Third district U.S. Rep, Garry Brown (R.-Mich.) announced Monday that action is being sought and some accomplishment made in securing further work on the $12.98 million upperMapleRIvef floodcon-; trol nroject, ,. In a letter to the House Agriculture^ Committee, Brown asked for a prompt review of the plan after an agricultural subcommittee had given its approval;

The subcommittee approved the $3,48 million west upper Maple River program which would cover 28,860 acres. In July,.: House and Senate committees approved a plan^bn the east upper Maple River for more than 169,000 acres.

In an appearance before the committee earlier Brown first asked for swift con­sideration of what I consider to be compel­ling evidence that the West Upper Maple project Is in fact economically sound and does fall within the subcommittee's cost-

per-acre guideline," Brown told the com­mittee. ,

i. Brown said that he had not received "a single letter opposing this project and if I may interject—today this is unusual,'

r

. He said that many constituents "havere-' cently writtenexpressingalarmthatwithout funding of the wesLupper Maple project, a bigger, needed and worthwhile local effort may be rendered ineffectual.''

, The plan calls for two pumps to be placed •In the west Maple River area to handle run­off on 2,500 acres in the east Maple River section.

. Brown has been demanding action on both the east and west projects as a com­bined effort, He insisted, both In the letter and ih his testimony, that they are sup­plemental programs and cannnot operate properly If funded and acted upon separ­ately.

Close-up interview:

Ballenger: young man headi ng fo r success

By PAT DROUIN News Special Writer

Sen. William S. Ballenger is a man who doesn't believe in wasting time..

At the age of 29, the newly elected Republican state senator has had a short career as a newspaper reporter, free­lance writer and assistant director of public relations for the Republican State Central Committee, while at the same time moonlighting as the Shiawassee County

Grand Va l ley s tudent he ld on

mar i juana charges A Grand Valley State College student

found that it Is not wise to drive In Clinton County carrying liquor and marijuana.

Thomas L. Harley, 18, 306 E. Scott Rd.r Grand Ledge, was apprehended last week by the sheriff's department as a minor in possession of intoxicating liquor, one count of possession of marijuana and one count of use of marijuana.

In district court he pleaded guilty to the minor in possession charge and was remanded to the county Jail for failure to post bond until his sentencing hearing, Marchd24.

On the marijuana charges, he demanded examination in circuit court. He was remanded to jail for failure to post $2,500 bond. Trial has also been set for March 24.

Republican Party chairman. In 1968, while director of research for

the State Central Committee, Ballenger decided to run for the vacated 87th House District Representative seat.

A bitterly fought primary race followed with seven opponents vying for the position. Ballenger emerged as the victor, and later won In the general election.

The move to the Senate came after three months of personal debate, when Sen. Emil Lockwood informed Ballenger he would be vacating his Senate seat to run for the office of secretary of state.

REALIZING THE gamble he was taking, Ballenger announced his candidacy April

21. After what he termed a relatively "easy go," the Republican from Ovid was sworn In as State Senator of the 30th Senatorial District in January.

During a recent interview, a portion of which took place on the Senate floor, Bal­lenger reflected on the basic differences between being a senator and a representa­tive.

Keeping an intent eye on the Senate proceedings while at the same time answer­ing questions, Ballenger noted that the Senate had a much more intimate, clubby atmosphere, - with only one-third of the members of the House.

Nothing is more serious than what some folks consider ajoke.

Main Street in St. Johns will again be the site of the Clinton County Soap Box Derby May 23.

The annual event which will have 70 boys entered and is one of the largest of its type in the state was approved by the St. Johns City Council Monday night.

A question of parking meters for both sides of the street around the County Court­house was discussed. The council will dis­cuss it further after some study has been done.

The council also discussed the possibility of making the parking lot on Spring St.

behind the Shell gas station a limited parking lot. This will also be discussed at a later meeting.

A communication was read from Grey­hound Bus Lines concerning the possibility of having a permanent bus station in St. Johns. The criteria for a bus station was outlined. The board decided to contact the Steel Hotel as a possibility. They will also contact the Chamber of Commerce and service clubs for suggestions.

Crystal Falls in the upper peninsula will exchange Mayors with St. Johns May 18.

A letter was read fromConsumers Power Co. asking them to extend their present contract with them for two years. A rep­resentative from the company explained that St. Johns was under a contract that allowed them lower rates than most municipalities.

The company wants all cities in the state that are under this type of contract to have the same anniversary date on their con­tracts. Then they can increase rates at the same time. The letter was tabled until the March 22 meeting.

KURT'S APPLIANCE CENTER 2 1 7 N . Cl inton A v e . ST. JOHNS Ph. 2 2 4 - 3 8 9 5

By Mrs Neva Keys

There was " standing room only" at the recent community affair In the Elsie Junior High building, when the Parent-Teach­ers Association presented a tal­ent program with Mr, and Mrs. Don Byrd as general chairman and Rev. Hashley, master of ceremonies.

Among the young people par­ticipating were the kindergarten and the transition class of Mrs. Leota Kidas singing "Cannibal King"; baton-twirling exhibition by Krystal Gilbert, DarleneHar-daker, Barbara Williams, Kathy Foreit under the direction of Linda Sturgis; art display made by Mark Latz; Linda Craven and Dawn Morgan, moppet puppets; Laurie Mead and ShelleyBracey, tap dance and Kella Carter and Sherrl Winkler a skit; and solo numbers by Karen Green, Janella Price, Harold Dunham, Caroline Oberlin, Randy Cook and Karen Tweedie who were accompanied by Margaret Cook.

The sixth grade band composed of Doug Sturgis, Krystal Gilbert, Jon Coon, Arlene Hutchinson, David Cook, and Mark Latz also played.

A jazz dance under the direc­tion of Miss Sturgis, included Debbie Jones, Tracy Bradlsh, Terry Furstenau, KimberlyWat-ers, Kella Carter, KellyBradish, Pam Williams andLaurelStroud.

There was also a skit by Nancy Latz, Tracy Bradlsh, Annette Zuckschurerdt, and Debbie Pum-ford.

Among the adults on the pro­gram were the Clard Bar Five composed of teachers Mrs. Jean Temple, Mrs, Kathy Heinrichs, Mrs. Arthella Pattison, Janet Peterson and Mrs.SandyGnagey. Archie Moore played his Hawai­ian steel gultar;DonByrd, asom-edy art,

-pinAnttf Savispdocal'celebrityiwhoi r'has'aTecord released by*Ranger-

Records was backed by her pro­fessional band called theCountry Rough Riders.

The goal of such numerous undertakings, the senator pointed out, "is to bring government home with personalized repre­sentation."

Main ta in ing communica­tion with the district the senator believes is essential. - The area in his district in­cludes all of Clinton, Gratiot and Shiawassee counties and parts of Montcalm, Ingham and Eaton counties.

He noted that too often be­coming a senator "goes to a man's head" and the people he represents become forgotten.

He stressed that a senator must be open minded in dealing with matters outside his district, but If the decision came down to the good of the state or his dis­trict, "I would vote for the dis­trict," Ballenger said.

TUCKED BEHIND a row of filing cabinets and surrounded by pictures and mementos, the Senator occupies an over sized desk, dedicating some 60-to-dO hours a week to his job.

The House, with 110 members, however, has a much more ex­citing atmosphere, "almost 200-llke," the Senator remarked.

Being a Senator also means having three times the space, three times the number of people working for him and "three times the mail," Ballenger stressed.

Within the confines of his of­fice, a big ornate room in the south wing of the Capitol shared by his three staff members, the Sena to r continued to answer questions concerning his goals, duties, and responsibilities.

An articulate, dynamic man, the senator classifies himself as a "middle-of-the-road mod­erate.*

FACING THE biggest challenge of trying to stay close to his constituents, the Senator shares an office in St, Johns and Green­ville, has a radio program in five cities, writes a weekly col­umn and has recently compiled a comprehensive questionalre to be sent to some 36,000 homes.

When asked if the increase in legislative salaries to $17,000 was ju s t i f i ed , Ballenger re­marked that a high salary was necessary "In order to attract more young, dedicated full-time legislators."

However, the Senator refused ihisr raise because he thought the State was in a "financial 'bind" > and such a raise came at a poor time.

Since his refusal, six other colleagues have followed suit.

Behind a small pair of wire frame, oval shaped glasses, the lawmaker continued to outline his goals as Senator, occasionally being drowned out by the sound of typewriters.

In the form of legislation, Bal­lenger hopes to see the educa­tion reform passed, shifting from the property tax to the state In­come tax, which the Senator believes is necessary before tax reform can be tackled,

"WHEN HALF of the State's money is used for education,* Ballenger said, "when you speak of tax reform, you're speaking of education reform."

Ballenger also hopes to getthe Agriculture Land Bill passed, which he recently introduced. The bill provides for the assess­ment of farm land on the basis of its agricultural use rather than any uncertain potential market value.

However, Ballenger believes that the farmer has not been forgotten in legislation. "In fact, the farmer has had a great deal of attention on the basis of per­centage of people he actually represents.

"Many of the problems In agri­culture go beyond the power of the s t a t e . Such b i l l s are ex­tremely minor and won't solve the p r o b l e m s overnight," the Senator said.

Coupled with his duties as Senator, Ballenger was recently appointed a member of the Com­mittees on Education, Taxation and Veterans Affairsandalsowas appointed chairman of the Agri­culture and Consumers Affairs Committee.

ALTHOUGH the Agriculture and Consumers Affairs Com­mittee ranks near the bottom of the 14 s t and ing Senate com­mittees the legislator thinks that it could become far mpre pres­tigious and important.

Only in the last year, the S e n a t o r remarked, was con­sumers Affairs added to the com­mittee's duties, with the "poten­tial there" to become a more Important committee.

The Senator was also selected by his colleagues in the Senate Republican Caucus to be chair­man of the five-man Senate Re­publican Campaign Committee.

He is also a member of the Senate GOP Press Committee and one of two Senators who serve as ex-officio members of the Republican State Central Committee.

With such drive and youth the question of political ambitions remains open, however.

"Looking at the situation rea­listically, I don't really have any plans.

If I were to pursue a career, I would probably have to go to some type of state wide office," Ballenger said.

BUT THE Senator indicates be­cause he is young he has a lot to learn and is looking forward to a fairly lengthy stay In the Senate.

•What I primarily want to do is to Implement my ideas and direct my opportunities to in­fluence the flow of legislation and to strengthen my hand to pass legislation and improve­ments for the state," Ballenger said.

The statement best sums up the 29-year-old Senator and the challenge he faces during the next four years.

Students don't really disappear when they graduate from high school; they just move a little farther up life's path. For some, that path leads to Michigan State University.

David E. Alger, 1080 Dill Rd., DeWitt, is a freshman at MSU studying pre-law.

Andre Lewis, 304 E. State, St. Johns, is a junior in James Madison College, a residential college within MSU. As a part of her program, she will spend spring term workingfor the Dem­ocratic State Central Committee in Lansing,

"I will probably start gravitat­ing toward political science,8 she said. Her background consists of political t h e o r y and science courses.

in resource development. "I'm getting a general education sim­ilar to a liberal ar ts education that will enable me to work for just about any firm," he said,

H6 plans to continue at MSU and earn a master 's degree in parks and recreation.

