St. Johns tornado siren test this Friday
TORNADO:
TORNADO WARNING HORNS SOUNDED FOR
PERIOD OF THREE MINUTES
ALL CLEAR SIGNAL:
A series of three
a e r i a l bombs
St. Johns' five tornado sirens will be sounded
at 12:05 p.m. this Friday,in the first scheduled
test of the horns in recent years.
The sirens •will emit a wavering tone for three
minutes, after which an "all clear" will he sounded
by firing off three aerial bombs. The entire test
will take no more than about seven minutes.
The test is being planned to give St. Johns
residents an idea of what the tornado sirens sound
like. They haven't been sounded since April 21,
1967, when they roared to life to warn of tornadoes
approaching from the Fowler direction.
The sirens will be sounded for real only in the
case of a tornado WARNING, meaning a tornado
has been sighted headed in the direction of St.
Johns. The sirens will not be sounded during a
tornado WATCH, which means only that atmospheric conditions are such that a tornado or two
could form.
IN THE" TEST SITUATION Friday, residents
should remind themselves of the steps they would
take If the tornado sirens sound for real. The St.
Johns civil defense committee suggests these
safety precautions:
1) Seek an inside shelter away from windows.
This would preferably be in the southwest corner
of your basement or your neighbor's basement. _
Doors and windows on the north and east sides of
the house may be opened to help reduce pressure
damage to the building.
2) Keep tuned to your television or radio
station for latest tornado advisory information,
3) Keep calmt It will not help to get excited.
4) Do NOT call the weather bureau except to
report a tornado.
The civil defense committee advised residents
to keep a small poster being distributed this week

Arnold Stevens of 6100 S. DeWitt Road isn't too excited about
his father doing such heavy work,
but the elder man doesn't seem
to mind.
"I've always worked at hard,
heavy work," Stevens said. "I've,
had all diseases and quite a lot

Pool fund
drive tops
$13,500
St. Johns High School youths
earned $848 at a weekend car
wash to send the Clinton County
Memorial Swimming Pool Fund
soaring over the top of Its $12,
500 goal.
. : _. .
As of Tuesday morning, a total
of $13,500 in cash was on hand
at the bank, assuring the opening
of the pool this summer. The
Lansing YMCA is already working on their swimming program,
which will open either June 7
or June 15.
Dr Herbert Oatley, chairman
of the Clinton County Memorial
S w i m m i n g Pool Fund Committee that's been conducting the
fund-raising drive, expects afew
more donations to be received.
But the soliciting of funds is
over.
Equipment to bring the pool up
to pre-opening standards of the
YMCA was ordered over a week
ago, and now the opening of the
pool at the city park awaits only
the arrival and installation of
the equipment.
"IF EVERYTHING goes OK we
should be able to open up on
schedule," Dr Oatley said.
The committee's emphasis this
week has been on the success of
the car wash Saturday andSunday
at Randolph's on South US-27.
The high school student council,
under the leadership ofPresident
Jeff White, organized the car
wash on their own and had more
than enough students on hand to
take c a r e of the cars t h a t
swarmed in. At $2 a car, the
students earned $848.
That put the drive well over
the top.
"We're real "happy," Dr Oatley
said on behalf of the committee.
"People have been tremendous,
and we're sure the kids of the
community will join us in saying thanks to everybody who had
a hand in this drive.
MEANWHILE, contributions to
the fund drive continue to come
in at the Clinton National Bank.
Here are the names of donors
BERNARD NELLER
Neller new
Lions Club

in the basement corner where shelter would most
likely be sought. The poster contains information
concerning the sirens and what to do in case they
sound at some time other than in a test.
St. Johns has five sirens. One is located atop
the Clinton County Courthouse, and the others are
at Sealed Power, Federal-Mogul, Hettler Motor
Sales and Clinton Memorial Hospital.
The tornado sirens are not the same as those
used for fires and they have a-considerably different sound. The fire whistle on top of the
municipal building is sounded for three minutes
in a wavering pattern for city fires and for three
minutes in one long blast for country fires. It
is also tested every noon.
The tornado siren will be tested at noon on the
first Saturdays of January, April, July and October
after the initial test this Friday noon.

Beaufore and Supervisor Derrilli
The final hearing of determination on the allocations has been
scheduled for 10 a.m. next Tuesday, May 28.
T h e preliminary allocation
proved to be disturbing to the
schools of the county. Earl Lancaster, superintendent of the St.
Johns Public Schools, pointed out
that at least three districts —
F o w l e r , St. Johns and OvidElsie, — now have no extravoted millage, and if school millage elections In those districts
in June fail the schools won't
have enough millage to qualify
for any state school aid.
"TO POSSIBLY deprive 60-70
per cent of the kids in the county
of an education because of this
falling below the deadline is a
ridiculous manipulation by a socalled responsible board," Lancaster charged.
Shinabery, pointed out the county,
too, has money problems and is
faced with higher costs of normal
operation as well as implementation of new supervisor districts
and a district court set-up,'
THE COUNTY BUDGET has
not been up-to-date, and they
asked for a higher allocation than
last year in order to meet the
needs upcoming in 1969. Their
request to the allocation board
was for 6.113 mills.
A l l o c a t i o n board Chairman
Bates expressed some concern
Monday night about theproblems
of bickering that arose at last
year's final hearing on the allocation. He referred to the state
statute that permits only duly
authorized agents of the various
parties involved to speak at the
meeting.

