Adams State Attorney General If you are having trouble paying your bills due to inflation, layoffs or any other reason, be sure that anyone to whom you pay money for debt pooling will get you out of debt and n o t deeper into debt. Ads which offer to help you retain peace of mind, get your creditors off your back, avoid garnishments, get out of debt without a loan, protect your job and your credit, all by turning over $15 or $25 per week to a debt pooler, sound good but the results can be most sad. My office has received complaints recently from persons who have conscientiously p a i d debt poolers the agreed upon sum for months only to find as many creditors as ever. In some cases the people have not been able to obtain any accounting of what happened to the money they paid to apply on past due debts. DONALD McAINSH Donald J. McAinsh, a former area farmer, died suddenly at his home in Inkster on Thursday, March 30. He had lived here for about 15 yean before moving to Detroit and Inkster. Survivors include a son, Eugene of Pinckney; three daugh* ters, Mrs. Edward Trombley, Mrs. Donald Davis and Evelyn McAinsh, att of Detroit There are 14 grandchildren. Funeral services were held on Monday at the Querfiekt Funeral Home in Dearborn. Burial was m Pmckney cemetery. As a free American citizen, you have a right to hire a budget manager or a debt adjuster. But you should know that if the person you hire does not satisfactorily adjust your debts and carry out the glowing promises so often made, there is very little the law can do to help you out of your troubles. Legislation is in the works to deal with this problem. Meanwhile, beware of debt poolers! Some are excellent, others a r e not! Be sure you know which is which before handing over your money to a stranger.

TIME TO INVENTORY CLOTHES IN CLOSET Spring cleaning can extend to your clothes closet, with an eye to analyzing your warbrobe and to planned future shopping trips. Eleanor Mullikin, clothing instructor at Michigan State University, suggests you divide clothing into .groups of coats, suits, dresses, separates, leisure wear, underclothing and accessories. You may be surprised at the large quantity of items in certain groups and the lack of items in others. Mrs. Mullikin says this is the time to evaluate each garment. If you don't wear it, can it be repaired, given a life with new accessories, or remodeled to make it usable? Maybe a shorter skirt length is all a dress needs to make it a "1961" style. If there is no hope for some garment in your wardrobe, don't let it clutter the closet. Check any garment which is not worn simply because there is no place to wear it If the purchase was an "impulse item" — make a mental note to avoid the same mistake again.

In 1960 only 97 of the House bills finally made it, and the Senate did about as well, proportionately with 70. This works out on a percentage basis of about 17% for the House and 29% for the Senate. Few experienced Legislators expect that the record will be as high this session. , While it may seem like a waste of time, and the taxpayer's money, to go through all |of this _ for so few laws, it really is a necessary part of the legislative process. Bills (that never become law, do oftentimes influence action by the legislature, it is one way >f finding out what the folks [back home think about a lot of [state problems. There is always some degree of political influence in ithe introduction of legislative (bills. Many of the measures ire acorded introduction, but iven their sponsors have no thought that they will become law. All of these measures must be dealt with in committee, and as soon as the committees begin to digest this mass that was handed them last week. things will beein to happen on the floor again. Until these biUs begin to come out of committee, no action can be taken. y s 4»n~faeeoroe law* hew sources of state revenue must be found.

But I've noticed a rather subtle, gradual change in Mike lately . . . all to the good . . . and 1 think 1 know where the answer lies. The light suddenly dawned last week when 1 found Mike busily waxing his bike out in the garage. He had given the family car a beautiful wash and polish job the week before, without even being asked! When I commented about the care in mock astonishment Mike very quietly gave me a long, earnest lecture on the need for taking good care of good, expensive equipment. His words were almost an echo of his Dad's lessons in gun care that came along with Mike's 22 rifle! Obviously, those lessons rubbed off in some other areas of Mike's activities.

SMU&9 CLEAN-UP BUILT-IN PHONE WIRING OFFERED BY MICH. BELL Michigan Bell Telephone Company announced it has installed "built-in" telephone wiring in more than 9,008 Michigan living units since last Aug. 1 when the service was first offered to builders and individuals free of charge. Kenneth J. Boekeloo, general commercial manager, estimated that 60 per cent of the houses and apartment buildings b e t built have concealed tefcpheae wiring. He said more builders are expected to take advantage of the free wiring service in their, 1961 plans. The wiring is installed in walls of each room of houses a n d apartment buildings, except the bathroom, after electrical wiring is completed and before insulation, lath and plaster, or dry wall is placed. "Advance wiring ties into the modern living theme with built-in convenience features," Boekeloo said, ' i t also assures h o m e buyers of sufficient wiring for future telephone needs, w h i c h may include extensions, a second phone line, or the installation of Home Interphone — a new home intercommunications s y s - ter combining telephone and speaker-microphone units." Customers pay only the regular service installation, charge when they order a telephone.

For at least 80 years, governors, former governors and plain citizens have been sayipg the states needs an executive mansion. But some governors were LUMBER- COAL -FUEL ON. PROMPT KUVBtY 4POOI AMCUUY I.E.IIET mom MA Milt different to whether the state provided a home for them. At least part of the reason for this is that until this century was well past its majority, few governors spent any considerable amount of time in Lansing, except when the Legislature was in session. White the Legislature h a s been less than anxious to provide | funds for a permanent residence in Lansing, lawmakers did, in 11935 provide the state's chief executive with a summer home on Mackinac Island. At the same session, incidentally, they refusjed to support a resolution calling | for a Lansing governor's residence. Plans for one were included in a Federal Works Program for the state that year, but they didn't work out. From 1935 on, agitation for a governor's residence grew, and the Legislature produced starts on the project several times. Something always got in the way. At one time, plans were afoot to renovate the old Barnes mansion in Lansing "When is a shopping center like a bank?" That's any: When it offers so many varied services all in one placet Convenience is, of course, one of the most attractive features of a first* rate shopping center.

Strong objections to its "ugliness" were raised, and the cost of renovation proved prohibitive. Now comes Sen. John W. Fitzgerald, the son of a former governor, with a plan to do something for a constituent. Fitzgerald, a Grand L e d g e Republican, introduced a bill to provide $10,000 for rental and operating costs to provide a home for Michigan governors. Gov. John B. Swainson, a Democrat, is living in a house which he rents himself just outside Lansing — in Fitzgerald's district. Perhaps nobody but Fitzgerald in the Legislature has had the first hand experience with t h e problems of governors involving housing. His father, the l a t e Frank D. Fitzgerald, lived at home in Grand Ledge during his tenure as governor. While many still say the State should provide its governors with a home, owned and operated by the State of Michigan, F i t zgerald would at least take the burden of paying for a residence, which must be used for personal, official and semi-official functions, off the back of the chief executive. Sometimes a headache for the homeowner who has been hoodwinked on trees or shrubs is also a pain in the neck to the state plrtmenf lof " l ^ i k; ull tu t; _.-.- Spring brings out the sellers of plants, trees, shrubs, bushes and other nursery stock in droves. The householders are not far behind. Virtually all the sellers of things to grow are reputable. Most deal only in inspected stock, and certainly any established businessman could not afford to sell something unwholesome or improper. Plant pests and diseases are carried on some products. Department of Agriculture inspections go far toward keeping such things in check. As in most other things, however, the old legal slogan..of 'Let the Buyer Beware" applies to plants and nursery stock. State agriculturists have warned people to look out for plants RANK // , / which are unhealthy looking; which are not in proper shape to be planted, or which are dead or dying. They say bulbs, corms or tubers should be plump and fairly firm as well. Resolutions now before t h e Legislature would provide rolling and floating advertisements for Michigan. Sen. John H. Stahlin, R-Reading, wants to authorize a railroad train to be paid for by contributions which would tour the East and Midwest selling Michigan's advantages. Sen. Harold M. Ryan, D-Detroit, wants to spend $50,000 of state funds to outfit the former Mackinac Straits ferry "Vacationland" as a touring promotional gimmick for the state. Stahlin's plan presumably would be a one-shot deal, aimed at correcting Michigan's bad national image. Ryan, on the other hand, had indicated the Vacationland, renamed the "New Michigan," could continue to sail on and on, visiting the ports of the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, the East Coast, and possibly even the West Coast and Europe. Whether the Vacationland, which reverted to state ownership after an ill-fated venture as a package carrief between Detroit and Cleveland, would be -seaworthy for at present unknown.

The 30 minute film shows highlights of competition and slips in traffic safety messages at the same time. The producers were more interested in getting over s o m e safety ideas in a palatable manner than in athletics, but comments by safety experts worked into the sound track are designed to do so without detracting from the glamour of the film. A series of five-second pitches are dropped in to relate some aspect of play, sportsmanship, skill, etc., with similar situations involving driving. It's an experiment.

The azaleas and dogwood were at their best, Mrs. Euler reports, and a highlight of the visit was seeing the Coronation of the Queen of the Dogwood Trail. Mrs. Cora Morgan of Brighton accompanied Mrs. Euler on the trip. FLOOR FLATTERY Wax adds beauty and protection to wood floors. Home economists at Michigan State University suggest using two t h i n coasts of solvent-base wax which is buffed thoroughly after each application.

MICHIGAN WEEK SLOGAN BECOMES STIRRING MARCH Recordings and musical scores of a new march and song about the State of Michigan are being distributed to .high schools and radio stations in the state as a part ol the!961 Michigan Week cultural activities. University of Michigan President Harlan Hatcher, chairman of the Michigan Week cultural activities committee, said the march and song had been composed by two U-M faculty members. Florian F. Mueller, associate professor of oboe and wind instruments in the U-M School of Music, composed "Michigan Marching Forward" at the request of Michigan's Governor, John B. Swainson. The march is named after the slogan, sugr gested by the governor, f o r this year's Michigan Week, scheduled to be observed from May 21 to 27. The song, "My Michigan," was composed by Orien E. Dalley, music consultant for WUOM, the U-M radio station. Prompted by the current market value of land, the S o u t h Lyon school board voted l a s t week to extend its search f o r property to include sites for future elementary schools. Last month the board launched a search for possible sites lor a high school. The request will be for parcels of land 10 to 20 acres located not less than 2 miles from the city limits of South Lyon. Kathrene Gall, 16, of Saline, has been named the f61 Washtenaw County Dairy Princess.

PH. 330 L n MICHIGAN MIRROR There's much in the news lately about legislation to bolster Michigan's position in the strugle to create jobs through industrial development. There are only two ways to bring this about: hold and expand existing payrolls; bring in new factories in competition with other areas. Work and play important roles in this effort. Most professionals in the plant location field would probably agree that the search for new locations matches community against comunity rather than state against state. This means that, in addition to the valuable financing plans a state m i g h t offer, the community itself is mightly important. When a business is to be located, the executives usually contact (or are contacted by) the State Economic Development Department, many community leaders and utility representatives. Often then consult "plant locating" consultants. The resulting deliberations are often hectic and much less logical than one would, "think to be the case wbeft all these interested people a r e working. A $35 million installation in Montague illustrates the point, Hooker Electro-Chemical w a s trying hard to fine a suitable location on the shores of Lake Michigan. Everybody seemed to be in the act, but nothing was decided. A local plumber wrote Hooker a letter stating emphatically that he knew there were many subterranean salt deposits nearby and wondered why t h e plant didn't locate there. Company officials checked, found the letter correct and the factory was built. A mistake discovered by a member of the Economic Development Department is credited with saving another industry for Michigan. A consulting service recommended an Indiana location over one in Kalamazoo, the deciding factor being a wage and tax differential. The economic development staff man felt re the consultant's figures were rong. To prove it he worked several ys at the MSU library collectg and sifting information. Then he found the mistake! Some hurried phone calls set up appointments in Chicago where t h e figures could be disproven. As a result the plant now operates in Kalamazoo. In another instance one of the utilities men carted a prospect all over Southwest Michigan and showed him some of the finest towns in the area. Trouble, was, every place he stopped it rainedor snowed. Finally, after a few days of dismal outlook, the utilities man surrendered his guest into the hands of a competitor from another utility. That day dawned bright and fair as Nature put her foot forward. The competitor signed, sealed and delivered the prospect and his plant to the first town where the y stopped. You're never going to convince that first professional that there isn't any luck to this SNEDICOR'S CLEANERS IN PINCKNEY WEDNESDAY W SATURDAY 220 So. Michigan Av#.

