Forward Where do we go froin here? As I reviewed the Howell history book, on which the Bicentennial Committee has done such a beautiful job, I got a tremendous amount of enjoyment. A State Bicentennial official recently stated to me that this book was the finest book of its type he has seen printed by any community in the U.S.A. One conclusion that I drew while reading the book was the feeling that its people really cared about people. While you could read about one problem or disaster after another, you could also read about a person or group who would rise to the occasion and help solve the problem. Fun, friendship and pride seemed to be a real part of the people. The Bicentennial Committee, wanting to update the first edition and create a photo supplement, asked me to comment on the topic "Where do we go from here." In trying to answer this I asked several people the same question and have received about as many different answers as the number of people I asked. I find it hard to speculate on the future of a country, community or people. I do feel the many problems our country has faced the past few years and will face in the future will challenge us all. I have always believed in the freedom of people and that people in a free society produce better when they are challenged . My involvement with people everywhere but particularly in the Howell area has helped me discover how many community-minded people live here. The concern, interest and friendliness of our people seem to be the real strength of this community. I would love to start naming all the people who have made this community what it is both in the past and in the present, but the fear of missing many names prevent it. As long as people volunteer their time and talent to make living better for other people, our future has to be brig ht. This is the answer to "where do we go from here" in my opinion. With people like this living in our community, we will continue to be the friendly and beautiful community we have all come to know and love.

Senator Philip Hart As a member of the Michigan Bicentennial Commission I ex - tend my warmest wishes to Howell and Livingston County and that the spirit of '76 remain strong in this area and the coming years . Gilbert Bursley State Senator 18th District Introduction Welcome to the Photographic Supplement to the Howell Bicentennial History. This volume is intended as a completion of the original History, adding hundreds of historic pictures of the Howell area to the thousands of words appearing in the first work. The supplement is not intended to stand alone, although much of the material is interesting and significant in its own right. Instead, it is meant to add information on families, events and organizations to that already published. We urge readers of this supplement who have not examined the original history to obtain that work as wel I. Again, this is the work of hundreds of area residents . They have scoured their attics, scrapbooks and family archives for outstanding pictures and stories about the Howell area. Most importantly, they have deluged Photographic Archivist Duane Zemper with their finds, and the success of the book has rested extensively on Zemper's shoulders. As you all will be able to see, Zemper has done a remarkable job. Assisting him closely were the wonderful enthusiasts of the first book, including former mayor and local historian Cliff Heller, American Revolution and D.A.R. researcher and writer Mrs. Albert Rohrabacher, and the originator of the entire history book concept, Mrs. Richard Lamoreaux. The corrections and additions to the first book appear in this supplement, in so far as they were brought to our attention. Again, great credit must be given to the composition and photographic staff of the Livingston County Press. A list of their staff appears on the last page of this work. This supplement was a labor of love in a community of love and history . It would not have been possible without two behind -thescenes workers who did the dirty work . . . the bookkeeping and handling of the books, Bicentennial Vice Chairman Mike Hagman and Bicentennial Treasurer, Dennis Mowrey. For all of those who worked on the book, we wish the Howell community a Bicentennial year of history, tradition, and appreciation . Fashionable gals on a picnic and a big date . David L.

The E1nbers' Heritage FOREWORD This little monograph is dedicated to the scattered few who remember the once well-worn path to the swimming hole and the picture of an old orchard on the hillside, the enchantment of the lake's lily-filled coves and pebbled beaches, the allseasons ' lure of stumptown and the old-time winters' neverfailing gift of perfect ice along the cemetery shore. In particular, it is dedicated to my boyhood chum, Tar Barbour, whose muzzle-loading army musket was much longer than the one I shouldered but it couldn't kick so hard nor spread its load so wide. To him and to other old-timers, much of the lake's former glamour and appeal would be missing. The swimming hole hill, a rough but ready-made toboggan slide, has been cut into and its noble proportions thrown out of balance. The peninsula, the lake's distinguishing landmark, where yellow warblers and sandpipers once nested and where, in late summer, robins by the hundreds came at the day's ending, has been "improved" and taken over by summer cottages. The north cove, beloved of teal and mallard, knows them no more and Parker's woods, where we hunted squirrel, is now the habitat of the year-round registrants of the County Infirmary, known in Will Carleton's day as the Poor House. Well, if they get one-half of the enjoyment out of that ancient hunting ground that we did in a bygone day, they are far luckier than most of those who come, in time, to direct their faltering steps along the devious paths of adversity. Lately, I stood, again, where a certain old apple tree, prophetically , had so often scattered its leaves over the hillside, and thought upon the erstwhile, rare companionship of one who loved the woods and the hills and the gleaming waters between. He said little but smiled easily and often, and it was my happy privilege to teach him, as a young lad, how to swim and what I knew of hunting and fishing. But, with time's passing, tragic days overtook and overwhelmed him and never, by lake or river's margin nor among upland game coverts, will I meet his footsteps again . There is a hallowed spot on the bluff above the lake, whose waters, on carefree ventures, he and I had so often cruised together, and there he is sleeping away the years where the patient sod holds communion with the ageless stars that will look down upon his abiding place until the last day. For him, till then, a dreamless sleep. Peace to his ashes . Letzter Heller February, 1940. In the embers' "Gold of Ophir," Once, a sturdy, hillside tree, Appear familiar scenes and faces Through Mem'ry's magic alchemy . We fare, again, on youthful ventures , By trails we followed long ago, Across the lake to beckoning hilltop, To wintry woods and fields of snow. We live, once more, past , fleeting summers And hear, again, Springs' wakening call; The mellow, hunting days of autumn- Our fireside dreams review them all. THE OPEN FIRE By EMIL ERNST BODE At the last , it had been a broken and weatherbeaten old apple tree , a landmark known to four generations, that had been planted with its fellows by pioneer Moses Thompson in a time before the memory of living man. One of a scattered group of neglected and almost forgotten trees, bearing oldfashioned apples : Ben Davis and Winesap, Sheepsnose and Bellflower, Gravenstein and Winter Russet , this particular tree stood at a high point overlooking the lake, with a commanding view of the grove at the south, the peninsula and the woods beyond, the island floating in the middle distance , and, on the far horizon, the hills of Oceola. During the years of its long life, it had absorbed , along with its toll of the soil and its share of the sunshine, the dew and the ra in, some of the very life and spirit of the lake. It knew when the first hepatica were in bloom and where the pungent and tender young wintergreen leaflets could be found. From its high stand , it could see the blue patches of lupine over on the peninsula and sense where, in the quiet waters beyond, the great snakelike roots of the water lily, lying in the primal ooze at the bottom of the lake, sent up their immaculate , flawless blossoms to float upon its surface. In those far-away years of its early life, much of the surrounding country was still covered with timber, teeming with wild life. The howling of wolves was a not unfamiliar sound and not all the bears had retreated before the settler and his rifle, an occasional one coming down to seek the cooling waters of the lake and, in early summer , to scoop up hapless sunfish off their spawning beds in the shallows near shore. In still earlier times it had been a common runway and crossing for both elk and deer and not a few of the latter still came down out of the woods at the west, crossed the pioneer trail-road, sought temporary sanctuary in the dense stand of tamaracs in the swamp, to make their way, finally, through the heavy timber to the lake, once a favorite stand of the Indian, armed with bow and arrows, lying in wait for his quarr y coming down to drink. Even in that early day, before its shallow outlet had been dammed, the present north arm of the lake was a deep and sizable body of water, which deer , on the move, either swam or circled by way of the island, then but a projection of the mainland , swimming the narrow channel between there and the farther shore. In the fall, great flocks of that matchless game bird, the wild turkey , roamed the nearby woods for acorns and those farther to the west for beechnuts and, with every returning spring, flocks of passenger pigeons came , as late as the 70's, literally by the millions, to loiter for a day or two on their way to their nesting grounds in the great forests around Petoskey . Today, neither in Michigan nor anywhere on this earth is there a single living survivor of that host whose numbers once darkened the skies and the sound of whose flight was like the roar of a storm. Once, in the late summer, when the new orchard was but a year or two old, a file of Indians appeared coming out the woods, crossed the little clearing and came on up the hill. They were following a centuries old trail that had its beginnings far to the southwest, in Ohio, led up past the "old crooked tree ," one of many such trail markers found by pioneer woodsmen, crossed the shallows at the north end of the lake, turned and took its way over hill and dale to the Huron country , far to the northeast. They were a chosen band of Shawnees, from below the line, and were bound for the still virgin forest country a sun's travel beyond the little village of Pontiac , where they would join many of their blood relatives from among the Sacs, Hurons and Wyandots in a series of ceremonial dances lasting many days. Here with both wood 16 and water available were many inviting spots offering a camping place for the night but they tarried not for there was a well-founded Indian tradition that here , in the once thick cover at the end of the lake and on the higher ground to the east , a mighty battle had once been fought to a decisive ending. A great war party had come down out of the north, attacked the defenders of the Indian village located here and in the ensuing battle, many braves on both sides had fallen, their spirits still roaming this once happy hunting ground. The truth of this legend was attested by those, who, in later years tilled those sandy acres for a meagre reward but who never failed to garner a bountiful harvest of arrowheads , year after year , when plowing that historic ground. These flint and obsidian heads were of two types and among them was found a spearhead of copper, hardened by some process unknown today, proving beyond a doubt that the members of that ancient war party were Chippewas from the Straits country or from the far off shores of Superior. And so this band of Shawnees kept on in the gathering twilight until they came to the park-like glade, where that little stream , now called Dibble Creek, comes in from the east to join the larger one from the lake that flows northward to merge its waters with those of the Shiawassee. There , under the stately and venerable oaks, they made camp and ate sparingly , for they traveled light. Later , during the great ceremonials , there would be much feasting . Neither kin, nor any of those who had dispossessed them, came to light a pipe at that campfire but a great horned owl, cruising wide on questing wings, sent them greeting . At long ago first , the tree heard little but the sounds of nature, the songs of birds , the cry of the loon, the scream of the hawk, and, in the velvet hush of the night, a fox's bark or the far-echoing howl of wolves. It listened to the soft patter of rain on the lake's surface in summer and to the rumbling protest of its ice-burdened waters in winter ; but in good time , the lake 's never-failing drama was enacted within plain view of the fruit bearer on the hill. It became a silent witness of the carefree pastimes of old and young and of bitter and purposeless tragedy . Men rowed out on its placid waters to spend hours in pleasant idleness and, from early spring until late summer , an endless procession of boys with fishpoles on shoulders followed the winding path along the shore or hurried by on their way to the swimming hole, that mecca of enchantment where the town boys and the country lads, the well born and the poor, the daring and the cowardly, the white and the black and all others met on an equal footing to seek refreshing ablution or an hour's frolic. Incidentally , every true believer , before taking the initial plunge, performed a certain preliminary and time-honored ritual , the efficacy of which as a preventive of swimmer 's cramp was never questioned. One warm and still moonless night in spring , three young men came down to the lake by the path over the pinnacle , and unlocked a wide heavy boat chained to a leaning willow. They put out from shore and when the flaring light of a fishing jack lit up nearby waters and the trees along the peninsula , a black-haired , athletic fellow, armed with a many tined spear, took his place in the bow and they headed for Steel's Cove, considered the best spearing ground of the lake. That same night and on other such nights during the years to come, boats similarly accoutred and manned pulled away from shore, in pursuit of a sport that had a fascination of its own, hard to describe, and a lure hard to resist. During those irrecoverable years when Life still moved along to an unhurried tempo, the lake had become the recreational center of the community . Boats and, in time, canoes plied its waters from the time of spring's first greening until chill and somber November 's shortening days ; and in the long twilight hours of summer, they who were in love with life and they who were in love with each other, knew the magic of its moon-silvered waters , where Night spread her glittering mantle of glamorous pattern and gemmed with myriad stars . Then were heard again, Stars of the Summer Night, Moonlight On The Lake, Juanita , and snatches of old songs and ballads that the listening tree had heard on other moonlight nights, melodies sung by unknown and forgotten voices whose harmonies echoed back from the receding shores of Time. One summer afternoon , two boys came down to the lake, undressed in the deserted grove, rowed out and dove off the end of their boat-a favorite sport.Thereupon Fate , envious and unkind, took a hand. A treacherous puff of wind came across the waters and a freshening breeze hurried their boat toward the farther shore too fast to overtake . They turned back to the nearer shore where they had left their clothes and one of them reached that haven without mishap , but from its distant hillside an old apple tree saw the reach of a drowning hand and caught the questioning, disillusioned look of a face we once knew. On winter nights, the tree heard the ring of the skater's steel and saw the cheerful gleam of bonfires on the nearby shore or in distant windless cove. The tyro on skates, in hopeless admiration , watched some expert do the Figure Eight or the Dutch Roll; but the wizard, who, nonchalantly and with the greatest of ease , could describe the intricacies of the single and double Grapevine 's maze was the envy of all. In earlier years , pull-away was the standard ice game, hockey coming in later . Between games , they skated endless miles, down to the mill, down to stumptown, around to front lake, down to the mill again and so back to the bonfire on the shore by the grove. Skiing, a sport of Norway and Canada, had not yet come into its own here but every hill that ran down to the lake offered a suitable runway for coaster or toboggan and the swimming hole pinnacle was the king of them all. One always remembered winter 's night, the "old gang" of that period had made the usual circuit of the lake for a last time, to come back once more to gather round the nearly burned out bonfire built by that great rock, of gruesome history, resting there on the shore below the cemetery . The hour grew late and the town boys left for their homes but a lad who lived down by the mill, loath to quit the perfect ice, soon to be covered by the snow predicted by the weatherwise , accompanied them around to Front Lake, to return alone and sit for a spell beside the dying embers . High and aloof rode the gibbous moon, encircled by a huge, sinister appearing ring and darkened again and again by the uneasy clouds that hurried across its face. The echoing calls and shouts of the skaters and the tintinnabulation of their steel-shod feet had long since died away and, except for a vague and eerie whispering, sensed rather than heard, a vast and unreal silence had settled down over lake and field and wooded hill. Then, a chilling breath , unlike any ever felt before, bore in upon the watcher by the fire; a strange , prickling sensation coursed the length of his spine and each separate hair of his head, literally and truly , stood on end. Without a single backward glance, he pushed himself to his feet and with no conscious attempt to hurry , but hoping only to neither trip nor stumble , he casually but purposefully went away from there to head for the lower end of the lake and home. The old trees in the orchard witnessed the flight of the wraithlike form of a skater and of another that , like a shadow, fared silently ahead , both quickly lost in the swirl of flakes that ushered in the heaviest snowfall of the winter . And a certain lad surveyed the thick blanket of white that covered the countryside next morning, with a strange and deep content ; it promised , in that day, weeks of uninterrupted sleighing and coasting and the probable end of skating till another year. There came a New Year 's day, something more than fifty years ago, when the whole lake was one marvelous glare of solid ice and nearly everyone who skated or ever had skated , helped to swell the greatest crowd of pleasure-seekers that had ever come together on the lake. Old-timers, who hadn't been on the ice in years , except perhaps to fish, caught the spirit of that day and ventured forth to live, again , an hour or two of boyhood. Fred Preston and Will Pelton , flawless performers , remembered all the old fancy figures, and Sid and Frank Cooper, who had turned up and strapped on their old-style "wooden-bottoms," narrow-bladed skates of an even then obsolete pattern , did things on the ice that none of the younger generation could duplicate . A free-for-all, so-called hockey game was organized and everyone, with a love of adventure or with a drop of sporting blood coursing through his veins, entered the lists. The hockey stick of the period was usually of hickory, with somewhat trimmer lines than those of a baseball bat but with a formidable knob at the end that gave it the general air pearance and all-round efficiency of an oversize Indian war club. The puck in use, on this particular occasion, was a maple croquet ball and whether a knight enrolled under the suppositious Green Shamrock colors of husky, Irish Ed Shields or followed the imaginary Red Rose banner of rangy , English Fred Titus, he assumed all the hazards and every now and then he found his armour woefully inadequate . Incidentally , to be among the first ones chosen was a bit of preferment secretly coveted but nonchalantly accepted and was, in itself, considered no small honor. The game started off with nearly every player in motion and when hickory met maple, the ball not infrequently hurtled through the air like round shot from a cannon's mouth and it was then every man for himself. A superb shot by Butter Pate scalped the crown from the Sunday derby of some now-forgotten warrier , who passed a solicitous hand over his miraculously unblemished features and thereupon called it a day. Darby Arnold took a crisp half swing at the rolling pellet and connected neatly with Pompey Lewis, who had coasted swiftly within Darby 's orbit , unpredicted and unannounced. Jim Shields snared a short spinning poirup with one hand and crossed up the opposition with a purely inspirational heave, rolling the ball straight and true for one of the few goals of this hectic and historic game . In the vociferous debate that ensued, Jim , as usual, more than held his own, quoting freely from a rule book of which, it developed later , he possessed the only copy. Two forwards , making a simultaneous dash for the puck, collided midway like a pair of battering rams ; one to withdraw with a sprained ankle, the other to regain his normal , active senses hours later , to find himself with a badly swollen jaw and several loosened teeth , idly skating by himself on a seldom frequented part of the lake, with no recollection of the haphazard route by which he had arrived there and the major events of the afternoon a blank. There followed other incidents and lesser casualties which Time, relentless and uncaring , has erased from the pages of memory. Through all that memorable afternoon, the clash of club against club and the crash of body against body resounded from shore to shore. The sun lingered to view the strange pattern made by the whirling, darting forms of many skaters and reluctantly moved on to other scenes , leaving the old tree on the hill to watch over the field. One by one the wearied , surviving contestants left the ice, limping homeward to nurse bruised faces , skinned knuckles and battered shins, but to review, with deep satisfaction, some valiant save or brilliant assist on an occasion when the race was altogether to the swift and the battle entirely to the strong. 17 Happy days! Not all of them. One holiday morning, a boy appeared in the channel between the island the point, skating alone, and the old tree waved its branches in warning for it knew of the trap laying there in wait for the feet of the unwary. Perhaps it was but a passing breeze, but if so it was fanned by the wings of Death. Up there, where the shallows drop off into the depths, a patch of water, kept open by a perverse and vagrant wind, had frozen over only the night before and young and friendly Charley Tunnard coasted out on its inviting glare. Nobody knows how long he fought off the numbing chill of the water and we can only guess at the desperate hopelessness of his efforts, but a certain voiceless witness far down the lake heard his last despairing call for help and saw his last futile clutch slip off the ice's mocking edge. The years passed by and while the panorama of life on the lake and around its shores was unrolled before it, the tree lived its own life. It withstood the heat and the storms of summer, the snow and the icy blasts of winter. The sun of seed-time and harvest, the moon that came up from behind the distant woods, and the shifting constellations of the seasons found it anchored to its accustomed place, leaning over the old rail fence that staggered up the hill from the lake. But like men and the flowers of the field, the trees of woodland and of orchard, sooner or later, wither and decay. One spring the old tree put forth a valiant display of blossoms and nurtured a last single branch full of apples, but when verdant May came again, the robins, bluebirds and orioles that in years past had sought food, a home or sanctuary among its branches, found it gone and soon to become, like him who planted it and like them who followed after to gather its fruit, only a fleeting memory. And so, in time, a portion of the old tree found its way to my fireplace and these and other scenes and incidents appeared in the open fire before me. In that most companionable book Emil Ernst Bode 18 CAMP-FIRES AND GUIDE-POSTS, Henry Van Dyke devoted a chapter to Fireside Views and wrote knowingly of fires for various purposes, how to build them, and which kinds of wood to use. "Old apple-wood burns cleanly, brightly, serenely, with a delicate and spicy fragrance. The flames bloom softly over logs; they play around them and dance above them with shifting colors of canary yellow, and pale blue, and saffron; they send unwavering pennons of pure golden light, which sink down again into fringes of mellow radiance. Deeper and deeper the transforming element sinks into the heart of the log, which still keeps its shape, an incandescent round, silvered with a fine white ash ; until at last the stick breaks and crumbles into glowing coals, of a color which no words can describe. It is like the petals of a certain rose, whose tint I remember and which, I have been told, bears that perfect name, Gold of Ophir. So the lovely ruins of the old apple tree lie heaped upon the hearth, and over them flow tiny ripples of azure and mauve and violet flame, lower and lower, fainter and fainter, till all does down into gray, and the tree has rendered its last offering of beauty and service to man ." Thus wrote the Doctor, a wise as well as a learned man. He knew the ways of men and of nature and, among many other things that which gave him the most satisfaction, how to build a fire. And, in the heart of that old pioneer apple tree, I too saw the glow of that matchless rose he knew and I saw, also, the gold and scarlet of hickory, sumac and maple in October's mellow sunlight, the golden haze of Indian Summer, and lived, again, the golden years of youth that had slipped away and retreated through the woods across the lake and behind the once beckoning hills of Oceola. "Wahrlich, hinter jedem Berg leigt unsere Jugend." The wood of the old tree blazed and glowed in cheerful, final usefulness. I watched the last blazing ember burn to ashes and the deepened shadows of the room became peopled with the ghosts of yesterday. Jerome W. Hand born April 30, 1836 in Livingston County, New York. Elma Coonradt born July 13, 1835 in New Brunswick, New York. They were married October 14, 1857 at Farmington, Mich. They were early Howell settlers . 1865 Jerome enlisted in Co. 2, 22nd. Michigan Infantry. Fought in battles of Mission Ridge, Lookout Mountain and Chickamaugua. They built a home at 421 S. Walnut Street, Howell where they lived until death . The Pless Family and Their Pioneer Neighbors In 1834T homas Pinckney, and his wife Abigail, came from Dutchess County, New York to the area that was to become known as Genoa Township. They were the fifth in locating land, and first to settle , and to build a log house, and among the first to build a frame barn. The first white child to be born in Genoa was born in that log house. The Grand River Indian Trail ran through their farm , but it had not been cleared for wagon travel , and travelers used blaze marks on trees to guide them . The Pinckneys stayed there until 1838. They had sold an acre to Lawrence Euler , and he built a log store , the first business venture in the area, and called it the Dutch Grocery. Pinckneys had also sold two acres to Lewis Dorr , who built a frame house, barn and blacksmith shop there in 1838. In the next three years the farm was sold to Ellis Luther , then to Sarah Hunt, who married Nathan Cook, and they sold it back to Ellis Luther, and he bought out Lewis Dorr. In 1841, Ellis Luther sold the 159 acres to Henry Andrew Pless , and his wife, Maria . They had been living in Detroit for two years. They and their ten children, all under 15 years old moved into the house Lewis Dorr built, and that house sheltered five generations of the Pless family for the next thirteen decades. At that time in the wilderness this location was considered better than most . The Dutch Grocery , and the first log school house were nearby , and Lucius Peet had built a log tavern across from the school. The St. George Lutheran Society was organized and the first church was built a half mile south of the trail in 1845.

