ton draft board members resign
f
ST, JOHNS—In a surprise move Friday,
four of the five Clinton County draft board
members signed a letter of resignation addressed to President Nixon as a protest
over the conviction of Lt, William Calley,
Jr., who, was s e n t e n c e d last week for
murdering 22 Vietnamese non-combatants.
Those who resigned are DaleF.Robinson,
James Halfmann, LloydPetersonand James

In the letter, the board members said they

In an interview Monday, Lewis told the

taking.

I don't think there is any connection between the trial and the draft board,* Lewis
said, "The resignation will just cause confusion.*

"I didn't know they had a meeting to

said.

tornado hits
By BOB GAVAN
News.Staff Writer
ST, JOHNS—Many people are under the
impression that the safestplacetobe,lnthe
event of a tornado, is in the southwest
corner of the basement. Not true, according to Robert Babb, chief of the weather
;
bureau In Lansing.
Babb was meeting with Charles Frost,
Clinton County Civil Defense Director when
he made the statement.
"The southwest corner is hot safer than
any other corner'in the basement," he said.
"We say get in;the basement under something heavy." '
;'
*Most people are killed' by debris. In
the old days, houses were far apart and
people were relatively safe, but now with
the houses close together, debris falling
from other houses can kill."
Babb stated thattherehasbeenagradual
change in the past few years with more
reliance on local authority than a central
authority. "The weather bureau can issue
a watch, but now it is faster for the local
people to observe and report any suspicious
clouds or formation to local âuthorities,"
he said.

The Clinton ^County Sheriff's Office is

r clean-up day
#EWAMO - WESTPHALIA - The Environmental Action Day project for the Pewa mo-Westphalia area was announced today
by local leaders of the environmental cleanup campaign.
The project is scheduled for Saturday,
April 24, and lt is part of a statewide
program being co-sponsored by State Rep.
David M. Serotkin of Mt, Clemens and the
Michigan Student Environmental Confederation (MSEC).
This is one of many environmental
protection projects that the MSEC has organized and been involved in since their
beginning In November. The MSEC is'also
coordinating Earth Week activities in Michigan.

but added he would take a wait-and-see
attitude before the next meeting.
*I can't Justify the position of putting
a boy In a spot, such as this," Robinson
said. *It's not a pleasant job and'I'm
making the decision Influencing someone
else's life,"
Halfmann said the board-would have to
make a unified position concerning future
meetings until the resignations are officially accepted and replacements named.
"The resignation was a direct result of
the Calley decision," Halfmann said.
He agreed with Lewis that he thinks the
local board will be phased out in the
future and that the Ingham board would
take over the main responsibility for drafting Clinton County men.

The Clinton board members' resignation
Was the second state-wide. The Huron
County draft board also requested the

