Many words liave been written
in the last two months about the
plight of the St. Johns School

are effective in convincing the
community that a serious threat
to our children's education is
about to fall upon us if the June
10 millage proposal isn't approved, then these words come
very easy.
I travel extensively throughout
the state In my work and often

school systems and curriculums

A very serious issue faces votthe only way this community will ers on June 10 in the St. Johns
recognize the problem of fi- school millage election. Conscinancing our schools is to de- entious parents and conscientious
prive that community of an ade- citizens have no choice but to yote
yes.
The temptation to vote no certainly is strong at a time when the
cost of living continues to rise,
when we now pay a state income,
tax, when those of us who work
In Lansing now pay a city income
tax, and we are threatened with
a federal income tax surcharge.
The temptation to vote no is
great because this is the only
place left where we can voice
disapproval for those things that
hit our pocketbook.
The cost of public and private
education has risen dramatically
in the past five years. This is not
the fault of our board of education or our administration, but
rather a condition of our times
that exists throughout the nation.
We have been very fortunate in

Secretary, Board of Education
pare our past millage with that 6f
taxpayers In other school districts throughout the state. In
fact, latest figures show our
school district ranks 476th out
of 531 in our state in per capita
expenditure.
We have been very fortunate.
We have not wasted any money
in our school district because
we have not been called upon to
provide enough money to be wasted. Yet our school remains on
the North Central accredited list
year after year.
We are on the verge of becoming a top school district with our
new high school, a building for
junior high, and a solid physical
foundation for an improved city
and rural elementary system. It
would appear to be somewhat
foolhardy at this time for us not
to provide the money to retain
our t e a c h e r s , to attract new
teachers, and to keep our school
doors open fulltime next September.
If we really face up to it, although things are never perfect,
we can afford for the most part
m any of the material things of this
world that we want. We can also
afford to educate our children and
our neighbors' children if we
choose to do so.
In this matter we have no
choice but to vote yes. To do otherwise might well result In a situation that would be extremely
serious if nottragic. Our children
are our only important heritage,
and our children must not be
shortchanged on this issue.
I respectfully urge you to vote
yes on June 10.
Sincerely,
JOHNL.GAPFNEY

Dear Editor,
In recent weeks it has become
increasingly apparent that the
people of our community are taking a serious look at the community and, its problems. Not only
are we looking, but many of us
are beginning to act to solve
these problems.
Not the least of our difficulties
concerns our children and our
schools. At the present time the
question is whether or not our
schools >wÛ£

The millage vote on June 10 is
necessary for an adequate education. For the benefit of my two
sons and the community atlarge,
I plan to vote YES. 1 sincerely
hope that the rest of the community will do likewise.
MRS WILLIAM C. KEMPER

