Boy Scout
Street light
proposal on camporee
Bath agenda May 15-17
Officials in Bath Monday will
act on a proposal to Install street
lights In two township areas.
Originally Bath, Park Lake
and Chandler Estates were considered.
Many families In Chandler Estates, however, have Indicated
they were not in favor of the
street light proposal because of
the large number of yard lights
In the development.
About 40 persons attended a
special meeting last week for
open discussion of the proposal
and most indicated favor with it.
Duane Smith, supervisors, said
annual cost of the project would
be $2,262 for Bath and $2,700
for Park Lake,
The SU Johns city commission Monday night voted to indicate an air of cooperation with
the Natural Resources Commission even though doubts about
pollution and financing continues
to persist.
The subject was part of Monday
night's agenda because city officials have been advised they
must be represented at a hearing in Lansing Friday morning
May 15. The hearing is slated
as one action in a se; les which
ultimately could estab'-lsh that,
to some degree, the city :s guilty
of pollution as charged. Commissioners' earlier ha"d designated Weatherwa x and City Attorney Paul Maples as official
representatives,
Monday's action came following an extended period of time
and one previous hearingwiththe
NRC during which the city denied
charges of contributing to the
pollution of Hayworth Creek and
Lake Michigan. During that hearing, held In January, ,the city
doubted t h a t serious pollution
levels were being attained by
effluent from the pollution control plant and, In addition, indicated that present fiscal positions left little chance of raising sufficient funds to meet
NRC's construction demands.
At that time City Manager Harvey Weatherwax estimated that
further pollution control structures proposed by NRC could
range between$50,000and$100,000.
On both these matters the
commission continued to remain
firm, but after lengthy discussion
voted to Indicate their willingness to cooperate with the r e sources group. The vote came
after City Attorney Paul Maples
had pointed out that ultimately,
through legal^ procedures, the
city would be forced to meet
additlonal.pollution control measures.
Early in the discussion Commissioner Jean Rand tossed out
a motion proposing the commission give Maples and Weatherwax
authority to agree to the NRC's
demands, but ^her early attempt
died for lack of support.
After extended consideration,
however, she once again voiced
the motion, buffered by direction that Maples and Weatherwax
seek a revised time schedule
The Boy Scout's Chippewa District will hold Its annual Spring
Camporee at Camp Mapleton,
May 15, 16 and 17.

and Dr James Grost gave support.
The additional processes to be
installed to lessen pollution possibilities, according to the resources commission, must be
entirely completed and operating

dates have been set as deadlines

the ones alluded to in Mrs Rand's
motion.

kindergarten-only
school for 1970-71
School officials In St. Johns
are considering a plan which
calls for all kindergarten children in the district to attend one
school set aside for their age
group.
The Idea is based on an Innovative program at the Olive Center School in the southern area'
of the district.
At the Olive Center School,
which Is for kindergarteners
only, three teachers are involved in various subjects and
the children rotate among them
and receive more individual attention. Roger Feeman, principal of
Riley, East Olive and Olive Center schools told the St,;Johns
Board of Education last week
that some shifting of pupils in
the elementary grades will be '
necessary next year.
He also commented that he
would like to see the East Ward
School, an older elementary
school in St. Johns, become a
kindergarten-only school pat-
terned after the Olive Center
School.
Raymond Pa*T, president, indicated interest in the possibility
and asked Feeman to inform
the board what costs would be
involved^
. Feeman said costs woulu Involve replacing toilet facilities
and Installation of carpeting
which is considered an important
aspect of the program since children of that age spent much time
sitting on the floor.
He said he could have cost
figures by next month when the
board will either approve the
plan for next^year or go back
to an earlier plan Involving the
shuffling of pupils in grades kin(Story continued on Page 14-A)

Ballenger tells results
Licenses favored for snowmobiles,
antlerless deer hunting, says poll
In his campaign for the Republican nomination to the 30th
Senatorial District seat, State
Rep. William S. Ballenger last
week spoke to the Sleepy Hollow
Conservation Club In Greenbush
Township on hunting, firearm,
and snowmobile legislation and
outlined the so-called "SpencerRyan" plan for funding K-12 education In Michigan to the Grand
Ledge Rotary Club.
Ballenger revealed* to Sleepy
Hollow Club members the results of a preliminary tabulation
of some 1,850 responses to his
legislative poll on the question:
"Should the granting of licenses
to kill antlerless deer during the
regular'hunting season be drastically reduced or eliminated?1*
"My questionnaire indicated
that citizens in the 87th House
District—as well as those out-
side my dlstrictinGratiot.Montcalm, and Eaton Counties—favor
some sort of moratorium on
antlerless deer hunting in Michigan," said Ballenger. "Specifically, 1044 answered «Yes" to
the question, 392 answered "No,"
and 393 were "Undecided."
Ballenger added that, based on
the results of his questionnaire,
a strong majority of Clinton
County residents also favor the
licensing of snowmobile operators; the opening of public facilities such as parks to snowmobiling in hopes of easingabuse
of private property; and the implementation of an operating code
restricting use of snowmobiles,
especially during hunting seasons.
Ballenger told Grand Ledge
Rotarians: "Several requests
have been made of me for fig-

Did you hear the one about the guy who

We all have.
But for every get-rich scheme that
works, what you don't hear about are the
thousands of people who invest their nest

That's why so many people look for a
safe investment. Yet one that pays. U.S.
Savings Bonds are like that.

the first year; thereafter 5.20% to maturity). So Savings Bonds build your investment quicker than ever before.
And since Bonds are issued by the Government, they're about as safe a way to
make your nest egg grow as you'll find.
So when it comes time to cash in your
Bonds, you may not set the world of high
finance on its ear, but you won't end up
in the'poorhouse either.