The life imprisonment sentence handed
to Lt. William L, Calley Jr. for the murder of 22 Vietnamese men, women and
children during the 1968 My Lai massacre
has stirred public sentiment.
According to White House reports,
President Nlxbn has received thousands
of telegrams running about 100 to 1 against
the court martial conviction.
Some Michigan State University students
have voiced their opinions, and not all are
pro-Calley.
Eugenia Becker, 211 E. Dill Dr., DeWitt, a senior majoring in social science,
has mixed feelings about Calley's sentence.
"If the Nuremberg trials mean anything, I
guess my personal feeling is to agree with
the jury,"
Miss Becker was -very surprised at
public reaction. "I'm-still trying to decide
where it's all coming from. Are people
trying to say war is Immoral and that Calley
is a product of the system?"
While Miss Becker doesn't think Calley
should go free, she believes more than one
person is responsible.
When asked if she thinks Nixon will
intervene, she said, "Idon'tthinkheshould.
He has no basis to if it was a fair trail."
Keith Thelen, S. Wacousta Rd,, St.
Johns, a freshman majoring in engineering,
said of Calley, "He's just an instrument of
what the military has told him to do."
He thinks Calley could have been somewhat
aggressive himself, but was encouraged
by the army.
He was surprised that people have taken
time to express their reactions and in the
ratio that they have.
Regarding Capt. Ernest Medina, Thelen
said, "Assuming he-gave the orders, he
should be held as much responsible as Calley," He thinks there is something wrong
if Medina is not tried. Thelen thinks
Medina is more involved than higher officers, but he's not sure either Calley or
Medina deserve too much punishment.
On the question of Nixon intervening,
Thelen had no answer. "Nixon's a hard guy
to predict. He doesn't always follow what
the public seems to want."
Thomas Mauro, 13435 Dawn Dew Lane,
DeWitt, is a graduate student and ateacher
in the DeWitt Schools. His feelings toward
Calley's sentence are based on his brother
in Vietnam.
"If you ask him who the enemy is, he'll
tell you he doesn't know. He has seen men
blown up by seemingly innocent children,"
Mauro said.
Mauro thinks Calley simply was the most
convenient person to blame the My Lai
incident on, and that he wouldn't be surprised if eventually he was aquitted.
He thinks all parents are beginning to
wonder now about their sons and those in
Vietnam, and was not too shocked with
public reaction. "I'm glad to see there is this
much concern for a man who was doing his
job," he said,
Rosemary- Foerch*, 141 Wi High, Ovldj
and a no-preference freshen, thinks the
decision was unfair. "I think they're wrong
for trying to. blame one persons for the
shame everyone1 has to take, and I hope
his appeals go through," she said.
Miss Foerch was surprisedatthepublic
reaction. "I didn't think people would come
out as strong as they have, but I'm proud
that they have," She did expect people to
be scunewhat apathetic, she admitted.
She doesn't think Nixon will interfere.
"Right now, I think he'll stay out of lt and '
let the courts decide," she said.
Debra Westland, 1003 Lincolnshire, St.
Johns, a sophomore in'human ecology,
said of Calley, "I think he's getting the
rap for a lot he's not responsible for,"
She anticipated the response the public
has given. She said people are realizing
there is no justice in war regardless and
"it's bad when someone gets the rap like
that."
Miss Westland thinks Nixon will follow
public opinion and Intervene in the matter
if that is the action the public points to.
Daryl Melvin, 8401 Island, Elsie, a nopreference sophomore, believes Calley is
being used as •& scapegoat for the army.

Dear friends,
Many c l e r g y m e n and
doctors, .while attending the
dying, have reported seeing
the apparition of the spirit
leaving the body at death.
Many survivors have reported
the momentary appearance of
the spirit of a loved one at
the moment of death. If these
marvels were mortfgeneralfy
known, the doubting •fhomas*
would find greater conviction
in the resurrection of Christ
and of our own promised r e s urrection which we celebrate
this glorious Easter Season.
Sincerely,

for revenge

Westphalia this year.
During the annual contest between Fowlerand Westphalia in
the Red Cross . Bloodmoblle

the lead and are trying to reach
the 100-pint mark next week.

pints 86 - 83, although overall
Fowler leads in donations 167163, The village with the most
pints donated after three'years

coverage and the blood will be
drawn by a team of professional
Red Cross staff nurses.
Times for the Bloodmoblle
visit in Fowler are 1 p.m. to
7 p.m. The hours were set for
12 noon to 6 p.m. but the Fowler Jaycees requested the change

