Redwing Athletic Assn. attempts
to mend school, city park rift
A c t i v i t i e s of the recently
formed Redwing Athletic Assn.
have precipitated a series of
discussions between that group,
city officials and members of
the St. Johns school board, and
outlooks early this week indicated that misunderstandings
surrounding the current athletic
field s'hould dissipate.
Formation of the Redwing Athletic Assn. was conceived for
the purpose of seeking ways to
build up the facilities at the
football field located in the City
Park.
Initial suggestions included the
possibilities of baseball diamonds and practice fields as
well as shower rooms and im-
provements on restroom facilities and increased seating capacity.
The group was knitted together
after an apparent split by city
and school authorities suggested
discontinued use of the present
athletic field.
According to both city and
school authorities, however,
there was never any degree of
intent to terminate the current
year-to-year leasing arrangement on the field.
There was a breakdown in
agreeable points necessary for
a long-term arrangement and
this action brought about the
formation of the new'association.
Since its formation, the group
has met with members of the
park board and school board on
different dates and the discussions have alleviated much misunderstanding.
Officers of the group are:
John Hopko, president; Carl
Nobis, vice-president and Willis
Hettler, Jr., secretary-treasurer.
While the group Is interested
in fostering a long-term lease
arrangement they are concerned
with immediate improvements
at the field and have Indicated
belief that much of the desired
changes could be accomplished
with volunteer help and contributions from private citizens.
At present the football field
is leased to the school for $2,400
per year. Limited use of the
parking lot and practice fields
are included in the agreement
and maintenance is administered
by the school.
Another desire of the Redwing
group Is to insure that expenditure of the rental money would
be d i r e c t e d toward improvements and maintenance of the '
area.

Misery loves company, they
say, and while moving from one
community to another doesn't
always reach fhe miserable point,
It is consoling to meet and talk
with others b u r d e n e d by the
"transfer blues."
As convenient as modern moving methods are there are still
physical and psychological obstacles to overcome and for the
housewife one of the biggest barriers in becoming acquainted before going stir crazy.
Unlike her husband, she does
not always have the opportunity
to get out and around during her
work day and consequently making new friends can be somewhat
slower than hubby's pace, but a
group of newcomers to the St,
Johns area have Joined together
to expedite this getting acquainted
process and already have Installed officers for the coming
year.
And wouldn't you know it?
Tiey.'re called 'Newcomers* and
are part oi the I n t e r n a t i o n a l
"Welcome Wagon" program
which has been in operation for
over 42 years.
•We have a membership of
about 25 right now," explained
Mrs James Leon, president of
the group. 'There are 60 in town
who arc eligible," she said indicating that present members
look for their number to increase.
T h r o u g h o u t the summer
months the group held weekly
informal coffee sessions at the
park to supplement their regular
meeting condaoted the first Wednesday of each month in the
community room of Central
National Bink, With the turning
of the weather, the coffee sessions are being held at Redwing
Lanes.
"Our newness has given us

Mrs Leon pointed out, "and <we

are finding our way by helping
each other. Mrs Pauline Powers,
our Welcome Wagon hostess,has
given us Introductions to the
business places and now thai
we're gettingt along well we're
looking forward to helping other
newcomers,"
The primary purpose of the
newly formed group is to acquaint
newcomers with one another, but
in addition to this there are
other purposes as well.
M
We must accomplish at least
one community project eaclu
year," the president stated and
went on to point ouf, that the new
group iniSt. Johns has already
completed one.
*We helped to make ditty bags
for the Red Cross for the
servicemen overseas,"MrsLeon
said and hinted that other projects wuuld be considered as the
Newcomers become more closely
organized.
The feeling of N e w c o m e r s
members suggests that they have
much to contribute to the community both in efforts and ideas.
Most of the group have spent
time in different parts of the
country and the exchange of experiences provides information
and new approaches to commun-
ity activities and projects.
But membership is not limited
to newcomers from distant
points. Indeed anyone moving into
the area from some other Clinton County address are eligible
for membership and are encouraged to attend either the
Wednesday morn'ng informal
coffee sessions or the mnn'\\Vj
gathering.
The name of the game is getting acquainted and as part of
attaining that goal Newcomers
is already considering social
events for husband and wife. No
definite plans are yet underway
but social events for coupJes
will be part of the coming year's
program.
The parent organization of
Newcomers, Welcome Wagon, is
supported by participating merchants of the area and directed
by hostess Mrs Powers, Sponsoring Welcome Wagon in St.

