113th Year, No. 12
ST. JOHNS, MICHIGAN - THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1968
We're
ready
to vote
Clinton County Clerk Ernest
Carter received primary election ballots this week and by Friday was expected to have them in
the hands of township and city
clerks.
Carter received the ballots
Thursday, a few hours after the
deadline dictated by state law.
The situation.in Clinton County
was the same in many other
areas of the state, as 11th hour
legal questions delayed printing
of the complicated ballots.
A total of 8,350 ballots were
printed by the Clinton County
News for 16 townshipsj DeWitt
and St. Johns. The townships all
rely on paper ballots for voting.
Although voting- in the two cities
is on machines, paper absentee
ballots must be provided.
TWO DEVELOPMENTS added
' to complexity of printing ballots.
First was last-minute uncertainty about the ballot listings, A
new state law provided that^incumbent office seekers would be
.^ listed ..first,, with names.of challengers for "the nomination following, in alphabetical order.
After aJLower court decision in
Wayne County, however, the state
Supreme Court ruled that the old
•rotation system9 of listing candidates should be used.
This means that names of
candidates for an office must
appear first on the list an equal
number of times, and that incumbents be included in the rotation.

OPEN FRIDAY UNTIL 9 p.m.
No easy answers for hike
During the first six months of
.1967, Clinton County recorded
only three traffic fatalities. This
year the total, as of last Saturday, stood at 18.
The 18 deaths have occurred
in 15 accidents.
LOCAL LAW officials can only
speculate on reasons for the increased slaughter on arearoads.
Sheriff --Percy J. Patterson says
most cases involve 'carelessness and fast driving." Patterson
also maintains that, on some
roads, accidents often are the
result of' "dust flying with cars
coming at a high r^ate of speed
from both directions."
Sheriff's deputy Fred Corson
volunteers the theory that color
of cars may play a part in the
accident rate. "One accident involved a car which was solid
'colored—gun metal gray. It
blended In with the road. Some
cars which are beige and blend
in with gravel roads have also
been involved in accidents," Corson explains.
Corson's explanation may be
accurate to a point. But ,he is the
first to add that one accident involved two'cars that were bright
red.
Geography also has revealed an
interesting pattern. Of the 15 fatal
crashes, 14 have taken place in
the southern half of the county.
Saturday's fatality on US-27 near
French Road was the first death
posted north of M-21,
\. High fatality rates are nothing
new to Clinton County. Before
US-27 b e c a m e a double-lane
highway, the traffic toll reachetj
into the 30's several years. The
new road, however, has greatly
reduced f a t a l i t i e s in recent'
years. In 1966, 14 died on Clinton

Joseph Cepko needs to spend much time with his bees. Here he spends
a few moments checking the development of'the combs on the racks with
rn each colony. Each colony w i l l be able to produce about 100 pounds of
honey.
More than 3,000,000 bees
inhabit Clinton County
Did you know that more than
3,270,000 bees live in Clinton
County? At least that many live
here because thai is how many
live on the Joseph Cepko farm.
Cepko, a retired Detroit merchant, is a bee keeper and tends
to the bees at his home on' the
edge of St. Johns. He keeps the
bees, fruit trees and a small
vineyard as a hobby and sells his
produce at a road side stand.
He and his family, his wife,
daughter and parents, moved to
St. Johns in 1963, but had owned
the farm since 1940 and had been
keeping some 'bees there since
1941, He says it all started when
a'small swarm landed on the side
of his house. He managed to capture them .and then got 1 himself
the necessary equipment to properly handle them.
Today, Cepko has more than
40 colonies of actively producing
bees and also a few unproducing
swarms on his farm. Each colony
has about' 70 to 85 thousand
bees. This year Is the first time
he has tried to develop his colonies. In the past he says it was
strictly a small hobby. Since he
retired in 1963 he has had more,
spare time and has been building
his collection. Previous to this
year, he usually kept about 20
colonies.

Sometimes he will be able to*
drain off a little at the end of
the season in late August or
early September.
Each bee will produce about
1 1/2 ounces of honey in a life
time which is only about six
weeks. The queen bee,theleader
of the colony, will live much
longer. Sometimes as long as 3
years, but that is only if she
does not produce any honey and
lays few eggs. Cepko says that
his bees will travel as far as six
miles to gather nectar for their
honey-making, but adds that
usually a trip is about one to
three miles long.