Here's a plea
against school
millage issue
Dear Editor:
I have a few thoughts on the
millage issue thatlbelieve should
be .heard. First of all let's get
straight who Is 'for" and who is
"against" education. The whole
theme of the propaganda, or sales
pitch, put forth by the superintendent and his school board is
that If you are against a raise in
millage you are automatically
against education which, unfortunately, many people believe.
I am against a raise in millage
but by no means am I—or have I
ever been—against education,
I do not believe anyone could
be more aware than I of the importance of a good education.
For quite a few years Ihavebeen
helping to support two school
systems. This is by my own
choice because I want my children to have a complete education
and, even though the supreme
court says it's against the law,
I feel religion is an important
part of education.
Next year we will have two
children in high school and I
hope' they will get as good an
education as possible. As for
paying for t h e i r education I
believe that I will be payW a
far greater share than will the
majority of people who read this
letter, so I hope this squelches
the nonsense about people who are
against high millage as also being
against education.
OUR MAIN PROBLEM started
with the taxpayers in the St.
Johns District being hoodwinked
into votingfor an elaborate school
which we could not afford. Now
we are being told that if we do
not come across with every dime
that the board of education asks
for, our children will suffer, and
I say if we do our children will
suffer.
I have talked with many people
Who have no idea as to what they
are paying for schools, or how
much they might have to pay.
The school board will tell you
that 12.8 mills is for one year,
but have they told you that this
will bring us up to 35.58 mills
for our over-all taxes?
On at least three different
occasions I have asked school
board members what the cost
of completing the new high school
Will cost - such as new furnishings, teachers, maintenance
etc. - and on each occasion I
have been told that this has not
even been discussed as yet. Can
you imagine anyone In business
building a multi-million dollar
plant and having no idea whatsoever as to what it was going to
cost to complete and operate
this plant? I ,would dare say
this man would soon be looking
for a new job.
Since the superintendent and
school board apparently believe
that this is immaterial and that
the taxpayer will have to pay
regardless of the cost, some of
the responsible men in the school
district have been doing some
figuring and came up with the
figure of an additional 15 mills
which will bring a tax load of
near 50 mills. Can you afford
this? I cannotl
In trying to push this millage
across, the school board has
used a series of comparisons
with other school districts, sort
of a 'keep up with the Joneses"
campaign, so let me do the
same. A few days ago the Lansing school district turned down
3.4 mills. If they can't afford
this we certainly cannot afford
12.8 mills. We, the people in
the school district, must continue to turn this millage down
until we .force the legislature
portiqn of the taxes we are paying to 'the s t a t e for f their
"castle in the sky" projects.
Even though these men think
they ar£ little gods, remember
we elected them and we can
remove them from office.
This is only a small portion of
what could be said on this subject. I feel I must plead with you
to turn this millage down until
we know what we are buying and
ask the voters to vote for the new
men who are running for the
school board,

Decision is up
to taxpayers
Dear Editor:
As a result of the decision of
the allocation board this week,
the decision of whether or notwe
have school this fall rests entirely upon us, the voters and taxpayers of this school district.
With less than 8 mills allocated
to the schools they cannot benefit
from even partial state aid.
Let us remember—we must
have schools. There is no cheap
way to present a child with a good
education. If we fail to do so,
the state will do it for us and this
we know will cost all of us more.
If you disapprove of the tax
s y s t e m , let your legislators
know; but the issue athandforall
of us, whether we have a street
or rural route address is to vote
'YES'on June 10,
If you disagree, don't explain
it to us, explain it to your children and/or grandchildren.
Sincerely,
DICK and HELEN KOHLS