But Panthers have good team
Clinton County
of Cole may effect title bid
>t
DeWITT—A rebuildlngyeai^for
any high school squad usually puts
the coach on a spot in trying
to predict a league championship.
But for Tom Isenhart, DeWltt
baseball coach, that situation was
not going to be a problem. That
is until the state wrestling championships claimed one of his
brightest hopes for the upcoming 25-game campaign.
Mike Cole, a standout catcher
last season when the Panthers
won a share of the CMAC title,
was injured during afinals match
last month and underwent surgery
for knee damage,
Isenhart is doubtful now that
Cole will be able to play. If they
can get the three-sport letter
winner back in the lineup, hewill
probably see only limited action,
Isenhart said the team was
set back by the graduation of
four all-conference batsmen including Mike Ashley, Mike Botke,
Rick Berry and Steve Swan. Cole
was also an all-conference ballplayer.
But Isenhart insists that he can
fill those shoes with some other
outstanding baseball prospects.
He pointed to Roger Warden.
"Roger hit eight home runs
as a sophomore, and was all-
conference that y e a r batting
.350."
»
Wardell, an all-state football
player, is a pitcher and first
baseman—and has been attempting some catching chores.
The Panthers will have eight
of their 13 letter winners back
this season including Ron Wilcox,
another three-sport letterman,
who will be doing some catching,
among his other duties in the infield.
High in the hopes for the
Panthers and Coach Isenhart is
Pat Botke. The hard throwing
pitcher was 3-1 last season and
was "quite impressive as a
sophomore," according to Isenhart.
Isenhart has been Impressed
also with two other sluggers,
Tom Keener and Doug Klaver,
and said thatmuch of the season's
success will depend on these two
players.
0.
8
The Panthers, who not only
tied for the league championship
last year, but also won the Everett Diamond Classic, expect some
rugged competition from two
other CMAC rivals.
"St. Pat'.sv will be tough this
year and Fowler has all but one
of Its team back," Isenhart noted. &
The Panthers will open the season April 8 against Byron and
the schedule Is packed with some
tough non-conference games, according to Isenhart.
Especially close contests are
expected against the Ovid-Elsie
Marauders, the coach said,
"We* have a young team with
four sophomores from last year,"
Isenhart said* "We will have a
really good team ne^xt year."
With the talent available, including five more freshmen and
sophomores, CMAC challengers
will have an uphill fight to unseat the 1970 champs.

Wilcox, catcher, Mike Moody, shortstop, Kurt Kluge, outfield,
Roger Wardell, first base-pitcher and Coach Tom Isenhart.
Front, Pat Botke, pitcher, Tony Vettraino, catcher, Tom Keener,

Humphrey optimistic
Redwing golfers in rebuilding
ST. JOHNS-It will be a rebuilding year for the St, Johns
golf team this season, as the
Redwings defend their 1970 conference title through a 14-match
schedule.
The Redwings, besides their
conference championship, placed
second In the regional competition last season and fifth in the
state title play.
Coach Mike Humphrey said he
will have only one of last year's
starters back with the return of
John Estes.
"Up from the undefeated junior
varsity team for two years in a
row will be Greg Lounds, Bill
Pioszak, Brian Carpenter, Ken
S c h u e l l e r and Tom P u n g , "

LANSING—The Department of
N a t u r a l Resources' s a l m o n
planting program for this spring,
scaled up to about 7.5 million
young fish, is scheduled to begin
this week with coho releases in
the Platte River and Lake Michigan waters off-shore from Point
Betsie, Portage Lake Outlet, and
North Big Sable Point.
Approximately 200,000 coho
fingerlings will go into, each of
those 3 coastal areas this week
as an experiment to try to maintain and increase the open-water
catch gf salmon while reducing
the number of surplus fish r e turning to local streams.

Bay, Au Sable, and Cass r i v e r s .
The DNR's 1971 total for coho
and chinook is up about 900,000
from last year, mostly reflecting substantially larger plantings s c h e d u l e d for the Lake
Huron area. One of the Department's major new moves there
this spring will be to stock
250,000 coho and 200,000 chinook
in the Cass River north of Flint.
Those releases will be made
as an experiment to see if that
stream can develop a successful
salmon fishery, for lower Lake
Huron comparable to the one
which the Grand, Kalamazoo, and
St. Joseph rivers have produced
for southern Lake Michigan.
The e x a c t dates for t h i s
spring's salmon plantings in the
Cass River will be publicly announced by the DNR at least 1
week before the releases a r e to
be made.
The Cass River is strategipally located to serve large numbers of fishermen. The young
salmon to be introduced there
will make their way through the
Saginaw River into Saginaw Bay
and open waters of Lake Huron
where they will grow to adult
size before returning upstream.
On the Lake Michigan front,
the DNR will liberate about as
many coho and chinook as last
year, but it will make some
major shifts in planting e m phasis besides trying to raise
angler returns in the 3 offshore areas to be stocked this
week.
Under a n o t h e r
Important
change, an additional several
hundred thousand coho will be
redistributed from some of the
lake's n o r t h e r n streams to
southern Michigan's Muskegon,
Grand, and St. Joseph rivers.
Previous smaller coho plantings In those 3 southern streams
have produced good angler r e turns and DNR fisheries officials
now believe it i s time to step
up releases there to make the
most of the rivers' sportfishing
potential.
Salmon plantings slated for
Lake Superior waters this spring
a r e essentially at last year's
level with an increase in chinook^
releases programmed to offset
a reduction in coho numbers.