Billboards target of state-wide
crack down on Visual pollution'
By TIM YOUNKMAN
News Staff Writer
Billboards along U. S. Highways 21 and 27 in Clinton County and their owners are being investigated In a major state -wide
crackdown on "visual pollution,"
the state Highway Commission
reported Wednesday.
Mike Jones, spokesman for the
Highway Commission, s a i d a
survey was conducted along Clinton County's primary highways,
but the main attention i s being
placed on the Interstate highway
violations.
"The program will be expanded
as we go along to include the
primary highways such a s US21 and US-27," Jones said.
The State Highway Dept. and
the attorney general's office a r e

1966 billboard control law which
bars signs within 660 feet of the
riRht-of-way of any Interstate or
primary highway, with certain
exceptions for business and industrial areas,'

within 660'feet of the right of-way, said Henrik E. Stafseth,
state highway director, in a p r e pared release.
"Some 26,000 were in rural
areas, principal target of the
control law,* the report stated.
Another Inventory completed

operating area of our willingness to work with them at the

said. "If other governmental

an emergency number, they

interests Gen. Tel
General Telephone has offered
to assist governmental units
within Its central division operating area in exploring the possible
use of "911" as an emergency
number, according to B. R.
Davis, central division manager.
Billed as a "universal emergency number" when it was introduced early in 1968 by the
Bell System, the "911" concept
Is not easily implemented. Nationally, only 72 cities, nearly
all of them small and none of
them in Michigan, have adopted
the short number to make it
easier for the public to report
emergencies.
Some of the problems which
must be solved before the "911"
concept can' be Introduced in a
community include; determining
which agencies will participate;
designating the responsibilityfor
manning the "answer bureau;"
determining how to finance the
bureau; and deciding on the area
to be served.
Davles also pointed out that the

budget for that purpose, Stafseth
said.
•We will probably have to wait
until the nextbudgetyear," Jones
said, 'before enforcement can
begin on the primary highways."
Att. Gen. Frank J . Kelley Is
not satisfied with the present
law and has asked members of his
staff, the highway dept., and the
legislature to revise the law and
the program to meet the problem.
Kelley noted that Mlcigan's
billboard control law is weaker
than those in at least 25 other
s t a t e s , which have collected
more than $3.7 million in federal bonuses for restricting billboards.
"We intend to review this law

the county. Wealch, in his first
year with the department, will
handle special problems of conservation regulations and will
police the county for violations.
Wealch and wife Joanne have
two children and reside at 314
E. Madison, DeWltt.
Both men explained some of
the problems recently encountered in their conservation work.
"The picking up of wild baby
animals by local residents has
been quite a problem,* Wealch
said. "There is a serious possibility of the animal biting the
'person'•* causing infe'6t'ibrin,'Snd ^
sickness.
"If they could leave these baby
animals alone, many of our problems would be solved," he said.
"In fact, it is against the law and
could bring a $100 fine and a
jail sentence," Wealch added.
Wealch indicated that he does
not like to issue a summons
for a first offense. "Most people
do not realize that these things
are against the law," he said.
Both men felt that if violations
continue, a stricter approach
will be taken.
Wealch said that the littering

The production was staged on
the street by peopfe actually
from the street and played before an audience of two to three
thousand people standing in open
lots and streets for five neigh-
boring blocks.
In 1951, when this original
production took place, this was
the heart of the nation's n a r cotic traffic. It was produced by
the East Harlem ProtestantParlsh arid sponsored by such people
as Jackie Robinson, Mayor Robert F, Wagner, and Nipsy Russell. It dealt with a problem
that existed then, and still exists today.
The play Is about Louie who
takes dope and his friend Porse
who has begun to give dope to
Louie's sister, Celee. Discovering .the threat to his sister, the
young man—jarred out of his
indifference and plunged Into dismay—sees in a nightmare what
is required of him.
Struggling against agonizing
need~ for dope, he seeks Porse
for a showdown. Porse ridicules
him and tempts him with more
dope. The end result of which is
dramatically powerful and unpredlcted.

Fluoride clinics
for Clinton children
Clinton County area schools
will hold summer topical fluoride
clinics for children, says Mrs
Luella Canfleld, R.N., chairman
of the program.
According to Mrs Canfleld,
600 children have been enrolled
in the program to be held at
four county locations.
The procedure consists offour
visits to the clinic at approximately two-day intervals. The
child's teeth are cleaned during
the firsi visit and a flouride

This technique .has been shown
to reduce tooth decay by about
40 per cent, Mrs Canfleld ex-

Remember snow?
'
It was only a mo nth ago
It m ay be difficult to believe,
but only a month ago Clinton County
people were mentally and physically
involved in winter of the worst kind.
Instead of April showers there was
April snow. Two of the year's biggest
snow storms had hit the area within
^ the space of a week. But finally,
the fishermen persevered. And so
did the campers and the baseball
nuts. Then the backyard barbecues
slowly came out of hibernation and
suddenly it was spring. And weatherwise, all was right with the world.

