Tragedy and triumph were the
bywords in picking the top two
news s t o r i e s of 1968 in the
Clinton County area.
Unfortunately, t r a g e d y went
with the No. 1 story—the shocking total of 29 violent deaths
on county highways during the
year. The fatalities were nearly
2 1/2 times the numberofpeople
who died in traffic accidents in
1967 and were by far the highest
number in recent years.
The No. 2 story was the heartening one — when the financial
chips were down for the city of
St. Johns, a c i t i z e n s group
formed and raised enough money
to open the swimming pool for
Imrv-NiTb
P
the summer, with the Lansing
YMCA operating it.
It was the unnerving continuity
of the traffic accident stories
throughout the year that distinguished it over the pool story
as the top news of the year.
Hardly a month went by in 1968
that at least one traffic death
yta.s not recorded, and the numbers started counting up only
three days afte r the new year
began.
There were two triple fatalities during the year—a two-car
c r a s h on South Shepardsville
Road and a one-car mishap on
Francis Road—as well as two
double fatalities among the total
29. As the numbers of Victims
soared unbelievably out of proportion, more and more people
around the county became aware
of the situation, and talk of the
rising toll could be heard everywhere.
' DURING APRIL AND May, the
talk around the central portion
of Clinton County concerned a
summer swimming program for
youngsters of the area. The city,
shackled with an austerity budget, had announced it couldn't
foot the costs for opening the
pool, let alone operating it. The
Lansing YMCA proposed to run
a swimming program if some-
rp
nmrirN
body could raise the money to
put the equipment in working
order and get the pool ready to
open.
A group of interested citizens
got together, and under theleadership of Dr Herb OaUey they
raised in a few short weeks more
than $14,000—enough to get the
pool ready and buy necessary
equipment. Late arrival of some
of the equipment forced a delay
in opening Jhe pool until June
24, but it was a popular place
during a hot summer that lasted
through Labor Day.
Clinton County was a newsy
place during 1968, and there were
a lot of other "top" stories
n
V
throughout the year, each holding
a special degree of importance
to various people. The Clinton
County News, however, tries to
pick out the top 10 for county wide importance, interest and
readability.
Following the traffic deaths
and pool program in the ranking
of "news" was the St. Johns
austerity program and its many
ramifications. The city commission put the austerity budget into
effect late in the spring following defeat of both an income
tax proposal and an alternate
charter millage limitation plan.
The short-of-money City of St.
Johns cut back a lot of its pro-
n\n

grams and personnel in the face
of a lean financial future. There
was a lot of public grumbling
but also a lot more public participation, as witnessed by the
pool fund drive, the city park
clean - up and other do-it-yourself projects.
In the wake of theprogramcame
the resignations of the city clerk
and city manager, new men in
those positions, new water rates
and finally a city commission

113th Year, No. 36
ST. JOHNS, MICHIGAN — WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1969
New city proposal
may wait
months for
K
That proposed new city in DeWitt Township may be merely
a proposal for quite a while yet before residents of the affected
area get a chance to vote on it.
The Clinton County Board of Supervisors last -week set
a tentative date of Nov. 4, 1969, for the election on the question.
The date drew criticism from some of the supervisors and r e sulted in a less-than-unanimous approval.
. Reginald Nelson, DeWtH Township supervisor who proposed
the No. 4 datej said he* felt the residents of the affected area
should have an opportunity to vote on this single question without being influenced by such things as school millage elections
and other related -votes that will probably come up through the
spring and summer.
' BI ask only that the people have a right to make their own
decision," Nelson said. "It appears they have a choice of the
north half going with DeWitt, the south half going with Lansing
or forming their own city. We want a date that is not antagonistic
to voters."
While the board of supervisors approved the Nov. 4, 1969,
date by a 12-5 vote, it is still only a tentative date subject to
ilnal approval by a 'new elections commission appointed earlier
in the supervisors' session last week.
CARTER SAID THE PETITIONS bore the signatures of some
160 persons and that his checking has showed at least 144 of
them to be valid and legal. He said the petition seemed to be
in order and there 'was nothing to prevent the board of supervisors from taking action on it.
According to law, Carter said, the board had no choice but
to set a date. The only question in the 12-5 vote seemed to be
the date itself.