THE BEAUTIFUL WOODS IN THE SPRING
The grass is growing.
The sun Is shining brightly in the sky.
I have many, many pets in the woods.
The deer eat out of my hands and the
Raccoons climb on my back.
The woods are beautiful in the Spring.
The rivers are running swiftly and softly.
"Yes" there's no place,
"Yes" no place like the woods
"In the Spring time."
—Jean Walton
THE BEAUTIFUL ONE
The beauty of that girl,
Short blonde hair and gleaming eyes,
She reminds me of one other of my
brother's.
Her personality is like the sun,
Bright and warm so friendly one,
She is kind of shy like the sun,
Behind a cloud but when she is around
friends she's like the midday sun.
She is so plain, no fancy things.
She's so funny, like a bunny.

SPRING
Skies are blue
'Cause It is Spring,
And all the birds
Chirp, whistle, and sing.
As I run in sheer delight
Waiting for day, to meet the night.
Then I sit upon the shore,
Getting sleepy, More and More.
But then I slide into my bed
With visions- dancing through my head.
Soon I am off to sleep,
All these memories, to have and keep.

SNOW
The snow was as a bjemishless lamb, ?
It sparkled with the joy of a star.
I love the snow because of the love it brings.
And the way if fills the empty space.
The rain came one day and took the snow away,
All we had was mud and the empty space.
We were glad but now am sad,
Because the rain took away our snow.

THE FOREST
The Forest is pleasant and beautiful.
With flowers blooming and oak trees,

The forest has a stream,

I can see all this while I'm standing here,

Listen to the wind, as it goes running by

WINTER
Poetry
SPRING
Spring is the time of year to do your
spring cleaning and watch baseball.
Spring is the time to get out your bikes.
—Stanley Searles
NO TITLE
Winter is such a fun time.
Winter is the time to think-skiing,
Snowmobiles, icefishlng.
It's time to think clean fresh air,
Snowmen, snowforts, snowball,
Snowmounds.
—Stanley Searles
"LOVE"
Love comes as birth does
Knowing its own time,
FIRE
Fire is what people are afraid of.
When a house is a fire people run skittleskattle.
Like ants when an ant hill is on fire.
-Stanley Searles