REHMANN'S of St Johns
Although 85% of legislation relating to
agriculture originates in Washington, I
feel a State Rep. must render valuable
service to agriculture and I offer the
following program to the farmer in
Michigan which X advocate and support;
ORGANIZATION: Difficult as it is, the
farmer must organize with his brother
farmers for the benefit of all. This is
not a surrender of individual rights
and independence, but a matter of survival .
The Greatest Sales Event
Of The Year
EDUCATION: Additional agriculture education in our school systems should be
encouraged, not only relative to farming directly, but to the 580 farm related employment opportunities. Consumer
education as to the difficulties and
situations facing the farmer is a must.
AG.-RESEARCH: Commercial business carry
on continual research. Agriculture must
do the same in order to promote and
bring forth new and better methods of
producing the same. Increased funds
should be set aside by the State to
assist research of this type.
LEGISLATION: To provide the above should
be promoted by your State-Rep., with
closer contact on-all legislation relative to agriculture, along1with experience and knowledge by the Representative
of that which will benefit the farmer.
I would be opposed to legislation that
will be harmful to agriculture and
would use careful and considerate study
gained from experience and knowledge
obtained only by one who has lived and
worked on a farm.

in best ball tourney
The Ciinton County Country
Club annual best ball Invitational
tournament will be held at the
St. Johns course on July 27.
A total of 38 teams will be
competing for prizes in the 27hole tournament.
Winners will have a choice at
the prize table of merchandise.
The first place team will be
awarded $100 worth of merchandise. A $200 prize wasgivenlast
year, but due to the new ruling
set by the United States Golf
Association allowing an amateur
to take no more than $100 worth
of prizes for .a tournament, the
prize had to be lowered.
The men in the competition
will be some of the best golfers
in the state according to club
manager Robert Hankey. He also
says that the club has hosted the
golfers for the tournament for
more than ten years and it is
known to be one of 'the finest
ball tournaments in the area.
The" entry fee is $30 per team
will entitle the golfers to the
day of play and dinner which will
be served in the eyening.
Last year the tournament was
won by a Jackson team, Phil
Marsten and Andy Andrews. The
pair played a sudden death extra
hole for the championship against
a Lansing duo, John Becker and
Bob Myers. The final winning
score was only 5 strokes off
the tourney record of 97. The
record was set in 1957 by Dave
Hill and Ducky.Andrews of Jackson and tied in 1966 by Ed
Sullivan and Ron Stelter of Saginaw.

D.C. in 1962. It was the first
international children's beauty
and talent pageant ever staged.
Last year the w i n n e r was
chosen by photograph as Michigan did not have a pageant. This
year Mrs Brooke, who is a twirling instructor for M i c h i g a n
School of Baton, has accepted the
role of State Director, therefore
Michigan will hold its first Our
Little Miss Pageant. The winners
will be sent to Dallas to compete
for the' international title.
The Michigan State Pageant
will be held on July 26 and 27 at
the Pantlind Hotel In Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Because there
were nocountypageantsMichigan
will hold an open state pageant
meaning any girl who resides in
the State of Michigan may enter
the pageant. Howeveij entrfes are
accepted with a limited number of
contestants from each county on a
"first come, first serve" basis.
Any girl who is between the ages
of three and twelve is eligible to
compete in this contest. Girls whot
are 3 to 6 will compete for the
title of Michigan Miss La Petite.
They will model sportswear and
party dresses. Girls who are 7 to
12 will compete for the title of
Michigan Our Little Miss.

-,
Stanley Becker, son of Dr and
.Mrs Maurice Becker of 211 Dill
Road, DeWltt, Is spending his
summer in Washington, D. C.
He Is a' Republican and proud of
it. His summer job; United states
House of Representatives Page.
This has been a busy summer
for Stanley. He spent the month
of June in Sodus (Michigan) with
the Michigan Migrant Ministry.
He picked strawberries with a
Negro crew on a 'work-friend"
program. He says the program
is a pioneer rninistry-idea and
almost spent the rest of his summer there.
Stan returned home about June
27, expecting to find directions
from Charles E. Chamberlain
(Michigan Republican R e p r e sentative who gave Stan the appointment), but there were none.
He and his family were under
the impression that he would
start his duties on July 1, but no
word came. Then, like a puff of
smoke, he was gone. Word was
received on July 5 that he had
started work and found It very
interesting.
He will stay at a boarding house
with pages, most of whom are
•Southern Dems". He explained
that six are from Texas and two
s from each Florida and Arkansas, 'Michigan has only two"
he added.
Duties this summer will include running errands for Congressmen to the various office
buildings. The pages use the subways extensively and cover between 10 and 15 miles on foot
per day. There are 21 Republican
pages who will work until the
session is over sometime in August.
During his first week on the
job, he says "was f o r t u n a t e
enough to be in the Senate while
Senator E v e r e t t Dirksen was
having a press conference." He
says it Was "fascinating", so
much so that he a l m o s t was
"brave enough to ask a question",
but then he says he "thought
better of it."
Stanley served as a page in the
Michigan House of Representatives during the 1966-67 term.
For the United States House, he
will serve as a page to only the
Republican representatives. In
the State House he served representatives of both parties.
He says that he made application for the State House position two years before the appointment came about. Stan says
that he waited, then one day there
was a vacancy; he was' interviewed and had the job. Then,
when he finished as a state page,
he applied for the United States
House page position. He was
summoned by Gerald Ford, leader of the minority party and Interviewed by Ford's secretary
before finally securing the position.
Stan is a 1968 honor graduate
of DeWitt High School. He was
active In the high school band
and held offices of his class and
clubs he was in. He plans to go
to the University of Chicago in
Chicago, Hi., and major in social work.

