LOYALTY AND DEDICATION OVERTAKES
FINANCIAL INCENTIVE
Many of the younger generation have a totally
wrong concept of our capitalistic system. They
degrade loyalty and dedication. Tncy consider them
too foolish and emotionally involved. Their inter
pretation of a new economic concept of capitalism
centers upon materialistic realism: I will work for
anyone who pays more. I will love anyone who pays
more. Loyalty rests upon my economic interest.
They will prostitute their own souls for personal
materialistic gains. They consider themselves to
be real capitalists. In many cases they will com
promise with the Devil. At the and they will sell
their self-respect, individual freedom, and dignity
for a certain amount of materialistic wealth. These
people are not necessarily raised from poverty.
Prior to the Chinese communist takeover of the
mainland, I saw many Chinese bought by the com
munists' promises of huge financial compensation.
They were promised generous additional material
istic wealth. Less than three years after the com
munists took over, most of these people lost their
lives. In our capitalistic system we must treasure
our freedom and liberty for they are more impor

ity, occupational promotions, and salary increase
should be less important than the individual's self

Annual church meeting
The Annual meeting of Church Women United
in the Hastings area will be held at the First Pres
byterian Church of Hastings, in the basement din
ing room, at 1:00 pm, Friday, January 10.
A business meeting will precede the program.
The "New Dimensions" of Church Women United
will be presented and a workshop for the leaden of
World Day of Prayer in the communities of Barry
County will be held. Packets are ready for the
leaden to aid them in .making plans, and in the
ordering of materials. World Day of Prayer will be
Friday, March 7, 1969.
At 2:00 the Rev. Harold Johnson, a Wesleyan
missionary on furlough from his assignment in Jap
an, living in Hastings this year, will be the speak
er. The Rev. Mr. Johnson has been working in
Japan for 16 yean for the most of the time in Tokoyo but also on the Island of Kuyshu. He hopes to
return to Kuyshu. He will have a very interesting
program to give.
Mrs. Fred Bower, magazine chairman, will be
ready to accept renewals for subscriptions to the
Church Woman and the Michigan Church Woman.
Following the meeting, refreshments will be
served. A nursery will be provided for the entire
meeting.
Dedication and loyally will assist human beings
in living harmoniously. Materialistic tern plat ion
and monetary-eiilraption will only lead us to fur
ther mental frustration and an increase in tlic na
tional suicide rate.
During LBJ's Great Society, the government
wasted billions of dollars trying to solve various
international crisis, reduce the metropolitan crime
rate and fight the war on poverty. Now Nixon's ad
ministration has pledged to solve these problems by
private enterprise methods and tax credit incentive.
In our capitalistic system many individuals re
gard the dollar as Almighty in selling and buying.
We neglect the fact that in a free society we must
have dedication and loyalty and most of all, com
passion and patriotism. Loyalty and compassion to
human beings have created many great cultures and
religions. In contrast, monetary rewards have
created crimes such as international spy rings for
double agents and federal narcotic agents with their
peddling activities. Using the monetary incentive
without the basic principle of loyalty and dedica
tion will never be able to create a great society.
Program trains youth
for off-farm work
Many youths who had hoped to earn money work
ing away from their parents' farm this past summer
were disappointed when the r^ew US Department of
Labor regulations were passed in January.
New laws prohibit youths under 16 years of age
from working away from their own farms in certain
hazardous jobs involving tractors and machinery.
But the Michigan State 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
ir. the 4-H tractor program this winter.
Beginning in January, 4-H tractor clubs all over
the stete will begin offering a course on tractor:
saf ety and operation, plus special units on safety
when operating other implements.
Two types of exemptions will be offered to youths
over 14 yean of age. To qualify for tractor exemp
tion only, the youth must attend at least 20 hours of
official instruction classes offered by the 4-H trac
tor program and successfully pass both written and
tractor driving skills tests. To qualify for machinery
exemption, the youth must fulfill all the above re
quirements, plus 20 more hours of special machin
ery instruction and pass written and skills tests o n
these machines.
Any boy or girl under 16 who intends to work off
his own farm next year should contact the local 4
H Youth agent or tne county Cooperative Extension
Service office for further information on the p to gram.

Happy New Year

American
Tradition
Postal rates lor newspapers and magazines and
oilier material mailed at llic second-class rate will
be increased January 1, Postmaster's DeCamp &
Frith reminded second-class mailers today.
The increase results from tile postage rate law
enacted in December 1967, which raised most
second-class rates in three annual steps, the Post
masters pointed out. The January 1, 1969, hike is
the second phase of the increase. The first phase
took effect January 7. 1968, and the third step will
go into effect January 1, 1970.
The second-class rate Increase affect* general
interest, nonprofit and classroom publications.
Rates also will go up January 1 for controlled
circulation publications. These are primarily
trade, technical and industrial journal* which gen
erally do not charge a subscription fee and are not
eligible for second-class rates. The 1967 postal
rate Law called for a three-step raise for controlled
circulation publication*, to be effective the tame
date* as the second-class increases.
Except for home-county mailings, postal rates
for newspapers and magazines mailed second-class
are based on the weight of the publication, the
amount of advertising it contains, and the distance
it is mailed.
Effective January 1, rates for editorial or non
advertising matter in commercial publications will
be increased from 3 to 3. 2 cent* per pound. Rates
for advertising content depend on the distance the
publication is mailed. These zone rates now' range
from 4. 6 to 15 cents per pound of advertising con
tent. The new advertising zone rate range will be
4. 9 to 16 cents.
There are special lower second-class rates for',
classroom publications and publications of nonpro
fit organizations. These rates also will be increased
January 1.
Postmaster's DeCamp & Frith said that secondclass or controlled circulation mailers who need
more detailed information on the new rates should
contact the Post Office where their publications
are mailed.
Senior citizens should
file for tax reduction
It's time for eligible senior citizens to apply for
their property tax reduction under Michigan's Home
stead Tax Exemption Law, which saves more peo
ple more money each year.
Last year this law meant an average saving of
$104 to 184,000 senior citizens. The state spent
$19,300,000 reimbursing local units of government
for the tax loss.
AU eUgible Michigan homeowners who are 65
years of age and over will need to file an affidavit
at their local assessor's office for a tax reduction
for their 1969 taxes. Those who applied last year
must file again.
AppUcants may fUe between January 2 and some
time in March, a date set by each local assessor's
office. There are no Uen provisions attached to the
Homestead Tax Exemption Act, and there wHl be
no attempt by state or local governments to collect
from the heirs or otherwise attach the property.
Michigan residents of more than five years, aged
65 or over, are eligible for the exemption if their
homestead and real property tax value does not ex
ceed $20,000 and their gross income does not top
$5,000.
Each applicant must supply a deed, land contract,
or mortgage; a birth certificate ot other legal proof
of age; a recent tax bill or bUls for all real proper
ty owned; and his social security number.
He should be prepared to give the true cash value
of property owned out of the state of Michigan, and
a statement of income.

CONSUMER PROTECTION
Victims of con-men and shady business operators
will find the Consumer Protection Division of the
Attorney General's office anxious to learn of the
swindle. There is a good chance that the victim’s
money may be returned in the process of investiga
tion.
The division is staffed by two attorneys, an a c countant, a field investigator and clerical personneL
Its sole responsibility is to fight the "fast-buck" op
erator. Working closely with local prosecutors, the
office acts upon complaints of citizens who feel
they were "taken" by a fraudulent scheme or a ques
tionable business practice.
Unsuspecting consumers may be defrauded in any
number of ways, and new rackets spring up as old
ones are eliminated. Some involve only a few dol
lars while others run into thousands. Most, but not
all. use a "something for nothing" appeal to. entice
the consumer. Older people, many on fixed in
comes, are especially vulnerable to the con games.
Attorney General Frank Kelley points out that
most retailers are honest and ethicaL They make
every effort to keep customers satisfied and adjust
complaints. Respectable businessmen are also con
cerned with shady operators, and realize that the
unsatisfactory performance of one company may in
jure an entire industry.
One such racket involves a "free aluminum sid
ing" offer. The homeowner is approached by a welldressed man, usually driving an expensive car, and
told that his house has been selected for "advertisThe homeowner need only sign four papers: a
credit check to make sure the individual is "respec
table" enough to merit the offer; an authorization
to let the company show the outside of the home to
future prospects; an agreement to bind any new own
ers of the home, if sold within 60 mpnths, to the
show-authorization, and a final paper which says
the homeowner is satisfied with the deal and "ap
preciates* the offer.
The papers are cleverly folded and stapled. The
only paper which is as represented is the top sheet
applying for a credit check. The other three: a
mortgage, a promissory note and a "completion
form’ which specified that the work is satisfactory.
Once the papers are signed, the "official" im
mediately sells the mortgage to a finance company.
Workmen arrive to install the siding the next morn
ing, and within a few days the homeowner finds he
bin debt at a cost much higher than a reputable
firm might have charged.
cl
Take a day to think about the offer before accept
ing it, the Attorney General suggests. Most confi
dence men pressure their victims into signing some
thing "right now, " before they have the chance to
think ana check out the offer.
There are many sources which consumers may use
to verify the reputation of a company; chambers of
commerce, better business bureaus, city hall, local
prosecutors, even friends and neighbors. The Con
sumers Protection Division will check their files for
consumer complaints.
Consumers who feel they were victimized are
urged to call the Attorney General so the complaint
can be investigated. Often, a single letter from the
division will bring a satisfactory conclusion. Some
times court action is necessary.

CUSTOMER COOPERATION
A safe car will probably never be built, accord
ing to Chrysler Corporation's chief engineer, Roy C,
Haeusler, if what is meant by "safe” u a car in
which no one will be injured to any degree in any
collision, rollover or accident.
However, cars are being designed which are
"more forgiving" of driver error, he said. "If bet
ter car design still does not enable avoidance of the
inattentive or drunk driver who.... crosses the cen
ter line into opposing traffic, then better design
may reduce the seriousness of the injury in the en
suing accident."
Safety is a relative condition, he noted, and
many of the most elaborate safety devices are of
little value unless the occupants of the car use them.
Some safety features, such as interior padding.safety glass, and energy-absorbing steering columns do
not require driver or passenger cooperation. Others
do.
Haeusler suggests a six-point check before putting
the automobile in gear; adjust the driver's seat,
lock doors, adjust inside and outside minors, check
instruments and controls, fasten seat belts, and
check for pedestrians.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1969
Jaycees honor Merle Martin
Merle Martin of Vermontville has been selected
by the Maple Valley Jaycees for recognition for
his work with young boys in the National Jaycee
Physical Fitness Leadership program. The award
is given "In recognition of outstanding contribution
to the development of a stronger, healthier America
in support of the President's Council on Physical
Fitness and Sports."
A graduate of Vermontville high school where he
was an outstanding baseball player, Merle started
working with youngsters in Vermontville in 1958
first in organizing baseball teams and later in bas
ketbalL
Later he expanded to include Nashville boys. Dur
ing the baseball season the boys play about 25
games per season and they have taken some six or
seven trophies. Three of the boys he has worked
with went on to play on college teams, and Merle
has taken some to try out for big league participa
tion.
At first it was all "up hill" business, and for
some time Merle even purchased the balls and bats
for the youngsters, but as enthusiasm increased
various individuals and businessmen started backing
the teams.
Why has Merle taken time to do all this? First
because he likes youngsters, and he felt they
needed some kind of an organized physical fit
ness program. He felt too that by working- with
younger noys, they would be better able to par
ticipate in high school sports when they reached
that age.
Metre lives on a farm, and in order to get his
work out of the way so he could help promote
baseball he often got up at 4 am during the busy
summer season. And, in turn, often the boys turned
out to help him. Now he is very active with bas
ketball each Saturday morning from 8:30 to noon.
"For the most part, the parents have been very
cooperative in getting the boys out to practice,
and I'm grateful Of course there have been a few
boys held back simply because the parents won't
bother to bring them in. "
Down through the ten years Merle has often
been asked for advice from boys who have faced
family problems and felt they couldn't talk their
Problems over with their parents. A number of
oys have come from broken homes and "these
are the children who have asked for the counsel
ing, for the most part, " Merle said. "I'm sure
some parents would be greatly surprised if they
knew some of the intimate problems the boys have
been concerned about, but I've sat down and quiet
ly talked out the problems with the boys and in
several instances the boys, as they grew older,
have returned to thank me for any help I was able
to give."
Merle's interest has not stopped here. He has
taken the youngsters on hay ndes, weiner roasts,
bowling, had them in for watermelon, taken them
on camping trips and even flew six boys into Can
ada on a fishing trip.
Senior c itizens should
file for tax reduction
It's time for eligible senior citizens to apply for
their property tax reduction under Michigan's Home
stead Tax Exemption Law, which saves more peo
ple more money each year.
Last year this law meant an average saving of
$104 to 184,000 senior citizens. The state spent
$19,300,000 reimbursing local units of government
for the tax loss.
All eligible Michigan homeowners who are 65
years of age and over will need to file an affidavit
at their local assessor's offiee for a tax reduction
for their 1969 taxes. Those who applied last year
must file again.
Applicants may file between January 2 and some
time in March, a date set by each local assessor's
office. There are no lien provisions attached to the
Homestead Tax Exemption,Act, and there will be
no attempt by state or local governments to collect
from the heirs or otherwise attach the property.
Michigan residents of more than five years, aged
65 or over, are eligible for the exemption if their
homestead and real property tax value does not ex
ceed $20,000 and their gross income does not ton
$5,000;
Each applicant must supply a deed, land contract,
or mortgage: a birth certificate or other legal proof
of age; a recent tax bill or bills for all real proper
ty owned; and his social security number.
He should be prepared to give the true cash value
of property owned out of the state of Michigan, and
a statement of Income.
South End Food &
Beverage changes hands
MERLE MARTIN
Has it been expensive for Merle?
"Well, I don’t smoke and I don't drink, " he
said, "and the money I spend on the boys is no
more than some spend in a tavern. "
However, Merle gives considerable credit to
his wife, Marlene, who never misses a basketball
game or a baseball game if she can possibly make
it, and is always ready and willing to fix sand
wiches or other snacks for "Merits noys." The
Martins have two small boys of their own, who
are mightly lucky to have parents like Merle and
Marlene.
It sounds as though the Jaycees have made a
wise choice in selecting Merle Martin as their
candidate for the Physical Fitness entry.
In spite of all the hours Merle finds to work with
these noys, he manages to play basketball him
self on an independent team during the winter and
plays softball during the summer months.

�BACKSTREET
BAROMETER
I've seen too many years come and go to devel
op much of a thrill over the advent of a new year.
The idea of 1969 arriving does not impress me great
ly. Perhaps when 1970 comes along. I'll feel dif
ferently. Maybe 1969 will give us enough good
things to make us sad to see it go -- of course, it
could go the other way and be so bad that we will
be glad to see the end of it. 1968 though was just
a run-of-the-mill year.
Amy and I took two little girls out to dinner on
New Year's Eve and then went to see Doctor Doo
little with them. We were safely home by mid
night. A real nice way to spend an evening!
I did much better on resolutions this year. It was
somewhere about noon of January 3rd when I broke
my last resolution. The first resolution went the
way of all resolutions when the first football game
of New Year's Day came on.
There is some doubt in my mind whether I am
just becoming stronger in my old age and can hold
on to the resolutions longer -- January 3rd is a bit
of a record for me — the only resolution I stuck to
longer was the year I resolved to get more rest on
Sunday afternoons and not to endanger my health
by allowing my tender hands to soak in dishwater.
I have to admit that others in the family did their
part in helping break these resolves.
As I started to say, there is doubt as to whether
I can hold a resolution longer now or perhaps I am
just smarter and make resolutions that last a little
longer. In any event --we ate off to a new year.
We went to the VFW Penny Supper Saturday
night and as we were leaving we stuck our heads
inside the kitchen to say hello to the hard-working
ladies there.
Out in the kitchen. Bob Banks and George Kel
logg were both in dishwater up to their elbows and
Vicki Banks was standing behind them giving them
instructions on how to best do the dishes and keep
ing them from taking off at the first opportunity.
Incidentally, we enjoyed some good eating at
that supper too.
I have not had the opportunity to see all of the
beards in town but being a Brother of the Brush my
self, I can appreciate those that I have seen. Bill
Kjergaard has one that just won't stop! His is about
the best growth I have seen on a chin in many a
long year. 1 understand that Maynard Perry has a
beauty and that Bill Helsel is doing great, and that
Tom Jones is right in there with his growth.
Martin Graham and I spent a pleasant few min
utes the other night comparing beards. He suggest
ed that we get guitars and perhaps form a rock com
bo. He is of the opinion that we wouio go over great
with such a thing. Maybe we could call ourselves
"Graham & Cracker" 1

Someone, who thought he was playing a real
good joke, tied a dead raccoon to a flagpole rope
m front of the Post Office and ran the thing to the
top of the pole. When Wilma DeCamp, the post
master, went out to put the flag up in the morning,
this is what she was greeted by.
Other post office personnel tried to convince her
that she should shinny up the flag pole to remove
the dead raccoon while Amy got a picture of the
proceedings for the paper. The idea didn’t go over
real big with Wilma, though Amy was willing to
do her pan.
When I was a little kid, it was still common for
the older men to have beards. I can remember my
grandfather, a most distinguished looking man, had
a VanDyke and when he walked downtown in Ches
aning to go to the Post Office, he looked like a col
lege professor.
He had a friend, also a retired farmer, who visit
ed with him often and this friend really bad a beard.
It was full, white and it bad been attached to his
face long enough to have attained considerable in
growth. I don't think the old man had ever cut it
because it came down half-way to his belt, and
be looked for all the world like Santa Claus, though
somewhat thinner.
One day there was somewhat of a disturbance in
front of old Mr. Stumer's house. The neighborhood
dogs were making a fuss about something under the
Stumer's front steps. So, Mt. Sturner got down on
his hands and knees and stuck his head under the
steps to see just what it was that had the dogs in a
dither-------- He found out. The dogs had chased a
skunk to the protection of the sups and just as Mr.
Stumer poked his head under the sups, the skunk
was in tne process of carefully backing out. Both
the skunk and Mr. Stumer were surprised to meet
in this way (head to tail, as it were) and they both
reacted. The skunk, however, overreacted, for
which I am sure he later was sorry as he sat in his
skunk den thinking over the things that had gone
on that day!
The skunk's over-reaction is somewhat normal
for skunks, who are known to be rather short on
patience when they are being harried by dogs and
old men with beards. Mr. Stumer's reaction was
normal, but nowhere near as speedy as the skunk's.
The skunk got Mr. Sturner right in the beard and
immediately after that, even the neighborhood dogs
would have nothing to do with their bearded, new
found hunting companion. Mrs. Stumer wouldn't
let him back into the house until he had removed '
not only his clothes, but his beard.
I have no idea how long it took him to grow a
replacement, but I'll bet it never got anywhere
near the length of the original.
AS I SEE IT.

The Yes Men Buried Chairman Mao's Dream
Today's stereotype'dictator usually possessed a
humble background, rose from poverty and reached
prominence after a five-to-twenty — perhaps even
fifty-year struggle. Many transitions and setbacks
created the strong-willed and self-centered dic
tator. In the process he suppressed individuals who
disagreed with him. These dissentets' past contri
butions to his success were ignored.
Chairman Mao Tse-Tung of the Chinese com
munist party has almost reached the age of eighty.
During 1966 be discovered that many of his for
mer comrades were not particularly enthused about
his violent attacks on China's neighboring countries.
He, therefore, used the Red Guard movement in
an attempt to crush the opposition.

destroyed all his former comrades. In the process
it even demoted and stripped aH the powers of
former Chinese communist government, President
Liu Shao-Gie. Chairman Mao now has only "ves"
men surrounding him including his wife, Madame
Mao, and Cheng Pao Tai. These "yes" men
praise him, calling him the greatest leader ever
born in China. The influence of their praise is
vast. Anyone who wishes to perform surgery, cook
a dinner, construct a nuclear reactor cannot be
successful until he has read Chairman Mao's quo
tations book. They had made him a god. They
forced the Chinese to live under fear and super
stition. Chairman Mao has become a mystery man
instead of a political leader.
These "yes" men, however, cannot suppress the
anger and resentment of the majority of the Chin
ese population. The Chinese central government
has lost her control on the people. Many of the
provincial governments have declared indepen
dence and refuse to transmit any tax money to the
central government. Chairman Mao's argument in
revolution, "the new is better than the old; there
fore, the young mutt destroy the old" has back
fired on him. His age and physical condition rep
resent the old. During this cultural revolution the
central Chinese communist governments murdered
and tortured more than 14 million people, destroy
ed the traditional educational system, lost support
ers around the world and politically reversed back
ward to the warlord period. Chairman Mao has been
buried alive not by his political enemies but by
his political "yes" men.
Chairman Mao’s lesson can also be applied to
our own industrial and political structure. Ln many
cases we are not destroyed by our dissenters but
by the group of "yes" men surrounding us who seek
special favors from their leaden. They agree with
us even when we are wrong. They corrupt us with
their smiles; and by blindly agreeing with us, they
will bury us.

�To pick up trees
Ada Skedgell, Clerk of the Village of Nashville,
has announced that Christmas trees will be picked
up beginning January 8th, Trees are to be placed
on the curbs before this time. If anyone wishes to
dispose of the tree earlier, it may be taken to the
dump on Saturday between 9 and 3.
Pardon us for carping on a tired subject, but anybody likes a
choice. Fishermen will tell you even the finny tribe wants variety.
And we think people deserve better than that!
So it behooves us all to keep advertising alive. For as adver. tising flourishes so flourishes competition. And where there’s
competition, you, the consumer, fare better. And that’s no
fish tale.

Dear friends,
It is a tribute to the
public.confidence in funeral
directors that over 50% of
funerals conducted in this
country come from families
previously served by that
funeral director.
Another large percent
age come to a funeral
director by recommendation
from someone he has previous
ly served. Such public
confidence is our greatest
satisfaction.

COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO
THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY,-JANU ARY 16, 1969
School Board meeting held
Classroom needs, future enrollments, and bus g arage and storage areas were thoroughly studied Mon
day evening at the meeting of the Maple Valley
Board of Education. The present garage area is inad
equate and the building itself is tn need of repair.
Whether to attempt to fix up this building or con
struct a new one has been under consideration for
some time. Too, the location of a new building, if
such were selected, has come up for discussion in
previous meetings.
Presently there is less than $60,000 in the building
and site fund. The Board decided to have Chris King,
architect, and a member of the board, figure.exact
ly what could be constructed for this amount of mon
ey on a new sue which would be at the junior-senior
high school. He will make his report at the February
meeting.
In considering additional classrooms the early ele
mentary grades are the ones overcrowded at the pres
ent time, although enrollment figures tend to vary
over the years. The Board discussed again tile possi
bility of using portable classrooms, although they are
aware this is not the best solution to their problem.
Building costs are continually on the rise, and the
Board is anxious to decide on a building program as
quickly as possible. In view of this fact the Board
voted to ask Supt. Carroll Wolff and high school prin
cipal Leon Housler to collect all facts pertaining to
exact classroom needs. Then a call will go out to
every organization in both Nashville and Vermont
ville to send a representative to a special meeting
when all the facts will be presented.
In the past the Maple Valley students have, for the
most part, used good taste in grooming. Only on a
een reprimanded for exfew occasions have students been
tremely short skirts, exceptional hairdos, mustaches,
beards and too-long sideburns. That is the way the
administration and townspeople want to keep it. Since
the Christmas holiday, Principal Housler has had to
contend with a few exceptions, even including a
couple of male teachers whose beards have been con
sidered in poor taste. The school administration is al
so aware that Nashville is celebrating its centennial
next summer, and for that occasion some males are
hoping to sport beards, and the like. The situation
came up for considerable discussion Monday evening,
and the Board went on record as recommending no
beards, mustaches or centennial hairdress until after
spring vacation. This will be April 7.
The Board voted to accept the resignation of Miss
Rosalie Manz as junior high mathematics teacher.
They also hired Gregory Hoefler, a Central Michigan
University graduate of January 24, to replace her.
The Board had previously allowed for the purchase
of three busses in the budget, but Monday eveningapproved the purchase of a fourth bus. This will enable
the school district to keep within the seven year re
imbursement program through state aid on school
busses. They now have four 1962 busses that are be
ing used on regular routes.
Teacher negotiation meetings will be coming up
before long. The Board appointed Herald Hansen and
John Viele as board representatives, and Supt. Wolff,
Housler and Harold Yost, elementary principal, to
meet with the teachers.
They also approved transfer of two payroll accounts
in the amounts of $32, 324.19 and $31,710. 76 a nd
the paying of the general bills in the amount of
$14,414. 33.
Christmas party held
for needy children
A touch of happiness was added to the holiday spir
its of the twenty seven children who attended the
Christmas Party for Needy Children which was spon
sored by the Maple Valley Jaycetts with,the help and
cooperation of the Maple Valley Jaycees.- <
The children were from both the Vermontville and
Nashville areas and were selected, with the aid of
the county social worker, by the co-chairmen, Mary
and Bill Gibbs and the rest of their committee mem
bers consisting of Janice Filter, Judy Laurie, and
Janice Johnson. The parents of the children were
notified prior to the party and arrangements were
made for each child to be picked up at 6:00 p. m.
on December 16, by a member of the Auxiliary and
her husband and would be delivered back home by
8:30 p. m.
The evening began with each child being taken
to Kelley's 50to $1. 00 Store to purchase an item of
clothing from a selection agreed upon by Mr. Kelley
and the committee members. Once the item of
clothing was purchased, each child was then taken
to the high school for a snack and a visit with Santa
Claus in the school's cafeteria. To the delight of
the children, there was a chrutmas tree in one corn
er of the room with presents heaped around the bot
tom. Mr. Santa did the honors of bestowing each
child with a gift bearing his own name. These gifts
ranged from either a stuffed animal or a doll for
the girls, to building blocks or a set of cars for the
boys. Santa also gave each child a stocking full of
candy.
As the evening drew to a close the children selec
ted a toy and a sack of candy to take home to each
of their younger brothers or sisters who were unable
to attend. The toys used for this were collected by
the FHA girls and were donated to the Auxiliary.
The funds used to purchase the clothing and the
toys that the children received, were made avail
able by the candy sales just recently put forth by
the Auxiliary.
The members of the Auxiliary are very pleased
with the success of this first Christmas Party for
Needy Children and it is hoped that it can Become
an annual affair. Special thanks go out to Max Kel
ley, to Santa Claus and to everyone else who made
the Christmas Party possible.
NUMBER 34
Paul E. Siegel named
Nashville village attorney
Paul E. Siegel of Hastings has been named village
attorney for Nashville. His appointment was a p proved Thursday evening at the regular meeting of
the village council. Attn. Siegel replaces Horace
Powers of Charlotte who was ejected judge of the
Barry-Eaton district last November.
Tne superintendent of public works, James Er
win has again made request to the council to have
three lots on South Main Street rezoned from resi
dential to residential-agricultural. This is his sec
ond attempt to get his land rezoned. This time he
stated in the request that he wants to "raise one
pony, and no more than two, " on the land which is
adjacent to Quaker Creek and is not suitable for a
building site or even toe practical for a garden.
When he asked that the lots be rezoned in No
vember of last year, a petition, signed by 30 per
sons in the area asked that the rezoning remain as
it was. On December 12 in a secret ballot
the
council turned down Erwin's request three to one.
One trustee abstained, and one member was a b sent from the meeting.
The hearing on the request has been set for Janu
ary 23, and a vote will be taken at the February 13
meeting.
The village ordinance pertaining to the disposal
of garbage is to be strictly enforced. This means
that garbage must be placed in a metal can with
a rodent and fly-proof cover. Presently some cus
tomers are using paper sacks or cardboard boxes
which fall apart when snow-covered and wet.
The council voted to pay $250 to the Castleton
Maple Grove township Fire Board, and okayed pay
ing the other bills.

tion to take place on Monday, March 10 are: For

Corkins, BfuMicaf,
�BACKSTREET
BAROMETER
It is cleche and old hat, but maybe there is
something to the theory that many newspapermen
and politicians have put forth lately that the astro
nauts trip to the moon and the pictures of the earth
that they brought back might poasibly, in some way
convey to those of us who are living here, the sad
truth that we are living on a very small island in a
vast sea of space. The pictures of our earth taken
from the moon show us that we are small and rath
er insignificant. When we see a photo of our world
and it is as big as a quarter, then we can start to
know just how small we are and perhaps it can
make us see how close the people of this world are
and bow much we need each other. Perhaps then
we can stop fighting and hating each other.
Just to show now small our world is -- I heard it
put this way. If that part of the universe that we
can see where the United States our world would be
so small that it could not been seen with a micro
scope.
One of my fellow workers in Lansing makes a big
point of explaining to people that we are having a
centennial celebration in Nashville and that is the
reason for the beard. For some reason he feels com
pelled to add this to an introduction. I think he be
lieves that otherwise people will think I am a hippie,
commie, or a professor — maybe all three and he
doesn't want anyone to think he would associate with
that type of person.
I really can't understand this attitude in the A
merican male. We talk about how desirable it is to
be an individual and yet we want our men to c o n form to a uniform code. The ad account executive
must wear a gray flannel suit. The artist may wear
a sports jacket, the preacher must wear a black
coat. It upsets the whole scheme of things when one
of them gets out of uniform.

The world is full of people like my friend who
would have all the men in it looking alike, dress
ing alike and thinking alike and if one deviated at
all from the pattern, to have an excuse for it -
they are having a centennial in his town.
They don't do this with women. They just don't
stand still for this jazz. When they want to change
the color of their hair they do it. Women just are
more independent than men.
There is an awful lot of enthusiasm around town
for the upcoming centennial celebration. The clos
er we get to the celebration the more enthusiasm
seems to generate. This centennial is going to be a
lot of fun, but it is also going to be a lot of work
and the only way it will go over really big is for
everyone in town to get together and work at it.
Open House to honor
25th anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Buryi Townsend of 10727 Lawrence
Road, observed their 25th wedding anniversary with
an open house for their families Sunday at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Furlong,
219 N. State Street in Nashville. Also hosting the
event were their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Donald (Joan) Carroll and grandson, Dennis, of
Vermontville.
Buryi Townsend and Alberta Furlong were mar
ried by his father, the Rev. Harley Townsend on
January 4, 1944, at the home of the bride's par
ents wno resided on State Road north of Nashville.
Mr. Townsend was serving in the army in World
War II at the time of their marriage. They lived
in Texas and Oklahoma the first year of their mar
riage. Mrs. Townsend returned to Hastings to work
until her husband was discharged from the army in
1946. They moved to Woodland for three years be
fore moving south to Nashville where they now re
side. Presently Mr. Townsend is employed at the
Bliss plant in Hastings.
Jackpot News
The newspapers have come out with a big thing.
They tell us that we have had more snow than we
have had in many a long year. Good grief, they
didn't need to tell us that.... we could figure that
out for ourselves.
People are still talking about the big snow we had
in January a couple of years ago. If we get another
one like that on top of what we now have we are
really in for it.
The Wayne Pennocks and the Boughtons are both
having foreign exchange students from Chile for the
next ten weeks. These boys will be going to the Ma
ple Valley high school and will be a part of our
community for the time they are here. I hope we
all make them feel welcome.
In Vermontville last Friday night Grace Aseltine
missed the $25. jackpot held at Spicer's Circle S.
The new jackpot will be $50. 00.
Plan Sno-mobile race
The plans for a Sno-mobile race between Dave

World Geography classes saw a Canadian film on
the history of the Canadian Mountie and the western
frontier of Canada. Canada had less trouble with
the Indians than did the US. Canada sent the Mount
ie into the Indian camp and told him all Indians
were the equal of Canadians. They would expect
them to obey all laws as did their white brother.
Being considered equal helped keep the peace.
The American Government classes have been
drafting bills for the "Legislature. " There were
several very good bills that showed a lot of thought.
About one third were passed by the "Legislature. "

Dear Sir,
I am wondering if I can get you to help me try
and find my dog. He was taken from me while I
was at work New Years Day and left on the streets
of Vermontville near the band corners. I did not
find it out until late the next day. Because of my
job and the road situation, I have been unable to
come over and hunt for him, and because it has
been so bitter cold and he has been with me since
the day be was born and is now 9 years old, and
has known nothing except affection and had food
and shelter, I am very worried, about him and how
he is surviving.
•
He is shiny black with the sight gone in his right
eye. Very wiggly and friendly. But may act timid
to strangers.
I know your paper goes all over the Vermontville,
Nashville area and someone might have seen him
or some youngster may have taken him home as a
stray.
I would gladly reward anyone who finds him and
lets me know. They can call me collect Middle
ville, 795-9650.
Please charge me for advertising, but please, can
you put it on so it will be noticea in big print.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kaye Shaneck

The Village Council feels it is necessary to ask
for the further cooperation of the customers to the
garbage service. A small percentage of the custom
ers are mis-using the service which is resulting in a
very strained relation between the Disposal Com
pany and the customers.
We are asking that you keep the amount of gar
bage and trash to a minimum. Use only regulation
size cans, which means no larger than 20 gaL Keep
the cans covered to keep contents rodent free and
discourage stray dogs from littering content*. We
ask that you do not use cardboard boxes or paper
bags for refuse. They do not hold together this
weather and are nearly impossible for the collector
to handle.
We appreciate your cooperation and hope to con
tinue giving1 satisfactory service.

Digging Stopped”
Did you hear about the two carpenters who
were all day changing a basement window? The
brighter one explained to the boss that it took
most cf the day to dig the hole so they could
put up their ladder.
Due to bad weather and hard digging, we
aren't changing cellar windows, so we do have
time now to do any of those inside jobs or help
you with some planning.
Things won't always be this slack, so why
don't you rush us now and we can get on your

As an individual who had completed his college

‘ during
‘ ‘ 11950. The

gap was never discussed
in
_
...
. the*
'
room. During*that time I was younger than many
of my students who were frequently Korean veter
an* on the GI BILL They were in tneir late twen
ties or early thirties. My age was only 23 or 24.
The students' attitude was ver/ serious. They were
grateful to have the golden opportunity of educa
tion in order for them to have a better future. My
feeling was of inadequacy and I wished .1 knew
more so I could teach them better.
Eighteen yean later I suddenly discovered myself
the victim of the generation gap. On different
campuses where I lectured, I was comidered an
ancient fixture. My thinking represented the Es
tablishment; I was sometime* even classified as a
self-centered capitalist.
I believe this myth of the generation gap is a
hoax created by public relation firm* in order to
push many consumer product* with such slogans a*
"think young, ’ "act young," and "look young."
This generation gap may even be considered a* a
conspiracy of those who try to create the conflict
between the young and old. In Asia and in Europe
the majority of the population respect their eldea;
any individual who ha* reached longetivity is noth
ing to be ashamed of, especially today with our
medical science improvement* and progress. These
rebels will have the opportunity to receive their
social security checta in the early 2000. Unless
the younger generation trie* to commit suicide or
start a nuclear war, they cannot stop the increase
of their age.
After fortunately passing the age of 40, I f e e 1
more relaxed. I am unable to find a* many faults
with life a* in my twenties or thirties. My think
ing is more mature. I am willing to do more lis
tening. I have more cornyistnn to my fellow hu
man beings. Most of all I know I am closer to my
Creator each day from now on. I know how to
make plans to leave some money for some chari
table organizations; bow to complete a will to
take care of the family. Most of all. I would like

School buses inspected
The 22 buses of the Maple Valley School district
were given the annual vehicle inspection on Mon
day by members of the Safety and Traffic Division
of the Michigan Department of State Police.
The first part of the Inspection is- the same as for
any vehicle. Checked are the glass areas for s a f e ty and vision; windshield wipers and washers;lights,
front and rear directional, high and low beams,aim,
output, tail and stop lights, plate and beam indica
tor; horn; steering; brakes, foot and parking; tires,
for tread, bulges or breaks; exhaust, noisy or smoky;
mirrors
and seat belts. School buses are also
checked for reflectors, clearance flights, flashes,
fuel tank, defroster, emergency door, fire extin
guisher, flares and/or other warning equipment,
bumpers, body condition, heater, tint aid kits, ser
vice doors, steps and seats.
The inspection for the state is divided into eight
districts. Testing the Maple Valley buses were
Trooper D. A. Smith and Trooper Darwin Downey
and their area includes schools in the East Lansing,
Brighton, Ionia and Ithaca vicinities which includes
more than 50 school districts.
The state gave annual inspections on school buses
up until about ten years ago. Then they were drop
ped until a year ago for financial reasons.
In discussing the Maple Valley buses with the
news media Trooper Smith said that generally speak
ing the buses are in good condition, much better
than last year, which was the first time in ten yean
the buses had come under the close inspection. He
also states that buses are subject to inspection at
any time by an authorized official if he wishes to
stop a bus on the highway, in the parking area, or
elsewhere.

Judy Gray returned to Boyne Mountain Friday morn
ing after spending two days with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Gaylord Gray. She has been working at'
Boyne Mt. Ski Lodge since the middle of December.
Bill Hecker and family spent the weekend at their
cottage near Kalkaska.
In 1968 there were 30 fire calls and 34 ambulance
runs. This is about average with only the ambulance
service calls making a big increase, jumping from
six calls only three years ago.
Two large barns were lost in 1968; Archie Martin
and Ira Stairs. The total fire loss for the department
this year was $31, 893. 32.
Two stalls of the new fire barn have been com
pleted and are being used, with some electrical
work still being installed. The building plans call
for a four-stall structure, with an office area. The
rest of the building will be completed at a later
date.
The officers for the new year remain the same
with Dale Briggs as Chief, Cleo Prescott and Jim
Zemke as assistant Chiefs.
In December the department raffled a half of
beef, the winner being Mrs. Robert Essex of Char
lotte. The firemen will soon be out selling dance
tickets for its 46th annual dance coming up Febru
ary 22nd.

/ Would you believe-—(or That®
, Was The Week That Was?)
"
Neila is taking off the whole
month of January for foot surgery
and is recuperating nicely at home.
At the store we have been a rather
clipped crew. Rose took on Neila's
job--she just doesn't have enough
to keep busy you know--but suit
ed the week with a oold. The flu
bug adopted both Rose and Al—sec
ond time for Al since Christmas—
and decided to suy a full week and
then some. Sonya took over check
out for Rose and--you guessed it—
Penny got the flu and was house
bound all last week. Just as we were
all feeling sorry for ourselves, Printha caught her finger in the door of
the walk-in freezer and mashed it
so badly she is lucky to still have
the whole finger. Then we all felt
mighty sorry for her. She was back
to work the next day and we tell
her by the time she has two good
hands she ought to be able to do
twice the work! So far as we know,
no customers have had to check out
I
their own groceries; we hone the
service hasn't been too bad around
I
the store.
'
This week we welcome back to
Makers staff Richard (Dusty)Furlong
who worked for us as a high school
M
student a few years ago. Dusty is
■
now married, and he and his wife,
Kathy have a baby girl. They will
I
be making their feme here at 417
■
1/2 N. Main. When you stop in,
say hello to Dusty and shop our ad
I
for your best fooo buys. Just don't
be surprised if we are wearing the
'
latest--flu masks, and not for exper-^
imental purposes, either.

In January each year, Jaycees all over the nation
observe Jaycee Week. This week, January 19-25,
has been set aside to inform the public about the
Jaycee movement.
The Jaycees is a civic or community service or
ganization for men between the ages of 21 and 35.
Their organization is dedicated to providing leader
ship training through community development work.
Each Jaycee is offered such advantages as a chance
to voice his feeling in community affairs, a leader
ship development course not available through any
college in the world, social and recreational activ
ities with men in his own age group, a chance to
improve his community and responsibilities result
ing in developing the ability to make his own decis
ions. These are just a few of the many hundreds of
advantages of being a jaycee.
The Jaycees, now more than a quarter of a mil
lion strong, are working for community betterment
in more than 6, 300 communities in the nation.
It should be pointed out that the Jaycees are in no
way affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce. How
ever, in many instances we will find the two organi
zations working closely together in the community.
Perhaps the best way for one to become fully a
ware of the purpose of the Jaycee movement would
be to take just a moment to read through the J a y -
cee Creed, absorbing the meaning of each and every
line.
THE JAYCEE CREED
We Believe:
That Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to
human life; That brotherhood of man transcends the
sovereignty of nations: That economic justice can
best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of
men; That earth's great treasure lies in human per
sonality; And that service to humanity to the best
work of life.
The wives of the Maple Valley Jaycees , the
Jaycee Auxiliary, have a feeling of great pride dur
ing Jaycee Week. The Jaycees rank 16th out of
more than 270 Jaycee Chapters in the state for serv
ing the people of the two communities.
Considering the Jaycees have been in existence
less than a year, the Auxiliary feels it has a right
to be proud of the men.
For those are husbands who have worked countless
hours on numerous projects, and are now being re
cognized for their many achievements. The Auxil
iary feels that residents of Nashville and Vermont
ville should be proud too.. So, Hats Off to the Men!
...beauty,charm plus
automatic gas heating comfort!

eas including art, women's recreation, modern

Council attempts to
solve garbage mix-up
The Village Council met with Mt. Ed. Baker and
Mr. Dale Johnson from the Charlotte Disposal Com
pany during their last council meeting to try and
solve some of the problems facing Nashville cus
tomers. Mr. Baker says that due to an excess of
trash, paper and cardboard being sent with the gar
bage, they would have to insist on stronger restric
tions.
The Council decided starting February 1st, 1969
the limit for each family would be two 20-gallon
cans. These are to contain only garbage, cans and
bottles. If garbage is wrapped in paper and placed
in a paper container, this will be permitted. Any
' excess amount of paper will be refused. Paper and
cardboard should be burned if it can be taken care
of without violating the burning ordinance; other
wise it can be taken to the village-dump. The dump
is open Wednesday from 4:00 p. m. to 6:00 p. m.
and on Saturdays from 9:00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m.
The garbage collector reserves the right to reject
any can due to size or poor condition. If a citizen
is abiding by the rules and still not receiving satis
factory service please call the clerk, Mrs. Ada
Skedgell at 653-6006.

Our exchange student from Chile was quite upset
to see the snow go. When he fist arrived we had
plenty of snow but almost immediately it melted.
The other day he asked Amy if she thought we
( would have more snow before he went back to Chi
le. She assured him that he would see more snow
than he wants before he goes back.
He had a ball with the kids Sunday. They went
to Peck's Hill for a bit of sliding. He doesn't get
much of this at home.
These exchange students are very well trained.
They seem to fit right in with the host families.
Both of the boys in town, ours and the Pennock's
claim to like anything set before them in the way
of food. They are also willing to do anything we
suggest. I hope my own kids would do as well away
from home as these kids do.

Frequently the persons reading the reports are rare

1968 Police record
Nashville police records for the year have just
been compiled by Police Chief Donald Langham.
It is not a pretty record, but one the readers should
be aware of, for it does disclose the activities o f
the law breakers.
A total of 36 boys and girls in the " 10 and under
through 17 year" age group have been taken into
custody for committing offenses of various types.
These juveniles, for the purposes of Uniform'Crime
reporting, are counted as " arrested" when the cir
cumstances are such that if he or she were an adult,
an arrest would be made. A total of 25 children
whose cases were handled within the local depart
ment were released to the parents. Four other chil
dren were referred to juvenile court or probation de
partment; one was referred to the welfare agency,
and four to other police agencies. None were re
ferred to criminal or adult court.
Most appalling is the fact that the largest n u m ber of juvenile offenses dealt with marijuana or
other such drugs. Two 13-14-year-old boys, six 15
year-Old boys, five 16, and one 17-year-old boy
were involved Four children were picked up for
infraction of other narcotic drug offenses, includ
ing two girls in the 13-14 age bracket and one 15
and one 17-year-old boy.
Burglary (breaking and entering) offenses number
ed five. These were committed by one boy and one
girl ten years of age or vounger, and three boys
whose ages were 15, 16 and 17.
Five boys were involved in vandalism offenses.
One was in the 11-12 year group, one in the 13-14
group and the other three were 17 years old.
One boy in the 13-14 age bracket was involved
in a forcible rape offense; one 17-year-old boy
was picked up on a weapons (carrying, possessing,
etc.) offense; one 15-year old boy on a liquor law
offense; one 16-year-old boy for disorderly conduct,
there were four runaway girls--one each in the 13
14 age group, 15, 16 and 17 years of age.
The above cases do not include police "contacts"
with juveniles where no offense had been commit
ted. Nor do they include instances where juveniles
were taken into custody for his own protection, such
as "neglect."
Looking at tbe picture "agewise" the 15-year
olds committed the largest number of offenses-ten. The 16 and 17 year olds each committed
eight; the 13-14 year olds, seven offenses; the 11-
12 age group, one offense, and there were two in
the 18-and-under age group. In this instance the
damage done by the youngest children far surpass
ed that in the older groups so far as monetary val
ue was concerned.
Officer Langham’s report of persons 18 years of
age and over show that the 18-year olds comfaitted
the largest number of offenses, 15. Three males
and one female were involved in breaking and en
tering; one male for assault; five males for vanda
lism; one male for a liquor violation; three males
were involved in larceny cases and one female
was picked up on a miscellaneous offense.
For die next several age-groups the figures take
a sudden drop. Only two 19-year-old youths were
arrested, one for auto . theft and one for carrying
or possessing a weapon. The 20-year-olds also
numbered two, one for burglary, and another for
a liquor offense. There were no offenses listed un
der the 21-year-old youths, and only one in the
22-year list, and that for breaking and entering.
Only two 23-year-olds were arrested, one male for
burglary and another male for auto theft. Only
one 24-year-old male was picked up and that on
a miscellaneous offense.
Then the picture changes again. Four males
were arrested in the 25 through 29-age group,
three on larceny charges (other than auto) and one
auto theft. Six arrests were made in the 30-34 age
group. Included were two males on robbery charg
es, one for forcible rape, one for larceny other
than auto theft, one on an assault charge, and one
male and one female committed miscellaneous of
fenses. The other two arrests were for driving while
under the influence of liquor and included one
male in the 35-39 age group and one in the 50-54
^The record established in Nashville for 1968 is
far from pretty, but it does reflect police activities
for this Barry County village and its population of
1. 625 persons.
"While Nashville is typically thought to be a rur
al community, " said Langham, "we have the same
type of law enforcing ano law breaking problems
as our metropolitan neighbors. Emphasis must be
placed on the prevention of crime rather than con
centration on arrest after the crime is committed.
More guidance should be given before they come
to the attention of the police."
Residents protest rezoning
Two petitions, protesting the rezoning of the
James Erwin property on South Main Street, were
presented the Nashville Village Council Thursday
evening, One petition was signed by 36 residents
residing near the Erwin property. The other peti
tion. carrying 76 names, was signed by residents
living in other areas of the community.
Mr. Erwin had asked earlier that three lots ad
jacent to Quaker Creek be rezoned from residential
to residential-agriculturaL No reasons were given
at this time. Residents petitioned the council not
to rezone the lots, and in action last month the
council voted against rezoning. Then Erwin again
asked that the rezoning take place, stating that he
wanted to "raise one and no more than two ponies"
on the land.
The petition signed by the 36 residents stated
the following reasons for not wanting the land re
zoned: It is undermining the Zoning Ordinance;
would cause a large mud hole than already exists;
tbe pasture is inadequate to pasture any animals
properly; the fencing is inadequate to hold any an
imals forced to eat swamp grass, and they object
ed to offensive odors from the area which pasturing
one or two ponies might create. The second peti
tion gave no specific reasons for objecting to the
rezoning. The Council will take action on the mat
ter at the next regular council meeting scheduled
for Thursday evening, February 13.
John Wixson asked that a resolution be drawn
transferring the beer and wine license for the tav
ern at 107 N. Main Street from Gladys Wixson to
Mr. Wixson. Permission was granted.
The Council will ask the State Highway Depart
ment to put up "no parking^igm in front of the fire
barn and the adjacent building where the ambu
lance is housed.
Ed. Baker from the Charlotte Sanitation Service
was present to discuss picking up garbage within
the village. Presently there are a good many resi
dents unhappy with the garbage pickup, ana Mr.
Baker is just as displeased with the situation. After
a lengthy discussion it was decided that starting in
February only cans, bottles and garbage would be
picked up by the Charlotte outfit. All papers,
trash, etc., will have to be handled by the indiv
iduaL When tbe Charlotte outfit first came into
Nashville Mr Baker had said he would pick
up
"anything" he could handle, except large articles
such as old refrigerators, bedsprings, stones, and
the like. But at Thursday night’s meeting he said
"we'll have to back off, only cans, bottles and
garbage from now on. "
It is hoped that by the time of tbe Centennial
celebration in June a new drinking fountain will be
Installed in Central Park,
As a part of the summer recreation activities,
the council purchased some little league equipment.

Water and sewer extensions were discussed at
considerable length, along with raising the rates.
Probably in the near future a representative
~
from an engineering firm will be invited in to dis
cuss how tms can be accomplished. Other business
was routine.
CENTENNIAL CORRECTION:
To avoid confusion, a correction is given in re
gard to the Centennial Book. It was stated that the
Chamber of Commerce was responsible for the sellingof advertising for tbe Centennial Book.
The Centennial Committee is responsible for this
and is being aided by various organizations taking
part in the Centennial planning.
There is much enthusiasm for the celebration of
Nashville's Centennial in June. Many women already
have their Centennial dresses and the men are sport
ing beards, long sideburns, wearing top hats and
derby hats.
Shown below are Mike Appelman, Larry Decker
and Loren Dingman. Tbe smiles on their facet are
good indications of the fun they are having over
this occasion.

Planning Committee
needs citizen support
The Vermontville Community Planning Commit
tee met Tuesday evening at the public library at
7:30 p. m.
This committee was organized three years ago
and its purpose was to act as a clearing house for all
ideas on improvement and betterment of the com
munity. A great many things have been accomplish
ed, wnile some good ideas never got off the ground.
There is reason to keep this committee active, and
with the support and cooperation of the 23 organi
zations in Vermontville a happy success story for the
enjoyment of all citizens can be accomplished.
The committee has already been successful in
getting a history of the community written, and
through this a Historical Society was formed and a
Museum set up. Plans are now complete and the
program ready to be put into motion for a Welcome
Committee. An Emergency Service Center has had
the backing of the Planning Committee. This was
set up to assist families that had burned out or were
in need of articles because of other disasters. This
is open during the summer months on Friday after
noon and evening to sell the extras that are brought
in by anyone who had articles no longer needed.
Some of the ideas which have not been too success f ul up to now include bringing a drug store into
Vermontville, as well as filling other empty store
buildings. It is also hoped the three fine churches
in the community can be filled for each service.
These, as well as other projects need the coopera
tion and work of the residents at large.
A Community United Fund idea was also listed,
but nothing has been done along this line. Other 1
deas which could be carried out with proper back
ing are zoning and draining projects. The village
is to have a new sewage system, which will be a n
asset to the community.
Other good ideas which need pushing are replac
ing dead elms with beautiful maples.
Three years ago a Girl Scout troop was founded
and today it is going strong with eight adult lead
ers >nd 70 girls involved. The Boy Scouts have en

Local girl assisted
by Hastings Elks’ effort
Thanks to the Hastings Elks, Julie Snow, 7 daugh
ter of Mr, and Mrs. Homer Snow, 732 Sherman Street
Nashville, now has a respiration unit to assist her in
breathing. She also has an alternating mattress which
provides more comfort, during her sleeping and rest
ing hours, and this too was a gift from the Hastings
Elks.
Julie was born with a defect which has prevented
her from walking. A precocious child, with pretty
curls and big brown eyes, she was enrolled in the
Ann J. Kellogg school in Battle Creek. However,
because of the flu threat and long hours involved in
traveling added to the school day, was a little more
than she could cope with. Besides, she has been hos
pitalized three times since Thanksgiving. Although
Julie is only seven, she is capable of reading on a
ten-year level, and she writes very well, correspond
ing regularly with two brothers in the service, one
in Vietnam and one in Louisiana.
Julie is only one of seven youngsters now being
assisted through the Major Projects of the Hastings
Elks. The Major Projects division of the Hastings
lodge has been in operation since 1960. At that
time Elton Sanderson was appointed chairman, a po
sition he has continued to bold. To date.the Hastings

making plans for a fund-raising "fun-night" with
all proceeds going for the Nashville Centennial Cel
ebration.
This fund- raising event is being called "A Night
at the Casino” and will be held in the K. P. Hall a
bove Makers IGA Store, on Saturday evening, Feb
ruary 15th.
Tnere will be various games of skill set up and
these will be played using bogus money. All excess
winnings can be used at the auction at the end of
the evening.
All proceeds will be turned over to the Centen
nial Committee to help support the festivities in
June. All adults are invited to attend and take part
in this fun night. Refreshments will be available.
Tickets are available at the door. Additional infor
mation is available from members of the Maple
Valley Jaycees.
Flouride cards available
Cards and letters have been sent out to parents of
the children who will receive flouride treatments,
but many pre-schoolers are not on the list.
Parents of those children are asked to contact the
area chairmen, Mrs. Gene Mater, Mrs. William
Swift or Mrs. Dale Maurer. Extra cards are also a
vailable at the schools.
Elks have given assistance to 31 cases. Their work
has been to provide just about everything imaginable
for handicapped and underprivileged children Includ
ing dental care, dental braces, bearing aids, tonsil
and adenoids operations, medical care, foot braces,
and purchasing vitamins, just to mention a few. San
derson is being assisted by Thane (Tony) Young, and
their visitations to these various cases take them all
over Barry County and adjacent areas. There is no
case left unnoticed, if the Elks hear about them. Last
year the Hastings Elks spent $2, 000 in Barry County
alone, and they were rated second, per capita, in
Michigan, in helping children.
In the State of Michigan the Elks Major Projects is
in its 12fh year, and they have given assistance to
nearly 2, 500 children. Last year Michigan Elks spent
$120,000 and this year they hope to bring in
$125, 000 to be spent assisting children. They han
dle cases from birth up to 21 years of age.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Hastings Elks were
very active in giving aid also. They ranked first in
the State of Michigan, and also first in all lodges in
the 300 to 500-membership category.
Police Chief Langham
tenders resignation
Nashville's Police Chief, Donald Langham tender
ed Ms resignation to the village council on February
1, effective in 30 days.
Langham was named acting village marshal on Oc
tober 12, 1967, after the resignation of Robert
Parker. He was named Chief of Police on November
30 of that year. Prior to that time he had been serv
ing as Zoning Administrator for thfe village.
Listing among his reasons for quitting his position
were: No family life; improper sleeping habits, no
time off; no weekends, all due, he said, to the vil
lage requiring 90 hours a week and above working
time with the police department. He recommends
that'protection for the 1C25 citizens, plus the transi
ents, will require two full men, and possibly a part
time man, to adequately give the protection needed,
and he cannot see this in the future plans of the vil
lage government.
Mr. Langham feels he does not have the backing
of the village officials, and thaf'it is too much for
one man to handle with no apparent future cooper
ation or no 'relief in sight. ”
In summarizing his position Langham said: "Long
hours not properly compensated for, very little co
operation and understanding between citizens, Vil
lage Council and its police department, expecting
too much from one man and not bringing its police
department anywhere near the State, County, or
City level of one man per 750 to 1, 000 population”
were his reasons for submitting his resignation.

Overly cautious individuals create stagnation
Our economic productivity indicates the nation's
businesses health has lasted eight years. This may
be one of the longest periods our nation has not suf
fered an economic recession. This length of contin
ual prosperity has caused many individuals to b e come concerned about the coming months and years.
In certain extreme cases some individuals hoard
money under mattresses. They feel the coming de
pression will be worse than the last depression. They
also believe no banks will be able to survive, even
with federal government's federal deposit insurance
"Legislature discriminates
against handicapped children"
At its January meeting m East Lansing, the Mich
igan Association of Administrators of Special Educa
tion expressed grave concern over what it described
as inequitable state support for educational programs
for handicapped children.
Association President, David Barrett of Jackson
stated that the State aid formula developed by the
Legislature for handicapped children has, in effect,
been rendered meaningless by an arbitrary ceiling on
financial support by the State, without regard for
increased numbers of handicapped children served or
actual program costs.
State aid for the 1967-68 year was over 2 1/2 mil
lion dollats short of meeting the basic formula share
of the cost. The Michigan Department of Education
estimates that the shortage will range from 6 to 10
million dollars for the current school year (1968-69).
Association spokesmen expressed fear that the ceil
ing would lead to a reduction in programs for hand
icapped children and could mean that some would
no longer be able to attend school.
Dr. David Haarer of Ingham Intermediate School
District, indicated that without additional financial
support, Ingham County Programs for handicapped
children (Lansing Area) will need to be cut in half
for next year. A similar situation exists in the Le
nawee Intermediate School District. According to
Special Education Director George Eidson, staff
members in that district have been notified that
without increased financial support, all Special Ed
ucation staff positions, other than teachers of r e tarded children, will be eliminated next year.
Barrett indicated that these are not isolated prob
lems, but are representative of the general situation
throughout the State. He pointed out that the ceil
ing placed on the reimbursement of programs for
handicapped children is inconsistent with reimburse
ment for non-handicapped children, where the
state pays in full its obligation per formula.
The Association is urging the Legislature to a p propriate supplementary funds in order that
the
State may meet its obligation to handicapped chil
dren by providing sufficient State aid for the cur
rent year's program.
Walter Wend, Director of Special Education for
Berrien Intermediate School District, said that
while a few Legislators had indicated that they
would support a deficit appropriation for special ed
ucation programs and removal of the financial
ceilings, he expressed doubt that legislators would
take action witnout a strong expression of concern
by interested citizens.
Donald Scott, Director of Special Education for
the Eaton Intermediate School District, reported
that because of the ceiling on special education,
the Eaton Intermediate School District stands to
lose$114, 800. 00 in state support of special educa
tion. This means that this loss will have to be ab
sorbed by local districts and the intermediate school
office and has serious implications for the growth of
special education in the county. It seems incon
ceivable that the Legislature has chosen to add an
other ■ burden to mentally, physically or emotion
ally handicapped children by placing a ceiling on
the funds allotted for their education according to
Scott.

programs. They have no faith in the government's
ability to save the banks in time of need. Tremen
dous amounts of losses were suffered in 1929 during
the bank holidays. As a result, these old depression
minded farmers feel city-slick bankers today are no
more honest than 1929 bankers.
This negative type of thinking will cause tremen
dous amounts of economic chaos in our society.
One's attitude to economic recessions is no different
than one's attitude towards physical illness. We
have to be careful with our diet and physical exer
cise. There is no use, however, for us to expect to
be sick or to die all the time. If we have so much
fear of death and illness and economic depression,
our life is not worth living.
Overly-cautiousness is usually started by a few
negative-thinking individuals. They usually will
lead us from a national epidemic to an economic
disaster. If individuals were to.take money out of
the bank, hoard it in basements, consumers boycott
all goods and all industries and expansion plans, ec
onomic chaos would ultimately result.
We individuals as citizens have to renew our faith
in our free enterprise system. We must look forward
with an optimistic attitude, in order for our eco ».
nomic system to survice.
Dear Mr. Boughton,
For the past few months I have read and heard/about the committee meetings and plans for the Nash
ville Centennial to be held in June.
I also read in your last week's paper an article of
the police records of the past year. It was shocking
to read of the many young people involved in crime.
To me and I am sure there are other parents that
feel the same way I do, that the money that is be
ing spent on advertising for the Centennial as well as
derbys, top hats, ties, vest, gowns, gartets, etc. as
well as paying a $1. 00 toward having your name in
the Centennial Book, could be put to better use than
this.
I have not invested any money in this venture nor
do I intend to. I think for Nashville to have celebrat
ed their Centennial quietly would have been far ni
cer and puttingthe money that is being spent on this
Centennial into a building or youth center. There
isn't or has there ever been anything for our young
people to do, but get into mischief. Unless some
thing is done soon, it will get much worse. The 1968
Police record was printed in The State Journal and
many of the fellows that work at the shop in Lansing
saw the article in which a small town of 1625 per
sons could have so much trouble.
How many others feel the same as I do.
Sincerely,
Irene Main

to:
Spending and taxes, the two issues which customingest, strongest debate because

dents.
Education, including tex aid to parochial schools
and increased appropriations to state-supported col

Public employee strikes and how to prevent them.
Special consideration will be given to teacher
school board problems in an effort to avert a class
room crisis next fall.
Public welfare programs, which this year cost the
state $229 million. A joint Senate-House committee
study of the entire welfare structure is expected.
Crime control, on the state's streets and at the or

prepared a list of proposals ranging from motorcycle
gang crackdowns to redefining the use of electronic
bugging devices to higher pay for county prosecutors.
Labor, including an AFL-CIO bid for a $2 per
hour minimum wage law, with overtime pay for
work in excess of 40 hours.
Medical law changes in the areas of human organ
transplants and abortion restrictions. A Senate com
mittee headed by Sen. N. Lorraine Beebe, R- Dear
born, has been investigating this field.
Traffic safety, with legislation to lower the blood
alcohol level at which a driver is legally presumed
drunk and tougher restrictions on incorrigible driven
as the major items.
The new session is the fiat split Legislature in
Michigan since 1937. Democrats control the bouse,
57-52, with one vacancy due to the recent death of
Rep. Frederic J. Marahall of Allen; Republicans the
Senate, 20-18.
Leaders of both chambers anticipate at least a
semblance of bipartisan cooperation on the outset
but admit many legislators will be maneuvering for
position in the 1970 general election as the session
wears on,
A new Governor and House are to be elected in
1970, and Republicans fear that Democrats, with
their majority in the House, will try to use their leg
islative power to create campaign issues.
Gov. George Romney's adieu to Michigan's was any
thing but soft-line. He triggered widespread reaction
by proposing Michigan's parochial schools consider ’
leaving secular education to the state.
In his farewell message to the people, Romney said
it could be too expensive a proposition to ask taxpay
ers to support both private and public school systems.
He also said the Governor, with consent of the Sen
ate, should appoint Justices of the seven-member
State Supreme Court and Judges of the 12-member
Court of Appeals.
The same procedure, he added, should be used to
name members of the State Board of Education and
the governing boards of the University of Michigan,
Michigan State and Wayne State Universities.
The judicial vacancies now are filled by nonparti
san elections, although Supreme Court justice* are
nominated by party conventions. Candidates for the
education board* run in partisan, statewide elections.
HEAD START
Michigan's legislators convened their 1969 ses
sion, and oraced for some hard multi-million dollar
decisions in the weeks ahead.
As is customary, the first days were devoted to
organizing, adopting rules and formally selecting
leaders. Plenty of fireworks looms on the horizon.
More than 1, 500 bills to eliminate, or alter ex

With improvements planned in Nashville and Vermontville telephone service, certain changes in
charges, shown in the box below, are being presented to the Michigan Public Service Commission
for approval.
MWUm
GAS INCINERATOR
NEW BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT
In March, 1969, a modern dial central office in one new building will be ready to serve both our
Nashville and Vermontville customers. The building has been constructed and the new equipment
is now being installed.
BETTER GRADES OF SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE NASHVILLE AND
VERMONTVILLE EXCHANGE AREA
Th«*E«*y. Cloan, Saf*.
Low Coat Way of Diopo*<ng
of Food Wasta and Trash'
As a further improvement we are adding more lines and equipment throughout the Nashville and
Vermontville exchange areas to provide better grades of service in place of 4-party residence service.
Therefore, it will be necessary for all 4-party residence customers to upgrade their service to either
1-party or 2-party residence service. If, however, their location is in the outlying area, where rural
service is offered, they may choose to have rural service.
Until such time as facilities become available for the higher grades of service, customers with
4-party residence service could retain their services at their present locations. However, if the
Commission approves our proposal, 4-party residence service would not be available for new
applicants nor to present customers moving to new locations.

CHANGES IN CHARGES
(Amounts Shown Do Not Include State and Federal Taxes')
THROUGHOUT THE NASHVILLE AND VERMONTVILLE
EXCHANGE AREA
4-Party residence customers changing to 2-party flat rate service would pay 60^ more
per month for the better grade of service. They also could select Budget Service, for
25^ less per month than their present basic rate. (See Note below).
IN THE RURAL AREA OUTSIDE THE BASE RATE AREA
In addition to the above change in basic monthly rates, if they are 4-party residence
customers changing to a better grade of service, and are in the outlying rural area, they
would also receive an increase in their Rural Zone charge as the Rural Zone charges are
higher for the better classes of service. The amount of increase in Rural Zone charges
would depend upon their location and would range from 25f to $2.50 per month for 4-party
residence customers changing to either 2-party flat rate or Budget Service.
If, however, they do not wish to change to the higher grade of service, they may sub
scribe to rural service at 75/ more per month than they now pay for their basic service;
however, no Rural Zone charges will be applied.
NOTE: Budget Service is a 2-party message rate service at $2.25 per month with an
allowance of 20 local messages per month. Additional local messages at 8.4/ each.

State Representative Stanley M. Powell (R-Ionia)
has received his committee appointments for the
next two years in the Michigan House.
Powell will serve on the House Consumers and
Agriculture, Revision and Amendment of the Con
stitution, and Towns and Counties committees.
Rep. Powell is a veteran of all three of his com
mittees, and served as Chairman of the Towns and
Counties Committee for the past two years.
While satisfied with his assignments, Powell vig
orously protested the move by majority Democrats
to rename the Agriculture Committee, now called
Consumers and Agriculture. Powell has served on
the committee ever since he was first elected to the
Legislature.
"Obviously Democrats are trying to give agricul
ture, Michigan's number two industry, an insignifi
cant place in legislative considerations, " Powell
charged. "They nave packed the majority positions
on the committee with Detroiters who have no know
ledge or interest in the critical problems of rural
Michigan. I intend to do what I can to prevent this
callous attempt to plow under the needs of our agri
cultural community. "
Powell, a former delegate to the Constitutional
Convention, retains a keen interest in the docu
ment he helped to write and said he is pleased that
he will continue his membership on the Revision
and A mendment Committee.

help and cooperation during
the month of January while I

down that icy hill backwards,
but it so necessary when we

COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO
VOLUME 9ti
10 Cents a Copy
' THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1969
NUMBER -88
Historical Society to meet
Shown here is Gary Foote, Jaycee V ice-Presi
dent, discussing the events of the Winter State
Board Meeting of the Michigan Jaycees with State
Jaycee President, Bob Padget.
Young men of action
Gary Foote, Nashville Jaycee, attended the Win
ter State Board Meeting of the Michigan Jaycees
held in Detroit on February 7 and 8, and sponsored
by the Farmington and Southfield chapters of the
Jaycees. Over 4. 000 Jaycees and their wives at
tended from the entire state.
Highlight of the weekend was the selection of
the five outstanding young men of Michigan for
1968. These men were chosen for their contribu
tion to their communities through their participa
tion in social, church and governmental activi
ties.
The Michigan Jaycees are composed of over
12, 000 young men from every walk of, life. From
Detroit to Houghton, Vassar to Grand Rapids, these
men contribute their time, talents and efforts to
make their communities a better society in which
to live.
Inner City parks, Christmas parties for orphans,
packages for soldiers in Vietnam and Soap Box Der
bys are just a few of the activities to which the
Jaycees devote their time. Always looking for new
ways to improve their towns, the Jaycees will al
ways be ready to step in and help out when the
community calls.
The Michigan Jaycees are truly, "Young Men
of Adtipo."
Maple Valley Board members
vote to buy four school buses
The Maple Valley School Board, at the regularly
scheduled meeting, Monday evening, passed a reso
lution that all regular scheduled athletic events shall
be postponed on days when it is impossible to have
school in session because of weather or road condi
tions. This is with the exception of state sponsored
school activities, 'Such as the high school athletic
tournaments. The rule will go into effect immediate
ly.
Occasionally in the past the athletic teams have
participated in the evening after school had been
closed-for the day because of bad road conditions. It
was the feeling of
Superintendent Wolff and the
Board that on days when the conditions are such that
school cannot be in session, it would not be proper to
expect the athletic teams to go to the school, or be
bussed to another school for a contest.
The Board also decided that the one day originally
planned for in-service training of teachers in Febru
ary be used for regular school sessions instead. It was
the feeling of the Board that because of the time al
ready missed because of the weather, it would be too
bad for the students to miss more time.
The Board, in further action, accepted the resigna
tion of Mo. Lynn Suida, speech correctionist. Mr.
Suida teas accepted employment out of the area and
they will be moving March 14. Mr. Wolff said Mrs.
Suida has done a fine job and that it will be difficult
to replace het.
>
.
They also resolved to offer a contract to Mrs. Joan
Kent who has taken over the sixth grade at Kellogg
School as of January 20th.
In further action the Board accepted the low bid of
113, 916.12 for four school bus chassis. The low bid
was from the International Harvester Co. of Lansing.
The January meeting of the Barry County Histori
cal Society was held on the 16th in the Hastings City
Bank meeting room. Mr. Lewis Godfrey gave a very
interesting talk on the history of the Wniskey Run
Tavern and the settlement of the surrounding area.
A surprise to everyone present was his sharing of sev
eral letters written by a soldier of the Civil War to
his family who had left their home in Ohio to settle
in the area around Whiskey Run. These letters are
excellent in their description of the activities of the
outfit and his queries as to the nature of his family’s
new home are most interesting.
'
The February meeting will be held on Tuesday,
February 18, at 7:30 in the All-Purpose Room at
Northeastern Elementary SchooL A film on Colonial
Williamsburg will be shown before a combined meet

Lee Christopher tells me that he has had a real
course in history since he started to grow his beard
for the CentenniaL Lee's beard consists of mutton
chops, sideburns that come down and connect with
a beautiful, lush, reddish-brown moustache. Lee,
who did not pattern his facial covering after anyone
in particular, said that after it became recogniza
ble, people would look at him and try to recall who
he put them in mind of. He said they'd go through
great mental gymnastics before they came up witn
the fact that he looked like a former president of the
United States. For the life of them, none of them
could remember "which" former president.
After this had happened a number of times, Lee
did some research on former presidents. He got pic
tures of every one of them and he discovered that
his beard did, indeed look somewhat like one of
the former presidents - Chester A. Arthur. Now,
whenever someone tells him that he looks like a for
mer president, Lee says, "Yes, Chester A. Arthur. ”
But, he said, most of the people refuse to believe
there ever was a president named Chester A. A r thur, Lee figures President Arthur's only claim to '
fame were ms mutton chop sideburns that connect
ed with a moustache.
I have talked with a number of my Bearded bud
dies and we think we have discovered something a
bout having a beard. People seem much more open
in discussions with people who have beards than with
clean-shaven folks. Why this is, I don't know. Per
haps they figure that anyone with a beard is a bit of
a kook and that kooks are a little more apt to talk
to total strangers and perhaps be a little more recep
tive to conversation from total strangers.
Lee said that on numerous occasions strangers
would walk up to him to give him this bit about "You
look just like a former president." He said they also
ask him, "Why don't you grow some hair on your
chin?" Lee has no particular reason for not growing
hair on his chin, he just didn't do it. The thing is,
though, that many people do, right out of a clear
sky, walk up and talk to a man with a beard. Gen
erally, the conversation starts out with a remark a
bout the beard. This is good and I rather enjoy it.
There seems to be no middle ground about oeards
either; people either like them or dislike them. Very
few people say, "I can take it or leave it alone. "
In the little time that I have had a beard I find
that my friend's remarks are quite extreme. It is
Letter to Editor
Letter to the Editor,
Something can be done about the youth of Nash
ville, but it isn't a building. We've seen such good
intentions literally destroyed by youth.
What we need are volunteer adult leaders and
helpful parents to carry out such-existing programs
as 4-H, scouting and Sunday School teachers. It's
the "I'm too busy’' parent that could volunteer to
help the youth learn by doing something constructive.
I, for one, am going to support the Centennial for
the closeness it brings the "interested in doing some
thing" people of Nashville, With some success there
should be a large enough attraction to bring in money
from out of town and maybe some left over for a
youth project.
Also let this letter commend the excellent school
sports program in basketball from Sth on up. Thanks
to those adults who spend many extra hours for our
kids.
Sincerely,
Dorothy Swift.

either "I like it," or "I don't like it. " Just this week
end I had one real nice lady tell me I looked terri
ble, while another one remarked that I looked very
distinguished. I prefer to accept the second analysis.
Another thing I have discovered is that most of the
men that I have talked with admit that they would
like to grow one themselves; they just, don't have
the nerve. As a matter of fact. I’m in that category.
For years before I grew this thing, I had the desire
to grow one, but I always wondered what I would
say to someone who said, "Why are you growing itT
"Darned if I know why!" I just would not have an
answer. Because I'm vain, and I think it makes me
look nicer? Probably the reason, but I'd hate to ad
mit it. Because it makes me look distinguished? I
probably think this too. Then again. I'd hate to ad
mit it.Because I’m a kook and would just like to do
something a little bit different? Again, this is areason. Of course, not a reason that one accepts. The
simpliest thins to say is, "Because it's a Centennial!"
You grow beards for a CentenniaL People will ac
cept a beard for a CentenniaL I guess they won't
accept it on a basis of vanity of just "What the heck,
I want to grow one" attitude. At any rate, when
the village centennial is over, I might just keep
this. As Lee Christopher said, it is kinda fun to have
people talk to you. It's kinda fun to have people
ask about it. Yes, I might just keep it and if any
one asks the reason why, I can tell them it is a
Centennial - not the centennial of the town any
more, but my own personal centennial which is
coming-up awful darn fast now.
Our foreign exchange student from Chile, Patri
cio, keeps asking when it's going to snow some
more. In San Felipe where he and Jorge Martinex
come from, they occasionally see snow, but that's
about it, it doesn't last. So tney're both real car
ried away with just a bit of snow. Amy and I a s sured Patricio that there will be plenty of snow be
fore he takes off for home sometime around the first
of ApriL As a matter of fact, we may have it in ApriL When I stop to think of it, though, we don't
have too much time for snow despite what the
ground hog said. It is almost time for the sap to
start running. Once the sap starts running, I think I

for the Nashville Centennial celebration. He went
on to say that he had plans for that occasion, and
then he adds, " In case I should happen to live so
long. "
He is happy that his dream is about to come true.
Now then, Don also added that he has admired from
afar, the beards in town and he looks forward to see
ing them close up. He sayd they'll probably be
more impressive during the celebration.
AHI can say to Don is that, as a loyal citizen, or
perhaps ex-citizen, of Nashville, he, too, should
grow a beard though I'll be darned if I know how
he'll explain this to the people of Battle Creek.
"AS I SEE IT” ’

Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency
(
It is not a crime to be rich
It is totally a wrong misconception for today's
youth to associate the rich with corruption and/or
age with reactionary. It is the news media's duty to
bring forth some facts to change this concept So
many slogans and so many people try to convince
the small businessman and wage earner they will
never be millionaires with today's taxation and
strict governmental regulation*. In some other cases,
big business is blamed for totally locking up the
market There is no way for the small businessman
to survive.
It is true many cases support these view*. Howev
er, on the other hand, we must realize this nation
has created more millionaires from 1958 than any
previous decade. We have seen the growth of Xerox^
We have seen the electronic industries become Wall
Street favors. The Holiday Inn enterprise ba* a total
combined figure of rooms which amount* to more
than many of the so-called old, established hotel
chain*. Space industries and multi-billion dollar
land development ventures are being undertaken by „
young free enterprisers. During the last five years I
nave attended many mutual fund conferences and
institutional investment seminars where the back
bones of each industry lay with young, energetic
and wise investment advisors. In their concept, the
British Empire prospered with blue chip stocks. Their
prosperity rests on their past achievements.
The investment philosophy today, however, must
look into future potentials, No industry and no i n dividual's company can bask in their past glory. In
the last ten-year period if an individual purchased
$10, 000 worth of growth stock, such as IBM, Xerox,
Occidental Petroleum, Litton Industry, City Invest
ment or Clark Oil Company, the stocks have since
multiplied: and investor* have been rewarded. A
prime example is Xerox where a $10, 000 invest
ment in 1958 values $1,700, 000 today. Another ex
ample is Clark Oil where $4 a share in 1965 amounts
to $48 a share today.
In today'* standard it is not too difficult for a jun
ior executive to accumulate five or ten thousand
dollars in a period of three or four years. If he i n vest* properly for a period of ten to twenty year*
with the proper guidance, there is no reason he had
to commit a crime to have become rich. In this
free society we have made millionaire* in the 1800*
early 1900* and late 1900*. If our system survives,
we will make many more millionaires in the year
2000. To be rich is nothing to be ashamed of pro
vided one will utilize one** wealth to provide more
jobs, build better schools and better hospitals, raise
higher living standards through our free enterprise
system and preserve our individual's inventive. Our
nation's future will then be unlimited.

�Good nutrition is vital
(Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe
cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society,
Michigan Association of the Professions.)
foods in season, there is so little loss of nutritive
value by the modern methods of preservations that
canned and frozen foods can be used with confi
dence.
Thomas Edison, the inventive genius, considered
careful eating as a necessary aid to a useful life.
He warned against overeating—claimed it was hab
it forming.
In the opinion of some doctors and nutritionists,
three square meals a day may be the ruin of you.
They say children seem to know instinctively when
and what to eat. They even suggest that someday
man may live by "demand feeding" and the con
ventional lunch hour will be replaced by short
"food breaks." Children and teenagers often get
hungry or "run out of gas" long before a meal. For
them snacking is acceptable - snacks should be nu
tritious, sort of a "junior" meal and not simply a
sweet treat.
Incidentally, the world’s biggest eaters aren't
Americans. We rank sixth following the Irish, the
Danes, the New Zealanders, the Swiss and the Aus
tralians. And most people in the world spend half
their incomes for food. In the United States it's on
ly one-fifth.
Our food likes and dislikes are often keyed to our
emotion. Our eating habits are conditioned by our
culture, religion, parents, and friends rather than
the taste or quality of the materials consumed.
We use the consumption of food as an emotional
outlet too. -During emotional stress many people
turn to such security foods as milk products. Disap
pointment or frustration might lead us to seek re
ward foods in the form of candy, hot dogs or choc
olate. Overeating may result from anger, resent
ment or anxiety. Slow eating is sometimes said to
be an expression of dependency. Rapid eating can
be a sign of fear and insecurity.
Food eaten in an atmosphere of love and under
standing is certainly accepted and digested more
readily.
Except for total calories, people 60 years of age
and over have the same nutrient requirements of
people in middle age. Caloric requirements d e crease with age because of a reduction in the me
tabolic rate and a gradual reduction in physical ac
tivities.
The less food one consumes the more important
it becomes to choose food wisely. The preferred
wav to reduce weight is to cut down on the amount
of food consumed. One should cut down, not cut
out.
Eating habits have a social aspect as well. While
it is technically feasible to produce low-cost nu
trition foods, it is not economically practical for
the food industry to attempt this kind of solution
to resolve the nutritional problems of the poor.
Foods promoted for poor people would be consid
ered low-prestige and no matter how nourishing,
not be popular. A recurring fact revealed by dietary/urveys is the realization that certain foods
are cohsioered to be "high-prestige" or "low-pres
tige" foods. At the first opportunity, low income
groups will purchase high-prestige foods even
though they may be less nourishing than the foods
to which they are accustomed to eating!
Yes, food is a status symbol too and apparently
one we live by!
An old proverb states that "whatsoever was the
father of disease, an ill diet was the mother. “ Good
nutrition is vital to our physical and emotional well
being. It gives us the vigor we need both to carry
on, to enjoy our daily activites.
No single food will provide all of the nutrients
needed. Variety, in the idett is
' the
’ surest way to prop
nourishment.'

In general, what is good food for the businessman
is good food for the athlete. No magic foods can
produce super power or agility. The same meat,
milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads
and cereals are fundamental to the health of every
person. Every meal is important, one no less than
the other.
Good homemakers keep trying different foodsand
methods of preparation in order to keep the family
from being bored. There is nothing sacred about the
conventional American breakfast of juice, toast,
eggs, cereal or pancakes, for example. Simple
sandwiches may be a welcome change, or a small
steak or chop. And although we may prefer fresh

The kids from the Y. E. S. have had a couple of
very fine films that they have shown, and they hope
to have more. Saturday night's show was "The
Mouse that Roared" ,4nd was very good. The unfor
tunate thing about the showing though was that so
few showeo up for it. Of course, it was on Saturday
night and few people knew about it, but the film
was well worth while.
Amy and I went over to East Lansing to see "Lion
in Winter” which is a most unusual film. This one I
would recommend very highly.
Patricio, our exchange student from Chile, gave
a little talk to the Lions Club on Monday night.
These kids are fine representatives of their country
and are doing a good job of being ambassadors while
they are here. I nope our boys and girls would do as
good a job if they were in Cnile.
These last few evenings the sun has been bright
way past six o'clock and in the morning the birds
are singing just like spring is coming back to our
land. This is always a good time of year, when the
sap starts to run and young men's fancies turn to
thoughts of love. Young girl’s fancies too, I guess.
Because Michigan voted not to go along with the
daylight savings people this year, we are going to
have sunset a bit earlier and dawn a bit earlier too.
One nice thing about it is that we will be able to
see the late show before it is too late to see it.
Johnny Carson will come on at 10:30 which will
give some of us early to-bedders a chance to see his
Siow. Some of us might even be able to stay up late
enough to see the late-late movie -- whatever that
is. The drive-in movie people will be glad about
the decision to stick to standard time.
My daughter, while discussing guns and fast draws,
came out with an observation which never occurred
to me. You never see a left handed cowboy. Now
that I think of it, I guess I never have.