Late last week, the city commission, in efforts to present a
synopsis of events surrounding
the current discussion, released
the following statement.
The city commission has been
troubled by the recent reports
in the news media concerning the
lease of city park property to the
St. Johns school system. The
city commission is concernedfor
the reason that all the facts have
not been brought to the attention
of the public. '
The negotiation for a long
term lease have arisen because
of the necessity of repairing a
city sewer on Railroad Street to
relieve the pressure on the already burdened sewers on the
South side of the city. Until the
new school was constructed it
was known that the sewers were
inadequate but it was not imperative to do something immediately. With the opening of
the new school the sewers on
the south side of the citv had to
accommodate another 750 to 1,000 students, which created an
emergency situation with sewer
disposal.
From information in the city
files and conversations with
former city commissioners andemployees it appears that this
sewer problem was known both to
the cityofSt. Johns and the school
in 1966 long before the construction of the new school was begun.
Before the construction of the
new school there was apparently
an agreement between the city
and the school that the school
would share one half of the
constructon cost of the sewer on
R a i l r o a d Street, however, It
further appears that nothing was
ever reduced to writing on this
agreement.
Late last winter negotiations
were begun again between the
city and the school. At that
time the city stated it could only
contribute one half, or $25,000,
toward the sewer because of its
financial problems. The school
board stated it could furnish no
funds because of their own financial difficulties.
T h e r e were several other
meetings between committees
from the school board and the
city commission. One solution
was advanced by the school board
whereby the school wouldprepay
Its water bill in the amount of
$25,000. However, ltwaslearned
that in order to do this the city
would have to obtain authorization from each of its bond holders
and amend the bonding ordinances at the cost of several
thousand dollars.
After the recent school millage election the school was again
approached concerning t h e i r
contribution to the construction
of the Railroad Street sewer. The
solution was advanced by a committee from the city commission
that the school would prepay the
rent on the football field In the
amount of $25,000 and in return
would receive a lease for 20
years with an option to renew
the lease for another 10 years
at $1.00 a year. The school
presently rents the football field
for $2,400 a year. The school
also has the right to use the other
facilities In the park such as the
practice field, parking lot, etc.
in conjunction with the city residents. Presently the school has
a one year lease which expires
on June 1, 1970 which lease Is
automatically renewable each
year.
' As a result of these negotiations a* lease was prepared for
the football field only, with the
understanding that the school
could also use the other areas
during the school year as has
been done in the past. This lease
was not accepted by the school
and it was stated that they also
wanted the practice field to the
east of the football field and the
parking lot included in the 30
year lease. This information was
taken back to the city commission and it was decided that the
only part of the park that could
be leased to the school for 30
years was the football field itself. The reason that his decision
was reached was that If all these
areas requested by the school
were leased It would mean that
over one half on the cleared area
of the city park would be taken
from under the control of the city
for 30 years.
Since the park is in effect
owned by-all the citizens of St.
Johns It was not felt that the
c i t y commission could lease
away the right to use such a large
portion of the park for 30 ytfars
to a group which Includes many
persons from outside the City.

Bath Township officials will
take under consideration a proposed budget of $114,550 at a
special meeting set for Oct. 27.
By law the township can assess
a total of five mills.
One-half mill is'already in effect and another 2 1/2 mills has
been designated for a road improvement program. The new
budget If approved would require
an additional one mill to finalize
the total four mill budget.
A break-down of estimated expenditures includes: $79,215 for
the Genral Fund; $20,850 for the
police department; $9,285 for the
fire department; and $5,200 for
the cemetery.
The 2 1/2 mills allocated for
the building program had received tentative approval some
time ago by township officials,
contingent on Bath officials
reaching an agreement with the
Clinton County Road Commission. Total cost of the four areas
scheduled for road repairs was
given at $24,500. The Road Commission would absorb $3,000 of
the cost and the township the
$21,500 balance. The contract
was presented at Monday night's
meeting by Duane Smith, supervisor, for final approval.
Areas designated for improvem e n t s include: Sleight Road,
from Watson Road east; Center
Road east one quarter mile;
Angle Road for two-fifths of a
mile; and Cutler Road where the
old "Mud Creek" bridge will be
replaced by a culvert and the
raise graded.

Bath to build
new fire station
The expected arrival of a new
fire truck at Bath Township early
next year has createdaproblem.
The present fire station is too
small to accommodate the new
community asset. At first officials considered remodeling,
which became an undesireable
solution when high' estimates
were received.
They then considered the possibility of a new building at a
more convenient location. The
present station is in a congested
section, and officials decided to
"relocate" n e a r the township
hall. This decision was easier
to make than the financial arrangements and construction bid
problems that followed.
Estimates were received for a
building 30 by 58 with four stalls,
rest room facilities and a meeting room. Low bid was $18,116,
and included an 185,000 BTU
•gas furnace, eight inches of sand
fill, six inch concrete floor, 12
inch block walls and other items.
When officials compared these
cost figures with another estimate on a 28 by 48 structure
which ran $9,091 they noted the
excessive cost increase, and began a detailed discussion of the
situation. H e a v i e r materials
used In the stabilized roof and
the thickness of cement floors
accounted for a large per cent
of the increased costs. A compromise was then suggested by
Lee Reasoner, clerk, who made
the motion the board ask the
Police-Fire Board to accept a
30 by 58 structure with .posts
used'as supports and include a
furnace, five foot apron, and the
utilities stubbed in. They were
to receive bids on same, and
furthur discuss the project at a
special meeting of the Township
Board, called for Oct. 27.
• The newtruckstorageproblem
and the fact construction bids are
lower this time of year, have engendered a need for "speed"
among officials.
The contract will have a 45day completion date stipulated.
Approval of financing would
also be facilitated if officials
can keep the loan figure below
$10,000 If more than $10,000
is needed the Township mustobtain the approval of the Michigan
Municipal Finance Commission
which the board felt could cause
further delays to the building.

one of the best ever. The date

Julius Bengel; Mary Davarn,
daughter of Mr and Mrs Jack
Davarn; Rosanne Stump, daughter of Mrs Susann McCorkel;
- Andrea Thelen, daughter of Mr

These girls were selected by

O-E teachers
without contract
Robert Beauchamp, superintendent of theOvid-ElsieSchools,
reports teacher and school officials are still negotiating contracts for the 1969-70 school
year.
The groups mutually agreed
not to meet during the summer
months but negotiations have
been held frequently since the
' opening of school in September.
One hundred four teachers in
the system will be effected by
the contract and Lyle Howard
serves as teacher representative for the union and Beauchamp
and other members of the staff
represent school officials.
All benefits will be retroactive

the football game, the new queen
will be announced for the first
time to everyone. After this announcement, last year's queen,
Janice O'Brien, will do the honors
and crown the new royalty.
This year there will be two
prizes awarded in the float competition, first and second place.
As were the rules last year,
flowers and other decorations
can be made earlier, but the
floats themselves can not be
decorated until the afternoon of
Homecoming. Twenty students
from each of the four classes
will do this. Also during the
half-time festivities, the names
of the best two floats will be
announced after the judges have
tallied their votes.

