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 • 113th Year, No. 4 ST.

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 (Story continued on Page 2-A) BERNARD NELLER Neller new Lions Club president Bernard Neller of 1001 Taft Road, R-5, St. Johns, has been elected president of the St. Johns Lions Club for the 1968-69 year and will take office In July. He succeeds Dr Albert Nelson as Lions President. Neller, a 12-year member of the St. Johns Lions Club, has served as first vice president for the past year. Other new officers include Al LeFevere as first vice president, Charles Barnes as second vice president, John Hannah as third vice president, Herb Houghten as secretary-treasurer, W i l l i a m Chalmers as tail twister, Charles Wood as Lion tamer, Lawrence Fish and Elden LeBlond as directors for two y e a r s , and Richard Rutter andTerryLarner as directors for one year. • 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. • * • •• • Preliminary allocation draws fire The Clinton County Allocation Board made i t s p r e l i m i n a r y r e p o r t Monday night, and it immediately drew fire from the school d i s t r i c t s of the county.

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. 27 to leave Clinton for Army May 28 Despite "Viet Nam peace talks, the war in Southeast Asia continues, as reflected again this month in the induction quota for the Clinton County Selective A success story Ray Cook of West Klnley Road, R-l Fowler, has had real success with his classified advertising in the Clinton County News, He sold this herd the first week the ad ran, and he's sold a portion of the items advertised in a second ad. •3*fc i4&&at)fcTBa& GMkV<R-il YOU TOO CAN GET FAST RESULTS WITH CLINTON COUNTY NEWS WANT ADS.

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.

GIVE TO FIGHT 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.

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.

Report 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.

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.

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.

The British took control in 17G1 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 parts, one of which each was put Into five kettles,,.," Major Robert Rogers fate was somewhat better—he was taken Continued on page 7.

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. Ovid Area OVID F I R S T BAPTIST CHURCH Main a t Oak S t r e e t R e v E a r l C.

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.

Walker St. ST. JOHNS * Phone 224-2361 M CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, St. Johns, Michigan Thursday, May 23, 1968 Page 9 {J : efy 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 ALL RISKS Insurance Protection » ' ^ has a long-play recording of S c r i p t u r e , verses called'The Living Word." Adding "tiny-tot sparkle" is 6-year-old Mike with his bright songs and spontaneous conversations. Rev Roger Harrison, pastor of the First Baptist Church, invites all boys and girls to come and bring their families for this special rally. 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. Opmfgttet from VAN W.

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.

The "In IUemoriam" will be placed opposite of our classified page on Memorial Day, Thursday, May, 30th. 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 delicate colors, your most fragile fabrics, for safe, thorough cleaning.

It apparently ran in the local paper, but there is no indication when, other than it was a long time age. Being as how this is Michigan Week, here are some "Michigan MInuteman" facts about the state from years gone by. The column was entitled "Facts About Michigan," and c a r r i e d subheads saying "Compiled by the state Republican, with slight additions concerning Clinton County" and "Should be committed to memory and recited daily." ' The state Republican has com-piled thefollowinf interesting facts regarding great state of Michigan. Michigan was the 13th state admitted to the Union—January 26, 1837. The f i r s t white settlement within the limits of the state was made by Father Marquette, who in 1668, founded a mission at Sault Ste. Marie. In 1671 Fort Michilimackinac (now Mackinaw) was established by the French. Detroit was founded in 1701, and the whole t e r r i t o r y was nominally under the Jurisdiction of France until 1763, when Great Britain assumed control of all the French possessions. The first state consitutionwas adopted in 1836. ' By legislative act of March 16, 1847, Lansing was made the capital. There are more short people in Michigan than any other state. A new constitution was adopted in 1850, which, with subsequent amendments, is-now in force. Lake Superior and Michigan and some In Lake Huron* The greatest length of the lower peninsula is 277 miles; its greatest breadth 259. THE UPPER PENINSULA is 318\miles long from east to west and its widest part from north to south 164 miles. By drawing a line south the western extremity of Michigan wouldstrike Dubuque, Iowa.

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.

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 produced by any one individual efforts.

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. host Farm Bureau group The Farm Bureau Group of French's Corner met Tuesday evening, May 14, in the Melvin Smith home, 10 members present.

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.

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. The 'Low Down | From the Congressional Record By Joe Crump 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 ^asking 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..." * v 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.

