Second part of series qefihes millage necessity
Editors note: The following is the 2d of 4
articles explaining the millage situation in
the St Johns School District.
^
After careful deliberation on all aspects of
financial and operational'problems for the
1974-75 school year, the St Johns Board has
concluded that an additional mill in
operational property tax is necessary to
support the program for the coming year.
Accordingly, the board has resolved to ask
the voters to approve 16.5 mills for one year
on the ballot in the annual election June lu. '
The 16.5mills in effect will be a renewal of
the 15.5 mills in existence the past 2 years
plus an additional mill.
The additional mill is required mainly
because of the effects of inflation. The extra
mill plus a State Aid increase of $1 per mill
per child will yield an additional $400,000 to
the School District.
Since the expenditures for the 1973-74 year
will total approximately $4,270,000, the
$400,000 increase will be less than 10 percent
over this year's expenditures.

MEETING STATE
REQUIREMENTS
In 1971 the Michigan Legislature passed
the "Mandatory Special Education Act"
.which went into effect the 1973-74 school
year. Generally, the Act requires each
school district to serve the needs of all
handicapped children from birth through
TOTAL LEVY LOWER
If the June 10 election for 16.5 mills is
successful, the total levy for schools in the St
Johns district would be 28.3 mills. This
would be the lowest millage rate since 19691970. The total rate for three years 1970
through 1972 was 29.5 mills. In 1973 it was
reduced to 28.5 mills because of a reduction
in the debt levy from 6 mills to 5mills.
They're tops at
St Johns High School
SALARIES TOTAL $3,100,00
The effects of inflation on a school budget
are many and varied. Over 80 percent of any
school budget is spent on salaries. In the St
Johns district there are 430 people on the
payroll, which this year totals $3,100,000.
The employees are represented by 5
separate associations which negotiate with
the Board for the next year's salaries and
working conditions.
Since negotiations have not yet started
with these groups, it is as yet impossible to
detail the amounts which will be needed for
this purpose.
ADDEDCOSTS
The introduction and rapid growth of girls
athletics has resulted in increased costs for
extra-curricular activities. Three years ago
there were'no girls interscholastic athletic
teams. Next year there will be organized
girls teams in swimming'basketball, tennis,
track, volleyball and Softball competing on
interscholastic basis.
Other costs which have rapidly escalated
the past few months and show no signs of
leveling off are gasoline of which over
100,000 gallons are used, up over 250 percent,
paper up over 75 percent, textbooks and all
paper and office supplies up approximately
40 percent.
Utility companies have warned that light,
power and heat will increase over 40 percent
in the coming year, In fact, every commodity which schools use, labor, materials,
and all supplies will cost substantially more,
STUDENT DISTRIBUTION
Another problem is the unequal
distribution of students throughout ihe
district. Although the total enrollment of the
district (this year 4409) is hot bxpected to
increase totally next year, there will need to
be adjustments. The birthrates during the
early 1960's were unusually high. These
children are now in grades 5 through 9 which

Bos, in his show-and-tell

property because he "wanted to

But it wasn't purely altruistic,
he noted: if he ever sells out'to a

a definite financial asset.
Then it was bargaining time.
Bos, who moved to his farm 6
years ago and also works for the

the township $18,000.
Suggesting the township owed
him a favor, he requested that
risers be built into the sewer
line.
He lamented he'd been "too
naive" before to know risers
would be necessary for
development, adding he would
lose $15,000 because that's what
it would .cost a developer to

the back room alone of the
present Andy's'is 25x60.
The operation of the 2
locations continued until 1953
when an addition was made to
lhe highway location and the
Clinton Ave store was closed.
Since that lime, 4 other additions have increased the size
of the building to over 12,000
square feet.
. In the 1969, the most recent
addition was completed and the
building was reversed to accomodate a larger parking area
and to improve the looks of the
store.
Following the death of Dorr
(Andy) Anderson in 1969, the
primary-eupervision of the store