Adolph Ploehn, of the Brighton S t a t e Police Post, has issued a timely reminder to parents to warn their children now against talking, walking, or going anywhere with strangers. "The best rule for children is to avoid strangers completely," Sergeant Ploehn emphasized. "Caution them often to beware of strangers while outdoors at play, or on the way to or from school. Tell them to report any strangers who rqake offers or promises of candy or gifts for going for a walk or a ride with them." Child molestation cases investigated by the State Police last year totaled 58lj an increase of 15, or 2.6 per cent, compared to 1959. The offenses reach a peak in the summer. The high month Jor J 9 6 0 was August with 84 while Jttfy wa^ second w ith $0 and June third with 67. The peak month in 1959 also w a s August with 76, June was next with 73 and July third with 61. The cases usually increase beginning in April and taper off in September and October. Of last year's 581 cases, 431 occurred in the April-October period. The danger is prevalent to some degree the year around and in I960 no month had less than 23 cases. To help eradicate the menace, parents should notify police immediately of all incidents, no matter how minor they m a y seem, reported by their children. The failure or reluctance of parents to do so makes it difficult for police to cope with the problem and gives the child molester the chance to strike again. No publicity is given to the names of the children or the parents except in the case of murder. Parents should impress upon | children that policemen are their friends who want to help and protect them. Youngsters must bet encouraged to report to police or their parents any strangers seen loiterng suspiciously around playgrounds, neighborhoods,, or schools, and at public rest rooms. \ These are important rules suggested for children to follow: 1. Don't stop to talk, or go for a walk or a ride with any stranger. If he offers you money, gifts or candy, don't accept them. If he offers you a job to earn money, tell your parj ents first so they can investigate. 2. Always try to be with one or more playmates during play hours at school or near home oi on vacation. Don't play or walk alone in alleys, deserted buildings, or other secluded places. 3. Know the persons you ait with. Don't let strangers try to join you during play hours and report any suspicious persons to your parents, teachers or police. 4. Don't loiter in 'public rest rooms. There are danger spots. 5. Never go alone to the movies. Go with a pal or a friend. If a stranger bothers you there, report this at once to the theater manager. 6. Do not play or walk too close to the road. Keep a safe distance away so that strangers in passing cars cannot easily reach out and grab you. 7. These rules are for your protection so always obey them. Don't let your friends or a n y stranger get you to disobey them, ff-you have any^ Question or problem about them, tell your parents. Here are ways children car help in attempts or cases of child molestation: 1. Write down or memorize the stranger's description, h i s approximate height, weight, age, color of skin, eyes and hair. Remember things like a mustache, eyeglasses, kind of clones, tattoos, jewelry, physical defects or anything else unusual. 2. If the stranger has a car, try to get the license numbers and letters, coloring, year a n d state. Put it down on paper or use chalk, a stone or a stick to mark it on a sidewalk, a wall or in sand or dirt. 3. Remember your suspicions can help protect you and your friends from harm. Any stranger reported by you and investigated by the police will not be offended if he has a legitimate reason for his activity.

STATE POLICE REPORT ON BAD CHECKS Bogus scheck passing in Michigan is a million dollar a month operation which so far this year gives little indication of falling away from the high levels of activity reached ia 1959 and 1960, according to Det. Sgt. F. E. Kelly of the fTa«duknt-check section at East Lansing S t a t e Police headquarters. In the first two and a h a 1 f months this year, 356 bogus checks were submitted to the section for examination, j u s t three less than in the same period in 1960. Only about one per cent of the bad checks passed in Michigan are submitted to t h e State Police, the remainder are handled locally. Last year 1,657 checks, averaging $77.26 and having a total value of $128,010.74, were processed by the State Police. The peak year in volume since the section was established in 1948 was in 1959 with 1,698 averaging $74.36 and totalling $126,- 263.33. Known passers or previous forgery or fraud specimens are identified in about 60 per cent' of the cases studied by the State Police. High months for check fraud are usually January. July and August while April is generally the lowest. An analysis of the record indicates that when the economy flourishes, so does bad check activity. According to Kelly, the apparent explanation is that business people are l e s s cautious then or feel that the higher volume of business can more easily sustain any fraud RE-ELECT Smith of Grand Rapids, L e i a Barnes, of Williamston, M r s .

Who suffers in this fraudulent activity? Kelly observes that the merchant or firm cashing a bad check must make good the loss originally but eventually it's the public that pays through increased business operating costs. , Kelly's advice h this: Treat every eheefc; wklt t-h-esame caution you would use in making ^ unsecured loan to a strang' To , nt opportunity for theft which can lead to forgery and fraud, check supplies and bank statements should be securely locked up when not in use.

The safe containing the money in the La Rosa business place was broken open. It was the "beginning of the end" of their career early Friday morning when the sheriffs department received a call from the Blue Water Store at Lakeland that their burglar alarm had sounded frightening away wouldbe- burglars. The proprietor spotted a car driving away and gave a description. An hour later a car answering that description was found parked in the village square here. Deputy Robert Egeter investigated and stood by waiting for the owners to return to the car. It is beleived they were at that moment inside the local service station attempting to remove the lock from the safe door. They fled leaving a large tool in the lock. Sheriff Lawrence Gerhinger arrived and found more than $600 in cash in the glove compartment of the car. This was beleived to be the money taken from the Brighton Bowl and Bar shortly before the report was received from the Lakeland store. To date the pair have admitted many burglaries in both Living- Jton_and Washtenaw counties. Sheriff LOCAL BOY STATIONED ON OKINAWA Jack D. Lee, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard E.

STATE POLICE SEEK CANINE RECRUITS Encouraged by early results in the use of a police dog for tracking and trailing lost persons and criminals, the Michigan S t a t e Police are now looking for several more German shepherds to give the experimental program a complete test. "Jocko," the first departmentowned dog for this purpose, was given to the State Police l a s t summer and subsequently received 14 weeks of training at t h e St. Louis, Mo., municipal d e - partment canine dog school along with his handler, Tpr. Richard H. Abbott, East Lansing. Although the dog has not yet been responsible for t h e direct capture of an escaping criminal, it has followed scents almost unerringly. Male German shepherds of pure strain and, if possible, re* gistered are being sought as they are regarded as the best allaround type of dog for police purposes. The dogs are to be one to two years of age and not less than 23 inches in height. They will be trained at E a s t Lansing headquarters by Trooper Abbott. The experiment has been expanded to have at least f o u r new dogs assigned permanently in other areas. NEW ARRIVAL Word has been received here that Mrs. Howe, high school home ec teacher during the first semester is now the proud mother of a seven pound daughter.

MIRROR "The only answer to unemployment is more jobs," a legislative leader said not too long ago. This observation, which may seem perfectly obvious to some and downright superfluous to others, may in reality contain more truth than fiction. The Michigan economy has been studied, prodded, p o k e d , diagnosed, examined and analyzed by almost anyone w h o could find an excuse to do so. The results of these investigations, in a nutshell, are that Michigan needs more jobs. Recommendations, most of them intricate and detailed, and having to do with industry incentive taxes, needs, advantages and sites, have been made. Now comes a legislative committee to study the studies. It hopes to analyze the analyses and come up with the best of the lot, then translate it into specific legislative action to improve the state's much-maligned economic climate. This, perhaps, is what Michiigan needs most. That is, less talk and a program of action. The latest study, proposed by freshman Rep. Gilbert Bursley, R-Ann Arbor, if it comes up with the needed actiop, could put the state on the road it seeks. Other studies have laid out for all to see what is wrong and what is right in Michigan. It is in the hands of lawmakers to lay out a program of action to correct the wrongs and take advantage of the right in the complicated economic situation. * • • Just how much does the weather influence driving? More specifically, more cars are on the road when the sun is shining and many of them are going faster because of dry pavement. Is it possible, however, that good weather can cause a frame of mind that will lead to violations of the reckless driving variety? Secretary of State James M. Hare thinks people's driving often gets worse as the weather gets better. He says conviction abstracts, which are sent to his office for each offense chargeable under the state's point-system law of determining when to take away a driver's license, shower a decline early this year that would reflect periods of bad weather during the winter. If this indicated "better driving" in bad weather, it contradicted the statistics on t r a f f i c deaths. These usually follow a different pattern: Deaths a r e high during the winter months when there are more hours of darkness. Hare says that as the snow and ice disappear, spring time friskiness infects too many drivers, causing them to take chances they normally wouldn't, and consequently receiving a violation. aim unexplained, however, are the periods of atrocious traffic records and the periods of very safe driving by Michigan motorists which occur without rhyme or reason throughout the year. • • • Colorful fall festivals in Michigan, the well-known county fairs, can get money from the Duly authorized officials of the fair have to contact the director of agriculture requesting that the matching funds be furnished. After preliminary approval is given, the fair organizers must furnish any additional information that the director of agriculture might ask for. Then, the authorized w o r k must be completed as quickly as possible after the final approval is handed down. Only "new constructions, remodeling, maintaining, repairing and/or otherwise making fair buildings more suitable for fair purposes, and/or making race tracks more suitable for racing at said fairs,*1 would be eligible for the state assistance. The money would be paid only after the director of agriculture or his representative has inspected the construction and found it suitable for the matching fund program. Then half of the cost would be turned over not to exceed the $2,500 limitation from the state coffers. Aim of the whole program is to give the county fairs a badly needed shot in the arm. Many of the buildings have become Give Fraud 'Busy Signal' By PAUL L. ADAMS State Attorney General Many conmen use the telephone to make contact with their intended victims. This puts the victim at an unfair disadvantage for several reasons: 1. It costs the conman very little. 2. It penetrates the privacy of the victim, reaching him when he is psychology offguard. My inquiry shows, for example, that many skillful cons wait until evening to call, to catch their victims in a relaxed "at home" mood. 3. It enables to con to* use innocent dupes, such as shut-ins or handicapped, to play on the run down through disuse except for the fall fairs, and the department of agriculture believes that these traditional shows c o u l d continue in Michigan because of their numerous advantages to the rural communities. sympathies of the listener. 4. It prevents identification and apprehension of the real coo. I find Michigan citizens exhibit a growing resentment towards this outrageous violation of privacy. My staff and I have been working with officials of the telephone company to find ways of helping the telephone subscriber to protect himself against telephone-fraud artists. 1.

For many generations kite-flying has been recognized as a sure sign of spring right along with the gusty winds of March* the first robin, roller skating and marble shooting. And, already many of our young residents have abandoned their favorite winter pastimes and have begun rigging and flying their first kites of 1961. But before the season g e t s into full swing, L. Clancy Nanry, head of Detroit Edison's safety department, would like to pass along a few simple rules for keeping the fun in and the danger out of kite-flying. Here they are: 1. Always fly kites in open fields — away from overhead wires and away from streets and roads where traffic is an additional hazard. 2. If you're building your own kite, use a wooden frame. Wood is a non-conductor of electricity. 3. Use "plain11 kite-string; avoid all tinsel wire or cord that has any appearance of begin metallic. Metallic cord can carry electricity to your hand and cause painful injury or fatal shock. 4. If your kite does catch on a pole or tree, leave it tbere. If i too bad to lose it but making a new kite is fun — and climbing for the old one might result in a fall or electric shock. 5. Never fly your kite during an electrical storm. Ben Franklin used a kite in his experiment with electricity, but he was lucky not to have been killed. 6. When you're running to raise your kite or keep it in the air, watch your step, rather than your kite — it may save you a bad bump or tumble. 4<Kite-flying is a great sport for young or old, for beginner or veteran of many springs,** Nanry said, "and it can be safe if you keep in mind these rules."

Mrs. Meyer's visit last July 19 to the Village of Oberammergau, Germany, coincided with the presentation of the famous play which is presented there every ten years. Those who have seen her slides of the moving performance have expressed a wish to see them again. In addition, Mrs. Meyer will show pictures of the beautiful old churches and cathedrals she visited while on tour through Spain, Italy, Germany, France and Switzerland. The program will begin at 8 o'clock; anyone interested, as well as members of the Women's Fellowship are invited to attend. A business meeting will follow the program. - LOCAL ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Otto Poulson visited at the home of Mrs. J. M. McLucas in Brighton on Sunday.

New Advance in Sight Restoration Conservation Notes Exploratory oil and gas drilling was barred in state parks and recreation areas last week by the Conservation Commission. The restriction, focal point of a policy adopted to safeguard public recreation areas from oil and gas developments on p a r k lands, carries a "safety valve" clause to protect the State's mineral rights. Michigan's new parks permit requirement does not cover all lands within all state parks and recreation areas, Conservation Department officials explain in answer to questions about hunting and other uses which normally fall outside highly developer areas. Daily or annual permits are needed to enter any part of 40 extensively developed parks, but they are required only to enter major use portions of the other 15 parks and recreation a r e a s which come under the requirement. Most of the hunting lands at these 15 units are not located within major use areas. HOW TO MAKE A BUNNY AT HOME Terry toys have long been favorites with children but here is a toy that is fun for the entire family and can be made at home. It is a soft white cuddly bunny made from terry towels that is a hit in any situation. Try making it for a table decoration, a shower gift for the springtime crop of new arrivals or to amuse a child who must stay indoors. The main "makings" of the bunny are soft, white towels. Although the towels should be white as new, it is not necesiary to buy new ones. For grey, dingy harsh towels can be transformed to new whiteness and softness in modern laundering. It is not unusual in many busy households, to find some towels grey with "left-in" soil. Unless towels are laundered thoroughly every time, deep soil and stains become imbedded and they lose their attractive freshness. The answer is to wash them, everytime, with *n all-purpose deterf cnt, pllent ty off hot water and good laundry bleach beads. Fabric safe chlorine bleach in bead form removes deep soil safely and thoroughly. Another step in laundering < 4tcsy ttoowwee ls "the mm odern way is to restore them to "storerf New towel soft out the life of the towels or old harsh ones can be renewed with the simple addition of a 7 f ] of fabric softener to the final clear water rinse.