American Government Day was held February 4th
at Olivet College. Over 400 students attended. Ma
ple Valley sent 101 juniors and seniors. The juniors
were hosts and hostesses. A few ideas brought back
from our resource people were:
1. Community education does pay off. We c a n
get to know other people in foreign lands.
2. There are still many conflicts between local
and State governments.
,
3. The most serious moral problem in dur local
areas is drugs.
4. Many juvenile problems are caused by
dly
breakdowns.
5. DDT is the most serious offender amon our
pesticides. There is no breakdown. The garefene
the largest user of DDT.
6. Welfare — money too freely given. Many
spend aid on extravagant clothes or take length]
trips. The panel felt something had to be done,
ton County spent $2, 000,000 last year on welfa
7. Michigan ranks 4th in the taxation rate.
8. A twelve month school year for high schc
in the making.
9. One third of all mental casrs are young p e o pie.
10. There is no legal age to say "you are now an
adult."
11. A twelve man jury will not be replaced by a
three-man jury. We need more courts to take care
of the back log cases.
12. You don't have a say in government unless
you get involved.

ing special reports on Congress from the Congress
ional Records. A few facts:
L About 800 pardons have been given to prison
ers by presidents since Truman. They have re-enter
ed society and are eligible for unemployment bene
fits. This results from work done while serving a
prison sentence.
2. India and Pakistan had the better harvest in
1968 than ever before. Means less aid from U. S.

in a world growing smaller day by day. "

BUILDING BATTLE"
Plans to build a new state Capitol could touch off
a bigger political battle than the debate 122 years
ago over moving the seat of government from De
troit to Laming.
Legislators on both sides are taking firm stands,
... and as the plan unfolds it seems certain that others
who want to retain the present Capitol, or a r e a gainst a $50 million expense for a new one, will be
drawn in.
- .
•
After two years of closed-door huddling over the
design, the joint legislative capital outlay commit
tee recently unveiled the new Capitol plan.
Designee by the Detroit architectural firm of
Smith, Hinctnnan and Grylls Associates, it con
templates a seven-level, four-building structure
covering the equivalent of four city blocks.
legislative, judicial and executive buildings
would form a "troika" atop a massive all-purpose of
fice structure four blocks west of the present CapitoL
Total space would be 850,000 square feet.
There would be no traditional dome but 185-foot
tower with a glass- enclosed observation deck at the
top would jut from a plaza area.
"We rejected the historical, traditional concept
of placing the functions of government under a class
ical dome as outmoded and not suited to our times."

said Sigmund F. Blum, one of the designers.
"Michigan is a progresive, dynamic state. The
people richly deserve a Capitol which expresses
those qualities. "
The legislative building, with House and Senate
chambers akin to the United Nations General Assem
bly Room, would be a large, shoe-box shaped struc
ture, with cylindrical spires breaking a smooth out
side design at the four cornets.
The judicial and executive buildings would be
smaller adaptations of this basic design with the all
purpose building spreading under all tne structure
like a massive underground control center.
Massive steps on each side of the project, describ
ed by the architects as " monumental stairs," would
rise from the basic plaza level, crossing the interior
courtyard to reach an upper plaza on which the sep
arate structures for the Legislature, executive office
and Supreme Court would stand.
The upper levels would include:
Senate and House chambers and galleries; legis
lative committee rooms, caucus rooms and service
facilities; and an individual office suite for each
legislator.

.
A courtroom for the Supreme Court, offices suites
for each justice, and offices and other facilities

The Governor's private office and ceremonial re

the entire executive office staff, including the Bur
eau of the Budget and other units of the Governor's
office.
,
_
•
The buildings would be framed in reinforced con
crete with an exterior of polished granite. There
would be no windows in the upper structures.
Director A. N. Langius of the State Building Di
vision estimated it would take up to five years to
construct the complex. He said the buildings would
contain the most up-to-date heating, lighting, ven
tilating, air-conditioning and communications sys
tems, including closed-circuit television. The all
purpose building would include a large auditorium
and cafeteria and 20 elevators for easy access to the
upperleveL
The first Michigan Capitol was located at Gris
wold, State and Shelby Streets in Detroit. In 1847
state government was moved to Lansing following a
stormy legislative session. The present Capitol was
opened in 1878.
Opposition is expected from forces who want to
preserve the 91-year-old Capitol for historical pur
poses.
Sen. Thomas L. Brown, R-Lansing. is expected
to lead the f i ght against construction of the pro
posed plan. He said the present building could be
rebuilt and enlarged for half the money needed for
a new structure.
One thing that everybody agrees on is the deter
iorating condition of the present statehouse. Jum
bled wiring, rickety elevators and dingy corridors
abound.
A section of the fourth floor has been condemned
by the State Fire Marshall, yet it is crammed with
legislative offices from which escape would be dif
ficult.

February — means spring?
If you think it's darker in the mornings nowadays
and lighter in the afternoons, you're right.
Hazel Losh, professor of astronomy at the Univer
sity of Michigan, notes that February signals a per
iod of transition from winter to spring.
At this time of the year the sun is ahead of our
clocks. The sun is not a steady timekeeper; it runs
slow and fast, alternately loitering and then forging
ahead.
The sun moves in a regular and predictable fash
ion; of course, but civi lization has to adopt its av
erage, speed rather than its actual speed as a basis
for clocks.
"We are in a season now when the sun is moving
fastest eastward along the ecliptic, delaying its ris
ing and setting as timed by the sun's average speed,"
Prof. Losh says.
•
One may think of the two suns--average and real
as men running a race. The mean or average sun
maintains a steady pace all the way aroundthe
year while the real sun falls behind and then puts on
a ’"ust of speed.
In February, our mean-time clocks are ahead of
the sun by as much as 14 minutes.
According to Prof. Losh, considering the correc
tion for the standard time belt, the net result is that
our afternoons are an hour and a half longer than
our mornings.
The sun does not cross the meridian—the midway
point of its daily path—at noon. Instead it is some
- 50 minutes late.
Prof. Losh notes that the bright planets are still
with us. On January 26, Venus reached its greatest
eastern angular distance from the sun and through
the telescope appeared at first-quarter phase like
the moon.
Since then, it has been dropping back toward the
sun, showing the crescent phase, with the interval
■ of its setting after the sun growing less and less.
" During the revolution of Venus around the sun,
it displays all phases just as the moon does," Prof.
Losh writes.
Since the sunset is coming later and later each
evening, the setting of Venus will also occur later
and later during the month.
Prof. Losh says Saturn is the bright object up to
the left of Venus. On February 19, the narrow cres
cent moon will pass close to these planets—two
degress south of Venus and five degrees nonh of Sa
I turn. Look for them in the southeastern twilight
coupled with the earthshine clearly visible oh the
moon.
Jupiter is rising almost due east around 9 p. m. Ju
piter is bright, but it has only one-tenth the brilli
ancy of Venus. Mars follows Jupiter by about four
hours.
The bright object in the southern sky is not a
planet. According to Prof. Losh, Siris, the bright
est of all stars, is shining almost directly south,
about one third of the way up from the horizon.

Fire completely destroys
trailer home and contents
Fire completely destroyed the trailer home o f
Otto Shaneck Jr., on Morgan Road, five miles
west of Nashville, Wednesday uight.
Shaneck, whose trailer home was located on the
farm of his father, Otto Shaneck Sr., said the oil
space heater in the trailer seemed to explode, en
gulfing the entire dwelling in flames. The structure
was completely destroyea with all of its contents.
No one was injured in the fire. It was a $1000. 00
loss with no insurance.
The Nashville Fire Department was summoned
about 9<45 but despite their immediate response to
the alarm, the trailer and its contents had been
consumed by the flames by the time they arrived
on the scene.
Will distribute new
area phone directories
Olivet College, which is observing its 125th An
niversary this year, will be featured on the covers
of the new Charlotte area telephone directories.
Russell H. Engelhardt, area manager for the Mich
igan Bell Telephone Company, said distribution of
some 13,000 directories will begin Saturday, March
one. The directories will be delivered in Charlotte,
Mulliken, Olivet and Vermontville.
A sticker on the new directory indicates that all
Vermontville-Nashville phone numbers are chang
ing on March 30, Engelhardt said.
The front cover of the area directory shows the
Charles Stewart Mott Academic Center at Olivet,
Engelhardt said. Portrayed on the back cover is the
tower of the historic Burrage Hall Library, a famil
iar campus scene.
Members of the Maple Valley Jaycee Auxiliary
will join the other Jaycee Auxiliaries in Michigan
in their attempt to collect Betty Crocker coupons
and perhaps purchase a Kidney machine that will
save the life of a Michigan victim of kidney fail
ure.
The 170 auxiliaries are attempting to collect
600,000 Betty Crocker coupons by June of 1970.
If they do this, the General Mills company has a
greed to reimburse the Jaycettes $3,000 for the
machine.
The Jaycee organizations have a statewide proj
ect to raise funds for kidney machine,- "Operation
Purchase. " The Jaycees in the Blue Water area suc
cessfully raised $3,000 last year to purchase an ar
tificial kidney for a 47-year old St. Clair father of
three.
Several artificial kidney centers in Michigan
are now training victims of kidney failure to treat
themselves on machines installed in their own
homes. Once the kidneys fail to function, a pa
tient must have regular treatment on a kidney ma
chine in order to survive. __
The cost of treatment in a hospital is $10,000 to
$15,000 per year, while home treatment costs
$3,000 to $5, 000 annually.
All members of the Jaycee Auxiliary will collect
the coupons. Those persons having coupons they
wish to give may contact a Jaycee Auxiliary mem
ber. Coupons may also be left at Makers and The
Security National Bank.

buckets are on the trees and the steam starts to rise
out of the roof of the sugar shanty, the warm weath
er can not be far behind.
Everyone says that this is just the kind of weather
that makes the sap flow. Nice warm days with a
sharp freeze in the night. A couple of weeks like
this and we should have a good season.
We went up to Charlevoix over the weekend. We
wanted to show Patricio what the northern part of
the stare looks like and we wanted him to see some
snow and skiing action. He did see some of those
things too. While they don’t have what they think
of as a lot of snow, they sure have a lot more than
we do down here.
We went out on the beach where Patricio found
an old broken sled and went sliding down the dunes
with it. He had a ball...
Then after seeing a whole weekend full of new
things we came back to Nashville to see the buckets
on the trees. This was something else new for Pato.
There seems to be quite a few people off to the
sunny south right about now, some for quick crips
and others for longer stays. We had a postcard
from Gladys and Ralph Richardson from Tombstone.
Arizona, and I understand they are really having a
fine trip. Of course, we miss seeing Harry Johnson
next door here - ne and his wife are off on a crip to
Florida. Also visiting in Florida and'other parts
south are Rose and Al Smith, Gale and Alice Keihl,
Doc White; Wayne and Ada Skedgell and three girls
took a quick trip down. Wilma DeCamp is back af
ter a trip south; Jerry and Loren Dingman and family
enjoyed a trip south.
The beards which adorn the Barometer this week
are just a start of what is to come. I intend to get
around in the next few weeks and to get pictures of
all the unusual beards in town. As I say... this is
just a start. You will notice one fellow who looks
like Chester A. Arthur, a couple who look like riv
erboat gamblers, a CoL Sanders, or Robert E. Lee
and some who look like I don’t know what. It is a
lot of fun though, and I get a kick out of the whole
thing.
The pictures were taken at a Centennial meeting
the other day. In addition to the pictures of the
men, I got a lot of good ones of the women of the
town all dressed up in their old time dresses. We
will be running them fjon time to time and from
now till the whole Centennial celebration is over.
Another sure sign of spring is the chuck holes to
be found in some of the roads. We are lucky . here
in Nashville, though. Our streets are better than
most. As a matter of fact. I don’t know of any
chuck holes in Nashville's streets. Potterville
though—that is a different thing. They have some
that jar vour teeth when you hit them. The other
day a fellow broke a driveshaft when he hit one of
their holes in the road.

Last Friday Mrs. Helen Hecker called the News
office to identify the two pictures we had in last
week’s paper.
In the top picture, the buggy with three men
show Dale Navue, the driver, who later was a bar
ber in Nashville, in the shop where Staup's Barber
Shop is now located. To hi right is Clair (Ab) Ma
son, printer and the third man is Ray Erland. He
and his father ran a lunch and poolroom.
In the picture of the float is Emmitt Everett re
altor and his two daughters, Marilyn and Madelaine
and they lived where Mrs. Mary Holman now lives.
The float was in the homecoming parade around
1912.
I understand there was a good turn-out a week
ago at the Open House in the Vermontville Library.
This was to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
opening of the Vermontville Public Library, accord
ing to Mildred Allen, Librarian. We offer our con
gratulations and wish them another successful 20
years.

The Vermontville firemen must hold somewhat
of a record. Last Saturday they held their 46th an
nual Firemen's Dance in the Opera House. Dale ,
Briggs said the turn-out was good and everyone ap
peared to have a good time. They use the money
obtained from these dances to help them with their
various projects and to help buy needed equipment.

"SLICE HOUSE"
A proposed constitutional amendment to reduce
the size of the Michigan House of Representatives
and revamp the state's legislative reapportionment
machinery has been sub-nltted to state lawmakers.
Understandably, it races an uphill struggle.
Key provisions include restructuring the controveuial state apportionment commission and desig
nating the State Court of Appeals as an arbiter o f
hassles which are sure to develop.
The measure was sponsored by 16 Republicansand
three Democrats. It takes a two-thirds vote of both
chambers to get the proposal on the general elec- ,
tion ballot.
Under the amendment, House membenhip would
■
be limited to four times the number of Congressmen
from Michigan. This would put the House total at
76 instead of the present 110 as Michigan has 19
US Representatives.
Senate membenhip would be continued at 38,
though any increase in congressional representation
would boost the number of senatorial districts.
The apportionment commission, the unit which
must realign the Legislature after every federal cen
sus, would be appointed-by the Governor and Sec
retary of State rather than the political parties. The
partisan breakdown, though, would continue at four
:
Democrats and four Republicans.
Michigan’s 1963 constitution created the first
commission. Its initial effort .at reapportioning
the Legislature resulted in a deadlock, and the
State Supreme Court ended up doing the job.
The proposed amendment, sponsored chiefly by
Senate Majority Leader Emil Lockwood, would pro
vide that the Court of Appeals would reapportion
fthe Legislature if the commission failed to do so.
And if the Appellate Court could not agrea on
... - proposals within 60. calendar days, then the Supreme
BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Court would again inherit the task.
If the constitutional revision were 'approved by
the people, the first reapportionment under it
would take place in 1974, based on the 1970 cen
sus.
Lawmaker districts would be as "equal in popu
lation as practicable,” with "due consideration" to
county lines, community interest and compactness
of territory.
SenatoB would still be elected for four yean and
Representatives for two years.
A stormy battle over the amendment is certain
in the House, where members frown on efforts to
cut their numbers.
NEW HOME - MAYBE
Gov. William G. Milliken might become the
first Michigan chief executive to live in an official
state-supplied mansion.
Lansing trucking executive Howard Sober has of
fered his palatial residence overlooking the Grand
River to the state fnee of charge, and the 'Senate
and House indicate they’ll gladly accept the gift.
The home itself is valued between $200,000 and
$400,000. It features motorized drapes, servants’
quartea, a four-car garage and hideaway bar.
There are 13 rooms arid five bathrooms.
A special committee of former governors will
raise funds to furnish the structure.
It was also announced that plans are under way
to construct a Governor’s mansion in the Capitol
Complex in downtown Lansing. But legislative
leaden say groundbreaking ceremonies are still
seven to ten yean away. The price tag cou’d go
as high as $1 million.

annual fee of $17.184 will be paid quarterly.
Zones 3 and 4, which includes Orangeville, Hope,
Prairieville, Barry, Baltimore, Johnstown and As
syria townships, at an annual cost of $11,500 will
be serviced by Henton-Smith Ambulance Service
of Delton.
The total cost per year of $28, 684 is a saving to
the county of approximately $32,000 over last
year's contract of $61,000.
Other bids rejected by the board were submitted
by the Girrbach Ambulance firm of Hastings for
$35,000 per year, the Bebler Ambulance Service
of Middleville for $10,000 and the Maple Grove
A mbulance Service at $5, 500 per year.
The man provisions of the new contract covering
ambulance service are that the ambulance opera
ton charge the users of the service a minimum of
$30 a call and $1 per loaded mile.
Finance committee chairman, Monty Bennett,
said, "The board's decision to set a minimum
charge of $30 represents our feeling that persons us
ing ambulance service should assume a greater
share of the cost, rather than the entire county pop
ulation. The
$30 minimum is within the limit
covered by Medicare and Medicaid. "
Bennett stated further that the new contracts ful
fill the county's obligation to provide ambulance
service; however, it is not the county board's intent
to discoutage anyone from operating an ambulance
in Barry County, he said.

Property taxation is an annual process. All home
stead tax exemptions must be claimed annually in
January, February, or the first week in March. Fail
ure to secure from the assessing officer the exemp
tion during the period mentioned will result in a
loss of the tax exemption for that year. Consequent
ly, it is most important that persons eligible for a
homestead exemption should not omit the execu
tion and filing or the annual claim. The necessary
forms and instructions for this purpose may be o b tained from their local assessors.
Any homestead which is eligible for partial tax
exemption on December 31 of any year will remain
eligible for the immediately succeeding year. This
is true, even if the senior citizen, serviceman,
blind person, etc., sells the property in January or
February of the calendar year, to a person who is
not eligible for any homestead exemption. While
the purchaser of the particular homestead receives
the benefit of a tax reduction, his reduced prop
erty tax burden for that year very well may affect
the amount that he is willing to pay for the proper
tyTherefore, a person entitled to a homestead tax
exemption on December 31 should claim it, even
though he sells the property in January or February.
Mn Wiessner, representing the Michigan Depart
ment of Treasury, Revenue Division, will be at the
Hastings County Building on February 28 and March
28, 1969 for the purpose of assisting taxpayers in
the preparation of their Michigan income tax and
intangibles tax returns. The nours are 9 a. m. to
12 noon and 1 p. m. to 4 p. m.
Under provisions of Act 281, P. A. of 1967,
(Michigan Income Tax) any person from whom a
greater amount has been withheld than is owed will
receive a refund. A return will have to be filed to
receive any refund. Early filing will expedite early
refunds.
Most persons who are required to file a Federal
income tax return will be required to file a Michi
gan income tax return. If a married couple files a
joint return for Federal income tax, a joint return
must be filed for Michigan income tax purposes.
The total number of exemptions must agree with
the total number of exemptions claimed on the Fed
eral tax return.
The individual may use either one of two forms,
..the MI-1040 or MI-1040A. Any individual desiring
to take a tax credit for property taxes paid on
homestead, taxes in gross rent of a home stead, city
income taxes or contributions to Mictugan colleges
and universities will be required to use the MI
1040. A properly prepared and signed certificate of
rent paid for homestead (Schedule MI-1040G) will
have to be attached to the MI-1040 by any taxpay
er who desires and is entitled to take advantage of
the provisions for a tax credit on taxes in the gross
rent of a homestead.

tax in excess of $100. 00 for 1969, which is over
and above amounts withheld, is required to file a
declaration of estimated Michigan income tax.

Our board quotation is "The things that the flag
stands for were created by the experiences of a great
people. Everything that it stands for was written by
their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of
sentiment, but of history. It represents the experi
ences made by men and women, the experiences
of those who do and live under that flag.' Woodrow
Wilson.
It is tax time. It is gripe and groan time. It was
Justice Oliver WendelTHolmes who said, "Taxes
are what we pay for civilized society. * It might be
interesting to sit down and list all the things you
get for the taxes you pay. The Seniors have just
completed the chapter on taxes.
We have two new records added to our depart
ment. One is the Dred Scott Decision and John
Brown’s Last Speech. The second record is The New
Freedom, Woodrow Wilson and Kennedy's Inaugur
al Address.

Alyce Bosworth and Dianne Musser brought sever
al film strips on the governments and trade in West

tures.
The American Observer had a long article on
Red China. A few interesting facts were: The Com

world's people. Red China asked for an opening of

suddenly withdrew. Population is 750 million Chin
ese people. The cultural Revolution was a flop.
The 3 rs are discouraged in schooL Agricultural

Eaton ladies attend
Humane Society meeting
Mis. Ozelma Shance of Potterville; president
of the Eaton County Humane Society and Mr*.Paulita Lisle of Potterville, vice-president, attended
the annual meeting of the Ingham County Humane
Society at the Civic Center in Lansing, February
fifteenth.
Mrs. Shelby Race of Lansing, president of Ing
ham County Humane Society, reported that the
expense of running the animal shelter last year
was over 54 thousand dollars. The society raised
nearly 30 thousand by Christmas appeal letters,
tag days, donations, membenhip and rummage
sales. The shelter handled over 18 thousand ani
mals.
Ingham County has a dog warden, also a town
ship warden, a city warden and an East Lansing
warden. The society hires three men and three
women to care for the kennels at the shelter.
Supervison Dorr Eckhart of Aurelius, Ted Fay
of Stockbridge, and Gerald Ernst of Lansing were
present. Mr. Eckhart told that Dean S. Trwby,
DVM, and John Quinn, DVM from the Michigan
Animal Control Center, went with the three super
visors to see the Kalamazoo Animal shelter which
cost 150 thousand dollars.
Because this entire area is growing so fast, they
decided that it would be a waste of money to add
a 20 thousand dollar wing to the present snelter,
which would only give temporary relief, and pro
posed that it would be cheaper in the long run to
build a new shelter for 100 thousand dollars.
The law states that a dog Census may be taken
yearly, but since incorrect information is receiv
ed, tne supervisors think it is a waste of money.
They would like to have a law that the owner of
a dog without a license would be given a sum
mons at once. At present, high school boys are
taking a census in part of the county.
Mayor Max Murningham of Lansing, presented
Mrs. Race with a 25-year-pin, as appreciation
for her years of service to tne organization, and
an engraved golden key to the city, on behalf of
the City of Lansing.

in Hastings by the last of March.
The Adult Clinic will operate in a manner simi
lar to the Child Guidance Clinic. Barry County will
have the services, one day a week, of a psychia trist, psychologist, a social worker and a secretory.
They will use the facilities at the Child Guidance
Clinic at 145 E. State Street, Hastings. Finan
cially, the Clinic will be started with no addition
al cost to Barry County. However, if the Clinic is
successful and is to continue operation, it will be
necessary for the Clinic to be partially financed by
County funds.
The Adult Clinic will accept referrals by com
munity agencies, physicians, lawyers, members of
the clergy, relatives, friends and self. Persons seek
ing services should be 17 years of age and
have
written consent by one of their legal guardians un
til they are 21. After 21, there is no conditional
acceptance.
The Clinic will serve as a treatment center and
also offer follow-up care after dismissal from men
tal hospitals. Eventually it is hoped that preventive
care may be offered. Treatment is given only to
people who are desirous of treatmeni.
On Thursday, March 13, at 8:00 p. m., room
182, at the Hastings High School, Dr. Cyril J. Cur
ran, Medical Director of the Kalamazoo Psychiat
ric Clinic at Borgess Hospital will speak about the

This service is the third of a series and will be
held Sunday, March 9 at 7:30 p. m. at the United

tance calls. Engelhardt said both communities will
be in the 517 area. Nashville is now in the 616 area.
Touch-Tone pushbutton service also will be avail
able in both communities. With Touch-Tone, call
ers can tap out numbers on pushbuttons instead of
twirling conventional dials.
"The main advantage of the new, optional ser
vice is speed, ” said Engelhardt. "With pushbutton
phones, callers can tap out numbers in two to five
seconds. Normal dialing time requires eight to 14
seconds. "
The new dial office, which replaces separate
community dial offices, is located at the corner of
Mason and Nashville roads in Vermontville Town
ship, halfway between Nashville and Vermontville.
Starting March 30, Nashville and Vermontville
phone users will need to dial all seven digits of a
number on local calls, Engelhardt said. On calls
outside the local calling area, callers in both e x changes will dial the numeral "1" first. Nashville
callers now dial 112 to gain access to the nation
wide dialing network, and Vermontville customers
dial Operator for long distance connections.
Engelhardt said customers in both communities
will receive dial cards containing their new phone
numbers approximately 10 days prior to the change
over.
Four-party service will be eliminated after the
changeover, he said. Four-party customers have
been offered a choice of one-and-two-party ser
Vice.
Coin telephones will be changed from a post-pay
to a pre-pay basis. Payphone userswill deposit
coins before dialing numbets.
New phone numbers will be listed in the 1969 di
rectories, which will be distributed earlier in the
month.
Effective March 30, customers in Nashville, Ver
montville, Charlotte and Eaton Rapids will call Michi
igan Bell's business office in Jackson for information
concerning their telephone service. The number is
1-789-9911. There is no charge.
Engelhardt urged Nashville and Vermontville cus
tomers to note new numbers for their fire depart •
ments. Directory Assistance (Information) and Re pair Service in the introductory pages of the new
telephone directories.

I have a joke, or at least I thought it was a joke,
which I give out with when someone asks me why the
whiskers. The stock answer I give these people is
that I have grown the bush for a centennial. I then
add -- my own personal centennial. This used to be
funny, at I thought it was, right up to Sunday. Now
for some reason, the answer no longer strikes me as
a big laugh. The reason being that I have just come
one year closer to my own personal centennial. Now
that I am well on my way to being a hundred yean
old, the'prospect no longer seems so comic.
The closer the town comes to its centennial though,
the more fun seems to be generated. People all o
ver town are getting into the spirit of the thing and
by the time the actual celebration comes off, every
one in town will'be going at it great guns.
March came in like a lamb this year... At least
it didn't come in with a snow storm and all kinds of
winter jazz like that. I hope this doesn't mean the
month is going to go out like a lion. Personally, I
would be nappy to see the spring come through right
now. These bright sunshinny mornings with the birds
singing are just my cup of tea.
The Chinese New Year has just come and gone. I
think we are in the year of the rooster. At least that
sounds logical.
.
Amy and I went to a Chinese New Years party last
week. Our friends, the Chiens have invited us to
such a dinner every year since we have known them.
I look forward all year to going to one of the Chierik
New Years dinners.
Well anyway, we went to this dinner and at the
party were a number of Chinese. One of the guests
asked Mrs. Chien if I was one of the Chinese. She
thought the beard made me look Chinese. Mrs.
Chien had to admit that I do look a bit oriental with
the beard. She was also kind enough to say I looked
like a scholar. Chinese scholars have beards.
It looked for a while there as if we were not go
ing to have any baseball this year. The poor •base
ball players were out on strike for a better pension
plan. With what most of them make in their life
times it is hard to know why they have to have a
pension plan at all. Most players not only make a
darn good yearly pay, but they have been known to
invest it wisely in all kinds of businesses that should
be able to provide for their old age.
It seems quite a shame that those who have the
most while they are working and therefore should
need less in the way of old age benefits are the ones
who get the most in the way of benefits. This seems
to be the way life is.... Them that has gets.
Last Friday I had lunch with my.two sisters, just
the three of us, and while we sat there having a
rather leisurely lunch, we remarked that this was
the first time in many years that we had been alone
together, without the in-laws. It gave us time to
talk a bit about family things —nothing important,
but just things that only the three of us would be
the least interested in. We all agreed that this was
good for us and that we should do it again soon.
As a matter of fact, I rather enjoy being alone
with my two brothers-in-law. The three of us often
sit and talk without the women and realize the
same benefits.
It is also good to be alone from time-to-time. So
much of our life is spent in close contact with peo
ple, always communicating, that it is good now
and then to get off alone, with no one else any
where near and just think, dream or perhaps just sit.
I sometimes think we complicate our lives with the
necessity of dealing with someone else constantly.
I sometimes think that part of the difficulty with
life today is that it is too full of noises -- talking,
motors, dryers, dishwashers, cars, etc., and that it
might be real restful to be able to ge* off alone in
the woods somewhere, where there isn't another per
son Within miles and just think... Nice work, if you
can get it...

SUGGESTS SOLUTIONS
A detailed prescription for curing the state's ur
ban malaise is set forth by the Michigan Welfare
League.
The 40-page document calls for a mixed bag of
tax law revisions, expanded housing authority loans,
creation of so-called new towns, and establishment
of a state urban affairs department.
The league, a statewide citizens' organization,
said the proposals are based on a 10-month study of
Michigan's housing and urban ills.
"The housing situation for low and moderate in
come persons remains one of the most critical prob
lems facing Michigan today," said Detroit attorney
George E. Bushnell Jr., chairman of a special
League study committee.
GREAT NEED
Immediate need for a minimum of 150,000 hous
ing units exists in Michigan, believes the League,
including 100, 000 in Detroit, the state's largest city,
by far.
It said the state has been building homes for low
income families at the rate of 25,000 per year, and
this is woefully inadequate.
Studies by other organizations after the 1967 D e troit riot underscored the urgent need for accelerated
housing programs in the Motor City.
The study showed that other Michigan cities, Lan
sing, Flint, Saginaw and Grand Rapids likewise have
an*acute shortage of decent housing available for
low-income persons."
TOUGH PROBLEM
Housing that can be described as safe, sanitary
and decent in Detroit and elsewhere is "either too
costly for them to afford, or unavailable to them be
cause of discriminatory housing practices, ” the
League added.
"Research by our university social scientists can
help develop cheaper and quicker methods and ma
terials for building housing, ” it stated.

EDITOR & PUBLISHERS
John and Amy Boughton
Here are the major ingredients of the League's
plan for solving the state's urban housing problems:
Revise and update the Michigan Housing Code
to make it more uniform and useful, especi
ally as regards availability of funds.
Establish "new towns" outside the big city
ghetto areas to permit development of self
contained communities with thousands of
housing units for families of all income levels.
Start a "land bank" program whereby the state
would acquire parcels of property and develop
them for housing purposes.
Create a state department of urban affairs to
make available tne environment of human ser
vices necessary for the adequate function of
families in low-income housing.
Revamp state tax laws to aid in housing reha
bilitation projects.
Increase the bonding power of local housing
authorities so they can build more housing un
its.
"Michigan's immediate and long-range hous
ing needs are massive," the League said. "They
can be adequately met only by a massive re
sponse. "
On a related front, Gov. William G. Milliken
announced his administration will be dedicated to
solving Michigan's urban troubles.
"The problem of the city are the problems of us
all, " he told the state Legislature in a special mes
sage, "Whether we live in the Upper Peninsula,Ben
ton Harbor or Detroit. "
Milliken said the cities of Michigan face a "short
age of resources" that the state could meet best if
the federal government begins to channel its funds
through block grants to the state.
First priority, he said, must go to "redirecting
our existing programs and improving them. " He
said the total general budget increase from therrate
general and restricted funds is 11 percent this year.

OPEN LETTER
from GEORGE H. VOGT
Dear friends,
One tiling a family should
not expect the funeral dir
ector to do is, to suggest the
cost of the funeral to be
selected. His advice may be
invited, but the decision
rests with the family. The
financial aspects must of
necessity be candidly dis
cussed , to avoid hardship and
to have complete understanding
by all concerned.
Pictured here in their Centennial outfits are the following: In
Christopher, in front, left to right: Mary Mason, Maude Ackett,
Darlene Hughes and Dorothy Swift.

Poison prevention measures
(Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe
cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society,
Michigan Association of the Professions.)
During the past three decades in the United
States, for those persons between the age of 1 and
6, the most common cause of death is accidents.
Among all accidents poisoning is a very impor
tant one. About 1400 deaths occur just from poison
ing and at least 2 million people require some med
ical aid for poisoning.
According to statistics there is a narrow age range
in terms of those most involved. Probably 90 or 95%
involve pre-school children. This is the age group
where you must keep the dangerous situation away
from the child, you can’t take the child away from
the danger situation. The toddler age group is very
inquisitive and they are not particularly discerning.
They get into literally anything and they inspect
it, tney feel it, they smell it, and they also taste
it If they can.
Children in the age range 6-12 have learned by
experience that there are certain circumstances
that you avoid, and it's interesting that the inci
dence of poisoning in adults is considerably higher
than among the teenagers.
The types of poison that are involved are com
monly found around the house. Medications are by
far the most frequent source of poisoning and the
single type of medication most commonly involved
is aspirin. Nearly 1/4 of all fatal poisonings i n volve aspirin when medications are the type of
poisoning involved.
Next to the bathroom, the kitchen is the next
most dangerous area, particularly under the kit
chen sink where many kids like to play with the
pots and pans. Unfortunately metal polish is kept
there. Hydrocarbons and related products are usu
ally stored in the’same place. These include kero
sene, sometimes gasoline, lighter fluid. Another is
the so-called pesticides - the weed killers and bug
killers. If these are strong enough to kill weeds and/
or bugs, they are also potentially strong enough to
kill a child.
In an emergency situation the most important
thing is to call a physician. However, if for one
reason or another this is impractical or impossible
the best thing to do is separate the poison from the
individual who has made contact with the poison.
If this is a poison on the outside of the body, or in
the eye, such as an insect spray or something of
this sort, washing with copious amounts of water or
soap and water is called for.
The most common poisoning is swallowing of
poison. In this instance you get the two apart by
inducing vomiting. The best ingredient to do this
is the finger - put the finger down the throat. This
can be helped along by giving the victim a glass of
milk or a glass of water immediately before you in
duce the vomiting.
There are exceptions to the desirability of induc
ing vomiting. Certain substances like the volatile
oils - kerosene, gasoline, lighter fluid - can be in
haled back into the lungs as they are being vomi
ted, and this can cause severe pneumonia. Another
exception is the groups of agents that are very caus
tic - strong alkalies or strong acids. These things
are caustic and by inducing vomiting the esophagus
or food tubes are re-exposed. Usually these acids
are adequately neutralized in the stomach and
ought to be left there.
Poison centers are places where information may
be obtained about household products that have
been ingested by an individual. There are more
.
than 200 poison centers in the United States which
Sve information either to the individual directly
volved or more usually to a physician who calls.
The most important things is for the patient or
parent to get to the center and to either take the
container that contained the poison or the package,
or the label. Obviously if the center has to analyze
the poison it can be very time consuming.
Here are eight good ideas for prevention:
1. keep the poisons that are involved out of the
reach of the children, under lock and key if pos
sible.
2. take an inventory of medicines and throw the
old ones away.
3. read all labels. If a child may have been ex
posed to a poisonous substance keep the container
and its label for reference.
4. do not store things such as gasoline in food
containers, plastic jars, pop bottles.
5. give only what has been prescribed by the doc
tor.
6. when using cleansing fluid - provide adequate
ventilation.
.
7. when using pesticides exercise care to avoid
contaminating food as well as avoid inhalation.
8. instruct children not to eat any type of plant
or other vegetation when they are inside or outside
the home without first obtaining adult approvaL

Although the Treaty of Paris tn 1783 formally end

in western forts to protect their fur trade. General
Anthony Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers in 1794

Wishing to remain at peace, the British agreed to
withdraw and Fort Mackinac was occupied by Amer

Know Your Newspaper Better
Dear Editor
Now This Is What I Think!
Did you ever write a letter to the editor?
It's fun to see yourself in piint. But actually, you're not writing to only the
editor. If he prints your letter—and he probably will—you are really writing to
all the thousands of readers of this newspaper. That's a substantial body of
readers, but don't let that scare you . . . write as if you were talking to just
one of them.
What Do You Write About?
Perhaps you are really mad at the editor
and want to tell him off on some opinion he
has voiced. Perhaps you can't contain yourself
any longer on some important local issue. Per
haps you just like to sound off now and then
on topics of current interest. Whatever you
choose, the "letters to the editor" column is your
opportunity to speak your opinions.
We Welcome Good Letters
In
writing them,
please follow the rules
printed ot the top of the tetters column. These
-: . *
.
rules ask that you keep your letters reasonable
in length*, reasonable in tone . . . free of de
famatory matter. Remember, the editor must
"boil down" your letter if too long, and will take
out statements that are libelous ... even though
the letter has your name printed underneath.
Plenty of Topics
HERI
It's really fun to write to the editor. We don't recommend that you became a

The Maple Valley Newt. Nashville. Michigan, Thursday. March 13, 1969
�Pennock Sugar Bush tapped for 80th year
1■
‘
The stately maple trees in the woods at the Wayne
Pennock farm, two miles south of Nashville on M
66, have been upped for the 1969 season, just as
they have been each year for 80 years, by members
of the Pennock
innock family.
It was back in 1889 that Wayne's grL_"_l
grandfather.
__ Cur
tis W. Pennock, with somewhat crude utensils, open
open-
ed the sugar bush at the back of the farm, hung the
buckets, and waited for the sap to flow. The first
boiling, probably in open pans, was handled in the
woods, then the syrup was brought to the house for
final processing by his wife, Alice. When their
children were old enough they also helped. The two
sons, Ralph and Arthur, along with their sister, Mary,
assisted with all phases of the work. The boys drove
the horses among the trees to collect'the sap, and
everyone worked long, hard hours,- often wallowing
through deep snow.
When the older Pennocks left the farm and moved
into Nashville, Ralph (Wayne's father) continued on
the farm. Eventually Ralph's family was old enough
to help with the syrup making, and Wayne, along
with his brothers and sister, served their apprentice
ship in the art of syrup making. Ralph Pennock is
now retired and spends his winters in Florida, while
Wayne and his family continue to make syrup. It is
still a family project, and Wayne's children can't
exactly remember when they first started helping in
the sugar bush. Now, in his second year in college
at Michigan State University, Rodney, 19, comes
home weekends whenever possible, and Bryan, 17,
a junior, assist their father while Lorraine, 15, takes
care of milking their 35 cows, and Elaine, 13, as
sists with the house work and gets the evening meal,
thus freeing her mother, Marion who handles any
phase of syrup making or packaging the finished
product. '
St. Patrick’s Day

Music by Gale’s Trio from Battle Creek
9:00 p. m. to 2 a. m.
Currently the Pennocks have an exchange student,
Jorge Martinez from Chile, South America, living
with them for ten weeks. Jorge is getting his first
experience in helping make maple syrup. It’s prov
ing quite an experience, and he is learning to like
maple syrup.
A more sophisticated method is now used in mak
ing maple syrup than years ago. Wayne has insult
ed a modern evaporator, and an oil burner is used
to boil down the sap. The finished product is now
packaged at the sugar shanty, instead of at the
house. Usually Wayne and Marion surt boiling in
the late afternoon, often continuing until midnight,
but during the heavy run, may work all night.
There are approximately 1100 ups in the woods
and there are as many as three buckets on many of
the larger trees.
Back in 1957 Wayne surted using plastic tubing
on many of the trees on a side hill appropriate for
gravity flow. But, like many syrup producers, he
found it difficult to replace the tubing after the
first year, and after a few seasons gave up using it.
However, this year, after further study of the po
tentialities of plastic usage, and the assisunce of
Dr, Melvin R. Koelling, Extension Specialist of
the Department of Forestry of MSU, tienow has
some 3,000 feet of plastic connecting 165 ups in
one area of the woods. When the season ends. Dr.
Koelling will return to help mark the tubing, for
next year, and Wayne plans to continue using it in
the future. The tubing cuts down on the work of
collecting the sap from each bucket, as the sap
flows directly into a gathering tank. Also, no wa
ter, leaves, or other particles can get into the sap,
although occasionally a squirrel chews a hole in
the plastic tubing necessitating repair. Wayne may
go a step farther in future years and add pumps to
the lines to pull the sap along.
In previous years, Wayne made the tap holes a
bout 1 1/2 inches deep. This year, upon recommen
dation of the university, Wayne went to a threeinch deep up, which seems to be working out very
welL-Wayne says the results show a higher percent
of sap per up hole in the "pipe line" area than
in the "bucket" area.
Over the years Wayne has made improvements in
his sugar sunty. In the years when wood was used
for fuel to heat the sap the building was always
plenty warm. After insulling the oil burner two
years ago, he re-sided the sugar shanty for warmth,
and converted the shed at the back of the shanty
used for wood storage into a packaging room.
For several years Wayne and Marion have been
members of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival
corporation and have uken prizes on tneir syrup quite
consistently. They have also won numerous ribbons
on their products at the Michigan State Fair in De
troit where they exhibit annually. This year Wayne
is vice president of the Vermontville organization.
Of the 1969 season, Wayne says weather condi
tions have been ideal For the firn two weeks the
temperature has been a perfect 18 degrees at night
and in the 40’s in the daytime. Never does he re
member so many consecutive "collecting days" —
twelve in a stretch at the time this acticle is being
written. The woods have been free from snow so far,
and there has been practically no mud to contend
with. The sugar content, about 2. 5, has been ade
quate, but not extremely high, and Wayne feels the
quality of the syrup is exceptionally good this year.
When the syrup was first produceu at the Pennock
farm the price per gallon was in the neighborhood
of $2. 00. This year producers in the Nashville area
are asking about $7. 00.
Marion Pennock bottles and packages the fine maple
svrup products. Their labels identify their syrup from
the Pennock Sugar Bush.

invited me to be with them,
together with parents and in
terested people. How pleased
I was at the openness'and the
candor of tbs meeting. We a
dults must hand it to the
youth of today for their under
standing and courage to face
the problems of their lives
and of the world.
I was especially happy to
see the principal of the school
present and to see first hand
the need for the established
orden to listen to the re a 1
needs that the students have.
One thing that will become
more and more disastrous for
the institutions of the past,
whether they be that of the
church or state or education,
is that they ignore the voices
of the young who are forming
the society of the future.
I hope that more interest
and guidance can be given to
the *Youth Educational Stud
ies". You're on the right track,
kids. We all expect great
things from you.

Police work is an occupation in crisis. Law en
forcement agencies are called upon to fulfill everfexpanding, responsible roles in our society. Not on
ly do policemen risk their lives in defense of the
personal and civil rights of law abiding citizens,
but, increasingly, they deal with the people and
problems associated with the changes occurring a
cross the entire spectrum of urban life.
Police work is crime control and more. Law en
forcement officers often devote substantial time
and energy to crime prevention activities. They are
involved in counseling and assisting youth, and
they'are active in community relations. In all their
contacts with the public, policemen function on an
interpersonal not impersonal basis.
Although police work is dangerous and, at times,
frustrating, individuals with real concern for other
human beings find it an occupation which is richly
rewarding in personal satisfaction. Police work of
fers young men an opportunity to be "where the ac
tion is" in a socially constructive manner.
The Metropolitan Police Department of Washing
ton, D. C. needs young men who are interested in
a career in police work. If you know of a young
man who might be interested, have him call, o r
call for him, CL9-8991, which'is the number of
the Vermontville Post Office Information Center.
Federal employment representatives have informa
tion on salaries—which are excellent--opportuni
ties for advancement and the details of how you
join.

OPEN LETTER
from GEORGE H. VOGT
Dear friends,
One thing a family should
not expect the funeral dir- _
ector to do is to suggest the
cost of the funeral to be
selected. His advice may be
invited, but the decision
rests with the family. The
financial aspects must of
necessity be candidly dis
cussed, to avoid hardship and
to have complete understanding
by all concerned.
Respectfully,

Board considers solutions to
over-crowded elementary ar£as
The Board of Education of the Maple Valley School
district Monday evening hired the architectural firm
of Manson, Jackson and Kane, Inc. ot Laming to
draw plans for additional classrooms to meet the
over-crowi *
" ’
' i the elementary area.
The Board D8B
primarily with William
Kane, in c
plant planning. Kane is
a member
if Educational Facilities
Planners. i
’ Gov. Romney to the
Fire Safety
ate, and is chairman of
the Facilit
or the State Department
of Educatii
rial Materials Centers.
The bull
s and enrollment growths
have been
i, but no definite pro
gram has been decided upon 'by the Board.
It is hoped the district can vote on the new build
ing program in June.
The teaching staff of the Maplewood Elementary
building presented a letter to the board requesting
that they retain Mrs. Iva Reed and place her on a
full time job as principal of their building next
year. Mrs. Reed has reached the retirement age,
and it has been the board's policy to retire teach
ers and other school personnel when they reach the
age of 65. It goes without saying that Mrs. Reed is
a dedicated teacher and administrator, and during
her many years as teacher has been an asset to the
school ana to her community. The letter was ta- bled until further study is made.
The teachers presented their proposal for nego
tiations for the coming year. These were not read
in the meeting Monday night, but the matter will
be taken up in future meetings. In commenting on
the proposals contained in the negotiations, Supt.
Carroll J. Wolff said he was hopeful the teachers
and board could come up with a workable solution
as rapidly as possible, as it would be advantageous
to those teachers who will be signing contracts to
return next fall, as well as the new teachers he will
be interviewing.

The Maple Valley Jaycees were given permis
sion to build a new scoreboard at the Vermontville
athletic field for spring baseball. Plans were pre
sented through the Junior-Senior High School prin
cipal, Leon Housler, who has been conferring with
the Jaycees on the project. The Jaycees will han
dle all costs of the new board. A fence will also
enclose the baseball field. This will be removed
at the end of the baseball season.
Spring sports this year will include golf, tennis,
track and baseball, and coaches will be named to
handle the various events. So far, some nine stu
dents have indicated an interest in golf; 19 for ten
nis; 24 for track and approximately 40 forbasebalL

Continue ambulance service
As announced last week the Castleton Maple
Grove Ambulance Service will continue operation
on the same basis as in 1968. We have had some
questions as to just how we will operate without the
County subsidy that we received in 1968. Some of
these questions will be answered in this brief acticle.
Local ambulance service as it now exists was or
ganized in February and March of 1968. This oper
ated under a contract with the county to supply a
portion of the cost through a bid presented by the
local Ambulance Board. We then received quarter
ly payments from the county and these payments,
along with the collections from rum made, were
the basis of financing the operation. This operat
ing agreement terminated March 1, 1969. In sub
muting our bid for this year the county board saw
fit to turn the bid down largely due to the fact
that we refused to operate under the minimum char
ges of $30.00 per call plus $1.00 per loaded mile,
as demanded in the county contract. This mini
mum charge per call made under a county plan
would have worked as follows— •

As most of our rum are made to Pennock Hos
pital we could not accept a rate more than double
our former rates. This was turned down by both
the firemen as well as the Ambulance Soard and
was also condemmed by many local people. Other
county areas are also very unnappy with this coun
ty mandatory charge. TTie feeling here is that
the county handled the ambulance situation in
rather an unsatisfactory manner.
Therefore, we are operating locally with the
bacKing of the two townships concerned. By mak
ing the same charges as in the past we hope to run
a break-even operation. This will depend on every
one using the ambulance making a prompt pay ment of charges made.
We feel that we have had a very smooth oper
ation this past year and many fine compliments
have been given our firemen who operate the am
bulance. Ninety-eight ambulance calls were made
during the year ending March 1st. We think this
justified people of this area making a request for
a local based ambulance with minimum charges,
and feat is the basis we have tried to set up the
service.
If you are in need of ambulance service, call
653-2341 and rerpembet on March 30th, this phone
number changesito 852-0810.

Here we go again, on the beard bit -—
Wes Erwin,. who owns and operates
iperates the St
Stop &
Shop Grocery Store, has a real Foo Man Chu beard.
I've had people tell me mine is, but mine can't
bold a candle to Wes*. Wes looks like be came
right out of China somewhere. I don't mean this as
a oad comment, I mean it is good. Well, anyway,
the other day Wes*and Mrs. Erwin went to Grand
Rapids to pick up a truck load of groceries.
Well, on the way back from Grand Rapids, load
ed to the gunnels, Wes bad a flat tire. Jacking up
the truck, loaded with groceries is no easy trick, so
Wes decided the better part of valor was to call a
service truck to have the tire changed. So, he left
his wife in the car and he trudged up to the nearest
farm bouse door.
He knocked on the door, and an elderly gentle
men came, peered out at him. The old fellow open
ed the door just a crack and then questioned. "What
do you want?" Wes explained about the flat tire
and asked the old gentlemen if he could use the
phone. The old fellow slammed the door, but Wes
said he knew he was standing there, looking through
the glass, so Wes knocked again on the door.
The old man opened it and went through the
same routine, *what do you Want?” Wes explain
ed again about the flat tire and requested the use
of the phone. "You a hippie?" the old man said.
"No", Wes said, "I'm a grocer." "Oh", "well,
comeinanduse the phone, but get right out again."
So, Wes took his shoes off because they were
muddy from walking up to the house, and walked
into the kitchen, used the telephone and then as
he was about to put his shoes on again, the old
man asked him, "What you got in the truck?"
"A load of groceries, * Wes said.
"You sure it ain't dope?"
"Good grief no!" Wes said.
Wes and 1 later figured out, as we were talking
about this, that if he had that truck loaded with
dope, he would be worth at least several million
dollars.
Anyway, before he left the house, .as he was put
ting his shoes on, the old man looked out the win
dow again and there were the State Police talking
to Mrs. Erwin. A State Police car had been cruis
ing down the highway, and the policeman, seeing
a good looking lady in trouble, had stopped to see
if they could be of any help. To the old man,
though, this was just one more indication that Wes
wasn't all that he said be was. Wes said as he put
his shoes on and walked out the door, be glanced
back at the old-man and could tell by the look on
his face that he was convinced the truck was load
ed with dope and that the State Police had caught
a dope peddler right in front of his house.
Forrie Babcock says his beard itches. He's going
to keep it until the big day -but-hebas some
second thoughts about growing one in the fiat
place. Forrie claims that you can buy a beard and
a moustache that-pastes on, for $5. 00. I'm not
sure Forrie's prices are right - I've seen them ad
vertised for $35. 00.
We went to Chicago for a couple of days this
week. Actually, we were going to stay for the en
tire. weekend, but a bunch of sick kids brought us
home early. Anyway, the Chicago papers were
loaded with advertisements for corned beef. It
seems the corned beef people have grabbed on to
St. Patrick's Day and are making a big thing of
it. The ads were all admonishing people to buy
corned beef and have corned beef and cabbage for
St. Pat's Day. Sounds like a marvelous idea to
me. I'd like to have corned beef and cabbage on
any day.
in Cnicago, Alisande and I were walking down
the street just when there was a big bomb scare at
the Civic Center. We were able to watch as what
looked like the entire Chicago Police force clear
ed a city block of Chicago in practically nothing
flat. On the one street I could see, there was at

least 30 police cars and there must have been that
many on each of the other streets around the block.
They did a beautiful job of clearing the people
out in a very short time, and they found, it was
indeed, just a scare, there was no bomb. Someone
had called and reported a bomb. They did find a
black box with a timing device and a percussion
cap in it, but no explosives. Just part of the life
in Chicago.

Patricio got a kick out of viewing Chicago ftom
the top of the Prudential Building, and I must ad
mit, I always get a kick out ofseeing Chicago
from the Top of 1the Rock. Even though we came
home early, we had time to see a few things in
Chicago and I'm sure our visitor from Chile was
impressed.
_____
Yoe see everything in Chicago - old women
chewing match sticks and walking like they were
behind a plow - hippie boys with hair down to
their shoulders, looking like girls - and girls look
ing like boys - and other girls looking like girls mini skirts and bell bottom pants - rag-tag men
scrounging through the refuse cans - classybleached blonde ladies slowly shopping through Marshall
Fields - leggy models threading their way through
the State Street crowds carrying the badge of their
profession, a hatbox - and as Alftande and I were
walking down the street, she nudged me and said,
"Now, I've seen everything! Look at that!* And
there was a man with a goose in his arms - a
great big live goose! And it was pretty apparent,
the goose was not going to be dinner. The goose
was a pet. The man was patting its head and
talking to it as he walked down the street.
And, I've no doubt, some of the Chicago peo
ple looked at us as we were going down the street
and thought the same thing we think about them.
I can just hear them now saying, "Look, now I’ve
seen everything - look M the man with the beardr
Well, it's time to break out the green ties and
the shamrocks and the shellalleis, and get a little
weepy about the old sod and pay tribute to one who
has become a great American hero. I have a sus
picion that St. Patrick's Day means a lot more to
Americans, all Americans, not just Irish Americans,
than he means to the Irish. Perhaps instead of being
the patron saint of Ireland, he should be the patron
saint of America.
Anyway, the chowder and marching societies have
all turned out in their best green and we've gorged
ourselves on corned beef and cabbage and maybe
even some of us have had a snort of Irish whiskey
and we can start preparing for St. Patrick* Day next
year.

Eaton County Sheriff talks
to County Historical Society
When Sheriff Elwin J. Smith of Charlotte, told
the history of law enforcement in Eaton County to
the members and visitors at the meeting of the Eaton
County Historical Society at the courthouse on
March 13, he withheld the gruesome details.
However, he said that from the time Robert Whea
ton, Eaton County's fiat sheriff, took office in 1838
until now, the thirty four sheriffs who held office
were busy day and night performing their duties
with limited, inadequate facilities. They were all
Republicans except Horace Boom.
Several deputies throughout the county tried to
help but they were hampered by slow communica
tion.
For a long time court was held in Bellevue; later,
it was in the Williams Hotel in Petea* Circle. The
criminal didn't have much to look forward to, after
he was caught, and the sheriff's wife served as undeaheriff as well as cook for the prisoner.
In 1842 the council appropriated four dollaa for
a jail, sheriff Smith explained, and a hole six feet
deep and eight feet square was dug. The location
of this fiat Jail in Charlotte is unknown. A large
heavy cover made it secure.
The next year five dollars was voted to be used
for equipment; blankets and a slop jar. In 1846 a
well was dug for the convenience of the sheriff.
In 1873 the old jail was completed at the cost of
16 thousand dollars. Evert Peck remodeled it in
1947 and it was used until the new jail was built in
1960. The courthouse was completed in 1875 and
cost 70 thousand dollars. A fire in 1894 caused ex
tensive damage.
Sheriff Smith can be justly proud of his 22 yeaa •
in office,, which is longer than anyone before him
has served.
He explained the rapid advances that have taken
place since 1940 when the county had two cars with
one-way radios. The driver had to stop, find a
phone and call back, "he'd got the message." The
deputy had a uniform in 1940, also.
In 1946 they had two-way radios, an undersheriff
was hired, plus a night man to take calls and two
deputies. The first night man was Bill Culp, Now
there are thirty five deputies,' nine cars and two
boats.
Twenty-two yeaa ago, he said, there were a
hundred accidents a year; now there are 15 hundred.
Of the 48 persons killed in Eaton County last year,
45 were investigated by the sheriff's department, as
well as 75% of the crimes comitted here.
Sheriff Smith said, "The woat chare of our de
partment is picking up the pieces of bodies splatter
ed all over the pavements." He also said rhatsametimes the smallest incident will solve a crime.
He mentioned that he hadn't been home for a hol
iday dinner with his family since he took office.
Refreshmena were served by Ma. Fred Bohn and
Mr. and Mrs. John Doman.

ELECTRIC HEAT
“Electric heat with room-byroom temperature control,
provides an even, comfortable
warmth that tenants
appreciate. Because electric
heating ts ao dean,
decorating costs are minimum,
and the simplicity of
electric heating units
i
practically eliminates
maintenance costs."
"I like the idee of one
subcontractor being
responsible for the
installation of both electric
heating and insulation
material. I feel that this gave
me greater assurance of a
completely satisfactory
heating installation. We were
impressed with the
problem-free installation."

�Prepares for Lansing Antique Show
What next. Ora Slout?
Adding three more antique shows to her listings
this year. Mb. Slout is now back in Vermontville
preparing for the Lansing Antique Show on March
21, 22 and 23.
Ora Slout is going on 73 years--but shows no signs
of stopping.
'
.
After the Laming Show she will take a "breather"
before swinging into the west for shows at Fort
Smith, Ark,, Sab Angelo, Texas; Las Vegas, Nev,.
El Paso, Texas, Alburquerque, New Mexico and
Pueblo and Denver, Colo., during June and July.
Then back to Vermontville again she will get ready
for the September show at Tulsa, Okla., Topeka
and Wichita, Kan., and Memphis, Tenn. Next
October she will return for another show in Lansing
before going to El Paso where she makes her home
with her sister, Mrs. Crowson, part of the time.
But that's not all. Already this year, during Jan
uary and February, she managed snows at Memphis,
Tenn., Fort Worth, Texas; Tulsa' and Oklahoma
City, Okla., and Springfield, Missouri. The three
new shows she is adding this year are those at San
Angelo. Las Vegas and Pueblo.
Her sister. Mrs. Crowson, joins her for all the
shows, and she is 80. Sounds like a busy schedule
indeed for these two women, well past the so-call
ed "retirement age" but these two have more spark
and vitality than many persons half their age.
Probably Ora Slout's "pet" show is Lansing, for it
was there she and her husband, the late Vern Slout,
got interested in managing antique shows. It was
also the last show Mt. Slout arranged before his
death in 1955. The Lansing show, to be held in the
Civic Center, is sponsored Dy the Lansing Women's
Club House Association.
Before promoting antique shows, Mr. and Mrs.
Slout had their town tent shows and for many years
traveled across the United States entertaining under
the "big top", staying a day or two, or perhaps a
week, then moving on.
Mrs. Slout started her career in show business in
1913, and is now entering her 56th year dealing
with the public.
."Antique shows are really no different in many
respects than performing in tent shows," says Ora
Slout. "It's the same 'setting up' and 'tearing down'
seeing that everyone is 'on stage' at the proper
time, and no matter how tireo the 'stars' are—or
how far they have driven, or how difficult it has
been to get the 'stage set', when the doors swing
open, everyone is 'shined up' and ready to perform."
Mb. Slout does all the promoting and managing
of the antique shows. She! operates under "World
Wide Antique Shows, Slout Managed. " Her sister,
Mrs. Crowson, who operates her own antique shop
in El Paso, handles all ticket sales at the door. "I
hate to sell tickets, " says Ora, but my sister loves
it, so it works out fine. *
Actually, it was because of Mrs. Crowson that
Ora and Vern got into the antique business. "Many
years ago, when we were in tent show business I'd
go out and look for antiques which I would buy and
send to Lillian. Always, it seemed, between re
hearsals, I'd be out rummaging here and there for
articles--and I really came up with some beautiesj"
Ora Slout has worked hard all her life. Her suc
cess is largely due to the fact she doesn't have the
word "can’t" in her repertoire. If, in tent show
days, the script called for burned biscuits, she cov
ered some with black cloth. If a certain type of
costume was needed, she made it. If special mus
ic was called for, she improvised on the piano. She
plays the piano very well, although mostly by ear.
Her earliest stage work was singing in musicales,
although she was playing the piano for a touring
musicale group at the age of 15. When she was 16
she could play parts written for old women, and in
later years she was famous for her comedy role as
"Orrie" which was as recognized as the counterpart
of "Toby" her late husband protrayed, the country
yokel he played for years. In fact, Vern Slout wrote
the "Orrie" role into many established plays, as
well as in the many original plays he wrote.
So good to be with

good musk.

Since 1938 Mb. Ora Slout has been promoting antique shows, and occasionally she
adds something to her own private collection. Her latest is this lady's sidesaddle which
dates back to the civil war, and which will be on display at the Lansing show. (But is
not for sale). The saddle is the original leather, with the exception of the strap attach
ed to the original stirrup. The seat covering is the original The sidesaddle is the type
upon which the rider siu with both legs on the same side of the animal, designed for
the "belles” who preferred the more ladylike transportation, used when wearing skirts.

” In setting up an antique show 1 never know what
I'll run into, " says Ora. I have to be careful o» how
I arrange the dealeB' booths, being careful not to
place similar displays next to each other. Even
then I'm not sure what they will bring in. One
time a dealer will have glassware, only to find
that the next time he brings a jewelry display.
Sometimes I order 40 six-foot tables and map out
the floor arrangement accordingly, only to find
when I arrive they have brought in 30 eight-foot
tables instead. And believe me, antique dealers
are just as tempermental as any show people. I've
really gotten into some tense--and amusing--sit
uations.
"I'm always surprised too at the public's tastes
from year to year. This year they have gone for
more expensive items, and larger articles. This
year, for the fiBt time, the Lansing show will have
lots of antique furniture. Primitives are especially
good this year. Prices are staggering, and this is
also a good year for orientals, Duttons, bottles and
postcards. "
Another trend is noticed among the dealeB this
year, many who come from all parts of the United
States. More and more they are traveling in campeB and traileB, and combine their business with
vacations. A large number of the dealeB partici
pate in practically all of Ora's shows, as they have
for years. • *
■
If, and when, Ora Slout ever decides to retire,
she will be hard to replace. But presently it looks
as though she is ready--and anxious--to go on for
ever.

Planning committee to meet
The Vermontville Community Planning Commit
tee will meet March 25th,
Tuesday night at 7:30
at the Library. The committee is going to concen
trate on two projects to see them through, one being
the Welcome Wagon brochures. They are printed
and are ready to be taken to all newcomers that
move into the village. It contains names of organi
zations, their officers in charge, meeting dates,
where to find things, a short interesting history and
from the merchants a gift certificate will be placed
in the folder. Miss Esther Shepard is in charge and
has a committee from other organizations that will
see that these brochures will be handed out. If you
have new neighbors, please call her.
The other project the committee has taken on is
a maple tree planting promotion to replace the dead
elms in the village and besides if no new maples
are planted soon, the village streets will be bare and
this should not be allowed to happen. More and
more of the maples are dying, less trees are tapped
each year and something must be done.
Anyone interested in this project is urged to come
to the meeting. It will need much community sup
port, and we would like comments.

New dramatic operation
(Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan. Exe
cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society,
Michigan Association of the Professions.)
Pelvic exoneration is a very new operation and a
very complicated one. It offers to patients another
chance at the possibility of cure if they have cer
tain kinds of neoplasma of the pelvis. A newplasm
is any new and abnormal growth, such as a tumor.
This operation involves removing the female or
gans as well as the bladder and rectum. The t a 1 ents of several specialities are used in providing the
patient the best possible care. Among the people
who actively participate are the general surgeon,
the gynecologist and urologist Also the internist,
the nurse and on occasion tne psychiatrist is need
ed. The help of the social worker is utilized
to
place some of these patients in a situation at home
that will allow them to recuperate in the best pos
sible way.
This surgery is a very large undertaking and is
not undertaken lightly.
But surprisingly, the loss of a bladder and rectum,
though it can never be adequately compensated for,
is a situation that patients seem to tolerate remark
ably welL
<
They, of course, have a colostromy, but this is
not an insurmountable problem. They learn to care
for their colostromy so that it moves once a day and
for the most pan they are spared embarrassing a c cidents. Their bladder is a little bit more difficult
to substitute for, and they wear a collecting device
with good assurance that they can stay dry through
out the day. This Is glued in place--It is glued di
rectly to tne skin and some of the newer ones uti lize techniques such as gummed paper and excell
ent water-proof seals which will last for a number
of days. This is usually connected to a collecting
device that may be strapped around the leg and
surely you couldn't tell such a patient if you saw
her walking down the street.
This procedure is seldom done as the primary
form of treatment for various gynecologic and pel
vic neoplasms. It is reserved rot use in patients who
have failed to respond to less complicated forms of
treatment, such as radiation therapy or who have
recurring disease following a course of treatment
with radiation therapy. The patient's general physi
cal status is assessed, the doctors taking into ac
count such things as age, obesity, blood pressure,
heart disease and also whether" the patient will be
able to emotionally adapt to such an undertaking.
They have to learn bow to take care erf themselves
and this requires an active, aggressive type of per
son who is willing to put forth an extra little bit of
effort to make life acceptable.
This operation is, in a certain sense, a court of
last resort. Without this procedure, essentially all
of. these patients are not likely to survive any more
than a year or eighteen months. Patients are offer
ed a second opportunity for cure that they would not
have with any other modality of therapy. By "cure"
is meant a chance to survive five years free of dis
ease in one out of three patients who survive the op
eration.
The operative mortality is on the order of about
5%, This is comparable to any major operative pro
cedure that a patient may undergo today to elimin
ate other kinds of neoplasm.
It would certainly be easier and much more ac ceptable if patients could be treated with medica
tion rather than have them undergo major operative
procedures which basically destroy and obliterate
normal function.
Everyone hopes that there will be an opportunity
for cure with chemo-therapeutic agents of these
kinds of neoplasm, but that seems to be a long way
in the future. The best that can be offered today is
pelvic exoneration.

�Wants old copies of Echo
Mrs. Dewayne Wright, a member of the Vermoir.ville Historical Society, has announced,that the or
ganization is currently seeking old copies of the Ver
montville Echo,
They have many copies between the years of 1903
and 1930 but need copies earlier and later than these
dates, as well as some copies between these dates.
The reason these copies are needed is that the So
ciety is undertaking the project of having these cop
ies of the Echo micro-filmed and placed as a perman
ent record in the Vermontville Library. This project
is bei^g done in conjunction with the Michigan State
Library in Lansing.
Anyone having copies may call Mrs. Wright at
CL9-3382. She must have these before April 1st. All
copies will be returned to the owners after their use.
Mr. Richard Hathaway, from the Michigan State
Library, talked recently at a meeting of the Vermont
ville Historical Society and Mrs. Wright and Miss
Esther Shepard with his guidance, have been investi
gating the micro-filming project.

Children's Charter of the Courts of Michigan,
Inc. has announced merger of its activities with
Western Michigan UniveBity of Kalamazoo. On
February 1, the UniveBity established a Center for
Children's Court Services which will assume many
of the activities formerly carried on by Children's
Charter.
.
Director of the WMU Center is Donald T. Ander
son, former Kalamazoo County Probate Judge who
has served as Educational Director of Children's

' DOCTOR SHORTAGE
A Michigan State UniveBity economist says that 3
even immediate expansion of all Michigan medical
schools wouldn't provide enough doctOB by 1980 to
keep pace with the state's present inadequate num
ber of physicians.
Dr. David I Verway, a research associated of MSU
reports in the current issue of the "Economic Record"
that Michigan has 4, 66 percent of the nation's per
sonal income, and 4.34 percent of the population,
but only 4.15 percent of the physicians ,in private
practice.
Michigan specialists account for only 3. 88 percent
of the national total, he added.
Dr. Verway cited several facton which have con
tributed to the doctor shortage in the state, includ
ing:
Michigan, with a higher birth rate and a greater
share of its population In the younger age groups
than the national average, has an above average
need for services to treat diseases peculiar to chil
dren.,
City dwellers, who utilize medical services more
than rural residents, comprise a greater proportion
of the state's population than are found in many oth
er states.
In order to maintain the present relationship of
doctors to population. Dr. Verway estimated the
state will need 7, 600 additional physicians by 1980.
Even immediate expansion of all of Michigan’s
medical schools would not produce the number of
doctOB by then, he said, adding that the state relies
neavily on foreign manpower for its supply of physi
cians.
"It has been estimated that 14.3 percent of all
Michigan medical doctors graduate from foreign
medical schools." he- said.
POOR CHANCE
Riot-control legislation much weaker than that ve
toed by former Gov. George W. Romney last year
was passed by the state Senate.
The measure would authorize local officials to de
clare a state of emergency when a riot appears im
minent and the Governor is out of the state.
It now goes to the House, where Democratic lead
ers have vowed to kill it, The Democrats hold a 57
53 edge in the lower chamber.
Senate passage came after Gov. William G. Mil
liken lifted his objection to the bill. Bin the Gov
ernor had insisted on the provision giving him com
plete authority over riot prevention when he's in
Michigan.
FALSE ALARM
False alarm, that's what a state Supreme Court
justice says State Natural Resources Director Ralph
A. MacMullan sounded recently about the celebra

By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Justice Eugene F. Black of Port Huron says that
contrary to MacMullan's statemenu, thd" court did
not close 95 percent of Michigan's salmon and
trout streams to public fishing.
"Martiny decided no new public right, and no
new private right in any stream," said Black, who
authored the opinion that triggered the furor.
Concern stemmed from the court's definition of
a navigable stream open to public fishing in a case
involving state efforts to manage the water level of
a lake created by the Martiny Lake Dam in Mecost
a County.
MacMullan had said the ruling threw out the old
criteria that a navigable stream was any body of
water that could float logs. He called tor and got
legislation before the Senate and House to broaden
the definition.
Black said if MacMullan was right, then "all of
the participating justices, except for the dissenter,
should be impeached as an immediate first order of
legislative business... such is my complete confi
dence in the fact that you are dead wrong. "
MacMullan was "grateful" Black issued his state
ment and conceded his fears were unfounded.
"Justice Black has cleared the air and at the same
time reassured the hundreds of thousands of fisher
men, boaters and other recreationists who enjoy the
use of our inland waterways, " MacMullan said.
PACE QUICKENS
Slow-footed. That was the adjective used moat
frequently to describe early activity of the 19691
Michigan Legislature. No more. The pace has quick
ened considerably as lawmakers strive to adjourn by
mid or late summer.
.
Scores of new bills ranging in subject matter from
fish disease to horse back riding to abortion to riot
control have been introduced. Committee hearings
on major legislation are well under way.
"We just might surprise everyone anu get out of
here by July 4 yet, " said one optimistic legislator.
” But I'm not taking odds on that."
Small wonder. The lawmakers still must grapple
with schooL tax, labor, crime, welfare and elec
tion reform problems, to name only a few. Ahead
lies some rough, multi-million dollar decisions.
If the Legislature didn't have enough things to fret
about on the fiscal front, it got some more recently.
The 19 sure departments and 11 tax-supported insti
tutions of higher education proposed a $1.5 billion,
five-year building program that, if approved, would
require taxpayers to dig deeper into their pocket
books than ever before to pay for brick-and-mortar
improvements.
The vast financial blueprint asks the Legislature to
appropriate $300.7 million this year, $338. 9 mil
lion next year, $316. 9 million m 1971, $271. 8 mil
lion in 1972 and $232 million in 1973.
The sum includes $498. 5 million in restricted
funds, and $961. 9 million from the state general
fund, financed principally from income and sales
tax receipts.
The restricted funds would be spent for highway,
waterway and airway improvements. Money would
come from user fees such as gasoline and registra
tion taxes.
General fund expenditures would go for a variety
of projects, including these major items:
$58.2 million for a new state Capitol and remodel
ing work on the old CapitoL Another $20. 5 mil
lion is proposed for state office building improve
ments in Lansing, Grand Rapids and Escanaba.
$28. 5 million for new mental health facilities in
Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Calhoun-Jackson
counties. Only $900, 000 of this is sought during
fiscal 1969-70.
$18. 5 million for correctional facilities, includ
ing erection of two new medium security prisons.
$10. 6 million for State Police projects, with $5.5
million going for construction of a civil defense
emergency operating center and $3. 3 million for
a training academy.
$6. 7 million for improvements at the boys and .
girls (raining schools, including construction of
swimming pools, basketball courts and related fa
cilities.
.
Nearly half, or $680.2 million, of the total $1. 5
billion outlay would go to institutions of higher edu- '
cation, with Michigan State, Wayne and Michigan
UniveBities getting the lion's share.
The State Mental Health Department asked for
$87. 9 million, the Governor's office, $84. 9 million,
the Department of Corrections, $31 million and the
education department, $20.5 million.
Democrats were heartened when conservative GOP
John P. (Joe) Smeekens won an election for a seat in
the House of Representatives. The Branch, Hillsdale,
Lenawee county area had been solidly Republican for
yeaa, but his victory was only a margin of 488 votes.
His opponent was a relatively unknown Democrat,
Paul Porter, a farmer from Quincy. The contest was
for the seat left vacant by the death of Rep. Frederic
J. ManhalL The thin margin of victory is a stimu
lant to Democrats who are already thinking of ways
to win in the next round of balloting.
Smeekens served in the Senate el '
prior to
his 1964 GOP primary lots. He was
pro-tempore of the upper chamber in 1963-

COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO
VOLUME 96
10 Cents a Copy
THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1969
NUMBER 44
Wants old copies of Echo
Mrs. Dewayne Wright, a member of the Vermon’ville Historical Society, has announced that the or
ganization is currently seeking old copies of the Ver
montville Echo.
They have many copies between the years of 1903
and 1930 but need copies earlier and later than these
dates, as well as some copies between these dates.
The reason these copies are needed is that the So
ciety is undertaking the project ol having these cop
ies of the Echo micro-filmed and placed as a perman
ent record ui the Vermontville Library. This project
is being done in conjunction with the Michigan State
Library in Lansing.
Anyone having copies may call Mrs. Wright at
CL9-3382. She must have these before April 1st. All
copies will be returned to the owners after their use.
Mr. Richard Hathaway, from the Michigan State
Library, talked recently at a meeting of the Vermont
Ville Historical Society and Mrs. Wright and Miss
Esther Shepard with his guidance, have been investi
gating the micro-filming project.

attend Chicago conference
Mr. Leon Housler, High School Principal and
Howard Yost, Elementary Supervisor, represented
the Maple Valley Schools at the ASCD Conference
in Chicago, Illinois last week.

Each morning of the conference began with a Gen
eral Session. One session was a study of present-day
supervision, an analysis of present status of the field
dilemmas confronting supervision, problems and is
sues and new developments. Another session exam
ined the school as a social system and discussed the
problems that may confront it in the next decade.
Mr. Housler attended special assemblies on Mod
els of Curriculum Planning: New Look at Education,
and Mr. Yost attended a session on Supervision and
the selection and Utilization of Learning Materials
for the Elementary Schools. Both men attended For
ums on the Controversy of the Middle School and
Improvement ur Reading.
A total of 364 booths, with exhibits and Instruc
tional materials were set up in the Hilton Hotel.

�| LETTERS to EDITORj
BACKSTREET
BAROMETER
It would appear that our maple syrup season is
just about over. Saturday night and Sunday night,
1 don't believe the tenperalure got down below 40,
and one of these days we'll be looking into the trees
and find buds - perhaps even now. Pussy willows
are out. Some of the fields out in the country look
green; 1 believe they're winter wheat. So it looks
again as if our winter is over.
As winters go, this one has not been a particular
ly bad one as far as I can see. We did have one
snow, but that's about it. I can't remember our
having any protracted period of extreme cold
weather this year. As a matter of fact, it seemed
pretty mild all the way around. This made the for
eign exchange students from Chile a might unhap
py. They had expected to come up here and find
heaps of snow. Even in Charlevoix there was no
where near what they generally have. Looks like
the skiing season is over and it won't be too long
before the water skiing sets in. Well, as I say, it
couldn't come any too soon for me.
Our deer herd in the southern part of Michigan
must be growing tremendously. Either that or my
eyes are gening sharper and I'm able to see them.
The other day on the way home from Lansing, I
looked out into a field of I think winter wheat - it
was green - and there were five or six big deer
grazing like cattle. As I went past them, perhaps
100 yards from them, I honked the bom. They all
put tircir ears forward, lifted their heads up and
looked at me, but then went right back to their
grazing.
Not only is the herd growing but is growing bold
er every day. These animals create quite a hazard
on the road, particularly down around our part of
the country. I noticed some Department of Natural
Resources the other day showing that Barry County
is one of the highest for deer kill on the highway.
Plans for the big Centennial celebration seem to
be going along well. It takes a project like this to
bring the people together. I think so often we go a
long, minding our own business, paying little atten
tion to what n going on, and then suddenly we're
called upon to attend meetings and to help coordin
ate our effort and find it's fun to be with people and
to work with people. J think this is something we
have lost through the century that our town has been
here.
Baek in the past, Nashville was full of organiza
tions. The old papers list meetings for lodges, clubs,
organizations, all through the week and back in
those old days, before radio and television, when
one wasn't going to a regular meeting of some or
ganization, he was often engaged in informal com
munications. The old papers mention often the fact
that a group of men in the town would get together
in a back rdom of one of the stores and play cards
of an evening.
They often had dinners also, these men who play
ed cards. What they would do would be to steal
somebody's chickens - 2 or 3 chickens - enough for
a dinner; take the chickens to a bakery where they
were prepared and then invite the man whose chick
ens were stolen to dinner. They kept it strictly with
in the group, they didn't steal chickens from out
side, but no one ever knew that he was providing
the chickens for the dinner until the party was over.
I guess they had a lot more time for that sort of
Y. E. S. I've heard of Youth Education Studies. Sev
eral months ago I was privileged to haVe attended
some of their meetings. I was amazed at many
things. First, their ability to form a business meet
ing and accomplish things from complete chaos.
These were some of the first meetings in the life of
the Y. E. S. Club; they drew up part of their consti
tution, had open discussions and selected subjects
they wanted to learn more about. The variety over
whelmed me. So did the kids. They are intelligent,
humorous, mannerly, interesting and searching for
knowledge in a very mature way.

Corrections Department: Our apologies go out tins
week to'the Assembly of God Church and also to Kar
en Benedict for some mis-information we had in the
paper last week.
We gave the incorrect time for the Dedication of
the new building of the Assembly of God Church.
The correct time is 3'. 00 p. m. on Sunday, March 30
instead of 7:00 p. m. as we stated. Another article
in the paper this week gives the details.
As far as Karen Benedict is concerned, our con
gratulations go out to her with the honor of being
named Michigan Maple Syrup Queen. However, we
regret the typographical error when we stated she was
not going to New York tor the National Queen Con
test. Actually. Karen will be competing in this con
test also and will be going to New York.
These two errors we are aware of; there may be
many, many more that we don't yet know about.

�Here's the home of real
hospitality in Detroit
Greeks had a word
(Hugh W. Brenneman. East Laming, Michigan, Exe
cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society,
Michigan Aswciation of the Professions.)
We Americans profess to like plain language, but
we secretly relish big, resounding, learned words
particularly those that have a history. Grammar
and glamour were once the same words, and the
learned man of Jong ago, the master of grammar,
the science of letters, oasked in the almost reli
gious respect of his neighbors. He gave off a kind
of figurative radiance, as aura as it were of magic.
In ancient days the alchemist dressed himself in
robes decorated with the signs of the zodiac. Other
professional men of long ago knew considerable
Latin and Greek.
A lot of the Greek used by the medieval thinker
is still alive today and in use, especially by medi
cal men. Every up-to-date medical center of our
day has its otorhinolaryngologist and we know him
as the specialist on ills of the ear, nose, and throat.
We go to the surgeon, accept his title as modem,
everyday English, but it is really a Greek word to
describe a man who uses his hands to affect a cure.
Anesthesia, another word we accept more or less
without a qualm, is also pure Greek and means, as
you might expect, insensibility to pain. The word
obstetrics is almost pure Latin, and signified "stand
ing by" for the birth of a child. The word anatomy,
too, is pure Greek and strictly speaking it means
dissection. Because that which is dissected is a body,
anatomy has come to mean the physique. The
Greek word tor doctor, iatros, is also alive in, for
example, the word psychiatry which signifies the
healing of the psyche or the mind-soul and in the
word pediatrics meaning the medical care of chil
dren.
We seem to like the glamour of poly-syllabic
words, especially when they have a precision not
found elsewhere. But plain words have their ow n
kind of beauty, too. The fellow with the fancy vo
cabulary may be trying to'blow smoke in your ear,
as they once said picturesquely in the United States
Navy. Smoke-in-the-ear leads to foggy thoughts
and this world is no place for unclear thinking.
The purpose of language is to convey thought—
and emotion—from the mind of one person to the
mind of another by the shortest possible route.
What's wrong with plainly asking "what?” when you
don.'t at first hear clearly what someone said. To
ask "pardon?" as if "pardon" means "what" is af
fected. Plain "what" is better. And bedroom is bet
ter than boudoir. The phrase, "Senior Citizen" is
really a nice nelly ism for elderly persons, and its
use doesn't make them fell any younger.
The words you use indicate your dislike of decep
tion and your respect for truth. So think before you
speak, knowing that by your speech will people
Imow you.

Mrs. Allen gives unusual
book review to club
Mrs. Mildred Allen, librarian from Vermontville,
entertained the members of the Nashville Woman's
Literary Club Wednesday evening by giving reviews
of five books and reading a short children's book to
them.
Mrs. Allen, scheduled to give a book review, sta
ted that she thought it was more interesting to hear
about several books instead of centering the entire re
port on one bit of writing. Her selection of books
was varied and the ladies had their reading interest
stimulated as she reviewed an autobiography, a hum
orous writing, a mystery and a historical biography.
Books reviewed included "Thirteen Days' by Rob
ert F, Kennedy; "The Lost Queen" by Norah Lofts;
" Due to Lack of Interest Tomorrow Has Been Cancell
ed" by Irene Kempen; "Salzburg Connection” by Hel
en Machines; "On Reflection" by Helen Hayes and
the children's book which she read was "Su An" b y
Doris Johnson.
The meeting was held at the home of-Mrs. Kenneth
Meade and the attendance was good. Mrs. N o r man Sandbrook, club president, presided at the bus
iness meeting which preceded the book reviewing.
The Flea Market, to be held in May, came up for
discussion. Originally scheduled for Wednesday, May
21, it will now be held on Saturday of that week.
May 24th, in Central Park. AU members may bring
items and present them for sale - anything is accept
able. Each person must provide her own display table
and take care of the sale of the items. A commis
sion of 20% wiU be given to the club on aU items
sold by the members. Only members may have items
for sale, but the Flea Market is open to aU who wish
to attend. In the event of rain, provisions wiU b e
made to hold the sale inside somewhere, possibly the
Masonic Temple. Mrs. R. E. White is chairman for
the Flea Market. Although she was not at Wednes
day's meeting, those who have questions may con
tact her.
The Tea for Senior Girls wiU be held AprU 7 at
the Maple VaUey High School and wiU be co-spon
sored by the Vermontville Woman's Club. Mrs. Gale
Keihl is chairman for the tea and others on the com
mittee include Mrs. - Richard Bogart, Mrs. Kenneth
Meade , Mrs. Carroll Wolff, Mrs. James Rizor and
Mrs. Norman Sandbrook.
The program will be provided by a representative
of the State Police. A talk win be given on defen
sive tactics women should know for self-defense.
The tea committee for Wednesday's meeting was
made up of Mrs. Willard Myers, Mrs. Keith McMil
len and Mrs. John Boughton. Mrs. Showalter and
Mrs. Fleming served at the refreshment table.