"Positive approach " to city problems urged
Nearly 70 persons gathered in
the municipal building Monday
evening for an informal discussion concerning a positive
approach of the citizenry in meeting St. J o h n s ' governmental
crises.
Alan R. Dean, hardware dealer
and former member of the TriCounty Regional Planning Commission from St. Johns, called
the meeting and urged citizen
interest In a formal group to
start St. Johns back on the road
to recovery.
Dean appealed for more support for the city commission.
"It's ridiculous when we elect
people, both for the city and
school governments, to do something and then tie their hands,"
he said.
"We can't tie their hands. We
have to give them a chance to do
what they feel is a responsible.
job.»
Dean said it was recognized
that the last two administrators
were controversial, "but not to
the point that the city government should be crippled just to
make them leave. Other people
believed them to be good administrators." He said the urban
renewal people, with whom the
city had contacts in the last
couple of years, regarded St. of the group should be to find

newspaper coverage of city accomplishments was not provided

ANOTHER PROBLEM brought
up was public confusion about

The group decided to invite
city commissioners to f u t u r e
meetings, not as the commission
but as Interested citizens. Dean
was authorized to call the next
two or three meetings until a
formal organization Is set up.
Dean commented that it was
his hope that all ideas of the

in the group so that a positive
approach to "getting the city

could support reasonable taxation

He urged everyone to be rea-•

months.

How Much
Your Monej
Uncle Sam Inherit?
He will undoubtedly be one of yourheirs.
But your attorney and the Trust Department at Clinton National Bank & Trust
Co. can help you realize m a x i m u m benefits to the heirs you prefer at a m i n i m u m
cost in taxes. Many people make the mistake of t h i n k i n g what they own now is the
estate they will leave t o others. They overlook the fact-that expenses, taxes and other estate costs reduce the value of every
estate. This shrinkage, however, can be
greatly reduced.
You may wish to set up a trust.
A carefully planned Trust can mean a
savings of taxes — both federal and state,
and can avoid unnecessary probate costs.
W i t h a Living Trust you can appoint a
trustee how to manage and invest y'our
estate While you live, and continue to do
so for your family when you die. Why? To
avoid undesirable publicity, settlement delays, probate fees and court procedures!
Also, this will give you freedom to devote
your full time to business or other activities
while yourjnvestments are receiving expert
financial management.
It will provide you with regular income
during your lifetime, and uninterrupted i n come for your heirs after you are gone.
The Importance of a Will
Through the years, we have seen numerous families benefit by W i l l s — welldrawn and kept up-to-date. Also, we have
seen families suffer undue hardships when
there is no W i l l . Don't let your f a m i l y be
one of the latter.
If you have no W i l l , state laws say just
how your property shall be distributed. State laws of descent and distribution (as
they are called) are made t o f i t the "avera g e " case. But it is probable that neither
your estate nor your f a m i l y is "average".
Who needs a Will?
M a n y t h i n k W i l l s are intended for the
disposition of .large estates. Nothing could
be further from the fact. It is in the small
and medium sized estate t h a t the value of
a carefully prepared W i l l is most readily
appreciated. In these estates, the money
available to the estate owner to provide
for his beneficiaries must be spread as
widely as possible. In many cases, only by
a carefully drawn W i l l can the objectives
of an estate owner be met. Whether your
estate is large or small — i t is almost cert a i n t h a t you need a W i l l .
Advantages of a bank vs. an
individual as your executor
or trustee.
A n individual may be ill or unable to act.
He may move away, go on trips or vacations, be too tied up with his own affairs
to spend much time with yours, be involved
in embarrassing personal relationships, or
he may die before your estate is settled.
On the other hand, a Bank won't go on
vacations, become ill or pass away. A bank
has experience with all forms of t a x a t i o n —
income, estate, inheritance g i f t , property,
etc., has trained men in charge of handling
these important, details, is impartial and
unbiased.
Fees for trustees and executors are the
same for banks as they are for individuals.
They are u n i f o r m , and vary according to
the size of the estate. In any case, they
are set by law, and approved by the probate court before payment. It won't cost
you a dime more to have Clinton National
do a thorough, workmanlike job of handling your estate.