u 'Vietnamese haven't moral strength
Clinton County News
for independence,' ex-Elsie engineer says
€
ELSIE-Russell D. Taylor, son
of Mr and Mrs Floyd V. Taylor
of R-l, Elsie, Is an engineer with
a private firm operating atDaNang, Viet Nam, and he had some
comments recently concerning
the' "moral strength for Independence* of the Vietnamese people.
Taylor now calls his home Tucson, Ariz. He was interviewed by
John Riddlck of the Tucson Citizen. This is the reprinted article.
The first convoys that rolled
Into-Khe Sanh after the road was
opened carried equipment to hulld
a new; airstrip that was designed
• by Tuscon engineer-Russell D.
Taylor.
*Pm not in on tactical planning
and I don't know if they will build
the strip," said Taylor In his office here. "But they'll have the
facilities If they decide to do so."
Taylor arrived in Da Nang the
first of the year, hired by Adrian
sT Wilson Associates as its chief
engineer, with the new Khe Sanh
airstrip as his first assignment.
Initially, he was supposed to go
to Khe Sanh to make a survey
and soil samples. But the siege
began, changing this plan.
"We were prepared to golf they
said so. But they wouldn'tletus,"
said Taylor.
THE PRESENT 3,900 - foot
strip at Khe Sanh, with its simple aluminum matting s u r f a c e ,
has been falling under the pounding of the cargo ships.
A. rock crusher and a hot asphalt plant have been sent to Khe
Sanh to lay a more durable strip
of '4,100 feet. There's a rock
j quarry west of the base, towards
Laos, said Taylor.
The future of Khe'Sanh Is still
not announced but apparently it
will continue to be used in some
way.
Taylor worked-on airport projects while In Tucson at bothBisbee - Douglas International and
Davls-Monthan AFB.
Adrian W i l s o n Associates,
[which has designed $1 billion
worth of facilities in the past
three years, has done master
plans for many of the air bases
of Vietnam.
Taylor works with a staff consisting'mainly of 'third nationals" — foreigners from countries
. 'Other than the United States.
^ V I He calls these men from Korea
,_and Formosa highly, 6a*gable^'
Corhparahle with Americans, except that they lack self-confidence and need American leaderShip and encouragement to use"
their talents.
OF THE DOZEN Vietnamese on
the staff, he said, "We're lucky
to have more than our share of
the honest ones."
Taylor is not an admirer of the
Vietnamese. He says, "I never
saw physically more endowed
people—but they haven't the moral strength for freedom."
' In his view, the Vietnamese
lack the determination, dedication and strength for their task
of winning and building an independent nation.
He told of men \n his organization who paid 50,000 to 60,000
piasters ($1 Is l i s piasters) to*
get out of the army and now give
half their pay to their former
commanders who also collect
their military pay.
He told of maids who work at
his office who were "shaken
down" for 300 plasters on their
way to work by police.
*I got so mad, I drove them to
work/ said Taylor.
And yet with these opinions,
Taylor, a World War II pilot, also
believes the United States must
Be a Michigan Minuteman.
Take a minute to tell someone
about Michigan, the nation's pantry.
— In v a r i e t y , volume and
q u a l i t y Michigan's food production constantly amazes the
most incredulous and pleases the
most particular.
— Annually almost all the
country's navy beans are grown
in Michigan; 7,385,000 hundredpound bags of 'em to be almost
exact.
— By resolution promulgated
by House Speaker Uncle Joe
Cannon in 1904, Michigan bean
*\soup is on the menu of the congressional restaurants in Washington every day.
— Michigan is first in production of red tart cherries,
usually producing about 70 per
cent of the nation's crop.
— .Michigan is No. 1 in blue-berries, growing about 25* mil' lion pounds a year.
'
— Even In a poor year Michigan is first in production of
cucumbers for pickles.
<— In a hundred years Michigan has slipped a little in celery
g r o w i n g . Kalamazoo was the
birthplace of commercial celery
production in the mid 1800's.
Now we're seventh in celery.
— Fact is, Michigan comes
closer to setting the family table
completely — breakfast/ lunch
and. dinner — than any other state.

like weeds after a warm rain.
Peddling of
dietary fads
and special

foods* is-one
of the 'favorite activities
of the gypsters, and it
is estimated
that at least
10 million persons in the United
States fall victim to food fads
and fallacies every year,
Dr James Goddard, commissioner of ther Food and Drug
Administration,' puts it this way:
"The woods are still full of the
same quacks and charlatans today as they were yesterday. They
are still there ready topreyupon
the unsuspecting or frightened
person who will fall for a short

ical fertilizers are necessary to
produce enough food to feed our
nation and are not poisoning our
soil or our food. As for pesticides, when they are used on food
crops the FDA limits the levels
at which they may be used and
the amounts that are allowed to
remain on the food, . .limit-'

enforced.
ANOTHER COMMON foodconnected fallacy is that aluminum cooking utensils are dangerous to health. Aluminum is
the third most abundant element
In the earth's crust and it occurs
naturally in many foods. Cooking
In aluminum utensils is harmless
as is cooking in .teflon-coated
pans, another commonly cited
danger. Careful testing of teflon
coated cookware has proved that
no danger can come from either
normal kitchen use or from over. heating the utensil.
•Examples of food fads and

VOLUNTEER HELP FOR TEACHER AT CEDAR LAKE SCHOOL
Late last winter severql women in the Cedar Lake School area in the
southeast part of the St. Johns School- District volunteered their assistance
to teacher Mrs Margaret Wyrick for helping out with the duties around
the school that could be handled by a teacher's aide. The idea was to
decrease "secretarial" work and allow Mrs Wyrick more time for teaching. Working w'th Mrs Wyrick (standing left) with some children last .
Wednesday were Mrs Paul Andrews, Mrs Richard Archer, Mrs Myron Farrier and Mrs Richard Nickols. The children are Gale Oantz, Ronnie Webster, Roy Webster and Jimmy Farrier. The aides divide their time, and
usually no more than one is present at any given time. Walter N i c k e l ,
administrative assistant in charge of rural schools, said the four women
are strictly volunteers and they get no pay from the schools for their assistance.