But through it all, the houses of God stand, because regular churchgoers know
that men are inconstant, that they are subject to' numerous temptations and influences. They also know, that God is omnipotent, is omniscient. His care is constant. His creative spirit continually sustains the earth, and His love is always
sensitive to the plight of man.
It is not easy to be a Christian; it never was. Houses of God stand because
there are those who are willing to be channels of God's care—who assume responsibility for church schools, missions, social justice, and-^oh yes—that roof, i

Economist makes projections
on d a i r y farming in Michigan
(The following a r t i c l e was
written by C. R. Hoglund, Michigan State University agricultural
economist.)
By C. R. HOGLUND
MSU Agricultural Economist
All types of farms have been
increasing in size, and have become m o r e specialized and
mechanized In recent years.
Dairy farming has been no
exception. The number of dairy
cows was reduced by 127,000 and
the number of dairymen by 10,000
in Michigan during the past five
years. An additional 20,000 cows
will probably not be replaced on
Michigan farms this year. This
is a large reduction but much
less than for the peak year June,
1965, to June, 1966, whenwelost
40,000 cows.
A large p e r c e n t a g e of the
farmers who quit milking cows
had small, inefficient and generally unprofitable operations.
Most of them had less than 20
cows although some dairymen
with herds of 30 to 50 or more
cows sold out.
MAJOR REASONS why dairymen with the medium sized and
larger herds sold out were difficulties in acquiring adequate labor, sons leaving the farm, more
a t t r a c t i v e alternative enterprises or work opportunities off
the^farm, and advancing age.
By mid-'68,Michiganwillhave
about 18,000 dairy farmers with
490,000 cows or an average of
27 per farm. Milk production per
cow will average nearly 10,000
pounds per cow, the highest on
record, but still too low for good
returns.
Southern Michigan dairymen
enrolled in the Telfarm project
averaged 51 cows, 12,400pounds
of milk sold per cow, and nearly
5130,000 in total investments in
1967. Considered b e t t e r than
l average managers, they earned
an average of $7,262 for their
labor and management.
Labor incomes for 1962-65,
averaged $3,030 for southern
Michigan T e l f a r m users, but
* only $1,730 for the same dairymen in the northern areas. The
southern dairymen averaged 11
more cows and $53 higher dairy
products sale per cow than their
northern cohorts. Labor income
for'well-adjusted dairymen was
iavorable during both 1966 and
1967 and is expected to be at
least as high for 1968. This more
realistic income is due largely
to improved prices for milk and
higher utilization as Class I
milk. Increased size and efficiency in operation have also
c o n t r i b u t e d to i n c r e a s e d
earnings,
WERE IT NOT for off-farm
sources of income, dairy1 farming would undoubtedly change
even more rapidly. The 1964
Census shows that for some
major dairy counties in southern
Michigan, non-farm income of
$4,491 was more than half of
the gross from farming of $8,753
per farm. Thus, total gross Income averaged $13,234 compared to only $9,303 for northern
Michigan dairymen.
Despite the drastic changes in
Michigan dairy farming, average
herd size and milk sales per
farm are still low. The Michigan
Milk P r o d u c e r s Association,
which handles more than 50 per
cent of the milk produced in
Michigan, received less than 500
pounds daily from 24 per cent of
its members in 1967, Forty-two
per cent.delivered between 500
and 999 pounds per day while
34 per cent of the members
delivered 1,000 or more pounds
of milk dally, supplying 58 per
cent of the total milk sold by
MMPA members during 1967.
The p r o d u c e r members are
probably above average and size,
but only the lattergroup of dairymen are attaining a d e q u a t e
v o l u m e s and profitable dairy
farm operations.
per cent of those with 75 or more
cows had labor incomes of $7,000
or more for 1966,
Gross income per man ranged
from $18, 169 for those with
50-74 cows to nearly $22,000 for
those with 75 or more cows. Of
the dairymen with 30-49 cows,
only 42 per cent had labor incomes that high. Only,the dairymen with 100 or more cows averaged 400,000 pounds milk per
man.
Dairymen who sell no more
than 10,000 pounds milk per cow
will earn less than $1 an hour
for their labor. The break-even
point in costs and returns with
labor charged at $1.50 is at
about the 11,000 pound average.
A goal of 13,000 pounds or more
of 3,5 per cent milk sold per
cow is both attainable and profitable.
A STUDY OF 182 better-thanaverage dairymen indicates that
by 1970, a majority of them would
have 50 or more cows. Of the
46 dairymen with less than 30
cows in 1960, only 14 remained
by 1960 and only six are expected
to have this few cows by 1970.
When a dairyman decides to
Garland News
By Mrs Archie Moore
Phone 834-2383
get out of the one-man family
operation, there Is no economical
stopping place until he reaches
80 to 100 or more cows. If they
make substantial changes, a high
percentage of these dairymen will
likely Invest in completely new
housing and milking systems.
These investments will be utilized much more efficiently when
herd size Is 100 or more cows.
Investments In a new milking
and housing system isabout$500
per cow for a 60-cow unit and
$380 per cow for 130 cows.
Ideally, dairymen should, recover new investments in 5 years
or no more than 8 to 10 years.
Expansion of the dairy herd
will not pay off unless dairymen
attain high crop yields, low feed
costs, milk s a l e s of 13,000
pounds or more, a volume large
enough to spread overhead costs
sufficiently and pay labor high
wages. Milk prices can not be
expected to be high enough to
cover costs of inefficient producers. Only thos'e dairymen with
the managerial ability to adjust
quickly to changing technology
and cost-price relationships will
compete in tomorrow's dairy
farming.