"TIME"
Time is like a dime
Not lasting too long.
Winter has gone, Spring is coming.
The birds are flying north.
Ice is melting into water.
The trees are turning green.
There's a lot of sunshine.
The gallant horse so swift with every move
Acta like a bird when he flies over the fence
He prances so gayly with people daily
Thinking he would get more food.
Grass is growing.
Ponds are melting.
Flowers are blooming
Birds are making nests.
Our street is full of mud.
Frightened with fear from fire on his ear
He ran all over the barn.
The animals thought he was a clown
With a great big frown.
Playing around with a clown
He saw a girl
The clown couldn't control him,
And he went for a whirl.
-Julie Talt
It is windy outdoors.
It is a warm temperature.
At night it is cool.
.It gets hotter every day.
Summer is here, hurrayl
—Ward Rand
PALL
The leaves fall all day.long
With stories telling of a song.
The days go by freely and gay,
With dancing leaves all night
and day.
And the winter winds blowing around
And the birds singing with a sound.
Soon it snows and covers the trees
And with the gleaming freezing lakes
Now the wintery winds are heard
With the trees and flowers snuggled
in their beds.
—Robin Delo
WHAT HAPPENED TO FALL?
It's fall and leaves turn golden red.
Flowers beauty is all dying.
The snow is falling to make the ground
white,
The ground is turning dull color to very
bright.
Why did it have to snow, it was so colorful.
But I guess that's the way God made it to be,
I can not see why it had to be this way—
From a beautiful fall to a cold winter night.
—Jerry Bashore
SMOKING
Snoking, No, I'm not joking,
Because if you start smoking,
Then you'll start poking, poking,
poking,
Yourself with a needle.
You should have listened to myren.
Because now all you hear is a siren.
-Bill Estes
IN THE CrTY
In the city there's so much noise,
Trains are blowing their whistles,
Cars are honking, sirens screeching.
What about the pollution?
The trash laying all around
The smoke from the smokestacks,
And smudge from mufflers
What about that - do you want
children to play in
THAT?
—Theresa Schneider
COUNTRY MOOD
Smell, sniff that fresh air, It's not
smelly, smoggy and dirty.
Wake up early in the morning in the
winter
In the country the snow is fresh, clean
and white, not black.
Fresh air, not smoggy and dirty.
I love the country.
Fresh clean air, air, air, air, air,
air, air.
—Stanley Searles
CITY MOOD
Noises, screeching, and babies bawling and
thcyelfing-of kids. •
Cars, trucks, all adding to the noise
and pollution.
Screeches of sirens and smells, really
horrible smells.
Where did all that fresh clean air go^to.
Isn't there a place at all where you get
away from all that?
Isn't there7

You hear a crispy, crackle as waves hit rocks,

Little kids frolicking around in the water.
A boy with wondrous idesas, walking along

Dune buggies go whizzing by,
Happy little families jump into their boats
And go boating through the wide and wondrous

ST. JOHNS-Michigan S t a t e

Those trials were runinMichigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,Tennessee, South Dakota .and Iowa,
- Here are the r e s u l t s ^ 1 , f ^
—Hols'tein steers consistently
outgalned beef type steers in
every experimental comparison.
The range watf from .$2 to .50
pounds daily gain witha .22 average. So. . .when fed comparable
rations, Holstein steers will outgain beef type steers of comparable age and weight.
—Feed efficiency is about equal
(8.16 versus 8.19) in pound of
feed required per pound of gain.
But results were not consistent,
Holstein steers were more efficient in three experiments and
less efficient in seven.
—Holstein steers eat more.
In all but one case, Holstein
steers consumed more feeddaily
than beef type steers—and that's
why the Holsteins consistently
gained faster.
—Holstein steers had a lower
dressing per cent (58.2 per cent
versus 61,6 per cent).
—Beef steers graded higher.
The average beef steer graded
low choice, the averageHolstein,
low good. Likewise, degree of
marbling was lower for t h e
Holstein steers (Small versus

Fertilizer prices had been declining for several years. They

The report is entitled "Fertilizer Situation", and describes
trends inU.S,production and consumption jpf fertilizers.
The study found that production capacity Is sufficient to provide U.S. farmers with their
requirements for all three primary plant nutrients - nitrogen,
phosphate and potash. Much of
the U.S. potash requirements will
be furnished from Canada.
DESPITE THE adequate production capacities, delays andbad
weather may prevent prompt deliveries to the farmers during the
peak spring season. Thus the
farmers are encouraged to take
delivery of fertilizer early in the
season.
The report cites rising costs
of raw materials, l a b o r and
transportation as factors contributing to the higher prices.
For example, ammonia supplies
about nine-tenths of all fertilizer
nitrogen, and the leading raw
material for the manufacture of
ammonia Is natural gas. Prices
of natural gas are going up and
spot shortages will probably develop.
Rail freight rates have been
Increased for fertilizers four
times within the past two years.
Motor freight rates are also
higher and labor costs are risingV
These increased costs "will generally be reflected In the product prices.
Fertilizer usage by UJS. farmers this year is expected to
exceed last year's volumes. A
major factor in this increase
was the spread of the Southern
corn leaf blight into the Corn
Belt last year. Corn is presently in short supply and corn
prices are high.
Farmers are expected to fertilize heavily and try for maximum yields to take full advantage
of the high corn price.
Cows getting
better diets
i
EAST LANSING—Dairy cows of
the future will receive better
balanced diets than most people,
thanks to a computerized ration
formulation system recently developed at Michigan State Uni- ii
>n
versity.
"Use of the computer system Ji •
to formulate dairy cattle rations 91
will be available to every farmer W
who has access to a telephone," A
says Dr. Donald Hillman, MSU
dairy nutritionist.
)u'
'Information such as f e e d s til
available, feed costs and average
cow size can be called directly
to a computer at Ann Arbor,
Mich. The farmer holds the telephone line—for about five seconds
—while the computer figures a
least-cost, nutritionally balanced
ration."
v
The only cost to M i c h i g a n
farmers is for the long distance
call. Farmers in other states are
charged a fee based on computeruse time.
T ie system was developed by
MSU agricultural economists and
dairy scientists. But using computers to aid farmers' decision
making Is not new for the MSU
staff.
Since 1969, 31 computer programs have been developed at
MSU to aid farm management
decisions. Farmers have been
able to contact the computer
by telephone for f e r t i l i z e r
recommendations, tax management guidance and estate planning help.