from VAN W. HOAG
Dear friends,
Life ahead for the graduating student was never more
promising, nor challenging.
In this technical age, the
unskilled person is lost. Success depends, on the development of professional or technical skills.
•«
The new generation .must
pray and work for peace, to
safeguard the very existence
of this world of ours. Your
joy "will come in molding a
better world for yourselves
and for future generations.
, " . - . .
Sincerely,
Incidentally, do you know what
the colors in the flag originally stood for? Red is for
hardiness and valour; White,
for purity and innocence; and
blue, for vigilance, perserverance and justice* Our forefathers had a high conception
of the virtues they wanted to
be identified with America,
T-hey had those q u a l i t i e s
themselves and wanted them
to be part of the American
tradition*
To help you remember Flag
Day, we're happy to renew
our annual policy of cleaning
your flag free.for this occasion. Bring it in soon.

TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
OF CLINTON COUNTY, MICHIGAN
GENTLEMEN:
We take pleasure in presenting for your information and
consideration our twenty-eighth annual report of the operations of
the Clinton County Department of Social Services covering the
period from January 1,1967 to and including December 31, 1967.
Respectfully submitted,

FOREWORD
* * We have had a very active year in the Social Service Department. The trends In public assistance are changing rapidly. The
needs of the elderly a r e changing. As more persons reaching
retirement age are being covered by Social Security Benefits, fewer
people are In need of Old Age Assistance . This is definitely
reflected in the decrease of Old Age Assistance oases each year. Although fewer persons are In need of cash assistance, more are
in need of medical and hospital assistance. This need i s being met
by the Medical Assistance Prdgram.
The greater need for cash assistance is now in the area of
families where children, are deprived of the support of a parent, by
reason of death, absence, incapacity, or unemployment. The needs
of this group of people is met with cash assistance, but also with
better case work or social work services to help them improve
their living standards.
*"'
This county has not seen the large increase in Aid to Dependent
Children cases that many counties have. This appears to be a
problem centered primarily In the large metropolitan areas.
W e also have a Child Welfare Worker In our office. .This
program i s becoming, a larger and more Important part of our
agency. The legislature has recently made the Department of
Social Services responsible for receiving and Investigating cases
of "abused" or "battered" children in cooperation with the P r o s e cuting Attorney and Juvenile Court. The law now makes it mandatory that'certaln professional persons, such as doctors, nurses and
-school personnel, report cases of suspected child, abuse to the
Social Service Department for Investigation. The program at the
County Infirmary Is proceeding very nicely. Although our Infirmary
i s 'old physically, our Welfare Board was wisely decided to keep,the
building in good repair. By this statement we mean to make the
repairs and Improvements as they a r e needed and thus not to
suddenly find ourselves with an exceedingly large amount of
expenses which would be Impossible to 'accept at one time. Some
counties have found it necessary to close their infirmaries because
of the great expense involved in repairing old buildings.
>
In the near future we will find it necessary to consider the
construction of a County Medical Care Facility as the medical
needs of our citizens must be met and the present facilities in
the county are barely able to meet the present need, let alone the
future.
In December of 1967 Clinton County, (rwas approved by the
United States Department of Agriculture to handle the Food Stamp
Program. This will replace the Surplus Commodity Program. The'
tentative date for instituting this program Is July,* 1968.
t We certainly must feel that the year 1967 has been a year of
great activity in the Social Service Department, but also it has
t been a year of considerable satisfaction as the overall need of our
needy citizens Is being met more fully.

Comments and action taken: Mr. Duguay, our attorney, p r e sented the revised restrictions and guidelines as proposed by
Harold Maguire (the developer) and the Board evaluated them and
made clarifications. The matter of a storm shelter was thought to
be important and was discussed.at great length; (no conclusion),
also, the requirement for hold downs so that trailers may be anchored to the cement slab was included in the restrictions.
A motion was made by H. L. Brook to rezone from G, Industrial to D, Agriculture, also submit approval and recommendations
to Board of Supervisors for trailer park permit. Motion supported
by Gerald Shepard. Motion carried 4 to 0. Subject to restrictions
agreed to and discussed as follows:

This means more labor, which is

Boyd says failures occur when

Trusses should be spaced at

A spacing of five feet can be

trying to cut costs, try to save
by narrowing the trusses to eight

says.