Williams Roads when the t.ip.of the~huge-plow 'Move'-1 into^ne-soft-rough-mud .

As one of the first steps In
meeting the challenges of the
(
70's, the Michigan Tourist Council has adopted a bold new slogan
designed to create more travel
to Michigan by out-of-state vacationers,
"The Michigans-the Almost
Islands of the Great Lakes" will
be the 1970-71 advertising campaign theme as the result of
official action by the Council
during its April meeting in Detroit.
"Never before has a campaign
theme so aptly described the
uniqueness of Michigan," said
Ron Gamble, Council chairman.
"Michigan is the only two-part
state in the union, and on the
map it appears to be islands
nestled in the midst of the magnificent Great Lakes."

"Among the states, competition for tourist dollars is fierce,"
Gamble said, "because modern
travel literally has placed the
world at the vacationer's doorstep."
"If we are to attain our goal
During its two-day session,
the Council reviewed proposals
for the 1970-71 advertising campaign, with final approval scheduled for a subsequent meeting.
The new slogan will serve as the
underlying theme of the new campaign, appearing in media advertisements and on Council literature.

Tervo was referring to the
annual so-called "gypsy paving
racket" in which bands of itinerate gypsies go house to house
about this time of year offering
to re-surface your drivewaywith

dollars.

A mother of a small child
faces an awesome problem. She
wants to encourage her youngster's natural curiosity (one of
our greatest learning experiences) yet at the same time
prevent disasters that may come
of such curiosity. Children are
born explorers and what better
place than the home surroundings for providing such fascinating areas of discovery. Low cabinets, easy to reach shelves and
drawers, and closets all containing bottles, boxes, cans and
jars invite an inquisitive child to
investigate, A youngster seldom
can distinguish between foods
and non-food items, either by
taste or odor.
With the huge number of aids
to help today's homemaker keep
her house and surroundings
clean, shining and Insect free,
there are bound to be a wide
variety of dangerous products
among them. Carelessly stored
medications, lotions, alcoholic
beverages and other non-food
Items in their attractive colors
and containers pique the average
child's inquisitiveness too.
It takes a bit of ingenuity,
time and effort, for one to devise methods and organize space
to set up "child-proof safety
areas" In most compact homes.
But if it can save your child's
life, or even his illness and
discomfort, it's worth while.
A few "rules" can help In
this organization.
Keep all household chemical
preparations in their original
containers. To a child, a soda
pop bottle, a cup or a bowl, is
something to drink from! That
red cleaning solution you've put
in a pop bottle, reminds him of
his favorite red "pop," so he
drinks it from the pop bottle.
Besides, the original container
carries information on the label
in the event of accidental ingestion.
Keep the product where you
can see it while using it. A
moment's pause to answer the
door bell or telephone is ample
,;^&^^^^{
time for a child to drink from
the container.
Never, store non-food Items
with food items. It's too easy
to pick up the wrong container
In the rush of meal time preparation. Pesticides, fertilizers,
paint thinners and such are best
kept locked up and out of the
kitchen.
Keep all medicines and lotions
locked in a medicine cabinet.
Pink, yellow, green or orange
pills are mighty tempting to the
exploring child. Never call medicines "candy" to entice a child
to take his necessary medication. He may grab a handful
when you aren't looking.
When discarding empty containers, be certain they are
empty. 'It's been found that todmany accidents occur when a
child reaches into a refuse containers in search of a bottle or
can to use as a toy. Too many
times he decides to taste the
contents.
Know how to reach your doctor, or local Poison Control Center, if the need arises.
The records of child poisoning
due t.o carelessness in the home
becomes more staggering each
year. Let your vigilance keep
you one step ahead of your
child's developing c u r i o s i t y .
Don't wait, stop right now and
check to be sure all harmful
products in your home are safely stored and well out of reach
of your child.
State alfalfa yields
#
may top estimates
Michigan farmers may be getting much higher alfalfa yields
than previously estimated in reports to census takers and the
federal-state crop reporting service.
Samples taken from 527 Michigan farms during the 1969 crop
season showed farmers taking
three cuttings averaging 4.09
tons an acre. Those cutting twice,
averaged 3.02 tons an acre, while
farmers making one cutting averaged two tons an acre, although
some regrowth may have been
grazed for pasture. Two tons
an acre is the estimate commonly used by the crop reporting
service in Michigan.
Samples were taken by the
Michigan Cooperative Extension
Service. All yields were measured on a dry matter basis—
the moisture being removed before the samples were weighed.
Of the 527 farmers in the
Alfalfa Booster Campaign, 244
made two cuttings. Another 95
farmers cut their alfalfa three
times and, as a result, got an
extra ton of alfalfa an acre. The
186 farmers cutting only once
had an average dry matter yield
of two tons an acre.
Donald Hillman, extension .
dairy specialist, and LeytonNel- '
son, extension crops and soils
specialist, are co-chairman of
the extension committee.
The three year project 'is designed to: (1) determine the
yields and quality of Michigan's
hay crop over a wide range of
farm conditions, and (2) to determine the potential yields and
quality of forage crops when
specified management practices
are controlled.
The chairmen report the computer analysis of the statewide
samples showed the yield was
positively related to the soil
test (amount of phosphorous and
potash on land) and an application of boron in the fertilizer.
Americans eat more than onefifth of their annual milk supply
as butter, and the long downward-trend of butter use in this
country has leveledtoff.