They were led by Fredrick Schmid, a pioneer churchman from Ann Arbor, Rev . E. A. Buek, and Pastor Meyer , the last two were retired Lutheran ministers , who settled in Genoa. In addition , a host of other pioneer families soon became members, or attended church there , including : Becker , Bremer , Birkenstock , Damman , Dankers , Dingler , Funch , Faulk , Fick , Fischer , Fink , Foland , George, Gerkin , Grostick , Hunter , Hazard , Herbst , Krebs , Larson , Martin , Marschner , Musch, Mackenroth , Neverth , Neuendorf , Pfau , Pipp , Ratz , Rancher , Riedel , Risch , Romer , Scheonhals , Schmidt , Seim, Scholdt, Stricker , Schwienberg , Stuible, Steinmetz , Steinacker , Truhn , Vogelsberg, Struhrberg , Wagonknecht, Webber, Waltz, Weimeister , Winklehouss, Whenes and some probabl y have been overlooked.

Grostic, married December 10, 1890. This picture possibly taken about five years later . They were parents of Louis, Harlow, Harriett and Frederick . Their home was midway between Howell and Brighton in the original Henry Andrew Pless homestead. Pless was a member of the Holstein Fresian Association and his large herd was registered under the name of Plessland. tation of a Golden Eagle in front of his house of business , a significant mark of honor. Due to political pressure and high taxes put on foreigners in Russia , he returned to Germany , soon after removed to Detroit, and then to Genoa, where he spent his last 35 years , and his wife Maria , lived there for 44 years. They had had no experience in farming , and their survival had to depend on using funds they had intended to put into a business, and on the energy and determination of the children , especially the two oldest boys Lewis and Andrew, aged 12 and 11 respectively . Those two boys put off marriage until the other children were quite grown up. However, they were away from the farm when Lewis went to California to prospect for gold, and when Andrew returned to Germany to attend school there . Both were glad to get back home. The girls married , and all but one left the area , three spent the remainder of their lives in Lansing, one sister and brother went first to Jackson and then on to California, the other brother died at home at the age of twenty-six. Lewis married Julia George, and Andrew married Margaret Euler , both were the daughters of nearby pioneers . In 1861, Lewis and Andrew bought the farm from their parents , and divided it. In the following years they each 20 Henry Andrew Pless, 1788-1876. Maria Louise ( Klessonl Pless, 1801-1885. added acres and buildings. By 1890, Lewis and Andrew had accumulated about 560 acres, and Andrew had two sets of farm buildings. Lewis turned his acres over to his son, Frederick E. Pless and Andrew divided his farm between his sons, George E. and Charles H. Pless . Then each of these third generation Pless men had a farm, complete with buildings, livestock and tools. Next the ownership passed to the fourth generation, and the parcel where the old home stood is still owned by some of that generation , making it 135 years in the Pless name . The remainder is occupied by a few small business places, and factories, and there are houses scattered on small acreages through the fields. The farms could not provide for the lifetime of all the descendants of Henry and Maria Pless, but the generations who spent a happy and secure childhood on those acres have forever after remembered the place as home. The fourth generation living here were Louis, Harlow, Harriett and Frederick , children of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Pless. The last and fifth generation having lived in this house were Frederick Robert, Edward James and Richard Lee Pless, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Harlow Pless . Acreage of this original farm is still held by Maybelle Pless, widow of Harlow Pless and by Frederick Pless and wife, Luella . Plessland Dairy The Plessland Dairy was owned and operated by Harlow and Frederick Pless. In the 1930's they built a tile creamery building on the Pless farm on Grand River. One room was equipped for an ice cream parlor and dairy bar . This was operated for three years by Maybelle Pless and one year by Harriett ( Pless) Baker . Modern War Hero Marine Pvt. Frederick Robert Pless, son of Mr . and Mrs . Harlow Pless graduated at the age of 16 from the Howell High School with the class of 1941. The following January he enrolled at Michigan State University, East Lansing. On August 24, 1943 he enlisted in the Marine corp. June 8, 194S, he volunteered to secure communication wire from the field of action, and was shot by a Jap sniper at Okinawa which left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was brought to the United States and spent some time in several California hospitals . He was brought home from Great Lakes Naval hospital and was guest of honor for V.J. day in 1946. In October he was transferred to veteran's hospital at Dearborn so he could be near to his family. Death occurred April 30, 1947. In the picture Robert is seated next to driver .

The milk was then distributed to stores and homes, Harlow operating the Howell area with the help of his sons Robert, Edward and Richard. Frederick operated the Brighton business . After several years Harlow bought the Martha Farms Jersey milk route from Mrs . Wherry. The business in the two towns increases to such an extent that bottled milk had to be secured from the Ira Wilson & Sons Dairy. After a number of years Harlow discontinued the Howell route and devoted his time to farming and helping in the Brighton delivery until his death in 1970. Frederick retired the following year.

They first settled in Hamburg township where they were farmers. In 1853 they bought farms in Section 30 of Oceola Township, on what is now M-59 . Jane ( 1820-1903) James ( 1832-1906)-Great grandfather of Clayton Musson Edward ( 1826-1898)-Great .grandfather of Martha Musson Jane's Husband Jane married Wm. c. Shaft . They were proprietors of the Shaft Hotel which was built in 1847 on the southeast corner of Court and Grand River Streets, where Kontz Motor Sales, Inc . is located today . Wm. Shaft and his son, Wm. Henry, also ran a line of stages between Howell and Detroit until 1857 when the Shaft family left Howell to take up a Homestead in Kansas . James Lawther and his wife, Amarilla A . Harmon Lawther were the fourth proprietors of the Union Hall hotel beginning in 1850. The hotel was built in the spring of 1845 by Hezekiah Gates upon the southeast corner of East Street (now South Michigan Avenue) and Grand River Ave. Amarilla rented rooms and prepared meals for the townspeople and for those traveling through Howell. The hotel was burned in 1871 when owned by a Mr . Beach. James Lawther and W.P . Melvin opened the second wagon shop in Howell . This place of business was also on East Street, on the nor - thwest corner of East and Sibley Streets . They started their blacksmith business in 1846. In 1861 Wm . Melvin built the Melvin House at this location. It continued to be called the Melvin House for many years, then the John - ston House and in 1880 it became known as the Commercial Hotel and owned by John M . White. James Lawther was one of the members of the first Board of Trustees of the Howell School District in 1849 with George Jewett, R.P. Bush and Wm. McPherson . Jennie Parker (1883-1972). This picture was taken about 1899 in Boulder, Colorado, when she was 16 years of age. 23 Civil War Veteran Danford Parker in Civil War Uniform. Born May 30, 1825 in Gennessee County, N .Y.

A picture of Minnie Wing on lower shelf of little table, who became a dentist about 1895 or 1896 and practiced dentistry in Saginaw many years. Lois Parker Hicks Dr. Louis Watkins- Former Howell Dentist This picture of Dr. Watkins and his dog, Bob, was taken at the Harry Maycock home. The Dr. boarded his dog at the Maycock's and came every fall for pheasant season. He was a Howell dentist for many years, before going to Detroit to practice, but never missed coming to stay a few days with his friend, Harry Maycock and family during hunting season, and enjoying hunting with his faithful dog. Harold J . Maycock Almon Whipple Almon Whipple-afterwards, for nearly forty years, a well-known and highly-respected citizen of Howell-removed to this village from the township of Handy in 1839, he having been elected in the preceding autumn to the office of county clerk. He was born in Hardwick, Mass ., in the year 1800, and remained in that State until the year 1825, when he removed to Otsego Co., N.Y . There he carried on a mercantile business from 1828 till 1835, when his health became poor, and he emigrated to Handy, in this county, in 1837. In 1838 he opened a store in that town, and in the following year removed to Howell, as mentioned above. On the 14th of January, 1840, he married Mary Curtis (daughter of Victory Curtis), with whom he lived for nearly thirty-seven years . Upon his settlement in Howell, he engaged a mercantile business in partnership with John Curtis, under the firm-name of Curtis & Whipple . They purchased the business of Edward F. Gay, and became his successors in the store built by the latter, near the southwest corner of the old public square. His partner died in 1841, and Mr . Whipple afterwards removed to the main street of the village, and remained in the business of merchandising until 1860, when he retired from it , but continued to engage in real estate and other operations during the remainder of his life, and was successful in amassing a comfortable fortune. Besides the office of county clerk he also held that of county treasurer, and was for some years, the•first postmaster of Howell. He died Feb. 14, 1878 "He was one of the early settlers of Livingston County, and ever manifested an · active interest in the welfare of his adopted State . His record was honorable, and he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who associated with him . He was ever the poor man's friend . Honesty, generosity, and charity were his marked characteristics." Two additions have been laid out on the east side of the village, on lands of Almon Whipple, in the west half of the southeast quarter of section 36. The first of these, lying on the north side of Grand River Street, and bounded by Cowdrey's first addition on the west, and by the Livingston County Agricultural Fairgrounds on the east. This addition is dated Jan . 27, 1868. The second Whipple Addition, dated Sept . 4, 1871, lies opposite the first, on the south side of Grand River Street, and alsa has its west boundary on Cowdrey's first addition. 25 The Wright Families of George Washington and Hester Belfry Wright .

The Stapleton-Euler Family By Doris Frykman Since the first edition of the Howell Bicentennial History was published, I have come into a great deal of additional information on the early Eulers in Genoa Township. The original John Euler, Sr. (1775-1848c) ame from Germany in 1828 and lived for a time in Detroit. He came on to Genoa (along Euler Road) about 1835 with his wife Elizabeth, a sister, Susan and four sons. He stayed briefly in Genoa and then went on to Shiawassee County accompanied by his wife, sister and one son, Peter . His other three sons, John Jr. (my ancestor), Henry and Lawrence remained in Genoa, married and raised their families here. I have no intention of making a genealogy of this article but did want to bring out the above information and correction. I \ John Euler, Sr. 1775-1848 This is a reproduction of a pencil drawing made in Germany prior to coming to America in 1828. He came to the Euler Road area of Genoa Township in 1835 where he lived for a time before moving on to Shiawassee County . However, three of his four sons, John Jr., Henry and Lawrence remained in Genoa and raised their families there. There are many descendants in and around this area. John Euler, Sr. was my great, great, great-grandfather. Doris Frykman am grateful to cousins Lloyd Euler of Howell and Bill Pless of Brighton for their assistance . Under separate cover I am submitting a picture of John Euler, Sr. which I hope will be included in the pictorial section of the new book. In answer to queries about there being no Stapletons in Howell at present, I wish to say that although my grandmother, Ella Stapleton Euler had four brothers, Charles, George, Fred and Frank, none of them had any sons to carry on the name. When Frank died in 1961 at the age of 96, the name disappeared from our branch of the family. I would also like to mention the other four children born to Fred and Ella Euler in addition to my mother, Mary Isabelle Frykman . There were Ralph, Kenneth, Doris and Phyllis. Ralph married Bertha Gray and they lived most of their married life in Sewickley, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . They had no children, and Ralph died in 1972. Kenneth is married to the former Genevieve Ubsdell and they live near Fowlerville. Their only daughter, Carolyn died in infancy. Doris is married to Harold Hatcher of Dearborn and is the mother of four daughters-Barbara Mardigian, Peggy Grover, Mary Jo Terry and Nancy Barrett . The Hatchers also have one son, Fred. There are also several grandchildren and a few great-grandchildren . Phyllis married Leo Rancour and they recently returned to live in Howell after spending twenty years in Ann Arbor. They are the parents of twin sons, Bob and Dick, and a daughter, Ruth Anne Rieckhoff. Concerning my parents, Isabelle and Otto Frykman (both now deceased), I stated in the first book that there were two daughters, Betty and I. Betty married Ralph Noll anc! they live in Ann Arbor. They have two daughters, Mrs. Donald (Patricia) Case of Milford, and Barbara of Ann Arbor. The Cases have two little daughters, Susan and Barbara, so we are now in the eighth generation of the Euler family in this area. Azel Carpenter Azel Carpenter was born approximately in 1828 or 29. About 1848o r 49, he was married to Miss Maryetta Stedman, daughter of Daniel Stedman . To this union was born one son, whose name was Edgar. Edgar was born June 13, 1849. Maryette Stedman Carpenter died when her son was about twelve years of age. She is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Howell, Michigan. Edgar lived with the Latson family on Beck Road for a short time and went to school. From then on I do not know anything about him or his father till 1878 when Edgar Carpenter was married to ldd C. Austin, daughter of George Austin and Lydia Smock Austin. At this time Azel Carpenter was living in a small house on East Grand River in Howell. He was married twice since the death of his first wife and had at least one son by the second wife. After her death he married a third time. No children. Edgar Carpenter was born June 13, 1849. Ida C. Austin wasborn May 9, 1857. They were married in May of 1879. To this union were born seven children. Maryette born March 5 1880,d ied June 16, 1927;H attie May born March 2, 1882,d ied March 11, 1969; Perry, born Oct. 22, died not known; Roy, born May 23, 1887, died July 7, 1888; Azel George born May 29, 1890, diea in Jan. 1949; Wallace born November 30 1892 died Dec. 1, 1892; Frances A. born July 2, 1894. Edga~ Car: penter died April 15, 1896.I da Austin Carpenter died June 15, 1947. 27 This picture was taken in 1912 at the Fred Euler home when their good friends , "Scotch Hugh" and Georgia McPherson came to call. McPherson is the shorter of the two men, Mr . Euler the taller one . The white haired lady at the upper left is Mrs . Euler's mother, Mrs . John Stapleton . Next to her is Mrs . McPherson, then John Kennety Euler and his mother Ella Euler holding her baby daughter , Phyllis Euler Rancour . The others on the lower steps are Doris Euler Hatcher and Isabelle Euler Frykman. Shortly after this was taken Mr . Euler put a large stone porch on the house which stands at 316 West Washington and is now the home of Rodney Street . Doris Frykman A BirthdayP arty The "birthday girl" in this picture is Elizabeth Spencer (Mrs . Wendell Page). As you will note, hair ribbons were the "in" thing back in the early 1920's when this was taken . At that time the Spencers lived in the large home located at 814 West Grand River .