Judy Benjamin, R 1, Fowler, is a sophomore majoring in music. Piano is her special field and she plans on teaching.

Cindy Husdon is a junior in human medicine studying to be a medical technician. She lives at 207 N. Mead St., St. Johns.

Nancy Bengel, 10500 Center-line Rd., Fowler, Is a freshman and loves art. When she chose it as a major, she had little idea of what it would be like at MSU.

rtI expected the classes to be directional, where they give you an assignment and tell you how to do it. Instead, there 's no direc­tion.

"They, give you an idea and you

expand on it however you want," she said. Nancy likes that free­dom because it lets her be creative, imaginative and her­self.

John Lerg, 2343 Round Lake Rd., DeWitt, has just finished a statistical report on what type of

people live at Houghton Lake in the winter and what they do. En­titled "A Winter Use Study of Houghton Lake", it will be used in a book to be published by MSU.

John is a senior majoring in agriculture and n a t u r a l r e ­sources.

ryn Sharick start to count out supplies that will be needed in each room before the heated portion of the meals arrives from Central School.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m., Mrs. Mary Jean Kerr and Mrs, Ger­trude Bast deliver the meals to Swegles and stay to help out with the supervision required during the lunch hour.

The children eat in their own classrooms and three of the six classes are served at one time. The other three groups go to the play ground until the first group Is finished.

Until Feb. 1 all elementary children went home for lunch except those who lived too far from school.

The children have the option of purchasing a hot lunch for 40 cents which includes milk or may bring a sack lunch from home, however, most purchase their

lunch. "The first few days were rath­

er hard" says aide Mrs. Sharick "but now everyone knows their job and everything runs smooth­ly."

"The children seem to like the meals very much" says Mrs. Serrell . "Hot dogs and hamburg­ers seem to be the favorites."

Mrs. Ethel Huot, school prin­cipal commented that there seem to be no problems with the pro­gram and that it is a big con­venience to the parents to have the children stay at school for lunch.

How do the children feel about it?

Jean Barrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Barrett, sure does like her lunch every day and Kathy Goff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Goff, thinks the chicken is the best.

Kim Salters, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Larry Salters, has no favorite among the lunches of­fered, "It 's all good" says Kim.

Scott Chalmers, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Chalmers, thinks he likes the hamburgers the best and the steak the least.

Chinyol Case, son of Mr, and Mrs, Junior Nellson Case, who holds the class record for being the first one done everyday, thinks the hamburgers are good but doesn't think he cares much for the spaghetti.

Shawn McCullough, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray McCullough, is glad he doesn't have to walk home everyday and is happy that he can now eat at school. His fav­orite is hamburger but he likes the rest also, he said.

John Livingston, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Livingston, likes everything but the peas, carrots and green beans,

Scott Bancroft, son of Mr. and

Mrs, James Bancroft, doesn't care to participate in the hot lunch program. "I would rather carry my lunch," Scott said.

Brenda Cooper and Jason Bar-gar couldn't find anything to say except "It's all good."

Last year twins Fawn andDawn Zimmerman, daughters of Mrs. Barbara Zimmerman, carried a sack lunch but this year—"this Is better".

Carman Young eats the hot lunch sometimes but today had brought her lunch from home.

Shelley Rochon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Rochon, thinks she is most fond of the tator-tots.

Troy Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wilson, had the most comment to make. "I've eaten here everyday and it Is a hard choice on what I like best. I guess there isn't anything that I don't like."

Take that low price. Ventura n is a small car, so it has a low, small-car price. But it's what you get for that small price that makes Ventura n worth a close look. Venturas Is fun to drive. It should be, it's from the Wide-Track people. Which means you get a smooth, comfortable, Wide-Track ride.

Venturanis stingy with your gas money. Both the standard six-cylinder engine and the V-8 you can order run beautifully on reg­ular gas or the new low-lead and no-lead fuels. The carburetor on the six is an economical one-barrel, and the transmission for both six and V-8 is a practical 3-speed manual. Venturas is quick to service, if you're a do-if-yourselfer, you'll like fiddling around with the new Ventura n.

New twist-lock lamp sockets (el you make changes in seconds.

The engine is uncomplicated, and there Is plenty of engine-compartment space, especial­ly with the six.

If you ever need to have somebody else work on your car—well, you'll like Venturan, too. Both the standard six and available V-8 are tough, time-tesfed designs, Same goes for

transmissions. The standard 3-speed manual and the available

2-speed automatic, Turbo Hydra-matic or floor-mounted 3-speed are all rugged, dependable units. Venturas is built to last. There's nothing light­weight about this car. It's welded-not bolted— at hundreds of strategic points lo help keep it tight and quiet.

The body is heavy-gauge steel. And it has double paneling in the deck lid, hood and doors. You could probably sum it up best with three little words. Body by Fisher.

So, come on. If you're a small-car lover, stop by your Pontiac dealer's today. Tell him you want to see the new* Venturan. It's the small car that gives you more of What you want a

j small car for.

COUtS 5 9 t h b i r t h d a y Lancaster defines mounting St. Johns public school crisis ebration underway

By ANNETTE WHITE News Society Editor

Girl Scouts will have a full week of celebration of their 59th birthday, March 12,

Prom Girl Scout Sunday, March 7, to out-of-doors day, March 13, they will mark special days f o r homemaking, citizenship, health and safety, international friendship and the arts . These are the areas involved in the year-'round program of G i r l Scouts.

Michigan Capitol Girl Scouts, numbering 10,295 girls and adults in Clinton , Eaton and Ingham counties, are part of a nation­wide organization of 3,900,000 Girl Scouts of the United States who are, in turn, members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl S c o u t s from 88 coun­tr ies .

Brownie, Junior, Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts engage in an

'informal program of educational and recreational activities de­signed to help them develop into happy, useful, resourceful and creative citizens of their homes, schools, c h u r c h e s and com­munities.

MANY TROOPS are now en­gaged in one or more parts of "Action 70", a program to: help them to overcome prejudices by gaining understanding through person-to-person contacts; give service by helping the handi­capped, aged, infirm or lonely; better their immediate environ­ment and take part in activities to help prevent further pollution and abuse of resources.

Local troops are busy with many kinds of celebration of the birthday of the G i r l Scouts, founded by Juliette Gordon Low on March 12, 1912, with 12 girls.

Troop 398, under the direction of leaders Mrs. Norma Cantwell and Mrs. Carol Welch, have com­pleted projects in handicraft. They visit patients at the Rivard Nursing Home and Clinton Me­morial Hospital and at Christ­mas time they fixed baskets of fruit for the patients. Much of their time is spent understanding the Brownie Handbook and the importance, of being a member of the Girl Scout organization.

The troop has 18 girls in its membership and hold their meet­ings at the Nazarene Church each Friday,

Troop 416 has a membership of nine girls and meet each Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Benjamin Mills.

THEIR TROOP has been learn­ing how the flag should be dis­played on all occasions and have been p r e p a r i n g outlines on several presidents of the United States. They are also learning how to make water safe for drinking, what to do on an out­ing and are putting together their own first aid kit.

Brownie Troop 306 of Swegles School meet each Monday at the St. Johns Lutheran Church. Their leaders are Mrs. Ann Willett and Mrs. Elaine Bushamp and their membership number 10.

The girls r e c e n t l y spent several weeks learning the basic fundamentals of embroidery and are now engaged in the planning of a program commemorating Girl Scout Week, to which their parents will be invited. The girls met at the leader's home r e ­cently to make cookies to be served following the program.

Brownie Troop 319 from Cen­tral School choose to aid the mentally and physically handi-caped for their "Action 70" proj­ects. In k e e p i n g with their pledge, they have adopted a re ­tarded girl from the Coldwater State Home and Training School. They remember their "adopted s is ter" throughout the year and

send special gifts they have made. Troop 44, under the direction

of Mrs. Yvonne DePaepe, Mrs, Sally Gavenda and Mrs. Lynn Miller, meet after school each M o n d a y at the St. J o h n ' s Episcopal Church.

They chose to make a three year commitment to "Action 70" and so far this year have been busy with such projects as the cleaning of the East Ward School play ground and making center­pieces and donating yarn to Beek-man C e n t e r for R e t a r d e d Children.

BROWNIE TROOP 556 of Eureka School have as their lead­e r s , Mrs. Charles Rasdale and Mrs . Gilbert Baker. Their senior aide is Rose Baker. They have been engaged in learning the cor­rec t way of setting a table, how to sew, appreciation for Mother Nature and have made posters for Girl Scout Week.

They have a membership of 16 girls and are sponsored by the Eureka Child Study Group.

The girls in Troop 522 are busy w o r k i n g on dance and needlecraft badges. Some of their activities include making table favors for the Sara Louise Circle of the United First Methodist Church and helping out at the church bazaar by baby sitting while mothers with small chil­dren attended the bazaar.

They also h e l p e d serve at Lunch with Santa and helped out at the story hour at the Bement Public Library. They recently hosted a gathering for Troop 44 and taught them dances and songs followed by the serving of r e ­freshments.

Mrs. Tom White and Mrs. Les LeBar head up Troop 577 with a membership of 20 girls.

In their "Action 70* commit­ment they work with the aged, mentally retarded and physically handicapped. They send gifts to the State Home in Coldwater and recently v i s i t e d the Jackson Nursing Home inSt. Johns, enter­taining the patients. They have three goals at their weekly meet­ing—be a ready helper, be a friend maker and be a discover­e r .

The Eureka Girl Scout Troop 552, which also includes girls from East Essex School, have been learning the girl scout laws, as they are a newly formed troop.

They have picked the ladies at the Marion Nursing Home in Eureka as their special friends and visit them often with gifts they have made.

THEY ARE WORKING on vari­ous badges and will be participat­ing in Girl Scout Week by at­tending church in a body.

Their leaders are Sarah Zam-maron and Joan Jorae.

The girls of Troop 363 have as their l e a d e r s Mrs. William Andrews, Mrs. Dale Wineland, Mrs . EdwardSwancharaand Mrs. Steven Swanchara.

They r e c e n t l y visited the patients at Rivard Nursing Home and tookaValentinetreatandalso visited the Capitol in Lansing.

Some of their projects have been to make a coal garden and to learn the art of stitchery. They are planning a camping trip in tlie spring.

The members of Junior Troop 22 attend Central School and Rodney B. Wilson Junior High School and meet at the First Congregational C h u r c h each week. Their leaders are Mrs. Beverly Hinton and Mrs. Jody Wager.

Their activitees for Girl Scout Week included taking part in the Sunday service at the United Methodist Church on March 7 by assisting as acolytes and being grecters . They also presented a flag ceremony.

U.S. 27 at DILL ROAD DeWITT Phone 669-3107 "WHERE SERVICE IS A HABIT"

St. Johns School Supt. Earl Lancaster explained the current and future economic status of the school system in a letter to all staff members last week.

He explained aIn our district there are two main sources of revenue: that r e ­ceived from property tax in the form of monies which need to be voted by the patrons of the district, and that received from the state in the form of S'tate Aid."

Lancaster explained the three problems facing the school system, first of all "The Supreme Court decision on free textbooks and supplies, which we estimated would cost us $50,000 more than we had budgeted/

The second problem, he wrote, was "The results of the Parochiaid vote in November which in our case resulted in the transfer of the St. Joseph seventh and eight graders from half to full-time membership in the Junior High. This will result in an addi­tional $15,000 cost which was not antici­pated."