Stewart said tentative agreement had been reached with the

opening of school but a finalized
settlement was delayed because
of technicalities concerning the

tenure. It took an additional two
weeks to settle that matter.

In a wild affairatPerry Friday
night, Bath snapped up an early
14-point lead but couldn't hold on
and finally lost their ftrstlngham
County League game, 40-26,
Five of the game's 10 touchdowns were scored in the first
period with Bath's quarterback
Paul Stoll running for one and
throwing for a n o t h e r before
Perry stormed back for three

second quarter.
But Perry,.hit for six points in
the third and picked up two scores
in the final period to put it out of
reach.
When asked what happened to
his surprising Bath team which

its previous' two games, Head
Coach Ron Skorich said simply,

Mike Ivan, Perry head coach,
apparently was impressed by the
Bees,
"They're a powerful team,"
said Ivan. "They fought hard and
never gave up." But he added,
"My boys did real well. They were
exceptionally good,"
Bath's first touchdown was set
up when Perry fumbled on its own

which they recovered on their own

six and Stoll fired a touchdown
pass to Tom Cooley to give Bath
a 12-0 lead midway through the
first quarter.
The Bees came right back with

recovered but were unable to

to add another 97 yards for a total
of 318 while the Warriors rushed
for only 48 yards and completed
eight of 19 passes to add another
144 for a total of 192.
St. Johns fumbled twice and lost
the ball both times while Waverly
fumbled once and lost it.
The Warriors were forced to
punt five times averaging for a
28-yard average and St. Johns
punted three times averaging 34
yards.
Waverly was set back 50 yards,
in penalties to 32 for St. Johns.
Looking ahead to Friday's conference battle at Hastings, Smith
noted that 'they've got a fine
senior q u a r t e r b a c k and two
breakaway runners and they like
to throw to them and run the
ball."
Although Alma trimmed Hastings 15-0 lastweek, Smith pointed
out that Hastings was without
five starters that night, including
four offensive linesmen.
Three were injured and two
were sick, but Smith says he expects all five to be in the lineup
against St. Johns.

Ballenger re-opens St. Johns office
contract
pending
School Board officials and
teachers in the Pewamo-Westphalia Schools are still negotiating contracts for the 1969-70
year.
According to a report received this week from Supt. William Steinke, the two groups
have met with a mediator, and
a fact finder will be called in
from' Grand Rapids Oct. 27, although negotiations are still in
progress.
Approximately nine items are
still being discussed including
salary and an agency shop
clause. Any agreement reached
will be retroactive for the 30
teachers involved.
The groups used a mediator
last year, but a fact finder was
not required.
Men who insist on running
risks and autos at the same time
are bound to come to grief.

State Rep. William S. Ballenger is ready
to meet Clinton County residents at'his St.
Johns office every Friday.
State Rep. William S. Ballenger, R-Ovid, announced that he
is re-opening his St. Johns District office on a regular basis
beginning Friday, Oct. 1.0.
Ballenger will be at the office
(lp2 N. Clinton) every Friday
from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and
from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
He said he suspended office
hours over the summer because
of the Legislature's summer recess and because of a sharp
decrease in the number of visitors late last spring after passage of the state school aid bill.
Ballenger's 87th district includes all of adjoining Shiawassee County and six townships in this Southeast section
of Clinton, including Bath,,DeWitt, Victor, Ovid, Bingham and
St. Johns.
Broken down, 70 per cent of
the district is in Shiawassee and
30 per cent is in Clinton. But
two-thirds of the population of
Clinton lives in Ballenger's district.
Ballenger < says some of his
Clinton County constituents may
"feel like the forgotten corner
of the district" and that's "one
reason why I established an
office in St. Johns.
*I pay for this office out of
my own pocket," he said, "but
I feel it's important to do this."
•Clinton County residents who
wish, to contact Ballenger when
he is not in his St. Johns office,
may reach him at his home in
Ovid (834-5607) or write JUm'
in care of the State Capitol,
Lansing 48901. His telephone
number in Lansing is 373-0841.
*I want to thank all those in
the St. Johns area who have
shown an interest In my St.
Johns office so far this year,"
said Ballenger. "If you have
any questions about the governor's Educational Reform Commission's recommendations or
any other problems, please don't
hesitate to get in touch with me ^
on Fridays in St. Johns."

"Next year, some Michigan
4-H members may be building
their own computers," notes
Beckstrand. He explains that extension specialists working with
Michigan 4-H Youth Programs
have developed a computer that
a group of youths can build with
about $50 worth of materials.
"But the 4-H projects are
really vehicles that aid the personal development of the young
person," he says. "Working on
4-H projects aids d e c i s i o n making, promotes cooperation
among young persons and helps
them learn to establish standards
and values.
Beckstrand predicts the 4-H
youth programs will continue to
change to keep pace with spaceage demands. "Besides the wellknown 4-H clubs," he says, "our

"Membership in Michigan 4-H
Youth Programs has grown from
5,920 in 1916 to over 100,000
participants this past year,"
says Dr Gordon Beckstrand, director of the state youth program.
The idea of 4-H started with
a corn-raising club in Cacoupin,
111., in 1899. In 1913,'the 4-H
idea was first introduced to
Michigan under the direction of
Michigan'State University, then
known as Michigan Agricultural
College.