GERALD LANKFORD, SUPERVISOR from the City of DeWitt,
was the first to question the November date and said he thought
it was too far away. He dais he felt a big issue was the possible
relocation of the White Motors plant In DeWitt Township and
the proposed annexation of that property and the property between
it and Lansing to the City of Lansing. He said a decision should
be. made earlier so that White Motors could make its plans
accordingly.
Lankford was one of those voting against the date. Joining
him in opposition were Supervisors Rex Sirrine of St, Johns,
Walter Thelen of Westphalia, Maurice Gove of Bingham and
Raymond Mayers of Bengal.
Voting for, approval of the date were Supervisors' Charles
Coletta and Tom Hundley of St. Johns, Herman Openlander of
Watertown, Claude Underhill of Victor, Norman Thelen of Riley,
George Austin of Ovid, Walter Nobis of Lebanon, Derrill Shinabery
of Greenbush, John Setterington of Essex, George Moore of
Duplain, Nelson of DeWitt Township and Bill Hufnagel of Dallas.
There were five supervisors absent.
The supervisors' discussion and action came after County
Clerk Paul Wakefield detailed his research and work on petitions
Vhlch had been filed in his office Nov. 14 asking for incorporation of parts of DeWitt Township as a city.
The proposed city would encompass 12 7/8 square miles,
involving all of sections 3,10,15,16,21,22,27,28,33 and 34, plus
all of sections 4 and 9 not already in the City of DeWitt, the west
one-half of sections 26 and 35 and a narrow strip on the east
edge of section 32 north of the intersection of DeWitt anoVSheridanx

County Regional Planning Commission which did the drafting
of the ordinance, admitted the
ordinance was not perfect and
that it would need amendments
in the future.
The final text of the new zoning law for the rural areas of
the county was hammered out
by the zoning commission about
4 p.m. last Monday. The commission had held a public hearing at 10 a.m. that same day,
with over a dozen persons showing up to ask questions or just
listen. After th&iheaxing_was adjourned, the commission met
with Tri-County officials to make
the final corrections before presenting the package to the board.
The new zoning ord'nance has
been in the works for over a year.
Many meetings were held, and
Roman of the Trl - County Regional PlanningCommissionsaid
there was much more work went
into it than was thought necessary when the proposal was accepted by Tri-County. He said
Tri-County will be asking for
more money to cover the additional cost.
The board of supervisors,
after the superficial discussion
and assurance by the zoning commission and the zoning committee, passed the ordinance by a
16-0 vote, with six supervisors
absent at the time.
Borrowing
for gravel
site OK'd
The Clinton County Road Commission got'the blessing of the
board of supervisors last Monday
to borrow $150,000 to buy and
develop a new gravel supply at
an undisclosed site in DeWitt
Township.
Donald Haske, engineer-manager of the road commission, toldi
the supervisors the site would
yield enough gravel for a four
township area for from five to
10 years.
He said the commission would
like to borrow $150,000 against
anticipated gas and weight taxes
for the next 10 years so that
the land in question could be purchased and the gravel supply developed.
He noted the rising costs of
trucking gravel over great distances and said the new site and
supply could result in considerable savings to the county.
Haske and two of the road commissioners also present said
they needed a formal resolution
from the board o£ supervisors
approving of the plan. The r e - .
solution would be presented to
the Municipal Finance Commission for hoped-for approval of the
loan.
"WE HAVE NOotheroutstanding bonds or notes," Haske said,
"and we see no problem in getting this through the finance
commission."