The third problem he wrote was "The Governor's cut of three-fourths of one per cent of our "total revenue which re ­sults in a loss of $21,728, All of these

unanticipated events, plus some other un­expected expenses will leave us with an approximate deficit of $100,000 as of June 30, 1971.

According to the letter, an intensive study was done by the school board to , d e t e r m i n e where expenses c o u l d be eliminated and it was found that they could only save $14,500.

After a lengthy discussion of the pros and cons of curtailment of certain pro­grams, they, decided against it because of the effect that action would have on the program for the remainder of the year.

The letter proceeds to present some alternatives, "We have decided on the following measures as a method to attempt to reduce spending.

The first is that we have eliminated for this year only, we hope, the Elementary Achievement testing we have pursued for many years. The second one is that we have cancelled all field trips and con­ferences which are not at this time com­mitted.

"Those which are committed are those such as Ag trips which are an essential to that program, the Music contests, and Spring athletic contests which have been contracted for a year or more.*

LANCASTER OUTLINED the fiscal prob­lems for next year, "A year ago the Gov-vernor was on an 'Educational Reform' kick which included fiscal or tax reform.

His plan at that time was to shift the major responsibility for finanical opera­tion of the schools from the property tax to an increased State Income Tax.- We, who are responsible for the operation of schools in Michigan, hailed this as a step forward and an absolute necessity,* he said.

•As we all know, the days of raising money by .raising property taxes by voting are just about over. In most cases the voters are resisting any increase of mil-lage."

Their money making project of selling calendars helps them to cover the cost of their camp­ing trips.

Their "Action 70" project is to aid the handicapped.

Cadette Troop 429, under the leadership of Mrs. Doyle Ban­croft, meet at the St. Johns Episcopal Church each week.

They recently held their r e -dedication and bridging ceremony with several of the members re ­

ceiving b a d g e s and challenge pins.

Mrs. Donald Pease, senior ad-v i s o r , capped the graduating Cadette Scouts and had the honor of presenting her daughter, Karen with the highest award received by a Cadette, the first class patch and pin.

As part of a determined drive to clean up Michigan's growing litter problem State Sen. William S. Ballenger (R-Ovld) Tuesday introduced a bill to discourage use of non-returnable beverage containers for b e e r and soft drinks,

"A rapidly growing problem and one of the worst sources of pollution we have in Michigan today is caused by theuseofnon-returnable bottles and cans that so many persons senselessly d is ­card," said Sen. Ballenger,

"Bottles especially create se r ­ious health hazards when they are broken and strewn along high­ways, streets and beaches," he said.

"Our department ofStateHigh-ways estimates it costs 37 cents

to pick up each piece of litter tossed on the roadways," Ballen­ger stated,

"Testimony before the legisla­ture last year showed that Detroit alone now spends approximately $4,000 a day to dispose of 800 tons of waste glass picked up in that city."

"This measure basically rep­resents the sentiments of Gov. Milliken as he expressed them In his recent special message to the legislature on the environment," Ballenger said,

"The bill requires that there be a minimum deposit of 10 cents on most beverage con­tainers sold at retail outlets in Michigan. Anybody who violates the statute will be guilty of a misdemeanor," lie said.

The bill also embodies one of the main conclusions of the r e ­cently released report of the special h o u s e committee of throw-away beverage containers —a committee on which Sen. Bal­lenger was one of five members.

The bill defines beverage as any soft drink, natural or min­eral water, soda water, or other non-alcoholic carbonated bever­age and any beer, ale or other malt beverage containing one-half of one per cent or more of alcohol by volume which is not consumed on the seller 's prem­ises .

"Disposal of waste products certainly is one of the most serious problems we face In America today," said Ballenger. "II is estimated that Americans

discard more than a million tons of waste a day and disposal of this waste costs an estimated four billion dollars a year."

"Bottles are not necessarily the cause of this problems, but they are a formidable part of the overall picture and we must do what we can to eliminate what we can before the problem licks us," he added.

Ballenger said, "It appears that unless we resort to the legisla­ture to eliminate throw-away beverage containers the problem will continue to mount."

"I sincerely hope that the leg­islature will adopt these means this year, we cannot wait much longer," he said.

According to Lancaster, Mil-liken's proposed budget indicated that there would be an increase of $63 per child In additional State Aid. However, according to actual figures the total increase will only amount to $4.35 per student for next year.

The reason being that over nine-tenths of the $63 increase is to be raised locally by in­creasing the voted mill age in each district, money from the government to cover federal pro­grams and money to cover stu­dents from parochial schools.

Lancaster states "As you can easily see the burden is thrown right back to the local taxpayer for the majority of the increase, and he doesn't show much interest in picking up the tab.*

According to Lancaster's fig­ures the school system will need an additional $335,000 next year to maintain the same level of programs they have this year.

"If this year's deficit of $100,-000 is included, which it must be, we will need an additional $435,-000 to balance out by June 30, 1972," he said.

Dear friends,

"Now, if we subtract the 17,835 increase in State Aid, it leaves $417,165 toberaisedfrom other sources and there is only one other source and that is the local property taxpayer,"

"In our case this would amount to an increase of over 8 mills in addition to the 14.5 we will seek to renew."

Lancaster outlined the prob­lems of the taxpayer, "For those o f you who have reached maturity since 1945 or thereabouts, this economic situation is a brand new e x p e r i e n c e . Jobs have been plentiful, the economy has been expanding, etc.M

"He continued, however, at this point in time, conditions have changed. Teaching candidates are plentiful, skilled craftsman and engineers are out of work, lay­offs are the order of the day, and inflation continues. Because of these and other conditions John Q. Taxpayer has become exceed­ingly sullen, and refuses to com­mit himself further."

"So-what is our course of action?" Lancaster asked, "Inthe first place, I believe our total thrust should be directed toward the legislature. The emphasis on the property tax should be de­creased and replaced with the more equitable income tax."

He continued, "Legislators are political beings and generally will bend to the will of the constitu­ents. The Michigan Association of School Administrators has start­ed a petition drive to force tax reform. In the next few weeks we will attempt to get 300,000 signatures."

"Whether or not this drive is successful," Lancaster states, "it is extremely doubtful that we will be able to obtain the revenue we will need for next year to operate the program as we now do."

"Therefore," he states, "ltbe-hooves us to work together to salvage the best possible pro­gram we can with the funds we have available. This cannot be achieved by the School Board or the Administration alone. For years now we have been pur­suing a course of better educa­tion."

"It looks very much now as though for next year at least we will be struggling for survival. To do this will require the co­operation and understanding of all of us."

WHO'S BETTER. . .Midland Bullock Creek (the district B champ) Ovid-Elsie or St. Louis? In regular season play St, Louis downed Bullock Creek twice, Bul­lock Creek won over Ovid-Elsie twice and Ovid-Elsie dropped St. Louis twice.

During the B tournament in Alma O-E beat St. Louis a third time and in the finals lost to Bullock Creek a third time. Which makes us muse about the pos­sibility of what would have hap­pened if Bullock Creek had played St. Louis In the tourney.

Anyway, we watched all three teams play and we think any one of those games could have gone either way. . .even the champion­ship game. O-E hit two unbe­lievably horrible cold spells in that final meeting with Midland.

During the first four minutes of the second and third quarter against Midland they played under Tatwhacker's Law. Tatwhacker's Law is "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" and during those fatal eight minutes O-E scored only 3 points.

THE STORM didn't bother us a bit. We didn't have to touch a shovel all weekend. Our neigh­bor has one of those little snow throwers. He must have just got it because he not only did his drive, and ours but almost every­one's drive, the sidewalk and part of the street.

Everyone was grateful. We were too, but we saw the method to his madness. He was getting even with the forty thousand mean little kids who inhabit our block.

Very carefully he hosed with blowing snow every kid who ven­tured into range.

Group met at the home of Mrs. Lillian Morley on March 3 for a potluck dinner and a afternoon lesson.

Twelve members and one guest were present includingMrs. Ruby Young and Mrs. Mae Hall who has been unable to be present for some time. The ladies were very happy to have them back. Mrs. Hall had as her guest her daugh­ter, Geralding Davies of Falls Church, Virginia.

The usual business was trans­acted and leaders, Mrs. Florence Peabody and Mrs. Mae Goodrich selected the next lesson for March 18.

The lesson on "Today's Way With Laundry" was continued by Mrs. Eleanor Thornton. Among the many valuable suggestions given were to be a package read­er, know contents of the soap powder used and not be a "dump­er".

Use chlorine only after the other enzymes have had a chance to work In the first cycles and be sure of water temperatures rec­ommended on package.

Various types of bleaches, pre-soakers and water softners were shown and discussed. Sorting of clothes, not by color, but by the finish was stressed.

Since there was no council meeting to report, a talk con­cerning the National Voluntary Meeting for Education and Cru­sade of CancerSociety was given. Musical star, Marguerite Piazza who has beencuredoffacecancer was featured in a special pro­gram.

Win district crown &>*••

er, Potterville clash Friday By TIM YOUNKMAN

Editor

After capping the lid on victory number three in the District tournament Friday night against' Owosso St. Paul, Fowler Coach C h a r l e s Trierweiler almost \ smiled at the prospect of playing ' Potterville in the Regionals.

T r i e r w e i l e r , notknownfor emotionalism but hard work and determination, lightened consid­erably when discussing the Fowler - Potterville match-up Friday at Mt. Pleasant.

"We've beaten P o t t e r v i l l e twice this season, but we must use caution," Trierweiler said.

"They have an improved club, and have three or four good kids," he added.

The Eagles crushed the Vikings twice during the regular season by 66-42 on Jan. 5 and 69-49 on Jan. 22.

DURING BOTH contests, Trierweiler was able to empty his bench early to give most of the Fowler players some game experience. The experience depth

is the main reason the Eagles have advanced into the Regionals with a fantastic 19-1 record.

"This whole team works to­gether," Trierweiler said, de­clining to name one or two of the top players. "It isn't a super-team,'' he added, "but we win."

Trierweiler couldn't ignore the exceptional play combination of Neil Thelen, Jerome Pohl and John Mathews. That group was instrumental in demolishing the efforts -.pf Owosso St, Paul In the district championship game, 76-52.

Ma thews , who collected 21 points to take game scoring hon­ors, was a sleeper on the team*

"He is very capable of scor­ing 21 points every game," Trier­

weiler said. "The only thing that has kept him from scoring is he

didn't take shots." The Eagles had seven players

in the scoring column besides Mathews including Neil Thelen with 15 points and Jerome Pohl with 14 points.

O t h e r s scoring for Fowler were Clare Thelen (7), Ed Pung (4), Gary Pung (9), Dave Rossow (4) and Alan Harr (2).

The Eagles hit on28fieldgoals and went 20 for 30 at the charity line while the Blue Wave hit on only 20 field shots and 12 of 26 at the line.

THE FIRST TWO minutes of the championship match found both clubs sputtering on offense

as St. Paul called time out with 6:01 remaining in the quarter.

Owosso's ball handling was so ineffective that it left Coach Bob Thompson shaking his head as he watched from the bench.