�Co-operative program offers on-job-training
Vernon Trowbridge, right, gives a few sugges
tions to David Friddle as they work on a big GM
truck at the Trowbridge garage in Vermontville.
The Cooperative Occupational Training program
developed by the Vocational Education depart
ment of tne Maple Valley High School appears to be
working out well for a number of students partici
pating in the combined school and work program.
Details of the program, which combines m-school
education and supervised on-the-job training were
set up by Michael Rockafellar of the high scliuol
teaching staff, with the approval of the administra
tion and the Board of Education.
"The purpose of the program, " said Rockafellar,
"is to provide in-school youths with some basic com
petencies in selected occupations and to develop
saleable skills based upon individual abilities and
interests, and provides a coordinated work-study
program combining supervised part-time employ
ment and classroom instruction related to the stu
dent's job.
"This is the first year for such a training program,
and thus far we have placed five boys. Next year
wg hope to extend the program to include more stu
dents. Presently the program was designed especi
ally for seniors, and credit towards graduation will
be given for satisfactory on-the-job training provid
ed the students work a minimum of 15 hours per
week.
"The program can succeed only if there is strict
cooperation on the part of the student, the parents,
the employer and the schooL So far we are well
Two credits towards graduation will be given to
students who have been on a full-year program or
one credit per semester.
Two placements were made during the first se
mester. Jerry Duffey, at the Charlotte Beacon Sales
& Service Company, and David Friddle, at the Ver
non Trowbridge Service Station in Vermontville
where both are studying auto mechanics. During the
second semester, Jim Sheldon started working at the
Baby Bliss Company in Nashville, where he is work
ing as stock boy and studying sewing machine me
chanics; Chris Boughton, at the Maple Valley News
office, and Cary Cranson at the Kroger store
’
Charlotte.
Mrs. Lenka Porpaczi, the manager at the Baby
Bliss in Nashville, checks on Jim Sheldon as he pre
pares to cut tubing for edging garments made at the
plant. Jim will also learn sewing machine mechan
ics.
Mis. Porpaczi has been manager at Nashville since
November 1, and prior to that had been in charge
of quality at the Middleville plant. She comes from
Grand Rapids, is Hungarian by birth, and came to
the United States nine years ago. Before coming to
Grand Rapids, she was manager in a garment factory
in Pennsylvania.

"MAD SCRAMBLE"
Predictably, a mad scramble is under way in the
Michigan Legislature for tax dollars to meet the
steadily rising costs of public and private education.
The nig issue, and one which could generate as
much heat as the 1967 income tax battle, is wheth
er the state should start pumping dollars into the
non-public school system.
The focal point is a House measure that would al
lot $40 million to parochial schools for teaching
secular subjects such as reading, writing and arith
metic.
So intense is the fight, that Democratic leader is
pitted against Democratic leader, and Republican
against Republican. Various school organizations
join the fray like their lives depended on the out
come, as they may.
chairman Lucille McCollough of the House Edu
cation Committee, however, remains uncommit
ted. Her unit must review the parochiaid issue and
decide whether bills on the subject should go to the
floor for debate.
There's little doubt some sort of parochiaid bill
will emerge from Mrs. McCollough's committee.
House Speaker William A. Ryan, D-Detroit, made

Again in this second year of the McGregor grant
program, as was done in the past, all area citizens
are invited to visit their library and inspect the beau
tiful new reference books.
There are volumes too large to lift easily and some
which are mere pamphlets. The art books are beauti
fully illustrated and expensive. The electronics and
nucleonics and chemical dictionaries are awesomely
informative and expensive!
There are about sixty of these wonderful new ref
erence books and they cover many different fields of
interest. All ages are sure to find something enter
taining.
The McGregor Foundation of Detroit has made this
grant of $660. 00 a year for three years available to
Michigan libraries serving from 3,000 to 5,000 p e r sons. The purpose is to improve basic reference col
lections in small public libraries.
The Putman Library has received gifts of books,
magazines, record albums, money and floral decora
tions during the last few weeks.
The Lester Heacock family added five record al
bums to the library record collection.
Mt. Lloyd Roscoe of Battle Creek, sent another
package containing a nice assortment of books.
Mrs. Dennis Morawski, the Chesney girls, David
Green and the Robert Beecher family have all given
books lately.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hamp brought in magazines to
be added to the reference stacks or clipped for the
vertical file.
Mr. Jim Conner delivered a gift of money realized
from the sale of books placed in his store by Mr. Zane
Mead.
Mrs. Lloyd Priddy provided a pretty bouquet for the
table in the entranceway.
Mr. Ward Sager, of Battle Creek, offered Putnam
Library a seven-year collection of Fortune magazine
and the freedom of choosing what the library needed
from his bookshelves. Librarians Sheldon and Brown
spent a pleasant evening choosing a quantity of vol
umes about woodworking, metalwork, re-upholster
ing, leathercraft, remodeling and building homes,
history and mathematics.
It is pleasant to know that so many people enjoy
the library and want to add to everyone's enjoyment
of it.

what’s a
funny
place for
a phone?
That depends a lot on your sense of humor. If making
tracks across a clean carpet to get to a telephone leaves
your wife a little less than happy, then perhaps there’s
nothing so funny about an extension telephone in the
garage or workshop.
Extension telephones make sense. They save time by
letting you use a telephone wherever you are.
Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your
telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month
(plus tax) you can put an
extension in any funny old Michigan Bell
place you d like.

his constituents. Powell’s 89th District covers all of
Ionia County, the nine northeast townships in Barry
County and four southeast townships in Kent County.
The official Highway Department map has a new
format this year which makes it easier to read. Sec
ondary roads have been printed in a more subdued
color, making major routes easier to locate, and
city names have been printed with larger type. The
map reflects highway changes made during 1968 and
indicates new freeway construction now in progress.
Representative Powell said the Highway Depart
ment has allocated to him a limited supply of the
new maps, which he will be glad.to send while the
supply lasts. The maps are offered free of charge on
a first-come, first-serve basis. To receive a copy

Kent, Livingston, Montcalm, St. Joseph and Van
Buren. If the Barry County camp becomes filled
with reservations, overflow sessions will be schedul
ed at Camp Vining, near Grand Rapids.
Teenaged youth are needed as counsellors during
the summer sessions. Those interested in counselling
will be trained at a Counsellor Camp, June 18-21.
Counsellor applications are available in the county

Mao's end is near
Approximately three years ago I predicted an in
ternal revolution in Red China. The Cultural Revo
lution and the rampage of the Red Guard on China's
mainland brought concreteness to my predictions. A
bout three months ago Chairman Mao Tse-Tung
reached his 75th birthday. He attempted to call a
constitutional convention in order to justify his ille
gal action in the removal of Chinese communist
President Liu Shao Chie. He not only removed Liu,
he also put him on a people's public court trial, add
ing humiliation to Liu and his family. During Mao's
cultural revolution more than fifteen million regular
Chinese communist party officials and members of
their family were executed, physically tortured or
excaped to Siberia. Today many provincial officials
fear their lives and position.
I think so-called Western experts in the Asian af
fairs have finally recognized the serious impact of
this cultural revolution purge. The realization did
not come to light until the top Chinese communist
spy leader in Europe defected to the United States.
Too many native "China experts" dream of Mao's
compromise position as being that of co-existence.
The present Republican administration was also -op
timistic. They anxiously awaited.the meeting of a
Chinese communist ambassador in Poland on Sep
tember 24. The Chinese communists official can
cellation of the meeting was a slap to the friendly
gesture of the Republican administration.
Mao has not only publicly slapped the, U nited
States in Poland, but he is also pursuing a very ag
gressive step in attacking the Chinese-Russian bord
er of Siberia. The borderline between China and
Russia is as significant of a difference as the border
between East Berlin and West Berlin. That is a ma
jor escape route for purged Chinese communists to
Russia. The border crises will continue to increase
if Mao continues to pursue this reckless policy in the
Far East. It is my firm belief, because of the unrest
within the Chinese mainland. Chairman Mao will
continue to pursue his reckless policy for the yean to
come. Age is against him; he is seventy-five years
old. His physical condition is also poor; he has suf
fered several strokes and paralysis over half his body.
His people are against him; his unfulfilled promise
of the last twenty years are numerous. Most of all,
his former loyal supporters are against him because
he betrayed their loyalty and support during the Red
Guard rampage; be directed the teen-age Red Guards
rampage against his forty-year comrades in arms.

We, who have seen so many great men live,have
seen another great man die. The death of General
Eisenhower did not have the tragic overtones that
some of the recent deaths of great man have had,
but it is nonetheless, sobering and saddening and
.serves to make us remember the
the accomplishments of the man,
which he lived.
We, who have lived with giants, have seen giants
die and President Eisenhower will no doubt go down
in history as one of the giants - a great military
leader and a great administrator.

March, which as I remember, came in like a
lamb is going out true to tradition like a' lion. The
sooner old Lion March roars his way out and lets
that April with her sweet showers come in, the bet
ter I will like it. I suppose the skiiets enjoy cling
ing to winter this way, but I'd be just as happy to
put the skiis away, to get out the hula hoops, the
marbles and maybe the golf clubs. As I say, I have
nothing against lions, it is just that a little bit of
warm weather would appeal to me.
We have had the two missin
the picture of the "pickle-plcl
paper.
Mrs. Vem Staup called to say the two ladies pic
tured were Mrs. Vade Johnson and Mrs. Floyd Kinny.
She also told us that the Staup shown in the picture
was not Merle but really was Vem Staup.
Another identification of the two missing pickle
pickers was made-by Mrs. Van Hom. She identifies
the two girls as Mrs. Floyd Kinney and Mrs. Addie
MoQuinney.
It's nice to have these old pictures and also nice
to have the identification for the people in them.

Max Kelley is looking for something old and
authenic to put in his window. Max would Like to
make up a display of meaningful antiques for Nash
ville's Centennial celebration. I'm not real sure
what Max has in mind. I offered to go and sit in
his window, as a meaningful antique and a symbol
of the past. Max considered this for a few minutes,
but when be learned that I would require food, he
decided he couldn't afford me - so if anyone has
anything in the way of real oldmemorabelia that
would particularly depict Nashville a century ago,
Max would be real happy to display it in his w tn dow.
Our Centennial Banquet of last Wednesday was a
huge success so far as I could see. Attendance at
the affair was more than 1 had hoped for and the
high school cafeteria was filled. Everybody seemed
to nave a good time at the dinner. Of course, most
of us ate too much, but most of us said we wouldn't
eat the next day to make up for it.
The Jaycees Keystone Cops did themselves proud.
They arrested a number of citizens on trumped up
charges, produced a judge, tried the citizens, and
fined them on the spot. If this spirit continues, 1
anticipate Nashville's centennial celebration is go
ing to be one of the most outstanding that Michi
gan has ever had.
The High School is going to seem different when
vacation is over and the kids come back because
two of the students will not be returning to
high
school, but will be back in their homes in Chile.
Patricio Vielman and Jorge Martinez, both of
San Felipe, Chile, have been living in Nashville
and have been going to the Maple Valley
H igh
School for the past ten weeks. Patricio lived wfih
the Boughtons; Jorge lived with the Wayne Pennock
family. Both families are going to miss their Chile
an son and are sorry to see them go.
It has been good for our community and it has
been particularly good for our two homes to have
had these boys and to see a little bit of another cul
ture. These boys, like so many of the foreign stu
dents we have nad at Maple Valley in the past, have
made a place for themselves in our school and in
our town and they will not be forgotten.
I'm sure the Pennock family joins with the Bough
ton family in thanking everyone in the community
them. This can do more for world peace and world
understanding than anything I know. I'm sorry they
don't let Communist kids from Russia or anywhere
for that matter, come to our country on an exchange
program. I’m sure it would do much to increase the
understanding between our two philosophies.

�Muralist solves mystery
of French uniforms
Did the French soldiers at Fort Michilimackinac
wear bras or pewter buttons? Did they have blue
or grey cuffs? How tall were they, and what kind
of hats did they wear?
There may not seem like the most pressing prob
lems in the world. But when Dirk Gringhuis agreed
to paint a mural of the French period for Fort
Michilimackinac, he found answers to these ques
tions were few and incomplete.
Gringhuis, curator of exhibits at the Michigan
State University Museum, has been muralist at Fort
Machinac since 1963.
In 1967 be decided to solve the mystery of French
uniforms once and for all. He traveled to Canada,
and corresponded regularly with several museums,
'fora and scholars.
\
His resulu were recently published in a pamphlet
of the Mackinac Island State Park Commission. His
"In grey-White and Blue" is 12th in the Mackinac
History series, regularly distributed to history pub
lications, universities and libraries throughout the
country.
On completing his study, he immediately cor
rected the uniform of the museum figure in French
uniform. He changed the pewter buttons to brass,
added grey-white cuffs and a buff belt.
French soldiers averaged about five feet tall.
They often borrowed Indian gear when their own
uniforms wore out, or when the weather turned
cold.
Pictured above are members of the Hecker Agency basketball team which just re
cently won the Hastings City League Championship. From left to right, back row, are:
Roger Stuhrt, Duane McDonald, Rex Balch, Gregory Hoeffler and Larry Lenz. In the
front row are Bill Gibbs, Jerry Reese, Merle Martin and Larry Filter.
The team won their contest with the E. W. Bliss team in tournament play. Last
Tuesday night they played in the District Tournament at Lakewood. They lost to
Ionia by a score of 78 to 73.
’
These men, many of them school teachers, took time to play on this team along
with their busy schedule. The team is appreciative to Bill Hecker for sponsoring the
team, for buying the new uniforms and for offering his encouragement and support to
the members.
Supper to be held
The Annual Steak Supper, sponsored by the Eaton
County NFO will be held on Saturday evening, April
5. The supper will be held at the Maple Valley High
School and serving, will be from 5:30 until 8:00 pm.

ATTITUDES CHANGE
Public attitudes toward abortion law reform are
changing in favor of removing some of the ancient
restrictions, say two state Senators.
To reflect this sentiment. Senators Gilbert Bursley, R-Ann Arbor, and John E. McCauley, D-Wyandotte, are sponsoring a pair of bills in the legisla
ture to liberalize the abortion law.
One measure would give women the right to lea?
gle abortion for any reason, including family plan
ning, provided the operation was performed by a
licensed physician in an accredited hospitaL
The other would not go that far. It would limit
legal abortion to cases where the mother's physical
or mental health is endangered; where pregnancy
resula from rape or incest; or there is reason to
believe a deformed child will be born.
Bursley and McCauley said they offered the bills
together to give lawmakers a choice between going
part of the way or all the way down the abortion reform path.
Presently the life of the mother must be in dan
ger before abortion in Michigan is legally permit
ted. The Senators say this is unrealistic.
"The vast majority of the people of Michigan
would welcome legislation on this subject for hu
manitarian and pragmatic reasons," said a special
Senate study committee recently.
Tne committee recommended liberalization of
abortion laws. It noted that several other states
moved in that direction two yean ago.
Bursley said he talked with doctors, lawyen,
nurses, housewives, social workers, sociologisa
and theologians about the subject and concluded
that change is badly needed.
McCauley said be would prefer the Legislature
remove all restrictions because the question of
whether to abort a pregnancy " is a personal one
between physician and mother". He noted the bin
would not impose mandatory standards on anyone.
The Senators' effort has tne backing of the
American Public Health Association, which re
pons illegal abortion is a major cause of illness,
disability and death to tremendous numbers of
women every year.
About 100,000 illegal abonions are performed in
the United States every year, according to associa
tion estimates. McCauley said it would be "like an
ostrich sticking la head in the sand” to ignore the
danger they present.
Bursley said states that have liberalized abortion
laws in recent years have received many applica
tions from women in other states. He said this is
indicative of the feeling of the people.
Abortions are considered safe through the first
16 weeks of pregnancy by most medical experts.
After that, they become more difficult.
Association officials say one-fourth to onethird of all maternal deaths in the United States
are caused by illegal abortions. They say that
statistically, a legal abortion before 16 weeks by
a qualifier: doctor is safer than a normal pregnan
cy.
The legislative battle over the abortion issue
could rival that shaping up over state tax aid to
parochial schools in the 1969 session.
The Roman Catholic Church in Michigan began
organizing opposition to abortion law change last
fafi. A group called LIFE, (Life, Individual, Fam
ily, Education) was formed in parishes across the
state.
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion, un
der any circumstance, is the same as murder in
the eyes of God.
FEWER AND BIGGER
Farms are fewer,

. in,
Michigan, says Dr. Karl T. Wright, MSU agriculture economist. He estimates there are now about
80,000 farms in the state, a drop of 16% from the
last official census in 1964.
The amount of land tilled is dropping too. Fig
ures indicate that 18 million acres under production
in 1940 dropped to 13.6 by 1964. Wright expecu
the reduction to continue to 10 million by 1980.
Michigan's record is similar to other states.
There is a general decline in the number of farms
with farms growing larger.
Efficiency in farm machinery permiu bigger prof
its, but a farmer must have large amounts of land
to , work if he is to realize benefits of new meth
ods. New techniques and careful management pro
duce much more food and profit per acre than
ever before, but they leave no room for small
farmers who continue the methods of the "old fam
ily farm ".
More than half of Michigan's small farmers
have other means of employment. Wright says
the 56%, mostly in the lower part of the state,
work at jobs in addition to farm work.

Elected to membership
Press reveals the truth
During the 1968 elections many emotional state
ments, charges and counter-charges and smear at
tacks were made. Through it all, however, it re
mains wonderful in a democratic society for the
truth to come out at the end. I believe newspapers
rank above other mass media. At the present time
they are able to present various individual's qualifi
cations and performance with less sensationalism
and emotionalism. For instance California's super
intendent of public instruction. Dr. Max Rafferty,
advocated " bomb them back to the Stone Age" tac
tics while campaigning against Senator Allan Cran
ston for the United States Senate. We discover Raf
ferty's "flat feet" excuse exempted him from mili
tary service during the Second World War. He com
pares to the draft dodgers of the present time. It is
easy for a fifty-year-old man to be a warmonger
when his own life need not be committed.
In similar situations we also discover Senator Eu
gene McCarthy would rather support a strong south
ern conservative as senatorial leader of his party to
a northern liberaL At the same time we also discov
er many young college rebels are demanding higher
picketing wages because of their high living costs.
These demands have made college demonstrations a
profession instead of a conviction.
It is vitally important for the nation's mass media
not to manipulate the public's emotions for sensa
tional purposes but to use reason, logic and depth
research to make an informative and educational
presentation to the public. Our democratic system
is able to survive when voters are well informed of
the parties' platforms and each candidate's real qual
ifications and convictions.
Charles L. Irish of Nashville has been elected to
membership in the American Angus Association at
St. Joseph, Missouri, according to an announce
ment by Lloyd D. Miller, secretary of the associa
tion.
There were 475 memberships issued to breeders
of registered Aberdeen-Angus in the United States
during the past month.

BAROMETER
I don't think most of us realize how true it is that
we are living on the edge of a cliff, neve; knowing
at just what time we are going to fall over. All
civilization is on the brink of disaster. At
any
time somebody could push a panic button that
could set off the big bomb that could start the end
of the entire world.
Of course, man has always lived with natural dis
asters. From the time men first walked out of the
caves they have had to put up with floods, wind
storms, earthquakes and the like. Right now they
are saying that California is going to fall into the
Pacific.
Because we never know from one minute to t he
next when something might happen the civil de
fense people have suggested that each and every
family have a battery operated transistor AM-FM
radio so that they can keep in touch and know what
is going on and what should be done.
At long last, springtime seems to have come to
Michigan. Easter Sunday was a nice bright spring
day and it is just about time. As 1 remember it.

March did come in like a lamb and it sure went out
cold — like a cold lion. But now the little girls
are jumping rope, little boys are playing marbles
and the baseball season has got under way with the
tossing out of the first ball by the President. The
ground is soft under foot and the river is high.
While we didn't have a rough winter we sure
did
have a late spring. It seems to me the buckets have
been hung on the trees for two months now. From
this I would assume we have had a good syrup seas
on, though I'm not certain this is true. I suspect the
season is about over now and the trees will be bud
ding.
Spring sports schedule has started at the
high
school and among the new sports this year is golf
This is the first tune our school has tried to have a
golf team and it will take a bit of doing to get it
started. The team is in need of some equipment.
Coach Bill Gibbs is asking anyone who has odd golf
clubs he wants to get rid of to call him. The coach
will Uke them off your hands and put them to good
use training the new golfers.
Some lucky lady in our area is going to have a
free trip to Las Vegas. That is the prize in a con
test being run right now by Maker's Supermarket...
four days and three nights. This trip sound like a
real winner. Let's hope the lucky lady is also lucky
with the slot machines in the swinging town.

Dear John,
Was just going over the Maple Valley News of
March 13 - (You can see we don't discard them
right away) in the article, Board Considers Solu
tions - there is a paragraph stating the Maple Val
ley Jaycees were given permission to build a new
score board at the" Vermontville athletic field.
I wonder if you knew the one that was placed
there on the completion of the field was tn mem
ory of our son, Jimmy Bill who died in June of
1
1955.
At the time we furnished the material arRf the
shop class made the score board. There was at that
time a plaque attached to it.
We would appreciate it very much if the plaque
could be returned to us.
We do enjoy getting the paper. If there is any
thing in here you would like to make a news item
out of, please feel free to do so.
Sincerely,

old fire-barn. This addition to the library is needed
greatly. So now it will be necessary for all "libraryminded" community folks and all others to put their
shoulders to the wheel and help push this project to
a reality. We will need financial help as well as do
nated help in getting the fire barn into a library.
A young adult section of the library is one of the
aims. Here record player can be enjoyed and the
Zerox Reader used for study.
These are some adult books added recentlyBest Plays of 1967-1968. Night Before the Wed

NUMBER 47
Outdoor Art Show
planned for June 28
A meeting was held last week to make prelimin
ary plans for the holding of an outdoor art show in
conjunction with the Nashville Centennial Celebra
tion in June. Mrs. Eunice Priddy, chairman for the
Art Show, conducted the meeting.
The Show will be held on Saturday, June 28th,
outdoors, on the lawn near and around Putnam Li
brary. A $2 entry fee will be charged for all ex hibitors. All media will be acceptable for showing
and judging will be held of the entries. Each per
son is responsible for his or her own exhibit. A spec
ial prize will be offered for the best painting de
picting the Centennial theme. Ribbons and prizes
will be offered in various categories. Those artists
who wish to do so are encouraged to attend the
show dressed in the Centennial theme. This is not
necessary, however.
»
All persons interested in exhibiting art work are
encouraged to contact Mrs. Priddy for details.
Those wno are interested in helping in any
way
with the show, either the preliminary plans or dur
ing the day of the show, are also encouraged to
contact Mrs. Priddy.
It was also decided to hold a drawing for various
art work which would be contributed by the local
members exhibiting. Mrs. Lillian Garlinger will
make arrangements for securing these contributions.
Also discussed was the possibility of securing
prize money to be offered to the best entries. In a
previous contact with the Centennial Committee,
a contribution was promised which will be e a r marked for the prize given for the Centennial paint
ing contest. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce
offered centennial plates and coins for prizes. Fur
ther contacts will be made in an attempt to secure
approximately $100 prize money to be offered. Do
nations will be accepted from individuals or groups
who are interested in helping along this way. The
members of the committee felt that in offering
prize money, and having the show judged by some
one trained in this field, the show would be that
much more professional and attract more viewers
and exhibitors.
Barry farm designated
as Centennial Farm
A farm owned by Bruce and Dorotha Brumm of
1640 S. Price Rd., Nashville, has been designated
as a Centennial Farm by the Michigan Historical
Commission.
The farm, located in Castleton Township, Barry
County, has been in the possession of the family
since 1868, It was originally purchased February
17, 1868 by George and Elizabeth Brumm, grand
parents of the present owners, from Daniel Staley
and wife.
According to Secretary of State James M. Hare,
whose department directs the activities of the His
torical Commission, the Centennial farm program
in Michigan was established in 1948. Since that
time, certificates and metal markers have been a
warded to more than 2, 500 Michigan farms.
The program is administered under the direction
of the Commission, while markers are provided by
Detroit Edison and Consumers Power Companies.
According to Hare, a Centennial Farm is one
which has been in the continuous possession ofnhe
same family for 100 years or more. For this pur
pose, the Historical Commission considers a farm
to be 10 or more acres having estimated sales of
more than $50 yearly, or less than 10 acres but
having estimated sales of $250 annually.
Persons owning farms who wish to apply for Cen
tennial Farm certificates are asked to write for an
application to Centennial Farm Program, Michi
gan Historical Commission, Department of Sure,
Lansing, Michigan 48918.
Photos Available
Prints of many of the Centennial pictures
may be seen at the Maple Valley Floral Store
on Main Street.
Prints are available of photographs which
appear in the Maple Valley News, either those
taken by Mrs. Gladys Richardson or those ta
ken by the News photographers.
Prints are $2.00 for a 5x7 reprint and $3. 00
for an 8x10. These are being made available,
particularly with the Centennial pictures, be
cause of the many requests we have received.

was from March 20 to April 7 and he caught the allowed amount: 4 beavers and one otter. After pre
paring the hides, Mr. Van Hern said they would be sold for approximately $25 each.

Village experiences money pinch
Until monies start coming into the general fund,
the village of Nashville will meet only its payroll
expenses for the next few weeks. This was the de
cision of the council at its Thursday night's meet
ing. Presently the general fund money is about ex
hausted, but within the next few weeks state mon
ies, sales tax, and other reimbursements will b e
coming in and by mid-summer the taxes will be
due. Meanwhile, a tighten-up-the-belt policy will
be in force. It's like a family budget, some pigeon
holes are empty until dad's paycheck replenishes
the larder.
The police department made its report for the
past couple of weeks in which the department gave
eight assists to other departments; handled five mov ■
ing traffic violations; issued a number of parking
tickets; policed one property damage accident;
checked out two dog complaints; gave one citizen's
assist and participated in one court trial
Acting Police Chief, Kendall Wilcox, asked that
the village request the Michigan State Highway De
partment, when they come in to paint the lines a
long Main Street (M 66) to paint a double yellow
line from Washington Street south to the railroad
track. This will relieve some of the traffic prob
lems when cars attempt to pass, and swing over in
to the left land of traffic.
In a letter from J. Robert Smith, who has served
on the Lakeview Cemetery Board for 33 years, he
stated that "at the request of your village presi
dent, (Harold Christiansen) I am tendering my res
ignation as of April 11. " The resignation was ap
proved,- with regret, by the counciL This is the
second cemetery board member to resign in the
past two weeks. Vern Bivens was also asked to re
sign by Mr, Christiansen. After Thursday night's
council meeting Christiansen told the press his
reason for requesting the resignations was for age
and health reasons, and said both-men had done
an exceptionally fine job during their tenure.
During the council session Christiansen asked
the council to approve two replacements to the
cemetery board, that of Otto Dahm for a period of
two years, and William Sunt ken as treasurer for
three years. Approval was unanimous. The third
member of the board, Harry Johnson who is board
president, has one more year to serve on his pres
ent appointment.
Stewart Graham, recently appointed to the Wa
tershed Commission, reported on work of this de
partment, and told of future state plans regarding
reservoirs and flood control projects. He will at
tend the annual State meeting to be held in Lan
sing on May 8.
Last year Harold Christiansen who is president of
the Nashville Maple Syrup Association, and who
processes maple syrup during the spring season, pur
chased maple trees with his wages and donated
them to the village to replace some which had to
be removed. This year he repeated the procedure
and 38 more trees will be set out. Other persons
are showing an interest in the project and are mak
ing donations toward the purchase of more trees. •
On April 15 the village president, the Supt. of
Public Works, Jim Erwin, Supt. Carroll Wolff of
the Maple Valley schools, state engineers and rail
road executives, will meet at the Reed Street rail
road crossing to discuss conditions and improve
ments which could be made at the three crossings
within the village.
Due to an apparent lack of interest in leadership
for Nashville Boy Scouts, the lights and water are
to be turned off at the Boy Scout Hall on Middle
Street which is village-owned. The Lions Club is
withdrawing its sponsorship for the present, but it is
hoped some other organization will become inter
ested in the Scouts. Only a handful of boys turn out
for the meetings, and parent interest appears low at
the present time.
The paving of Maple Street from Main to State,
(300 feet), and the area on South Main from Pearl
to Casgrove is to be accomplished, hopefully be
fore the Nashvilje Centennial celebration June 26,
27 and 28. Estimated figures are in the neighbor
hood of $6,000.
The village hall asked permission from the State
Highway department to display a Centennial banner
across Main Street. They hope to have the banner
in place by May 1.
Approval for burying a capsule in Central Park on
Main Street just east of the circular sidewalk, con
taining information pertinent to village activities
during its first 100 years, was given, instructions
are that the capsule cannot be dug up until the year
2069. A marker, which formerly stood at the Put
nam Library, will be erected at the spot.
The village will provide for a trash pickup from
time to time this spring. They asked that aU trash
be placed in a container at the curb, but do
not
place anything in the gutters, as it hinders drainage.
The Nashville-Vermontville Jaycees are planning
a "Clean Up" along the Nashville Highway between
the two communities, with each community-repre
sentatives working toward the Maple Valley High
School building which is midway between the vil
lages.
Other matters concerned with insurance on village
equipment, a drinking fountain to be in place by
the Centennial, a discussion of village equipment
and insurance matters on village employees com
pleted the agenda.

The village of Nashville is celebrating its Cen
tennial this year. The village was named for a Gar
audus Nash who was a civil engineer helping build
the New York Central railroad through this village
100 years ago. While Garaudus Nash never lived
here, he suggested to the townspeople that the vil
lage be named after Um, and apparently enough of '
the early pioneers approved the idea to call th is
, community Nashville.
To the Samuel L. Hamilton family,' the Carroll
Hamilton family now of Lansing but many years
residents of Nashville, and to the children of their
deceased sister, Mrs. Ina Hamilton-DeCker, the
Centennial has special meaning. Their greatgrand
mother, Nancy Nash-Hamilton, was a sister of Gar
audus Nash. ‘
Samuel Nash, who lived from 1806 to 1875, had
nine children, including a son Garaudus and a
daughter, Nancy. Nancy married Samuel M. Ham
ilton, and they had a son whom they named Nathan
Augustus Seymore Hamilton, whose initials spelled
"NASH". Nathan married Araminta Kennedy, and
their son, Clyde, was the father of Samuel L., Car
roll A. and Ina Hamilton.

Once again spring has arrived, and with the freez

maple producers will be selling syrup and maple
products on Main Street Festival Day as usual.
Everyone here has started planning to make thir
Festival one of the very best. Karen Wilmore, 17

Mrs. W. A. Vance of Charlotte announced the
plans for celebrating Michigan Week which includ
ed a Heritage Day dinner at the Charlotte Masonic

each day ano the Historical Society expects to be
actively envolved with some of them.
•
Mr. John Wilde, 92, of Charlotte, told about his
grandfather who helped build warehouses and docks
at Greece, New York for the loading of cargo to be
carried on the Erie Canal between Albany and Buf
falo. The Bostwicks, who named Charlotte, lived
across the street from the Wilde family in Rochest
er, N. Y. at that time.
Mr. Ed Morey of Charlotte, brought some o 1 d
maps for the society to observe.
Mr. Stewart Graham of Charlotte, president of
the society, and Mrs. Graham gave a short talk a
bout their recent tour of Mexico and showed color
ed slides of Acapulco and other places where they
had traveled. They also stopped at Charlotte, Tex
as, and said it was an oil town with buildings on
Main Street that resembled the setting for a western
movie.
.
A social hour was spent enjoying refreshments
served by Mrs. Bertha Sederlund of Charlotte; Mrs.
Paulita Lisle and Mrs. Ozelma Shance of Potter
ville.

tle guys. Dresses and vests may still be ordered
through Geneva Brumm, Centennial secretary;orders should be made soon as shipments are now com

From our Hilltop House we could see the
first picnics in the park Sunday.
I think we have more bashful ladies than
gambling ones among our customers, judg
ing from the fact that only 13 have registere<f so far for the All-Expense Paid Trip to
Las Vegas. Now, the only gamble necessar
ily involved here is that you may win the
trip or not. Any housewife over 21 may en
ter but Maker's will send only one winner.
It's a sure thing the winners - 800 from all
over the country - will enjoy themselves in
the luxury of the Dunes Hotel, a jet flight,
guided tours, top entertainment; and girls no cooking or cleaning for 4 days! So come
on down to Maker's and register.

last week Wednesday on Social Security.
The future Teachers sponsored the International
Assembly two weeks ago. We all miss Patricio-and
Jorge who returned to Chile during our spring vaca

Margaret Ripley brought us the record, "Pledge
of Allegiance by Red Skelton." Bruce Hulbert has
brought us many records by outstanding artists.
The fourth hour government class had a farewell
party for Jorge and Patricio Friday, April 4.
Mr. and Mrs. Miles showed over a hundred color
ed slides of Europe to our World Georgraphy classes.
Mrs. Miles was the former Ann Shilton.
Pam Formaz dropped in. She is starting her nur
ses training in Lansing. Billy Yost is home after
surgery on his injured hand. He was wounded in
Vietnam. Ron Keesler dropped in also. He is at
tending school in Flint. He will play on a semi
professional football team this summer. Jeanne
Viele is doing her practice teaching and loves ev
ery minute of it, David Stairs and Steve Eaton met
unexpectedly in Vietnam two weeks ago. Both were
surprised but after the shock they talked "like mad"
David said. Gwinn Byington is going to Japan with
a study group. They leave San Francisco in July.
The American Government classes studied the
Commerce Department. Under this they found
trade marks. Each student developed a trade mark
for a new product and several tried to sell theirs to
the class. Steve Joppie even furnished samples of
"Steve's Non-soak Crackers.”
We have now finished our reports on water pol

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, April 17, 1969
�Annual report - Castleton Township
This report covers the period from April 1, 1968
to March 31, 1969.
Another year has become history for the Town
ship. As time goes on township 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. This
report covers the projects that have been active in
Castleton Township for the past year and in parti
cular the part the Supervisor has played in these
many areas.
One of the major projects this year was the es
tablishment of a completely new dumpsite. This
was worked out in cooperation with Maple Grove
Township. Over the years the two townships have
had marry projects in common and we feel that a
very good working relationship exists between the
two municipalities. Some eight acres were pur
chased on the Ralph Prudden farm for a dump site.
Many days were spent in getting the dump ready
for use. This involved grading, making a whole
new road, measuring property lines, preparing a
deed to the property.
We appreciated tne help and cooperation of the
County Road Commission in grading and widening
the approach as well as culverts and gravel furnish
ed to the dump. Since opening of the dump in Sep
tember, we have had compliments on furnishing
this service to the townships. The Township Board
was taken on a tour of various sites and just before
the dump was opened to the public I had 21 calls
from people looking for a place to dump their junk.
Since that we have not lacked for customers. The
dump is open only on Saturdays 8 to 5 and other
days the gate is locked.
The ambulance service has worked out very
smoothly and we feel that the people appreciate
the service rendered. The past year brought us 98
calls and at the present time, April 4, 1969, the
number stands at 107 calls made since the start of
the service on March 1, 1968. We feel that the
people want local service at a reasonable rate and •
that is what we are tiying to maintain.
Now a report on a few of the other areas that I
have beenznivolved in. Up until January 1, 1969 I
served as chairman of the County Equalization
Committee. This was educational as weli as chal
lenging; however, we feel that county assessments
are on a more equal basis through the use of State
equalized values. During the year the two town
ship trustees were appointed Fence Viewers. They
have made a few checks on fence lines in question
and fences that need rebuilding. Some of these
fence disagreements have been solved; others are
still in the process. We have had considerable dis
cussion with the Penn Central engineers as to the
condition of their fence. This is in the process of
completion at the present time. The supervisor
was put in charge of Dog Damage. Two calls were
checked out. The county drain, known as the
Witte Drain was reopened and the expense of same
spread in the taxes of those affected. Several zon
ing checks were made with County Zoning Admin
istrator.
Trailers and Mobile homes are becoming more
of a problem, but so far we have been able to
solve problems here satisfactorily, we hope. Much
time was spent in meetings on the new state wide
plat law.
No new plats have been put in the township dur
ing the year but when there are stiffer requirements
will have to be met. Considerable work was done
on cemeteries. The price of lots was changed to
$50.00 per half lot; an $100.00 for a full lot in all
of the three cemeteries within the township. Flag
markers were checked and painted. The Barry Coun
ty Historical Tour stopped at the Barryville Ceme
tery to view the grave of Chief Asquesah.. Arthur
Morgan and Howard Hobert are taking care of the
cemeteries.

Road work consisted mostly of repair and snow re
movaL Wc do have a black top project in the mak
ing for 1969, but plans are still a little indefinite
due to the cost of roadwork of any nature. During '
the year the property known as the Holman ArtGal
lery was purchased as possible site for a new fire
barn, we hope, in the near future.
A petition from property owners at Thornapple
Lake regarding boat control was duly processed and
turned over to the Department of Natural'Resources
for action. All supervisors took a county road and
bridge touL Plans are under way to replace all five
of the old river bridges. It looks like Greggs Cross
ing bridge might be the last to go and when that
happens it win be a major project for the township.
A naif day was spent with conservation officers Burns
in checking some of the dug channels within the
township. We have had a very large change in real
estate ownership. This has required many days of
my time in checking addresses, property descrip
tions and values.
As good times continue, this requires an ever in
creasing amount of time on the supervisor's pan.
Twenty-one building permits were issued and this,
together with the building in Nashville, has tended
to increase the total township valuation considerably.
I alsoserved on the County Social Services Commit
tee where I was known as the only one out of five to
oppose a building authority. I think that the public
should have a chance to vote on large expenditures
such as buildings.
Welfare becomes an ever increasing problem.
What connection I have had with it I begin to won
der if it can be stopped. However, I have takenseveral people in to help them apply for welfare aid,
and in each of these cases I feel that they are justi
fied or I would not help them apply in the f i rs t
place.
I feel that we have a person, Wayne Pennock,
who will represent our township effectively on the
County Board of Commissioners. I have enjoyed
working with Wayne and he has attended several of
our board meetings. I attended two Michigan town
ship Association conventions.
Spent considerable time correcting the township
map made by Rockford Map Co. An entirely new
printing system is being set up for the tax roU. This
seems to be a job that never quite catches up with
property changes. Time has been spent with J udd
Cooley in checking changes in property within the
village limits of Nashville. Judd andj must check
not only for identical assessments, but also identi
cal senior citizen and veteran exemptions. New
legislation brought higher exemptions to veterans.
In addition, I served on the election board, counciled with village council, served as ambulance
secretary and treasurer, attended an area-wide su
pervisor’s meeting at the Lakewood High School,
served on Board of Review four days where we got a
few complaints as to high taxes and valuations. In
view of the present real estate market we have no
choice but to increase valuations under the present
law. The property tax has about squeezed itself
out and we need something to replace iL

Top students named
To use the worn cliche "It's a Woman's World"
clearly describes the honor students of the 1969 grad
uating class of the Maple Valley High School this
year.
The valedictorian is Alice Linsley, daughter of
Mr. and Mis. Lloyd E. Linsley of 112 Cleveland
Street, Nashville. The salutatorian is Vickie Lundstrum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lundstrum,
11723 Kinsel Highway, Nashville, and completing
the ten top students, all girls, are Carol Eldred,
Marabeth Van Blarcom, Barbara Snow, Nancy Weil
er, Debbie Wright, Patsy Stanton, Barbara Frith,
Karen Benedict and Kathy Fox. There are actually
eleven girls named because of a tie for sixth place
and also for tenth place.
Alice Linsley is a member .of the National Honor
Society, the Youth Education Studies Club, played
drums in the band, was the Homecoming Football
queen last fall, and has been a member of the Girls
Athletic Association.
Vickie Lundstrum is also a member of the Nation
al Honor Society, the Youth Educational Studies, is
Um, They ate, from left to right: Carol Eldred,
secretary of the Art Club, served as reporter for the
Future Homemakers of American Chapter for the
past two years, is a member of Maple Valley Pep
Club and reported school news for the Maple Valley
newspaper during her junior year.
Both girls plan to attend Lansing Community Col
lege next fall on State of Michigan scholarships.
In announcing the honor students, high school
principal Leon Housler said he had had close associ
ation with {he 82 members of the graduating class,
inasmuch as these were his first students when he be
came a member of the teaching staff of the Maple
Valley district back in 1963. In commenting on the
fact the girls swept the field in taking the top hon
ors he said; "This doesn't indicate there aren’t
smart boys in the class. The biggest asset the giris
have over the boys is they seemed to be character
ized by, or attentive to tiny details, more carefully
followed instructions and completed their assign
ments, and it paid off. And had we needed to in
clude one more name in the "top ten" it would have
been a boy."
In the class of 83 there are 42 girls.

l think everybody at the high school is to be con
gratulated on the terrific success of the musical
* 'Lil ALner" which was produced and presented by
the kids at the high school. It was delightful to sit
in the audience and watch the performance and I'm
sure everyone in the audience thoroughly enjoyed
the production. At the same time, the kids in the
cast seemed to be having a real ball entertaining
us. They did a real professional job of it too.
One of the nicest things about the musical, aside
from the fact that it seems so much fun to produce,
is that it gave so many an opportunity to perform.
Dorothy Carpenter tells me that the cast included
almost one hundred people. W ith this many people
on the stage, one would hardly expect enough left
over for the audience, but, on Friday night at least,
they were playing to standing room only.
So, while.they are giving our Tony awards
on
Broadway this week, I would like to nominate our
school with its production of Lil Abner for an award
of some sort. I think it was wonderful.
Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that Satur
day is a nice bright, sunshiny, warm day. It seems
this is the least we could ask We only nave the Sy
rup Festival one day out of the year and it sure
would be convenient if somebody could arrange to
have some nice weather for it. I guess we haven't
had it too bad in the past. As I can remember it,
most of the years that I have been here have had
fairly good weather for the Syrup Festival. So, as I
say, let's keep our fingers crossed. These people
who put the festival on work hard for an entire year
to make this the success it turns out to be.
Meeting planned to
discuss tractor pull
A meeting will be held April 24th at 8:00 p. m. in
the Junior-Senior High School Agricultural room
(C-4) to make a decision regarding the type of trac
tor pulling contest which will be held at the Nash
ville Centennial.
Mr. Mick Rockafellow, Vo-Ag Instructor at the
Maple Valley School, is in charge of the meeting
and urges all who have an opinion in regard to the
rules, etc,, for the coming event, try to attend
Thursday's meeting. There have been some sug
gestions for weight changes for the pulling contest
and also a change from straight pull to percentage
pull.

days later he may return and if be finds his clothes

He will dress and return to work as if he had never

ON TOUR 29th MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL
Planning committee to meet
The Vermontville Community Planning Commit
tee will meet April 29th, (Tuesday) at 7:30 at the
library. There will be more discussion about the
planting of maple trees in town.
All townspeople are urged to attend.
RANDALL
Syrup queen's essay
The following essay was written by Karen Wil
more, the 196ff Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen.
Miss Wilmore lists her interests as 4-H, Pep Club,
Girl's Athletic Association, horseback riding,
showing cattle, cycling, drawing and painting
and sewing. She is a junior in the Maple Valley
High School and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Norman Wilmore, of Route 1, Vermontville.
Being a native of Vermontville, I learned about
making maple syrup at an early age through school
and by visiting sugar shanties. Every spring we
would look forward to seeing the syrup pails hang
ing on the trees.
Through studies at school, I learned that the In
dians were the first to make a form of maple syrup.
This knowledge they passed on to white settlers.
The Sugar Maple also known as the sugar, rock or
hard maple is the kind of maple tree that is tapped
for sap. This tree grows in various parts of the
United States and Canada. The manufacturing of
sugar and syrup is important in Vermont, New York,
Canada ana also here in Michigan. Other New Eng
land states make syrup also,
Maple syrup is made in late winter and early
spring, depending on the weather. When the nights
are cold and the days are warm, the sap starts
flowing. When this happens, the trees are tapped
and covered pails are hung to prevent getting dirt
in the sap. The pails hang about three feet from
the ground and a metal or wooden spout drains the
sap from the tree. After the sap is gathered, it i*
boiled in a form of big pan until the water that is
in the sap is boiled away into steam. The sap is
then maple syrup and it is strained and put in cans
. or made into sugar.
Vermontville has always been a leader in the
production of maple syrup and sugar. Annually the
Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival is held to give
,
syrup producers a chance to sell their syrup and for
the people of Vermontville to get together and
have a good time. The syrup is sold in all kinds
of containers and it also is graded in competition
to see who has. made the purest and best syrup and
sugar. The Syrup Festival is advertised in newspa
pers, on television and over radio. This brings
guests from many states and also guests of many
ages. The day is always highlighted by two parades
and also a queen contest. The winner of this con
test goes on to represent Vermontville in many
>
parades and in the National Maple Syrup Queen ■’
contest. The queen always invites the people she
meets to visit Vermontville on the day of the fes
tival. Vermontville also has an association of
syrup makers who represent Vermontville in nat
ional competition.
To sum everythin
small town, Vermoi
one of the best known
and one of the most well liked towns in the coun
try. The reason is the production of good maple
syrup and the hospitality that is always shown at
the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival and every
day of the week.

IT’S FESTIVAL TIME. AGAIN! VERMONTVILLE’S
29th ANNUAL MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL is coming
up SATURDAY, APRIL 26
Once again spring has arrived, and with the freez
ing nights and warm days of late winter, Vermont
ville’S maple trees started producing sap to provide
the town with the product that has labelled it "The
Sweetest Little Town on Earth." Therqjs a smaller
than average supply of syrup so far this year, but
maple producers will be selling syrup and maple
products on Main Street Festival bay as usual.
Everyone here has started planning to make this
Festival one of the very best. Kkren Wilmore, 17 •
and a junior at Maple Valley schools, has been
chosen to reign over this year’s festivities. Last
year's queen Karen Benedict will represent Michi
gan in the National Maple Syrup Queen contest to
be held in New York State soon. Governor Milliken
has been asked to crown the new queen, and we hope
be can be with us Festival Day.
The "sap house" or "sugar shanty" will be open
Festival Day to let you see the process of boiling
sap. Instead of sap, which spoils if held over, water
will be used, but-it will show just how syrup is pro
cessed. Plan to visit Maple Manor to see this inter
esting process (in abbreviated form time-wise)!
Pancakes, sausages, and pure maple syrup will be
served by the American Legion and Band Boosters
all day. The local churches start serving delicious
dinners around noon. Hot sandwiches are sold by
the Eastern Star Chapter, and the Sugar Hut Restaur
ant will be open all day for meals.
If you plan to bring your camper and spend th
weekend, the nearest campiqg facilities are at
Camp Thornapple, Inc. on Tnornapple Lake. We
suggest you contact them at Route 1, Nashville,
Michigan 49073. The nearest state park is Yankee
Springs, Barry County. All the surrounding towns
have motel rooms at reasonable rates; Charlotte,
Hastings, Nashville, Lansing and Battle Cicek are
less Than 30 miles away.
Saturday. April 26 is the BIG DAY! The day of
ficially begins at 9:30 a. m. and the coronation of
the new queen and presentation of her court follows
at 10:00. While the grand parade doesn’t start until
1:00 p. m., the children's parade begins at 10:30.
The fascinating AHgaier family of Kalamazoo en
tertain from the stage at 11:30 and 2:00... plus,
there's bands, barbershop quartets, horses, and
more. Be sure to see the contests. There's wood
chopping, the pancake derby, and more. Prizes
are given for the oldest person present, the perso
who came the farthest to attend, and so forth.
There will be a baseball game and carnival rides;
pony pulling contest, too.
Be sure to see Vermontville's new museum, lo
cated in one of the first buildings in the colony.
For your convenience Festival Day, portable toilets
will be set up in various places.
. The Chamber of Commerce and the Festival Cor
poration issue this invitation to join us Festival Day

the 29th maple syrup festival in this rural commun
ity Saturday.
Highlighting the morning activities was the coro
nation of the 1969 maple syrup queen. Miss Karen
Wilmore, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Wilmore of Shavtown Road, Route 1. Karen, a
brownette with brown eyes, is a junior in the Maple
Valley High School. She was crowned by the retir
ing Vermontville queen. Miss Karen Benedict who
last month was named Miss Michigan Maple Syrup
queen, and who took second place in the National
Maple Syrup Queen contest held earlier this month
in New York State.
The girls were introduced by high school princi
pal, Leon Housler who also introduced the alternate
queen, Maurene Viele, and the members of the
queen's court, Kathy Barrette, Nancy W innie and
Linda Wright.
Other forenoon events included the official wel
come by the village president, Vernon Trowbridge
and remarks by the Vermontville Maple Syrup Fes
tival president, Mrs. Amos Haigh, and the presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, Kenyon Pea
body. The Children's Parade took place at 10:30
a. m. and there were approximately a dozen e n tries. First place went to Andrew Joostberns, 8, his
brother, Tony, 7 and Joel Merchant, 8, whose en
try was a replica of the Vermontville Municipal
Sugar Shanty. Second place went to the Burr Hartenburg children for their "Sock It To 'Em--with Maple
Syrup products," and third place went to Donald
Martin whose entry was a combined Michigan Week
and Maple Syrup display. Honorable mention was
given Geri Lehman who was dressed like a pancake,
and Greg Sebral and Craig Link for the "Sap House."
Judges were Mrs. Austin Zimmerman and Mrs. Rex
Balch, both from Vermontville. During the morn
ing and afternoon music was furnished by the Marsh
mallow Conspiracy, a 'rock and roll group from
Lansing, and the Allgaier Family, a musical group
from Kalamazoo.
At noon announcement was made of the winners
in the syrup and foods competition. Syrup produc
ers and their wives compete for these honors. Ma
ple Syrup production is a family effort in this area,
and in the contest both the husbands and wives have
a chance to display their skills in various lines.
Mrs. Carl Gearhart took four first places, in ma
ple syrup, maple candy, maple cream and the
sweepstakes. She also took second place for maple
sugar and in the miscellaneous division. Another
big winner was Mrs. Leo Malcuit who took three
firsts, in maple sugar, maple pie and maple cook
ies; a second in maple cakes, .third for maple can
dy, maple cream and the sweepstakes, and fourth
in the miscelleneous division.
George Hubka took second for his maple syrup.
Archie Martin took third for maple syrup and also a
second in the sweepstakes and third in the miscel
P
laneous division. Amos Haigh took fourth place for
maple syrup; a first in the miscelleneous division;
second for maple cream and fourth for maple sugar
and in the sweepstakes. Willard Hubka took fifth
for maple syrup. Other winners were Mrs. Harold
Benedict who took third for her maple sugar and
Mrs. Olive Corey who took a first for her maple
cake and second for maple candy.
Mrs. Carl Gearhart who took four firsts said she
had made 1, 200 gallons of syrup this year. "This is
better than the past two years," said Mrs. Gearhart,
but not one of tne best. I started tapping early, Feb
ruary 15, and started making by the time we got
the last of the buckets hung. This continued through
the first week in March, then it turned cold—and
nothing for two weeks. ”
The Dig event of the afternoon was the Grand
Parade. The new queen and her court were featur
ed in the parade, and there were ten floats vieing
for honors. First place went to the 11th graders of
the Maple Valley High School. This colorful float
read, "I'd Walk a Mile For Real Maple Syrup and
Pancakes." The junior group of Girl Scouts took
second place; the tenth grade, third place; the Kalamo Boy Scouts took fourth, and the Vermontville
Cub Scouts, fifth place. The judges were Mrs.Christine Emery of Charlotte and Mrs. Jewell Byington
of Grand Ledge.
Marching bands in the parade included the Pot
terville High School group, and the Maple Valley
Junior and Senior bands.
Throughout the day the Band Boosters and Ameri
can Legion Post served pancakes, sausage and ma
ple syrup and coffee. In all, the two groups used
approximately 50' pounds of coffee, 500 pounds of
pancake flour, 1,000 pounds of sausage and over
50 gallons of maple syrup. No one can say exactly
how many pancakes came off the long rows of grid
dles—but it was well into the thousands.
A pancake derby and woodchopping contest were
held in the late afternoon. There was square dan
cing in the street in front of the grandstand, and a
pony pulling contest. The Festival closed with a
dance at the Opera House in the evening.

Sure signs of spring.... The kids had the canoe
out for trips down the river the last two weekends
in a row. A week ago they saw a deer on the banks
of the river between Vermontville and Nashville.
Yesterday they saw a Great Blue Heron. Of course
they saw the general run of snakes, turtles and oth

Sure signs of spring... The fields are newly turn

Church merger passes
Beginning Sunday, June 1, United Methodists in
Nashville will worship and function as one congre

Officials present for this occasion were Dr. Harold
A. Jayne, superintendent of the Lansing District,

Lawrence R. Taylor, superintendent of the WestDis
trict of the former Evangelical United Brethren Mich

A slate of officers was elected to serve the united
congregation through 1970, selected equally from
each of the uniting congregations.
Among the leaders chosen were: Chairman of Ad
ministrative Board, Max Kelley. Chairman of Coun
cil on Ministries, Wallace Graham. The Lay Lead
er, J. E. Smith.
Financial Secretary, Mrs. Donald Skedgell;
Church Treasurer, George Vogt, Jr.
Trustees: Wm. ,R. Dean, Eldon Day, Wayne Pen

me that after such a big day as Festival Day is,
the entire village can be cleaned up by noon of
the next day. That takes a lot of cooperation and
a lot of work on the part of everyone involved.
Sure sign of spring... Cardinals have built a nest
in one of our little pine trees and spend the day
carrying food in. All day long, bright flashes of

Sure sign of spring... Little lambs are bouncing

Another sure sign of spring... I have that old

like to spend the day lying on my back in the new

The recent uproar in the newspapers about the
dangers of DDT are rather frightening. The worst
part of the whole thing is that we knew years ago
that the indiscriminate use of pesticides was going
to cause trouble. Rachael Carson, a very knowledgable woman, pointed out to us at least ten
years ago in Silent Spring that we were doing a
terrible thing. She documented what was happen
ing to many forms of wildlife because of our con
tinued use of hard pesticides.
There is something about men that precludes tak
ing any action on something of this son until it is
either too late or almost too late. We have waited
until some of the fish in Lake Michigan are so satur
ated with pesticides that they are no longer safe to
eat. And we are not the only ones.
In California, people are worried because the pel
icans have been eating plankton saturated with DDT
washed down to the sea. This results in pelican eggs
with shells so thin that the mother pelican can not
sit on them without breaking the shell Some see
the end to the pelican because of this.
There is little doubt that our excessive use of
pesticides has hurried the demise of the great eagles.
These birds, never common, have become so rare
that many people go through an entire lifetime
without ever seeing one of them.
I don't think we realize what a beautiful system
of checla and balances Nature provided us with un
til we start trying to tip that balance.
When men start eliminating whole species of an
imals, they start realizing that those animals, now
gone, had a place in the scheme of things.
Actually, the animals we are trying to eliminate
or to at least control, the insects, are the very ones
who seem best able to resist our efforts. They have
set up immunities against most of the chemical con
trols WE have developed. The other animals, who
eat the insects who are filled with this material are
the ones being eliminated.
I read somewhere, that in all of the years man
has been fighting with insects, he has never yet e
liminated a species of insect. But he has eliminated
many species of higher animals, reptiles, mam
mals, birds.
The world has gone through many stages and many
ages where certain animals were the most prevalent.
The world went through the great age of reptiles.
The very few snakes and turtles we have today are
leftovers from that age. And they are dying oft'
fast.
We are in an age of mammals now.Scientists
claim the next great age is going to be the age of
insects. The chief mammals seems to be doing his
best to see that age come.

Seaman Apprentice J. D. Schaub, USN, of 157
Seminary St. , Vermontville, returned to the gun
line off the coast of South Vietnam aboard the guid
ed missile destroyer USS Goldsborough.
The Goldsborough shelled two large enemy mili
tary complexes, to neutralize the enemy threat to
American troops conducting a sweep through the
coastal area 50 miles southeast of Chu Lai.
The aerial observer for the Division counted a t
least 14 enemy bunkers, 25 support structures, and
two tunnel storage areas damaged or destroyed by
direct hits from Goldsborough's gunfire.
After the destroyer completed firing against the
well-entrenched enemy, the US troops resumed
their sweep through the area.
While deployed, Goldsborough is serving as flag
ship for Commander Destroyer Division 112.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1969
�Commended for highway work
At the Nashville village council meeting Thurs
day evening the clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, read a
citation from the Michigan State Legislature com
mending the highway clearance workers for keeping
the highways clear of snow and debris. This is the
fiat such award Nashyille has received.
President Harold Christiansen reported on the
findings of the recent meeting held for discussing
some Improvements which could be made at the
three railroad crossings within the village. The "S’
curve at the Reed Street crossing is the most pro
vocative, and is also the most difficult one to im
prove upon. It would be best if a flashing red light
could be installed there, but the cost appears to be
prohibitive. Some corrections have already been
made in widening the street at the point, but still
the condition presents a problem when school buses
attempt to pull into the area at’an angle where the
driver can see down the track in both directions.
This crossing is still under study. Improvements will
be made at the Sherman Street crossing by remov
ing some unused ties, and then the area will be
blacktopped. The M-66 or Main Street crossing, is
to have some grading done, and some blacktop add
ed.
Mrs. Gale Keihl was reappointed to the Putnam
Library Board for two years, Mrs. John Hamp for
four yean, by the president and approved by the
council.
The council voted $500 to be paid the Fire Board.
They also okayed the transfer of $1,264 from the
improvement fund to the incidental fund. Permis
sion was granted to close Maple Street from Main
to State Street for the three-day Centennial cele
bration June 26, 27 and 28. The village will ask
the Michigan State Highway department for permis
sion to close M-66 from Washington to Reed Street
to the north for a water battle from 6 to 9 p. m. the
opening day of the Centennial celebration. Permis
sion was also given for using dye in the sewer lines
in order to check out some of the lines.
For some time there has been talk of putting up
a new water tower in the southwest part of the vil
lage for a more adequate water supply, and also be
cause the tower in Putnam Park is in poor condition
and the cement base is deteriorating. The village
checked on costs a couple of yean ago, and Thurs
day evening the council voted to ask Williams &
Works Engineering Company of Grand Rapids to get
present day costs.
Acting Police Chief Kendal Wilcox gave the po
lice report. The department has policed two traffic
accidents, handled one larceny complaint and one
malicious destruction of property complaint, issued
five traffic moving violation, severalother moving
violations and issued a number of parking tickets.
They also provided five assists to other departments.
The police department is in need of suitable fire ex
tinguishers to be carried in the police car and a first
aid kit.
There was discussion on insurance for village-own
ed equipment and a suitable monument over the cap
sule which is to be buried in Central Park during the
Centennial The village plans to have a new drink
ing fountain up by that time also. The council also
approved purchase of a new lawn mower, and discus
sed the purchase of a new sump pump for use by the
street department.
Stewart Graham reported on the plans of the May
or Exchange Day program which may be read else
where in this issue of the newspaper.

The Jaycee Maple Valley Keystone Kops are har
assing and executing plans of action to prosecute
any violators of the Centennial celebration customs.
The Kops have arrested a small number of viola
tors. The latest appearance of the Kops was in Ver
montville. The Kops caught, subponeaed, charged
and fined several outstanding and respectable citi
zens. Their sentences must be carried out or the
violators must go to the Keystone JaiL
The Kops are a non-secret organization whose
whole purpose is to promote, incite, or do anything
else that will increase excitement about the Nash
ville Centennial celebration activities. It would be
a good suggestion that each and everyone observe
the customs of the celebration by wearing the ap
propriate pins, hats or ties. Who knows, your best
friend may report you to the Kopsl

AROMETER
Nashville has a new Queen!
Of course, it lias always been my opinion that
Nashville is full of queens, but this one is OfficiaL
Cathy Mix, the 18 year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Mix of Nashville was crowned Centen
nial Queen at the Coronation Ball last Saturday.
Queen Cathy and her court really have their work
cut out for them. According to the rules of the Cen
tennial Committee, Cathy must reign for the next
one hundred years, when Nashville will celebrate
its 200th anniversary. Or - at least she doesn't have
to worry about being out of a job.
. Attendance at the Coronation Ball was good, I
would say. Everybody there seemed to be naving a
marvelous time. The Keystone Kops helped get
things off to a flying start when they held a kang
aroo court and sentenced everybody at tlie party to
follow Queen Cathy in a performance of the HokyPoky, and that will loosen your old muscles up.
Anyway, congratulations to Queen Cathy and to her
court. I am sure they are young enough that they
will be around to turn over the crown to the new
queen one-hundred years from now.
I went down to the dam to take some pictures
Sunday and the river down there is beautiful, except
for one thing. Some clods have come along a'n d
thrown garbage and debris along the banks of the
river. Tnat could be a beautiful spot, there below
the dam and behind the milt It could be a beauti
ful spot, that is, if people would only let it.
It is gening that time of year again... The sen
iors are talking about the senior trip and making
preparations for it. The talk around the school these
days is about the Junior-Senior Prom... Some of the
kids are counting the days on the calendar now...
Only a few more days ot school and then vacation.
My daughter, who is taking Driver's Ed., is just
a bit concerned about what she is going to do when
she is called upon to drive our Mustang which has a
manual shift. These days of automation know only
the automatic transmission... This comes as some
what of a shock to an oldtimer like L who
w as
brought up on the Model-A and the Essex Super Six.
This is one place where I have the kids at a disad
vantage. They think I am remarkably skilled be
cause I can run through the gears of a manual trans
mission. They don't realize that it just come nat
urally to me. That Terraplane was a real car.
Julia Swartz, an English teacher at Maple Val
ley High School has made arrangements tor sopho
mores to go over to Hastings to see the film Romeo
and Juliet. Amy and I went over to see it, and we
both think it is one of the best films we have ever
seen. Shakespeare, old as he is, lends himself
well to the new and modern techniques to film
making. It should be a real experience for our stu
dents to see and hear the greatest of English liter
ature.

we have enough to add four pages, we sometimes
find we must leave a few items put.

what’s a
funny
place for
a phone?
That depends a lot on your sense of humor. If making
tracks across a clean carpet to get to a telephone leaves
your wife a little less than happy, then perhaps there’s
nothing so funny about an extension telephone in the
garage or workshop.
Extension telephones make sense. They save time by
letting you use a telephone wherever you are.
Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your
telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month
(plus tax) you can put an
ZjnX
extension in any funny old Michigan Ball [

place you’d like.

t *
Try some Michigan Hybrid seed corn --we still
have it in bushel bags and also because of our direct
connection with the grower we are able to sell for
less per bag.
M, F. sells for $12.00 per bushel. Small and L. F.
are $8. 00 per bushel. Single Cross 402-2X at $20.00
per bushel. S. F. at $15. 00 per bushel and to top it
off there will be volume discounts for 5 and 10 bush
el orders.
Now to see how these corns yield we can check
(Corn Hybrids Compared) put out by Cooperative
Extension Service of MSU and you will find that
these are consistently the dryest at harvest and a

The April F. T. A. meeting was held Monday night
April 28. Teressa Wells and Floyd Sylvester gave a
report on the State FTA Convention held at St.
Mary’s Lake April 18 - 20. There are 70,000 Future
Teachers in the United States. Ten thousand ate
in Michigan. Each club was limited to two dele
gates at ute convention. They were told to be aware
of the social changes. They must try so help them
selves and others. There is no such thing as a sec
ond class citizen.
One speaker said problems start in the junior high
and reach their peak the senior year. Also, a school
is not a good school until it has at least one teacher
from a minority group.
An election of officers for our Maple Valley Chap
ter was held for 1969-1970.
President, Floyd Sylvester; vice president, Twilla
Marsh; secretary, Teressa Wells; treasurer, John
Eastman.
The next meeting will be May 12.
Mrs. Fixster, Mrs. Baas, Mrs. Green and Mrs.
Kalnbach attended the Michigan Council For The
Social Studies at WMU April 25 - 26. The Friday
night dinner speech was given by Dr. Jess Walker on
" Reaching and Teaching the Disadvantaged. " The
following are some high .lights of his speech.
” Do we as teachers ^dream things that never were
and say why not?' Why did the Joo Corpsman fail?
He failed self. His teachers failed him. His parents
failed him. Certainly society failed him. Many liv
ed in a fuzzy bottle. One youth said it was awful in
side. He could look out but never touch and never
participate. Forty percent of young failures, how
ever, are self failed. Many drop out of school be
cause they couldn't keep up with a group and felt
inferior. 6This is a waste of democracy which we
can not afford."
It is true that in 1969 economy dictates to us.
Every year we waste so many talents and contribu
tions that the forced retired could give. Many of
these are super-skilled. There is pressure to keep
people in scnool longer and by the time our 1969
nigh school graduates reach fifty-five they may re
tire on a good social security. Think of the w a s t e
this could be to our community, to our nation.
Many of our young do not reach their expectations
because they are frustrated, full of anxiety, rebel
lion and riot. They resent the establishment, yet
time and time again the rioter has no plan. There
are two ways we may go. First — provide education
to prepare young people to cope for and with society.
Second — we can create a welfare state. Our fail
ures will not get lost in society. Our present school
system has neglected the disadvantaged and the
worst of all is the migrant worker. Michigan will
have no need for migrant workers by 1972. Machines
will replace them. These disadvantaged people will
be trapped. What have we taught them about life?
What are we teaching our students about the use of
their life in society - how to live with other p e o pie? We must educate to create a sane world.
We still tolerate slums. Why can't we see what it
means to be a member of a minority group or to be
poor? Teachers must teach compassion in their
classrooms. The text book must not be the deter
mining factor of what the child learns.
Parents and teachers must bring their own lives
under control or they can't help a child to develop
a life of self control and a healthy personality. We
must bring that child to the place where he can fit
into the society of the world of today. Help him to
say;
”1 ain't what I wanna be, I ain't what I gonna be,
But Thank God I ain't what I was. "
F. H.A. BANQUET
"Fashion Flings For Spring" was the theme of this
year's annual FHA banquet held May 1st. The pre
sentation cf awards and degrees, installation of new

Nashville and Galesburg have been paired for
Mayor Exchange Day during Michigan Week this
year, and these two communities have something
in common which probably cannot be repeated any
where in the sure. Both communities are celebrat
ing their Centennial this year.
Already Nashville's village president, Harold
Christiansen has a beard and mustache, and he'll
feel quite at home when he steps into the 100-year
ago atmosphere of his hosting community.
Attending from Galesburg will be Mayor and Mrs.
Frank E. Oviatt, treasurer Wendell Hoag and Mrs.
Hoag and city commissioner Dale Schieoer and Mrs.
Schieber.
Accompanying Nashville's president to Galesburg
will be village clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell and James
Erwin, superintendent of public works, and his wife.
The members of the committee arranging plans
for the day in Nashville include Cecil Barrett,
James Rizor, William Hecker and Stewart Graham.
The two visiting groups will meet in Battle Creek
for a coffee hour before each group proceeds on
their way for a busy day of visiting.
An official welcome will be given by Nashyille's
president Pro-Tem, Frank Scramlin. a Key to the
village will be presented at this time. This will
take place either at the village hall or Central
Park, downtown, between 10:30 and 11:00.
A tour of the Baby Bliss factory and the postoffice
will take place before lunch. Following the lunch
break, tours will be given of the Plycoma plant.
Camp Tbosnapple, the sugar shanty, the libraryand
also Charlton Park.
The dinner will be held at the Fuller Street
School at 7:00. All persons are invited to attend

NUMBER 51
Board votes to include
$1,295,000 bond issue
The Maple Valley School Board voted Monday
night to include a proposal asking a $1,295, 000
bond issue for certain improvements to the present
faculties and for construction of a new school with
twelve regular classrooms, science and storage
room, arts and crafts room, music and storage area,
gymnasium andlocker area, library, admimstration area, kitchen and storage area, mechanical
rooms and other storage areas.
The improvements would include a 3-stall bus
garage area, office, drivers rooms, toUets and a
storage area adequate to store 24 vehicles. The pro
poses money would also be used to add a new boiler
room to the Kellogg School and the removal of the
present boiler room.
The proposed new Middle School would be for
grades six and seven and would be located near the
Jr. Sr. High School building.
In the Board's discussion of the coming election,
Monday June 9, it was brought out that the only pe
titions for including names to the baUot for school
board members came from incumbents Wallace

LETTERS to EDITOR
The following letter is one which Mrs. Julie
Swartz received this week and is self-explanatory.
Mrs. Julia Swartz
Maple Valley High School
Nashville, Michigan •
Dear Mrs, Swartz..
Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve
your group with the Wednesday morning showing of
'■Romeo and Juliet. " We appreciate this business and
sincerely hope each student enjoyed the performance.
I would also like to uke this opportunity to say
how impressed I was personally with each student's
manner and courtesy. Too many adults of my gener
ation, perhaps myself included, are too quick to
lump all teenagers into one pot; the good along with
the bad.
We are wrong to do this. They are quite a gener
ation; well advance for their young yean and I am
impressed.
Most sincerely,
Gordon M. Bennett

Farm Bureau members serve
as Civil Defense workers
Several Barry County Farm Bureau members have
assumed the county-wide responsibility of serving
as Civil Defense workers.
Bill Barr, County Civil Defense Director; is work
ing closely with this group headed by key men
Bob Wenger, rural Middleville area; Marvin Smith,
south Hastings area; Lee Cairns, southeast Hastings
area and John Decker, Delton, Pine Lake and Hick
ory Cornets area.
Serving as workers under these four key men are
forty other Farm Bureau members, covering the
entire county area.
,
The main responsibility of these workers will be
to go into areas when they are notified of a disas
ter such as tornadoes, severe storms, or nuclear at
tack to relieve law officers of some of the routine
jobs such as directing and controlling traffic, keep
ing out unauthorized people.so that the enforce
ment officers can see to more important rescue
work. The workers will be in authority to do this
type work. It might also be necessary to have some
of the workers with large farm machinery such as
big tractors, loaders, scrapers or chain saws, to
help clear debris from roads and building areas.
Mr. Barr pointed out that the reason Farm Bureau .
members were asked to uke over this program was
Summer jobs sought

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday,
the fact that they are probably the easiest’overall
group to contact, they cover the entire rural county
area, they have the most big equipment and emer
gency equipment at their fingertips, they know bow
to handle livestock in case of destruction in a rural
area. Many farmers also have portable generators
and because of their outdoor work, they many times
are aware of severe storm conditions and be ready
to go immediately. They also know the area very
well and the layout of the homes and buildings, and
can recognize most of the residents and their fami
lies.
The main method of com munication to get work
ers into an area will be a telephone chain call plan.
The keymen will be notified of a "tornado warning"
and they in turn will call two designated men who,
in turn, each call two more until all workers are
notified. Each worker will have a chart of the tele
phone plan, and in case he can not reach his desig
nated man, he will automatically by-pass him and
call the next people in line, the re-by completing
the warning system.
All of the workers are also requested to listen to
radio WBCH where they will receive more specific
information through a code system as to where dis
aster areas are and how much help is needed. In
case the storm should uke WBCH off the air, Mr.
Barr then emphasized that the same information
would be given over neighboring radio and TV sta
tion*. He also pointed out that FM radios are very
desirable in case stohn conditions arise after AM
broadcasting is required to go off the air.
,
In many cases, industry and churches will be co
operating in the civil defense effort* by providing
manpower and buildings which could Be used for
emergency housing, feeding and medical airLSome
of these groups have been contacted and others will
be in respect to providing this much-needed help.
There is a possibility that the workers will be of
fered a medical first aid course in the future so
that they can become more adequately trained to
rescue victims. Workers who are now trained in
first aid will be of value to the rescue effort.
Mr. Barr gave some of the following suggestions
and remarks at the recent workers' meeting:
Farmers and others with portable generators
should give their name and location to one of the
" key men" listed at the beginning of this article.
Also, those with heavy moving equipment or any
one who thinks he might have something specific
of value to a rescue effort should pass this along to
the keymen or the County Farm Bureau office.
The workers will be issued identification which
they should have with them at all times, and will
be readily identifiable in an emergency area.
He commended Barry County Farm Bureau for
undertaking this most important responsibility and
stated that Barry County Farm Bureau is the first
in the state to do this type of civil defense work.
Mr. Barr also stated he was most impressed with
the enthusiasm and cooperation of the workers.
The director asked that if anyone saw a tornado
forming or a threatening cloud, he should immedi
ately place a collect call- to the Grand Rapids
weather bureau and ask the operator to stand by.
As soon as they have reported the location of this
possible danger, they should ask the operator to
call the Sheriff’s office at which time they report
the same information, then call one of the ” key
men" to report their sightings. They should then
listen to their local radio station for further infor■ mation.
Tornado Watch means tornadoes are expected to
develop.
Tornado Warning means a tornado has actually
ueen sighted.

The Postoffice Department has designated the
week of May 19-24 as Mailbox Improvement Week.
Each year during the month of May-, one week is
selected to encourage the rural patrons to examine,
and improve where necessary, the appearance of
their mailboxes. To provide mail receptacles which
are designed to protect the mail from the weather,
and which are neat in appearance, conveniently lo
cated, and safe to use. Neat, attractive mailboxes
make a significant contribution to the appearance
of the country side and our village streets served by
the rural carrier.
Mailboxes of the approved traditional or contem
porary design are required, whenever a mailbox is
newly installed or the present receptacle is replaced.
Patrons still using obsolete, top-opening boxes may
continue to use them at the same location, provid
ed they are kept in a serviceable condition and oth
erwise meet the requirements.
Where box numbers are assigned, the name of
the owner and the box number must be shown on the
side visible to the carrier as he approaches, or on
the door where boxes are grouped
Rural mailboxes must be located on the right
hand side of the road in the direction traveled by
the carrier wherever it would be dangerous to serve
the boxes on the left or where this would be a vio
lation of state or local traffic laws or regulations.
Rural carriers are subject to the same traffic laws
and regulations as are other motorists. Boxes and
supports should be kept painted and free from rust.
Boxes should be installed with the bottom 3 and
3 1/2 feet from the roadway.
The cooperation of our rural patrons wjjl be
greatly appreciated by your rural carrier and your
postmaster.

Does your banker stick around on Saturday so you
can get a loan, make a payment or cash a check?
That’s the reason we added an extra hour and a half of
banking time to every weekday ... including Saturday.
We have a lot of customers who used to forget to bank
on Friday. They switched to Michigan National Bank
because we stay open all day
Saturday ‘til 4:30 p.m.
They call us "The Saturday
Bank.”
We believe we should be open six days a week with
“customer hours.” We let the other banks have the
“banker’^hours.”
If you have trouble with a
short bank day and weekend
banking, why not switch to
“The Saturday Bank” with
4:30 hours.
Many of these people are the
same ones that used to say, “It’s
after three and I forgot to go

NUMBER 52
Board votes to include
$1,295,000 bond issue
The state department.of education has given pre
liminary qualification of bonds and approval for the
scheduling of a bond election at the annual election
to be held on Monday, June 9. At the annual elec
tion you will also be electing two members for four
year terms on the Board of Education. Incumbents
wallace Graham and Herald Hansen were the only
two people to file petitions as candidates by the
deadline date May 12.
The bond election will be in the amount of
$1,295, 000 and will include the following facili
ties.
1. A new school bus garage that will replace the
present garage located on Reed Street. This garage
will have a three stall bus service area and storage
space for twenty-four vehicles. This would be lo
cated at a central location, and all the busses would
then be kept in one area. Considering the larger ca
pacity size of the busses being operated today plus
the increased number of busses, it is necessary that
additional maintenance space be provided. Also, it
is generally accepted that our maintenance cost
could be reduced by having all the busses housed in
side.

Nashville Postmaster to
host Area 7 meeting
Postmaster Wilma DeCamp will host Area 7 of the
Michigan Chapter of The National Association of
Postmasters of United States on Friday evening. May
23, 1969 at the VFW Post 8260 building at 7:30 pm.
The dinner is being prepared and served by the VFW
Auxiliary.
All postmasters in Area 7 are invited to attend.
This area covers all of Barry,
Eaton, Clinton,
Ingham and Ionia counties. Ruth Reed, Postmaster
of Dloverdale will assist.
The Centennial theme in costume will be car
ried out as much as possible with the local partici
pants and also the taele decorations to funner hon
or the Centennial Year in Nashville.
The State officers of NAPUS plan to be in attend
ance also.
2. Kellogg Elementary building (former Nashville
High School Building). A new boiler room and auto
matic gas furnace would be installed eliminating
the boiler room which is now located beneath the
classrooms.
1 A new middle school would be constructed near
the Jr-Sr. High School sire to house students in the
sixth and seventh grades. By moving the sixth grad
ers from the elementary buildings, it would be pos
sible to have more sections in the lower elementary
grades helping to eliminate some of the large class
room enrollments. The seventh graders would be
moved to the new building, and it is generally felt
that the students of this age could adjust better to
the educational program in a building housing the
middle school grades.
Centennial program complete
The complete program for Nashville's Centennial
celebration, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June
26/27 and 28, is now complete. This Wednesday
evening the Centennial Committee will meet for
final reports on the various committee-activities.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p. m. at the Castle
ton township hall.
It is now planned that the new middle school
would include twelve regular classrooms, science
room- and storage area, arts and crafts room, music
storage area, gymnasium and locker area, library,
administration area, kitchen and storage area, me
chanical rooms, and various receiving and storage
areas.
This building would be designed in such a way
that would allow for expansion in future years if the
enrollment continues to grow. Any possible future
expansion would then involve the addition of possi
bly the fifth and eighth grades to the middle school
building.
At the time of construction of the present Jr-Sr
High School and the Elementary additions in 1964
65, it was estimated that the enrollment for the
present school year would be approximately 1, 595
students. The official membership this year for
state aid purposes was 1, 853 students. This year we
will graduate eighty-two seniors, and we now have
a kindergarten enrollment of one hundred seventy
eight students.
What will be the cost to the taxpayer? The Board
of Education plans to participate in the school bond
loan program which would lower the annual debt re
tirement millage. This program allows a school dis
trict to borrow from the state bond loan program at
a low interest rate to help pay the annual debt re
tirement and interest costs on the bonds. The a mount of funds that might be borrowed if necessary
in relationship to the local levy is controlled by the
local valuation of the school district. Considering
that the Maple Valley District is a low, valuation
district with only $6900 behind each student this
year, the district will qualify for participation es
pecially when we consider that the average state e
qualized valuation per student in the public schools
in Michigan is approximately $14,000.
Presently the district has been levying 6. 9 mills
for debt retirement. The increased aebt millage for
the new bond issue would not exceed 1.75 mills
through participation in the state bond loan pro
gram, based upon the present school bond loan leg
islation.
The Board of Education and school administrators
would be willing to meet with any group to discuss
the proposed bond issue and the participation in the
school bond loan program. If your organization de
sires to have some representative of the school meet
with any group or organization, please call 852
9699 or contact one of the board members.

Mayor Exchange Day in both of the villages went
off well and everyone seemed to have a good time.
Vermontville exchanged with Ravenna and Nash
ville exchanged with Galesburg. Galesburg, by the
way, is having a centennial afio so we had some
thing in common with them.
Because I am still working in Lansing, Chris went
over to Vermontville to take pictures of their Ma
yor Exchange. The Vermontville group visited the
School, Michigan Magnetics, Thrun's Sugar Shan
ty, had lunch at the Sugar Hut Cafe and yound up
with a banquet in the Griswold Room. Stan Trumbell was the toastmaster for the banquet. The Mu
seum was open in the afternoon and they visited
that.
In Nashville visitors went to Charlton Park, Plycoma, the Library and Baby Bliss, among others.
The Nashville rest hour, before dinner, was held
at the home of Mrs. Sena French and I was put in
charge of the punch bowL True to my tradition I
bolixed the whole thing up. ... Mrs. French put the
ice in the punch bowl and it must have been too
much for the cut glass because suddenly and with
out warning the bowl just split in two, drenching
me with punch. It is a good thing that I live just
across the street or I would have had to spend the
rest of the evening in wet clotnes. I went home to
change and even my socks were wet.
The people from Galesburg mentioned the fact
that our community seemed to be much more co
operative than most communities.

Well, this Saturday is the big day for many of the
ladies in our community. This is the day planned
for the last outing of the season of the Nashville Wo
man's Literary Club when they plan their Flea Mark
et in Central Park. From what I hear, there will be
a little bit of many things - furniture, antiques,
dishes, clothing, perhaps even a few jars of jams
and jellies - and providing the weather cooperates,
they should net a hit of revenue for their Library
Room project. Many cf the ladies will be dressed in
their centennial outfits - so perhaps a stop at Cen
tral Park on Saturday, will be worth your while. If
this is a successful venture, they plan to make it an
annual event.
; j
The colored pictures which we .took of many cou
ples at the Coronation Ball recently have arrived
and those who had these pictures taken may pick
them up at the News office.