Revised dues schedule topic at
Chamber of Commerce meeting
A revised dues schedule was
the topic of conversation, but no
decisions w e r e reached in a
meeting last Wednesday noon at
the L & L relative to a reorganized St. Johns Chamber of
Commerce.
A special dues study committee
headed by Bill Patton reported on
a proposed dues schedule of 10
classifications. There was considerable discussion but nodeciyears. She has won the Betty
Crocker Homemakers Award,
attended the state FHA convention and has won numerous Shorthand awards.
slons, and the topic was to be
brought up again yesterday (May
22) at another meeting. Businesses within each of the classifications were to get together
and make recommendations concerning what they thought dues
should be.
The dues committee is striving
for a schedule t h a t will raise
about $10,000 annually to carry
on a relatively s t a t u s quo
Chamber program this coming
year. Other members of the committee besides Patton were Larry
Sexton, Bill R i c h a r d s , Bill
Chalmers and Ray Parr.
Another committee was to be
appointed to work up a list of
Chamber projects to use as a
selling polntin seeking new members of the group. Presently there
are 95 members in the Chamber
of Commerce, representing all
phases of business, industry and
the professions in St. Johns.
The announced aim of the reorganization of the Chamber is to
promote the St. Johns community
as a whole.

tree vital
to state
Many of Michigan's young and
vigorous trees have potential for
yielding v a l u a b l e h a r d w o o d
lumber at a time when demand
for this w o o d has never been
greater, says Lester E. Bell
of the Michigan State University
forestry department.
But, to be valuable, they need
special attention and the application of new technology today,
"Timber growing is no longer
a ' o n c e - i n - a - l i f e t i m e ' crop,"
Bell reports. " F e r t i l i z e r s ,
chemical weed control, and good
timber stand improvement p r a c tices offer the p o t e n t i a l for
doubling or even t r i p l i n g p r e vious grouth rates of trees,"
Veneer-quality black walnut
logs can now be produced in 40
to 60 years and other species in
even less time. Further advances
in tree genetics should shorten
this period more, says Bell.

eight-inch sancfiift and a six-inch
cover of compacted c r u s h e d
gravel applied. The road will be
allowed to stand over the winter
to allow for further compaction,
and the seal coats will be applied
next summer.
The construction of the mile
of Airport Road between Cutler
and Howe roads will follow a
different pattern. Here the roadbed will be graded to level but
no sand lift or gravel base will
be applied. Instead, four and
one-half inches of coarse aggregate will be thoroughly impregnated with hot asphalt and
applied to the grade. On top of
this there will be applied a wearing coat consisting of one and
one-half inches of pea stone chips
imbedded in asphalt. The advantages of this type of construction
i s that it is not necessary to use
such large quantities of sand and
gravel as is required for ordinary
black top construction nor is the
quality of the aggregate used as
critical a factor.
In the central and southern portions of the county, cheap sand and
gravel supplies are running out,
and it is costly to move the product for longer d i s t a n c e s . A l though this stretch of Airport
Road will be an experimental
mile for C l i n t o n County, the
method has had wide application
In other gravel-short areas of
the country and has proved highly
successful. .
H o w e v e r , Clinton with its
many, many different soil types,
conditions and topography could
prove to be an exception. It is
far easier to build and maintain
black top roads, for instance in
some of the sandy n o r t h e r n
counties of the state than here
in Clinton — as you may have
noticed.
Although this deep-strength
asphalt method of building roads
does not take nearly as much
material to build, it is not necessarily cheaper for it does use
considerably larger quantities of
asphalt and the cost of this offsets any practical saving on other
materials. It is estimated that
the asphalt application for the
mile will cost about $25,000 and
the grading, ditching and clearing costs will probably bring
the costs up to $30,000. There
just is no way to black top roads
both well and cheaply.