A new aid which challenges
youth to learn more about plants,
soils and their environment, is
now being used in the national
4-H Field Crops Science program across the nation.
Titled, Exploring the World of
Plants and Soils, the educational
manual for 4 - H members has
been issued as the first unit in
a series on the science of plants
and soils. A guide for volunteer
leaders assisting youth also is
provided.
Prepared by representatives
of the Cooperative Extension
Service, National "4-H "Service '
Committee and Amchem Products, IncV, the publications are
designed to interest urban and
suburban youth as well as rural.
Specifically, the new educational
tools help youth experience the
excitement of experimentation
and work with plants and soils.
The youngpeople gain Insight into
the Interdependence of plants,
s o i ' l s , their environment and
modern cultural practices.
The emphasis Is on'sclence in
the n a t i o n a l 4-H Field Crops
Science program, according to
Extension Service specialists.
They point out that rural youth
are encouraged to apply their
knowledge of p l a n t and soil
science to field crops they grow
on the home farm. Urban and
s u b u r b a n youth duplicate the
practical learning experiences
by using common flower and
vegetable plants grown in boxes,
terrariums and similar devices.

Farm
census
by mail
The 1969 census of agriculture , i
will be conducted entirely by 7 ^
mail with no census takers involved, says Nick Smith, Chairman of the Michigan State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee.
According to Smith, the Bureau
of the Census has announced
that in January, 1970, every
operator of a farm or ranch will
receive a census form by mail
and will be asked to fill it out
and mail it back.
')
Smith says the decision to use
the mall method is the latest In
a series of plans to gain efficiency and economy by using the
malls to the greatest possible
extent In conducting all censuses.
He emphasizes that the completed q u e s t i o n a i r e for each
farm, ranch or other agricultural
operation will be completely confidential. He urged all farmers
to cooperate In the census.
The information o b t a i n e d ,
without names or clues to identify, will be grouped in statistical
totals and published by counties
and states as well as for the
entire Nation.
•
Smith added that in addition to
the number and acreage of farms,
the agricultural census will ask *
farmers for an estimate of values
of land and buildings, amount of
time farm operators worked at
off-farm jobs, and number of
autos, trucks, tractors*,"combines

The 4-H program is designed
for young people between 9 and 18
years of age, and new programs
are being developed for those
younger than 9 years of age.
These boys and girls conduct^ <
meetings, elect their own off icers
and work together. Young people
plan and evaluate their own projects and activities , under the
guidance of 15,000 volunteer

Learning experiences and
leadership training play an important part in 4-H youth programs, says Beckstrand. He
emphasized the impact of the
programs by noting that more
than 27 million Americans are
4-H alumni.
President Nixon recently commended the nation's three and a

REPORTING SERVICE
Week Ending Sept. 27
Continued dry mild weather
permitted farmers 5 1/2 days
in the fields in the Lower Peninsula. Lack of adequate soil
moisture supplies limited many
farmers in their plowing and
seeding operations in this area.
Michigan farmers are in the
tprocess of completing one of the
earliest dry field bean harvests
on record. As of Sept. 27, 85
per cent of the acreage had been
pulled. This was over two weeks
ahead of normal progress and
last year. Normally, 45 per cent
of the crop is harvested by this
date. Harvest of colored beans
is beginning in the south central
Lower Peninsula.
Soybean harvest made little
progress as only a few fields
were combined during the week.
Sugar beet harvest also advanced
slowly. Early reports indicate
that sugar content is above normal.
Corn growers can begin to
* breathe a little easier as one
half of the crop has reached
maturity and is considered safe
from frost. About one third of
the crop is in the dent stage
with most of the remaining acreage In the dough stage.
Harvest of corn for grain remains on a very limited scale
as many growers are waiting
for moisture in the crop to reach
lower acceptable levels. Filling
of silos continued active throughout the Lower Peninsula.
,t Potato harvest is about on the
schedule of recent' years and is
past the 40 per cent mark.
Wheat growers are about on
schedule with their planting operations with nearly one half of
the 1970 crop now in the ground.
Some growers are planting
their wheat in summer fallowed
fields while others are waiting
for a more favorable moisture
supply. Many growers are "dusting in* the crop anticipating that
' normal fall m o i s t u r e supplies
will germinate the crop.
In addition to wheat, growers
were planting alfalfa as well as
liming and fertilizing fields for
fall sown grain. Other farmers
were taking advantage of the
good harvest weather to put up
third and, in some cases, their
fourth cutting of hay.
Grape harvest was active
during the week in the southwest.
Peach harvest was nearing the
end as was the plum-prune harvest in the northwest. Late apple
harvest was active in all producing areas.

The black walnuts are ready.
Ready to collect for eating and for
planting. Many people enjoy the
fine flavor every winter but what
about planting some?
Black walnut grows best on
deep, rich porous soils and will
do well most anywhere in Clinton
County. Areas oflandalonglanes
or isolated areas not farmed or
difficult to farm are good places
to plant.
Rough or hilly areas not easily
used in modern agriculture are
excellent choices as are ditch
banks and well drained bottom
lands. Rather large openings in
existing woods are good sites.
Nuts for planting must be collected in the fall from tall,
straight, thrifty trees. Crack a
few to be sure they are good.
Remove the hulls and plant yet
this fall. However, fall planted
nuts are attractive to thieves
such as squirrels, chipmunks
and mice.
You can be more sure of seedlings by storing the nuts over
winter and planting in spring.
Nuts may be stored over winter by alternating two thicknesses of nuts covered with an
inch of sand or sawdust. Several
layers of each may be used but
be sure they are fully exposed
to winter conditions and not in
standing water. Any unsound nuts
may be separated in spring by
putting them in water. The bad
ones float.
Plant anytime after the ground
thaws in spring.
Why the interest in black walnut trees? The current price on
veneer logs of black walnut may
reach a dollar a board foot and
a good stand of walnut may add
300 board feet per acre each
year. Prices of veneer stock has
more than kept pace with other
prices during the past 40 years
and are expected to at least
continue that way.
Proper care and pruning the
first few years would determine
log quality. A 16-foot log free
of defects command top price.
Such a log may be produced under
reasonably g 0 0 d conditions in
about 30 years from time of
planting.
Additional information may be
obtained from a number of bulletins available in your extension office at 1003 South Oakland in St. Johns.

