o f satisfying teacher demands and maintaining aca­ demic standards while voters refuse to authorize ex­ tra revenue. Voters in 197 districts turned down operating mill­ age requests this year, while 339 propositions were approved. When operating millage is defeated, school boards face an immediate problem. They must either call for another millage election or re­ duce expenses. Increased enrollments make cost­ cutting difficult, and reductions result in over­ crowded classrooms, inferior programs, and loss of qualified teachers. The inconvenience to taxpay­ ers in loss of services is often more costly than the millage. A number of educators believe that negative votes on millage propositions do not reflect nega­ tive attitudes towards schools. They suspect that a millage vote is one of the few places remaining where taxpayers can express dissatisfaction with taxes in generaL No matter what the reasons, school children are directly affected by millage defeats. The prob­ lem must be sesolved primarily at the local leveL NEW TRAFFIC LAWS Michigan State Police report that 2,123 people died on Michigan highways in 1967, and 151,297 . were injured. It was the seventh year in which the death toll exceeded the • » 2,000 mark. CoL Frederick E. Davids, director, comments, "This staggering loss of life, human suffering and financial waste is, at once, tragic and unnecessary. While exposure factors of more vehicles, more miles driven and more drivers continue to mount, individual attitudes and responsibilities seem to de­ cay. " Statistics show that the average accident-prone driver in 1967 exhibited the same characteristics as in 1966. He is young, drives too fast for high­ way conditions, carries nine "points" on his driv­ ing record, and was probably drinking. He caused an estimated economic loss of $495 million in 1967 alone, enough to build four Mack­ inaw Bridges. Lawmakers introduced about 300 bills dealing with traffic safety during the last two years. More than 10 percent became law. Jack Green, managing director, of Traffic Safety for Michigan, credits the 74th Michigan Legisla­ ture with v'possibly the most significant record on traffic safety in more than a decade."

Most dramatic of all new legislation is that which: - allows police to impound your car if you’re driving with a suspended license. - makes it mandatory for you to take a "breath olizer" test if police suspect you’re intoxicated, or face license suspension. - limits the courts' and License Appeal Boards' options in hearing appeals under the implied con­ sent law. - requires motorcyclists to carry helmets on their vehicles, and wear protective eye glasses or have windshields when traveling more than 35 mph. - regulates operation of snowmobiles.

The Chamber of Commerce is spon­ soring the celebration, with the cooperation of all organizations and the council. The Centennial Committee, headed by George Vogt, president of the CC, would also like some financial assistance from the council. After con­ sidering the matter at Thursday night's council meeting, the matter was referred back to the Cen­ tennial Committee for a definite amount before the council takes action. The Rev. Earl Frost of the Church of the Nazarene, presented a copy of the plat and a declara­ tion of restrictions for the Fuller Heights subdivis­ ion which has been developed by the church. These will be filed with village records. The contract for picking up garbage within the village limits by the Charlotte Garbage Disposal owned by Edward Baker went into effect August 1. The three-year contract originally was for 360 cus­ tomers. Now the number of customers has jumped to 407, and the council voted to pay for the dif­ ference of 47 customers to the Charlotte company at the rate of $2.10 per pickup on a monthly oasis, which is the established rate in the .original con­ tract. In addition, the Charlotte company picks up trash at no extra cost, which reflects in tne cost of lower maintenance for the local dump. Bicycle riding on Main Street sidewalks contin­ ues to be a serious problem. There is an ordinance against it, but enforcement has been overlooked because it has been felt the children would be in greater danger by forcing them to ride in the street which is M-66 and a busy highway. However, pe­ destrians have been injured occasionally and the council feels some changes must be made. Village president Harold Christiansen appointed a commfttee of Otto Dahm, Rev. James Varner and Ben Ken­ yon to review the matter and it is hoped they can bring a workable solution back to the next council meeting on September 12. Throughout the village there are a number of lots—some with houses with no occupants, and others without buildings--which are covered with tall grass, weeds and trash,' and these are a poten­ tial fire hazard as well as unsightly. The owners are being contacted by letter asking that the con­ ditions be improved. Undoubtedly tne next step for the council will be passing an ordinance demanding that these lots be cleaned up. If the village has to do it, the costs will be charged to the owner. NEW & USED Jo hn Deere Tractors, C ombines and Balers INTEREST FREE New POLARIS and RUPP Snowmobile.

Main, Vermontville IQL3-9191 CL9-7215 DETROIT — Dreams, long the intriguing province of hope­ ful young lovers, soothsayers, wisemen, and Biblical proph­ ets, have come to the examin­ ing room of a psychiatrist at Wayne State University for in­ tensive study. Dr. Elliot Luby, professor of psychiatry, has used the brain­ wave machine and other scien­ tific apparatus in years of re­ search with patients. He has reached these conclusions: 1. Although dreaming has a psychological meaning, it is a biological process found in all mammals. 2. Infants and children spend a much higher percentage of sleep time in dreaming than others. There is spec­ ulation that infants ex­ perience 50% and prema­ ture infants 80% dream time: also that unborn in­ fants at one stage do noth­ ing but dream. This pro­ vides the necessary activ­ ity for the developing ner­ vous system. 3. At young-adult age, human beings spend from 20% to 25% of their sleep time in dreaming. 4. This percentage continues to decrease with age. Elderly people have the lowest percentage, not only because of this per­ centage decrease but be­ cause they sleep less. (At least until far advanced age.) 5. Drugs and food affect dreaming. The old folk myth that cheese sand­ wiches bring bad dreams has some merit in that cheese contains large amounts of tryptophan, which will affect dream content. The before-bed snack and the taking of drugs are by no means the only things that will bring about dreams on a cer­ tain night.

Later in­ stinctual causes originating from within you will create still another dream. “Usually, within the course of a night, five such dream periods will have occurred. The last dream is usually frus­ trating in that it seems ’un­ finished’,” says the doctor. Our physical side needs sleep to create energy for the new day, and the psychological side of us needs sleep “in the sense of withdrawing from the daily struggles and frustra­ tions of the day.” Dr. Luby divides sleep into two kinds: “slow-wave” sleep (from the slow waves shown on the brain-wave machine) and "dreaming” sleep, which is a more active type. The dreaming sleep has been found to be uniquely necessary for our emotional stability. “Dreams provide a big plus for man,” points out Dr. Luby. “Dreaming is the only way man can escape the bonds of time and space. He can dream fantasies without being criti­ cized. “So if you think you’ve had a bad night’s sleep just be­ cause of dreaming, consider that it may have been a good night for the mind, which in turn helps the body.” • 1 j; Advertise in the Maple Valley News FREE!

DEARBORN, Mich. — Four American Presidents used this I960 Lincoln as their principle car or back-up vehicle. Now the specially-equipped machine is retiring tc a permanent home in the Henry Ford Museum at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mich. It wiD be the newest of more than 300 vintage autos that will be at Greenfield Village on Sept. 7-8 for the Village’s 18th annual Old Car Festival. All of the other cars, however, will be pre-1926 models that will be taking part in parades, judging and automotive games. The relatively new Presidential Lincoln will be there because it officially becomes a part of the Museum’s great collection of historic vehicles during the Festival. One of the other Festival highlights will be an attempt by a Canadian assembly team to beat its own record of less than six minutes to put together and drive a Model “T” beginning with loose individual parts. The public may enjoy the Old Car Festival at no additional charge when visiting Greenfield Village on Sept. 7 or 8.

Ari work on display Residents warned about phony wiring inspector Residents of the Charlotte-Ionia area were warr­ ed by Consumers Power Company officials not to allow a "Wiring Inspector" who identifies himself as a Consumers Power employee to enter their homes.

There were 140 lambs in a shed at the west end of the barn, and at least half of these were lost in the fire. Also destroyed were the recently in­ stalled automatic sheep feeders. The cause of the fire is still under investigation and no estimate of the loss has been determined. The fire was discovered about 9:30 a. m. by Don­ ald Skedgell who owns a well drilling outfit, and his assistant, Raymond Garvey, when they arrived at the Smith home to do some work. Neither M r. Smith who is a mail carrier out of the Nashville postoffice, nor his wife, Betty who works in Battle Creek, were at home. After calling the Nashville Fire Department the two men started removing the equipment out of the burning building and getting the lambs out. They « managed to remove an elevator, scraper, baler and tractor from the building. They also got a number of lambs out, but many of them returned to the shed and were destroyed. When the firemen arrived they turned a hose on a shed and removed a power­ boat, and on the house which was in a direct line of the intense heat due to the direction of the wind. The intense heat did considerable damage to the well drilling truck and equipment. The Hastings Rural Fire Department was also call­ ed to the scene by the Nashville department. Their 1. 600 gallon water tanker made seven trips back for more water. The Nashville tankers, carrying 1, 000 and 1, 200 gallons of water respectively, made num­ erous trips back to Nashville besides several trips to a nearby creek. Late in the afternoon the Conserva­ tion tanker from the Yankee Springs department brought in a 5,000 gallon tanker to help extinguish the flames in the bales of hay. Firemen made many trips for refilling water tank­ ers as they fought to save the buildings at the Smith file Friday. --Photo by Gladys Richardson NUMBER 16 Art instruction, physical education schedules added The first meeting of the Fuller Street PTA took place Thursday evening, September 5th, with new officers in charge, a new elementary supervisor, and many new teachers in new and strange posts. Larry Filter, a member of the Maple Valley Jaycees, has been honored by being named the Jaycee of the Month for the Chapter. Mt. Filter was selec­ ted because of his outstanding work in the manage­ ment of the Junior League and also in the Little M League baseball games. . He is a State Director and Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee in the Maple Valley Jaycees. He is employed at Eaton Manufacturing Company in Battle Creek. He is married to the former Janice Woudstra and they have two children. KJeuM- COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO Ths attendance for the meeting was unusually good considering that it was held on the second day of the school year. Mr. Wesley DeCuypere, the new president for the PTA, presided at the meet­ ing. After a short greeting and introduction of his officers and board, Mr. DeCuypere turned the meeting over to Mr. Howard Yost, new elementary supervisor. Mr. Yost mentioned briefly some of the problems the school administration had been experiencing in filling all of the necessary positions before the o­ pening of the school year. Many teachers, origi­ nally signed for one grade, found they were being needed in other grades instead. As the following teachers were introduced, they came forward before the group, and were presented with corsages by the PTA officers. Kindergarten, Miss Nancy Whistler, and half-days, Mrs. Sylvia Williams; First grade: Mrs. Sharon Reese, Mrs. Ev­ elyn Lundstrum, Mrs. Viola Johnson. Second grade: Mrs. Margaret Johnson, Mrs. Elsie Mason, Mrs. Mary Gibbs. Third grade: Mrs. Eava Kalnbach,Miss Diane Diamond, Mrs. Erma Flory. Fourth grade: Mrs. Lucy Jacoby, Mrs. Eleanor Boldrey, Mrs.Max­ ine Housler. Fifth grade: Mr. Edwin Korpi, Mr, Ennis Fleming. Fifth and Sixth grade, and varsity basketball coach, Rex Balch. Sixth grade: Mrs. M ildred Hose, Mr. Ernest Jacoby. Mrs. Gladys King, who teaches Remedial Read­ ing, filled in a position as 6th grade teacher for two days. Mrs. Lynn Suida will serve as speech correctionist and art instruction will be under the guidance of Miss Aveys Holmes. This is the first time a full time art instructor has been on the staff at the elementary level. Mrs. Pat Stewart will be in charge of phys. ed. instruction for the elemen­ tary students. The vocal music post is still to be filled. Mrs. Edna Smith serves as Librarian and Mrs. Myrtle Fowler is the secretary at the Fuller Street school. Mr. Gayion Fisher is the custodian at the Kellogg School and playground supervisor is Rachel Beard. Ralph Wells and Russell Smith are custodians at the Fuller Street School; cooks are Margaret Swiger and Barbara Mix, and Melvin Castelein is play­ ground supervisor. In addition to Mr. DeCuypere as president of the PTA, other officers include: Secretary, Mrs. Lois Elliston; treasurer, Mrs. Phyllis Frith; corresponding secretary, Jan“t Gardner; Teacher vice president, Mrs. Eleanor Boldrey; Father vice president, Larry Carpenter; Mother vice president. Mrs. Arlene De­ Camp. Short discussion was held regarding the holding of the meetings every month instead of every other month; the nolding of a bake sale, with fluids ear­ marked to buy TV sets to make educational pro­ grams available to the students; the purchasing of needed gym equipment and other items. A question was raised regarding the Helping Hand program which last year the PTA voted to sponsor. Mrs. Kenneth Schutte is in charge of this project and additional homes are needed to make it a suc­ cessful program. The Helping Hand program involves having homes designated as places children may go whenever they need help or ate frightened. A sign is display­ ed in the window of these homes and the children are properly informed in school to go to one of these homes in the event they neea help. The proj­ ect was adopted in conjunction with discussion and the showing of a film last year about the danger of child molesters. One of the comments made was that perhaps there are older persons who would volunteer their homes for this use if necessary. Those who would like to find out about it may call Mrs. Kenneth Schutte or call the school office and give their name. The trophy was presented to Miss Nancy Whistler for having the most parents present at the meeting. It was voted to continue giving the trophy but to use the $5.00 for gym equipment. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. �NATIONAL NEWSPAPER BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton MAPLE VALLEY NEWS The world is turned upside down. Back when I was a kin we played cops and robbers. Everybody wanted to be the cops - they were the §ood guys. The same thing with cowboys and I n Ians. Who wanted to be an Indian? Not only were you on the side of ignorance, violence, drunkedness and rape, but you were espousing a losing cause. The Indians never won. The only time I can ever remember the Indians winning was the Battle of Lit­ tle Big Hom and the implication was - at least in the movies I saw - that they somehow had cheated. They had come into the game with numerical super­ iority, a preponderance of arms, more horses and a whale of a lot more Indians. But as I say, things have*changed. Today the cops are no longer the good guys. I don't think the cops have changed, but I think people's attitudes toward them have changed. Thirty years ago, back in Detroit, there was a bit of stir because an old Negro gentleman bought a used car, which, somehow, through a mixup at the used car dealership, had not been recorded as a sale. Somebody at the dealership reported the car as sto­ len. A Detroit policeman, seeing what was reported as the stolen car going down the street tried to appre­ hend the man driving the car. Because the old ne­ gro driving the car was deaf, he did not realize he was being nailed by the policeman and continued on his way. The policeman shot and killed him. The newspapers at the time made a mild protest that perhaps the policeman should have been just a bit more discriminate in his use of firearms. No­ body, as I remember, raised the issue of police bru­ tality; police stupidity, maybe, but not brutality. Nobody, as I can remember either, suggested that perhaps a white man driving the car would not have been shot, although I’m sure everyone at the time realized that this might very well have been the case. As I remember, the outcome of the controversy was that the policeman had every right to shoot the man. He had good reason to believe the car was stolen; he had good reason to believe that the driver of the car was purposely ignoring his signals to stop; so he shot him. Again, hs I remember it, the po­ liceman was exonerated. Attitudes have changed in the last thirty years.

Just the other day tn Chicago, Mayor Daley’s Silice force was willing to flail away at a bunch of ds, bashing heads, because they - the kids - were objecting to the way things are going today. In both cases, the rationalization for the violence on the part of authority was that the crowds were illegally assembled. The King's law made it clear that r e sistance of any kind wds punishable by prompt, vio­ lent, and often final, action. Mayor Daley made it clear that those who assembled during the Democrat­ ic convention without his blessing were subject to very extreme action. And those who did assemble without his blessing saw what the action was. Probably in both cases, had the assembleges been ignored, nothing would have happened. In the col­ onies, had the King's troops ignored the assembled masses, that the government had tried means other than violence in dealing with the situation, we, no doubt today, would be singing "God Save the King " instead of ’’America the Beautiful. " And from the British point of view, this would not be bad. But it didn't happen that way. Two hundred years ago the authorities, or authority, decided to make an issue. Today authority made an issue at Chicago to change. Perhaps the pouce brutality in Chicago, the same as the military brutality in Concord, two hundred years ago, had precipitated a change for the better. May­ be out of this will come an American attitude of ac­ ceptance of dissent. Had Hitler had a few wild-eyed long-hair, dirty, if you please, dissenters instead of his "Sig-Heiling" conservative, storm troopers, the world today might be different. Rather than knocking the heads of the kids who ob­ ject, perhaps we would be wise to look into their objections. They may have good reason for protest­ ing.

If it is not obeyed, regardless of bow petty the law was, death was the reward. Today a man caught stealing a loaf of bread would certainly not be shot. Probab­ ly even the most conservative among us would say this is not the way to handle the situation. Yet there are many of us today who would advocate shooting a man for taking a television set. The point is that our attitudes have not changed much; we have only moved the line at which we are willing to shoot a man. At Lakewood MIDDLEVILLE WAYLAND At Portland HAMILTON (H. C.)

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Ha t e is one way to riches and fame Stokley Carmichael, from a very humble back­ ground and who preaches hate and class struggle, is now purchasing a high-priced mansion in the East and married a society singer. Mao Tse Tung preached bate which helped him reach wealth and fame in order for him to live a long life and accumulate six official wives and hun­ dreds of concubines. I understand the political campaign fund for for­ mer governor George Wallace has increased tre­ mendously in many states, and the publishers for ex­ treme right and extreme left groups are making siz­ able profits this year. Let us common people use our limited intelli­ gence and some educational experience to look into a deeper layer. I am sure we will discover these people, these extremists, usually are cowards in the battlefield. They will make someone else to be a martyr for sacrificing their life. For they themselves like to manipulate human relations, create hatred among people, making political or economic profit from the mass people by using the emotional a p proach to gain sympathy which leads to wrong con­ clusions. In layman's language, they tend to treat us as suckers; in political language, we are referred to as the mass people. They pick our pockets when we are not careful; they rob our vote by our ignorance. This type of people have operated successfully dur­ ing the last five or six thousand years of human his­ tory. This year's political campaign will be much more sophisticated than previous years. The professional human relations manipulators have created tremen­ dous false images for different political candidates. They utilize the humans' fear and greed to help their masters get into office. They can make an honest statesman appear as a crook; they can make a war monger appear as a political dove. Some po­ litical campaign specialists openly stated, "Any in­ dividual with an average IQ plus $60, 000 cash can be assured of a good chance to be a United States Congressman." This is most discouraging and a dis­ illusioned political phenomenon. We, as individual voters, shall reclaim our vot­ ing rights not to be sucked in as political naive vo­ ters. We deserve a fairer and a more justified treat­ ment as voters from all the political candidates.

A total of 105 children completed all 4 applica­ tions. . Fluoride should not be considered as a substitute for regular care of the teeth either at home or by the dentist. Although fluoride applications can help Bsnt cavities, it is still necessary for children to their teeth thoroughly, particularly after meals, avoid between-meal sweet snacks, and vis­ it their dentist regularly for professional care. The poem Miss Becker, dental hygienist wrote on the Blackboard was: Brush your teeth the wav they grow Down from the top and up from below.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. 1968 One killed, one injured in accident Monday Barry County's 15th fatality of the year occurred at 1:40 am Monday, September 16th when Robert A. Dvoracek, 23, of 212 1/2 South Main Street, Nashville, was killed in a one-car accident just north of the Barry-Calhoun County line on M-66. State police from the Battle Creek post said a car driven by Robert C. Schwab, 21, of Route 2, Vermontville apparently failed to negotiate a curve. The car broke through the bridge guard rail and Landed in Wanondoger Creek. Schwab is in fair condition in Leila Hospital, Battle Creek. An autopsy will be performed on Dvoracek by a Barry County pathologist, state police said. Canadian man arrested by Nashville officer Patrick G. Byrnes, 51, of Hamilton, Ontario,Can­ ada, was arrested Wednesday afternoon of last week by Nashville Marshal William Cassidy and charged with driving under the influence of liquor. He was taken to the Barry County Sheriff's office, where he was given the breath test. He pled not guilty to the charge and was placed under $1,000 bond and ta­ ken to the Eaton County jail where he awaits trial. Cassidy first noticed the car at the intersection of M-66 and Maple Street in Nashville. A short time later the same car was coming out of Reed Stre~c onto North M-66 and the car was swaying from one side of the street to rhe other. Cassidy followed the car north to Thomapple Lake Road and they asked Barry County for assistance. There was no car immediately available, and Cassidy was asked to follow in pursuit. He overtook the Byrnes car at the intersection of M-43 and M-66, and at­ tempted to stop the driver by turning on the siren. According to Cassidy the driver apparently did not hear the siren, for he continued on his way. Cass­ idy finally stopped him at M-66 and M-50 intersec­ tion where Cassidy was advised by Barry County to hold until Barry County officers arrivecC According to the police report Byrnes had at­ tended a wedding Saturday, and thought Wednes­ day was Sunday. He said he came from Ann Arbor, and was going to Kalamazoo, although he was driv­ ing north. He said the car belonged to a friend, but didn’t know the name. All in all, it looked like a new version of a "Lost Weekend. " NUMBER 17 Maple Valley football team wins first encounter, 13-0 Maple Valley's Lions got off to a good start Fri­ day night in their encounter with the Lakewood High School football team. They came home with a 13-0 victory. The first Maple Valley touchdown was made by Walt Shaw. The team made the most of two scor­ ing drives engineered by the passing ability of Steve Stine. The senior quarterback got the Lions on the scoreboard in the first quarter with an 11yard touchdown aerial to end Shaw. The Lakewood Vikings held Maple Valley score­ less for the next two quarters. The Lions' defense was up to the task and did not allow their opponents to cross the mid-field stripe. A fine team effort on defense paid off for Maple Valley. The final touchdown came in the fourth quarter as Stine cranked up the Lion offense. Orvin Moore smashed over from the one-yard line to make the touchdown. Two f: : passes from Stine to end Walt Shaw highlighted this last march. The defense then took over and contained Lakewood's last scoring bid. John Bursley did exceptional defensive work, as he took part in 12 tackles. Coach Bill Gibbs states that his team will meet Middleville this Friday on their home field. The Jaycees have bought a tackling sled for team workout. United Fund Drive goal set at $1500 The September meeting of the NAUF was held at the Phillips Street United Methodist Church. Elaine Higdon, Isabel Welch, Yvonne Appelman and Carroll Wolff were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a term of three years. The following officers were elected for the 1968­ 69 year; President, Freida Laurent; vice president. Carroll Wolff; treasurer, Yvonne Appelman; secre­ tary, Carrie K Caley. The date for the United Fund Drive is from Octo­ ber 1 through October 12. The goal set is $1500.00. Maple Valley School employs personnel of 130 Maple Valley Band to present "Seasonal Sports" Mr. Ruben Droscha, director of the Maple Valley Band, has announced that precision drills and dance routine formations will be a part of the band's per­ formance Friday night during the Middleville-Ma­ ple Valley football game.

The present enrollment in the Maple Valley Schools is 1, 842 students compared with a total en­ rollment last year of 1, 783 students. There are presently 396 students enrolled at Fuller Street El­ ementary, 178 at Kellogg Elementary, 471 at Ma­ plewood Elementary, ana 797 students at the Jr-Sr. high school. The largest class in the school district is the kindergarten with an enrollment of 175 stu­ dents, and the smallest class is the senior class with an enrollment of 90 students. �Letter to Editor BACKSTREET BAROMETER The other day some colleagues and I were having coffee when a young man came through the cafe­ teria line. I had often seen this fellow before. Prob­ ably in his thirties, he was nice looking and I would assume he was a minor executive or perhaps a clerk in one of the state offices. Ordinarily one couldn’t have told him from the hundreds of other clerks or minor executives in state offices, just by looking at him though his hair does tend to be slightly longer than the average.but only slightly. This day, however, he did look a little different. Instead of the uniform, white shirt, four-in-hand tie, suit or sport coat, this man was wearing a white turtle-neck shirt. He had a peace symbol hanging on a chain around his neck and as he walked through the cafeteria line for his coffee, one of the fellows having coffee with me remarked, " It’s a good thing that man doesn't work in my office, because if he did. I’d fire him." * I questioned this friend of mine just a bit on what grounds he could fire the man. It turned out that ute grounds were because the fellow was a hippie. We talked of other things for awhile and then all of a sudden through the cafeteria line came another man, in a turtle-neck shirt, but this one had a beard. "Ok, friend, " I said, "what about this fellow?" "This one I’d fire also," he said. "Why?" "Because not only did he have the turtle-neck sweater, but he haa a beard. This was absolute proof that he was a hippie. " Now I asked my friend, "What if he’s growing a beard because his town is having a centennial. "That’s entirely different, " friend said, "I wouldn't fire him for that because everybody in town would be doing the same thing. " I didn’t pursue it any further because I had by now concluded that fnend wasn't too logical, and talking logically to him would mak“ no difference. He had condemned two men and would have been willing, apparently, to fire two men because he thought they were hippies. This apparently is a crime of some sort. But he didn't bother to talk to the men. He concluded their philosophy did not co­ incide with his because they did not dress the way he did or the way the majority of people were dress­ ing. He was, in effect, willing to deprive either or both of the men of their means of livelihood be­ cause they refused to conform. When presented with a hypothetical situation of everyone in town growing a beard, then growing a beard was all right because this was conforming. My friend’s attitude is somewhat understandable. He represents the establishment and anyone who does not conform tends to shake the foundations of the establishment. The important thing, what the hippie really thinks, what he really feels, is not a part of the question. The stand is taken on what he looks like. Now practically all thinking people can look at this stand and say it is ridiculous. This is not Dem­ ocratic. This is not American. Our country was built on the freedom and the rights of the individ­ ual. We are so fiercely jealous of these freedoms and rights that our courts bend over backwards to see that the rights of a man, even a man accused of murdering a president, or a senator, are pro­ tected, and his rights become equally important to the rights of the great mass of people. We say we like individuality, we pretend that we stand for in­ dividuality and freedom, but I wonder if the major­ ity of us do, if that freedom and individuality does not conform with our ideas of what a person should think, what a person should do, of how a person should even dress. On the one hand, we venerate hippies and non­ conformists, Communists, if you will, who 2000­ years ago refused to accept the authority of a state, refused to admit that that state was the highest pow­ er in the universe. And on the other hand, we are by john boughton willing to refuse to allow a kid to come to school because he grows his hair a little longer than the establishment thinks is proper. We cnoke up with emotion on the 4th of July, listening to speeches about our forefathers who were willing to stand up to a King, who were willing to lay their lives on a line, to start an entire new country because they believed in democracy and freedom, because they believed that anyone, anywhere should have the righ*’ to stand up and protest and object to any gov­ ernment or any authority , and on the other hand, we approve policemen in Chicago bashing in the heads of a bunch of kids because they have the au­ dacity to stand up and protest, because they have the moral fortitude, the guts, to object to the es­ tablishment. I say bless the protesters, bearded . hippies, those who carry signs, who insist on rights for teachers and for workers, who dress in kooky clothes, who let their hair grow. I say, bless them. They may not inherit the world, but they may darn well keep the silly establishment from blowing the entire thing sky high. I cannot see why the Village Council erecu<igns on Main Street and not inforce the laws. Double parking on the street is getting to be terrible. Some of them leave their cars running while they enter the store*. ' ~~ ■" I think there should be a stop to turning around ' on Main Street and also backing up to the curb to load and unload. I believe the stores have doors in the back for that purpose. I asked one of the council members what those rectangles were for... he said so persons would not park in that space and on the sidewalk. There has been plenty of that kind lately. Will Martin My family was in attendance at the first Varsity football game of the Maple Valley season. We were more than pleased with some things that hap­ pened. The conduct of coaches, football players, and specutors was excellent. One thing that really should be commented on is the time of prayer be­ fore the game. We. as parents, are thankful that we have coach­ es and players who will uke the time and recog­ nize our one God and Maker and thank Him for jheir well-being. Thanks to those responsible. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Pennock ”AS I SEE IT” writted by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency JFhat is the Establishmen t? In recent years, we have heard of the political unrest, the social unrest, the industrial unrest and sometimes even the family unrest are based upon a conflict of interest. In many cases, people nave called against the establishment. Whether this anti­ establishment movement is good or bad remains to be seen. We have learned from history that the American Revolution was a movement against the establish­ ment of the colonial government. We have also learned that the Civil War was a freedom move­ ment. If we really try to evaluate the anti-esub lishment movement, we can even classify our in­ dustrial revolutions and the transformation from ' horse and buggy days to modem automobiles and the missile age as a progress of change of the stat­ us quo movement. The anti-esublishment people are always trying to destroy the sutus quo condition. Usually, the es­ tablishment has become cumbersome, bureaucratic, regressive, and internally decayed. Then the social, military and industrial revolutions set in. The basic factor of the United Sutes which is dif­ ferent than any other nation is that we have the freedom to anti the esublishment without being penalized. We have elections. We have elections on all levels of the government, which even i n eludes the social service clubs and country club of­ fices. It is hard for me to undersund that in such a fine and well-designed system, we have to resort to vio­ lence in order to have a change. It also seems to me that in a free, competitive, economic society we do not have to fear about reprisal* coming from the giant industries for unreasonable competition because regardless of political bosses, one cannot afford to be regressive and corrupt because he has to face election time. The big business will never be able to hope to mainuin the sutus quo to enjoy the monopolitic privilege because their small com­ petitors will overtake them if they do not remain progressive and competitive. The young leaders nave to be dynamic and educated in order to main­ uin their leadership. This principle applies to the educational institutions to be dedicated and be able to meet the social needs. In conclusion, the esublishment in the Ameri­ can society has to be consUntly progressing to mainuin a sutus quo because our democratic and free competitive social economic structure will never permit any individual or organization to en­ joy the sutus quo condition forever.