With 2:53 left in the first quarter, the Eagles went Into their tough full-court press.

Fowler led at the first break, 19-14.

Both teams were slow in scor­ing during the first four minutes of the second quarter but Fowler pulled away in the last two min­utes to take a 37-29 halftime lead.

With thePohl-Mathews-Thelen combination burning the nets in the third marker, Fowler ex­tended the lead to 54-40 by the start of the fourth quarter.

That's when Owosso fell apart, losing their two top players, Al Root and Larry Kersjes, via the foul route.

Had It been a close match, Fowler might have been In trouble with about four minutes remain­ing In the game as Pohl drew a technical foul and was forced to sit on the bench for the final minutes.

But Fowler's bench strength prevailed as the Eagles continued to open up the lead to win hand­ily by 24 points.

Trierweiler plans to use about the same game plan against Pot­terville.

•We do not need much more training now," he said* "I'll just keep the boys relaxed until Fri­day."

If they get past Potterville Friday, the Eagles will undoubt­edly meet a rugged Saginaw St. Joseph squad in the Regional championships Saturday night.

Like Saturday night's weather, the Ovid-Elsie Marauders were icy cold as Midland Bullock Creek captured the District B Cham­pionship, 74-64, at Alma. It was the third time this season the Marauders bowed to Midland.

ps third big win The Marauders could manage

only two points in the first lour minutes of the second and third quarters,, while, the Lancers built a thirteen point lead.

The Marauders had reached the finals by defeating St. Louis 72-

71 and Ithaca 74-66, The third meeting of the two

teams was close only in the first quarter which saw O-E jump off to an early lead. The score was tied and changed hands several times during the quarter

Both teams rebounded well de­fensively limitingtheothertojust one shot and • Mark Case kept the Marauders close by canning long one handers, I

THE M A R A U D E R S leading scorer, Cal Woodard, ran into foul trouble early in the second quarter picking up his third per­sonal. Woodard sat down with the score 28-21 and when he r e ­entered the game with 4 minutes to go in the half o-E still had 21 points but the Lancers had pulled to 35.

Finishing with a flurry the Marauders outscored Midland 17-14 but the early lead was too much to overcome.

Woodard finished the night with 19 points, giving him a total of 74 for ; the three tournament games.

Other scorers for Ovid-Elsie were: Keith Nelson and Mark Case, 12: Dan Bowles, 10; Chuck Glowney, 8 and Foran, 3,

O-E vs. St. Louis The entire basketball season

boiled down to six seconds for the Ovid-Elsie Marauders andSt. Louis Sharks in the opening game of the Class B District Tourna­ment in Alma Tuesday night.

Following Marauder Cal Woodard's two pressure free throws, Shark Tom Post forced a shot that bounced harmlessly off the rim at the buzzer, giving O-E a hard fought 72-71 opening round victory. It was the third victory over St. Louis this sea­son.

Holding a 12 point lead with six minutes to go the Marauders ran into a sticky zone press that resulted in numerous turn overs. With just 46 seconds on the clock St Louis took the lead 71-70.

The Marauders brought the ball down the court and missed the bucket. St. Louis rebounded and called a time out to plan

then top Laingsburg The Eagles from Fowler had

an easy opening game in the dis­trict tournaments.

It was so easy, in fact, that fans w e r e afraid the Eagle players might become a bit over­confident Thursday night against Laingsburg,

But Coach Charles Tr ie r -weiler's quintet were equal to

both tasks as they burned Port­land St. Pat 's to the ground 92-48 and turned around to capture the Wolves, 98-82.

That added up to 190pointsfor the Eagles while allowing only 130 in two nights.

The Shamrocks appeared much tougher in the first quarter than they looked in the fourth.

Marauders went after the ball with a full press but It took a collision of two St. Louis players to give the ball over. Twenty sec­onds remained.

THE MARAUDERS came down court and with just six seconds to go Woodard was fouled setting the stage for the dramatic finish.

St. Louis canned three more field goals than the Marauders during the contest but 20 for 30 freethrow shooting and strong defense and rebounding was the difference.

Woodard, whose game high 25 points included 15 of 19 free throws, was joined in the scor­ing column byMarkCasewithl6, Keith Nelson and Chuck Glowney 12 and Dan Bowles, 7.

In Thursday night's thriller, the Marauders manhandled the Ithaca Yellowjackets to the tune of 74-66 to gain the right to meet Bullock Creek in the Satur­day finals.

It was fairly close match in the first quarter with the Marau­ders holding a slim 21-17 lead but they managed to pull ahead with four quick field goals just before halftime to gain a nine-point 40-31 margin by halftime.

Ithaca pulled to within three points in the third frame, but never threatened after that as Ovid-Elsie's free throw shooting was just too much for the Yellow-jackets.

During the last few minutes, the Marauders struck for 11 of 21 free throw shots to sink any hopes of the underdog Ithaca squad of taking a district cham­pionship this season.

The Marauders were led by Cal Woodard's scorching 30 point output on nine field goals and 12 of 18 free throw attempts.

Dan Bowles added 20 more on 10 field shots, while teammate John Glowney pushed through 13 points.

Other Marauders scoring were Keith Nelson (9) and Mark Case <2).

The win marked the third time this season that Ovid-Elsie has defeated the Yellowjackets. ,i Scoring broquartersrH-V •4 Gig H:'^ 1 9 'i^\9 _ 7 4

The going was ali t t ler tougher Thursday night for the Eagles against Laingsburg but Fowler came away with a shot at the district title.

Despite the foul -proned Fow­ler attack, the Eagles managed to keep ahead of the charging Wolf-pack to record a 45-53 half-time margin and a 68-52 three-quarter mark.

Leading Eagle scorers were Jerome Pohl with .34 points on 16 field goals and two free throws, and Neil Thelen with 17 points.

Lose heartbreaker 65-57

ream ended by Bath ends long tourney

East Lansing in loss to pen-y By TIM YOUNKMAN

Editor

Coach Doug Japlnga and his Redwings from St. Johns had every reason to expect a victory Wednesday night.

After all, St. Johns sported a handsome 13-3 record, taking the West C e n t r a l conference

championship instyle,while their 'tourney opponents from East L a n s i n g displayed a slightly-above-average 10-7 o v e r a l l mark,

St. Johns had two of the finest duos in the central Michigan basketball ranks in Dean Elsler and Mike Brown.

The Redwings were only held a 75-point-per-game average and

had been held to less than 70 points only once all season.

With height and determina­tion under the basket, the Red­wings nearly always out-re­bounded their opponents by vast margins. With superior rebound­ing, swift guards and good ball handling, the Redwing fast break was a work of art.

However, the East Lansing T r o j a n s weren't all that Im­pressed with the statistics.

The large Class A school, sported some of its best defen­sive work all season in holding the Redwing score to a bare min­imum.

The Trojans, thoroughly throt­tled at times by their other Six A league-mates, never stalled or sputtered in their assault on the Redwing record.

They sHut off the St. Johns attack from the starting tip-off, leading at the first quarter mark, 14-0 and stretched the margin to 30-22 by halftime. Under normal conditions the Redwings would have built up a scoring barage of about 40 points.

The "Big Red Machine" broke down after the intermission by dipping into the bucket only five times for 10 points while the Trojans hustled up 21 points to pull far ahead.

Eisler and Brown finally com­bined for a sustained drive in the fourth quarter by helpingpush through 25 points, but the effort just wasn't enough to catch the Trojans. East Lansing was held to 14 points in the final frame, but it helped sink the Redwings 65-57.

The only bright factor in the whole affair was the knowledge Sunday that Owosso knocked off the East Lansing five in the Class A district finals.

Eisler, dropping considerably below his 26.9 season scoring average, netted 18 points on five

Photos by EDCHEENEY

field goals and eight of 13 free throw attempts. It was Eisler's last contest in a Redwing bas­ketball uniform.

Steve Mead added 14 points, while Mike Brown hit for 11, Randy Atkinson had 12 and Brian Carpenter hit for two.

The cold Redwings only man­aged 17 field goals but hit on 23 of 34 free throw attempts, while East Lansing had 28 field goals and went nine for 15 at the line.

BE sure to drown all fires.

It is not obvious by the score, but Bath lost a very close game in the Class C district basket­ball championship against Perry Saturday night.

The Bees started the playoffs against Byron, a team they had no trouble with finishing with a 73-65 victory.

Paul Stoll was the key man, hitting 14 field goals for an impressive 64 per cent from the floor and pulling down 26 re­bounds.

When the score waB a com­fortable 72-54 in the third quar­ter, Coach Dick Wilt freely used his capable substitutes.

Bath's strength lies in their ability to out rebound their op­ponents, 70 compared to 32 for Byron.

Wednesday night they walked away with an easy victory against Boys*Training School 82-70. The sparkplug of the games was 5*6" Lynn Vletzke. He playedasuperb game, seemingly being every place at one time. He had it all together on defense and offense. The Bees were fouled 15 times with a majority of them on Vletzke who made 12 out of 13 from the line for a total output of 26 points.

PAUL STOLL "maintained his usual consistency with 23 points and 19 rebounds.

According to Coach Wilt, the first two victories can be cred­ited to 'good ball players*.

Saturday night it was a dif­ferent story. Perry was the most determined team in the districts according to some spectators. If any mistakes were going to be made it wasn't going to be theirs.

The game started off fast and furious, trading basket for basket to tie in the first quarter 20-20. At half time it looked like Bath might have a chance with a four point lead 36-32.

The third quarter was Bath's downfall. The team just couldn't get together. A number of turn­overs and bruising fouls kept their scoring down to 11 points, while Perry dumped in 21 points to lead at the end of the third by five points. The tight man-to-man full court press used by Perry was very effective on the Bees.

WITH THE LEAD in hand, Perry appeared to get stronger, shooting better and extending the

QRlCULTUftE FACTION Library corner by GARY A, KLEINHENN

MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU

Michigan eighth graders wrote a book. They are the creators of "America and Me* on what 13 and 14-year olds think about the nation.

More than 3,500 took partinan essay contest with the theme, '"What Can I DoForMyCountry.*

The outstanding characteristic of the 40 page booklet is the honesty you th brings to the reader. The excerpts printed are uniquely the product of youth. They are fresh, revealing, some disturb, whi le others please. They're all youth. And as told in the preface, "Whether these young viewpoints are rights or wrong is incidental. They exist."

HERE'S AN interesting few. . . On protest: "If you don't like the way things are run, don't just mouth off to your friends; write a letter to your senator or re­presentative telling him how you feel.. .»

On pollution: "Erie Lake used to be a beautiful lake, but look at it now. It's totaled. , ." and "I wonder, will there be litter bugs in Heaven too?"

On inflation: "Inflation's when you've got to use a whole pack of gum to make one decent bubble."

Of all the entries, this eighth grader took the blue ribbon,

"I could fight a war, fly an airplane, or be a general; butnow I can be loyal.

"I could be a congressman, pass new laws, or be a gov­ernor; but now I can be con­cerned.

"I could be a great surgeon, do heart transplants, or discover a new drug; but now I can fight heroin.

"I COULD BE a professor, teach at a university, or do scientific research; but now I can stay in school.

"I could be an elder in my church , be an evangelist and preach the Gospel; but now I can pray for my country."