A man who has always lived fn darkness is given sight and cannot get over the wonder of color. A youngster runs freely after years of groping and hesitating. Miracles? Such cures would have been so defined a decade or two ago. Today, they are more commonplace — but still miracles to those who benefit from them. These cases of sight restored are the result of a delicate operation known as 'corneal transplant.' They are brought about by a truly priceless gift — the donation of sight from those who have died to those who still live. Not all cases of blindness can be cured in this way. But, where conditions are right, the results are 807* successful. The operation is well-known today; many famous and distinguished people are part of its program. But it has faced two major problems in the past. The first involved a misunderstanding. People 'willed' their, eyes. This, in spite of their excellent intentions, was useless. A will is read several days, or weeks, after death. C o r n e a m u s t be transplanted within a few hours. Today doctors and hospitals have r e l e a s e forms available, and those who have signed them make sure that friends and family know of their intention. The second problem was one of skill. This operation is so delicate that few surgeons — even expert ophthalmologists — were qualified to perform it. This led to the tragedy of sight donated, a blind person eagerly awaiting it, but no surgeon available to perform the transfer in the time limit. Obviously, the only solution was to furnish surgeons with a more accurate instrument. In the past few years, a *u p s # u • a e i e t « e m s remove ^ t s t e p m this direction has ^shin^Tdd ffiSSJ^SSH g • ! • « « £ throu^_the_efforts washing, add the softener each time you wash. See how harsh, stiff towels are made thirsty and soft, perfect for after bath luxuriousness or for making the cuddly bunny, as illustrated. DIRECTIONS 1.

He felt that the operation could be performed more quickly, more precisely, and by more surgeons if it employed a motor - driven surgical k n i f e . The 'transfer1 is such a delicate process that it calls for the ultimate in precision. But, when a motor-driven Instrument is used, it becomes an operation that hundreds of surgeons can perform. The motor adds priceless precision. The problem then was to find, or develop, the perfect motor. It had to be small, easy to hold, free of vibration. Further, it must not neat up in the hand, even when used for lengthy periods of time. Working with a surgical instrument firm, the doctor experimented with many motors and found what he wanted in a most surprising place — an electric shaver. Norelco's rotary action, which eliminates vibration and is designed for shaving comfort, proved to give the smoottt performance he was looking for. In order ttrms&e sure that the instrument was easy to hold, he selected a woman's model — the Coquette, because of its easily-held cylindrical shape. In using this new device (created by removing shaving head and inserting a surgical knife), the doctor found another boon: the operation could be performed in less time. A cut of 75% to 80% in operating time is vital to both doctor and patient. Today, the selected cases where corneal transplants work are infinitely more certain of success thanks to three things: more donors, the development of a new instrument, and the discovery of the proper motor — in a lady's shaver. COMING EVENTS The Parents Club is currently conducting a "Bakeless" Bake Sale to replenish the club treasury. Held in lieu of a project that would require much work and preparations, the drive should prove a boon to busy mothers and the club which recently purchased toys for the kindergarten, one dozen steel folding chairs and a chair-caddy to hold 50 chairs for the elementary school. Donations may be sent to the school through Friday, according to Mrs. Beverly Bowles, president.

Courageous , we say, because having no facilities with which to run a measured distanc e for pacin g of speed, being unabl e to have any 'home * meet s where students , parent s and those intereste d in one of the "noblest of sports'* can see the local boys partici - pate , the team deserves muc h credit . The lack of regulation trac k and field and knowing that they can not perform before their own students has not dampened the spirits of some twenty boys working with John F. Burg, track coach. The cost of track is nominal when compared to some of the sports as football. Pinckney's track teams effort has not been in vain, because the boys have given a good account of themselves despite handicaps.

We have completed our first countries project. All but 5 of us. Units on our states are going to be reported on all next week. By RUSS ENGELHARDT, Managm WHAT'S "ALL NUMBER CALLING"? It's the latest development in telephone numbering. Now, in many communities throughout the country, you dial seven numerals to make a local call—no letters. For example, KL 5-2368 becomes 555-2368—a true telephone "number." Why was this done? Simply because we're running out of usable letter-number combinations. If we're to continue to grow and provide good service, we need to use the more flexible **all numerals" system. Some Michigan communities already have i t More will begin to use it soon. You'll find this new system more accurate and we think you'll like it. MICHIGAN'S NATURALLY the motor center of the world.

One secret of its new, deck strength is the use of nylon, instead of cotton, thread. Slimming a cord seems like a small change—until you xeaHae that it wui save more than half a million dollars annually in cord costs! It's another instance of your .telephone company's constant search foe new ways to unpcove tbe equipment you use, while keeping the cost of your service low. We are making charts on them also. We have another 3 people not done, Our aluminum foil projects were very successful. There were many original articles completed. We have, a March Means Spring theme on the Bulletin Board.

The proposals would include adjusting the 1961 acreages of corn and other feed grains. To put such a program into operation for 1961 crops in a manner which would be fair to all growers, accurate data must be obtained immediately for the possible establishment of f e e d farms in the major feed gain grain base acreages for all farms in the major grain producing area. Such information will include the acreage history of corn, grain sorghum, barley, and oats, as well as the acreage devoted to the other crops and land uses, for all farms in the area where one or more of these feed grains were produced withing the past 2 years. Mr. Bontekoe explained that it is the intention, as far as posfor some worker from the County Office to interview each farm operator or owner in Livingston County whose farm has produced feed grains either in 1959 or 1960. 1893—1961 Over 68 Years of Banking Service PHONE HA 6-2831 Member F.D.I.C.

The test was administered in Pilgrim Hall. All students who wish to be considered for Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1962 are required to take the test. The qualifying test is a threehour examination of educational development. The test is the first step in the seventh annual competition for four-year Merit Scholarships provided by t h e National Merit Scholarship Corporation and by sponsoring corporations, foundations, associations and individuals. The number of scholarships awarded in any year depends on the extent of sponsor participation. In I960, 831 scholarships were awarded; 514 were provided by 115 sponsors and 317 by the Merit Corporation. There are 3,132 Merit Scholars attending 391 college in the current academic year. The scores of students who took the test on March 7 will be reported to their schools before the end of the spring semester in time for use by class advisers. The scores are used in many high schools to help students make decisions about college attendance and field of study. Many students who do not expect to win a scholarship took the test in order to learn more about their individual strengths and weaknesses in the areas measured by the test. NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE A report of a case of Trench Mouth in the high school h a s been brought to the attention of the administration. Please be advised that there is no cause for alarm. Recent medical surveys have shown that the infection is not as contagious as recently believed. However- Strict oral hygiene is most important; cleaning teeth well and flushing the mouth several times a day with a good antiseptic. When a member of the family has the infection his dishes must be kept separate from ths others and completely scalded after washing. Proper diet and plenty of rest are needed for the patient. School children using drinking fountains are reminded not to touch lips to the spout of the fountain, only to the stream of water. This report was written at the request of the Pinckney Community Board of Education. Dorothy Dinkel, R.N. SCHOOL CALENDAR Mar. 1 3 - 1 7 — Seventh and Eighth Grade Class Tournaments (basketball).

Co. Road System Offers Reward for Turning in Road Name Sign Molestors DEBATE TO BE PRESENTED The Speech Class will present a debate on the proposition: All nations should be admitted to the United Nations. The affirmative team consists of Linda Nash and Barbara Baughn. The negative team consists of Rachael Nash and Don Barker. T h e moderator is Roberta Logan. These students were chosen by Mr. Gibson to present the debate which will be given in an assembly. Due to the high rate of vandalism to signs on the Livingston County Road System t h e Board of County Road Commissioners is offering a $50.00 (fifty dollar) reward effective on March 3. 1961. for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone molesting traffic control or road name signs on county roads. Traffic control signs are necessary for the safety of motorists. Their destruction or distortion is a costly hazard not only to public safety but also because these signs must be maintained and replaced if destroyed. Two years ago the Livingston Countv Road Commission undertook a major sign problem. Reflectorizcd traffic control and road name signs were erected at intersections along primary roads. Today many of the YIELD and STOP signs show effects of vandalism. Some h a v e been completely destroyed and in a few cases replaced several times. Others have been the target of gun and rifle fire. According to Walter J. Clink, Supt.-Manager, the protection of these signs requires more than the efforts of county road employees and county police agencies, it is a problem concerning conscientious citizens and especially parents of young adults. It is the feeling of the Board of County Road Commissioners consisting of Norman S. Topping, Chairman, Fred Berry and Warren H. Anderson, members, that the preservation of public property, by the public, is a vital element in correcting this problem. FUTURE NURSES' MEET The Future Nurses held a meeting on March 6, 1961.

In an electrically heated room, the temperature seldom varies more than two or three degrees from floor to ceiling. There are no strong drafts—just even, cozy warmth. llili lii! :•:•;•» ADD MORE ROOM WITHOUT STRAINING YOUR PRESENT HEATING SYSTEM. Planning to enclose a porch or breezeway? Adding a bedroom or family room? Then be sure of cold-weather comfort by installing electric heat! It's easy and practical to do because electric heat is installed and operates independently of the existing heating system, no matter what type you now have. INSTANT HEAT. Electric home heating is fast because the heat source is right there, in the room. And independent operation makes it ideal in spring and fall when one or two rooms need heating while others are warmed by the sun. Individual thermostats in each room make it possible to keep rooms at different temperatures automatically. - MATCH THE HEATING UNITS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS CLEAN HEAT. Electric heat is heat by wire instead of fire—it never creates smoke or soot. Wails and furniture, draperies and carpets will require less frequent cleaning. Popular built-in electric heat systems use (A) cable embedded in ceilings, (B) baseboards, (C) forced air units or (0) radiant panels set into the walls.

On the work of Child Guidance Clinic at Lansing. 9. That 7 0 % of State A id was received. Mr. Walton gave a very detailed report on the comparison of the cost of the non-salary personal of our system with others of our size, and ability. Considerable time was spent in discussing this report. Nonsalary personal are comprised of "custodian crew, transportation office, and Food preparation". The report to date shows that this system on the whole is on a par with others. The committee is studying the possibility of improving the services by re-organization within this area. The Board gave their approval to the recommendations as submitted by this committee. To date any of the bids as presented on "dust collectors" and installation were not accepted. The Board is asking for bids from contractors in this area. The bids on the portable bleacher seats were examined. There isn't a great need f or large seating section. The Student Council at the Pinckney Elementary school offered to accept part of the cost of this project. This is the second project for this group within this school period — first was the blacktopping of the play section at the west end of the building. Motion by Walton, seconded by Basydlo that we accept t he offer of the Pinckney Elementary Student Council in sharing the cost of these bleacher seats and purchase two sections, from Monroe Seat Co. for a sum of $320.

These were in majority of requests. There were other numerous requests. Plans are being made for a "Fair beginning. In re-opening the request for annexation of the Stone School* Genoa # 5 at this time, the Board felt that the following problems have entered into the picture— 1. Opening of several large new subdivisions within t h is School District. 2. Unknown effect of the new "Expressways11 upon this Community. 3. The uncertainty of definite School Boundaries. 4. Increasing transportation costs. 5. Future plans of the State Conservation Commission l o r this Area. This request has been tabled indefinitely. The District will accept their tuition students. Supt. Reader gave a comprehensive report on the "Needs for Area's Handicapped Children" as presented by the County Board of Education on a County basis and also on local needs. The following is the summary of local needs— 42 — mentally handicapped, 1 homebound, 1 orthopedic* 17 speech correction, 61 visiting teacher, 6 blind and partial sight, 12 deaf and hard of hearing, 9 multiple handicap — total 149. Due to limited finances and lack of housing the Board felt that it should request the County Board of Education to promote this course of helpfulness on ft County-wide basis. Motion by Goucher, 2nd by Walton that the Pinckney Community Board of Education requests that the County Board of Education attempt to organize Educational facilities for the Area's Handicapped Children.

Ice Knights Hold Saturday Night Mee t at Big Silver Lake To the average reader that long-sought pot of gold at the end of the rainbow may not seem so difficult to reach after all, as compared with the pot of gold the Ice Knights were searching for on the bottom of Big Silver Lake Saturday night. To the fifty or more divers from various parts of Michigan it was just another contest in their annual ice-diving event in the meet sponsored by the Aqua Marine Diving Club of Dexter. A chip from the pot brought to the surface by a diver was exchangabk for a prize piece of diving equipment. In addition, each contestant was issued a card declaring him a fullfledged Ice Knight. Each diver attending the meet paid an entrance fee to help raise money for a much needed lecompression chamber for Michigan.