were only partially offsetting.
Compared with a year prey
vious, the mid-April index was
up 10 points (four per cent).
Prices'of beef cattle, calves and
hogs were considerably higher
than last year, and most other
major items were higher. Only

One Illinois grower who is a
consistent contest winner is John
Reiser, of Ashland in the west
central part of the state. He
has won first place for four consecutive years, then fourth in
1968, and second in 1969. Sixyear average pn contest plots
is now 73.6 bushels per acre,
and his farm average is comfortably about 50 bushels.
Reiser relies heavily on extensive farm record-keeping to
tell him which combinations of
cultural practices earn him the
most net profit per acre. His
two-year corn soybean rotation
is, he says, best for himbecause
he hasn't found continuous corn
or beans as agronomically sound
and productive on his rich prairie soils.
He applies fertilizer to all
his fields to meet their test
needs. In fact, all fields are
treated on an individual basis.
Liming is also based on Frequent soil testing. At planting he
shoots for not more than seven
beans per foot of row to give
his the optimum plant population
in his 30-inch rows, whose'width
he has settled on after years of
experimentation.
Reiser continuestoexperiment
but when it comesto weed control
he relies year after year on
Amiben to give him control of
both broadleaf and grassy weed

It has been estimated that an
automatic dishwasher cuts the
time in half that Mrs Average
Homemaker spends in front of
the sink. There are other benefits too—dishes are washed
cleaner and are more sanitary
than those washed by hand. Less
water is used because in most
homes it is necessary to run the
machine only once a day. Meanwhile dishes are quickly loaded
and the door closed ending the
clutter of dirty dishes in and
around the sink.

be disconnected and pushed out

To sum up: when shopping for
a dishwasher, you have a choice
of purchasing a portable, convertible, or a built-in unit. In
studying different models, consider, besides price, washing

to relate these factors to your

NATHAN J. DUBOIS, son of
Mr and Mrs Nathan L. DuBois
of 2352 N. Ovid Road, Ovid, has
been promoted to sergeant in
the U,S, Air Force.
Sgt. DuBois is a life support
equipment specialist at Perrin
AFB, Tex. He is assigned to a
unit of the Aerospace Defense
Command which protects theU.S,
against hostile aircraft and missiles.
The sergeant, whose wife,
Judy, is the daughter of Mr and

A PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT BY AM WAY CORPORATION
Recently il has become popular to compile and circulate lists purporting to show the
percentage of phosphate in detergents and allied cleaning products, The apparent purpose of
these lists is to encourage the reader to use low
phosphate content products in the interest of
cleaner lake and stream water.
While the intent of this activity is laudable,
the lists wc have seen are so full ijjf errors and
omissions--wc believe they arc l|est ignored.
Here is why we make this statement':
First: Amway makes 21 laundry and general cleaning products. Eleven contain no phosphate, 2 less than 2%, and the other 8 have
varying amounts according to the purpose they
are intended to serve. Yet one widely published
list shows only ONE listing of Amway •— using
simply the trademark "Amway" with no designation of the type of product and showing
"73,5% phosphate." To publish a list simply
showing a company name with a percentage
seems to us about as inaccurate as to publish
the name "General Motors — 400 h.p." in a
list of auto horsepower ratings.
Second: Another list compares Amway's
enzyme pre-soak product (TriZyme) with a
group of heavy duty and light duty detergents.
This is like comparing apples with bananas.
Products, if to be meaningfully compared on
the basis of phosphate content, should be carefully classified as to intended use. An enzyme
pre-soak should be compared with other enzyme
pre-soaks. a heavy duty detergent with other
heavy duty detergents, a dishwashing detergent
with other dishwashing detergents, etc.
Third: No mention of the amount of the
product one would expect to use is made1 in
most of the lists. A low phosphate detergent
used in lavish quantities in order to get clothes
clean may actually put considerably more phosphate in the water than a high phosphate product that need only be used sparingly because of
its high cleaning power. A low phosphate product used frequently might put much more phosphate into the water than a higher phosphate
product used only occasionally.
Fourth: One list recognized the fallacy of
comparing products merely on a percentage
basis, and set about to correct the error by
publishing a comparison based on grams of
phosphate used per wash cycle and parts per
million in the eflluent. Unfortunately the compiler of this list flunked his arithmetic, Grams
per wash were listed as Amway S-A-8: 39.9,
and included in the list were six others listed
as 18.!, 20.0, 23.5, 24.1. 26.1. and 27.1 grams
per wash cycle respectively. Our laboratory
carefully re-checked the work and found the
grams per cycle comparison is actually Amway
S-A-8: 36.8, and the six others mentioned above
are 38.4 instead of 18.1; 34.7 instead of 20.0;
51 instead of 23.5; 44.1. instead of 24.1; 34.2
instead of 26.1; and 37.4 instead of 27.1. In
addition, the use amount quoted for Amway
S-A-8 is almost double what many users actually
put in their machine, so for many users the
grams per wash load of Amway S-A-8 would
be closer to 20 for actual use dilutions.
A Better Guide. Wc suggest a good general
rule to follow regarding phosphate content in
cleaning products and detergents is< that with
present day brands, most products intended for
the same use contain relatively similar percentages of phosphate by weight. Classifications
are as follows:
Phosphate Content
Classification
expressed as % of PO,
Heavy duty laundry powders 30 — 45%
(Amway S-A-8 Plus —34.8%)
Light duty laundry powders
15 — 30%
Liquid hand dishwashing
detergents
less than 1%
(Amway Dish Dropr^- 0%;
Wednesday, May 13,v 1970
Amway L.O.C. Suds — 0%)
Machine dishwasher detergents 30 — 45%
(Amway Automatic Dishwashing
Compound —33.3%)
Liquid laundry products
0 —'l 0%
(Amway L.O.C. Regular — 0%;
Amway Germicidal — 0%;
v
Ifa&^°fner»^3»i \.
..
liia^uid'alPpulpose'cleTnefs
*" '"O — 1%
(Amway Zoom — 1.4%;
Amway Industroclean— 1.3%;
Amway Car Wash — 0%)
Enzyme pre-soaks
about 50%
(Amway Tri-Zyme — 54.2%
Water softening products
about 80%
(Amway Water Softening
Compound — 83.8%;
Amway Smashing White — 22%)
But note this: The above percentages reflect phosphate content expressed as percent of
PO4. The phosphate compound used in these
products when so expressed is only about 33%
phospjiorous, the element all the talk is about.
Therefore, total phosphorous content of the
products is about one-third that shown above.
What You Can Do about it. We suggest
that if you have a concern about phosphate getting into streams and lakes the following would
be a common sense approach:
1. Work with your local governments to
encourage all municipalities in your area to
build 3-stage sewage disposal systems as soon
as possible. Hundreds of industrial and household chemicals and pollutants from human
wastes are going into streams now because of
inadequate sewage treatment facilities. The time
has come to build facilities to clean up a// of
our sewage water and control the total problem.
It is estimated removal of phosphate and certain other chemicals from effluent water of a
3-stage disposal system can be accomplished for
an operating cost of less than $3. per person
per year. This is a broader and more effective
solution to the problem than reformulating
detergents and other household products, because at least half of the phosphate in sewage
comes from human wastes, and reformulated
detergents won't change that.-Also, reformulation of cleaning products with phosphate subr
stitutes that totally eliminate the phosphate, even
if technically and economically feasible (which
it presently is not) might result in only substituting other ingredients with other problems
when the effluent reaches streams.
2. Since phosphate content products are
used principally in the laundry, it may be possible to dispose of your washing machine water
in another way than through the public drain.
You may be accomplishing this already, since
correctly built septic tanks probably introduce
no phosphate into public waters.
3. If you are connected to a city sewer
system which does not have complete disposal
facilities, and phosphate nutrients in streams
are considered a serious problem in your community, you can use a general purpose nonphosphate liquid detergent to do your laundry
such as Amway's unique "L.O.C." You must
be prepared for a lower level of dirt and soil
removal from clothes, however, and you may
have to resort to some of the laundering techniques of bygone years such as overnight
soaking and boiling.
4. Amway offers a full line of cleaning
products carefully formulated for specific purposes., Amway's high performance products
used according to directions will produce good
results even when used sparingly. When nothing
but phosphate containing products will do the
job. Amway's products of that type can be re-
lied upon to do the work most economically
and with no need to use excessive quantities.
What Is Amway Doing about Pollution?
Amway is deeply concerned, like any good
citizen. Here is Amway's "clean water^program:
1. Even though there is a difference of
scientific opinion as to whether the elimination
of phosphates in detergents will have a significant effect on eutroptiication of lake's, Amway
chemists are actively evaluating phosphate substitutes for detergent use that will be economic,
efficient, and not cause unforeseen worse problems than phosphate is alleged to cause now.
2. Amway now offers a number of nonphosphate cleaning products that can be used
for most cleaning tasks. With regard to heavy
duty laundry products, Amway has contacted
all possible sources in the free world for
phosphate substitutes. Satisfactory substitutes
are presently not available in commercial
quantity, but when and if available, Amway
will produce quality laundry products using
such substitutes in the amount that the supply allows. Meanwhile, every effort will be
made to limit the phosphate content of laundry products to a degree consistent with
satisfactory performance.

CHARLES H, BOOTS HI, 20,
whose parents live on R-l, St.