the county and the money it takes
to do it with. Voters in St.
Johns and the Ovid-Elsie d i s tricts rejected extra-voted-millage proposals last March by
slim margins but then approved
almost identical proposals in
June, giving administrators just
enough time to get their staffs
hired and lined up before school
started in September.
While county folks seemed r e luctant to give their governing
organizations m u c h financial
assistance, the "good guy" feel •ing was apparent in the conducting of the Clinton County Communities Chest drive during
1968 Under the chairmanship of
Ink Whiteandwith an experienced
group ofleaders, the drive topped
$23,600 and 100 per cent of its
goal for the first time in r e cent years. T h e achievement
rated No. 5 in the top 10 stories
of the year.
The No. 6 story is still only'
a proposal, but it has far-reaching effects. In November came a
proposal to incorporate about 13
square miles of DeWitt Township intoanewcityreachingfrom
the north to the south borders
of the township. The board of
supervisors set a date of Nov.
4, 1969, for a vote on the question.

Senior citizens
can apply for
tax exemption
*
It's time for eligible senior
citizens to apply for their property tax reduction under Michigan's Homestead Tax Exemption
Law, which saves more people
more money each year.
Last year this law meant an
average saving of $104 to 184,000
senior citizens. The state spent
$19,300,000 reimbursing l o c a l
units of government for the tax
loss.
All eligible Michigan homeowners who are 65 years of age
and over will need to file an
affidavit at their local assessor's
office for a tax reduction for their
1969 taxes. Those who applied
last year must file again.
Applicants may file between
Jan. 2 and sometime in March,
a date set by e a c h local assessor's office. There are no lien
provisions attached to the Homestead Tax Exemption Act, and
there will be no attempt by state
or local governments to collect
from the heirs or otherwise attach the property.

Michigan residents of more
than five years, aged 65 or over,
are eligible for the exemption if
their homestead and real property tax value does not exceed
$20,000, and their gross income
does not top $5,000.
Each applicant must supply a
deed, land contract, or mortgage;
a birth certificate or other legal
proof of age; a recent tax bill or
bills for all real property owned;
and his social security number.

Spanish Club, treasurer of the
Mathematics Club, and is secretary of the junior class. She
is also a 4-H Club member and

records on microfilm, and the
income of the office has gone
from approximately $800 p e r
month in 1959to£3,000permonth
now. Since the county abstract
department no longer operates
they also have all those records
to keep; they date back to 1837.
Mrs Belknap says accuracy is
demanded at all times in her
field. She has kept records of
all personal mortgages as well
as deeds and abstracts. This involves about 7,000 items per
year (the law requires all mortgage records to be kept for seven
y e a r s ) . The office worksfrequently with credit bureaus and
various abstract offices, mostly
in the St. Johns area.
The vault next to Mrs Belknap's
office is stacked from the floor
to the ceiling on all four walls
with filing drawers and ledgers.
She says In her opinion it would
take at least two years foraperson to "learn the principles and
be sure about the records."
The government is constantly
changing the regulations and this,
too, involves more learning. This

tt
The old year wanes. The last sands trickle down
the hourglass as the old man totters into irrevocable
past and a lusty infant year begins.
Bells ring in church steeples, confetti rains, horns
blow. People sing and shout and maybe shed a tear.
Cries of "Happy New Year" fill the ears and fall on
happy hearts, or sad.
To some, the old year brought joy and happiness.
To others it held sadness and despair. Thus, men greet
the new year differently; some with mockery, some with
resolution, still others with a smile.
"Whatever your feelings about the year ahead, there
is one way to be sure of its promise. God is the source
of all goodness. Make Him and His Church a part of
your life and you will find the strength and inspiration
to make each day prosper.
The sum of its days shapes the year.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship, it is a storehouse of spiritual
values. Withoui-a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regularly and support the Church.
They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake.
(3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go fo church regularly and read your Bible daily. •

ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH DECORATES WINDOWS
For the Christmas festival, St. John's Lutheran Church decorated a number of its windows with
panels telling the story of God's plan of salvation from creation to the apostolic era. Originally
made by the Rev Theodore C. Moefler J r . , pastor of St. John's from 1965-68, they were reconstructed this year by the youth group of the congregation. In the first panel on the right Is the hand of
God in creation, the panels of the next window represent the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai. The
• fourth and fifth panels indicate God's fuller revelation as heralds trumpet His coming. In the sixth
panel, the plan of God becomes clear as Jesus, the paschal lamb, was slain. In the last panel the
Holy Spirit descended with tongues of fire on Pentecost. Robert D. Koeppen is now serving as
pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, located on US-27at Sturgis Street.