One of l a s t y e a r ' s "Best Dressed College Girls", selected by Glamour Magazine, she's one of this year's young American women featured, in a countrywide, February cross-section of regional fashions for spring. In one or two easy lessons on b i g c i t y chic, from the Grlamour editors, Norma learned that the key word is: Don't. Among other things she was told, "Don't appear on city streets in white or obviously sports shoes, in huge skirts with crinolines or with countrified accessories. And don't look girlish, cute, disorganized or faddish". Above all, she was urged not to confuse dressiness with sophistication and to Like most newcomers to New York, young Mrs. Carl Youngberg saw the city sights and wondered if maybe she wasn't one too! Clothes that were right in her own hometown of Maplewood, New Jersey, looked "out-of-town" in the world's biggest, most fashion-conscious city. But acquiring the polished "New York often cost more than the dress, are other points in Norma's new fashion curriculum p l u s mathematically perfect figurefitting for everything she wears. Enjoying big city night life with h e r n e w husband, the young matron was also advised to choose barely simple and simply dramatic, short dinner dresses and not to rely upon daytime clothes -to serve two purposes. While dining out in New York, the successful dinner dress should be sleek as a bathing suit and nearly as bare on top, say the experts, and don't forget the all important evening shoes, dressy bag, jewels and -gloves.

Handsome accessories, t h a t girlish tailored fabrics. Example: A cotton ottoman or a pale-toned jersey dress, with its own jacket, is a good bet this year.

Those lovely mocassins are in danger, too! You're a real "square" if you think t h a t Mrs. Meg Cubic is an amateur. As demonstrator for 500 color clinics, she overdressed above, to illustrate her instructions. A man's shirt, a paint hat, a pair of dungarees and feet wrapped in clean rags give her a pretty, as well as workmanlike attire for doing her redecorating chores. Women wear too many clothes or not enough rvhen they become do-it-yourself housepaintera. According to a survey among women painters made by Meg Cubic, of Tampa, Florida, home demonstrator for the Mary Carter Paint Company of this city, American women prefer to look wet paint squarely in the face or hide from it beneath an overbundance of clothes. Her advice to the underdressed lady who attacks the job dressed in a halter and shorts, and to the gals in a "space suit1' who wear too much is the result of a study she made with home economics and fashion people in over 190 areas throughout the country. The common-sense approach outlined below has proven its effectiveness time and time again. Meg says: a. Don't wear sneakers or shoes but wrap bare feet in old cloths to keep your feet from tracking spilled paint. b. Don't wear skirts or old dresses which are bound to rub against the paint area but wear old dungarees, old trousers or coveralls on which a few paint splashes won't matter. c. Don't wear blouse or halter. Use an old shirt of your husband's or brother's. d. No bandana will really keep your hair inviolate like the broad brim of an old beach hat. Better yet, you can stop in at the Mary Carter Paint Store here where they will give you a free painters hat and booklet on home painting hints (or write them in Tampa, Florida).

Francis L Shehan, Supervisor Gowan, the question of how many men are at hand is secondary to how well prepared they are to carry out the duties expected of them in the event of an emergency." A ranking officer of the U. S. Army observed at the time of the Korean emergency that, "If the National Guard is to perform its historical role as an integral part of the first line of defense of the United States it must adjust to the requirements of modern warfare." This adjustment to the missile age of warfare is well underway, in both ground and air elements of the National Guard, according to Gen. McGowan. In fifteen States, Army National Guard units man NIKEAJAX air defense sites. Soon a total of 82 batteries will be on-site in this program. In the Hawaiian Islands where Army and Air National Guard units are responsible for the island air defenses, the Guard maintains round-the-clock radar surveillance and is manning NIKEHERCULES b a t t e r i e s and fighter interceptor aircraft. Priority combat divisions of the Army National Guard are training in the employment of the Honest John artillery rocket and equipment soon will be in the hands of their picked batteries. In the air, squadrons of Air National Guardsmen play an important role in both air defense and tactical support. All of these squadrons are now fully jet-equipped including the supersonic F-104, the 1,400 mph Starfighter^ Air Guard strategic transport squadrons slated for M-Day •duty with MATS (Military Air Transport Service) are rapidly being equipped with giant Boeing C-97 Stratofreighters to give them a new and exciting global potential. As we man the exotic weapons systems and the types of units that are needed for modern warfare, the challenge facing: the Guardsman becomes more severe,** Gen. McGowan points out.

The story started in early October when twenty-two boya went out for freshman basketball. The story came to a conclusion last Thursday at Hartland. To begin with, the boys found that it was difficult for some to train their bodies to put a ba» ketball in a hoop ten feet above the floor. They also found thtf there were rules other than basketball which they had to comply with if they planned to play with the team. Grades had to be maintained, parties had to be forgotten, and the time devoted to practice. Training rules had to be followed (no smoking or late hours, etc.). Some of these boys had to walk home at night after practice. The picture was much dimmer for these boys after a couple of weeks of practice. Practice was tiresome and hard work. It was difficult to keep up grades after getting home from practice at 7 o'clock; tired and weary. Besides, the coach bellowed like a wild man every time they made a mistake. Then came the fint game, and the boys lost 33 to 11. As the season wore on, some of the boys dropped by the wayside. The effort one had to put forth was not worth the prize of playing a game. Last Thursday night at Hartland fourteen boys wrote t h e final chapter of the story. It was the last game of the season. The team record was not ggo od, but the boyys f the fact that they had been improving. No team had c o m - pietely outclassed them in the last four weeks as they had in that first game at Saline. The game started out nip and tuck. Suddenly the team jumped out in front by 9 points. Hopes were high. The whistle started to tell the tale. Capitalizing on t h e free throws, Hartland tied t h e score and went ahead at half time 26 to 20. The team h a d made simple errors and the coach had started to bellow. As the second half started, the starters had begun to foul out of the game. True, the score had even ed up, but the starters w e r e fouling out of the game one by one. The fourth quarter started with Pinckoey one point ahead. Four supposedly second stringers were now going to try to fill the shoes of the starters. On the previous Monday these same boys had been unable to do the job at Brighton. Bobby Darrow did a dribling act which amazed even the coach. Duane Knapp scored 13 points before he fouled out. Carl Sowers, Ray KeQenberger, and Gary and Danny Doyle each contributed key rebounds and buckets. The game was over, Pinckney had My hat is off to everyone of these 14 boys. Some of them are better basketball pfayen than others, but each of mem had stuck it out and in some way improved the team. Some of them will probably never play in a vanity game, but in my hook each and every one of them wfl m a m mighty taH Be* of kick to you boys, STUDENT COUNCIL The meetiqg was called to order at 2:45. The secretary's report was read and the roi was caled. Paul fiowefl gave the treasurer's report at the place of rascai core. Karl Burg gave a report on Lloyd Hendee the last Washtenaw County Student Council Meeting in Manchester. It was decided that Pinckney will have the next meeting on March 16th. The constitution was typed and it will now have to be approved by the administration and the student body. Mr. McCloskey suggested that we purchase a plaque to put up in the hall, with the names of the Valedictorians on it. A committee of Francis Clark and Shirley Mitchell was appointed to look into this. Friday, the 17th, we w i l l have a St. Patrick's Day Dance. The chairmen of this committee is Carol Miller and the workers are Nancy Read, Bob Beck, Gary Lee, Kaye Wylie, G a r y The next meeting will be on March 8th. ~* LOOKING AHEAD Tom Kennedy, John Wetherbee, Jim Wylie, and Mike Rooke are soon to be Marines. They will start their four year term after graduation on June 13, 1961. We'll be sorry to see them leave. We have already lost two of our high school boys to the Navy; they were Bob Rutter and Louis Hochey, who left at the end of the second semester. We wish all of the boys to best of luck. THE SENIOR TRIP The seniors are planning to go to Niagara Falls by boat this year on their trip. At the present about fifty Seniors have signed up to take part in this event.

I had many dreams of playing organized baseball, but these ambitions sever materialized. Even to this day I follow the sport very closely, and will be a very ardent fan for the rest of my life. My favorite subjects in high school were chemistry -and physics. I was very interested in the experiments of the different gasses and elements of chemistry. My favorite high school teachers were the late Professor J. P. Doyle and T h o m a s Hewlett, who is now engaged in the hardware business in Oregory. I worked with my father on the farm until 1940 when I decided to work for Detroit Edi son. The draft came along and in January of '41, I was induct ed into the Army. I am enclosing an army photo taken August, 1945, in Stendal, Germany, where I was spending a day visiting Captain Edward Howell, whom many will one of Pinckney1* great linemen, and a graduate of the 1937 class. I was discharged on October 30, 1945, and went into the livestock business with my father. On February 7, 1946, I was married to June Nuoffer of Holt, Mich., this, I must confess was the most important and successful venture of my life. We have three childre/i of whom we are very proud — Jeffrey, age 12, Lou Ann, 8, and Michael, 7. Your question of philosophy of life I will answer in s i x words—"Be a friend of the friendless.*1 This, in my mind, covers both business and my feeling toward mankind. In the business field the time to buy or purchase is when the items are at a low point, where t h e chance of gain is much greater. On the human side of this philosophy, none of us believe in kicking a person when they are down — these persons need a lift upward, not downward. On your questions of advice for high school students of this day, I would say, look and plan for a higher education; be flexible; look into the future; keep up on current events; be a part of your community; be friendly, and sometime during your high school days, take a long look at, and groom your personality. To the members of Pirate's Plank, I appreciate being one of the persons of our community that was picked to write in your column.

In the biennial spring election, coming up April 3 this year, two members of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan; two members of the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University; two members of the Board of Governors of Wayne State University, and a member of the State Board of Education, which supervises other h i g h e r education institutions, will be HOWELL Sanitary Co.

Statewide, two justices of the Supreme Court will be chosen, and a Highway Commissioner and Superintendent of P u b 1 i c Instruction will be elected. Many offices in local government units are to be contested in the spring election. Chances are the duties of all of them, from Supreme Court Justice to local constable, a r e better known to most Michigan citizens than the duties of the members of state education governing boards. Membership on these boards is not merely an honorary position. Nor are the Regents, Trustees, Governors and members of the State Board of Education mere watchdogs over the teaching and administration in Michigan's state colleges and universities, though this is a part of their responsibility. They are policy makers. They have the final say on who will teach and work in almost all the positions of responsibility in education in Michigan. They decide what will be taught and how it will be taught. They make the important rules that govern the operations of each college and university. Decisions made by these public officials set the pattern for LUMBER-COAL-FUEL OIL PROMPT DELIVERY rout «*om A iwcmw D.EJOEY PHOHI HA M i l t Michigan education right down to the one-room schoolhouse level. They have almost direct re* sponsibiliry over the hundreds of millions of dollars that are annually spent on education. The policies set by the boards cover the money appropriated by the Legislature for education, $108.4 million last year and undoubtedly more than that this year. They control to an extent the use of sales tax and other revenues which come to the state earmarked for education, and the local property tax dollars go to schools. It seems almost needless to point out that the best possible qualified people should be chosed for these positions of immense power. Political parties nominate the candidates for these offices; The state has been fortunate that in most instances over the years well motivated, high principled candidates have been presented to the voting public. But since the educational future of virtually every Michigan child is touched by the actions of the top educational govern ing boards, each voter should make his decision on the person he wants for each job on the best possible evidence of knowledge and qualifications of the candi dates. Blind partisanship is no basis for a judgement on who to vote for when so much is at stake. There it much talk in Michigan of taking numerous officers, not the last of which are auoc iatcd with education, out of the partisan arena. Some people and groups even advocate making many of the position! appointive. These ideas are valid subject! for debate. In the meantime, ballots must be cast in a partisan election -to pick* the Trustees, Rwgents, Governors and a member of the Board of Education.

Each person elected as a Trustee, Governor or member of the Board of Education serves for six years. Each Regent serves for eight. Politics have their place in the Michigan scheme of things. But maneuvering for partisan advantage has no place in the deliberations of Michigan educational governing boards. In order to keep it so. the voter should ask himself before he casts his ballot: Am I voting for the man who will make the right decisions about education, taking into consideration only the factors involved in the issue and the benefit of all the youth to be educated?

An The excitement of rehearsals of their play, "Courtesy and Mrs. Appleby" by Mrs. Tasch's 6th grade class is matched by the anticipation of the local audience waiting to see the production on Channel 10 next Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock.

Swainson's Proposed Tax Reforms Accomplish Purpose Tax reforms proposed by Gov. John B. Swainson h a v e already accomplished their purpose: To fulfill a campaign promise without starting a political fight. Democrats contend the plan has "something for everybody." The plan imposes a three per cent corporate and personal income tax, wipes out or reduces the most inequitable taxes on business and exempts food ami drugs from the sales tax. It gains no extra revenue for the state treasury, but offsets $418 million in new taxes with $418 million in tax relief. Perhaps it should make everyone happy, but opponents find two flaws: The plan cannot become law and it fails to solve Michigan's problems. Democrats say the tax relief wiU create prosperity and t h e existing taxes wit consequently grow into a flood of new dollar*. A main ingredient of the plan b optimism. But Republicans in the State Senate will reject anything with an income tax label. They proved that in 1959 and again when voters approved the one-cent sales tax increase in 1960. Liberals and pseudo-liberals like the Swainson plan because it is something fresh. All other tax ideas have threatened to pinch the family pocketbook. This one affects only t h o s e making more than $7,000 a year if they have a family and it's hard to feel sorry for someone who has a job when 320,000 Michigan workers are idle. Swainson had to come up with the plan. During his campaign for the executive office, he promised "fiscal reform," while hi* opponent Paul D. Bagwell backed the sales tax on the Nov. 8 ballot Swainson opposed it Swainson won and promptly endorsed the sales tax, which also won, because "the p e o p l e ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Clyde McCleer of Gregory, announce the engagement of their daughter, Mary, to William Navarre, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A.