"Thank

reads the sign In large black
letters on the front door of the
corner grocery store.
Most customers give it less
than a passing glance as they
exit, because they're still trying
to recover from the shock of
their grocery bill.
It's true that prices of food
are up over past years. There's
nothing earthshaking about that
statement, but it is also true
that the cost of living has increased.
And the cost of living affects
the farmer's cost of farming,
the processor's cost of processing, and the grocer's cost of
grocering.
Why the rise in costs?
Each increase in the salary of
the 'breadwinner" In your family
Is reflected In higher prices
people in industries must pay
to stay in business, and to care
for their families too.
Spokesmen for the grocery
trade point out that labor costs
are up more than 100 per cent
in 20 years.
Costs of containers and packaging material are up 40 per
cent In the same period. Overhead costs such as rent are up
96 per cent.
Who Is to blame?
Press reports indicate that
the farmer is not being blamed
by many consumers for increases
in the weekly grocery bill.
There have been a few isolated
flareups on meat prices, but
most housewives rightly blame
inflation as the chief villain behind higher marketbasketcosts.
The farmer, for example, is
getting only two cents more of
the food dollar in 1969 than he
did in 1968. The farmer's share
of the food dollar now is 41
cents, while middlemen are getting 59 cents. Even at 41 cents,
farmers are still behind a decade
ago when they received 50 cents
of the food dollar.
Consumers should note that
only 17 per cent of their income
after taxes is being paid for
food as compared with 25 per
cent during the mld-1940's. Often the housewives grocery bill
unknowingly becomes inflated
with the purchase of non-food
items. Why not- check during
the next visit to your local supermarket?

Here is the River — to some an avenue on their trek westward — to others an
obstacle to be crossed.
Today it brings shiploads of needed supplies to the towns along its banks, carries their products to warehouse and factory.
Tomorrow it can escape those- banks, leaving death and destruction in its wake.
For the River must be ruled by m a n !
Yesterday it brought pure water from mountain streams to thirsty lips. Then somebody made it his gutter.
Like all our mixed blessings the River can help or hurt. It is just one of those
gifts of God whose value will always depend on our good sense and initiative, our respect for God's intent and our concern for the needs of others.
Call it a by-product if you please — but one of the results of faithful religious
worship and service is that so many mixed blessings become real blessings!

4 - H works for safer roads
*\
There Is a ray of hope lor
a reduction in the number of
motor - vehicle accidents in
hundreds of communities across
the country. And hope is turning
to reality in areas where young
drivers andpre-driversareparticipatlng in the 4-H Automotive
program.
Conducted by the Cooperative
Extension Service, with the help
at local police departments, firemen and communityileaders, the
program aims to develop the
right attitudes toward safe driving. And the popularity of the 4-H
Automotive program is shown by
the increasing n u m b e r of teens
who e n r o l l and complete the
program is supportedforthe 10th
year by The Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company which provides
incentives, recognition and other
program aids. The company also
provides a number of grants to
state ExtensionServicesforprogram promotion and expansion.
At National 4-H Congress in
Chicago, Nov. 30—Dec, 4, Firestone will award eight $600 nat l o n a l scholarships and host
state winners in the 4-H Automotive program. And at numerous local recognition events,
county medals of honor will be
awarded this fall.
Although encouraged by the
favorable response of young people, Firestone and Extension officials see needfor increased effort. They note that during 1968,
the National Safety Council reported 26 m i l l i o n licensed
drivers, one of every four, were
involved in motor-vehicle accidents. Deaths totaled 55,200
in the j u d g i n g contest. Each and some 2,000,000 persons were

This winter about 35 million

Both of these hybrids differ

in these types makes the protein

The floury type hybrids will be
distributed to major hog farmers
on an experimental basis for
1970 plantings. Northrup King
is working intensively on incorporating the floury-2 and opaque2 amino-acld characteristics into a single hybrid.
Until this combination of genes
becomes available, swine feeders
might profit most from feeding
a mixture of opaque-2 and floury2 hybrids, as the blend of the
two could possibly provide even
a better amino-acld protein