Doris Frykman Horse Power on the Latson Centennial Farm One hot summer day in 1907 when Albert Latson and men came up for their noon meal they found a photographer waiting to take farm pictures . Quickly they lined up their teams with the windmill and barns for background and the result was this picture of these beautiful animals. These horses and men were the work force on the 500 acre farm . The women cooked 3 meals a day for all. Never again will such a scene be possible for 35 years later not a horse was left on the farm as tractors and other newly invented machines had taken over much of the work . Fewer men were needed also . For most of his working years Albert farmed 500 acres. He built two large basement barns , the larger being for his dairy herd when the Borden's milk factory came to Howell. He also had a large grainery built and chicken houses and tool sheds as needed . The farm home was built in pioneer days by the brother of Edward Latson. John was a master carpenter and built originally a large 8 room 2 story frame house to which was later added a large kitchen, pantry and open sided wood shed with storage attic above where we, the grandchildren, were introduced to spinning wheels, candle molds, candle lanterns and rope spring hand made beds . Hazen & Nellie Latson The Dolph Family Jonathan Dolph, wife Maranda, and five children moved from New York state via of Canada to Livingston County in the early 1840's. They settled north of the village of Howell on what was later called the Staley farm. The children married, Mary Ann to Elias Mann , Catherine to Wm . Carpenter of New Hudson, Simon to Catherine Andrews, and after her death married Axa Cordelia Howe, Margaret married Wm. Earl and Sylvanus married Catherine Canfield . They were simple farm people and probably their greatest mark in history was the loss of their two, union soldier, sons in the Civil War . Simon (pictured) enlisted in the 8th. Mich . Vol . Inf. Co. Bat Pontiac , Mich ., Feb . 29, 1864, was taken prisoner at the Battle of Spottsylvania, Va ., May 12, 1864. Imprisoned at Andersonville Prison in Georgia, he died Aug. 14, 1864.

Harold Dolph The old Bickhart Flour Mill on the site of the present Coop Mill, North Walnut . 30 Fisher-MorganF arm A parcel of Section 34 of Cohoctah Township was purchased from Mary Sanford by Edward Fisher on June 9, 1854. Edward Fisher was the son of Adam Fisher who was one of the first settlers of Chemungville, or what is now called Oak Grove. Edward married Cornelia Vandercook, and had two daughters, Florence and Myra . When Edward died on April 21, 1893, he left his estate to his wife and two daughters . Florence married Albert Staley and Myra married Jerry W. Roberts. Jerry and Myra bought the property, April 22, 1893. They had one child, Laura Roberts.

Howell Residents by 1840 The Livingston County Historical Society has sponsored a project of the collection of picture of Howell's earliest settlers, particularly those who were in Howell before 1840. It is hoped that in time pictures of settlers before 1850 may also be collected. MRS. JAMES SAGE Mrs . Mary G. Sage, wife of James Sage, Sr. was one of the first three women to settle in Howell. She was born 1786 and came to Howell May 14, 1834 with her husband, James Sage, Sr. The other two women were her daughter-in-law, Louisa Austin, the wife of her son, George T.

GAY Edward Fairbanks Gay was born August 30, 1800i n Sharon Conn., the son of Edward Gay and Mary White. His parents , Edward Gay and Mary White moved in 1806 to Franklin, Delaware County, New York. Edward F. Gay first moved to the Mohawk River region of New York and then to Ann Arbor, Mich. where he resided six years before he moved to Howell in 1837. He bought some merchandise of Mr. Flavius J.B. Crane which Mr. Crane had stored in the attic of Amos Adams' Eagle Tavern. Mr. Crane had sold merchandise from the Tavern for a few months before abandoning this project. With these goods Edward F . Gay opened a store in the second frame dwelling in Howell, and was the pioneer storekeeper . Part of this store was wrecked, and the remaining part was moved to the south side of West Sibley Street, west of Center Street. Mr. Gay was the first native-born New Englander to reside in Howell.

ELIZABETH RIDDLE McPHERSON WILLIAM McPHERSON When Elizabeth Riddle McPherson and William McPherson arrived Sept. 17, 1836 from Invernesshire, Scotland, they had been more than two months traveling . Their voyage aboard a sailing vessel had taken six weeks . Then they came by Erie Canal, Lake Erie, and Stage Coach to the area now known as Howell. The children who came with them were Isabella, who was four, William Jr. the second child, and Alexander , age three months . Born in the new country later were Elizabeth, Martin, John, Edward Gregory, Mary Lenore, and Ella. Elizabeth and William came to join Elizabeth's father, Andrew Riddle, in blacksmithing, and her two brothers who had bought farms in Oceola. Elizabeth Browning wrote later of her grandmother (Elizabeth Riddle McPherson) "falling in love with some property that reminded her a bit of Scotland-hills and a pretty lake, which was very picturesque, but poor farm land. Being very poor, and with four children to support, it became necessary for grandfather to do something about it. As a boy in Inverness, Scotland he used to spend time watching men at a forge in a blacksmith's shop. So that was something he could turn his hand to. It kept his family for a few years, and then he opened a general store with his brother-in-law William Riddle (1842). Later this became Wm. McPherson and Sons and was run under that name until 1925." Elizabeth (Bess) Browning, who was a daughter of Mary Lenore McPherson and her husband Dr. Thomas Browning, also told that her grandparents, Elizabeth and William McPherson were Scotch Presbyterians and the church was their main interest. They gave generously and also entertained ministers from all over the country at their home. The ministers were well educated and took wit and wisdom into their home. At one time while the parsonage was being remodeled, the minister, Mr. Foster, and his family of eight, lived at the McPhersons . Elizabeth Riddle and William McPherson were remembered for their kindliness . Their family and descendants have been influential in the development of Howell. DR. GARDNER WHEELER Dr . Gardner Wheeler was born 1794 in Massachusetts . He moved early to Norwich, Chenango County, New York when it was the "Far West". He studied in Chenango County under Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Wilcox and there married his wife, Fanny . He settled first in Washtenaw County at Scio, a year before he came to Howell in 1838. When Dr . Wheeler came to Michigan he left a brother, Joel Wheeler and a sister, Mrs. Mary Ambler in New York state. He also had three half-sisters in Chenango County; Abigail and Calpurnia Smith and Mrs. Calista Scott. But most important to Howell's settlement were his three half-brothers ; Villeroy E ., John W., and Elisha H. Smith. Elisha H. Smith wrote the first history of Howell in 1868.T he Smiths left West Bloomfield or Honeyoe, N.Y. and settled west of Howell in 1835. Dr. Wheeler practised twenty years in Howell and was a respected physician. He was active in all kinds of civic enterprises . He was also Worshipful Master of Lodge No. 38 A & FM of Howell, 1850-53a nd his daughter , Miss Emily Wheeler belonged to the Eastern Star . His son Henry Wheeler died 1841a nd was the first burial in the Barnard Street cemetery . Dr. Wheeler died January 11, 1859a nd his wife, Fanny died October 28, 1868. His children were ; Henry M.

Harold Crandall , a son, relates that a horse barn which housed 4 or 5 horses and that many rigs stood out back . Esbon Swann took possession in 1926. It was around that time that part of Grand River was being bricked and it is rumored that Jackson prisoners doing the labor on it were housed here. Esbon Swann tore part of it down and moved the remainder to 115 Swann Ct . and is now occupied by Ed & Betty McKeon who purchased it in 1943. Shields' Home It is not known when the house at 1325 West Grand River was built but probably in the late 1850s. The Freeman Fishbecks moved into the house in 1864 purchased from Mrs . Blackmun. Later the Frank Hubbells lived there who sold to Mr . and Mrs . John Haas . Mr . and Mrs . Frank Shields bought it from Henry Haas in 1923. They completely renovated the interior of the house but the exterior was left in its original style of architecture except for the sun porch built at the back of the house to replace the lean-to porch . They also built the barn and garage. Mr . Shields died in 1960 and in 1965 Mrs . Shields sold the house and forty acres to the Sieben Corporation . Mr . and Mrs. Leigh Thomas lived in the house until the death of Mrs . Thomas . Then it was sold to Mr . and Mrs . Maynard King in July of 73. Mary Shields 34 Swann built 3 small brick houses, one on the court and two on Grand River and a cottage on Earl Lake, from the remainder .