Medical Folklore Usually Wrong
While much of medical folklore is now obsolete and largely
forgotten, there are still many
completely erroneous beliefs
about their health held by sizeable numbers of people in our socalled age of enlightenment.
TODAY'S HEALTH GUIDE,
the American Medical Association's manual of health information for the American family,
points out that grandma Is not
always wrong in her concepts of
health. But she often is wrong.
The book lists some of the
common misconceptions about
health—
• Eating between meals is always harmful (untrue).
• Had breath means disease
(not so).
• Milk should not be taken at
the same time as sour fruits (not
so),
• Proteins and carbohydrates
should not be eaten at the same
meal (incorrect).
• Dally bowel movements arc
necessary for health (untrue) ,
• Pain in the back must indicate kidney disease (incorrect).
• Pain in the abdomen means
11 n overloaded stomach (wrong).
• A laxative is good for abdominal pain (it is sometimes
dangerous).
;>• I'ood kept in an open tin can
is necessarily "poisonous (nut if
properly refrigerated).
• Scales from scarlet fever and
measles spread the disease (nose
and throat secretions actually do).
• Sewer gas makes people sick
(no—it's just unpleasant) ,
• Pimples and boils indicate
bad blood (they are due lo infections) .
• Doric acid strengthens the
eyes (it docs not).
• Fried and highly seasoned
roods arc harmful (not in moderation) ,
• A cold can be broken up or
aired (it cannot).
• You feed a cold and starve a
fever (no).
• Eye muscle exercises will
eliminate) the need Tor-glasses (a
dangerous fallacy).

ally associated with symptoms of
illness for three or four days before the rash appears, such as
fever, and coughing.
The other kind of measles,
rubella, is known as "German
measles" or "three-day" measles.
Rubella's rash is less pronounced,
and there are few pre-rash symptoms, However, if a woman contracts rubella during the first three
months of pregnancy, it can affect
the fetus and result in birth defects.
An effective and safe vaccine
is now available Tor rubeola or red
measles. It produces only a few
minor reactions, but in return provides almost complete protection
which may last a lifetime. If all
children between ages of 1 to 0
who have not already had measles
or a dose or live virus measles vaccine could be immunized, measles could be eradicated from the
United States. Vaccine can be administered by your doctor in his
office or during measles vaccination campaigns.
The vaccine against German
measles is not yet ready for general use. An effective one appears
to have been developed but research must still solve the problem oE making it in sufficient
quantity to meet present needs. It
should be available in another
year or two.

MILK FLOWS LIKE. . .
Milk and dairy products take
about 19 per cent of what the
housewife spends on food, and
Michigan's milk production in
1967 was 4.7 billion pounds. For
the farmer it was worth nearly
$250 million, the largest single
source of farm income in the
state. As a dairy producer, Michigan stands seventh. About half
of this vast milk supply is sold
as bottled milk with the rest
going into manufactured dairy
products. Michigan was the first
state to have a conipulsory milk
pasteurization law, and in 1966
the state adopted a uniform dairy
inspection law to better serve the
consumer and the industry.

Sahli said t h a t forms with
which to make the report will

Sahli urges all aliens to comply with the reporting requirements, as willful failure to do so
may lead to s e r i o u s consequences.