Soil survey
in Duplain
ELSIE—Soil surveys are now
under way in Duplain Township
in northeastern Clinton County.
Farm-by-farm mapping of soils
in this area has been started, according to Lloyd Campbell of the
Soil Conservation Service in St.
Johns.
The soil survey is part of a
county-wide program to map all
of the land in Clinton County.
Campbell explained that soil
borings and many detailed observations are made throughout
the area. The kinds of soils, clay
land, sandy land or swamp, slope
and other features important to
the use of the land are then
plotted on aerial photographs. In
addition, roads, town, churches,
and other familiar landmarks are
shown.
Soil maps help in the design of
drainage systems andfarmponds
and show areas needing erosion
control,
of the" '
servation District, said many
farmers in the county have already noted the value of soil
surveys in planning and carrying
out their soil and water conservation plans.
•And our urban friends are
becoming interested in soil surveys too" according to Baird.
"We hope the soils data will help
make them pick ahomesite where
they won't have to worry about
wet basements and troublesome
septic tank filter fields,"
The soil survey now underway
is being carried out by soil
scientists of the Soil Conservation Service and the Michigan
A g r i c u l t u r a l Experimentation Station, They are aided In
the program with financial help
and assistance from the TrlCounty Regional Planning Commission, and county boards.

The sale will be held at 1:30
p.m. today (Thursday) at the

The sale is the first in which
the ASC State Committee plans
to sell between one and two million bushels of storage space
around the state this year, according to William M. Smith,
county ASC manager.
"We don't need the storage any
more," Smith said in explaining
the reason for the sale. "We've

3,250 b u s h e l s capacity each.
They'll be sold at public auction
today, a l o n g with s o m e grain

look considerably more bare with
31 bins missing, the familiar
round structures won't be gone
entirely, "We still have a little
corn over there,* Smith said,
"and the price of corn is such
that they don't want to sell any
right now. So we're goingtokeep
18 bins."
"All structures that we sell
must be used for the storage of
a g r i c u l t u r a l commodities,'
Smith pointed out, "arid the
buyers must certify that they will
use them for this purpose.
"The rapid shift to sheUed
rather than ear corn harvest
makes the sale of these bins
particularly timely. This type
of storage on farms will permit farmers to harvest either
shelled corn or wheat and secure
price support loans at harvest
time."
Smith said the ASC is encouraging f a r m e r s to reseal
their loan corn on the farm,
where it will be handy when they
need it. '

THE CCC ALSO OWNS '116
storage bins in St. Johns. They're
located across Steel Street from
the Mt. Rest Cemetery and are
presently used to store some
130,000 bushels of corn.
Smith said there are no plans
to sell the bins in St. Johns.
The E l s i e bins were constructed in 1953 on leased property. Smith said there was not
nearly the amount of commercial
storage available to the CCC at
that time as there is now and the
government had to go into the
storage business.
The round storage structures
have been dismantled, and buyers
will have to remove them from
the bin site within 10 days.