Van Keuren Reprinted from the University of Michigan Quarterly Review The Van Keuren Centennial Farm , situated five miles northeast of Howell in Oceola Township, Livingston County, Michigan, was homesteaded by my grandfather, Charles Van Keuren, in 1836. At that time, just prior to Michigan's being admitted to statehood in 1837, the land was in the Northwest Territory . The original land patent bears the signature of Martin Van Buren , then President of the United States, by his son A. Van Buren, his personal secretary , and Joshua S. Wilson, acting recorder of the General Land Office of the United States Government. Charles Van Keuren, before migrating to the west, had been a member of the New York City Police Force . In order to supplement his income, he had also engaged in fine cabinet making. As one of his police duties, he belonged to a troop of cavalry which served as an honor guard on special occasions. Real estate promoters, in those days, evidently served as colonizers and prospectors for land at a price per acre. When they came back from their trips to the Far West with maps and other information regarding the lands they had surveyed, it was their custom to assemble groups of prospective pioneers. My grandfather joined one such group in the year 1834, and came west from New York State to prospect. He brought with him a nephew, Tjerick Van Keuren. Finding conditions as they had been reported, he selected an acreage near where Howell is now located. It was in a hilly section with a little stream running through it, and a large spring conveniently near the spot where he decided to build his house. This stream is still known as Van Keuren's Creek. For temporary shelter , they set up poles, which they covered with marsh hay. This crude shelter, somewhat like an Indian wigwam, served them until, with the help of neighboring settlers , they were able to build a log cabin. They then began the galling task of cutting out the timber, burning the trees and underbrush, in order to clear the land on which to plant their crops. In about a year, they were able to comply with the requirements for a land patent, and returned to New York City to bring their families out to their new home in the West. The trip West was long and tedious. Their furniture , bedding, and cooking utensils were loaded on a barge drawn by mules driven along a towpath on the banks of the Hudson to Albany ; thence, by way of the Erie Canal to Buffalo; there they embarked on a Lake Erie steamer for the port of Detroit. Thus far, the trip had been by water and had not been too difficult or unpleasant; but from Detroit to their destination it was, indeed, tough going. It was along rough, narrow trails, through dense woods and across vast marshes by ox team and wagon. The main trail west from Detroit passed through Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor to Dexter . From there, it branched off to my grandfather's log cabin, which was twenty-five or thirty miles to the north. The abstract of title covering the land which my grandfather received from the Government in the year 1836s hows no record of any mortgage ever having been filed. Evidently no money had been borrowed for the erection of buildings or for making improvements on the farm . With the frugal habits of the pioneer, my grandfather must have accumulated funds for the development of his holdings, for in the 1850's he was able to build a large house near the site of the log cabin. This house, after a hundred years, still stands. It has experienced many vicissitudes , but it has finally been restored as far as possible to its original state . In 1951 it was honored by the Detroit Edison Company, which presented a centennial plaque in a ceremony witnessed by neighbors and friends, marking it as one of the "State Centennial Farms." After proof of ownership the Michigan Historical Commission issued a certificate, signed by the Governor and other state officers, along with members of the Commission, that the farm had been in the family for over a hundred years. The house was a replica of houses common in New York State in the 1850's. Since my grandfather was a Hollander, it was also reminiscent of the Dutch houses along the Hudson River . It was built almost entirely of timber cut on the land. The frame was of hewn logs, pegged together with dowel pins. The doors, window frames , stair treads, and banisters were of solid black walnut, fashioned and molded with hand tools. My grandfather had been a skilled cabinet-maker in Holland, as is evidenced by the beautiful , heavy walnut cornices over the windows and doors. As the house was built on the side of a hill, the entrance to the kitchen was made conveniently from ground level through a typical Dutch door. The cooking had originally all been done in the huge fireplace with its Dutch oven. Adjoining the kitchen, excavated from the side of the hill, there was a large cellar, in which the pans of milk were set on shelves hung from the ceiling for the milk to cool and for the cream to rise. In this cellar there were also huge bins for storing potatoes and other vegetables for winter use. There was a pantry convenient at hand, and a comfortable nook with a couch on which Grandmother Van Keuren could rest and smoke her pipe-a habit not unusual for elderly women of her generation . Meals were served in this comfortable kitchen-huge platters of salt pork, or, occasionally, of chicken, with heaps of potatoes and vegetables , all placed on the table so that everybody, even the hired man , with his sleeves rolled up and his hair slicked down, could help himseH. The coffee was kept hot in the fireplace, and was poured as required. As all the men had beards in those days, they used "mustache cups." It was customary to pour the coffee into their saucers, balancing them on the tip of the thumb and their fingers. It was also quite proper to cool the coffee by blowing across it somewhat noisily and sipping it with a loud inhaled breath. From the basement kitchen , stairs led to the first floor, where one entered a large room, which is now used as a dining room. An upper kitchen , adjoining it, is now fully equipped with electric refrigerator , stove, and other modern conveniences. Opposite the dining room, across the hall, there was a large parlor and a parlor bedroom in which we four boys were born. The long center hall, with stairs leading to the upper rooms, ran straight through from the front door to the rear door. There were altogether fourteen rooms, including a large attic. The house was thus a four-story house on the south side but a three-story house on the north side. Not far from the house were a large horse barn with stalls and partitions of solid black walnut, a large hay-and-straw barn , a granary , a tool shed, and a large sheep barn with a hay-and-grain loft. In addition to these buildings, there was a large, separate washhouse and laundry , in which a barrel of soft soap was always ready for use. This was connected with the woodshed. There were also a smokehouse for curing hams, a henhouse, hog pens, and of course , the regulation "Chic Sales." These buildings had all been built by whatever 35 skilled carpenters could be obtained in those pioneer days, with the help of friendly neighbors, who volunteered their services in old-fashioned "raising bees." Clearing the land, cutting down and burning the trees , pulling stumps, breaking ground with the heavy breaker plow drawn by oxen to prepare the fields for planting-it takes little imagination to appreciate the back-breaking work required for all those operations . The pioneer women, too, had their full share of work-cooking the meals , washing, spinning, weaving, making clothes, caring for their children, and, in general , keeping their families going. Threshing time was a gala time. The neighbors all turned out to help-the men in the fields, in the mow, pitching bundles to the thresher table, stacking the straw; the women helping in the kitchen preparing the hearty midday meal and helping serve it to the hungry workers. We older boys do not forget the mammoth slices of bread spread heavily with butter and brown sugar which we got when we came home from school on those happy occasions. No banquet ever tasted as good. The Van Keuren family was typical of hundreds of pioneer families that settled in the Michigan wilderness in the 1830's and '40's and '50's. Our state owes much to their courage, their thrift, and their sturdy industry . My grandfather and grandmother had, in the course of years, acquired a family of five children, two of whom died in infancy. It was quite evident that they could not manage to give all of them an eduction beyond that afforded by the district school of their neighborhood. The only daughter , Martha, obtained a teacher's certificate and taught country school for a number of years . Grandfather himself had had educational opportunities, but he was a highly intelligent man, a master craftsman, and he was ambitious for one of his sons, at least, to have a high school and college education. The lot fell to James I., possibly because he was the eldest son. At what sacrifices one may imagine , the family saw to it that James should attend high school at Howell, five miles to the southwest, and should prepare himself for the entrance examinations at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. James I. had a keen, brilliant mind and a serious appreciation of what an education could mean to him. He made the most of his opportunities. He not only passed the examinations for entrance into the University, but, in due course, completed the prescribed curriculum of the Law School with a creditable record . He was graduated in the spring of 1862. He opened his law office that autumn and began his practice in Hubbardston in Ionia County, a small village in a rich agricultural community. In those first years, as a young lawyer, James Van Keuren made a brilliant beginning. He had few competitors, and soon built up a profitable practice. Hardly had he established himself in his practice, however, when he was faced with a critical decision. His father, now an aging man, had been stricken with a serious illness. His mother, a frail little woman, aging also and unable to supervise the farm, needed James at home. Apparently he had no choice but to go back home to look after the large sheep and stock farm. He seems not to have hesitated. He closed his office and went back to the farm. No doubt he secretly hoped that it was but a temporary interruption of his professional career. Unfortunately, it was almost two decades before he was able to resume his practice. It was really a heroic sacrifice for my father to make, but I do not remember ever hearing him utter a word of complaint or of regret. Possibly those years at the farm gave him the time to read and to meditate, which was quite to his liking. He was a man of scholarly taste and great physical and intellectual vitality . However taxing his farm duties became, his cultivation of his literary taste and his philosophical 36 reflection on life and its meaning were unflagging. During those years he accumulated a valuable library of scientific books on philosophy, astronomy, and biology. He was fascinated by the new Darwinian theory . He read Latin and Greek, and both French and German. He subscribed regularly to a German language newspaper. He read the Bible and puzzled over the apparent conflict between the account of creation given in Genesis and the new Darwinian theory . He found great zest in discussing that conflict and other theological problems with the Methodist minister in Howell, a Rev. Mr. Kilpatrick . He wrote voluminously, especially articles for the Livingston Republican , published in Howell. Their theme was "searching for the truth in everyday living." They appeared under the general heading: "The Old Thought and the New Thought." I have a file of those articles. They are evidently the product of a scholarly, philosophical mind. Possibly those years, with the long, quiet winter evenings, were compensation for the interruption of his professional career. It was fifteen years after James Van Keuren 's graduation that Fanny Ann Morgan came into his life. She was a little country schoolteacher, the daughter of Benjamin A. Morgan. Perhaps the most important contribution Fanny Ann Morgan made to our future as a family was the inheritance of a new and distinctly different strain. From our Van Keuren father we had inherited a taste for reading, a passion for study, and a thirst for all that education could give us. From Fanny Ann Morgan, our mother, there came to us an inherited urge for artistic expression and for invention. Our mother's mother, Grandmother Morgan, was related to Thomas Edison's mother, and my mother's brother , Benjamin Boomer Morgan, "Uncle Ben," as we knew him, became an inventor of some note. One of his inventions, a railroad safety blocksignal, was adopted years ago by the Michigan Central Railroad. It was, however, as professional portrait painters that both he and his brother, "Al," became known. They had had, of course, only limited training, but their work was notable. Portraits of our Van Keuren grandparents, painted by B. B. Morgan in the 1870's, hang today in our living room at the farm, and a portrait of our father, James I. Van Keuren, has a place of honor in our Lansing home. B. B. Morgan lived in Ann Arbor during the 1880'sa nd early 1890's, and during those years painted several portraits of members of the University faculty. Three of them, of Governor Alpheus Felch, of Professor Edward Olney, and of Henry Betts Parsons, conspicuous examples of his skill as an artist, are still in the University's art collection. "Uncle Al," Allen A. Morgan, was also a successful portrait painter and photographer. He did a portrait of former Governor Groesbeck's father, who lived in Mt. Clemens, in Macomb County. Uncle Al told me that when he was working on this portrait young Alex, who later became Governor of Michian, was a harum-scarum barefoot boy whose chief joy was spearing frogs in the marshes around Mt. Clemens. Like her two brothers, our mother was endowed with an artistic temperament. She had had lessons in oil painting and took great pleasure in her palette and brushes. Two of her landscapes hang on the walls at the old farm today. One is copied after a picture of the ruins of Carthage. The other is a jungle scene of the Amazon. Her easel brushes, palette, and paint tubes were tabu so far as we boys were concerned, but they quite fascinated us. How we did want to dabble a bit with the brushes and oils! The temptation was almost irresistible when there was a nice white canvas tacked on a frame on Mother's easel just waiting for something to happen. One day we got our hands on a paint tube and proceeded to experiment. Unfortunately, we squeezed just a little too hard and then, to our consternation, found that we couldn't possibly force the paint back into the tube. Our mother was no Sherlock Holmes, but she had little difficulty in finding the culprit. Another interest of these two brothers of our mother was violin-making. If the Italians could make beautiful, richtoned instruments, why couldn't they? B. B. Morgan was the first of the brothers to take up violin-making. It seemed to challenge his craftsmanship in wood-working. Then Al felt confident that he could make a better violin than his brother . Al had the advantage of being younger than Ben and, as he lived near Portland, Maine, where the long winters and deep snows kept people indoors, he had more leisure time than his brother to work at his hobby. He became so well known for his skill as a violin-maker that he was elected president of the New England Violin-Makers' Association. At his death, I was appointed executor of his estate . An inventory of his possessions disclosed over one hundred violins strung up like curing tobacco leaves in his attic. So far as I could determine, he had never sold one of them in his life. He had made one after another, evidently with the hope that his product would ultimately match for excellence the best of the famous old Italian violins. I still have in my possession a few of those he made . Experts have judged them excellent as to workmanship, finish, graduation , and tone. I have never painted , as my mother and uncles did, but I have, in later years, become a camera fan ; I take great pleasure in my battery of cameras, and in experimenting with every sort of gadget. I find color photography a very satisfactory substitute for the painting which, considering my heritage, I suppose I should have done. And since the days when, as a little boy, I played my violin in our little orchestra-the four of us-I have had a passionate interest in violins. Like my uncle Ben Morgan, I have through the years made a collection of rare violins. It is now my great pride . One of them was made in Warsaw in 1846 by a Polish violinmaker. It was brought to the United States by Michael Press when he came to this country to teach violin at Michigan State College in East Lansing. After his death, I purchased it and presented it to Emily Mutter Adams, a talented Howell girl who is now a member of the first violin section of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. She had studied under "Mike" Press, and has felt it a privilege to play her former teacher's violin. Before disposing of his instrument, my son Paul and I had Rubinoff try it out when he was in Lansing for a concert. He pronounced it a fine instrument and wanted to purchase it. He found it especially interesting because it had a neck a quarter-inch longer than standard. I also have a genuine Guarnerius and a very fine old violin that claims to be a Stradivarius. It is interesting to note that the artistic temperament of the Morgans has been transmitted from one generation to another . One of my sons, James Stewart Van Keuren, studied art as a part of his course in architecture at the University of Michigan, and has now taken up painting as a pastime . One of the sons of Admiral Van Keuren , Alex, Jr ., has simsilarly become interested in painting both in oil and in water-colors . And their work is strikingly similar. Both cousins find pleasure in playing the piano, as does my son Paul, who studied music with private teachers at Cranbrook and at Michigan State College. He is an accomplished pianist and also sings in the church and in the Orpheus Club in Lansing . My parents were married in the little country church near the farm in 1877. Within six years they had the four sturdy boys to whose upbringing and education they devoted themselves with wholehearted consecration . Those were happy years for all of us-those years at the old farm . To be sure Grandfather was gone, and we missed him, but the frail little grandmother presided as the matriarch of the family . It was really our wonderful mother , however, who managed us all, including Father . He entered so wholeheartedly into everything that interested his four boys that he was almost like another boy himself. He boxed and wrestled, coasted and skated, and played our rough games with us; and was always able to see our point of view when arguments arose. It must be admitted , however, that he held us all strictly to our prescribed duties . His whole life interest, at that time, was concentrated on training, disciplining, and inspiring us to make ourselves strong, agile, both physically and intellectually . His boys were his compensation for the sacrifice he had made in interrupting the career for which he had prepared himself. His devotion and his consideration for our mother, and his unstinting cooperation with her in her plans for us, left a lasting impression on all of us. Mother saw to it that our prescribed duties on the farm and our joyous outdoor activities did not interfere with our school work. Having been a teacher, she was able to help us in our difficulties, and she felt it her duty to hold us strictly to our school routine. She observed our progress, criticized us sharply, but tactfully, and when, at last, she saw the district school was no longer adequate for our development, she insisted that Father rent the farm and move to Howell. There we boys would have the advantages of the high school. Neither she nor Father had ever, for a moment, thought of the possibility of our not having a college education . The plan commended itself to us all . Father was glad to resume, at long last, his practice of law; Mother looked forward to the more congenial life in a community, where she would find friends with tastes like her own. Even Grandmother, young in spirit, though now nearing ninety, also approved the plan. Accordingly, the farm was rented to a German family by the name of Snively, and we went to town. We soon found ourselves settled in a rented house on a pleasant shady street in the busy little town of Howell. Father was as eager and proud of his law office, just off Main Street , with its swinging sign "James I. Van Keuren," as if he had suffered no interruption of his life plans for those many years. Fortunately, while at the farm he had maintained his personal contacts with his friends in town. He had written often for the weekly Howell paper. He was known as a serious, thoughtful, clever man . The town welcomed him back-he would be a useful citizen. Very shortly, he began to see his practice return to him. The household at Howell, during those first years, was in charge of three wonderful women who had a great affection for each other and a rare faculty for working together harmoniously- " Grandmother Charlotte," still bright and active ; "Aunt Martha, " my father's maiden sister ; and "Fanny Ann," our adored mother. Things at home ran smoothly, and we four boys found life in town full of interest. We made new friends at school and in our neighborhood, and were thrilled by the prospect of preparing for college. Then, suddenly, within one single year, all the beloved women of our family were taken by death , and Father was left alone with four boys to care for. It was a tragic year, indeed, for us all . Grandmother Charlotte was ninety-two; her death seemed in the order of nature . Aunt Martha , too, was elderly. But Mother seemed so young and so· full of life! She had just nursed us four boys through a terrible illness. There had been in Howell one of those epidemics of diphtheria which were so common in those days before antitoxins had been developed. Shortly after we had all recovered, Mother, assuming that she would have developed immunity to the disease , went to offer her help to one of her neighbors who had diphtheria. She was taken violently ill shortly afterward and died. Her loss was a blow that stunned us all. After a few months of helpless groping, Father was fortunate in obtaining a housekeeper, Mrs. Gillette, who proved 37 a great help to us. She brought her own little boy with her, so that Father found himself with us five boys, besides himself and Mrs. Gillette, to support. To feed, clothe, and educate a family of five boys was no slight task, especially in the early 1890's, when the country was suffering the depression of the Cleveland administration. If we had not had the farm to supply us with some of the necessities-potatoes, beans, pork, fruit, butter, and eggs-we would not have fared as well as we did. Money was scarce, especially as Father's clients had little or none with which to pay for his legal services. As business was, of necessity, conducted by barter and the exchange of produce for groceries and meats, Father had cordwood cut on shares at the farm and delivered to the stores where we had bills for produce of one sort or another. One of our Saturday jobs was to drive Ned, the old family horse, out to the farm, where we hitched the team, Boney and Bill, to the wagon and loaded up a couple of cords of wood to deliver in town to people to whom Father owed bills. Then we had to drive back to the farm in the empty wagon to get our horse and buggy. By the time we reached home at night we had had quite a day of it. We were fortunate, of course, to have all the wood we needed for our own use, and we did use a lot. I well remember the huge pile of "chunk wood" in our back yard that we boys had to split and pile in the woodshed, cord on cord for use in the kitchen cookstove and in the large wood stove in the living room which was conveniently placed between the parlor and Father's bedroom. We boys did all we could to help earn what we needed for clothes and spending money. We worked during summer vacations at odd jobs of all sorts. We mowed lawns, worked on farms; even sold books and tool subscriptions for magazines. One summer, I remember, I went into partnership with Emil Bode, a friend of my brothers. We managed somehow to acquire a view camera which used 5x7 and 8x10 glass negatives. We walked through the country taking pictures of farm buildings, livestock, and family groups, which we developed, printed, and finished after we returned to Howell. We then went back over the same route to sell and deliver the pictures. There wasn't much profit in this project , but it helped piece out our limited personal budgets and it developed an interest in photography which has been my personal hobby ever since. By one project or another, all four of us were able to supplement what our father was able to provide us for our college education. Charles, Alex, and Harry all, in due course, attended the University of Michigan. Charles the eldest, was graduated in the class of 1902w ith the Bachelor of Arts degree. To help with his expenses, he waited table at a boardinghouse, did advertising on a student publication, and almost anything else that came his way. In his senior year he reported for the Toledo Blade and for several other papers, which brought him into the acquaintance of Fielding H. Yost, "Hurry-up Yost," the famous football coach. Charles and some of his newspaper friends conceived the idea that, if Yost would write a book on football, it would sell like hot cakes because of his reputation as a successful coach. Yost finally consented to furnish the copy, diagrams of plays, and photographs of the teams, if Charles and his friends would provide the text. This book was published as Football for Player and Spectator. At this point I enter the scene. Yost wanted someone to look after finances on the project, keep records of sales, pay bills, and render accounts. Charlie got me to come over on week-ends from Howell, where I was working in a bank, to set up and keep the records on the project. The first edition of the book sold quite widely to coaches and students in high schools all over this country and even in foreign countries, wherever there were Amaricans interested in football. When the mail orders began to pour in, as a result of our advertising in Youth's Companion and other 38 publications , our success went to our heads, and we rashly placed a huge order for a second edition. Unfortunately, by the time the books were off the press the football season was over; we had a monstrous supply of the books and, of course, no demand for them as Christmas was approaching and enthusiasm for football had cooled with the winter snows. It was fun, anyway, while it lasted, but right then and there I decided to keep clear of the publishing business. After his graduation from the University of Michigan, Charles went into politics. He was elected to the State House of Representatives on the Republican ticket from Livingston County. From that time and during his entire business life, both he and his wife, Florence, were active workers in Republican politics. While engaged in developing oil properties and various industrial enterprises, he found time to report and write for a number of important newspapers and periodicals . He died in 1950 at the age of seventy-two, leaving his widow and married daughter, Betty, with two granddaughters who now live in Detroit. Alex, or "Al" as he was called by his associates, worked at odd jobs during his freshman year at the University of Michigan. On returning home at the end of that year , he found that his younger brother, Harry, had entered a competitive examination for appointment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. When the examination was to be held in Pontiac, Father sent "Brother Al" along with Harry as a sort of sponsor, because Harry had never been that far away from home before. Harry unfortunately did not pass his physical examination; so Al decided that he would take the examination in his place. Al not only passed his physical examination but had the highest marks of all the contestants and, by a strange irony of fate, won the appointment to Annapolis. Al was an excellent student; he was graduated number one in his class at the Academy. He divided the number-one honors in his class, however, with his roommate, who strangely enough, had exactly the same scholastic grades for the four-year course . This was the only time that two midshipmen in the same class had ever been graduated from the Academy as number-one men ; I doubt if it has ever happened since. After his graduation from Annapolis as an ensign, Al joined the Pacific Fleet on the battleship Wisconsin and saw service in the Philippines, Japan, and China. While on this duty, he was ordered back to the United States for further education in engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduation he entered the Navy Bureau of Construction and Repair, in which he served in nearly all the navy yards in the country. He was finally appointed, by President Roosevelt, Chief of the Bureau of Ships, U.S.N. He was held over as a rear admiral during the Second World War, even though he was beyond retirement age, in order to take advantage of his valuable experience gained during a lifetime in the Navy. He is now retired and lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife Helen. They have one son, Alex, Jr ., who has followed in his father's footsteps; he served in the Naval Reserve as a lieutenant senior grade during the Second World War. Their daughter, Frances, who is now married and has two children, entered the service of her country in the WAVES. It has thus been a strictly Navy family. In fact, the Van Keurens were represented in the different branches of the Navy be a rear admiral, a lieutenant commander, a senior lieutenant, and three WAVES. Harry, after his graduation from Howell High School, entered the engineering college at the University of Michigan. He was so disappointed at not getting an opportunity to take the examination for appointment to Annapolis that he left Ann Arbor and enlisted in the old 14th U.S. Cavalry, then stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He hoped in this way to gain a commission from the ranks. He would probably have done so if I had not, through political influence in Washington, obtained his discharge. He had misrepresented his age when he enlisted and had not had Father's consent, as was required, because he was underage. After his discharge, he continued his education at M.I.T. and later at Columbia University, from which he was graduated with a degree in engineering. After graduation he spent some time at his chosen profession both in the United States and in Mexico. When the First World War broke our Harry was commissioned captain in the Air Force and sent to Langley Field, Virginia, to help develop and test planes of all types for the government. British, French, and Italian planes were sent to this field for testing, and experienced flyers from these countries came over to advise and help build better fighter planes for our forces . In the Second World War Harry joined the Inventors' Council in Washington, D.C., to assist in helping improve all types of military equipment. As a result of his strenuous work in the service of his country while on his last assignment with the Inventors' Council, he suffered a heart attack and passed away in a Washington hospital. He rests in Arlington National Cemetery with other loyal patriots who gave their lives to make this country what it is today. He is survived by his wife, Marie Steel Van Keuren, and two daughters, Katherine and Virginia, who both served as WAVES during the war . On June 18, 1913, I married Miss Margaret M. Kennedy of Lansing. Her father was the late Samuel A. Kennedy, who served as Deputy Secretary of State when Washington Gardner was Secretary of State . We have two sons, James Stewart, who was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1938 and is now a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve, stationed in the Navy Department, Washington, D.C., and Paul I., a graduate of Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, who is now Assistant Secretary- Treasurer of the Ingham Abstract and Title Company, working in the Mason office. During the Second World War Paul served as a sergeant in the Adjutant General's Office, Pacific Theater, under General Douglas MacArthur's command, from August, 1945,u ntil January 1946,i n Manila, and from February to September, 1946, in Tokyo, after which he returned to the United States for discharge. The Van Keurens thus continue their record of service to their country into another generation. ·:~ 00000000000~00000000000~ ~J .. ROBERRT.

Love and his family arrived in New York City from England on the 10th of June, 1836, and immediately began a journey westward, with the intention of settling in Illinois. Proceeding to Albany by steamer, they disembarked , and again continued their journey to Rochester, N .Y . by the Erie Canal . At the latter city the female portion of the family were left in comfortable quarters, while the father and son, Thomas, kept on via the canal to Buffalo; thence by lake steamer to Detroit. In Detroit they met some English friends who had already entered land in Township 2 North, of Range 4 East and were persuaded by them, on their representations, to enter lands in present town of Marion. Henry G. Love purchased 4 lots of the west half of Section 33, situated South of Cedar Lake . About the first thing done, after getting settled, was the cutting of the largest whitewood tree to be found on Mr . Bavin's premises, this was fashioned into a huge ca'noe, and launched upon Cedar Lake . This was the first boat placed on the lake by white men, and proved a source of great benefit to the settlers, for, as one of them remarked, "There was an abundance of fish in Uncle Sam's waters ." These remarks taken from History of Livingston County, date 1880. Henry T. Love, son of Thomas and Lavina Love, was born in 1843. He stayed home and worked with his father until he was a young man. On September 17, 1873 he married Sarah Lakin. They bought 80 acres in Section 20 of Marion Twp. Floyd Love, son of Henry T. Love and Sarah Love was born Oct. 2, 1876 on the old farm. Floyd Love bought the farm when he was a young man . In 1912 it was known as Loves Corners. As a young man he went to Marion Twp. school in the old town hall. On March 31, 1915 he married Hazel Huff in the house he was born in . Running water and a furnace were installed soon after . To this union were born four children, three boys and one girl. The boys Charles, Fred and Bruce were born in the family house, Mary was born in Pinckney Sanitarium. Charles and Fred attended school at Marion Center, later the Andersen School. Mary and Bruce attended Andersen School. All four children went to Howell High School. In 1927, the family farm was sold and the family bought 300 acres in Section 16 & 17 of Marion Twp . Charles Love was married to Dorothy Miller in 1937, land was purchased in Section 16 & 17, Marion Twp . Charles is still farming this land. Two children were born, Norman, and Charlene Love . Fred Love was married to Elna Kleinschmidt in 1940. Fred farmed in Conway Twp . and is semi-retired on land in Conway Twp. Mary Love married Henry Miller in 1946. Four girls were born, Carol, Virginia, Rebecca, and Marlene . The Miller family are farmers in Conway Twp . Bruce Love was married in 1948 to Grace Riemenschneider, they have one son Paul, who is farming with his father , on the family farm. Thus have we briefly traced the settlement here of a small company of English people-men and women of sterling worth-who, to the present time, have honored themselves and the land of their adoption .

The Boothy Family By Viola Neil Noah Henry Boothby was born in Lockport New York, 1831. His father was a shoemaker. He learned the trade and came to Michigan, settled in Howell in 1954 on Mason Road. The Indians had a trail that led to the Pinckney Rd. They always left before daylight. Noah married Harriet Borger and moved in town, now Michigan Ave. He enlisted in the infantry with the Fighting Fifths . His little son Willis felt bad . He told him he would make him a pair of copper toed boots and they would have their pictures taken . He made the boots, took the picture . A week after he left for the war. A large team and wagon drove up in front of the house to pick up Noah. He was on his way to Pontiac Mich. The wagon was full of drafted men . Willis stood by the muddy road with his little dog Doie. When the horses started up the dog took off and Willis after the dog. His father tried to make the dog go back . No luck, Willis was mud to his knees . His mother was sick. A young boy went to find Willis. He ran over three miles, lost one boot his father made him . But got home safe. His father's boot and his dog were gone. And a sad little boy was left. Willis was six years old. Noah was wounded in service, his leg was saved after eight months in the hospital until he was able to go back to his work as a carpenter. He ran a shop on State St. Butcher shop carving and shoemaking in the back part. By 1875 the large square houses were built again . Noah Boothby, Willis Boothby and Fred Brockway built most of them. The early ones have a lookout on top, the last ones were flat. Noah built his Ann house around 1879 on N. National. He had five children, Willis Boothby, Jennie Rushford, Albert Boothby, Carrie Brockway, Mettie Laurenze. Noah's wife died and Willis stayed with his father . Noah wanted a larger Methodist church. Nights after work he would take the team and stone boat and draw in large stone, then split them so the men could put up the wall. He got his church and he loved it. Noah passed away in 1914 at 82. Willis went on with the carpenter work. He did finish work and log cabin floors. Willis Boothby married Mary Lawrenze from Detroit in 1897. 44 • He loved baseball and played on the Howell team for years . He liked to fish, he caught 26 fish out of one hole. Frank Cooper got 14 fish out of the same hole. This was the talk of Howell Lake about 1910. The last house he built at the age of 76 years. It was on Fowler and Livingston St. Willis was a Methodist also . He got his first skates on the church Christmas tree at 9 years old. He was a good skater. He had two children, Ethel Frey of Detroit and Viola Dunlop at home. He lost his wife in 1920. He still lives in the home his father built. Viola married John Dunlop. Willis made his home with them for twenty eight years, and died in 1945a t the age of 87. John was employed at the Howell pistons 23 years and Electric Red Bond Motors twenty one. Viola had an antique shop on E. Sibley Street for thirty two years. She retired in 1967-they have four children, all in Howell. Margaret Erb, owner of the Erb Lime Stone on Bower.