St Johns, in its 2nd year of the
the sport, won 6 events, leaving
5 for the lst-year DeWitt crew.
In other action recently, St

spot in the recent Bath Invitational by taking a 3rd place
medal mile run with a time of
6:14.
The St Johns-DeWitt encounter saw the visiting Redwings capture the 3'field events
before pulled the reigns in the
running events'
There DeWitt won 5 of 8 races
and narrowly missed getting
another - the 880 medley relay - that would have won the meet.
The hosts were disqualified on a
faulty exchange and finished a
couple pf strides behind the
Redwings.
Gina Mazzolini of St Johns
was the only double winner of
the day. She took the high jump
at 4-2 and the 440 yard run in

platted in 1837 but this passed
out of existance after a few
years. The land of Captain Scott
which lay north of the Looking
Glass River was finally platted,
by him as a village in 1841. This
was the county seat of. Clinton
County until 1857..
Although the Campeau
trading post was active on the
site of present day Maple
Rapids from 183&'s, it was not
until 1853 that the'village was
platted. In the 1880's the
damming of the river near
Maple Rapids made it possible
for a steamboat to operate on
the Maple River. A stagecoach
connected the village with St
Johns.
Duplain Village, or Mapleton
as it was later called, is one of
the oldest settlements in Clinton
County. The Rochester colony
group sent out men to find a
suitable area for settlement.

came to the area.
It is interesting to note that
William Russell, who had come
with J.C. Sever to the area to
find a proper spot for the
colony, made it to the land office only a few minutes before a
Jand speculator intent on buying
Ihe same land walked into the
office. Russell and Sever had
spent the night in a tavern'on
the way to the Bronson. land
office, and overheard the
speculator discussing his find
along the Maple River. Russell
. was determined to win the prize
and rode several horses to
exhaustion. He made the last
ten miles in 45 minutes.
Elsie was platted by the
Sickles Brothers who had
moved there from Craven Mills.
At the turn of the century the
area boasted a large banking
concern, a flour mill, hotels and
a newspaper, f'The Elsie Sun,"
and a grain elevator on the Ann
Arbor railroad line.
Greenbush township was at
one time a manufacturing
center. David Sevey operated a
factory which made chairs and
spinning wheels. The Davies
brothers, who by-passed St
Johns because it was."full of
stumps and fires", operated a
fanning mill and milk safe
company. These products were
known* all over the state of
Michigan. At one time their
factory produced 500 fanning
mills and 200 milk safes a year.
A foundry that made plows,
cultivators and drags was
operated by Steven Pearl.
Eagle township, was among
the first townships to receive
settlement but the village itself
was not platted until 1873, when
George McCrumb platted his
land, even building a railroad
• depot at his own expense to
assure prosperity for the
community.
Westphalia was platted in
1883, but long before that it was
the heart of $ thriving- and
prosperous community. The
large Church of St Mary which
could seat 1500'people Was
• completed in 1869. It was
•considered one of the finest
• churches In the state and quite
rare for a congregation outside
a large city to have such a
magnificent edifice. It was said
that it was not uncommon "for
'2000 persons to attend services
at that church.
The Wacousta settlement
owes its name to an Indian girl,
Chief Pontiac's rebellion
threatened settlers in Michigan
and an Indian girl named
Wacousta knowing of Pontiac's
plans sought out Major Gladwin
at the Detroit garrison and
saved the settlers. For "her
bravery, she was remembered
by Clinton County settlers
naming the area for her. *
' The city of St Johns covers a
portion of Bingham township. It
can be noted that Bingham
township was not considered a
sanitary location because of the
large swamp and marsh areas.
In the year 1853 a party of four
.state officials examined the line
of the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad for the purpose of
purchasing land along the line
for land speculation. These men
were: John Swegles, Porter
Kibby, E.C. Whittemore, and
H.S. Mead. This company of
buyers enlisted Robert Higham,
chief engineer of the railroad in
their enterprise. The land was
purchased and later Swegles
added lo the tract. Men were
hired and the clearing of lots
and the surveying of land
began. One of the first ventures
was the errection of a sawmill
in 1854. Just prior to that a
frame house was built by
Cornellius Vrooman known as
the "Whittemore House". This
structure served as "home" to
the men who worked at
clearing the land and starting
the city. Others followed and the
city flourished. In 1857 it was
made the county seat, The
railroad and business area as
well as the county transactions
brought settlers to the area very
quickly.