Area schools
deserve yes'
These are still times tjxat try men's
souls . . . and, pbcketbooks.
Wise Americans keep a watchful eye on
spending' in an effort to make their paychecks go as far as they can at today's inf l a t e d pr.ices. And so they all look for
bargains, for something which they can get
more value out of than what they actually
have to spend.
Most of the time a consumer will get
what he pays for. If he tries to buy a pro-'
duct at a real cheap price he finds he gets
a real cheap product. If he 'puts a lot of
money into a product he usually finds it's a
good one. **
In other words, money buys quality today; quantity is available at practically any
price. . School districts all over Clinton County
are asking citizens to make a purchase of
quality education next Monday. And it's a
real bargain at the price.
Millage amounts differ somewhat. In
almost every case the millage will be for
operation of the school system during the
coming year. At Fowler and DeWitt there
are also requests for bond issues to buy
much-needed classroom and other educational space.
*
*
*
*
In St. Johns, Ovid-Elsie and Fowler,
the requests for operational millage are
of utmost importance — moreso now than
ever, since the county allocation board r e duced the amount ofjnillage the schools will
be allocated for next year. • Without local
support of the voters with their yes votes
Tuesday, there's every liklihood schools
won't open in the fall . . . at least under
local control.
'There will be no better bargain for
area folks than what "they'll get Monday.
Yes, they'll have to approve spending a
lot of money for education, but it will be
an investment that will benefit them many
times over. The cut in allocation makes the
yes vote almost mandatory, unless we don't
,.want our schools to operate. State aid will
not be forthcoming unless our local school
taxes are for eight mills or more. Without
approval of extra voted mills, the total would
be only 7.717 mills. Without state aid, the
school district would be forced to operate
with a quarter or less of the funds it needs,
and it just couldn't.
• If we're ,going to have schools, we
should have quality. Anything less and we
will have spent our money for a "lemon."
St. Johns and Ovid-Elsie voters have already turned down millage proposals once,
but now the situation is desperate.

And then there was the restaurant which had

chanting "Here come de judge, here come de

Or: my wife brought along her new wig which
travels on a dummy head carried In a huge wicker
basket which she bought from a retired charmer
of snakes. To make room for it inour bulging car,
I had to drive withmyleftlegand arm hanging outside the window.
The wig was necessary, Pat said, so she could
swim with abandon all day and still dine wellcoiffed thatêvenlng. By the sixth day she was still
wading at 'the kiddie end of the pool. For a frustrated husband, the only answer was to throw the
wig off the diving board.
MY WIFE DID A LOT OF reading. She read
speed limit signs and our speedometer. Fat moves
her lips when she reads and can be heard clearly
by the driver. She rattles off the common 65-milespar-hour signs in ho-hum fashionbutdisDlavs considerable animation for "Radar Controlled" and
"Speed Limits Strictly Enforced."
The sign that excited^ her the most was In

Pat gave that one such a dramatic reading that 9year-old Eddie, had to comment: "Boy, Mother
really liked that sign, didn't she?*
And then there was that little boy who found
a dead, stinking fish floating in the Atlantic. Before
burying the fish he sprayed It thoroughly with
deodorant. All of us at the funeral were grateful
although it was disturbing when the boy's father

To amuse the kids while eating three meals

eat spaghetti for breakfast, and corn flakes for

never knew if I'd have steak or a strawberry soda

I thought about our sightseeing drives off the
main highways and the miserable shacks and the
dirty kids and>the beaten adults who sat on rickety

thought about the goodies my kids ordered to confuse the game, and then nibbled and left on their

There are among us people
with artistic talent (consider
those'displaying at the Friends
of the Bement Public Library
art show during M i c h i g a n
Week). There are also among
us p e o p l e with no artistic
talent, who could not paint a
wall white and have it look
good.
Ever since I flunked first
grade art I have placed myself in the latter category and
been humble. I managed to swing
easily through a m e c h a n i c a l
drawing course in high school
and enjoyed it more than a
Httle,->but the qualities of a
draftsman^ and an, artist are
not the-.same.
As I proceeded through the
years, the lack of artistic
talent made me both sad and
glad. I admire people who can
draw or paint pictures, and I
truly wfsh I could. I'm sad
because I can't.
In the last year or so, however, my good wife has seen
what she c o n s i d e r s to be
splotches of great artistlc.talent
and has fervently set out to
make me a van Gogh. Her
theory is to start slowly, working first on whole walls in
order go get the "feel* of various colors.

OPINION
FINDLAY, OHIO, REPUBLICAN-COURIER: "President
Johnson predicts that the American people 'are going to rise up
and revolt' against the l a w breaker in this country. The nation, he concludes, has reached
the limit of its patience with
lawlessness and crime, . .Millions do not break the law even
though they are poor and many
crimes—among them embezzlement, forgery and fraud—are not
usually committed by slum dwellers. Moreover, c r i m e Is increasing in the slum-free affluent
suburbs."