This Time How About Peace and Good Will?
The other guy' philosophy
One thing we didn't do too well around
Clinton County during 1968 was drive safely
on the highways. It was a t e r r i b l e y e a r
from that standpoint. Twenty-nine p e r s o n s
have died so far, at the time of this writing,
'and that number i s m o r e than twice the
number of people killed in accidents in
Clinton Co,unty in 1967.
Why?
Probably b e c a u s e too many people had
told t h e m s e l v e s it always happens to the
other guy. They allowed themselves, the
deadly luxury of relaxation at the wheel and
thoughts of something other than the road
ahead. Or' they p r e s s e d their foot down
on the a c c e l e r a t o r , content that they knew
how to handle any p r o b l e m that might pop
up in front of them.
Or maybe they took that one m o r e s n o r t
for the road and became a s n o r t i n g menace
in t h e m s e l v e s . Or maybe they figured a
r u r a l gravel road i n t e r s e c t i o n was only
a c r o s s i n g and never a meeting place for
two c a r s .
Four children among the 29 v i c t i m s
w e r e n ' t old enough even to think that such
highway h o r r o r couldn't happen to them.
Now t h e y ' r e dead, along with 25 other youth
and adults who made one of those fatal
mistakes.
The ironic thing is that those people
w e r e n ' t alone in makingthose m i s t a k e s l a s t
y e a r . But they got "caught" at it, and they
paid the deadly p r i c e . O t h e r s of us a r e
al.ive today, maybe shaking from a close
call but still telling o u r s e l v e s it always
happens to the other guy.
What fools we a r e !
With 1968 now at an end, we can s t a r t
the new y e a r with a clean highway traffic
slate', but we probably won't take long to
t a r n i s h it. T h e r e ' l l be hundreds on the
highway driving with the abandon of the man
who thinks it only happens to the other
guy. Once rin-- awhile somebody will find
out how wrong he can be. And somebody
e l s e will say, "See, it happened to the other
guy, not m e . "
T h e r e a r e few families in Clinton County
that haven't been touched by a traffic
fatality, or at least an injury, this y e a r .
If the victim wasn't somebody in the i m mediate family, you probably knew him o r
h e r as a r e l a t i v e , a friend, a fellow w o r k e r , a s c h o o l m a t e , or a friend of a friend.
How many of these 1968 v i c t i m s fall into
that category:

While the prospects remain
dim for any immediate command performances, one of the
minor challenges of the new
year has come to me in the
form of a guitar. The four kids
and b.w. teamed up and presented me the i n s t r u m e n t
Christmas morning and after
over five y e a r s of flannelmouthing on how I was going
to learn the art of strumming
one of these things they called
my bluff.
If experiences of the past
are any indication, the five
years of threats will be exceeded generously by my efforts to not master the Instrument, but merely become familiar with It. The area of
music is one which shows me
little favor, and once past the
traditional tippling songs of college days few of my vocal or
instrumental offerings warrant
encores.
My years on the ukulele bear
this out,
What seems like eons ago a

me and my restless fingers
couldn't know contentment until
they came tips to strings with
a ukulele. The first several
months I
practiced with a
zeal which would rival that of
a chimpanzee on a banana boat,
but it was only too painfully
obvious I just didn't have it.
Not only could I not tell an F
chord from an A cord, but my
fingers were not attuned to the
flitting' up and down the frets
and frequently they became tangled together In a ' f a s h i o n

OPINION
COMMENTS FROM OTHER PAPERS
- ANDERSON, S,C, FREE PRESS: "In a lenghly report,
the U.S. Department of Transportation has announced it plans
to study free auto repair and free public transportation
service for poor people forced to drive aging, unsafe cars
to hold a job. The Department pointed out that many unsafe
and aging cars are owned by low income wage earners. It
proposes to offset this situation by giving the poor wage
earner a choice between private and public transportation
in getting to work. . . .Considering the clamor being heard
these days from the so-called 'poor,' free auto repair is
a cheap gesture on the part of Uncle Sam. A free Cadillac
is more in line with what 'spokesmen' for t h e ' p o o r ' p r e sently are asking."
HARTLEY, Iowa, SENTINEL: "We, of the p r e s s , may express our ideas and criticize, individuals and organizations
as long as we do not abuse the privilege 1 and unjustly injure
an individual or invade his privacy. Or groups may assemble
for peaceful purposes, as they do every day, but when the
freedom and safety of others a r e threatened by such assemblies they can no longer be condoned."