LIVING AMONG
THK NAVAJOS
A, perfect May day, an early
brunch with approximately 90
women making new friends and
renewing old acquaintances,
and a very interesting program
was shared during a special
meeting in Fellowship Hall of
the Elsie United Methodist
Church, Wednesday morning.
Guests present from the
following area Methodist
Churches of St Johns, Ovid,
Shepardsville, Bannister,
Ashley, Duplain, Greenbush
and Chapin were seated at
attractive tables decorated with
green and yellow streamers,
spring flowers and miniature
Maypoles as centerpieces. The
flowers were all furnished by
Mrs Rose Slovak of Bannister
and the Blakely family of Elsie.
Mrs Duane Green, president
of the Elsie United Methodist
Women welcomed the guests;
"Happy Birthday" was sung to
Mrs Mary Waite; all joined in
singing "Good
Morning,
Friends"; and Mrs Ethel Wells
of St Johns received the door
prize.
Table grace was given by Mrs
Ethel Stull and brunch was
prepared and served by the
local church activities committee with a hostess at each
table. Announcements and roll
call by churches were followed
with devotions by Mrs David
Litchfield.
As program chairman, Mrs
Margaret Grubaugh introduced
the Rev and Mrs Harold Homer
of 'Portland, who 'presented
their own story of "Working
Among the Navajos" with
colored slides to elaborate their
remarks.
The Rev Homer'and his wife, *
former St Johns residents, took
a sabbatical leave for the
Conference year 1972-73 and
traveled and worked in 5
mission areas of the United
Methodist Church.They were in Anchorage,
Alaska and worked for the
Alaska Children's Services and
also experienced a month at the
Florida United Methodist
Children's Home.
They spent 2 weeks at the Red
Bird Mission in the Appalachian
region of southeastern Kentucky and later on John's Island
just off the coast of Charleston,
South Carol)na, where they
worked with the Rural Mission
Inc, with the depressed black
people.
They chose the new Navajos
Methodist Mission School in
Farmington, New Mexico for
their talk and prefaced it with
colored slides of favorite scenes
depicting the 104th Psalm with
Mrs Homer as'the reader.
They both greeted the
audience with "Ya ta hey" the
Navajos' "Hello". Rev Homer
related some of the history or
the Navajos who were a roving
and predatory people settling in
the Southwest during the 16th
and 17th centuries. They
became agricultural people
raising herds of sheep, goats
and cattle for sustenance and
also adopting Pueblo arts such
as weaving rugs and blankets,
pottery, basketry and silver and
turquoise jewelry.
They live in windowless
hogans (comical houses of logs
covered with earth and often
came with only a stone wall or
brush shelter to protect them
from the wind.)

Sex life of the
Polish Frog
l^K^V^l^W^H^n^V^tt^lH^lt^ll^K^'*^
Is it worth $6000 to you to know about the bi-sexual behavior of
Polish frogs?
'v
If not, how about $20,000 to get more information on the blood
groups of Polish pigs .. ./or $20,424 to have some college professor
study the mating calls of Central'American toads.
Try a few mor.e and maybe you'll find something that you'd be •
willing to spend money to know.
Like $121,000 to find out why so many people say "ain't"
. .. $19,000 to find out why kids fall off of tricycles . . . $70,000 to
classify and determine the population biology of Indo-Australian
ants.
_i
BELIVE IT or not, this United States government of yours has
appropriated funds for the above studies. This isn't an Art Buchwald column. It is a lisbof appropriations approved by Congress
for various bureaus and agencies.
There's one tucked away you might approve . . . if yqu're going
to live with the Australian aborigines. The government spent
$70,000 to conduct research on the smell of aborigines. We'd guess
the conclusion for all-this money was that... like all other perspiration . . it stinks. We figured all that out for nothing.
OUT IN Los Angeles, the government is spending $203,979 to
extend travelers aid to migrants who get lost on freeways. If you're
not a migrant, it appears, you'll just have to take up residence if
you can't find your way off.
An Arizona congressman sent this list of actual government
expenditures to his constituents asking for. help in getting things
like this under control.
,
, ^ L L1
One congressman, we'll grant, can't do much. But there are 435
congressmen and 100 senators down there who should be able to do
something.
YOU HAVE to wonder if Congress really has any control left
over this gigantic government of ours.
Worse than that, you wonder if Congress really even cases. If it
did, something would happen. At election time they make great
speeches but apparently do nothing about it when they get back to
the big city.
Men getting $100,000 worth of salary and benefits apparently
spend more time, using these benefits and seeing that no boats are
rocked than getting down to.^the. business of cutting this sort of
nonsense out of government. ii.n-«..*
' - -> ^

ana: a

Dile of bags make "2 trucfcload. ^
SHOULD ANY congressional committee re'ally want to makeprogress, it could pick one department, scrutinize its budget, slash
it to the bone and say to the rest of government... Watch Out!
You may be next.

Might ask Congressman Al Cederberg about this next time he s
around. Then ask him what he's really done about curing any d£this terrible waste.