Twice, George Washington F r e e d o m s Foundation Medals have been awarded to Farm Bureau Insurance Group for its statewide community relations program, now in its third year.

The Michigan Farm Bureau affiliate company expects more than 200 Michigan schools will be taking part again this year.

A copy of "America and Me" is available on request.

* . * If Governor Mllliken Is truly

made of "a touch of steel" as his biography of the same name indicates, then his recent en­vironmental message to the leg­islature is a sturdy structure.

However, his proposal to ban non-returnable containers, no doubt, will strongly be opposed by these manufacturers.

Furthermore, his proposal to curb urban sprawl by giving sup­port to save agricultural land will also demand sturdiness to resist lobbying efforts of speculators.

BUT THESE ideas show that the Governor has his ear to the people. In this instance the farm­ers' voice was heard and a plan for action was drawn. The for­warding movement to cure these environmental problems came after deliberative efforts to dis­cover the cause of the disease.

To seek the clear picture, the Governor appointed aTask Force Commission headed by Dan Reed, secretary-manager of the near 60,000 strong, voluntary member family Michigan Farm Bureau. The 10-man force scouted the state to learn what farmers be­lieved.

Throughout 17 hearings, hun­dreds of farmers took part and stepped forth to represent them­selves and their neighbors. More than 70 r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s , straight from the men of the land were then submitted to the Michigan head. Number one was to curb urban sprawl.

In his message, Mllliken con­curred the need for a program to provide for "greenbelt" areas surrounding metropolitan areas to maintain crop lands.

THESE OXYGEN producing crop lands, he said is, "To help assure that effective conserva­tion is practiced, I favor legis­lation that would revise assess­ment procedures in these 'green-belt' areas that would realisti­cally assess the land for its agri­cultural purpose rather than for its speculative value for other uses.'*

The need is great. Over half of our highest quality acreage is In urban areas. In 30 yearB, l£ .the, absence of controls the danger could'be loss of 20 of the best 22 agricultural counties in the state.

Outdoor notes Michigan's Department of Na­

tural R e s o u r c e s , faced with rising operational costs and de­mands for state park camping facilities, is recommending 25 to 50-cent increases indailyfees for their use.

The p r o p o s e d "catch-up* rates, scheduled to take effect May 15, are up for consideration by the Natural Resouces Com­mission at its March 4-5 monthly meeting in Lansing,

DNR parks of ficlals report that the suggested hikes in camping fees would provide an additional $500,000 In annual revenue which is needed to help meet this sea­son's operating costs at state parks.

As proposed, the daily camping fee would be raised from $2 to $2.50 at campgrounds which fea­ture modern facilities, including electrical service at all sites. At other campgrounds which also offer first-class facilities but lack 100 percent electrical hook­ups, the overnight rate would be upgraded from $1.75 to $2.

THE DNR is calling for no change in the $1.50 daily fee at c a m p g r o u n d s which provide rustic-type facilities. In addition to that basic rate, those camp­grounds would continue to carry a dally 25-cent charge for the use of electricity.

DNR parks officials point out that about 2,500 campsites have been added to state parks in Mich­igan since 1966 when daily fees were last increased. Since that time, the number of camper-days r e c o r d e d at state parks has soared from 3.5 million to 6.1 million.

The expans ion of camping facilities and resulting increase in their use has forced the DNR to staff state parks with more rangers, maintenance workers, night patrolmen, and other per­sonnel to handle housekeeping chores and enforcement prob­lems.

These d e v e l o p m e n t s are largely reflected In operating costs for state parks which have climbed by $2.6 million since 1966.

A recent check shows that the DNR's proposed adjustments in state park camping charges would put Michigan's fees more in line with the going rates of neighbor­ing Great Lakes states.

Bement Public Library has the following books, which appear on the current list of best-selling fiction, complied by the New York Times: *QB VII' by L'eqn Uris; 'Love Story' by Erich Segal; ' P a s s e n g e r to Frankfurt' by Agatha Christie; 'Islands in the Stream' by Ernest Hemingway; 'Rich Man, Poor Man' by Irwin Shaw; The Child From the Sea* by Elizabeth Goudge; 'Caravan to Vaccares' by Alistair Mac-Lean; The Crystal Cave' by Mary Stewart; and TheAntagon-ists' by Ernest K. Gann.

The only one on the list which

SOME 187 local project re­quests calling for $5.9 million in recreation bond money were recently forwarded to the State Legislature for its final action, reports Michigan's Department of Natural Resources.

The latest requests, clearedby the DNR in consultation with the State Recreation Advisory Com­mittee, represent the fourth slate of local proposals to be approved for legislative consideration.

Under three previous rounds of screening and legislative re­view dating back to September, 1969, a total of 196 local pro­jects have already qualified for $11.7 million in recreation bond funds. DNR officials and local leaders have signed work agree­ments authorizing 124 of those projects to be launched.

However, beyond this point, many communities have lagged in completing their engineering plans which are needed before construction work may begin. Largely as a result, develop­ment is moving ahead pn about only 60 of the projects which have been processed for funding under the recreation bond program.

Only three of the 196 approved local projects have been com­pleted.

JOSEPH SEAVEY, Chief of the DNR's Recreation Services Divi­sion, observes:

•Our Department and its ad­visory committee have made good progress In getting bond funds be­hind deserving projects, but this program is running into snags at the local level.

Frankly, we are disappointed to see so few of these projects get off the ground for lack of final engineering plans.*

DNR l e a d e r s remind com­munity officials that April 1 is the next deadline for submitting local p r o j e c t s which wil l be screened for p o s s i b l e funding u n d e r the r e c r e a t i o n bond program.

They are urged to submit their requests as early as possible so that the DNR will have adequate lead time to help them make p o s s i b l e refinements in their proposals.

The next package of proposals to gain clearance from the DNR and its advisory committee will be forwarded to the Legislature at the end of May for' final con­sideration.

the local Library does not have yet Is The New Centurions', a strong novel about police work, by Jos ephWambaugh. This author has been on theT.V. talk shows several times, so demand for his book is so great that Bement Library's order has been back-ordered.

Newly arrived at the Library is Wallace Stegner's new book, 'Angle of Repose'. The latest Literary Guild choice, this Is a story within a story. Two nar­ratives run simultaneously, the experiences and reflections of the first-person protagonist, and

the book he Is In the process of writing about his grandparents.

This situation makes for dou­bled interest on the part of the reader. 'Angle of Repose' shows promise of being on the best­seller lists soon.

Best-selling non -fiction at the Library includes: The Making of a Surgeon' bv Dr. William A. Nolen; 'Inside the Third Reich' by Albert Speer; and Dr. David Reuben's now-famous book about Sex.

Three recent books for Lenten reading are: 'A New Song' by Pat Boone; 'Woman at the Well' by Dale Evans Rogers; and 'The Cross and the Switchblade'by the Rev. David Wilkerson. Edgar Cayce fans will welcome the add­

ition of 'Edgar Cayce's Story of Karma' by Mary Ann Woodward,

The staff of the Library is glad to place a reader's name on the waiting list for any book which is out in circulation when it is requested. The reader will be notified by telephone when the book comes back in.

EXTENSION REPORT

Sorghum's best By GEORGE McQUEEN

Some Michigan corn farmers might switch part of their acreage to sorghum this year — if they've been having trouble "With drought, and their 1970 crop was hit by southern corn leaf blight.

Pros and cons of sorghums for grain, silage and forage were cited this week by Stu Hildebrand and Harold Kohls, MlchiganState University crop scientists.

—Grain sorghums have the big­gest advantage o v e r corn or droughty soil.

—Farmers will need facilities for artificial drying of the grain, they said, and will have more problems drying'the grain sor.-ghum than shelled corn. _ ,

—There Is no established mar­ket nearby for grain sorghum so you have to plan on feeding the crop'or finding a local market.

—G r a i n sorghum's feeding value Is like corn's but it Is low In Vitamin. A. Still, It can be used in swine,, cattle and poultry feeds. Generally, i t \ m u s t be ground first, or in some cases, rolled or cracked, ^

—Most grain sorghum varie­ties available are .adapted to longer growing seasons than in Michigan and better fall weather conditions for field drying.

MSU's limited, information on varieties i s based on trials con­ducted on sandy, loam soils in Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties.

C o m p a n y ' s R-920; D o r m a n & Co.'s BR 100; Taylor-Evans Bird-a-Boo and Dekalb's A-25. Other varieties are promising but have been tested only one year.

Sorghums for silage will com­pare favorably with corn In tons of silage per acre on droughty soils. Feed value Is about 90 per cent of good corn silage.

Hildebrand and Kohls said two types of sorghums have been used for silage. One is the regular forage sorghum that ususallyhas somewhat coarse stalks and a fair percentage of grain atsllage harvest time. S o m e that per­formed ' well In Michigan tests are : Northrup-KIng and Co. 300 and 320j Pioneer 931 and 950; and Dekalb FS-1A and FS-4. '

The other type is the sorghMm-sudangrass h y b r i d s that have finer stems than regular forage sorghums and generally a lower percentage of grain at harvest. These are usually taller and more difficult to harvest be cause of the height and lodging. They are more commonly used for green chopping.

Some of the s o r g h u m — sudangrass h y b r i d s that har­vested vwell are: Northrup-KIng and Co. Sordan; Funks- Llndsey-77j Dekalb SX-6, 12 and 15; Paymaster .Farms Sweet 'Sioux;

. IN THESE trials, best varieties, • Taylor-Evans, Yieldmakerj Hay-for -yield ,and m a t u r i t y were, g r a z e r and Chowmaker; rind Northrup-KIng 125; Acco j?eed Pioneer 9B5;

Page g B CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, St. Johns, Michigan Wednesday, March 10, 1971

This column of; questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by die local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by laxpayers.

Q) To have you compute my tax, should I just bring my return into an IRS office?

A) No, the computation is done at the IRS service cen­ter for your area when you file your return. The IRS will figure your tax if your income is $20,000 or less and consists only of wages or salaries, and tips, dividends, interest, pen­sions, and -annuities'' and" y6u' i choose the standard deduction instead of itemizing deduc­tions,

, The IRS will figure both the retirement income credit and your tax for you if you meet the income and deduc­tion requirements. Just follow the instructions at the top of Schedule R. Be sure to attach the necessary schedules and W-2's and sign your return. Further details on this can be found on Page 2 of the 1040 instructions.

Q) My son made over $1,000 last year. Does that mean I'll lose his exemption?

A) The amount, of your son's earnings will not change his dependency status if he was either a full-time student during five months of the year or under 19 at year's end. The

•support and other dependency, tests must still be met, how­ever.

Q) Since I was not married until last fall, I was single most of the- year. Can I file a joint return?

A) Yes, your marital status for tax purposes is determined by what it was on the last day of your tax year. For exam­ple, someone married on the last day of the year is con­sidered married for the entire year.

Q) I've been told I don't have to pay tax on the pay I received while I was out sick. Is that right7

A) You may not be taxed on all or part of your pay received for periods of sick­ness provided certain condi-

r-tions-jar&j mefc-De Wils\bn«ho;vw<3 hj filalm iQiUhehent u/etgiVenB '<m Form"'2*44Q which may be obtained from any local IRS office. • To summarize the sick pay provisions, if your company paid you more than 75 per­cent of your regular pay then you must wait 30 days before you can exclude any pay from income. After the waiting pe­riod, you may exclude up, to ?100 a week.