�Visitors enjoy exchange
of ideas, problems, solutions
Delegates from the two communities of Nashville
and Vermontville visited other communities Mon
day during Mayor-Exchange Day and both brought
back the s>me comment that these communities
had similar problems. One person from the V e rmontville group said that almost the first word
which was mentioned when they began to talk about
their various communities was sewer". The Mayor
of Nashville, Harold Christiansen, commented that
the streets in Galesburg were in pretty bad condition
and the reason they weren't making improvements
was that they were in a "sewer” problem and had
to solve this condition first. An exchange of ideas
regarding solutions to these problems and many oth
ers, was a high point in both visits.
As the group of delegates left from Nashville,
approximately 30 persons gathered at the Post
House in Battle Creek including the visitors to Nash
ville for the day, the group coming from Galesburg.
John Hurley, Mayor of Marysville also attended the
meeting and he continued on to Springfield for the
day's activities.
Mr. Harold Christiansen was accompanied on his
trip to Galesburg by Mrs. Ada Skedgell, clerk, and
Jim Erwin, superintendent of Public Works, and
•
Mrs. Erwin. Members of the Nashville group who
were hostesses and hosts to the guests for the day in
cluded Mr, and Mrs. Bill Hecker, Mr. and Mrs. Ce
cil Barrett, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Graham and Mr.
and Mrs. Jim Rizor. Bill Cassidy provided a police
escort.
.
Guests from Galesburg included Mayor and Mrs.
Frank Oviatt, Wendell Hoag, city treasurer, and
Mrs. Hoag, and city commissioner Dale Schieber
and Mrs. Schieber.
Frank Scramlin presented the Key to the City to
the visitors and corsages were given to the ladies.
Their tour of interest during the day included vis
its to the Plycoma Plant, Camp Thornapple, The
Sugar Shanty, the Putnam Library, Charlton Park,
Baby Bliss and the Postoffice.
A dinner was held in the evening at the Fuller
Street School in conjunction with the meeting of
the Nashville Lions Club. A social hour was held

Stewart Graham served as the host at the dinner
and presented various gifts of Centennial items to
the guests. The Keystone Kops made a surprise en
trance and gave subpoenas to the guests, and pro
vided a bit of additional color and fun.
During the visit in Galesburg, Mr. Christiansen
said they visited many places of interest including
a chicken packing plant, the Burgess Seed Com
pany plant, the Fire Department of the village,
and also sat in on a council meeting which was
held for the freshman class at the Galesburg-Augus
ta School, giving an opportunity to explain to
these young people some of the workings of the gov
ernmental body of the village.
During the day tne Nashville visitors were taken
on an airplane ride around the Galesburg area. Mr.
Cecil Burg, the vice-mayor of the community, con
ducted the visitors on their tour during their visit,
assisted by others in the community
As stated previously, the sewer problem and bond
issues were discussed and the school was visited. In
the planning stage at this time, is a project for the
building of a regional airport in the vicinity of
Galesburg, which would make tremendous changes
in the population and economy of the area.
A dinner was held in the evening at Inman's with
approximately 40 persons attending.

�Begin to worship
as one congregation
Mother-daughter banquet
More than 150 mothers and daughters attended a
banquet held for them by the Women's Society of
Christian Service of the United Methodist Church of
Nashville in its west building on Tuesday, May 13.
Several families were represented by four genera
tions, and some others by three. Three mothers
past the age of 80 were also recognized. Many were
attired in centennial dress. Special among these
was Mrs. Norman Sandbrook in her husband’s grand
mother's wedding dress, circa 1895.
Mis. James E. Smith was program director and
introduced readings by Mrs. Floyd Nesbet, Mrs. En
nis Fleming and Mrs. Wayne Pennock. Two choral
selections were offered by a group of teenage daugh
ters directed by Mrs. Robert Boyer and accompaniedby Mis. W. R. Dean. Later Mis. Smith directed and
accompanied a group of younger daughters as they
sang a tribute to mother.
•
Mrs. Morris Brown was decorations chairman, and
assisting her were Mrs. Boyd Olsen and Mrs. Glenard
Showalter. Men who helped with the serving were
Fred Ackett, Nelson Brumm, Karl Pufpaff and Wil
liam Dean.
The toasts were given by Mrs. Wayne Pennock and
her daughter, Loraine. Mrs. B. J. 'Varner asked the
invocation, and the benediction was the singing of
"God Be With You Till We Meet Again."
A freewill offering for missions amounted to near
ly $50.

An era of service will conclude Sunday for the
building at Washington and Phillips that housed the
former Evangelical United Brethren congregation.
At 10 a. m. on May 25, that congregation will hold
its last worship service in that building Beginning
Sunday, June 1, the two United Methodist congre
gations in Nashville will worship and function as one
in the building at Washington and State.
The former EUB congregation has experienced
other denominational .mergers. In 1922, the United
Evangelicals merged with the Evangelical Associa
tion to form the Evangelical Church. In 1946, the
local congregation became Evangelical United
Brethren as the Evangelical and United Brethren de
nominations merged. "However," states Pastor Var
ner, "these first two mergers affected the local con
gregation very little, for there were no churches of
the other merging denominations in the community.'
But when the EUEs and Methodists merged in Dallas,
Texas, in 1968, Nashville then had two United
Methodist Churches. The congregations then decid
ed they could best serve and witness by becoming
one body locally as well.
The congregation on Phillips invites anyone, es
pecially those who were members, baptized or mar
ried in this building, to join with them in a final
service of gratitude for the years of service and oc
casions originating in its building.
Officers elected
Ronald L. Roberts has been named to a new sales
assignment in southwestern Michigan, representing
the Allied Mills Company. Mr. Roberts joined the
organization in 1968 as territory salesman after 4
years experience as a vo-ag instructor. He resides
in Syracuse, Indiana.

Plan Open House
Officers for 1969-70 were elected Tuesday night
for the Women's Society of Christian Service of the
United Methodist Churcn of Nashville from a slate

This is Michigan Week. We have various ways
of preparing for this ■ special week in which w e
pay tribute to our beautiful sand-and-water-bound
state, but all too soon in the season, litter abounds,
and sometimes it's hard to see the beauty we have
inherited.
Perhaps each of us — taxpayer, sportsman, outdoonman, parent, child — could now make a
Michigan Week Resolution to become a Special
Conservation Officer, to do everything possible to
Keep Michigan Beautiful and Clean. Teach your
children — and practice what you teach — Never
Litter -- if there's no. place to put your trash, take
it with you, and pick up after that careless, lazy
person who was there before you — we do and it
doesn't hurt a bit.

Plan 3rd Maple Valley
Alumni Banquet, June 14
The third annual Maple Valley Alumni Banquet
and the 73rd one for the Nashville Alumni will be
held on June 14th.
In 1966 the Nashville group asked the Vermont
ville and Maple Valley Alumni to join with them.
1967 was the first time they all met together.
This year's banquet, which is being prepared by
the Maple Valley junior class, will be served cafe
teria style at the Maple Valley High School from
5:30 to 7:00 p. m.
Tickets which are $2.00 plus 500 dues may be
purchased in Vermontville at Brigg's Hardware jack's
Standard Service, and Trowbridge Service. In Nash
ville at Randall Lumber Co., Frith's Leonard S e r vice and Maker's IGA, and in Hastings at Gilmore's
Jewelry store. Also you may call or write Robert
Gardner, Route 2, Vermontville, phone 726-0331.
The dinner will be followed by a business meeting
and program, in the auditorium, featuring slides
and a talk given by Charles Murphy of Hastings on
the trip around the world he completed earlier this
year.
,
Alumni officers for this year are: President, Vern
on Trowbridge; vice president, Gene Service; treas
urer, Robert Gardner; and secretaries, Lois Barton,
Marilyn Roush, Iris Wion and Ava Kroger.
The four secretaries have mailed more than 2000
invitations. Even with this number out, many ad
dresses were not known so many may not receive in
vitations.
Reservations for this banquet should be in by June
second.
The school will be open at 5 p. m. for those wish
ing to tour the building, or for groups that would
like to use a room for visiting with friends.
The Alumni association, friends, MV class of
1966 and Maple Valley Jaycees have purchased and
installed two large display cases to hold pictures
of all the graduating classes. These cases are to be
on display in the high school building. Some of the
class pictures are missing, and if anyone has pic
tures which they would loan or give to this project
they are asked to notify the alumni association.
They would also welcome any photos of the school
buildings or grounds in any stages of construction.
■
Class photos missing include: For Nashville, 1930,
1931, 1933 and any class pictures prior to 1928 ex
cept 1898, 1917 and 1918. For Vermontville: 1889,

this activity the necessary publicity in your organi
zation.

merce, 945-3232.
GRETA FIRSTER B-5
Dorothea Gunther, Hamburg, Germany, was in
Nashville and Vermontville April 25. I was not at
home so she left a message.
Saturday evening Mrs. Baas, Mrs. Kalnbach and
I drove to Albion to see Dorothea. She was the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Youngs. Dorothea was
an exchange student in 1960. She is now in college
and working on her PhD. She said she has never for
gotten her association with Maple Valley High
School (Nashville then). To all her'classmates she
sends her greetings.
'
We had some up-to-date colored film strips on
"Seeing China" from the Coronet Company. They
were filmed by Miss Roper who received grants from
the Carnegie Corporation Fellowship, The US State
Department, and a British Council grant. One
fourth of the world's people live in the People's Re
public of China. There are twenty provinces. The
capitol is Peking. The northern plain grows wheat
and rice. China is just beginning to exploit their
natural resources. A veiy big factory in China pro
vides for the pre-school and primary education of
the worker's children. The children learn reading,
writing and arithmetic and a subject called "Com
munist Morality." They are taught to be honest,
hard working and faithful to the ideas of Mao. They
are taught respect for. older people.
China is now producing large quantities of con
sumer goods. The pedicab has replaced the rick
shaw. There are few private cars. China has many
heavy industries. China has developed many new
scientific methods during her 3728 year history. The
Chinese gave us the compass, gunpowder, printing
and paper made from wood and rags. Ancestoral
worsnip kept them from developing into a great
world power.

BLACK IS MY COUNTENANCE
By CALVIN MITCHELL JR.
Black is my countenance,
I stand here alone
Midst a sea of white faces
All turned to stone.
I once was a Black Man,
The fruit of the earth,
Proud, rich and free,
Of Africa my birth.
Thy gold was my rattle.
My marbles were pearls.
Thy people my heritage
Known around the world.
I once was a slave
Sold for cash
To any with money
And a driver's last
I once was a Nigger,
All shaky and scared
When I saw the white faces
And the fangs that they bared.
" Blackness is evil,"
Or so I was told,
"You were uncivilized
Before you were sold.
White stands for goodness,
and you’ll never be,
So I'll just oppress you,
You'll live under me.
I'll call you Darkie,
Sunshine, and Boy,
And I'll treat you just like
a great big Black toy.
I once was a Negro, Puny and meek
And led by "Tom" leaders like a
Bunch of Black sheep.
Then a cry was heard.
Late one dark night.
If white stands for goodness
Why's the white man still white?"
I've discovered my history
Dates longer than you.
Of princes in Songnay,
and Timbuctu".
Then came a transition.
And the old ways were spurned.
A "New Breed of Cats, "
Yelled "Bum Baby Burn."
"A new day has come,
And I'm here you to tell
That I'll have mv freedom.
Or I'll make this place Hell! ”
I'm proud of my Blackness
And one thing more.
I'm proud and I'm free
And I'll serve you no more.
I now am a Black man.
In proud Blackness I stand.
And to all who gaze on me,
They see a new man.
But my fight is not ended;
For this is a land
Where all of my brothers
Can't walk hand in hand.
When this is accomplished,
The whole world will see
Blacks walking toward
Their own destiny.
Black is my countenance.
But no less the dear, •
I'll cling to my natural.
And cherish the spear.
They rise now from Wans,
Harlem, and Tobacco Road,
Heads proud and held high.
They cany their own load.
The tide now has turned.
And one day I know,
They’ll bestill the cry,
"Let my people gol I *

�Dreams come true for Sam
Sam Sessions can't remember when he didn't
want to race.
Not, for that matter, can he remember when he
didn't dream of driving in the Indianapolis " 500."
He does recollect, though, pretending to be at In
dianapolis while piloting his first tricycle.
Sam is luckier than some men, because his dream
came true.
It was May a year ago, and a 49-year-old grand
father named Chuck Stevenson decided the company
he was keeping was too fast. Ending a successful
stepped out
driving career -v
that spannedj 21 years, he stei
of the Valvoline Special in wh
' 'he 'had tried for
'hich
days to get up sufficient speed1 to qualify for a ”500'
starting berth.
'T’hs* rnr’e rw
The car's owner, Tassi Vatis, and chief mechanic
Bill Finley were left without a chauffeur. But that
was the break Sam Sessions needed.
He asked for the job, got it and in short order had
the car safely in the lineup for last year’s "500. "On
Memorial Day he pleased himself and everyone else
connected with the car by rolling home in ninth
place.
* Actually, last year wasn't the first time Sessions
made the trip to Indy. He passed the test for rook
ie drivers at the big speedway in 1966, but failed
to get his Federal Engineering Special into the race.
A year later he tried to qualify a radical Mickey
Thompson entry with four-wheel steering.
"I succeeded in scaring myself to death in that
car, but that’s all," Sessions says of his 1967 Indy
effort.
Sessions, who is 33, began chasing his dream 14
years ago in boats, racing outboard-powered hydoplanes on the lakes and rivers around his home
, town of Nashville.
In 1957 he started driving old-model stocks and
super modifieds. A year or two later he graduated
to the International Motor Contest Association cir
cuit, which has served as a training ground for many
Indianapolis greats, including Bobby Unser, Parnelu
Jones and A. J. Foyt.
Sessions estimates he won something like a hun
dred feature events in super modifieds before moving
up to United States Auto Club sprint and midget
competition in 1965.
In four years of USAC racing. Sessions has a c cumulated about four main-event victories each in
spring can and midgets. Two years ago he finished
the sprint season as runner-up to national champion
Greg Weld.
Sam Sessions' rise to the big time has been any
thing but meteoric. But skill and determination
have taken him steadily upward. And there has been
helpful advice and encouragement from Rufus Gray,
whose sprint car Sessions has driven for the past three
seasons, and from fellow driver Bobby Unser.
"A lot of people have helped me, " Sessions says.
"But Rufus Gray gave me my first big break inUSAC
racing, and Bobby Unset gave me some good tips a
bout running the dirt tracks. "
When you can climb into an unfamiliar car as
Sessions did last year at Indy, and wheel it to ninth
place while competing against some of the world's
finest drivers, greater achievements shouldn't be far
off.
A number of people are betting bigger things are
ahead — Sessions himself for one, ofcourse, and
then there are Tassi Vatis, owner of the Valvoline
Special; Bill Finley,..................................
his chief mechanic. Sessions'.
wife, Betty, and thelit 13-year-old son Jerry and
daughter Ginger, 11,
Sessions tends to get ecstatic when he talks about
the new wedge-shaped Valvoline Si
Special Finley has
prepared for him.
nim. The car's turbocl
turbocharged Offenhauser engi
engine — the kind that powered last year’s
winning car -- is putting out something like 675
horsepower, and Sessions anticipates no problem ac
hieving the 168 or 170 miles an hour that will prob
ably be needed to comfortably make the starting
lineup.
Following the " 500” on Memorial Day, Sessions
will campaign the Valvoline Special on the USAC
championship circuit. His strategy will be thesame
in every rhce:
"We're going to stand on it and go fast. "

Chamber considers offering
free outdoor summer movies
Thirty-five persons attended the May meeting of
the Nashville Chamber of Commerce last Wednes
day evening. Following the usual reports of the sec
retary, treasurer, etc., a discussion was held on
new business.
Mrs. Brumm read a communication from a m a n
who would come to the village and present an out
door free movie, once a week during the summer
months. The man would bring a concession stand,
(the cost would be $20 a week) and would need to
have a place provided for showing the movie and
access to 220 volt electric current. A motion veto
ing the holding of this outdoor movie was defeated
and a second motion to at least investigate before a
decision was made, was accepted. Further commun
ication will be made, obtaining more facts about
the proposed showing of movies.
John Boughton discussed the possibility of obtain
ing color post cards which could be maae available
for sale in the community. A committee was ap
pointed to investigate the time involved and the
cost. This committee was composed of Nelson
Brumm, John Simon and John Boughton.
Cecil Barrett gave a report on the plans for Ma
yor-Exchange Day. Max kelley reported that no
particular retail promotion plans were being made
for the period
of time during the CentenniaL
John Simon reported that Mrs. Eunice Priddy had
requested (in the event of rain on the day of the art
show) that space be provided in the various stores
for the visiting artists to set up their exhibits. John
mentioned that he felt sure the various stores could
be used in this way, and urged cooperation.
NASHVILLE
Bill Hecker showed two very interesting color
films about driving safety precautions. These films
are the ones which are shown to the classes during
Driver Education through the school, and showed
some of tiie reasons behind the various rules of safe
driving.
In the meeting held Tuesday, May 20, further
discussion was held in regard to the holding of out
door movies during the summer months. Points of
discussion included whether a contract must be
signed for the entire summer season, whether the
bringing of the movies would cause a clean-up prob
lem afterwards, whether enough people would be
interested and attend the movies,
the best lo
cation which could be provided for the showing of
the movies, and also whether a bringing of an un
desirable element into the community would be a
possibility and a problem.

Because death usually
occurs in a family only
once each dozen years, it
naturally creates an emotional crisis, A funeral
director must be called - one
in whom you have complete
confidence. Well-meaning fete
friends, neighbors, clergy
men, doctors, should not pre
sume to call a funeral
director without consulting
members of the family. To
the next of kin belongs the
sole right of selection ofthe funeral,director.

Special Indian exhibit
to be on display
Last Sunday Mr. Rodney Deyo, treasurer of the
Indian group that annually presents the Michigan
Indian Homecoming Pow Wow at Charlton Park,
drove over from his home near Detroit to assistPark
and'Museum Director, Harvey Vetsteeg, in prepar
ation of the Indian exhibit which will be on view
when the renovated Museum reopens May 29.
Mr. Deyo and the director were both in a Detroit
Boy Scout Indian Dancing group when the director
-was in high schooL
Mr. Deyo, his wife and two daughters are all in
terested students and collectors of Indian items and
were quite helpful in the identification and selec.tion of Indian items from the collection of the Bar
ry County Museum. The Deyos were impressed
with many fine items in the collection, but unfor
tunately, most are from other areas of the country.
The initial exhibits at the park will stay as close
ly as possible to local and therefore Great Lakes
Woodland Indian items. There are enough such i
tems for the exhibit but there are also so many fine
items from outside the area that a special exhibit
of them will be installed for viewing during the August
Indian Pow Wow. This will be a temporary exhibit
separate from the more permanent exhibit of local
Indian items. The non-local items range from
South America to Alaska with a large number of
plains Indians items.
This year's Michigan Indian Homecoming Pow
Wow will be held at Charlton Park on August 9 and
tenth.
TRYING TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR SPRING PLANT
ING NEEDS WITHOUT IT COSTING YOU WHEN
YOU HARVEST?
Try some Michigan Hybrid seed corn — we still
have it in bushel bags and also because of our direct
connection with the grower we are able to sell for
less per bag.
M. F. sells for $12.00 per bushel. Small and L. F.
are $8. 00 per bushel. Single Cross 402-2X at$20.00
per busheL S. F. at $15. 00 per bushel and to top it
off there will be volume discounts for 5 and 10 bush
el orders.
Now to see how these corns yield we can check
(Corn Hybrids Compared) put out by Cooperative
Extension Service of MSU and you will find that
these are consistently the dryest at harvest and a

�Jaycees will sponsor
Boy Scout program
Canoe race planned for
Friday, Memorial Day
Canoes brought the first white men into this area
and carried the red man for centuries before that.
Indian Landing at Charlton Park gets its name from
Indian canoe camps located there. Therefore it is
only fitting that the renovated Barry County Museum
which tells the history of the area reopens with a
canoe race on Memorial Day.
. Canoe races are not new on the Thornapple, but
it is believed this will be the first professional race
and thus will draw paddlen from much farther away
than any previous race and hopefully an audience
from a much wider area also. The race is under the
auspices and rules of the Michigan Canoe Racing
Association which conducts races all over the state,
both amateur and professionaL As is the case here,
local groups sponsor the race and provide the ex
penses while the association provides consultation
on the course, rules and forms and then assists in
the conduct of the actual race. It also publicizes
the race through its monthly paper to members in
several states and does not schedule or sanction any
other race on the same date. There are usuallv sev
eral races in the state on any given weekend'during
the summer but the association will only officially
participate in one per day.
The professional canoe racers follow the "circuit”
and put on a good show. The top racers made a
modest wage from their weekend sport and the rest
occasionally make expenses. The race* range from
the famous 2-day Ausable River race with $3,000
in prize money to smaller ones like the two-hour
race the weekend after the Charlton Park event
where $300 is offered the first place team. The
Charlton Park race is estimated to be a 3 hour race
with $150 going to the first place pro team; $25 al
so goes to the first Barry County team to finish, re gardless of ranking. There will also be special tro
phies in each amateur race for the first Barry Coun
ty team to finish in the men’s amateur, mixed ama
teur and junior races.
Among the professional racers likely to appear are
men who have won the world famous Texas Water
Safari which races down a snake infested river for a
week and ends across open Gulf of Mexico salt wa
lies and equipment they can
ter using oi
■s have paced Olympic teams
carry with
in trials even though they themselves can not parti
cipate due to their professional standing.
Everyone is invited to view the show these prac
ticed athletes and also to enter all classes of the ra
ces to defend the honor of Barry County. This is the
opening day for the renovated Barry County Museum
and the officers wish to.makeTt a day to remember
for one and all; a successful day to get the revital- (
ized park and museum off to a start on its new era
of development and use.
Plans old-fashioned
box soc ial May 22 ,
.
The "Chamber Maids", the Centennial group of
the Chamber of Commerce is planning an old-fash
ioned box social on May 22 at 7:00 p. m. at the
Kellogg School.
.
Other Centennial groups are invited to attend,and
are asked to contact Mrs. Geneva Brumm for infor
mation.
Each "Maid" is asked to fix a dinner for two which
will be auctioned off by Lee McMillen, auctioneer.
Coffee and tea will be furnished.
It was announced last week by president Lee Mc
Millen that the Maple Valley Jaycees are now mak
ing plans to sponsor a Boy Scout program for Nash
ville and a Explorer Troop for the communities of
Nashville andD60B
----_
The Jaycees are forming a committee headed by
"Gary Foote to work with the Scoutmaster to provide
a good scouting program once again in the area.
Any man who is interested in serving the boys
as Scoutmaster should express tus interest to the
Jaycees.
* . ,
The Explorer Program, to serve both communi
ties, is to involve boy* in high school who are in
terested in becoming a responsible adult. The pro
gram is designed to help a young man:
Develop a stable scale of values.
Understand his identity as a person.
Accept a more mature social role.
Acquire an understanding of an adult, occupa
tional role.
Develop a mature relationship to his family.
Name* of the committee men will be announc
ed at a later date.

joint installation of officers Sunday, May 25th at
3:00 p. m. This meeting is open to the public.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 29. 1969
NUMBER 1
Open House Thursday will
begin season at Charlton Park
The start of a dieam come true will be consumated on Thursday, May 29th, when the Charlton Park
gates open after having been closed for six years. In
celebration of the re-opening of the park the public
is invited to the open house of the park facilities on
that date.
The newly renovated park will throw its doors o
pen for a one-day free-of-charge visit and a pre
view of the displays. Park officials hope to make
the open house an annual event to be held at the
end of Michigan Week each year.
Charlton Park, which is in the process of a com
plete renovation, has been changed completely since
the end of the last season it was open to the public.
Two new craft shops , a blacksmith shop and a car
riage shop have been constructed on the grounds and
plans are in the making for the construction of a
complete old time village on the site.
The forge for the blacksmith shop has been moved
from the last blacksmith shop to be operated in Nash
ville and is now being reconstructed. If the bellows
can be repaired in time and if a blacksmith can be
located, the new blacksmith shop will also be oper
ating on opening day. With the'exception of the bel
lows that needs new leather, all the tools and equip- ■
ment are ready and waiting for their grand reawak
ening. The forge was just completed with bricks and
hoof rasps that used to hold up the forge in Nash
ville's old blacksmith shop. So the "new" blacksmith
shop in the park is in reality quite old and most
authentic. Even if the shop is not in actual opera
tion, it will be open for public viewing during the
day. This is the shop that is being completed with
monies from the Thornapple Foundation.
The main museum building has been completely
re-done. Remodeling has included new insulation,
a new heating and air conditioning unit has been
installed and a research library has been added to
the building.
As a sample of the many crafts that will one day
be common in the planned 1840-90 village at Charl
ton Park, a candle maker will demonstrate his skills
and answer questions. Both methods of candle mak
ing (dipping and molding) will be shown by Mr. Em
ery Toogood, the park's first craftsman. Some hand
made candles will even be available for purchase.
What is said to be one of the best Woodland Indi
an displays in the state is owned by the park. A rare
deer skin Indian jacket, made sometime before
1830, dyed with natural vegetable juices and decor
ated with porcupine quills is among the many arti
facts included in the display. Hand woven quilts and
other handicrafts are in evidence.
The projected old time village, of which the car
riage shop and the blacksmith shop are just two of
the many structures planned, will be native to the
area and is a tribute to Irving Charlton, whose far
sightedness made it possible to carry out the desire
for preservation of the collection and the develop
ment of the park grounds.
Charlton Park promises to be one of the finest mu
seum and park complexes of its kind in the country.
The collection of artifacts and memorabilia is said
to be one of the most extensive in this part of the
country. This accumulation is vast, so vast that it
may be several years before it is catalogued and can
be shown to the public.
According to the masterplan of the park, parts of
collections will be brought out of storage and dis
played in their proper settings as more buildings are
erected and more display space becomes available.
Charlton Grange has agreed to have a food conces
sion stand inside the park on Friday of the opening
and canoe races for the convenience of those
who
would like to enjoy the wonderful picnic facilities
in the park.
The open house on May 29th will be the only time
through the season that entrance to the park will be
free to the public. Thereafter, a charge of $1.00
per car will be made. An annual permit can be pur
chased for $3.00. The fee covers all activities, in
cluding picnicing, swimming, entrance to the mu
seum and for special events.
The park will be open from 10:00 am. to 10:00
pm with the museum open from 10:00 am to 8:00.
pm daily seven days a week. Once inside the park
grounds there are no other fees; the museum, black
smith shop, craft demonstrations and park facilities
are open tor all to enjoy.
Even after this full day of entertainment there is
more: The start of the summer film series to be
shown at dusk every Friday, Saturday and Sunday
evenings. This week's schedule includes: "How In
dians Build Birch Bark Canoes," "Museum—A gate
way to Preception, ” "Saugus Iron Works Restoration"
ano "History in your Community. "
Rosalie Murphy and her daughter, Cindy get a
preview of some of the many exhibits at the Charl
ton Park Museum in preparation for the park's open
house to be held Thursday, May 29 from 3 to 8 pm.
Many Nashville Centennial Belles will be in their
centennial costumes to help show visitors the newly
re-opened park.
The open house will be free of charge. Charlton
Park is 'located about midway between Hastings
and Nashville.

Persons who wish to volunteer time or who want
to donate substantial items to the museum will be
given special passes.
Bond issue would increase millage only 1.75 mills
The Maple Valley Board of Education has agreed
to include a proposal for a $1,295, 000 bond issue
on the ballot in the coming school election, Mon
day, June 9.
It has been pointed out that the bond issue would
increase the present 6. 9 mills for debt retirement by
not more than 1. 75 mills. This is because the board
intends to participate in the school bond loan pro
gram which considerably lowers the annual dent re
tirement millage and allows a school district to bor
row from the state bond loan program at a low in
terest rate to help pay the interest cost on the bonds.
In view of the fact that the Maple Valley District is
a low valuation district with only $6, 900 behind
each student this year, the district will qualify for
participation.
The average state equalized valuation per stu
dent in the public schools in Michigan is about
$14, 000. Tne amount of funds that might be bor
rowed is in relationship to the local levy and is
controlled by the local valuation of the school dis
trict.
The bond election would be to include:
1, A new school bus garage that will replace the
present garage located on Reed Street. This garage
will have a three stall bus service area and storage
space for twenty-four vehicles. This would be lo
cated at a central location, and all the busses would
then be kept in one area. Considering the larger ca
pacity size of the busses being operated today plus
the increased number of busses, it is necessary that
additional maintenance space be provided. Also, it
is generally accepted that our maintenance cost
could be reduced by having all the busses boused in-
2. Kellogg Elementary building (former Nashville
High School building). A new boiler room and auto
matic gas furnace would be installed eliminating
the bouer room which is now located beneath the
classrooms.
3. A new middle school would be constructed near
the Jr-Sr. High School site to house students in the
sixth and seventh grades. By moving the sixth grad
ers from the elementary buildings, it would be pos
sible to have more sections in the lower elementary
grades helping to eliminate some of the large class
room enrollments. The seventh graders would be
moved to the new building, and it is generally felt
that the students of this age could adjust better to
the educational program m a building housing the
middle school grades.
It is now planned that the new middle school
would include twelve regular classrooms, science
room and storage area, arts and crafts room, music
storage area, gymnasium and locker area, library,
administration area, kitchen and storage area, me
chanical rooms, and various receiving and storage
areas.
This building would be designed in such a way
that would allow for expansion in future years if the
enrollment continues to grow. Any possible future
expansion would then involve the addition of possi
bly the fifth and eighth grades to the middle school
building.
At the time of construction of the present Jr-Sr
High School and the Elementary additions in 1964
65, it was estimated that the enrollment for the
present school year would be approximately 1,595
students. The official membership this year for
state aid purposes was 1,853 students. This year we
will graduate eighty-two seniors, and we now have
a kindergarten enrollment of one hundred seventy
eight students.
The Board of Education and school administrators
would be willing to m^pt with any group to discuss
the proposed bond issue and the participation in the
school bond loan program. If your organization de
sires to have some representative of the school meet
with any group oi organization, please call 852
9699 or contact one of the board members.
In addition to the bond issue on the ballot at the
annual election the names of two school board
members will be appearing for reelection.
Wallace Graham and Herald Hansen will both
be running for re-election to the board, Hansen
and Graham were the only two to file to have their
names included on the ballot.
Absentee ballots are available from Mr. Wallace
Graham, secretary Board of Education. His address
is 504 S. Main Street, Nashville. His telephone
number is 852-9767. Application for absentee bal
lots must be made not later than 2:00 p. m., Satur
day, June 7.
voters in the former Nashville school district plus
the former Norton and Mayo school districts will be
voting at the Kellogg Elementary building in Nash
ville. Voters in the former Vermontville school dis
trict will be voting in the kindergarten room at the
Maplewood Elementary. Registered electors in the
former N. Kalamo and Gresnam districts will also
vote at Maplewood .

�Jaycee Kid wrestling
tournament held Sat.
The Maple Valley Jaycee Kid Wrestling tourna
ment was held Saturday, May 24. The boys 'that

weight division. The winners for each weight divis
ion were: Bantam, Fred Trumble; Feather, Pat Hick
ey; Light, Randy Sebrell; Middle, Terry Jones;

The boys had two weeks of enjoyable practice,
ending in a hard fought tournament.
The Jaycees
congratulate each boy for putting forth the effort to
attend the clinics and for making this program a
successful one. One of the objectives of the program
was to develop a wholesome attitude toward com
petition and hard work. This objective and several
others were met. Ths Jaycees also like to thank the
parents who allowed their boy or boys to participate
in the wrestling program.
Parents and boys should keep this National Jaycee

is not whether you win or lose, but that you do your
best to win ano that you have wrestled. "

Routine business matters
discussed by Council
The village of Nashville had requested that the
Michigan State Highway department give consider
ation to painting a double yellow line on Main
Street from Washington Street south to the railroad
crossing. This was asked in order to remedy a traf
fic problem by drivers crossing over into the left
lane in order to pass another vehicle. In a letter
read by the village clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, it
was stated the State Highway Department could not
comply with the request because the traffic situa
tion does not meet any regulation demanding the
double yellow line.
The paving on Maple Street for one block east
to State Street has been completed. Ths work was
done by Reith Riley of Battle Creek.
In the report of the Nashville Police Department,
the cruiser traveled 3, 246 miles, burned 396 gal
lons of gasoline; policed six accidents including a
car-deer accident on North Main Street, answered
six civil complaints, served two circuit court papers,
issued eight moving violation traffic tickets, issued
several no parking tickets and investigated one
breaking and entering complaint.
The council voted to pay $250 to the Castleton
Maple Grove fire board, and to send Tim Smith to
the seminar at Boyne Mountain June 18-22 for train
ing in operation of sewage disposal plants.
State sales tax and state income tax monies are
starting to trickle into Nashville's coffers so the vil
lage council members Thursday evening approved
paying some of the bills. A temporary shortage of
funds has dogged the village for the past three
months, hence some of the bills were tabled.
The council renewed their contract with the State
of Michigan for maintenance work on M-66 which
is Nashville's Main street. The state will reimburse
the village for its share_of sweeping, flushing and
snow removaL
The railroad crossing on Reed Street at the east
village limits came up again for discussion. The
Maple Valley School would like to see the street
widened at this point for easier manipulation of
school buses. Already the village has invested be
tween $10, 000 and $15, 000 at this point, has put
in advance warning signs and cut back the brush,
and for the present, feels this is all that they can fi
nance until more money is budgeted for future im
provements.
The village officials voted ten mills for the gen
eral fund and five for highway. This will cover the
budget of $134,113 set in March, and is an increase
of 1. 8 mills over last year's 13. 2 mills.
Taxpayers will also find a change in the length
of time in which taxes may be paid this year with
out penalty, and also a change in days in which
the treasurer, Mrs. Marguerite Wilson, will be a
vailable for such payment. The new rulings will be
clearly printed on the tax sheets which will be in
the mails soon after June 15.
William Gibbs who heads the summer recreation
program in little league activities asked for some
financial assistance from the village. However, the
request was tabled until more specific needs were
listed. The village of Nashville, along with Ver
montville has, for many years, assisted with the
summer recreation program.

OPEN LETTER
from GEORGE H. VOG1
Because death usually
occurs in a family only
once each dozen years, it
naturally creates an emotional crisis, A funeral
director must be called - one
in whom you have complete
confidence. Well-meaning
friends, neighbors, clergy
men, doctors, should not pre
sume to call a funeral
director without consulting
members of the family. To
the next of kin belongs the
sole right of selection of
the funeral director.

Girl Scout news
The mother-daughter banquet was well attended
in Vermontville. Tnere were 90 girls and mothers
who sat down at tables decorated in brown, yellow'
and green, the scout colors. The Brownie troop
made flower pots, and May baskets, and napkins
with flower stickers. These were presented to the
mothers with two daughters and mothers with one
daughter in scouting.
The program started with songs by the Brownies.
The first year girls received their friendship pins.
A camping film was shown, and then the Juniors
received their hard earned badges. There were sev
eral to receive the Sign of the Arrow and Sign of
the Star badge, the two most meaningful badges
in the junior level. There are 15 juniors to leave
and move up to the next level of scouting, the Cadettes. Special awards were given to the Brownie
and Juniors with perfect attendance, almost half
the girls. Some sort of a record in itself.
Mrs. Bev Kelley received from the Michigan
Council her five-year pin, signifying the years con
tributed to the council as an adult leader.
The last action the troops will do for this scout
ing year will be to march in the parade unit for
Memorial Day services. Through the summer the
girls will try to get together to work on some sum
mertime badges and just to have some fun together.
Until next September when they will have weekly
reports of the troops' adventures. _

games in the fall; Johnny’s Food Mart for ordering
Food for the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival;
American Legion in Vermontville for letting us use
their hall to fry sausages; Nashville Locker for freez

Mrs. Herald Hansen, Mr. and Mrs. William Fox, Mr.
and Mrs. Larry Musser, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Bene
dict and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Graham who also

We would like to thank Mr. Droscha and the band
members for the many public appearances within
the Maple Valley community the past year. This
takes lots of extra effort, not only for Mr. Droscha
and the members of the band, but also the parents.
We thank you.
1c
Douglas Garn, president of the Band Boosters.
Ten years ago a handful of citizen band radioop
erators in the Hastings area banded together to form
a CB club. It was named the Hastings Citizens Band
Radio Club. - Now it has a membership-of more than
50 including persons from all over Barry County. The
club is a non-profit organization set up to offer on
ly a service to the general public. They work with
Barry County Sheriff’s department and-focal law en
forcement agencies in the various communities of
the county.
The club stands by at all times to assist in road
emergencies, road patrol and in case of disaster
such as fire, severe snowstorms, tornadoes, tracking
lost children, as well as assisting in car breakdowns
on the highways. Not long ago one member was
credited with saving the life of a person injured in
an auto accident. More than 50 percent of the club
members have completed courses in medical self
help and first aid courses, and radiological monitor
ing. In years past they worked closely with the Civ
il Defense units in the county.
The Hastings Citizens Band Radio Club is one of
three such clubs in Barry County. During the Mem
orial weekend the club will be particularly active
as they have been invited to assist with the canoe
races at Charlton Park. They will police the races
at each quarter mile along the route on Thornapple
River, and- will keep score. To accomplish this they
will be using autos equipped with citizens band ra
dios, walkie-talkies, and they are presently build
ing a trailer which they hope to put into use as a
base station.
Often when a call for help has come in many of
the CBer’s have taken time off from their jobs to as
sist. Too, they have several "practice mobile
hunts” during the year to help perfect their work.
Historical marker placed
on courthouse lawn
On Heritage Day, May 20, Mrs. Hilda Baas at
tended the dedication of a historical marker on the
Courthouse lawn in Hastings. This is a Michigan
Historical Commission registered Sure site No. 291.
Charles Harthy, president Barry County Historical
' Society gave the welcome. Flag salute was by Webelos Den Pack 3073 United Methodist Church. The
Hastings high school senior choir, directed by Herb
Moyer sang a few songs. Mrs. Amy Bower introduc
ed the special guests.
The dedication was given by
Dr. Willis Dunbar, WMU, president Michigan His
torical Commission. The marker was accepted by
Monty Bennett, member of Historic Site Committee,
Barry County Board of Supervisors who paid for the
marker. Dr. Stanley Buck, pastor First United Meth
odist Church, Hastings gave prayer of dedication
and benediction.
The text of the marker was; Early Hastings -Barry
Co., organized in 1839, was named after US Post
master General Wm. Barry. Hastings, the county
seat, was platted in 1836 and chartered as a village
in 1855. ’The present courthouse was completed in
1892. A newspaper was published here in 1851, and
in 1869 the first railroad reached town. Dr. Wm. Up
john, founder of the pharmaceutical firm that bears
his name, established his practice here after the
Civil War and perfected a process for the commer
cial manufacture of the friable piU. Judge Ella C.
Eggleston, one of the first women probate judges in
the state, began her term of office here in 1919.
Driver given citation
for reckless driving
Gary Ralph Henline, 16, of Vermontville, was the
driver of a car involved in an accident Monday morn
ing, May 26, at the Nashville Cemetery. Accord
ing to officials, the car was traveling east on Fran
cis Street and did not make the turn at East Street,
and went across the road hitting the street sign and
continued on into the cemetery.
Approximately five tombstones were either broken
or disrupted by the automobile. No one was injured.
A citation was given the driver for careless driving
and he is to appear in Juvenile Court, Hastings, next
Monday.
Passengers in the automobile with Henline were
Kim Hansen, 15, son of Mt. and Mrs. Dean Hansen
of Vermontville and Michael Schutte, 16, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Schutte of Nashville. Gary is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Henline of Vermont
ville.

The Cloverleaf Class will meet at the United
Methodist Church on Phillips on Thursday, June 5,

HYMN SING ON SUNDAY
The Gresham United Methodist Church will spon
sor a hymn sing Sunday evening, June 1st, at 7:00.
Everybody is welcome to come.
Bring your voice and your neighbor. Gresham
Church is one mile nortn of Vermontville Highway
on Mulliken Road.
Last week the boardof directors met to organize
more-efficient methods of handling future emergen
cies. When the club members are on the highways
they are always on the lookout to assist, and they
have summoned help from a fire department or a
police department on numerous occasions. Mean
while they give immediate assistance to the person
in need.
One of the club's recent projects was to install
' road signs throughout Barry-County which bear the
two channel numbers -- 9 and 12 — where help can
be contacted immediately. This has proven most
beneficial, especially to out-of-town persons pass
ing through who have CB radios in their cars. In
this project they were assisted by the Barry County
CB Club.
'
Three years ago the club started to raise money
for a trailer. This will be used to transport equip
ment and is to be used as a base station. All of the
work in constructing the trailer is volunteer. The
cost will be approximately $1,000. The trailer is
to be equipped also with facilities for providing cof
fee for the club members when they are out on a
lengthy assignment.
The wives of the club members have devoted
many hours along with the men to raise money for
the trailer. The projects have-included bake sales,
raffles, car washes, club parties and many other e
vents. And when the fellows are out on a call, the
gals make sandwiches by the dozens and coffee by
the gallons. The wives also play an important role
in " manning" the base stations to correlate the work
of the CBer’s.
The club is made up of persons of all ages and
professions, with but one aim — to be of public
service. But it doesn't end there. The club has fun
too. Only last weekend they had a campout at the
farm home of club members Robert and Daisy Bowne
near Dowling. They took their trailers, tents and
what-have-you out for the weekend. They also
have steak ttys several times during the summer
months, and club members drop in on one another
often for a friendly cup of coffee.
The club meets the third Tuesday of the month
in the gymnasium of Southeastern Elementary
School in Hastings, and each Sunday evening at 9
p. m. they hold a meeting "on the air. "
Club officers are elected annually and take over
on May 1. This year the president is Phil Myers;
vice president, Fred Wilcox; secretary, Bruce Mc
Dowell; treasurer. Jack Barnes, and on the Board of
Directors are Larry Murphy, Bob Conner, and Ger
ald Mater who just completed his term as president.
The equipment the club members use is varied.
Some have very simple units costing only a few dol
lars, while others have several hundred dollars in
vested in elaborate base stations.
One of the club members sums up the work of the
CBer’s like this; "We, as a club, try to serve our
area by doing good and aiding our county to make
it a better and safer place in which to live
and
bring up our children. We want people to know that
they can keep their minds at ease when they are
out on the road, or in time of a disaster, knowing
they have someone they can depend on. We, as a
club, are at your service. ”

We got our Centennial Book today and there has
been a family fight since then over who gets to
read the book now. The book is beautiful and is very
well done. It should be something that every resi
dent of the village will want to keep. Hilda Baas
is to be congratulated on the fine job she has done
with this book. It was a lot of work for Hilda, but
she can be assured that she has produced a bit of his
tory that will still be used when the village cele
brates its two hundredth anniversary.
.The opening of the new museum at Charlton Park
appears to have been a big success. They had quite
a blast there last weekend with the canoe race jflnd
the preview of the exhibits at the museum. Tins
could be the start of something big.

Back in February his mother went to Florida for a
month or so and asked my friend to take care of her
house plants. Of course he agreed and after the moth
er had been gone for a week or so he scooted over
to her house to take care of the plants. He noticed

�Film series will feature
early industry, crafts, Indians
Charlton Park got off to a good start over the
Memorial Day weekend with hundreds of persons
taking advantage of the May 29th free open house
at the Museiim and hundreds more attending the
Canoe Race. By Sunday evening the number of $3
annual' county resident passes sold had come within
6 of the number sold during the entire 1968 season.
Indeed a good start for the season by the park and
museum.
Something else new at the park didn't get off to
quite such a good start, perhaps in part, because
few people may have heard about it.
The summer film series is a group of films sched
uled for showing each Friday, Saturday and Sunday
evening through the summer. They have been selec
ted with an eye to telling the story of both what is
happening at the park and telling the history of the
area.
The first week's film related to what a museum
is and what is being done at other historic sights and
villages. A film on "How Indians Build Canoes"was
an added attraction to go along with the Canoe Race.
The latter film is scheduled again the weekend of
the Indian Pow Wow in August.
The films were originally scheduled for showing
outside after dark. The all-day activities of the
canoe race, pony cart rides and picnics in the hot
sun on Friday sent everyone home early, so there
was no audience in the park by dark. So a change
was made in the scheduling.
Saturday and Sunday evening the films were
shown inside the museum at 7 p. m. and a small
audience was found for the showings. Future show
ings will also be scheduled for 7 p. m. inside the
air conditioned museum. It is felt the earlier hour
and the freedom from weather and mosquitoes may
attract more viewers.
The films scheduled for the weekend of June 6,7
and 8 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) evenings at 7
p. m. in the museum, include films on the early
formation of the areaf'Gteat Lakes and How They
Were Formed,'"1Geography of the North Central
States, ""Succession from Sand Dunes to Forests"
and "Animals of Prehistoric America."
Future weeks will feature films on crafts, Indians,
early industry, Michigan history and the like. As
school finishes and the season starts, it is hoped
more persons will avail themselves of this worth
while film series and the museum.
LAKEWOOD BAPTIST DRIVE-IN
On Sunday, June 8, the staff from Youth Haven,

they will conduct an area-wide singspiration in the
church.
The Lakewood Baptist Church is located on M50
east of Lake Odessa, across from the high school.

�Nashville’s first big fire
destroys five business places
Nashville's lint big fire occurred the night of
February 25, 1874, The mad ringing of the Metho
dist Church bell brought people out of bed and men
were running crying "Tire.
The village of Nashville then was less than ten
yean old and boasted about a thousand population.
The business district was mainly composed of frame
wooden buildings thrown up in a hurry of cheap
lumber.
The fire on that cold night in 1874, started at
the rear of Philip Holler & Son's Hardware Store,
which stood fronting Main Street in a long, narrow
building closely paralleling Cherry Aliev. In other
words, it stood where the south one-half of the
present Keihl Hardware now stands. Within 20 min
utes after the blaze was discovered there were sev
eral hundred people on Main Street. Before the
night was over, almost the entire population of the
town and scores of country folks were on hand to
witness Nashville's first really disastrous fire. With*
in the course of three hours five business places
were wiped out and two families were left home
less.
Although there was no wind the flames soon
spread to the building next door north, which was
owned by R. S. Brady and occupied by Ed. R. White '
Mr. White operated a meat market on the ground
floor and he and his wife lived in an apartment a
bove their store. They had retired for the night
when the sound of shouting awakened them, a nd
they dressed hurriedly and carried a few of their
possessions into the street before the blaze envelop
ed their building.
Those first frame buildings had been built close
together and it was only a matter of minutes before
the third one was aflame. This next building, which
was owned by C. C. Linsley, was occupied by C. A.
Stebbins and Captain Boise, who operated a gener
al store. They sold dry goods, groceries and many
other Items, including gun powder and dynamite.
Salvage of their merchandise was greatly hamper
ed by the fear of an explosion at any moment. A
bove their store E, J. Feighner operated a photo
graph studio and he lost a new camera which h e
valued at more than $200,
Next building to break into flames was across the
narrow alley. It was owned by C.C. Linsley and
was occupied by Troutwine & Barlow as a barber
shop and fancy store, with William Clark's harness
stop on the second floor. Mr. Linsley lived in a
small apartment at the rear of the barber shop on
the ground floor.
By this time the few level heads directing the
fire fighting had decided drastic methods were nec
essary to save the rest of the business section.
After a hurried consultation it was decided to use
dynamite, with the utmost caution on the Brady
building, which was already past saving, and t o
tear out the building which housed the News O f fice, in an attempt to halt the spread of the flames
in the other direction. With the dynamiting glow
ing burning timbers were blown a hundred feet in
to the air. The flying debris started a few small
new fires but nothing that could get out of control,
and while bucket brigades wet down nearby build
ings, the fire fighters concentrated on literally tear
ing apart the frame building that housed the News
plant. Ropes were made fast to vital points and with
several hundred men and two teams of oxen strain
ing to the task, the building was toppled over and
hauled clear across the street, out of danger from
flying sparks.
Before this, Orno Strong, publisher of the News,
had been busy carrying his possessions out of the shop
and his final achievement was the rescue of the
1,100-pound press, which was picked up bodily b y
about a dozen men and carried to safety. Young
Strong had come to Nashville and started the News
less than six months before and his estimated $300
loss from the fire was perhaps more of a blow than
that suffered by some of his neighbors. True to the
traditions of his business, Editor Strong issued a news
paper two days later, and the biggest news of the
week had to do with the fire. The story told in de tail how, after the News building was town down,
teams of oxen hauled the larger postions away and
how two lines of men were formed to pass water to
the fire, while others swarmed onto the roof of D. C.
Griffith's store next door and kept exposed parts cov
ered with wet carpets and quilts. ’And thus", wrote
Orno Strong, "Nashville's big fire finally was check
ed. "
Most of the residents of the town stayed up all
night. Barrels of whiskey were broken open and set
conveniently for anyone and everyone to partake of.
Next morning few of the sawmills could operate be
cause of missing employees.
All in all, Nashville was lucky. Had there been
a wind the newly built village would have been
wiped out in a hurry. Naturally such a conflagration
inspired talk of an organized fire department, but
it took another 17 years to truly fill that need. On
ly after the disastrous Lentz Table Factory fire in
1891 did the village get busy and provide an effic
ient water system. The late 70's however, saw the
construction of numerous fire wells - bricked-in cis
terns underground in the business district for storing
a reserve supply of water. Some of these old cisterns
still exist underneath present sidewalks and streets.
Cause of the big fire never was determined al
though there was considerable talk at the time about
its having been the work of an incendiary. The loss
es fell heavily upon C. C. Linsley, who owned four
of the buildings and who carried no insurance. He
operated a patent medicine business and carried
several thousand dollars worth of liquors and medi
cines in his cellar for use in manufacturing pro
cesses. His total loss was estimated at 36,000 and
that of Holler & Son was set at the same figure.
Holler had $2,400 worth of insurance, however.
Stebbins & Boise and Ed. White also carried at
least partly enough insurance, as did R.S. Brady.
As for the News publisher, he carried no insurance

nice foe the parade. We have had
so many comments on the old fash
ioned meat and grocery wagons
like the plaque we have on the
wall at the store, we thought we
would like to get ahold of one sim
ilar to it. I went from Nashville
clear to Frankfort - up one road
and back another - but found noth
ing suitable. I need a light wagon
with old fashioned wheels, particu
larly on the back. What we want is
a replica of an old time meat or
grocery delivery wagon or even an
old fashioned milk or dairy wagon
If any of you know of anything of
this type we could build the top
on the right kind of base. If any
one knows of anything I could get,
please let me know here at the

When you plan your next
visit to an art museumDowntown hotel turned cultural? Not quite, but we do have a
great new work of art.
,
Henri Azaz did a sculpture for our lobby. And when he creates—
he doesn't kid around. We ended up—with a wall.
But not just any wall. Some people call it the Great Wall of
Sherman House. Why not come see why?
And while you're there, stop in at any of our Nightspots-the
College I nn, Well of the Sea.The Scuttlebutt,The Celtic and the Dome.
So come to Sherman House for entertainment and fun. And
we'll throw in a little culture at no extra cost!
what’s a
funny
place for
a phone?
That depends on your sense of humor. If interrupting
your washing or ironing to rush upstairs to answer the
telephone leaves you breathless, then an extension
telephone makes good sense.
An extension telephone saves steps and lets you do
your telephoning from where you are. You can select
from many smart styles and decorative colors.
Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your
telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month

written by members of the class to explain the proj

'Our class is studying Michigan history and geog
raphy. We were studying about Cadillac ana Fort
Detroit. We decided that as a project we would
made a fort like the one Cadillac built.
Some of the girls and boys brought sticks for the
walls. There are about 60 sticks on each side. We
glued all of the sticks together.
We brought cardboard for the buildings. One of
the houses is made of wood.
Some of the boys and girls in our class helped
made a gate. We brought soldiers and Indians for
our fort. We also put an American flag in our fort.
There are bags of grain beside the mill in our fort.
We built look-out towers out of cardboard. They

By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
MEDICAL MAZE
W ithout major surgery, the state Senate has pass
ed a bill to eliminate tne legal-medical maze over
human organ.transplants in Michigan.
The measure sailed through the Upper Chamber
in much the same form it was introduced three
months ago by Sen. N. Lorraine Beebe, Dearborn
Republican.
Specifically, it designates who may donate a
heart, kidney or other organ, and provides protec
tion for physicians performing operations.
Some doctors and hospitals in Michigan arc now
reluctant to authorize transplant operations because
of questions involving the medical, moral and leg
al aspects of the issue.

TIME AGAIN
.
Michigan's difficulties over the time of day have
taken another twist. The Upper Peninsula has been
authorized to rejoin the lower part of the state in
the Eastern Time Zone.
Congressman Philip E. Ruppe, a Houghton Repub
lican, announced the action ny US Transportation
Secretary John Volpe.
"Since the summer daylight time is not a legal
option in Michigan, " Ruppe said, "opinion coming
into my office and into the department of transpor
tation ran nearly 10 to 1 in favor of Eastern Zone. "
Two years ago, the federal government placed
the UP in the Central Time Zone, saying us econ
omic ties were closer with those in Wisconsin than
those in lower Michigan.
But three counties—Chippewa, Mackinac and
Luce—at the eastern edge of the Peninsula, had de
clared themselves in' the Eastern Zone.
Now, Ruppe says, "some areas near die Wiscon
sin border_express preference for Central Time. "
He said there were indications that some areas at
the western end of the Peninsula might decide to
stay on Central Time.
Ruppe, who represents the entire UP as well a s
several lower Michigan counties, said the zone
changes became effective April 27, and most of the
nation went on daylight savings time.
But Michigan voters last November decided a
gainst going on DST. That means that Michigan, insteadofbeing intime-tune withNewYork, wulbein
step with Chicago.
With Volpe's ruling, however, most of the UP
moved its clocks forward one hour to line up with
the Lower Peninsula.
FUN AND FIGHT
A bill has been introduced in the Michigan House
to give cities 80 percent of the $100 million r e creation bond money, and outstate areas 20 percent.
Rep. James Bradley, Detroit Democrat, chief
sponsor of the plan, said the money should go
"where Michigan's problems are. "
Gov. William G. Milliken has recommended 60
percent of the funds go to the cities. Conservation
ists and their friends in the Legislature maintain
voters approved the program with the understanding
70 percent would find its way to outstate area, and
only 30 percent to the urban centers.
But Bradley said there are lots of problems in the
cities, "and the recreation money is a good way of
straightening them out. " People living in the gnettos have as much right to recreational facilities as
those who live in the suburbs and are able to get to
statd parks and other facilities. ”
Bradley's bill faces an uphill struggle. The sen
timent of the lawmakers seems to be more along
the 70-30 division proposed by outdoorsmen.

Plan special Centennial issue
A special issue of the Maple Valley News, the
week of June 26, will contain a section devoted pri
marily to the Nashville Centennial This section
will Be pictorial in most part and will contain old
and new pictures of Nashville and the accounts o f
the happenings in conjunction with the Centennial
celebration.
Pictures from days past will be included as will
many of the various cunent groups, dressed in their
fancy centennial outfits.
Voters in the Maple Valley School district voted
down a $1,295,000 proposal by a 3 to 1 margin in
Monday's annual school election. There were 587
"no" votes to 192 "yes."
The electors in the former Nashville district, plus
the former Norton and Mayo districts, voting in the
Kellogg Elementary building, cast a total of 451
votes. There were 329 "no" votes to 121 “yes. "
Those in the former Vermontville district, along
with electors of the former North Kalamo and Gresh
am districts cast a total of 337 votes at the Maple
wood SchooL There were 258 "no" votes and 71
"yes." There was a total of eight spoiled ballots in
the two precincts.
Two candidates were re-elected ■ to the Board of
Education for four year terms. Wallace Graham re
ceived a total of 659 votes and Herald Hansen re
ceived 621.
The bond issue was for the purpose of erecting,
furnishing and equipping a new middle school; con
structing and equipping a boiler room addition to the
Kellogg Elementary building in Nashville; construct
ing and equipping a bus maintenance garage;acquiring additional land for site purposes; constructing
and equipping playgrounds, and developing and im
proving sites.
The Board of Education had authorized the build
ing program because of the enrollment figures which
had increased faster than had been anticipated at
the time of the last bond approval back . in 1963. At
that time it was estimated die enrollment for this
year would have been 1,595. Instead the figure had
jumped to 1, 853, and the enrollment in the kinder
garten this year is 178 pupils.
At a meeting held last week Tuesday in the high
school cafeteria, which was set up to inform the pub
lic on all phases of the building program, it was the
concensus of opinion of some erf those attending that
they would be willing to furnish facilities to edu
cate the children, but many objected to paying over
$80,000 for bus storage and maintenance. Some felt
too that a re-evaluation of classroom space was need
ed, and that perhaps more thought should be given
to adding classrooms on the present buildings.
Now mat the bond issue has been defeated the
board will have to take some action to provide more
space for some of the elementary grades. Perhaps
portable classrooms will be the answer until a favor
able program is approved.
Pat Babcock named
administrative assistant
Charles P. "Pat" Babcock, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ivan Babcock of Hastings, has been named to the
position of administrative assistant to Representative
James S. Farnsworth of Plainwell
Babcock was elevated to the full-time staff post
after serving six months as a three-days-a-week leg
islative intern while completing his graduate studies
in social work at Wayne State University.
Instead of working in a one-to-one relationship
with welfare recipients Babcock is now helping shape
legislation that would affect Michigan's entire pub
lic assistance program. As Farnsworth's aide, one of
his major assignments has been to assist the veteran
legislator in preparing legislation designed to i n crease the effectiveness of the state's welfare pro
grams while at the same time reducing costs.
Previous experience Babcock has had includes
4 1/2 years in public welfare work in the Kalama
zoo, Berrien and Wayne County Social Services De
partments, the State Social Services Department and
Wayne State University School of Social Work.

Bob got out of the canoe in water up to his arm-pits

for the Boughtons. When we first came to Nashville,
Chris was in kindergarten and was delighted to take

kindergarten class. He reminded me the other day
that this is the second graduation ceremony he will

Harvey Versteeg was telling me about the cannon
shoot that is going to take place at Charlton Park
the weekend of our Centennial celebration and dur
ing our conversation I got around to asking him where
these old cannon came from. He explained that
many of them are from court-house lawns. He ex
plained that there was a period, not long ago when
every town that wanted one could have a Civil War
cannon. They were a dime a dozen, as it were. Now
they have become collector's items.
I told Harvey that I could remember some time
after the Second World War that someone discovered
an old warehouse filled with Civil War saddles. I
asked him if he thought they still had a warehouse
with some of these old cannon in it. He said it could
very well be. Then he told me this story.
Before the American Revolution the Military at
Fort Ticondaroga ordered some cannon from a found
ry in England. The guns were cast and started on
tneir way to America, and were already at the dock
in England when the Revolution started and they
were delayed. They were stored in a warehouse some
where at the dock and forgotten.
Sometime in the late 1920's someone at the ware
house discovered this shipment for Fort Ticondaroga
and forwarded it, some 150 years after it had started.
The guns are there now... Tney have never been
used and now never will be.

Students in the combined 5th and 6th grade class of Rex Balch pose with their teachand the finished result of a project which has taken.much of their time and energy
during the past few weeks. They have re-assembled the bones from a skeleton of a
sheep which was found by Mr. Balch. They cleaned the bones, removed the 'cartilage
and what other marerial was still on the, skeleton, and then began the slow and tedious
job of re-assembling the bones.
Gayion Fisher, custodian at the Kellogg School, made the metal frame so they
could have a support for their finished product. Mr. Balch's comment was that the stu
dents tackled the job with such enthusiasm and energy that he felt they gained so
much from the project, the knowledge about the bone structure of rhe animal as well
as good experience gained from working so closely with others. He said the skeleton
would remain on exhibit in the class room.

We have a lot of customers who used to be con

Most of these people have switched to Michigan

They call us “The 4:30 Bank.”
We also have customers who used to forget to go
to the bank on Friday. We solved this problem
for them by staying open all day Saturday ‘til...
(you guessed it)... 4:30 p.m.
Rather than try to remember a complicated
schedule of hours, they just remember “4:30 p.m.”
They know they can come io our bank any day
but Sunday and holidays and we’ll be open.
If you still have a hard time remembering to
bank before 3:00, why not switch to “The 4:30

great new work of art.

But not just any wall. Some people call it the Great Wall of
Sherman House. Why not come see why?
And while you're there, stop in at any of our Nightspots—the
College Inn, Well of the Sea,The Scuttlebutt,The Celtic and the Dome.
So come to Sherman House for entertainment and fun. And

�Hastings Elks Lodge
receives outstanding honor
The Halting! Elks Lodge, made up of approximate
ly 500 members, and the auxiliary order of Vivians
numbering 47 members have again won some o u t standing awards in the Sure oflMichigan. They re
cently returned home from the state convention
bringing back with them five plaques, including a
First place for money "per capita" given to promote
Major Projects which is devoted to helping children
in a wide variety of cases.
There are 135,4)00 Elks enrolled in the 71 lodges
in Michigan. They have given assistance in 603 ca
ses throughout the state. The Hastings lodge had giv
en a total of $2, 823. 38 to aid children, and has
been involved in 40 cases. Their latest project is
sending a blind boy from the Hastings area to Ro- .
Chester on June 15. Here he will undergo training
for a seeing eye dog, and will complete the training
and bring back a dog in a matter of a few weeks.
While the Elks' work has been primarily with Barry
county children, there are no boundaries, and they
have sought out children outside the county to give
aid for a variety of handicaps.
The Elks also brought back the President's Award
for "best in the district;" the Vivians took a third
place in " money donated to major projects;" a Na
Tenth place for "entire money given" for major proj
ects, and a 4th place for the 365 club, which is a
"penny a day will help a child someday" project.
Elton Sanderson, who has served as chairman of
Major Projects since the Elks were organized in Has
tings 12 years ago, is anticipating that someday a
clinic can be set up whereby children can be check
ed over right here in Barry County. "But that will be
in the future, ” said Sanderson, "as it will take con
siderable money to set up a desirable clinic. "

Michigan's Truck Driver
of the Year
Says:
CONCENTRATION
is the Key to Safe Driving
* This little quiz Danny sometimes Rives friends gives them
a pretty good clue as to what kind of driver they are. Want
to try it?
The last time you took the car out for a spin, did you:
— leave parking lights burning upon your return?
— leave a turning signal blinking unnecessarily?
— drive off without sufficiently wiping or scraping win
dows in inclement weather?
If you just happened to answer “yes” to all three — watch
your step. They’re common enough, everyday lapses, to be
sure. But, says Hodowanes — these are signs of a driver "not
concentrating and a driver not concentrating is not doing his
best to drive safely.”
"If you want to be a good driver and a safe one, you've
got to CONCENTRATE on being one.” according to Michi
gan’s No. 1 truck driver. He wheels a big semi through De
troit’s busy traffic about 100 miles a dav between plants.
There are a lot of stops and starts and plenty of tight cor
nering. He has to CONCENTRATE!
Fargo's bonded pure Penn Motor Oils will made your
engine purr with the best of them I Why buy oil on
the basis of cost alone... be sure it is bonded pure
Pennsylvania Motor Oil. What could be better (and
at Fargo it sells for less).

Got time to read and think about one more little tip from
Michigan Truck Driver of the Year? It’s a good one and
all of us should heed it every day, Danny says. Here it is:
"Always stay clear-headed and never get behind the wheel
in a depressed state. A wife can be very helpful to her hus
band by seeing that he doesn’t leave home each morning
with a lot of problems on his mind.”
...
So. when you’re driving, just concentrate on driving and
nothing else, says this No. 1 professional driver. That’s
really all you’ve got time to do . . . safely. Right?

at Charlton Park a new attraction was added to the
re-opened museum and the weekend film series.
Pony cart ride concession, operated by Claude
Reid and Harlean Eckelbecker of Nashville was
started. They both had teams of ponies pulling rub
ber tired carts around the park. On the less busy Sat
urdays and Sundays since then they have alternated.
For 25< anyone may take a leisurely ride from the
museum area all the way out the narrow park road,
through the pines and woods, along the lake shore
arid back again. This is indeed a pleasant way to
spend pait of an afternoon at the park. Most fam
ily groups with small children seem to take the ride
some time before evening. The children like the
"small horses" and the adults have to go along,

Fire causes much damage
Members of the Nashville Volunteer Flre Depart
ment work on the roof of the VFW Hall during the
fire which destroyed much of the interior of the old
er part of the building last Sunday.
--Photo by John Boughton
Fire swept through the older portion of the VFW
Hall in Nashville, Sunday, causing considerable
damage to the inside of the building and the fixtures.
The newer part of the building, the cement block
addition which only recently was built on to the old
railroad station, escaped the flames.
The blaze was. discovered when Paul Schaub a r rived at the hall to open it at about 11:45. As Schaub
started to open the door he noticed smoke coming
from inside the building. Don Augustine, a volunteer
fireman happened to be passing by and turned in the
alarm.
At about the same time that Schaub and Augus
tine noticed the fire, James Rizor saw smoke coming
from the vents on the roof of the building and he call
ed the fire department. Prompt action on the part of
the fire department confined the fire to the older
part of the building.
The origin of the fire was unknown at the time of
preliminary examination of the building, but it would
appear that the blaze started in one of the rest rooms.
The fire fire is being investigated by the State Fire
Department.
The building hrd been occupied the evening pre
vious to the fire. The hall had been cleaned and the
door locked about 3:00 a. m.
The Hall was.the result of much hard work and ef
fort on the part of the members of the VFW and of
the Auxiliary. A new kitchen and bar had been in
stalled in the former depot and the new block addi
tion had been ouilt largely with volunteer labor do
nated by the members. '
Saturday, just a day before the fire a new air con
ditioning unit had been installed in the building. The
air conditioner is in the newer part of the building
and appears not to have been damaged by the fire.
Plan special Centennial issue
A special issue of the Maple Valley News, the
week of June 26, will contain a section devoted pri
marily to the Nashville CentenniaL This section

A fellow I know has been bitten by the health

has made it-a point to ride it about the streets of
Lansing each evening in an effort to keep the old
muscles in tone ana the weight down.
The other night friend was riding his bike down

him on his own bike. As they went down the street
the kid said, "Want to race, mister?”
The people of the VFW have done a lot to help
the folks in the neighborhood who have been burn
ed out. Often the VFW would come to. the fore to
supply necessary housing, clothing and help for
families who have been burned out. Now the shoe
is on the other foot. Now the members of the VFW
need help because the VFW has been burned.
The Nashville VFW has been a result of plenty of
hard work on the part of a few members of the or
ganization. They have worked long hard hours to
provide the Hall which has been a meeting place
for all of the organizations in the village. The wo
men of the auxiliary have cooked and served tons
of food to help pay for the building and the fixtures.
Now, with part of the VFW hall burned out, that
organization is in need of help. Let us all pitch in
to help.

�Hosts Cannon Shoot
Rebel yells, the boom of the authentic Civil War cannon, the
heavy smell of burned gun powder, the sights, the sounds, the ex-,
citement of a real live Civil War skirmish are in store for the hun
dreds of spectators expected at the Invitational Cannon and Musket
Shoot to be held Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29, at Charlton
Park, located one half north of M-79, on the Thornapple River,
way between Nashville and Hastings.
The newly renovated park, half way between Hastings and Nash
ville, will ring to the sounds of battle as teams compete with authen
tic cannons and muskets in target accuracy.
More than 100 men in colorful Civil War uniforms are expected to
take part in the two-day skirmish which will include the firing of pos
sibly twenty cannons, and an .1883 Gatling Gun.
Saturday’s warm-up shoot will start at 11:00 a. m. and will wind
up at 1:00 p. m. Immediately after the competition on Saturday, the
gun crews will go to Nashville where they will add color to the Cen
t ennial Parade.
After the parade in Nashville the gun crews will return to Charlton
Park where they will attend a square dance. The dance, which is o
pen to the public, will start at 8:00 p. m.
Sunday's shoot will start at noon and will include two artillery e
vents in which authentic cannons will be used. Between the two a r tillery events a colorful musket skirmish will be held.
According to Harvey Versteeg, Director of Charlton Park and the
Barry County Museum, the units attending the skirmish will represent
the Confederate as well as Union forces.
The 13th Alabama Infantry, composed mostly of men from Grand
Rapids will set up a real rebel camp, complete with lean-tos and
pole shelters.
Units from Michigan. Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois will
be represented in the activities.
The 4th Michigan Infantry, made up of men from the southern pan
of the state will be among the participants. Also expected to attend
the skirmish will be members of the 5th Michigan Artillery, compos
ed of men from Battle Creek, St. Johns and Lansing, the 5th Virginia
Cavalry, from Milwaukee, the 4th Texas Infantry of Wyandotte and
the 15th Virginia Cavalry from Birmingham, Mich.
Versteeg expects some 20 cannons to be unloaded at the park for
the shoot. He explains that most of these pieces have been rescued
from the junk heap. Some of them are guns that once were on court
house lawns and were discarded to be picked up and restored by the
Civil War buffs who shoot them.
Among the cannons to be used will be a bronze Napoleon, one of
the most popular artillery pieces of the Civil War. This was a copy of
a French gun named for the Emperor Napoleon, himself a famous
artilleryman. The Napoleon gun weighed about half of what previous
guns with the same performance and caliber weighed. Even so,
the Napoleon weighs more than half a ton and was pulled by 6 horses.
Other cannons at the shoot will include 3 inch Ordinance Rifles,
six pound brass field guns, standard equipment of Civil War artillery
units, and 10 pound Parrott rifles, named for its designer, the fore
man of the West Point Foundry which produced them.
ESKIMO WILLIE IMUDLUK PROCLAIMS:
Paul Hosmer suffers
fatal heart attack
Members of the Volunteer Fire Department
answered an inhalator call Tuesday afternoon to
the Paul Hosmer home in Nashville but were un
able to revive Mr. Hosmer after he had apparent
ly suffered a heart attack.
Mr. Hosmer, 69, had been working in his yard
with others putting in a driveway.
A complete obituary will be printed in next
week's issue of the Maple Valley News.
Frost-free Refrigerator
Automatic Ice Maker
Willie Imudluk, who recently visited Michigan, really lives on
the edge of the Arctic. Even though his family enjoys the
convenience of a modern refrigerator, Willie nearly jumped
out of his snowshoes when he saw the new frost-free model
with the automatic ice maker. We know you will, too. Every
man will love the luxury of a never-ending supply of ice cubes,
the convenience of no more ice tray filling or spilling. And
wouldn't you like to get rid of that dreaded defrosting chore
— the chopping, slopping and mopping — with a refrigerator
that defrosts itself automatically? See the new frost-free
refrigerator with the automatic ice maker today. Like Willie,
you and your family will proclaim, "We re sold!"
Most of the residents in the Nashville area have
searched their attics, basements, garages, and
other hide-aways for articles which could be shown
at the Nashville Centennial being held next week.
At the Myrton Watrous residence these two very
old nightgowns were located, having been treasured
over the years. The women shown modeling the
"gowns" have, on several occasions, worn them to
work--at the bank. The one being worn by Mrs.
Watrous is styled with numerous fine, hand-sewn
tucks, at the yoke with inserts of delicate crocheting.
She is holding a very old lamp. Mrs. Vernon Wheel
er, shown with the very old candle holder, is wear
ing a gown trimmed at the neckline and cuffs with
very fine knit lace.

Gary L. Foote of 220 Phillips Street was elected
US Jaycee Director for Region " D" of the Michi
gan Jaycees, at a regional meeting held in Ionia on
April 28, 1969. Gary is very proud of the support
he received from past president Lee McMillen and
the Maple Valley Jaycees and Jaycee Auxiliary.
During nis campaign, Jerry Reese handled all ar
rangements and promotions; Gary feels that the fine
management of nis campaign-by Jerry was one of
the main reasons for his successful election.
Gary assumed the role of his new office on June
1 and nis pace has picked up considerably. Gary
now serves Jaycee chapters in the counties of Eaton,
Clinton, Barry, Allegan, Ottawa, Kent and Ionia.
In addition to these duties, he is a member of the
United'States Jaycee Board of Directon and meets
in Tulsa, Oklahoma twice a year. Gary has been
assigned the portfolio of Community Relations and
serves not only his region, but the State organiza
tion.
Gary has accomplished in one year and a half
what an average Jaycee might accomplish in a life
time of-Jaycee activity. He became a member of
the Jaycees in March of 1968 when he was charter
president of the Maple Valley chapter. In January
of this year, he resigned his position to become
vice president of District #11, serving 10 chapters.
Now m June, he is US Jaycee Director of Region D,
serving 28 chapters.
Gary's ability to do his job will depend much on
the support and backing he receives throughout this
coming year from the Maple Valley Jaycees and
their new president Larry Filter.
In addition to his involvement with the Jaycees,
Gary is employed by the Michigan Department of
Commerce, Securities Bureau as a securities exam
iner.

a crew of people months. The museum will mail a
list of such projects to fit any time, talent or pock
etbook to anyone interested.
Junk cars cannot be
taken to local dump
Nashville residents are reminded that bolding a
card to use the village dump does not entitle them
to haul junk cats there. One such case was enough
to stir the council members at their meeting last
week Wednesday evening. The cost of crushing a
junk car and covering it with the use of a bulldozer
is "much too much. '*The only, possible way would
be for the car owner to take the car apart and flat
ten it before hauling it to the dump, and the coun
cil frowns on that.
The council voted to pay for 16 new helmets for
little league baseball players. Nashville, for several
years, has partially supported a summer recreation
program, and this summer the need is for this equip
ment. The helmets will cost in the neighborhood of
$7. 00 each.
Robert Bitgood, one of the village street employ
ees, was present to get a clearance of answering
fire calls while on the job, since he is also a mem
ber of the volunteer fire department. Permission was
granted, unless he is working on a village emergen
cy.
Ft
A new fire barn is needed to house the equipment
of the’ Castleton-Maple Grove Township fire fighters.
The present fire bam site is owned by the village,
and recently Castleton Township made arrangements
to purchase the former blacksmith shop to the north.
Both sites will be needed for the new building, and
before the issue comes to a vote some changes will
have to be made so that pnly one governing body
owns the property involved. It is understood the
township plans to ask millage for a new fire barn
next faU.
In other business the contract for maintenance of
the police car radio equipment is to be terminated,
and there was discussion of fencing of all swimming
pools within the village.
Because of the Centennial celebration, the next
council meeting will be held Monday evening, June
23, instead of Thursday, June 26.

A new concept In mobility. Six wheels of goanywhere, do anything excitement. A "scram —
bier" is for anywhere that roads aren’t. It makes
its own. Through sand, swamp, snow or what haveyou. "Scrambler" is amphibious. It’ll ford
a stream. Cross a pond. Get you to a duck blind.
You can Scramble up 45 degree grades. If there’s
snow on the ground, "Scrambler's" a snowmo
bile. If there’s a swamp to romp through, it’s a
swamp buggy. If there’s ground around, it’s a
go-kart. But mostly a "Scrambler" is just plain
fun. For sportsmen, hunters, and families..

Went to Detroit Friday evening and pick
ed up Gladys at the airport on the return
from her Las Vegas Holiday. She reports a
real wonderful time and she didn't lose all
her money either; in fact, I personally think
she brought some Vegas money to Michigan.
I missed out on the tug-o-war, but judg
ing from the black and blue spots and aches
and pains on Saturday morning from a coup
le of names unmentioned, the whole deal
must have been a huge success.
Jim and Sandy left for the new base i n

We hope to be able to print some pictures

will see the day when there will be no more war,
when people can be at peace within themselves
without fear of hunger and poverty, when black and
white can live together without prejudice, and
when people can listen to others’ ideas without
condemning before hearing. Yes, today's youth are
hopeful to see that day, but more than this, they
will be helping to make that day—helping to make
a better tomorrow.
In conclusion I would like to read this poem I
wrote...
Longing for freedom.
Crying for truth.
We want change,
We are the youth.
The day has not ended
And tomorrow is not gone,
When one can still hear
Youth's hopeful song.
We sing of love,
Black and white hand in hand,
And peace
Throughout this great land.
We sing with our dreams.
Love, ideas and hope.
We are the youth.
No dream is impossible in our scope.
We want tomorrow
Better than today,
A nd with help from above
We will find the way.

During the period December 1967 to July 1968 he
astutely surmounted extremely adverse conditions to
obtain consistently superior results. Through dili

BAROMETER BACKSTREET
This is the big week. This is the time we have
waited 100 years for.
Actually, our town has not changed terrifically in
the last 100 years; oh, we have paved the streets,
we have put street lights up, some businesses have
gone, others have opened. All of the people of 100
years ago are gone and new ones have replaced them,
nut we're still pretty much the same - a small coun
try town, we have not grown much in the last 100
years. Oh, we might have added some population,
out we’ve lost some business places. So, we are a
bout the same.
I wonder what the new century will have for us.
.
One hundred years from this week, will Nashville be
the same? Indeed, will Nashville even be here? One
hundred years ago, the village of Maple Grove was
something. Today, Maple Grove could not even be
recognized as a village. Quimby, Morgan -they'regone. Perhaps that is the fate of Nashville. With
transportation what it is, with services being offered
from the larger centers close-by, perhaps Nashville
will become a Quimby or a Maple Grove. On the
other hand, our population is constantly increasing.
Predictions by those who know are that Battle Creek
will be the big metropolis between Detroit and Chi
cago. Should these predictions prove true, Nash
ville would be on the perimeter, the suburbs of this
great metropolis. One hundred years from this week,
Nashville might be part of a big city. It might be
one of the meccas of the new world, or if we con
tinue along the lines we have been going recently,
it could be a burned-out cinder on a world that is a
burned-out cinder. We, you and I, today, this week,
hold it within our power to decide which way Nash
ville will go. We can pollute, destroy and litter un
til we have nothing. We can fail to communicate
with each other until we accomplish this - the end
of it, or we can made of this, our village, the mec
ca of the new world. It is up to us - you and me we are the ones who decide.
But, the town is gay and decorated for this, our
Centennial. They say the first 100 years are the
hardest. Maybe that's true. Perhaps the second 100
yean will be easier. Maybe in the second 100 yean,
people will understand each other. Maybe people
will understand their relationship to nature and may
be in the year 2069, indeed, Nashville will be a
suburb, green, cared for, the center of the new
world.
In any event, here now, at the end of our first
100 yean, we are going to have at least one week
of fun before we go into the hard work of the sec
ond one hundred years. Buildings throughout the
town are being repainted and spruced up for the Cen
tennial celebration. Wally Planck's building has
6^ j°hn boughton
come out a delightful shade of purple. Everyone in
town seems to be in the spirit or the thing with most
of the business people using window displays that tie
in with the Centennial Maker's have an antique
spinning wheel and flat irons and a beautiful display
of dishes. Leon Ackett's window is loaded with old
pictures. He also has the time_capsule on display.
Kelley has a display of old clay marbles, an old un
iform and an old picture. Lee's Cut Rate has a dis
play of old clothes and old shoes. Douse Drug Store
(by the way, that store goes back 100 years), has a
display of old prescriptions. Johnson's warehouse has
been repainted and has a display of old furniture,
with an old phonograph. Loren Dingman's is. loaded
with antiques, including old wagon wheels and an
old wooden wheelbarrow. Ann Best has a display of
old lamps and clothing and shoes in the Family Store
window. Stop and Shop is loaded with antiques. They
have them on the shelves, and all over the place, in
cluding a genuine cracker barrel in the front window.
Of course, the Flea Market always has antiques.
Mrs. Nicholas has a display of old tools and an old
wooden water pipe and pictures. Lathrop has a very
attractive display of miscellaneous old items. .John
son's Furniture Store has one window that is made up
like a room in an old house. I'm certain I've missed
a lot of them but these are the ones I can remember
right off the top of my hat.
These window displays, in many cases, are the re
sult of work of a number of people. Many of the i
tems on display in the windows have been brought
in by people for display during this centennial time.
Leslie Adams came in the other day to explain
that there is a picture of his sister with a horse 1 n
the Centennial Book. Adams brought a picture and
told us that the horse was his horse and his name, of
all things, was Walter. The picture, which is on this
page, snows Leslie riding Walter on the day of the
Armistice of the first World War. This victory parade
was quickly made up in Nashville on that day and
Adams, at the last minute, made up a dummy which
symbolized the Kaiser. He tied a rope around Wal
ter's middle and dragged the dummy after him. Les
lie said he became the high point ot the parade,
with he and Walter dragging the Kaiser down the
street. The picture of Adams on his horse shows the
main street in Nashville in 1918. The picture was
taken right at the corner where the Laundramat is
now. Leslie said when the parade was over, all the
kids in town took the dummy, which had a big mustaschu made of horse hair, down the river and threw
him in.

State Street, Nashville, were held Friday at 2 p. m.

This letter is a copy or one that was sent to Sirpt
Carroll Wolff of the Maple Valley Schools.
Olivet, Michigan
June 16, 1969
Dear Sir:
I wish to resign as teacher in the Maple Valley
Schools. I will be starting a new education program
in the Mar Lee School district near Marshall in Sep
tember.
I would particularly like to thank Mrs. Schantz and
Mis. Reid for their advice and counsel during the
last four years. During this time we have seen much
improvement in some of our special education stu
dents in the areas of social, emotional and academ
ic growth. I feel that this program has been very ben
eficial to our district.
Sincerely
Mrs. Mary E. Eversole
Someone gave Bunnie Shaw the postcard which is
an this page also. This apparently was a postcard
sent out by the Nashville News way back in the time
of the first publisher, Omo Strong. Apparently the
card was sent out as a subscription notice. The card
is very old and very difficult to read, but we thought
it would be of interest.
We've tried to make this issue something special
because of the number of pictures we've had of old
times and because of all the work that people have
done. Some of these pictures are so old that they
do not reproduce too well. The picture on the front
page was taken about 1870 and rar as we know it is
the oldest picture of Nashville around. This is own
ed by Martin Graham and he was kind enough to let
us use it.