We asked Geraldine if she would give the high school students some advice. She said, "Schools today offer students very high standards in education and a varied choice of subjects to fit into any walk of life. Take full advantage of your opportunities and learn all you can, for school days are precious, and they are the foundation of your future in these challenging times." When asked for her philosophy of life, Geraldine said, "The highest, the best, the most permanent pleasures are those which are not sought, but which come from the faithful fulfillment of life's duties and obligations."

Depositing Your Funds Be Sure You Know THE DIFFERENCE Some Savings and Loan Association* look like banks, but: Only a bank accepts deposits. Savings and Loan Associations accept investment in shares, Only as a bank depositor are you a creditor. Savings and Loan Association members are shareholders, Only from a bank ean you receive 8% interest (the highest rate permitted by law) as a guaranteed return on your savings. Savings and Loan Associations can only offer a dividend rate which nay be paid if earned Only from a bank are you guaranteed availability of your money upon request without extended delay. Applications for repurchase of Savings and Loan Association shares may be deferred for thirty days at the end of which a "take your turn9' plan may be put into effect Only a bank invests a large percentage of depositors funds in cash and negotiable securities so that depositors demands can be met without extended delay. Savings and Loan Associations loan out nearly all funds in long term mortgages and thus cannot guarantee to pay on demand. Only banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which is obligated to make depositors funds available promptly. The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation is not obligated to pay as long as an Association applies a stipulated percentage of its receipts to repurchase of shares in numerical order. Only a bank can offer complete financial services under one roof. Savings and Loan Associations can serve but a very few of your financial needs.

The program will be made available to pre-schoolers, 2nd, 5th, and 8th graders and to special cases referred by the family dentist. The charge for the cleansing and four applications will ba $3.00. The topical application of sodium fluoride to newly erupted teeth will reduce new tooth decay by 40% in groups of children. In addition to these benefits the program offers a valuable education experience with no discomfort involved and dental health education is given the child by the clinic personnel. The entire procedure consists of four visits to the topical fluoride clinic, which will probably be located in the Pinckney Elementary school. At the first visit the teeth are cleansed and the first application is given. An application of sodium fluoride consists of the teeth being isolated with cotton rolls; t h e n the teeth are dried with compressed air and a 2% solution of sodium fluoride is applied to the teeth with cotton tip applicators. On the second, third, and fourth appointments the application of the sodium fluoride is repeated.

Democrats around the state are calling meetings to explain Swainson's ideas. It will take nine legislative bills to enact the plan into law, requiring at least 18 votes in the Senate where Republicans hold a 22 to 12 majority and 56 in the House where Republicans hold a 56 to 54 edge. Many, weary of financial crises in Lansing and the threat of new taxes, are happy with the thought that the problem is solved without costing them more, but time will tell if their hopes are soundly based. Voters went to the polls to approve that extra penny of the PUTNAM TOWNSHIP BOARD MEETING Regular meeting of the Putnam Township Board, held at the town hall Tuesday, February 14, 1961 at 8 p.m. All board members present: Hendee, Reynolds, White, Wylie and Kennedy.

The $120 million will be piled on top of the $50 million in "nuisance taxes** due to expire June 30. If they do expire, it will be the first time in t he memory of man that temporary taxes have not become permanent And if they do expire, it will leave the treasury o n ly $70 million ahead. This is indeed a modest gain in the ligtt of the needs of state agencies, particularly the universities and colleges. N e w buildings have been under a moratorium for three years. The best bet around t h e capitol is that, if the nuisance taxes expire and if no n ew taxes are enacted, the next "crucial" crisis will arrive about the time Gov. Swainson's first term expires. But the Governor's promise has now been fulfilled. He has given Michigan a tax reform program and, if it is not written into law, will have a powerful argument when the 1962 campaign is launched. Remember this historical note: Gov. C Mennen Williams came to Lansing in 1949 advocating a corporation profits tax, an idea Republicans successfully resisted for 12 years. Political strategists for years have contended that if the legislature had given Williams all he wanted when he arrived, his departure would have been much sooner. Now it's Gov. Swainson's turn. To Republicans it sounds illogical, especially since it ts tied to the hated income tax. But, to a politician, logic is only valuable if it pays off at the ballot box. PINCKNEY DISPATCH Wednesday, March 1, 1961 But determining just what i* "reasonable use,* particularly when subjected to barrages of argument from various quarters with opposing interests, is a problem that can only become tougher as the population, economy and pressure of business increase and become more complex. The happy medium between conservationists and the tourist industry on one side and business and industry on the other is a shifting and elusive goal. Michigan's Northern peninsula remains accessible and crossable despite the a n n u al spring havoc of roads breaking up. The Highway Department says "frost free" highways now link nearly every major city in the Upper Peninsula. The announcement is of chief interest to truckers, of course, because it means there are no spring load restrictions on the "frost free1* system—except in rare cases of extreme weather. Highway officials say millions of dollars are saved annually because trucks can travel fully loaded throughout the year. A total of about 750 miles of nearly 2,00 0 miles of s t a t e highway in the Upper Peninsula now have the "frost free" designation, officials say. Improved trucking facil mean a better — and offtt# cheaper — life for Northcfr Michigan residents, the Highway Department says.

Fire Destroys Portage Lake Home Saturday Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the home of the Orin Marlow family at Swarthout's cove Saturday afternoon. Located on Kennedy Drive at Portage Lake, the house was in flames when the fire was first noticed by Ralph Curts and an Ann Arbor couple who were working on a new home nearby. The Pinckney Fire department was called at about 3:30 and worked for nearly three hours to brmf^he flames under -control. One wing of the house, a new addition was saved at that time although the interior was completely ruined by smoke and water.

Bocklund, Township Clerk George Washington, Smm Houston, Names on Immortal Roster EASY CREAM PIE Early Leaders Set Citizen-Soldier lards for Duty in Peace or War _ ^Washington, at the of 22, commanded a Vir- A .KUlte.. mfcftenfc in &t ich and Indian Wars. Even a young man, Washington believed in a principle which he later in life expressed in these words: "Every citisen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes not only a portion of his property but even of his personal services to the defense of it" Today, George Washington's Birthday is also widely observed as 7<National Guard Muster Day." On "Muster Day" the National Guard salutes the memory of the First President militiaman in the "civilian-soldier" tradition. • • * Sam Houston is remembered chiefly as the archit e c t of Texas I n d e p e n - d e n c e . L e s s known is that following War of 1812 service u n d e r General Andrew Jackson he became t h e Adjutant General of Tennessee. He was Tennessee's No. 1 soldier from 1818 until 1823 when he entered the United States Congress. * * * In the Mexican War a cry rang out above the din of battle on a fateful day at Buena Vista, "Stand Fast, Mississippians!" This was the* beginning of the legend of the famed Mississippi Rifles whose commander was — Colonel Jeff Davis. • * * Pitted against each other under the grim sky at Antietam on September 17, 1862, were the 69th New York and the 4th Alabama. It was a fitting symbol of the Nation re-united when these two regiments, redesignated the 165th Infantry (New York) and 167th Infantry (Alabama) fought shoulder-to-shoulder in France during World War I, with the famed 42nd Rainbow Division. "We are young men of promising pasts, but durned uncertafn futures," a young soldier wrote in Ohio Rainbow Review. By the time the Armistice brought WWI to a close the Rainbow Division was ampng those rated as toughest by the German High Command. Six of the eight "toughest" were National Guard divisions. The 1940-41 mobilization of the Guard immediately doubled the size of the Army. Nearly 80,000 Guardsmen were commissioned officers by the time they left active s e r v i c e . Twenty WWII Guardsmen earned the nation's highest award for valor, the Medal'of Honor. The first Guardsmen to see action in World War II were tankers and coast artillerymen who fought valiantly in the fall of the Philippines. Artillerymen from Texas were diverted to the Dutch East Indies where many volunteered for duty as B-17 gunners in the early, grim days of "too little, too late." • • • f Nine National Guard Divisions saw service in the Pacific and nine went to the ETO. The only U. S. WWII division with a name instead of a number WAS the "Americar (for Americans in New Caledonia). The hard core of this division, which saved Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, were National Guard regiments from North Dakota, Massachusetts, and Illinois. • • * In looking back at 34 campaigns, seven assault landings in WWII, Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson remarked, "The soldiers of the National Guard fought in every action in which the Army participated from Bataan to Okinawa. They made a brilliant record on every fighting front They proved once more the value of the trained citizen-soldier." From 44 federally-recognized I individuals enrolled in the Na-1 tional Guard in June, 1946, the membership swetted to 1*9*489 (including 44,728 in the Air National Guard) at the time of the outbreak' of hostilities in Korea, four years later. At A r l i n g - ton, Virginia, the Colors were symbolically returned to the States by President Harry S. Truman on Nov e m b e r 11, 19 46. As he launched t h e post - war National Guard into the era of the Cold War, he said, "I return these colors to the National Guard. I hope they will use them to train young men in the interests of peace and in the country. the welfare of "And," added the onetime captain of artillery of the Missouri National Guard, "I am sure they will do just that." Called? up in the "partial mobilization" of the Guard for Korea: Approximately one-third of the Army National Guard, about 85% of the Air Guard. California's 40th Division and Oklahoma's 45th Division were soon on the battle line in Korea. From Arkansas and Texas the 136th Fighter-Bomber W i n g was early into the fight It was not until February 1956, two and a half years after the Armistice that the last National Guard unit called in the emergency was released to State control * • * During 1960 both Army and Air N a t i o n - al Guard units took p a r t in important training e x e r c i s - es conducted by t h e a c t i v e forces. For the A i r G u a r d there was "Operation Bright Star/Pine Cone _ III," an important tactical air support test. The Tactical Air Force employed was commanded by a New Jersey Air Guardsman, Brigadier General Donald J. Strait. Another major accomplishment was the airlift of a complete Utah Army National Guard Artillery battalion from Hill Air Force Base (Ogden) to Puerto Rico, 3,500 miles. This was in "Operation Big Slam/ Puerto Pine," and marked the first airlift of an Army National Guard b a 11 a 1 i o n-size force over a great distance in an Active Army maneuver. The exercise was a 1009c success and prompted a Utah newspaperman to write, "We can no longer think of the National Guard as a Monday night sanctuary^ '' Cream pies, those culinary works of art that formerly required years of experience to make, have become favorite desserts for beginner cooks to prepare. By using a pudding and pie filling mix and simplified recipes such as this for Banana Delight Coconut Pie, the most inexperienced cook can produce a beautiful, tasteful cream pie, and it is literally a matter of minutes until it is ready to serve. Banana Delight Coconut Pie 1 package Jell-0 Vanilla 1 cup sliced bananas Pudding and Pie Filling (2 bananas) 2 cups milk Cinnamon 1 baked 8-inch ^ cup whipping cream Quick Coconut Crust 1 teaspoon sugar Prepare pie filling mix according to directions on package, cooling once or twice.

MICHIGAN IS SKILLED LABOR The success of Michigan industry and the rewards of working in Michigan have developed a great supply of skilled workers in our state. Michigan's workers are recognized for the ability to produce well above the national level. Recent government figures place their output at 18 per cent above.

Tuesday, Feb. 21 Dark. HAT FIBER GAINS STRENGTH WHEN WET? You Know THE DIFFERENCE Some Savings and Loan Associations look like banks, but: Onljf a bank accepts deposits. Savings and Loan Associations accept investment in shares, Only as a bank depositor are you a creditor. Savings and Loan Association members are shareholders, Only from a bank can you receive 3% interest (the highest rate permitted by law) as a guaranteed return on your savings. Savings and Loan Associations can only offer a dividend rate which may be paid if earned. Only from a bank are you guaranteed availability of your money upon request without extended delay. Applications for repurchase of Savings and Loan Association shares may be deferred for thirty days at the end of which a "take your turn" plan may be put into effect Only a bank invests a large percentage of depositors funds in cash and negotiable securities so that depositors demands can be met without extended delay. Savings and Loan Associations loan out nearly all funds in long term mortgages and thus cannot guarantee to pay on demand. Only banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which is obligated to make depositors funds available promptly. The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation is not obligated to pay as long as an Association applies a stipulated percentage of its receipts to repurchase of shares in numerical order. Only a bank can offer complete financial services under one roof. Savings and Loan Associations can serve but a very few of your financial needs. Compare the facts, the differences and the services available before you place your account.