ALTHOUGH adequate volume
does not assure high net returns,
it is an essential ingredient for
success. How many cows or how
much volume will -be required
for profitable dairying in the
future? Each present or potential dairyman must decide for
himself and family the income
needs for family living, education, travel, savings and other
allocations.
It has often been suggested
that a minimum goal of 400,000
pounds milk, or $20,000 gross
per man, is needed for profitable dairy farming. The 1966
Telfarm record project indicates
that the chances of earning a
minimum of $7,000 for labor and
management per operator are
low for farms with less than 50
cows. Sixty per cent of the dairymen with 50 to 74 cows and 64

It seems the Chinese were the
first to adopt smoke cooking as
productive of some of the finest
meats one ever had. The Chinese utilize tall ovens of stone
with a wood fire at the base.
Food is hung down from the top
to cook slowly in the smoke
from the fire.
i
American Indians also were
excellent "smoke" cooks especially in the preparation of fish.
My family provided me with an
all-aluminum smoker last fall
and I've had some great adventures with this method of food
preparation.
One of the best is to prepare
a semi-boneless ham by this
method. These generally run in
the 6 to 8-pound category and

The Stuart Godfreys
Whatever happened to . . .
What ever happendtotheStuart
Godfreys, former residents of St.
Johns who left the area more than
IS years ago?
The Godfreys a r e living in
Richmond Beach, Wash,, according to the Leonard Tlllotsons of
Elsie, who just returned from a
vacation in the PacificNorthwest
and visited the former area family. Richmond Beach i s located
on Puget Sound near Seattle.
THE GODFREYS have had an
interesting life since leaving St.
Johns. They currently are operating Godfrey's Radio and Fix-it
Shop. They opened the shop two
years ago, shortly after moving
from Winter Haven, Fla.
Locating in Washington was no
accident, since Godfrey was born
in Seattle.
Godfrey, now 56, contracted
polio in 1942 while working a s
plant- policeman at the Dow Chemical plant in Midland and has been
confined to a wheel chair. During
World War JT he and his wife
Marion operated a small radio
repair business in St. Johns.
After eight years, the family
moved to Winter Haven where
they established a similar shop
for 13 years before moving to
Washington.
They have three sons. Oldest
i s Tom, due backsoonfromSaudi
Arabia where he h a s worked
two years as an electronics technician. .Dan is a student at the
University of Michigan and Joe
attends sixth grade at Richmond
Beach Elementary School.
ACCORDING to tlie Tillotsons,
the fix-it shop is located in one of
the older buildings in Richmond
Beach. The building once was a
hotel,' then a grocery store. In
addition to providing room for the
fix-it business, the old building
also i s the Godfrey residence.
The Tlllotsons say it offers a
' s p e c t a c u l a r v i e w " ofPuget
Sound.
In addition to repairing everything from a n t i q u e clocks to
radios, the Godfreys also have
launched an antique collection.

It calls for impoundment of a
vehicle for from 30 to 120 days

THE BILL,, introduced at the

If the car i s not paid for but

the person liable for payments
must still make them.
There i s legal precedent in
Michigan for seizure of autos or
other property in law violations.
Federal agents, during the days
of prohibition, automatically confiscated and sold cars in which
bootleggers transported contraband l i q u o r . Conservation authorities seize guns from hunters
found to have illegal game.
Hare strongly supported the
concept of impoundment when the
n e w l y - p a s s e d law was introduced.
He said it would help curb
many of the state's hard-core
traffic offenders. Hare estimated
there were about 30,000 of these
"absolute incorrigibles" in Michigan. With each of these persons
costing the state about $1,000
on the average . . . for court
costs, personal service for summons, or to pick up plates, driver
improvement techniques, p o s sible jail sentences . . . H a r e e s timated that Michigan might save
a substantial amount of the est i m a t e d $30-million these "incorrigibles" cost.
Broken down, it costs each
driver in Michigan about $6 a year
to pay for the hard-core chronic
offenders.