The Eaton County Historical Society members
and friends enjoyed a visit to the Michigan Sure
University Museum, Thursday evening, June 19, ac
companied by Vai Berryman of Williamston, Cura
tor of Historical Artifacts.
Several interesting exhibits were seen on the way
to the larger display!. Old railroad tools hanging on
the wall of a depot made an authentic setting for a
window looking onto a 4th of July scene, an old
steam engine on the tracks, trimmed in red, white
and blue bunting, brass band on the side and a group
of people waiting.
An old log cabin, brought from the upper penin
sula, piece by piece, and re-erected with Mr. Ber
ryman's guiuance is a masterpiece of art.
The country store is complete with its pickle jar,
cracker barrel, spitoon, pot-belly stove, checker
board, moldy cheese and alL A gramophone was
in the window and Mr. Berryman turned it on for
his guests. The "cash draw’ was given to the mu
seum by Ozelma Shance, of Potterville, ft was used
by her father, Dennis Carl, in his Potterville store
until 1935 and was formerly used by Carmi Spears,
an earlier Potterville merchant.
In front of the old country kitchen stood the familar wash stand, soap, towel and comb, with
mother hen and chicks underfoot. Inside, the cook
and hired girl are busily preparing and serving din
ner for thrashers who can be seen seated at the ta
ble in the dining room.
A look at the fruit cellar shows the old way of
preserving food.
s.
An old voting booth was complete with newspa
pers, pictures and buttons. With a few changes it
will become an old time barber shop.
Folk lore, animals of America and three hundred
years of warfare completed the circle.
These things can be seen daily by visitors but
having things explained by Mr. Berryman made it
much more meaningfuL
.
.
The last stop was at Mr. Berryman's workshop
where he told how the displays are made. He is
completing the models for the fur-trading display
and beginning work cm a group of "remember the
last time you': were chased by a swarm of bees;
slid down a hay-mow, had troubles in the back
house and other sweet "memories".
Eaton County Historical Society members are ea
gerly hoping that they will soon have their own
museum to protect their treasures for future gener
ations to enjoy.

Probably no other town, large of small,
has ever bad such a fast face-lifting as Na
ville the past few days. In preparation for the Centennial
this week, everything is being painted, polished and dressed
up for the occasion of our 100th Birthday.
We have dreised up the store a little, too, and in the northeast
corner, the dislies on display go back.several generations in our fam
ily. The lamp belongs to Printha Swinsick and is around 200 years
old. Some or die other items of interest are being shared with tbe
public this week by
Dorothy and Lillian Garlinger.
, A great big welcome to all our visitors and natives returning home
for the CentenniaL I hope you enjoy yourselves, and stop in to say
hello.
I understand some of the Centennial Belles are planning to scrub
the sidewalks Wednesday evening around 6:30 before the festivities open
with the band concert. Apparently they've all recovered from the
Tug-O'-War.

CENTENNIAL ISSUE — MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. JUNE 26. 1969
Nashville
�Art shows important
in history of Nashville
An and an shows have a big pan in tbe history
of Nashville. With the exception of two years,
summer an shows have been held in the commun
ity even' yeas since 1949.
The first show was a two-day affair and was held
in Central Park on August 19 and 20, 1949. Approx
imately 350 persons signed the guest register for
this first show. It was sponsored by the Nashville
An Group Society, an organization with four mem
bers. These four ladies. Mary Holman, Helen
Strong, Ada Scon and Lelia Lentz, decided they
had enthusiasm for an and holding an exhibit of
paintings was something they panicularly wanted
to do. Thirteen local artists exhibited in this first
show.
Mrs. Holman was the instigator of holding clothes
line an shows in Michigan and tbe first show in
Nashville had paintings and other an work hung
on clotheslines between the maple trees in the park.
She had exhibited previously in West Palm Beach
and at Delray, Florida. She studied in the east for
many years and her seascapes and watercolors were
panicularly popular.
Mrs. Strong had come to Nashville seven years
before this first an show. Her mother, Minnie Jarvis,
was a well-known anist and had paintings in the
Louvre in Paris and the National Gallery in London.
Mrs. Strong had studied art at Ontario College of
Art.
Mrs. Lelia Lux more Lentz (Carl) taught music and
an in the Nashville schools, and Mrs. Ada Scott
(J. Mearle) studied art as a girl as a hobby.
At the third show the members of the Nashville
An Club donated four paintings and these were given
away at a drawing held in the park. In subsequent
shows, drawings were occasionally held for paintings
and art work, in the 1964 show, a total of 14 pieces
of art were donated by the exhibiting artists and these
were given as prizes in a drawing. At this particular
j bow, a Mr. Harry Brown from Grand Rapids had
an easel set up ana did oil painting during the show.
Don Altemus, curator of the Kingman Museum in
Bettie Creek, also did charcoal sketches. A group
of local musicians made up a German band and
they strolled through the park providing music.
Baskets of gladioli, donated by the village, circled
the center of the park. Members of the adult oil
painting clan at the high school served as hosts and
hostesses for the show in 1964. They wore colorful
berets made by one of the members and a reception
for all the exhibiting artists was held following the
closing of the art show.
During the 1962 show, a representative was present
from WXYZ-TV and movies were taken of the show
and interviews conducted with several of the exhibit
ing artists. Michael Church from the Extension
Service of the University of Michigan also attended
the show. His comment at this show was that the
entire community should get behind the art show
and publicize it and really let the state know of the
show. He also commented on the high calibre of
the an work exhibited. Many artists sold art work
at these summer shows.
During this period of time, Mrs. Holman, who
had a gallery in her home for several years, bought
an old nlaclsmith shop on Main Street across from
Putnam Library and converted this into a Gallery.
She later sold the building to the Fire Department
and. then moved her gallery back to her own home.
The shows had experienced unusually good luck,
weather wise. The show in X961 was the tint one
which had to be held indoors. This show was held
in the Masonic Temple, but as the weather cleared,
artists moved their exhibits out on the lawns at the
nearby homes.
Plans are underway now for an art show to be held
on Saturday during the Centennial Week. Mrs.
Eunice (Lloyd) Priddy is chairman in charge of these
anangements.
The interest in art has not been entirely limited
to oil painting or watercolors although this seems
to have the greatest following. Mrs. Eunice Priddy
has given instruction in pastel work (as well as oil
painting) to a group of adults meeting in her home
and also a group of 4-H students. Linda Cheeseman,
also having a 4-H class, is very adept at photo
tinting; Jane Shoup, with her interest in hex signs
and painted tinware, has been a popular speaker
at.many club meetings. Jerry Shoup executes deli
cate wood carving and has a carved totem pole in
the yard at his home. Amy Boughton, interested in
graphics, primarily does woodcuts, silk screens and
block printing. John Boughton has had several exhib
its of his unusual photographs. Mn. Hugh Feighner
does band painting of china. There are many more
persons in the area interested and involved in some
aspect of art-most of them devoting their spare time
to their intriguing and sometimes profitable hobby.
Elected to membership
Forty-five Ferris State College men students have
been initiated into Phi Eta Sigma, national honor
ary scholastic fraternity for male freshmen, at the
spring quarter initiation banquet.
Students elected to Phi Eta Sigma must take a
3. 50 average (out of a 4.0) during one term of
their freshman year.

Cannon and
Shoot to
June 28 arid 29, at Charlton
‘ Park, located
north of M-79, on the Thornapple River.
The newly renovated park, half way between Hastings and Nash
ville, will ring to the sounds of battle as teams compete with authen
tic cannons and muskets in target accuracy.
Mote than 100 men in colorful Civil War uniforms are expected to
take part in tbe two-day skirmish which will include the firing of pos
sibly twenty cannons, and an 1883 Gatling Gun.
Saturday's warm-up shoot will start at 11:00 a. m. and will wind
up at 1:00 p. m. Immediately after the competition on Saturday, the
gun crews will go to Nashville where they will add color to the Cen
t ennial Parade.'*
After the parade in Nashville the gun crews will return to Charlton
Park where
dance. The dance, which is o
here they will attend a square
. .
pen to tbe public, will start at 8:00 p. m.
Sunday's shoot will start at noon and will include two artillery e
vents in which authentic cannons will be used. Between the two ar
tillery events a colorful musket skirmish will be held.
According to Harvey Versteeg, Director of Charlton Park and the
Barry County Museum, the units attending the skirmish will represent
the Confederate as well as Union forces.
The 13th Alabama Infantry, composed mostly of men from Grand
Rapids will set up a real rebel camp, complete with lean-tos and
pole shelters.
•
Units from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois will
be represented in the activities.
Tbe 4th Michigan Infantry, made up of men from the southern part
of the state will be among the participants. Also expected to attend
the skirmish will be members of the 5th Michigan Artillery, compos
ed of men from Battle Creek, St. Johns and Lansing, tbe 5th Virginia
Cavalry, from Milwaukee, the 4th Texas Infantry of Wyandotte and
the 15th Virginia Cavalry from Birmingham, Mich.
Versteeg expects some 20 cannons to be unloaded at the park f o i
tbe shoot. He explains that most of these pieces have been rescued
from the junk heap. Some of them are guns that once were on court
house lawns and were discarded to be picked up and restored by the I
Civil War buffs who shoot them.
Among> the cannons to be used will be a bronze Napol
Napoleon,. one of
the most popular artillery pieces of the Civil War. Tnis iwas
---------a copy

■
—•* a- famous
r------- t '
a French gun named for the Emperor Napoleon, himself
artilleryman. The Napoleon gun weighed about half of what previous
guns with the same performance and caliber weighed. Even so,
the Napoleon weighs more than half a ton and was pulled by 6 horses.
Other cannons at the shoot will include 3 inch Ordinance Rifles,
six pound brass field guns, standard equipment of Civil War artillery
units, and 10 pound Parrott rifles, named for its designer, the fore
man of the West Point Foundry which produced them.
Due to the live firing of cannon, muskets and a galling gun during
the June 28th and 29th Muzzle Loading Cannon Matches in Charlton
Park, all citizens are warned NOT to enter the area behind the targets
on those dates.
This zone <"
of possible danger
lies within the area south of River Road,
between Sundago
dago Park and Charlton Park Road. It is expected spent
ammunition will stop in the hill area immediately 1behind the targe
but there is a chance of a wild shot passing into the area described a
bove. The safest place to be is behind tbe firing line, watching tbe
events.

�Village Council members
review financial report
A financial report for the second quarter of 1969
was presented members of the NashviUe council at.
their meeting Monday evening. It had been pre
pared by the village clerk. Mt*. Ada Skedgell. The
council members asked that they have a chance to
review the report in detail and be prepared for a
thorough discussion at the next meeting. Thursday
evening, July 10.
Monday night’s meeting had been set up early
this week because of tbe Centennial celebration
starting Wednesday evening and continuing through
Saturday.
A congratulatory letter regarding Nashville's Cen
tennial was received from the Rules and Resolutions
Committee of the Barry County Board of Supervisors.
In part it said, "Congratulations to Nashville and
community for the pan they have played in the life
and formation of our county, and we give this sa
lute to the residents, both past and present, for this
splendid effort. "
Tbe council has received an.invitation to attend
the 71st meeting of the Michigan Municipal League
to be held in Grand Rapids at the Pantland Hotel on
September 10, 11 and 12.
Permission was granted some of the Centennial
Belle groups for a sidewalk washing ceremony to be
staged Wednesday evening as a part of the Centen
nial celebration.
The council has been approached to consider mak
ing Water Street and the alley back of Main Street
to the west of the stores as a one-way street. After
considerable discussion Village President Harold
Christiansen appointed Don Skedgell and Ben K e n yon to make a further study of the situation and re
port at the next meeting.
Permission was given to park antique cars on Ma
ple Street from the office of the Maple Valley News
to State Street for two hours, 4 to 6 p. m. on Satur
day of this week in order that persons interested
may look over the old automobiles.
In making his monthly report to the council Act
ing Police Chief Kendall Wilcox reported the police
cruiser had traveled 2,778 miles; used 247.2 gallons
of gasoline; answered several citizens' complaints;
handled ten traffic violations; policed two property
damage accidents; two personal injury accidents;
make two arrests; given seven assists to other police
departments; cleared one breaking and entering case
and investigated two fires.

Youth Day parade Thurs.
Art Show highlights Centennial
One of the highlights of the Nashville Centennial
is the Art Show. It will open on the lawn of Putnam
Public Library at 10 a. m. , continuing to 5 p. m.
Judging from early registrations this could easily
be the largest show ever to be held in Nashville. Mrs.
Eunice Pnddy, local chairman, has had correspon
dence with over 100 artists including many from oth
er states.
One unique feature of the show will be the fact
that four generations in one family will have their
work on display. They are Mrs. Virginia Higdon-Kel
ler. formerly of Nashville and now of Eau Gallic,
Fla., her daughter, Mrs. Eunice Priddy; her grand
daughter, Mrs. Dale Ann Morowski, and her great
granddaughter, Duska Morowski, age 2.
Painting seems to be a natural talent in the family,
as Mrs. Keller’s grandmother, three other children of
Mrs. Keller's and Mrs. Morowski's son, Dominic,
age 5, also paints.
Mrs. Keller started painting as a little girl in North
Dakota. Her first painting was a Plymouth rock hen.
She has exhibited in many art shows in Florida and
her favorite subjects are flowers and scenes.
Mrs. Priddy has been painting for as long as she
can remember, and seriously for the past eleven
years. She too has exhibited in numerous art shows
in Michigan and in Florida. She has been president
of two art leagues in Florida, the Melbourne Art As
sociation and the Satalite Beach Art League. About
two years ago she was "pressured" into teaching, and
presently has two classes, one for teenagers and a
nother for adults. Although Mrs. Priddy paints a va
riety of subject matte', her speciality is pastel por
traits.
Mrs. Morowski has been painting seriously for the
past two years. Her mother, Mrs. Priddy, describes
her as a precision painter, " and her favorite sub
ject matter is sceneries, especially barns, and butter
flies. She also does lettering for sign paintings.
When "Mommie" paints, Duska also paints, and
one of her paintings has been included among the 75
or more the four persons will have on display at the
show Saturday.
The media in which this family paints is diversi
fied, and includes oil, pastel, water colors and there
will also be a number of felt marker sketches.
Prizes and ribbons will be given the artists appear
ing in the show Saturday, which will be judgedby
James Chase, from Northwood Institute, Midland.
A special prize is being offered for the best pic
ture on the Centennial theme.
.Pictured above in the back, left, is Dale Morow
ski, in the center, back, Eunice Priddy and in
front of them, Mrs. Keller, and on the right, front,

A Salute
To One Hundred Years Of Progress
Some one hundred years ago a group of people liv
ing on the banks of the Thomapple River celebrated
the incorporation of their village to be known by the
name of the village of Nashville. Tbe actual incor
poration was signed by Governor Henry P. Baldwin,
March 26, 1869. Perhaps that is the only thing that
Governor Baldwin ever did
n
in history.
Many years before Nashville was important to the
white man in the territory, it was important to the
Indians of the area. For at least 200 years before the
Centennial, the Indians gathered in this area to make
maple syrup or sugar.
NashviUe has seen many changes through this first
100 years. The railroad, which became a principal
reason for the town's even being here, started with a
few wood-burning trains a week and became a very
important link between Jackson and Grand Rapids,
with several trains a day and then within tbe mem
ory of many of us, went back to the status of a few
trains a week. No longer the big impressive steam
ers, but now. the howling diesels.
Passenger trains, once an important part of the
railroad, have now become non-existent. The bus
iness places that were here when the town was first
incorporated one hundred yean ago are now gone,
but the town itself has remained primarily the same
that it was when it started - a friendly little village
in the valley.
So NashviUe goes into her second hundred years,
looking a bit different than she did at her start as
the above picture will show, but the changes are on
ly outward. The people in the village have remain
ed friendly and warm and welcoming. Several brid
ges have been built across the Thomapple in that
hundred years but they have not reaUy changed the
;o on.

ville also assisted in the judging and he performed
the honor of placing the crown upon the Queen's

��Proud Of Its Heritage, Wishes
Congratulations To
The Nashville Centennial
We have a lot of customers who used to be con
stantly muttering, “It’s after three and I forgot
to go to the bank ...” .
Most of these people have switched to Michigan
National Bank where they can count on another
hour and a half to do their daily banking.
They call us “The 4:30 Bank.”
We also have customers who used to forget to go
to the bank on Friday. We solved this problem
for them by staying open all day Saturday ‘til...
(you guessed it) ... 4:30 p.m.
,
Rather than try to remember a complicated
schedule of hours, they just remember “4:30 p.m.”
They know they can come to our bank any day
but Sunday and holidays and we’ll be open.
If you still have a hard time remembering to
bank before 3:00, why not switch to "The 4:30
Bank” and relax.

The Wolcott house
The Wolcott House wu built by James McGraw,
Mrs. Gruso'r father and Amber Reid's grandfather.
The Wolcott House was acroM the street and about
one-quarter block to the north from the Quick Store
or where the Leonard Station is today.
Jamet McGraw must have been a good carpenter
for the Hotel was a fine looking building and the at
traction for passers-by. The building was nicely
planned and located. It had a porch the length o f
the building about 3 steps high, and what a tempta
tion that was for school children to walk the length
of the lower step and they were never told they could
not do so. There were plenty erf chairs for the guests
on the porch. The yard was kept clean.
Amber Cruso married Theodore Reid and they had
two boys, Robert and Donald.
The managers were Cap and Kate Bowen and
daughter, but extra help was needed, especially
when show troops came. The building was well kept
and delicious meals were served in the dining
room.
It was said of it: Where they were reasonable in
price - The Hotel was built to last several genera
tions - It was patronized especially by the travell
ing salesmen - It has always been a question why it
was called "Wolcott House” when it was built and
owned by McGraw.

MICHIGAN. JUNE 26, 1969
�The Nashville News has
a colorful beginning
In September of 1873, some five years after the
village of Nashville was chartered, a young fellow
named Mr. Orno Strong came through the town,
liked the looks of the village, and, convinced that
it was going to grow to a big city on the banks of
the Thornapple, decided to start a newspaper.
Strong, as his name indicated, was a strong man,
at least strong in character and he wrote in the salty
vernacular ot the day, but at the same time with
the more or less stilted journalese of the time.
In his original issue. Volume 1, Number 1. dated
October 3, 1873', Strong said: "We shall weep with
those that weep, and rejoice with, them that rejoice;
in fact, we shall hold ourselves prepared to carry
said weeping and rejoicing to any extent required. "
"We will talk up the merits of the village until
they will not only be known to the people of this
vicinity, but will be caught up and reflected, like
the light of the morning over the whole land, and
will make Nashville so plain and well known to the
outside world that a wayfaring man, though a fool,
will know het ways and walk therein. "
Strong went on to say he selected Nashville as a
base of operations because he thought that the inhab
itants had the vim and energy to push her ahead and
make her a "flourishing city on the banks of the
Thornapple where now 1, 000 people call their home.
We shall do our share to bring about that desirable
result," Strong said.
Strong then said: "We have set our stakes and hung
our banner on the outer walls of the building opposite
the post office and there you can find us, both early
and late." He ended by saying, "With our best bow
after having spoke our little piece, we submit the
news to the public. "
The paper flourished under Strong. He wrote
with a verve and vigor of the times. Nashville, at
that time, was growing and growing fast. The people
and the town were young. This vigor was reflected
in Strong's writing. Orno did not pull punches. He
called a spade a spade. He warned the population
in his initial issue that he was going to print every
thing in the way of news that he thought was news.
Some of the things he thought newsworthy, others
apparently did not. In the issues of the first 15 years
of the News under Orno Strong, there is more than
one reference to the fact that the editor had been
horse-whipped or otherwise treated to physical vio
lence. Strong was not adverse to coming right out
in print and calling a man a liar, using names and
specific information. On more than one occasion
he printed wedding stories with an addendum that
the happy couple would be making a birth announce
ment within a matter of a few days.
For 15 yean. Strong held forth in Nashville and
then in the year 1888, he sold the paper to Len W.
Feighner, an employee of his and he. Strong, moved
to Oregon.
The paper, under Feighner, remained as salty and
humorous as it had under Strong. Feighner, however,
tempered his humor with kindness and refrained from
some of the out-and-out scandalous remarks that
Strong had been inclined to use. If the paper under
Strong was somewhat salty, it also did a bit of moving.
In 1873 it was started in an office on the west side of
Main Street, across from what was then the post office.
The office was moved to several locations on Main
Street and then sometime before 1888 was moved
into a schoolhouse which is the present site of the
Nashville News on Maple Street.
Len Feighner's grandson, Leonard Kane, says that
his grandfather told him that his first week's pay for
working for Orno Strong was a pair of shoes. Len
Feighner not only owned the paper for 40 years, the
longest period anyone had owned it, he was also
without doubt the best-known of the editors and
publishers of the Nashville News. Feighner was very .
active in the Michigan Press Association and was
instrumental in its early growth. He served as a Field
Secretary for Michigan Press Association and also
served as the president of that association. In addi
tion to his newspaper work, Feighner served as the
postmaster of Nashville. For several years he served
in the Michigan State Legislature; he was often a
member of the School Board of Nashville and was the
guiding hand in the Len Feighner Agency, a news
paper brokerage that is still flourishing under the
guidance of Mr. Woodward Smith of Mt. Pleasant.
The News was sold in 1928 to A. B. McClure who
operated it for only three years before he sold it to
Willard St. Clair and Mary Kellogg Gloster. The
Glosters, both newspaper people, owned and operated
a newspaper in Levering, Michigan. Mr. Gloster was
a printer by trade. Mrs. Gloster had worked with the
Adrian Daily Telegram as a reporter. They operated
1956, that much ot the flavor and the fun of running
a newspaper died with him.
'
The Hinderliters sold the newspaper in December
of 1956 to John and Amy Boughton, who moved here
from Adrian, Michigan. TheBoughtons converted the
newspaper from a letterpress to an offset printing process
and added the subscription list of the Vermontville
Echo to it and changed the name to the Maple Valley
News to include born communities. The Nashville
News, only four years younger than the town, will
celebrate its centennial in 1973.

Nashville’s first big fire
destroys five business places
Nashville's first big fire occurred the night of
February 25, 1874. The mad ringing of the Metho
dist Church bell brought people out of bed and men
were running crying Tire. "
The village of Nashville then was less than ten
years old and boasted about a thousand population.
The business district was mainly composed of frame
wooden buildings thrown up in a hurry of cheap
lumber.
The fire on that cold night in 1874, started at
the rear of Philip Holler & Son's Hardware Store,
which stood fronting Main Street in a long, narrow
building closely paralleling Cherry Alley. In other
words, it stood where the south one-half of the
present Keihl Hardware now stands. Within 20 min
utes after the blaze was discovered there were sev
eral hundred people on Main Street. Before the
night was over, almon the entire population of the
town and scores of country folks were on hand to
witness Nashville's first really disastrous fire. With
in the course of three hours five business places
were wiped out and two families were left home
less.
Although there was no wind the flames soon
spread to the building next door north, which was
owned by R. S. Brady and occupied by Ed. R. White
Mr. White operated a meat market on the ground
floor and he and his wife lived in an apartment a
bove their store. They had retired for the night
when the sound of shouting awakened them, and
they dressed hurriedly and carried a few of the ir
possessions into the street before the blaze envelop
ed their building.
Those first frame buildings had been built close
together and it was only a matter of minutes before
the third one was aflame. This next building, which
was owned by C. C. Linsley, was occupied by C. A.
Stebbins and Captain Boise, who operated a gener
al store. They sold dry goods, groceries and many
other items, including gun powder and dynamite.

ing burning timbers were blown a hundred feet in
to the air. The flying debris started a few small
new fires but nothing that could get out of control,
and while bucket brigades wet down nearby build
ings, the fire fighters concentrated on literally tear
ing apart the frame building that housed the News
plant. Ropes were made fast to vital .points and with
several hundred men and two teams of oxen strain
ing to the task, the building was toppled over and
hauled clear across the street, out of danger from
flying sparks.
Before this, Orno Strong, .publisher of the Nlews,
had been busy carrying his possessions out of the shop
and his final achievement was the rescue of the
1,100-pound press, which was picked up bodily by
about a dozen men and carried to safety. Young
Strong had come to Nashville and started the News
less than six months before and his estimated $300
loss from the fire was perhaps more of a blow than
that suffered by some of his neighbors. True to the
traditions of his business, Editor Strong issued a news
paper two days later, and the biggest news of the
week had to do with the fire. The story told in de tail how, after the News building was town down,
teams of oxen hauled the larger postions away and
how two lines of men were formed to pass water to
the fire, while others swarmed onto the roof of D. C.
Griffith's store next door and kept exposed parts cov
eted with wet carpets and quilts. "And thus”, wrote
Orno Strong, "Nashville's big fire finally was check
ed. "
Most of the residents of the town stayed up all
night. Barrels of whiskey were broken open and set
conveniently for anyone and everyone to partake of.
Next morning few of the sawmills could operate be
cause of missing employees.
All in all, Nashville was lucky. Had there bfeen
a wind the newly built village would have been
wiped out in a hurry. Naturally such a conflagration
inspired talk of an organized fire department, but
it took another 17 years to truly fill that need On
ly after the disastrous Lenta Table Factory fire in
1891 did the village get busy and provide an effic
ient water system. The late 70's however, saw the
construction of numerous fire wells - bricked-in cis
terns underground in the business district for storing
a reserve supply of water. Some of these old cisterns
still exist underneath present sidewalks and streets.
Cause of the big fire never was determined al
though there was considerable talk at the time about
its having been the work of an incendiary. The loss
es fell heavily upon C. C. Linsley, who owned four
of the buildings and who carried no insurance. He
operated a patent medicine business and carried
several thousand dollars worth of liquors and medi

The village of Nashville is celebrating its Cen
tennial this year. The village was named for a Gar
audus Nash who was a civil engineer helping build
the New York Central railroad through this village
100 years ago. While Garaudus Nash never lived
here, he suggested to the townspeople that the vil
lage be named after him, and apparently enough of
the early pioneers approved the idea to call th is
community Nashville.
To the Samuel L. Hamilton family, the Carroll
Hamilton family now of Lansing but many years
residents rtf Nashville^ and to the children of their
deceased sister, Mrs. Ina Hamilton-Decker, the
Centennial has special meaning. Their greatgrand
mother, Nancy Nash-Hamilton, was a sister of Garaudui Nash.
Samuel Nash, who lived from 1805 to 1875, had
nine children, including a son Garaudus and a
daughter. Nancy. Nancy married Samuel M. Ham
ilton, and they had a son whom they named Nathan
Augustus Seymore Hamilton, whose initials spelled
"NASH". Nathan married Araminta Kennedy, and
their son, Clyde, was the father of Samuel L., Car
roll A. and Ina Hamilton.

Flea Market building
extensively damaged Wed.
Nashville residents residing on North Main Street
were awakened at 4:50 a. m. Wednesday as a speed
ing car came into town from the north. The car,
driven by Douglas Wright, 24, of Allegan, swerved
to the left, knocked down a speed limit sign near
the Church of the Nazarene, then the coin laundry
sign on the corner of Washington and Main Street,
continued across the intersection and struck the cor
ner of the building which houses the Flea Market
before coming to a stop.
The driver, suffering head injuries, abrasions and
an injured-right knee, along with his two passengers,
Gerald Miller and David Gowans, both of Allegan,
were taken to Pennock Hospital Miller was treated
for cuts and bruises and released. Gowans was not
injured.

�LETTERS
BACKSTREET
TO THE
BAROMETER
EDITOR
john bouphton
This has been a long, hard weekend for all of us.
For most, it started way before the weekend; weeks
ago, with hard work, concentration, long hours and
plugging away at something we were really not sure
now to attack
The result, however, has been phenomenal. Nash
ville's Centennial has turned out to be one of the
extraordinary celebrations of this kind that I have
ever seen. This did not just come about. This is the
result, as I said before, of long hours, of hard work,
by many people.
Regardless of bow it came about, it did come a
bout and it was a tremendous success. We have to
admit, chance was on our side. We have had
so
much rain and bad weather previous to the Nash
ville Centennial Celebration, that there was hardly
any left over for the celebration. We almost had to
have perfect weather. All of the bad stuff had been
used up.
To try to name all the people and organizations
responsible for the success of the Centennial would
take more time than I have and the space that this
newspaper has. These people are legion. These peo
ple, many of them, have given time and effort Be
yond recognition. But their time and their efforts
have paid off, beautifully.
If Nashville's Bi-Centennial is one-half as im pressive as her Centennial, I personally will be sur
prised. But, I'll be surprised from somewhere else,
I won't be around to see it.
This Centennial Celebration has really been
something to behold. This, more than anything else,
has brought the people of the town together. I can’t
imagine groups and individuals working together
better and more harmoniously than our people have
for this Centennial Celebration. And, of course, this
is the reason for the success of the celebration. It
is only with concerted community effort that any
thing like the successful celebration we have seen
could come about. Nashville's Centennial has been
the result of true co-operation and true co-opera
tion is the only salvation of our world.
The reason we have had a successful celebration
of our centennial is because all groups, all individ:
uals got together and made it successful. It doesn't
happen in all communities, it doesn't always hap
pen in our community. Let's hope that in the future,
it will happen in our community.
I have a few personal memories of the centenni
-----------al as I'm sure we all do that will live

miss Barney, and possibly he will miss me. I was —'
happy to see that he got a prize in the beard con
test - he deserves it,
i
There is the experience of being thrown into the
Jaycee Jail with Vern Wheeler and Larry Filter and
then the delight of having the beautiful redhaired
girl, Bonnie Wyant, being thrown in jail with us.
But the Jaycee Keystone Kops saw to it that
the
whole thing was ruined: they threw my wife in with
us! I complained bitterly about this and so did Bon
nie. She said this threw the ratio of men to women
way off.
Everyone seemed to have fun during the Centen
nial Celebration. The Art show was a tremendous
success; the firemen did a beautiful job of keeping
things organized and going; the Barry County Sher
iff's Department are to be commended for the way
they controlled the crowd.
Truly, the Centennial is something that happens
only once a century but when it happends, it hap
pens with a bang.
The parade was one of the best I have ever seen
in all my life. Each unit in the parade was outstand
ing; I wish I could mention them all. I watched the
parade with State Representative Stanldy Powell
who said he thought Nashville's Centennial celebra
tion was one of the best he has ever seen. Senator
Stamm, in his address given at the start of the Cen
tennial Celebration last Wednesday, said that he
thought Nashville,, and.towns, like it throughout the
United States, are far more important than all the
major cities put together. He said he believes that
the very best America has to offer can be found in
towns such as Nashville, and that our American vil
lages are the reservoir of American heritage.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. John Boughton,
We the Maple Valley Jaycees would like to thank
you for your support of the Keystone Kops. We have
appreciated your pictures and news articles cover
ing our activities.
This publicity added encouragement to the Key
stone Kops and familiarized the community with
our antics. Again, thank you for these articles.
Sincerely,
Jerry A. Reese,
Project Chairman
Keystone Kops
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Boughton,
Having sent a couple of Nashville Centennial
books to former Nashville residents who spent their
childhool there, I was pleased to hear from them one aged 60 and one 80 - and find how much they
enjoyed them.
However, both voiced a desire to know the names
of all the unlabelled pictures, and to see more Of
the "old days" written up, I intend to receive from
then, if possible, their recollections and any o 1 d
pictures they might be willing to donate. I suggest
you print such an invitation to all old residents-many might have material that would be invaluable
to our Historical Society and could be used on our
next anniversary - say, 125th.
They could number the pages of our present book
and add any information for that page, etc.
I'm sure I can find some pictures in my home in
Nashville, and hope to get up there for part of the
Centennial celebration.
Would you be willing to print such an invitation
and name the person or persons who could take care
of such material if offered?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Margaret (Furniss) Bateman
Debby Dunham, from Vermontville, was a part
of the Maple Valley float in the Centennial Parade
Saturday afternoon. The sign on the car read "Com
plete Coverage with the Maple Valley Newr" and
Debby displays the "coverage" in this photo. Could
be Chris Boughton, the driver of her car, had to
read his paper before he started the drive in the pa
rade.
When the firemen P, A. wagon announced Para
chute Jump at FuUer Heights' Subdivision, Amy and
I were sitting in our back yard. Amy had had it she was beat - and I think I was working on a case
of flu and was feeling a little low so 1 asked Chris
if he would cover for us and get pictures of the par
achutists coming down.
Chris took the little camera and headed out for
Fuller Heights. Amy and I sat in the yard and watch
ed the airplane with the parachutists fly over our
house. A little while later we saw the parachutists
bail out, three little dots in the air. They fell free
and then the parachutes broke open and drifted to
earth - and you guessed it, Chris stood over in Ful
ler Heights on target, waiting for the parachutists
to come down so he could get a picture; and where
did they land? Almost in our own back yard. Two
of them came down in the field owned by the Cath
olic Church, right directly behind our house, s o
close that we could talk to them. The other came
down way across town, I understand, in Seth
Graham's field. If I had kept the camera, I would
have had the picture; and Chris stood over in Ful
ler Heights waiting for the picture.
Sirs:
Your Centennial edition is great -- Will you
please save us 20 copies. I will come pick them up.
Thank you. Enclosed $5. 00 check.

Jerry Reese, posing here with Barney, added great
ly to the fun of the Centennial, with the various ac
tivities of the Maple Valley Keystone Kops. Jerry
acted more or less as the chairman for these Kops
bur many members of the Jaycees also took part in
the fun and clowning. Barney, a mild-mannered and
friendly goat, was walked up and down Main Street
as a sentence for some "violator" and he seemed to
have as good a time of the fun as anyone.
Certainly the Keystone Kops are to be congratula
ted and thanked for the fun they provided to the Cen
tennial celebration. Their fiat action was noticed
at the Centennial Banquet and this gave a taste of
the fun which was to come. Their suponeas and ridic
ulous charge* and sentence* will give many people

Nashville can bv proud of a really great Centen
nial celebration. We have just witnessed the success
of the efforts of a great many people working togethtogeth
er toward
“■ J one
— goal.
3*11. We took Inventory Sunday at
the store and some of the crew felt about 100 yean
old after the big weekend. How about that a
parade
___ 2.1I
I’m sure it's the biggest
had,
;est and best we've ever had.
The Jaycees and VFW
•/ worked together on that and I
think Jerry Johnson the chairman, did a marvelous
job. After all the fixing up all over town, some peo
ple couldn't wait to get back to messing up things,
again. We had the edge of our building along the
parking lot nicely groomed until Sunday when we
picked up several broken bottles. A glass bottle and
a brick wall is a combination some just can't resist.
It's a shame.
We'll be closed this week Friday, the 4th of July.
Even though we had a big celebration we're not too
tired to help you plan your holiday menu, and with
that in mind we have a real good ad this week. What'
ever you do, whereever you go, have a safe and
happy 4th, and Don't Leave Any Liner Behind Youl

Burning Ordinance
TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE TO REGULATE BURNING
ORDINANCE
An ordinance to regulate the burning of papers, rubbish, leaves,
grass, or any other inflamable waste material, within the Town
ship of Castleton, and to provide penalty therefor, and to repeal
any Ordinances in conflict therewith.
Frost-free Refrigerator
^Automatic IceMaker
THE TOWNSHIP OF VERMONTVILLE ORDAINS:
SECTION I - It shall be unlawful to burn any paper, rubbish, grass,
or any other waste material within the Township of Castleton, un
less such materials are contained in a steel, or masonry container,
or constructed as to prevent tire blowing about of any pieces of burn
ing material, any ashes or cinders thereof: the approved trash burn
er shall be no less than 25 feet from any building. Provided how
ever, that leaves may be burned in any regularly used driveway, as
long as it is a safe distance from the house, and other buildings,
ana properly supervised and attended, so as not to endanger any sur
rounding buildings or other property.
11
Willie Imudluk, who recently visited Michigan, really lives on
the edge of the Arctic. Even though his family enjoys the
convenience of a modern refrigerator, Willie nearly lost his
cool when he saw the new frost-free model with the automatic
ice maker. We know you will, too. Every man will love the
luxury of a never-ending supply of ice cubes, the convenience
of no more ice tray filling or spilling. And wouldn't you like
to forget that dreaded defrosting chore — the chopping,
slopping and mopping — with a refrigerator that defrosts
itself automatically? See the new frost-free refrigerator with
the automatic ice maker today. You’ll agree with Willie —
it’s a very nice idea for you and your familyl
SECTION II - Any receptacle for burning of such paper, rubbish or
other inflamable materials shall be subject to inspection by the
Chief of the Fire Department, or anyone delegated by him to make
such inspection. Said inspector shall have the duty and authority to
condemn any such receptable found to be dangerous or improperly
constructed.
SECTION III - It shall be unlawful to burn any grass, weeds, leaves
or other material from any field or lot without first obtaining a per
mit from the Fire Chief, or someone designated by him to act in
such capacity, who shall be empowered to issue the permit at his
discretion, having in mind the weather conditions, water supply,
winds and other hazardous conditions. There shall be no burning
started after 9:00 pm.
,
SECTION IV - No civil liability shall attach to tne Township of
Castleton, or any of its officers, inspectors or employees as a con
sequence of having issued such a permit
SECTION V - Any violation of this Ordinance shall be subject to a
fine of not more than $50 or 30 days in jail, or both.
This Ordinance shall become effective within 21 days from the
date of its passing.

This Ordinance was adopted on the 12th day of April, 1966.

Whew! The Nashville Centennial is over. Now that
the dust has cleared, we can see the celebration was
a huge success. The efforts of many people have
been rewarded in this fine tribute to a great com
munity! The Maple Valley Jaycee Keystone Kops
would like to add their thanks to the people of Nash
ville for their cooperation with our Kops and espec
ially to those who were arrested, tried and sentenced
during the past months. These people were all good
sports, which added to the fun of this time. We've
thoroughly enjoyed our small part of the. Centennial
and hope that our antics were enjoyed by the com
munity.
Part of our fun included the jail being stolen, chain
gang, often getting wet, arresting corset stealers,
and "belling the disc jockey" to keep track of him.
A special thanks to our local policemen, who spent
time in our jail, yet do a much better job of keep
ing the peace than the Keystone Kops. More fun was
had by Barney, our official goat, wno had many
keepers during the Centennial and won fame by win
ning in the beard contest.
.
Many thanks again to the people of Nashville, es
pecially to Floyd White, Dorothy Swift, Don Barlow,
Dave McIntyre of WBCH and the’ merchants of Nash
ville who were more than genferous in their efforts to
help the Kops in their "anucs. "
Now, as the sun sinks slowly in the west, we put
away our Keystone Kops gear and look forward to
the next 100 years.

Rev. E. F. Rhoades retires
after serving 42 years
Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades have retired from
active ministry after serving 42 years in the Michi
gan Conference of the former E. U. B. Church.
Their first service after moving from Ohio was the
North and South Maple Grove Churches where they
served from 1927 to 1938; they then went to Scott
ville where they ministered until 1950. They then
moved to Gladwin serving the Bard Smith Creek and
Riley churches and left m 1955 for a stay of one
year in Chesaning. They served the Evart Charge for
two years, when they again moved to the North and
South Maple Grove Charge. They served there until
retirement.
The Rhoades have seven children, eleven grand
children and seven great-grandchUdren.
It is interesting to note that they finished their
services in the same two churches that found him a
vigorous, energetic young minister.
The worth of their 42 years of service can be found
in the communities in wnich Rev. Rhoades has
served.
Who can say how many people he has influenced
by his fine example through the years. No one, but
two suspect that it would be many, many.
The worth of a postage stamp is valued because
of its ability to stick to one thing untH it gets there.
They seem to have this in common.
On June 22, 1969, Rev. Rhoades preached at the
North and South churches; then turned over the pul
pit to Rev. M. R. Putnam, who was assigned to take
over at the two churches and also Barryvule for the
coming year.
The North and South Maple Grove churches are
honoring Rev. and Mrs. Rhoades on his retirement,
on Sunday, July 13th at the South Maple Grove
Church.
Church services wiH be at 11:00 a. m. with the
Rev. Rhoades giving the message. There wiH be a
potluck dinner at noon.
AH neighbors and friends are invited to join with

CENTENNIAL PARADE — NASHVILLE
A couple of weeks ago when a bunch of people
from out of town drove down a sidewalk and slam med into the side of the Flea Market, knocking a
large sized hole in the wall, they also did their car
very little good. They too suffered just a bit and
were taken to Pennock Hospital While the police
were questioning-the men about the accident, some
one made a remark about them hitting a building in
Nashville.
"Nashville?" one of the men said. "I realized we
drove an awful lot last night but I had no idea that
we got this far south "
That last one reminds me of the time that I was
introduced to a man in Detroit as the "editor of the

so Merle made up the difference, and when they re
turn the lad will pay back the "loan* by raking hay
for Mr. Martin.
Merle, who is a baseball enthusiast for
these
Suths just about 24 hours a day, tried to get a base11 game set up at White River, but unfortunately
the plans were completed by the time the group

Youthful drivers should think
twice before trying drag
racing on the highway.
Conviction on this. offense
means 2 points on your
driving record. The law
defines drag racing as when
two or more cars are driven
side by side in a spirit of
competition over a given dis
tance in a race to see who
comes out first. This is pro
hibited on Michigan's public
highways and any areas open
to the general 'public. The
only place for it is at race
tracks or speedways.

Steam engine show will
take place next weekend
The Michigan Steam Engine and Thresher's Club
will meet Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 25,26
and 27, at Barry’s Resort, seven miles west of Nash
ville for their annual reunion. The resort is located
just north of M-79 on Charlton Park Highway.
Seen at the show in various demonstrations will
be some 20 old steam engines dating back over the
past 60 yeats, along with antique gas tractors and
stationary engines. The steam engines will furnish
power for exhibitions of old fashioned threshing, bal
ing and sawing, along with operating a veneer ma
chine and shingle miu. There will also be pulling
contests to determine the ability of the old engines.
The engines will also be put through the prony brake
and Baker fan tests.
Before the big steam engines can participate in
any show they must be water tested and registered
as requested by the State of Michigan. This will
take place a few days before the snow, but no defin
ite date has been announced yet.
This year for the first time there will be a heli
copter on the grounds for those who may wish to take
a ride, and on Saturday evening there will be old
time square dance music.
Throughout the three days the big engines, along
with the old tractors and other antique engines wifi
be seen in two parades daily, at 9:30 a. m. and 1:30
p. m. There will also be a steamboat for those want
ing to cruise Thornapple River.
Officers of the club are: President, Ken Lewis of
Rives Junction; vice president, Ward Woodmansee of
Hastings; secretary-treasurer, Carl Tuttle of Howell,
and board of directors are Clifford Peterson of Grass
Lake, Robert Cappon of Woodland, and Lynn Mix
of Hastings.
When the big engines start heading for Barry's Re
sort, Lynn Mix's will be the only one driven to the
park under its own power.
years has resigned to accept a supervisory position
with the Oldsmobile in Lansing. He will continue to
make his home in Nashville. Miss Mona Green, high
school vocal and history teacher for the past year, has
resigned to return to college to work on her PhD.
The elementary principal, Howard Yost, gave a
detailed report on the summer remedial Title I pro
gram, stating that of the 52 enrolled the attendance
had been, for the most part, only 35 to 70 percent.
He emphasized the need for such a program, and sta
ted he would check into the possibility of holding the
program during the school year when the children
would be available.
Supt. Carroll Wolff announced the hearing on the
transfer of the Ronald V. Simmons property to the
Lakewood district from Maple Valley will be held on
July 23, at 9 a. m. in Lansing. He stated the general
maintenance work is being completed throughout the
buildings, and that additional hall lockets for the
junior-senior high school building would be placed
as soon as they arrive. By September 1, some 70 stu
dents will have completed their driver education pro
gram including the required six hours driving time.
The board voted to hold the public hearing on the
budget on Monday evening. August 11, the night of
the regular board meeting. They will also seek bids

A committee made up of Chris King, Herald Han
sen; Wallace Graham and Supt. Wolff will check
out the bleachers at the south side of the Fuller
Street athletic field. Last year temporary bleachers
were set up in this area to help eliminate a seating
shortage. However, these were "borrowed" from the
visitors' side, so the committee will make recom
mendations on whether or not to construct something
more permanent on the south side, this returning the
portable bleachers to the other side.
A contract is to be signed with the Burroughs Com
pany on a yearly maintenance contract for $300 to
cover labor and parts on the two-year old bookkeep
ing machine.
The'four new busses are completed and will be
picked up at the plant in Mitchell, Indiana and
brought to Nashville within the next few days.
More than 75 people gathered at the United Meth
odist Community House last Sunday evening to meet
the minister and his family, Rev. and Mrs. Crosby
and children.
A short program was presented and refreshments
served.
Rev. James G. Crosby is a graduate of Otterbein
College in 1940 and from United Seminary in Day
ton, Ohio in 1943 and has served churches in De
troit, South Haven, Sebewaing, and Jackson Trinity
Church, the latter being his charge before coming
to Nashville.
-Rev. Crosby's wife, Wanda, has served several
years as the children's director for the conference,
and has been active in the Women's Society work.
The Crosbvs have two daughters, Claudia who
taught school in Jackson and will leave next month
to teach in Okinawa, and Gloria who has completed
one year at Jackson Community College and is work
ing in Dayton this year, and two sons, James, who

Maple Valley Jaycees
hold business meeting
This Wednesday, July 16, the Maple Valley Jay
cees held a business meeting at the American Le
gion Hall in Vermontville at 7:30 p. m.
Representatives of the Volunteer Fire Department
from Nashville were present to discuss their need for
a new fire barn.
The new JC president, Larry Filter, stated that

volving award known as the "Work, Work, Work"
award and for the first time, this will go to two
members who have worked very hard over the past
year to make the Nashville Centennial successfuL
They are Jerry Reese, chairman of the Keystone
Kops, and Jerry Johnson, parade marshaL This a
ward is to be a monthly event in the future, with
each person having his name engraved on the award
whenne is award-winner.
Open House planned to
tell about water tower needs
The Nashville Village Council Thursday evening
heard the report of Police Committee chairman, Ben
Kenyon report on the need for either repairing the
1967 police cruiser, or purchasing a new one. An es
timate of the repair costs will be given at the July
24 meeting. In all probability the council will seek
bids on a new car at the same time.
In order to familiarize Nashville residents of the
operation of the pumping station and the sewage dis
posal plants. Village President Harold Christensen
has suggested that during the week of August 10 to
17 open house be held at both places.
This particular week has been designated state
wide a; "Willing Water" week, the symbol of pub
lic water service. During open house Nashville visi
tors will also be informed of some of the problems
facing the council regarding the need for putting up
a new water tower. The present tower, of 1887 vin
tage, holds only 65,000 gallons of water, and one
that holds 200, 000 gallons is actually needed. Water
pressure in the outskirts of the village is practically
nil, and any extension of lines for new customers is
impossible. Hours for the open house will be an
nounced later.
Letters of appreciation from Jerry Johnson, parade
chairman from the Maple Valley Jaycees, and from
Mrs. Nelson Brumm, secretary of the Centennial
Committee, were read thanking the council for their
cooperation and assistance during the Centennial fes
tivities.
In the report of Acting Police Chief Kendall Wil
cox , he stated that the police cruiser had traveled
1,413 miles since the last council meeting, and had
used 145. 6 gallons of gasoline. One accident had
been investigated, and arrests had been made for a
minor in possession and drinking on a public street;
for disorderly conduct; reckless driving, and one on
a felony warrant for another county. There had been
one transport to the Kalamazoo State Hospital, and
several moving and non-moving traffic rickets have
been issued. Officer Wilcox also extended thanks to
the Keystone Kops for their-traffic assistance during
the CentenniaL
Since the lest council meeting the trustees have
had a chance to review in detail the quarterly finan
cial report. For the most part they were pleased with
the results. In a few cases the expenditures were high,
due to payment of some of the bills held over from
the previous quarter when the village was low in fi
nances.
In other action the council approved payment of
the bills, and voted to have the Chamber of Com merce sign prepared for the Centennial parade to be
placed in Central Park on Main Street.
The Masonic Lodge took care of the arrangements
for materials to be put in the Time Capsule, buried
during the Centennial celebration. The above pic
ture. shows the burial in Central Park. The Village
will be erecting a marker for the capsule.

There's nothing quite so delightful as a day in
July. Poets can carry on about June and May and the
beautiful days of autumn, but nothing gets to me
quite so much as mid-July - hot. even humid when the sun comes up early and sets late - when
the birds start singing at 4:Cfo in the morning and
are still going it-sal at 10:00 at night - when you
can walk out of doors without freezing to death when the com is shoulder high - and the grass grows
so fast, you can hardly turn the mower off before it
is time to start in again - when the sounds, the
smell, and the heat of summer become so overpow
ering that one hardly can stand it - this is my time
of year.
++++++++++++++++
We have a little world traveler who suns com
ing to our yard about this time of year. He comes
to drink the nectar from the flowers in the yard - a
little hummingbird who hovers for long periods of
time in front of a blossom. He spends his summers
with us, but he is smarter that I am. He, as I, en
joys the warmth and comfort of July weather. He, as
I, really doesn't care to battle the snow, the cold,
the starvation of winter - so he follows the sun. July
and August, he'll spend in our yard, but sometime
in September, I suspect right after the Labor Day
traffic has calmed down some, he suns for the
south again, and he moves with the seasons in a per
petual July and August, until he is way back down
in the jungles of Guatemala, Panama, Colombia,
Where there are always blossoms with necur, where
it is always warm and where a hummingbird's life
is worth living.

Dear Editor:
Would like to say Thank You to so many great
people in our little town. Thanks to the groups that
worked so hard on the centennial for many months
previous to the fun-packed three days ana four
nights.
Please tell anyone who has not seen the displays
in the Nashville stores and windows they should hur
ry, hurry, hurry to see the items furnished by our
own proud citizens and interested persons from sur
rounding communities.
I am thrilled by items on display from different
phases of life which range from 50 to 150 years old.
Many of these items are still in the windows and I,
for one, still go "window shopping."

I have a luncheon buddy who rides a bicycle for
exercise and almost every day he has a story of
some adventure that has come to him while he is
riding his bicycle. The other day a newcomer to
the group, who is also a bicycle-rider, told this
story.
It seems he took his son’s 3-speed English bicycle
out for a tide and was batting down hill on a street
in Lansing, just about as fast as he could go. He
noticed a police car behind him, but he got through
a traffic light on the ug-end of the yellow and the
surt of the red, and the police car had to stop. A
couple of blocks up the street as he was pedaling a
long for all his might, the police car pulled next
to him.
"Pull over to the curb, " one of the cops said.And
he did.
"Where are you going?" the cop asked him.
"Home."
"You in a rush?" the cop said.
" Not particularly, " my friend answered. "Just
wanted to see how fast I could go. "
” Do you realize you were going 30 miles an hour
in a 20 mile zone?* the police said. "Also, you
realize you ran a red light?"
My friend nodded in assent.
"Where did you get the bike?" the police said.
" It belongs to my son, " he answered. There was
a long pause and then my friend asked, "You going
to give me a ticket for speeding?"
'pNo," the police said.
"Going to give me a ticket for running a red
light?”
"No."
"Then why did you stop me?"
"Because, " the police said, "you looked like
someone who had just stolen a bike. ”

AN APPOINTMENT

HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP
OPEN LETTER
from GEORGE H. VOGT
Dear friends,
Prior to the death of our
late President John F. Kennedy,
the American funeral tradition
was being questioned. The
President's tragic death
suddenly brought home to our
entire nation the sense of
bereavement
the need to
mourn - the need for lying in
state, for ritual, for pro
cession, as a catharsis for
our grief. The need for the
American funeral tradition is
now better understood.
Respectfully,

If America hired people for the job, it would take the
largest sort of army to keep our country free of litter.
But there’s no need to hire anyone. It’s a job we can
do for ourselves. All of us. Every family that spreads a
picnic lunch. Every boatman who cruises the lakes and
waterways Every motorist who uses our roads and
highways.
It is the pleasure of the U. S. Brewers Association
each year to give its fullest support to the Keep America
Beautiful Campaign. Remember: Every Litter Bit Hurts.
This is our land. Let’s treat it right.

WITH
THE TOWNSHIP OF VERMONTVILLE ORDAINS:
Willie Imudluk, who recently visited Michigan, really Ilves on
the edge of the Arctic. Even though his- family enjoys the
convenience of a modem refrigerator, Willie nearly flipped
his harpoon when he discovered the new frost-free model
with the automatic ice maker. We know you will, too. The
convenience of no more Ice tray filling and spilling — the
luxury of a never-ending supply of ice cubes, every man will
appreciate. And what wcman wouldn't like to forget that
dreaded defrosting chore — the chopping, slopping and
mopping — with a refrigerator that defrosts itself automat
ically? See the new frost-free refrigerator with the automatic
ice maker today. You’ll agree with Willie — it'll fantastic!

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, July 17, 1969
�Voters asked to approve
Maple Valley teachers
offered higher salaries
millage for Fire Station
The salary schedule for teachers in the Maple Val
ley School district will start at higher amounts than
have ever been paid before by this district. Thus the
district should be able to hire competent teachers
and hold the better ones who might be inclined to
change schools because of higher wages.
The starting wage last year for a non-degree
teacher with no experience was $5, 600. This year
it is $6,100 or an increase of $500. The steps of in
crease up to 11 years-of experience jump from
$7/767. 50 last year to $8, 692. '50 for this year.
Teachers holding a bachelor’s degree last year
started (with no experience) at $6, 500. This year
they will be paid $7, 000. The graduated scale of
the'same number of years’ experience -- 11 yearsshows top salary last year to be $9,050. 00 while
this year it has been raised to $9. 975. 00.
Last year salaries for teachers holding a bachelor
degree, plus 20 semester hours on an approved de
gree completion and maintaining a grade level
meeting graduate requirements toward completion
of the degree received a starting wage (with no pre
vious experience) were paid $6, 700. 00 while this
year they will receive $7, 200.00. For those with 11
years of experience, last year’s salary was $9,359.12
while this year the salary has increased to $10, 260.00.
Starting salary for a teacher holding a master’s
degree (with no teaching experience) last year was
$6, 900. 00 and this year it will be $7, 400. 00. I n
the graduating steps up to 11 years, last year the
top salary in this division was $9, 620. 00 while this
year it will be $10, 545. 00.
In addition insurance will be paid in an amount
not to exceed'$120 per school year, and each teach
er may select this insurance in one of three areas,
hospitalization, life insurance or salary protection.
Voters of Castleton and Maple Grove Townships
will have the opportunity on Tuesday, August 5, to
approve two mills for five years for the purpose of
constructing a new fire and ambulance station.
The millage will provide approximately $75, 000
for the building, which will be as economical and
plain in structure as is practical.
If the proposal is approved the townships would
immediately take steps to borrow money for the
needed building on anticipated revenue.
The present building, constructed before the turn
of the century, is no longer adequate and docs not
meet present day needs. A fire, many years ago,
weakened the structure, and it is too small for mod
ern equipment. Presently the fire fighting equip
ment is housed therein while the ambulance is stor
ed in the blacksmith shop to the north.

If you give up cigarettes,
you might gain a few pounds.
(And also a few years.)
The plain, unfiltered fact is that people who
smoke cigarettes get lung cancer a lot more
frequently than nonsmokers.
And lung cancer can finish you.
Before your time.
We’d rather have you stay alive and in good
health.
Because even if you do gain a few pounds,
you'll have the time to take them off.

By Sunday, July 20, all of uie big steam engines
participating in tne annual Michigan Steam Engine
and Thresher's Club reunion were stationed at Bar
ry's Resort. Testing by state men will then take
place, and everything will be in readiness for the

There will be some steam engines, large and
small, along with a large number of gas tractors
and stationary engines. The steam engines will furn
ish power for demonstrations of threshing as it was
done soon after the turn of the century, Baling, saw
ing, and to operate a shingle mill and veneer ma
chine.
Two parades will take place daily, at 9:30 a. m.
and 1:30 p. m. There will be prony brake and Baker
fan tests, and the big engines will compete in pull

This year for the first time there will be helicop
ter rides on Sunday, and Saturday evening there
will be old time squa.'e dance music. Too, there

TO THE VOTERS OF CASTLETON AND MAPLE
GROVE TOWNSHIPS
In 1947 the townships of Castleton and
Maple
Grove and the Village of Nashville entered into a
mutual agreement to equip, maintain and operate
what was then the Nashville Fire Department, loca
ted in the present fire station.
Over the years the department has increased and
upgraded the equipment and staffed it with well
trained firemen and the townships can proudly say
it is one of the best rural departments anywhere.
However, the fire station, an old wood
frame
building, built before the turn of the century, is no
longer safe or adequate to house this fine equipment.
The trucks are longer and wider and there is hardly
room to squeeze the trucks in.
A fire in the upper part of the structure many
years ago weakened the building and the beams are
sagging to an unsafe point; also, the electrical wir
ing and the heating are no longer safe.
In 1968 the department organized the ambulance
service, a vital service to the community. This is
also operated by members of the Fire Department.
To house the ambulance the bld blacksmith shop ad
jacent to the north of the fire Station was purchased.
If both buildings are removed1 from the lot it
would give ample space to erect a building suitable
for both fire and ambulance services.
For the past five yean taxpayen have been pay
ing one mill with which the department purchased
two new fire trucks and other equipment to bring
the equipment up to date and underwriter approval.
This one mill has expired and by voting two mills
now, taxpayen would be paying only one mill more
than they have been for the last five years. On Au
gust 5th voters of Castleton and Maple Grove Town
snips are being asked to approve a tax levy of two
mills for five years to build a fire and ambulance
station and some built-in installations, such as a
hose dryer and storage racks.
The two mills would amount to about seventy
eight thousand dollan, and with today's costs and
some common sense, will build a building and e
quip it. The size would be fifty-five feet wine and
seventy-six feet long, of cement block construc
tion and steel suspended roof, and adequate for
many yean to come.
The good rating of the fire department helps to
hold down the insurance rates in the community.
Your firemen and ambulance drivers are dedica
ted men of this community who volunteer their E
time to train and operate these services, day or
night, rain or snow, zero
ninety degrees in the
shade, they respond to the call at once.
:nt is sure the voters Of
The department
df this comc—
munity will want to continue these services.
Each citizen is invited to visit the present fire
station and look it over, then be the judge. Vote
YES August 6th election.

will be a steamboat available for cruising the Thom
apple River.

and the Emmett Rescue Squad will provide lunches
and dinners on the grounds.

Rives Junction; vice president. Ward Woodmansee
of Hastings, and secretary-treasurer, Carl Tuttle of
Howell. Serving on the board of directors are Clif
ford Peterson of Grass Lake, Robert Cappon of Wood
land and Lynn Mix of Hastings,
Each year the show attracts thousands of persons
who enjoy watching the old big engines kick up
their heels in a variety of performances.

12-horsepower Case and a 65 HP Case; Ralph Wood
mansee of Battle Creek; a 16 HP Rumley and 20 HP

Lynn's engine is the only one to be driven into tne
park under its own power. He left Hastings Sunday
Sunday morning July 20 at 9 a. m. and should have
arrived at the resort, some six miles distance, in a
bout 2 1/2 hours. Dave Barry is the owner of
the
steam boat which will be in operation on Thornap
ple River.

Engine and Thresher's Club held a business meeting
and carry-in dinner at the resort to make final plans
for the coming celebration.
On Wednesday of this week, all of the steam en
gines were state inspected in a water test. This is
required before any steam engine can be fired.
There was a potluck in the evening for members

Annual picnic planned
The annual Chamber of Commerce and Camp
Thomapple picnic will be held on Saturday, July
26 at 1Jp. m.
The Chamber of Commerce is asked to furnish
dessert and other dish and take own table service.
The drink will be furnished.
Open House planned to
tell about water tower needs
The Nashville Village Council Thursday evening
heard the report of Police Committee chairman, Ben
Kenyon report on the need for either repairing the
1967 police cruiser, or purchasing a new one. Anestimate of the repair costs will be given at the July
24 meeting. In all probability the council will seek
bids on a new car at the same time.
In order to familiarize Nashville residents of the
operation of the pumping station and the sewage dis
posal plants. Village President Harold Christensen
has suggested that during the week of August 10 to
17 open bouse be held at both places.
This particular week has been designated state
wide as "Willing Water" week, the symbol of pub
lic water service. During open bouse Nashville visi
tors will also be informed of some of the problems
facing the council regarding the need for jutting up
a new water tower. Tne present tower, of 1887 vin
tage, holds only 65,000 gallons of water, and one
that holds 200, 000 gallons is actually needed. Water
pressure in the outskirts of the village is practically
nil, and any extension of lines for new customers is
impossible. Hours for the open house will be an
nounced later.
Letters of appreciation from Jerry Johnson, parade
chairman from the Maple Valley Jaycees, and from
Mrs, Nelson Brumm, secretary of the Centennial
Committee, were read thanking the council for their
cooperation and assistance during the Centennial fes
tivities.
In the report of Acting Police Chief Kendall Wil
cox , he stated that the police cruiser had traveled
1,413 miles since the last council meeting, and had
used 145. 6 gallons of gasoline. One accident had
been investigated, and arrests had been made for a
minor in possession and drinking on a public street;
for disorderly conduct; reckless driving, and one on
a felony warrant for another county. There had been
one transport to the Kalamazoo State Hospital, and
several moving and non-moving traffic tickets have
been issued. Officer Wilcox also extended thanks to
the Keystone Kops for their traffic assistance during
the Centennial.
Since the last council meeting the trustees have
had a chance to review in detail the quarterly finan
cial report. For the most part they were pleased with
the previous quarter when the village was low in fi
nances.
In other action the council approved payment of
the bills, and voted to have the Chamberof Com
merce sign prepared for the Centennial parade to be
placed In Central Park on Main Street.

We have lived through another long, eventful and
unusual weekend. Most of the really earthshaking
and important things that have happened to this earth
have happened within the lifetime of most of us.
I can remember when much of the heavy delivery
work was done with horses and wagons. I can remem
ber when milk was delivered from a horse drawn wa
gon. It was not so long ago when icemen still drove
horses and delivered ice to homes. The housewife
would hang a card in the window telling the man
how much ice she wanted today.
I can remember when people thought it was a
great thing that mail could be carried by airplanes
and I can remember when it was a big deal to fly
from Detroit to Chicago on an old Ford Trl-Motor
Or to fly to Cleveland in a Gruman which took off
from the water of the Detroit River and landed o n
the water of the lakefront at Cleveland.
Now, this weekend we have watched a man put
foot on the moon and we have watched men as they
took samples of rocks from the moon to bring back
to earth.
This has been a big weekend for most of us who
sat up into the wee, small hours to watch and to lis
ten to the progress of the'moon walk.
This has to go down as one of the most important
events in the history of man. Now, we are no long
er bound to the earth but can take off for some plan
et if things don't go to our liking here.
Probably within the lifetime of some of us now
men will take off for a journey to places we have
never heard of and perhaps new colonies of earth peo
ple will be established.
The whole moon walk was so much like a science
fiction movie, so much like Buck Rogers, that I kept
expecting some giant creature to appear over the hor
izon and attempt to eat the earthlings who had in
vaded his territory.
We have lived through some wonderful and terrible
weekends lately, but this was the most wonderful of
alL This weekend, truly marks a turning point in the
history of man.
Maple Grove
A year ago only a handful of the hardy—fool
hardy was a more frequently employed term--dared
praise Sen. Robert P. Griffin for opposing the pro
posed elevation of the Supreme Court Justice Abe
Fortas to chief justice.
Now Fortas no longer sits on the nation's highest
tribunal; and Griffin is being talked about in much
more glowing terms.
The junior senator from Michigan moved to the
Senate force after Fortas tendered his resignation
for his connections with the family foundation of
ar. imprisoned financier.
Griffin, 45, a University of Michigan Law School
product, triggered the Fortas controversy last sum
mer when he vowed to lead a filibuster against
Senate confirmation as chief justice. He described
Fortas as a "crony" of then President Lyndon B.
Johnson.
Scores of congressional skeptics, many from his
own party, warned Griffin he was fighting a losing
battle. He persisted nonetheless, and in the end
won when Johnson withdrew the Fortas nomination.
During the Senate debate, Griffin predicted that
forces blocking the nomination had uncovered
"only a comer of an iceberg." Recent disclosures
linking Fortas with Louis F. Wolfson, a convicted
stock manipulator, led to his resignation as an
associate justice.
The downfall of Fortas had its beginning in
June, 1968, when Griffin was flying nack to Wash
ington from Detroit. He spotted a brief newspaper
item saying Chief Justice Earl Warren might retire
shortly from the Supreme Court in hopes of having
a voice in picking his successor. The story said
Warren doubted he would have such a voice if
Richard M. Nixon, his old political rival, were
elected president.
Although Griffin normally isn't regarded as a
highly partisan senator, the story offended his
GOP loyalties. There also were some who thought
Griffin, a freshman seeking to make his mark tn
the Senate, saw a chance toexploit the unpopu
larity of Johnson.
Whatever the reason, Griffin asked his staff the
next day to prepare a brief statement for him. On
June 21, taking note of further rumors that Warren
was resigning, Griffin arose in the Senate and said:
"... I want to indicate emphatically, as one
U. S. Senator, that I shall not vote to confirm an
appointment of the next chief justice by a 'lame
duck' president. "
■
The remark struck a responsive chord with Sen.
George Murphy, R-Calif,, and some other Repub
licans. Thqt afternoon Griffin and Murphy put
together a petition which they circulated among
their GOP colleagues asking them to pledge them
selves to oppose any Johnson Supreme Court nom
inee regardless of who he was. They collected
almost a dozen signatures before the day was over.
On June 26 the White House officially announced
Warren’s resignation. Simultaneously, the President
nominated Fortas as chief justice and a close Texas
friend, Federal Judge Homer Thornberry, to succeed
Fortas as associate justice.
Griffin immediately registered his objections and
because of his pioneering remarks the few days
earlier he promptly became the de facto leaner
of the opposition to Fortas and Thomberry.
It was a lonely band at the outset. At the time,
even Griffin privately doubted he had a chance
of blocking the nominations. In retrospect, he
feels he wouldn't have succeeded had not both
Fortas and Thornberry been extremely close friends
of Johnson for many years.
But the young senator was getting used to leading
"impossible campaigns. "
When he was a 145-pounder in Dearborn Fordson
High School, he was told he was too small to play
guard on the varsity football team. But he ignored
tne advice and became a star lineman.
In 1956, as a budding lawyer in Traverse City,
he was warned that he had no chance of unseating
incumbent Rep. Ruth Thompson, who had served
in Congress for three years. But Griffin ignored
the advice, won the primary, and went ahead to
get elected to the House.
Three terms later he again ignored the skeptics
and got through Congress the Landrum-Griffin
labor law. Griffin won election to the Senate in
1966, filling the seat of the late Sen. Patrick
McNamara, a Democrat.

Dear friends,
Prior to the death of our
late President John F. Kennedy
the American funeral tradition
was being questioned. The
President's tragic death
suddenly brought home to our
entire nation the sense of
bereavement - the need to
mourn - the need for lying in
state, for ritual, for pro
cession, as a catharsis for
our grief. The need for the
American funeral tradition is
now betfer understood.
Respectfully,
&

Mrs. Mayford Householder
Mrs. Venu E. (Roach) Householder, 54, of 455 W.
Shepherd St., Charlotte died last Wednesday in a
Charlotte hospitaL
Born in Vermontville, Mrs. Householder had lived
all her life in Eaton County. She was a member of
the auxiliary to the American Legion.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by son^
Gerald Householder of Grand Rapids, William of
Baldwin Park, Calif., and Harvey of Baltimore, Md.
her father, James Roach of Hastings;-and brothers,
James Roach of Nashville, Jesse of Battle Creek and
LeRoy of Hastings.
Locals
Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Perry called on Mr. and M rs.
Howard Boyd of Charlotte Thursday afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Stebleton of Battle Creek and
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tobias of Hastings were Satur
day supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. j. Perry.
There was good attendance at the Dull reunion at
Lake Odessa Sunday. All enjoyed a fine dinner, and
visiting. Relatives were from winchester, Indiana,
Bellevue, Delton, Vermontville and Nashville and
all enjoyed the fine dinner and day. Forty seven
were present.
Mt and Mrs. Hale Sackett «pent Friday in Lansing
with Mr. and Mrs. Dick Campbell and son.
New Arrival
to support the August millage vote of 2 mills for the
purpose of construction of a new fire house. The support was based on these three basic points.
’
1. Millage. This will only be a one mill increase
of the taxpayers present taxes. A one mill levy for
fire equipment expires this year.
2. Term of Millage. The millage will be for a 5-r
year period. The building will not be obsolete at
the expiration of the millage.
3. Buildings. The building is a simple cement
block structure with space for future expansion and
it will not exceed the amount raised by the millage.
The old buildings will be razed and the new bouse
will be constructed on existing property. A 2-mill
increase will be two dollars for every thousand-dollars of property evaluation. The average taxpayer
will pay about $10 .a year for the five years or about
$50 over the five years for a new fire house. All
citizens 65 and over will not be taxed for this im
provement.
The Jaycees feel this is a very needed and worth
while community improvement and the expenses
have been held to a minimum.
If any interested citizens have any questions,
please feel free to contact any Jaycee or fireboard
member.

These mosquitoes may migrate 5 to 10
the breeding source to get to you.
In addition to this, we have found thousands of
containers that hold water, in backyards and alleys,
within die community. Some easily overlooked i
tems as a wheelbarrow half-filled with water, plas
tic playpools, washtubs, oil drums or cans, omamental vases and flower pots, - in fact, many, man
y kinds of contained that are capable of holding wa
ter after a shower or rain or after you water your
lawn. These, too, produce mosquitoes.
One mosquito may lay several hundred eggs at a
time on the' water surfaces referred to above, or, on
mud, and may repeat this procedure several times
each year. The eggs hatch, develop into larvae or
wiggles in the water, and finally, there emerges the
adult mosquito fully equipped to inflict her annoy- .
ing bites on you.
Only organized mosquito abatement districts can
successfully locate and destroy mosquito wiggles in
sources that can be bandied by individuals - the ponds,
marshes, etc. that require draglines, airplanes, ot
other special equipment for drainage and large area
chemical controL However, YOU can prevent mos
quito breeding on your property. This will help not
only you but your neighbors too!
Mosquito abatement is a community problem don't raise these pests on your own property.
Whenever necessary and in areas where you can
spray your property without damaging others proper
ty, spray grass and low shrubs with Malathion + meth
oxy cnlor (1^1%). Apply pyrethrum or Abat to wa
ter to kill the wigglers. If a fog is to be used to kill
adult mosquitoes, use a combination of malathion +
Lethane 384 or a ready to use Lethane 384 + methox
ychlor solution. Your gasoline lawn mower may be
adapted for fogging.
REMEMBER -- You may only achieve a few hours
of relief when treating your yard. Longer relief is
possible through organized mosquito abatement dis
tricts designed to attack the pest at the source.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1969
NUMBER 10
Vote August 5th for new fire barn
Only a few days remain before voters of Castle
ton and Maple Grove Townships will go to the polls
to approve two mills for five yean for a new build
ing to house the fire fighting equipment and the
ambulance. The Village of Nashville lies within
these two townships.
Voters in Castleton Township will vote at the
Township hall on Nashville's Main Street, and Ma
ple Grove electors will cast their ballot at the Town
ship hall in Maple Grove Township.
Back in 1947 the three units. Maple Grove, Cas
tleton and Nashville, merged to form a single unit.
The Fire Bdard was made up of the supervisor and
clerk from each township, and two representatives
from the Nashville Village Council. Presently Cecil
Barrett is chairman of the board which meets once
each month. Also in attendance at these meetings
are representatives from-the fire department.
Since the re-organization of these three units new
equipment has been purchased, and the volunteer
fire department is one of the best in the area.
The firemen also operate the ambulance service,
and in 1968 the old blacksmith shop adjacent to the
fire station was purchased to house the ambulance.
The approval of two mills for five years would
mean approximately $78, 000 which would be used
to construct a new building. This would be built on
the present site of the old tire bam and the black
smith shop.
To each taxpayer, voting for a mill means a d d ing $1. 00 per thousands—or $2.00 for the two
mills-—per year. The one mill which they have
been paying over the past five-year period expired
last year, so actually the new tax would be an ad
dition of only one mill over last year.
Plans for the new building call for a structure 55
feet wide and 76 feet long to be built of cement
blocks and steel suspended roof. Construction could
beginsoon as approval it given, because the
townships could borrow on anticipated taxes. The
Fire Board does not anticipate the need for any new
fire fighting equipment. The last fire truck was pur
chased in 1967.
Teenagers given permission
to hold street dance
The Nashville village council Thursday evening
voted to accept bids on a new police cruiser. The
police committee, headed by Ben Kenyon, and the
police officers will designate specifications for the
cruiser-package before seeking bids. The bids will
be opened at the Thursday, August 14, meeting.
■«
Permission was granted a group ot teenagers to
hold a street dance on Maple Street Saturday eve
ning, August 2, providing there is proper supervision
and the youngsters handle all cleanup detail follow
ing the dance.
The resignation of James L. Erwin, director of
Public Works, was accepted with regrets. Erwin has
served the village for the past five yean. He is re
signing to accept a teaching position in the northern
part of Louisiana. He has been working over the past
several years to earn his degree before entering the
teaching profession,
Village president Harold Christiansen will an
nounce the bouts for die open house at the pump
bouse and sewage disposal plant for some time dur
ing die week of August 10 - 17. This will enable
residents to learn more about the work of these d e -
A quarterly report of the Lakeview Cemetery
Board, prepared by the new treasurer, William Suntken, was read by the clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgelL
There is a balance of $1,184. 62 in the cemetery
treasury. The cemetery board is under the jurisdic
tion ofthe council, but works as an independent unit.
New cards are to be issued in August for local res

Annual Indian gathering
planned at Charlton Park
*
- Since 1934, historic Indian Landing in Charlton
Park has been the scene of an annual Indian gather
ing of one sort or another which gradually evolved
into what today is known as the Michigan Indian
Homecoming Pow Wow. This annual affair draws In
dians from a number of states and visitors from all
over. The Pow Wow itself is simply a gathering o f<
Indians for social and business reasons. However,what
draws the thousands of visitors is the dance presenta
tions given as part of the weekend. These (fences and
curemonies by costumed performers are scheduled for
2 and 8 p. m. on Saturday the 9th of August and for
2 p. m. on Sunday, August 10.
■
Besides the scheduled dances, there will be booths
demonstrating and selling Indian hand craft items.
This coupled with the costumed performers, dance
and costume judging and general atmosphere of the
afternoon make for an enjoyable two days for Indians,
photographers and visitor alike.
The final attraction is the park itself with its rou
tine attractions. There is the renovated and reopened
Barry County Museum, the pony cart tours of the park
and the evening free film series each Friday, Satur
day and Sunday, not to mention picnics, fishing and
swimming on 1 1/2 miles of the Thornapple.
.
Jaycees urge support
for fire barn millage
On Wednesday, July 23, the Maple Valley Jaycees
voted to support the August millage vote or 2 mills for
the purpose of construction of a new fire house. The
support was based on these three basic points.
1. Millage. This will only be a one mill increase
of the taxpayers present taxes. A one mill levy for *
fire equipment expires this year.
2. Term of Millage. The millage will be for a 5
year period. The building will not be obsolete at
the expiration of the millage.
■ 3. Buildings. The building is a simple cement
block structure with space for future expansion and
it will not exceed the amount raised by the millage.
The old buildings will be razed and the new house
will be constructed on existing property. A 2-mill
increase will be two dollars for every thousand dol
lars of property evaluation. The average taxpayer
will pay about $10 a year for the five yean or about
$50 over the five years tor a new fire bouse. For all
citizens 65 and over, this will be included in Sen
jot Citizen tax exemption.
The Jaycees feel this is a very needed and worth
while community improvement and the expenses

TO THE VOTERS OF CASTLETON AND MAPLE
GROVE TOWNSHIPS
In 1947 the townships of Castleton and
Maple
Grove and the Village of Nashville entered into a
mutual agreement to eqrfip, maintain and operate
what was then the Nashville Fire Department, loca
ted in the present fire station.
c
Over the years the department has increased and
upgraded the equipment and staffed it with well
tramed firemen and the townships can proudly say
it is one of the best rural departments anywhere.
However, the fire station, an old wood
frame
building, built before the turn of the century, is no
longer safe or adequate to house this fine equipment.
The trucks are longer and wider and there is hardly
room to squeeze the trucks in.
A fire in the upper part of the structure many
years ago weakened the building and the beams are
sagging to an unsafe point; also, the electrical wir
ing and the heating are no longer safe.
In 1968 the department organized the ambulance
service, a vital service to the community. This is
also operated by members of the Fire Department.
To house the ambulance the old blacksmith shop ad
jacent to the north of the fire station was purchased.
If both buildings are removed from the lot it
would give ample space to erect a building suitable
for both fire and ambulance services.
For the past five years taxpayers have been pay
ing one mill with which the department purchased
two new fixe trucks and other equipment to bring
the equipment up to date and underwriter approvaL
This one mill has expired and by voting two mills
now, taxpayers would be paying only one mill more
than they have been for the last five years. On Au§ust 5th voters of Castleton and Maple Grovp Town
tips are being asked to approve a tax levy of two
mills for five years to build a firq and ambulance
station and some built-in installations, such as a
hose dryer and storage racks.
The two mills would amount to about seventy
eight thousand dollars, and with today's costs and
some common sense, will build a building and e
quip it. The size would be fifty-five feet wide and
seventy-six feet long, of cement block construc
tion and steel suspended roof, and adequate for
many years to come.
bold down the insurance rates in the community.
Your firemen and ambulance drivers are dedica
ted men of this community who volunteer their
time to train and operate these services, day or
night, rain or snow, zero or ninety degrees in the
shade, they respond to the call at once.
“ ' “ rtment is sure the voters of this c c mwant to continue these services.

Pictured here is a veneer machine which b owned
by Melvin Lugten of Hamilton.
The big steam engines of yesteryear huffed and
puffed, tooted and smoked at Barry's Resort thb past
weekend, as members of the Michigan Steam En
gine and Thresher's Club thrilled the huge crowd who
gathered to bask in the memories of the early 1900S.
Meanwhile some 2P0 big and small antique gas
tractors and gas stationary engines held the atten
tion of the young and old — men, women and chil
dren — reviving once again the dignity of a glor
ious past.
The big giants demonstrated their versatility in
providing the power for old fashioned threshing and
sawmilling, and vied against each other at getting
the most horsepower out of the Prony brake tests.
There were also demonstrations of veneer making
and shingle making just as it was done in the olden
days.
And for fun the big steam engines climbed a 30degree ramp, balanced on a teeter-totter, were
used to "run the bases" in baseball games, and were
used in pulling contests.
While the youngsters looked on in awe, the old
sters reminbced of the old days when they followed
the threshing gangs, or worked in a sawmill.
Not toe many are left who belonged to a thresh
ing gang, but there were a few who recalled the
days when they used to move from farm to farm,
threshing the wheat and baling hay for their neigh
bors. Starting early in the morning, one man re
called, the steam engines were made ready for the
day. When the steam was up,, the whbtle would
blow, making white puffs of smoke in the sky, and
the men would head out to the fields to work long,
hard hours.
Wages weren't much in those days, but the mem
ories of the good meak — tables laden with huge
platters of country-fried chicken, bbcuits and gra
vy and homemake pies provided by the housewiveswere happy ones. These men also remembered the
dirt, sweat, sleeping in the bam nights, all the oth
er hardships, but despite all thb, some still wbhed
for the "good old days" when the "world seemed
bright. "
Among those dbplaying old gas engines at the
show was Leo W. Haynes of Mason. He owns sever
al, and had five on display, three of which he had
restored himself. Probably his favorite is an old
one-horse Mogul of 1906 vintage. Thb is one oftbe
oldest and rarest such engines in the state. He has
taken it to shows all over Michigan, Ohio, and In
diana, and thb week has it on display at the Ing
ham County fair. Thb engine "hadn't run for 40
years" but fie repaired it, painted it, and replaced
some of the parts and now it "runs like a top." He
also had on dbplay a Root & Vandervort which was
made before 1912, a three-hone John Deere which
came from Grand Ledge area and hadn't been in op
eration in some 20 years; a three-hone Hercules
v/hich was dug out of a swamp near Alpena and was
"rusty and in oad condition. " and a 1 1/2-horse
power John Deere which he put into running con dition.
Although Mr. Haynes has had an interest in en
gines "since he was a kid" he never had time to
take them up as a hobby until about twd yean ago
when hb health started to fail him and he had to
give up hb work as a painter and decorator for 43
years.
Some of the engines at the show were small e
nough to hold in one's hand. They have been care
fully built to scale, and the precision that has gone
into them b almost unbelieveable.
Too, the thousands and thousands of dollars that
have been spent on the big "iron men" as well as
the smaller engines b astounding. Many of these
antiques sell for much more than the original cost.
The steam show b a dirty place to vbu, and it's
also noisy. -The smoke, soot, slapping of the big
belts, tooting of whbtles, and the straw from the
blower pipe of the threshing operation which floats
down into the hab of the spectators. But there b a
fascination for persons from all walks of life, and
the annual show will continue as long as the oldengines are able to function -- and it seems they will
go on forever.
Leo Haynes b pictured with a gas engine.
The Maple VaUey News. Nashville. Michigan, Thursday, July 31. 1969
&
On Tuesday, August 5th, the voters in Castleton
and Maple Grove Townships will have an opportun
ity to go to the polls and express their desires in re
tard to much-needed new fire housing. Articles
ringing out the answers to questions regarding the
cost of thb new building have been printed in our
newspaper. There are additional articles thb week
and also an architect's drawing of the proposed build
ing. It would be wise if each voter would review
very carefully these articles.
Thb column of the newspaper has been used many
times to offer recognition and encouragement to the
members of the Volunteer Fue Department They
are, indeed, a group of dedicated and well- trained
men. The good rating of thb particular fire depart
. meet helps to hold down the insurance rates for the
entire community. During the recent change in the
ambulance service, these same men got together
and provided excellent coverage in this area for
those needing ambulance service.
It appears too frequently a vote for millage gets
an immediate negative response from the voter. Un
fortunately many never take the time to investigate
and determine just what the additional millage
means to their particular tax. The millage v<xe at
thb election i: far 2 milk for five years. Thb means
an additional $1 per thousand per mill for each year.
The one mill which has been paid over the past fiveyear period has expired so actually thb 2-mill vote
would be paying only 1 mill more than we have been
paying over thb period.
The 2-mill for 5 years would provide approximate
ly $78, 000 which would be used to construct the
building and equip it.
Fire thief Forrest Babcock has stated that the fue
bam will be open on Monday and Tuesday so those
who wfah to, may go in and look around the build
ing. He also said that transportation would be pro
vided if needed for those wishing to go to the polk
on Tuesday. The following numbers may be called
and transportation will be fumbhed: 852-9058; 852-

Tom and Carma got in late Sunday night
and will be around tot a couple of weeks. .
Last Saturday night we went out to Camp
Thornapple to the picnic. This has become
an annual affait and every time we go out
it becomes more evident why the Camp
has been a real success. The place is really
beautiful, well cared for; the beach is
much improved and everyone seems happy
as can be.
Got this rather interesting quote from the
American National Cattlemen Association
for you Beef Eaters - Although the average
take-home pay has increased 1507° in the
past 20 years, today's consumers use only
about 2. 37> of this income to buy beef com
pared with 3.3% 20 years ago.