This motion passed with four votes in favor and two abstentions. The council voted another $250 to the Maple Grove-Castleton township fire department for cur­ rent expenses. A discussion of new fire hose was made but no action taken. Signs are to go back up regarding no bicycle rid­ ing on the sidewalks on Main Street. There is an ordinance stating there shall be no riding of b i cycles on any village streets. But since Main street is a state highway (M-66) this law has not been en­ forced, feeling tnat rhe children were safer there than in the street. It was also suggested that chil­ dren walk their bikes in the two-block area from Washington to Sherman street, thus slowing down the youngsters in the busy area. A petition, signed by over 300 persons, was pre­ sented to the council by Maynard Perry, concern­ ing stray dogs. The petition read: "We, the under­ signed, support the past method of shooting and dis­ posing of stray and dangerous dogs by our police de­ partment. We further support our village govern­ ment in making and enforcing new and stronger dog laws to solve our rather bad nog situation. " No ac­ tion was taken, but will be given further study by the village officials. Meanwhile it is understood the Barry County supervisors are drafting new plans for issuing warrants u. persons who allow their dogs to run at large, and Nashville officials would like to coordinate any new restrictions with those being discussed by the county. In routine business tne bills were allowed, and $6,200 was voted to be transferred from the inci­ dental to the street department. Mrs. Ada Skedgell asked permission to have her sister, Mrs. Phyllis Skedgell, take over her duties at the village hall for one week, starting Monday. Permission was granted.

This is an annual event, honoring the past presidents, each of whom was presented with a lovely corsage, made by Mrs. Florence Benson. Following the dinner Mr. Christopher King, local architect, gave a very interesting and thought pro­ voking talk, "Look Backward to Go Forwari " He gave many ideas on what the club members can do to improve our village. As a civic organization he feels club members should do their very best to cre­ ate interest among the village residents. It was most encouraging to see how many new members wish to join the club, many of them young ladies. This is indeed an asset to any club group and the club is indeed looking forward to a most successful club year.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, September 19, 1968 �Church marks 130th anniversary September 21 and 22 the Flat Congregational Church of Vermontville will celebrate the 130th anniversary of its founding. Plans have been com­ pleted for this two-day celebration, of which one of the highlights will be a banquet in the Griswold Room Saturday, September 21, at 7 p. m. Toast­ master for this event will be Stanley Trumble who is a member of the board of trustees of the church. The speaker for the evening will be Dr. George V. Bohman, chairman of the Sneech Department of Wayne University who, in addition to being a gifted speaker, is an authority on the historic churches of Michigan. Several former ministers of the church . have been invited, as well as many former members who have moved to other communities. Due to a limitation of space, reservations will be necessary for the banquet, and reservations may be made by calling the church. Sunday, September 22, a special anniversary ser­ vice will be held in the church. Guest minister for this service will be Dr. Vaughn Abercrombie, Exe­ cutive Secretary of the National Association of Con­ gregational Churches, with headquarters in Mil­ waukee. Following there will be a coffee hour in the Griswold Room. In 1836 a hardy group of men and women from East Poultney, Vermont, and nearby villages, made the long trek West and settled in that section of Maple Valley which they named Vermontville. With few exceptions this group had been members . of the Congregational church in their native state. In the first years, following their religious tradition, they met for worship informally in various homes as they were built. In 1838 a Congregational church was formally organized, and the record of that or­ ganization is recorded in the county records of Ea­ ton County. In 1839 a log cabin was built as a church, but by 1843 this was supplanted with a frame building t\4o stories high which served as the first school and became the chapel for church ser­ vices on Sunday. Many well known figures inMich­ igan history received their first education in this school, and their first religious training in this church. The building still stands and is in remark­ ably good shape, being used presently as a museum So good to be with Good things go together^^b^- WBCH I radio 1220 »5 7 161 1220 Barry County's good music station.... . . Photo by Gladys Richardson ON YOUR DIAL WBCH Hastings - Barry County sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society. In 1862 the present church building was erected, and has served the community since that time. Thia building with its steeple towering 110 feet above the ground, has been a landmark for many years. Not only is it a landmark, but is one of the classic examples of the architecture of that period and has been widely photographed. So authentic is this mod­ el of architecture that recently it was made the subject of an architectural study by the National Historical Society, and pictures, scale drawings etc. , may bejound in Jfte Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. It is believed, although this cannot be definitely documented, that this is the oldest Congregational church worshipping in the original building, in the State of Michigan. For 130 years this church in good times and bad, has sought to minister to the needs of the people. For 106 years its lofty steeple has looked down on this quiet village, proclaiming jb belief that there is strength and nope, and grace for all. The present minister of the church is the Rev. Leonard H. Maunder, who with the present congre­ gation .is proud of this heritage, and invite auto share this significant anniversary with them.

There will be a Field Representative there, with a film to show how and where this money is used. The goal is $1, 500 again this year. Volunteers are still needed to solicit in some a­ reas. • Deadline near for applying for grants October 14 is a deadline for high school seniors to remember. . , More than $10,000, 000 is at stake. As much a s $1, 600 per student. High school seniors who wish to apply for State of Michigan tuition grants or competitive scholar­ ships must take action by October 14. "The simplest thing foe them to do, " explains John C. Hoekje, president of the Association of In­ pendent Colleges and Universities of Michigan, "is to see the counselors at their own schools for forms and advice. "These state funds are available, " he said, "for students who wish to attend universities or colleges in Michigan next Fall. The amount varies, but as much as $1, 600 may be available to each student for the academic year. "A maximum of $800 per year in tuition grants for use in private colleges, and another scholarship maximum of $800 per year for private or public col­ leges, are separate and distinct. A student who fails to qualify for the competitive scholarship may still be eligible for the tuition grant if he meets the ad­ mission standards of a private college in Michigan." Hoekje pointed out that a high school student doesn't have to make up his mind which college he wishes to attend, or even if be will definitely at­ tend college, before the October 14 filing deadline. These details can be settled at a later date, he ex­ plained. The following volunteers have been given terri­ tories: N.

NUMBER 18 Meet ing Thursday to discuss sewer solution A special meeting will be held Thursday evening in Vermontville when village officials, their attor­ neys and engineers hope they can come up with a means of programming a workable solution to fi­ nance their sanitary and storm sewer system. Any­ one interested is welcome to attend. The State Water Resources Commission stepped in last July to order the village to complete their sewage facilities by April 1, 1970. The local of­ ficers first met with this commission back in Feb­ ruary of 1966. At that time the commission records showed waste from a 30-inch sewer was being dis­ charged into an open ditch which drains into Thorn­ apple River. Since that time considerable work has been done to correct the situation, but the main problem is a lack of finances to handle the construc­ tion. * An engineering firm was asked to make a survey of the village and draw up plans suitable for a sew­ er system. Due to the kind of soil in the village it was recommended a lagoon system be used. This required some 40 acres of land with ponds taking up about 12 acres. A suitable plot of land was located on Anderson Road, east of South Main which the village purchased, along with a right-of-way across another piece of property. In order to help finance the project the village, in 1967, voted to increase the tax millage from 12. 5 to 15 mills. The village also appealed to the Farm Home Administration tot financial assistance, but the only word from this source, so far, has been "insufficient federal funds," The estimated cost, calculated back in 1967,was $469, 000. 00 and with a general rite in costs since that time, it could easily go higher now. It is hoped some workable answer to Vermont­ ville's problem will develop at Thursday night's meeting. F uture F armers to hold Gun Safety Clinics The Maple Valley Future Farmer* of America will be conducting a gun safety clinic at the Maple Valley High School. The first meeting will be September 26 in the high school auditorium. The other two meetings will be held October 3rd and October 10. All meet­ ings will be from 7:00 to 9:00 p. m. The FFA encourages parents and friends interest­ ed in guj*, gun safety and hunting to attend these sessions. Air people successfully pasting the course will be issued an N. R, A. safety certificate. A very fine program hat been set up. Included in the pro gram will be conservation officer* from Eaton and Barry Counties, local law enforcement officers, a state police trooper plus others.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter The death and truth Recently, I visited a close friend of mine who was near death with cancer, and he was only in his ear­ ly forties. I think it will help many of us if I sum­ marize his deep thinking in his philosophical a p proach on his death. Death is the only^nd final equalizer in the h u man race. There is no racial preference. No finan­ cial power or political influence can change our des­ tiny. To some good people, death is to return to home; to some others, it is to face the final Judg­ ment Day. Death can be a most beautiful thing be­ cause in all the years during a life of walking on thin ice afraid to violate the Golden Rule, Death is finally near. It seems like a long journey. It reach­ es the end without betraying its souL An individual who is close to death will certainly become more mature so rapidly, in many cases e­ ven less self-centered because he knows ne cannot bring anything with him to show his Maker. Death also is a period of adjustment. If he believes in life after death, it is a time to close the old business to start a new one again. To face death in some cases makes one feel so insignificant because one may have not left enough good marks on this earth or one did not do enough for one's friends or family who may still need help. Death is the stage for rejoicing ana gratification. Nothing is important anymore; materially, politically, socially. A' big funeral and an expensive coffin do not affect a dead person's souL Death helps the individual to forgive his world­ ly enemies because all those little incidents that used to count so much are no longer important. Re­ gardless in war or peace, an individual's death will achieve tranquility, sanity, and eternal peace. About ten years ago when a circus came through Saugatuck, one of the elephants became sick. He became so sick that despite the efforts of the cir­ cus people and a couple of local veterinarians they just couldn't get the poor old fellow on his feet and he died. Now an elephant is not the easiest thing in the world to dispose of, so there was a bit of discussion as to just how and where the giant could be buried. They got permission of a farmer whose field the elephant died on to bury him where be died. A bulldozer was called in and the ceremony was com pleted. Sometime in the distant future an archeologist may dig up the bones of an elephant and come to the wrong conclusion that elephants were native to this part of Michigan. There is a lot of other junk that we throw away that may confuse future generations who dig it up. They may conclude that we paved our beaches with beer cans and they may even think that we emptied sewers into our streams for a purpose--perhaps to SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry & Eaton Counties $3.00 per year Elsewhere in United States $3. 50 per year A utumn Colo r Tou r Guide now available The first big weekend of Michigan's annual aut­ umn color show is expected in the upper peninsula before the end of September, according to the Michigan Tourist Council.

Get-acquainted tea Friday by john boughton poison the folks who lived downstream, or maybe because we really intended to commit mass suicide. The JC's had a ball with their canoe race down the river last Saturday. This might well become an annual thing which will make our community known throughout the state. The Maple Valley Lions did themselves up well in their first two games of the season. Even though they lost to Middleville they are to be commended for the game they played. The new bleachers at the football field make a big difference. Now we can really have a good home crowd. Our lights are poor though. It is very difficult to get a picture under our lights. By the light meter on my camera, they have almost twice as much light up at the Lakewood field as we do. Christian women from all the churches in the area have been especially invited to a get-acquainted tea held by Church women Unitea on Friday, Sep­ tember 27, at 1:00 p. m. at the First Unitea Meth­ odist Church in Hastings. There are many areas to be discussed in which work can be accomplished even if complete affiliation is not desired, as Church Women United sponsor many services and programs across the nation and the world. The occasion is also planned as an opportunity to introduce pastors' wives and heads of various wom­ en's organizations. Mrs. William Hawkins will be on the program. She serves as Chairman of Area Five of the State Church Women United Board. Any woman in Nashville needing transportation to attend, may call Mrs. J. E. Smith or Mrs. B. J. Varner.

OCTOBER 3, 1968 One day teachers’ meeting scheduled in Lansing As primary and secondary students from Ingham, Eaton, Livingston, Clinton and Shiawassee counties settle down tot the long year ahead, the teachers of the five county area are preparing for an intensive instruction session of their own. The event is the annual Region Eight teacher's conference of the Michigan Education Association. This year, the usual two day program has been com­ pressed into a single day, Friday, October 4th. General Chairman of the Conference is Leon Housler, Maple Valley High School, Vermontville. The Executive Secretary of the meeting is Lois Red­ mond of the East Lansing Public Schools, while Rob­ ert Burnett of the Michigan School for the Blind, Lansing, is in charge oi the Special Sections pro­ gram. > The annual banquet will feature Bud Guest, famed WJR radio humorist and sidewalk philosopher. The banquet will be held at the Everett High School cafeteria in Lansing. The abbreviated Lansing meeting of the MEA Re­ gion Eight members will be marked by an even greater effort to condense the latest information a­ bout new teaching techniques. Special emphasis will be given to tne age old problems of "reading, 'riting and 'riinmetic’v as well as the newer and more sophisticated teaching methods in the scien­ ces, the development of inter-group understanding, and an analysis of how the Soviet Union handles the problem of exceptional children. On the subject of school organization, there'll be a special section devoted to the middle school, a new concept in dividing the educational process. Another section will take up the non-graded ele­ mentary school concept. The Region Eight conference will also discuss sub­ jects of a controversial nature, such as the teaching of sex education in the elementary classroom. Re­ sources people for this topic include: Erma Hill of the Ingham County Health Department; Rev. Hugh Banniga of the Episcopal Church of St, Johns; Chand­ ler Nauts, principal of Holt High School; and Bar­ bara Miller of the Okemos School system.

Sectional meetings will generally begin at 9:30 in the morning, while the afternoon sessions will start at 1:30 in the afternoon. Full-time broa dcast service offered now WBCH-FM operating at 100.1 megacycles has inaugurated program service following receipt of authorization from the Federal Communications Commission. WBCH-FM is now broadcasting from 6: 00 am to 11:00 pm daily and on Sundays from 7: 45 am to 10:00 pm. Kenneth Radant, president and manager said that WBCH-AM, which has operated at Hastings for the past 10 years, has always been restricted to "sun­ rise to sunset" hours so the addition of FM brings the first full-time broadcast service to Barry Coun­ ty.

WILLIAM BITGOOD Phone 3-6092 NASHVILLE Marsha A ekeit and Jeri Hammond took charge of American Government classes Thursday, September 26. They gave an excellent report on their week at Camp Kett where they had lectures on government and practiced Americanism. They said the basic characteristics that make up our country are: pride, patriotism, optimism, ma­ terialism, prejudice,. determination, individualism, political freedom, spirit of adventure, religion, ed­ ucation, inventiveness, critical, restlessness, humanitarism, and fun loving. Other comments were: If you believe you are real1 y white, hold a white paper against your skin. Black, brown, yellow or red are just varying shades of brown. The Pyramid of Freedom consists of belief in God (the solid base), the U. S. Constitution, Civil Rights, political and economic rights, and at the top, "Our Freedom.

Over 50 dairymen are expected to attend the tour which will visit three dairy farms in the Charlotte area starting at 11 a. m. at the Forrest Rogers from three miles west of Charlotte and 1 1/2 miles north of M-79 on Chester Highway. The Rogers own a relatively small farm of 105 acres with a 30-35 cow dairy herd. Recent building changes including a free-stall bam, milking parlor and enlarged milk house made it possible to nearly double the size of their herd a few years ago. Despite the trend to much larger herds this is typical of many one-man herds that certainly can be successful when efficient­ ly managed. At twelve noon the tour will move to the Mason­ ic Temple in Charlotte for a complimentary lunch­ eon provided by the Smith Silo Company of Oxford and their local representative, John Moore of Nash­ ville. Following lunch at 1:30 p. m. the tour will move to the Ralph Letton farm 3 miles north of Charlotte and 1/2 mile west on Vermontville Highway. The Lettons operate a large herd of over 100 cows with the help of two hired men who share in a unique ar­ rangement in the dairy herd ownership. Two new silos for com silage and ground corn will add to the feed storage facilities on the Letson farm this year. Several yean ago free stalls and a liquid manure system were added to increase the efficiency of this operation. The final farm visit of the day will be at 2:30 gm at the Loren Wilmore farm 1/4 mile west of M­ 0 on Grethem Highway. This summer the Wilmore* have been milking about 60 Holstein* but are plan­ ning to cut back to 46 head to better fit their stan­ chion barn. This is one of Eaton County's top hol­ stein herds with outstanding individuals in both pro­ duction and type. This is a family operation.

During the evening the council discussed the many possible ways the situation might be met. Mn Watson said it would be helpful to know what the people of the village think about the situation. He said he would like to see some letten to the ed­ itor expressing viewpoints. This will be further discussed at the regular coun­ cil meeting on this Thursday.

Lawrence B. Lindemer, a candidate for Regents of the U of M, will be the principal speaker for the dinner. It is expected that Garry Brown will also be attending. Stanley Powell and James Farnsworth have indicated they plan to attend, as well as many Barry County Republican candidates. Tickets are needed for the dinner and may be ob­ tained locally from Stewart Graham. Boys will compete for 18 football trophies Boys in the Maple Valley area will have a chance on October 12 to compete for trophies in the Punt, Pass & Kick Competition, sponsored by Tom Ruth­ erford, Inc., of Charlotte. The local competition is under the direction of the Maple Valley Jaycees, with the Ford agency as the sponsor.

The Punt, Pass & Kick Competi­ tion is open to all boys in the Maple Valley area 8 yean of age through 13 years. A Clinic was held Saturday morning, October 5th at the Fuller Street School.

All interested boys are encouraged to attend. Village prepares to issue revenue bonds Thursday evening, at the regular meeting of the Vermontville village council, the officials ordered their attorney. Georoe Watson of Charlotte, to pre­ pare revenue bonds for sale for the new sewage dis­ posal plant. They also voted to ask their engineer­ ing company, Williams & Works of Grand Rapids, to take final steps to update plans for the plant. "We have now gone about as far as we can, "said village president, Vernon Trowbridge. "The next thing is the money. If the bonds sell, and we have some hope they will, then we are ready to go a­ head." *~ The exact amount of the bonds depends on final completion of the engineer's plans, but they will be in the neighborhood of $465, 000. Several interested citizens attended the meeting, and several asked questions concerning the new plant which were answered by the governing body. The engineers thought it would take about three months to complete the plans and bring them up to date, and the attorney assumed it would take him nearly that long to prepare the bonds. Thus, if things go according to plan, Vermontville village will oe in' position to let contracts for starting con­ struction in the spring. A representative from the Vermontville Lions Club, Albert Hackett, asked permission to use the water tower lot, which is village-owned, to pre­ pare a park or public playground. Permission was granted, with the stipulation that whatever is done will be okayed by the council. Vermontville township supervisor Gerald Siple was present to discuss plans for a township-village dump site. Mote consideration will be given in fu­ ture meetings. Other business conducted by the council was rou­ tine. Dr. Paul Chien, shown here with Mrs. Greta Finter, took part in the Friday meet­ ing of the Region Eight Conference of the Michigan Education Association in East Lan­ sing, Dr. Chien, now associated with Northwood Institute, Midland, took part in the discussion relative to Asia. He was bom and educated in China and served as a Colonel in Chaing's Army prior to the Communist take-over of China, Mrs. R. E. White, of Nashville, also attended the conference in the afternoon and talked and showed slides of her trips to Europe, —Photo by Chris Boughton The following article gives a first-hand account of the one-day Region Eight teachers' Conference of the Michigan Education Association. The meeting was held tn East Lansing on Friday, October 4. The following persons contributed to the conferences: Leon Housler, president, Region 8; Hilda Baas, Mich­ igan History; Leslie Boldrey, Color tour of Europe; and Greta Finter, S. E. Asia and Africa. No school was held at Maple Valley last Friday because the teachers were excused in order to a t tend the Fall Conference, commonly known as Teachers' Institute in Lansing. This year for the first time it was only a one-day meeting. The day started at 9:30 with various meet­ ings held in selected schools in the Laming area where teachers were given a chance to see and learn about new ideas in education. Meetings were design­ ed for various interest groups, such as, social stud­ ies, math, English, science, etc. at all grade levels. Many special interest groups had luncheon meetings. Special sessions continued after noon. The Publisher and Education Supply companies had an all-day exhibit in the Civic Center. This too, was well attended. There were several field trips. One outstanding trip was io Waldemar. Another trip went to the MSU plantarium. There were excellent reports from both field trimg Chris Bougnton and his camera joined us for Dr. Paul Chien's lecture and for a noon luncheon. Mr. John Boughton was also present at the luncheon, so our local paper was well represented, Dr. Paid Chien, Northwood Institute, spoke to an audience of 200 at East Lansing High SchooL Friday morning. He emphasized the fact that four presi­ dents have kept us involved in South Vietnam. We are there because we keep our commitments to SEATO. As a democracy, we are committed to check Communist aggression and advancement if at all possible. Dr. Chien gave us a background of the Boxer Re­ bellion. The British were getting rich off the opium trade, much of which came in from the British col­ ony of India. The intellectuals of China saw their people being weakened and depraved by dope. They led a revolt to drive out white man. The South East Asian has not trusted white people from then to now. Mao is almost a total cripple today due to strokes. The war lords seem to be in the driver's seat. Is their intention to weaken S. E. Asia, get the US out and then take over? Another sore spot in S. E. Asia is out interference in the Russo-Sino war. The yellow races figure we have not let them solve their own problems in the past. - ' We can not just withdraw from S. E. Asia. Mr. Onnoigiyo of Nigeria discussed Changing Af­ rica. There are 23 new countries in Africa since World War IL Colonialism is vanishing. He said we use the word tribal to mean warlike, uneducated, uncivilized. We must realize "tribal" in Africa is the same as "nationality" to us. The African has proven his intelligence when given the chance. He has proven he can be a leader. Sometimes he has been over anxious perhaps. But he is learning. The African wants to be identified. He wants dignity. He wants his culture understood. Then he can five in peace with his fellowman. Mrs. Roma White was the guest speaker at. a Col­ or Tour of Europe. Mrs. White had a wonderful ex­ hibit of things from Europe. She illustrated her lec­ ture with colored slides. So many left this meeting determined to see Europe in the near future. On the wall in this lecture room were beautiful posters and pictures of outstanding places one would like to add to their tour. In the Michigan History section, Mrs. Jager from the Michigan unit of the State Library told us about some materials available on Michigan history and where we could get them. Monsignor Hickey of the Redford Parish, Detroit, who was chosen historyographer of Detroit last year, very interestingly told us about Father Gabriel Richard.Monsignor Hickey has spent many yean in his study of Father Richard and has gone to France sev­ eral times to visit the places where Father Richard had lived. Father Richard brought the first printing press to Michigan and printed the first newspaper m Michigan. He was the first and only Father elected to Congress. John Monteith, a Presbyterian minis­ ter andFather Richard were the first . teachers at the University of Michigan which started in Detroit in 1817. He also worked in the St. Anne's Parish in Detroit. These attainments show why Monsignor Hickey considers Father Richard a most important person in early Michigan. Mrs. Kaeichele, secretary in Senator Brown's of­ fice in the Michigan Legislature, pleasingly told a­ bout Africa's Rich Past. The day culminated with the M. E. A. banquet at Everett High School which was highlighted by a hu­ morous presentation by Bud Guest, “rhe Sunny Side of the Street" reporter from W. J.