The Walker Home This picture was taken in 1913. They are Mr . and Mrs . John Walker and 2 daughters, Ruby and Lucille . The lady standing on the porch is Mrs. Henry Beurman a sister of Mr . Walker . Mr . Walker had retired from his farm on Latson Road and bought the Doctor Mills house at S09 N. State St. 45 Culver's Triangle Yes , I remember when - and I th ink there are numerous other "kids my age"-younger,-older , who recall the good t i mes at Culver ' s T ri angle , espec ially du ri ng the JO's and early 1940' s. My folks, Charles K. and Ruth B. CP hi llips) Culver built and operated the Triangle , located on a triangular piece of land (thus the name ), 2½ miles west of Howell on Grand River Avenue . (I always will remember hear i ng those big trucks shifting and grinding up that steep hill!). The original upright was erected in about 1924, and sometime later , my father enlarged the place by adding a double width room across the front , plus porch and entry. At this time, customer service was provided through one of the front windows for drive -in customers, as well as tables available inside for leisure d ining . We also had the old t i me " crank " gasoline pumps . We sold gas and oi l, there was a cabin so travelers or truckers could stay the night , and we also provided space for house trailers. My mother was an excellent cook and for a time we served home style ch icken dinners w ith all the f i xin's , every week-end . However , it proved to be too much for her , so we specia l ized in sandwiches , homemade pies , etc, from then on . Later, my father further improved and enlarged the bu i lding, by enclosing the front entry. Ours was a family operation and we were the chief cooks and bottle washer. The specialty of the house was a variety of delicious Bar - B-Q sandwiches, C Ham, beef, pork and ch icken) enhanced with a special chili sauce . C People still ask me about them .) Many of the local people were regular customers as well as travelers who made it a point to stoo in for some of our sandwiches whenever they were in the area . The Triangle was also a gathering place for th~ school crowd . They could come there, dance and have a good time , not to worry about static at home as a result . It had a family atmosphere and we knew most of our customers by name . They would stop by after the show , fellows would bring their dates for a snack, groups came out after bowling or playing ball . We often had receptions and other special occasions for those requesting it. My father was a great horse shoe pitcher, and kept a court in readiness on the lawn . Whenever he could, he and a customer or two would take time out for a game . My folks gave me a party one winter-it was either for my 16th Birthday or Valentine ' s Day-not sure now , which, but there were quite a few friends from school. We were having a great time dancing to the Juke Box, probably the Beer Barrel Polka or other lively tune and suddenly the door opened to a nearby buffet and a whole stack of 46 china went rattling onto the floor! Surprisingly, nothing was broken , but the incident stuck in our minds and was laughingly mentioned to me several times after that , by those who had been present . In May , the 21st, 1940 I marr ied Don . B. Britten, who was in business w ith his father, C.E . Br itten , Garage and Wrecker Service at 714 E . Gd . River . C Incidentally , the i r phone number at that time was Number 4). In the fall of 1941 my father died suddenly after a short illness. The second World War was in progress, help was hard to find, and due to this, we initiated a self-serve program into the business which eventually proved to be quite popular, since it made for quicker service . I believe we were one of the first to use this method . An episode of a "near miss" stands out in my memory-We had qu ite a few customers that afternoon, when a tornado struck. The sky was black as night and it sounded like many freight tra ins passing over . We could see the ceil i ng fluctuate and the lights dimmed , blinked and went out . We lit some candles and put them in strategic places. We had a gas stove and oven that we used to heat the sand - wiches , so could continue fo fill the orders for our customers. We were lucky . When the storm abated , we found it had wrecked a big barn across the road , but the funnel had lifted enough to miss our building, although it had ripped off all the railing on the roof. We never found any of the signs it blew away . Another incident that went over with a bang, literally! One of our regular customers was traveling east on Grand River . He decided to stop in that afternoon, but when he started to turn, his auto struck a patch of ice on the pavement and the car smashed into the front entrance of our place before the car stopped moving . The gentleman was alone and was not hurt , nor was anyone hurt in the building, but the coll is ion jam med the front door . It had to be removed before anyone could get i n or out . The accident happened on a week-end, so with canvas draped over the entry as securely as possible C middle of winter}, it was business as usual, for about three weeks until repairs could be made . Three years later , we decided to sell the Triangle. It had been under or iginal ownership for over 20 years . After we sold the business , it changed hands several times, and eventually burned to the ground . Since growing up in the business world , I found that even though my husband was in business and we had a growing family, things didn't seem complete without my having a finger in the pie somewhere! My husband and his father discontinued the garage-wrecker business and went into Excavation work for a number of years . Many local people had their basements excavated and lawns graded by C.E . Britten and Son. During this time Don bought his father's share of the business, then later sold the equipment and we entered the new and used furniture business at our farm, still in the Howell area. About 1 s years later we sold the farm and moved to our present location. There has been an unusual twist in our world of business. I play with dolls all day-how's that for a fun occupation? I am referring to Herriette's Doll Hospital and Sales, 205 E . M59, Howell. It is a unique and extremely busy home business where local and distant Michiganders, as well as out of state customers bring or send ailing dolls for "tender, loving care". All kinds of antique and near antique dolls travel many miles to the hospital to be restored back to health. An unlimited variety of handmade costumes are fashioned for these dolls in appropriate styles. Designing originals, or copying old garments or pictures is a specialty. Wigs, stands and other accessories, dressed dolls, kits, old fashioned sunbonnets in all sizes and colors for dolls, children and grown-ups are displayed in the showrooms. This is our 5th year in "Dolls" and we are celebrating along with the Bicentennial. The doll has a limp, and her hair is a mess- There's a pain in her sawdust, she needs help-oh yes! An arm is missing and her eyes are crossed- Her clothing's in shreds and she feels so lost. The poor little darling, long lost in the attic- Send her to Harriette--no need to get frantic. Dolls are my business, its a pleasure for sure- All manner of dolls come here for "the cure"! Now her body's restrung, or patched if its leather- Her eyes are working and she's all together. Every hair is in place--a real lady, but oh- Last but not least-now, wouldn't you know? A new wardrobe to suit her is next, I trust- Especially designed for her age is a must! A little girl and her Christmas gifts. Undies so fine, with tucks, ribbons and lace- Then a gown that is stylish, to flatter her face . No matter the problem, there's always a way- To fix up your doll, so send her today! HARRIETTE ROSE CULVER BRITTEN 47 cars . The Craft Family Laura Jane Hunn was born in Bronson Michigan April 22, 1848. She with her parents Gideon and Anna Hunn moved to this farm in 1850, when she was only two years old .

George Craft died January 19, 1913. Laura Jan Hunn Craft on Oct . 24, 1921. She lived on the farm all her life, except 2 years . There was a log house that stood farther West in the field from the house. We have no picture of the log house. The old part of the house that now stands is well over 100 years old. The beams are logs that were cut from the farm. The new part was built in 1900. The land in the farm was considered about the best in the township. Our greatest attraction was our windmill. It was one that would tilt, so it could be worked on without climbing up . We did this good many times for people to let them see how it works . Only one like that for miles around . Our first car, a Regal, black leather top, we think about a 1913 model. George Craft as a young man worked at the Ann Arbor railroad . When it first went through Howell, Howell was just a swamp he remembers . Our great-great-grandfather Parson Hunn had a big peach orchard. He had one special kind of peach people seem to want called milkatune. It was quite a large peach. I remember I saw just one of them. After some years passed his grandson Harvey wanted to follow in his grandfathers' steps. He started out berries, for a year or two. 48 Then he started his peach orchard, but couldn't find a milkatune peach, so he put in some apple trees. He always had a good sale in Howell and around. He always let the people come to the orchard which they all loved to do . The women would gather the fruit up in their aprons, which my father liked to see. He knew they were all happy , Anna M . Craft 8am Builders Barn building 1913 at the Hardy farm Highland Rd . by the Gontack brothers and Frank Daniels (holding hammer) long time resident of Howell.

Smith The farm (Section 7, Marion Twp.) was taken up from the Government on September 16th, 1835 by my great , great grandfather, Stoddard Smith. He came to Michigan from Greenville, New York at that time. His son, Pierpont, came to Byron Michigan from New York a short time before, and built and operated a water powered mill in that settlement. Soon after 1835, Pierpont came to Marion Twp. and purchased property adjoining that of Stoddard's. The Gus Smith that is mentioned in the Civil War report in The Howell Bicentennial History was Pierpont's son, Wm. Augustus Smith, an older brother of my Grandfather, Junius. Junius also was a soldier in the Civil War was wounded in the same battle in which Gus received his fatal injuries. Stoddard Smith and wife, Betsy Lee, were two of the first burials in the Lake Cemetery, he in 1842 and she in 1847. In later years, Pierpont and his wife and their three sons and three daughters were also buried there . My grandfather, ShropshireS heep Timothy Smith , former post master in Howell and Robert R . Smith, grandfather of Louis Parker Hicks in the i r sheep shearing clothes . This probably was taken about 1868-1870. They acquired quite a reputation for shearing the largest number of sheep in a single day . Junius, was the only one of this large family to have a family (my father , Gus B. Smith, and his two sisters). I am the only son of Gus B. and now own the farm. Now our son, Ron, also has a home on this farm . Order of descendents of owners of this farm (Sec. 7, Marion Twp. Liv.

Indian Legend This Indian Tree is one of six in the state. It is at Cedar Point on Cedar Lake . The legend is when Indian tribes make peace treaties they would take a small oak and bend it in this shape. They would then be friends as long as the tree lived. The tree is believed to be 300 years old . Reed F annhouse Rocky Ridge, dairy and fruit farm on Jewell Road owned by Hiram E. Reed and his wife Rebecca Tubbs Reed. Starting in the early 1900's, their sons, J. Lewis, then Charles P. Reed managed this farm in Marion Township. This picture shows the back of the 14-room house with the windmill used for power . Note under the clump of bushes near the side porch, the stepping-stone rock for passengers and hitching post for buggies. The farm totaled 180 acres, part of it backed on the north side by the Michigan State Sanatorium . Charles P. Reed ( 1878-1955) had master degree in horticulture from Michigan State University and spent five years with the U.S. Department of Agriculture before returning to the farm . He served on the board of directors of the Howell Co-op Company for 27 years and as its president for several terms. His wife , Ora Woodin Reed, remembers leaving the farm at 2 a .m . to take a load of fruit to Detroit's Eastern Market . After the cows were milked, Charles would follow with a second load. All kinds of small fruit were grown on the farm . During harvest time about 40 pickers were needed. Ora Reed recalls when the telephone was installed there were 23 subscribers on their party line. 51 Reed Leader in Holsteins R. Clark Reed was one of the leading livestock growers in Michigan.

I'I ' II II Liebermans in 1947 Liebermans Farm Service In the early 1900's Elmer Lieberman ran a very successful business in Detroit Mich . on the weekends he and his family visited his cottage in Oak Grove . As the depression approached he felt he should sell his business in Detroit. In 1930 Elmer and his oldest son John decided to purchase a garage and start a family business to service the rural community of Oak Grove . Elmer's first business was located in the back of a barn located on the corner of Sanford and Faussett Rd. in Oak Grove, now owned by his son Harold . Business was doing so well that Elmer purchased a much larger building on Hicks Rd . now Faussett Rd. formerly owned by the Rohrabacher family, adjacent to Pearce's Store . Elmer was not only a good mechanic but a good machinest , he also was director of local schools. By about 1940 John was married and returned to Detroit and Elmer's younger sons Arnold, Harold and Donald worked for their father in the garage .

Later the building was used as a body shop by his youngest son Donald . Elmer and sons spent many long enjoyable hours meeting new people and serving the community . The business was sold in 1967 and is missed by all.