That depends a lot on your sense of humor. If splashing
through the house to answer a telephone leaves you a
little cold, then perhaps there is nothing funny about an
extension telephone in the bathroom or dressing room.
Extension telephones save steps and let you do your
telephoning from where you are.
Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your
telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month
(plus tax) you can have an ex
tension telephone in any funny Michigan Bell (

Nashville dump hours
State Representative Stanley M. Powell of Ionia
had cause to be especially happy when the above
picture was snapped by an alert photographer in the
office of Governor William G. Milliken in the
State Capitol. The Governor had just signed into
law H. 2200, the bill to provide for reflectorized
license plates for Michigan motor vehicles, begin
ning with those issued for 1971.
Representative Powell had taken a leading role in
promoting this legislation during the past three years.
It had been endorsed and supported by more than 3&
statewide civic, highway safety and law enforce
ment organizations. Governor Milliken had just
presented Representative Powell with a specially
autographed copy of this new law when the picture
was taken.

Annual Indian gathering
planned at Charlton Park
Since 1934, historic Indian Landing in Charlton
Park has been the scene of an annual Indian gather
ing of one sort or another which gradually evolved
into what today is known as the Michigan Indian
Homecoming Pow Wow. This annual affair draws In
dians from a number of states and visitors from all
over. The Pow Wow itself is simply a gathering of
Indians for social and business reasons. However.what
draws the thousands of visitors is the dance presenta
tions given as part of the weekend. These dances and
ceremonies by costumed performers are scheduled for
2 and 8 p. m. on Saturday the 9th of August and for
2 p. m. on Sunday, August 10.
Besides the scheduled dances, there will be booths
demonstrating and selling Indian hand craft items.
This coupled with the costumed performers, dance
and costume judging and general atmosphere of the
afternoon make tor an enjoyable two days for Indians,
photographers and visitors alike.
The final attraction is the park itself with its rou
tine attractions. There is the renovated and reopened
Barry County Museum, the pony cart tours of the park
and the evening free film series each Friday, Satur
day and Sunday, not to mention picnics, fishing and
swimming on 1 1/2 miles of the Thornapple.

WHEREAS, the city of Nashville is deeply aware

comfort, and standard of living upon an abund
ant supply of safe, high- quality water; and
WHEREAS, the future economic and social
growth of this community is directly related to
the availability of dependable supplies of good
water; and
WHEREAS, the American Water Works Associa
tion, which is dedicated to advancing the know
ledge of design, operation, and management of
water utilities throughout the United States and
Canada, has asked that a special period be de
signated during which each water utility can
bring its message to the people; and
WHEREAS, WILLING WATER, the symbol of pub
lic water service, is present to help Municipal
Water Works tell the people of our city about
the vital role played by this utility; and
WHEREAS, it is equally important that the peo
ple of this community become aware of the
needs of the Municipal Water Works and the
tasks that face it in the future; and
WHEREAS, the American Waterworks Associa
tion has designated the week of August 10 to Au
gust 16 as a period during which special atten
tion should be focused on the water utilities of
the United States and Canada;
NOW, therefore, I, Harold Christiansen, presi
dent of Nashville, do hereby proclaim the week
of August 10 as
.

tributions, the services, and the future needs of
the Municipal Water Works.
Village president Harold Christiansen and chairman of the Parks
Committee, Ben Kenyon, check the crumbling condition of the base
of the water tower in Putnam Park. Kenyon could easily put the stick
into the two-inch space where the base has slid away from the tower.
Christiansen checks the cracks in the base, i.hich is in serious con- <
dition.

It is indeed an ill wind that do<_s not blow some
good. When a bunch of out-of-towners missed a
turn somewhere, went down tuc sidewalk and wound
up knocking the front and a good part of rtu side off
the Flea Market it looked like no good could con.e
of such actions. Now the Flea Market is all dolled
up with a new front and it improves the looks of the
town more tuan somewhat.
Many of the kids in town tnought there was going
to be a street dance here last Saturday evening. The
reason there was no dance was a bit of a lack of
communication. It seems the kids went to the coun
cil and asked permission for the dance. The council
said it would be great and the kids just went ahead
with plans for the dance without finding out anytliing
further or making any nangements with the village.
They planned the dance for a time when one of the
policemen would be off duty and out of town and
they also made plans to charge for the dance. The
thing did not come off for this reason. The council
by johu bon/'ll ton
was of tin- opinion tnat it would be difficult tocnargc
admission for anything on the public street and tney
also tliougnt titvte mould be more planning and some
provision for supervision. Tlie kids who planned the
original dance say they intend to make plans for anotlier one witnin the next couple of weeks. The
Village Council is all in favor of this. The kids will
need the help of parents for the supervision. Many
liave already volunteered.

Editor, The Nashvilje News
Nashville, Michigan
Dear Sir;
My thoughts about the Nashville News go back to
a grand gentleman named Len Feighner, and the
days when I summered in Nashville. As the Editor
and Publisher of the News, Len influenced my to the
extent that many years later I elected Journalism as
my college major.
Although my journalistic career is many years be
hind me, and thankfully never did include writing
obituaries, the enclosed piece will represent a be
lated return to the fourth estate.
I have no particular pride of authorship, but I felt
an urge to put thestory on paper. Do with it as you
see fit. Should you elect to use it in any form, I
would appreciate receiving a marked copy.
Yours very truly,
Ralph E. Kauffman
Obituary
Minta Bergman White came home to Nashville
last Saturday.
It was a nice day for a homecoming... sunny,
mild, entirely in keeping with Mima’s way of life.
It wasn't an exciting homecoming, but Minta
hadn't been an exciting sort of person for a good
many years.
Not many Nashville residents were aware of her
homecoming, because most of those who knew her
had already moved to Lakeview Cemetery. A f e w
residents glanced around when the gleaming black
Cadillac purred past, then returned to their activi
ties.
Those in the small group which accompanied Min
ta on this last Nashville journey were no strangers to
Nashville. Keith and Margaret Nelson, whose fath
er, Kent, had worked for years at the Farmers and
Merchants Bank, whose mother, Dora, a cousin of
Minta, had sung in the Methodist choir for years.
Vernon Navue and Esther Hager Hicks, whose par
ents and grandparents all figured in the Nashville
scene of earlier days. Mima's nephew, Ralph Kauff
man and his wife Helen, and their children, Kim
and Ralph III, Minta' grandniece and grandnephew.
Past the site of the now vanished old Nashville
High School, where Mima numbered among the
small 1897 graduating class... by the sagging r e mains of the Lentz Table Company... up the narrow
gravel road to Lakeview, the ride must have been
a familiar one to Mima.
There is an orderly dignity about Lakeview miss
ing from many larger cemeteries. In the green qui
et of these friendly surroundings, Mima was laid to
rest alongside the body of her infant son and her
mother and father, Cora and Jasper Bergman. In
keeping with Mima's explicit instructions, the
graveside service was simple, sincere... and brief.
There were not many tears, for this was not a com
pany of mourners, but rather a group of friends and
later-generation relatives who warned to keep Min
ta company on this last earthly journey.
When the short ceremony was over, the friends
and relatives lingered for a few minutes, then de
parted quietly, leaving Minta in the company of
tier family, and rows of friends and other relatives,
many of whom had been waiting at Lakeview for a
long time.
The circle was complete... Mima Bergman White,
born March 16, 1880, had at last returned to the
community she had always regarded as home. One
sees a lot in 89 years, but Nashville must have look
ed very good to Minta last Saturday morning.
Mima was home, and to her surviving friends
and relatives it seemed entirely right and proper.
It must have seemed the same to Mima.
Last Friday afternoon the Griswold Room was the
setting for the annual gathering of ladies from the
Vermontville area for the event known as the S unshine Party. Since 1938 the last Friday in July has
been set aside to honor the older ladies of the com
munity. This custom really began about 75 years
ago, dwindled out, and then was revived in 1938 by
Rev. James Stein.
The sight of these charming and gracious women
grouped about a lovely teatable, the sound of their
voices raised in singing, their enthusiastic applause
during the program presented for their entertain
ment, the solemn moment of prayer, and probably
best of all, the opportunity to greet old friends and
meet new ones; all these things made it a memor
able affair and a highlight of the year.
Mary Baker, who liad charge of the guest book,
reports that 76 ladies registered. The three ladies
with the greatest number of .years to their credit re
ceived bouquets. They were Cora Rawson, Lulu
Southern and Ethel Gam.
The committee was composed of Ava Kroger,
Mary Fisher, Vera Viele, Kathryn McDonald, Leone
Cotton, Frances Shetenhelm, and Ann
Samann.
Ava Kroger and Leone Cotton greeted guests at the
door. Mrs. Maunder, Mrs. Hosey and Mrs. Viele
poured.yiTea and fruit punch were served along with
an incredible assortment of delectable cookies that
would turn any Viennese pastry cook green with en
vy.
The program was presented by Dorothy Carpenter
who introduced and directed the youth choir of the
United Methodist Church. These youngsters sang
several numbers, some acapella and some accom
panied by Ava Kroger. Their vivacity soon resulted
in "audience participation" casting considerable
doubt on the oft-memioned "generation gap. "
Randy Garn, accompanied by his aunt, Mrs. Rich
ard Garn, sang three songs which were very much
enjoyed. Those five fascinating Foxes, Cathy. Laur
ie, Mary. Ann and Liz. tuned up their instruments
and played several rollicking numbers. (The King
Family and the Lennon Sisters had better look to
their laurels!)
Mrs. Tate, wife of the Rev. David Tate. told.the
story of the Praying Hands and led the assembly in
prayer. The entire group sang "What a Friend We
Have in Jesus," "America the Beautiful, " and "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds, "
Leta Nagle gave the necrology. Ruth Anderson
read an important and very gratifying announcement
from the Historical Society and the group were in vited to inspect the Museum after the party. It was
a perfect day for a Sunshine Party.

FACING FACTS
If automaker critic Ralph Nader couldshow a fea
ture in cars which could be connected with 24 per
cent of fatal accidents in the state, the public
would be demanding that corrections be made.
But when figures snow that 24 percent of highway
deaths are connected with drunk driving, there is
very little public reaction. The public reacts no
more when tola that 72 percent of drivers involved
in fatal accidents were drinking to some degree be
fore the accident. These figures, from a study b y
Automobile Club of Michigan, indicate early the
direction which must be taken if traffic deatns are
to be reduced signific ntly. But the public does not
seem to show an inclination to face up to the real
problems of traffic safety.

BIRCHERS INVOLVED
Those who doubt the involvement of the John
Birch Society in the anti-sex education campaign
whose effects now are being felt in Michigan need
look no further than the group's own publications to .
satisfy their doubts.
Again and aba in this year, the group's bulletins
have spoken of the need to combat sex education
programs in any shape or form.
The drive is being spearheaded by groups calling
themselves MOTOREDE committee*. MOTOREDE
stands for Movement to Restore Decency.
The January society bulletin said there is "one
more urgent requirement" for MOTOREDE commit
tees besides merely organizing.
"That requirement is organized, nationwide, in
tensive, angry and determined opposition to the now
mushrooming program of so-called sex education
in the public schools," it said. .
No more accurate description of the organized op
position in Michigan could be found than "intensive,
angry and determined.
determined. "
The same bulletin described sex education
>n programs as a "subversive monstrosity" and a "1filthy
communist plot."
>
.
_Jt-sa4d-Sex education programs have three "com
munist objectives:"
—"A final assault upon the family as a funda
mental block in the structure of our civilization.
--"To destroy one whole generation of American
youth.
—"To help all of the other forces at work to des
troy completely the very concept of morality."
The February bulletin devotes more than five pa
ges to "The Principles and Purposes of the Movement
to Restore Decency" and often pamphlet reprints of
the article.
Pamphlets speak first of a "contemporary break
down of morality and manners. "
ft then asserts: "By far the most dangerous and
disastrous step in this whole program to promote de
generacy is the present increasingly widespread ef
forts to introduce 'sex education^inro our schools
all the way from kindergarten through high school."
The pamphlet also said, "We do not believe that
the current drive for sex education is even intended
by it* originators and promoters to provide a need
ed and beneficial service in the schools. It is their
sinister objective instead to create an unceasing
and dangerous obsession with sex in the minds of
The April bulletin says, " Already, from several
parts of the country we have received reports of ma
jor victories in various effort* to keep sex education
out of schools and in the home where it belongs.
And this is just a beginning. "
Sex education again pops up in the May issue of
the bulletin. The society says the basis of-all sex
education programs are 6 communists who are deter
mined to use an artificially stimulated prepossession
of sex during school years as a means of destroying
the character of a whole generation of American
youth. "
The bulletin concludes by saying that it expects
membership of MOTOREDE committees to be made
up of only 10 percent society members.
"The remaining 90 percent will consist of good
citizens drawn from every level and division of A
merican life, who are seriously concerned about
the future of their children and of their country, "
it says.
.
ROMNEY OUT
At least one statehouse official doubts that for
mer Gov. George Romney would even consider run
ning for the US Senate in 1970. That's Gov. Wil
liam G. Milliken.
Sources close to the Governor say Milliken con
siders the chances of Romney coming back to run
for the Senate "very smalL ''
The Governor, who has ruled himself out of the
race for the Senate, does consider Supreme Court
Chief Justice Thomas E, Brennan as a possibility,
however.
As for Millkien himself, it's assumed by every
one he’ll run for his present office.

They both left the store together, at which time
another woman joined them carrying an envelope
she "just found. ” Inside was another envelope with
a glassine window with money showing through, Mrs.
Hickok told police later.
The second woman left Mrs. Hickok and the first
woman at a restaurant while she went to "checkwith
her employer. " She returned and said the envelope
contained $20,000 in cash and a $10,000 bond
which her employer kept. The woman then asked
Mrs. Hickok to put some good-faith money in order
to obtain her share of the money they had found.
Mrs. Hickok drove to banks in Nashville and Ver
montville and returned with $1,120 which she gave
the two women. They then left, giving her instruc
tions to go to an otttce downtown to receive het
share of the money. They disappeared. She then
went to the police.

Because we are able to store your grain at Vermont
ville and also dry it if it needs to be, we can han die it at Lower Discounts. It will pay you to check

Also, because ye have several grain markets open

thereby also net the farmer more.
This weekend will see the annual Michigan In
dian Homecoming Pow Wow as it has been held at
Charlton Park since 1934. To accompany it will be
films on Indian themes shbwn at 7 p. m. in the Mu
seum, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Two of the
films are repeats from early in the summer because
they are considered good enough to merit a larger
audience. The first is the color film “How Indians
Build Canoes" which takes the viewer through every
step from stripping the bark from a large white birch
tree to a fast paddle' with a crew of native canoe
men in this most typical and unique of North Amer
ican watercraft.
The second film brought back for a rerun is "How
to Make Primitive Stone Tools" which makes chip
ping such implements as knives, scrapers and arrow
heads see.m remarkably simple.
The two new films are "Indian Canoeman" and
"The Longhouse People." The latter is a colorpeek
into the lives of a modern-day group of Iroquois In
dians who still hold to the ancient religion of their
fathers. Modem farm tractors and century old rituals
mingle in a unique world of events, each evoking
an appropriate dance or ceremony; from welcoming
the dawn to mourning a dead chief.
These films shoula add an extra educational and
entertainment dimension to attending the annual
Charlton Park Pow Wow.
■
Films for the weekend of August 15-17 include
perhaps the best craft film ever made. Produced by
Colonial Williamsburg only a year ago, "Cooper
ing" shows all the detailed steps in converting a
standing tree into a usable barret Even persons not
particularly interested in barrel making should find
the use of long forgotten hand tools interesting.
With it will be two other craft films; "Woods &
Their Uses" and "Candle Making. "
Another Williamsburg craft film will highlight
the August 22-24 showings. "Basket-making" will
be accompanied by three short films on lumbering
as it was done in Michigan's "Boom Era. "

Wayne State University
students now can catch up on
missed lectures, cram for
exams or enrich normal study
programs merely by pushing
buttons around the 180-acre
campus.
WSU’s new facility, the
Tele-Norm Electronic Dial
Access Information Retrieval
System, allows students at
159 push-button dial stations
in nine different campus
buildings to tune in instantly
any of 134 pretaped lesson
programs. The programs—two
per tape—are changed period
ically as the courses progress.
Utilizing technological
advances from the U.S. space
program, the dial access
system's reed relay switching
and microcircuits are design
ed to function literally for
billions of operations.
Student carrels—private
listening booths—with head
sets and push-button dial
units are linked by sophisti
cated switching equipment to
67 automatic audio tape
decks in the Wayne State
Systems, Distribution and
Utilization Center. The net
work is connected by leased
telephone lines.
Six stations are in class
rooms, where instructors can
dial selected instructional
material and feed it over a
public address system to
hundreds of students. Hie
other 153 push-button panels
are in the student carrels.
Immediate expansion plans
call for installation of six
carrels m the WSU School of
Medicine and six in Hutzel
Hospital. The University is
considering long, range plans
for adding 2,000 carrels and
an appropriate number of
tape decks to the system, says
Dr. Thomas W. Roberts Jr.,
920 S. Reading Road, Bloom
field Hills, Systems Center
director.
dial A TAPE to STUDY- Wayne State University students
now can study for exams or hear missed lectures from 159
push-button dial booths around the WSU campus. Pushing
the proper numbered buttons will activate any of 134 pre
taped lesson programs, changed periodically as the courses
progress. Dr. Thomas W. Roberts Jr., WSU Systems Center
director, is changing a tape on one of the tape deck banks.
When construction is
completed this fall on the
new WSU Speech and Foreign
Language Building, Roberts
says it will have its own
400-carreI dial access system
for retrieval of language
lessons, and may be hooked
up later by a trunk line to the
system now in operation.
A study now is underway
to determine the feasibility of
using telephone trunk lines to
connect remote learning
stations to the system. Use of
telephone lines also could
enable students in the Detroit

THE GUARD RAIL in the left foreground is another example

area to dial the desired taped
program from their homes.
Roberts notes that video
monitors can and might be
added to the audio positions
later.
The taped programs,
mounted on tape decks in the
Systems Center, include the
whole spectrum of University
education, from English liter
ature and Greek philosophy
to Baroque music apprec
iation and meteorology. Most
programs are prepared by the
WSU staff 4nd faculty.
The automatic electronic
system has metering devices
that record frequency and
duration of programs selected
and the number of
“customers” on each.
The $124,000 system is
almost unlimited in flex
ibility, Roberts notes, and
since there are few moving
parts—main parts are modular
plug-in type—maintenance is
greatly reduced.
The value of dial access
instruction was proved at
, Wayne State with a small
electro-mechanical system
now being replaced by the
Tele-Norm System. Students
generally were enthusiastic,
and many claimed better
learning and retention
because of the direct
individual impact.

Demonstrate tribal dances at
Annual Indian Pow ff ou
During the two-day Indian Pow Wow held at Charl
ton Park this past weekend, an estimated 3, 500 per
sons were on hand to watch the Indians demonstrate
their various tribal dances and ceremonials, and
view their handicraft work on display.
On hand were 280 Indians representing 26 tribes.
They came from Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin. Michigan and Ontario, Canada. Of those
encamped at the park 96 Indians participated in the
programs given Saturday afternoon and evening, and
again Sunday afternoon.
Over 1, 000 persons visited the Museum where new
exhibits on the early Indians had been set up. The
exhibits included many Indian tribes from Mexico
to Alaska, and of special interest was a case which
held an Indian Jacket decorated in quills. During
the evening movies on Indians and their crafts were
shown inside the Museum.
During the Pow Wow cameramen from Michigan
Outdoors were on hand to film the programs, and
these will be shown, according to Harvey Versteeg,
director at the park, on TV channel 3, at 7 p. m.
Thursday evening of this week.
Next weekend there will be a fine display of an
tique cars at Charlton Park and these are sure to
draw crowds during Saturday and Sunday. In the eve
ning a fascinating craft film, made at Williamsburg,
Va., will be shown on "Coopering". This has been
scheduled for 7 p. m. in the museum.
Mr, Versteeg, also announces that an additional
slide and " bouncy" animals have been set up in the
park for the youngsters.

over the past several months, and if you haven't

Antique cars to parade
at Park this Sunday
The Battle Creek chapter of the Veteran Motor
Can Club of American plans to have a picnic at
Charlton Park this Sunday, August 17.
Between 15 and 20 old time vehicles are expect
ed to make the journey from the Cereal City to the
park in Hastings, all hoping to arrive about noon for
lunch.
The can will be on view at the park while the
owners enjoy the park facilities and exhibits in the
Barry County Museum. Anyone interested is invited
to join the "car buffs" for a day of swimming, pic
nicking and relaxation much as the original owners
of the old cars probably did on Sunday afternoons
shortly after tire turn of the century.
Charlton Park is 1/2 mile north of M-79 halfway
between Hastings and Nashville, located on the
shores of Thomapple Lake and River.
�backstreet
barometer
Last week's paper had a photograph in it showing
the bottom of our village water towet and revealing
it .to be in a state of ratner bad repair. In a high '
wind the tower apparently separates from the foun
dation. It would appear that some day the tower
could blow over and spill water over a good portion
of Nashville. It would, at the very least, put plenty
of water in the park.
Nashville is not unique in the difficulties it is
experiencing with supplying drinking water-to its
people. Many villages and cities are in far Worse
shape than we are.
Nashville's problem is only that we don't have
adequate space to store water for the use of our
people. Many places on this earth do not have
water to store.
.
Right at the moment we in Michigan do not
have to worry about a supply of water. Michigan
controls almost a third of the fresh water of the
world.
Three hundred years ago when the white men
first started paddling then canoes around the Great
Lakes and when they first suited probing into the
interior of our state, they were impressed by the
amount of water the land had to offer. We are
still impressing people but this too might come to
an end. If we continue to throw our waste into our
water we will only compound problems. It is just
not logical to foul our environment. If we continue
to treat our greatest resource as we have in
ir the past,
Michigan wul
will then control a third of what was
fresh
water of‘ the world. It certainly
f
, could not be
considered fresh if it is filled with oil, sewage,
sewage.
industrial effluence and general filth. This is an
other story though.
_
Nashville's problem, at' the moment at least,
does not seem to be one of polluted drinking water.
Right now we have a supply of water. Our problem
is one of storing the water for day-to-day use.
When our water tower was first built, the village
of Nashville was about the same size it is now.
From this one would assume that a new water tower
the same size as the old one would amply take care
of the needs of the.village. This is not true.
Since the water tower was built the per-capita
consumption of water has increased not one, not
two times, but as much as twenty times. So even
if the towd- were in good repair, it probably would
not be adequate for a toyn of this size. We would
soon be faced with the problem of needing more
storage space anyway. The people of the village
can be comforted in the knowledge that our water
problem is indeed a small problem compared to
that of many places where the people would be
happy to provide a place to store water if they
could only get an ample supply of water.
California is now mining fossil water that it took
nature millions of years to store up. The good
people of California are filling swimming pools,
watering lawns, taking baths at such a rate that
they deplete this fossil water in the matter of a very
very few years. When that is gone there is no more.
This is like drawing money out of a bank... money
-deposited by a grandfather or a great grandfather.
When that is gone... you either go to work or starve.
At least we are not in that shape. The water we use
is l-eing replenished. Our water problem can be
remedied with a few dollars. California's problem
cannot be remedied. They just don't have the water.
Building a place to store water will be a problem,
to be sure. We have to find the money, the place
to locate a new tower and the connecting lines to
it. Perhaps we will need new wells.'
This is for certain, we must have water. Without
it Nashville could not hope to exist for long.

The Fire Department is one of the more important
users of water in town. When they need water they
need it badly and they need it immediately. These
men have worked hard and long protecting the rest
of us from the dangers of fire. They have worked
out of a fire hall that has been far less than adequate
for years. The old fire hall has never been large
enough to house the equipment we have. There
has never been space enough to dry hoses after
they have been used.
Last week the people of the district voted for
millage to build a new fire hall, one that will be
adequate. Chis is a step in the right direction and
will make our volunteer fire department that much
more efficient.

Dear friends.
For most families, the pur
chase of a burial plot is a
permanent investment and an
important responsibility. The
plot selected should be large
enough to accommodate all
members of the family, yet
within the purchasers finances.
It is wise to purchase
burial facilities in advance
of need, as a hasty decision
may lead to regrets.
Respectfully,

emphasized to approximately 175 high school jun
ior and senior students chosen from Michigan high

igan University, Mt. Pleasant. The opportunity to
participate in this program was offered at a Young
People’s Citizenship Seminar, sponsored by Michi
gan Farm Bureau.
Featured speakers were Dr. John Furbay, lecturer,
author and global air commuter. Forest Hills, New
York; Dr. Clifton Ganus, president, Harding Col
lege, Searcy, Arkansas; D. Hale Brake, Michigan
State Association of Supervisors and Arthur Holst,
National Football official.

Classes to begin on September 2nd
The Maple Valley Schools, serving parts of Eaton
and Barry counties, will open for classes on Tues
day, Sept. 2 with all students in grades 1 to 12 be
ing in session on Tuesday. Kindergarten students
will be in attendance on Wednesday, Sept. 3. Class
es in all buildings will begin at 8:30 a. m.
The opening teachers meetings will be held on
Aug. 28 and 29. The meeting will be a combined
meeting' of all staff members which will be held in
the high school cafeteria at 9:00 a. m. on Aug. 28.
Staff meetings are being scheduled in the various
buildings with the building principals for Thursday
afternoon and Friday.
Collective negotiations with all teaching and
non-teaching personnel were completed before the
end of the last school year. The new teachers salary
schedule should help attract well qualified teachers
while keeping competent experienced teachers in
the Maple Valley Schools. The new bachelor's
degree schedule starts at $7; 000 and reaches a max
imum of $9. 975 in eleven steps. The master's de
gree schedule begins at $7,400 and reaches a max
imum of $10, 545 in eleven steps.
An increase is expected in student enrollment this
fall with an anticipated 1, 900 students compared
with this past year’s enrollment of 1, 853 students.
All available classrooms will be used for instruct
ional purposes and the largest classroom enrollments
will be in the lower elementary grades.
The elementary staff is nearly complete with a
need for a kindergarten teacher and a fifth grade
teacher. This year the elementary staff will also in
clude a physical education teacher, an art teacher,
and a vocal music teacher. Again this year, remed
ial reading teacher! will be working in the elemen
tary grades and junior high school. Mrs. Hildred
Peabody will be teaching in the area of student
counselling and curriculum evaluation.
The junior-senior high school staff is complete
excepting for an instrumental music teacher, juniorhigh science teacher, and a part time commercial
teacher.
The Maple Valley Jaycees have been organized
only a little over a year. Yet, during this short
period they have poured over $5, 000 into com
munity efforts in the villages of Vermontville and
Nashville. The Jaycees have worked hard on the
various projects, and their efforts have been greatly
helped along by the members of the Auxiliary.
The Jaycee membership is made up of young men
21 to 35 years of age from Vermontville and Nash
ville. The group holds its regular meetings at the
American Legion Hall in Vermontville.
It would be impossible to list all of their activ
ities, but they did help in promoting the Maple
Syrup Festival in Vermontville; in developing a
park in that community; promoting the Nashville
Centennial; sponsoring canoe races; fishing contests;
basketball and baseball teams in both communities,
and many other activities for children. The high
light of this past year was providing a Christmas
party for underprivileged children and giving them
Sfor a shopping expedition for gifts for their
is. The jc’s spent nearly $500 on this project,
and were able to provide for only a small percent
of the children they would like to have entertained.
This year they hope to include more children in
the Christmas party.
The first JC president was Gary Foote, but before
his year terminated he was named a State Director
and Lee McMillen finished out the year. This year
Larry Filter heads the group as president. The inter
rice president is Larry Lenz; external vice president,
Don Augustine; secretary, Rex Balch; treasurer, Greg
Hoefler; state directors, Larry Carpenter and Ray
Roush, and local directors, Wm. Semrau and Ron
Rosin.
President Filter has appointed the following com
mittees for the year: Awards, Ron Rosin, Gene Ser
vice and Dick Huckendubler; house and social,
Gary Foote, Larry Lenz, Rex Balch, Greg Hoefler
and Don Augustine; community service, Rex Balch,
Tim Smith, Lamoin Mitchell, Bob Gardner, Duane
Reid and Leon Frith; public affiars, Terry Gardner,
"ahn Hartwell, Marvin Laurie, Sam Sessions, Jerry
Gray and Russ Weiler; records and recognition, Jerry
Johnson, Ralph Kirk and Marvin Laurie.
Ways and means, Larry Carpenter, Wm. Semrau,
Lee McMillen, Larry Lenz and Jim Carpenter; pub
licity, Wm. Kjergaard, Kenneth Meade Jr. , Bob
Carmoney, Vance Higdon, Fred Corkins and Doug
las Gardner; youth and sports, Richard Furlong,
Merle Martin, Ralph Kirk, Bill Gibbs and Ray Roush;
membership, Jerry Reese and Larry Filter; parlimentarian, Lee McMillen; chaplain, Wark Rooks,publi
cations and communications, Dick Furlong, Glenn
Suup and Bob Gardner; Speak Up committee, Jim
Carpenter.
Ttie Auxiliary was organized soon after the men
formed their club and Mrs. Duane Reid was the first
president. This year the president is Mrs. Ralph Kirk
and the women, in addition to assisting the Jaycees
in their projects whenever needed, plan to hold a
wig show this fall, and they are contemplating a
baby sitting clinic for junior high school girls. On
a district level they are encouraging saving Betty
Crocker coupons to purchase a kidney machine.
They sponsored the Girl Scouts on a Field Trip
to the Kalamazoo Nature Center and have a very
active program in the planning for this year.
The Auxiliary is made up of 20 young women
and they are hoping to increase the membership
this fall. They meet the fourth Wednesday of each
month in the homes of the members and in addition
the officers meet the second Wednesday of the month.
Working with the president this year will be :
Vice president, Mrs. Jerry Johnson; treasurer, Mrs.
Robert Gardner; secretary, Mrs. Larry Filter, and
director, Mrs. Marvin Laurie. The president will
be appointing another director to replace Mrs. Jim
Erwin who is moving to Louisiana.
Correction noted
An incorrect figure was reported in a recent story
regarding the balance in the Lakeview Cemetery
treasury fund. The account actually has a balance
of $3,184. 62 in the treasury. The figure listed
(incorrectly) was $1,184. 62.
A report of the Lakeview Cemetery Board, pre
pared by the new treasurer. Will Suntken, was read
at the last Village Council meeting. The Ceme
tery Board is under the jurisdiction of the Council
but works as an independent unit.
We regret the error.

This is the vacation issue of the News. It was
prepared and printed a week in advance so that
e veryone here could take a week off. For this
reason it is somewhat smaller than other issues of '
the paper, and of course, our deadline for news
and advertising was last week. So while you are
reading this, we, the Boughtons will be vacation
ing somewhere. A vacation is good for the soul, or
or at least that is what they tell me. It gives one
a chance to rest and relax.
When you own a small newspaper, you work
twice as hard the week before vacation getting
ready to go, you jump in a car dog tirea and rush
to get to someplace, spend a week listening to the
kids complain because nothing happens where you
are vacationing. Generally it rains for that week.
You then get in the car, beat your brains out in
an effort to get back home and work like a goat
trying to catch up for the week you have taken off.
Tnis is known as a relaxing vacation and something
that everyone should have to get him through the
rest of the year. This is what we are on. About the
time you are reading this the kids are complaining
that tnere is nothing to do, excepting, of course,
swim, relax, eat, read, play golf. Mother and dad
will be getting on each other's nerves. Everyone
will be having a wonderful vacation. Then we will
come back and work like government mules trying
to make up for the lost time. -
The other day the Goodyear Blimp flew over
Lansing and I watched it going over. It couldn't
have been at an altitude of more than a thousand
feet. But, of course, blimps don't go an awful lot
more than a thousand feet up anyway. It is a pretty
and a rather majestic thiig and it reminded me of
the days when these lighter than air ships were not
so uncommon. I can remember looking up and
watching the USS Los Angeles flying over Detroit.
I was also remin.'ed of the time during the war
when I was stationed on an island with a total per
sonnel of about one hundred. They flew a Navy
submarine spotting blimp out to our island one day
and attempted to land. The landing technique for
the thing was to drop lines which a ground crew
would grab on to and hold to stop the forward motion
of the blimp. The ground crew would then hand
over-band the lines to pull the blimp to the ground.
The sheer weight of the crew acted as an anchor
for the machine.
This blimp came in and made a pass with the
lines dragging. But the dam thing was going about
thirty miles an hour and most of us could not hang
on to the lines, so the commander of the ship decided
to qjake another pass at it. As he took off to make
the swing at another pass we looked up and noticed
one man, little Lyle from Oklahoma, clinging des
perately to a line a hundred and fifty to two hundred
feet from the ground. All of us in the ground crew
set up a holler and yell, waved our arms and pointed
and the commander of the blimp, realizing that so
something must be wrong to generate such activity
from a bunch of GI's, looked down and saw Lyle
dangling dangerously from the .gondola.. I think the
commander's original idea was to go up to an ordin
ary altitude, swing around and make another pass
at the landing, but he realized his new passenger
could not hold on for this length of time so he immed
lately turned and dipped down. When he was some
ten or twelve feet from the ground Lyle turned
loose of the line and was sent sprawling and rolling
in the lush jungle underbrush. He came up with
nothing but scratches and a lost pair of 35 cent
sun glasses. The commander of the blimp though,
after we had pulled him to earth, shook and showed
signs of shock
Though the Indians with their colorful outfits
were the willing subjects for photographers at the
Indian Pow Wow, they too had their cameras and
did some picture-taking of their own. Here are
three busily engaged in loading their cameras.

Awarded special citation
Pfc. E-3 Harold Lynn Hubka, 21, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Willard Hubka, Route 3, Nashville has been
awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroism.
Pfc Hubka is in B Troop, 3rd Sqdn, 4th Cav. 25th
Inf. Division as a tank driver.
The Award reads:
For heroism in connection with military opera
tions (Vietnam) against a hostile force: Private First
Class Hubka distinguished himself by heroic actions
on June 9, 1969 while serving as a tank driver with
B Troop.
While on a reconnaissance in force mission, B
Troop came in contact with a large enemy force.
As Private Hubka's tank began firing, a defective
round became stuck in the chamber of the main gun.
With complete disregard for his own safety, Pvt.
Hubka exposed himself to the deadly hail of hostile
fire as he.secured a ramming rod and moved to the
front of the vehicle to dislodge the bad round. His
valorous actions contributed immeasurably to the
success of the mission and the defeat of the hostile
force. Private Hubka's bravery and devotion to duty
are in keeping with die highest traditions of the mil
itary service and reflect great credit upon himself,
his unit, the 25th Infantry Division and the United
States Army.
He was awarded the First Oak Leaf Cluster when
B Troop came in contact with jnemy force. Hubka
maneuvered his tank in an assault of the hostile po
sitions. His vehicle was stuck by several rocket pro
pelled grenades, which wounded the tank command
er. Immediately, Private Hubka assumed command
and began to place devastating fire on the hostile
positions. Private Hubka continued to place effec
tive fire on the aggressors until he was seriously
wounded. His valorous actions contributed immeas
urably to the success of the mission.
OPEN LETTER”"
from GEORGE H. VOGT
Dear friends,
For most families, the pur
chase of a burial plot is a
permanent .investment and an
important responsibility. The
plot selected should be large
enough to accommodate all
members of the family, yet
within the purchasers finances.
It is wise to purchase
burial facilities in advance
of need, as a hasty decision
may lead to regrets.
Respectfully,
'Voqt

Editor;
A considerable amount of inquiries into the work
ings of the Barry County Sheriff's Posse prompts us to
issue a statement.
Eight yean ago when the Federal Government be
gan pushing for an active program of national civil
defense, a group of Barry County men formed an or
ganization to provide general assistance to the coun
ty's civil defense leader and local law enforcement
agencies.
The self-supporting organization has increased its
membership over the years, and now comprises a
team of 20 "Barry County Sheriff's Possemen."
Ready to provide volunteer service to any part of
the county in a minute's notice, the team is fully
trained in all phases of law enforcement with ad
ditional training provided periodically.
Recognized by the State of Michigan as deputized
members of the Barry County Sheriff’s department,
each member is financially responsible for all his
equipment... uniforms... and either has access to or
owns a horse. Although organized under the name
of the "Barry County Sheriff's Posse, " the group is
completely detached from the operations of the
Sheriff's department.
The Posse, one of 25 such organizations in Mich
igan , when not furnishing volunteer service to the
area, can be found working at Johnson Field in Has
tings, during football season... the high school gym
during basketball season... the fairgrounds during
the Barry County Fair... parking cars at the Steam
Rodeo... or providing service to private organiza
tions.
,
In the past, the Posse has sponsored chicken bar
becues. .. horse shows... and participated with a
float in the 1967 and 1968 Hastings Christmas Pa
rade, and each year provides a marching unit for
the Memorial Day parade in Hastings.
Annually they treat posse member-families to a
camp-out and Christmas party, among other inter
S activities including the annual Michigan
:fs Posse pony express ride.
Sincerely,
Barry County Sheriff’s Posse

Irving Charlton. The permanent exhibit of native
Michigan Indian artifacts has been enhanced with a
new exhibit case, constructed special to hold one
of the museum's dugout canoes and a rare Indian
shirt of buckskin decorated with porcupine quills
and beads. This shirt if probably the finest exam
ple of Indian clothing the museum possesses;
in
fact, it would be an outstanding piece in any mu
seum's collection. The shirt •------'-----------*-----over the
ca noe with the _____________________
‘
S sides of the
canoe gives a real three dimensional aspect to the
exhibit, making it easy to visualize a proud Chip
pewa brave silently moving through the waters of
Michigan riven and lakes. The crowning touch to
complete the picture is the headdress suspended a
bove all, just awaiting an owner to slip into it for
a ceremonial dance or conclave.
Besides these items from Indians common to Mich
igan area just one hundred and fifty yean ago,
there are several smaller exhibits about Indians
from other pasrt of the Americas. One exhibit en
titled "South of the Border" includes many exam
ples of pottery, copper tools, idols and religious
effigies. Another about Alaskan Eskimos and other
Indians of that area includes many bone and wal
rus iyory tools, a seal oil lamp made of stone, and
a pair of Eskimo sunglasses carved from bone. Be
sides these items from the collection, the director

goon system at the Medical Facility.
The following is a breakdown of now these funds
would be used:

$ 600,000.00
Picnic postponed
The Centennial Committee has announced that
the picnic scheduled for August 9 has been postpon
ed until September because there are so many on
vacation.
The September date will be announced later.
One Mill for 5 yean will raise $600,000.00. This
will not solve every building need Barry County fa
ces, but it WILL allow the creation of a building
fund to finance the following minumum facility
needs:
—
.
A lagoon system will eliminate the sewage prob
lem at the Barry County Medical Care'Faculty. This
must be constructed immediately to eliminate an
over-flowing sewer system which now is contaminat
ing the Thornapple River. -- A lock-up will furnish
the needed facilities to eliminate much of the cost
ly inconvenience to Barry County taxpayea in trans
porting prisoners to Eaton County. Consider how these
dollars could be more profitably spent for patrolling
and law enforcement activities right here in our
county! Consider too, that Michigan Act No. 93
states that Barry County must provide at least a min
imum "lock-up" to comply with the State law. —
A County office complex to house administrative
offices for all county agencies needing more space,
including Social Services, whose needs have been
publicized for some time.
The millage proposition reads as follows: *
Shall the limitation on rhe total amount of taxes
which may be assessed against all property in the
county of Barry be increased by one mill on each
dollar ($1.00 on each $1, 000) of the assessed valu
ation, as equalized of all property in said county for
a period of 5 years from 1969 to 1973, both inclus
ive, for the purpose of providing funds for needed
county buildings and equipment.

"MORE CURBS POSSIBLE"
Cigarette advertising and the regulation of it has
been the concern of Congress and the Federal govern
ment—up to now.
But a member of the Michigan Senate says he is
going to attempt to impose a partial ban on the a d vert&ing of cigarettes in Michigan when the legisla
ture convenes again next January.
William Faust, a non-smoking Democrat from
Westland, notified his fellow senators of his inten
tions during a recent Senate debate or a bill to out
law advertising indicating discrimination in the sale
or exchange of real estate.
Faust proposed an amendment to the bill to re
quire cigarette advertising to describe the "harmful
effects of smoking" as well as urging customers to
purchase the particular brand being advertised.
The proposal received instant support from another
non-smoking senator, Anthony Stamm, a Republican
from Kalamazoo, who said it was a "progressivestep."
But the manager of the bill being considered, Cole
man Young, a Democrat from Detroit who does
smoke, told Faust to leave his bill alone. Young told
Faust he didn't want to lose the bill because of the a
mendment and told him to wait until next January.
.Immediately, Faust withdrew his proposal, saying,
"I didn't want it to come to a vote yet, so I withdrew
it. " But the Westland lawmaker said, "I am serious,
though, and this serves notice on everyone that next
January I will sponsor a bill."
The proposal to have such advertising tell the
"harmful effects" of smoking would be an effort to
comply with federal regulations, he said. In that
way, the media wouldn't be deprived of freedom of
speech, but no positive advertising would take place,
he said.
If Faust is successful in his attempt, Michigan
would be the first state to impose restrictions on the
advertising of cigarettes, a subject which has receiv
ed much attention from Congress and several regula
tory agencies up to now.
At present, the only restriction on the sale or ad
vertising of cigarettes is a requirement that each pack
sold in the United States include the statement:
"Caution, Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to
Your Health. *
The Federal Communications Commission has rul
ed that broadcast stations which air cigarette adver
tising must also give time to anti-smoking commer
cials sponsored by the American Cancer Society and
other national health groups.
•
Other proposals include such extreme measures as
a complete nan on cigarette advertising, a step which
has been taken in several European countries.
The National Association of Broadcasters' Televis
ion Code Review Board recently made a voluntary re
commendation that all cigarette ads be eliminated
from television by Sept. 1, 1973. The board also re
commended prohibiting cigarette commercials in or
adjacent to any program primarily directed to young
audiences.
A gradual phaseout of the advertising to being next

Michigandea who have been' unsure of how to han
dle unsolicited goods they receive by mail now have
some guidance in the matter from the state's

Gov. William G. Milliken recently signed into law
a measure providing that unsolicited goods which
come in the mail will be considered unconditional
gifts from now on. The law says the recipient may
either refuse to accept delivery, may refuse to accept
any obligation for returning them or may dispose of
them any way he wants to.
LADIES EVERYWHERE
SEAM, the Society for the Emancipation of .the A- mericar. Male, is a new organization in Ann Arbor.
According to a story in the New York Times, the

--Photo by Gladys Richardson
Last spring when the Nashville municipal maple
syrup making project started various organizations
pitched in to help. They were credited with "hours"
and the payoff came last week when the checks were
handed out to seven groups.
The largest check went to the United Methodist
Church and was for $917. 28. Other groups receiving
checks were the Boy Scouts, $717. 08; the Volunteer
Firemen, $646. 29; Lions Club, $586. 56; BandBoost
ers, $399. 36; Girl Scouts, $149. 76 and the Brown
ies, $99. 88. Another $706.14 will be used to pu. chase maple trees to replace some within the village
that have had to be cut down.
In all, the checks totaled $4,218.15. The trees
were upped on February 22, and the buckets were
pulled April 8, after nearly 800 gallons of syrup
were processed.
The Nashville Maple Syrup Association, headed
by Harold Christiansen as president, and the other
officers are indeed grateful for the cooperation of
the various organizations, and also to the merchants
who gratefully sold the syrup at their places of bus
iness. Without such cooperation the municipal syrup
making project could never have succeeded

These junior high league baseball players, under
the direction of Merle Martin, finished their sum
mer schedule Thursday evening winning 25 games
out of 30. They won tne league championship tro?hy made up of teams from, Portland (two), Sunield, Lake Odessa, Nashville, Woodland and Ver
montville and also the tournament trophy in this
league; they won the runner-up district trophy sponspon
sored by the American Legion of Vermontville, and
the runner-up trophy in the Saranac invitational
tournament.
The team is made up of boys 16 years of age
and under.
The boys traveled a distance <jf 1,067 miles this
summer and their schedule included teams as far a
way as Schoolcraft, Bronson and (believe it or not)
Wa Wa, Canada.
The team has been largely self-supported. They
also earned money for their trip to Canada in June
by having candy sales, a booth at the maple syrup
festival, had a concession stand and took up free
will offerings at the league tournament games, and
conducted a "parking lot” during the festivaLSome
of their equipment has been merchant-sponsored.
For their trip into Canada the boys had to earn
their own money. Their trip to Canada was an out
standing event for the youngsters, and this is the way
they tell it: "At 1:00 p. m. on June 27, with 12
boy's and six grownups, we left Vermontville for a
ten-day trip to White River, Canada, with two
pickup trucks, a station wagon and one van.
"We camped Friday night at Foley Creek Camp
Grounds in three tents. Next day we were in White
River at 1:00 p. m. ready to fly to Dannie Lake, a
bout a 15-mile ride. It took four airplanes to fly
all our food and group to the lake. There we found
two tents and we set up three more. We had three
big boats and eight canoes. Fishing was real good.
Doug Newton was the winner of a new rod and reel
for catching the biggest fish. Ernie Jensen caught
the most fish.
"We had Eaton County’s best cook with us on the
trip, Mrs. Millie Martin. We had fish several times,
along with lots of other good food.
"On Saturday, July 5, we left the lake in three
big planes. At 6:00 p. m. we played baseball with
the Wa Wa baseball team and beat them. Later (hat
night we camped at Foley Creek again on our way
home.
"The ulk of the trip was seeing moose, beaver,
bear tracks, and the big fish that got away.
"We appreciate the cooperation of all, especially
LeRoy Wion, Paul Shipman. Ray Beebe, and Mrs.
Martin for making this trip such a nice one. "

One of tiie nicest things about a vacation is com
ing back home again. Our week spent relaxing was
wonderful but it is a relief to get back home again.
The only problem is that when you are away from
home you can kinda forget all tne things you have
to do at home, but when you get back they are
looking you right in the face.
Our vacation took us toPort Sanilac where the
entire family relaxed; read "Airport”, ate, swam
and walked along the beach. Oh yes, we also baby
sat a dog. We got so taken up in our relaxing that
I didn't even take time out to play golf. I had in
tended to play at least nine holes a day, but just
never got to it.
Now we are home and back in the routine of
things. After this paper is out we will go back to
vacationing for the remainder of the week.
I saw June Decker on her Honda the other day and
gave her a bad time about women drivers... even
on motorbikes. June invited me to jump on and go
for a ride with her... an invitation I refused. As I
told June, I wouldn't even drive one myself, much
less go for a ride with someone else driving. June
then told me that not all residents of our village are
that chicken. She said Sunday she was riding down
the street when she saw Jerry Kent, running like mad.
It turned out he was in a rush to get the ambulance
to answer a calL Jerry jumped on the' back of the
bike and June delivered him to the garage in noth
ing flat. Mark up one good deed for June and never
call Jerry chicken.

what’s a
funny
place for
a phone?
That depends on your sense of humor. If interrupting
your washing or ironing to rush upstairs to answer the
telephone leaves you breathless, then an extension
telephone makes good sense.
'
An. extension telephone saves steps and lets you do
your telephoning from where you are. You can select
from many smart styles and decorative colors.
Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your
telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month
(plus tax) you can have an ex
tension telephone in any funny Michigan Bell (
old place you’d like.

�Council approves Charlton operation
The Nashville village council went on record, at
the Thursday night meeting, as approving the way
the reorganized Charlton Park Board is operating
the park and museum. The clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell was advised to send a letter to the board com
mending them on their policies.
A report was read from Putnam Public Library
which listed the business transactions over the year.
Included were the new books purchased, improve
ments and repaits made on the building, including
installation of new carpeting, and other items on
the financial standing of the various library funds.
Committee members from the water, sewer and
street departments scheduled a meeting for Mon
day evening. August 18, to hire someone to take
over the position as superintendent of public works
being vacated by Jim Erwin. Erwin tendered his
resignation to accept a teaching position at Lake
Providence, Louisiana.
The council will ask for bids oh a new police
cruiser in October when the 1970 models will be a
vailable.
Nashville’s attorney, Paul Seigel of Hastings,
will be asked for a ruling on the procedure con
cerning village-owned property where the fire bam
is located. Tne village owns this property, and
Castleton Township owns the property adjacent on
the north where the ambulance is housed. A new
building to house both units is to be constructed on
the two lots. Therefore, the property should belong
to one governmental body.
The dam across Thornappie River back of the
Citizen's Elevator is in need of repairs. While this
is not the responsibility of the village, still they
ate concerned, as the dam is important to the com
munity. It is hoped a solution will be forthcoming.
Other items on the agenda included the passing
of the bills, report of the police department and
and other routine matters. The police cruiser travel
ed 2, 642 miles and 345.1 gallons of gasoline were
consumed. A breaking and entering of a residence,
and a business place were reported, several minor
complaints answered, and a number of moving and
non-moving traffic violations were reported.

State officials to attend
Barry County gathering
A farm owned by Hugh and Violet Feighner of
Thornapple Lake Road, Route 1, Nashville, has been
designated as a Centennial Farm by the Michigan
Historical Commission.
The farm, located in Castleton Township, Barry
County, has been in the possession of the family
since 1853. It was originally purchased August 16,
1853 by George Feighner, great grandfather of the
present owner, from Archelaus Greene. .
According to Secretary of State James M. Hare,
whose department directs the activities of the His
torical Commission, the Centennial Farm program
in Michigan was established in 1948. Since that
time, certificates and metal markers have been a
warded to more than 2, 500 Michigan farms.
The program is administered under the direction
of the Commission while markers are provided by
Detroit Edison and Consumes Power Companies.
According to Hare, a Centennial Farm is one
which has been in the continuous possession of the
same family for 100 years or more. For this p urpose, the Historical Commission considers a farm
to be 10 or more acres having estimated sales of
more than $50 yearly, or less than 10 acres but hav
ing estimated sales of $250 annually.
Persons owning farms who wish to apply for Cen- ■
tennial Farm certificates are asked to write for an
application to Centennial Farm Program, Michigan

Hastings Elks Club provides assistance
Nine years ago last June, when Joseph Nathan
Williams was seven years of age, and was eagerly
awaiting school that fall, he fell from a mule. He
struck his head in the mishap and underwent serious
surgery in a hospitaL The accident left Joseph to
tally blind.
None the less he did enter, the Tanner School
that fall, and the following year was enrolled at the
Ann J. Kellogg School in Battle Creek. He learned
to type when he was a fourth grader and continues to
hand in bis work carefully typewritten. He com
pleted the sixth grade at Ann J. Kellogg School. His
seventh and eighth grade classes were at-Northwest
ern Junior High in Battle Creek, and he took
his
freshman work at the W. K. Kellogg School there.
This fall he will enter Central in Battle Creek as a
sophomore.
Joseph is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nathan Wil
liams, St. of Quimby Road, Route 2, Hastings. He
is one of eight children at home, and he has a half
sister who is married.
Joe is raising a heifer completely by himself. He
has a riding horse named "Queen" and of his horse
Joe says “Queen seems to know I can't see, and she
always takes me along the edge of the highway, nev
er out in the road. She is a sorrel with a-white face,
and silver mane and taiL “ Joe would like to join a
4-H club, and perhaps someday be shall
This summer a new and wonderful experience
came to this blind boy. The Hastings Elks learned
of his condition and went to the Williams home to
offer assistance. Was there something they could do
for Joe? There was. Joe would like a leader dog.
Immediately Elton Sanderson, head of Major Proj
ects, contacted the Michigan Elks Association, and
on June 15 Joe was enrolled at the Leader Dog School
at Rochester. He was at the school for four weeks,
during which time he learned to travel confidently
with his 12-month old German shepherd dog, "Black
ie. * Intensive training sessions were held daily, and
practice was conducted both in Rochester, a small
city, and in Royal Oak, a comparatively larger city.
The actual obtaining and taking commancf of
"Blackie", a graduate leader dog was an exciting
experience for Joseph. There were more than four
hours of street training daily. The instructor ac
companied the team on the-first few walks, then
left them to find their way on a memorized route
through Rochester and Royal Oak. The instructor, of
course, was available if the student became confus
ed or lost. They took trips through various depart
ment stores ana other places of interest.
"Blackie," Joseph's new companion, was contrib
uted to the school by a friend of the organization,
and she spent ten days in quarantine before going
into actual training. After six weeks of obedience
and basic training, came six weeks of training to
recognize such hazardous conditions as moving traf
fic, pedestrians, curbs, low hanging branches, awn
ings, puddles, and everything that may be danger
ous to the student.
Joseph discovered that using a Leader Dog requires
only the ordinary application erf common sense. Jo
seph must know where he is going and he directs '
Blackie to the destination with commands such as
forward — right—left. It is "Blackie's" job to guide
Joseph safely over the terrain from starting point to
destination.
It will take four to five months of "seasoning" be
fore Joseph can entirely eliminate minor problems
and distractions that might occur. "Blackie" is a
friendly dog and safe among people, but the public
is reminded nor to interfere while the dog is work
ing for it distracts the Leader Dog.
While "Blackie" has an important job when she is
traveling, in the home a Leader Dog lives like any
other pet, having time to romp and play.
There is no charge for Leader Dog training,
though the unit cost per student is approximately
While Joe is attending school this.fall in Battle
Creek, "Blackie" will remain at home, but during
off-school hours the new-found companionship will
be a warm and rewarding one for both the blind boy
and his Leader Dog.

Nashville Council discusses
village water problems
BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC
Not too long a;>>. the topic of education was a
somewhat dull one to throw into a conversation.
Most persons accepted it as a necessity for their
children; viewed school teachers as being a little
bit smarter than themselves and rather milk-toast
type individuals. Schools taught the "three r's, "
and their operation was totally a local thing.
But in just a few years, the entire field changed
so that it would appear strange to someone suddenly
thrust into today's educational picture from the one

more and more into the picture.
This fall, the Leeislaiiture will take its most con
Lawmakers will
centrated look yet into education.
i
convene October 6 and "for one week will deal with
business left from the session which adjourned in
July.
But from October 13 on, the only subject up for
discussion will be education. And a great deal of
the discussion of education will deal with the fin-,
ancing of it.
Property owners have grown more and more dis
satisfied in recent years over the property tax loads
they carry. The state, in an effort to alleviate this
load, has entered more and more into the financing
of education.
For the current fiscal year, the state is pumping
$800 million back to local school districts to help
them pay their,bills. And the districts say that
still isn't enough.
When the session begins, the lawmakers will
receive a set of recommendations from Gov.
William G. Milliken. The recommendations are
being drawn up now by the Governor, who is work
ing with his staff and with a Commission on Educa
tional Reform which he appointed to examine
Michigan's total education picture.
The commission recently finished a series of three
public hearings in which it took testimony from more
more than 120 persons. It has been digesting this
information and attempting to distill it into a
program which the Governor can agree with.
Two issues seemed to pop up the most in the
three hearings: property tax relief and state aid to
parochial schools.
Tax relief proposals ranged from mild reform of
the property tax to outright abolition.
Whatever he decides, the Governor will have
to include recommendations in this area in his
message to> the
the Legislature. Most observers now
are betting, oni an increase in the sute income tax
to provide C_
the added income needed.
'Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee
Harry De Maso, however, is conducting a study
into tax loopholes which exist and says he could
raise the money needed merely by closing loopholes.
The lawmakers are sure to give quite a bit of
attention to a proposal which could Increase rev
enues while leaving existing tax rates as they are,
Parochiaid generated a great deal of heat during
the recently completed session and is sure to create
more this fall and winter. '
Parochial schools have been hit hard by rising
costs and are, in some areas, in danger of being
forced to close.
Parochial school backers see state aid to private
schools as the "Promised Land* which can save
their schools. They say it actually is cheaper for
the state to help parochial schools because if the
Opponents view with alarm any thought of pro
viding state aid to parochial schools. The most
frequent argument is that it constitutes a violation
of the principle of separation of church and state.
It is not a dull topic anymore. There is also
much concern about where the parochiaid road
could lead us. Since "religious4 groups are difficult
to define, it is possible that many sects, racial or
even crackpot groups .could spring up to demand
funds under any aid law which might be passed.
Then there are those who oppose parochiaid
‘
because of their conviction that the state should
accept the direct responsibility to educate all
its children.
Parochiaid backets lost their attempt to begin
state aid to parochial schools last spring in the
Legislature, but they have promised to renew it.
That in itself should insure more heated debate
in the Legislature.

Provide safety aids
The swimming beach at Charlton Park is a bit
safer now due to the addition of a minimum life
saving station. On the beach is a new post with an
"Emergency Use Only" sign. Hanging on the frontof the post is an inflated inner tube donated by
Courthouse Gulf and painted a bright orange. A ttached to it is a long rope whose other end js secur
ed to the post. In the event of trouble in the water,
the tube may be thrown or carried out to victim
and pulled back in from shore. A weak swimmer
may use it to paddle out to someone in the water
without the risk to himself of trying to swim out
and pull the victim back to shore.
Also attached to the post for quick use is a long
wooden pole with.a rope loop at one pnd. This pole
may be used to reach out to someone in the water
to offer help without the would-be rescuer going
out to the victim himself and thus risk being pull
ed under by the victim. Like the tube, the pole is
painted bright orange.
The park authorities hope the station will never
need to be used, but want to have it available if
ever needed.
This season of year seems to bring more people
to the park to swim than for any other reason, par
ticularly in late afternoon. However, a few have
been seen swimming after dark. This is a very dan
gerous practice which, though not officially
against park rules, is to be discouraged. It is about
as dangerous as swimming alone which is also to
be discouraged. You are invited to enjoy yourself
with a swim, a picnic or a tour of the museum at
Charlton Park, but please bring at least one friend
and come before dark, if you plan to swim.

Contracts were signed Monday evening by the
Board of Education of the Maple Valley School dis

four teacher's aides, Mrs. Phyllis Frith, Mrs. Mar
jorie Shilton, Mrs. Natalie Gaedert and Mrs. Caro
lyn Trumble, and two cooks, Mrs. Barbara Gagne
and Mrs. Lois Gardner. The aides will assist the
teachers in the early elementary grades where there
is a heavy enrollment. ”

meetings have been held'with the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, the village officials and school. Some
corrections have been made. A flashing light at the
Reed Street crossing would solve some of the prob
lems, but it appears the cost would be prohibitive.
The school board and administration expect to meet
with the village council Thursday evening, Septem
ber 18, to review the problem. Another meeting with
the Public Service Commission is anticipated.
To encourage a closer relationship of school admin
istrators, teachers, other building representatives and
board members, monthly breakfasts are being plan
ned with the first one to be held in the high school
cafeteria Thursday, October 2, at 7:15 a. m./These
meetings will last one hour, but will give the school
personnel a chance to talk over matters which con

located in Nashville, wass built some 25 years ago.
The board gave Its approval for the groundwork
of coordinating a community program offering adult
classes, thus making better use of school facilities
throughout the year.
Present enrollment figures show there are 1, 905
students enrolled in the Maple Valley district, 833
in the junior-senior high school building. Last year
the figure was 1, 853. These figures could easily
vary somewhat before the official enrollment is ta
ken in October.
'
Detailed reports were given by Mrs. Iva Reed on
the Maplewood elementary building in Vermont
ville, Howard Yost on the Fuller Street and Kellogg
buildings id Nashville and Jim Wynes on the junior-:
senior building. Each gave praise to the custodial
department for the excellent condition of the build
ings. Some additional furniture could be added in
the elementary buildings, along with some play
ground equipment. The hot lunch program is not at
tracting too many students at the present time, but
this is expected to change when colder weather ar
rives. Some problems with mini bikes were reported.
The bus drivers will discuss bus rules and procedures
with the younger children before the week is over,
and fire drills are on the agenda.
On Thursday, September 11, will occur the first

Mr. Wynes reported that after the contract with
the Expressway League is ended Maple Valley will
join a league comprised of the Bellevue-Olivet,
Springport, Boys' Training School of Lansing, and
perhaps other schools in this area.
Special education forms for the past year's opera
tion have been filed with Eaton County office. Be
cause of a lower allowance in state aid appropria
tion in Special Education last year, the type "A"
room cost of operation will not be completely cov
ered by state and county reimbursements.
Forms on the remedial reading program for last
year have been filed as well as the annual statistical
report. Transportation forms for regular transporta
tion and special forms for the special education chil
dren transported by car to Charlotte have also been
completed.
Last week Thursday morning a car driven by Ran
dy Hummel ran into one of the new school busses on
Nashville Highway. The bus driver, Floyd Shilton,
was stopped and had just loaded the children on his
bus. Fortunately no one was injured in the accident.
The bus was damaged in the area near the left rear
wheels, but the damage was slight in comparison to
the car.
The football teams scrimmaged at Delton Sat
urday night, September 6. The opening varsity foot
ball game will oe played on the Nashville field Fri
day night, September 12, with Lakewood.
September 24 and 25 the State Conference for
school board members and superintendents will be
held in Detroit. Supt. Carroll Wolff plans to attend.
New lockers were installed in the junior-senior
building in time for the opening of schooL With the
addition this means only two students to a locker, in
stead of three.
At the Kellogg building the students are eating
lunch this year in the gymnasium. The serving line
is set up on the stage wnich makes some problems
with the children having to go up and down the
suits with the food. Also, there is' no possibility of
having a heating unit on the suge to help keep the
food warm. A glass protector (sneeze bar) protects
the food. The school is checking on better contain
ers to transport the food in to keep it warmer.
The board voted to purchase drapes to control the
light in some of the rooms at the Fuller Street Ele
mentary building on the south side of the north wing.
The area to be covered will be the glass blocks. The
teachers prefer the drapes instead ofpaint ing the
blocks, because at times they desire this additional
light in the rooms when they are no( using the audio
visual equipment. The cost will be $450 tor the dra
peries.
Mr. Wynes discussed briefly the athletic budget
and account as well as possible athletic scheduling
in the future.
Mr. Wynes has been named Athletic Director for
the year.
In other business the board approved the transfer
of the September 5 payroll to the payroll account

DEPARTMENT.
Vem Marshall was quite shocked the other day to
have a surprise visit from people out of the sky. It
wasn't a UFO but for a while Vem Idnda thought it
might be.
Vem was sitting in his house when he heard a
plane which sounded dam close. Just then he look
ed out his window and saw the plane only a hundred
or so feet off the ground. He ran out in the back
yard and watched the pilot of the airplane swing out
over his woods, turn and head in for a landing in the
field directly behind the Marshall hiuse. The pilot
did a fine job of sitting down. He/got it on the
ground, but before he had slowed the machine down
enough to keep it on the ground he hit a ridge in
the field and the plane was bounced right back into
the ait. By the rime it had come down for the sec
ond time, it had proceeded almost to the end of the
field. Tlie man flying the plane said he looked both
ways and could see there was no traffic on the road
so he proceeded right across the highway. On the

to a sudden stop, denting the body of the plane,
tearing a door off and bending the wing.
Vem ran over to give what aid he could
and
found that the passengers, the wife of the pilot and
their two children were not injured so he took them
back to his house and then helped the pilot move
the plane back into the field where it suyed until
a truck came to pick it up.
The man told vem that this is not the first time
he has come down in the neighborhood. Some time
ago be was up and got into some sort of a situation
where he had to come down. That time he landed
on Earl Gehman's landing strip.

George Vogt tells me that the windup of the Cen
tennial Celebration will be a potluck supper in the
cafeteria of the Maple Valley High School on Sat
urday. I hope there is a good turnout for this final
bit of business for the Centennial Committee. We
should all attend, pot just for all the good food and
the good time, but to let the committee know that
we appreciate what they have done for the village.
Our Centennial Celebration was a success because
the people on the cominittee worked hard and for
long
hours to insure success. So lets all get out to
the potluck for plenty of good food, some enter
tainment, including a dance and to let the commit
tee know that we appreciate all the work they have
done on the celebration.

A SPECIAL WELCOME TO THE SENIORS
The American Government classes viewed the
films "Indian Ceremonials" and "Henry Ford". The
one about our Indians showed that they honored and
respected tribal rules and customs even after the
many years of white man's domination. "Henry
Ford* showed one man's dream come true and now
his invention changed the face not only of America
but the world.
Sandy Foote brought us some beautiful magazines
showing interesting parts of blew Mexico.
David Slocum visited us for a minute. He is on
leave from N. Korea and is on his way to Viet Nam.
He said he had to see Communism in action before
he realized bow awful it is. People are slaves.
We are delighted to have Klaus-Peter Baungarten
in-our American Government class. He comes from
Hamburg, Germany and is staying at the Wayne
Pennock’s home.
One of our "No Smoking" posters says, "Don't
smoke. The lung you save might be your own. "
Our bulletin board is decorated wifn beautiful
colored pictures taken out West. Truly, America
is beautiful Will you help keep it that way?
The Seniors have learned The American Creed
by William Tyler Page. We hope we all make this
part of our philosophy.

STRAND
The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan,
DETROIT — One Michigan
creature that can afford to be
completely free of concern
about his color is the snowshoe
hare, points out Dr. William
Prychodko, of Wayne State
University’s biology depart
ment.
The Cieator made Sammy
Snowshoe both dark and light
alternately, and it suits his
needs perfectly. The white he
wears in winter and the brown
he puts on in summer both
protect him from his enemies.
Although thousands of these
hares are killed each year in
Michigan, surprisingly little is
known of the life and habits of
this sly, secretive animal
whose big white winter feet
gave him his common name,
says the Wayne mammalogist.
As in the case of several
other northern mammals, the
hair covering the body of this
animal is longer in winter than
in summer. Thus his foot cover
ing is not only different in color
but in size.
Snowshoes, like western
"jack rabbits," are true hares.
They differ from rabbits in
building no nests to receive
their litters of young, points
out Dr. Prychodko. Their
youngsters are born fully
furred with their eyes open,
Soon they are able to _____
move
about. The average showshoe
litter is three, much smaller
Thursday, September 11, 1969
than the average cottontail lit
ter of blind and naked babies.
The snowshoe is found in fair
abundance throughout the
upper two-thirds of the State,
shown in grey on the map. Un
like the cottontail rabb't, which
prefers bushy fence rows,
abandoned fields and other
farm-type cover, the snowshoe
prefers dense conifer swamps
and thickets. Often he ranges
the same area as the white
tailed deer.
Recently conservation offi
cials began bringing him into
certain areas of the (Southern
Lower Peninsula where they
felt the habitat was suitable for
his survival. In 1966 trans
planting efforts brought 49
Sammy and Susie Snowshoes
into the Gratiot-Saginaw State
Game Area where rabbits are
protected from hunters.
Twenty-nine snowshoes were
brought to the same area last
winter. It appears their off
spring are having no serious
problems in adjusting.
Still unexplained are the
snowshoes' periodic cycles of
abundance and scarcity. The
number of them shot by hunters
has ranged from 356,000 in 1964
to a- recent low of 192,000 in
1967. Generally speaking, the
hunting season for snowshoes
dovetails with small game
seasons in various areas of
the State.

To celebrate 100 years
Mirror
,
BY ELMER E. WHITE. SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
CHOLERA RETURNS
Hog cholera is a disease which is probabily unknown
to most urban residents.
Yet the dangers presented by it are so great that
both the federal government and state governments
across the country, including Michigan, are spending
money to try and eradicate it once and for alt
The disease has no effect itself on humans. Neither
does it bother any animals other than hogs. But it is
highly fatal to pigs and also is highly contagious.
There is no cure tor it.
, The danger it presents to both the rural economy
and, in the long run, to the nation's pork supply, has
prompted the joint state-federal effort to get rid of it.
In Michigan, the state veterinarian's office had
succeeded in securing a "hog cholera free” rating
for the state. It appeared the state's swine industry
might never have to worry about the disease again.
Then a case of cholera was reported on the James
Rentfrow farm near Jones July 12.
Rentfrow bad a total herd of 1,800 hogs worth
$61.000.
■
Since there is no cure for hog cholera and since it
is so highly contagious, state law requires that all
pigs on a farm on which it is discovered be slaught
ered and buried on the farm. The law also provides
that the state and federal government each will pay
the farmer half of what the hogs killed are worth.
Several days later, a farmer who was a good friend
of Rentfrow discovered bog cholera in his swine herd
and his 503 hogs Were killed, too. Officials had
expected the cholera to show up on the second farm.
'
They did not, however, expect it to hit a third
farm in the area. This happened a month after the
first farm was hit. The state veterinarian's office
said the virus apparently was carried to the third
farm by a vehicle which drove past the two farms
but never entered either one. That's how contagious
the disease is.
The outbreak was traced to an area near West .
Plains, Mo., a state which has not advanced as far
as Michigan in its cholera eradication program.
It remains to be seen, and it will be at least late
in September before officials can be sure, whether
the'outbreak has been stemmed in Michigan. And
though they may not be aware of the fact, urban
dwellers, in both the roles of taxpayer and of con
sumer, have a stake in stopping it.
/
SMOKING UP
Those frightening facts being uncovered about the
dangers involved in smoking cigarettes apparently
have little effect on Michigan smokers.
The sure treasurer's office says cigarette taxes in
Michigan brought in a record $81 million in tax
revenues last year. That's nearly $10 per resident.
And that averages about 150 packs per resident for
the year.
Tne increase was only a 1.19 percent increase
over the previous year, however, while the state's
population was estimated to have risen 1. 9 per cent
last year. So it's possible there was a slight decline
in the frequency of smoking.
If the Legislature follows the lead of other states
around the nation, it may become more expensive
to smoke in Michigan.
Of seven states which recently raised taxes, six
raised the cigarette tax. Connecticut now has the
highest tax in the country: a whopping 16 cents
per pack,
Michigan smokers pay the state 7 cents currently
for each pack of cigarettes they smoke. Though the
tax figures in the various states change rapidly, there
are at least 33 states which tax cigarettes more
heavily.
And at least 20 states charge 10 cents a pack or
more. After Connecticut's record high levy, Florida
charges 15 cents and New Jeisey charges 14 cents
per pack.
WALKING DANGEROUS
A little noted statistic in the breakdown of fatal
automobile accidents in Michigan last year is the
fact that nearly one third of the persons killed in
urban areas were pedestrians.
The State Police say 703 persons dies in urban
traffic accidents and that 486 of these were non
pedestrians with the remaining 217 on foot at the
time of the accident.
As expected, the percentage of those dying while
on foot in rural areas is much less, but the total,
173, was almost as high as the number of urban
pedestrians killed. This means a total of 390 of
Michigan's traffic fatalities last year were persons
who were on foot.
Pedestrians are much the same as motorcycle riders
when it comes to traffic accidents. If they are hit
by a car or truck there is nothing to cushion the blow.

on the Centennial amounted to approximately $6000.
Plans for improving Putnam Park had been accepted
by the Committee and the money earned was e a r marked for this purpose. Mrs. Brumm broke the re
port down into the various group activities during the

each project.

Chamber members urge
re-zoning Putnam Park
The regular meeting of the Nashville Chamber of
Commerce was held on Wednesday evening, follow
ing a dinner at the VFW Hall. George Vogt presided
at the business meeting.
A report was given by members of rhe Christmas
Decoration Committee regarding this year's plan for
securing more decorations for use during the Christ
mas season. The Chamber members voted to let the
Committee spend as much as $400 on decorations
this year if necessary.
Some discussion was held in regard to the need to
re-zone Putnam Park from residential to recreation
al. Money from the Centennial Celebration is to be
used to improve Putnam Park. In order to obtain Fed
eral funds to help along this project, the rezoning is
a necessity. Many persons signed a petition seeking
this rezomng which is to be presented to the Village
Council members.
Mr. Christiansen, in explaining some of the pos
sibilities for improving the Park and the surrounding
area as a recreational site, mentioned the possibil
ity of some overnight trailer spots, improving the
river for canoe use and also the possibility of a com
munity swimming pool on the site.
Members of a Planning Committee had been
appointed earlier by George Vogt and they were to
work out details for the use of the Centennial mon
ey. This group has representatives from many dif
ferent organizations which took part in the Centen
nial celebration. They include Bill Hecker, chair
man. and Harold Christiansen, Dale Maurer, Ger
ald Johnson. Wayne Pennock and Forrest Babcock.
Slides were shown by Mr. and Mrs. Fay Hummel
of Hastings and these were very much enjoyed by
the members and guests.

Robert W. Gierman of Portland, spoke at the Ea
ton County Historical Society meeting Thursday eve
ning, September 11 concerning the early Indians in
Michigan.
Six county localities were represented by the thir
ty-one members and friends of the society who met
in the Charlotte courthouse and attentively listened
as Mr. Gierman told that there were only 10 thous
and Indians in Michigan at the time the white man
came and there were never more than 15 thousand
here.
At one time a bounty of from S60 to $134 was
paid for an Indian's scalp. Chief Tecumseh fought
the white man and tried to protect his land until
1837.
■
Chief Okemos fought for the British in the battle
of Sanduskey in 1813. He was left for dead on the
battlefield and his body carried many battle scars.
That was his last fight; he pledged allegiance to the
United States.and was peaceful.
Smallpox killed two-thirds of them and fire-wa
ter demoralized them so the white man took their
land, acre by acre. The Ottawa and Chippewa
tribes were moved west of the Mississippi River by
Pres. Monroe and the Wyandottes were moved to
Mt. Pleasant by Pres. Harrison, so by 1860 there
were only a few left who had been hiding in the
woods.
•
Recordings of early personal stories were used by
Mt. Gierman which gave a vivid picture of pioneer
days and showed the Indians and especially Chief
Okemos to be dejected, helpless and bitter, which
is understandable.
The Petoskey Stone was named for Chief Petoskey,
and his granddaughter-in-law. Mary Jane Petoskey,
80, is still living.
Mr. Stewart Graham of Charlotte, president of
the Eaton County Historical Society, and Mr. Gier
man were Heap-Big-Chiefs who crossed the Mackin
ac Bridge by foot on Labor Day, in 90 minutes.
Refreshments served by Mr. and Mrs. John Dornan of Charlotte, completed a pleasant evening.

Sherman House
Downtown hotel turned cultural? Not quite, but we do have a
great new work of art.
Henri Azaz did a sculpture for our lobby. And when he creates—
he doesn’t kid around. We ended up—with a wall.
But not just any wall. Some people call it the Great Wall of
Shermarj House. Why not come see why?
And while you're there, stop in at any of our Nightspots—the
College Inn, Well of the Sea.The Scuttlebutt,The Celtic and the Dome.
So come to Sherman House for entertainment and fun. And
we'll throw in a little culture at no extra cost!

Middleville, with their scoring in every quarter,
overtook Maple Valley last Friday night by the score
of 44-6 in a league game.
Steve Sanderson started the Trojans on their way
with a five yard scoring run and Doug Keil made
the conversion. Keil then tallied the next two TDs
on runs of six and 35 yards and Howie Gregg ran the
conversion after the second score.
In the last quarter, Rick Kunde got the first of
three Middleville touchdowns when he dashed 46
yards with an intercepted pass. Keil again ran the
two-point conversion. Passes from Jack Baker to
Mike Rock completed the scoring.
In the Maple Valley scoring, a 4-yard run was
made by Ray Garyey. Outstanding offensive perfor

In passing, Winegar made 26 attempts with 15
completions for 180 yards and Dipert had eight re
ceptions for 129 yards.
The leading rusher was Lenny Ackett with 12 car
ries for 46 yards. Outstanding defensive performan
ces were made by Ralph Myers, defensive end, Ray
Garvey, linebacker and Mike Kenyon, taCkle.
"Although the score does not indicate so, we did
improve over our opening game against Lakewood,"
coach Lenz commented. "Our attitude towards hit
ting improved and the general spirit of the team
wjs much better.
We will spent the entire week trying to generate*
a ground attack to go with our passing game. "
The next game will a game with Waylahd (away)

backstreet barometer
With the death of Vic Higdon, a little bit of
Nashville has died. Vic probably saw as many peo
ple in Nashville each day. and probably as many
people saw Vic as anyone in the town. For years,
when Vic had his jewelry store in Makers Super
market, he talked to almost everyone who went
past. It became somewhat of a routine of mine and
of many other people's to stop and pass the time of
day with Vid, while waiting at the check-out
■
counter.
,
When Vic moved his shop down the street into
the. old Beedle Insurance office, people would
then go out of their way to talk to Vic. He was al
ways good for a funny^tory, a bit of small talk, or
sometimes the latest news, but he did not indulge
in gossip. Vic worked hard and long hours and Ot
ten at nine-thirty or ten o'clock, sometimes even
later, his light was on and he was always happy to
have a passerby stop in for a few words.
Vic will be missed. Vic was abitoftbe small
town friendliness that goes with Nashville and he
will be long remembered.
Several families, right at this time of year, are
going through the earth-shaking experience of hav

LETTERS
TO THE
Mich.
14.1969
,
To the Editor,
It seems to me every time decent citizens try to
promote decency in this county, some very stupid
eager-beavers start yelling, "John Birch. ” Well.
I'm -not a Bircher, neither do I know too much a
bout them, but this I do know, they are fighting for
decency and good government the same as a’-l de
cent Americans who love their country, should be
doing.
I've seen many people stand up to pledge alle glance to the flag of me United States of America
and I wonder when they itand there with one hand
on their heart, just what thoughts go through their
minds as they speak those very solemn words or if
they are just merely mouthing the words because
they were told to. As I speak the words, "One na
tion under God, indivisible, with liberty and jus
tice for all, " I still feel a thrill, but also a sadness
too, to think some individuals are trying to degrade
our flag, and divide our country. How much more
undivided can we be than we are right now?
Our children's morals are being destroyed and
dragged in the njjre by an unscrupulous bunch. This
is being done by the means of "Sex Education."
Children being told by those such as Doctor Mar
golis, parents are all stupid. The results of this
program being more unwed mothers and more ve
nereal disease and more moral decay. Filthy mov
ies being allowed to flourish right out in public.
What a pleasant sight to be out for a drive and see
ing a bunch of nude adults parading raw sex for
all to see. Adult movies, but not too particular if
the younger set gets inside, what aren't inside can
see from the outside. Even filthy films for the kin
dergarten. Oh yes, our libraries have plenty of
juicy reading also.
What 1 would like to know is this, how can any
one be so ignorant as to call those of us who are
fighting for decency, extremist.
If you are good citizens and can see the e v il
being done, then for God's sake and our own
sakes, have the guts to stand up and be counted.
Write letters, join some of these groups, do some
thing before it's too late. I'd rather stand up and
speak my mind and be called a Bircher, (at least
not a Communist) than to sit on my britches, belly
aching. If you want a country thats indivisible
with liberty and justice for all, tl u» you'd better
get busy and fight for it.

perience is earth-shaking. I know because we have
ing and the hustle and bustle of getting him away
has almost exhausted the test of the family. W e
realize, as other families must, that this is at
least the first step in breaking away from the home
ties. Perhaps it is even more than that; it might
be the complete break. In any event, it changes
the structure of the family, it changes the philos
ophy of the family, and in our case, it changes
the allocation of bedrooms.
All things change and change is good for us, 1
guess. As soon as Chris had checked into his dor
mitory. he received a message that already he
had had a telephone calL Kermit Douse, who was
living in another dorm, had called to ask Chris to
eat with him. They adjust fast.
Mornings are white with haze and its a couple
of hours after sunrise before the sun is able to burn
through the fog and visibility is not anywhere near
good. This happens in autumn. It is just one of
those things. You know you're going to have to
drive just a little bit more carefully and little
slower with conditions as they are. Along with the
haze of autumn, though, comes the beautiful re
fraction of the sunlight that gives us the unusual
red colors. One of these days, the area's many
maple trees will start to turn color and then be
fore you know it, the whole woods is ablaze and
then winter is upon us. But, as the poet says, can
spring be far behind? I hope not.