Entitled Stand Up For America, it advocated the election of George Wallace for president of the United States. The advertisement found its appeal through the shrewd twisting of anything pertaining to patriotism. Although this deception angered me, I was much more concerned with the underlying philosophv of the. advertisement and ultimately the philosophy of Mr. Wallace. ’ . Speaking in Lansing recently, Mr. Wallace prom­ ised to ".turn back the ownership of property to the people of Michigan, and repeal the open housing law," if electea President. In so doing he would se' verely limit the freedom of many Americans--that same freedom which has cost the lives of countless American soldiers. I too think it is time for America to "Rise up"and face her problems. But you never face or conquer anything by "putting riot leaders down. " In "putting" any group of people "down” you only force them underground where their potential danger is far great­ er to America. To "clean up our government, city, state, and nation, " Mr. Wallace has advocated a hard line po­ lice core. His philosophy here is highly reminiscent of Hitler’s SS forces. And while in Europe last sum­ mer I saw some of the results of Hitler's regime. One striking example was the concentration camp a t Dachau, near Munich, Germany. Today this camp contains a pictorial museum portraying the history of Hitler's rise to power and the aftermath of the Third Reich. I shall never forget the faces of count­ less Jews who died there; every trace of human dig­ nity was denied them until their faces reflected on­ ly degradation and hopelessness. The Jews were the element in society Hitler chose to eliminate. Mr. Wallace merely advocates the elimination of "communists out of this free land. ” But who is to decide who the " communists" are? I also question how dear the United States of A­ merica really are to Mr. Wallace. As recently as two years ago, the confederate flag still flew above the courthouse in Montgomery, Alabama--perhaps it is still there today. For most Americans, how­ ever, the confederacy ended a hundred years ago. Finally I would disagree with the section of last week's advertisement, which portrayed our govern­ ment as a group of "lying commies at the helm us­ ing weak minded dignitaries. " I will never believe that the American people are led by such a group. Our country is composed of individuals who would never sit idly by and allow this to happen. Certainly there are many things wrong with A­ merica, bur I feel that there are many more things right with her. After spending a short ten weeks in various parts of England and Europe, I returned home very thankful to be an American. Our system is far from perfect, but I feel it offers greater op­ portunity for all citizens than any other country I visited. In many pans of Europe, traces of World War II are still most evident. Wandering through the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, I glanced at a brochure explaining the reasons for its restoration. The house today remains as a "perpetual reminder of the ex­ tremes to which hatred and discrimination against people with other ideas and beliefs can lead. " A reminder lest we forget the danger of bigotry and intolerance... I fervently hope we--as Americanshave" not forgotten. Susan Hansen MV Graduate Senior at MSU "AS I SEE IT" NATIONAL NEWSPAPER Why MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS A VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc, Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter we ditcr edit Mayor Daley I do not feel many of us are qualified to judge Mayor Richard Daley as not being a good adminis­ trator for the metropolitan of Chicago because it is my personal opinion every human being cannot be judged by one incident. Many of us sometimes act totally unselfish one moment, then the next moment we become very greedy. Therefore, I think it is very unwise for in­ dividuals to try to evaluate a man witheuch a long political career as Mayor Richard Daley. His stand on law and order in order to protect human life should be congratulated. However, when one saw policemen striking women and children, this act is not to be condoned. V we would look at the mayor* s whole political career. I believe most of us wish he would dear up mote of the corruption, gambling, prostitution and other undesirable features in Chicago. To my esti­ mation, Mayor Daley may even hire and organize the organized criminals to maintain Chicago's law and order. In the same phrmises, if things get real rough, he may use LBJ’s hot-line to ask Russian par­ atroopers to help maintain law and order in Chicago. I think it is fair to say Mayor Daley had done Ms best to pay his political obligation to the Democrat­ ic party's establishment. I believe most of us re member the missing of voting machines, the irregu­ larities of voting procedures, the political pay-om in Chicago under Mayor Daley's administration have been numerously published in different papers. I be­ lieve the situation in Chicago makes us now wish Mayor Daley will utilize Ms deep conviction in the law and order not only to club women and chikteen but maybe he will be able to dean up the city's In­ ternal decay with a much mote decisive manner.

Thursday, October 10, 1968 Nashville �Church News Fire Prevention Week Fire Prevention Week proclaimed each year by the President of the United States will be observed this year from October 6 to 12 to remind everyone to be careful with fire. Be sure everyone in your family knows how to call the Fire Department. In 1967 your fire department was called to a to­ tal of 41 fires. Of this total 15 were house fires. Be sure your house is fire safe. Keep matches and flammable items away from children. Be sure your baby sitter knows what to do in case of fire. Snow her all the exits in the house and in case of fire her main job is to get the children out of the house quickly. Then ask a neighbor to notify the fire de­ partment. Smoking in bed, no screen in front of the f ire place, careless use of electricity, hot ashes dump­ ed in wastebasket, overheated wiring caused by the wrong size fuse, accumulation of trash and plugged chimneys are some of the causes of house fires. FIRES SAVE LIVES Obituary Dora Belle White Funeral services were held from the Leonard-Os­ good Funeral Home in Hastings last Friday for Mrs. Dora Belle White who, at 85, died Wednesday, Oc­ tober 9 at Pennock Hospital, having been a patient there for eight days. She had lived at Route 1, Has­ ting, but had been in the Medical Facility for 11 yean. Mrs. White was bom in Vineland, N. J. on July 12, 1883, daughter of Aaron and Hattie (Sylvester) Aldrich, and spent most of her life in Hamilton, * Ohio, before moving to Nashville where she was married to Delbert White on July 20, 1946. Survivors are three daughters, Mrs. Sanford (El­ sie Mae) Nelson of Lansing, Mrs. Jerome '(Helen) Ribar and Mrs. Frank (Hattie) Stieg, both of Ham­ ilton, Ohio; a son, Harry B. Jones of Kalamazoo, and seven grandchildren. Burial was made in Riverside Cemetery, Has­ tings. Your Fire Department in 1967 was called to eight auto fires. What should you do if your car catches on fire? Get all persons out and at least 150 feet a­ way from the car; then notify the fire department. Your firemen are trained for fighting fires. Here are some facts about your fire department. Maple Grove Township, Castleton Township and the Village of Nashville are protected by four trucks a new pumper, new tanker, a village-use pumper and a panel truck with a lighting plant, an inhalator and a smoke ejector. Your fire .department is run financially by your tax dollars and your Fire Board. Members of your fire department are men you meet and talk with every day. Your Fire Chief is Forrest Babcock, Assistant Chief, Mike Appelman. Secretary and treasurer, Wes Erwin, Captain Doug Yarger and Lieutenant Jerry Kent. Other members inchide Leon Ackett, Eldon Day, Lee Christopher, FredAckett, Don Augustine, Ken Christie, Bill Hel­ sel, Joel Hummel, George Kellogg, Bernard Mar­ tin, Bob Wood, Larry Decker andWallace Graham. So let's all work together in preventing fires not only during Fire Prevention Week, but every week of the year. When you see the fire trucks going down the road, give them the right-of-way; they might be going to your house. WESLEY L.

Report mail box tampering • ¥ Postmasters Wilma DeCamp and Lawrence Frith of the Nashville and Vermontville post offices have been receiving numerous complaints of umpering with the rural mail boxes, especially the ones that are located within the village limits and in some ca­ ses the complaints have been for malicious damage to the boxes. Also the complaints involve small children opening the mail boxes after the rural car­ rier has left the mail, and putting different patron's mail in boxes other than their own mail box and e­ ven taking the mail and putting it on the neighbors porches.

Self-Propelled w/Corn Head $2, 995. 00 600.00 395.00 WERTZ IMPLEMENT Ph. 543-2540 CHARLOTTE The complaints in the rural area are more for ma­ licious damage and destruction of the patron's rural mail boxes, ranging from tearing off tne flag, blow­ ing up the mailbox resulting in complete destruction tearing the box off the support and leaving it along the highway and throwing things at the box and rack­ ing them all out of shape. Also turning the mailbox­ es around on their posts. We emphasize that "mail­ boxes are protected by Federal law, and pranksters or vandals who damage or destroy the boxes and their contents may be in for a heavy fine or im­ prisonment, ” Your Postmasters noted that 25, 000 mail recepta­ cles were damaged or destroyed in the past year. Al­ so noted was the fact that 2, 641 persons were arrest­ ed in the year up to June 30th for damaging or des­ troying mail receptacles. Postmasters DeCamp and Frith quoted the law: "Whoever wilfully or maliciously injures, tears down or destroys any letterbox or other recepucle intended or used for the receipt or delivery of mail on any mail route, or breaks open the same or wil­ fully or maliciously injures, defaces or destroys any mau deposited therein, shall be fined not more than $1, 000 or imprisoned not more than three years. " This applies to all mail receptacles and the mail in them, even though the boxes are bought by citi­ zens and are their personal property, the postmasters emphasized. "Pranksters--and especially children who do not know any better--should be made to realize the ser­ iousness of their actions, " the postmasters said. "A $1, 000 fine or a term in jail is enough to take the humor out of any prank, " and parents are responsi­ ble for the actions of their children. Often the mailbox damage is the work of youths, who do it for "kicks" and the courts have shown lit­ tle sympathy for this youthful means of expression. Here in Michigan, a justice sentenced two 18-year olds to 10 days in jail, including two on a diet of baby food. Tlie diet specification, explained the judge, was because the youths "acted like babies." They were also fined $25 each plus $15 costs. Tne Po«office Department collection boxes that are placed at the curb and other convenient loca­ tions for the "convenience and accommodation of the public" are also a target for the "pranksters.” These outside mail receptacles are the property of the postoffice Department and are solely for the purpose of depositing "United Sates Mail •therein, by the general public, to be picked up by the post­ master, or a designated postal employee, and dis­ patched on the next scheduled dispatcn of mail from the local postoffice. Therefore throwing bottles, empty or otherwise, garbage and trash of all des­ cription in these " US Mail Collection Boxes" comes under the laws that have already been stated, and is a Federal offense and could cause costly damage to the contents, and prove to be costly'’ to the ones that had the idea that it would be 'real smart" to use the "US Mail Collection Box" for a trash arid garbage recepucle. The " kick" the offender gets out of doing this is very liable to "kick back" with the help of the Postal Inspectors and area law en­ forcement officers. It is a shameful thing when anyone can go down the highway and maliciously.damage dr destroy a rural mall box, that has been so carefully installed and make attractive by the owner, with time and pride involved, and have someone come along and . destroy it all in just a second's time, just for 'kicW.

Leon Housler, principal of the Maple Valley High School, congratulates Alice Linsley as she was crowned Homecoming Queen during Half-time festivities Friday night.

These floats took part in the parade during half-time also. —Photo by John Boughton �BACKSTREET BAROMETER I predict that Leon Housler is going to work out as principal of the high school. He has already pass­ ed his first test - kissing the homecoming queen, and he did a very good job of it. Of course he had a great advantage in that he had a remarkably pret­ ty cunch of girls to kiss as he crowned them. I know there are many things about being the principal of a high school that can be a real drag. This job, like any other, has a certain amount of routine which could become quite a bore. He has many things that are not too pleasant to do. He has some decisions to make tnat are not popular with the kids, and even with the general public. He had duties to perform that he would probably rather leave undone. He no doubt, has many days when he would rather stay in bed than to come back to the drag. But part of the duties of the prin­ cipal J* also to kiss the homecoming queen. This has to be the best job in town. Letter to Editor Route #2 Nashville, Mich. October 11, 1968 Editor Nashville News Nashville, Mich. Dear Sir:. Published in last week's News was a letter from Susan Hansen, student at MSU, referring to George Wallace' philosophy on Americanism and Patriot­ ism as twisted. I would like to ask Miss Hansen this: Is it so wrong to love your country, to try to save some freedoms for our children? Is it so wrong to say prayeis in school or salute the flag or sing the National Anthem? It is a sad day for this land of ours when so many young people are deserting the armed forces.bringing shame on their parents and country.’ I feel ob­ ligated to preach patriotism and love for this country to my children, after seeing what lack of Sride the youth of today have for themselves and ick of respect they have for their country. I can see why students fear law and order. Why did the Democrats build a fence around the Cow Palace? To protect their representatives from the students. This is the same reason the Republicans had thousands of guards at their convention. Who starts all the riots? No one but the students. Who heckles all the presidential candidates? No one but the students. The DuBois Club and the Students for Democratic Society, two of the larg­ est Communist front organizations in the US today have chapters on 800 campuses. They wave the Viet Cong flag, preach revolution and overthrow of this government, bum our flag or tear it to pieces. They send clothes, blood, and medicines to the Viet Cong. Wallace says let's put a stop to their treason. Is this so wrong? To want to support our fighting men instead of the enemy? They say Wallace is a hate monger. Is it so wrong to hate murderers, ra­ pists, looters, burners? It b time we thought about the victim, and imprisoned the criminal. work-­ All the property owner, taxpayer, steady work er wants is this. The only protestors are students. Why? Wallace wants to stop trade with countries help­ ing the Viet Cong. He wants to repel open hous­ ing. Shouldn't a person's home be his to do with as ne wants. The 1964 Civil Rights Act says no school d is trict can be made to desecrate nut the Federal government says you will have to go by our guide­ lines or get no federal aid. Who paid this federal aid? The taxpayers do. Wallace wants to do away with this federal blackmail. No Walter Reuther or big business supports the Wallace campaign. Just the little man. He is on the ballot in all the states because of individuals who love and support this country. Sincerely, Douglas Ayles NATIONAL NEWSPAPER!

All a­ long the road leading to the new building are reels of cable. The new building will house equipment for the Nashville-Vermontville exchange. Nashville is experiencing a bit of a building boom out Fuller Heights way. Not only is there con­ siderable building in the Fuller Heights subdivision but some is going on just across from it too. I don't think some of us realize how anxious some of the city people are to get out in the country. Many people from Battle Creek and Lansing and all a­ round us will be moving further out. Nashville and Vermontville are in a good position. We are close enough to the big towns that a person can commute and tar enough away to make living a bit better.

Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency A BROKEN DREAM OF CO-EXISTENCE If we look over our old magazines of 1938 and try to compare today's world situation, there are so many similarities between these two periods. There is die Nazis’ uprising to its peak, the international silent consensus to sacrifice small nations to the big powers, the Spanish Civil War use as a military hard­ ware testing ground, Japairoccupation of China and gradually moving into Indo China. The Western poweB sacrificed Czechoslovakia's independence to ap­ pease Adolf Hitler. During that time we, too, dream­ ed of co-existance. We dreamed about international prosperity. 1 think many world travelen will agree with me that our trouble spots today are not limited in the Far East. The military build-up in the Middle East by the Russian infiltration against Israel is of public knowledge. The anti-semitism revived in th^Eastern European nations, Russian occupation of Czechoslvakia and military threat to Rumania is only a preview of the Berlin blockade and total military actions against the West German government in the very near future. I do not believe our news media carry the real truth of the Russian threat in Europe and the Middle East enough to arouse the public attention. The dream of co-existance has lasted longer than the dream of the League of Nations. Unless we are able to rededicate ourselves to clear up our internal de­ cay with a firm stand against the military totalitar­ ianism and dictatorship, we probably will become a target of international communistic aggression.

Horace Powers talks to Nashville Chamber members Larry V roman Approximately 42 persons attended the meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce Wednesday evening at the VFW HalL Horace Powers and his wife Mabie were special guests. Horace also talk­ ed briefly regarding the office of District Judge of Barry ano Eaton district. He explained the chan­ ges which would take place because of this new of­ fice and the duties the District Judge would have. Al Smith, Bill Kjergaard and Glenn Garlinger were in charge of providing the interesting speaker for the meeting. In the regular business meeting of the Chamber, president George Vogt presided. Following the us­ ual secretary’s and treasurer's reports, repons were given by various committee heads. Al Smith, reporting for the Industrial Commit­ tee, stated that the women working at the Nash­ ville plant of the Baby Bliss had been taken to Middleville to receive additional training. They should be back in the Nashville plant by November. The additional training was to help have a more efficient operation locally. A report, also given by Al Smith, gave addition­ al information about the progress in securing ade­ quate Christmas decorating for the downtown area. Marine Private Larry G. Vroman, 18, son of Ml and Mrs. Keith D. Vroman of 360 E. Broadway, Woodland was graduated from eight weeks of re­ cruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Great Lakes, Illinois. He will now undergo from two to four weeks of individual combat training and then, after leave at home, will report to hrs first Marine Corps as­ signment. The intensified Marine recruit training empha­ sizes rigid physical conditioning and survival tech­ niques, both at sea and ashore, to develop self­ confidence and endurance. Marksmanship with the M-14 rifle and 45-caliber pistol are equally stress­ ed, and close order drill instills the traditions of Marine Corps teamwork. A thorough study of basic military subjects, hy­ giene, first aid and sanitation, and the customs, courtesies, history and mission of the Marine Corps serve to polish the new Marine's recruit education and prepare him to join the Marine combat forces. Richard Webb Seaman Apprentice Richard H. Webb, USN, 20, son of Mr. Harold E. Webb of Route 1, Nashville, has been graduated from nine weeks of Navy basic training at the Naval Training Center at Great Lakes, Illinois. In the first weeks of his naval service he studied military subjects and lived and worked under con­ ditions similar to those be will encounter on his first ship or at his first shore station. In making the translation from civilain life to Naval service, he received instruction under veter­ an Navy petty officers. He studied seamanship, as well as survival techniques, military drill and oth­ er subjects.

Leu Nagle, clerk was advised to look up ordinance r e garding sidewalks and present it at the next regular meeting. Albert Hackett, representing the local Lions Club came to present a plan for a Community Park They had thought of the lot at Water Plant. This park would be for recreational purposes. If plans to be submitted by Lion's Club are approved, it was the general opinion such a park would be fine. Chas. Viele made a motion that the lot at the Water Tow­ er be used for Park for recreation purposes. Cleo Prescott supported, aU ayes. Motion carried. Mr. Siple reported the general feeling of the Ver­ montville Township Board regarding the furnishing of a dump for Vermontville and community. The contract with Mr. Donald Hosey expired on Sept. 1, 1968, and Mr. Hosey didn't care to continue to op­ erate the dump longer. The village is trying to ne­ gotiate with turn, whereby it could keep it open at least one day a week Siple feels that the township would be willing to help make this possible. If it is so granted and we can maintain a dump a plan will be set up as to financing the project. Suggested selling membership cards to users. Since the last special meeting, prospects for dis­ posing of G. O. and Revenue Bonds for the purpose of constructing sewers seems much brighter. It seems at this time that plans may soon be underway.

He has visttea 10 estab­ lishments in Nashville and Vermontville, and some are very interested in working with the school in the in-school education and supervised on-the-job train­ ing program. The enrollment this year has increased 70 students, reaching a total of 1, 853. This is causing difficul­ ties in room space, which will become even more severe in future years if this growth trend continues.

CHARLOTTE . : William Gibbs, athletic director spoke to the board on adding tennis and golf, and competing in these events in the Expressway League. Approval was given. These two sports are relatively low in operation costs. He also discussed the fact that Comstock Park north of Grand Rapids is being con­ sidered as a member of the Expressway League. There are presently only five schools in the league which leaves something to be desired when schedul­ ing games. The board approved renewing their lease program with the Schalow Rambler in Portland on a station wagon. It will be necessary to purchase 45 lockers for the junior-senior high scnool, and a number of teachers' desks and chairs will be purchased. Supt. Carroll Wolff discussed future building plans in order to take care of the ever-increasing enrollments. While de­ tailed plans and figures will be determined later, the crying need now is present in the fifth-sixthseventn grade areas. Last year the board discussed briefly the idea of the eignt counties surrounding Lansing to employ a legislative agent. The cost to the district woula be $200 plus 10 cents per student. Considering the pres­ sure being placed on legislators by the large city districts, it would seem advisable to attempt such an approach for more aid to the rural districts. How­ ever, no action was taken at Monday night's meet­ ing. Bills totaling $9, 961. 27 were allowed. Supt. Wolff’reported that October state aid in the amount of $119, 620. 00 has been received. The board approved the transfer of the September 20 and October 4 payrolls to the payroll account, and other routine business was transacted. Locals Mr. and Mrs.’Laurence Garlinger of Olympia, Washington arrived by plane last Thursday to visit their family for two weeks.

HANOVER The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, October 17, 1968 PH 945-2427 HASTINGS �Nashville Village Council meets The Nashville village council was visited by a number of citizens at Thursday night's meeting. Some to present a petition stating that they did not want the Jack Green property on Cleveland street rezoned as commercial; others to discuss putting up permanent poles and cables to hold the Christmas decorations and to seek financial assistance for the job; the Cub Scout master, Oliver Downing was pres­ ent to discuss problems concerning the Boy Scout Hall which is village-owned; Ed. Baker of Charlotte was on hand to discuss garbage problems, and the council adopted a ordinance on week control. The council had designated Thursday night for a public hearing regarding the rezoning of the Green property. Once used as a welding and farm machin­ ery repair shop, the building has been vacant for some time and when the village adopted its zoning ordinance in January the property was zoned along with the homes in the area as residential. Mr. Green, who now resides in Florida Would liketosell the property to be reopened as an automobile shop and for painting cars. The neighbors in the immediate vicinity present­ ed a petition to the council which read, "we, the undersigned do not want the Green property on Cleveland street to be rezoned to a commercial zone for a paint shop or any other commercial bus­ iness. " It was signed by 28 persons. When village president Harold Christiansen ques­ tioned those present, they said they objected to the spraying of paint, that previously they found their street and driveways clogged with cars, and stated they were happy with conditions as they are now. They pointed out that if the council die see fit to rezone the property that more stringent rules and regulations be made regarding the use of the streets, and one said "What good is zoning if one can get property changed from residential to commercial?' On the other hand, Mr. Green has quite an invest­ ment in his property, and is anxious to sell the building which is designed primarily for a business. Al Smith, Hubert Lathrop and Cecil Barrett from the Chamber of Commerce were on hand to discuss Christmas decorations. The Chamber, with assis­ tance from the council, has been purchasing new decorations for Main Street over the past couple or three years. Each year Consumers Power comes in to provide wiring across Main Street on which to hang the decorations. The Chamber would like to have the lines permanent, and felt that between the two—the Chamber and the village--this could be handled adequately. The council voted approxi­ mately $300 toward tne project, and the Chamber will take care of the rest, which will be probably another $300. Downing was present to seek information on . whether or not the council had any thoughts of sell­ ing the Scout Hall. There have been numerous ru­ mors to that effect. He was assured the council had no intention of such a transaction. Ed. Baker of Charlotte, who handles the garbage pickup for the village, stated he is having labor turnover problems, and felt that because the new personnel might miss some of the pickups, he thought the problem might be solved more easily if the garbage cans were set at the curb. He was given no assurance this might be done, but the council will give further consideration to the prob­ lem. In other business the council adopted an ordi­ nance for the control of noxious weeks on private property. If the weeds and grass are not cut at least once every three weeks between May 15 and Sep­ tember 1'5, then the village will take care of the situation and the cost, plus 15 percent for inspec­ tion and other costs in connection, will be levied against the property as a special assessment and will be collected as other special assessment) lev­ ied in the, village. The new ordinance will take ef­ fect Nov. 1 or 21 days after its enactment.

TAKES THE FUN OUT OF LIFE! NO MORE GARBAGE MANTO CHASE! Maple Valley Jaycee The Maple Valley Jaycees held theirfint "M-Night" Orientation on Thursday, September 26 at the Amer­ ican Legion Hall in Vermontville. The purpose of this function was to acquaint new members, as well as old members with the purpose of Javcees. Chair­ man for the event was Duane Reid and committee members were Bob Gardner, Marvin Laurie, BillKjergaard and Gary Foote. The evening turned out to be a great success as four new Jaycees were signed up. They are; Bill Semrau, Larry Snowden, Jerry Reese and Mike DeJune. Mr. Stan Trumble, a resident of Vermontville and former village president, was the keynote speaker of the evening and gave a very inspiring talk on what the Jaycees could do for communities like Vermont­ ville and Nashville. His answer was a very vital one, especially this year. He said that the best thing w e could do for Vermontville and Nashville was to get oat and register and vote in the November Election and all other elections held in our communities. His speech was so penetrating that the Jaycees decided that very night to bold a "Get Our and Register-Get Ont and Vote" drive in conjunction with their Hal­ loween candy sale on September 30. Also in attendance was Mr. Larry Wine of Char­ lotte, Jaycee National Director of Region D. Mr. Wine gave a talk and showed slides on the impor­ tance of having Jaycees and the duties and opportun­ ities for Jaycees.

' - The Student Council is made up of elected offi­ cers and representatives from the grades in the Jun­ ior-Senior building. Heading up the organization this year is Miss Karen Benedict, the first girl to hold this position since the consolidation of the for­ mer Nashville-Vermontville schools. Karen, a senior, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Benedict. She is also the 1968 Maple Syr­ up Festival queen of Vermontville. Other officers include vice president, Raymond Garvey, the only boy elected to office; secretary, Patricia Barlond, and treasurer, Sandra Foote. Leaf pickup begins * » Leaf pickup in Nashville will begin on Monday, October 28. Residents are to rake the leaves into the gutter. All persons are reminded there is to be NO burn­ ing of leaves on any blacktop surface. > The student disciplinary court will handle m is demeanors of the students as well as drawing up rules and regulations for the student body. It is hoped this will take some of the load oft the admin­ istration and teachers, and will prove an interesting experience for the students. During November the council will sponsor a cloth­ ing drive for underprivileged persons of the Appa­ lachian Mountain area, and in December there is to be a Christmas tree walk, when students may walk past the tree and place canned goods to be distribu­ ted to needy families in the Nasnville-Vermontville area. A little later in the year the Student Council, with the assistance of the journalism class, will send gifts to all Nashville and Vermontville service men who are serving in Vietnam. The Council also supervises all dances sponsored by the various class­ es, and is in charge of the cafeteria during the noon luncheon hour. They also sponsored the activ­ ities for the Homecoming dance and football queen contest. VFW Auxiliary to see film The national president of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mrs. Elmer (Lora) Wa­ ters, will show Michigan memben a pilot film on "Movies from Home" when she visits Jackson, Octo­ ber 25-26, 1968. The film demonstrates how to get filmed messages from families to American servicemen in Vietnam. "We’d like to bring the boys home to their fam­ ilies, but we can’t, ” Mrs. Waters said recently."So, we’re doing the next best thing -- sending talking pictures of families to the boys. " Mrs. Leroy R. Pahl, Michigan VFW Auxiliary president, said memben in her state will work with television and military personnel to get as many movies as possible ready for Christmas delivery. "The armed forces tell us our Christmas deadline is December 1, ” said Mrs. PahL "We’ll try to make family movies next year, too, because we know soldiers are lonely in all seasons. But we thought we’d make a special effort for Christmas. " A member of Ft. Lawton Auxiliary 3694 of Seattle, Washington, Mrs. Waters has held many offices in the Department of Washington, becoming its presi­ dent in 1950. During the time she was advancing toward the national presidency, she served as Na­ tional Director of the Rehabilitation, Americanism, and National Home Fund programs. Mrs. Water's special project this year will make it possible for men in Vietnam to see movies from home. Auxili­ ary members work with local TV stations and the armed services to film messages from the families of service men. Mrs. Waters will arrive at midnight on Friday, Oc­ tober 25, at Reynolds Municipal Airport in Jackson. On October 26, there will be a visit to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Home, Eaton Rapids, fol­ lowed by radio interviews. Later in the day she will attend a meeting of auxiliary memben, conducted by Mrs. PahL In the evening a reception will pre­ cede a dinner in Mrs. Water’s honor. Mrs. William (Betty) Ross of Jackson has been ap­ pointed general chairman far the national president's visit. Parent-teacher Conferences scheduled for October 24-25 Parent-Teacher conferences have been scheduled for this week Thursday and Friday tn all buildings. School will be dismissed at the Jr-Sr High School at 11:30 a. m. and at the elementary buildings at 1145 a. m. on Thursday, October 24. Conferences with parents will be held Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Therefore, school will not be in session for any students on Friday. In past years the attendance at conferences in the elementary grades has been very encouraging with a very high percent of the parents coming to meet with the teachers. Unfortunately, the number of parents attending the conferences in the Jr-Sr. High School has not Seen nearly as high as desired. It u hoped that more parents will attend the conferences this year at the Jr-Sr High SchooL and the teachers wel­ come this opportunity to meet with the parents of the students enrolled in their classes. Some of the teachers teach in mote than one build­ ing, and we have set a schedule when you might meet with them in the different buildings. Thursday afternoon the following teachers will all be at Fuller St. Elementary: Garry Brown will visit local villages Mrs, King, Remedial reading; Mrs. Stewart, Physi­ cal education; Miss Holmes, Art; and Mrs. Suida, Speech therapist.