The modern
Christmas story
By JIM FIT7GERALD
On my first Christmas In the
newspaper business, not long
after the original production in
Bethlehem, I decided I should
write a modern Christmas story,
You know, one of those tlnselteared fables where reindeer
tald and an unmeltable snowman
rescues a Barbie doll from the
clutches of the meanest man in
the supermarket. M o s t newspapers publish such stories during the holiday season, In the
same section with the 1,234,567th
reprint of the famous column
assuring Virginia yes, there is
a Santa Claus.
I thought I'd write a parody
oh the three wise men, maybe
something called The Three Wise
Guys. Instead ofkingsoncamels,
I'd have hoods on motorcycles.
Instead of following a star, they'd
be zeroing in one one of those
huge spotlights w h i c h swish
across the sky, magnificently
heralding the opening of a new
shopping center*
t
The three wise guys wouldn't
be bringing gifts to an infant.
They would be doing their Christmas shoplifting.
Trouble would come when a
floorwalker spotted a portable
TV hanging out of a wise guy's
black leather jacket. He screams

I'm wary of new resolvin's,

Amiable governor
By ELMER E. WHITE
Boyishly handsome, easygoing
Lt. Gov. William G. Milliken
moves into the Michigan Governor's office through 1970 with
the appointment of Gov. George
Romney as U.S. secretary of
housing and urban development.
Milliken, 46, a businessmanturned - politican, is a close
iriend and confidant of Romney.
They headed the state Republican
ticket in Michigan in 1964 and
again in 1966.
Before that Milliken served
four years in the State Senate,
including a two-year hitch as
majority leader. He has legislative savvy.
L i k e Romney, Yale-educated
Milliken is considered a • GOP
moderate. The two, however,
are entirely different personalities. Romney J s an intense,
hard-driving individual. Milliken
prefers that amiable, friendly,
relaxed approach.
'^Mllliken's detractors say he i s
"too nice" to be an effective
governor. They say his easy
manner hinders instead of helps
him.
But many Milliken watchers
say his mild appearance belies
a deep toughness. They say he
operates quietly but firmly, and
with strong conviction.
"I don't believe civility is a
sign of weakness," says Milliken
to charges that he is too soft.
"And if I have to I can knock
anybody's head, I can take whatever action is necessary."

WILLIAM MILLIKEN
lieutenant governor to ascend to
the governorship through a nonelective route. The last time it
happened was in 1939 when Lt.
Gov. LurenD. Dickinson of Charlotte took over following the death
in office of Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was the only man
among the 37 who have been
elected governor of Michigan who
died in Office.
Traditionally, a n incoming
governor e n j o y s a honeymoon
with the Legislature, a period
when the lawmakers a r e disposed
to be as generous with him
as possible. Sooner or later, of
course, it ends,
Milliken has some advantages
that Romney did not enjoy.
The incoming governor has had
four years in the Legislature
and even longer acquaintance
with politics as such. Romney,
the automaker president-turnedgovernor,* had no legislative experience and little involvement
in partisan politics.
Romney had a fiscal dilemma
on his hands, with the state deep
in debt and an anti-income tax
Legislature to deal with. Milliken
faces a treasury surplus. The
state income tax has been a
part of Michigan life for more
than a year,
l o t M i l l i k e n has an infectious,
charm which should be of great
assistance to him as governor.
He owns what has been called
a "Gee, I like you" grin and
bestows it frequently.
There's also a quite intensity
to Milliken, though—an almost
grim determination to p u s h
through barriers and obstructions, to get the job done.
CAPITAL OBSERVERS expect
Milliken to be more a team
player than Romney and less
e m p h a t i c about imposing his
views on others. That can be a
big asset, both in winning Republican and opposition support,
Milliken, they say, won't be
caught pounding desktops or talking about being brainwashed.
"He'll be more diplomatic than
Romney," says one Republican.
"He's got polish galore,"
Milliken brings the astuteness
of a successful businessman to
the governor's office. He took
over the family department store
at age 22 and built it into a
major Michigan chain with out'tets.in Traverse City, padyiacn
and Manistee.
,
He entered public life at age
25 when Gov. Kim Sigler appointed him to the State Waterw a y s Commission. He later
served as Grand T r a v e r s e
County Republican chairman for
six years.