The Juniors are making aVgtudy of early American literature. The sophomores have begun "Julius Caesar." Shirley Mitchell's descriptive sketch was chosen for publica tion in trie Dispatch this week. MY FRONT YARD I think my front yard, in the summer, is the most beautiful sight around. Often I sit- under the protecting mulberry t r e e , just studying the view about me. I absorb the fragrance of the stately pines that tower above me as I watch the squirrels scampering and playing in the trees. I love to sit and listen to the rustling of the cornstalks in the field across from me. A very common scene is one I hold dear; it is the one I view each time the dog chases my brother up the long, winding drive. Hearing the bark and the laugh of them, mingled with the smell of the fresh green grass makes me feel warm inside. I am happy, to, when I lie under the trees. The sharp needles of the pine and the soft grass beneath give me a secure, cozy feeling. All the while I listen, and watch, and drink in the beautiful sight before me. The sweet mulberries that I am eating refresh me more than any man-made food to be found. Mother Nature certainly gave me a wonderful gift; herself. Shirley Mitchell, Grade 9 JEST FOR FUN Lincoln was asked how long a man's legs ought to be to give him the most service.

Mrs. Vernon FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Once again the Freshmen went down to defeat as they fought a hard battle with Dexter last Monday, February 6. Dexter outclassed Pinckney 48-39. Our Freshmen played their best game of the year, but still had to take a loss. As we said before, they were fighting all the way. Gary Hull was in a class all by himself when he showed great skill in scoring from the outside as he guided the Pirates with 20 points. This is the high score for the team this year. The Pirates will be trying to boost their record in wins next Monday when they meet the Brighton team in the P.H.S. gym. Reporters, Jim Barker, Larry Hull THURSDAY NIGHTS BASKETBALL GAME Everyone who went to the game at Ypsi (Roosevelt) felt it worth their while. The boys played their best through both games. When the Junior Varsity played, they led in the first t w o quarters on and off, and it looked as if they were going to win. but by a few lucky shots Roosevelts' J.V. won by a score of 24-21. The Varsity game was not as close as the J.V.'s, as we trailed by about seven all the way through — but then we wanned up and soon we were ahead by one, and it would have been three as Terry Rowell made a great basket just as they called time! The fact still remains that for the last 17 seconds we kept them from scoring, and we won with a close score of 63-62. GIRL'S BASKETBALL Two girls' basketball games were held at Pinckney High on Tuesday, February 7. The girls participating in the first game were: Cheryl V a n Norman, Chiquita Amburgey, Sharon Courdway, Nancy Ritter, Gail Smith, Pauline Stapleton, Karen King, Florence Morofka, Judy Haines, C a r o l LUMBER-COAL-FUEL OIL PROMPT DELIVERY HHRMP ^^^HBv e) ^^^Wv AOTCUlfY I.E.

The clinic will start promptly at 1:30 P.M. and will c o v e r modern practices and the economic benefits of pre-emergence weed control in corn. A color motion picture will show new production methods and results obtained. Emphasis will be placed upon those methods which experiment station tests and commercial growers' experience have proved most effective in reducing costs of corn production. This is because increased corn yields with greater net return per bushel will be of prime importance in 1961. ATTEND MEETING Mrs. Stackable, Mrs. Kelknberger, and Mr. Dunn attended a meeting at the Union Building Wednesday evening, February 9. The meeting was under the auspices of the Child Guidance Clinic. Dr. Ralph Rabinovitch, Director of Hawthorne Center, Northville, gave the main address. He talked about retarded children, and the care needed and provided for them. Dr. Rabinovitch made it clear that much research is needed before complete and satisfactory answers can be given to the problems of these children. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS The Homemaking 3 class at Pinckney High School has been studying nutrition for the past three weeks. During the study of nutrition the girls decided that they would like to get two white rats and perform a nutritional experiment on them. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the whole thing. Carolyn Cosgray volunteered to buy the rats for us over the weekend and bring them to school with her on M o n d a y morning. Carolyn went ahead and bought them on F r i d a y night. Much to her surprise, when she went down to look at them on Saturday morning, there were nine rats instead of the previous two. That is, mother and father and seven babies. As it turns out the experiment will have to be delayed for a couple of weeks. The class is now planning to use the babies in the experiment. The girls will feed two of the rats a balanced diet, and two of them a diet of favorite teenage foods, such as potato chips, coke, and c a n d y bars. They hope to find out what different effects the t w o diets will have on the growing bodies of the four little experimental rats.

This includes both community and state levels. And probably there h a s never been a time when people of the state were as willing to work together in such programs. Unemployment figures, business reports and recently t h e announcement that Norge will move its Muskegon Heights plant to Arkansas made it quite clear in everyone's mind that the economic climate in Michigan is in serious need of improvement— and now. The Norge incident is dramatic evidence of a situation which has been in the news for many months. For a year the rumor had been rife that the plant would be mbved. Community leaders and representatives of the state Economic Development Department worked hard; even desperately to hold electric refrigerator production here. But is became apparent that the new, one million square foot plant near Fort Smith, Ark. could easily produce both gas and electric models. On Feb. 1, it was announced that the somewhat antiquated plant in Muskegon Heights would be closed. Arkansas* Gov. Orval Faubus incidentally, lost no time in claiming that the state's g a i n was largely the result of legislation adopted recently and designed to lure industry there. They have a law which permits municipalities to issue revenue bonds to build plants for industry. Greenwood, Ark., a suburb of Fort Smith, issued a $7,5 million bond issue to build the Norge plant. Michigan leaders must now decide what programs this state will adopt to help its situation. The newly elected Governor, John B. Swainson, indicates that he will have several recommendations. One approach to receive serious consideration involves a way for the state to aid local groups financing construction of buildings for lease to industry. In the past this and similar programs have been considered too liberal by the Legislature. But other states, some of them with a reputation for being conservative, have adopted such programs. To many in this state, especially the hard working staff of the Economic Development Department, some new programs are weapons urgently needed for the fight to attract industry. Conservative Maine has sort of industrial FHA plan. So does Rhode Island. The state guarantees up to 90 per cent of a loan made by a bank in co-operation with a community industrial development group to build a plant for lease to industry. In both states the plan seems to be working well. In Maine the plan was delayed a year while it went to a vote of the people and then to the supreme court. Attorneys say that in Michigan too, a constitutional amendment would be required and a supreme court test could be expected to follow. This would take important time** • * * Pennsylvania has advertised for several years that "100 per cent financing of industrial plants*1 is available. In fact, Pennsylvania has spent s o m e - thing more than half a billion dollars for this advertising atone. Five years aap the Pennsylvania legislature appropriated $5 million for plan construction loam. From year to year additional sums have been appropriated, to a present total of $18 million. For each plant construction pro* ject that qualifies the state loan* a third of the cost, and a community industrial development corporation and a local bank divide the rest. Commitments from the state funds have reached more than $16,000,000. One job was created, Pennsylvania estimates, for every $654 loaned by the state. Payrolls created are estimated at $82 million a year. A standard assumption would show one per cent of this payroll paid by the recipients in direct and indirect taxes to the state and its local units of government, which would mean a million dollars coming back in taxes each year on $16 million of loans. Republican Governor Rockefeller recommended to N e w York legislators this winter a plan similar to the one in Pennsylvania. "I am convinced," said Gov. Rockefeller in his opening message, "that this proposal c a n provide us with a more basic approach to the problems mod with an important addition* al means of attracting private capital . . . Its efforts in surplus labor areas would be remedial —in other areas, preventive. Its financial assistance should be made available through n o n - profit local development corporations composed of leading citizens concerned with the economic growth of their communities.** LIBRARY NEWS The family of the late Lynn Hendee gave the library $25 as a memorial to him.

White, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hollis G. White, of E. M-36, was recently awarded the American Spirit Honor Medal at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The American Spirit H o n o r Medal is an award to a military trainee who, while undergoing basic training, displays outstanding qualities of leadership best expressing the American Spirit —honor, initiative, loyalty, and high example to comrades in Arms. Airman White, a 1958 graduate of Ptnckney High School, attended the University of Toledo for one year before entering the Air Force. While as Lackland he has been assigned in the basic medical course of t h e 3275th Technical School. The award was presented to Airman White at graduation ceremonies by Major James L. Bethurum of the 3275th Technical School. Airman White will attend the Medical Material Specialist Course at Gunter Air Force Base, Alabama, upon leaving Lackland. HERBERT DAVIS Herbert "Bert" Davis, 79, of Howdl died at McPherson hospital Sunday. Mr. Davis, wellknow in this area, is survived by his wife, Minnie, and one sister, Mrs. A. Arnold of Lansing. Funeral services are to be held this afternoon at 1:30 at the Schnackenberg Funeral Home with the Reverend J. W. Winger officiating. Burial will be in forestall such a fate for Pinckney Community Schools area. Symptoms of Hepatitis include loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, fever, muscle pains, abdominal distress, and jaundice or yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. Evidence shows that Hepatitis is spread from person to person through the intestinal route, as in typhoid fever. It is believed to be water borne, food borne, and possibly milk borne. Prevention can best be accomplished by a high standard of personal cleanliness and com* munity sanitation. Children should be taught to wash their hands thoroughly after going to the toilet. Safe sewage disposal is essential, preferable by means of a public sewer or a septic tank in good operating condition. A safe water supply is also necessary. Strict habits of cleanliness are to be upheld by everyone, not just the children.

Many times the people of the community have asked, "What is Kiwanis?" "What do they, do?" "Who belongs to Kiwanis?" I would like to answer these questions in a few short paragraphs. To begin with, Kiwanis is a service organization. Our motto is "We Build" We attempt to serve our community in such a way that the community can build a better tomorrow. Our Pinckney Kiwanis Club offers support to the following organizations: Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Pinckney Community Schools. We have organized and operated the summer baseball league. We offer awards for achievement in the school system such as Boys State, Girls State, Camp Interlocken. We have helped to pay the expenses of students to the Boy Scout Jamboree and t h e Girl Scout Jamboree. With the cooperation of t h e school authorities we have secured such items as glasses,! shoes, and other clothing which the parents of some of the students could not afford. In every case in which I use the pronoun "we", you the citizens of this community were included. None of these community services would be possible without t h« help of you, the citizens of Pinckney. Kiwanis members come from every walk of life. Our membership numbers a preacher, a druggist, an electrician, a prison farm worker, a butcher, and*a doctor. I can think of only one occupation which is represented by more than one member of our club. Each of our members recognizes a responsibility to a supreme being; there are at least six faiths represented in o u r Club. The basic thing which we all nave in common is the desire to work together to improve oui community. I I T H I l RAPTIST CHUtCH 4040 Swatine* Reed HOWIU. MICHIGAN Rahart M. Ttylar, Peater Services!

MICHIGAN MIRROR Echoes of unemployment in this state reverberate from legislative halls to relief lines and vice Arersa. Since most goods and services in the state are consumed at a higher rate by working people than unemployed, nearly everybody feels the effect of econmic hardship caused by unemployment. The year 1961 has started out as if it were going into a less than satisfactory one from the employment standpoint. • • • Though some economists and politicians too, hopefully predict an upturn in the final half year of 1961, the fact is any period of poor economic conditions is felt for a long time after things improve. Take two of Michigan's major, non-manufacturing industries, for example. Farmers don't sell as much food when Michigan f a c t o r y workers are out of jobs. While much farm produce is shipped out of the state, the Ijjggest market is still at home. Tourist and resort operations account for another big slice of Michigan business each year. But out-of-state people alone don't bring prosperity to the owners of hotels, motels, stores, gas stations and the hundreds of other businesses surrounding the Michigan recreation areas. Michigan is not alone, of course, as a state with recurring unemployment problems. However, the problem here is with us time and again, and always produces a hitch in state operations as well as in the economy as a whole. It's like an athlete who runs a continuous 100-yard dash, but falls into a hole every 25 yards. Things race along between unemployment seizures, but! every time the state falls into a hole, it must painfully crawl out and get back on its feet before: it can start running again. State fiscal officials take into consideration the trials and tribulations of the economy when they estimate revenue for a given year. Lawmakers too would like to gather an intimate knowledge of the workings of the economy to help them in planning for expenditures and decide what can be done in what year. Committees working on the program are in operation. More people will tackle the same issues from time to time and from different angles. Whether government intervention, either state or federal, win ease the problems which unem- IN MNCKN6Y WEDNESDAY «>d SATURDAY TOWNSHIP CAUCUS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a DEMOCRAT TOWNSHIP CAUCUS for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for Township Offices of the Township of Putnam.