ONCE IN AWHILE she'll show
me a number painting she's
working on, as much as if to
say 'Some day you'll be doing
things better than this."
Because an artist needs confidence, I a g r e e that someday. . . *
My artistic career in the last
year has been a curious mixture
of gloom, discouragement,failure and occasional success. I
recently tried an abstract work
on my daughter'sbedroomwall,
but I didn't like it and so I
filled in between the light purple
lines with light purple paint;
my wife s'aidit looked great.
I 'decided 'to 'titled "Study*1nJt
Purple,* and I lavishly signed
It in purple paint using a Q-tip.
I soon realized that any success I would have as an artist
would be because I kept my
thoughts and my work on a
simple plane. With loads of encouragement from my wife, I
advanced on more projects—
"Study In Purple H,» "Study in
Blue Sheen," and "Study in
White."
Within the past week the
Rinkers reached the final stages
of a construction p r o j e c t in
which a new bedroom at the
rear of the house became ready
for occupancy except for painting and flooring. Full of enthusiasm, my good wife gave me
the pitch about this being a
"fresh c a n v a s * on which to
display, finally, the true depth
of my ability without trying to
cover up anybody else's work.
It Is often hard to tell about
• that look in my wife's eye—I
never know whether it's a
sparkle of enthusiasm or a
gleam of cunning. But she was
so excited that I could hardly
wait to get at the paint.
We decided (she's my manager, and besides, I like to save
my thinking and planning for the
creativity of my artistic works)
'to do another 'Study In Purple"
on four different walls so that
those who came to view my
one-man show could f e e l
surrounded and t o t a l l y immersed in the grandeur of the
work.
TO AVOID TOO MUCH gloom,
we decided a "Study in White"_
would look nice on the ceiling
of the new gallery.
This all sounded good as I
took up my palette and started
to create. But the more I did
the more I got to thinking that
this "study* should be something different, something new,
something more In keeping with
a new room. I decided .on a
new theme — "Horizon* — with
the center of attention being the
convergence of the walls and
the celling. I could just Imagine
it'— theieeling of adeeppurple
landscape sweeping away into'
the distance to the white line
and sky at the horizon.
I was overcome with emotion
for a moment.
I was soon overcome with
wrath as I discovered my new
Idea wasn't all that workable.
An horizon, as I visualized my
great work, was absolutely level
and straight. I found that my
artistic talents weren't up to
painting a level and straight
horizon. In sheer desperation
I reached for masking tape and
pressed It on the wall so that
I could paint the sky down to
It.
But, alas, even that was not
much help. Paint ran down behind the tape, and when the tape
was pulled off the wall some of
the deep purple landscape came
with it. I touched up what I
could, then stood back and
looked at my "Horizon" with
some despair.
1
Then I brightened again. I
could again change the title of
my work and have it represent #
the mood of the world . . . to
put some real meaning into it.
Maybe I did have some artistic
ability and feeling after all. I
balled it * Battles on the Horizon."
My wife was overcome with
emotion, too, and she fell to
her knees to promise me she
would arrange time and rooms
for more such masterpieces.
And once again I wondered —,
Was that a sparkle or a gleam?

Autumn audit
By w. E : DOBSON
What did we do with the time that we saved
When we jacked up our clocks double speed?
Are the savings insured and safe In the vault?
Did the move fill an actual need?
Why did we tumble and stumble from bedIn the pre-dawn as darkness we braved?
Will someone please tell me just how we're ahead?
What happened to time that we saved?
Now that we managed that hour once again
In an effort to cheat the time zonesHas it mattered so much in arranging our day
* That we switch other times with our own?
What does the balance sheet tell that we did?
Outside of golf trophies engraved?
Just what do we prove to ourselves and the world?
Oh where are-the hours we saved?
The tides of the" ocean will still rise and fall
Earth turns on Its axis each day,
*N dock tinkers mostly are kidding themselves
Who would give or take hours away;
We are make believe folk in a fairy tale world,
*N many a gimmick we've craved,
But when all the froth and the foam disappears'