That is where I turned man duplicated, in part, an shudder-bug. . .and took some almost heroic feat of late Octopictures, too. ber 1964 by climbing up the new The climb was not as bad as St. Johns water tower. It was it was the first time, actually, kind of like a reunion with even with plenty of time to courage. dread it In advance. As before, the first 50 feetwere the worst, During the last 3 1/2 years because you go straight up an I have had a nagging feeling open ladder in the middle of the that my initial climb to the top tower base. Not only does the of the tower was a fluke, a spurladder bounce a bit, but the of-the-moment act that was conformity of the base somemore i n s t i n c t i v e than courtimes gives you the impression ageous (Three other city offi(if you want to think about it) cials who were out with me that the ladder leans backward. examining the then-new tower climbed up, leaving me alone After a 50-foot climb, there's down below; what could I do but a hatchway into a platform. follow?) Then there's another 20-25That first trip was exciting • but not r e a l l y difficult. In looking back on those facts, I told myself that the only way to prove the trip was no fluke was to go back up the tower again. I halfheartedly searched for a good reason, but there's no real news value in just climbing the tower, and it isn't old enough yet to have any important anniversary to write about. Then, with mixed emotions, I discovered the water tower was In an excellent position, probably, for photographing the new additions at Clinton Memorial Hospital. During the construction phases I managed to think of the possibility only on rainy, windy and cloudy days when not even e x p e r i e n c e d climbers would want to venture out, foot climb up a ladder welded to the side of the tower stem, then another p l a t f o r m and another 25-foot climb. This puts you at the 100-footlevel, ABOVE YOU AT THIS point is a tube and ladder up through the middle of the tank to the hatch that opens into the wild blue yonder. Three and a half years ago I „\yas out on the top of the tower, but this time we didn't go. From theplacewherewetook the pictures, there is 30 feet of water above us in the tank, with an extra 10 or 12 feet of headroom above the water level and the top of the tank. Access to the water, and the cathodlc protection device in the tank, is through a second hatch In the top of the tower. Glenn e x p l a i n e d that the cathodlc protection is provided by a small amount of electric current being put into the water from rods inside the tankatthe top. The current flows through water to the sides of the tank at and below the water line, forming a layer of hydrogen ions which in effect p r e v e n t the water from actually touching the sides of the tank. This prevents rust and does away with the need to repaint A look into the past . BUT TWO WEEKS AGO, in preparing for the special hospital section in advance of the open house, I told myself I couldn't wait any longer. Now (then) was the time to prove my courage and get a good picture, too. I contacted city officials , and Glenn Austin, water p l a n t superintendent, agreed to accompany me up. The climb was uneventful. We actually went only two thirds of the way up the tower and did not, as before, climb out on the very top. This was at Glenn's suggestion because of a balky hatch latch and a rather stiff breeze we could hear roaring around the hatch opening. Besides, there is a porthole ,, t i t >• i* * H I i n i i « t f 'i on the northeast side of the tower's stem, just at the base of the tank at the 100-foot level, which affords a good view (with a little leaning out) of the HrinTCi^ All of these bits of information were passed on to me as we caught our breath 100 feet up before starting back down. We also enjoyed the view, which is real nice. The setting of the hospital against the background of trees north of Sturgis Street should provide for some interesting color photography this fall. I may shudder up the tower again. —rink LETTERS W -3£<w~ TO THE Kir* * EDITOR/ Music department thanks all for backing ipusicalt < ES5EX CENTER S C H O O L KIDS I N 1902 Mrs V i r g i l Halsted of Mead Road, R - l , Sr. Johns brought this picture to the Clinton County News recently for Mrs Herman Smith, who thought it might make an interesting addition to our "Look into the Past" series.

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. '**<* !

MANY FINE THINGS have already been accomplished under the Alliance plan, notes Arnett. Doctors, educators, vocational experts, agriculture extension agents, business executives and specialists in many fields have been sent there at Partner expense, or have been moved southward. There is a place and a need for everything. Sault Ste. Marie has •unofficially" adopted the Belize city of Orange Walk Town as its sister city.

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." • UuIntentions werehonorable; goodwill was rampant; fellowship never fell into more concerned hands; but of money in large quantities there was a definite paucity.

The country is handicapped by lack of such basic .'Necessities as roads.Manyparts of Belize are accessible-only by plane or pack animal, and those roads which do exist are "abominable," says Arnett, This under development makes the Belize dream of becoming a tourist Mecca impractical in the foreseeable future.