Williams, who, for many years, was a Howell business man and active in church and civic groups . The Devries reside in Owosso . Frances for many years worked in Howell as a care worker for the Emergency Relief Commission . The Hacker House The two story brick house was built by Frank and Tilly Hacker, in 1883. They had one son Ben . The house replaced a log cabin and was the main house on their large dairy farm . Frank was the first farmer in the county to drive a gas driven tractor . The original house was designed with 5 bedrooms upstairs, a front parlor, large living room, with bay on the south side, large dining room, and kitchen. Through the years the house has been redesigned, inside and out . But some of the spacious 10 ft. ceilings and large rooms still remain. Joseph & Tilly Foldenauer and children lived in the house and ran the farm for about 25 years following the Hackers, and possibly one other family . In 1973 the house was purchased by it's present owners, Paul & Barbara Buwa and their two children . A new demension in the lovely house is the 3 sided field stone and brick fire place that opens into both the living room and dining room. Historical Museum Depot Museum The Toledo-Ann Arbor Depot located at the foot of North Walnut Street was built in 1885-1886. A plank covered tunnel under N . Michigan , State and Court streets to Barnard, carried the tracks east to Grand River, crossing south at about the site of an early Toll Gate on Grand River road . The Depot was purchased in 1970 Dy the Livingston County Historical Society as a museum to house a large DAR collection of memorabilia pertaining to the past of Livingston County. Generous contributions from Livingston County residents have been added to the original collection. Funds for the purchase of the Depot from the railroad were obtained by an auction and County Fair in August of 1969. Total county-wide support made this all day event a great success. The museum and grounds are maintained by the members of the society with proceeds from the Flea Market held on the grounds during the Annual Howell Melon Festival. PAT MALAFOURIS 63 Mrs. Nellie Lansing Glenn Nellie Deborah Lansing shown sitting in her office at the Michigan State Sanatorium . The "San " opened September, 1907. During the first three years , Nellie Lansing was secretary and receptionist , handling patient records, account books and correspondence . On September 7, 1910, she married Dr . Bernard H . Glenn, who had been assistant superintendent of the sanatorium from August to December, 64 1908. They resided in Fowlerville where Dr . Glenn had his medical practice . Nellie Lansing Glenn (1881-1975) was active in the D.A .R. , was charter member of the Livingston County Historical Society , and was a noted expert on the people and history of Livingston County . Mary V . Reed A Howell g i rl , Nellie Lansing , who later married Fowlerville's Dr . B.H . Glenn , for many years was known as Livingston County's historian. Her demise in 1975 saddened many , many hearts. A large part of the DAR , and in recent years the Livingston County Historical Society , were the handiwork of Nellie Glenn . Permanently affixed in the depot museum in Howell of the LCHS is this bronze plaque, recently presented to the Society by two 1911 Howell High grads, Harold Armstrong now of California and George D . Monroe of Howell. Mrs. Nellie Lansing Glenn, a Howell girl of a noted Howell family, married Fowlerville physician Dr . Bernard Glenn , and was the beloved historian of the DAR locally . Later she helped organize the Livingston County Historical Society, and each Chr istmas opened her home to the membership for an old fashioned Christmas . Here in 1971 she chats with Mrs. Dorothy Blanchard , center, president of the LCHS , and with Mrs . Barbara Pettibone , wife of museum curator Norman Pett i bone , both Howell ladies . Anel A . Quigley in front of his gas station at Pinckney Rd . and Coon Lake Rd . in 1934. Quigley Gas Station Quigley came with his folks when six years old in 1872 from New York State to Chesaning , Mich . In 1933 he moved to "Wright's Corners " with his wife Eugenia (Carpenter) , (she was born in Fowlerville and l ived in Howell for many years) and a son Kenneth, just out of high school. Anel had barbered in Chesan ing for 48 years, so he had a barber chair in the station and also sold some candy and tobacco in the limited space . Additional liv i ng quarters were added , but Mr. Quigley passed away in 1939. The station was kept open by Mrs. Quigley and others for a few years , but eventually became the residence of Dorothy and Kenneth Qu igley . In 1960 the corner was sold to Russel Bens i nger, and the Quigleys moved to a new house on the N .W . corner of the four acres . Eugenia passed away in 1956. K.A . Quigley Maycock Centennial Home Th is picture of the Maycock home was taken about f ifty years ago . It is not known how old the house is as it was on the property when James and Mary Ann Maycock, with their three daughters, came from Canada and bought the farm in 186S. Later a son, Harry , was born here . The farm has remained in the family and the third generation of the family lives here . Harry and Carr ie M itchell Maycock , with their three~ons, Donald , Leslie , and Harold , next owned the farm . Now it is owned by Harold and Loreene Maycock who are the parents of Susan Brooks of Detroit and Sarah Coselman of Fowlerville . At one time the house faced on Pingree Road but later the interior 66 was changed to face on Coon Lake Road . The exterior of the house has not been changed in all these years except to be covered with asbestos shi ngles . During the past forty years the house has been modernized with electric ity and running water . The spacious lawn in front of the house still has the large catalpa tree that was here in 186S. It is bel ieved to be one of the largest in the state . Four generations of the family have enjoyed the lawn , and shade of the old tree . Mrs. Harold J . Maycock The Family Car This picture of the Harry Maycock family was taken about 1917 when Donald , the oldest son, was home on furlough from Camp Custer. Don later served in France during the war . Soon after his return he married Sarah Batchelor of Oceola Township and moved to Howell where he opened a tire and battery shop in the building now occupied by the Standard Office Supply . Don was a Howell businessman for many years before his death in 1959. Harold J . Maycock / Green School This old school picture was taken of the Green School in Marion Township located on the corner of Pingree and Vines Roads. This bui lding is still standing but has been converted to a home . Among the families represented in the picture are those of Smith , Ward, Backhus , Moore , Haynes, Horwood , White , Tilson , Devons, Bliss, and Maycock . The Ward and Maycock families are still represented in the neighborhood . Harold J. Maycock 67 I I. The Brady House Though others lived there before us, and after us, the white house with its cupola, charcoal shutters and Victorian wrap-around front porch, at 108 South Street and East Grand River, came to be known as "The Brady House" possibly because our family's tenure was the longest, some 47 years. It has been occupied since 1966 by its present owner, the Ray Kleehammers . Recorded as "Village Lot No. S9 on the Whipple Addition to the Village of Howell," the house is believed to have been built and first occupied by Philo B. Wines and his wife Mary E., some time beforeor just into-the 1870s. It is clearly delineated, from cupola to barn, in an old "bird's-eye-view" picture map of Howell now hanging on a wall of the Old Howell House. Another copy of the map may be seen in the old Howell depot , headquarters of the Livingston County Historical Society . Our parents, Matthew B. and Blanche C. Brady, purchased the house about 1910 from the Winton Fishbeck family, who had bought it in 1903. Records show previous owners to have been the Elizabeth M . Field Family ( 187S to 1896) and Harriet M . and Frank Bailey (1896 to 1903). The exterior of the house, when we moved there, was of white wooden siding, which my father later had covered with "Kello Stone" much in vogue at the time. Now the house appears much the same as it first did to us, since the Kleehammers recently had the old gray stone covered with narrow white vinyl siding . The front porch was also much the same as now, except that my father had it slightly extended, and this porch became almost an extra "room" for us in the summer . We all enjoyed it, but my father, especially, liked sitting there and visiting with the neighbors as they passed by or stopped for . a chat . How times have changed! From some blinds which we found stored in the attic, I am led to believe that the house originally had small windows. However, the existing large windows were in place when we moved there. Various structural changes were made by my parents through the years that followed. Doors and walls were added here, taken away there. A bedroom off the dining room was incorporated into the parlor, and this alcove we call the "music room." The old -fashioned large kitchen was divided, to form an efficient galley kitchen and a generous breakfast room. A woodshed attached to the rear of the house became the present enclosed back porch . A basement was dug under the main part of the house, to supplement the original Michigan cellar. Heat was originally furnished by a base burner in the East Room and by the kitchen range. Registers in the downstairs ceilings carried heat to the bedrooms above . The parlor was little used in winter! 68 Howell had no sewer system when we moved there, and I remember being impressed, as a child, that a switch by the back door turned the light on in the outside "privy." When the sewers were installed, my father had a toilet put into the basement-a great comfort, especially in the winter! Later on, a full bath and half bath were added. I remember clearly, when they were digging for sewers in front of the house, of their digging up remains of the old plank road which ran from Detroit to Lansing. In the early days of our residence, we had four kinds of fruit growing in the yard-a very large cherry tree, a fairly large pear tree, a quince bush, and the same grape vine that still climbs the trellis by the side porch. There were also lilacs and spirea bushes and roses . I have many happy memories of our days in this home . My sisters Katherine and Helen were born there . Fortunately, each of us had plenty of playmates our own ages in the neighborhood. And my brother Edmund and I had a team of Shetland ponies that won us a first prize one Fourth of July, also prizes at the first Livingston County Fair . JOSEPH V. BRADY Wooden Classic Howell has one of only a handful of rare wooden Classic Greek Revival homes left, in the state of Michigan . Crandall Realty and the home of L. Harold Crandall , at 322 East Grand River , is a historical landmark . Greek Revival architecture was used sparingly, in Michigan, before the Civil War . Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing the style to America. About the time of the Revolutionary War, the home owners in the East popularized the style for residential housing . Soon after our pioneers moved here , the style filtered into our area as it became settled. Almon Whipple was a postmaster for Howell, for six years . In 1848 he had this home built for him and his wife, Mary. There has been only four owners of the home since then and the home's exterior remains virtually the same . Zinas and Sarah Crossman owned the home from 1864 to 1908. One hundred years ago, they had decorative glazed art tile added to surround the fireplace openings. Carved cherry fireplace mantels were added in the living and dining rooms. The clear glass surrounding the front door was replaced with beautiful colored glass which is still there. Dr. Jeannette Brigham, a practicing physician, bought the home from the Crossman estate in 1908. She owned the home for thirty years. The Detroit Edison Company, owned the property for a short time, before selling the property to Mr . Crandall in 1943. In recent years, Mr. Crandall, his business partner, son-in -law Harry Griffith, and daughter Mary , have purchased the corner lot next to the house which was the original Whipple lot . With the help of grandchildren Scott and Carol Griffith, the now vacant lot has been developed into a parking garden in hopes to preserve the character of a lovely Greek Revival structure. Mary Griffith j Milford Home The Harvey Milford home at 218 South Walnut has a history that dates back at least 117 years . In 1835 Alex Fraser, father of Mrs. John D. Pinckney sold land to David Wetmore and Edward Brooks and they proceeded to plat the 120 acres into the village . A man named Andrews is believed to have built the Milford home . Andrews was a shrewd business man ; he owned a hardware business with Edward B. Winans ; he carried a stock of carriages, buggies and farm equipment, and because he was so astute, he owned the marble shop and provided monuments whenever necessary . Schoeberlein Home The Greek Revival farm house at 1016 North Michigan Avenue has long been a landmark in Howell . It was built about 1840, and was known as the Bower farm for many years . Mrs . Esther Clark told me that as a young girl she walked to the house to buy m i lk each day from Mrs . Bower . Many people in the area did the same each day . The farm land surrounding the house extended back to what is now Bower Street , and occupied much of the McPherson Subdivision. My mother and father , Audrey and William "Percy " Richards , lived in this home their entire marr ied life , from 1937 until 1966. Many classmates from my sister Rosemary Earl's class of 1956, and my class of 1958 may recal: the many gatherings enjoyed in the home . I remember one night we were allowed to have thirty-six girls in for a pajama party. Mr . and Mrs . John Schoeberlein are now owners of the home , and have done extensive remode ling to beautify the old home. Ra i ny Richards Kirchhoff Stapleton House This is how the Stapleton home looked originally . It was built in 1852. The front porch has since been changed . The side entrance to the old k itchen has been removed and a rear entrance made . The outline of the old well still shows in the back yard. Mr . Stapleton in the earl y days also owned the lots to the west where the large cement block house and red brick house are located . Th is part of the property was the family "cow lot ." The home is located at 321 West Sibley Street and is the home of Marie Wenk. She has done remodeling to the interior also and it is still a very pleasant home . Phyllis Eu ler Rancour Crandall Home The Tracy F. Crandall home in the 1940s. 3792 Byron Road . Tracy F . Crandall and Ada E . Howe were married in 1907 and remained on Ada ' s childhood home after the death of her mother Adelpha Howe (Mrs . Eugene E .l Their ch i ldren were born and grew up here ; Helen E . now Mrs. Allred Vogel , Rhodora now Mrs . Lamar Wood , Eugene Merle , Tracy Ralph , and Alice Louise now Mrs. G . Howard Walter . Tracy and Ada became members of the Methodist Church at an early age which continued through their l ives . Tracy being interested i n civic and community affairs as well as farming held either a township or county office continuously through the years . Both Tracy and Ada were accustomed to farm life and accomplishing a full day of work before retir ing. In the late 1940s the farm was sold to son Tracy Ralph Crandall who had been operating the farm for some time previously. Tracy F . d ied of heart illness in 1952. In 1954 his w idow , Ada (Howe) Crandall built a house at 209 N . Court Street i n the city of Howell, where she lived comfortabl y for nineteen years . She is now l iving at Defiance , Ohio near her son -in-law and daughter, Mr . and Mrs . George Howard Walter . The son Tracy Ralph Crandall died very suddenly in 1964. Rhodora Wood 69 Rubert House The apartment house on the corner of South Court Street and Sibley Street is a portion of a hotel that was originally located on Grand River and South Court, where John Howell's service station is now located . This was formerly a hotel known as the "Rubert House ," built sometime in the late 1840's by William C. Shaft , who ran a line of stages between Howell and Detroit . The hotel changed hands from time to time. In 1860 it was purchased by Amos S. Adams, who ran the establishment as the "Adams House ." Adams was succeeded by Joseph H . Steel, who was followed by owner brothers, Cyrum and Handel Winship, and it was then known as the "Winship House ." Benjamin H. Rubert , who engaged in the hotel business in Novi purchased the property and moved in it , in 1867. He enlarged the building, adding a third story, and it was probably at this time that the addition known as the "big dining room" was made to the hotel. From 70 that time and as long as the building was occupied as a hotel , it was known as the "Rubert House ." Here Mr. and Mrs . Rubert lived and had a thriving and prosperous business. Their son Seth B. Rubert, continued to operate the business until 1907. By this time Seth Rubert had married Elizabeth Cummiskey, and had three daughters, Alta , Mary and Hazel. Alta later became the wife of William McPherson Spencer, and Hazel married L. Harold Crandall , all of Howell. Mary Rubert never married . After the Foskett Brothers of Byron sold to a Mr . Wilcox, he divided the house moving a portion to the place where it now stands as apartments. Mary Griffith Daughter of Harold and Hazel Crandall J :.--\( - ~".'. ,_.. ......

Howe home which they built on Byron Road, 4 mi. north of Howell, when they came to Michigan from New York in the late 1850s. The Howe Home By Rhodora (Crandall) Wood In October , 1856 my great grandparents Seymour E. and Phebe Ann Howe moved from Genesee County, New York with their family of five children to Livingston County, Michigan . They located in Howell Township, Sec. 15, three miles north of Howell on the Byron Road . The children : Alice C., Eugene E. , Mary Jane , Martha Ann, and Willie C. were very young at the time and the family found hardship and difficulties the first few years . Son George F . and daughter, Ida were born in Howell Township a few years later . However, as the children grew older and became very helpful the family began to enjoy a more prosperous life. The need of schools at this time was great. Seymour E . and Phebe Ann Howe gave the small piece of land from their propert y on the southeast corner as the site where the Howe School District No. 2 was built in the early 1860s. (Picture-- on page 133 in First Edition ). Some of the first school board members and teachers were : 1866/ 67-Enos W. Hill, Director and Clerk ; 1868/ 69-L. Barnhart , Director and Clerk ; 1870-Enos W. Hill, Director and Clerk ; 1866-Franklin Spring, Teacher-4 months- Summer School; 1866-Philander Bennett, Teacher-16 weeks-Winter School; 1967-Alice C. Howe, Teacher , Summer School; 1867-Andrew J . Whitaker , Teacher , Winter School; 1869-Mary E . Swits, Teacher , Summer School; 1869-Charles P . Graham, Teacher , 14 weeks-Winter School; 1870-L . W. Mills, Teacher , 12 weeks-Winter School; 1870-L . W. Mills, Teacher, 12 weeks-Winter School; 1870-Franc Wheeler, Teacher , 16 weeks-Summer School; 1866/ 67- Seymour E. Howe, Moderator of School Board ; 1868/ 69- Seymour E . Howe, Moderator of School Board . For more than eighty years the Howe School served the community on many occasions, such as : spelling bees, church and Sunday school services and township voting. In the 1950s the school building and fixtures were sold to Howell Public Schools. A few months later the building was purchased by a resident in the Howe School District , Arthur A. Macauley , who donated the building to Howell Township to be used for the purpose of voting as well as a community center for social gatherings. The Howell Township Clerk, Roy E . Latson and wife, Maxine have done an excellent job of supervising , which makes the old school in its present roll as Howell Township Hall the pleasant place that it is today . 71 Henry Whipple's Hotel located on the N.W. corner of S. Michigan and Sibley St. Mrs. Whipple was John Musson's sister, Ann Musson Whipple. ..._. ·~· »·,. Sabatos Home The Donald Sabatos home on E. Highland Road, Oceola Township, was built in 1849 by Mr . Joel Rumsey. The home is unique in that it was constructed primarily of cobblestones laid in measured rows, an art which flourished between 1825 and the Civil War. Although a second story and a wing have been added to the original 'five rooms and upper loft, the main stonework remains intact and one wall now 72 enhances the interior decor . This is one of but a handful of such homes in Michigan and it is registered with The Cobblestone Society "dedicated to the Preservation of Cobblestone Architecture in America." Donald E.