Then, as I said, it's difficult to see why it wouldn't pass, Michigan, more than any other state, should be in favor of clean water. Michigan probably has more fresh water than any other state or country of its size in the world. The Great Lakes represent the largest body of fresh water in the world, and Michigan controls 405> of the Great Lakes. So Michigan's stake in clean water is much higher than anyone elses. Certainly, we cannot go on for very much longer polluting the lakes as we have in the past. ' I read somewhere that sewage that was dumped into the lakes during the Civil War is still there. It does not dissipate itself-as quickly as one would believe, apparently. Sewage that was dumped in the Detroit River by the city of Detroit during the Truman administration is still not yet to the Niaga­ 213 N Williams MSU, E. Lansing, Michigan To the Editor: Last week's News featured a letter written in response to an earlier letter 1 had written. The author, Douglas Ayles, began by questioning my beliefs concerning God, Motherhood, and the American Flag --in about that order. I am not trying to be facetious; perhaps I am being unnec­ essarily blunt. But, I think Mr. Ayles should re­ read my letter because I wrote it as a concerned American -- and therefore in favor of God, Mother­ hood and the American Flag. Also, I am afraid that Mr. Ayles* prejudices are showing: not ALL protestors are students, jjor are all students protestors. And furthermore portests can be constructive as well as destructive. The late Dr. Martin Luther King was notorious for various forms of protest, and he Became a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. I could disagree with much more of the contents of last week's letter, but I do not have the time to write a manuscript nor would the News have any need to publish it. As a student, I carry a full number of credits' also I work approximately 30 hours a week- as a Resident Assistant. This term I am helping team teach folk and square dance to a group of Girl Scouts. In the past I have participated on an all-university sports team, various commit­ tees, and various dormitory activities. I am writing all this only to add that I am not unique. Many of my fellow students also find time to read to blind students or tutor "slow learners" through cadet teaching programs. These are some of the con­ structive student activities which are seldom men­ tioned or written about outside of the campus com­ munity. Although my time this term is rather limited, I will be home student teaching in January. If you would Hke to, we can continue this discussion at that time, Mt. Ayles. Sincerely yours, SUSAN HANSEN Route 5, Charlotte, Mich October 19, 1968 Dear Editor; I neglected to write last week to commend Miss Susan Hansen for her fine letter in your October 10 issue; but I was so outraged by some of the assertions in the letter by Douglas Ayles (October 17) that I am writing now. There are, I m sure, few of your readers who con­ done the foul language, destruction of property, and acts of violence which have characterized some of the "demonstrations” by students and others. But the statement in the Ayles* letter that "the only . protestors are students is completely false. So is the implication, in another paragraph, that the great majority of students, if not all, are involved tn the riots, flag-burnings, etc. Often many of those joining with protesting students are drop-outs or outside agitators. Also, according to Life (Oct 18) there are 7, 000, 000 college students in U. S. Of these, 7,000 are memben of S. D. S., the radical group mentioned by Mr. Ayles. That is one out of one thousand, or one-tenth of one percent! The leaden claim that 35, 000 more support them by taking pan in their activities; but it would take another 28,000 if even one percent of all the students were included in these mobs. Yet they are the ones who make the front pages of our newspapers and are caught by the TV cameras -- not the 99^ who are studying or are taking pan in constructive campus activities. As for Wallace -- I'm sure you wouldn't have space for all I might say to show why 1 am appalled by the thought at such a man for President; but let me say just a few words. His speeches have some high-sounding phrases: "Clean up govenunenr; "Sound the drum for free­ dom”, "Stand up for America" But listen to a few and ruin it for years in an effort to get a few fish; 4 hunters - who shoot anything that moves and then w leave it lying; and scatter their trails with cigarette packages, beer bottles and othAr debris. Maybe, though, we're getting smarter. At least somebody is trying, at least. There are some who want to _ clean tne lakes up, who want to bond enough money to do this. I hope the proposal passes and I hope we can, indeed, clean our lakes up because if we don't start now it may be too late! by jo bn boughton ra Falls. Apparently it takes awhile to clean up a lake and the quicker we start at it, the better off we'll 5e. Of course, municipalities, towns, in­ dividuals do their share of polluting the lakes, but by far the greatest polluters are the industrial plants along the lakes. Another statistic I read somewhere is that seven industrial plants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - just 7 plants - - pollute the lake more than a city of one million would pollute it by dumping raw sew­ age into it. These industries must be convinced that they must treat their waste products before they put them into the lake, and this is going to cost them money -- so I would assume jt is going to be difficult to convince them. Man must be a pretty crummy animal; I don't know of any other breed that goes out of its way to soil its own environment. But man seems to do it, even the lovers of the great out-of-doors makes a shambles of the great out-of-doors. So-called fishermen who tramp down the banks of the stream other direct quotations from George Wallace: I’m gonna make race the basis of politics in this state and country. Nigguhs hate whites, and whites hate nigguhs. Everybody knows that deep down. They start a riot down here, first one of 'em to pick up a brick gets a bullet in the brain, that's all. We got too much dignity in government now; what we need is some meanness. Do you want to vote for a man who believes these things? Sincerely yours, HELEN STEWARD October 18, 1968 Editor Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan ' Letter in the Public Interest: At the regular membership meeting of the Maple Valley Jaycees, held on September 17, 1968 at the American Legion Hall in Vermontville, it was u nariimously voted that the Maple Valley Jaycees vote "Yes'* on the November ballot for the two new bond Issues proposed by the Michigan Legislature. The Michigan Jaycees, at its summer meeting i n Alma, also votea unanimously to support the bond programs which we have named, "Clean Water and Quality Recreation. " As you can probably tell by the title that we have put on it, the program is to deal with the p r o b 1 e nr of Michigan lakes and streams that are getting to the point where Lake Erie has been named, "The Dead Lake. " Lake Michigan is polluted throughout the southern half of the lake with several beaches closed during the summer. As many of us know who travel throughout the summer, the problem of find­ ing places to stay in State Parks in Michigan is in­ creasing. > I imagine the main questions that everybody is interested in when they are looking at a problem of this type is the money it will cost to clear it up, where the money is to come from, and the increase in taxes to the individual. In answer to these questions, the entire program will provide a total of $155 million for quality re­ creation and $568 million for clean water. As to the question of where would the money come from, the State Government's share of the total would come from the sale of Full Faith and Credit State Bonds, if the sale of such bonds is approved by the Legislature, then the voters in November. The Federal Government would provide its share under the Clean Waters Restoration Act, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Pittman-Robertson and Dinge 11-Johnson Acts, and other Federal A i d Projects. As to the question of higher taxation, the gener­ al answer is.not necessarily! The total cost to the state, if these bond issues are approved, would av­ erage $24.4 million annually. But two other bond issues--the Korean Veteran's Bonus and the Hospi­ tal Bond Redemption Fund—will be paid off in 1970 and 1971, respectively. Annual payments of these two bond issues total $13. 5 million. State treasury receipts now being used to complete payment of these two issues might then be diverted to repay­ ment of the Clean waters and Quality Recreation bond issues. The costs might come from present state income taxes or other general fund receipts without the need for new or additional taxes against the public. These decisions, however, would nave to be made by the legislature. In summary, we, the citizens of the Great Lakes State have an opportunity this November to allow the Michigan Legislature to raise money to curb the problem at Water Pollution and provide additional monies for Michigan's State Parks. If we are going to move tn meet this problem while it is at its pres­ ent state and not wait until the problem is much larger, because this is a problem that will get larg­ er; we must move and act now by voting ’Ya" on the November ballot. in the public interest, It's getting on to that time of year again. All night long, off and on, I heard tne furnace. When I opened the door to pick up the Free Press, a chill blast hit me. The hot coffee tasted particularly good this morning, as it always does on a cold day, and as I got out to my car, there was ice on the windshield. Not frost — ice! So, steel yourself, anothet winter is on its way. I don't know what the caterpillars have to s a y about it, I haven't looked and I'm not sure whether a fuzzy caterpillar means a hard winter or an open winter. But people say that signs are that we are go­ ing to have an easy winter. They all have a differ­ ent reason for saying so. One man told me that be­ cause we've had such a late fall, because the weath­ er has been so mild up to now, that this Is a goo d' sign that we're going to have a mild winter. I hope he’s right Another fellow told me that because it had ramed so hard during the fall, we wouldn't have much snow during the winter. Now, this sounds logical. Maybe if we get it all out of our system in the fall, we won't have it in the winter. Well, an open winter I can stand; I won't object to it The seat belt is a~wonderful invention, but like ' all wonderful inventions, it sometimes seem to have been invented only to frustrate people. Have you ever tried to sneeze with a seat belt on? You start fumbling for the handkerchief in your back pocket and can’t get it because you are so snugged in by the seat belt One of my favorite trie la on a cold morning is to be all bundled up, to get into the car, fasten my seat belt and then start fumbling for my keys - which - you guessed it - are impossible to §et with the seat belt I'm sure seat belts save wusands of lives in a year. I'm sure, also, that they do their share to frustrate a few drivers. ”AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency HOW WE ARE ABLE TO THINK POSITIVELY In recent decades any individual who wanted to be identified as a psuedo intellectual had to be neg­ atively critical towards any subject he cared to dis­ cuss. Recently, I conversed this matter with one of my psychiatrist clients. According to him. the psue­ do intellectual usually is egotistic in nature; he loves publicity; and he hates to see anyone else get a­ head. He tries to ignore the other individual's ac­ complishment! ano continuously employs smearing attacks. The psuedo intellectual usually likes to make such remarks as: This man's success should be­ long to his wife; she's from a wealthy family. I read -his thesis and there is no depth to it. The reason why he reached the top is because be loves to lie k his boss's boots. . He considers his achievements and recognition as being well earned and well deserved. Yet for any­ one else who received the same, it-is by political influence or it is a fraud. The negative thinking peo­ ple usually create a conflict of interest and fabri­ cate the truth. Usually this type of individual has a mental incompetency, physical impotency, and a heart disease. I do not think in a free society w e can afford to have too many negative people. Their existence will destroy our nation's unity, encourage the class struggle; and most of all, they murepre­ sent the truth which a fre^nation cannot afford to lose. - NATIONAL NEWSPAPER Uigrgtg. umiuiHi mn MAPLE VALLEY MEWS NASHVILLE NEWS A VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publicatioiu.

Bill Gibbs, ~ Assistant Larry Lenz BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION i JURY DUTY A new system for selecting citizens for jury duty goes into effect next year. Mote people willbe call­ ed to serve, but the length of service is cut from three months to a maxiumum of 30 days. Prospective jurors are presently selected by town­ ship supervisors and city aidermen from property tax rolls. They serve for $15 per day. The selec­ tion method was designed when Michigan was pri­ marily an agricultural state and is not conducive to present modes of living, charges Lee C. Dramis, a Lansing lawyer who played a leading role in re­ writing the jury law. Working men find it difficult to support their families on $15 a day, and many ask to be excused for economic reasons. Persons who do not own real estate are automatically eliminated. This excuses about 80 percent of the men and 60 percent of the women in urbanized counties, Dramis said. As a result, juries are now composedmainly of retired persons, housewives and persons with little or no regulfr demands on their time. your REPUBLICAN ACTION TEAM NOON AGNEW U. S.

King Surveyor FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR VOTE FOR: THE CANDIDATE FOR YOUR DISTRICT: The new law specifies that voter registration lists be used instead of property tax rolls. A special jury board, appointed by the governor, will make the selection rather than supervisors and aidermen. A special mathematical formula will insure names being picked at random.' Exemptions under the new law are few: physical or mental disability, persons over 70, police offi­ cers and lawyers, citizens who do not understand the English language. The presiding judge may make . other exceptions, but excusals are expect­ ed only rarely under the new system, Dramis con­ tends. ' ' , .. New jurors will be selected by the jury board in May of each year. If lawyers agree, six-member juries may be used for civil cases. Six-member juries will be used for both civil and criminal cases in the new District Courts which replace the pres­ ent Justice Court system January 1. A special provision in the new law makes an em­ ployer who fires a person because of his absence for jury duty guilty of a misdemeanor.

During a 1967 survey among Michigan families, these three subjects were rated " criticaL ” The or­ ganization hopes that each of the 2, 000 local units will devote several meetings to the topics, and then build upon local interest with specific pro­ grams. ” If all the PTA units across the state will con­ centrate on these three major subjects, the PTA in Michigan can unite, for effective study and positive action," Haist declared. Many positive programs have been fostered in the past, but seldom has the organization aimed strong­ ly at specific subjects. To help its 360,000 mem­ bers organize plans of action, the group sponsored nine "program planning clinics" during August. ANEED UPDATING Most people seldom need the services of a notary public, but proper notarization of documents can avoid serious complications when legal transactions are made. Buying and selling agreements, transfer of property, publication of legal notices, and many other affairs must have signatures notarized. The notary public's responsibilitity is to verify the valid­ ity of tne signature. Failure to do so may result in a costly court suit. The importance of a notary public is in sharp con­ trast, to the minimal requirements for the appoint­ ment. For many years now, applicants need only be twenty-one yeais of age, a resident of the county from which they apply, and be endorsed by a cir­ cuit of probate judge, state senator or representa tive. A $2 filing fee is charged by the state, $1 by the county clerk, and $8 to $14 for bonding. The governor makes the appointment and only his office can revoke a commission. There are current­ ly about 100, 000 notaries public in Michigan. Com­ plaints regarding improper notarization and over­ charging of fees are frequent, according to the Sec­ retary of State's office which processes applications. Seldom are commissions cancelled. Efforts to establish higher qualifications have been unsuccessful New legislation has been introduced, but it has not received serious attention from 1 a w makers. Wm J.

The rate increase will average 10. 5 percent and in most cases will mean an additional ten cents postage per parcel. The higher rates were approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission in July. Under the new rates the minimum charge for lo­ cal parcel delivery will got from 40 to 50 cents. The minimum charge for parcels destined outside the local delivery area will be raised from 50 cents to 60 cents. Almost all parcels that are charged up to $1.10 under present rates will go up 10 cents. This a c counts for more than 80 percent of all parcel post, the postmasters pointed out. Parcel post rates are based on the weight of the package and the distance it is mailed. Higher rates for delivery of packages and cata­ logs are required to bring revenue from this type c mail within four percent of operating costs, as re­ quired by law, the postmasters explained. The higher rates are designed to put parcels and cata­ logs, which are fourth-class mail, on a break-eve basis. Additional revenue is needed from parcel post and catalogs to offset higher cost resulting from pay increases approved last year for postal e m ployees. There will be a 15-cent hike on most parcels now charged between $1.10 and $4, and a 20-cent increase on parcels now charged over $4.

Centennial meeting The Centennial Committee, heading up plans for Nashville's celebration next June 26, 27 and 28 met Wednesday evening at the Castleton Township HalL A goodly number of the organizations represented in the Centennial Committe are planning some spec­ ial events to create enthusiasm for celebrating Nash­ ville's 100th birthday. Already there are some "Brothers of the Brusn" clubs getting started, and at least four "Women's Belle" groups are in the process of signing-up members. The Nashville Garden Club women are to made their own "old fashioned" dress­ es for the event, and before long there will be plan­ ned caravans, old fashioned box socials, and per­ haps some dances with a "centennial" flavor. A history of Nashville is being handled by Mrs. Hilda Baas, and the Masonic Lodge is planning on a "capsule" containing pertinent facts about "peo­ ple and things" to be buried during the celebration tor posterity. Kenneth Fry of Potterville was present at Wednes­ day night's meeting and gave some very helpfulsuggestions in promoting the Centennial. The Centennial Committee also has on handsome derbies, old-fashioned sleeve bands for the men, and some round garters for the women, and they _ will be getting in many more articles for everyone in the community to wear to publicize Nashville's Centennial. 71 carry BROWN । Our kind t of guy!

Adv. �Civil War History A PARTIAL HISTORY OF THE NINETY MEN WHO SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR 1861-1865 WHO WERE LIVING IN VERMONTVILLE PRIOR TO THE WAR Compiled and read by Ray Anderson June 20th, 1968 at a meeting of the Vermontville Historical Society. Vermontville had over 90 soldiers in the war, and only two of these were drafted. The township raised over $13, 000. 00 for war purposes exclusive of war taxes. The town furnished 6 doctors and one preach­ er. Three soldiers were killed in battle, 15 died of disease, and a number maimed and wounded. It is difficult to separate the direct descendants of the original colonists from others who had moved to Vermontville and enlisted from here, but I will try. I find records on 17 descendents from the original colonists and 33 others. These men were scattered among many different outfits, the history of which is as follows: The Fourth Michigan Infantry contained only one Vermontville man, Surgeon Joseph B. Griswold, a descendant of the Griswold family who was a part of the original colony. I think he ended up in Grand Rapids in practice. He entered service November, 1864, and muster­ ed out May 1866. The Regiment was organized i n South Eastern Michigan June, 1861, and participa­ ted in practically afl of the engagements, both large and small, of the Army of the Potomac, a wonderful record, and here it is: Bull Run, July, 1861, New Bridge, Va., Hanover Court House, Me­ chanicsville, Gaines Mills, Savage Station, Turkey Bend, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, and Har­ rison's Landing, all in the summer of 1862. These engagements, except First Bull Run were part of Gen. McClellan's ill-fated Peninsular Campaign. Then followed Gainsville, Va. . Second Bull Run, Antietam, Md., Shepardstown Ford, Va., Snickers Gap, Va.', Fredericksburg, Va., Morrisonville,Va., also in 1862. In 1863 they fought at ChancellorsChancellonCulpepper, Va., and ville, Va., Gettysburg. Pa. Pa,, Cui Wilderness and of Spottsylvania, Va., and the seige of Petersburg, all in 18&4. This regiment was reor­ ganized July 1864, sent to Nashville, Tenn., then to Texas until May, 1866 when it was returned to Michigan and mustered out of service June 1866. The Sixth Michigan Infantry seems to have had a ter of 1861-62 when early in to New Orleans, where it was eats to enter the city upon its ler and Admiral Farragut, h next proceeded to Baton Rouge where it participatedJn the battles of June 5th and August 5th, losing in the last engagement 53 men, among wham was ~ ■ - -1 jou Qf Locy Dwight, who lived Edw.

Mr. Earl Mc­ Kibben, Mr. Ed. Wietnik and Mr. Somon Miachele explained what the Fair Association was up against in improving buildings; parking and general facil­ ities. Many people were enlightened by facts little known before now due mainly to lack of interest and communication. After much discussion and some suggestions it was thought the best thing to come from this meeting would be a committee to work with the Fair Board. In line with this the Young Farmers are to choose a committee and the 4-H Council also are to se­ lect a committee to work together with the F a ir Board on suggestions offered. The Fair Board was much impressed with the in­ terest and enthusiasm shown and felt this certainly was a step in the right direction for a much i m proved situation for the future Barry County fairs.

Flying across the state, Padget is participating in a nationwide pro­ gram of the United States Jaycees to bring "Young Men of Action" into the Jaycees. Stopping at twenty-six cities, from Houghton to Detroit, Padget is greeting each new member and personally initiating him into one of the country’s fastest growing young men's organizations. Thejaycees are dedicated to the betterment of their com­ munity and work at all levels of personal and gov­ ernmental involvement to further the aims of the city or town in which they live. From mental health programs to inner-city involvement, the Jaycees are working day and night to help their individual communities face the future. The Michigan Jaycees, over 12, 000 strong, have chapters in 260 communities throughout the state. Portions of their creed state: ”... Govemmentshould be of laws rather than of men.... and that service to humanity is the best work of life. ” Those new menioers added to the Maple Valley Jaycees were Rex Balch and Ron Rosin of Vermont­ ville, and Mike DeJune, John HartwelL Gary Nick­ eL Jerry Reese, Bill Semrau. Larry Snowden and Russell Weiler of Nashville. The pickup truck was headed north and the other car south, when they met, almost head on, at the crest of a hilL The accident was policed by Deputy Kenneth DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff's Depart­ ment who said the investigation could not be c o m pleted until he could talk to both drivers.

Well, it really isn't a picture of a back — it is a picture of the front of a back! What I mean is — the person in the picture is a Halfback. I know you will look and say that is all she needs but that is a no-no. What I am trying to tell you is that this skatback came jogging past our house the other day and dropped In for a cup of cider. This football player, who refused to identify herself, had pads in places where they weren't even needed. She insisted that none of the padding was really her -- they are all Spalding. The football player in the picture tried to go out for the team but failed the physical. Such is life! - By the time the paper comes out again, we will have a new president. They have not given us much of a choice this time around. The political power in both parties saw to it that things went their way and as a result, many of us feel we have no one to vote for. The best we can do is to vote against someone. That is — vote for a man just to keep the other two from getting the office. ' Perhaps out of this will come a nit of "Soul Searching" and maybe sometime in the future they wilf let the people choose the candidates through a primary vote. In the meantime, we can go out and vote for the lesser of three evils and even then, many of us will have a difficult choice. Someone said it is too bad they close the bars on this election day. If we ever needed a drink, it might be then! I really can't get too excited about the national election. The locals, though -r there is something you can sink your teeth into The Maple Valley Jaycees are taking donations from folks who want to contribute toward helping Raymond Barlond obtain an artificial foot. This is a worthy cause, and the JC's are always plugging ji worthy cause. A contribution might just help you, also. Someone is going to win some prizes. They hope to make enough money on this proj­ ect to set up a fund for future needs that might arise. * - RoUte#2 Nashville, Mich. Oct. 25, 1968 Last week's News featured two letters written in response to my previous letter stating that my stand on students was completely wrong. This summer I had the privilege of traveling to many Wallace ral­ lies throughout several states. I had many confrontations and discussions with student hecklers and all tried to impress me with their advanced education and their democratic val­ ues. But when Mr. Wallace was speaking, their ed­ ucation seemed to fall by the wayside and so did their democratic values--such as free speech and the right to be heard. I am sure Susan Hansen will concede to this, since she was in Lansing when Wal­ lace spoke there. AU the hecklers I spoke to professed to be univer­ sity of college students. I received the distinct im­ pression that they were afraid to let any candidate speak, and this heckling was the only way they could silence it. J. Edgar Hoover said on February 1, 1967, " T o day the communist conspiracy is reaping large div­ idends from its persistent efforts to gain a toehold on college and university campuses and from its dogged determination to disrupt, through mass agi­ tation, the orderly processes of our educational and poUtical systems, " If the FBI is concerned about student agitation, I believe aU responsible citizens should be. " The students say "teU it as it is" but when Wal­ lace speaks the truth, they seem to be afraid to hear it or even let anyone else hear. They talk and heckle a lot, but have few realistic suggestions on how to settle the problems facing this nation today. At the Wallace Rally in Flint, while the Nation­ al Anthem was played and the American flag rais­ ed, did they shut up? No, they hollered and yelled and actually cursed the flag. If this is the "New .-breed of American" I much prefer the Old American breed, the ones with re­ spect for their county, flag, fellowmen and them­ selves. Yours truly, Douglas Ayles 73 Billings Road N. Quincy, Mass. Oct. 24, 1968 "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency fThr VFe Pagg The Buck The generation gap has been indicated by the many campus riots, the Chicago demonstrations, and other indications. They indicate that there is dis­ satisfaction in our society. To many of us in our for­ ties, it is easy to shrug our shoulders and to pass the buck on communist conspiracy. It is no different than at divorce courts where one usually hears," It's all my wife or husband's fault. " It is more shocking for us to compare our own domestic situation in Eastern Europe with Czechoslavakia. Russia's argu­ ment is almost identical. The Czechoslavakain and Rumanian unrest have all come from the Western imperialists and CIA activities. It is my firm belief only the ignorant individual will put all the blame or the other side. Because if we are intelligent enough, we shall examine our own fault from time to time in such matters as gov­ ernmental corruption, the suppression and manage­ ment of news media, the manipulations of political powers, the misappropriation of funds in our educa­ tion institutions.

I think maybe it is time for us to take a look at ourselves before we criticize the younger generation. Some of us had dreams, some of us were pure;some of us still strive for the decency and compassion. It is undeniable we have many internal decays in our society which may be stimulated by the communis­ tic conspirators. However, our internal decay may add more ammunitions to the enemies. In order for us to preserve our freedom and liberty, I think we have to eliminate the corruption in our government, and abuse of power, and most of aU, the society needs decency and compassion towards all human beings.

Dear Sir: As an alumni of Maple Valley High School I still take an interest in the activities of the school and town and read the Maple Valley News every week to find out the latest happenings. I recently became aware of a situation at the Maple Valley Homecoming football game which maxes me wonder what has become of good ole MVHS. I would like to know the reasons behind the fact that the winning floats were the only ones allowed to circle the football field. I was raised to believe that it wasn'vwho won, but how the game was played that was important and now suddenly it becomes mandatory to r e ceive first or second place to be recognized. Did anyone stop to think of how much time goes into a float? I speak from personal experience when I say that many, many long bouts of hard work and money go into making float presentation. Didn't anyone think of the pride the "losers" have in just seeing their float go by and being able to say, as I used to, "See my float down there.. I don't care what the judges day, I still think my float is the best." If I was a member of the "losing squad, " I would never build another float or work on any project for the school or town. (And, as those of you know who knew me while I was in high school, I was nev­ er lacking in scbool spirit or gumption.) If the town can't arrange enough time to look at my work, I certainly can't take the time to prepare something only to nave it set in the parking lot. Nationwide television finds time to present floats in the Rose Bowl parade and yet Maple Valley can't. What I want to know is Why? I'll admit these floats aren't made of roses, but the efforts behind them and the time and fellowship of the students making them make them "as of gold. ’ For any school or any team effort to succeed they need teamwork and confidence from all sides. Al­ though not everyone can be a football player or a cheerleader, there ate many ways for students to show their pride in their team and school and town. For Instance, they build a float and are proud as peacocks waiting to circle the field and display their "work of an" only to find out that this effort isn't appreciated enough to warrant recognition.. and why.. because they didn't place innthe compe­ tition. .. is this even a reason? If the officials felt that the band presentation or crowning of the queen should take the place of the parade of floats at half time, then I fail to see the reason why the pre-game warm-up period for the teams cannot be utilized for this purpose. I hope that next year the officials reverse their decision of this year or at least let the students know beforehand that their work won't be appreci­ ated and above all let the general public know the reasons behind this definite smothering of school spirit, Sincerely, Jo Anne Parsons Jo Anne (Long) President of the Class of 1964 The Maple Valley News.