Once king's domain,
Beaver Island now
vacationers' retreat
A Morman king, a Russian
count and an Emerald Isle,
" It sounds like the plot of an
h i s t o r i c a l novel and indeed,
thousands of words have been
w r i t t e n about *King" James
Jesse Strang, C o u n t F e o d o r a
Portar and Beaver Island,
Anglicized from the French
lie du Castor, Michigan's Beaver
Island was so named because'
on old maps it looked like a
stretched-out beaver skin.
The Island is 32 miles offshore from Charlevoix in northeastern Lake Michigan, It's 14
miles long, six wide and is the
largest island in Lake Michigan
as. well as being the main island
is a group of 13,
Beaver Island originally was
a haven for wild, life and a traget
for Indian hunting parties until
Strang led a small band of Mormon settlers to the island in 1847.
Strang s p l i n t e r e d from the
main Mormon group after losing
a fight with Brigham Young for
the sect's leadership. Young and
the main body headed west to
Utah and the Strangites journeyed
to Beaver Island,
Strang p r o c l a i m e d himself
"king" and the island's only city,
St, James, was named after the
monarch.
STRANG'S FLOCK grew and
so did the power of the only
monarchy in the c o n t i n e n t i a l
United States. Despite the small
size of the island, its population
was greater than that of Emmet
County on the m a i n l a n d and
Strang was able to control the
county government.
Stran's autocratic rule and
religious tenets didn't sit well
with the mainlanders, mainly
Irish settlers and fishermen,
but it was two m e m b e r s of
Strang's own colony who shot
and killed him in 1856,
The colony disintegrated and
the Irish gradually began taking
over the island. They b u r n e d
most of the Strangites' buildings
but some still remain including
the print shop which has been
converted into a museum.
With the Irish , takeover and
because of its forestation, Beavei*:lsland ô&tt'tfecaYne'knownas
the "Emeraldtlsle* and to this
day the biggest holiday on the
island is St. Patrick's Day.
But another patron of the island
was a Russian nobleman, Count
F e o d o r a P r o t a r , who was
banished by the czar because
he freed his serfs. Protar, a
doctor, spent 30 years on Beaver
I s l a n d , t a k i n g care of the
islanders' medical needs without charge.
Beaver Island today retains
the rustic charm of the past
and is an ideal vacation spot
for people who want to slow down,
discover the wildlife and see
spectacular lake sunsets,
A trip to Beaver Island starts
leisurely with a cruise on the
modern motorship Beaver Islander out of Charlevoix. It's a
two hour and 15 minute trip and
you can take your car. The ship
makes two round trips d a i l y
d u r i n g the s u m m e r months.
There's also air service from
Charlevoix.
BEAVER ISLAND has 75 miles
of improved highway, numerous
bathing beaches, inland lakes and
modern accommodations.
There's a nine hole golf course,

at the conclusion of the French
and Indian War.
The Indians, however, had
their revenge on the British
in the 1763 massacre when they
gained entry to the fort by a ruse
during a connived lacrosse game
and slaughtered most of the English garrison, but.spared the
French-speaking traders. It was
part of a general Great Lakes
uprising i n s p i r e d by Chief
Pontiac.
The British retook the fort
in 1764 and held it until the
Revolutionary War when they
abandoned it, moving to nearby
Mackinac Island which offered
a better defensive position. Fort
Michilimackinac then was left
to be covered by sand until 1959.
Among the central figures in
the fort's history was Alexander
Henry, aBrltishfurtraderwhose
journal recorded the massacre,
THROUGH THE intercession
of an Indian friend, Henry's life
was spared and he witnessed the
cannibalism of a less fortunate
prisoner who the Indians "chose
as the fattest, cut off the head
and divided the whole into five

If Ihacltimetonight)Imig'htbeal)itfi,ight6ne[l. But just now, there's time lu fuel only excited and
happy. It's funny . . . when you're a little kid, it seems as if you go to school forever. Then all of a sudden,
it's graduation night, and you know that this is an end and a beginning all at once.
Mom and Dad will be out in the audience, and so will Dan. He sent me these rose*. Our minister will
be out there too, and I hope he'll notice that the smile I send in his direction will be a particularly grateful
one. How often I've gone to him with my childish troubles, only to have him treat them as seiMously as if
they were of world-shaking consequence. It was he who really taught me how to pray.
He taught me so many of God's lessons. And I am sure that throughout my lifetime I'll be learning them
anew and repeating them over and over-again. How wonderful to realize that this commencement, this end o£
an era, is really the beginning of a new tomorrow.

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
vaiues. Without 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) Far his own sake. (2) For his children's sake.
(3) For the sake of his community and nation. (A) For the
sake of the Church itself, which needs bis moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily,

Children's Bible Hour
Rally here this Sunday
The First Baptist Church of
St. Johns will be host to a children's Bible Hour Rally this Sunday evening, May 26, at 7 p.m.
The C h i l d r e n ' s Bible Hour
originated in 1942, with its first
broadcasts on a single radio
station in Grand Rapids. It is
the original Gospel program for
ooys and girls. Now heard weekly
on 450 stations at home and abroad( it is eagerly anticipated
by hundreds of thousands. Listeners not only include boys and
girls, but men and women also.
The program is produced in the
Children's Bible Hour studios by
a staff of 31—most of whom are
children, ages 4 to 15. These
talented fellows and girls have
also released a number of longplay record albums, featuring
their "happy-time" singing and
dramatized stories. The recordings have a wide appeal for adults
f
as well as children.
The program is not connected
with any church or group, but
many denominations are represented among the office and
broadcast staff. No appeals for
funds are made on the air. How-
ever, almost every weekend finds
some of the C.B.H. staff holding
radio rallies in various churches,
at which free-will offerings are
taken.
DIRECTOR OP THIS worldwide ministry is Mrs Ernest
Shooks, known as Aunt Bertha,
She as been associated with the
work since 1947, and Is wellknown by literally thousands of
boys and girls who look to her
for spiritual help and guidance.
The radio rallies give her an
opportunity to meet and greet
friends as she acts as genial
mistress of ceremonies.
Ken Louis, known as *Mr Ken,"
is music d i r e c t o r . He accompanies the singers and musicians,
sometimes at the piano and sometimes at the organ. "Mr Ken* has
been associated with C.B.H. since
1956, and Is principal of an
elementary school in Zeeland.
Radio Rally personnel also include Gail, Lynnelle, and Susie,
known as the Three Nieces. Susie
and Lynelle are both able soloists, and Susie also quotes scripture portions in a way which
amazes those who hear her. She