The Ann Arbor Railroad By Bob Wilhelm Research and interviews : Jeff Shaffer, Jim Sinclair, Fred Burike, Bob Wilhelm. Special thanks to the crews and dispatchers, past and present, whose reminiscents made this report possible. Recovering from the Panic of 1893, the Ann Arbor Railroad emerged from bankruptcy . From 1900 to 1925 prosperity reigned. The financial problems of the 1890's were headed by the high start up costs of the carferry operations. Being the first on the lakes there was much room for mistake. After 1900t he Lake Michigan operations became profitable. Poor public relations , questionable cost-cutting construction methods, and suspicions created during the Ashley regime added to the problems. During this twenty-five years of prosperity, the independent railroad provided good service . The people along the right of way had confidence. On May 19, 1925 the Wabash Railroad purchased the stock of the Ann Arbor. The sale was made because it would be easier to raise money for improvements if owned by a larger railroad . Under Wabash control the railroad would have a better balanced traffic pattern . The Ann Arbor preserved its corporate identity, but the route was managed from the Wabash corporate headquarters in Saint Louis. The Great Depression was not good to American railroads . Both the Wabash and the Ann Arbor declared bankruptcy . The roads were reorganized and once again became profitable just before the outbreak of World War II. The demands of transportation were hard on the railroads . It was during this period that the Ann Arbor purchased its first diesel, a small Whitcomb diesel. This one-man locomotive was stationed in Owosso, but did switching at various points on the route . Two more Alco-GE switchers were purchased to ease the war demands . By 19457 5 percent of the switching was performed by diesels. Most of the heavy tonnage was hauled by eight and tendriver steam locomotives. With shifting demands for motive power, equipment from many railroads made appearances on the Ann Arbor. Motive power was shifted away from the Ann Arbor. Four ten-drivered locomotives were sold to the Kansas City Southern in 1942. With the purchase of 14 Alco road engines, dieselization of the Ann Arbor was completed in December , 1950. These locomotives were selected because of their ability to pull 83 A steam locomotive on the run between Fowlerville and Howell in the 40's. heavy loads at low to medium speeds . Many of the crews preferred these locomotives to the newer GP 35's which were purchased in 1964. With dieselization the average tonnage per train increased 15 percent and speed increased an average of eight percent. With total dieselization, all Ann Arbor steam power was scrapped . In recent years there has been an increasing interest in collecting railroad memorabilia such as lanterns and switches. There is little available from the earlier days of the Ann Arbor. Much of the collectibles were second hand and had the markings of the Wabash or the Detroit, Toledo, and Ironton. Equipment purchased new by the Ann Arbor was not marked with the "AA" symbol. In 1963 the Wabash was merged with the Norfolk and Western under a fifty year lease agreement. The N&W wanted no part of the Ann Arbor so the railroad was "pushed off" on the Detroit , Toledo, and Ironton. The early days of DT&I management appeared favorable to the future . The carferries were rebuilt and modernized, heavier rail was installed where needed, and new second generation diesels were pucrhased . There were problems with the new locomotives. The trucks ("w heels") were second hand, taken from the Alcos. According to crews this caused a much rougher ride than normal. At a cost savings of $1000p er unit, the 2500h .p. units were not equipped with a dynamic braking system. The 84 dynamic brakes would have made the negotiations of the steep hills much easier . During the early years of DT&I management, locomotives from many railroads were regularly seen: Baltimore and Ohio, Lake Superior and Ishpeming, Lehigh Valley, the Soo Line among others . In the later 1960's the Ann Arbor GP 35's were substituted for DT&I GP 38's (2000 h.p. units with dynamic brakes). In 1972 the GP 35's were returned because of the possible abandonment of the Ann Arbor. One of the locomotives, No. 385, was wrecked by the DT&I. It was rebuilt and upgraded by General Motors Electro Motive Division. This locomotive is the most modern on the route and the only one without "we have the connections" emblem . The early good intentions of the DT&I disintegrated in the late 60's and early 70's. The property was allowed to deteriorate. Major track work was neglected for several summers . Rough track, speed restrictions, and derailment resulted in poor employee morale. Since October, 1973t he Ann Arbor has been in receivership . The trustees ordered the repairing of some of the poorest track sections . Even though the speed dropped to an average 20 miles per hour the service improved . March 31, 1976t he Ann Arbor Railroad went out of business as a separate corporate entity . The track and equipment have been purchased by the state of Michigan. Operations of the Ann Arbor Railroad The Ann Arbor Railroad operates 292 miles of track from Toledo, Ohio to Elberta, Michigan on the east shore of Lake Michigan. Unlike most railroads, branch lines are very minimal. The one branch line to the Ford Motor Company in Saline is very profitable . The railroad hauls only freight . The last regularly scheduled passenger service ended in 1950. The railroad operates fifteen orange locomotives. Five of the locomotives are used primarily for switching operations . The ten road locomotives GP35s (GP means General Purpose ) numbers 385-394 operate on the mainline and perform switching chores . Operating between Toledo and Owosso each locomotive uses 300 to 325 gallons of diesel fuel. The cost in fuel for an idling locomotive is 45-50 gallons for twenty-four hours of operation . Each of the locomotives is equipped with a chart recorder to monitor the speed of the train . The Ann Arbor operates a fleet of seventeen road cabooses. Ten of the cabooses (Numbers 2830-283)9 were built in 1952b y the Wabash Railroad at their Decatur, Illinois shops. Five years later seven additional cabooses (Numbers 2840-284)6 were purchased from International Car Company. In October, 1974 the railroad operated 378 freight cars , two hundred of which were covered hoppers used in sand and cement service . The total in March, 1976 is fewer due to scrappings and cars destroyed in wrecks . An additional fleet of cars is used in maintenance of way service : track and roadbed repair and cleaning up wrecks. The Ann Arbor operates four trains: two northbound and two southbound. T-F 1 (Toledo-Frankfort ) operates from Toledo to Owosso and performs occasional switching chores. T-F 5 operates from Toledo to Elberta with a crew change in Owosso. The southbound trains F-T 2 (Frankfort to Toledo) operates straight through with only a stop for a change of crews in Owosso. Train T-F 6 does switching en route. A local train for switching, "Ann Arbor turn," works from Ann Arbor as far north as Bruce Products in Howell. In addition to its own trains the Ann Arbor operates about five coal trains a week from Toledo to Owosso using Penn Central locomotives and equipment. Originating at either the Sunny Hill Coal Company in southern Ohio or from Mingo Junction on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border the trains move an average of 100 cars per movement to Dow Chemical at Midland. The capacity of each car is 100 tons, but there is often less than a capacity tonnage. The total round trip cost per movement is about $45,000. The Ann Arbor's share is about $10,000. With reorganization , the coal trains stopped operating on the Ann Arbor April 1, 1976. The couplers on the unit trains are stronger than those on the regular trains. A normal coupler can't withstand the tremendous pressure caused by the weight when the train is slowed down. Despite the heavy weight couplers, a coupler knuckle broke near the rear of the train on March 6, 1976 blocking traffic on the east side of Howell for nearly an hour. The problem was solved by removing the coupler from the end of the caboose and placing it on the damaged car . The crew reaction to these coal drags is generally unfavorable . The bankrupt Penn Central does not properly maintain its locomotives resulting in constant breakdown of one or more of the units. An Ann Arbor unit is often placed on the front of the train to compensate for the inoperable unit. The hopper cars are plagued with derailments and coupler problems . A hopper car on the March 18, 1976 train bottomed out on Riddle Street. The hopper bottoms began to break open. Luckily the train was moving at a low speed, derailment was prevented. The offending car was removed and the train continued north. Many of the Penn Central cabooses are more comfortable than the Ann Arbor's. However, on this March 18 train the stove blew up spraying dirt and soot all over the interior. An Ann Arbor caboose was added to the end of the train for the comfort of the conductor. These day-to-day operations of the railroad are centered in Owosso. A key to the operations is the dispatcher who must keep watch on the train movements. He must know where the trains are and keep records . South of Ann Arbor there is no direct radio contact with the lines. Portable radio communications exist between the dispatcher, the engineer, and the conductor. The radios can be removed and worn on the back of the crew member while switching. The dispatcher must call crews and make crews available for upcoming trains . The crew of each train usually consists of four men : Engineer, two brakemen (or one brakeman and one fireman , although the fireman's position is being phased out), and one conductor. Occasionally the trains run with a three or five-man crew. The maximum crew time on board a train is twelve hours. If the train has not reached its destination in this time, the train is stopped until a new crew arrives . A recent Penn Central coal drag made it from Toledo with less than fifteen minutes to spare . To become an engineer it is necessary to pass both brakeman and engineer tests . The duties of the engineer are run the train , regulate speed, and maintain air pressure . With much automatic equipment on board , the job of the engineer is much easier than in the past. The brakeman backs up the engineer in case of disability and does switching. The caboose is the domain of the conductor. His job is to keep records and prepare written reports . He may also do switching. Loaded freight cars make money for the railroads. Northbound trains contain many empties . Loaded cars include loads of new cars (Fords, Mustangs, and Jeeps) and farm equipment. The coal drags also increase the revenues . The southbound trains provide great revenues. With the exception of the coal drags and empty auto carriers , most of the cars are loaded. On a typical southbound movement there is a great variety of cargos. Detroit and Mackinac hoppers carry limestone and alabaster from northeastern Michigan. Several mechanical refrigerators are loaded with Idaho potatoes destined for MacDonald's distribution plant in the Toledo area . There are loads of lumber from Canada and the northwest, paper goods from Wisconsin, and in season loads of Christmas trees. A major source of revenue are carloads of special foundry sand bound for Detroit, Flat Rock, and Cleveland. At the present time 3000 carloads are shipped each year from the Sargent Sand Company in Yuma (near Mesick in Wexford County). The ten year projection is for up to 10,000c arloads per year . The short base covered hoppers used to be at the end of the train. With the short wheel base the ride in the caboose was most uncomfortable. Today most of the sand cars are not at the end of the train-adding to the conductor's comfort . The railroad must further develop its northbound revenues and improve the service provided on both northbound and southbound routes . The future of the Ann Arbor is beginning to brighten. 85 An engineer in the cab of one of the old steam locomotives . A Trip through Livingston County with an Occasional Glimpse into the Past By Bob Wilhelm The original name , Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan is a most fitting name for today's Ann Arbor Railroad . All but one of the northbound trains originate in Toledo and slowly wind in a snake-like pattern through Livingston County and then northwesterly toward Owosso and terminating at Ferry Boat Landing in Elberta . Leaving Ann Arbor, the trains crawl up the long grade out of the Huron Valley. It is often too steep for the long, heavy tonnage trains to reach the summit of Osman Hill. The ten thousand ton coal trains regularl y must be broken in half and each section is brought to the top of the hill where 86 the two sections are coupled together and the movement is continued north toward Livingston County. Not all trains must be broken. Even the most heavy trains can make it to the top on occasion if all locomotives are functioning properly . On one Saturday in March a hundred car coal train couldn't make it to the top, so the engineer on a trailing train pushed his five locomotives to aid the original five locomotive train over the top of the summit. The trains move through Whitmore Lake and enter Livingston County. Moving at 25 miles per hour the trains no longer stop at Hamburg . The old siding has long been neglected and rusty . The old depot and the once thriving resort business at Lakeland is only a memory from the days when passengers came to the area in the summer. The speed limit is lowered to five miles per hour where the track crosses the recently abandoned Grand Trunk Western roadbed. The interchange "diamond" is scheduled to be abandoned during the 1976 summer and many of the problems will be eased . Wrecks have been a continuing problem over the years. Much of the area is swampy. This swampy condition was lessened when a line of covered hopper cars loaded with sand derailed and dumped its cargo into the swamp. The Penn Central coal cars have derailed on several occasions . A derailment may not always cause damage . Three boxcars loaded with new batteries from Owosso derailed. The seal locking the door was not broken and the cargo was not damaged. The cars were put on the track and delivered . When a derailment occurs the crew may not be immediately aware of pending disaster . Awareness usually occurs when the air hose breaks. One derailed car was dragged for more than a mile. When the boxcar hit a tree the air hose broke and the train was stopped. ' With the abandonment of the Grand Trunk track the thirty-one miles of right-of-way is causing a conflict behveen public and private rights . The state wants to develop this area for a recreational path for hiking, bicycling, and motorcycling . There is much opposition to this proposal. Typical opposition is expressed by the Waterloo Township Planning Commission, "Recreational land brings an influx of people who are totally irresponsible and dumps them on a township. Then the township has to provide police and fire protection and other services .. . for land that isn't on the tax rolls." With the possibilities of future track abandonments throughout the state , this dilemma could be often repeated . The track turns north and moves up the gradual grade towards the once thriving resort area at Chilson. The old two-story depot no longer used by the railroad is now a private residence. A water tower used during the steam era has disappeared. Southeast of the station area was a gravel pit which until abandoned in the early 1930's was a source of revenue . An asphalt plant in the area has also been abandoned . When Michigan entered statehood in 1837 it appeared that Chilson and the Crooked Lake area would play a major role in the development of the state . The plan was to build a canal across the southern portion of the lower peninsula. The route of the canal was to follow the Clinton River westward to Crooked Lake . Crooked Lake is a watershed , the source of streams eventually emptying into Lakes Michigan and Huron. A 25 mile canal was to be constructed southward to Dexter and join the Kalamazoo River . The canal was to cross the Cedar and Shiawassee River . Construction began at Mount Clemens and advanced a few miles, but the project was abandoned as railroads began to criss-cross the state . Around 1897 Laughton and Henderson, who operated a store , built a cottage on the north island. This "camp" ( camp meant the same as a cottage ) was one of the first in Livingston County. The "camp " was sold in 1903 to Howell blacksmith Carl Weimeister. On the property was a large frame-structured barnlike building. It had no interior finish and few windows. Bolts a~d bars we.re designed to frustrate break ins. On the roof shmiles was a single word "Nordica". Used for parties, the building was named for Lillian Nordica, a popular singer at the time . Young people came by horse drawn vehicles from Howell, Brighton , and other nearby settlements for a week of camping. Naturally, the young people had adult chaperones. Convenient rail service brought many "cam pers " from Toledo and Ann Arbor. Tenting and camping on the beach was very popularmainly on the west shore. In 1914N ordica was sold by Weimeister and was converted into a private residence. Today Chilson is basically a passing track on the Ann Arbor. Two tracks parallel for a mile. There are at least two passings here each week. A southbound train waiting for a northbound train often stops at Coon Lake Road. This is done so that the road at Chilson will not be blocked. Crews often patronize the Chilson store while waiting for the other train . The northbound track crossed the Chesapeake and Ohio interchange at Annpere. Until 1906, this interchange, the scene of many bloody brawls in the 1880's, was called Howell Junction . The switching tower is gone. Today the area is an interchange of cars between the Ann Arbor and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroads . Many boxcars from the Ford Motor Company's Saline plant are switched onto the C & 0 for delivery to the Detroit area . With the interchanging of cars it is possible for losses. A mechanical refrigerator car was switched from the Ann Arbor and disappeared . It was found after two years in the Chicago area . The present speed limit across the interchange is 10 miles per hour. The speed limit has been 25, but a November, 1975 derailment on the C & 0 necessitated the lowering of the speed limit. Auto carriers loaded with new 1976 automobiles derailed and tipped on their sides damaging the track of both routes. The railroad enters Howell over the viaduct constructed in 1938. Grand River Avenue goes under the bridge. The problem is flooding that has been caused after many rainfalls. Pumps were installed. In addition to draining the area of water, the pumps dried up many wells. New wells had to be drilled to soothe the bewilderment of the residents. The east-west track through Howell is in a deplorable state . The maximum safe speed is 10 miles per hour. Inching through the "tunnel" between Barnard Street and Michigan A venue, there is the constant danger of cave-ins. The maintenance crews have been propping up the walls over a period of time. During the late summer of 1975, the crews were placing metal supports into the ground and severed a water main . The railroad was unaware of the main , and the city didn't know its exact location. The main was repaired and the city marked its location. The restaurants on the east side of Howell are stopping points for many of the crews . When the train is long, the engineer moves through the town to let the conductor in the caboose get off, then the train is backed up so not to block traffic for a prolonged period . Many businesses are served in Howell. The siding paralleling Haggerty Lumber was built by the railroad for Purdy and Woodruff and leased for 99 years. Both lumber and coal were unloaded here. Over the years the railroad crews have developed many friendships along the right of way . Usually the friendships are a wave, but sometimes long-lasting friendships develop. Jeff Shaffer , a Howell teenager has developed friendships with the crews of the passing trains. For three years he has been delivering the Detroit Free Press . One afternoon while watching a train , Jeff threw a paper onto the caboose. On a later train, a brakeman came off the locomotive asking for a paper , and the tradition began . 87 An old Brush auto, photo taken about 1910. Today the trains slow to a crawl as they pass through Howell. If Jeff isn't around to personally make the delivery , there are papers in a delivery tube beside the track . In return the crews have given Jeff many pieces of railroad memorabilia including a switch stand and a five foot long trailer car formerl y used in maintenance of way service . Today, when a train approaches Howell, Jeff checks the trains for air leaks and hot boxes (smoking or odor on the wheel bearings ). If there is a problem he immediatel y calls the Owosso dispatcher on the WATS line and notifies them of the problem . Turning north on the west side of Howell the trains pass under the M-59 Bridge and move north toward Oak Grove. The depot at Oak Grove has been removed but the foundation survives on the east side of the track . When the depot was constructed the original builder was constantly drunk and had to be replaced . You could see where the new man started . The grain elevator is no longer used for train loading. The switch at the north end of the passing track has been removed. A short train can be brought into the passing siding from the south, but the train must back onto the mainline if used for passing . The siding can also be used for car storage . Panhandle Eastern has used the area for unloading pipelines. During 1974a nd 1975w ith the slowdown of auto sales there was a temporary surplus of boxcars. Many of these 86 foot cars were stored here . A continuing problem , especially in the fall and spring, is deer on the tracks. At night, the lights "spook" the deer and they stay on the track . When the crew has enough warning 88 the lights are turned off and the deer are scared away by noise of the approaching locomotive. The most northerly stop in the county is Cohoctah. A siding serves Lott's Elevator and chemical fertilizer plant. Leaving Livingston County the trains pass through Byron, Durand , and stop at Owosso for a crew change before continuing the trip to Lake Michigan. The Future of the Ann Arbor Railroad The state of Michigan has purchased the Ann Arbor Railroad . This purchase includes all facilities , tracks , locomotives, rolling stock, and car ferries . The transfer of ownership occurred April 1, 1976. The future is presented in the first phase of the Michigan Railroad Plan for the preservation of the Ann Arbor: 1. "Preserve the . . . Ann Arbor route as an integral operation from Toledo . .. to Wisconsin as a key corridor for a long-range system configuration ." 2. "Preserve, at least on an interim basis , all of the car ferr y operation-while service needs and alternatives are thoroughly analyzed for the long term ." 3. The state of Wisconsin has agreed to "share the federal subsidy and state matching funds required for the preservation of any necessary car ferr y operation ." Michigan has signed a contract with CONRAIL to operate the railroad for one year beginning April 1. At the end of the year the state will make an evaluation of the operations . If this is favorable, a new contract will be issued . If the evaluation is unfavorable a new operator will be sought, possibly the Grand Trunk Western or the Detroit A big school trip on the train to Detroit . 89 Toledo and Ironton . However, at this time neither railroad has shown an interest in the management. Many problems must be solved. The track on many sections must be improved or replaced . The ten year goal for track speeds if 60 miles per hour . Sections like the "tunnell " through Howell would operate at a reduced speed, but the track must be upgraded or replaced . One problem faced in the track rebuilding program is a shortage of new steel rail. Second hand rail may be available in the interim . One estimate is that with the backlog of orders, it may be 1978 before orders can be filled. During the next ten years there is a strong possibility that passenger train service will be resumed on the Ann Arbor and / or the Chesapeake and Ohio routes . With massive rail reorganization occurring throughout Michigan and attempts by railroads to abandon some of their least profitable routes, the state may purchase additional routes and incorporate them into the Ann Arbor. One of the most likely new routes is the purchase of 147 miles of C & 0 trackage running from Manistee through Traverse City Station Agent John D. Hamilton, station agent, at his desk in the Howell station of the Ann Arbor Railroad , January 1914. Standing is Mr . Wright. Notice the ragged green curtains, coal bucket, and the wall oil lamp . The room with the bay window looking out onto the tracks has been preserved by the Livingston County Historical Society . 90 north to Petoskey , interchanging with the Ann Arbor at Thompsonville. Trackage rights may also be acquired on the old Penn Central route from Owosso to Saginaw. The addition of this route might result in the resumption of the unit coal trains which stopped operating on the Ann Arbor, April 1. The present western terminus of the Ann Arbor is the ferry dock in Kewanee, Wisconsin where traffic is interchanged with the Green Bay and Western Railroad . The Burlington Northern Railroad is attempting to take over the G .B. & W. If this merger should occur it would fulfill a dream of nearly a centur y expressed by the Ashleys and the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad management to develop a direct route from the east to the west coast . Much of the future is still in the planning stage . The name Ann Arbor may disappear , but the railroad will survive . Customers , employees , and railfans can peer into the " crystal ball. " The future appears bright for an expanded route carrying increased tonnage. Utah Tour John D .

Inhabitants of isolated areas rc1ard the carrier as an invilluablc £ricnd, counselor and public servant , for his job goe s far beyond the mere Jdivcry of letters and sc-cd catalogs. And to "customers" in •hickly setllcd areas he is equall y a Godsend , for his co-operation extends from helping to pull a car from the ditch to filling in as witnes, at a wcddin1 .

Emma visitin1r at Indian Riv er . Dur111g &asoline rationin11 his service!. .ts a meSUi:e bearer and a shopp er were extremely valuable to national defense. Typical of Michi&an'1 1,135 rural carriers and an equal number of substitutes is Emmett Harris, of Howett, who has been on the job 31 years . Startin1r with a hors e and buggy, he has cov ered enough miles to constitute four trips around the world . He travels 70 miles a day to bring mail to 232 families. An excellent baritone, he often sings as he rolls along to the next mail box, heraldintt his approach by the booming chorus of " On the Road to Mandalay ." He sings in the Cath olic choir at Howell. ln his 31 years Harris has participated in many rural dramas. On countless occasions he has warned farmers their stock had broken fence and strayed into someone's corn. He has stopped runaways, put out brush fires, rescued picnickers from menacin& bulls and returned all sorts of articles lost from trucks or wag ons en route to town. One time hj5 attention was attracted by a small boy screaming bu iJe the roaJ. WaJkin& behind a nearby barn , he found the mother holclin1 up the child's youna;cr sister , whose foot had &ot caught in a cement block. Obta inin g a hammer and coJd chisel fro:n his car, Harris freed the captive: and then delivered the mail. "All rural carriers love their daily associations with the people they serve," he said.

Zemper Photography has probably been an art form in Howell for longer than any serious painters. A travelling itinerant photographer first came here before the Civil War, in 1858. He travelled in a horse and wagon, in which he lived and did his laboratory work, using the wet plate process . Normally he would start toward the South in the fall because he needed sunshine to take his outdoor pictures with the very slow emulsions of those days . An early September snowfall kept him here and when more snow came and winter set in, he decided he might as well sta y, because he couldn't get out anyway. Soon after , he sold the studio, which he had moved indoors, and the chain of fourteen photographers started which has become now to be called Zemper Studio. According to the records of the National Association, it is the oldest portrait Studio in the United States. Very likely it is the oldest in the world, but there is no way to prove that. Some of these photographers should be mentioned here . W. E . CLEAVE-Cleave was a small man with large talents . In addition to being a photographer of great talent, he was also a musician of good calibre , and a good artist in oils. I have some of the glass plate negatives that he exposed and were found by Mary Reed in the attic of her garage, 4th of July fireworks at Joe Harris' Diamond Dot. where they had been stored for almost 100 years . He painted his own backgrounds and had a good feeling for the fine points and aesthetics of photography . H. A. LUDWIG-Ludwig had the studio from the late teens to 1926, when he sold to C. J . Nelson. He was a good practicing photographer , but is better known for his work on a state level. He was one of the earliest members of the Michigan Society of Photographers , and its president. He also was the working figure in the starting of the Professional Photographers of Michigan, a statewide organization . He was state president of this group, making Howell the only city in Michigan to have two presidents of both groups from the same town. This happened when D. L. Zemper was president of the Society in 1970, after having been president of the State group in 1960. D. L. ZEMPER-Zemper bought the studio from C. J . Nelson in 1946a fter two years overseas as a photographer in World War II. During the 50's he was named top photographer in Michigan four times, on the state board of directors for seven years and made State President in 1960. In 1962 he was declared the best photographer in the Midwest. In 1966,h e was rated the best portrait photographer in the United States. Enough of this stuff, let's put the book to bed.