WHITE CITY, Kans., REGISTER: "We were happy tohear Neil
Armstrong* in his last message from the ship pay tribute to those
who, in the beginning ten years ago, made possible the climax.
Sometimes the charter member, the groundwork, or the mother
organization, is forgotten in the excitement of the success. If
you paid your taxes, you had a hand in it too."
#M&^
My mother used to send me
off to school with warnings to
be careful crossing streets and
to study hard or I'd grow up to
be a street cleaner.
As my kids returned to
school recently, I warned them
to beware of sex education,
boys with long hair, and girls
in short skirts.
A parent can't be too careful
these days.
Every sensible person knows
sex is dirty, except between
husband and wife if not too
often. Certainly our school kids
shouldn't be learning where
they came from. They're liable
to grow hair on their palms, or
something.
Besides, my son watches TV
so he a l r e a d y knows why
shapely girls in bikinis climb
all over a guy. It's because the
guy drives a new Dodge.
Some kids try to give us
adults a hard time on this
long-hair and short-skirt business. They say Jesus Christ
and George Washington had long
hair. And mini-skirts are where
it's at, the same as Mother's
phony chest, and what's so
deadly about skin above the
knees, anyway?
One nervy young man even
had the guts to claim it's unconstitutional for a school to
deny him an education unless
he gets a haircut. "As long as
I pass inspection at home," he
said, *no stuffy teacher has
the right to tell me how to
dress or wear my hair. As
long as I'm clean, I'm not
hurting anyone."
That's not how it works, of
course. A teacher in a nearby
school explained the long-hair
danger this way: "Shaggy hair
is a distraction to all students.
The youngsters can't learn with
long-haired boys in the classroom, and I can't teach."
"You mean you all keep
looking at the long hair, the
same as you'd keep looking at'
a little lamb if it followed Mary
to school?" I asked.
"Exactly," said the teacher
who Is bald and cross-eyed and
has a nervous tic which causes
him to pull on both his ears
every 2 minutes. "We simply
can't have any distractions."
Any sensible adult would certainly go along with that. Except
I do know one teacher who said
a strange thing. He said:
"Teachers are not barbers
or policemen of fashion experts.
We are in the classroom to
teach, and the kids are there
to learn. The amount of hair V
in a classroom has absolutely
no relationship to how much
can be learned in that classroom. Remember how Albert
Einstein wore his hair? I'm
fed up with all this nonsense.
If the adults would quit making
such an unholy fuss about how
the kids look, there'd be no
problem and, dammit, you
n e w s p a p e r reporters might
have time to notice that most
kids look a lot more decent
than their elders. Did you ever
go In a supermarket and eye
the fat old dames in curlers
and bursting slacks? Or the
pot-bellied, skinny-legged old
men In crew cuts and shorts?"
Of course, this teacher is
obviously a commie, or at least
a pervert. I figured that out
before he opened his mouth. *
He has a beard.
My mother didn't raise any
street cleaners.
TAKING FIVE
Bed
'Got to thinkln' t'other mornln'
After thoughts of sleep had fled,—
Just how many connotations
Hook up with the short word "bed."
'Tis a word of but three letters,
But once you start to look around,
There are divers shades of meaning
That those letters can surround.
There are single beds and double,
King size 'n three-quarter breed,
Made of various woods and metals,
Different "specks" for every need.
There are beds built fer reclinin'
High or low or short n' wide,
Some with cranks attached while others
Seem to have the "cranks" inside.
There are beds with springs n' mattress,
Others, bed-ticks stuffed with straw.
Feather beds fer fussy sleepers,
All kinds come within the law.
There are flower beds of roses,
Tulip, Iris and pansy bed,
Some are fit to grow strawberries.
Or some other fruits instead.
There are beds of pain and suffering,
Beds of luxury and ease;
Beds adopted to all climates,
Graduated by degrees.
,
Some beds boast of four stout posters,
Some with foot-boards, some without,
Some have creases In the middle,
Some have centers hollowed out.
Some beds squeak like mice was in 'em,
When positions you would change,
Some have slats that drop from under
When you seem to have the range.
There are beds to suit all notions,
Whersoe'er you chance to be,
But my home "stall" in the bedroom,
Carries its appeal to me.

servers say lt Is doubtful, however, that any new ceilings will
bring the rates back to the 7
per cent rate. They say a rate
celling of around 9 per cent is
more realistic and more logical.
The raising of the limit was
more apparent than real in most
instances anyway, since most
persons were paying a higher
rate than 7 per cent on home
loans through v a r i o u s other
charges.
In fields other than home loans,
rates higher than 7 per cent have
prevailed for years.
In some instances, such as
loans granted to corporations,
there never was a ceiling established, this being under a
t h e o r y that corporations are
smart, enough in money matters
to fend for themselves.
Charitable corporations also
have been able all the time to
waive the ceiling on loans of
amounts larger than $250,000.
Small loan companies have
been permitted by law to lend up
to $1,000 with a maximum interest rate of 30 per cent per
annum on the first $300 and 15
per cent on the rest of the loan.
However, if such a company
loaned more than $1,000, the
entire loan had to be charged at
7 per cent.
Other exemptions come for
persons such as pawnbrokers,
who are permitted to charge 3
per cent per month computed on

not compound loans or discount
them.
A u t o m o b i l e dealers maycharge from 6 per cent to 12'
per cent per year on a loan,
depending on the age of the
vehicle sold.
Such loans, however, actually
are at a true annual interest
rate almost twice the amount
specified. A car financed at a
rate of $6 per $100 per year
and paid off in installment payments * actually involves an interest rate of nearly 12 per cent.
Credit unions also are permitted to charge a maximum of
-1 per cent per month on the unpaid balance.