Mothers honored!
at Church of
Nazarene service
The St. Johns Church of the
Nazerene paid special tribute
to the mothers present at their
May 12 service.
Recipients of awards included
Mrs Barbara Halstead who won
a flower plant for having six of
her -children present; Mrs Faye
Salsbury who received the honor
for being the youngest mother
present; and Mrs Ethel Stewart
who won the distinction of being
the oldest mother at the service.
(She is 81 years of age).
A new event was inaugurated
this year by honoring a "mother
of the year." The recipient for
this year was Mrs W.G, Martin,
wife of one of the former pastors
now retired and living in St.
Johns.
There were about 60 mothers
present, according to the pastor,
the Rev Wesley Manker.
Similar tributes are b e i n g
planned for Fathers Day June
16.
SNAP BEANS
Twenty-six thousand tons of
this tasty vegetable, worth $2.7
million to growers, were produced in Michigan in 1967. The
state is eighth in snap beans for
fresh market and sixth in snap
beans for processing.

CELERY PRODUCTION 3rd
With the fine reputation for
Michigan celery increasing each
year, the state advanced to third
among the states in production
in 1967 with a crop of 722.000
hundredweight w o r t h an estimated $4.2 million. Most of the
crop finds sale on produce counters in several states, but onefourth of it goes to processors
— mostly soup manufacturers.
Kalamazoo over a century ago
was the birthplace of the U.S.
commercial celery industry.

Color takes special care in
cleaning. While today, most
fabrics are yarn-dyed and
color-locked, occasionally we
find colors that run, A fluke
can occur even with the finest
fabric manufacturer. And this,
often presents a serious problem for the cleaner, particularly in printed fabrics
where several colors have
been blended to form the pattern.
This Is just one of the reasons why it is always wise
to send your colorful and
printed garments to a reputable cleaner who will recognize the importance of testing
the fabric for color-fastness
before determining the best
cleaning method. Often a color
fixative can beusedtoprevent
fading or runing of colors.
The 'old adage about the old
way of doing a thing being the
best way is not generally true
where cleaning Is concerned.
Modern science is continually
d e v e l o p i n g new and better
m e t h o d s to c a r e for new
fabrics, new dyes, etc. We
make a point of keeping up
with the l a t e s t c l e a n i n g
developments, so"sehd us your

most fragile fabrics, for safe,

ability big asset to state
By WM. SMITH,
County ASC Manager
This is Michigan Week. During
Michigan Week,.the variousparts
of our economy, are recognized.
I want to review the importance
of agriculture to the state's economy and the number of farm products produced in a large volume.
In 1967, Michigan farmers received. 886 million for the products they sold. The retail value
of these p r o d u c t s would be
between $2 billion and ? 2 1/2
billion, placing agricultural second as a source of revenue in
the state.
•r *
cherries. Almost all of the red
tart cherry crop goes to processors.
Can you visualize \ 4 million
100-pound bags of beans? That
was Michigan's 1967 production
of dry edible beans. Its value
to 11,000 growers was 44 million
dollars. The s t a t e produces
nearly all of the navy beans in
the nation. Most of them a r e '
bought by canners who prefer
them because they stay whole
when processed. Michigan also
produces a lot of kidney, cranberry, pinto; yelloweye, and
colored beans.
Twenty-seven per cent of
Michigan citizens derive some
part of their income from agriculture. Yet only one person
out of 88 in our state is a farm
operator.
FOR YEARS MICHIGAN has
been the nation's chief source
of cucumbers grown for pickles,
and in 1967 producers marketed
117,640 tons of pickles worth
$13 million.
Due to the efficiencies in today's farming operations, Michigan's vast crop production is
achieved on the smallest number
of acres since 1880.
Michigan wheat producers contribute to our food production by
producing an eastern white winter
wheat which is in strong demand
for pastries, such as crackers,,
cookies, and also as a blender for
other flours. A good portion of
our Michigan wheat production
is exported, but with our production Michigan ranks 14th among the nation's great wheat
producers. And Michigan produces two-thirds of all of the
eastern white winter wheatwhich
is in demand for our pastrytype flours.
Michigan* ranked fifth or higher
among the states in the production
of more,than 20 foods last year.
Michigan is the number one
producer of red tart cherries,
dry beans, and cucumbers-grown
for pickles. Each year 3,900
growers produce more than half
of the total crop of red tart
Besides the above-mentioned
fruits and commodities, Michigan ranks very high in the production of a p p l e s , asparagus,
beets, carrots, cabbage, cantaloupe, grapes, peaches, mint,
mushrooms, p o t a t o e s , blackberries, and blueberries.
FOR SAFETY S SAKE
DONY ALLOW fWESlO pftOME
WM CHIMNEY.
So you can see Michigan agriculture with its productivity and
diversification contributes much
to the state economy, and to our
nation's food basket.
As we c e l e b r a t e this 15th
annual Michigan Week, let's all
be proud of the part agriculture
has in Michigan.