SHERIFF. When Mrs. Russell D. Booher planted her garden last spring she hardly thought she'd be reaping this kind of harvest—a potato which weighed six pounds, and surely would be "more than a meal" for even the largest of families. Made up of 11 potatoes—four large and nicely formed ones—and several smaller ones, she could scarcely believe her eyes when she dug about ten bushels recently. She found one other " multiple" one, but it didn't even come close to this monstrosity. Mrs. Booher nas been raising a garden "for as far back as I can remember" ana she also raises some genuine Indian com and many, many gourds. Mr. and Mrs. Booher have been residing on their farm north of Vermontville the past ten yean, and have always lived in the Woodland, Sunfield and Vermontville area. She is a member of the Ver­ montville Woman's Club, the United Methodist Church and is active in the Woman's Society of Christian Service. Mr. Booher is employed at the Sunfield Elevator. The Boohen have three sons, Ver­ non of Lake Odessa, Kerwin who resides on M-79 south of Vermontville and Durwood of St. Mary's Lake, and five grandchildren.

Its activities were confined mostly up and down the Mississippi River, engaging in nine battles and skirmishes in­ cluding the siege and capture of Vicksburg under Gen. Grant, So you see this regiment took part in two major engagements of the war. This regiment contained seven from Vermont­ ville, including two surgeons namely: Robert. C. Kedzie Jan. ,1862 to October 1862, and Almon A. Thompson, September 1862, mustered out Aug­ ust, 1865. Elisha Wiard of Co. G. died at Pitts­ burg Landing (Shiloh) andSanil J, Cazier discharg­ ed September, 1862. He was the preacher mention­ ed earlier, and it was his wife, later Mrs. Williams who painted the two pictures that hung in the Con­ gregational Church for so many years. Also Curtis H. Chappell, discharged September 1862, Chas. S. De mono discharged to re-enlist as a veteran De­ cember, 1863, and Soloman Wiard discharged Oc­ tober, 1862. locals Mrs. Eliza Emery entertained at her home Sun­ day, October 27 with a birthday dinner for her son Wesley, also for Wesley McVay of Lake Odessa, whose birthday was celebrated. Those present were Mr, and Mrs. Howard McVay their daughter, Cathy and Lois, and their son, Wes­ ley of Lake Odessa, Mrs. Bernice Scheldt of Lake Odessa and Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Emery of Hastings. In the evening Eliza accompanied Wdsley ana Jo Ann over to Lansing to the Civic Auditorium to die Grand Old Opra. The Thirteenth Michigan Infantry was organized in Kalamazoo late 1861 and early 1862, when it also left for the Tennessee and engaged in the bat­ tle of Shiloh at Pittsburg Lanc ing April 1862. In­ cluded in the 26 engagements that this regiment participated in was the above mentioned battle of Shilo under Gen. Grant, the battles around Mur­ freesboro including Stone's River under Rosecrans, and the battles around Chattanooga, namely Chicamauga; Mission Ridge, and Lookout Mountain. In February, 1864 they were furloughed to Michi­ gan for 30 days. Upon returning to service they joined Sherman at Kingston, Ga. and remained with him throughout the Atlanta Campaign and the famous march to the sea. The regiment was returned to Jackson, Michigan in July, 1865 and disbanded. The regiment contained five Vermontville men including Frederick A. Church, son of Deacon S. S. Church, one of the original colonists, who died near Mooresville, Alabama, July 13th, 1862. The other Vermontville men were John R. Scott killed at. Stone's River, Tenn., December 31, 1862, Pandora A. Sprague, discharged for disability February, 1863 Cephus Smith mustered out July, 1865 and John Mc­ Carty who re-enlisted February, 1864, mustered out 1866. The Second Michigan Cavalry was organized in Grand Rapids November 1861, leaving immediately for St. Louis, Mo., where it remained until March, 1862 when it was assigned to Gen. Pope's command. It was just shortly after, that Capt. Phil Sheridan was promoted to CoL and assigned to this outfit. Incidentally, Gen'l Sheridan's horse " Rienza" was foaled at or near Grand Rapids and was brought into the Federal Army by an officer of this, the Second Michigan Cavalry, and was presented to Gen. Sher­ idan at Rienza, Mississippi, and remain "Winchest­ er” after the town made famous by Sheridan's ride up the Shenandoah Valley. It was with the Army of the Cumberland that it saw most of its action in Middle and Eastern Tennessee. They participated in engagements around Nashville, Murfreesboro, Chat­ tanooga, Shelbyville, Columbia, Pulaski, all in Tennessee and Florence, Alabama. In March, 1864 most of the regiment re-inlisted and returned to Michigan for a thirty-day furlough. Upon its return they joined Gen. Sherman's Army then concentrat- Attends three-day conference Mrs. Hilda Baas and Mrs. Amy Bower of Hastings, vice president of the Barty County Historical So­ ciety, attended the 94th conference of the Histori­ cal Society of Michigan and it also was the first combined annual meeting of the Michigan Museums Conference and the Historical Society of Michigan October 17, 18 and 19 at Kalamazoo. On Thursday the meeting were held in the Kala­ mazoo Public Library and Museum building with a delicious luncheon at the YWCA. An interesting talk was given by Charles R. Hoskins, Director Mon­ ey Museum, National Bank of Detroit. They have a trailer money museum that visits schools ofDetroit. After the afternoon meeting, they enjoyed an in­ teresting tour of the museum. They are building an Egyptian Tomb in which they will place a mummy which is displayed in a case. The artist is painting scenes on the wall typical of Egyptian scenes which were explained. Dinner Thursday night and the remainder of the meetings were held at Western at the Waldo Library and Student Center. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Hugh M. Beahan. Director of Radio and Television, Grand Rap­ ids' Diocese gave a very interesting talk leaving the thought that it is most important to have the ability to be concerned about other people. He also gave the thought, " If you volunteer for a church job, carry a glass of water to revive the one you're ask­ ing for the job." Friday morning Don Altemui, Curator of Exhibits at Kingman Natural History Museum, Battle Creek, spoke on "Things you might have and what to do with them. " He mentioned to never down grade anyone's private collection, never turn them down, always look at them. Mr. Harvey Venteeg, Cura­ tor at the Charlton Park Museum had already invit­ ed people to stop at the museum on their way home ana see the many things that are at the museum. Also he mentioned the fact that the museum would like to trade or sell the surplus of some items they have in order to get other things they need at the museum. Mr. Altemus mentioned that he had seen the priceless collection to end all collections at Charlton Park Museum, but if only Mr. Charlton would have written down the information and stories about these articles which he had catalogued in his mind. A tour through the Archives and Regional Collec­ tion of Western Michigan University'was greatly enjoyed. These materials have been moved to new rooms in die Waldo Library. The Archivist Wayne C. Mann is attempting to get the materials filed on shelves, in cabinets and in drawers as fast as he can, but all filing problems haven't been solved yet. A mon interesting late afternoon tour was at the Octogon House on South Westnedge owned by Mb. James S. Gilmore who graciously welcomed the guests. It was built in 1855 and is used as a guest house today. Punch was served. Friday evening was the annual banquet. Richard C. Frank, president, presided. The welcome was given by Dr. James W. Miller, president of Western. The Vanity Vagabonds consisting of 8 students of WMU directed by Dr. Elwyn Carter very pleasingly sang and played. In November they leave for some USO programs in the Pacific. The annual Clarence M. Burton Memorial Lecture was given by Mrs. Har­ riet Arnow, author of several prize winning books. One of her books, "The Dollmaker" is about early Michigan. Mrs. Arnow was bom in Kentucky but af­ ter marrying moved to Michigan and bought a 40 acre farm at that time near Ann Arbor. She most in­ terestingly told about parts of her life from when as a child sitting on a horse hair sofa which wasn't too comfortable on her skin to modem times with the building of roads and enlarging cities causing the wildlife to leave their habitats on the Arnow farm. Her interesting manner of telling and word usage helped to easily visualize the farm, wild animals and birds who lived in the woods and swamps. On Saturday William A. Murtagh. Keeper of the National Register, Office of Archeology and Histor­ ic Preservation, National Park Service Department of the Interior very interestingly told about the im­ portance of these preservations. The one draw-back has been lack of funds. Out of around 1000 entries in US, only 6 are in Michigan; Fort Michilimackinac, St. Mary's Fall Canal, Mackinac Island, St. Ignace Mission, Henry Ford Estate, Fairlane, and Nor­ ton Mound Group 2 miles south of Grand Rapids on Indian Mound Drive. . The annual business meeting was held at the Sat­ urday noon luncheon. In the afternoon a trip to the Kalamazoo Nature Center on North Westneoge Ave­ nue was enjoyed by a few. This is privately owned and is maintained by endowments, annual member­ ships and admissions. At the Interpretive Center the group was told the Center Program is designed as Re­ search, Education, and Conservation. It is a 400 a­ cre tract of land $750, 000 Intrepretive Center and a well trained and experienced staff. The Center houses Sun-Rain Room with 100 tons of boulders, many tropical plants (saw a banana tree with a bunch 'of bananas) museum displays on Michigan wildlife, geology, land and water use. Natural History Sales Shop, classrooms, state headquarters of the Michigan Audubon Society, Observation Bridge and Panoramic Glen Vista. There are nature trails, 100 acres are being operated as a demonstration farm, including typical farm animals and raising such crops as wheat, com, sunflower seed, millet, buckwheat and soy­ beans. Soil, water and wildlife conservation practices are demonstrated, 200 acres are devoted to research pro­ jects, soil and water conservation, experimentation, wild flower and fern garden, sugar bush. etc. Exhib­ its in the basement were very interesting. They had just had Fall Harvest Show. Before Christmas they exhibit Christmas trees around the world decorated by students at Western from these countries. In the spring they exhibit baby animals which the children can cuddle. The animals are changed every hour so that no animal will become too tired or hurt. This was a most interesting place to visit. Children sure­ ly enjoy the Nature Center. These are some of the most interesting things that Mrs. Baas and Ms. Bower say and heard. It was a very interesting and educational three days. ing near Chattanooga, for the Atlanta Campaign. Eventually it ended up in the Macon, Georgia area, with detachments at Perry, Barnsville, Forsythe, Milledgesville and Thomaston, Georgia. Vermont­ ville had 13 men in this outfit, seven of whom were direct descendants of original colonists as follows: Marshall Dickinson, September 1861 to August.1865, Isaac Griswold, October 1864 to August 1865, El­ bridge Fairfield died at St. Louis,- Mo., June 28,1862 Duane Hawkins mustered out June 1865, John Squier discharge October 1864, Willard H. Dickinson dis­ charged for disability June 1862, and Martin Luther Squier September 1861 to August 1865. He was twice personally complimented by Gen. Sheridan. Capt. Squier was assigned to dity as quartermaster at Ma­ con, Georgia, there to close out all government supplies within the military department of Georgia. The other Vermontville men in this outfit were Da­ vid Young, discharged for disability August 1862, Willis R. Rogers, re-enlisted and was killed at Ox­ ford, Tennessee, April, 1864; Edward McIntyre mus­ tered out August 1865, Delos French died at Frank­ lin, Tennessee, August 1864, Daniel Hobbes, 1861 to August 1865, and George W. Towne who was a substitute for Henry J. Martin who was a son of Wells R. Martin, an original colonist, mustered out June 1865. The outfit itself was returned to Michigan Au­ gust 1865 and mustered out of service. The Third Michigan Cavalry was also organized in Grand Rapids July, 1861 and had about the same military service and record as the proceeding Sec­ ond Michigan Cavalry. There was one Vermontville man with this outfit, namely Albert Thompson, Sur­ geon serving from March 1864 to February 1866. The outfit was mustered out of service February 1866. Now comes the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, which really had a record. It contained two Vermontville men, Jerome B. Scovell, an original colonist, des­ cendant, and Chas. F. Fuller who came to Vermont­ ville after the war was over. However, we must mention his for he was one of the lucky ones who lived through imprisonment in the infamous Ander­ sonville prison, where thousands more unfortunate died. This outfit was organized in Detroit, July 1862 and mustered out of service July, 1865, but in between those dates listen to this: This Cavalry par­ ticipated in 92 engagements, both minor and major, including Stone's River at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Chicamauga, Chattanooga and Mission Ridge. But this isn't all: They captured Jefferson Davis at Irwinsville, George. May 11, 1865. Mr. Scovell was discharged by order May 1865. Mr. Fuller was, of course released from prison at the end of the war. The outfit as a whole was mustered out of service at Nashville, Tennessee, and returned to Detroit arriving July, 1865. There was one soldier, George Davis, son of Wil­ lard Davis, one of the original colonists, who serv­ ed in the war, but as yet 1 am unable to locate his record of service. This just about takes care of the veterans who were livmg in Vermontville before the war. There may be others that we can locate later. However, there was a little item in Mr. C. A. Hallenbeck’s diary that leads me to believe that the Civil War soldiers had to pay for their own uniforms, clothing and shoes. This hardly seems fair. After the war other veterans moved to the village and surrounding area and were very active in the af­ fairs of the community, both as business men and farmers. They organized a post of the GAR, mean­ ing The Grand Army of the Republic, and named it after Edw. P. Dwight, who was killed in the battle of Baton Rouge. The GAR Post had a membership of some 60 or 70 members. We mustn’t forget Mrs. Clara Squier Vaughn, a daughter of Wait Squier, one of the original colonists, who contributed mon­ ey to help build the GAR hall, as a memorial to all soldiers and sailors, which is. the second story of the bank building, now being under the control of the American Legion. Just so we don't forget, let's just summarize:Vermontville had over 90 men in the war, three were killed, 15 -died of disease, and a number were maimed and wounded. Those were patriotic men.

Some ideas gained from the magazine were—the largest problem fac­ ing us is the problem of human destiny. How can America best serve the ends of man? The test of a democracy is measured by the con­ fidence of the government in the people. Food, peace and freedom are the big challanges. War is an invention of the human wifi. The hu­ man will can invent peace. The above are quotes from Norman Cousins. Fourth hour American government class and both World geography classes celebrated the United Na­ tions 23rd birthday by viewing colored slides of the UN and singing, "Little Songs on Big Subjects.

Village president Harold Christiansen asked for a secret ballot, which resulted in five members vot- • ing "no" and the sixth member abstained. The action resulted from Mr. Green's request that his property be rezoned to commercial so that he might dispose of a building there to be used as an automobile paint and body shop. Some 28 persons in the area had petitioned the council to continue the property as residential. The building in ques­ tion had previously been commercial, but at the time the zoning ordinance went into effect last January, the structure was not occupied. James Erwin who owns six lots, on South Main Street asked that the first three, starting from . Quaker Creek and continuing south, be rezoned residential and agriculture instead of residential. Because of water and sewer lines running across the lots he cannot keep them mowed, and they are of no value for building purposes. The council set the date for the hearing as November 14, the next reg­ ular council night, and action will be taken at a later date. The council voted to pay the $60 costs for survey­ ing the Kenneth Mix property on Middle Street ano approximately $128 for a five-foot fence to be e­ rected between the Youth building and the Mix property. It was found the Youth Building was con­ structed over on-the Mix property. This occurred many years ago. James Erwin, superintendent of the street depart­ ment, gave a detailed report of_his activities for Perry (Pete) Larson the past summer which included storm sewer lines, a seal coat on Queen and Middle Streets and black­ top on Reed Street. Other work included installing three new hydrants two sewer hookups and general maintenance work which totalled approximately $21, 000. The work had previously been approved in this year's budget. Erwin also stated he has been awarded a scholar­ ship for a seminar on management provided by the American Water Works Commission of Connecti­ cut. The scholarship was made available through the Udiversity of Michigan. The seminar will take place early next year and Erwin would like to at­ tend. The council will take action on the matter at a future meeting. For the present, at least, the garbage pickup will remain' as it is, and the patrons will not have to place their garbage at the curb. At the council meeting two weeks ago Ed. Baker, owner of the Charlotte Sanitation company, asked that this change be made. Meanwhile Christiansen, and some of the council members have been contacted by a number of older persons who felt this would prove a real hardship to them. Paying the bills and other items were routine. New dump hours Starting November 1st, there will be a change in the dump hours for the village. The dump will be open from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Wednesday and from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Satur­ days. KNOW YOUR MICHIGAN LAW Electoral College explained By Attorney General Frank J. Kelley ‘ (This is a public service article explaining in gen­ eral terms a provision of Michigan law. Individuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney). In this election year the electoral college is hav­ ing trouble with its students and that makes it simi­ lar to a lot of other American colleges. But trouble is about the only similarity. Many stu­ dents of the electoral college—United States sena­ tors and representatives--want to do away with it al­ together. This attitude makes them pretty radical even when compared to other student leaders. What is this electoral college anyway? How does it work and why do many national leaders want to abolish it? The framers of the United States Constitution es­ tablished the electoral college as a method of indir­ ectly electing the president. As originally conceived by them, voters in every state would not vote for President or Vice President at all. Rather, they would vote for a group of persons—known as a college—e­ qual to the total number of senators and representa­ tives that state sent to Washington. The method by which these electors are to be elected is solely a matter of state statute. In Michigan an individual's vote for President is really a vote for a list of elec­ tors certified to the Secretary of State by the candi­ date's state party organization. Orginally, these presidential electors were not to be voted for on the basis of party affiliation, but because they had a reputation for honesty and good judgment. If a state had eight representatives and two sena­ tors, for example, it then had 10 electoral votes (Michigan has 21) and so would elect 10 presiden tial electors. The 10 candidates receiving the high­ est number of votes would be elected. They would then meet in the state capitol on the appointed day in December and debate the qualifications of var­ ious persons' they felt would make a good Presi­ dent or Vice President. Each elector then cast his vote for two persons--one for President, the other for Vice President. A list was prepared showing the number of votes each candidate received and whether it was for President or Vice President. The list was sealed and sent to the President of the'Senate in Washington. The President of the Senate is the incumbent Vice President of the UniJed States, The President of the Senate would examine the lists from all the states at the same time, and count the votes. This remains unchanged today. The candidate with the majority of all the elector­ al votes is elected President, and the person with the majority of electoral votes for the office of Vice President is elected Vice President. In case of a failure of any one candidate to achieve a major­ ity of electoral votes for either office the House of Representatives elects a President from the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes. If the election was thrown into the House, each state has only one vote, and a candidate needs a majority—26--to win. Thus, all the newly-elected or recently-elected representatives from each state vote for a candidate among themselves. When they decide on a candidate, their state casts one vote for him. The Senate elects the Vice President on a similar basis, except that they only consider the top two vote-getters, and each Senator casts one vote instead of each state. The rise of the two-party system in America greatly undermined the working of the electoral college. The political parties began nominating entire slates of electors who ran as a group. If they received the most votes they would all become the presidential electors of that state and would cast their votes for their party's nominees for President and Vice President. So the presidential electors now are party representatives who merely put the official stamp of approval on the two men who re­ ceive the majority popular vote in the state. Thus the original reason for the electoral college has disappeared. The voters in a particular state now determine who they want to run the nation. Many critics of the electoral college consider popu­ lar election of the President and Vice President pre­ ferable today to the original system of indirect e­ lection. . Since the original intent of the electoral college system has disappeared through practice and princi­ ple this should be sufficient reason for an abolition of the system. However, other reasons exist as well, according to the critics of the electoral college: 1. A third-party candidate who receives a suffi­ cient number of electoral votes to deny either of the main party candidates a majority can throw the election into the House of Representatives. Since each state now casts all of its electoral votqs for only one presidential ticket, throwing the election into the House is easier under the electoral col­ lege system than it would be if a presidential can­ didate only bad to receive a certain percentage of the popular vote. 2. The electoral college system as now practiced imposes a type of ” unit rule” on the states In which if a certain candidate receives the majority of the popular vote he receives all of the electoral votes. This effectively deprives those who did not vote for the majority candidate of a voice in the ultimate election of the President. 3. By carrying states with a large electoral vote by a slim majority while his opponent carries small­ er states by a wide majority, a candidate could be elected President even though he receives less of thfe popular vote than his opponent. 4. Once tire election reaches tire House of Repre­ sentatives each state participates equally in the e­ lective process regardless of population. The votes of Delaware and Nevada have the same weight as the votes of California or New York. Such a pro­ cedure is incompatible with the now-accepted prin­ ciple of repsesentation according to population. 5. The presidential electors, even though today nominated and elected on the basis of party affili­ ation, are in no way bound to vote for the candidate who represents their party., This can become a fac­ tor in states in which a third-party candidate is very popular. Electors who nominally represent one parry and are elected with the understanding that they wfil vote for that party's candidate may bolt the party and vote for the third-party candidate, thus disre­ garding the purpose for which they were elected. Many proposals have been advanced to replace the electoral college system. Those that appear to have the greatest chance of success say the election -•( the President should be based on winning the grtatest popular vote above a certain minimum per­ centage of the total vote cast.

The person pictured is Roma White and the dress-up occasion was a Hal­ loween party for a Tuesday afternoon bridge club. rather unusual season. These are probably the last home grown strawberries we will have this year and we realized this as we ate our shortcake. Really, it was even better than it is in the spring. A move is taking place. Supermarket Jewelers, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Vic Higdon, is now in the process of moving to a new location. They will have their shop in the building formerly occupied by the Beedle Insurance Agency on Main Street. Help in the move and getting the place read­ y for business is being given by Bruce and Vance Hig­ don. Vic Higdon is a patient at the Veteran's Hospital, Ann Arbor, but appears to be progressing welt The move to the new location should be all accomplish­ ed before Vic returns home. ' Mrs. Baas who is working on the historical aspect of the centennial, and Mrs. Priddy, who is in charge of the centennial plate, have asked for old photographs that the committe could use. Ray No­ Dan came to the fore there too.- He brought in a bunch of them which will be of great help to the committee. Anyone else who has pictures which might be of interest can bring them into the News office or can contact either of these two ladies. Ray Noban came in the other day with the gift of a quart of his ever-bearing strawberries. He nad picked them just an hour or so before in his yard. I always thought strawberries were an early spring item. Ray admitted that it is real unusual to have them so late in the season, but then this has been a OtOOOOM , The politicians have done more to make people mad than anything else when they took all the time Monday night for their campaigning. Maybe the smart one would have allowed the Laugh-In to go on the air as his commercial. Rather than tell­ ing all of that guff about what they will do if they get in the White House, just putting on a regular show with the commercials taken up with a'vote for me" message might be good. By the time you read this it will be all over and we will have a new President and then we can all go back to our regular shows and the football game. ”AS I SEE IT” This week is the last week for Jo Woudstra to work with us at the News office. She and Woody are off on a new venture and we wish them much success, but we will surely miss her around our place. She has been with us for so many years, she's like a part of us and of the News office. Still have some familiar faces left here, but we'll all miss Jo. written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Why PhD’s? Recently I visited the East Lansing School District and entered into discussion with several veteran ed­ ucators. Many of them were rather discouraged for they had been bypassed in promotions in becoming a junior high school principal because of a lack of earned PhD degree. As they pointed out, the major­ ity of our community college presidents are not Ph­ Ds. At the present time, two of our three large state supported universities have no earned PhD, The Un­ iversity of Michigan president has an earned law de­ gree and President Hannah of Michigan State Univer­ sity has an earned Bachelor degree. Both of them have achieved administrative competency in higher education and possess not only national prominence but also international prominence as leaders of edu­ cation. In East Lansing School Districts the other so-call­ ed rich school districts, however, they now require the earned PhD to be a junior high school principal. Many kindergartens require PhDs to teach gifted children for special educational purposes. I am sure it is the same in industry with founders of large in­ dustries such as Henry Ford, Alfred Sloan, and to­ day's giants like Jim Roche. Some may have a bach­ elor degree while some may not have even entered the college door. Many college professors try to use the degree to hide their incompetencies. The em­ ployment requirements that have such heavy empha­ sis in degree really show a contemporous attitude to our industrial founders and even disrespect to pre­ sent top executives because they are lacking in de­ gree. I feel very strongly that creativeness in writing, in teaching, in science, and in engineering need not be limited to degrees only. We need professions with dedication and ability. The artists and true scientists find little interest in going through the routine. During this critical period, we shall not discourage individuals with ability and courage in order to strive forward. It is my humble opinion teachers deserve respect. Good teachers deserve merit rating. It is especially totally unacceptable for us to insist on only an earn­ ed doctorate as requirement for a junior high prin­ cipal while we overlook the college presidents with their academic degrees. It is not totally different when we can elect a great president as Abe Lincoln from his humble background to be a national lead­ er instead of appointing a blue-blooded prince from a British Island to be our ruler.

A PROCLAMATION HEREAS, The quality of life in our nation’s future will be determined largely by the direction given to and the character developed by today's youth; and JhEREAS, Our nation’s schools play a paramount role in defining that direction Jand shaping that character by endeavoring to— • Offer pupils the opportunity to learn and practice society's values, direct intel­ lectual development toward recognizing, making, and evaluating choices, and consider the curriculum in terms of its total impact on the value development of children; • Recognize the needs of a complex society, view education in terms of national goals, encourage international understanding, and foster divergent and creative thinking as a means of improving society; • Encourage the teaching of children as individuals aud employ only teachers with the preparation and personal qualities necessary for effective teaching; • Offer each child a meaningful education suited to his individual needs regardless of the child’s ability level, geographic location, or socioeconomic status; • Stimulate continuing inquiry, with emphasis placed on the value of learning for its own rewards, and provide opportunities for a broad general education; • Contribute to economic progress by providing early and realistic career counsel­ ing, educating all students to the full extent of their abilities, and maintaining a vocational educational program of the highest quality; • Enhance the human quality of students by helping them discover and develop their abilities and live contentedly within their limits, advocate constructive at­ titudes toward leisure interests, and encourage both adaptability to change and action to direct change in ways beneficial to humanity; and HEREAS, In the achievement of these endeavors lies the happiness and well-being of the individual as well as that of society as a whole; and NATIONAl NEWSPAPER |ACQT HEREAS, One of the primary duties of an enlightened citizenry must, therefore, be knowledge of. interest in, and responsibility for the quality of our schools, MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS & VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

VOGT Dear friends, STEVEN GRAHAM I am very happy and proud to teceive this great honor as Maple Valley Jaycee of the Month and I would like to thank my parents for letting me attend so many of the interesting meetings within the JC organization. I have lived in Nashville as a single young man for the past twenty-one years of my life. I was graduated from the Maple valley HighSchool in 1966 and then attended Fems State College for a year. The following year I spent attending Battle — Creek Community College.. This past July I inlisted in the United States Navy. Currently I am working for Backe Construction Company out of Hastings while waiting to leave for my Navy basic training. I will leave for active duty on November 6th of this year to attend basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Chi­ cago, HL After finishing my four years in the Navy I plan on finishing my college education. The present-day funeral has evolved through the' years from man's instinctive desire to pay tribute to the life of a deceased person, and man's belief in a spiritual life hereaf ter. It reflects our folk­ ways and social customs, and our civic and health rules. The modern funeral symbolizes man's ideals, his hopes, his religious beliefs. Respectfully, 'Voqt FUNERAL HOMES for this honor and hope that our organization contin­ ues to do a good job of helping better the two c o m munities and the surrounding area._________________ PHONE 011.2412 ar Here are the FINEST at LOWEST PRICES!