quickly settle down to' two or
three weeks of inertia.
It really i s not anybody's fault
that little will be accomplished
in the opening weeks of the s e s sion, it's just the nature of the
work. •
First, there is the matter of
recounting the ballots in the 109th
house district to ascertain who
should be allowed to represent
that Upper Peninsula area of
Iron, Menominee, Gogebic.and
Marquette counties in the Legislature.
Under the 1963 State Constitution, House members, through
a special committee, must p e r sonally conduct a recount when
a seat in that chamber is at
stake.
Rep. Jack Gingrass, D-Iron
Mountain, has advised the House
he will file a recount petition
when the 1969 session opens.
GINGRASS LOST HIS 109th
district seat by 318 votes to Republican John D. Payant of Kingsford in the Nov. 5 election. The
official certified total was 15,233 votes for Payant and 14,915 for Gingrass.
The recount delay could stall
the session long enough to p e r mit Lt, Gov. Milliken to submit
the state of the state message
to theLegislatureasthenewgovernor of Michigan.
Milliken will become governor
a f t e r Gov. George Romney r e signs to take over as U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, But Romney won't
leave office until the U.S. Senate
confirms his appointment to the
p o s t , expected shortly after
Richard M. Nixon is inaugurated
as President Jan. 20.
Republicans a n d Democrats
have selected their leaders for
the 1969 session. No surprises
or new faces emergedfrom their
s e p a r a t e organizational caucuses.
The Demoprats, who will hold
a 57-53 edge in the House, named
Rep. William A. Ryan of Detroit
as the next speaker. Rep. Stanley J. Davis of Grand Rapids
got the No. 2 job of speaker protempore.
Other key jobs went to Rep.
>George F . Montgomery, peiroit,
majority floor leader, and Matthew McNeely of Detroit, a s sociate speaker pro-tem.
Ryan, everybody's idea of a
nice guy and a political liberal,
won the coveted speakership in
a five-candidate race. He p r o mised to work cooperatively with
Republican House members for
the betterment of the state.

Q - I've taken over my mother's
support from my brother. Who
gets to claim her as a dependent
this year?
A - Under the support test
for claiming a dependent, the
person who provides more than
half the total support for the
calendar year is entitled to claim
the exemption. To d e t e r m i n e
whether you or your brother
qualify, add up your mother's
food, clothing, shelter and other
expenses for the year. Then find
out whether you or your brother
supplied more than half of them.
If neither you nor your brother
furnished more than half of this
support but your combined contributions totaled over half the
support, then you may want to
consider the multiple support
agreement. Such an agreement
enables one of you to claim
your mother as a dependent providing certain conditions are met.
Be sure to check this provision
of the law, as well as the other
dependency tests, before you file
your return next year.
I'm not much fer resolutin',
In this or any year,
But more kind words I need to speak
While folks are round to hear;
I crave more progress toward the things,
Before my journey's end,
To give to folks I chance to meet,
Due cause to call me friend.

There Is a word called patience
That I've not learned too well,—
Grain takes due time to ripen,
Other things take time to jell;
I'm not tellin' any secrets,
When I whisper man-to-man,
Things actually come out better
When there is a Master plan.
I've somewhere heard of tolerance,
A word I'd take apart,
And find a deeper meaning
In recesses of my heart;
Perchance some past steps I'd retrace
Once more to call the roll,
Reviewing past performance
Toward a still far distant goal.