3. Amway has long been in the forefront
in the field of promoting clean water. Amway
marketed detergent products with biodegradable
surfactants as much as five years before most
of the industry converted. Surfactants are an
indispensable ingredient in any detergent product, and present day surfactants used in all detergent products are of a type that can be
consumed by bacteria in sewage plants and
streams and converted to harmless materials.
4. Sortie confusion exists in understanding
the new terminology regarding pollution matters. For instance, biodeRradability of surfactants
is technically an entirely different matter than
acceleration of plant growth in lake waters by
excess nutrients such as phosphate. Many new
terms have only recently come into popular
use, such as eutrophtcation, ecology, thermal
pollution, oxygen depletion and algal nutrients.
This necessitates more exact definition of formerly used terms, such as biodegradability of
surfactants, Amway will conduct an educational
program to provide its distributors and customers
with better understanding of these terms. Future
label and advertising copy will include the new
terminology with today's connotations.
5. Amway suggests citizens keep these
matters in proper perspective. Cleaning up the
pollution of our environment — water, air and
land — is a great challenge for all of us in this
decade. It is a serious problem, .with world-wide
ramifications. To arouse public interest and
support, predictions of impending disaster are
being widely published. Facts are not always
being separated from opinions. Industry and .
government become easy scapegoats. But this
must not lead to hastily contrived programs and
actions that may actually worsen the situation by
using funds that could be better spent on well
planned long term solutions. We all want a
clean environment. We will achieve it best by
well reasoned and well planned actions based
upon scientifically proven facts, not by hasty
actions based on emotional speculation.

Polluting the St, Clair
Interesting Items
from the Files of the
Clinton County News
By JIM FIT7GERALD
—j
Our man in Vietnam
News on the national level in recent days
has been anything but pleasant. Names like
Cambodia and Kent State have not only
caused apprehension and sorrow, but they
have further riled the muddy waters of
unrest across the country. That regenerated dissent has clear indications of dashing whatever hopes existed for a calm
summer.
We do not like the war, nor do we supp o r t ' t h e violent tactics and rebellions of
maniac - like protestors. But in this big
mess there is one faction we strongly support. He's the man in the chow line, in
the rice paddy or the one laying battered
on a Vietnamese hillside.
There can be little question that our
young people serving in Vietnam would
rather be home and, in our mind, there
can be even less doubt that if they were
home they would be looking with disgust
on the antics of their student counterparts.
The man under the helmet is only too well
aware that violence is fruitless. He has
been taught and trained to kill but for those
who must employ their skill, life is never
quite the same. The likelihood of their
participation in campus demonstrations is
small.
Our man in Vietnam is not there because he enjoys it. He's there because he
has a sense of obligation and a motivation to complete that duty. He is not demonstrating or - rebelling. He is plodding
ahead with hope for the day when he can
return to the. life intended for him by
American beliefs and traditions.
It is unfortunate that in these days
many members of the welcoming home committee stand with c o n t o r t e d faces and
clenched fists. What is eveli l e s s fortunate
is the probability that these E people, despite
their defiant appearances, have less endurance to meet society's challenges.
The man in Vietnam calls this endurance
guts. He should know. He's got plenty.
STERLING, m . , GAZETTE: "School vandalism is a
serious and growing problem. . . One school, however, r e ports that is has virtually eliminated vandalism by a simple procedure. The anti-vandalism program at suburban
Park Elementary School in Alhambra, California, involves
the frequent, random checking of the premises by parents,
usually in husband-and-wlfe pairs, during weekends. The
20 pairs of-parents who are voluntarily participating are
not armed and are not authorized to make a r r e s t s . But
the mere fact that checks are beirtg made is serving as
a deterrent to youngsters who consider an unbroken pane
of glass to be a personal affront. The program is costing
the taxpayers nothing, although it does require the outlay
of a little time and efforton the part of concerned citizens."
The current crusade against
pollution i s so popular I am
worried that everyone will be so
busy picking up beer cans they
won't have time to eat apple pie,
kiss mothers and paste flags on
bumpers,
I don't mean to be cynical.
It's just that now they have
banned fishing in St Clair River
because the fish, like cigarets,

The Editor
By WARREN E. DOBSON
The editor's an oracle
Behind his green eye-shade,
He daily patrols the hen roost
Till all the eggs are laid;
He measures, counts, 'n scrambles 'em,
With neatness and dispatch,
Sometimes he sits on 'em awhile
To find which ones will hatchl
The editor is an ogre,
With his blue pencil high,
He gives to some the breath of life,
Many others he lets die;
He clips, 'n trims, 'n stretches,
To fill a given space,
He adds a pregnant paragraph,
Or draws a funny face.
The editor's a "fly by night,"
He flits from here to there.
He covers countless meetin's.
To get the proper air;
On each important issue
He tells us how to vote,
Sometimes he proves a winner,
And often he's a goat.
The editor's a fathead \