Comm. ployment creates in an economy like Michigan's is a question only trial and error will answer. Argument over "guided economy" versus "laissez faire" willj likely go on. At the same time, government will likely continue to operate more and more programs aimed at blostering sagging sectors of the economy. Numerous federal programs are in the works. Some would try to guarantee less drastic peaks and valleys in the employment picture. Others would aid chronically distressed areas. Almost all would apply in some way or another to Michigan. Gov. John B. Swainson, for one, has his eye on area redevelopment legislation before t h e federal Congress. He thinks we have fruitful training ground in Michigan for testing such a program. SHOULD TRUCKERS try to hoodwink the state on weight taxes, they would face a virtual army of investigators and observers. Secretary of State James M. Hare said officers from h i s branch of the government, whose job it is to see that commercial vehicle registrations accurately reflect the size of the vehicle being registered, work closely with the weighmasters division of the Highway Department and the enforcement officers of the Public Service Commission. The State Department officers carry a book with them showing each commercial registration by license number and size. * • * When an obvious discrepancy between actual weight and registered weight turns up, spotted by men of one or the other of the agencies concerned with these things, further investigation often leads to other violations.

AN EXPERIENC E IN AFRIC A I often imagine tha t I am in a jungle in darkest Africa. Everythin g aroun d me is beauti - ful. The trees and bushes flame with many-colore d flowers. Tropical birds lend their splendo r to the scene. I listen to the man y noises in the jungle: the hipp o in a nearby river splashing his tail against the water, birds screechin g over scraps of food, the calls of the wild animals , and the ever-pre - sent beatin g of native drum s telling of my presenc e here . The natives are near . I hear the fire crackling; I smell t h e wild game roastin g on the pit fire, mingled with the strong accent of tropica l flowers. The native eyes are upon me. I feel the shiny, black eyes piercing me. I am afraid. A NE W COLUM N At the suggestion of Pamel a Hoeft we are going to get in touc h with some of the former graduate s of Pinckne y H i g h School .

The crack Latin-American correspondent Jules Dubois, speaking Saturday night called upon newspapers to help improve our relations with countries south of the border. "Our relations with L a t i n America are perhaps the most challenging of all our problems" he stated. He pointed out that the theft of communications, business, industries and agriculture in Cuba by Castro and the attempted mass brainwashing of the p e o - ple constitutes "the most complete confiscatory plunder in the contemporary history of Latin America, and follows the party line laid down by Mikoyan ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Howell of Pinckney announce the engagement of their daughter, Carol Ann, to Edsel R.

Today's Hobby - Yesterday' s Traged y "If the ancient Roman 'Feast of Lupercalia" hadn't undergone a radical change through the years, we'd now be readying a February 14th celebration that the young men of this nation might welcome"—according to Bert Bacharach, columnist, author and authority on abstract information.

The one selected by each man became his sweetheart for the next year and gifts and tender messages were exchanged." "The messages—our Valentine cards—are all that's left of Lupercalia for the man," sadly noted Bacharach. "Valentines' pay has become a one-sided occasion with the gals cleaning up on heartshaped boxes of candy, flowers and—more often than not—much costlier items. The men have all but been forgotten!" "Today's Valentine's observation began when the Romans became Christianized. Lupercalia was "a little too wild for them," so when the two St. Valentines were martyred on February 14th, the February 15th celebration of Lupercalia was move up a day, and has come down to us in that form." explained Mr. Bacharach. "Somewhere along the line." noted Mr. Bacharach darkly, "the women took Valentine's Day over. It would be nice to get this lovely holiday back on the track with a return gift of something masculine and fashionable like a box of cigars, a necktie or even a monoed shoehorn." The year 1961 will mark the Centennial of the Civil War, the most tragic five-year period in the history of the United States. T o d a y 's generation, however, prefers not to remember the scars of that conflict but rather the lessons it taught and the fact that pur Union was preserved. Looking at it still another way, that period of our history represents the foundation of one of the liveliest of hobbies — the collection of Civil War memorabilia. I t is constantly expanding.

JUDGING OTHER PEOPLE It has been said that y o u should not judge anyone unless you want to be judged. Everyone is quick to judge or criticize other people. It is a cruel and thoughtless thing to do. The Indians have a saying that one should not judge another until he has walked in the other mocassins for two moons. After all, how does one know how he would act in another's problem? Probably he could not even do as well as the other person is doing. One of the most famous c;ises of judging is the time M a r k Twain judged his father to be very stupid. Later he changed his mind and said "'1 used to think, when I was 18. that my father did not know anything." "Now that I'm 21. I'm amazed how much he has learned in three years." In America, we have full freedom of speech, so we take advantage of it. in judging every move our political leaders make. We don't stop to think how hard they may be trying. Of course, when we meet strangers we should study them carefully, and if we judge them to be undesirable for friends, we can leave them alone, but not hurt them. Howard Singer's descriptive sketch was chosen for publication in the Dispatch this week. GRANDMOTHER'S KITCHEN The kitchen at grandmother's is always cheerful. The old stove with the red fire peeking through the tiny vents at the top, and the crackling of the wood as it burns makes me want to stay in the room. There is usually some wonderful smell coming from the kitchen. The place gives me a tickling sort of feeling when I enter, especially at Christmas and Thanksgiving time. When there is a turkey or a chicken in the oven, I can almost taste it, just from the good smell that reaches me. The old pictures, ancient guns, and the quaint dishes displayed on the walls help to give the room its charm, too. but. most of all, it is the warm-hearted people who a r e always there to welcome me that makes it a place of cheer.

Mike Wiltshire, Reporter MICHIGAN MIRROR State of Michigan scientists keep a sort of long range e y e on atom bomb testing throughout the world. Their aim is to make s u r e surface waters in the W a t e i Wonderland do not accumulate excessive amounts of radioac tivity. Actually, the men of the Water Resources Commission who check the lakes and streams have no real connection with the testing of nuclear weapons. But the number of atomic devices exploded around t h e world are reflected in the Mich igan reports. Latest report from the com mission showed only one-tenth the amount of radioactivity recorded in surface water d u r i n g the latter part of 1959 was present during 1960. Loring F. Oeming, chief engineer for the Water Resources Commission, said the lower lev els of radioactivity seen in 196C stemmed from the fact that there was no nuclear bomb testing sinme late 1958. He said that during the five years that regular tests h a v e been made, radioactivity leveh have fluctuated in direct relation to the extent of atomic weapons testing by the United States and other countries of the world. Even at their peak, radiation levels were well below recognized permissible concentrations, Oeming said. The Water Resources Commission maintains 32 sampling stations with 13 of them located on the Great Lakes on connecting waters, he said. Fourteen municipal water supplies are also constantly checked. Cities which have their water supplies watched are B e n t o n Harbor, Grand Rapids, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Escanaba, Marqueue, Alpena, Saginaw, Port Huron, Mount Clemens Detroit, Monroe Flat Rock and Dundee. All testing stations are at public water supply intakes, industrial water intakes or other strategic locations. Plants and animals t a k e n from the water at the Charlevoix and Monroe testing stations are checked further to determine how much radioactivity is absorbed, Oeming said. Data which comes out of the monitoring program is u s e d by federal, state and local governments in a variety of ways, and by private concerns, he said. Michigan schools profit from funds which wining gamblers fail to collect. Under a 1951 law, pari-mutual tickets bought by forgetful wagerers on1x>rses which run in the money are paid to the State Board of Escheats, if the holder of the ticket doesn't show up within a year after Sept. I oflhe year in which the ticket was purchased. Though the total of money collected in this maner is small in comparison with annual budgets for state agencies as a whole, it usually amounts to several thousand dollars. All money escheated to the state eventually goes into the primary school interest fund. From there, it is evenly divided among the school districts on the basts of the number of school-age children (five to 19 years old) living in the district, whether they attend school or not. State school aid payments to districts are reduced by t h e amount received by the district from the Primary Fund, however, $o it is really the state's General Fund which profits most directly from the uncashed racing bets. Still, the net effect is to make more money available for use by schools. Rabies-infected shunks hit a new high in Michigan during 1960. Forty-four out of 70 cases of rabies recorded by the S t a t e Health Department were among the pungent smelling, black-andwhite little animals that roam Michigan's woodlands. Fourteen dogs, six cats, five cattle and a bat were also found to be infected with the disease this last year. Even though the 70 cases reported last year were 18 more than were discovered during the previous year, the record was still less than 10 per cent of the all-time high incidence year for rabies, 1940. Some 715 cases of the dread disease were recorded in 1940, with 598 of them in dogs. Since that time, the Health Department said, a drive to have all domestic dogs vaccinated against the disease has paid off. Pets still need to be immunized, the department said, and Spring, wh^n both domestic and wild animals start to move around more, is a good time to have it done. State Police "Jocko," the newly acquired Michigan State Police tracking dog, and his handler, Tpr. Richard Abbott, Erie post, scored a success in their first try as a man-dog tracking team in trailing a suspect who had been surprised in the act of stealing gas from a truck in Erie. The suspect, Richard Berninger, 17, Erie, tracked to his home by "Jocko," 85-pound German shepherd police dog, over a circuitous five-block distance, admitted the larceny attempt to officers. Erie post officers were f i r s t to arrive at the suspect's home however, having checked the registration of a car abandoned at the larceny scene. When questioned, Berninger claimed h i s car had been stolen. Confronted by "Jocko's" tracking ability, Troopers said the youth then confessed to the larceny attempt and -admitted the stolen car report was false. "Jocko" is the State Police department's first police d o g and was received as a gift from Southfield, Mich., last August, the Liebestraum Kennels in Trooper Abbott and the dog completed 14 weeks of training at the St Louis, Mo., police department's canine school early in December. The team will be transferred soon to East Lansing headquarters.

Beverly Campbell PINCKNEY DISPATCH Wednesday, February 1, 1961 Heavy Outlays for Aid to Polio Victims on March of Dimes Funds "The ^ tion has tbd^ftinctioa; and the honor 3|^ haviiigg exhausted its Mitch of Di funds for patient ^aid/* Basil O'Connor, its pxiitdefrt, an nounced recently^ 4*Thereior«Y the Mixch of Dimes has t •WRiilUcwi job to do in im,« he * i L "But w ^ l tremendous |ob relied on tb A havt had a to and have tbft fjpican people for ananqfitt sixftport through the Marcfc. ** Dimes each January," he sajd. HAt the same time, however, vrt do not live iust from year to year but build broad research, educational and patient-aid programs for much longer periods. Continuation of these programs will require $45 million in 1961." Speaking of the "urgent monetary needs of the 1981 New March of Dimes," to be held Jan. 2-31, the leader of the world's largest voluntary health organization explained that in 1960 about one-third of its 3,100 chapters had gone into debt to meet hospital and other bills for aid to polio patients. "But our chapters are proud that they have not built up bank balances at the expense of human lives,'1 he said. Since 1938, when The National Foundation (for Infan tile Paralysis) was organized, a total of $325,200,000 has been spent for direct patient aid to polio victims. In 1960, the bill was about $13,250,000 for some 40,000 of the polio-stricken. Although the Salk vaccine has been available to the public for five years, patient*aid -costs remain high chiefly for those stricken before the vaccine was developed, or for those who since 1956 neglected to get inoculated and thus contracted polio. March of Dimes monetary assistance to individual polio sufferers has sometimes been extremely great. To cite two instances only, patient-aid costs in the case of Mrs. Ingeborg Cully, of New York City, thus far have totaled about $25,000 and the end is not in sight; while expenditures for Tommy Davey, sixyears old, of Boston, have reached $50,000. Aside from the enormous financial toll in patient aid, substantial New March of Dimes contributions must also be used for research. Since 1938 The National Foundation has allocated $64,600,000 on its broad-based international research program which has produced, among other outstanding achievements, the Salk and Satin polio vaccines and, incidentally, two Nobel prizes. In 1960, research funds are estimated at 15,000,000 covering The National Foundation's three health areas of birth defects, arthritis and polio. More than twice that sum, or $10,400,000, is needed for research in 1961. March of Dimes contributions have also made possible the largest education program for the training of medical and health experts ever attempted by a voluntary health agency. Since 1939, when The National Foundation launched its program of professional education, outlays in this field have totaled $34,900,000; in 1960, a total of $1,500,000 in March of whilf another $50,000 Examples: $25,000 was spent on Ingeborg Cully . jDimes public contributions was required for the health organization's professional education activities. In 1961, $3,900,000 is needed for this part of the program.

WYNNf CHESTBt SAYS: Shooting Preserves Guarantee Good Hunting Shooting preserves are becoming more popular each year, thank goodness. A shooting preserve, you know, is privately owned land on which game is released to provide sport for hunters. A fee is usually charged. Shooting preserves are just perfect for sportsmen, or sportswomen, who haven't time to' spend long and perhaps wasted hours searching for unposted land. And they're ideal for initiating youngsters into the thrilling sport of hunting. The preserves guarantee good hunting, in the form of flying lcaal game. This game is every bit as hard to hit as the wild variety. But that doesn't mean it can't be done-even by you and me! Lots of women are bagging pheasant, quail, chukar partridge and mal lard at hunting preserves. And what a feast the bag makes! Shooting preserves offer another big advantage. Many states allow them an extended season, and in some states there's no season limit at all For a really different and delightful holiday or vacation, why not take your whole family to a shooting preserve? There's probably one not far away. Be sure to make reservations. For a list of American shooting preserves, write to the Sportsmen s Service Bureau, 250 East 43rd Street, New York, N. Y.