By REP. DICK A L L E N

Dear Editor,
I think it to be ridiculous
that the Calley court-martial has
raised such a furor among the
veterans' groups and conservative Americans.
T r i a l by ones peers is a very
compatible system of justice with
a democratic government, since
it was a military trial by Calley's
fellow officers in a unanimous
verdict, who can question the de=
cision?
The immediate good derived
for the local community has been
the resignation of four of our five
draft board members in protest.
These noble veterans have sat
in Judgment of many men seeking
CO status only to refuse them.
Most young Americans have entered the military and many have
given their lives because it was
the law of the land.
Our area draft board must
operate under a different s e t of
standards, becausewhen they see
something they don't like, they
quit!
Who a r e the real patriots and
whom should be sitting in judgment of whom?

TWO
PROBLEMS in that
"other
factors r e m a i n i n g
steady."
Currently
many
"wealthy" school districts a r e
spending more than twice the
amount per pupil of that spent
by "poorer" districts. If the
State took over financing, would
it be possible to move these
"model", systems with their fine
laboratories, expensive voca tional programs, and well-'paid,
advance degreed teachers back to
the statewide average?
Or i s it more likely that we
would move the "poor" districts
up to the higher level? Answer
that question for yourself and
plug any increase into the income tax level.
Another critical question. Can
we really increase corporate
and financial institution rates to
this degree without further loss
of jobs in Michigan? Everyone
now recognizes that industry
taxes' a r e * for"*' the most part
passed on to consumers, b u t
there is a point where it gets
difficult to get new industry to
locate in Michigan.
Some have suggested to solve
this problem and also avoid the
extreme fluctuations we experience in corporate income tax,
we should squarely face the tax
increase in the form of personal
income taxes.
,*FACTORS
REMAINING
steady,** this could be done at
about the 10 or 11 per cent
level (if local governments did
not share in the increase as they
now share in the income tax).
Many feel this level, combined
with already high Federal Income and Social Security taxes
would be a severe burden on low
and middle income groups.
So some recommend changing
our Constitution to a l l o w a
graduated State income tax. This
has b e e n emphatically turned
down by voters on two recent
occasions, and one might say at
this point, "this is where I came
in."
And then an o v e r r i d i n g problem in many people's minds. If
the State Income Tax is used a s
the entire revenue source for
schools, thelevelofspendlngwill
be decided by "those guys" in
Lansing instead of us voters here
at home.
More proposals in the near
future.
What is better government?

Property tax - again.
A statewide campaign is being
conducted to put State Rep. Hoy
Smith's "Fair Share Plan" on the
ballot. This does not eliminate
property tax but goes about as
far as anyone is •willing to suggest. •
It would completely replace
property taxes for school operation. While in many areas this
would be major relief, keep in
mind we would still have property
taxes for school construction and
local government.
Assuming t h e replacement
money would come from income
taxes, where would these go?
The first draft of the Governor's
proposed '71-72 budget puts income tax at 3.6 per cent p e r sonal, 7.8 per cent corporate and
10 per cent on financial institutions. This tax level, viewed as
m o r e conservative than, can
likely be passed, will raise about
$750 million.
Present school operating millage raises about one billion doll a r s in Michigan. Other factors
remain steady; simple arithmetic would indicate operating
millage could be replaced by an
income tax of about 8.4*per cent
personal, 18.2 p e r cent corporate, and 23 p e r cent financial
institutions.