Most anyone can see,
He'd do a heap sight better
To give his job to me;
No silly inhibitions
Would fill this wise old head,
I'd quick meet every deadline,

questionable conclusions drawn
For example, black students
are less likely than whites to
attend schools that have wellstocked libraries or which offer
advanced courses in subjects
such as science and language,
and are more likely to be in
overcrowded schools than white
students. Also- black students,
according to the 1967 Report,
are more likely than white students to have teachers with low
verbal achievement, to have substitute teachers, and to have
teachers who are dissatisfied
with their school assignment.
The education section of the "Report of the National Advisory
Commission on Civil Disorders"
(The Kerner Report) of 1968
alsd points out these and other
important facts to be considered
before formulating an opinion on
this matter.
The purpose of a newspaper
ought to be to provide the public
with the best possible knowledge
on all sides of an tissue and to
offer its opinion in clearly
labeled form. The poem "Integration" in my opinion does not
live up to this purpose.
Paul W. Merritt
84 Midland
Highland Park, Michigan
We entered what was basically
a civil war. We entered on the
side of the minority of the Vietnamese. We have destroyed a
way of life mainly rice paddy
farming and have offered no new
way of living.
Through our "foreign policy,"
our "military strategy" we are
trying to "Americanize" a country that did not understand, did
not want, did not need, and would
not accept Americanization. We
are. trying to force free election
means in an area that has no
background, no history of, or
desire for free elections.
We are attempting to force a
democracy by the killing of thousands of Vietnamese people In a
foreign country.
The future for South Vietnam
Is bleak. We have driven the
rural people from the land Into
the city that has no way of life
except that on a dependence on
relief. Our military live In an
outdated world.
I say let's get out and let
them solve their own way 6f
life. Some say we are fighting
Communism but the heart of
Communism is Russia and China.

were in possession ofmarijuana,
an offense punishable in Michigan
by up to ten years in jail!
If charged and found guilty of
this violation, a felony, we would
be ineligible to serve in the
Legislature. Conviction should
be easy. Most of us would admit
our guilt and there were many
witnesses.
We received a marijuana cigarette in the mail, unsolicited,
glong with some Instructions on
how to use it and a few words
describing the benefits of its use.
At first, many of us doubted it
was really marijuana but p r e liminary tests indicate it was the
real McCoy and apparently of
high quality.
W h o e v e r sent it to us is
guilty of a more serious crime
with a mandatory minimum sentence of twenty years. Various
legislators are guilty of the same
offense having passed the cigarette on to an unauthorized p e r son, in some cases, it ,was to a
reporter who came around and
in other cases to another legislator who said he was going to
turn it over to the authorities.
^Here's something interesting.
We would no^have been anymore^
guilty had we gone ahead and
smoked the cigarette! Possession
is a more serious offense ,than
use.
I don't believe the shaggy,
rather intolerant group of White
Panthers who showed up at the
Capitol to encourage us to use the
cigarettes and to legalize m a r ijuana.
But the tactic they used c e r tainly brought home to the Legislature one of the points being
n\ade by a d v o c a t e s of some
changes in our laws regarding
marijuana. Our present laws a r e
not uniformly and strictly enforced.
At least there are a number
of us who hope they will not be
strictly enforced in our cases!

Clickity-dick . . . buzz-rrup
By RON KARLE, Editor
I've decided to change telephone companies.
This decision was made In a
fit of frustration the other day
when I tried to call all the way
to Bath.
That's the one'in Michigan.
I dialed everything properly
like it says in the bookand settled back to hear the instrument respond with the tradi- .
tional click-click, click-clickf
click, click, and a clickity - ,
click.
Then a buzz-rrup.
And dead silence.
Knowing that Bath is about
17 miles away and that getting
their attention in this electronic
age isn't to be taken lightly,
I went through the entire p r o cess again.
I counted the correct number
of clicks and the clickity click and even the buzz-rrup.
More silence.
^So I dialed "O."
When Miss O finally re sponded (apparently I caught .
her near the end of her coffee

TAKING FIVE
A best seller
h
By RON HUARD
If Time magazine is right,
there is a whole lot of buying
going on but very little reading.
In a footnote to one of their
stories in a recent issue, Time
pointed out that the King James
version of the bible continues
to set the pace in the bookbuying field by a substantial
margin.
Now, as long as I can remember the bible has held this spot
but I've often tried to'figure
out who does all the bible buying.
When did you last buy a bible?
Or receive one as a gift? A
bible is a family treasure, it
seems, and once one makes the
ranks it's handed down and„
down and all the while it collects
family notes and memorabilia
between its covers.
It comes to religion. In fact
I haven't read any more from
the bible than what the good
nuns and priests encouraged as
they tried to raise my grades
to a passing level. But it seems
strange that so many bibles continue to be sold and yet the
messages don't seem to be
getting a c r o s s . Maybe just
having a bible among the books
In the family library is^a status
symbol. Maybe it appears there
to neutralize the presence q$
"Valley of the Dolls" and T h e
Arrangement." * *
It's hard to say w h a t the
reason is that keeps the bible
at the top of the sales charts',
but whatever force it is it
seems to be working. From the
looks of the way t h i n g s are
going, it's too bad our reading
doesn't match our buying.
OPINION
COMMENTS FROM OTHER PAPERS
But on the sales charts bibles
continue to lead the pack. Obviously the G i d e o n s must be
supplying a heck of a lot of
motel and hotel rooms to keep
the book in its top spot.
GAFPNEY, S.C., LEDGER: "So manypeopleareyelltng
stop the war in Vietnam and'the screams seem to be aimed
exclusively at the United States, Why don't they aim some of
their yells at the other side,' too, and curve a few toward
Russia and China? Let's be fair about it. It lakes two to
start a war and two to stop it. This the protestors don't
seem to realize. It's Uncle Sam do this, and Uncle Sam
do that."
In any event* there's*a whole
mess of bibles being spread
across our population and it
appears to me that if we were
reading this like we read some
of the best sellers a few of
our traditional values might
gain some support.
I'm not a fundame'ntaHstwhen
SALEM, Ore., STATESMAN: "The new Boeing 747. . .
jet is proving lh flight tests to be quieter than Its smaller
predecessors. This will be welcome news to the people
who live around airports. In addition* the planes carry
two to three times as many people. This will mean fewer
flights to carry the same passenger load, with less jet
fuel exhaust. It Is extremely'unusual these days to get any
form of progress wHh less pollution, but the Boeing 747
will accomplish just that."