Banks have always made me
uneasy.
T h a t ' s probably because
most of my banking has been
done In Detroit where every
*\ 'seventh person who enter has
one chance in 12 of really being
a stickup man. So naturally they
tend to be a bit tight down there
even if you do have an honest
face.
Even my former institution in
Lansing was a little like this
which finally caused me to
transfer the personal fortune
over to Clinton National where
they still greet people by name
instead of magnetic numbers.
The decision to transfer was
reinforced when last month's
rent check bounced. Fortunately Gene Irwin, my landlord, is some sort of saint
when I show certain human
frailities and we worked out the
misunderstanding over a six
pack.
Which was remarkable, I
thought, because even though it
i was my check that had bounced '
it was his beer we drank.
The problem was that someone wrote a check to me and
it bounced so my former institution recovered nicely by
dipping into my account—without informing me—which resulted in some serious conversation between me and Irwin.
I got to thinking what a chain
reaction had begun and would
continue if Irwin were cutting it
close when my-check bounced
and so on down the line.
So I was pouring all this
out to Brandon White at the bank
the other day and he explained
tu there were circumstances in
this computer age which resulted In such experiences and
that bankers weren't all that
bad.
Well, Irwin and the rest of
my creditors will be happy to
know that the people over at
Clinton National not only smile,
call you by n a m e and sympathize, but have actually
gone and done something about
keeping such unhappy experiences to a minimum.
*•. Of course the system may be'''
against you if you've had too
many such experiences before
you see them over there, but
if you're reasonably straight
they've got a plan to fix you
up so you don't have to go
over and get a little smashed
with your landlord because the
rent check bounced.
Under this plan, which does
not necessarily include the use
of liquor, you can go over and
t'get a little smashed with your
landlord just because its fun.
Anyway, all of this got me
to recalling my banking days
in Detroit where they have
some pretty strange ideas.
It's t r u e that banks down
there put on the proper imagesincerity, (friendliness and occasionally even a smile. All
this while something called a
scan-a-viewer t a k e s continuous motion pictures of you.
, This is a holdover from the
Depression and the "bank holidays* which smacks of the old- ,
time ways borne of caution in
past dealings with the Dlllin< gers and the* James boys.
One day, some time ago I
went to a branch of my institution in Detroit to make a
simple withdrawal. The tellerette eyed my withdrawal slip
p l e a s a n t l y enough, but with
firmness and a near condescending glance.
The problem was that my
account had been opened in
branch No. 1 and this was
branch No. 40 - somethlng-orother and matching signatures
in the passbook and the withdrawal slip didn't seem to make
any difference.
Finally, after a series of
telephone calls, checking the
number on my drivers* license
and disclosure of my unlisted
zip code, it was determined
that I was, indeed, who I claimed
to be.
It was suggested that all this
was meant for the customer's
protection and in no way was
meant as a reflection onpeople
who refuse to shave on their
day off.
The thought occurred, what
must the poor guy trying to
heist a bank go through even
though he would be clean shaven since, of c o u r s e , it
wouldn't be his day off.
It's assumed the guy would,
out of necessity, display a little
class and respect of for the
image of the institution.
He would probably wait in
line like anybody else, not wishing to attract undue attention.
Like most of us, he would
deliberate and choose his line
carefully.
It would seem that the longer
line would mean a longer wait
but somehow the people with
the most complicated business
are always in the short lines.
The shorter line is too much
to resist, however, and it is
chosen while waiting, the longer
line has gone through two and a
half times.
And then Young Dilllnger's

A great deal of concern hasbeen expressed, particularly in
outstate and rural areas of Michigan, over the fact that an alarming number of private ambulance
firms are going out of business.
Charges h a v e been widely
made that this s e r i o u s and
troubling situation is a result of
requirements that were imposed
in a licensing bill enacted by the
Michigan Legislature during the
1968 session.
Although I was not a member
of the Legislature at the time
the licensing bill became law',
I-have studied the statute and
feel I must say that such charges
have puzzled me. I can state
categorically that the licensing
requirements established by the
state were minimal, and I can
also state most emphatically that
no law passed by the Michigan
Legislature has in any way restricted ambulance service in
this state!
The first, Public Actl63,permits townships and counties to
contract with persons, firms,
organizations and corporations
in order to provide ambulance
and inhalator service.
The second, Public Act 258,
licenses and regulates ambulances, drivers, attendants and
attendant-drivers. It sets a fee
of $25 for privately-owned ambulances and $10 for those ow^ned
by non-profit corporations, but
exempts local units of government from payment of these fees.
Drivers pay a fee of $1 for a
license, and both attendants and
attendant-drivers pay $5. Applicants for attendant or attendantdriver licenses must have completed a course of training equivalent to the advanced Red Cross
first-aid course. Ambulances
must have rear door openings,
must contain sufficient apparatus
for administering oxygen to patients, and must carry minimum
first-aid e q u i p m e n t as prescribed by standards currently
being promulgated by the Michigan Department-of Health, The
estimated cost of such equipment in most areas is $200$250, hardly enough to drive a
service out of business.
1
It should be obvious that these
are minimum requirements, as
a r e the standards being established by the State Health
Department. I'm sure that no
View from
the 87th
By WILLIAM S. BALLENGER
State Representative
citizen who reads this, if seriously injured in an automobile
accident or suffering a stroke
or heart attack, would wish to
be transported to a hospital by a
vehicle that did not contain these
bare necessities of equipment
or by an attendant who lacked a
basic understanding of first-aid
principles.
Clearly enough, state regulations can hardly be cited as a
legitimate reason for any ambulance firm to discontinue service. The fact is that practically
all such firms in Michigan, including those now going out of
business, had either decided to
dissolve and were using a mild
state law as a handy excuse, or
else, if they decided to continue,
were already substantially conforming to the recently-enacted
state laws and found the licensing
expense itself relatively insignificant.
What, then, has cusedtheproblem? why are so many ambulance
services, many of them owned by
funeral h o m e s , ceasing their
operations?
The answer lies almost entirely with federal laws and regulations—with recent requirements that are being imposed by
Washington, D. C , not the State
of Michigan.
According to the feds, ambulance s e r v i c e is now considered interstate business. (Apparently the only legal logic for
this determination lies in the
fact that ambulances, in servicing accidents, may transportpatients from outside the state in
which the accident occurs.) As
interstate business, ambulance
service is regulated under the
federal Fair Labor Standards
Act. This statute requires a
minimum wage of $1.60 an hour,
with time-and-a-half for overtime.
Unitl very recently, it was
common practice in outstate
areas of Michigan for ambulance
crews to be paid on a call
basis, receiving compensation
only when a run was made.
(Attendants and drivers were
generally employed in some
other capacity that^ permitted r
them to leave their work when
needed, or were retired persons.) Federal law willnolonger
permit this arrangement. A crew
must be paid for its entire work