Conservation Notes "If I buy an anual s t a t e park windshield permit, do I still have to pay 50 cents every time I come to the park? If I change cars during the year, can I remove the permit and put it on my new car?" These are two of the many questions that Michigan's parks permit requirement has raised during its first month. The answer to the questions above it "no." Parks users need either a $2 annual or a 50-cent daily permit, not both. However, if a family owns two cars and has a permit on one, it must buy an annual or daily permit to enter parks with the other. Permits are not transferable from one car to another. Here are other questions which parks managers are being asked. "You mean I even have to have a permit in the wintertime?" Yes, the permit requirement went into effect January 1 at 55 of 62 state parks. Parks men are issuing violation notices to visitors who don't have permits on their cars. Persons receiving these notices either have a five-day "grace" period to buy annual permits or must purchase a daily permit before leaving parks. Actually, it will pay those who plan to swim, picnic, and camp at parks this summer to buy their annual permit now so they can Legal Notices STATI Or MICHIGAN The Probate Court for the of Livingston.

Goest STATE GRAVEL HIGHWAYS THING OF PAST (from the Bay City Times) Manv okitimers, and manv not so old. raised their eyes in amazement over a recent statefnent by Michigan Highway Commissioner John C. Mackie. Mackie announced that the last mile of existing state gravel highway would be paved by this summer. This will mark the end of the use of gravel for road surfaces by the State Highway Commission. Only 50 miles of gravel road remain in the state highway syster. Mackie revealed. Some of this unpaved mileage includes stretches of M-65 in Alpena county and of M-35. M-28 and M-48 in the Upper Peninsula. As late as 1957. the s t a t e highway system still had more than 800 miles of gravel roads. A big push launched by the Highway Department to h e l p boost the tourist trade and to provide better roads for residents of the community, farmers, loggers, hunters and fishermen resulted in the approaching end of the gravel highway. It has not been too m a n y years, the early 1920's to be exact, that there were few if any miles of pavement north of Bay City. Jt was an important event SNEDICOR'S CLEANERS IN PINCKNEY WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY ' 220 So. Michigan Ave. HOWELL PH. 330 when roads to the Northland, all too often filled with sand holes and muddy bogs that lurked in wait to trap unwary motorists, were given even a gravel base. Today, speeding to the state's famed resort areas via modern expressways, motorists h a v e little idea of the hardships t h e pioneer auto owners endured to travel even a few miles. These modern motorists would be greatly surprised if they knew how few years separated these super-roads from the early stage coach and wagon trails that traversed Michigan.

Th« forum, p u t of MStTi Ftrmtxt* Now cars traveling state highways during spring break-ups will no longer return home mudspattered and badly wracked by gravel roads that are washboarded or full of spring-damaging holes. We wish we could honestly say we are sorry to see to end of the graveled state highway. But honestly, we cannot, nor can we find anyone else to mourn the passing of the graveled road from our extensive state highway system. And think of the*3 boost we can give our resort business by bragging — and don't forget to brag about this — that every mile of state highway in Michigan now has a hard-surface to speed tourists to their favorite vacation spot.

SEMESTE R EXAMS: Freshme n comments : "I honestl y believe tha t you learn from tests and exams, " Mike Rowden . "Semester exams furnish one good way to show how muc h a person has learne d in a halfyear of school. " Fre d Lindsay. "When semester exams com e along, you should be willing to give up your time and pleasure to study." Sharo n Courdway . "This may seem odd for a studen t to say, but 1 like semester exams, " Pat Borovsky. "Exams are not as killing as I had though t they were, but 1 can' t say that I'll be unhapp y when they are over." Howar d Singer. "My semester exams will be hard for me this year, as they will be for man y Freshmen . The reason : most of us have not learne d the fundamental s of studying." Chery l Van Norman . "AH you can do for semester exams is brush up, or refresh your min d with what you may have learned.' * Duan e Knapp . ADVICE TO A FRESHMAN FROM A SENIOR . . . Attention , Freshmen : You have now experience d somethin g that most student s hate —exams. Ho w did you do? No t so well? I wonder why? Foolin g aroun d in your classes and drifting along with poor marks won't help when your exams roll around . Don' t get me wrong; of course high schoo l years are the best years of your lite, but ther e is a time and place for everything. Take a look at the student s aroun d you, particularl y t h e seniors. The reason I say seniors is because it seems to be only the seniors who are now beginning to realize the importanc e of good marks; they'r e crammin g like crazy! They know tha t good marks aren' t for parent' s approval alone , but for a passport to college as well. Although good grades are imffertant, they aren' t the whole thing, either . Your attendanc e recor d shows whethe r you are a responsible person or not . Try a little harder ; cut down on the goofing, and treat yourself to a good, full education . By U N o Ho o WORDS OF WISDOM FROM 'POOR RICHARD'S ALMANA C . . . The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise. He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows, nor judge all he sees. Be slow in chosin g a friend, slower in changing . Half-wit s talk much but say little. When the well's dry, we know the worth of water. Mary' s mout h costs her noth - ing, for she never open s it but at another' s expense. Tell me my faults, and men d your own. M.E.A .

When 1 step into this room , a feeling of peace come s over me. I stand still, and let the tranqui l atmos - pher e embrac e me. The sunbeams point out the light-brow n wood paneling , and danc e upon the clean blue and gray t i l e floor. The man y plants , both large and small, seem to welcome me to their abode . Breakin g the stillness is the sound of the small pum p piping clear, fresh air into the large, tropica l fish tank The only othe r sound is that of the wind, whisperin g throug h the forsythia bushes outside the south windows. I watch the man y brightly- colored , shimmerin g fish in the large tank . I walk aroun d the room and caress the man y small plant s with their beautiful flowers. Then ! fondly inspect the large, potte d plants-e n th e sturdy shelves. -CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME" By PAUL L. ADAMS, State Attorney General The open-hearte d and o p e n - hande d American people are being preyed upon by a few unscrupulou s solicitors. These racketeers not only relieve us of money , but they divert million s of dollars each year from going into legitimat e charit y sources. It is estimate d tha t American s give nearly $6 billion a year to charities . Most of it is well spent; some of it is mismanage d and wasted; and an estimate d $150,000,00 0 a year is siphone d off by the cheat s and frauds. AH of us are subject to charit y solicitation s — by 'phone , by mail, door-to-door , and by othe r persona l contacts . Should we be uncharitabl e to these charities ? Should we turn them all down? Of course not ! Most of these charitie s need our help, but we can help them and help ourselves at the same time if we are careful about our donations . This can be don e by following these simple rules: 1. Kno w your charity . If it is not a well-known organizatio n with which you are familiar, check its authenticity . Y ou might check with the chambe r of commerce , better business bureau , your local law enforce - ment agency, or if these groups can' t help you, you might want to check with the Consumer' s Protectio n Division of my office. 2. Kno w your solicitor. Request complet e identificatio n to be sure that the solicitor is a representativ e of the charit y organizatio n with which he or she claims to be working. If you suspect that the solicitor is an imposter , contac t one of the agencies listed above. Know your contribution . Obtain a signed receipt for y o u r contribution . This receipt should contai n the full nam e and address of the charit y and should be clearly signed by the solicitor. By following these rules you can protec t yourself and help the man y charitie s that are really in need of assistance.

FARMER'S WEEK TO HAVE TALKS ON LAND US E Communities that grow in a hit-and-miss pattern aren't easy to reorganize. That warning will be a main theme of the Friday afternoon Fanners' Week program, February 3, on the Michigan S t a t e University campus. Two panel discussions will deal with community planning procedures, progress and problems in nine counties. Professional planners and active local citizes will take part. MSU soil scientist Louis A. Wolfanger, program chairman, says interest in land use planning is growing. At least 350 of the state's 1,258 townships have zoning ordinances — many of them quite new. Several counties have become involved, too. Wolf ganger expects the Farm-! ers' Week program will highlight these points: Communities are. changing and spreading rapidly. Without planning, one can never be sure a noisy factory won't move in next door. Such shifts can take the iov out of life and out of land values. Hit-and-miss growth in a community isn't easy to reverse. Zoning applies only to new and future uses. The best blueprints and ordinances may gather dust without public support. Support requires understanding of the need for planning. Panelists will come from Hillsdale. Isabella, Macomb, Washtenaw, Livingston. Genesee, Eaton. Jackson and Shiawassee Counties. Visitors can pidrup the newly- revised MS U Extension Folder F-272, "Rural Zoning in a Nutshell/* The meeting will close the week-long event in East Lansing. WINKELHAUS GARAGE FLOWERS "Say H wHh Ftowtn " HOWRL, M»CH№ AN NEW LOCATION The Winklehaus garage at Hamburg has moved to a new location where it will occupy a new building at 11179 S. Hamburg road, just a fourth of a mile south of the former location. Standing vacant now, for the first time in 50 years, is the old building owned by the Winklehaus family since 1903. It was once the Hamburg Hotel complete with a bar room. Ted Winklehaus* father operated a garage there formerly and in the process of moving Ted found many Model T parts, as well as model A parts which will gladden the hearts of old car enthusiasts now seeking such items. One of the most unusual features of the old building, which will remain vacant for the time being, is the colorful ceramic tile floor. THE BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL CORNER Roger I.

And the state's fiscal picture ould be classed as a kingsized hangover from the year-long ash Crisis of 1959. E v e n with an estimated $120 million in additional revenue coming in from penny hikes in the sales and use taxes, income and expenditures are expected to be uncomfortably near the same size during the 1961-61 fiscal year which starts next July 1. Money problems for the State of Michigan are not unlike those faced by the average homeowner. Wage earners must divide their paychecks in such a way that they can meet current bills, pay off the mortgage or other outstanding debts and plan ahead for future expenses. So it is with Michigan, except that state officials m u s t deal wjih millions and billions of dorfars instead of hundreds or perhaps thousands. When anybody's budget gets out of whack, he has to t a k e steps to correct the situation. The legacy of 1959 was a $64 million deficit at the end of the 1959-60 fiscal year. Due to the increases in the sales and use taxes, Michigan is expected to have at least some money to apply on the deficit at the end of the 1960-61 fiscal year next June. Latest estimates, however, indicate there will still be some $60 million in outstanding bills. Besides, increasing expenditures for state services and hiking the pay of most state workers, Michigan is expected to try and start whittling away at the accumulated deficit. An unanticipated stumbling block could arise in the early months of 1961 to throw the whole revenue picture of out focus. Unemployment problems apparently are on us. Michigan's durable goods economy (automobiles and the like) is always especially hard hit by the phenomena labeled "recession" or "economic slowdown" or any of a dozen other names. People who don't work don't pay taxes. On top of that, thousands of them turn to the state for money to keep going through unemployment compensation programs. Local welfare agencies also depend on the state for part of their operating funds. Readers of Company publications want the economic facts of life. So says Harry R. Hall, executive vice president of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. Hall says baby pictures, stories about picnics or other office happenings and coffee-break gossip are all right in employee publications. But the "bread and butter" issues of wages, cost of living and so forth need not be ignored in a magazine or paper put out by a business concern. In fact, Hall told editors of such publications, entertainment is not necessarily the chief purpose for them. Too many workers, from the executive level on down, j u s t aren't aware of just how t h e wages or salaries paid them fit into the overall picture of t h e economy of the company, the city or other municipality where they are located, the state and the nation. There is. of course, a direct link between what each individual makes and the financial operations of the federal govern- NEIGHBORING NOTES A Fowlerviile couple, M r . and Mrs. Arwin Killinger, enroute to visit their son in Fort Dodge, Iowa, were aboard the Illinois Central train that was saved from possible derailment and a tradegy by a bakery driver who stopped the train at 2 a.m. last Friday near Dyersville in time to prevent the accident. The bakery truck driver saw a truck loaded with crane equipment strike and damage an underpass and remembering that a train would 'soon be due to pass over it, rushed to warn the engineer. He drove about a mile along the tracks to meet and stop the train. The Fowlerville chapter of Kings Daughters and S o n s , meeting at the home of M r s .

"Chinca" the name submitted by the Pinckney Community Library was a runner up. New books this week, for adults, include Peaceable Lane by Wheeler and Decision at Delphi by Maclnnes. ment. It's long and serpentine, but it's there. What Hall says is that Citizenship is more than just voting or reading the newspaper. And company publications ought to try and tell their readers just how they fit into the scheme of economic lift. Also, he says such things as company policy ought to be explored in detail. A Highway Fiscal study has been proposed by the Michigan Good Roads Federation. Idea of the fiscal study is to take a close look at the money spent on roads: Where it comes from and where and how it is paid out. The Federation said the study would be similar to. but in more detail than, the fiscal study cooducted in 1955 which concentrated chiefly on road revenues. When all the facts on financing are in, it will be easier to determine what the needs and deficiencies are, and how best to meet them, the Federation said. A study on the needs and deficiencies is underway, t h e group said, but the fiscal information would give a complete picture. One heartening note for the road builders: Secretary of State James M. Hare said sales of license tabs for 1961 are running jnore brisklev than ever in the early weeks of the year. | Homemaker of Tomorrow contest to be held in March.