• As of Tuesday, July 9, the pace
of the brining program has been
stepped up considerably. Prior
to this date, we were brining
between 16 and 20 miles of road
daily. Had the weather cooperated, this rate would have been
satisfactory.
But we have lost in excess of
three weeks time on the road
brining because of bad weather.
If everything goes well, we should
cover between 55 and 60 miles
per day until all roads are finished. As soon as the first application is completed, we will start
immediately to apply the second
coat of chloride.
If you live on a road that has
not been brined in recent y e a r s ,
you may feel that the application
i s not too effective. Those of us
who have had the roads treated
by our homes in years past know
from experience that there is a
certain amount of carryover from
year to year and that the chloride
seems to be more effective with
each succeeding year. It holds
the fine particles in place and this
in turn binds the larger stones to
the surface. This saves gravel
and generally cuts down on the
need for grading.

GRAINS
A w i n t e r wheat c r o p of
35,802,000 bushels is now forecast for Michigan, 11 per cent
less than produced last year.
A decline of 18 per cent in
acreage for harvest more than
offset an increase In yield per
acre. The f i r s t grain corn production forecast of 87,318,000
bushels is 5 per cent below 1967
production. A smaller acreage
for harvest more than offsets
a higher yield per acre. An oat
crop of 29,328,000 bushels is
forecast, 20 per cent larger than
last year's crop. A 22 per cent
increase in acreage for harvest
more than offsets an expected
lower yield per acre.
DRY BEANS
Heavy rains during the last
week of June caused considerable
damage to dry beans and also
prevented or delayed planting of
some of the intended acreage.
Low lying fields and low spots
in other fields were flooded and
fields not flooded were hurt by
excessive moisture. Some beans
were replanted by the end of
June. Fields replanted in July
may not mature before a killing
frost. About 7 per cent of the
intended acreage was reported
still to be planted by the end of
June. The first forecast of acreage for harvest is 624,000 acres,
24 per cent more than the small
acreage harvested in 1967. The
first p r o d u c t i o n forecast of
6,864,000 hundred weight Is 28
per cent above the small 19G7
production.
SUGAR BEETS
Michigan farmers planted 90
thousand acres of sugar beets
this year, 13 per cent more than
last year. The production forecast of 1,376,000 tons is 10 per

However, a deluge of rain with

winds and hail caused considerable damage to growing crops in
southern Michigan during the last
half of June. Extensive hail damage occurred in the "thumb" area.
Creeks and rivers overflowed

Compared with June 1967 the

During the month ended June

*Keep Your Guard Up — Stop
Accidents" is theme for National
Farm Safety Week, July 21 to 27.
But George McQueen, Clinton
County extension agricultural
agent, believes farmers must
make every week farm s a f e t y
week.
•There is no question about it,
f a r m i n g is a dangerous business," said McQueen."Evenwlth
every precaution, the multitude
of dangers exists because of
m a c h i n e r y , implements,livestock and other things around
the farm that can malm or even
kill."
He offered these suggestions
to prevent tractor accidents:
— Slow down when turning,
near ditches, working on slopesjr
on rough or muddy ground. Operate implements and machines at
recommended speeds, but cut
speeds for bad conditions. y
. — Axles are not drawbars „~
Wrapping a chain or cable around
one for a hard pull can result in
backward tip. Hitch only to drawbar set 13 to 17 inches above
ground (but the lower the better.)
— Farm tractorfollies:Working too c l o s e to l a r g e open
ditches; horse play; tying blocks
on wheels then trying to move
forward out of mud; attempting
man-sized jobs with boy-sized
tractors; hot-rodding.
— Engage power smoothly.
Avoid abrupt turns, jerky starts

Good grass is a benefit. Good dairymen take advantage of every acre of pasture they have. Cows love
grass and it stimulates milk flow.
Yet, good dairymen know that grass is 85% water."
As summer advances it turns brown, losses its palatability and is even less nutritious.
Tests at the Purina Dairy Center proved that cows
fed a grain supplement with grass produced up to
20% more milk. They kept up in body condition,
too, and held up better in production in following
lactations.

There is no future in a policy of law
enforcement which allows^a mob or awellorganized group of any kind to do what
would be patently a crime if it were undertaken by an individual.
In' the meantime, new laws will not
solve the problem. As an example, the most
(restrictive gun legislation in the world may
disarm the law-abiding citizen, but it will
never stop the criminal or the deranged
• person from firing an'assassin's bullet. The
future of the United States iies in upholding
the freedom and security of the law-abiding
individual and implementing the will of the
people to enforce decent standards of behavior upon those few who have no standards
of their own.