�Michigan readies to show fall colors
Autumn in Michigan is a time of sensory treats
when the days grow shorter and the first hint of frost
touches the low lying lands, when the smell of wood
smoke fills the night air and when the sun rises and
sets like a huge copper disk shining through the au
tumnal haze. Autumn is that wonderful time of the
year when nature takes the colors that proclaim the
turn of the season and projects them, making a
’
polychrome light show that illuminates the entire
state.
Prom past experience the show can be expected
to start sometime late in September or early Octo
ber in the upper
ipper peninsula, and jt should continue
through late: October or early November in the
southern pan of the lower peninsula.
ininsula. The display of
color generally moves southward at a rate of about
one hundred miles in two weeks.
Starting at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula
and moving southward, nature flashes colors ram
pantly and with a bold hand, leaving the more than
19 million acres of Michigan forests a spectacular
and resplendent myriad of hues. Indiscriminate in
her use of gay colors, nature takes little note of
man-made rules that certain colors clash and should
not be used together. She mixes the red and bright
gold of the maples with the cool green of the neigh-
boring pines, and to this she adds the yellow aspens,
scarlet sumac and burnished golden oaks.
The staghorn sumac generally leads the color
show, turning a brilliant red before most other fo
liage starts to change. The soft maples also domin
ate the autumn picture with warm red hues. The
hard maples contribute a bright yellow to the sym
phony of color.
Autumn brings a climax of color magic, spread
ing through the wide variety of trees native
to
Michigan. With more than 85 species of hard and
softwood trees, more than any other state, Michi
gan enjoys its image as America’s autumn show
place. More and more visitors are discovering the
joys of a Michigan autumn vacation when accom
modations are often available at between-season
rates, the highways are less congested, and when
Indian summer can be savored and enjoyed.
Michigan's network of freeways are ideal corri
dors for getting the viewer to his area of general in
terest. Much color may be seen from the freeway,but the real connoisseur will want to take to the
byways, where the joy of the discovery of chromat
ic beauty awaits the viewer.
Color touts have been plotted through many sec
tions of special beauty. Local communities through
out the state are well equipped with information
and directions to assist the traveler in selecting i
tineraries for color tours in their areas. Chambers
of Commerce and other civic organizations in many
- communities have marked roads and trails with
signs directing the color- seeking traveler to par
ticularly scenic areas.
While viewing the colorful foliage through the
window of a car may be the most popular method,
it certainly is not the only way to go. Bus touts
have been arranged in some areas and color cruis
es are offered on many of Michigan's more than
11, 000 inland lakes and 36,000 miles of rivers and
streams. Conducted tours allow the color to be
viewed in relaxing comfort. Passengers on the wa
ter trips not only see the original colorful foliage,
but they get a color bonus in the reflection from
the cool, blue water. Most canoe liveries offer ad
vice and directions for color trips by canoe.
'
Walking and horseback trails offer special r e wards to those who would spend time leisurely wan
dering through the woods and along the shorelines.
No matter wnat the mode of transportation, a pause
for an autumn picnic is always most welcome.
Fall is a capricious season, subject to sudden
change. In one night wind and rain can strip the
leaves from the trees, leaving bare branches where
only yesterday a profusion of garish foliage q?fj£ted.
Contacting the local chamber of commerce
for
the latest color information could avoid disappoint
ment.
The Michigan Autumn Color Tour Guide, pub
lished and distributed by the Michigan Tourist
Council, includes maps and directions for 24 color
tours in both peninsulas. The tours are routed to
include such interesting points as abandoned mines,
ghost towns, waterfalls, lakes and river, which
serve as subjects for the autumn color photographer.
Copies of the publication are available free of
charge from the Michigan Tourist Council, Ste
vens T. Mason Building, Lansing 48926.

and grief. Their own efforts
to live with nearly constant
death...must in large measure
have arisen out of a desire to
help'the stricken families and
bring a little comfort in a
material way. We are glad
.they are at hand.”

Maple Valley came from behind to bring W ay land down to defeat in last Friday's football game.
MV was down 19 to 0 at one time in the game
and down 19-8 at half-time.
In the fiat half scoring a 3-yard run by quarter
back Larry Winegar and the extra point was a 3yard sweep by Gene Heaton.
The second half scoring came on a 22-yard run
by Gene Heaton in the third quarter. The extra
point failed.
Wayland fumbled the kickoff after the TD re
covery by MV. On the fint play after the fumble
Larry Winegar hit Randy Hummel with a 41-yard
scoring strike to put the Lions ahead. Hummel
threw a halfback pass to Gary Skidmore for the ex
tra point,
Maple Valley completely dominated the second
half. The MV defensive unit held Wayland to only
39 total yards in the second half while the offense
rolled up 181 total yards. Tailback Gene Heaton
led the second half surge with 84 yards rushing.
The passing combination of Larry Winegar to Dan
Dipert continued to be very effective. Dipert caught
seven passes for a total of 80 yards. Adding to the
effectiveness of the passing attack was Randy Hum
mel who had 4 receptions for 72 yards. Winegar end
ed the game with 12 completions in 16 attempts for
162 yards.
Although the win over Wayland was certainly a
team effort, there were several outstanding individ
ual performances. On defense the work of Ray Gar
vey, tackle, and Ralph Myen, tackle, were Key
factoB in the tremendous second half defensive ef
fort by the Lions.
Offensively the running of Gene Heaton and the
passing of Larry Winegar was outstanding, Heaton
made 93 total yards. In addition the emire offen
sive line made up of Steve Priddy, Leon Beebe,
Ralph Myea, Steve Cates, Mike Kenyon and Gary
Skidmore put forth a very fine effort.
Coach Lenz said. "I am very pleased with the
progress of the Lions thus far. I feel that the secondnalf effort put forth by the boys at Wayland
may be the turning point m our season. In addition
we have several boys who have been out with i n juries who should be ready for this Friday's home
coming game with Fulton-Middleton that will help
give us depth."

At'one
time—during
the game a Washii
er was hit hard enough to nave the wind locked
out of him. As he walked about In the middle o f
the field all bent over and holding his middle a fel
low somewhere behind us shouted at him, "don't
you dare throw up on the new carpet. "
The crowd was as small as I have ever seen at a
game at Ann Arbor. They said there were 47, 000
people in the stands, but they did not even start to
fill the stands. Come to think of it, that is
less
than half the capacity of the stadium.
I was talking to a feUow about the new carpeted
playing field and be told me that he bad been to a
meeting of a carpet manufacturer who claimed that
within a few years they would be selling carpeting
for the yards of ordinary homes. Much easier to keep
up than a regular lawn and it always looks mowed.
I guess you would have to get a big vacuum cleaner
to go over it every once in a while.
Another thing that is coming in the near future,
they say, is the less than 5-day work week. Right
now the steel workers are trying to get a four-day in
their new contract. They say this would spread the
work out, make less unemployment and it will give
the workers a little more time at home.
Not too long ago I heard an expert on public re
creation say that within the next ten years we would
be to the three-day work week. That would make
the weekend really worth while. I'll drink to that.
A sociologist claims that this trend toward a shorter
work week will save the American home. He also
thinks it will start a trend toward small town and rur
al living. This fellow is of the opinion that when a
person only has to work three days of the week, he
will be willing to commute farther than he would if
he had to do it every Monday through Friday as we
do now. He thinks people wul work in the cities but
will live in small towns and in the country.
Perhaps this is what is in store for Nashville and
Vermontville and other small towns like them. May
be this is what is in store for us.
I was up to Gaylord the other day and was shock
ed at the way that town has changed. Someone has
got the entire town pulling together and they have
made a Bavarian village of the entire town. AU it
takes is some direction and a bit of enthusiasm and
a town can do wonders. Gaylord is fast becoming the
largest ski area in the entire mid-west.

we must obey them until we are able to have them

Sociology saw a film about "Heredity and Enviomment." It was loaned to us by Kent State Uni

Mr. Wolff ordered us fifty books on "You and

Animal Shelter gets
support of citizens
Phone calls received by the Eaton County Humane
Society this past week have given them assurance
that their group will have the backing of the Eaton
County people in their attempt to manage the ani
mal shelter, according to Ozelma Shance, presi
dent of the society.
,
During the past two weeks she has talked to peo
ple in different areas and found that the majority of
folks want the humane element present in their ani
mal shelter like it is in most other Michigan coun
ties.
This includes a humane way of animal control and
the disposal of unwanted animals.
As a result of her findings of the poeple’s wishes,
she prepared and circulated petitions which read;
To the Eaton County Supervisors;
We, the undersigned residents of Eaton County
do not want surplus animals from the Eaton County
Animal Shelter sold to dealers, universities or lab
oratories to be used for research purposes.
Anyone who has not seen the petition, but wants
his wishes known, should write to his supervisor or
Kathryn Bosworth, county clerk, at once.
As Dr. Wm. Trumble, state veterinarian said,
" Eaton County has a nice shelter, but it is smalL "
"The county is growing fast. More room is
needed at the animal shelter, as well as more help,"
Mrs. Shance agreed, when they discussed necessary
improvements.

ere such items as "rapid acceleration, squealing
tires, swaying from side to side, unnecessary and
excessive changing of lanes, and unreasonably loud
and unnecessary noise from the engine or exhaust.
Village president Harold Christiansen will con
tact Williams & Works, engineers of Grand Rapids,
asking them to have figures ready as soon as pas
sible of costs of extending water and sewer lines.
The council discussed at length some changes
concerning apartment houses and ocher "two-ormore-family" dwellings in regard to water and
sewer charges. Presently only one meter covers
many of these dwellings. Steps will probably b e
taken whereby each apartment will be charged in
dividually, thereby bringing more money into the
water and sewer departments.
Nashville Police Chief Kendal .. W ilcox report
ed that since the last council meeting the police
cruiser has traveled 1,733 miles, using 173. 8 gal
lons of gas; the department had issued traffic
tickets for three moving violations; several illegal
parking tickets; policed one accident, and investi
gated
reports on three stolen bicycles. The de
partment also answered several other minor com
plaints. The cruiser has been equipped with two
new tires, and the brakes have been adjusted. Bids
have gone out for a new police cruiser. These are
to be returned by October'21, to be reviewed by
the council.
The council voted to repair the steps at the Put
nam Public Library and replace some broken win
dows, and in addition to paying the Tegular bills
approved paying $500 to the Fire Board.
Tim Smith, Supt. of Public Works was at the
meeting to discuss several items including work
on one of the pumps at the filter plant; the con
dition of a pickup truck, a sewage problem on
Kellogg Street, and other items of importance to
the village. He also discussed extending water and
sewer lines to the Robert Betts building on Maple
Street which Mt. Betts is remodeling for a p a r t meats. Permission for the extensions was granted.
the village of Nashville, will be asked by the v i 1 lage council to draw up a new division for Nash
ville's Zoning Code concerning
since the present code does not include such rulings.
The need for such action came at Thursday nighti
council meeting following a request by the Cham
ber of Commerce to rezone Putnam Park as recre
ational area. The Chamber, which was the sponsor
' ing body for the Centennial activities, has approx
imately $6, 000 they would like to use in develop
ing some ideas for Nashville. Possibilities might
include overnight trailer space, improving Thorn
apple River near the park for canoe use’and com
munity swimming pooL The Chamber has appoint
ed a Planning Committee from several local organ
izations to further the plans, and would seek feoeral aid providing the proper requirement can be met.
Following the adoption of the recreational code,
the council would then set a date for a public hear
ing at which time the various ideas would be pre sented for discussion.
The Rev. Earl Frost of the Church of the Nazarene was present to discuss the Fuller Heights de
velopment in the west part of the village. The
church developed the Heights, then turned it over
to the village. Rev. Frost’s concern centered on
one house wnich was started over a year ago, and
according to the rules and regulations set up by the
Fuller Heights Development group, any residence
started must be painted and the yard graded within
the first year. Tne owner has not complied with
this requirement, and the appearance is disturbing
to others in the Heights, and is hampering the
sale of other lots. The house in question n owned
by Richard C. Wert who has moved to Lansing. The
council voted to have the Zoning Adminstrator,
Justin Cooley, take legal steps on the issue.

�ft wasn’t too long ago that sawdust, bark, and wood chips
were considered waste in mill operations.
Today, they
face a big future for a wide variety of uses in Michigan
which could turn their disposal into a multimillion-doilar
industry, reports the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR). In breaking through the waste barrier to give
sawmill operators a new profit-making edge, these by
products are gaining popularity for their use among home
and cottage owners, campground enterprisers, horse and
cattle raisers, and landscape architects. The reasons are ’
many. Bark and sawdust do an excellent job of reducing
weed growth and holding moisture around plants (Photo
#1); they stabilize soil that tends to blow or wash away
(Photo 112); they provide a good surface and hold down
dust problems around playgrounds, on trails, and in other
high-use areas where it is hard to grow grass (Photo #3)>
they make excellent bedding for cattle and horses (Photo
#4); they can be used as landscape material in place of
grass or crushed stone, In marketing this material at
modest prices to serve so many uses, sawmill operators
are able to reduce the amount they have to burn. This is
a good stroke of business both in curbing air pollution
and wood disposal costs. DNR foresters brand as "untrue”
any talk about these materials being toxic to the soil.
The DNR’s Forestry Division in Lansing has a list of all
Adult students wanted
Charles Porter, Lakewood Adult Education Super
visor stated that a good number of adults are show

The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Michigan, Thursday. October 2, 1969
�George Hanson is guest
■
speaker at Vermontville
George Hamon, Dean of Olivet College, was
guest speaker at the Vermontville Hiatoncal Society
meeting held Wednesday evening, September 24, in
the Griswold Room of the Congregational Church.
His talk related the story of a million dollar dream
that failed. The story of a railroad, designed to run
from .Coldwater to Marshall, was extended to con
tinue in a northerly direction, and was to eventually
reach Mackinaw City.
Mr. Hanson started his study of the course the rail
road was to take back in 1948 and he has spent many
bouts covering the area as well as extensive research
of maps and other materials. The proposed railroad
was the dream of A. L. Green who felt so strongly
that the railroad would be a success that he was able
to sell stock amounting to something like
$1.200, 000. According to facts, Mr. Hanson was
able to gather, Mr. Green died while the grading
was being done in the
Muir area. Reportedly the
son took over, but the big dream A. L. Green strug5led with, starting in 1869 and continued through
874, apparently died with him, and had the rail
road developed, the changes that might have taken
place in the development of the many towns and ,
cities along the route is only speculation. Some of
the grades for the track have been leveled over the
years, but a few may still be seen. The best time
is right after a light snow storm, and one that is par
ticularly visable is just south of Vermontville near
the bridge on the west side of the road. .
Ray Anderson, a long-time resident of Vermont
ville, and a person deeply interested in the history
of his hometown and of Nashville as- well, read a
most interesting history of.these two communities.
This may be found elsewhere in the Maple Valley
News this week.
A carry-in dinner preceded the program Wednes
day evening, and Mrs. Barbara Wright, president-of
the Historical Society, conducted a brief business
meeting. She stated that the church and the chapel
have been accepted as Historic Landmarks in Michi
gan, the chapel for its cultural background, and the
church for its architecture.
r
.
She also announced that a special business meet
ing was scheduled for September 30, at 7:30 p. m.
when several items of importance concerning the
Historical Society would be taken care of.
Some time ago the society collected together all
of the old Vermontville newspapers and had them
microfilmed by the Michigan State Library. These
rolls of film were presented to Mrs. Mildred Allen,
librarian ar the Vermontville Public Library. A Sec
ond set of films is being filed in the State Library.
Mrs. Wright asked everyone present at the dinner
meeting to introduce himself and during the intro
ductions it was learned that four persons in the
group were bom in log cabins, Mrs. Robert Childs,
Mrs. Roy Mathews, Kenyon Peabody and Cecil Weyant.
The teachers of the Maple Valley school district
had been invited to attend the meeting as special
guests, in order that they might become better ac
quainted with the history of Nashville and Vermont
ville.
At the close of the meeting a majority of the
guests retired to the Chapel which has recently been
papered and other work*done by volunteers from the
Historical Society.

Information given about the
background of this area
A condensed story of the settlement of both Ver
montville and Nashville for the benefit of the new
teachers of the Maple Valley School System, at a
meeting of the Vermontville Historical Society held
in the Griswold Room of the Congregational Cnurch,
Sept. 24th. 1969.
Compiled and read by Ray Anderson.
The object of this meeting is to acquaint the new
teachers with the historical background of both Ver
montville and Nashville. In as much as the schools
from both communities are now consolidated into
the Maple Valley School System and teachers are
assigned to schools in both villages, Twill attempt
to give you a quick rundown on both towns, and to
you that are further interested, you can find more
detailed information in both the Vermontville and
Nashville public libraries.
In October 1829, both Eaton and Barry Counties,
among others, were formed by an act passed by
the Legislative Council of Michigan. It was about
this time that there began an influx of settlers into
this area, most of them with the idea of not only
making new homes for themselves, but also better
ing themselves financially, for there was at this
time the beginning of a land boom in Michigan which
would, hopefully, increase the value of their holdings.
Nashville developed along these lines starting in
the 1830’s, when land was purchased from the Fed
eral Government in 1836 and held for speculation.
In those days water power was a necessity, for the
early settlers needed both saw and grist mills to
take care of their most vital needs; so eventually
the Thornapple River was dammed and a saw mill
erected in 1855 on the north side of the river just
west of the present bridge on North Main Street.
Later on a grist mill was erected on the opposite
side of the river, which still stands and is in every
day use. Water power was used in this mill until
just a few years ago.
Most of the early settlers in the Nashville area
came'from Vermont, Ohio and New York, gradually
building up the community. The village was platted
in 1865 and was named after a Mr. Nash, who was
the chief engineer of the Grand River Valley Rail
road which was opened for use in 1868-69. The
Vermont background is reflected in the naming of
Castleton township, in which Nashville is partially
located.
Vermontville on the other hand, was a definitely
planned colony before the group ever left. Vermont.
Very few settlements were founded in this manner,
hence it's unique background. They not only wanted
a congenial group of the same religious beliefs.
Congregational, nut I am sure they also had the
same ideas in mind that other emigrants had, namely,
they might make a little money on the Western lands
that were then being opened up for purchase and
settlement.
I quote from Deacon S. S. Church, one of the
original founders of Vermontville: "In the fall of
1835, the Reverend Sylvester Cochrane, a Congre
gational Minister of East Poultney, Vt., visited
Michigan with a view of locating permanently.
He found the settlement so sparse that it was quite
difficult at that time to find" inhabitants contiguously
located, so as to have schools or to enjoy religious
privileges remote from the villages. He returned to
Vermont, conceived the plan of colonization, and
began preparations to execute his project. He visited
dinerent places in the State, and conferred with
those persons wishing to emigrate. Early in the
winter of 1835-36 a meeting was held in East Poult
ney, Vermont, which quite a large number of persons,
intending to emigrate attended. Mr. Cochrane's
plan was discussed, and initiatory steps taken to
mature and perfect the enterprise. Sunsequent meet
ings were held in Castleton, Vt, and on the 27th
day of March 1835, laid out rules and regulations
of the “UNION COLONY"; part of the pre»mble
stating, 'We therefore form ourselves into an as
sociation, or colony, with the design of removing
into some pan of the western country which shall
hereafter be designated, and agree to bind our
selves to observe the following rules.' These rules
will be found complete as listed in the "Rules and
Regulations of the Union Colony. " At this time I
will not attempt to go further in detail, but to you
who wish further information on its organization
and settlement, you will find all information with
a complete list of the names, addresses and occu
pations of its members in the book "History of Ing
ham and Eaton Counties" by Samuel W. Durant.also Mr. Edw. W. Barber's book on Vermontville,
which is most interesting, as he grew up with Ver
montville. Both of these books are in the public li
brary in Vermontville.
Subsequent to this meeting a committee was sent
to Michigan to locate a plot of unsettled and unde
veloped land for a townsite. This they did, survey
ed it and named it Vermontville, after their home
state. Soon thereafter the settlers left their homes
in Vermont and started for Michigan to build and
develop their new homes. The first settiters arriving
in the fall of 1836, finding temporary shelter in a
community log cabin which had been erected for
their use, untu they could build a cabin of their
own. Again let me refer you to Mr. Barber's book,
in which he gives a very interesting account of how
the village developed from that beginning.
In as much as the teachers are our guests this
evening, 1 wish to dwell a little more fully on it's
cultural and educational background. Article 6 of
the agreement drawn up befdre leaving Vermont
reads, "And we do also agree that for the benefit
of our children and the rising generation, we will
endeavor as far as possible, to carry with us, and
perpetuate among us the same literary privilages
that we enjoy here. " Amid all the hardships of
pioneer life they did not forget the vow made in
Vermont and so they promptly set out providing
educational facilities that would carry on the
Vermont traditions. Again I quote from Deacon
S. S. Church; "The first school was in the summer
of 1838, in a private house. In the fall a log school
house was ^erected in which school was regularly
taught from 3 to 4 months in summer by a female
teacher, and the same time, in winter by a male
teacher. In 1843 the population had so increased
that an academical association was organized and
materials procured to build an academy to answer
the double purpose of Academy and Church. In the
fall of 1844, the upper story was completed and
the Rev. W. U. Benedict, the pastor of the church
taught a school 4 months in the fall of 1844-45,
in which higher English Branches and also languages
were taught. " I now quote from Mr. Edw. W. Bar
ber's book on Vermontville, who should know as
he attended school in the academy under Rev. W.
U. Benedict; " The old Academy was a well con
ducted and popular institution while under the
charge of Rev. Benedict, and scholars attended it
from various parts of Eaton County and from
Battle Creek for several winters. "A handbill for
the winter term of 1849 has been preserved and is
worth reproducing here.
"VERMONTVILLE ACADEMY"
The winter term of this institution will commence
under the Superintendence of Rev. W. U. Benedict.
Mr. Benedict's success as a teacher hitherto, and
the location of this Institution, removed from every
thing that tends to divest the students mind and draw
off his attention from his studies, renders this a
desirable Institution for those who wish to make
improvement. The terms of tuition are:
For common Eng. Branches $2. 50 per quarter
For common Branches
$3. 00 per quarter
For Languages
$3. 00 per quarter
With a small charge for incidental expenses.
Board can be obtained at from $1. 00 to $1. 25 a
week.
School was conducted in the Academy until 1870
when a new brick building was erected for that pur
pose, which was used until a few years ago when
it was demolished to make way for the present
Maplewood Elementary school building.
There have been a number of students of both the
Old Academy, and of our public schools who have
gone forth from both our communities to gain prom
inence in both the educational and business world.
Some of those from Vermontville who attended the
Academy were:
Edw. W. Barber, Publisher & Editor of the Jack
son Citizen Patriot.
Edw. P. Church. Head of our State School for
the Blind.
Dr. Jos. B. Griswold, Eminent inState Medical
Schools.
Frank Davis, helped survey the Northern Pacific,
Panama Isthmus Railroads, ana a route over the Andes.
Henry Matin, a nationally known music critic.
Dr. Kedzie, an early president of Michigan
Agricultural College.
Others of a later period;
Rev. Chas. McKenny, who became president of
Ypsilanti State Normal College.
Zella Allen, head of Seattle Parental School,
Seattle, Wn.
Dorr Demeray,. President of Seattle Pacific
College, Seattle. Wn.
1 think the one person that brought the mon prom
inence to the old Nashville system was Homer Gribben.
While Mr. Gribben was connected with one of the
large New York Advertising agencies, he was the
one who thought up, and developed, none other
than the Bordon Company's "ELSIE THE COW" who
dominated the Borden ads for many years.
I hope this rather sketchy outline will create an
interest on your part to invenigate further, and in
form yourselves so you will have a better undemand
ing of the Historical and 'Educational backgrounds
of our two communities which make up the Maple
Valley School System, and will inspire you to kelp
carry forward the tradition of good education from
our two communities.

Gladys Richardson was telling me the other day
about her grandson who went to a new cottage for
a visit. This place was so new that they did not have
the plumbing finished so they had a little house out
behind the place, just like tney did in the olden
days. When the little fellow announced he bad to
go, his mother pointed him toward the backhouse
and sent him on his way. When he came back he
was delighted to tell his mother that these people
must be very rich because they had an entire house
devoted to nothing but a bathroom.
I heard the other day about the fellow who saw a
load of sod going down the road. "Boy, " he said,
"there is real wealth for you... that fellow is so
rich he can afford, to send his ---------------- *------- '*
Then there is the other one about the fellow who
kidnapped a rich kid and then sent him home with
a ransom note.
Jim Wynes, our new principal, is not too cooper
ative. In the past I have had a good rapport with
principals. I always made it a point to miss the
first picture of the principal kissing the homecom
ing queen and then would ask for a re-run. They
have always been most anxious to do as I requested.
Not Jim though. I asked him to kiss the queen a
gain for the camera and he said, "No, they will
think I'm a masher. “ I should have let hipi take
the picture while I kissed thequeen.

People are talking about color tours this time
of year. The communities in the northern part of
the state are telling how beautiful the woods are in
their areas.
Folks around here do not have to go that far to
see real beauty in the woods. Look right to our
own streets in Nashville, or go over to Vermont
ville and drive the short distance from the railroad
crossing to downtown. The colors are beautiful
LETTERS
TO THE
EDITOR
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Nashville Volunteer Fire Department has
been doing a wonderful job of fire fighting and fire
prevention besides the ambulance and many p ro motions for the benefit of the residents of Nash
ville and surrounding country. They are to be truly
commended by the residents.
October 5 to 12 has been designated as Fire Pre
vention Week and I hope all restdents will take
every precaution in their burning of leaves and
rubbish.
Harold Christiansen, president
Village of Nashville
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Once more it is fall and our countryside is filled
with the beauty of the glorious colors of Mother Na
ture. Yet it issort of a sad time, too, for we realize
that the fun of the summer and the lovely flowers
will soon be gone.
I, too, am filled with mixed emotions. The joy
of the work, fun and success of our Centennial cele
bration. Yet I, too, feel somewhat sad to know that
it is all over. I have so enjoyed working so closely
with so many people and the many various organi
zations in such a cooperative spirit. I feel that
there has been more "togetherness" in our commun
ity than for a great many of years.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with the guys on
the steering committee and with our officers —
they were a grand group to work with and for.
Words are inadequate to express my sincere grat
itude to each and everyone of you, and especially
to those who were responsible for presenting me
with the lovely painting as a gift. This is particul
arly fulfilling to me as this was my church for twen
ty-three years, jny parents' church for fifty years
and my grandparents' church all <rf their lives. This
gift I shall surely cherish all of my life for several
reasons.
Once more, "thank
to each and
everyone, and may our
y
spirit remain alive.

Michigan Mirror
BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Anyone wondering why Michigan property owners
have been complaining about their property taxes?
The questions are answered by figures which came
out of the state treasurer's office.
The records show property tax payments foe
for 1969
reached the $1. 5 billion mark this year. That's
a jump of 14.46 per cent over last year alone.
And the department says property tax collections
have risen 99 percent over the 'past 10 yehrs.
The figures also show schools, which are receicing
more and more state money every year, also taking
a bigger bite of the property tax revenues.
In 1967, 56. 34 per cent of all property tax col
lections in the state went for schools. That figure
jumped to 58.23 per cent last year and to 60. 94
per cent this year. The percentage of the tax
received by cities, counties, townships and villages
was down slightly at the same time.
Soaring property taxes received a great deal of
attention in the hearings held earlier this year by
the Governor's Commission on Educational Reform.
Witness after witness said the state must come
up with a different source for school finances. The
source most often mentioned was the state income
tax.
The Governor himself has said the state role in
education "must be stronger and much more vital"
than it is now. This presumably would include more
state support for schools than ever before.
Michigan already leads most states in the percent
age of school money which comes from the state.
A recent survey by the National Education Assoc
iation showed that only 52. 6 percent of school
fending in Michigan comes from local sources. This
compares with 69.2 per cent in Wisconsin, 66. 7
per cent in Illinois and 64. 9 per cent in Ohio.
The Secretary of State's office is suspending drivers
licenses at a rate nearly double that of a‘year ago.
Secretary of State James M. Hare says the hike
is the result of a new law which requires suspensions
of drivers licenses belonging to persons who do not
take care of tickets they receive for driving offenses.
In all of 1968, Hare's office suspended or revoked
a total of 60, 520 drivers licenses for various periods
of time. By the end of the first six months of this
year, hjs office already had lifted 51, 000 licenses
for varying times.
Hare said the new law is responsible for 17, 000
of the suspensions and added, ’'The pace is picking
up."

Tbat much-maligned group in the driving public,
the 25 and under category, has received another
damaging report from the Michigan State Police.
Drivers under 25 make up 21 per cent of the driving
public. Yet last year, police records show, they
accounted for 38 percent of all drivers involved in
accidents. The same group accounted for 36 per
cent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes.
Records show youthful drivers are the most frequent
victims of traffic death. Of the 2, 388 persons who
died on Michigan streets and highways last year,
770 of them were in the 15-24 age group.
"Although they may seem to be unduly criticized,
drivers under 25
the available facts establish
years of age as an extraordinary
high risk group, "
exit.—
said State Police Director
Direc
Fredrick E. Davids.
"If the only assets required for safe driving were
skills, reflexes and automotive knowledge, the aver
age young driver could teach his elders, Davids
- said. " Instead, young drivers seem to provide proof
that one's life style and driving style are inseparable.
Since youth is a time of impulse, testing and com
petition, that stage of driving and its consequences
are increasingly tragic on both the state and national
scale."
Among other facts included in the report was the
statistic that 81 per cent of all bicycle.deaths occur
to children under the age of 15.
•
It took 48 years to accomplish it, but North
Carolina has finally imposed a cigarette tax, mak
ing it the 50tb state to do so.
Iowa was the first state to impose such a tax back
in 1921. The other states have fallen in line one by
one until North Carolina was the lone holdout.
But rising expenses finally forced the lawmakers
there to turn to tobacco for money, and they levied
a two cents per pack tax.
Michigan levies a tax of seven cents per pack.

The Truth Generally Lies Under the Surface
The true facts about anything
are seldom pure and never simple.
Facts often are deeply hidden, like
the seven-eighths of an iceberg
which always lie under water.
When your newspaper reporter
says to the mayor, • or the school
superintendent, or the chief of po
lice, “May I ask you a question or
two?” he is really “diving” for
facts. He hopes to bring to the
light of day other related names,
figures, or relationships which will
tell his readers a fuller story.
Good newspapers, good news
papermen constantly dive, dig, and
probe beneath the appearances of
things to their deeper, often hid
den meanings and connections.
There are all kinds of news
papers and all kinds of newspaper
men. Nobody ever claimed they
were all perfect. But one thing
is certain: No other agency, insti
tution, or group of people of any
kind is engaged in digging out and
publishing important facts about
our public life.
That’s the job of a free and un
licensed press. This newspaper
would like you to remember that
during National Newspaper Week,
October 5-11.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 16. 1969
Investigation continues
Investigation continues in the breaking and enter
ing of the Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School
and the Pennock Block plant owned by Richard Wert
some time last Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning.
The vault door at the school was pried open and
approximately $72 was taken, and at the block
plant the small safe was broken into but there was
no money in the safe.
In a routine check made at the school located on
Nashville Highway, midway between Vermontville
and Nashville, about 6:45 a. m. Wednesday, Head
Custodian Wayne Skedgell found that the building
had been entered and called in the officers.
Apparently sometime after 11 p. m. Tuesday, a
eerson or persons had gained entrance to the building
y climbing over the wall at the north side, enter
ing the court yard, then broke a window pane into
the cafeteria and reached in and opened the window.
Then, from the south door in the cafeteria they had
gone into the hall, pried open a metal door on the
book store, and from here made their way through
the office area in the hall where the vault door was
pried open.
The vault was ransacked and the
floor strewn with die contents. The bookstore area
was also vandalized, and the floor littered with sup
plies from the shelves.
At the block plant a safe, approximately 24 inches
square was set just outside the office, and entry was
made by prying open the bottom of the safe. AI though the personnel papers were taken, there was no
cash in the safe. Entry into the plant was
made
through a door at the rear of the warehouse.
State Police Trooper, R. J. Kuhn, from the Bat
tle Creek Post, is shown examining the vault door.
He stated that, in his opinion, the break-in appear
ed to be the work of amateurs. An assortment of
tools was found near the vault door, including scis"
and a.screwdriver which belonged to the
ere was also a box of matches. Other ev
idence was found at the scene and a composite foot
print was found also.
The second photo shows the general mess at t h e
bookstore.
Kendal Wilcox, Nashville Police Chief, is shown
examining the safe at Pennock Concrete Products.

Within a short time, we hope to have a new fea
ture added to our paper. We have talked with some
of the teachers, new ones and older ones, and have
asked them if they would be interested to being in
terviewed and to explain some of their teaching
methods and ideas and, in general, give their
views on education. We feel that sometimes if a
new idea were explained or discussed, there would

�Special Council meeting this Thursday
Thursday night the members of the Nashville
Village Council met in regular session at their hall.
Village president Harold Christiansen reported that
he and members of the water and sewer committee
had met with representatives from Williams & Works
' Engineers of Grand Rapids, to review plans for a
water tower and sewer extensions.
He called for special council meeting to be held
this week Thursday, at 7 p. m. when more informa
tion, cost estimates and alternate plans will be pre
sented by representatives of the engineering com
pany. The village is contemplating seeking federal
aid to assist with the project.
Nashville's attorney, Paul Seigel of Hastings has
advised the Zoning Administrator, Justin Cooley,
that it will be up to the property owners and the
Chinch of the Nazarene regarding property owners
keeping up the appearance of the lots and buildings
in the Fuller Heights Addition. This will be in ac
cordance with rules and regulations set up by the
Fuller Heights Committee and the lot owners who
sign the regulation orders when they purchase prop
erty in this area.
It was also Seigel's opinion that it was not nec
essary to have the officials rezone the park areas
within the village limitsas such. Presently they
are designated as residential, and in his opinion re
creation is a part of family living. This opinion
was sought because an over-night trailer park had
been suggested as a part of improvements which
might be started with some $6, 000 which had been
cleared by the Centennial Committee during the
recent Centennial Celebration.
While the $6, 000 is a generous amount the com
mittee is willing to turn over for community im
provement projects, still it would be "only a drop
in the bucket" when compared to what it would
cost to set up an over- night trailer park. The trail
er park is only one of a number of improvements
that have been suggested for the community.
Police Chief Kendal Wilcox, in his report to the
council, stated that the police cruiser had traveled
' 2, 332 miles in the past two weeks, using 210. 6
gallons of gasoline. Four moving violations tickets
had been issued; several others were sighted for im
proper parking; one breaking-and-entering had
been investigated; one driving-under-the-influence
of-liquor violation; the police has assisted in one
county accident involving a county cruiser, and
the local police had covered four tire calls.
Frank Scramlin, a member of the Castleton-Ma
ple Grove Fire Board, reported on the progress of
plains for the new fire barn recently approved b y
the voters.
Upon the recommendation of Tim Smith, super
intendent of Public Works, William Eastman was
hired as a village employee. He will replace Rob
ert Bitgood who is leaving to work for a trucking
concern.
Further improvements at Putnam Park were in
troduced by Stewart Graham. These were tabled
until next spring. As a member of the Water Re
sources Commission (from the council) Graham is
to discuss with the commission some improvements
which might be made on the river, and in repair

Charlton Park Museum
to close for season
This is about your last chance to see the
Barry
County Museum in 1969. The museum at Charlton
Park will close for the season at 5:00 p. m. October
26th. It is presently open from 1 to 5 pm every day
except Monday and Tuesday. After the 26th it will
be open only to scheduled tour groups and meetings.
If you have not been out this summer, please
come. If you have been out this summer, please
write your reactions to the re-opened museum, park
improvements, special events or film series to tne
park office. These letters will help plan the program
and facilities to be offered the public in 1970.
'
Supper to be held
The Eaton County Association for Retarded Chil
dren will meet Thursday evening, October 16th, at
the Grammar School in Charlotte, with a family
potluck supper at 6:30. Please bring a dish to pass.
Coffee and kool-aid will be furnished. Also free

Mrs. Agnes Ziegler, mother of two young adult

Need volunteer catalogers
TUNE UP FOR
COLD WEATHER
Classes for volunteer catalogers will again be held
at the Barry County Museum in Charlton Park. If you
have time, your help is needed.
.
,
To give everyone interested a chance to attend,
the class will be repeated six times: At 1:30 and
7:30 p. m. on Thursday, November 6th, Wednesday,
November 12th and Tuesday November 18th. Any
one interested in learning to catalog and access
items is urged to attend and to work on a museum
collection afterwards. Work time will be individu
ally scheduled with each volunteer.
Last year 17 attended the classes but cold weather
and an unheated museum combined to prevent much
work being done. This year the museum is heated
and major renovation work is completed so little
should interfere with getting a good start at catalog
ing the varied materials gathered by Mr. Charlton.
Call the park office if you wish further details. '
With winter just around
the corner of the calen
dar, now is the time to
have us give your en
gine an expert tune-up
for smooth, economical
performance
under
all
conditions.

for students attending special education classes in
Battle Creek and Lansing.
The membership reports have been filed with the
county office, and accreditation reports have been

Supt. Carroll J. Wolff gave his report on the re
cent fall state conference meeting in Detroit.
The board was informed of a program involving
tuberculin testing for all ninth grade students which
is being promoted by the State Department of Ed
ucation and supported by the Michigan Depart
ment of Public Health. Sometime this year school
administrators will be contacted by local health
department officers to participate in a new volun
teer program of tuberculin testing for all public
and private ninth grade students in the state.
It is anticipated that the program will provide a
reliable state index of tuberculosis infection i n
this age group and also serve as a guideline for future
tuberculin testing programs in the schools. For unity,
use of the Mantoux skin test with PPD-T available
from the Michigan Department of Public Health is
planned. It is hoped that the test will be given wall
of the 178, 000 Michigan ninth graders. Participa
tion by at least 85 percent of the students is consider
ed the minimum necessary for an accurate index of
infection. The. tests, financed by public health agen
cies and the Michigan Tuberculosis and Respiratory
Disease Association, will be administered by physi
cians or by registered nurses under the direction o f
physicians. Dates for the tests will be announced la
ter.
In a previous meeting the board discussed the in
stallation of a pay telephone on the school grounds.
This was primarily for the purpose of students being
able to contact their parents upon returning home
from "away games” when they needed a ride home.
However the costs seem out of line with the need,
and the board voted to do nothing at this time. It
was also pointed out by the high school principal,
Jim Wynes, that the approximate time the busses
will get in is announced ahead of time, and that
having the parents on hand to pick up the students
should not be any particular problem. Too, there is
a phone in the school hall, and under ordinary c i r cumstances this is available should the need arise.
November 9 is the beginning of American Educa
tion Week. Some special activities are being plan
ned. The elementary buildings are planning a com
bined Parent-Teacher meeting to be held in the high
school on Thursday evening, November 13.
Consideration for future bonding programs in r e lationship to increased enrollment figures was d is cussed by the board. Supt. Wolff said. This should
be a thorough study with consideration for the i n volvement of community representatives being con
sidered. Also the operation millage expires this
year, and I definitely would recommend a vote be
fore the Tune annual election. An early operational
vote will give us some indication of future negotia
tion meetings to be held this coming spring."
Both elementary principal Howard Yost and high
school principal Jim Wynes gave reports of events
and conditions in their respective buildings. Yost re
ported some windows have been broken at the Kel
logg Street school, some outdoor lights broken, and
that some damage was suffered in the boys' lavatory
on the upper floor when paper towels were stuffed in
to the lavatories and the water left on. As a result
some two inches of water covered the bathroom
floor. As a disciplinary measure he ordered this bath
room locked except for about two hours a day, 12
noon to 2 p. m. Feeling this might
prove a hard
ship on many of the students, the board suggested
that the students be required to sign out when leav
ing the room, and upon returning, thus making it
possible to trace any damage that might occur. The
Kellogg students are 4th, 5th and 6th graders, and it
is Yost’s feelings these students should nave proper
respect and feel some responsibility for the building,
and he has informed the students that any future
damage is to be paid for by the students'parents.
Wynes, in reporting on the high school building
stated that he has felt his meetings with the new
teachers have been beneficial and said, "We want
to be as helpful as possible to our new teachers. "
The board questioned him on his feeling toward any
"moratorium" action on Wednesday and he said, '
"We will not be participating on Wednesday one
way or the other, " and added that if the students
did walk out it would be a matter to be treated the
same as skipping schooL He felt that students wish
ing to participate should do it outside of school
hours.

Maple Valley upsets
Bellevue Broncos, 22-16
By winning 22 - 16 in last Friday night's football
game at Bellevue, Maple Valley Lions upset the
Bellevue team.
Maple Valley scored first on a safety that was pick
ed up when the Broncos center snapped the ball over
the head of the punter and out of the end zone.
Gene Heaton tallied the first Maple Valley touch
down on an eight yard second quarter run.
Heaton scored again in the third quarter on an
eight yard pass from quarterback Randy HummeL
, Dan Dipert’s extra point run gave the underdog Lions
a 16 - 0 lead.
Maple Valley’s winning touchdown came in the
fourth quarter when Lenny Ackett intercepted a pass
on the Bronco nine yard line and took it in for the
score. That make the score 22-6 in the fourth quar
ter.
,
In the breakdown of individual scoring. Gene
Heaton made 133 yards in 27 carries in rushing,
with total rushing yardage at 220 yards.
In passing, Larry Winegar made 14 attempts
with 7 completions for 68 yards.
Maple Valley scoring breaks down as follows:
A safety was scored when the center from Belle
vue centered the ball and the kicker stepped out
of the end zone. Gene Heaton made two 8 yard
runs and Lenny Ackett made a 9 yard pass inter
ception.
Lions defense held Bellevue to only 44 yards on

more.
Weight restrictions set
at Quaker Brook bridge
Weigfit"restrictions will be imposed soon on the
bridge carrying M-66 over Quaker Brook in Nash
ville, the Department of State Highways said re
cently.
The restrictions limit gross weights of single-un
it trucks to 40 tons, two-unit trucks to 48 tons and
three-unit trucks to 57 tons.
The limits are necessary because of normal de
terioration in the span’s steel beams. The deterio
ration was noted during a routine inspection. Age
of the bridge is unknown.
Load limit signs will be posted on the bridge ap
proaches by December 1 of this year.
Wig Show November 3
Members of the Maple Valley Jaycee Auxiliary
are busy making plans for their second Wig Show.
They held a show last fall and because of its popu
larity are planning another Show for Monday eve
ning, November 3rd.
A representative from Joseph's Salon, Bellevue,
will be presenting this show and will be : showing
the various hair pieces available and how to wear
rhem and rhe wyling of them.
The show will be neld in the cafeteria of the Ma
ple Valley Junior-Senior High School It will begin
at 7:30 p. m. Tickets are available from the Jaycee
Auxiliary members or at the door the night of the
-A show.
Refreshments will be served.
eers of Grand Rapids, in special session Thursday
evening to go over plans for a new water tower, ex
tending water and sewer lines.
Ed. Reese of the Grand Rapids concern recom
mended that a 400, 000 gallon water tower be con
structed, preferably in the southwest part of the vil
lage. This would be adequate to handle the needs
of the community for many years to come. Other
recommendations were a ten-incn water main from
the new tower to Francis Street, then eight-inch
mains,from Casgrove to State: State to Washington,
and Washington Street to Lentz Street with four- inch
lateral lines hooked onto the eight-inch lines, and
finally hooked into the pump station from Washing
ton Street. Estimated costs touted $174, 000.
In the north part of the village it was recommend
ed an intercepter sewer be installed on the north
side of Thornapple River, cross under the river and
hook into the present sewer lines. In the south side
of town a lift station would undoubtedly have to be
installed just east of Main Street and south of Fran
cis Street, then a sewer line down Durkee Streetand
under M-79 and hooked up with the present system.
The total estimated cost for all of the work -- wa
ter tower, water lines and sewer lines--have been
set at $284,000.
Presently the big hitch is the selling of the bonds,
and until some feasible plan comes along, or feder
al monies become available, it would appear that
the whole program is at a sundstilL The cunent
bonded indebtedness is $113, 000 for the village.
This is the amount left on the sewer plant.
Parent-teacher conferences
"he first of the semi-annual Parent Teacher Con
ferences for the Junior-Senior High School will be
Thursday and Friday, October 23 and 24 from 12:30

To help the school help your child come and use

To make the afternoon more enjoyable, the ad
ministration will serve coffee and cookies in the
cafeteria so that all who attend the conferences will
have a chance to become better acquainted.
Starting the year with cooperation between home
and school will be the attitude best able to encour
age every student. Ail parents are urged to share
this conference day.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I like your idea about keeping a Spirit of Nash
ville alive.
People have an inferiority complex about their
village. What is needed is a ’Corporate Image. "
But let's not talk about a quaint , old. little, gay
1810's, let's talk about something real to-be proud
of!
How about -- "The Blue Village Beyond the Cit
ies?"
And here are some suggestions to the village coun
cil or Chamber of Commerce or just a plain com
mittee of five:
Paint the sidewalks blue by Christmas time; plant
blue spruce in large blue cement boxes on Main
Street. By Easter nave all the village lights tinted
blue. July 15 is a good day to have a Blue Festi
vaL
But someone mist determine to do it.
yours,
Rev. R. Moeggenberg.
An open house will be held for Mr. and Mrs. Jay
Tuttle on Sunday, October 26 from 1:00 to 5:00 pm
at the Masonic Temple on Walnut Street in Howard
City in honor of their 25th wedding anniversary.
No invitations are being sent. Friends and rela
tives are invited.
The open house will be hosted by their children.
Miss Marie Tuttle and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tuttle.

The war moratorium of last Wednesday was some
what of a revelation to me. In the first place I was
glad to see that it is not just the kids who are pro testing but it is such people - thinking, mature old
er people, like Dr. Adams, Governor Milliken,
Zoltan Farency and Phil Hart. These people cannot
be accused of being hippies and nut kids who don't
know what they are doing.
•The moratorium and the march to the Capitol in
Lansing was one of the most peaceful protests I have
ever seen. Some seven thousand people gathered
on the lawn in front of the capitol building to lis
ten to the speeches and to voice their objections to
the way things are going with our little war. When
they walked away from the place there was not a
bit of litter or evidence that so many had
been
there. When the thing was almost over a bunch of
kids got baskets and policed the grounds, picking
up all the litter that groups of that size leaves.
When the police saw this they decided they were
by john boughton
not needed there any more and they just quietly
left
The kids - at least those in Lansing - demonstra
ted that they could exercise their rights as Ameri
cans, that tney could object, and gather to hear
objections without getting out of hand and without
trouble. Maybe there is some hope for the world af
ter alL
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said...
"Flying Saucers Ate Real... The Air Force Doesn't
Exist.y
We have a
letter to the editor this week with
some ideas about what we can do to improve the
town a bit. These letters and ideas are always most
welcome and we hope that many more will come

National disaster’
EDITOR’S NOTE
The following is the talk that Dr. Walter Adams,
in East Lansing last Wednesday. The speech so im
pressed us that we decided to pass it on to you.
--Editor
—
K
*■
As always, my remarks this morning are not dic
tated by Hanoi or Peking or Washington, but by
personal conviction and conscience.
I shall speak neither about the legality nor the
morality of U. S. involvement in Vietnam, but
concern myself exclusively with our national self
interest, I shall assess the war's impact oh thif cdiintfy Ih the clinically dispassionate parlance appro-,
priate to cost/benefit calculations, and pose three’
questions: (1) What does the U. S. have to gain from
this venture? (2) What is the price we pay? (3) Is
the war worth this price?
My conclusion will be unmistakable: the Vietnam
war is a national disaster, fought for epheneral
ends and paid for with a depleted society. Com
mitment of additional resources will not retrieve
this futile investment. Discretion and wisdom,
therefore, militate toward immediate disengage
ment - and the redirection of dur efforts to national
priorities which better serve our national interest
In this context, as Senator Church of Idaho has
said, "Vietnam is a showcase of bankruptcy, a
hopeless war fought for insubstantial stakes. As a
war for high principle, Vietnam simply does not
measure up: The Saigon government is neither a
democracy warranting our support on ideological
grounds nor a victim of international aggression
warranting our support under toe unlteoNations
Charter. As an effort to contain Chinese power,
the war in Vietnam is irrelevant as well as unsuc
cessful; even if a Communist Vietnam were to fall
under Chinese control, as I do not think it would,
the gains to China would be trivial compared with
those accruing from her industrialization and ac
quisition of nuclear weapons. "
Let me underscore this point: we. are wasting
American lives and American treasure for a piece
of real estate worthleu to the defense of America.
We are destroying a country in order to save it ostensibly for principles wtuch have no demonstra-ble relation to our national security. We are
committing America to a fatal land war in Asia
on the assumption that the Vietcbng must be beat
en in their native boondocks before they can scram
ble ashore hi Australia or San Francisco - transported
there, no1 doubt, by Hanoi's or Peking's invincible
sampan navy.
'
I say to you without qualification that even if the
domino theory were correct - even if the "loss"
of Vietnam would mean the Communist conquest
of Southeast Asia - which to me is speculative
fabrication - I think our current position would be
suicidal madness. Like ourselves, the Communists
would find this area to be an impqyerished mass ■
of humanity stirred by nationalist aspirations and
embroiled in constant revolutionary turmoil--a
burden rather than an asset. The lords of Peking,
who lack the resources to lift their own country
from the depths of underdevelopment, could hard
ly afford to subsidize the developmental efforts
of their potential satellites.
. ... .
'
Just as conquest of the area would be a Pyrrhic
victory for the Chinese, so even a total U. S. vic
tory would not contribute one iota to the security
of our country or its geopolitical posture in the
world. Moreover, the cost of attempting such a
victory (or even maintaining a stalemate) would
exact an intorerable price - not only in casualties
and treasure, but in terms of the violence it does
to the fabric of American society, the quality of
American life, and the validity of the American
dream.
No nation has unlimited economic, human, in
tellectual, and spiritual resources. Even such af
fluent nations as the United States are not exempt
from this universal law. This means that in striv
ing to achieve its national goals, a country must
make choices. It must arrange its objectives in
some order of priority - an order which reflects its
FEET KILLING YOU?
Try Foot-So-Port shoes - the strongest
arch and heel support shoes made.
value system - Us judgment at to what is more
important and what is less important. The nation
must then use its resources accourdingly.
How long will it take us to learn that the United
State! cannot afford to impose or police a pax
americana on a global scale - even if it wefe" des
irable td do so? How much more experience do we
need before we understand that we cannot annually
divert $30 billions of economic resources as well
as our intellectual energies to an irrelevant war
on the Asian mainland while also contributing to
the defense of Western Europe, conquering the
moon, participating in the armaments and missile
race, and maintaining a viable and just society
at home? A choice between priorities is unavoid
able: should we indulge ourselves in the ideolog
ical luxuries of Vietnam--feeding the arrogance
that goes with power; or should we put our own
house in order--fight the war against poverty,
deprivation, despair, and bigotry at home before
we attempt to deny an insignificant bit of terri
tory to Communist ambitions abroad? Focusing on
.Americans rational self-interest, the choice would
seem too obvious for further debate.............................
I believe we can no longer be unmindful of the
urgency and extent of America's domestic needsneeds which can overwhelm us just as surely as the
threat of external aggression, unless we can find
the wherewithal, the ingenuity, and the determin
ation equal to the challenge. Let us contemplate
the domestic needs which are neglected and post
poned while we blithely squander $30 billion an
nually on the war in Vietnam.
Because of our mistake in Vietnam, we are
not building the 6 million housing units which
the Riot Commission has recommended for Amer
ica's ghettos. We cannot afford, it is said, the
additional $6 billion to provide compensatory
education for deprived and handicapped children.
We cannot afford the $L 5 billion to provide the
needed manpower training for the hard-core un
employed. We cannot afford the $5 billion for
model cities or the $3 billion for community ac
tion programs under OEO. We cannot afford the
$26 billion needed to rid our rivers and lakes of
industrial and municipal waste. We cannot afford
to restructure our welfare system through a nega
tive income tax which would cost some $15 bil
lion. We cannot afford an efficient urban transit
system, a program to combat enviromental pol
lution, provision for adequate health care, etc.
Let me restate the cost of our Vietnam commit
ment in yet another way. In the last decare, the
federal government has spent 3 times more on
Vietnam than on medicare and medical assist
ance, 4 times more than on all levels of education,
and 15 times more than on housing and community
development. It has spent more on this war than
it spent in our entire history on public higher ed
ucation or police protection. It has spent more
on Vietnam in each of the last 3 years than it
would cost to operate 350 universities like MSU
per year--tuition free, and at no cost to the tax
payers. This, it seems to me, is not a rational
allocation of national resources when our cities
are decaying, 35 million Americans are living
below the poverty level, our youth is alientated
and disillusioned, our society is embittered bj
racial strife, and the American spirit is wracked
by confusion and doubt. This is not an acceptable
performance record, and today's events demon
strate that the American conscience no longer
tolerates it.
In conclusion, let me remind you that, in
1789, our Founding Fathers created a new nation
"in Order to form a more perfect Union, estab
lish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defence, promote the general
Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity. "

The door prize, a bouquet, was won by Nellie
Moon. The roll call was Bible verses about flowers
and gardens.
Mrs. William Richards of Hastings gave a talk a
bout interior decorating with flowers. Flowers should
be chosen according to the type of furniture. Tra
ditional would require darker colors and heavier
types like stately roses. Contempory would require
lighter, friendlier flowers. House plants should be
grouped rather than scattered in every window. Con
tainers should be full of flowers rather than display
ed for their own merit unless they are beautiful an
tiques or such. Plants and flowers add living color
and pleasure to the atmosphere of a home. They
should not be profuse and the containers should be
perfect for the type of flower.
Delicious refreshments were served by the tea
committee, Mrs. Glen Pufpaff, Mrs. Dewey Jones
and Mrs. Ralph Pennock.
The next meeting will be November 4th at the
home of Mrs. Floyd Nesbet. Mrs. Walton of Has tings will tell of the progress of Charlton Park and

SECRETARY
SOCIATION
CIGARETTES GROW COSTLY
While cigarettes have been taking quite a beat
ing lately from many different corners, there is one
beneficial aspect about them no one has proposed
abolishing--they-re taxable.
On October 1, for the firn time in history, there
was a tax imposed on cigarettes in every state of
the union.
On October 9, to bring tbe matter closer to home,
Gov, Milliken asked the Legislature to raise Mich
igan's cigarette tax from seven cents to 12 cents
perpack.
*
Tc those who can remember the time when cig
arettes were two packs for a quarter, tbe prospect
of paying that much alone in state taxes on them
seems a little drastic. But a 12 cent rate isn't even
unusual any more.
Iowa was the first state to impose a tax on cigar
ettes in 1921. Michigan was a relative latecomer
to tbe scene, waiting until 1947 to levy the first
tax on smokers.
Prior to 1947, some 32 states had levied taxes on
cigarettes and seven more joined the bandwagon
that year.
A 12 cent rate would by no means make Michi
gan the highest taxing state, either. That distinc
tion belongs to Connecticut, which charges 16 cents
for every pack of cigarettes sold there.
Other states higher thar. 12 cents are Florida (15#)
New Jersey (14#), Oklahoma, Tennessee, Pennsy
lvania, Minnesota and Rhode Island (13#), and Ar
kansas (12. 25#).
States already charging 12 cents are New York,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Illinois, North
and South Dakota and New Mexico.
HARE KEEPS TRYING
Secretary of State James M. Hare is one of those
persons who truly deserves the title "political pro. "
He is as astute a politician and has as many con
tacts as any man in Lansing.
Yet, he has one pet project that he has never
been able to get the Legislature to go along with.
That is a financial disclosure provision for cam
paigns.
.
The seven-term officeholder, who is retiring af
ter the cunent term he is serving expires, is going
to make one more try.
He served notice on the Legislature he will be
after it again next Janharv to enact "total reform
of Michigan's financial disclosure laws with par
ticular emphasis on more effective controls over
reporting of political campaign contributions and
spending.
"A meaningful, effective public disclosure law '
will not only inform the people as it should but
will produce the desirable side effect of reducing
the cost of politics to permit highly qualified but
modestly affluent people to run for office,
told them.
Hare said the bill be is push!
1 not limit
political participation but will
the partici
pants to be open and honest."
' "The effect," be predicted, "will be to foster
public respect for politics and politicians. The bill
restricts campaign spending to candidates, com
mittees formed at the candidates’ request, party
committees and fund raising committees.
"These assorted committees must file a state
ment of existence and file an accounting of re
ceipts and disbursements," he explainer!
Hare proposed several other programs at tbe same
time which he said the Legislature should pass.
Among the more noteworthy of these was a pro
posal for state conducted driver license examina
tions.
"In Michigan in most instances we have what is
known as 'autonomous control' by local police jur
isdictions, " he said. " With the current system it
is virtually impossible to bring about the neces
sary uniformity in driver licensing. "
Hare said Michigan is one of only four states
where driver license examinations are not admin
istered by one state agency.

The Maple Valley chapter of the National Honor
Society held its formal initiation Monday evening,
October 20 in the high school auditorium.
Miss Terri Wells, president of the society, open
ed the meeting, and following the pledge to the
flag and invocation, the high school principal,
James Wynes, spoke briefly. Harry Hammond gave
a report of his recent trip to the University of Ohio
where he attended the Conference on Student Coun
cils.
Students selected to become eligible for mem
bership in the National Honor Society are chosen by
the high school faculty.
The significance of the society was explained by
Miss Wells and those participating in a candle-light
ing ceremony. Daniel Betts spoke on "Character;
Miss Maureen Viele, "Scholarship;" Riley Garn on
"Leadership" and Miss Twilla Marisch on "Service."
The National Honor Society advisor, Mrs. Irene
Hamp, then presented pins to the new members,
Steven Craun, Linda Furlong, James Gann. Harry
Hammond, David Liebhauser, Anita Lingholm, Glen
Linsley, Julie Sheldon, Anne Staup, Marie Steele,
Virgie Trowbridge, Nancy Winnie, Debbie Wright
and Danny VanNeste.
Up to five percent of the sophomore class may be
selected as provisional members, although they have
no vote until their junior and senior years. Those
chosen as provisional members were introduced, in
cluding Randy Ames, Teresa Beecher, Bart Bracy,
Kathie Briggs, Jodi Gradzinski, Edward Linsley and
Steven Stanton.
It was back in 1959 that Mrs. Gertrude Montgom
ery, then guidance instructor in the Nashville W. K.
Kellogg High School, organized the first local chap
ter of National Society, after two years of prepara
tory work, and was granted the first charter for the
Nashville school. In 1966, when the students moved

the charter was changed to the Maple Valley charter.
In special tribute to the efforts of Mrs. Montgom
ery, she was presented an honorary membership pin
by Terri Wells. Mrs. Montgomery taught in both the
Vermontville and Nashville schools for many years
before retiring in 1965.
Construction to begin on
sewage lagoon system
Construction will get under way soon on a new
sewage lagoon system at the Barry County Medical
Care Facility, ending two years of study and plan
ning.
Contracts were awarded last Friday by the Barry
County Board of Supervisors and the Hastings Town
ship Board to Holwerda Heating & Plumbing Co. of
Wyoming, Michigan.
A bid of $81, 876. 28 was lowest of five bids sub
mitted for the project, and work is expected to be
completed by the spring of 1970.
The social services board and the supervisors have
been seeking a solution to the inadequate sewage
system at the medical care facility since state health
officials notified the county in 1967 that, is the
present system were not repaired or replaced, the
county faced the possibility of having to close the
facility because of pollution to the Tnornapple Riv
er.
The township board agreed several months ago to
act as the
body through which the project will be
financed in the amount of $110, 000.
The supervisors' finance and property committee
is expected to meet with state jail officials and ar
chitects in Lansing on November 17 for a planning
session for the construction of a lockup systems for
the county. Barty County has been without jail fa
cilities since 1964 when state officials condemned
the county's lockup system. Since then prisoners
have been housed in the Eaton County jail at $35,000
annually.
State legislation passed in June requires all coun
ties presently without jail facilities to provide a 48
hour lockup complex.
Board chairman Robert Lyons told supervisors that
the committees will meet with Robert Russell, Mich
igan jail inspector, and a representative of the Daverman Architects to make plans for the construc
tion of a minimal jail here in the near future.

EDITOR f
Vision Screening scheduled
Grass Lake, Mich.
Oct. 21, 1969
Maple Valley News
A-soft hearted friend of mine was driving down a
highway the other day when he saw a little dog chas
ing cars. This little dog would chase a car in one di
rection as far as she could and then would wait in the
middle of the road for another car going in the other
direction to chase that awhile. Since this was in the
middle of the woods up north, my friends concluded
that the little dog was lost or had been put out of a
car and was trying to pick up a ride.
So friend stopped his car and opened the door and
the little,dog jumped right in with him. He took her
to the local sheriff's-office, told the officer the story
and left the dog there to be picked up by her people.
A couple of days later, friend went back to see if
the doc had been claimed. She had not and the sher
iff’s officer explained that he would have to do away
with the little thing that very day if she was -not
claimed. So soft-hearted friend took the dog with
him back to his apartment in Detroit. The rules of
the building are: no pets, but friend has got by so far
by taking me dog to work with him and letting jjer
sleep in the car while he works. He goes out every
couple of hours to let her out and to feed her a snack.
In the meantime he has put an advertisement in the
weekly paper closest to the place he found the dog in
the hope
that —
the
who own her will claim-her.
. JR
ar .people
.
If this does not happen, soft-hearted friend has a dog,
and the popr little 4°8- may have to spend her, entire
life sleeping in a car. Such is life.
Children in Barry County schools will again have
the opportunity to nave their vision screened. This
program is conducted by the. Barry-Eaton District
Health Department in cooperation with the Michi
gan Department of Public Health and various school
systems. Children in grades 1-3-5-7-9-11 and those
referred by teachers as suspected of having difficul
ty seeing, will be tested by Mrs. Martha Stamm,
vision Technician. Preliminary screening will be
followed by a retest at a later date. If both tests are
failed, letters will be sent home to parents recom
mending an examination by an eye doctor.
November 10 is the date set for the Nashville
screening.
Dear Sirs:
The change of the name of the old home town
paper, doesn't make it sound like your referring to
Nashville as its been Nashville News all the time I
grew up there at Maple Grove.
I was reading the Saranac Advertiser (which is
Arthur's home town) I saw a nice little poem in
there so thought I'd pass it on to you. We always
look for the paper to come. Of course, there are
so many new folks around town and on thd farms
now with the passing of our relatives and friends up
there. It sure is changing.
Maybe we'll have to admit, not so young any
more. Hal
Am sending our check for the paper for another
year. Thank you.
Yours truly,

. Michigan has more children per 1000 population
to educate than any neighboring state or than the US
average. Concerned Michigan citizens are being
heard around not only our state but our nation a s
well. Debates ail over our state are increasing in
tempo as the extra fall legislative session on school
finance and organization meets in Lansing. Sound
information is needed to study all the "platforms”
and claims presented by tax protest groups through
out Michigan.
Are you prepared to discuss and to answer intelli
gently the following 5 main issues of the debate.
- At what spending level do we want to support
public education in Michigan?
- What should be taught? Who should teach it?
How should it be taught? When should it be taught?
What will it cost?
- What mix of taxes do we want to use or whowil
pay?
- Do we want a public school system in which
there is equal opportunity for a good education?
- Should private schools receive more public sup
port?
You may become so confused by the claims and
counter claims made in the great debate that you
will lose sight of the main issues pointed out above.
The Cooperative Extension Service is sponsoring
a "town meeting" open to any resident of Michigan
to learn more about the issues involved in the school
tax protest so much in today's news.
This meeting is open to anyone who feels a great
need to ask questions and have questions answered
about where his school tax money goes.
Groups of citizens will be meeting in Barry,-Ionia
and Montcalm Counties together with Dr. Alvin
House, Extension Specialist in Economics to discuss
and explore the predominate issues of school taxes
facing taxpayers today.
In Hastings on Tuesday, November 4th, at 7:30
p. m. at the Barry County Community Center on
the Fairgrounds; in Ionia on Wednesday, November
5th at 1:00 p. m.
Buys new police cruiser
The Nashville village council opened bids on a
new police cruiser at its regular session Thursday
evening. Of the four bids submitted the lowest was
from Dewey's Car Palace in Delton, and was ac
cepted. The bid, including a trade in was for $2000.
Other bids were from Del Adams of Lake Odessa for
$2, 845; Hastings Motor Sales, $2f 450, and Smith
& Doster of Delton for $2,190. It will probably be
a month before the new cruiser arrives.
The State Highway Department has imposed
weight regulations on the bridge across Quaker
Greek on Nashville's Main Street. Regulations are
for 40 tons on a one-unit vehicle; 48 tons on a twounit, and 57 on a three-unit. Signs will be posted
by the State Department.
The village requested Consumers Power to re
move a pole from the parking area back of Maker's
Market, at no cost to the village, and also voted
to make the street to the parking lot one way going
west. This will lesson the congestion of traffic in
this area. The one-way traffic will go into effect
as soon as the pole is removed.
The village is considering purchasing the old Flo
theater building just north of the village hall and
tearing it down. The proposal will be carefully
studied before any action is taken.
President Harold Christiansen gave a review of
the meeting of the Michigan Public Service Com
mission, school officials and village officials held
at the Sherman and Reed Street rauroad crossings
on Thursday, October 16. The Commission will
undoubtedly put their suggestions and/or require
ments in writing and then the council will take
action.
In the absence of the village clerk, Mrs. Ada
■Skedgell, Stewart Graham acted as clerk pro-tern.
' Zoning Administrator Judd Cooley reported that
Felix Bryan is remodeling the old brick house near
the old ball diamond into an apartment house.
Police Chief Kendall Wilcox, in his report to
the council, stated there had been one arrest for
driving while under the influence of liquor, one for
drunk and driving, three moving violation tickets
were issued and there had been a number of illegal
parking tickets giv,en.
Free immunization clinic
The Barry Eaton District Health Department will
hold its free immunization clinic for children in its
offices in Pennock Hospital on Monday, November
3, 1969 from 9:00 to 11:00 a. m.
A concerted statewide effort is underway to p r e vent an expected widespread epidemic of three-day
measles in 1970.
This will be done by immunizing all the children
in grades K through 3, not so much to prevent these
youngsters from having the disease, but to prevent
its spread to their possibly pregnant mothers where
records show a high precenuge of deformed babies
following the infection in the mother.
Your local health department is going to be i n volved in carrying out this program and plans to do
this right in the schools.
The vaccine, to be furnished by the state, will
not be available in this area until about January 1,
so that present plans indicate a mid-January pro
gram in Barry and Eaton Counties.

Pufpaff - Sixberry
The Nashville United Methodist Church was the
scene of the wedding Saturday afternoon, October
11. of Beverly Pufpaff and Gerald Sixberry. The
double ring ceremony was performed by Rev. James
Crosby in the presence of approximately 65 guests.
The parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Karl
Pufpaff and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Sixberry, both of
Nashville.
Two large bouquets of bronze and yellow m u ms
flanked the altar and the altar bouquet was of large
bronze and smaller white and yellow mums.

tional wedding music and accompanied Miss Linda
Fassett, cousin of the bride, who sang "Whither
Thou Goest" and the "Lords Prayer."
The bride, escorted to the altar by her father,
wore a princess line floor length gown of white
chantilly lace over satin with long fitted sleeves
and high stand-up collar. Her shoulder length veil
of illusion net was held in place by a small crown
of seed pearls. The bridal bouquet was three large
white orchids on dark green foliage.
Mrs. Boyd Pufpaff, sister-in-law of the bride, was
maid of honor and Miss Pamela Pufpaff, sister of
the bride, was a bridesmaid. They wore identical
floor length gowns of gold taffeta, styled similar to
the bridal gown. A large bow and net to match the
gowns, formed their head pieces. Their bouquets
were yellow and white mums tied with gold ribbon.
Joe Harp, brother-in-law of the groom, served as
best man and helped Boyd Pufpaff, Brother of the
bride, usher the guests.
For her daughter's wedding, Mb. Pufpaff chose a
beige linen dress with beige lace yoke and sleeves
with dark brown accessories. The groom's mother
wore a teal blue linen sheath with fawn accessories.
Both of their corsages were small white orchids.
Miss Dawn Sixberry, sister of the groom, was at
the guest book and helped another sister, Mrs. Joe
Harp, open and display the gifts.
Mr. and Mis. Burr Fassett, aunt and uncle of the
bride, were master and mistress of ceremonies.

cently.
The restrictions limit gross weights of single-un
it trucks to 40 tons, two-unit trucks to 48 tons and
three-unit trucks to 57 tons.
The limits are necessary because of normal de
terioration in the span's steel beams. The deterio

NEWS REPORT FROM THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CLASSES
GRETA FBISTER
Have you studied the Governor's proposed educa
tion bill? If proposed legislation: is passed, estate
Committee will be established to draw the guidelines
for the reorganization of school districts. The pro
posals that are developed by this committee will
then go to the local boards of education for action
on possible reorganization by the local boards. I f
further reorganization is necessary through state leg
islation, then the people should have more opportun
ity to vote on possible reorganization. Local boards
of education could be placed in a very difficult po
sition if they are in disagreement with the state com
mittee's recommendations or proposals.
We in Maple Valley have no idea what would hap
pen to us. We have 1918 students K-12. Presently
the commission asks that a district have a minimum
of 2000 students. A fast growing district might b e
left intact although not having an enrollment now
of 2000 students.
The Governor has proposed a single formula state
aid program for next year. We now operate under a
two formula program. Maple Valley has $7100 be
hind each student. Under the new proposed formula
we would receive $27. 50 more per student than now.
A school district with $13,000 behind each student
would receive approximately $62. 00 under the new
plan for next year. This certainly does not promote
more equal opportunity when some of the rich could
get richer and the poor poorer. It is also felt that
consideration must be given a more fair and equal
system of assessment of property. This could mean
tne elimination of the local assessor and this func
tion being'handled through state employed officials.
It is now proposed that a flat levy of 16 mills be lev
ied for school support. This does not include any tax
es needed to pay bonded debts. For the residents of
the Maple*Valley school district, the present pro
posal does not offet any property relief as far as tax
ation.
A new five cent a package cigarette tax would al
so go for educational costs. An increase of 1. 9 per
cent increase on income tax would go for education.
Possibly other tax increases would also be necessary.
The fast rising cost of our welfare program must al
so be cons.tiered when we are considering additional
tex revenues that are needed.
A state wide testing program in grades 1,2,4,7
■ and 10 would be part of a new assessment program
of educational progress in the basic skills of students
in reading and mathematics. Also, an enrichment
program could be possible through an additional
three mill vote of the people. -It seems.as though - this program is primarily centered around the larger
school systems primarily located In the eastern part
Now if you Approve or Disapprove these proposed
bills by which more control is given the state; write,
call, or telegraph your State Legislator at once.
Barry County, Stanley Powell. House of Represen
tatives, Lansing; Eaton County, Dale Warner, House
of Representatives, Lansing, and Barry and Eaton
Counties, Harry Demaso, Michigan Senate, Lansing.
If the proposed reorganization bills are approved,
it is the intent of the governor's commission to make
use of all existing school buildings. This might be
somewhat difficult considering the distance involved
in some rural areas and transportation problems in
volved.
State aid to non-public schools is also included in
the program. However, the proposed legislation does
not say anything about a minimum size for the non
public schooL
It is proposed that the state board of education be
eliminated, and a director of education would be ap
pointed by the Governor with the approval of the
Senate. Presently the people vote for the state board
of education. The 60 intermediate school districts
would be reorganized into from 10 to 15 regional
school districts.
The main purpose and responsibilities of the reg
ional director would be the approval of the budgets
for the operating K-12 districts within the region,
total transportation program, date processing, spec
ial education, vocational and technical training,
central purchasing, and curriculum consultant work.
A major problem here could be the large geographi
cal size of each of the regional districts in the outstate area. Some have indicated that there would be
only one regional district in the upper peninsula, but
no regional district boundaries have been decided at
this time. Another area of concern could easily be
the amount of decision making that would be left to
the individual board of education in relationship to
the decisions being made at the regional office.
Regional vocational centers within reasonable trans
portation distance would be of great educational val
ue to students who desire to enroll in more trade type
courses. These students would also probably take the
basic academic courses in the local area schooL
If the proposed bills are passed, a major responsi
bility would be the detailed method of getting a bud
get approved for operational purposes. A budget
would be prepared by each K-12 district and submit
ted for approval by the regional director. After the
budget is approved at the regional level along with
the regional office budget, the next approval would
be necessary at the state leveL After approval at
the state level, the local district would know the a
mount of funds available for operation. This process
could take a great deal of time meaning that b u d gets would have to be prepared several months in
advance. The local, school district would have to
prepare a budget following specific directives and
numerical values as set up by the state director of
education.
Channel 10 news said this bill would either fail or
pass by the first of this November. It would definite
ly seem that far more time will have to be involved
if the legislators are going to completely study this
educational reform package in detaiL
A meeting will be held in the Junior-Senior High
School Library on November 4, 1969 at 8:00 p. m.
to discuss possible courses to be offered over a ten
week period. This will be a general organizational
meeting, and it is planned that classes will begin
within two weeks after the meeting.
Those people who enroll in classes will have an
opportunity to determine the night of the week and
time that their particular*class will meet We have

ken up wiur receptions, slide shows of participants'
institutions and late night discussions. In all, the
participants attended 15 classes on a wide range of
subjects and visited 15 museums or related facilities,
during the crowded two weeks.
Mr. Versteeg says it is hard to describe what ex
actly was learned tn a few words. In fact, he says
the time went by so fast he will have to review his
notes for the main ideas for his own information. He
also said be shared the only two-man room in the
group and thus the evening sessions were usually in
his room. He missed a lot of sleep that way. Most
of the participants and many of the faculty mem
bers (who came from as far away as the students:
California, British Columbia, Florida) stayed in the
same hotel a block from the state capitol in Albany.
Mrs. Versteeg and their son John accompanied Mr,
Versteeg to Albany where they met Mrs. Versteeg's
parents from Maine. Mickle and John spent the two
weeks of the seminar with her parents, visiting her
brother's family in Virginia Beach, Virginia and re
newing old acquaintances in Augusta, Maine. Thus
while Mr. Versteeg drove 1500 miles to attend the
seminar, Mrs. Versteeg and their son traveled well
over twice that far during the same period.

Honor Roll
The following list is made up of Maple Valley
students who were placed on the honor roll for the
first six weeks of the current school year.
One of the best ways to learn about museum work
is by doing it. And one of the best ways to learn a
bout items from the past is by working with them.
An ancient craft may seem much more alive after
working with the tools of that craft. Such work may
even lead to a lifetime interest or hobby.
The Barry County Museum in Charlton Park offers
volunteer catalogers their choice of collections af
ter they have completed one of the classes in muse«sna cataloging. Volunteers will also individually
schedule their work to best fit their schedules.

The human body was div

REX BALCH
DIALOG WITH YOUTH
There has been a lot of talk lately about the gen
eration gap and about the fact that we elders, the
establishment, authorities, call it what you may,
must make an effort to communicate with the
younger generation.
The Maple Valley News, in an effort to bridge
that generation gap, intends to interview teachers
in our school system, the people who are closest
to our young people - and who indeed are m e m ben of the young group themselves often, to a t tempt to establish a better understanding with our
greatest resource, the youth of today who will be
the estaolishment of tomorrow.
'
Mr. 'Rex Balch, one of the newer teachers in the
Maple Valley System, gave us a few minutes of his
time to answer our questions and share with us some
of his personal views on education and young peo
ple.
’
Rex Balch teaches 4-6 a nd 8th grades in the
Maple Valley Schools. He also helps out with foot
ball and basketball coaching duties. Mr. Balch has
taught in our school system for the past two years.
Previous to coming here, he was a teacher in the
Romeo system. Mr. Balch went to school in metro
politan Detroit and he was graduated from high
school «t Fraser, a Detroit suburb.
Ms. Balch, who was graduated from Western
Michigan University in 1964, also attended college
in Tennessee.
Mr. Balch and his wife, Stephanie, have two
boys going to the Maple Valley schools. Bryan is
in the second grade and Brett is in kindergarten.
The Balches live in Vermontville.

QUESTION: I have heard that you say the learning
process should be fun. Just how do you go about
making it fun? What are your ideas along this line?
ANSWER: I feel if the kick want to do something,
if they want to come to school, that's half the bat
tle. If we can make it fun to come tp school, then
the kids are going to learn; they're going to want
to work and learn. In elementary school, I often
take the first three or four weeks of school and we
play games that are educational like password and
spelling games. I take the kids down to the gym to
play basketball. They don't want to miss school
because there are different things to do. After a
while they begin to want to please me with the
things they do, by doing their homework, of course,
they do good in school. By being good, they have
fun.

QUESTION: How do you feel that our school, as a
whole, reacts to this particular philosophy? Is there
a comment on this?
ANSWER: I'll get back to Romeo, because I taught
there four years. One of the things they did there
which’ they don't do here is this. On the first day
of school they had all the parents come in. For in
stance. the 5th grade parents of my class would
come in and sit in a group for an hour and I would
tell them my philosophy and the things that I in

bing eighth grade and having been a football
basketball coach for four years. I've dealt
with all age level of kids. Definitely there is a dif
ferent type of attitude the teacher should have, de
pending upon where be is teaching. I know in ele
mentary school you can become closer to the kids,
- more like a father image. You can share a lot of
their problems with them because you see them all
the day. As you move on into the junior highschool,
you only have them in the same class for maybe 55
minutes. You can't be the type of person under both
circumstances. You can be a friend but you have to
have discipline. I think if the kids know they can go
so far, you can say, "Stop, that's it!" this is where
discipline comes in.
QUESTION: Would you say that the methods of
teaching have changed much in the last ten years?
ANSWER: This is only my sixth year of teaching I
had four years in Romeo and two years here, and I
know in just the six years I have been teaching, the
methods of presenting material to the kids and the
different types of mechanical helps such as tape re
corders and other aides teachers can use have chang
ed greatly, as have trends in thinking. Many of the
old teachers or older people can remember that the
teachers used to walk around with the hickory stick
and you had to learn your reading, writing and a
rithmetic. Now we’re not so much interested in
learning facts. Facts are important, but more im
portant, are how to handle the facts, how to solve
the problems, the everyday problems. They should
want to answer problems. We want kids to think
better and to want to answer the questions. The
answer is important but not as important as the proc
esses of getting to that answer.
I think one of the things that we have been try
ing in Sth grade is to get the students involved
more, getting the student to talk more. I don't
think the teacher has to talk all the time. I think
the kids learn a lot more if they have to participate.
The first year I taught, I thought I had to do all
thetaiking. The second year.about 50 percent of the
time I talked and 50 percent they talked;in the last
three years they have done most of the talking and
I think the kids learned a lot more and had more
fun than by having me lecturing.
QUESTION: How do you think kids in the Maple
Valley school compare with other schools in the
bigger cities? Do you think our children are getting
as good an education in the Maple Valley School
system as in the Grosse Pointe or Birmingham school
systems?
ANSWER: I really think they are. I am familiar with
both the Grosse Pointe and the Birmingham systems.
Of course, there are some differences. For one
thing, teacher salaries are higher in that area. The
person who goes into teaching for the money only
will naturally try to gravitate to such a system. For
another thing, they do have more money behind
each student in those areas. They have much 1 n
the way of teacher aides that Maple Valley cannot
afford such as tape recorders, television.... these
things help teachers but they do not make good
teachers. So far as quality of teachers goes, I am
sure, there are no better teachers than we have here.
QUESTION: How far do you think the school author
ities should go in determining such things as the
way students dress and wear their hair?
•
ANSWER: From the point of view of a coach, I
think the boys on the basketball team are represent- fog the school and are looked upon as the athletes
of the school, and, of course, long sideburns and
long hair are the style now, but one of the things that
we tell the boys is that their sideburns have to be
trimmed and their hair has to be short, not in their
eyes and they know this before they come out, so
there's no problem. As for the dress code, I think
they are handling it right tike way they have it set
up. There's no set dress code; I know they talk a

COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1969
Representatives speak
about exchange program
Twenty-two Lions club members, wives
and
guests enjoyed a dinner meeting at Foote's Cafe on
Monday evening, November 3.
The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Wilbui Wil
liams, who is district director for the Youth for Un
derstanding exchange student organization. She sta
ted that this program has grown from 28 participants
in 1951 to between 3,000 and 4,000 this year. It
has become an inter-racial organization. There are
five phases of this program which include the visit
of a foreign students in an American home for one
year, an American student abroad for two months
during the summer, a six months stay of a Larin A
merican student in an American home, the 13th
year abroad for an American high school graduate
and the Y. F. U. Chorale of seventy students who
tour South America in concert during the summer.
The purpose of the program is understanding. She
brought out that many times; a foreign student has
a better understanding of his own country when he
goes home due to the many questions he is asked
to answer here. Then in return the student takes
home a true picture of the average American which
he has learned from living close to us.
Any group may help sponsor a student either to go
to a country or one who is visiting here. The spon
soring family has to furnish food and lodging and
many times the extras such as school pictures and
rings. This could be an area where a local organi
zation could be of help.
Hobby Show being held
The Lansing Craft and Hobby Show and Sale will'
be held at the Lansing Civic Center from noon until
10 p. m. on November 13, 14 and 15.
Displays will be set up showing various crafts and
hobbies. Included will be such items as rock jewel
ry. sewing and fancywork, photography, ceramics,
oil painting, chair caning, gift wrapping and fancy
bows, dolls, wood craft, copper enameling and an
tiques as well as many other areas of interest.
Announce restaurant sale
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Foote have announced the
selling of their cafe on Main Street, Nashville to
Mrs. Foote's sister and husband, Mr. and Mb. Victor
Bosworth.
The cafe will maintain the same hours under the
new management as they have in the put.
NUMBER 25
Richard Stout named
Nashville bank assistant

curity National Bank, named Arthur J. Schmidt,

Frank Scramlin. former Nashville bank manager,
came to Nashville in February of 1961. He had been
the manager of this branch until he terminated his
employment in October of this year.
Goal is being reached
The Nashville Area United Fund chairman, M rs.
Harry Laurent, reports that checks are still coming
to the treasurer, Mrs. Nelson Brumm. Little by lit
tle the goai is being reached. Gratitude is express
ed to those persons whose territory had no volunteer
this year and yet cared enough to help otheB in the
United way.
Remember that some of the health agencies
in
which most of the local people have some penonal
interest are: The Arthritis Foundation, Michigan
Heart Association, Michigan Kidney Foundation,
Children's Lukemia Foundation of Michigan, (furnish
es blood for children and adulu plus other services),
Leader Dogs for the Blind, Michigan Diabetes Associ
ation and others.
Local funds are not to be forgotten which are in
cluded. There is still an opportunity to share in this
United project that benefits so many in so many ways.
RICHARD STOUT
Frank had been employed by Security National
Bank in Battle Creek for six years before his trans
fer to the Nashville branch. He is a 1952 graduate
of the School of Business Administration of Michi
gan State UniveBity and is a veteran of the Korean
conflict,
He and his wife Ddrlene and three children make
their home in Nashville. He has been active in the

The plight of ignorance that made Chicken-Little
a classic figure in children's literature is still, i n
this enlightened age, a condition which is not u n common. We are all mote or less ignorant regard
ing marten of more or less importance.
When Chicken-Little ran and cried, "The sky is
falling! I'm going to tell the King!" there was quick
enlistment of gullible believers in the frenzied er
rand. The cry was heard; the cry was believed;the
pip-squeak's call of alarm was given credence with
out question.
Being creatures of a high order, we charitably
view with amusement the misguided spread erf alarm
engendered by Chicken-Little, Henny-Penny, DuckyLucky, and the rest. Hardly amusing, however, is
a present-day local rumor: "The Mausoleum is Fall-,,
ing Down!"
The mausoleum in Nashville's Lakeview Ceme
tery is a sound structure. The roof was resurfaced
last summer. Next year, the interior walls will be
refinished.
It is doubtful that any one of Chicken-Little's des
cendants should be blamed for the fallacious rumor.
Probably, the mausoleum has never been seen by
any chicken. One might suppose that a garrulous
descendant of Squirrely-Whirly started the alarm.
*
' re is no evidence to support that supposition,
fact remains: the mausoleum is NOT falling
down!