Agricultural changes putting
farmer behind bargaining 8-ball
How successful a negotiator
are you? Haggling over price
and conditions of a sale has
become less common for most
of us. The farmer Is 'no exception. More and mpre the farmer is becoming specialized in
production. Often when he does
meet bargaining situations he
fares not too well. *
Why? Several marked changes
have occurred In agriculture and
are continuing to put the individual negotiations. Some are:
1) The technical farm knowledge required just to produce
economically has increased tremendously in recent years.
2) Frequency of selling has
decreased as fewer items are more attention turns to group

AT 4 - H MEMBER A N D RABBIT LEADER MEETING
4 - H members and leaders o f rabbit projects got a look last Monday
night at rabbits'from the live stage to that dressed and ready to be
cooked by the consumer* Posing behind a c a g e - f u l l of rabbits at the
leadership meeting at Smith Hall are David Price of DeWitf, Harold
Johnson of the Johnson Rabbirery of Coldwarer, and Jane Vitek of
St. Johns. Johnson showed the group how to feed and show rabbits,as
w e l l as process them for marketing.
What is bargaining power?
Bargaining is arriving at terms between
seller and buyer so property will change hands.
Bargaining power Is the ability to get the other
fellow to accept your terms. To increase
bargaining power a seller (or buyer) must
obtain and maintain control over one or more
factors that influence price and income. Bargaining power may be used to offer advantages
to the other party for accepting your terms or
you can make him worse off if he does not
accept your offer.
Too often bargaining is thought of as merely
trying to get a higher price for the producer.
Many times other conditions of a sale can haveequal or greater influence on income than a
higher price.
Several economic factors affect bargaining
power. Any seller (or buyer) gains greater
voice depending on his control of one or more
of these factors.
1) CONTROL of production or supply. A
product with a limited number of producers
in a concentrated area has greater control
possibilities. Volume control must apply not
only to present:: production: but; also to future
production. If control is. not adequate new
production may offset any gains.
2) Few substitute products.
3) Storability of a product. A highly perishable product makes bargaining more difficult
for the seller.
4) Alternate uses for the product. The more
uses a product has the easier it Is to bargain
by producers. This helps directly and also
allows working off any excess production to
hold marketing gains.
5) Capable men as negotiators and bargainers.
When representatives for sellers and buyers
have, at least equal skill in diplomacy and
communications as well as accurate knowledge
of production and markets, bargains fair to
both are more likely. Bargaining carried on as
a guessing game based on Ignorance Is seldom
satisfactory.'
6) Government programs and social pressures
often have considerable influence In bargaining
situations.
Not all p r o d u c t s are equally subject to
successful bargaining. Common sense, good
judgment and economic analysis can go. a
long way toward selecting products which, are
adaptable. Effective bargaining by producers ofagricultural products can be a self" help program for today's farm problems.

Last Year Hogmen Started
Over 9 Million Pigs on Purina...
WHY?
Results... that's the best answer we know. Folks everywhere, and folks especially around here are finding out
that pigs start, grow and finish fast on Purina. Hogmen
know they can_depend on Purina Research to keep new
and approved formulas coming. And from feeding experience they know that Purina's Hog Program-pays off in the1
feedlot with fast growtrrand low-cost gains.
PARTNERS IN GROWTH...
Michigan, one of the world's greatest
industrial areas is also an agricultural
leader. A fine example of industry-agriculture cooperation is the MICHIGAN BEET
SUGAR INDUSTRY. Progressive farmers
and efficient industrial food processors
provide consumers with a product of
which it can truly be said: None Finer in
All The World . . . MICHIGAN MADE PURE
SUGAR. Remember MICHIGAN MADE
PURE SUGAR when you shop. Ask 'for it
by name . . . PIONEER or BIG CHIEF
SUGAR, grown, processed, and sold in
Michigan.
Join the trend to Purina. We'll be glad to help you keep
records so you can see for yourself why hogmen in the
U.S.A. started over 9 million pigs on Purina last year. Pigs
love Purina Baby Pig Chow, Early Weaning Chow and
Purina Pig Startena. Feed but your next bunch of pigs

Seven lads from Lansing and

from the law, but they're still
having to pay for' their lawbreaking.
The youths, riding in two cars,
were nabbed by Clinton County
sheriff's deputies while taking
down a yield right-of-way sign at
an intersection south of DeWitt.
As it turned out, the youths had
taken seven or eight such signs,
including yield signs, stop signs
and a DeWitt city limits sign.
No arrests were made, with
the youths agreeing to replace
the signs or make restitution for
the costs of missing signs and
the costs of the county road commission in putting them back up.
The escapade will be costly for
the youths, but it won't be for the
records this time.