Mrs Porter C. Parks
elfare scanda
By SEN. WILLIAM S.' BALLENGER
familiar subject — welfare—I
wonder how many people in the
mid-Michigan area have read the
story about the Detroit mother
of half a dozen children who has
drawn almost $4,000 in welfare
assistance from the city and state
while her estranged husband and
basketball star son drive pink
and gold Cadillacs.
This little fable tells us a lot
about why Michigan taxpayers are
having to pay so heavily for welfare costs these days.
When a prominent former
Michigan State University basketball star last year signed a
' million-dollar contract with a
western professional basketball
team, he said he did it so his
mother could have a home and
his brothers and sisters could
have food and clothing.
As I*m sure everyone in the
30th Senatorial District by this
time knows, Gov. William G.
Milliken has recommended that
the so-called "age of majority" be
lowered from 21 to 18 years of
age.
This would mean that 18-yearolds could make a contract, such
as for the purchase of a home or
a car.
It would mean that they could
make wills. Now an 18-year-old
may marry but he cannot bequeath his property to his wife.
It would mean that an 18-year
old could inherit money without
having a guardian sign for him.
It would mean that an 18year-old would be permitted to
vote in Michigan elections as well
as in federal elections.
And it would also mean—and
here is the provision that is expected'to cause the most heated
controversy—that 18-year-olds
could legally purchase and publicly consume liquor.
THE ISSUE OF liquor for 18year-olds is almost certain to
run into extremely strong opposition from church groups and
others Who feel strongly that
there should be some restraints
on youngsters for their own protection.
The 18-year-olds say: "If we
are old enough to die for our
country in war, we are old enough
to enjoy the benefits."

But, in talking with people
throughout the district since
then, I have learned the problem
is not just one of small local
interest. Rather, there is considerable concern throughout the
district over this matter as is
shown by letters I have received
and by callers at both the St.
Johns and Owosso offices.
First, it should,be stressed
that all lotteries are illegal in
Michigan. Article IV, Section 21
of the State Constitution reads,
"The legislature shall not authorize any lottery nor permit the
sale of lottery tickets." In past
years, the courts have ruled that
"Bingo* and similar games are
lotteries under this clause.
Paradoxically, the courts have
also ruled that horse racing and
associated pari-mutuel betting is
not a lottery and is not unconstitutional.

But, since Bingo is against the
law, I cannot be a party to ignoring that law by taking a position
against its enforcement. This is
the very thing we criticize other
people for1 — that is, choosing
which laws we want to obey and
violating at will those withwhich
we disagree. The proper approach has to be to change the
law.
To this end, several of us here
in the House of Representatives
are seeking to have a proposal
placed on the ballot for a vote
of the people of Michigan to
amend the Constitution and remove its restriction against this
type of activity. The proposal is
being drafted at this time and
should be introduced within the
next few weeks.
IN ADDITION, on the chance
that the courts might reconsider
its earlier interpretations, we
are preparing legislation which
would provide for the licensing
of Bingo parties under certain
conditions. This bill will allow
service clubs, churchs, fraternal
organizations, etc, tobelicensed
and obtain permits to operate
such games when the proceeds
from the games are used for
charitable or p u b l i c service
projects.
Many of us,are aware that besides providing entertainment
for many people, Bingo games
have r a i s e d a considerable
amount of money to support these
activities.
What can you do to help?
To make any progress in the
legislature will require support
from all over the state. If you
are interested in seeing some
a c t i o n this year on these proposals, you should contact your
friends in all areas of the State
who are equally interested arid
ask them to get in touch with
their legislators.
I will keep you informed of the
progress of this legislation. But,
it will take a concerted statewide effort if we are going to
have any success.