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan. Thursday. November 13, 1969
�School Board meeting held
The Board of Education of the Maple Valley School
district Monday evening, heard recommendations
made concerning the two railroad crossings within
the Nashville village limits in a letter from the Pub
lic Service Commission of the State Department of
Commerce.
For the Penn Central railroad crossing on East Reed
Street, it was recommended that a track-activated
side-of-street flashing light signals be installed. For
' the Sherman Street crossing it was suggested improve
ments might be made in the physicalcrosstng and
the replacement of antiquated crossbuck by modern
signing.
The Reed Street crossing has been a matter of con
cern since 1963, after original complaint by the Ma
ple Valley schools, and has been the subject of num
erous inspections and surveys. The Sherman Street
crossing was called to the attention of the State De
partment in April of this year. The two crossings han
dle two scheduled Penn Central trains daily, one in
each direction, at allowed speeds of 30 miles per
hour. Vehicular traffic at the Reed Street is now es
timated at upwards of 1,000 each 24 hours, based on
partial counts. Peak traffic reaches 156 vehicles In a
single hour. School bus crossings total 25 on each
school day, transporting about 850 children.
The
school and school transportation officials
ate still highly critical of roadway approaches over
the “S“ curve. While the crossing angle has been es
tablished at approximately 90 degrees by road re-a
lignment, the curves approaching the crossing have
been made so abrupt thar school bus drivers state they
are unable to remain in their own lanes. Growth ob
struction to visibility of approaching the crossing has
also been a problem.

At the Sherman Street creasing there is an alarm
bell of 1909 vintage. It was recommended by t he
Public Service Commission that this be allowed to
remain for what value it might have, pending mod
ernization of the automatic protection at some fu
ture time. It was recommended, however, that mod
em reflectorized crossbucks be installed and that 36inch reflectorized advance warning signs be install
ed in normal locations on all three approaches to
the crossing, two on Sherman Street and one on
Lentz Street. (Lentz Street dead-ends at Sherman).
No 24-hour traffic count was available at the Sher
man Street crossing, but at peak periods the traffic
has been estimated at approximately 60 vehicles
per hour. There are three school bus crossings each
school day, carrying a total of approximately 160
children. The Sherman Street crossingnow
consists of two tracks, one of which is active and
one which has been stubbed on both sides of the
street. It was recommended that the stubbed track
be removed and the street surface properly replaced,
and that the crossing of the active track be properly
repaired or replaced, whichever is necessary. It was
also agreed and recommended that the crossing a
larm bell remain, but that it be relocated by a few
feet to avoid it being an obstruction to traffic in turn
maneuvers between Sherman and Lentz Streets.
Other portions of the letter stated: “While vehicle
vehicle collisions are not a primary matter within
the jurisdiction of this Commission, a basic hazard
and matter of concern is created by the possibility of
such an accident at a railroad crossing. A vehicle,
especially a school bus, damaged in proximity to a
railroad track becomes vulnerable to even more
hazard in event of train approach...........
"Tentative plans were made at the April, 1969,
inspection for sufficient widening and adjustment
of the centerline of Reed Street on both approaches
to this crossing to satisfy the requirements of school
authorities. It was agreed and recommended that
village and school authorities would cooperate in
detailed engineering of the project. It was also re
commended that upon completion of the plans the
railroad would extend its crossing to the extent nec
essary over the traveled portion of the roadway.
"As of the inspection now reported, no progress
has been made- in improvement of approaches.
"It is also noted that there appeared less than full
compatibility between the village and school offic
ials present at the various inspections...........“
At the time of the last regular council meeting
no letter from the commission had been received.
In other business at Monday night's session Supt.
Carroll Wolff reported that the new furniture has
been delivered for the classrooms at Maplewood,
and at Fuller Street Elementary. Folding tables at
the Kellogg School should be received by the mid
dle of the month.

Schalaw Rambler does not desire to continue with
the school car program. No plans for the immediate
future were taken, but Supt. Wolff was asked
to

The response to the adult education classes was
not too encouraging. Ed. Sampson, however, will
continue to try to cfevelop more interest in classes
for this year.

The Barry County Department of Social Services
would like all schools to adopt a policy whereby
children from direct relief and ADC families be a
ble to present their Medical Assistance card where
by they can obtain used school books without charge
to the family. However, the Maple Valley Board
did not feel the policy was justifiable in approving
a blanket policy. In the past they have considered
fevery case on an individual basis; regarding whether
■ or not they might be receiving any aid from the
county, and voted to continue this method.

coatruction of au indoor swimming pool which
would be available to area residents. They would
apply for some of the construction funds from a fed
eral program which seems available. A major con
cern is the sharing of operational costs. Thus the
committee is contacting schools and community or
ganizations. It is the intention of the committee
now that the facility would be available to the area
schools for instructional purposes during regular
school day. The Maple Valley Board is interested in
further information and will check further, probably
inviting a committee member to meet with them at
a future board meeting.
New ticket prices for all athletic games was ap
proved by the hoard. They were recommended by
high school principal, Jim Wynes. The prices are
in keeping with other area schools, and will go in
to immediate effect.
This year the Maple Valley School has 12 students
involved in the Co-Op program. The major purpose
of Co-Op is to provide m-school youths with some
basic competencies in selected occupations, and
was organized last year. The program is designed •
primarily for seniors. Lyman Baker, who is inchaige
of the program this year, is to be invited to attend
the next regular board meeting to evaluate the pro

CHURCH WOMEN UNITED HOLD WORLD COM
MUNITY DAY
Church Women United adopted new by-laws at
their meeting last Thursday, November 6, and in
cluded a change in their name — to Church Wom
an United in Barry County, instead of "the Hastings
Area. "
The occasion was the observance of World Com
munity Day at Hope United Methodist Church i n
Hastings for a morning coffee with the Rachel Cir
cle as hostesses. Church women from all corners of
Barry County brought in their special projects to be
sent out to areas of need here and abroad by Church .
World Service: about 250 yards of cotton material
(this collection of yard goods sparked by a "Mile of
Style" project of Middleville United Methodist
Church), new layettes and children's clothing for
Asia, leper bandages, and gifts of money to pur
chase 92 blankets.
Mn. Delmond Culler of rural Nashville was
chairman for the day's program which had the em
phasis "Christians in International Development. "
Mrs. Leon West was organist, and Mrs. Culler led
the worship service on the theme, To Whom Much
is Given, " assisted by Mrs. Claude Ridley, Mrs.
Arthur Heisler, Mrs. David Otto, Mrs. Robert Shan
non, Mrs. Howard Ferris, Mrs. Wesley Logan and
Mrs. Willard Curtis.
Mrs. John R. Steketee of Grand Rapids spoke most
inspirationally and yet in a constructively unsettling
way on the topic, "It's About Time!" She said as
she looked at Christian women she saw women who
are 1. Shocked; 2, basically, if we would admit
it, too lazy to commit ourselves; 3, understanda
ble afraid at the rapid and revolutionary changes
taking place in the world today.
"It's aoout time," she said, "for church women to
move out of our comfortable Christian cocoon
and do more than stay in our own circles with peo
ple of the same mind, showing concern only by
sending love and prayer and boxes of clothing I We
need, by study and action, to meet head-on the
basic issues of social and economic justice, to help
make things right in the harsh world. "
This will be jolting and uncomfortable, but to
quote from the Book of Esther as Mrs. Steketee did
at tjie close of her talk, "Who knows whether you
have not come to the kingdom for such a time as
this?"

Dear friends,
V Z
The human body was div
inely created ,to house a soul;
they are so intertwined during
life that the human mind re
quires time to accept the fact
of their separation in death.
Therefore, it is natural,
proper and wholesome that the
bereaved should respect the
physical body which remains
here on earth, and desire
that its disposition be rever
ently accomplished.
Respectfully,

Measles vaccine program
A concerted statewide effort is underway to pre
vent an expected widespread epidemic of three-day
measles in 1970.
This will be done by immunizing all the children
in grades K through 3, not so much to prevent these
youngsters from having the disease, but to prevent
its spread to their possibly pregnant mothers where
records show a high ■ precentage of deformed babies
following the infection in the mother.
Your local health department is going to be in
volved in carrying out this program and plans to do
this right in the schools.
Tbe vaccine, to be furnished by the state, will
not be available in this area until about January 1,
so that present plans indicate a mid-January pro
gram in Barry and Eaton Counties.

There’s a special delight in cutting down your
own Christmas tree and hauling it home to your fire
side. Many Michigan residents traveling to the north
country before the holidays, such as deer hunters,
continue this nostalgic tradition.
However, transportation of Christmas trees, and
evergreen bougte is illegal in Michigan without a
bill of sale or proof of property ownership. Provisions
of the law are spelled out by the Michigan Depart
ment of Agriculture.
During December, an exception to the law permits
transportation of not more than two trees without a
bill of sale, if they were legally obtained. Necess
ary legal forms are available from the Lansing and
regional offices of Michigan Department of Agricul
ture, State Police Posts, county extension offices
and county sheriffs.

NUMBER 26
The Maple Valley Board of Education was includ
ed in a recent survey relative to reorganization of
local school districts. The question, sponsored by
the Onekama Consolidated schools and Bear Lake
schools asked, "Does your board of education be
lieve that school district reorganization is the ans
wer to your school problems?* The Maple Valley
replied "no. ”
In all 262 inquiries were sent out, covering dis
tricts with enrollments of 1-500 students; 501-1000;
1001-1500 and 1501-2000. Of the 207 schools re
sponding to the questionaire, 34 voted "yes;" 156
voted "no" and 17 were undecided.
Now another resolution is being sent out by the
same source. This reads: "Be it resolved by the

Postmasters Wilma F. DeCamp of Nashville and
Lawrence Frith of Vermontville attended the Eighth

organization of local school districts as proposed in
Senate Bill Na 1081. "Further, that no reorgani
zation of local districts be forth-coming without ap
proval of the majority of the people residing in the
districts involved.
"Further, inasmuch as the Legislature has admit
ted the need for assessment (S. B. No. 1078) in or
der to evaluate the educational programs of all
school districts, it is our belief that it is premature
to reorganize school districts until the assessment
has been completed.
"Further, if the other aspects of Educational Re
form are fulfilled, it would strengthen the position
of the smaller school districts. Based on per-capita
costs, the facts show that the smaller school dis tricts are more economically operated than the
larger districts. Therefore, by providing Vocation
al Education, Special Education, eta , through the
Intermediate Districts, and increasing the State’s
responsibility to finance education, we could main
tain the many assets of the small school districts,
and at the same time, solve the major problems
without the need of reorganization. "
This resolution the Maple Valley Board of Educa
tion voted to sign.

out of the ordinary takes place at schooL It had
been reported to me that____________ (here the
name of our daughterwas written in) was wearing a
black arm band in school this week. I feel that you
might be interested in knowing of this.
Sincerely,
James Wynes, principal
We here print the answer to that letter because
we too have some Strong feelings about the right to
object and the morals even the politics and eco
nomics of some of the things that are going on in
this world today.
Dear Jim:
Thank you for your recent letter alerting us to
the "out-of-the-ordinary" behavior of our daugh
ter, Alisande, in schooL We are truly apprecia
tive of your concern and are gratified to think you
would want to fill us in on any out-of-the-ordinary
behavior on the part of our school children.
In this particular case, however, our daughter
wore the black arm band with our knowledge and
witfi our consent. We believe she is mature e
nough, as should be any other high school student,
to form some judgments of her own on the morals,
the expediency, the right and the wrong, even the
economics, of certain actions of our country.
Apparently, Jim, you did not understand the
reason for the black arm bands. Certainly, had
you, you would not have considered this out-ofthe-ordinary in the least. One as close to the youth
of our community as you certainly should not con
sider a protest to war and killing out-of-the ordin
ary. Or, should you?
The black arm band has, for centuries, been a
mark of mourning among Christian peoples.
Thousands of boys have died in a senseless war,
an unpopular war, but to mourn the deaths of these
boys has become something unpatriotic, subversive
and out-of-the-ordinary.
The fact that your letter was mimeographed
with blanks left for the writing in of the names
would indicate to me that perhaps more than one
individual wore a black arm band on Thursday.
I have heard that some in authority at the Maple
Valley Schools have said the war moratorium is
communist-inspired and led. I believe such a state
ment is not only out-of-the-ordinary, it is uncalled
for, un-principled and totally untrue. I hardly

are just a fe.w of the prominent people, not j ust

a moratorium.)
I must confess that I, as old as I am, displayed
some "out-of-the-ordinary" behavior last Thurs

a great war and have seen the results of the Nazis
and the Communists dictating to youth what they
may and may not believe, can see the folly of
sucn a course of action.
Democracy must be taught, not so much by rote
as by example. Democracy will suffer and will die
if we deny our young people the privilege of pro

Dear Sir;
We have all been hearing much about the new law
to outlaw cyclamates - but nothing has been said a
bout the food and food supplements they also wish to
ban.
Food supplements are officially classified as foods
in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Ch IV
(Food), Section 403 (J). Congress gave the FDA the
function and duty to protect the public from noxicNB
and toxic substances, not to ban foods from the mar
ket place. The FDA has simply overstepped its Con
gressional mandate.
God made us our own free moral agents. He gave
us freedom of choice. The constitution guarantees
the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
But the government, which is sworn to protect those
rights is itself fast usurping this God-given privilege,
when it takes away our choice regarding foods, vita
of “
vital
mins, minerals, etc. - all of which is c*
***’ con
trary, if one
cern to the entire population of the cour
e
wishes to be in optimum health. Over 21 .
population suffers from diabetes alone. 95, 959, 534
persons were chronically ill and only 1. 3*Jfc of the en
tire population was sufficiently well as not to consult
a doctor in 1964.
FDA is limiting the content of vitamin and miner
al in capsules to such a low level as to be of little
therapeutic value. But considering the tremendously^
large number of chronically ill and the extremely
small number (1.3%) of the truly health--should our
privilege of trying to improve our condition by food
supplements be taken from us? Is it not unconstitu
tional?
Yeast, desiccated liver, some B vitamins and as
yet incompletely understood nutrients, will not be
permitted to be sold without a prescription - making
the price up to 30 times more to the consumer. And
it win be the Senior Citizens who will be the most
effected by this - the ones who need it worst and
have the least where-with to buy. Five essential vit
amins, B6 (Adelle Davis in her book, "Let's Get
a used by the genetic

ium), B 12, Folic
lack of vitamin B6 and magnesium),
Acid, pantothenic acid and vitamin E will be option
al ingredients in vitamins.
And why are they tampering with yeast - of all
things? Yeast has all of the B vitamins, all of the
important minerals and all of the amino acids. It is
such a perfect protein that it has been said that it
might one day save this nation from starvation. For
the diabetic and obese it is a naturaL It contains lit
tle carbohydrate and fat and is a high quality, com
plete protein.
Mrs. Adelle Davis is a nationally known nutrionist.
Please do read her book "Lets.Get well" and note
well the chapter, "The Fortress Against Disease."
You will better undetstand what I am trying to say,
and how very serious it is - this tampering with na
ture's own gift to man - foods - and with our God
given rights - the freedom of choice - and it is un
constitutional also.
The FDA is made up of a group of men who ap
parently are quite ignorant in the field of nutrition.
Nutrition has developed into a highly technical sci
ence, a full time specialty itself?
Why do they
not hire a nutritionist if they wish to meddle so as
to meddle with the least possible detriment to man
kind.
Wont each person reading this, write a letter of
protest to your Senator, your Congressman, the Pres
ident of American Association of Retired Persons
and bring it to the attention of your chapter of Sen
ior Citizens so they too will have an opportunity to
voice their protest on this most vital and latest as
sault on our rights and privileges accorded to man
by his creator, guaranteed by the constitution of
the United States, and sworn to be upheld by the
government of this, greatest of all nations of the
world - to keep her people free.
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Marion Hamm

Reinhart Zemke, who is probably the largest
sheep and lamb man in Eaton County had his lambs
sheared this past week. Two of the nation's top
shearers were doing the work at the farm located
on Brown Road, north of Vermontville.
They are Carl Southard of Martinsville, TIL , who
has been shearing for 23 years, and Dale Culp of
Goshen, Ind., a shearer tor 16 years. These men
are well known throughout Michigan
:higan by sheep own
own-
ers and in numerous other states and Canada as
welt Their speed in stripping the wool from the
animals has won for them national honors.
.
Southard was named International Champion this
year. He was the National Champion in 1965 and
won the Canadian honor in 1960. He was one of a
three-man team to take top honors in Iowa this
year, and he took second place in the Sweepstakes
in Detroit this year.
Culp was the' Indiana State Champion in 1962,
and took Canadian honors in both 1966 and 1967
This year he was in the top five winners in the Na
tional contest.
Southard has sheared sheep in seven states this
year, and Culp in four. These men average 20 0
sheep a day, and, depending on the size and con
dition of the sheep can completely remove the
wool in 1 1/2 to 3 minutes.
In commenting on their work both claim some
breeds are easier to shear than others, but declined
to name the breed, since their work also depends
on the care the animals.have received.
They both agree man should use more wool, be
cause ‘it is the best fibre there is--far superior to
man-made materials.
Security offers
FREE Checkin
Accounts to
In their own work, which is "back-breaking" to
say the least, due to the position they have to stand
to shear the sheep. Southard claims that if he wears
wool garments on his back he never suffers from
stiffening of muscles. "The only trouble is-,wool
underwear is getting extremely difficult to purchase
except in the more northerly states or in Canada. "
Both feel the trend in using wool fibres is gradually
on the rise, and will be greatly increased when
"wool shrinkage" and "moth" problems are over
come, along with improved ease in handling the
woolen materials as compared the modern arip-dry
and no-iron fabrics.
Zemke is one of the very few farmers to have his
lambs sheared. He plans to have between 900 and
1,000 ready for market by late December or early
January. Those he is having sheared weigh approxi
mately 80 pounds now, and he will keep them until
they reach around 100 pounds before marketing. He
feels those last few pounds can more easily be put
on after they are sheared—primarily because the
lambs are more inclined to stay in the barn during
the colder weather, thereby being less active. He
raises "feeder lambs" and purchases both local and
' western lambs.
Mr. Zemke is president of the Maple Valley
school board and has been associated with the board
for approximately 20 years, having served in V e r montville before the Nashville-Vermontville merg
er. He is also one of the largest maple syrup pro
duces in the area.

Postmasters added, "if it still contains a mountain
of messages of love and cheer that didn't make it
because they were mailed too late. "
Winter season is here
SCHOOL CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The winter season is nearly here and most likely
it will be necessary to close school some days be
cause of storms and road conditions. Any announce
ments pertaining to school not being in session will
be made through the following radio stations.
WILS, Lansing. WKZO, Kalamazoo. WBCK,
Battle Creek. WOOD, Grand Rapids. WCER, Char
lotte and WBCH, Hastings.
Announcements in the evening on the Hastings
station will be given only on FM broadcast as well
as any announcements between 6:00 a. m. and the
time when the regular broadcast begins each morn-
^Vhen school is in session and it is necessary to
announce that school will be let out early because
of road conditions, such announcements will be
made only on the Charlotte and Hastings stations.
Any change or cancellation of noon kindergarten
routes because of road conditions will be announc
ed on the Hastings and Charlotte radio stations.
SCHOOL BOARD POLICY RELATED TO SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES WHENSCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION:
All regular scheduled athletic events and other
school events shall be postponed on days when it is
impossible to have school in session because of
weather or road conditions, with the exception of
participation in state scheduled and sponsored school
activities such as the state high school athletic
such
when school is not in

thecancelling
cancellingof any athletic practice or
other type of practice for any school event during
the regular school day shall be at the discretion of
the building principal.
Such disappointments can be avoided if Christmas
mailers will observe the following mailing schedule:
Gift parcels going to distant states should be mail
ed bv December L Parcels going to local and near
by areas should be mailed r»t later than December
13.
The name and address of both the sender and ad
dressee should be enclosed in.each gift parcel to per
mit identity in case of damage or lost of the outside
labeL The outside label should be placed on only
one side of each parcel
Greeting cards going to distant states should be
mailed not later man December 10. Cards going to
local and nearby areas should be mailed by Decem
ber 15.
Postmasters DeCamp and Frith also emphasized
the importance of using Zip codes and adding a- return address to all Christmas maiL It only taK<tes a
couple of extra seconds, but pays big dividends.
Zip codes enable postal employees to sort and han
dle the mail faster. A return address ensures that
mail that can't be delivered because of an illegible
or incomplete mailing address will be returned to
the sender.
"A return address might not seem very important. "
your Postmasters noted, "but last year over 32 mil
lion pieces of mail went to postal dead letter bran
ches because the mailing address couldn't be read
and there was no return address on the envelope. If
you estimate the worth of each of these pieces at
twenty-five cents, including postage, postal custom
ers lost over $7. 5 million last year to dead letter of
fices. And nene of this would have happened if the
envelopes had contained a return address. "

MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
o
REHABILITATION NEEDS MONEY .
though educational reform has been receiving a
great deal of attention lately, there was hardly a
ripple when a Department of Education report on
Michigan's vocational rehabilitation program was
made public,
.
The report includes an in-depth study of Mich
igan's program and a comparison of the program with
with those in other states.
It showed Michigan spends the equilivant of 35
cents per resident on ia vocational cehabilitation
programs. This ranks the state 45th among the 54
states and territories covered.
The report also showed Michigan is missing out
on mil lions of federal dollars for rehabilitation pro
grams because the Legislature does not appropriate
matching funds. During the cunent year alone, the
report said, Michigan wifi lose $6. 8 million in fed
eral funds and it would only take $1. 5 million in
state money to attract the funds.
The report is the result of a three-year study be
gun after the Legislature authorized statewide plan
ning granu for vocational rehabilitation in 1965.
The State Board of Education appointed the study
board, which was headed by Don Galvin, director
of vocational rehabilitation in the departments.
More than 1,000 persons participated in the study
before it was completed, representing every shade
of the spectrum in the area of vocational rehabilita
tion.
The survey concluded that 230, 000 Michigan res
idents currently.are eligible for and could benefit
from rehabilitation services of the department. Yet,
it said, inadequate funding and personnel result in
services to only 7, 000 of these people.
The problem is made mote acute by the fact an
additional 45,000 persons reach employable age
each year burdened with a residual limitation that
began in childhood or suffer a chronic illness or in
jury.
Among all the constraints and limitations under
which the rehabilitation program operates, none
are more serious than those resulting from insuffi cient funding," the report said.
"A substantial general state appropriation
in
crease would allow the department the freedom and
flexibility to develop programs where they are need
ed rather than providing additional resources to al
ready well endowed districts, " it said.
"An estimated $23. 6 million in federal funds has
been authorized for release to the state of Michigan
for vocational rehabilitation services in fiscal 1971,"
the report said. "A state appropriation of approxi
mately $5. 9 million would be sufficient tp capture
all available federal funds and would assure a total
budget for vocational rehabilitation services of
$29. 5 million.
"If the Department of Education’s Division of Vo
cational Rehabilitation is expected to adequately
serve the disabled and the disadvantaged, the pro
gram must be supported by the state and federal gov
ernment in a manner commensurate with this o b jective, " the report concluded.
BOARD REACTS
'
Most membeB of the State Board of Education
have been working hard in recent weeks in an effort
to kill the Governor's proposal to abolish the board.
The board started out in a bad spot, since the Gov
ernor was making that recommendation at the same
time Ira Polley was being forced out of office as su
perintendent of public instruction.
On the footsteps of the Governor's request that the
board be abolished came a statment from the board
outlining 25 achievements it said were the result of
its existence.
Several board membeB have been seen in Lansing
talking to members of the Legislature, trying to se
cure votes against the proposaL
One recent action came in the form of a board
newsletter intended to show that the board membeB
do things at meetings besides calling each other
names.
It is entitled "Education... Action" and summar
izes actions taken by the board at its meetings.
The first newsletter came out after the October 14
15 meeting at which Dr. John Porter was hired as act
ing superintendent of public instruction.
Accenting the "action" theme, the newsletter writea underline the verb in each sentence which tells
that the board adopted something, approved some
thing, accepted a report, agreed to something, etc.

Council files application
for sewage extension money
The Nashville Council on Thursday evening ap
proved a resolution to file an application with the
Farmers Home Administration in the amount of
$291,500 for water improvement and sewer ex
tensions. The plans include the construction of a
new 400,000 gallon water tower, bigger water lines
and the completion of the sewer extensions.
Williams & Works Engineering Company of Grand
Rapids has been drawing, up' the plans, and attending
Thursday night's meeting were Ed Fleece, engineer,
and Andrew Hustvedt who works closely with federal
loan and grant programs.
The Maple Valley Jaycees are the new sponsor of
the Boy Scout Troop No. 177. They contacted the
council regarding the re-opening of the Scout Hall,
Stewart Graham, from the Council, was appointed
by President Harold Christiansen to check out the
details with the Jaycees.
John Hamp, from the Barry County Planning
Committee, made a detailed report on a long-range
program for the development of recreation parks
throughout the county with an eye toward a state
grant which hopefully will be available within a
year or two. He explained the need for developing
a master plan for the needs, and ask the village to
help with the cost. No action was taken by the
Council, but Christiansen indicated the village
would be interested in studying local needs as a
part of the county plan.
The Layne Northern Company ask that a contract
be drawn up between the company and the Village
regarding an annual inspection for pump mainte
nance at a cost of $75 per pump per year. The mat
ter was tabled for the present.
•
Ben Kenyon of the Police Committee reported
that the new police cruiser would arrive in approxi
mately ten days.
In addition to the regular bills, the council voted
another $250 to the Maple Grove -Castleton Fire
Board. This amount is set up in the regular yearly
budget
The Council then again tackled the study of the
much-discussed Reed Street railroad crossing. The
"S" curve across the Penn Central railroad is used
daily by school buses transporting students to the
junior-senior high school building, and the Maple
Valley school authorities would like to see some
improvements made. The crossing has been under
consideration for several years and the village has
made numerous improvements. After a lengthy
discussion, the Council decided to invite county
and state road commission membets in to assist in
solving the problem.

THANKSGIVING DAY is a time for all of us to
ve thanks for the blessing* we share -- opportun-
to enjoy our own way of life.
Thanksgiving has been the traditional start of
the Christmas season for the past several yean now.
Not too long ago though. Christmas didn't start
'til just a week or so before the big day.
This year I noticed Christmas decorations in the
city stores at least a month ago and some of them
even have had Santa on duty for weeks. They seem
to start it just a little sooner each year.
I don't know whether this starting the Christmas
N season early is a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe
it just doesn't matter one way or the other. I have
to admit though, it does look good to see the town
all decked out in Christmas trimmings. Perhap*
it is good to stretch the season of joy, peace and
good will. We can stand more of that.
Mrs. Firster has been directing the plays for more
years than I know. We have been here eleven
year* and she has directed the senior play every
year since we have been here. This is service
beyond the call of duty and should be recognized.
There is a lot more to teaching than just turning
up in the morning and sticking around until the
kid* have gone home. It takes several hours each
week of activities such as directing the play or
sponsoring a school organization.
It is this extra dedication that make* Grew some-,
thing more than just a teacher. She is a friend to
the kids and is the one they come back to see
years after they are out of school.
Mrs. Firster is to -be congratulated on the job
she did again this year with the members of the
Senior Play cast. Few people realize the amount
of work that goes into a production such as this.
The play ran only two nights but it took weeks of
rehearsals to prepare for that two night run.
It take* a lot of dedication on the part of the
kids and the director to come back to work every
night rehearsing and polishing the. play.
It seem* almost yesterday that we sat down to a
Thanksgiving dinner and now it is that time again.
We have a lot to be thankful for . . . We also
have a lot to do to make other people thankful.
The following article was brought to our attention
by Fred Ackett who said he thought it was printed in
a Nashville News of many years ago. We thought it
would be of interest to our readers, so we are re
printing it for you.

Sitting at the desk waiting
wait! for a long distance call
to go through, we scanned the names in the new tel
ephone directory and played a game that is very sil
ly but sorta fun. It goes like this:
Once a-pun a time a LASS went into a store and
when the MANN came after a LONG time to wait on
her she said, "I want to PURCHIS a BRUMM to sweep
SNOW off the HATCH. ”
"You mean a HATCH like on a SHUPP that you
ROE in the water?" asked the MANN.
"Yes, my FREUND is MATE on a FISHER boatand
he KENT BARRETT when the HATCH is covered. He .
says it OUGHTON happen. Now I' 11 ask you VANCE
MOORE. Why don't GILLETT me see a BRUMM. I
BROT a FLOOR of NICHOLS my MATER gave me
and I reckon I've got the PRICE."
So the MANN ROSE and said, "All WRIGHT.
It is also a time to pause and look around us at
the beauty which we have in our midst. The pic
ture above is just one example of the wonderful
world we have at our fingertips to enjoy.
--News Photo
you're the BAAS, ” and TURUNEN to FACE t he
shelf he began to REED off PRICES. The LASS inter
rupted angrily.
HARVEY going to get anywhere this way? I can't
stay FURLONG, SHULL I go now ORR SHULL I get
down on my NEASE. ORR WELL you quit PATTEN
those BRUMMS and show them to me? I didn't come
to STEELE one, I came to make a PURCHIS."
"Usually T m a KUHLMAN, ’ said the CLARK,
"hut if you EVALET me get mad, MaRK my WOOD
I'm STRONG and ready to MIX with any man. But
with you my PULTZ pounds and I'm unable to MAR
SHALL up am emotion but SURINE BLISS. STILL I
know my PLACE."
My FREUND, ” replied the young lady, "you're
noisy as a PARROTT and slow as a TUTTLE, and
look considerably like the LATTA. AYERS your
manners?"
Fortunately the phone call came thru at that mo
ment, ending this sort of thing. We're going to
print it with the diabolical hope that someone else
will get started at the same pastime. It will drive
one nuts in time. Beware!
It is hard to believe that twice in a year we have
had men on the moon and brought them back. This
is a wonderful bit of doing and it cost a pretty penny
Any country that could do such a thing as this,
that could afford to spend this kind of money, should
be able to find a cure for cancer. Any country that
can send two men to walk on the moon should be
able to take a few men out of the slum*. If we are
smart enough to go to the moon we should be smart
enough to start cleaning up our rivers and the air
we breath.

Call me a hawk if you like, but I must certainly
disagree with your idea (Bactatreet Barometer, No
vember 13, 1969) that the peace marchers are just
a bunch of serious kids who really think we should
stop a war. At best, they are misguided and need to
spend more time taking a long, hard look at their
history books.
Without a doubt, most Americas patriots at Lex

’ quest to learn about and be active in society as it is
outside the Maple Valley version.
I am still very much interested in the young
people of our area even though I have since moved
away. I hate to see them get short-changed in
their learning processes because of the fact that
they are from the "country” and are not able to be
exposed to the happenings of the outside world.
These are great kids who deserve to have tbe
opportunity to "get involved" and express their own
opinions on issues that are and will be directly
effecting their lives for some time. I hope that
you will agree with me that instead of being en
couraged not to rock the boat, these young people
should be stimulated to think for themselves and be
socially conscious.
Mr. Boughton, I hope that you will print this

certain teachers and administrators at Maple Valley
will read it and possibly reevaluate themselves
and their teaching methods.

We would like to thank you for your letter which
so aptly expressed our feelings. We are students *
who received letters for wearing arm bands in
school last week.
We were told by a faculty member that tbe
letters were an administrative attempt to establish
a line of communication between the parents and
students. This is not really a reason, it's an ex
cuse. It is ironic that when education, which
should ideally be an alternative to censorship, is
actually promoting unjustified censorship.
This so called line of communication should have
been opened before. As you pointed out, there
have been many unusual happenings in our school
that the parents knew little of. Abo, there are
some not so unusual things that parents know little
of, such as various board policies and decisions
which need to be explained, but there is some
hesitancy to open a line of communication where
it is really needed. The letters we received were
not mere chit-chat to let the parents know school
news, it was a report of what the administration felt
was poor behavior, thus equating us with other stu
dents who have received similar letters in the past.
Several of tbe teachers would not allow students
into their classes with arm bands (an action which
was ruled unconstitutional in a South Carolina
district court). Tbe adminisf-tion discouraged ’
self-expression when it should be working to nuture
it. Look at our country, Mr. Boughton. One of
our greatest problems u apathy. Yet in our school,
you must eitner see eye-to-eye with the administra
tion, or simply be quiet. There are persons who
feel that if you are against the United States involve
ment in Viet Nam, you are entangled in a Commun
ist plot. Mr. Boughton, we are not being “duped”
by tbe communists, but neither will we be forced
into a position by allowing the persons who are
in favor of the Viet Nam policy to glue their
ridiculous labels to us. We are a minority of stu
dents who have taken an interest in the world about
us. We don't hold all the a rowers, yet we are still
searching, and we must find our own answers.
A person cannot say, "I made this decision in 1950
on my trip to the Russian embassy; this makes me
an authority, and my decision is best. " We are
individuals who are trying to avoid the old pitfalls,
and shall work toward a better world.

Dear Mr Boughton,
I was just sitting down to study when I received
a phone call from my father. During the ensuing
conversation it was brought to my attention that
there was an article in our hometown newspaper
answering the notice concerning tbe wearing of
black arm bands in support of the moratorium. I

To the Editor,
Dear Mr. and Mis. Boughton,
I believe there is another side of the story on this
protesting children and adults have been participat
ing in.
We certainly do not consider a protest to the war
out of the ordinary, for all of us want peace. Espec
ially those of us who have boys there, and others
who will have boys coming up for draft.
When the enemy (Hanot) got on their radio and
praised the people of tbe United States who were
demonstrating, and were so overjoyed that all of
this was taking place, then L for one, think this
was not right!
Speaking of silent prayer, if everyone wb
rotested in tne moratoriums were on their kne
prayer, I do believe this would please God!
Having a boy in Vietnam, I sometimes wonder
what he and the other boys think when they bear the
people back home are having marches against our
government_and President, instead of upholding
them in prayer. No doubt it lowers our noys morale,
to think they are there fighting communism, and
here at home people are helping them by participa
ting in moratoriums.
Oh yes, and how do we really know how many
people in our high places of government are com- _
munist? I do not think they would tell us.
I do not know how to express my feelings as
I
would like, but I am very thankful this Thanksgiv
ing for many things. Especially those good people at
the Maple Valley Schools that are still teaching our
children the trutn of our fest founders of this coun
try.

state. I won't even go into detail about obvious fish
and wildlife aspects of such a project.
One of tbe dangers of a proposal ot such outrage
ous enormity is its effect upon people. They bear
of it and say, “ It is unbelievable. No one would
have the gall to propose such an open theft of such
proportions. And certainly the government won’t
let them get away with it." Then they sit back com
fortably in the knowledge that it will go away by it
self. It won't. Legislators receive no unfavorable
letters from tbe voters and perhaps owe a favor to
the backers and before anyone knows what happen
ed, it is approved. Then private property owners
and conservationists have an uphill fight to try to
get the approval reversed.
Don't wait for the project to be reintroduced in
the Legislature in January. Get a copy of the arti
cle, read it, pass it on to your friends and then
write your representative and senator about your re
action. Do something now.
Sincerely
Harvey Versteeg

Letter to the Editor & Readers
The Sunday, Nov. 23rd edition of the Grand
Rapids Press carried an article on Page D-l that all
citizens of southern Mf '' ;an should
' ' read.
- -It des
- cribes a privately proposed nlan
p)
for a Trans-Michigan Waterways System. Thisi system would convert
tbe cleanest and most beautil
beautiful of southern Michi
gan's rivers into canals for pleasure and commer
cial boats with locks, dams and dredged channels
controlling all water levels. If passed, the project
would also allow tbe private agency to set water
levels on all major streams involved and all tribu
tary streams, ditches and canals entering them, and
to purchase through condemnation, ail property
within 800 feet of these newly established water lev
els. Thus all private and public land within 800
feet of any potential new water level would be sub
ject to condemnation to be resold at a profit by the
developer to help pay for tbe project. This could
mean the end of Charlton Park and canoeing on the
Thornapple, not to mention all presently held pri
vate property along this beautiful river. The chan
nel would be dredged, straightened and controlled
by man-made devices. Tbe shallow rapids would
be gone as well as tbe natural banks. In short, it
would be converted into a canaL
provide water for thirsty south-central Michigan
towns and cities. If this were .needed, which the
area any further iu their
a purification plant only at tbe intakes, not at every
town along the way as with open canals. Also, es
sentially, all water pumped into a pipe comes out
the other end in about the same condition as it en
tered, With tbe open canal system much of the wa
ter pumped in at one end will evaporate along the
way and the rest is subject to contamination. Also,
a pipeline does little to effect the habitat of wild
animals and fish along iu route. All the dredging,
flooding and filling required by the proposed sys
tem would have drastic effects upon tbe balance of
nature in the entire region.
Instead of a solution to a water shortage problem,

Good cleaning and rapid cooling are two musts in pre
paring a freshly-killed deer for the tenderest, tastiest
results. Let’s suppose you’ve just bagged your first white
tail. What now? Assuming your deer is dead, first put your
rifle back on "SAFE” and attach the validation tag to the
animal. Cut open the entire body cavity, moving from be
tween rhe hind legs almost to the base of the neck (1),
Insert the kriife with the cutting edge UP and use your
first and second fingers to hold the skin and muscles UP
away from the innards. Next, remove the innards, working
down from the neck to the tail. Turn the deer belly down
and let it drain. Afterwards, tie the fore legs between tbe
antlers or beside the head (2) so it ill be easier to drag
the deer to camp. In camp, prop the carcass open (3) and
protect it from sun, rain, and flies in warm weather. If tbe
weather is warmish (above 55 degrees), head for a locker
plant or your home freezer. For the trip borne, carry the
carcass atop your car or across the trunk (4). Many a
venison dinner has been overheated and spoiled on the
front fender of a car.

Thirty volunteers attend
Charlton Park classes
The fall series of six classes for volunteer caxalogers at tbe Barry County Museum in Charlton Park
got off to a slow start. No one attended the first af
ternoon session and only two came in the evening.
The following two weeks made up for this; enough
to bring the total attending to 30. As might be ex
pected, many were from Hastings, but alio repre
sented was Nashville, Bellevue, Freeport, Caledon
ia, Woodland and Middleville.
A number of items were cataloged as pan of the
classes for practical experience. This helped clear
up some of the backlog of unprocessed recent gifts
to the museum. The fust volunteers to begin work
after attending a class also worked on recently pre
sented materials to help clear away the miscellan
eous items before serious work is begun on the hom
ogenous collections of material already on band.
Many volunteers prefer to work in small groups or
as couples. This makes the work both easier and
more ran. Also, in identifying and describing items,
two heads are often much better than one. Some
volunteers are also going to the library to get books
on the type of items they have chosen to work on.
The interests expressed run from guns and clocks
through dishes and typewriters. Each volunteer may
work on whichever collection he chooses, as long as
someone else hasn't already started on it.
One volunteer wished to help but was kept at home
by a small child. Thus Mrs. William (Jackie) Bat
tiste is typing neat record sheets and catalog cards
from the scratch pad notes made by other volunteers
actually working in the museum.
Museum Director Vetsteeg wishes to stress that
volunteers may be of help even if they didn't - at
tend one of the training sessions. They can be train
ed as they start to work on a collection. The class
es simply reduced the number of times he would
have to repeat himself in training volunteers. He al
so says that there are many other projects for inter
ested people. "Just tell me what you like to do and
I'll find a job for you, " he says.

The Maple Valley Jaycee Auxiliary will besetting

however, be decorated with the traditional tinsel
and balls. Instead, 'they will be decorated with mit
tens to help warm some little hands in the Nashville

The public is urged to help trim these trees. There
will be one set up at the Security National Bank in
Nashville and die other at Michigan National Bank
in Vermontville.

Dear friends,
It is natural that simple
faith, in time of bereavement,
be reinforced by religious
ceremony, and also by social
ceremony. Physical aspects,
such as casket and vaults,
provided they are prudently
selected by the bereaved
and are honest expressions
of sentiment', are helpful
symbols to carry the
bereaved family through
the trying days of grief.

A concerted statewide effort is underway to pre
vent an expected widespread epidemic of three-day
measles in 1970.
This will be done by immunizing all the children
in grades K through 3, not so much to prevent these
youngsters from having the disease, but to prevent
its spread to their possibly pregnant mothers where
records show a high precentage of deformed babies
following the infection in tbe mother.
Your local health department is going to be i n volved in carrying out this program and plant to do
this right in the schools.
‘
The vaccine, to be furnished by the state, will
not be available in this area until about January 1,
so that present plans indicate a mid-January p r o gram in Barry and Eaton Counties.

I haven't seen many deet coming back on cars
this year. One of my deer-hunting friends tells
me that it was a bad year. He did not get his deer
so I guess it was a baa year for him. Maybe it was
a good year forthe deer.
I understand Loren Garlinger came back from
up Hulben-way with a bear. I didn't get out to
see it while it was hanging in his barn, but I hear
it was really something.
Amy saw a deer run through the cornfield right
by our kitchen window just last week - she thought
it was a big dog at first.
I was talking to a fellow from the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources who told me that
last year the Wisconsin State Police picked up a
motorist-hunter with a Shetland pony he had shot
tied on the back of his car. The fellow thought
he had shot some rare kind of wild animal but be
said he wasn't sure just what it was. I have beard

Dear Mr. Boughton:
I read, with great pleasure, your reply to the
mimeographed letter you received from Mr. Wynes
regarding your daughter's black arm band during
the November Moratorium.
L too, observed the Moratorium days in "silent
prayer" for reasons identical to yours.
I am pleased most by the fact that Nashville
youth demonstrates its concera Too often youth's
criticism is dismissed because their experience and
power are not sufficient to suggest viable alterna
tives. This shouldn't, however, negate the value of
what they know, see, and feeL It is the responsi
bility of the "experienced and powerful” to evaluate
and initiate solutions. Why accept too little because
Utopia seems impossible?

Dear John,
After reading your letters to the editor, I would
like to write a note in behalf of our administrators
and teachers. We bad the privilege of graduating 4
children - 3 from the Nashville and Maple Valley
School system.
I can not recall one instance where either the
faculty or administrators attempted to stifle their
thinking or tried to keep them from being anything
but decent, well-bred, appropriately dressed young
people - with good American ideals.
Our son Mark (class of 61) has just returned to
Texas after a year's duty in Thailand where he
served in the Strategic Air Command. He has com
pleted nearly 8 years with this group.
I may conclude he had good moral training in
school to be so dedicated to his job.
He wrote from Thailand that someone had to be
doing that job and it might as well be him as some
one else. To me that is God given patriotism but
surely his school years must have been instrumen
tal in his character building.
I write for only one but I’m sure there are thou
sands of young men with this same attitude.
All arm bands bring to my mind are Hitler's
goose-stepping troops. I know these students weren't
om when this history took place but I'm sure to
most of their parents this is not a pleasant memory.
Let us give credit where credit is due for trying
to make our young men and women good American
citizens. Thanks to the standards set by our adminis
trators and teachers.
Respectfully,
Mary Norris
November 29, 1969
Dear Mr. Boughton;
'
’
'
.......... :
First of all I want to thank you for the assistance
which you have given the Northwood Baseball Camp
in the past. Enclosed you will find some brochures
on my camp for next year. This Is the only all
baseball summer camp in Michigan, and the interest
from youngsters and parents around the state has
been a great joy for me. Our first year. 1968, we
had 70 boys. Last year we had 155 boys. In 1970
we expect to have 275 boys. There is no doubt in
my mind we have the finest camp for boys inter
ested in baseball in the entire country.
I would appreciate it very much if you would in
form the youngsters of the Nashville-Vermontville
area about our 1970 camp. I would also like to
invite you and Mrs. Boughton up to Northwood on
June 21st 1970 from 2 pm until 6 pm the afternoon
the boys check in for our first week of camp. I am
sure you would enjoy the visit very much. Would
love to have you for dinner with the boys which
will be at 5 pm.
~
Thank you so very much.

�Citizens Band Radio Club
offers valuable help
Michigan Mirror
Hastings Citizens Band Radio Club begins a busy
holiday season. The season got underway with
the Christmas parade in Hastings, December 1st.
The radio patrol was called by the city police
office to help control tbe spacing of the parade
traffic. Mobile units were stationed at eight posts
along the parade route. A base station was set
up at the police hall and two port-a-pacs run by
Ike Babcock patroling the parade route and Fred
Wilcox hurriedly keeping pace with Cindy Sage,
keeping the parade running smoothly.
As results of hard work by club members their
float placed second in the parade. The plans for
the float were designed by one of the members,
Bev Backe. Many nours'of hard work took place
at the Backe residence.
Equipment, time and effort were donated by
club members. Our motto "to bring joy through
communications rescue" depicted Santa stuck In
a snow bank, desperately calling Mrs. Santa,
Dolores Mater for help. A modem rescue team
consisting of a motorcycle ridden by Jack Barnes
and a snowmobile ridden by Ed Backe, were pre
pared to aid in the rescue of Santa.
Next the club goes to Nashville, Satutday, Dec. 6
to display their float in the Christmas parade which
begins at 10 a. m.
To climax this week the Hastings Citizens Band
Radio Club will have their annual Christmas dinner
Sunday, December 7, at the Northeastern school.
Throughout the holiday season members host
open house and other social functions.

MOTIVES MADE CLEARER
When Ira Polley was forced to resign as sute
superintendent of public instruction this fall, he
said he had been farced out by a "parochiaid bloc"
on tbe board.
While mat observers close to the scene agreed
with Pojley's analysis of the situation, there was
really bo one thing they could put their finger on
to demonstrate this to the- public.
Then someone decided.ro check to see where
the five board members who forced Polley out
tend their own children to school.
It turned out four of them send all of their school
age children to parochial schools. The fifth, James
O'Neil. sent one of his children to a parochial
school for one year but the student didn't like it
and went back to public school
The five board members maintained their denial
that their close ties to parochial schools affected
their actions on the board.
"Having children in parochial schools does not
affect the decisions I make on the state board,"
said board member Edwin Novak of Flint.
But the disclosure opened up a new round of crit
icism of the beleaguered board, which can't seem
to keep itself out of the public eye.
Tbe Executive Secretary of tbe Michigan Educa
tion Association, Terry Herndon, said, *We MEA
leaders have long believed that a large measure
of Dr. Polley's difficulty resulted from the fact that
be would not support the diversion of public monies
-into private school coffers. "
.... One of the board's creators. State Rep. Jack Faxon,
D-Detroit, was more outspoken.
He said "it figured" that the board members had
their children in parochial schools.
"We created the board never realizing its occu
pants would be so provincial and narrow in their out
looks, “ be said.
Faxon said ” it was obvious" the four with children
in parochial schools supported parochiad.
"The board is a vehicle to advance tbeir cause,"
he said. "Tbe board has proved to be a real disap
pointment and a letdown. *
SNOWMOBILES ABOUND

State," may be picking up a second title soon—

REVENUES RISE
One result of the ever increasing number of miles
traveledby motorists in Michigan every year is a
rise in tbe amount of gasoline taxes and license
plate fees collected by the state.
During the last fiscal year Michigan's Motor Ve
hicle Highway Fund pulled in a record $374. 2
million from these two sources of revenue. .
’
The gas produced $254. 6 million during fiscal
1969, up 15. 9 per cent from the previous fiscal year.
At the same time the license plate fees totaled
$144. 5 million, a rise of 33. 7 per cent.
After all other revenues and expenses were consid
ered a total of $357.4 million was available for dis
tribution to tbe state, counties, and municipalities.
Tbe Highway Department received $164.4 mil
lion, a rise of 17. 7 per cent. The counties shared
a total $121. 5 million,' an increase of 17.2 per
cent, and cities and village* shared $71.4 million,
up 25. 5 per cent.
. TAX HIKES COMPLEX
To the casual observer it might appear raising
taxes will bring in a fixed amount of revenue and
that each additional penny or percentage of rax
would result .in an equal increase in revenue.
That, however, iln't tbe case.
This truism of government financing has come to
the fore again with the debate over Gov. William
G. Milliken's proposal to raise tbe cigarette tax
5 cents per pack.
If the tax were raised by only 3 cents, his aides
say, it would bring in an additional $11 million for
each penny raise per, year. But, if it is raised by
the 5 cents asked for, the yield will be only $9 mil
lion for each penny rise, or $45 million instead of
the $55 million which would be realized if the $11
million per penny rate were true.
Government officials say there are several reasons
for this.
The first is the fact that as cigarettes grow more
expensive, some people reduce smoking because of
tbe cost. Another factor is that person* living near
the state border will drive across the border into a
state with a lower cigarette tax to buy large quan
tities of cigarettes.
When this happens, the state not only doesn't get
the increase, it loses what it was getting originally.
In Michigan's cate this is 7 cents per pack.
The other factor is one that many citizen* do not
consider: bootlegging.
Eastern states such as New York have long bad
problem* with bootlegging of cigarettes from states
such as North Carolina, which had no cigarette rax
until this year. New York has a 12 cent tax, and
a bootlegger with a car full of tax free cigarettes
can undercut the New York price and still make a
lot of money.
In testimony before the Senate Taxation Commit
tee recently, a New York tobacco dealer said cur
rently more than one million bootlegged packs of
cigarettes are sold in New York state every day.
Morri* Weintraub said this is costing the state of
New York $50 million a year in decreased revenues.
Committee chairman Harry DeMaso of Battle
Creek has scheduled a meeting for this coming
weekend (Nov. 1) with New York officials to dis
the problems of bootlegging and its relationship
to higher taxes.
Weintraub, who is managing director of the
Wholesale Tobacco Distributors of New York, told
DeMaio's committee raising the cigarette tax
would be "opening Pandora's box. "
If the 5 cent raise is enacted, it would put Mich
igan's cigarette tax at double the Indiana tax of
b cents, giving Michigan residents more impetus
to drive to Indiana to buy cigarettes.
If the Michigander* drove to Indiana, they would
purchase other things, such as groceries, there and
deprive the state of come of its sales tax revenue*
as well, opponents argue.
And they say the bootlegging of cigarettes from
Kentucky, where tbe tax is only 2. 5 cents per pack,
would be very much a reality, since interstate high
ways now make it a short drive between Kentucky
and Michigan.
■ Should tne Legislature decide to rake Milliken's
advice and raise tbe tax, however, Michigan won’t
be alone.
At the last count. 18 states have raised their cig
arette raxes this year and more than one-half of
them are now collecting at least 10 cents a pack.
And despite tbe arguments against raising cigarette
taxes, states bordering the low tax states do have
high cigarette taxes.
For instance, Tennessee has a 13 cent a pack levy
despite tbe fact it is bordered by Kentucky and its
2. 5 cent rate and North Carolina and its 2 cent rate.
If all this seems confusing, it is only because it is.
In taxation, as in other fields; every action set* into
action a serie* of reaction* and counteraction*. Tbe
trick in this problem is to select the most effective
tax action.

I do not often feel constrained to answer letters
to the editor. I am always happy to see them.... I
am happy to print them. From time-to-tiroe I have
printed some that have taken me to task. It can
be expected, though, that anyorx
me who says anything will find someone who nisai
agrees with him.

I nave often had people who disagreed
As a matter of fact, I have quite often been s o
disagreeable that I don't even agree with myself.
In the case of the letter from Mr. Gerald Mont
gomery which appears in this paper, I feel I should
deviate somewhat from my normal policy, if for
no other reason that Mr. Montgomery is a respect
ed and trusted friend of long standing ( I could have
said an old friend, but I refuse) and I would do him
the courtesy, at least, of an acknowledgement.
In the first place, the column referred to is my
own personal column... my own personal view
point. It is signed by me. It is not intended to be
anything other than editorial comment.
x
There is no reason to think that the editorial
comments by an editor will be any more unbiased
than a sermon by a minister in a church. Editors,
ministers and ordinary citizens just try to call them
as they see them. There is no need to determine
whether my editorial policy is, biased and slanted.
In this particular case it most certainly is. I must,
also admit to being slanted and biased in favor of'
motherhood, patriotism, religion, love and char
ity. Man is a biased animat
I reprinted the entire text of Dr. Adams' talk be
cause I admire the man, I agree with him and, on
that particular week, we had the time and the
space to give to the talk. Dr. Adams is the one
man I know of who deals with the problem strictly
on the economics of it. War is just not an econom
ical way to deal with people who happen to think
differently than we do.
So far as I know our paper was the only one that
carried Dr. Adams’ speech. Mr. Agnew's talk,
which you believe outlines the belief of the silent
majority, was printed in its entirety in all of the
area papers and was given nationwide coverage in
the media. If there is anyone who has not read
that speech, I am sure printing it in out paper
would not help.

fend to the death your right to say it. Further, I
would encourage you to say it and to use my paper
as a sounding board.
These are indeed bothersome times, troubled
times, times when some of us wonder where we are
going and what are we doing. How far does protest
go before it becomes revolution? How far can a de
mocracy go to keep people from protesting national
policy? How far does the government, the establish
ment go in countering protest without becoming an
oppressive government? Our very early protesters in
America stood up against what they thought to be in
very bad taste. Just where is protest right and wrong?
Where does a good American boy protest when he
is sent out to kill?
.? Is life so different? Is the killing
of a child or a woman so much different than the
killing of a man? How old must a child be before
he can be shot with a clear conscience? How mili
tant must a woman be?
These things bother me because I can remember
another great war and I can remember the stories
that came out of Germany. I can remember that
Hitler also had a silent majority.
I have beard the term peace with honor. To bring
the war to an end on an honorable basis. Honor
means bringing the enemy to his knees. I wonder if
there is any honor in war.
I wonder also if we have the tight to send our boys

Editor & Publishers
Maple Valley News
NashviUe, Michigan
The article which appeared in the Backstreet Bar
ometer section of the November 20, 1969 issue of
the Maple Valley News regarding a letter from the
principal of the Maple Valley schools in my opinion
warrants further consideration.
Any citizen with children in school is entitled to
his personal opinion of the School policies and the
school administrators. However, when that citizen
is also the editor and publisher of the only local pa
Cer and his petsqnal opinions and viewpoints are
roadcast in his publication he has become obliga
ted to also print all sides of controversial subjects.
And I certainly feel that the wearing of black arm
bands and the protest marchen etc., were not only
controversial in their objectives, they were also in
bad taste.
I realize that your vocation is a full time job in
in your spare time. You saw fit to reprint the complete text of Dr. Walter Adam's speech approving
the campus dissenters. I request that you also re
print in its entirety the enclosed copy t>f vice presi
dent Spiro Agnew's recent speech which outlines
many of the beliefs of the silent majority. Your ac
tion regarding this request will help all of us to
determine whether or not your editorial policy is
biased and slanted.

Charlton Park Recreation Bond Committee presented
the planning, and possible action, regarding appli

Park which could be shared by the school districts in

or partly in Barry County, which might be interested.
A master plan involving all of Barry County is being
drawn up concerning the most urgent needs. This
may take several months or even longer. In the early
stages, regarding recreational needs, it appears a
swimming pool is high on the list. While eachschool
or each community might prefer its own pool, the
second best idea would be one at Charlton Park.
There are some state aid funds, based on per cap
ita use of recreational facilities, which might reach
as much as $121, 000. However, the qualifications
of such an aid are very strict. The cost of a pool
might run as much as $400,000 but on top of that
would be the maintenance, along with hiring life
guards, instructors, etc. Estimated costs for oper
ation might run between $60,000 and $80,000 per
veat. The schools/are being asked to give an opin
ion as to whether or not they would be interested in
having the children use the pool, thereby helping
to defray operating costs. While no vote was taken

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1969
Communities make
Christmas plans
Christmas activities in the villages of Nashville
and Vermontville appear to be well worked out
this year, as Santa made plans for his yearly visits
to the two communities.
Santa will be at the Fire Barn in Vermontville
at 2:00 p. m. on Saturday. December 20. He will
be happy to have all of his friends stop and chat
with him and pick up a bag of treats.
Santa made a grand entrance in Nashville Satur
day. December 6, by way of the Nashville fire
truck and was accompanied by members of the Ma
ple Valley Band and other participants in the pa
rade. He re-visited Saturday. December 13th and
will once again be in the village on Saturday, De
cember 20.
Three elves accompanied Santa on the
fire
truck. These were Cindy Murphy, Kelli Knoll and
Beth Anne Beebe. Santa's helpers at the Maple
Valley Jaycee Hall were Alisande Boughton, Gaye
Austin, Linda Furlong and Sandy Foote. Nashville s
Santa was Fred Ackett.
Also taking part in the Nashville parade were
members of the VFW Color Guard and the V F W
Auxiliary. There were ponies and carts from Mr.
Keyes and Mr. Reid. Clowns Cindy Frith and §andy Shilton and Yogi Bear. Lou Ann Frith, also were
in the parade.
Queens were a big part in the parade. These in
cluded the Nashville Centennial Queen, Cathy
Mix and she rode in the Antique touring car be
longing to Russ Furlong. Billy Maker was her driv
er. Other queens attending included Nancy Smith,
Barry County Farm Bureau Queen, with driver Bob
Smith; Patty Barlond, Maple Valley Homecoming
Queen, driver Al Smith; and Karen Wilmore, Ver
montville Maple Syrup Festival Queen with driver
Doug Yargcr. Lonny Kienutske from Larke Buick
supplied automobiles for the Queens.
The Hastings C. B. Club brought their colorful
and interesting float to Nashville and took part in
the parade.
Santa stopped in Central Park where the band
provided a nit of additional music and then he
greeted his friends at the Maple Valley Jaycee Hall
and gave each one a bag of treats.
Special Christmas drawings will be held in Ver
montville on Friday evening, December 19 and
again on Saturday, December 20 to give residents
a hit of additional Christmas shopping money.
These drawings are sponsored by the Vermontville
Chamber of Commerce.
Santa will be visiting members of the Senior
Citizens club at the VFW Hall this week, will be
in Maker's IGA Store to visit with friends on Fri
day evening, December 19 and attended the Jay
cee Auxiliary Christmas Party for needy children
on Monday evening.
Committee will investigate
location for water tower
The report of the Lakeview Cemetery Board was
read at Thursday night's Nashville village council
meeting. The treasury shows a balance of
$2, 624.76.
Superintendent of Public Works, Tim Smith, was
given permission to purchase four new hydrants and
gate valves. The cost will be approximately $1,000.
Frank Scramlin and Ben Kenyon were named by
president Harold Christiansen to investigate location
and ownership of land for a new water tower for the
village.
Recently Ed. Miller, Traffic Engineer of . the
Grand Rapids District, visited Nashville to confer
with village officials concerning the much-discuss
ed *S" curve over the Penn Central railroad crossing
on East Reed Street. He suggested that the street be
widened, when the weather permits, over that por
tion of the road across the tracks, and that double
yellow lines be used across this entire area.
The village officials voted to purchase state-reg
ulated "No u Turn* signs to be installed on Main
Street, which is State Highway 66.
Police Chief Kendal Wilcox made his report to
the council.
Other action of the council, including the paying
of the bills, was
routine.
It’s
NUMBER i
Christmas Time At Qreenfield Village
The potter, the baker, the candlestick maker — plus the pewterer and several other
working craftsmen — will make "The Crafts at Christmas” in Henry Ford Museum a
fascinating exhibit for visitors this season. The potter and pewterer are pictured here
handersftinr candle holders and toy soldiers. Christmas scenes dominate Greenfield
Village too. The starkiy-beaotiful Martha-Mary Chapel and the sparkley-beautiful Chrint
mas tree dominate the VHlaitew^en. Eleven homes and buildings are specially deco
rated this year, and others opened to go in or look In. Sleigh dr carriage rides, depending
on snowfall, take visitors back to the Village gate house after a refreshment stop at his
toric Clinton Inn. Located in Dearborn, Michigan. Greenfield Village and Henry Ford
Museum are a non-profit educational institution.
Prepare baskets for Christmas
The Community Christmas Basket is a commit
tee representing tne various churches, and has been
in existence for a number of years. It functions once
a year at the Christmas season to provide some help
to families that otherwise might not have a very
merry Christmas.
Money has come from donations from individuals
and organizations, with some help from the Com
munity Chest. The students at Maple Valley High
School traditionally have a "Christmas Tree Walk*
the last afternoon of school before the Christmas
vacation, when packages or cans of food are placed
under the Christmas tree. This food is then divided
between Vermontville and Nashville.
A number of names are on the list, but names may
still be turned in to one of the following: Mrs. Ben
Kenyon, Mrs. William Hayter. Mrs. Archie McCon
nell, Mrs. Lawrence Maurer, Mrs. Ben Mason or
Mrs. J. E. Smith. Food — especially fruit or cook
ies, or gifts for all ages may be left at the United
Methodist Parish House any time before 1:00 Tues
day, December 23. Baskets will be packed that af
ternoon, and hopefully delivered that day. Money
Christmas Concert Monday

the direction of Miss Christine Laitner, and the
band, under the direction of Mr. Searfoss, will
present their Christmas concert in the Maple Val
ley Auditorium on Monday evening, December 22.

rection of Mr. Searfoss will give selections from
"Hello Dolly."
may also be given to the committee members or
left at Douses' Drug Store. Checks should be made
payable to the Community Christmas Basket.
Response light for
adult education classes
Due to the small response for the adult educa
tion classes, and the Christmas season approaching,
the adult education program will begin in early JanThere are required numbers of participants for
the ten-week programs in sewing and women's re
creation, but they would also like to fill the class
es in art, typing, shorthand, bridge and creative
writing.
Also to be offered is men's recreation for Monday
nights. This will include volleyball, table tennis,
basketball and an exercise program.
If anyone wishes to participate in any of these
activities he should contact Edward Sampson at the
Jr. Sr. High School by phone or mail.

Two hair cutting and styling contests were held
this past week in tne Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids.
More than 350 western Michigan barbers and their
wives attended.
All of the 35 contestants were men and they work
ed on male models.
In the razor and styling event, third place was won

gan was second. They were given trophies.
The contests, which also included regular hair
cutting, were sponsored by Kenneth Maly of Maly's

Grand Rapids Barber Aoociation and awarded a
plaque for his efforts in promoting the barber trade.
Judges were from Louisiana, Kentucky, Chicago,

The people in the tropics never have snow
for
Christmas and they seem to enjoy the holiday al most as much as we do. Of course most of the peo
pie in the tropics don’t have enough money to buy
happy to have a day when they eat and if they get
a square meal they feel Christmas ha* been a good
day.
I have lost much of my old Christmas spirit. Since
I have gotten old I have given up on the annual
Christma* tree fight which had become a tradition
around our house. In the past I have held out
for
erecting the tree late on Christmas Eve and taking
it down again as early as possible. I have never
been one to bold that trees should be in bouse*.
For the last few year* though I have given up the
fight. Whenever the tree goes up is OK with me and
I couldn't care len if it stay* up right through the
4th of July.
This year's tree is already up. It went up on Sun
day with a minimum of excitement and carrying on.
No one said a word to me; the women of the house
hold just brought the tree in, put it in the holder
without jamming a finger. (I always managed to
jam at least one finger and to have the tree in the
holder in such a way that is immediately tipped o
ver if someone slammed the door.)
Our tree is up, though..... It is all trimmed and
the lights are all on. When the girls do it, the lights
seem to be in fine shape. When I used to do it I
took the first three hours trying to get the lights to
work. I even considered going back to the old can
dle bit.
_
So here we are, going into the season to be jolly
and I have not blown my stack yet. Things have
changed.
For over fifty years now, I have gone through
celebration* dedicated to the Prince of Peace. For
over fifty year* I have beard carols sung about
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men. But in most of
those yean, the- prime concern of people at Christ■ U

It is nice to get Christmas card* from old friend*.
For many of us this is the only time throughout the
year that we are in communication with these peo
ple that we should be in touch with all year.
Each year though, we get at least one card from
someone we don't know. Maybe someone is trying
to drive us nut* trying to find out who "Gus and
June" are, or who the Dagbert* are. How we got
on their card list I'll never know. It is nice to hear
from them though. Kinda keep* u* in touch, even
though we don't remember who they are.
We have been gathering the Santa Letter* from
the mailbox in the park and alto tbote which end
up at the Postoffice in Vermontville, and we have
these to print in our newspaper.
We can see much of the preparation for the Christ
mas season as we observe the local stores and busi
ness places and the street* of our towns so nicely
decorated, but we mis* a lot of pleasure if we do
not make an attempt to visit the school* at this
time of year. It seems that all the various classes
and grades are busy with special Christmas projects,
certainly the grade school classroom* show this
bunt of activity. The hall* at the high school are
beautifully decorated and a visit to these school*
would be well worthwhile right about now.
Examples of artistic talent* are well exhibited in
various business places at this time. The art work
exhibit at the Newt Office represent* approximately
fifteen different people. Pictures, paintings and
drawing* are also exhibited at Johnson Furniture
Store, Nicholas Gift Shop, Higdon's Jewelry Store,
Mr. Ames' Coiffures and other business places. Take
just a moment to go to these places and look at this
work done by local people.

Dear Sir:
There seems to be a mistaken opinion being cir
culated that Communism is the way you dress o r
bow long your hair is.
There is an old saying which is true. " You cannot
tell a book by it* cover. "
•
Communism I* not a look, it is a state of mind.
In the twenties women were called flapper and
the men dandies because they dressed in short skirts,
tight pant*, loud colot*, spangle* and beads, but it
was only a fad which faded away.
Today short skirts, tight pants and long hair are
also fad* which will pas*. On the contrary to the i
dea that this odd dress is Communism could not be
farther from the truth since freedom is being express
ed by dress and hair styles which is not encouraged
in a Communist controlled country.
The word Communism has become the modern
boogy-man used to scare the public into conform
ity of thought. I'm quite sure if the morals and
political opinions of these long hair odd balls were
put up to measure beside that of Mr. John Q. Pub
lic these Cool Cat* will be found to love freedom,
justice and the pursuit of happiness more than any
one who would censor him or her without opening
the cover to his or her book.
Thank you,
John M. Tarrents

�Open House planned
to welcome Bishop
BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY
MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
PAROCHIAID GAINSK?^V
. Qqite a few Michigan residents are excited over
the issue of sure aid to parochial schools.
The touchy issue is one of the most emotionally
charged ever to come before a Legislature.
During the December session the state PT A mar
shalled its forces to the statehouse in an attempt to
disuade wavering lawmakers from voting ror the
most recent parochiaid proposal
The women were highly emotional and in a
moment of frustration, a senator who favored par-ochiaid, after attempting to explain his position to
them, told them to '* go to belt "
Another lawmaker accused the women of "trying
to put pressure on me" and walked away from a
meeting with them. Many lawmakers, on both
sides of the issue, refused to meet with the women
at all for fear of emotional outbursts. _
One thing which seems to have gained little no
tice in Michigan is the advances parochiaid has
made in other states.
In the past two yeais four of the states of the Un
ion have inaugurated some form of state aid to par
ochial schools. The four states are Connecticut,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode'Island.
The Pennsylvania suture was passed in 1968. The
other three states passed the irr in 1969.
Both Ohio and Rhode Island authorized the use of
state aid to supplement teacher salaries in secular
coutses taught in non-public schools. This is the
method backed by Gov. William G. Milliken.
Connecticut and Pennsylvania both authorized the
funds for materials as well as nonsectarian teachers.
Connecticut's legislature appropriated $6 mil
lion for parochial schools, with tne first payments
to be made next Sept. 1.
Rhode Island had the smallest appropriation,
$375, 000 for the first year. Ohio, on the other
hand, appropriated $35 million for the first year.
In Pennsylvania, no specific amount of money
was appropriated. Instead, a special fund financed
by revenues from state harness racing and horse
racing will be used to help the schools.
Pennsylvania's law has been challenged in a suit
filed by six religious, civil rights and educational
organizations joined by three individuals. A suit
is planned against the Connecticut law.
The word’'parochiaid" itself, by the way, is a
product of the battle in Michigan over state aid to
private schools.
You won't find the word in any dictionary and it
is unheard of outside Michigan.
It was created several yeais ago by a group of
newsmen mulling over the situation and frustrated
by the length of the phrase "state aid to parochial
schools," which was a barrier to tight writing.
The newsmen began working on various combin
ations of phrases which could be made into one
word. Suddenly, one of them came up with "par
ochiaid" and Before long the new word had become
an accepted part of the language of the state.
COLLECTION COSTS
,
In case you've been wondering about it, the fed
eral government spends 40 cents of every $100 it
collects financing its tax collection activities.
In comparison to the past, the 40 cents spent last
year is one of the more efficient figures, accord
ing to a report by Commerce Cleanng House in
Chicago.
The all time law was 32 cents per $100 in 1944
in the midst of World War IL The all time record
for cost came back in 1871, Avhen $5. 87 of every
$100, or nearly 6 percent of the total collection,
went for the expenses involved in collecting money.
Total collections weren't so high then.
As recently as 1932 the revenues dropped nearly
$1 billion and the drop was 38 percent of the total
collected in the previous year.
A drop of that size today would be little more
than one-half of one percent, since the government
collected $187. 9 billion in taxes last year.
TITLE STICKS
Nebraska Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann has an
nounced he'll seek re-election next year.
The only Democrat who has announced against
the Republican incumbent is Nebraska Democratic
National Committeeman J. J. Exon.
This has prompted pundits in that state to refer to
what they expect will be a "year long run of The
Governor and J. J. "
INTEREST WIDESPREAD
,
The dramatic educational reform proposals unveil
ed earlier this year by Gov. William G. Milliken
caused quite a stir in Michigan. Reaction to them
will continue through the 1970 elections.
With all the clamoring within the state about the
proposals, most persons nave missed the fact that
quite a few other states are watching to see what
happens here.
This interest in other states, which also are ha v ing their own educational troubles, is exemplified
in the various editorial comments which appear in
papers outside Michigan.
Comments have been both favorable and unfavor
able. Some have been merely expressions of interest
and curiosity in the plan. But they all show Michigan
is being watched closely to see bow she handles the
are hitting many other
stater besides herself.
For example, the Boston Evening Globe said the
Governor's proposals involve ''what most states prob
ably will'be forced to consider in the next decade:
The takeover of public school financing from local
communities. "
It also indicated support for the parochiaid pro
posals, which it said recognize that "an intolerable
burden would be thrust on the communities if paro
chial schools were compelled to close."
The Christian Science Monitor was less enthusias
tic. It said "Michigan’s school money problems are
a little too complicated for its Governor's new school
tax reform plan to handle. "
"What’s more, " it said, "a provision for aid to
private and parochial schools all but drags its worth
ier proposals under. ”
Tne New York Times printed a favorable review
of the plan written by Fred H. Hechinger. Hechin
ger concluded passage of the statewide funding pro
posal would mean "school boards would be able to
spend their energies on improving the schools in
stead of worrying about bow to pay for them.'
He said Milliken's proposal for statewide funding
of public school systems was much the same as one
drawn upfor the first time three years ago by Dr.
James B. Conant, one of the country's leading
school reformers.
"Although the Conant-Milliken approach is dra
matic, " Hechinger wrote, "it is not as complete a
break with realities as it seems. The states are al
ready deep in local school financing, " he said, no ting .already 25 of the 50 states pay more than half
the total cost of education from state funds.
The Minneapolis Star said somewhat sceptically,
"Whether such a major overhaul of the system, with
its implications for school control, can win approv
al is extremely doubtful But the prospect must not
be casually discarded."
And the Christian Science Monitor said that no
matter what happens to Milliken's proposals "a lot
of other states will be watching. "
The Bergan Record of Hackensack, N. J.
was
favorable in its evaluation of the program and said
it agrees the nation is watching Michigan.
"Michigan has been caught in a trap, as New Jer
sey has, and Gov. William G. Milliken proposes
doing something radical about it, " the paper said.
"We hope he prospers. "
t
" The Michigan initiative provides inspiration at
the very least; later it may even provide an exam
ple. " it concluded. "We'd better be paying atten
tion. "
MILLIKEN SPEAKS OUT
Gov. William G. Milliken hasn't always found
himself in agreement with President Nixon or vice
president A.gnew, and one instance of jj^occurring
brought some rather candid remarks frdBnhe Gov
ernor at a recent news conference.
Milliken was asked whether be agreed with Ag new's criticisms of various news media.
"As long as I’ve been here iin this Capitol, I've
recognized the fact__that
_ ..1__
what
I you
...
report, how you
,
rgport it, what you say—more importantly per
haps, what you do not say—can have a vital oear• . ing on legislative outlook, and on the political for
tunes of an individual, " the Governor said.
"Frankly, " he said, "on occasion I have wished
that I could do something to n lanipulate
’ "
the
‘ news to
make it more favorable from rnv point of view. I
know I cannot do that. I know that I should not do
that. I know that if we had that kind of a system, it
would be unfortunate in the extreme.
"1 would much rather, " he concluded, "I think,
have censorship by the press of the government than
I would censorship by the government of the press. "

NUMBER 31
1969
Christmas is an annual Judgment Day. " In so
far as you did this to one of the least of my
brethren, you did it to me". This seems to
sum up the Spirit of Christmas better than any
thing I've found to far. Granted it is a realistic
view which is not too complementary.
Oh, certainly Christmas sentiment has been
held up by the commercials, the songs, the
glad tidings of cards, the ho-ho of Santa Claus
as the spirit of Christmas, but really the spirit
of the thing is deeper.
It is the time of year when we can be kind to
each other, and think of the poor children who
won't have a Santa Claus; when we can finally
show our affections toward someone. It is a
time when we can even have sympathetic
thoughts about prisoners behind bars, while we
are behind other bars. And, above all, we can
be thankful that we are not hungry and naked.
United Fund leaden were honored at a luncheon, on Monday. December 15 in Taming

Fire causes extensive damage
Two receive degrees

Dr. and Mis. R. E. White of 109 North State St.,
Nashville, caused extensive smoke damage in the
upstairs of the large brick home Wednesday. De
cember 17.
Fire. Chief Forrest Babcock stated that they be
lieve that electrical wiring was the cause of the
fire. It was discovered by Mrs. White about 1:00
pm. Although the blaze was confined to one bed
room, the entire upstairs was damaged by the
smoke and the intense beat.
Fire Chief Forrest Babcock and volunteer Robert
Wood both suffered from smoke inhalation and
had to be given oxygen before they could continue
fighting the fire.
Lions win Olivet game
Maple Valley came out victorious in Friday
night's encounter with the Olivet basketball team.
A close score of 80-79 was the result in the non
league game. The game was played at Olivet.
With eight seconos to go, Greg Norton hit a free
throw to tie the game for Olivet but a few seconds
later Mike Tefft of Maple Valley was fouled.
Approximately 1. 490 diplomas were presented
Saturday, December 20 at Western Michigan Uni
versity. Kalamazoo.
Clifford G. Lundstrum, of.Home 3, Nashville,

schools.'
'
Edwin C. Berry, the executive director ot the
Chicago Urban League, addressed the fall gradua
tion class ax the ceremonies held in Read Field
House.
Yes, I think this is all part of Christmas. We
actually do think of these things, perhaps not
as bluntly as the Lord put them when He spoke
of Judgment: "For I was hungry and you gave
me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink;
I. was a stranger and you made me welcome;
naked and you clothed me, sick and you visit
ed me, in prison and you came to see me. "
(Matt. 25/35)
Christmas then is an annual Judgment Day!
Why else the frantic running around until the
last shopping day? Why the Christmas baskets?
Why the fraternal office parties where the
Sint can at least be induced? Why the annual
mily get-together with mom and dad? We
do a lot of good things at Christmas.
The quotation that is never plagiarized or ver
balized isr "We can't act and live this way
all year so why not live it out and up at least
once a year!"
Yes, isn't it wonderful that Christianity gets
lived at least in external ritual at least once
a year!
.
Peace On Earth, Good WiU to Men (at least
once a year)!

Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas from

backstreet baron
For the first time in my life 1 have all of my
Christmas shopping done and the presents all
wrapped before late on Christmas Eve! This is
quite something for one who puts everything off
until the last minute. I can be sure, though, that
I have forgotten something and late on Christinas
Eve afternoon. I'll have to hit the streets for
some last minute shopping. '
It sure looks as if wc will have a nice White
Christmas here in the .Maple Valley area. From*
what the weatherman was saying on Saturday, wc
just could be snowed in! That would make a
beautiful Christmas.
It is a good thing that the happy holidays Christmas and New Years - come in December
because if it were not for them, this would be a
pretty bleak month in Michigan. Ask any photog
rapher and he will tell you that we have darn few
days when the sun comes out during December.
These are gloomy-looking d-/s and were it not for
the coming holidays, 1 could get myself into a
state of depression.
.
The paper this week has lots of Letters to Santa
with plenty of hints as to what the little ones want
most. It also has the traditional Christmas greet
ings from the people of the business community.
Tms is one way the merchants have of showing
their appreciation for your past patronage and
just for being good friends and neighbors.
The other night I hit two deer just west of Pat
Hager's farm, near.Vermontville. Really, I didn't
hit them - they came running full tift right into
the side of my car and it all happened so fast, I
didn't even have time to. see them coming. I just
suddenly saw these two beautiful animals looking
right in my face as they hit the side of the car.
when I made the report to the’Sheriff's officers,
1 found that this is not so uncommon. The Barr,'
County men, who toojt the report for. Eaton County,
told me that they have about 70 reported deer-car
accidents a month. There is nothing wecan do to
train the deer to look both ways before they cross
the road. I guess we will just have to try to train
drivers to be a bit mote careful - particularly at
night.
- Those of os who have already hit a deer know
how fast it can happen and just how important
extra caution is.
Holiday Greetings
This is the time of the year we should take
inventory to see where we have been..
We, at Randall's, want our community to
know bow much we have enjoyed being able
to serve you.
'
In this fast world, a lot of our choices in
life are already made for us. Where we do
.our business and who we choose for friends
are still our choice.
We appreciate your business and hope we
are worthy of being your friends. We will •
be glad for the opportunity to serve you in
the coming years.
We wish each of you a Happy Holiday
Season - and would suggest to you that
Christmas is something to keep, not to
spend.