He talked to the 5th hour World (Geography class and told them to be careful and not change'the world too much. Congressman Brown spent about 15 minutes with the seniors in the auditorium. He talked to them about Congress and how he became a Representative. Then he answered questions from the group. Congressman Brown said he would like to leturn after election and spend an hour with our students. To our knowledge, this is the first Congressman to visit us since John Ketcham from Hastings visited Nashville High School many years ago. I believe he was a graduate of NHS. We enjoyed a long letter from Harold Degner, an ex-grad, who is in Thailand in the Air Force. We also had a letter from David Stairs who is in the Me­ kong Delta, south of Saigon. Bill Eastman fell in a mortar shell hole and broke his arm. He has or will be sent to the Philippines and Guam so his arm will ■ heal. Visitors to B5 have been David Ramsey, a student at Kellogg Community College. Gary Hampton dropped tn to say he is now with FM radio, Hastings station. Rex Toad announced to us that he is joining the armed services. Larry Schance, LCC, has been elected president of the college Future Teachers group. His assigned duty is to work with one near-by school in helping them set up a Cadet teaching proj­ ect.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF MAPLE VALLEY Once upon a time, not so long ago, a student went to school and learned enough to last a lifetime. But nowadays, anyone who stops learning at any age is a dropout. So say the sponsors of American Education Week scheduled for observance by Maple Valley Schools November 10-16. This is tne annual visit-theschools week in which more than 30 million parents participate. Most teachers nowadays, according to Mr. Hous­ ler, try to teach youngsters techniques for learning, rather than just facts, since the facts the student learns today may be obsolete 10 years from now. Thousands of young adults have already realized this. Each year about 25 million of them go into a­ dult education activities, mostly of a vocational or recreational nature. • By and large these adult students are already well educated. Statistics show that a college-educated executive, housewife, or professional person with a family income of more than $7, 000 a year is six times more likely to be in an adult education pro­ gram than is a grade-school-educated, blue-collar worker with an annual income of $4, 000. Statistics like these show a need for schools to instill in those least likely to go to college a love of lifelong learning, as they are the ones who probably could profit most from formal adult courses in later years. Th: theme of American Education Week this year is: "America Has a Good Thing Going--Its Schools. " Sponsored annually by the National Education Asso­ ciation, The American Legion, the National Contress of Parents and Teachers, and the US Office of ducation, AEW will emphasize each day of the week specific contributions the school makes to so­ ciety: Sunday, November 10: "Stimulate Moral and Spiritual Values;" Monday, November 11; "Strength­ en the Nation;" Tuesday, November 12: "Aspire to Quality Teaching;" Wednesday, November 13: "Pro­ vide Equal Opportunity;" Thursday, Novembbr 14: "Foster Lifelong Learning;" Friday, November 15; "Promote Economic Prosperity;" and Saturday, No­ vember 16: "Strive for Healthy Personality Develop­ ment. " FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The second meeting of the Future Teachers was held October 14. The trip to Western Michigan Uni­ versity on November 16 was discussed. Formal initiation was held and the following stu­ dents were initiated: Dave Smith, Bruce Hulbert, Durwood Stewart, Teresa Wells, Randy Shance, Steve Gaedert, Rick Spitzer and John Eastman. The guest speaker was Mr. William Owens, Michi­ gan Education Association student coordinator. Some excellent slides and discussion followed on theWashS' n Seminar and delegate assembly at St. Mary's The meeting was adjourned and refreshments were served. American Education Week, traditionally schedul­ ed for the week in which Veteran's Day falls, is an annual event designed to focus public attention on the needs and achievements of the nation’s schools. It serves to increase public understanding and a p preciation of the schools, to encourage parents to visit their children's schools at least once a year, to secure civic and community support for measures to improve the schools, and to help students gain a n appreciation of what the schools are doing for them. AEW was instituted in 1921 by the joint action of the American Legion and the National Education Association to enlist the public in eliminating the high proportion of illiteracy and poor physical fit­ ness prevalent among the American youth during World War L Many church leaders take a keen interest in AEW because of the mutual concern of school and church in children and youth. FHA SLUMBER PARTY It was a wild time Friday night for the girls who came to Sally Stewart's home. The occasion was the annual all-night, FHA Slumber Party. Getting in on the action were the following 17 FHAers: Marsha Ackett, Chris Brown, Lucy Bryan, Helene Cotton, Karen Decker, Jeri Hammond, Jeannt and Melissa Hansen, Anita Lingholm, Vickie Lundstrum, Gail Martin, Jackie Medcoff. Karen Nelson, Lois Pennock, Barb Snow, Sally Stewart and Phyllis Sylvester. Also being accused of enjoying themselves were Mrs. Harold Stewart and guitar-playing Mrs. William Hammond.

The program is co-sponsored ny the Michigan Jaycees with Central Soya and its Mas­ ter Mix feed dealers. , Bramer said that the winner of the state program would be entered in the National Outstanding Young Farmer Program to be held this year in St. PauL Minnesota. The national event, which each year honors four Outstanding Young Farmers from through­ out the nation, is held under the auspices of the US Jaycees and Central Soya. Over 250 Jaycee chapters throughout the state will be asked to select a local Outstanding Young Farmer for entry in the state competition. To be eligible, the farmer must be between 21 and 35 years of age and be an actual farm or ranch opera­ tor with a minimum of two-thirds of his income de­ rived therefrom. Entrants are selected on progress in their agricultural careers, soil and natural r e sources conservation practices and civic and social contributions to their community, state and nation. Local programs are expected to begin in the near future, with the deadline for entries to be submit­ ted to the Grand Haven Jaycees by January 10. "We're expecting a record number of entries for the state program this year, " Bramer commented. "A much stronger effort is being made to have more of our clubs select a local Outstanding Young Farm­ er. We, naturally, are hopeful that our state win­ ner will be one of the four chosen for national hon­ ors this year." Bramer said that he was also happy to welcome Central Soya and its Master Mix Dealers throughout Michigan as co-sponsors of the program this year. "We appreciate the concern shown farmers by Cen­ tral Soya, " Bramer said, " and are happy to have this agriculturally-oriented company on our team." Village Council receives objections to rezoning A petition objecting to the rezoning of the three lots owned by James Erwin on South Main Street from residential to residential-agricultural was read Thursday at the meeting of the Nashville village counciL Erwin had asked the change be made at the Octo­ ber 24 council meeting and the hearing was set for Thursday, November 14. After the peution, signed by 30 residents, was read by President Harold Chris­ tiansen said the petition would be acted upon at the next meeting. The petition gave no reasons why the rezoning should not take place. It merely said xWe the undersigned object to rezoning of the James Er­ win property, located at 429 South Main Street, Nashville, consisting of lots 1, 2 and 3 of block 8, A. W. Phillips addition from residential to residen­ tial-agricultural property. Mr. Erwin was at the meeting, and pointed out the marshy land could not be used for building sites, nor could it ever be used for gardening. He only wants to graze a pony on the land. The lots lie next to Quaker Creek, and there are no buildings to the east or west. His own residence is to the south of lots in question. The village clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU. read a letter from Eugene C. Brown, of the Submerged Lands, Lands Division. Department of Conservation Lansing, which stated: " It has come to the attention that the street department is causing a fill to be made in the Tbomapplc River just west of the M-66 bridge on North Main Street. " While I understand it is small, at the present time, we feel that the local unit of government should set .the example for the citizenry at large. A fill at this point would interrupt the shore cur­ rents and water movement, as well as creating a pocket to catch floating debris, dead fish, etc. "We request immediate removal of the fill and the restoration of the bank to its original condition." The letter from Mt. Brown was dated November 4, and Thursday was the first time the council had met since the letter arrived. On Wednesday, No­ vember 13, Mr. Brown was in Nashville, but did not contact any of the village officials. Rather be talked to Police Chief Donald Langham. Brown is - reported to have stated that unless the village takes immediate action to make corrections the Water Resources Commission will be called in. In discussing the matter Thursday evening, at the council meeting, it was pointed out that the vil­ lage stopped putting any dirt in to fill the severe cut some two years ago, and that only a week or so ago the area was seeded. There are two logs which were placed near the water some yean ago to hold back the dirt. And at one time tne street department considered the possibility of putting a board across so that small children could fish from this point. But this was never done. The council is perfectly willing to do whatever is necessary to meet the request of the Department of Conserva­ tion, but they are not exactly sure, from Brown's letter what is expected of them. Hence, d’resident Christiansen said he would ask Mr. Brown to revisit Nashville and perhaps more explicit details could be given. In other business, Frank Scramlin was appointed to serve for one year as the local official legislature contact man tor the 1969 sessions; approval was grant­ ed the president and clerk to complete papers for the sale of village-owned property to Mr. and Mrs. Robert DeCamp; bids will sought for gasoline for village use, the bids to be opened at the December 12 meet­ ing. and the council voted to pay a portion of the expenses for the street commissioner, James Erwin, to attend a seminar on management, for which he received a scholarship througn the University of Mich­ igan. The council voted to pay the current bills,and voted $250 to the Maple Grove-Castleton Fite Board. Because of Thanksgiving, the next council meet­ ing will be held Tuesday, November 26. Office to be closed Because of the Thanksgiving Holiday, early copy is needed next week. Copy should be In by Saturday, November 23 or early Monday morn­ ing, November 25.

Charlton, met at the , park Wednesday afternoon of last week for a special ceremony. James H. Conner, the executor of the Charlton estate, gave a check for $60, 000 to Wil­ liam A. Cridler, Barry County Clerk, which will be used to further develop the park. Others present were Mrs. John B. Walton, chairman of the Charlton Park Commission; Jack O’Conner, chairman of the Barry County supervisors; Attn. Laur'ence E. Barnett who represented Mr. Charlton for more than 20 years in his various dealings and proj­ ects; Harvey Bersteeg, newly appointed Curator o f the Charlton Park Museum, and Franklin C. Beckwith, mayor of Hastings. The remarkable planning of Irving Charlton for the development of the park and museum, which he deeded to Barry County more than 30 years ago, was related by Attn. Barnett who worked with him f or many years in building up the "Charlton Park Proj­ ect.'' Charlton fully realized the potential of the nearly 300 acres of land along Thornapple River in Hastings Township. He knew It had historic charm as the campground of the Potawattomi Indians, and that its wooded areas, rolling hills and river beaches would attract constantly larger patronage from the public if properly maintained. Mr. Charlton devoted the last 30 years of his life to the filling of his "nat­ ural stone" museum which he himself oesigned and built, and to the providing of funds which would care for the further improvement of the park and museum for many years. Collecting the items began when Mr. Charlton was just a youth. Accordingly, he established a huge subdivision on Thornapple Lake known as Pleasant Shores plat, but separated from the park. He also recorded another plat known as the Irving Charlton Subdivision on M­ 70 Immediately east of the intersection of Charlton Park Road and Highway M-79. He had sold hundreds of lots in these two subdivisions at the time of his death with a substantial unpaid balance of approxi­ mately $44, 000. 00 still coming from such sales and many have been selling since that time and which will he furnishing steady income to the county for several years. The earlier settlement of the estate was delayed by the now-defeated claim of a distant and adopted cousin who had had no contact with Mr. Charlton for many years. It was her claim that because Mr. Charl­ ton aid not specifically mention in his Will 25 acres of undeveloped and swampy land adjoining the Pleas­ ant Shores Plat to the northwest and because he d i d not mention $18, 000. 00 that he had already given the County to be matched with $18, 000.00 of the county's money for the building of a needed addition to the museum, that such land and money were u n disposed of assets in his estate that should go to the claimant as an heir. Judge Philip H. Mitchell proper­ ly declined to act as Probate Judge because the Coun­ ty of Barry was the sole beneficiary of the Charlton will and Judge John W. Conlin of Ann Arbor was ap­ pointed to hear the contest of the wilL On July 28, 1965, after Mr. Barnett, Attn. Paul E. Siegel repre­ senting the Road Commission and Miss Edna Boddy, then Prosecuting Attorney representing the County of Barry, had argued the matter in various court appear­ ances, Judge John W. Conlin held that the will was sound arid that County of Barry was the only benefici­ ary and that the opposing claim was without merit. Represented by a Lansing attorney who had taken the case on a contingent basis, an appeal was taken from Probate Court to the Circuit Court and Judge Archie McDonald declined to act because the County of Bar­ ry was involved and the Honorable Robert W. McIn­ tyre of the Hillsdale Circuit held two sessions of court and the attorneys again presented their arguments and lengthy briefs traveling to Hillsdale for the last hear­ ing. Judge Robert W. McIntyre filed his opinion em­ phasizing the holdings of the Probate Judge in declar­ ing that Barry County was the only beneficiary under the will. The persistant claimant then appealed the case to the Michigan Court of Appeals and again the record and many briefs had to be prepared anew and argued at Grana Rapids before the Court of Appeals. The three judges had no hesitation in confirming the judgment of the Probate and Circuit Judges who had heard the case before them and held that the claim of the cousin was without merit. In a final attempt to force the County of Barry into a settlement the matter was appealed to the Supreme Court and once again the attorneys had to go through the routine of proving that a will which five competent judges had declared to be good, was all that iwbould be. On May 23, 1968 the Supreme Court dismissed the ap­ peal and put an end to the unjustified and delaying conduct of the heir. Meanwhile more than $77,000.00 bad accumula­ ted in the bank account and the attorney for the E x ecutor filed a petition asking that the court permit the estate to turn over a large portion of the money to obtain its Curator and go ahead with contemplated development. Judge Mitchell who has resumed juris­ diction of the case after the elimination of any al­ leged contest, granted the petition of the Executor ■’ and provided for the payment of $60, 000. 00 and also authorized the Executor to begin the improvement and platting of the swampy 25 acres so as to provide further lots to add to the income which Irving Charl­ ton had provided to help his county of Barry perpetu­ ate and improve the public recreation area he had given to Barry County. Plans call for the construction of "Charlton Park Village, " with its quaint and authentic buildings, shops and church together with the actual operation of Jiese old-time shops and trades, will bring thou­ sands of visitors to Barry County and will make the vision of Irving D. Charlton come true.

Two casts are busy with preparations for these presentations. The curtain time is set for 8:00 p. m. and the play is being directed by Mrs. Greta Finter. "Tattletale" is a three-act comedy portraying sev­ en male characters, nine female and several extras. The story begins so very innocently. Patty just has to have a typewriter to type the script of her novel and Tod agrees to borrow the new one from the school office which they planned to take right back. Things don’t work out that easily, however, and a detective was soon investigating the theft of the typewriter. But someone accidently sat on the typewriter and Patty will have to buy a new one. It was then she thought of selling her novel, but it is her diary that was delivered to the newspaper office instead, and this shakes up the town like a major explosion. For Patty tells "all. ” Things do work out, though, and the story has a happy ending. Two casts are being used, but a few students will be on stage for both presentations. Included in the casts are Debbie Dunham, Judy Rasey, LeRoy Nel­ son, Janet Dennis, Kermit Douse, Kathy Fox, Steve Tefft, Jim Shelton, Bob Misener, Marsha Ackett, Debbie Vliek, Chris Boughton, Peggy Hummell, Bar­ bara Snow, Dale Fisher, Carol Eldred, Eddie Purchis, Durwood Steward, Dale Hose, Marie Daniels, Vir­ ginia Babcock, Ruth Hulsebos.

Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency AFFILIATE MEMBER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Do not follow the trend Many events of the last six months are living ex­ amples for our younger generation to learn to a c cept the virtues of courage, endurance, preserva­ tion and not to disregard the so-called losers by the uninformed public opinion polls. An individual's suc­ cess lies in his endurance and defending himself to the last ditch with honor and conviction. Today so many of the middle-aged individuals and younger generation give up too easily and consider it unwise to buck the trend. In many cases, people will change their political beliefs because they feel they must stick with the winners. Therefore, during the Nazi period we had many French and Chinese traitors col­ laborating with the enemies. Recently our Detroit Tigers won the World Series. According to the public poll, the Tigers had no chance at alL In our recent elections with tight ra­ ces in all levels of offices, it was gratifying to learn both the Republican and Democratic candidates tried their best refusing to concede or give up during the very early stage. To see the heart transplant patient LETTERS TO THE EDITOR November 18, 1968 Mr. John Boughton Nashville-News 110 Maple Street Nashville, Michigan Dear John: I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunities you and others in your organi­ zation have given me to teach the citizens of this District -not only during the campaign but through­ out my service in Congress. As you know, the job of a Congressman to a ma­ jor degree is communicating--making our political world understandable. Without your whole-hearted assistance and cooperation, it would be impossible to maintain an avenue of communication between myself and the people 1 represent. Again, my thank, and I look forward to contin­ uing the fine relationship we have enjoyed in the past. Best personal regards, Sincerely, Garry Brown Improvements planned for Charlton Park According to iniormation from the Barry County Parks and Museum Commission a long list of im provements are to be made at the Charlton Park Museum. Included will be the installation of heating, air conditioning and humidification equipment, insu­ lation of the roof, restrooms within the building, and a complete rewiring of the building. All otthe improvements will greatly help preserve the histor­ ic artifacts stored and on display, and will permit work to continue throughout the year. An exter­ minator will also rid the museum of the beetles which have already extensively damaged many of the historical items during the time the building was closed. and medical doctor not giving up though failures have occurred add to the evidence. Thinking backon our American Revolution, we see it was not a par­ ticularly easy one as well as our Civil War. I am deeply convinced that this principle should also be applied in our academic pursuits and free en­ terprise as well as an individual's professional career. All greater successes must come through hard work, endurance, and sw.eat and blood. In many cases, the greater sacrifice results in the greater achievement. The more obstacles one is able to overcome, the more lasting success one is able to obtain, individ­ uals to never die involuntarily. In many cases, we human beings are too tired to live and have suffered too much pain; we voluntarily give up our lives. I sincerely hope this is a good lesson for one to learn. Do not try to follow the trend without individ­ uality, creativeness, and self-preservation, and will to win.

Born in Sunfield township November 21, 1876, she moved with her parents, Mt. and Mrs. James Childs, to the farm on Irish Street when she was six years old. Miss Childs never married, but stay­ ed on the farm to look after her parents until they died. She also helped in raising her nieces and nephews. While living on the farm she looked after cows, had her own herd of sheep and was a beekeeper. For many years she was a correspondent for the Nash­ ville News and her natural wit and humor concern­ ing her neighbors along Irish Street will long b e remembered. Approximately 15 years ago she suffered a stroke, and after recovering from that she had the misfor­ tune to fall and break her hip. She has lived in convalescent homes and at the Eaton County Medi­ cal Facility since that time, and about a year ago was taken to her present home on Amity Street. During her younger years Miss Childs was active in the work of a Holiness Church in Nashville which later became affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene. Her main interest was in missionary work. Miss Childs was the fourth in a family of nine children. The American Legion Post in Vermont­ ville, the Childs-Demaray Post, was named in hon­ or of her youngest brother, Rufus, who served in the Army in World War I, and Charles Demaray of the United States Navy in the same war. Rufus died at Fort Custer near Battle Creek during the flu epi­ demic of 1918, and Charles died of the same drsease two weeks later in a Chicago naval base. Miss Childs has a remarkable memory for one her age, and can recite poetry and bible passages learned many years ago. Her hearing and eyesight have failed, but she still enjoys the frequent visits of her nieces and nephews as well as the friends she has made over the long years. Church News Photo bv Gladys Richardson One of her visitors is John Hokanson ot Vermont­ ville. He served in the hospital at Fort Custer and looked after her brother Rufus during his last ill­ ness. A number of relatives and friends planned to vis­ it Miss Childs Thursday to remind her of her birth­ day and wish her many happy returns of the day.

Christmas cards need 6c stamps The Post Office Department has advised persons sending Christmas cards that all cards weighing one ounce or less must carry six cents postage. In previous years, unsealed cards without a writ­ ten message (only the signature of the sender) would be sent one cent less than first class postage. These would be delivered as third class mail, without the provision for forwarding or return if undeliverable. The postage rate legislation which went into ef­ fect last January raised the single rate third class postage to six cents for the first two ounces. Since virtually all greeting cards weigh less than an ounce, the first class and third class rates are, in effect, the same. Thus, the Post Office notes, all greeting cards bearing six cents postage which are undeliverable as addressed shall be forwarded if a new address is available. The department stressed the importance of a re­ turn address to assure that undeliverable cards will be returned. This allows mailers to keep their a d dress lists up to date.

Bag �New feature begins In this week's issue A new feature is being presented in this week’s issue of the Maple Valley News. This new feature is a column written by Hugh W. Brenneman o n health and other subjects commonly related to full­ er living. The first acticle is on the subject of O­ besity. Obesity (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) The problem ot obesity affects 25% of our popula­ tion. Everybody has an intake and outgo of energy— but the obese person has developed an excessive in­ take in daily energy and is not spending as much en­ ergy as he should in order to keep his balance of in­ take and outgo at a level. There are other factors which contribute to weight gain in addition to excessive daily energy intake-s'uch factors as a decrease in the amount of physical activity. Individuals tend to enjoy food more and exercise less when they get older, and that puts them on a positive energy balance. Hugh Brenneman can be found in The Internation­ al Who's Who in Public Relations, the World Who's Who in Commerce and Industry, the Who's Who in the Midwest, and the Dictionary of International Biography. For almost a quarter of a century, he has served the Michigan State Medical Society as its PR coun­ sel and Executive Director. As the man whose "definition" of a bona fide pro­ fession has been accepted as the standard among professionals and educators, it follow logically that Hugh was the prime stemwinder in organizing both the American and Michigan Associations of Profes­ sions, serving as president of the former and execu­ tive director of the latter. Active in radio prior to World War n he has re­ turned to the air as the producer and commentator of a TV program for the past seven years and a col­ umnist for Michigan Medicine, the Medical Journ­ al of Michigan. Spin the wheel of medical, health, educational and civic organizations wherever it stops, Hugh has probably been its PR consultant at one time or another. He has been named Citizen of the Year, cited often for distinguished service as an outstanding speaker. He also has several awards from his naval lieutenant days, and four varsity ath­ letic letters from college. He still jogs, bowls, golfs and rides. But in his more contemplative mo­ ments, he relaxes in his own sauna or plays his trombone and piano. Psychological factors associated with overeating are very important in the development of many types of obesity. There are individuals who will re­ son to eating as a means of quelching their anxiety, their depression, their tension--a sort of reactive­ type of obesity because these individuals react to tneir tensions by overeating. Some people find a special gratification in food that they may be un­ able to find in other things in life. r There are, also, people who are very much con­ cerned and centered in their obesity, who have been obese for all their lives, and where their family en­ vironments have contributed very much to their be­ coming obese. In these individuals, obesity is a very major problem because it is very tightly con­ nected with their psychological make-up. 'They are usually the ones who will fail to follow any weight­ reduction diet. On the other hand, those individuals who have become obese in adult life, are the ones who will usually benefit from weight reduction program. The fust step in weight reduction is to have a physical evaluatidh by a physician to see whether there are glandular problems, such as Cushings' dis­ ease or hypo-thyroidism, etc. The individual then often goes to a phychiatrist to determine whether he or she will benefit from the weight reduction program. If the psychiatrist says that the individual will benefit from a psychi­ New dump hours Starting November 1st. there will be a change in the dump hours for the village. The dump will be open from 4:00 to 6^00 pm on Wednesday and from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Satur­ days. Into your hair we weave a bit of holiday dazzle The most Much enthusiasm was apparent Wednesday eve­ ning as a group of committees met for the regular meeting of the NashviUe Centennial Committee. George Vogt js serving as chairman of this com­ mittee and Mri, Nelson Brumm is the secretary. Meet­ ings have been held approximately every month. Some groups are organized and others are being formed There are Brothers of the Brush clubs and Centennial BeUes and others. Some clever "gimmicks" are being considered for promotion of the Centennial, Some wooden dimes wiU be circulated shortly by merchants and these may be used as money in the stores and will help promote the celebration. The NashviUe Car Wash has been bought by Ron­ ald Graham, weU known in the NashvUle area. Mr. Graham has been seen the past few summers parked on Main Street with his pickup with produce to sell, and is hoping to see his friends at the Car Wash which wUl be open daUy as in the past.

Of prime importance is the weight reduction diet, a colorie-restricted diet. The treatment of obesity starts with a re-establishment of an adequate ener­ gy balance. To make a person lose weight he must establish a negative energy balance by reducing the energy intake and increasing the energy expen­ diture. U an individual has an intake of energy (an intake of calories) below those that he requires to maintain his weight, he will out of necessity have to use his own energy stores for keeping up his daily energy necessities and he will therefore lose weight. Another important factor; If an individual who is obese happens to increase his energy expenditure by increasing exercise of physical activity, he will al­ so contribute to establishing a negative energy bal­ ance and thereby lose weight. Physical fitness pro­ grams of institutions such as the YMCA-YWCA are important because these offer the opportunity of spending more calories and the net Balance will be a negative energy balance. Appetite suppressant and weight reduction pills have little value in a weight reduction program, and there are inherent dangers in the use of such drugs. Certainly they can be only temporarily ef­ fective. They dp not cause a long-term suppression of appetite. They seem to be most effective to in­ dividuals of normal weight who really don't need to take them. Too, the addition of certain hor-mones and other medications to these drugs increas­ es the danger. Individuals may become addicted to weight reduction or appetite depressant pills, and then they may need them whether they receive any benefit or not. Some of the drugs used have been thyroid and dig­ italis; also diuretics, sometimes called "water pills" have been used. AU these latter result in is a loss of water. In the case of thyroid, in addition to the loss of water, the drug produces a loss of muscle mass but not so much a loss of fat. An increase in fat is what defines obesity so the use of these drugs wUl not be of any great benefit in the treatment of obesity.