About the future
of this nation
Laws are really only necessary for
the small minority who _don't have the
d e s i r e , judgment, or responsibility to make
such standards part of their own behavior.
Such people- must be controlled. For example, it is beyond understanding why a
"great center of learning, such as Columbia
University in New York City, and the nearly
18,000 students ,attending it, should have
been left at the mercy of a program of
t e r r o r , false imprisonment, criminal t r e s pass, and extortion as instituted by a couple
of hundred hard-core members of a militant
left-wing student organization.
H
'IF IT FITZ . . .'
Clinton Coanfy News
. It is utter nonsense to supinely accept
the judgment frequently v o i c e d by both
foreign and domestic critics that violence
in the United States is the symptom of a
critical and perhaps fatal breakdown in the
moral fiber of our people who are now
senselessly engaged in dismantling the
legal, economic and social structure of our
society. It is especially ludicrous when violence and lawlessness in the U.S. is looked
upon with shock in countries such as France,
very nearly embroiled in a civil war of her
own; Germany, with an unparalleled record
of brutality; Russia, with one of the most
barbaric backgrounds in world history, or
other communist countries whose governments are founded on the concept and daily
practice of oppression and brutal disregard
for the value of human life.
Violence of the type that could one day
precipitate World War III exists in China,
in Cuba, and in the Middle Eastern countries
from whence came the twisted mind and the
hatred that felled Senator Kennedy. But, the
fact that there are few countries in the
world with a national record justifying their
throwing rocks at the United States does
not excuse in any way what is happening here
or explain it. Far from being too violent,
-it may be that the people of the U.S. are
not violent enough.
This country has gone further along the
way of advancing the cause of individual
• freedom and opportunity than any other nation in history. This has been our national
purpose and the reason why millions of the
world's oppressed came to our shores. P e r haps the American people have leaned too
"HEar_ over backwards to avoid any semblance
;6f violent oppression of the individual's
"freedom. Perhaps this is why leaders in
education -and government and the courts
have, by their collective action, fashioned
the new "policy of permissiveness" that
encourages individual, as well as mob,
license and undermines the rule of law—the
basis of liberty itself.
It seems to many that what we are
experiencing in the United States is not a
.sickness of our society, but rather what
will prove to be in the perspective of
history, a relatively short period of confusion concerning the proper application of
,legal and economic principles vital to the
life and development of a free society.
Certainly, the vast majority of Americans
support our institutions which have more
successfully than any others in the world
secured human freedom within aframework
of order and material abundance. Most
people voluntarily live according to s t a n dards of behavior that do not outrage the
rights, property, and lives of those around
them.