If you received 75 percent or less of your pay there is a 7-day waiting period. After­wards, you may exclude up to $75 a week. After 30 days you may exclude up to ?100 a week. However, if. you were hospitalized there is no 7-day waiting period.

Q) I hud about $45 in in­terest last year from several savings accounts. Do I have to list how much I got from each of them?

A) In cases where interest income is $100 or less, just enter the total amount of your interest income on the front of your Form 1040. When inter­est income is over $100 it has to be itemized by amount and payor and entered on Sched­ule B.

Q) My tax situation looks so complicated this year that I want to get some paid profes­sional help this year. Where can I get a reliable person .to help me?

A) Call your local account­ing, legal or tax practitioner association. They will be able to supply you with the names of qualified people.

Avoid any person who "guarantees" you a refund or who suggests that the refund be sent to his address. Also, you should never sign a blank return or one that has been .prepared in pencil. Remember, you are legally responsible for every item on your return even though someone else helped you prepare it.

Q) What's the surcharge rate for 1970 incomc7

A) The income tax sur­charge for 1970 is 2% percent. Tables on the surcharge are included with the 1040 in­structions.

Q) I had a loss on some shares of stock I sold last year. Is this deductible?

A) Yes, capital losses ore deductible and con be used to offset capital gains. In addi­tion, capital losses, con be used to offset other income up to a maximum of, $1,000 a year. The limit is $600 each on the returns of married persons filing separately.

Note that the 1969 Tax Re­form Act did make some

1 changes m the handling of capital losses. While short

I term losses ore still fully de­

ductible from ordinary -income,, only one-half of the excess of the net long term capital loss over the net short term capital gain is deductible up to the $1,(100 maximum.

Q) My wife and I both work. Should we file joint or sepa­rate returns?

r j A) Usually,?/ mamiiedfoitax-payers will pay less tax if they file joint rather than separate returns. Since there are situa­tions where this is not true, figure your tax both ways to find out which is best for you.

Note that when separate re­turns are filed, deductions must be handled the same way on both returns. If one item­izes, so must the other. If the standard deduction is used, both must use the same type," either the percentage .deduc­tion or the low income allow­

ed) This was the first year I earned any money. How do I get my tax forms? Must I go to the IRS for them?

A) If you did not file a re­turn for 1969, then you can pick up tax forms and instruc­tions at any IRS office, bank, or post office.

Tax forms are sent to every taxpayer who filed a return the previous year. To avoid sending taxpayers more forms than they may need, the IRS may send a taxpayer one of three different tax packages.

Most taxpayers will receive the basic package, which con­tains copies of the Form 1040 and the schedules used to itemize deductions and report income from dividends and in­terest.

Taxpayers who had retire­ment income, capital gains, or income from certain other sources the previous year will receive a tax package contain­ing the forms for these items, in addition to those in the basic package. Farmers and businessmen will receive a third type of package, which contains the forms in the first two packages plus those j needed Vor«J»rieir<* par^cular I P situation :«i j j)

Forms will be mailed late in December and taxpayers should have them by the first week in January,

Q) Are the tax rates on 1970 income any lower than last year's?

A) Several changes will lower taxes for millions of people when they file their 1970 returns.

First, the income tax sur­charge is 2% percent for 1970 compared to 10 percent in 1969. Second, the amount that may be claimed for each ex­emption is $625 on 1970 re­turns, up from $000 a year ago.

These two changes will re­duce taxes on millions of 1970 returns.

In addition, an estimated six million taxpayers will not have to file a return, as they had been required to do. in 1969. In this group are part-time workers, students and others with low ineome.

Single persons under 65 years of age will .not have to file returns until their income reaches $1,700 ($2,300 . if 65 or older). Returns previously had to be filed when income reached $600. Married persons from the same household en­titled to file a joint return do not have to file until their in­come reaches $2,300 under the new tax laws ($2,900 if one spouse is 65 or older, $3,500 if both are 65 or older).

But anyone who has a re­fund coming because taxes were withheld will have to file a return to obtain it.

Q) Is the cost of fixing up my barn deductible?

A) Repair and maintenance to buildings and equipment used in farming are deduct­ible business expenses* How­ever, when expenses of this nature materially add to the value of the property or ap­preciably extend its life, they must be capitalized.

For example, if you repair the roof of your barn, the ex­pense is deductible. If you re­place the roof, the cost must be capitalized.

Q) My daughter has taken a part-time job for the holidays. Is there a limit on how much she can make without costing me the exemption I claim for her?

A) If your daughter is un­der 19 at the end of the year or qualifies as a full-time stu­dent, the amount of her earn­ings will not affect the ex­emption you' claim for her. The other dependency tests must continue to be met, how­ever.

Q) My company is sending me to Europe for a few months starting in January. Does the IRS have any over­seas offices where I can get tax help?

A) Yes, there are. several overseas offices of the IRS to help U. S. taxpayers abroad. In addition, the IKS sends teams of taxpayer service per­sonnel abroad each year to visit major cities to provide tax help.

Check with your U. S. Em­bassy or Consulate office for details. You can also obtain tax forms from these offices if you need them.

Keep in mind that taxpay­ers out of the country April 15 have an automatic exten­sion until June 15 to file their returns. For additional infor­mation, send a post card to your District Director and ask for a copy of Publication 54, Tax Guide for U. S. Citi­zens Abroad.

Q) The IRS says it will fig­ure the tax for more people this year. Who can take ad­vantage of the offer?

A) Up to ,30 million tax­payers may have IRS compute .

their tax. To qualify, income should be . less than $20,000 and consist only of wages or salaries, tips, dividends, inter­est, pensions or annuities. The taxpayer must also take the standard deduction.

Previously, IRS could only compute the tax for those with less than $5,000 of income, primarily from salaries and wages. These limits disquali­fied many low and middle in­come taxpayers as well as retirees living on pensions or annuities.

If you want IRS to compute your tax, just follow the in­structions for entries on the return and mail it, with at­tachments, to the IRS Service Center for your area.

Besides computing the tax, the IRS will also compute re­tirement income credit for those entitled to it. This com­putation has proven confus­ing to many taxpayers in the past.

Q) When can 1 expect to get my W-2?

A) Employers are required to issue W-2 statements on 1970 wages paid and taxes withheld to their present em­ployees by the end of Janu­ary. Since this falls on a Sun­day, the deadline for em­ployers to issue these state­ments is February 1.

Anyone who left a job before the end of the year should

have received a W-2 within SO days after his last pay check.

Q) Where can I get informa­tion on the changes that will affect my 1970 return? .

A) A summary of the ma­jor changes in the law are listed on the cover of the 1040 income tax packages most tax­payers will receive in the mail. Information on how to. handle these changes are explained in the instructions.

Additional information on the tax law changes as well as other aspects of tax law may be found in Your Federal In­come Tax. This publication may be obtained from most IRS offices for 75(!.

Q) My husband is over in Vietnam in the army. What should I do about our tax re­turn?

A) You are not required to file a return until 180 days after he leaves Vietnam. If you want to .file earlier because you are expecting a refund, indicate in the space where his signature should go that he is serving in a combat zone.

Q) Does the income tax sur­charge apply to all money earned in 1970?

A) Yes. The income tax surcharge rate for 1970 is 2% percent, . *

to make selections for herself and family.

Sewing today means making many decisions in addition to selecting the fabric and pattern. Characteristics of the fabric you choose have definite Influence on how you sew it.

M o d e r n fabrics r e q u i r i n g special handling are often class­ified into three major groups: stretchy or extensible, rigid, and those with surface interest.

Stretchioifabrics are. available in a great variety of fibers, tex­tures and w e i g h t s making It utterly impossible to apply a single sewing technique. In gen­eral however one must use a stitch that "gives" with the fabric.

From that point on, each sew­er must test to determine the amount of stretch needed and other n e c e s s a r y techniques. Synthetic fibers respond best to fine, sharp needles and synthetic threads.

RIGID FABRICS r e q u i r e stitching which gives the least resistance. Taffeta, ticking, dur­able press , wash and wear, non-wovens, spun bondeds and vinyls fit this classification.

Loosened tensions (both top and bottom), fewer stitches per inch (10-12), and fine s h a r p needles are recommended. Top stitching on rigid fabrics often result in puckering after clean­ing.

When puckering occurs while stitching on rigid fabrics often­times some of the following tech­niques may help:

Use slightly bias seams; stitch at a steady speed; use a zig­zag stitch; use thread with same degree of flexibility as the fabric; put a small strip of masking tape over the needle hole of the

machine to prevent sheer fabrics being pulled in.

Sometimes design or surface interest on fabrics cause great­er p r o b l e m s than stretchy or rigid ones. N a p p e d surfaces ranging f r o m fine velvets to shaggy fake furs all require fine thread and needles, loose thread tension and about 8-12 stitches per inch.

Lighter presser-foot pressure helps g u a r d against crushing bulky fabrics. When stitching ex­tremely deep pile fabrics, using a pin to pull out long pile yarns caught in the seams will Improve appearance.

SMOOTH, SHINY fabrics rang­ing from satins to vinyls respond best to a loose tension and light presser-foot pressure. The num­ber of stitches may vary greatly depending on fabric and effect desired.

Some surfaces need protection from the feed dog of the machine so a layer of tissue paper be­tween it and the fabric Is recom­mended.

Sheer fabrics may be stretchy or rigid. Often they need more stitches per inch. They also re ­quire fine needles and thread and a loose tension. Sheers alsooften require tissue between the fabric and the feed dog.

In s e w i n g some types of fabrics if the top layer tends to shift over the bottom layer, try machine basting in one direction and then machine stitching in the opposite.

Sewing can be enjoyable. But today's fibers and fabrics de­mand that the sewer understand the characteristics of fibers and fabrics, know basic techniques and be willing to experiment for herself.

Packaging

By HELEN B. MEACH Extension Home Economist

Once upon a time homemakeTs took their meat home from the store wrapped in brown paper tied with a length of string.

Those days are long gone. To­day, packages c o s t American consumers 32 billion dollars a year. . .seven billion for food alone. Sounds fantastic! Butecon-omists think that without packag­ing improvements, our grocery bill would be 10 billion dollars per year more than It is now.

Consumers insist that they do not like pre-packaged fruits and vegetables. However, recogniz­ing that pre-packaging of Just two vegetables. . .carrots and cauliflower. . .results in annual savings of more than 4.5 million dollars makes the idea sound better already.

Bagged carrots are 65 per cent more efficient to transport than bunched carrots. The new semi-moisture proof film bags reduces transportation and r e ­frigeration costs while reducing loss due to decay,

ANY HOMEMAKER who has ever opened a bag of flour or box of cornmeal and detected the un­

mistakable movement of weevils inside. . .and then had to go through a lengthy cupboard de­contamination process. . .will welcome news of several packag­ing innovations. One is a treated, insect-resistant paper, cleared for food packaging.

Tests show that it prevents invasion of food packages by in­sects for up to six m o n t h s . Another is an irradiator used for pest control in free-flowing bulk grain.

While research is not com­plete, it is hoped this new device will be effective In controlling hatching of insects inside pack­aged food.