| Let's refuel our pride
1 during Michigan week
Some say patriotism is dead, done for,
a dirty word.
Around some places in our enlightened
era, saluting the flag or extolling the virtue
of Mom's apple pie is as likely to incite a
riot as it is to engender a warm tear.
So should we soft-pedal flag-waving
for Michigan?
The 15th annual Michigan Week celebrating Michigan's accomplishments, advantages, opportunities, resources and a s sets is observed May 19-25.
Michigan Week objectives are to give
Michigan citizens and the world a better
appreciation and knowledge of the state,
and to foster a spirit of pride and cooperation among all Michigan communities and
people. That smacks of patriotism.
These facts, among many others, are
likely to be ballyhooed:
iVu.Ngan has more than 11,000 lakes,
Michigan is the automotive capital of
the world, and raaks first in 18 other manufacturing categories.
Michigan ranks fifth or higher in the
production of more than 20 rmijor food
crops,
Michigan has 40 symphony orchestras,
as well as Interlochen, a world famous
center for training of young musicians
and performing artists,
Michigan was the first stale to guarantee every child the right to a tax-paid
high school education.
Michigan contains the world's largest
commercial deposUs of copper. We are
the nation's primary source of salt. Michigan has the world's largest limestone
quarry (it's at Rogers City).
Even Mom's apple pie owes its debl
to Michigan. We rank third, nationally, in
apple productionPatriotism isn't dead; neither is pride.
It's impossible NOT to be proud of this
state of Michigan, if you only look and r e Ifle'ct artoV'compare.
r
Let's 'refuel our pride during)jMjohigan Week.
A job is no luxury;
it's a necessity for youth
Every summer a tragic scene has become all too familiar in communities across
the nation. It's a picture of waste: Idle
youth searching for something to do.
For the past three s u m m e r s , through
the Youth Opportunity Campaign, we have
w i t n e s s e d Che dynamics of America's
democracy working to transform youthful
idleness into youthful productivity.
When school lets out this summer,
more than 2 million of the 13.5 million
youngsters 16 to 21 years old who will be
looking for work won't find it without help.
Even if we equal last y e a r ' s national
record of turning up some 1,1 million extra
jobs for young people, the unemployment
rate among youth will rise by 8 per cent.
That's because we've got an additional halfmillion youngsters looking for jobs this
year.
Clearly, the stakes in this m a s s i v e
summer search for employment are very
high indeed — for youths and adults.
For many of these youngsters, the
children of deprivation, a job is no luxury.
It's an absolute necessity. They have to
earn enough money this summer to return
to school in the fall.
*
*
*
For many others, a job means the
difference between launching a productive
and rewarding career — or remainingidle,
perhaps living on public assistance.
For every single one of them, a job
means exposure to the world of work and
to the responsibilities associated with performing useful work and takinghome apaycheck.
This campaign — now e n t e r i n g its
fourth summer — demands the wholehearted
support of employers, labor, civic groups,
f r a t e r n a l organizations, churches and
schools in cooperation with all government
levels.
Let's invest in our youth in 1968.

Asks quick approval
of subscription T V
The Public Broadcasting Act
of 1967, signed into Federal law
on Noy. 7, 1967, will promote
"educational* programs.
Quality " e n t e r t a i n m e n t " i s
promised, if the Federal Communications C o m m i s s i o n approves subscription television.
Commercial TV will then remain the f r e e entertainment
medium, dependent on Madison
Avenue's ability to hold viewers
with Imaginative commercials.
It's questionable whether the cost
of TV commercials, $65,000 a
minute in prime time, would be
reduced.
Senator George Murphy (Calif.)
expresses his view of subscription television.
"Subscription television is today on the threshold of becoming
a reality. Refreshingly, it is not
asking for special protection; It
is not asking for government
subsidy; it Is not âsking for
economic privileges. Subscription television Is asking only
for the opportunity to add to
the choices available to the viewing public, to create something
additional to what now exists.
•I find It difficult to believe
that subscription television will
have the slightest effect on the
n u m b e r of free advertisings p o n s o r e d programs available to the viewer. As long as
there are products to sell and
advertisers eager to sell them,
programs paid for by advertisers
will continue to be fully available. . .
"Subscription television today
offers the best hope for relieving
unemployment which reached the
crisis stage In one of our most
important i n d u s t r i e s in California. . .
"Today less than 6 per cent
of the Hollywood members of the
Screen Actors Guild are working. Also unemployed are 51 per
cent df'tlieeiectricarteWrilci'dns;'
40 per cent of the sound technicians and cameramen, 51 per
cent of the property craftsmen,
35 per cent of the transportation
d r i v e r s , 75 per cent of the
grips. . .
"We do not delude ourselves
that subscription television will
cure all of the industry's Ills.
But It would open for the industry a vast additional market
with significant new sources of
revenue. . .
"All that the proponents of
pay TV ask is the opportunity
for their product to compete in
the free marketplace; and I find
it difficult, as one who believes
in the free enterprise system and
the value of choice, to justify
denying them that right.
"I join with others in Congress
in expressing the hope that the
Federal Communications Commission will act quickly to approve subscription television..."
*