A swan
song . . .
Tom was the first of us to marry. He
was also the first to go to jail for more
than overnight—non-payment of alimony
—and he was the first to die, in an
auto wreck. If he wens still alive today,
Tom would probably still be somewhat
ofa bum. And I would still like him.
Which, I guess, Is what this column
is all about. . .
Old buddy Jerry phoned because he'd
hit trouble driving through my town. He'd
been in a minor collision, no injuries
and not much damage to the cars. But the
police claimed he was drunk. Jerry's
call toine was * the one call allowed," just
like in the movies. He was at the State
Police post where he refused to take the
breathalyzer test. He was going to jail
and what could I do about it7
I hadn't seen Jerry twice in the last
15 years. I hadn't heard one word about
him in at least five years.
A phone rang from out of the past,
reminding me I haven't always been
married, it Just seems that way.
The same call reminded my wife she
didn't actually marry me so much as she
saved me. She didn't wear a wedding
veil, she wore a Salvation Army cape.
Her dream, from the day we met, was to
move with me intoavinecoveredRescue
Mission we could call our own.
The phone call was from Jerry Smith
(name changed to protect the guilty and
avoid a lawsuit). He was two classes
behind me at St. Stephen High in Port
Huron many years ago. After World
War II, he was two drinks ahead of me
at the Alibi Bar.
Jerry and I were members of aloosely
knit group of. veterans generally called,
for lack of a more apt title, the Town
Bums. Membership was varied and transient, numbering anywhere from ten on
bleary Sunday mornings ("I've got the
blahs") to 25 on jumping Saturday nights
when nobody could get a date.
Many of us attended Junior college,
If classes could be arranged so as not to
interfere with the cocktail hour ( 3 p.m.
to last call). Some of us looked for jobs,
("I've been sitting on this stool all day
and not one job has walked by"). All of
us lived on public funds—unemployment
pay, GI bill, insurance rebate or mustering out pay. There were even a couple
of amputees who bought more drinks
than the other heroes, because they got
bigger checks every month.
Which reminds me of my special
buddy, Tom. He left most of his index
finger on Iwo Jima. Tom used to stick
his finger stump up his nose, or in his .
ear, and startle the devil out of innocent
passersby.
•I think'he's a builder," I told my
wife. "I think he has settled down with
a wife and three kids, just like me. I
think he is a responsible citizen and he
has just had a bad break—the type of
thing that might happen to any social
drinker who bumps against a cop with a
sensitive nose."
"You think," said my wife, "but you
don't know. He might be Public Enemy
Number 1. He might bethebiggestsouse
in Port Huron. This might be his 25th
arrest this year. Are you going to run
around trying to get some bum out of
jail?"
• •He's my friend,"lexplalned,llstening hard for the sound of bugles and
drums. I felt like Pat O'Brien forgiving
Jimmy Cagney for crippling Pat's grandmother. "Besides I know Jerry's not
Port Huron's top souse, Don is. You
remember Don, he stopped to use our
lohn last year and fell in the bathtub."
So anyway, folks, I saw the sheriff
and I saw the Justice of peace. I lent
Jerry bond money and offered him the
use of my razor. It turned out I was
right, he is a steady worker with a fine
family and this was the first brush with
the law, ever. I shall leave it to a higher
court to decide if he was a drunk driver
that one night. Certainly he was a contrite, grateful man the next morning and
I was glad to help him a little. If I ever
stub my toe in Port Huron I'll know who
to phone after my mother hangs up on me.
I bid Jerry farewell ("Just show me
those lousy city limits") on a Saturday
morning. That afternoon my wife and I
attended an international Girl ' Scout
fiesta at a huge field house in Flint.
Our middle daughter, klomping in wooden
shoes, was somewhere among those
thousands of squealing girls and leading
leaders. As we searched for her, I
made a sudden observation.
"You know," I told my wife, "I'm
the only man in this place, I must be
losing my mind."
"It's better than hanging around the
Alibi Bar with Jerry and the boys all
Saturday afternoon like you used to do,
isn't it," she asked, and I could almost
hear her tambourine rattle, ye are saved,
brother.
That made me think, really think,
about how marriage has enriched my
life and changed my Saturdays. I could
not give her a dishonest answer.
"No," I answered.
Onward and upward.
RAMBLIN' WITH RINK
LETTERS
By JOHN STAFFORD
This is my swan song as editor of The Clinton County News.
Regular editor Lowell Rinker
has returned from a three-week
expedition to California and back.
Next week I'll be at the helm
of The Gratiot County Herald In
I t h a c a while associate editor
Tom DeWitt spends what I'm
sure will be a pleasurable two
weeks with the National Guard
at Camp Grayling. Then it will
be on to Greenville to assist
/The Greenville Daily Nqws, in
several projects.
While in St. Johns several
people have asked me where I'm
from, what I do and where I do
it. If you don't think that's a
tough question. . .
I'm originally from Greenville. I presently live in Ithaca.
But come November I'll be living In Greenville.
I am an editor, co-publisher,
apprentice job printing trainee,
darkroom technician, p i c k-up
and delivery boy, photographer,
reporter, b u s i n e s s consultant
and horticulturist. (I threw in the
last category since It does involve my business. Once a month
I water the large plant located in
the corner of my office at Ithaca).
My time is spent at Ithaca,
Greenville, St. Johns, East Lansing and occasionally Rockford.
The phrase "few things in life
are sure" must have been coined
for my schedule. I'm never sure
Just what I'm going to be doing
and where I will be doing it.
I lead a busy, disorganized
life. It has advantages and disadvantages. In the first instance,
I'm never at one place long
enough to take the blame for
mistakes. By the time they're
discovered, I've moved on.Ialso
meet a whole lot of nice people.
About the only disadvantage is
the traveling. I'll stack up the
miles I've driven the past year
with any member of the Teamsters Union.
But no matter where I'm going
or what I'm going to be doing,
I know that eacii day will conclude on the same note. I head
up the driveway at 5:30 or 6,
walk into the house and after
a b s o r b i n g a few well aimed
punches from two boys 5 and 3,
stand "ready for their* question,
"Dad, what are we going to do
tonight?"
I'm also entertainment chairman at 328 West St, Charles Road
Ithaca. And this is my most
important assignment each day.
Stepping into a somewhat unfamiliar community and attempting to fill three weeks of papers
wit!' local news is a somewhat
difficult assignment. Somehow,"
we managed. But not without a
lot or help from a lot of people.
So, as I leave, I would like to
thank members of the Clinton
County News staff who did their
best to make things function
smoothly. I also am appreciative
to the city police, Sheriff Percy
Patterson and his girl Friday,
Millie, Lloyd Campbell of the
Soil C o n s e r v a t i o n Service,
George McQueen of the Extension
Service, Clerk Ernest Carter,
Judge Leo Corkin and his staff.
If I've missed anybody, it is
unintentional.
If you have any objections to
editorial policies or stories that
appeared in the paper during the
past three weeks. . .well, write
me at Ithaca!
Let them grow
tall as they will
Out of every piece of misfortune comes good experience.
Children around St. Johns this
summer are finding they don't
have the organized activity they
have usually had in past sum;
mers. This is because of the
'austerity budget of the city
which the voting adulthood of
the community decided on three
times at the polls in the last
year and a half.
So there are lots of kids running around with little organization.
This could be beneficial for
them if they have the proper
ideas of good taste, common
sense, decency and good manners instilled in them by their
parents.
At last they will have time
to be on their own, to explore
and learn at their own speed
without being pushed along by
adults. If adults could, adults
would probably have everything
"organized."
ORGANIZATION IS one of the
big factors in modern living
these days. There is an organization for justabout everything
you want to do, want to see or
want to hear. Adults become so
involved in their organizations,
they soon believe their children's every move should be
likewise organized. I disagree.
An article, "Speaking Out,"
in the Sept. 29, 1962, issue of
A look into the past.
the Saturday Evening Post contained some thoughts which
came close to mine, although
they're a bit more barbed. It
was entitled "We're Cheating
Our Children" and was written
by Betty'Fa'ncher. She claimed
the "pafent-sponsbred retrace
has warped the meaning of
childhood."
A few quotes from the article
will give the gist of it:
"AMERICANS DO love their
children! But childhood? There
seems to be a vast movement
against it. The bitterest epithet
in our society is 'immature.'
It was recently bestowed on
my nephew who, as he put it,
"goofed a test." This was in
his first quarter in kindergarten . . .
"The busiest of us (meaning
adults) had time to chase butterflies or catch lightning bugs,
to climb trees or just He in a
clover field watching a cloudblown sky . . .
"This mania for scheduling
every minute of every day for
our children is madness. Not
only are we robbing our children of the precious .gift of
childhood, we are denying them
the freedom they need to be
themselves, to f u l f i l l their
creative impulses and develop
their own inner resources . . .
•The one real advantage we
can give them is a climate of