Improved packaging for food not only protects what it sells . . .but helps sell what it pro­tects. Packaging researchers are confident that improvements In packaging will help to stem, If not actually reverse, the current downward trend In per capita consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.

It could have equally beneficial results for foods in the other basic 4 groups as well.

Q) What tax rate should I use when I report my maid's wages for the fourth quarter?

A) The combined rate is 9.6 p percent, 4.8 percent each for employer and employee, and should be used when filing your Form 942, Quarterly Re­port on Household Employees, for the months of October, November and December. The deadline for filing and paying the tax is February 1, 1971.

Note that the rate goes up eflective January 1, 1971 from 4.8 percent to 5.2 for both em­ployers and employees.

Q) I have income from a farm I own as well as from a part-time job. Do I come un­der the filing provisions for farmers?

A) You do if a t least two-thirds of your gross income is from your farm operations. If that is the case and you do not file a declaration of estimated income tax by January 15, you should file your tax return and pay the entire tax due by March 1 to avoid a penalty.

Other taxpayers not qualify­ing as farmers have until Feb­ruary 1 to file their final re­turns and pay the tax due, in place of paying the last quar­terly estimated tax installment or filing and paying an esti­mated tax declaration due Jan­uary 15.

Taxpayers who do not have, to file declarations, such as those whose withholding equals or exceeds their tax due, have until' April 15- to file their re­turns.

ASCS REPORT

Wheat signup sp r

i By BILL SMITH

Signup for the 1971 Feed Grain and W h e a t Programs began March 1st and continues through April 9, 1971.

Notification of farm allotments and bases were mailed to pro­ducers in our county on February 25.

The new .domestic wheat al­lotments are causing a lot of concern ^fpr most wheat pro­ducers as they are so much less than their 1970 allotment, about 43 per cent of the 1970 farm allotment.

The new program regulation does not restr ict the acreage that can be planted to wheat in 1971. It calls for the establish­ment of a domestic wheat al­lotment which is the estimated amount of wheat used In our county.

W h e a t certificate payments will be issued for this allotment to wheat producers who signup and participate in the program.

Many wheat producers failed

to get wheat planted last fall. These producers can substitute corn in excess of one-half of their feed grain base for wheats and earn their certificate pay-tf ment.

J WHEAT PRODUCERS whoD

planted wheat in excess of their new domestic allotments do notvl have toadjusttheir acreage. They J. may w i s h to substitute t h e acreage. They may wish to sub- H stitute the acreage in excess of D their allotment for corn or grain sorghum to earn feed grain price A support payment. g

I urge every feed grain and wheat producer to come to ou r^ ASCS office and have the pro- 8 grams explained before April a 9.

Our office hours are from 8:00^ a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday thru > Friday. We will be open two Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. 0 to 12 noon on March 27 and , J

ifi e sacrifice The stark reality of this country's in­

volvement in helping to solve some of the world's problems, and in particular, in the small country of Vietnam, again came home by way of a casket. The supreme sacrifice by another area youth was me­morialized Saturday at Westphalia.

Families who have experienced this deep sorrow should feel some comfort fn* the knowledge that most Americans are proud of their fighting men. And a deep religious faith has stood centuries of test, always coming out the victor.

That their deaths shall not be in vain is the important job we, the living, must strive to accomplish. MacD

Clean-up time When the snow eventually melts and

spring is here, take a good look around your community. Spring isn't usually a complimentary time for towns, least ways until the grass begins to greenup and the t rees start to bud.

If there is an over accumulation of debris in yards, and s t reets need a good cleaning, then you are living in a too typical mid-Michigan community.

Community and neighborhood pride is needed if our towns are going to give a neat appearance. And, we don't always have to wait for city government to do it all.

One of the biggest eye sores in many communities is the t rash barrel next to the s t reet , claiming a permanent position and smoking and stinking up the neighborhood.

With pollution getting a real hard look by njany these days, we .prqfl^cjj, a limited future for the trash burning1 barrel , in .JUJ',

Girl Scout week During the week of March 7-13, the nation

is observing Girl Scout Week. The pur­pose of the Girl Scouts is to inspire girls with the highest ideals of character, con­duct, patriotism and service so that they can become happy and resourceful citizens.

The first Girl Scout Troop was founded in 1912 in Savannah, Ga. by Juliette Gor­don Low. In a way, the Girl Scouts are a counterpart of the Boy Scouts. Together, they make up a vast reservoir of future responsible citizenry.

Whenever we are tempted to become dis­couraged about the future of the United States, we should recall these powerful forces for good that pervade the lives of so many youngsters.

Girl Scout Week is a good time to r e ­affirm support of an enduring organization that helps to guarantee a strong and last­ing nation.

It was an interesting talk, at any rate.

The President delivered his answers with confidence and easily fielded questions he didn't particularly want to discuss.

There was the tone of sincerity in his voice, hen discussing the American withdrawal, that even his .critics cannot deny.

T h e r e was one question and answer that was disturbing.

It had nothing to do with Mr. Nixon personally, but rather, the Presidency as a separate entity.

Mr, Nixon said, in response to a query on our support of a South Vietnamese invasion of North Vietnam, that no U.S,

' troops or airmen would be used unless he determined it to be necessary.

The phrase would have passed without much scrutiny or atten­tion had he used a different sounding phrase. However, Mr. Nixon said, "Unless I determine otherwise."

The "I* in his1 speech had an undesirable connotation to it.

The •I* indicated that Mr. Nixon meant he would do what he pleased with the troops when

he pleased to use them for a reason that he deemed important.

If that was his true feelings on the subject, then wehadbetter get ready for a longer war. Ob­viously, most Americans believe that this is just unwarranted alarm over semantics.

Possibly.

BUT IT sounded as though Mt. Nixon absolutely meant "I* and not Congress. In a sense, the P r e s i d e n t (whoever occupies the Whitef House at the time) can and will commit troops to war regardless of the Congres­sional sentiment.

That's some kind of power. We have'fought numerous bat­

tles over that very same power. It seems that in the late 1700's it was decided that this country would go to war rather than be ruled by an archaic monarchlal system. One of the royal pre­rogatives was to determine the necessity of war—it wfls ruled on the emotional stability of one man, ,

The wars of dictators and kings were wars ofpassionand emotion between themselves and other

rulers. They were fought to dis­pell anger and avenge hurt pride. Almost every war can be traced to one Individual on each side as Instigators.

This nation was founded on the basic principle that this approach to settling international disputes is wrong.

NOW WE HAVE had a series of Presidents that insist it Is their right to wage police actions-kinds of war that kill thousands of people but settle little, if any­thing.

Congress has made a valid at­tempt at curbing this power, but the President is so powerful him­self that he can ignore the ban by simply choosing to do so. He can, in a sense, ignore every citizen in the country to do what he pleases for whatever reasons.

It is too much power for one man to have.

That kind of power over 200 million individuals—held by only one individual—is outrageous. The President should not be con­sidered above the law by the people or he will gladly exercise his new position.

Abortion By SEN.'WILLIAM S. BALLENGER

6RA§S*0OTS OPINION COMMENTS FROM OTHER PAPERS

LITCHFIELD, Minn., INDE­PENDENT-REVIEW: "Institu­tions of higher learning have become too available and too easy to attend. Twenty years ago,' even ten years ago going to col­lege wasv a privilege and an honor. More young people were unable to attend schools of higher learning than those who could. Today with all of the scholar­ships, Increasing number of schools, anyone who wants to go to school can do so, in fact it seems that many go who actually don't want to go. It would seem that the privilege of learning is no longer a privilege but now a place to demonstrate an,d riot. Although the unruly are very much in the minority they do cause enough disturbance to slow down the process of education."

KINGSBURG, Calif., RECORD­ER: " 'The realization is rapidly growing throughout the country that all the nation's domestic ills cannot be solved by Washing­ton, but this realization appar­ently has not yet dawned on many college teachers and authors of textbooks.' This Is a conclusion of a 26 member Advisory Com­

mission on Intergovernmental Relations which . . . issued a report on 'Federalism and the Academic Community.' The re­port covers political science courses offered in colleges and universities throughout the coun­try. The survey concluded there is an urgent need for colleges to reexamine political science programs and to strengthen cur­riculum in local government, state government and intergov­ernmental relations."

SHIDLER, Okla., REVIEW: "We hear too much about the pinkos, malcontents and the government spongers, and too little on the bright side of the nation, which makes the follow­ing announcement heartening. One company that makes Amer­ican flags says sales are up 30 per cent, and his organiza­tion expects a 10 to 15 per cent increase in sales during 1970. Two other flag makers say they expect a 10 per cent in­crease in sales in 1970 over last year. How about this? De­mand, they say, is greater for American flags than during World War U."

Like most other states in the last couple of years, Michiganhas been caught up in the determined campaign throughout the nation to ease, or erase, abortion laws.

T h e campaign is sponsored 'primarily by women's organiza­tions and groups concerned with the rights of women and with the substantial number of deaths caused each year by abortions carried out by quacks, often in extremely unsanitary conditions.

The campaign is being strongly opposed by church groups, es ­pecially conservative Protestant sects as well as the Roman Catholic church, which bases its case largely in the 1869 ruling of Pope Pius IX thatallabortions are murder.

While It is difficult, because of the furtive operations of illegal abortionists, to determine the number of abortions in the United States in one year, figures range from 200,000 to 1,500,000 -with only about 10,000 performed leg­ally.

In Michigan, the estimated abortion figure runs from 20,000 to 75,000.

NEW YORK CITY reports that nearly one-half of all chlldbear-ing deaths are the result of abortions* The late Dr. Alfred Kinsey reported in his famed study that between one-fifth and one-fourth of all pregnancies end in abortions.

The October 13, 1967, issue of TIME magazine reported that an

The fact Is that women have always practiced abortion, defy­ing all laws or taboos against it including the death penalty, which still exists in Pakistan. The inevitable Egyptian papyrus mentions it. Aristotle urged it in general terms, and so did Plato for every woman after 40. Roman husbands were entitled to order it.

Although most of the hierarchy of the Catholic church now agrees in its steadfast opposition to abortions, that church's stand on the issue was long debated until the 1869 encylical by Plus IX.

Perhaps the Roman Catholic's current beliefs about abortions are best expressed by a Catholic attorney named Tinnelly, who states:

"Direct and voluntary abortion isv intrinsically wrong since it is direct killing of an innocent human being. It is never justi­fiable because the person killed has not been guilty of any crime or unlawfulaggressiononaccount of which he could be said to have forfeited his right to live. The state can never have the right to kill an innocent person."

AT THE OPPOSITE end of the spectrum, Rabbi Israel Margo-lies of New York has said: (

"Is it not time that we matured sufficiently to assert once and for all that sexual relations of human beings and their repro-

sides seems to be best expressed by the above statements.

Another frequently debated question is: When does life begin?

Aristotle and St.Thomas Aqui­nas and other great thinkers of the past held that separate life comes into existenceatthemom-ent of "quickening" or when fetal movement Is felt by the mother.

Most medical scientists and modern biologists feel that an unborn child Is a continuous pro­cess which begins at the mo­ment of conception.

N e i t h e r Protestantism nor Judaism separates the soul from the body nor attempts to dictate the precise moment at which the fetus is imbued with soul.