returns to her post
By WILLIAM S. BALLENGER
Stats Representative
i S;
' Anumber of bills and resolutions concerning new rights and
responsibilities
for
young
people have recently been introduced in the Michigan House
of Representatives.
House Joint Resolution A,
which has already been passed
by the House and sent to the
State Senate, would place on
the ballot, in the coming November election, a proposed
constitutional amendment to
lower the minimum voting age
from 21 to 18,
Twice, in recent years, Michigan voters have soundly defeated proposals to lower the
voting age. Most recently in
1*966, the needed constitutional
amendment was defeated by a
roughly 2 to 1 margin.
House Joint Resolutions CCC
and III, if approved by the
^voters, would add an elected
student representative to the
governing boards of state-supported colleges and universities, while House Joint Resolution DDD would add a student
member to the State Board of
Education, House Joint Resolution EEE would create a students' grievance committee to
hear complaints about expulsions and suspensions and other
university actions.
• THESE MEASURES would
Hardly affect the major policy
decisions in higher education,
since they add a single student
'vote to eight-member boards.
But a student representative
might well serve as a spokesman and ombudsman, bringing
youthful thought and sentiment
tfa bear on the policy-determining process, and giving the
student body in general a clearer voice and a stake in the
orderly operation of a university.
v
One controversial proposal,
House Bill 4303, would permit
students to vote, if otherwise
qualified, at their college r e s idences, rather than their
hometowns. Opponents of this
measure argue that students
are only temporary residents
of college towns and have little
real concern for the future of
such communities.
.On the other hand, it could
be contended that many nonstudent citizens are also r e s idents of communities for four
years or less, with no one
disputing their right to vote
there. Most students look upon
their colleges as their residences, and many do not return
to their parents' communities
upon graduation.
In most instances today, we
hqld persons .accused of crimes
responsible for their conduct
as adults at age 17. (If juvenile
oo.urts waive jurisdiction, even
15-year-olds may be tried as
adults.) Yet while the U.S. Constitution guarantees a trial before a jury of one's "peers"
or equals, our statutes insist
that jurors be 21 or older—in
most cases, much older.
' Whether or not this is truly
constitutional has never been
tested in the higher courts.
But HB 4241 would erase a
substantial portion of this discrepancy be permitting 18-
year-olds to serve as jurors
on a voluntary basis.
House Bill 4240 would lower
to 18 the age at which persons
can circulate certain types of
petitions and serve as precinct
delegates to political conventions. This change, in my opinion, is long overdue and should
be the least controversial measure in the entire "Youth Bill
of Rights" package.
PERHAPS, IN a sense, both
political parties are guilty of
inconsistent p r a c t i c e s—the
courting of youth with one hand
and the closing of doors * to
them with the other—is merely
a reflection of a larger hypocrisy that • permeates our
society as a whole. Perhaps
the essential questions to be
answered are these:
Are we making the so-called
"Generation Gap" a reality
rather than a catchword by
instilling, in young people, a
growing sense of alienation

from the basic Institutions of
higher learning that are so
directly concerned with youth?
Is there a serious and widening discrepancy between the
demands we make upon persons
aged 18 through 20—as individuals and as citizens—and the
degree of Individual citizenship
we permit them to practice?
More bluntly, are we r e quiring that young people in
this age group act like a d u l t s while treating them like children?
These are questions that only
the people of Michigan can answer. The key points in the
Youth Bill of Rights must be
approved by the voters this
November to become a reality
and will be placed on the ballot
only if approved by two-thirds
of the members of each house
of the Legislature, So in the
last analysis, both directly and
through their elected representatives, the citizens must pass
judgment on these proposals.

Political P a r t i e s
Five different political parties have been represented in
the presidency of the United
States — Federalist, D e m ocrat-Republican, Democrat,
Whig and Republican.
The Maple Valley Lions Club
in co-operation with the Michigan Optometric Association will
conduct an eye screening program for adults and students at
Fulton High School this week.
Hours will be from 9 a.m. to
noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.,
Thursday through Saturday.
A special trailer, called a
"sightmobile" will be headquarters for the vision screening
program, which will be sponsored by the Michigan Optometric Association, an educational and research organization.
It must be noted that vision
screening is not an eye examination and that its sole purpose is
to determine whether or not a
person requires further professional eye care. Everyone who
participates in tlie screening program will be given a card, which
will indicate whether or not the
screening has revealed any defects, and if a complete vision
examination is recommended.
Although eye screening is for
adults as well as high school
students, Lions Club President
James Glass urges parents to