love, understanding and guidance in which to grow—and the
time and freedom to grow as
tall as they will."
I'll buy that. Organization of
our y o u n g s t e r s in Little
Leagues and Scouting and 4-H
and . . . They are all fine, if
the youngster has enough time
to himself to do his own thinking
his own investigating and to do
the things he wants to and not
always the things adults want
them to do.
The danger, as Mrs Fancher
pointed out, is In organizing our"
youngsters' time to the extent
they aren't thinking for themselves about what they're going
to do next.
Today's y o u n g s t e r s are
brighter than ever; of that I'm
convinced. If they have been
raised with the proper set of
values instilled in them by parents, then parents should give
them some freedom and spare
time "on their own "to grow as
tall as they will."
Although 90 per cent of all
automobiles stolen in the United
States are recovered, according
to the I n s u r a n c e Information
Institute, about 30 per cent of
the recovered cars have been
damaged or stripped of p a r t s many to the extent that they
represent total losses.

Dear Editor:

of that shooting group, I would
like if to'say a hearty1 "amen" to .
the ^answer 'given by Mr'Ric'hard **
A. Parsons of Fowler to your
so-called columnist "FITZ" concerning gun legislation.
Your Mr Fitzgerald apparently
knows little about guns, gunsafety clubs, or the very highclass group of people who belong
to the skeet and trap shooting
clubs in America. He has merely
jumped on the bandwagon of a
group of hysterical people, most
of whom are politicians. This is
an election year and while it
may get a few votes from illinformed people, !no 'gun bill"
that I have read comes anywhere
near solving the crime-on-thestreets problem.
I am not a member,of the
National Rifle Association, but I >
do support Mr Harold Glassen,
president of NRA (and a personal
friend of mine) in the work he and
his group are doing to point out
the facts of life to our congressmen and representatives.
As a newspaper publisher and

Will pollution
be way of life?
"Within 10 years we'll have to
adopt new waste water treatment
methods or else accept pollution
as a way of life," warns DrNiles
Kevern, assistant director of the
Institute of Water Research at
Michigan State University.
"The routine sewage treatment, -common to most large
communities, only partially corrects our pollution p r o b l e m , "
says Kevern, "and the many small
communities which havenowaste
treatment at all make the problem
disgraceful."
DeWitt
By Virginia Ackerman
"Southern Michigan lakes are
particularly over-fertilized, and
we see the effects at this time
of year,* asserts Kevern.
"Algae • and waterweeds grow
profusely with fertilization by
septic tank drainage and imcomplete sewage treatment. Water
intake pipes get clogged, the
w e e d s decay and smell, and
swimming and fishing are hampered."
SEPTIC TANK l e a k a g e and
other Incomplete human waste
treatment methods also benefit
disease-carrying bacteria. This
contaminates the water for drinking or swimming.
"The ideal way to alleviate
these problems is to develop a
method which doesn't use our
w a t e r w a y s to d i s s e m i n a t e
wastes," the MSU p r o f e s s o r
points out.
*On a more practical vein,"
adds Kevern, "there are methods
available at some cost to remove
NUTRIENT e l e m e n t s slip
through the primary and secondary treatments which many of
our towns and cities now use.
Primary treatment settles out
the solid material, and secondary
treatment breaks down organic
matter. Most of the dissolved
materials such as phosphorous
and nitrogen compounds escape
removal and end up "over-fertilizing" our waterways.