Santa will arrive in Nashville on Saturday afternoon December 7 th. A Big Parade will be held on M a in Street to herald his arrival. A Special Santa's Headquarters will be prepared in the Maple Valley Floral Shop on Main Street. Santa will visit with his friends there and will have a bag of treats for them. According to Max Kelley, chairman for the Nash­ ville Christmas committee, Santa will visit N a s h ville again on Saturday, December 14th and on Sat­ urday, December 21st. On these two Saturdays a drawing will be held in Central Park. Six turkeys will be given free, three each Saturday. Persons are asked to register in all participating stores for these drawings; however, they must be present to win the turkeys. Santa's arrival*ih Vermontville will take place on Saturday afternoon, December 21st. He will ar­ rive by fire truck and will visit with his friends in the Fire Bam at 2:00 p, m. Christmas decorations are in place along the Main Street and the tree in Central Park has been decora­ ted. New street decorations have been purchased by the Chamber of Commerce during the last few years, and this year new poles have been installed to facil­ itate the hanging of these decorations. Christmas decorations are also being placed along the Main Street in Vermontville and the various stores are dec­ orated also. Council ponders the garbage collection problem The Village Council discussed the garbage con­ tract at the last council meeting. Originally the company from Charlotte that picks up the garbage picked up two times a wekk. They have now gone to a once-a-week pick-up but they are not happy because they get twice as much garbage per pick­ up as they dii They would also like the garbage to be put at the curb. The members of the council also discussed the fact that a Mr. Ellis from Charlotte is interested in starting a plating company somewhere in the area and has indicated that he might be interested in Nashville. He would need a 30 thousand square foot cement block building for his operation. The council discussed the disposal of the chromic acid waste that is left after the plating process is com­ pleted. Apparently our sewage disposal system would not be adequate to take care of such waste. There was some concern among the council memben over the condition of the theater building. Many of the members believe the building is a dan­ ger and should either be put in repair or taken down. A letter will be written to the owner of the build­ ing so staring. President Christiansen asked what the council thought of providing a sinking fund for water and sewage and raising taxes a mill to provide for this. Mrs. Skedgell said that people on the state level have told her that our water and sewage rates are tte lowest in the state and that they should be twice what they are. They think that if the fates were raised to compare with other communities in the state we would be able to provide for additional water and sewage. ___________ NUMBER 28 Community plans for gala Centennial celebration It looks now as though a large number of N a s h ville male residents are going to have some pretty good looking beards, sideburns and mustaches by the time the Centennial celebration rolls around next June. But a few weeks back they were a pretty sick looking group of individuals who had either lost their razors or the stores were entirely out of blades. These men can now show their registration cards as Brothers of the Brush club, or gome other such group. Then there are the Smoothies who have no beards, and the women of the community are or­ ganizing various Bell clubs and will promote wear­ ing old fashioned clothes at the celebration. The Centennial celebration, being sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, with the help of all or­ ganizations in the village, will be observed in a three-day celebration on June 26, 27 and 28. Var­ ious groups are responsible for programs both after­ noons and evenings of the big event, and there will be everything from sky diving, tractor pulling, a big parade, a balloon ascension, ox roast, the judg­ ing of beards, dances, special programs from a stage to oe erected on Maple Street in front of the Maple Valley News office, an art show, numerous displays in the store windows, along with a big display of vehicles and even steam engines, just to mention a few. Rem Wall and his popular group of musicians from Kalamazoo will put on a two-hour program, concession stands will line Main Street, and there will be pony rides. dent is George H. Vogt, while serving as vice presi­ dent is Harry Johnson; secretary, Mrs.Geneva Brumm and treasurer, Adolph Douse. Heading up the Novelties committee is Nelson Brumm, and he has already had to reorder such ar­ ticles as derbies, neckties, sleeve bands and round garters. Within the next few days the merchants will be starting a "wooden dimes* stunt, and on occasion will pass out these wooden dimes as change. They* are marked with the centennial dates, and will be redeemable for actual cash at other participating stores, or by the Centennial committee. A history of events in book form is being drawn up, and there are also to be centennial plates, which will be ideal souvenirs. Another highlight of the celebration will be burying of a capsule, in which anyone is invited to put in a few pertinent facts of himself. There will be a small charge for this, and when the capsule or vault is burieo there will be a stipulation tnat it is not to be dug up for 100 years. The merchants are going to be asked to "fix up and paint up" their store fronts for the celebra­ tion, and many have already indicated they would bejjlad to cooperate. The Centennial committee will not be meeting during December. The next session will be held Wednesday, January 15, at 7 p. m. in the Castleton township hall on Main Street.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Now that Thanksgiving is over we can start de­ voting all of our time to getting ready for the big­ gies that are coming up. I mean Christmas and New Years. Christmas isn't so difficult to contend with b e cause we have the kids to help us. But I have to stan right now getting used to watching all of those football games on New Years. Nashville seems to be getting ready for Christ­ mas. The decorations are up on Main Street and they look good. The Chamber of Commerce has seen to it that we have new poles so that trucks will not hit the decking and pull it down. The stores in town are all decorated for the jolly season and things look quite Christmasey. In addi­ tion to that, Santa's Mailbox has been put back up in the park and his friends can mail their letters to him there. The letters will appear in the News. Vic Higdon has moved his store from Makers into the building that used to be occupied by the Beedle Insurance office. Loren Dingman has moved the Maple Valiev Floral Company into the building that used to be the Teener and he is selling Christ­ mas trees in the old Munro Store. Nicholas Appliance has a new line of gift items just in time for the Christmas season. We wish success to Ron Graham in his new ven­ ture at the Car Wash in Nashville. Things are changing around the town. That's good. "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P.

The increase of productivity was due to the division of labor The freedom of the labor movement was due to the des­ truction of the slave system. The creation of the governmental structurethat was to protect the in­ dividual's freedom and liberty resulted in the evil of bureaucracy. The government soldiers were supposed to defend their people, from outside invaders; now in many countries the national soldiers are shooting at their own people. The public official is supposed to be the public servant; now has become the master of the mass of slaves. Tax collectors have become the nightmare of common citizens. Eavesdropping tech­ niques apply to all levels of the bureaucratic sys­ tem. According to the news media, the postal in­ spectors look into female restrooms. Internal Reven­ ue agents in metropolitan areas are conducting mass conspiracy. Union leaders are virtually trying to .seek lifetime employment. Bid industries are con­ tinuously being embarrassed and abused by the gov­ ernment's order to roll back their prices. Regardless it is the city or state capitol, all the buildings are designed like a monstrous federal pen­ itentiary. Internal auditing systems are getting so complicated that no individual can make any d e cisions without seeking numerous agencies. Decis­ ions have to be made by committee meetings. Any individuals with leadersnip or initiative are consid­ ered as little Caesars or simply as dictators.

Because of the bureaucrats' lack of education to team how to read an individ­ ual' name, they will even use the number system to control their obedient slaves. Human beings are treated as animals in the cage. Society has become a public- controlled zoo.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I am very disturbed with actions of the great ma jorfty of American calendar .makers, teachers, jour­ nalists, storytellers and the public in general over their lack of justice in selecting the proper symbol of our great American Thanksgi.ing holiday. Throughout our school all we see are posters o f turkeys, big and small, with purple, green and yel­ low feathers and a big red hunk of skin hanging over their beaks. In grade school the teachers show their pupils how to make a turkey with a potato, toothpicks and feathers. America has been grossly prejudice in ig­ noring its most "forgotten American, " the duck, one of the most beautiful, peaceful birds known to man. I would like to point out that the wild turkey is one of the world’s toughest birds, second only to the ex­ tinct Moa of New Zealand. There appeared last week in the State Journal an article on Michigan's wild turkey flock which quoted a hunter saying the meat was ' too tough to make gravy. " Certainly I can see that the turkey is a majestic creature, size-wise. At the head of the table often pictured on calendars we see the Thanksgiving tur­ key. Let me tell you a story about it. As we all know, the pilgrim's musket was a very weak weapon. It would have been impossible to shoot a turkey in normal health, but the turkey we see pictured was fifty yean old and dying of rneumatism. For that reason there was but one turkey at that fitst Thanks­ giving! The bulk of the meal was composed of our little friend, the duck. The Indians had allowed the Pilgrims to cook that gobbler as a joke. "Upon cut­ ting into it, however, they found the turkey so tough and dry that instead of eating it, they used its skin as a handiwipe when John Alden spilled his milk. Why this injustice, you ask? Since the beginning of our country, we have had a lack of heroes to look up to, so we have used the turkey to cover up the story of the Pilgrims mass slaughter of ducks. I feel that I must uncover this story lest the duck fade into the shadows of extinct­ ion when without it to help our founding father sur­ vive through the winter, many of us would not be here today. The duck has a trusting, unsuspectful nature, so the Pilgrims found it easy to bait them by throwing popcorn upon the water, and several minutes later as the ducks were feeding within a stone's throw, jump Qom the bushes and none them. As I have shown you, we owe a great deal to our duck. Then why is Johnny Rodriguez's frozen food case filled with turkeys’Why aren't there any Thanksgiving greeting cards with ducks on them? Why did my little brother bring home a potato tur­ key instead of a potato duck? Will we let our friend down? Let us unite, my friends, and join the movement to boycott our enemy, Mr. Gobblehead. Harry Hammond The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, December 5, 196b STUDENT MATURITY Campus demonstrators make the news. But the ma­ jority of students, even those who want more aca­ demic freedom, would rather have orderly change, believes Dr. Milton B. Dickerson, Michigan State Un­ iversity vice president for student affairs. He is crit­ ical of media which concentrate on student unrest and seldom note the accomplishments of joint student/university committees. Such committees at MSU, Dickerson notes, help­ ed solve many student-administration problems. They have developed effective channels of com­ munication and provided the means for student rep­ resentation in university policy-making. An academic freedom report is the ’T>lueprint" which spells out the process for altering rules and regulations at MSU. It was developed in 1966,shortly after "the Berkeley incident, " but long before stu­ dent protests became prevalent, Dickeaon points out. Requested by MSU president John A. Hannah, the freedom report was hammered out by eight subcom­ mittees working in four general areas: academic rights; student records; "due process" in disciplinary problems; student publications. Two sub-commit­ tees, one composed of faculty members and one from student ranks, worked separately in each area. Each subcommittee then met with its counterpart to resolve differences and draw up final recommenda­ tions. The complete report was approved by the Board of Trustees in March, 1967. Dickerson believes the freedom report somewhat parallels the US Constitution and allows for a dem­ ocratic process of change. For example, he cites former dress regulations imposed by the univenity during mealtimes. Student dissatisfaction arose over requirements for certain apparel when eating in dormatories. The policy was Drought before ASMSU, the student governing body, with the recommenda­ tion that each unit set its own regulations. The rec­ ommendation was also approved by the Faculty Com­ mittee on Student Affain and was sent to Dickerson for administrative action. The recommended policy was adopted. If the student group and faculty committee cannot agree on proposed changed, they break into subcom­ mittees to "work things out;' Dickerson states. He is quick to point out that this does not cause insur­ mountable problems. " Students are much more ma­ ture, more conservative and realistic than we are often led to believe, " he says. Another channel for orderly protest was establish­ ed with the Office of Ombudsman. He is responsi­ ble only to the univenity president. Students who have individual complaints, feel they are caught in univenity "red tape", question procedures or 'Just have problems, " find the ombudsman receptive and willing to investigate. Because of his freeoom from "the system, " Dickerson noses, the ombudsman can cut across traditional lines of authority to get answen for the student. He is counselor, advocate, and judge. He will support a sutdent who has been justly wronged but will quickly withdraw if be finds the student has fabricated his story. MSU was the fint univenity in the US to establish an ombudsman and one of the fint to develop an academic freedom report. Some 20 univenities now have ombudsmen and "thousands of copies" of the freedom report have been sent to colleges and uni­ venities across the country, Dickenon says. Another step towards active student participation in univenity policy-making was taken last year when the by-laws of the Faculty Committee on Stu­ dent Affain was amended to include student repre­ sentation. This move is outside the design of the freedom report but is another step in giving students more voice in univenity affain, Dickenon contends. Incidems occur in spite of such programs. Last June, a demonstration erupted over arrests for vio­ lation of drug laws. Dickenon notes that "only a few of those arrested were students, " and believes that some students will always disregard the law. He feels that leaden of student militant groups use emotional appeals to whip students into active support of "causes." "I think that they (militant leaden) subconscious­ ly want to build a better atmosphere for learning.. but they want to do it by tearing down everything as it now exists... believing that something good is bound to develop from the ruins. I just can't sub­ scribe to that theory." These types of programs undermine tactics used by activists and provide an orderly procedure to change rules and regulations. Rule by consent is a.ways best, Dickenon be­ lieves. "Bit by bit we're moving towards involving the student into areas formerly within only faculty and administrative jurisdiction, " he concludes. Dogs need protection Willard L. Mikesell, Prosecuting Attorney tot Eaton County, has reminded dog ownen that they are required to have rabies vaccinations for their dogs before purchasing their dog licenses . The fin­ al date for renewing the license is March 1, 1968. To assist dog ownen and to help protect your children, veterinarians of the Eaton County area will hold a Rabies Vaccination Clinic at a reduced fee, from December 2nd through December 7th and from December 9th through December 14th, 1968. �Club News Dominic Morawski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Morawski (Dale Ann Priddy) returned home from Leila Post Hospital, Battle Creek, Saturday, where he had surgery on his arm.

The score was 73-33. Walt Shaw led the Maple Valley squad on eight points. Although Maple Valley stayed close to Lakewood through the first half. Lakewood pulled well into the lead in the final two quarters. Lakewood also won the reserve game. The Post Office Department has advised persons sending Christmas cards that all cards .weighing one ounce or less must carry six cents postage. In previous years, unsealed cards without a writ­ ten message (only the signature of the sender) would be sent one cent less than first class postage. These would be delivered as third class marl, without the provision for forwarding or return if undeliverable. The postage rate legislation which went into ef­ fect last January raised the single rate third class postage to six cents for the first two ounces. Since virtually all greeting cards weigh less than an ounce, the fust class and third class rates are, in effect, the same. Thus, the Post Office notes, all greeting cards bearing six cents postage which are undeliverable as addressed shall be forwarded if a new address is available. The department stressed the importance of a re­ turn address to assure that undeliverable cards will be returned. This allows mailers to keep their a d dress lists up to date. Local art to be exhibited Once again this year, art work and hobbies and crafts of many local residents will be on exhibit and for sale at the News office in Nashville, Last year, for the first time, a display was set up of this local talent and more than 15 persons took pan and had work on exhibit. Those who are interested in taking part this year are asked to contact Mrs. John Boughton at the News office or Mrs. Gerald Shoup. All work should be orig­ inal (no kits or number work accepted) and all work should be for sale. This project is repeated in an attempt to show the talents of the local residents and to perhaps encour­ age others to become involved in these hobbies. It is expected that art objects will be on display from now until Christmas.

During the morning worship hour at 9:45 a. m. the Rev. E. F. Rhoades dedicated a portion of his talk to Mrs. Whitmore. From 10:45 to 12 noon there was a coffee hour for the honored guest. Mrs. Whitmore now resides at 7588 Lawrence High­ way, southeast of Nashville. Back in 1921 she and her husband, the late Levi Otis Whitmore, moved into the neighborhood of the Maple Grove Church, and for the next 47 years she was very active in the work of the church. She taught a Sunday School class for many years, was secretary of the Sunday school, was a steward in the church, and was a member of the Ladies Aid Society. The former Rilla Archer was bom in Assyria Town­ ship in June, 1889, to Oscar and Eucebia Archer. A­ bout two years later her parents moved into Maple Grove Township just east of McCartney Corners, and she attended the Quailtrap SchooL Completing the eighth grade there she attended Nashville High SchooL Often she rode her pony to high school In recalling those days, Mrs. Whitmore said that on two occasions her pony, "Captain" stopped abruptly and she was unceremoniously dumped off, once when her horse was frightened by a pile of white ash­ es which had been put into the street in Nashville, and naother time when he dumped her as he became startled by a pile of trees which had been cut dow n along a wooded area. This time she landed in a mud puddle, and had to go back home for a c o m plete change of clothing before going to schooL When she was about 10 years old she recalls reach­ ing across a wooden rack which her father had built over a spring to hang up a dipper after she got a drink of water, missed the hook, and tumbled into the spring. Her plight was discovered by a neigh­ bor woman, Mrs. Cynthia Andrews, who was at the Archer home helping feed threshers. Mrs. Andrews went to the back door to throw out the dishwater, and saw Rilla's feet sticking up out of the spring. Following this incident, her father put in a well right away. 'After attending school two years in Nash­ ville, Miss Archer enrolled in Argubrignt's Business School in Battle Creek, and worked about two years for the Royal Fireless Cooker Company as secretary in that city. It was here she met Levi Whitmore. They were married March 23, 1910, in Assyria Township. For the next eleven years the couple liv­ ed on a farm in Pennfield Township where they raised cows and peddled milk in Battle Creek, door to door. In order to have the milk ready for the ear­ ly morning delivery, the Whitmores had to arise at two a. m. The Whitmores moved into the McKelvey D is trict in Maple Grove in 1921. Here Mrs. Whitmore served on the school board during the time the dis­ trict consolidated with Nashville. Mr. Whitmore suffered a stroke about 1951, and died in 1959. Following his death Mrs. Whitmore took care of old people in Woodland, Battle Creek and Maple Grove. em right All NIP OL3-8741 NASHVILLE TARTEP • CALI SUPPLEMENT CITIZENS ELEVATORS The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

The continuing need for additional blood donors especially through the coming holiday sea­ son was emphasized at the meeting of the Lansing Regional Red Cross Blood Program Committee held in Lansing on Thursday, November 14. All chap­ ters were urged to make a special effort to recruit extra donors for the Bloodmobile visits scheduled from now until the first of the year. The need for blood during holiday seasons increases, but donors tend to slack off on their donations dufing holiday The 20th anniversary of the Red Cross Blood Pro­ gram was observed at the regional meeting. The blood program, as it exists today, was established in 1948 following World War IL The Lansing Re­ gional Blood Center began its operation on Decem­ ber 20, 1948. At that time there were five counties participating with Barry County as one of the origin­ al five. Richard Fluke, Chairman Barry Countv Red Cross Blood Program, reported that Barry County has met its quota for the past year and urged all donors to continue their support of the Barry County Red Cross Blood Program. All citizens of the County are urged to leave their blood at the Bloodmobile, not on the highway. Hold Christmas party The Nashville Lions Club held its annual Christ­ mas party on Monday, December 2 at the Masonic Temple. It was Ladies night and eighteen couples attended. After dinner, Elmer Jarvie, program chairman, introduced Mr. Lawrence West who gave a lecture with slides on ancient symbols and their meanings. Mr. West also showed an obelisk he had made, which had taken three years to make all the mark­ ings in the cast; John Simon, president, dismissed everyone with " Have a Merry Christmas. " Modem sexual revolution (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) Civilization is said to be in a renaissance. It is a scientific, technicological, cultural, philosophi­ cal and sexual rebirth. But the last, the sexual rev­ olution, is the one talked about most. There has been waxing and waning of acceptance of the pri­ vate sexualoehavior throughout recorded history. In all probability we're in one of the upswing times. Information available in statistic* on venereal disease rates and illegitimacy rates show that in the last 15 years things are occurring in a younger and younger population. Today about half of all illegit­ imate births are to teen-aged girl*. This suggests that people in that age group are sexually active which may be a change from previous years. Heterosexual activities as far as sexual inter­ course is concerned is proving to be entirely out of line for the young teenaged girL An obstetrician told me he had seen many girl* who are 13 to 15 years old when they are pregnant and didn't want to be, or occasionally when they had gonorrhea. He said he hat yet to see one under the age of 16 that went into the sexual relationship that actually en­ joyed it. He added that he sees those that have had trouble and not a hypthetically large number of an older group of girl* 18-19 or in their 20* who may be enjoying this aspect of their relationship and not getting into trouble. He commented and his fellow physician* seem to agree, that girls aged 14 to 15 almost consistently get into trouble when they par­ ticipate in sexual activity. They do not do it be­ cause they love someone and teel that this is a nor­ mal expression of their love. Rather they are disturb­ ed and trying to solve some problem by doing it. It is being done for something other than what it pro­ vides per'te. They do it to get even with a parent that’* been over-controlling... to get out of the home... to nail a boy down... to get married. The incidence of unfavorable consequence is much higher in the younger age group for they have not had the advantage of education. As things are in our culture right now the typical 13 and 14 year old girl does not have enough education to give her a very fair guarantee against pregnancy, disease, exploitation and so forth. For this as well as other reason* many authorities believe children should first begin their formal ed­ ucation on sexual matters at a very early age. A­ mong these are very knowledgeable doctors who be­ lieve a child can't be too young to begin learning about the human body and its various function*. There might be questions about methodology but the ancient delusion that it's good for children to be ignorant about something, because this will improve their ability to cope with the problems they have to face is tragic. Questions about biological situation* can be ans­ wered in term* the children can understand. Some introduction to reproduction as a subject can be done as early as kindergarten, and certainly a very formal explanation of human biology, of reproduc­ tion can come along by 4th and 5th or 6 grade* on a rather detailed basis. These children are not too young to understand. Is our society ready for this? The feeling I get when I talk to groups is they are not only ready but they are eager for sex education and family life ed­ ucation to be taught. This is grass roots people, both the upper crust of univenity profeston, lawyen, big businessmen, and the farmen and their wives, shopkeepen, the butcher and baker. I have the feeling that the major concern of the parents is that the teaching be done right. They want information to be accurate, they want it to be sound. Another inter­ esting concern of thein was expressed like this: "Yes, I want my children to have this information but I don't want to have to do the educating. It's too embarrasing."

Bean reminded dairymen not enrolled in a produc­ tion testing program that fall is a good time to be­ " Dairymen have more time in the fall and winter to start a record- keeping program that will give them information they need to build a more profit­ able dairy herd, " the agent Explained.

It was a double tragedy for the Huskey family which bad lived in Nashville the past 2 1/2 yean. Mrs. Sue Huskey, wife of Albert, who is known as "L RT had gone to the Charlotte hospital to pick up their two youngest children, Jackie R.. a year-old daughter, and Michelle, age four months, who had been hospitalized with pneumonia. Mr. Huskey works night at the Olds Automobile plant in Lansing and was asleep in the trailer when the fire broke out. He grabbed up Amanda, and a­ nother daughter, Litachya, 3, and ran next door to the Willard Mosher residence. Mr. Huskey and A­ manda were taken to the Charlotte hospital in the swibalance operated by the Nashville Fire Depart- Huskey suffered second degree burns on his back and neck, and a cut left foot. Amanda's hair was badly singed, she had second degree burns on her right arm and leg and a cut and burned left hand. Litachya was not injured. The cause of the fire, according to Fire Chief Forrest Babcock, is not known, and is still under in­ vestigation. The interior of the mobile home was completely demolished. The Huskeys have another child, Billy Eugene, 5, who was in kindergarten when the fire broke out. Mrs. Huskey who was bringing the two younger children home from the hospital, had stopped at the home of her mother, Mrs. Hazel Huskey in Char­ lotte, when she received the call her husband and Amanda bad been taken to the hospital. Presently Mrs. Huskey, Billy,. Jackie and Michelle are staying with the Buford Huskeys near Nashville. Litachya is staying with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Ma. Richard Trowbridge near Woodland.

When I first started the darn thing I expected it to turn out a nice jet black, but i t seems to be coming off kinda gray. I just don't know how that comes about. The town looks about as good as it has ever looked. The Christmas lights and decorations are the best I have ever seen them. The stores are all decorated up and everything seems fine. My sweet little wife and I have not yet had our an­ nual Christmas Tree fight. The last couple of yean the spirit has gone out of the old Christmas Tree Fight anyway. I have lost so many yean in a row that I no longer have the will to win. 1 think I'll just ac­ cept it this year. Any time they warn to put the tree up I’m ready. Already I am trying to get in shape for the big New Yean day football watch. It takes a bit of train­ ing to be able to sit all day in front of the old idiot box and watch game after game after game. I’ve tried to get in shape but I always go to sleep about at halftime. Our News office has been turned into an art gallery for the Christmas season. Amy has asked local peorle involved in art to show their things at the office, think they are all for sale too. Many of them would made nice Christmas gifts.

Chien Publishing Agency Recently, I visited a Canadian veteran news re­ porter from the Far East who has stayed in Red China for the last 18 years. He mentioned some unbelievable facts about the Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution. According to him, it is totally made up of mid­ dle-school children with the age of between 8 to 16. During the height of their control, they brought their parents to public trial In many ca­ ses, they stoned their parents to death. They har­ assed and persecuted the principals and school superintendents. They liquidated 5? university presidents and physically tortured thousands of ed­ itors, professors, and writers. Most of all, they cut ten fingeis of an internationally famous piano player because she was not able to recit Chairman Mao's book. This Cultural Revolution lasted 25 months from August, 1966, to September. 1968. Finally Chair­ man Mao had to use the Red Army to force all the Red Guards back to the school. Now, according . these unhappy to this Canadian news re]. youth are try in to question Chairman Mao's Leadership because i Mao’s writing, he has stated die new things are always better than the older and the younger one must lead. Today, Chairman Mao is close to 80 years old. Even in Chinese tradition, we hardly can consider Chairman Mao is a young man. Therefore, the result of the Cultural Revolution maybe, is a good indication of the downfall of Chairman Mao. A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO PLEASE YOUR FRIENDS & RELATIVES!

Christmas cards need 6c stamps The Post Office Department has advised person: sending Christmas'cards that all cards weighing one ounce or less must carry six cents postage. In previous yean, unsealed cards without a writ­ ten message (only the signature of the sender) would be sent one cent less than first class postage. These would be delivered as third class mail, without the provision for forwarding or return if undeliverable. The postage rate legislation which went into ef­ fect last January raised the single rate third class postage to six cents for the first two ounces. Since virtually all greeting cards weigh less than an ounce, the first class and third class rates are, in effect, the same. Thus, the Post Office notes, all greeting cards bearing six cents postage which are undellverable as addressed shall be forwarded if a new address is available. The department stressed the importance of a re­ turn address to assure that undeliverable cards will be returned. This allows mailers to keep their a.d dress lists up to date.

Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) A blood bank is a rather modem concept in terms of the history of medicine and in terms of the his­ tory of civilization. There were no blood banks in the 19th century. In fact the blood bank at the Un­ iversity of Michigan was not begun until 1939. Ac­ tually the Russians get the credit for the whole idea of storing blood in one central location for issuance to the population as a whole. Many changes have occurred in clinical medi­ cine because of the presence and availability of a blood bank in the modern hospitaL Although function of the blood bank is still the storage of whole blood, other things are stored and prepared. Among these are platelets which is a frac­ tion of whole blood used in the clotting mechanism plasma compounds, including albumen, whole plas­ ma and various factors for treatment of hemophilia. Also commercial preparations in the blood bank are made from a large number of patients blood u­ nits for treatment of various clotting defects. Probably the largest impetus toward blood banks came from World War n and the Korean conflict because this made the entire population of the world aware of the urgent need for blood... blood proper­ ly typed and properly matched. Something like 13 to 14 million units of blood were given in the United States during the second world war. People gave blood at the various red cross centers throughout the United States. The blood was centrifuged and the plasma was separated from these units of blood and cooled. It was then processed and shipped overseas. Because of the risk of Hepatitis in the plasma, albumen was substituted for plasma in late 1944 because it has virtually no risk of hepatitis. Today, blood banks and their personnel also per­ form an educational function, do diagnostic func­ tions and advise on treatment of patients. The educational functions are primarily those of educating technologists so that they may learn how to properly handle blood in hospitals. But they also educate pathology residents and residents in hema tology so that they in turn may become medical di­ rectors of other blood banks. The diagnostic function of the blood bank is to find out what is wrong with the patients who may have one or more of various diseases regarding blood. One of the most vivid examples of this is the infant with hemolytic disease of the newborn, so-called erythroblastosis. In this instance the blood bank has to find what the antibodv is in the mother that will destroy the red cells of the infant. Also if there is an antibody present, the bank has to provide blood for the exchange transfusion that will occur shortly after the infant is delivered. More recently it has had to determine what the antibody is so that trans­ fusion may be given in the uterus of the mother. This requires the closest liaison between the obstretrician, pediatrician and the person in the blood bank. As soon as the baby is born the doctors are notified. They get a sample of the mother's blood, as well as'the baby's blood and obtain appropriate units of blood for the exchange transfusion. Since this is a new born infant they try to give relatively fresh blood. They match it with the mother’s blood, making sure that they are compatible. If It is com­ patible with the mother it will be perfectly suitable for the infant. ■_________ ' 1 Since dollars are not transfusable the doctors have to have blood and therefore depend on human be­ ings. A large pool of donors are registered with blood banks. As many as 1500 to 2000 are listed for a ’ single bank. These people are typed, not only in their ABO and RH systems but for a variety of other types and they co-operate at a very short notice for aonations. There are many other activities of blood banks but these are enough to illustrate their great impor­ tance in the health care of today’s world. Locals Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Winter visit is nice at , Greenfield Village, Museum " They are?" That's the frequently surprised response many peo­ ple make when they hear that Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are open during the winter months. Even people who have lived fairly close to the 260-acre snowplace of Americana often indi­ cate that they were unaware that visitors continue to tour the Village after the first snowflake* fly.' Actually, both the Museum and Village operate fof a shorter period daily during cold weather, but both are oneu daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year* Day. • There is a switch, however, in the manner in which people go through the Village.

Carriage rides through the Village continue to be available from 9:15 to 4 p. m. every day except when there is sufficient snow to allow sleight to op­ erate.

Scramlin was not present at the meeting.) The lots belong to James Erwin who is an employee of the village, serving as superintendent of the street de­ partment. Erwin had asked that these lots be rezon­ ed in order that he might keep a pony in the area for his two children. However, some 30 residents of the area had petitioned the council not to rezone the area. No reasons were given in the petition, but a spokesman who had signed the petition, Richard El­ liston, stated that the signets preferred the area re­ main zoned as residential, and felt that rezoning these lots would weaken the structure of the zoning ordinance adopted last January. The Maple Valley School administration asked that a police officer be stationed at the WashingtonMain Street intersection to direct traffic when school is dismissed in the afternoon, thus enabling the buses to move efficiently at this point. Harold Christian­ sen said he would take steps to improve the situation, but that often the officer was on other business and was not available to cope with this particular prob­ lem. Two gasoline bids were received and opened a t the meeting. The Jerow Oil Company was the low bidder with a 0.1624 figure and was approved by the counciL The other bid, from the Gulf Oil Com­ pany, was for 0.20. 3. Water and sewer rates were discussed, but no ac­ tion was taken. The water tower is inadequate, and very old; there is need for construction of new water lines, and the work of completing sewer extensions needs to be finished. The council men realize it would be far better to replace several of the older water lines instead of making numerous repairs, but there just isn't money to do the work right now. The president suggested the trustees ponder various meth­ ods of bringing more money into the water and sew­ er departments and report at the next meeting. Considerable work has to be done on North Main Street because of a water leak at the Miss Dorothy Edmonds property. The clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, was instructed to seek permission from the state of Michigan to go under M-66 to make the repairs. The Council approved $250 be paid to the Castle­ ton-Maple Grove Township Fire Board, and paid the general bills. Police Chief Donald Langham gave a detailed re­ port of activities in the ponce department from Oc­ tober 13 to December 13. In a special meeting December 6, the Council approved the transfer of the liquor license for the South End Food and Beverage, owned by Loren Ding­ man, to Charles Weiner of Kalamazoo, who is pur­ chasing the business. NUMBER 30 Captain Offley given Cross of Gallantry U.S. Air Fotes Captain Ronald D. Offley, son of Wayne T. Offley, Woodland, was recently decora­ ted with the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star at Phu Cat AB, Vietnam. Captain Offley received the award for c o u r a geous and gallant action in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam, from June 20 until June 30, 1968, when he flew numerous air strikes in support of friendly ground troops in battle with the enemy. The cap­ tain's actions contributed significantly to the a­ chievements obtained by the friendly forces. The F-100 Super Sabre pilot is a member of the 355th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Phu Cat. A graduate of Woodland Community HighSchool, Captain Offley received a BSE degree in cnemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 1964 and was commissioned upon completion of Officer Training School at Lackland AFB, Tex., the following year. The captain's wife, Eileen, is the daughter of Walter P. Hurd, 528 E. Francis, Hastings. Rev. R. Moeggenberg presents unusual program Approximately 35 members and guests attended the December meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was held at the VFW Hall and a Christmas gift exchange took place also. George Vogt, president, conducted a brief busi­ ness meeting. A report of the Centennial Celebra­ tion progress was given. A discussion was held as to the possibility of holding a balloon ascension. This is being investigated. Two guests were present from the Baby Bliss Co. and they reported briefly on the progress in the Nash­ ville plant and about the future plans for the c o m pany in this community. Bill Hecker, as chairman of the nominating com­ mittee, reported that his committee suggested that the same officers be asked to continue for this next year. He stated that the Centennial planning might be more smoothly completed with these same off icers. Rev. Raymond Moeggenberg of St. Cyril's Catho­ lic Church in Nashville, and St. Edward's in Lake O­ dessa, was the guest speaker. He brought with him a sound track ano slides and presented a very unusual program. The stidps were of a trip he had taken re­ cently to Arizona and the sound track which accom­ panied these pictures contained a variety of musical selections, some reading of poetry, guitar music and singing as well as the reading of some parts of the scripture and a postion of a Mass. Father Moeggenberg spoke also to the group in re­ gard to the necessity for future planning for small communities such as Nashville and Lake Odessa. He said unless changes are made in small communities, to keep up with progress, etc., they may find that too soon they are becoming the slums for the larger cities which are growing out toward them. He also stated that by taking measures to see that they meet the requirements, small communities in many cases are eligible for financial assistance from the govern­ ment to help carry out projects of change and im­ provement. His brief remarks brought such a response of curi­ osity and interest from the members that many sug­ gested that he be asked to return to a meeting at a later date to give further information in regard to this type of action. �Council Proceedings. BACKSTREET BAROMETER November 26,1968 The regular meeting of the Village Council w as called to order with all present The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The following bills were read and the motion made by Scramlin and supported by Kenyon they be allow­ ed and orders drawn on treasury for same. bv jo'in boughton Our Christmas Tree is up and we didn't even have the start of the good old Christmas Tree argument this year. Up to the last couple of years Mrs. Boughton and I have had a ding dong of an argument each year about when the tree should be erected and decora­ ted, or whatever you do to a tree. For several years I have been of the opinion that the tree should go up on Christmas Eve and should be taken down just as soon after the big day as pos­ sible. Amy has always held to the notion that it should go up sometime the first of December and should stay up until all the needles fall off and there is nothing but a bunch of bare sticks standing in the cornet. When we were first married I had a chance of at least holding my own in the fight. It was a one-to-one affair, more or less. But whenthe kids came along I knew I was on the little end of it They teamed up with Amy and for a few years I kept up the good fight but each year found the tree going up sooner ana coming down later. This year it went up on Saturday and I don't give a darn u it doesn't come down till the Fourth of Ju­ ly. I've lost, and I'm smart enough to realize it INC. FUND B. R. Cuyler Cons.

Prints and Health Aid are two badges the girk are currently working to achieve. The couple was married in Fowlerville in 1898 by the bride’s father. At that time he was minister in a Fowlerville church. The couple started housekeeping on a farm in Ma­ ple Grove Township and within a snort time p u r chased Mr. Hanes' grandfather's farm located three miles southwest of Nashville near the McKelvey schooL They continued to live there until they re­ tired and moved to a home on State Street in Nash­ ville in 1940. When Mr. Hanes sold out, the farm had been in his family for 150 years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hanes have exceptional m e m ories and enjoy reminiscing events which have o c curred over nearly 100 years. The farm work was done entirely witn horses, and Mrs. Hanes went into the field whenever needed. She helped in the hay field, in storing the hay and grain in the barn, and with whatever chores needed doing. Very seldom did they hire extra help. When asked if she ever wore anything but a dress to work with her husband, Mrs. Hanes replied, "Oh, never, with the exception of once when I put on overall pants to help paint the roof on the woodshed. " In addition to farming, Mt. Hanes also raised live­ stock, as was the custom in those days. "I bought my first car, a Model *T', in 1920,* said Mr. Hanes. "In all I owned two Fords, a Durant, and a Chevy." "We both worked hard, " he continued. "Saw both good and’ bad times, and didn't have much time for hobbies. We were members of the Maple Leaf Grange for a good many years, and I served as Mas­ ter for two years. " They can both recall that they had things ’^better" than their fathers, in the way of farm equipment. Their fathers used to cradle their grain "while we had a hay rake, and later a dump rake and loader" said Mr. Hanes. Now confined to a wheelchair, Mr. Hanes "would­ n't jive a hoot for TV” but spends many hours ____ rea ing. They both enjoy visiting with oth­ er residents at the Medical Facility. For many years Mrs. Hanes did much crocheting and embroid­ ery work. Mr. and Mrs. Hanes have a daughter, Mrs. Howard (Effie) Jones of Springfield Place, Battle Creek;two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Dear Santa, I will like truck and jeep.

Let Santa shop right now, at a variety of stores (see the directory of more than 17,000 places that welcome MICHIGAN BANKARD), and charge his entire Christmas list By using MICHIGAN BANKARD, Santa will have a complete record of everything bought, where it was bought, and how much was paid for each item (he'll receive copies of each purchase with the monthly statement). That could come in handy should he wish to return or exchange anything after Christmas.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, December 19, 1968 ■ MEMBER F.O.I.C. �. * Vermontville sponsoring home decorating contest School Board meeting held Ralph Frostic, state department of education, Monday evening discussed the state school bond loan program with the members of the Board of Educa­ tion of the Maple Valley district. Basically this program is set up to enable lower valuation school districts to construct buildings and still limit the total amount of millage levied for debt retirement. The state equalized valuation per pupil in the Ma­ ple Valley district is $6,700, which is comparative­ ly low as compared with figures throughout Michi­ gan. In any building program, whether to add class­ rooms or construct a new building, Frostic pointed out, it is best to project the student population for the next five years, plan for unlimited and quali­ fied bonds, and provide the state with estimated building and planning costs before presenting facts to the state for approval. He also said that building costs have increased 25 percent in the past two years, and they could be expected to increase in the f u ture. ' At the time the present junior-senior high school was built, about three years ago, the cost per square foot was $14. 00. Presently the cost per square foot for elementary classrooms is from $18. 00 to $22. 00 and for secondary buildings, $22. 00 to $28. 00. Frostic also indicated he did not see too much trou­ ble in the Maple Valley district having a loan ap­ proved if and when they decided to build. Before making any needs known to the public, the board will make a thorough study of all possibilities. The most pressing need at the present time is for el­ ementary space, and the board will compare the cost of additional classrooms with construction of a new building. At the Maplewood Elementary building in Vermontville, there is room at the west end for an addition. At the Fuller Street in Nashville there is an area for two rooms at the south end. At the Kellogg building in Nashville there is open area at the south end. The biggest advantage of a new building would be removing tne seventh graders from the junior-sen­ ior high school located half-way between Vermont­ ville and Nashville. Evaluation of operational costs of an additional building compared with additions to present buildings will be considered. There was some thought of using portable classrooms, but this does not appear to be the long range answer, is the con­ sensus of opinion of the board and administration. Al­ so to be given thorough study is construction of a bus garage.________________ ___________________ _____ HASTINGS FLOOR COVERING 123 West State Street The county intermediate office has paid the bal­ ance for the Type A Special Education Program and Speech Program not paid by the state department.

New laws prohibit youths under 16 yean of age from working away from their own farms in certain hazardous jobs involving tractor* and machinery. But the Michigan Sure University Cooperative Ex­ tension Service announced this week that area youths who want to try to qualify for exemption from some of the labor restrictions can do so by enrolling in the 4-H tractor program this winter. Beginning in January, 4-H tractor clubs all over the state will begin offering a course on tractor: safety and operation, plus special unit* on safety when operating other implement*. Two types of exemptions will be offered to youths over 14 year* of age. To qualify fot tractor exemp­ tion only, the youth must attend at least 80 hours of official instruction classes offered by the 4-H trac­ tor program and successfully pass both written and tractor driving skills test*. To qualify for machinery exemption, the youth must fulfill all the above re­ quirements. plus 20 more hour* of special machin­ ery instruction and pass written and skill* test* on these machine!, Any boy or girl under 16 who intends to work off hi* own farm next year should contact the local 4­ H Youth agent or the county Cooperative Extension Service office for further information on the pro­ gram. �WHEELER'S MARINE SERVICE NASHVILLE United fund leaden were honored at a luncheon, On Monday, (Dec.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR 4 PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry 4 Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States |3. 50 per year The Director of Membership Relations, Norman Peterson of Detroit, led a discussion concerning milk promotion particularly from the viewpoint of price and production, afld advertising promotion and research. He spoke of new markets for Michi­ gan Milk producers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and other states, and said that despite the fact some producers were going out of business the production has gone up during the past year. Following his informative talk the Barry-Eaton local members were asked to vote on four proposals in order that the Milk Producers Assocation would have a better understanding of how the members felt on certain questions. While the vote was simp­ ly a "straw vote" in reality, it did serve in learn­ ing the trend of area dairy producers. On the question, "If additional milk and dairy product advertising is to be done, the best and fair­ est means of financing currently available seems to be contributions, at a level fixed by farmers, di­ rectly from the superpooL The money would go to the American Dairy Association, and ADA would have to agree to discontinue its '2# voluntary' pro­ gram for superpool shippers. " Those present favor­ ed this method, 20 to £, Asked their opinion on this question, "If Con­ gress passes a new law, and it is signed by the Pres­ ident, there might be (sometime in the future) a possibility of advertising check-off under Federal Milk Marketing Orders. Since dairy farmers would have to propose and approve such a step, they would have control of funds so collected. If and when it becomes available, would you favor this method financing?" Those present were divided on this question, with exactly 50 percent voting "yes,” and " no. ” When asked "Should another vote be taken on a Michigan Dairymen's Marketing program? the ans­ wer was better than two to one * no. s The final question asked was " Michigan Milk Producers Association had its own advertising pro­ gram for many years. All lower Peninsula members contributed one cent per hundred weight (on milk) to it. Do you favor continuation of this program at the present level?" Their answer was definitely "yes. " The second part of the question "Doyou fa­ vor expansion of this program?" and only a little o­ ver SO percent of those dairymen present said "yes." Mrs. Joan Baker of Battle Creek who is active with one of the Dairy Councils in the state, talked to the group on "Depth Selling" and of her work with the schools and various other groups in pro­ moting increasing the uses of milk. Bruce Beam of Hastings, who is the Barry County Dairy Specialist, introduced Mrs. Beverly (Ferris) Hain, former Hastings resident who now lives in Carson City, and she showed slides taken while she was an IFFY exchange student in India. Among the special guests introduced was Sure Representative Stanley Powell of Ionia.

But this Monday on the 18th of March was not to be an ordinary day. Elizabeth's school day passed without incident. She attended her last class, then left school at 3:40 p. m. to walk home, a two-mile route through blossoming orange groves. She never arrived home. Somewhere along the lonely street, Elizabeth Ern­ stein vanished. There are no clues to her whereabouts, or even to what happened to the 14-vear-old girl, other than a report from a Redlands businessman who was driving through the area. He thought he saw a girl resembling Elizabeth walking toward the corner of the street on which she livei To her parents, Norman and Ruth Ernstein, the months of uncertainty and anxiety over their m is sing daughter "are the deepest anguish a person can go through. It is a shock so deep you become wooden, ■ the mother explained. ' The Ernsteins are; appealing nationwide for help in locatir their dai.lighter. ~ Ernstein, a chemical engineer at >ckheed in Redlands, ... and his rwife, a psychiatric social worker, have posted a $5, 000 re­ ward for information that will solve the mystery of their daughter's disappearance. They have vowed: "We will not rest until we know. " Neither parent has rested since that first long night when their young daughter failed to come home. They have tracked miles through orange groves, fields, foothills, and canyons in and around the Redlands area. They have followed every lead, no matte: bow slight, in the search for Elizabeth. "I can face the daytime better than the night, " the distraught mother said: "At night I find myself saying: 'Is she safe? Is she warm? Is she fed?.... and finally... is she alive?" When Elizabeth, nicknamed "Liz" by her friends, left for school that March morning, she had only 250 with her. She was dressed in a blue dress with white flowers.-tennis shoes and a dark-olive cordu­ roy coat. Around her neck she wore a small gold chain with a pendant gold and blue star. Enroute home, she carried a red algebra book and a blue looseleaf notebook. Neither lias been found. Elizabeth is five feet, five-inches tall, weighs 105 pounds and had brown hair and brown eyes. She is one of five Ernstein children. The family lost one of these, a son, to polio in 1952. . "This, the second tragedy in our lives, is even greater because of the uncertainty, " the desperate father said in his appeal to end the nightmare. I can accept anything, even the worst,' which I'm re­ signed to, biit I must know. " Any information concerning young Liz Ernstein should be reported promptly to this newspaper or to Capt. Charles Callahan.

"The main objective was to get acquainted, and we did. " Visitors began to arrive at 9:30 a. m. and they were welcomed by three young members of the society: the Misses Marilyn Fox, Kathy Olger, and Shelly Van De Vasse, of Applewood Drive, Lans%ob Rochester and Glenn Wickham, managers of the shelter were gracious hosts and the neat appearance of the building testified to the hours spent in preparation. They answered questions concerning the shelter and explained how they tried to find the owners of lost pets. "Usually people wait two or three weeks before they call us, " Bob said. "If folks would call and describe the animal as soon as it is missing, we'd be more apt to find it. " Several members of the Humane Society baked cookies which were served with coffee by Mrs. Paulita Lisle, vice Pres., of Potterville. Mrs. Rochester and daughter, Candis, were also kept busy helping out wnerever it was needed.

Thursday, December 26, 196k �Anticipate record number winter sports fans Michigan, mid-America's leading winter vaca­ tion destination, is preparing for an anticipated rec­ ord number of winter sports enthusiasts again this year, according to the Michigan Tourist Council, w ith the cooperation of Mother Nature, it is e x pected that last season's record of 300, 000 skiers, who spent $30 million will be surpassed. Getting the snow to Michigan's slopes usually pre­ sents no problem. Except for a few isolated spots in New England, Michigan traditionally has more snow­ fall than any other state east of the Rockies. The Great Lakes, which moderate the climate, making the winters milder and the summers cooler, serve to trigger the dumping of the soft white flakes that cover the ground and provide recreation for thou*sands of eager snow-fans. Ski buffs follow the snow to Michigan in ever increasing numbers. Council field representatives report high attendance at pxe-season winter sports shows with increased interest in Michigan offerings. Skiers this season will be visiting the 79 fully-de­ veloped Michigan winter sports area* which offer more than 600 challenging slopes and runs for. be­ ginners and experienced skiers alike. More than 60 chair lifts and 325 rope tows, T-bars and pomalift* in the state's winter resort areas made the task of getting back up the hill part of the fun. Several Michigan ski area* are complete village* in themselves, providing not only skiing, but affili­ ated service*. Many areas offer either overnight ac­ commodation* or recommend nearby lodges to fit almost any pocketbook and taste. Dini--------canv be an experience long to be remembered, w: unusual appointment* and services, but for those with tight­ er budgets, cafeteria or snack shop meals are pro­ vided. Clothe* oft' proclaim the man, but even mote— the woman. Modem ski clothes make girl watching on the slopes as popular a pastime as it is on the beaches. Ski shops which offer the latest in equip­ ment and clothing are operated at several Michigan resort*, . Skiing in Michigan is not just for the well-equip­ ped, a* anyone can enjoy a relaxing vacation at a ski resort. More than one half of the resort* listed in die Michigan Winter Sports Map, ju*t published by the Tourist Council, offer rental equipment as well as individual or group ski instructions at reas­ onable prices. So the skier can pick the slope best suited to his abilities, slopes are designated as beginners, nov­ ice, intermediate and expert. After a day of skiing fun in the crisp Michigan air, the delights of " apres ski" sociability take over. Many areas feature dining from hamburgers to gour­ met cuisine, entertainment, dancing, heated swim­ ming pools and lighted ice rinks. Most have cock­ tail lounges where the skier* can socialize. Often, group singing begin* spontaneously in front of an open fireplace. While a few resorts listed on last year's map are not in current operation, four new listings have been added this year. Lost Pine* Lodge, at Harietta, 14 miles west of Cadillac, has two ski runs and a toboggan hill in addition to ski trails. The facilities also include snowmobile trail* and rentals, an ice rink, lodging a dining room and bar. Russell's Ridge, five miles west of Hart, features a ski slope with rope tow, snowmobile trail* and a shelter house with a snack bar. Newaygo County Winter Park, three mile* north of Newaygo, lists two lighted toboggan run* with a ski slope, skating rink and snowmobile trail* a* well a* a shelter bouse and a snack bar. A new toboggan area has been added this year. Two miles east of US 12 on M-50, in Michigan's Irish Hill*, near Cambridge Junction. Frontier Mountain ha* 8 lighted toboggan runs, a lounge and a snack bar. Hay ride* and sleigh ride* are also of­ fered. The resort is open weekend* and holidays, or by appointment weekdays. Also new this year, but not included in the 1968­ 69 Winter Sports Map is Timberline Ski Resort, lo­ cated seven mile* south of Mio. The new winter sports facility feature* three slope* and one tow, and is open weekends only. For the convenience of ikiers. Timberline offers a snack bar, ski school, shop and rental equipment. In addition to skiers, other winter sports enthus­ iasts will participate in such winter vacation activ­ ities a* snowmobiling, hunting, ice fishing, and out-door festivals. Ice boating, which combines the the thrills of speed with the skill of navigating and mlaritv on Michifestival* are be­ held at Houghton Lake at Baw Beese Lake, ng, winter carnivals and winter camping are high on the list of popular Michigan winter-time activities.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BONDING FOR MARS A $435 million state bonding proposal may be in­ cluded on the November ballot. The proposal is a first step in cleaning up the state's polluted lakes, rivers and streams and would provide additional funds for recreation purposes. Bills have been introduced in both houses of the Legislature to put the proposal before voters. The is­ sue is promoted by a committee called, "MichiganAmerica's Recreation State. " MARS points outthat the proposed $435 million is not enough to complete the job of water cleanup and recreational needs. It is estimated that more than $1. 2 billion would be needed to eliminate the pollution problem* in the state with an additional $437 million for expanded recreation facilities. The committee has worked closely with the Gov­ ernor's office, the Conservation Department and various legislators. It realizes that the bonding re­ quest, while not sufficient to solve the problems, is both realistic and a step in the direction of pollu­ tion control. No new taxes would be required to float the 10­ year bonding, MARS is quick to point out. Two state bond issues, the Korean Veterans' Bonus and the Hospital Bond Redemption Fund, will be paid off in 1970 and 1971, so annual payments of these two issues could be diverted to the proposed Clean Water and Recreation bonds. This would leave a­ bout $11 million per year to be paid from other sources. MARS suggests this balance be paid from state income tax revenue or other general fund re­ ceipts. It notes, however, that the matter of paying off bonds rests entirely with the Legislature. Lieutenant Governor William G. Milliken said that the bonds could be sold at an interest rate of 4-4 1/2% With construction costs and land costs rising at an annual rate of 7-10% Milliken said that action is needed as soon as possible. Only $70 million of the entire $435 million would be at the disposal of the state. The remain­ ing $365 million would be used for'match-money programs with local and federal programs. Under the proposed plan the federal government would contribute $181 million and local govern­ ment $157 million. Thus, total funds available for water cleanup and recreation would amount to some $723 million. Of this total, $155 million would be spent for recreation purposes, and $568 million for clean water. Funds tabbed for water pollution control would be used to help local communities build 210 new water treatment plants and install additional sewers and storm water control systems. Completion of the program is estimated at 1980. Recreation funds, with the exception of $70 mil­ lion, would go towards shared-cost grants so local governments could build playgrounds, parks, re­ creation centers and other facilities. The money under state control would qualify Michigan for federal match-money programs in wildlife, fish­ eries and state forestry. There should be much publicity on the proposed bonding between now and November if the Legis­ lature puts the issue on the fall ballot. MARS is organized into various committees and has the sup­ port of many state agencies, most notably the Conservation Department. Committee members have been told that "selling" the proposal to vot­ ers will not be an easy task. However, Milliken stated, "If people have an opportunity to become fully aware of the opportun­ ities of these programs, I am sure they will ap­ prove them."

But he pointed out that "year* of neglect'' have brought serious conditions to many lakes and rivers. Lake Michigan is aging at 300-500 tiroes its nor­ mal rate because of pollution, he said. Other wa­ terway* are as bad or worse. Recreation is tied in closely with ample supplies of clean water. The issue is an important one and should be of concern to every resident of the state. The question is not really whether steps should be taken to clean up our water. It ia whether this is the best program available. who foR MEN of EVERy lANd ANd RACE Became tIie Child of BcihlEhEM Mess you ANd youRs This ChRiSTMASTidE VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Nashville A Vermontville aght bwth defects ... join HECKER INSURANCE AGENCY the MARCH OF DIMES I!