shift.
Even if attendants and drivers
could be hired in sufficient numbers, at the minimum wage, to
avoid any need for the payment
of overtime, the federal regulations would mean a cost of at
least $76.80 in salaries alone
to keep a driver and an attendant in readiness throughout a
24-hour day. Under actual conditions, the cost would be considerably greater.
As a result, funeral homes and
private ambulance firms operating in low-accident areas have
found it impossible to continue
operations without some degree
of subsidy. The fees that may
reasonably be charged to patients
or accident victims are no longer
sufficient to meet the costs of
maintaining crews and vehicles.
Since conditions and needs
vary widely throughout the state,
and since I believe that local
governments are best qualified
to solve local problems, I hope
vfjry much that current difficulties will be resolved at the
local level, and that there will be
no need for the State of Michigan
to impose any form of regulatory
legislation beyond the minimum
requirements cited earlier in
this report.

Weed control in soybeans
Shepardsville
By LUcllle Spencer
A combination of Amiben and
Lorox will do an excellent Job
of controlling broadleaved weeds
and annual grasses In soybeans,
reports Dr William Meggitt,
Michigan State University extension weed specialist.
"The combination will work
better than Amiben alone during
seasons when rainfall isn't at
least a quarter of an inch at one
time within a few days after
planting.1' •
M e g g i t t says Lorox alone
shouldn't be used on sandy or
sandy loam soils with less than
two per cent organic matter.
That's because higher rates of
the herbicide or high levels of
rainfall will cause bean injury. •
The key to good weed control,
he says, Is a "plant 40, spray
40" plan. In other words, the
far men should waste little time
between planting soybeans and
applying herbicides.
*H you wait until you plant
all your acreage before spraying,
you might be delayed by wet
weather and the weeds will get
a head start," explains Meggitt.
The Council of Ministries will
meet on Monday evening
13 at 7:45 p.m. at the Shepards
vllle United Methodist Church
There were 25 present
Annual Church Charge Conference of the Price and Shepardsville Churches held on Sept. 30
at the Shepardsville Church. It
was presided over by the District Superintendent, Rev Wiltse,
who opened the meeting by reading a few verses of scripture
from the 13th chapter of John,
followed by a short prayer. The
election of officers were those
who were nominated last spring.
They will begin their duties in
January, the beginning of the
church year.

A contact person for Grand
Rapids Community House was
recently appointed from each
church. Mrs Elzie Exelby of
Price and Mrs John Spencer of
Shepardsville, will be chairman
of the commission on Missions
in their respective churches and
the community House will be a
mission project.
Miss Carol Ormsby of Price
asked for a lay speaker's license
and Mr and Mrs Dale Squiers
of S h e p a r d s v i l l e for a local
preacher's license. These people
were unanimously recommended
by those present.
Rev Karl Ziegler gave a report
of his work in both churches.
Mr and Mrs Dale Squiers and
family spent the weekend at Niagara Falls. It was sort of a^
second honeymoon only this time
the family went along.
The Shepardsville WSCS Planning Committee express their
thanks' to those who helped make
the Smorgasbord and fair the
success that It was. A substantial amount was raised to help
retire the building fund.
Three infrants were baptized
on Sept. 28 at the Shepardsville
United Methodist Church. They
were Jeffrey Lynn Davis, son of
Mr and Mrs Jerald Davis; Julie
Renae, daughter of Mr and Mrs
Russell Kioski; and Heather LeeAnn, daughter of Mr and Mrs
Lee Hibbard.
Rev Kark Ziegler sang ''Hey

9 with Mrs George Olson. Mrs Woman's Clubs on Sept. 30. Club
Pearl Miller will have the pro- presidents or their representagram and Mrs Grace Baker the tives were also in attendance.
"The sooner herbicides are
applied after planting, the more
likely they will move into the
soil and do an effective job."
He says a new h e r b i c i d e ,
Lasso, looks very good for control of annual grasses. And a
combination of Lasso and Lorox
could be the best bet for allaround weed control. whenLasso
is cleared fon use.
Detailed recommendations on
soybean weed control are listed
in the bulletin, "Weed Control
in Field Crops," which can be
obtained from county Cooperative Extension Service offices
or from the Bulletin Off ice, Agriculture Hall, Michigan State University, EastLanslng,48823.

Autumn offers
good gardening
Gardening enthusiasm gets a
boost with cool and pleasant fall
evenings, and that's fortunate
because this is a busy season
for outside living areas. Autumn
activity can include planting,
some pruning, transplanting,
planning, potting, preparing for
winter protection, and a host of
other rewarding projects.
Some suggestions offered by
the A m e r i c a n Association of
Nurserymen may assist home
gardeners In scheduling their
recreation time.
Fall is an important planting
season, for example, for a number of things from bulbs to evergreens. Plants should have time
to put down roots before the
weather turns too cold. It's a
favorable time to begin new
lawns or renovate old ones. Bulbs
go into the ground now. Create
a rose bed this season. New
perennials can be planted pretty
soon.
It's the time of year to make'
some changes, if youwish. Chrysanthemums that you have been
growing in a row In the vegetable
or cutting garden can be moved
Into the perennial border for
autumn display. The old perennial flower beds can be rejuvenated/- 1
If you will be planting tul^p
bulbs, the nurserymen have an
Interesting suggestion. If moles,
field mice or chipmunks are a,
nuisance, try planting the bulbs"
inside wire cages.
All the houseplants that were
kept outside during the summerare due to be moved into the
house this time of year. Repot
those that have outgrown theirpots and give all an applicationof fertilizer.
,
And fall is clean-up time. Noth-!
ing should be left in flower beds,'
shrub borders or vegetable gardens which might harbor insects,
disease or rodents.