A GRASSROOTS COMMENT
Cheaply made foreign made
films could possibly take over
the subscription TV market. This
would afford no relief to the
Hollywood unemployed. The leading American actors starring In
these "foreign made films could
continue to live in Europe and
continue to deposit their earnings
in the Swiss banks.
But, as Senator Murphy states,
"All that proponents, of pay TV
ask is the opportunity to compete in the free marketplace."
Subscription TV would provide
that opportunity.
Subscription TV might possibly
boom the sales of color sets. The
viewer who paid would want the
best possible picture for his
money.—J.C.
One nice thing about people
is that so many thousands are
brave when no one is looking.

We actually went only two thirds

not, as before, climb out on the

suggestion because of a balky

around the hatch opening.

OPINION
By W. E. DOBSON
Half a century together!
Fifty years of married life,
Five decades in double harness
Living still as man and wife.
First the east then wending westwardBrooklyn first, then middle west,
Now as Arizona natives
Still responding to each test.
Fifty years of sun and shadow,
Love has lasted through the years,
You haye passed your tests, together
Years of joy, and fears and tears;
Ten and forty years of memory
Now are yours to oft recall,
All the trials and the triumphs
As the summer fades to fall.
Every book has many chapters,
And each chapter tells a tale,
But the book you both have cherished
Has sustained and will prevail;
As you wend your way together
Toward the sunset In the West,
May you be carefree and happy
Finding each new day the best.
WORKABLE GOALS
"I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand
as in what direction we are moving," said Oliver Wendell Holmes. The
point is particularly relevant to the stewardship of our natural resources.
With only a few notable exceptions, we proceeded during most of two
centuries without any deliberate direct ton In the use of our natural resources, unless it can be said that it was in the direction of exploitation.
The consequences are now coming clear bn every hand. We are awash
in resource troubles. Pollution, erosion, and waste afflict us and these have
led us, finally, to an anxious appraisal of our surroundings and resource
profligacy. In lurn, government and many private organizations are acting
to establish policies and authorize programs aimed at repairing past
mistakes while moving the country toward a new and much higher regard
for resource values.
Along a very broad front we are now pointed in the direction of conservation,
multiple use, preservation, and orderly development — as befits the par-
J!to&
ticular situation. We are engaged in resource planning at various levels and
places, pledged to the improvement of resource quality, committed to the
elevation of aesthetic values,- and embarked, too, on varied eflorts to
develop natural resources as an avenue lo economic progress.
So the patterns are being charted and the goals set for the time ahead,
Are they workable goals? Is there enough understanding on the part of all
those who must act if the goals are to be attained? Are we asking too
much of too many too soon?
The true steward, conscious of h'is responsibility to God for the care of
the wealth of resources He has placed at our disposal, will welcome the
additional goals as an opportunity, He will see in the goals a test of his
Initiative and resourcefulness — and a clear chance to demonstrate, in
word and deed, his allegiance to God's will.
Each goal has its local application, however large or small. In education,'
in enlarging the brotherhood of stewards, in organization, and in actual
care for the land, there Is work to be done. Each goal can be identified and
each one attained, step by step. Each among us can, if he wyIll, take a step.

MICHIGAN MIRROR
Interest in the tiny country of
^ritish Honduras is increasing
among Michigan businessmen
and professionals. The emerging
nation, to be called "Belize"
Vhen i t ' a t t a i n s independence
from Great Britain in the near
future, was "adopted" by Michigan two years ago.
Michigan is one of 34 states
participating in the N a t i o n a l
Association of the Partners of
the Alliance, formed for, the purpose of developing Central and
Latin America.
Belize, Michigan's "partner,"
is bounded on the north and west
by Mexico and on the south and
west by Guatemala. Its eastern
boundaries face the Caribbean.
,Its total area is only 8,866 square
miles, roughly the size of the
"Thumb" of Michigan, and population totals only 110,000.
A DELEGATION from Michigan visited the country in February to discuss the most pressing problems and d e v e l o p a
program of assistance. According to Judd Arnett, Detroit Free
Press columnist who accompanied the delegation, "It was
'investors' - r i c h Americans
with money for speculation—that
the Belize Partners, brass band
and all, awaited at the airport
that first Sunday in February.
The Michigan delegation, many
innocent of the roles expected of
them, did not live up to advance
billing."

goodwill was rampant; fellowship
never fell into more concerned
hands; but of money in large
quantities there was a definite
paucity. That was the status of
the Michiganians as the Belize

of Belize are accessible-only by