The right of abortion before "quickening" was included in common law in the United States until 1827 in Illinois and in most states until the Civil War or later,

Rhode Island had no abortion law at all until 1896, while Arkansas did not provide punish­ment for abortion before "quick­ening" until 1947-nor did Mis­sissippi until 1956.

On a worldwide basis, many countries — notably Russ ia — changed their attitude on abor­tions depending upon their man­power needs.

After World War II, Japan had 72 million persons living in a space the size of California and added 11 million more in the next five years. However, after abor-M m ductive consequences are not the ^ ,

Property tax squeeze By REP. DICK ALLEN

Property Taxes -School Aid. I'm frustrated, disgusted, Im­

patient, , . . mad. This is my third year in the Legislature and we have not made one lota of p r o g r e s s towards r e d u c i n g s c h o o l s dependency on local property tax.

This has always been one of my major objectives. I'm not alone or even in a minority; almost all p o l i t i c i a n s of both p a r t i e s publicly endorse property tax re­lief. So do school administrators, city and county officials and the public.

So what do we get7 Nothing! Or maybe even a step backward. The Governor's budget for 1971-72 gives such a minimal increase to schools we'll be lucky if local schools can get along on present millages; certainly few can stand reductions, and some will ask for Increases.

AND THE BUDGET also in­cludes extending for another year the reduction in property tax credits that infuriated taxpayers last year!

So we politicians talk much and achieve little. If there has been no real progress by next election, throw us out, including

The obstacles so far have been mainly these three:

—Shy, nervous or reluctant legislators. The necessary in­crease in the income tax is shocking- morethanmostpeople realize.

Many legislators, whi le sup­porting property tax relief in principle, are afraid to vote the necessary income tax increase,

—Highly principled/uncom­promising legislators. High prin­ciples are fine, but when you get a number of legislators standing on this "principle* or that, un­willing to compromise their "in­tegrity", they can be a worse obstacle than the shy ones.

—A highly personal opinion; we depend too highly on taxes on industry. Every time a tax change is proposed we have to spend a lot of time debating whether i t ' will affect this or that Industry adversely.

Will industry be forced to move out of the State or from one area to another? Local districts with lots of industrial tax are reluctant to move to Statewide finance.

Basically no one can pay taxes but people. Corporations only pass taxes on to people and I think they usually hit the little guy hardest, the consumer and the worker.

Also heavy dependence on in­dustry for government funds makes it difficult to regulate them as well as we should. Gov­ernment cannot bite the hand that feeds it.

The people of Michigan will have to pay for the education of their children. We should do It in a way that everyone sees where it's coming from. That means a direct tax on personal income - but I'm willing to com­promise.

Mr. and Mrs. George Weeks of Lansing spent Sunday with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orval White.

When the House of Representa­tives last week voted to submit the question of the 18-year old vote to the people of Michigan again this year, it was a dif­ferent proposition from the one which was rejected by the same voters last fall.

At l e a s t , the situation has changed considerably.

As noted before in this column, our election officials face the problem of conducting, in effect, two separate simultaneous elec­tions in 1972.

One of these will involve voters 21 years of age andolder to select local, state and national officials and a second election in which those people between 18 and 21 years of age will be allowed to vote for national officers only.

This situation has arisen be­cause of the enactment of legisla­tion at the national level which granted the 18 year old the right to vote and a Supreme Court d e c i s i o n which held that the federal law can be applied only to federal elections and that states retain the right to es­tablish voter qualifications for state elections and local elec­tions.

THE' RESOLUTION passed by the House also specified that a special election be held this fall on the question. However, it was pointed out during the debate that, there are several other items being considered for referendum and these would be added to the ballot at the same time.

I personally would like to see an election of this kind when Issues could be settled apart from the partisan campaigns of general elections.

But, the action of the House of Representatives is not final. The Senate must concur before

from the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund to the General Fund.

Tm> bill varies from the Gov­ernor's request in that It pro­poses to pay interest on the borrowed money and to remove the $1 annual charge insured motorists pay to support the fund,

Here again, there Is a varia­tion from what the Senate is con­sidering and differences will have to be resolved. But, I hope that whatever the final action is on the loan of the money, the $1 charge to the insured motorist is removed.

I appreciate that d u r i n g the first few years it may have been necessary to levy this fee to build up the fund but feel it can safely be removed at this time.

The bill, as it passed the House, provides for reinstate­ment of the charge in the event claims against the fund Increase to a point where its solvency Is jeopardized. But, no one predicts this possibility in the foresee­

able future.

There was a fellow by the name of Simon. He was a ma­gician in the city of Samaria, and everyone thought he had the power of God, because he could perform magic.

Then Philip, the disciple, came to Samaria, and he preached the good news about the kingdom of God. Many people believed and were baptized, including Simon. The signs and great miracles that Philip performed in the name of Jesus really impressed Simon.

The thing that really got to Simon was his witnessing of Peter and John laying their hands on the new Samaritan Christians and t h e i r receiving the Holy Spirit.

Simon thought this was pretty great, so he asked if the disciples would give him some of their power, so he could lay his hands on people and give them the Holy Spirit. He even offered money to Peter and John.

But poor Simon; he really got chewed out by peter. Peter said to him, "Your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with moneyl You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

"Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the

intent of your heart be forgiven you.*

THE BIBLE calls each one of us to repentance. But what does it mean? The Biblical concept of repentance isllterallya*turn-ing about.* It is a mental turn­ing around—a change of direc­tion—a change of attitude.

There are three actions in­volved In true repentance— three acts that you and I must com­plete before we have truly re­pented. They are the three "C's* of repentance: Confession, Con­trition and Commitment.

This week I'll discuss con­fession.

Confession implies a realiza­tion of sin. Nobody can confess, if he thinks he has done no wrong. In the First Letter of John in the New Testament we read, *If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he Is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteous ness. *

The 32nd Psalm points out the relationship between sin and con­fession. In verses 3-5 we read, "When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of

eway a thing's said By WARREN E, DOBSON

In days of old, so we are told, In each king's- retinue

Were found wise men who acted then As soothsayers good and true.

In one event a king had spent, A nightmare of a night.

With king in trouble, seers "on the double" Were brought to calm his fright.

The first brash seer who did appear Had a pessimist coftiplex.

Said he "I fear there's trouble near That will your future vex",

, • "Your friends and kin will be done in . Before your days are.done

In coming days and divers ways They'll leave you one by one."

Now such a fate did not create The peace and calm Intended

Said the king "no more will you keep score, Your welcome here is-ended."

The next to come, was hot so dumb, In optimistic vein ' .

"Good king" quoth he "I do agree, You happily will reign."

*Tis* plain to tell you will be well, And outlive all your peers

The chance is best, you'll win the test, And rule for countless years,"

So the happy king made welkin ring, -The seer was happy too,—

He became the* top of all the crop And gained in revenue.

Both men were wise, and I surmise * Both sincere in what they pled, But lessontrue I must renew,

Much depends on how it's said]

So if you find and are inclined T6 choose a way that's "pat"

Though you say the same the better game, Is to be a diplomat. *

interesting and important for Third District constituents have been the Agriculture Committee hearings onpesticide control, and the Armed Services Committee hearings on proposed changes in the draft.

IN THE LAST few years pes­ticide use has become quite a con­troversial issue. Agriculturists defend them as an indispensable means of protecting crops from harmful insects, and environ­mentalists criticize their poison­ous potency if misused.

The controversy has become centered on the Hill as the Agri­culture Committee considers ac­tion on the Administration pro­posed Federal Environment Pes­ticide Control Act of 1971 and re­lated legislation.

The main thrust of the bill is to extend Federal regulation (through the Environmental Pro­tection Agency) over the produc­tion, distribution and use of pes­ticides. The director of the EPA would be in charge of registering pesticides and seeing that tests are performed to determine their environmental effects.

Included as -witnesses during the hearings this week were of­ficials of the EPA, State De­partment and Department of Agriculture who stressed the im­portance of pesticides in main­taining and improving our current food production level, and envi­ronmentalists and scientists who urged curbing pesticide usage and developing alternative methods of crop protection,

THE SELECTIVE Service law expires at midnight June 30, and the Armed Services Committee is now hearing testimony on the

President's bill to continue the draft for another two years.

Witnesses have also testified on recommended alternatives to the draft—including legislation which 1 have Introduced to es­tablish an all-volunteer army and to prevent unwilling draftees from being sent to serve in com­bat areas.

The all-volunteer army bill embodies the recommendations of the Gates Commission that such a force is both desirable and feasible. The bill concen­trates ontryingtoincreasewages for men and women in the service —especially during their first term.

I have proposed a bill to guar­antee that no draftee inducted after March 1 be involuntarily assigned to an area of combat as a type of interim measure between the draft and the all-volunteer army proposal.

My bill would test the work­ability of depending upon volun­teers for national defense and the effectiveness of incentives such as increased pay, in pro­moting increased voluntary duty.

IN AN IMPORTANT vote this week, Congress decided 227 to 162 in favor of raising the na­tional debt ceiling by $35 bil­lion to $430 billion. The Admin­istration had originally requested an increase of $40 billion.

The House also voted to per­mit the Department of the Trea­sury to sell up to $10 billion in long-term bonds without regard to the 4 1/4 per cent interest ceiling previously in effect.

While many people feel that raising the debt limit is a step

toward national economic ruin, it is obvious that the alternative is non-payment of obligations the government owes.

If we are to return this nation to a state of greater fiscal re­

straint, it must be dorfe'by ^St-penditure controls siadeCbqntrbli by a debt ceiling—a shutting of the gate after the horse is gone— is a most Ineffective device.

summer. But when 1 acknow­ledge my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, *I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,* then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin."

Confession is the first step in repentance, and when we con­fess our sins, we should be specific. When you examine your own life, ask yourselves ques­tions like these:

•Have I been more interested in myself than In God?*

"Have I been vain about my personal appearance, my clothes, my possessions, myabilities?

"Have I ridiculed other persons for their misfortunes, their sins, their stupidity, or possibly their religion?

"Have I wanted popularity so much that I have not said my prayers, or done Christian deeds for fear of being laughed at?

"As a child, am I being as loving and respectful to myfather and mother as I should be?

• "AS A PARENT, have I given

as much care and attention as possible to the religious life of my family ? For example, with regard to grace at'meals, famllj prayers and church attendence?

"Have I seen that my children are getting adequate and con­tinuous instruction in religion?

"Have I been gossiping-about people? Do I hold a grudge against anyone whom I am unwilling to forgive?

"Have I refused to help any­one who was in real need? Have I neglected the sick and the poor?

"Have I failed to be friendly with people; especially with one who is not very popular?

"Have I allowed myself to be over-engrossed in light reading, the movies, television or other pastimes, to the exclusion of more worthwhile activities?

"Have I cheated in business, games or studies?

"Have I tried hard to pay my debts? Have I contracted debts unnecessarily?

"Have I been ahypocrite?Have I been harsh toward others ,for, sins 'that I have committed'my-1

because they have more than I do, or because they are better looking or more successful? And have I been glad when they failed or were in trouble?*

These are the kinds of sins we must confess privately to God. Otherwlde we cannot begin to>be repentant.

Next week I'll discuss con­trition.