Howell Jackie Band Approximately 54 years ago the Howell Jackie Band were invited to accompany Howell Commandery Knights Templar to the State Conclave held in Detroit. After the parade the band attended one of the many theaters (which one I do not recall) downtown Detroit that evening and to their great surprise a picture came on the screen 1975 and as I 'look at this picture I recognize many who have Gladys (Knight) 118 The West Ward School & Park WEST WARD GRADE SCHOOL By Sarah J. Maycock In the fall of 1929 the enrollment for the Livingston County Normal was so large that more room was needed than could be provided at the Michigan Avenue School; so during the summer the West Ward school which had been vacant for several years was restored, so that the County Normal could occupy the two upper rooms, while the two lower rooms had children in grades similar to a rural school, where the enrolled students could do their practice teaching . This arrangement continued until the County Normal was disbanded, and the two grade teachers returned to the main building. After the County Normal was phased out at the West Ward School, the vacant school was rented for storage by a milking-machine company. In 1948 with the increased enrollment in the Howell schools the West Ward opened again to accommodate the first, second, third and fourth grades , using all four rooms. Grace Dibble taught first grade , Sarah Maycock, second grade, Joy Bigelow, third grade and Mertice Radkte fourth grade and later Shirley Gatesman, fourth grade. The custodians during the time the building was thus used were: Mr. Monroe, Mr. Weibreicht and Mr. Mann. This arrangement went on until the four new elementary buildings were completed in 1955, when the West Ward was vacant again. It was later dismantled and the lot made into a playground . WEST WARD SCHOOL AND PARK By Janet Rohrabacher Hugh Mann was custodian and crossing-guard at the West Ward School. The students learned as much from him as from the teachers. He taught them how to observe safety rules crossing the street and in traffic. He tolerated no fooling around in the roadway . He also taught them not to run on the neighbors' lawns and also not to litter either the schoolyard or the neighbor's yards with scrap paper . While he was strict , he was very well-liked by the children. Almost every noon-hour he could be observed sitting on the steps with a large group of children around him, while he was telling them stories or just visiting with them and showing his interest in their activities. In the fall of 1955, the school closed and the children all went to the four new grade schools built in Howell. Most of the West Ward students went to the Southwest School. The next year the building was razed, but first the school district sold the contents of the school for nominal sums . The school desks were sold for fifty-cents to two dollars apiece. The bricks from the old school were used to build the four brick homes on the north side of West Grand River near Burkhart Road, west of Howell. The neighborhood children continued to use the school yard for an impromptu baseball diamond in the summer. In the winter , the yard was flooded, and the area was crowded with skaters from the west side of Howell. The school district planned to sell this land for private or multiple dwelling use. This led to the formation of a West Ward Parents Association, whose goal was to save the park as a recreational area for both children and adults on the west side of Howell. On January 8, 1958 the City of Howell leased the land from the school district for use as a park. NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION By Mary Misslitz The West Ward School having served its purpose was torn down, but the playground sounds of "recess" lingered on. The neighborhood children stood with bewildered expressions one early spring day in 1956 as the West Ward school playground swings and slides were being uprooted and loaded onto trucks . In answer to their questions of "Why?", they were told the property was being sold. The city had been divided into four quarters and each area now had its elementary school and adjoining playground . However, for the group of youngsters who crossed Grand River to attend the Southwest School, the old West Ward playground served as an area gathering place for many children because a group of families cared enough to become involved and petitioned the school board not to sell the school playground property . The property was then leased to the City of Howell for a dollar a year, and the neighborhood group volunteered to maintain the playground . The West Ward neighborhood association consisted of several dozen families who met at first to round-up and install the playground equipment which had been removed. As the fathers dug holes, mixed cement and figured out how the swings and monkey-bars fitted together, mothers set the tables and brought out food for neighborhood picnics, as children raked twigs together to roast marshmallows . The comradery that developed as people worker together to provide a place for children to play led to several summers of neighborhood family get-togethers . Men pitched horseshoes several nights a week under lights they strung up between the tall trees, and women drank coffee and visited while children climbed the monkey-bars and took turns pushing each other on the merry-go-round. This all sounds reminiscent of family activity of a by-gone era , but it happened for a period of time just twenty years ago. WEST WARD PARK By Kenneth Richardson The Howell Jaycees took on a Community Pride Project of improving a neighborhood park on Spring Street and Byron Road. The goal of this project was to supply good, safe equipment and also to supply the community with a well designed park layout. The project was carried out in the following order: February, 1974-Ken Richardson and Ed Eaton met and decided on the safety and equipment needs. March, 1974-Ken Richardson and Ed Eaton held a design and layout meeting; contacted the equipment salesman for the cost of the playground equipment ; contacted D&J Gravel to donate the concrete; contacted Duane Meyer, of the City Parks and Cemetery Department , to remove the old equipment. April, 1974-Equipment was picked up. Ed Eaton attended the city council meeting for approval of the project. Ed also attended the school board meeting for their approval. April 27, 1974-Playground equipment and plantings were 119 installed . Larry Scott was in charge of the plantings, twenty members helped install the equipment. July , 1974-Picnic tables were installed by Duane Meyer and staff , completing the park . Total cost of park, $1,570.00. CARE OF THE PARK By Maude Phillips About 1970 the City of Howell secured the services of Ernest Phillips as care-taker for the West Ward School Park. Phillips was well-known for the care he gave to his own lawn and flowers and vegetable garden. For three years he took complete care of the park for a small fee. He pruned shrubs and weeded flowers, raked and mowed whenever it was needed. The park has never looked so good as when cared for by Phillips and he took great pride in the looks of the park . He died August 30, 1973.H e had worked forty-seven years for the Holkins Lumber Company, under four generations of this family . He was a prominent Mason and office holder in the lodge for years. The Alma Young Home The residence of Mr. and Mrs . Herbert F. Schott, 216 Higgins T ., Howell, was built by John Galloway who came to Howell in 1844. He and Nathan Hickey formed a partnership and operated a foundry known as the Hickey & Galloway Foundry . It was located on the west side of Michigan Ave., just north of the Ann Arbor railroad tracks . He built this house the following year with bricks hauled from Detroit. It was one of the first brick houses built in Howell and the external walls and some of the inside walls are of solid brick construction . John Galloway was a man of som importance in the early history of Howell and Livingston County . He was a member of the Board of Directors when the first railroad, the Detroit to Howell, was built. He was elected to the Senate in 1860, when the first Republican Governor, Kingsley S. Bingham, was in office . Galloway is known to have lived in this house until his death in 1890. The Galloways had one son, Durfee, who married Elizabeth McMichael. Durfee was the first graduate of Howell High School in 1869. A scholarship in his name to the University of Michigan was presented to the school and is still in existance . Durfee lived here until his death in the late 1920's. Mrs . Galloway continued to live here until her death several years later. The home was the center of much hospitality and was an outstanding showplace of the early town. After the death of Durfee Galloway, the west part of the lower floor was rented to various young couples. Among those who lived there for a short time was R . B. McPherson and his wife, Eva Hickey McPherson. It was during this time their son, Robert H. McPherson, was born. About 1935, the house was sold to Dr . J. Stevens, who constructed an addition to the rear of the building facing Court St. for his medical offices. Most of the above information came from the notes of the late Mrs. Bernard Glenn, long-time resident of Livingston County. Mr. and Mrs . Schott purchased this home in April of 1946, and have occupied it continuously since then. There are three children, John Frederick, Susan Lee and Robert Alexander.

I 1 1 ., 1 t Bruce Products about 1928. Howell Industry Bruce Products Corp. In 1917A .J . Bruce decided there were greater advantages in producing one's own products. Therefore, using a few garden tools from home he started to manufacture a line of metal cleaners . Mr. Bruce had left his father's farm and moved to Indianapolis after graduating from high school. He supported himself as a streetcar conductor while attending business school at night . After trying some other occupations , he became a successful salesman for a Chicago firm in their Michigan territory. It was then that he became interested in manufacturing. Following a partnership of short duration, Bruce Products was established in 1919 and incorporated in 1920. Soon after , a line of buffing and polishing wheels were added , which were followed by the development of a complete line of buffing and polishing compositions . Over the years the manufacture of products has been expanded to cover the needs of those companies working with all metals and plastic . In addition to the finishing materials there is a full range of lubricants for machining, grinding, stamping , dra wing and die casting , as well as specialty products , which have been developed in the Bruce laboratory . The Bruce Products Corporation has long been recognized as one of the leaders in its field throughout history in the United States , as well as shipping direct to many foreign countries . When the second location in Detroit was outgrown in its early years , it became necessary for Bruce Products to obtain manufacturing facilities which would furnish the space needed for continued growth. In 1926 the Borden plant 138 at West and Factory Streets, in the northwest area of the city of Howell, Michigan , was purchased . The manufacturing and laboratory facilities were moved to Howell, while the main offices and a warehouse were located in the Twelfth Street Terminal Building in Detroit . In 1947 the offices were also moved to Howell. On Februar y 28, 1942, the plant was almost completel y destro yed by fire . In a front page article in the December 2, 1942 issue of the Livingston County Press , reporting on the nearl y completed new building, A.J. Bruce , President , was quoted, " ... for a time following the fire , the obstacles to rebuilding seemed insurmountable , but the cooperation of the Howell business people gave the Corporation encouragement to make such plans ." One of the major problems was the extreme shortage of all building materials because of the war . In December 1946, A.J. Bruce , founder , died (1890-194)6. His son, S.H. Bruce , was elected President in July 1962, and his grandson , C.D. Bruce, was promoted to Plant Superintendent in February 1975. In this Bicentennial Year the Bruce Products Corporation salutes the community of Howell. Chem-Trend Inc. An interest in plastics , and the unsolved problems of releasing these materials from molds, sparked the beginning of Chem-Trend in 1959. When he got his first customer, Peer Lorentzen formed the humble beginning of Chem-Trend . The first "plant" was located in a garage in Howell. Since the garage was in a residential area, he was soon asked to move; and for the next few years, the company's quarters were in Brighton. The company's insistence on excellence and continuing research into product development and improvement soon brought the second customer ... and Chem-Trend had started its growth. In 1963, a plant comprised of 6,000 square feet was built in Howell. This plant was expanded in 1964, in 1965, in 1968, in 1970,i n 1973,a nd again in 1976t o the 55,000s quare feet it now occupies. The product line over the course of these years has been expanded to include casting lubricants, quenching compounds, plunger lubricants, mold release agents, fireresistant hydraulic fluids, and most recently, concrete mold release agents. Chem-Trend now has three operating sales divisions known as : Die Cast Industry Products Division, Mold Release Division and New Ventures Division. The Die Cast Industry Products Division supplies die casting lubricants, quenching compounds, plunger lubricants, and hydraulic fluids to the die casting industry. The Mold Releane Division sells mold release agents to the urethane industry for use with flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid foam applications. The New Ventures Division is responsible for developing new opportunities to provide future growth and expansion. Chem-Trend has established its own overseas affiliate, known as Chem-Trend International, to provide overseas customers with the necessary products and service. Although Chem-Tren<i's employees (35 in Howell) enjoy a small-knit production force and a local setting, they have the added satisfaction of knowing their efforts result in worldwide business, sales, and success. Diamond Tibon Plating Co. Diamond Tibon Plating Company, known as Diamond Chrome Plating Inc. until February 1974, started up in January 1954a t604 S. Michigan Avenue, Howell and has been growing at that location ever since. The product, hard chrome plating, is an industrial coating applied primarily to aircraft, hydraulic, machine tool and engine components. Diamond Tibon Chrome Plating. Operations commenced in 1954 under Manager, John C. Beatty, and Superintendent, Noel VanHoff, both from the parent company in Connecticut. The original 7500 square ft. building was purchased from Robert Menzies. It was built in 1937w ith an addition in 1941a nd prior to 1954s aw service as a foundry, auto body shop, county garage and tractor dealership. It was more room than was needed and some thought was given to leasing out space. Business came slowly. The initial account which prompted the move to Howell never materialized. Fortunately quality work and good service prevailed and things improved. Employees went from three to eight in the first year. Soon Charles E. Cain joined the company as salesman to assist John Beatty . By 1960t here were 15 employees and equipment had filled the whole building. 1964s aw the start of plant expansion. First was a new office followed by acquisition in May 1965 of the adjoining property from blacksmith David Jones. Steel building additions were made in 1966, 1968 and 1973. Adjacent property on Walnut Street was purchased in 1974 for possible future use as parking space. The plant area is now over 35,000 square feet. John C. Beatty retired as manager in 1974. His son, John C. Beatty, III is now manager. Ronald R. Sharpe is now Plant Superintendent and Charles E. Cain continues as Sales Manager . Total employment has risen over the years from 42 in 1965t o 51 in 1970-75a nd will continue to grow. Company trucks now service southern Michigan from Port Huron to Kalamazoo and other business comes in from Canada to Florida.

By Harold Corser and Cindy Jonckheere D and J Gravel, Inc. sits on 100 acres of land bordered by Mason Rd. and Dieterle Rd. in Howell Township. Beginning in 1924, this land, called "The Loree Hill" was farmed by Eugene (Gene) Loree who bought the farm from his mother. After about four years of hog farming "The Depression" hit and Gene continued farming and working at the Howell Motors. Approaching retirement in 1945, Gene began selling gravel from the pit on his farm with only a dump truck and a "barber-green" excavator . Previously gravel had been hauled from the gravel pit by farmers for the surrounding townships with a team of horses and a wagon. This was a means for local farmers to pay their property taxes to their township. By early 1950 business was booming. Gene's son-in-law, Clayton Damman then bought into the business under a partnership agreement. At that time gravel was loaded by means of a tractor with a front-loader . Soon a gravel wash plant , a crusher and a triple-deck screen were purchased to increase production and efficiency. In the summer of 1950 Gene Loree suffered a stroke. This was to precede a change for the future of Loree and Dammon Gravel Co. Because of his health, Gene decided to sell his interest in the company . In Nov. of 1950 August P. Jonckheere, full-time farmer, bought into a partnership with Clayton Damman, his former country schoolmate. This was the beginning of D. (Dammon) and J . (Jonckheere ) Gravel. Under the new partnership part-time help was hired. Lauren Reddinger worked afternoons after delivering milk . He learned to operate a new war surplus P&H crane. In March of 1953, Harold Corser was hired as D&J Gravel 's first full time employee. In July of the same year the company diversified into the ready-mixed concrete business with a 139 used 1951F ord mix truck and a brand new Reo truck with a Yager mixer. In September of 1953, Bernard Kourt was employed full time for the company. Both Harold Corser and Bernard Kourt are still employed full time for D&J Gravel Co. today. The business was growing. As sales increased , so did the need for new machinery. A Sourman hoist was purchased to haul gravel up to the plant. Later a more efficient method was developed which pumped gravel to the plant. David and Alan Jonckheere and Richard and Ron Damman, sons of the owners, worked summers on both the hoist and the crane. Steady growth continued for the company through the 1950's and 1960's. In 1961, the employees were organized by the Teamsters Union. In 1971, Clayton Damman was ready to sell his interest in the company for retirement plans . August Jonckheere and his son, David , each bought half of Clayton's share in D&J Gravel. In 1972, the company incorporated . After college graduation , Lauren Jonckheere joined the business with his father and brother in 1973. In September of 1974, August H. Jonckheere passed away at the age of 57, leaving a growing business, which he had helped operate and expand for 24 years . Today, two of his sons, David and Lauren , own and operate the business with 21 persons on the payroll. Presently 19 licensed vehicles deliver approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material removed from "The Loree Hill" annually . Royalties are paid monthly for this yardage to the Loree family. D&J Gravel Co. has recently diversified into the sale of septic tanks, concrete blocks, and building supplies . The company continues to grow and expand with Livingston County. Howell Construction The fore-runner of Howell Construction Co., Inc. ; Lake Construction Co., Inc ., was originally incorporated in 1948. An asphalt paving contractor , the plant and office was located on a railroad siding in Chilson. Five years later the plant was moved extensively within the state including , Allegan, Willow Run Airport, Genesee, Lenawee and Oakland counties. Ultimately the plant settled in 1961 at the present location on Mason Road. The office was located in Whitmore Lake across from Hoover Chemical on Eight Mile Road . Howell Construction Co., Inc. was formed in 1951 for the purpose of buying equipment needed to pave roads , parking lots, tennis courts and subdivisions. Lake and Howell became a common name around the Livingston County area. Eventually Lake Construction moved much of its equipment to northern lower Michigan to enable Lake and Howell to cover a wider area of service . The two companies were formally separated in 1972. The office of Howell Construction Co., Inc. was relocated on Grand River , Howell, Mich. in 1969 and , continues to do business from this location at the present time . May & Scofield, Inc. May & Scofield was founded in 1934b y Harold W. Scofield, Sr. and Roy May of Detroit. The company manufactured hardware for the casket manufacturers and was located in the building formerly occupied by the Brannon Appliance Company. This building was purchased for $2,500 and was 100x40 square feet , however , only about one third of it was actually used in the beginning by May & Scofield. They initially employed three people-Harold W. Scofield, Sr ., Harry Fisher and Harold W. Scofield, Jr. 140 Harry Fisher started with the company soon after it was established, and during his time with the company he and Harold Scofield, Sr. developed the Christmas Tree Light Clip. These eventually became a part of every set of Christmas lights-known as the "bubb le light"-sold by Noma Lites nationally . Over the years, over 100 million were manufactured. The success of the Treelite Clip was instrumental in establishing the foundation of May & Scofield. Harry Fisher went on to establish his own Fisher Tool & Die Company in Howell. In 1948R oy May's interest in the company was purchased by Harold W. Scofield, Sr. and Harold Scofield, Jr . and the company then became a family owned partnership . William B. Scofield joined the partnership in 1949. Harold W. Scofield, Sr. passed on in 1963 at the age of 74. In the late 40's the company began to supply the automotive industry with metal stampings. In the 1960's the company started manufacturing mechanical and electromechanical assemblies for the automotive industry -as it does today. In 1968 the company was incorporated with Harold W. Scofield, Jr. as its first President. It has grown over the years to its present employment of approximately 100 people. With Harold Scofield, Jr .'s retirement in 1974, William R. (Rick) Scofield, the son of William B. became active in the business. In its 42 years , three generations of the family have been involved in the running of the business . R & D Screw Products The R&D Screw Products Company is a manufacturer of high quality screw machine parts. The company was formed in 1944 by Norm Dymond and Carl Rogers. They occupied a building at 110 South Michigan Avenue at that time . The building has since been torn down. During the war years R&D made parts for bomb fuses and aircraft engines . In 1945 they contracted Clarence Geheringer to build the plant at 810 South Fowler Street in which they are now located. In 1946, upon returning from the service , William Dymond purchased the interest of Carl Rogers and the two brothers have operated the business together for the past thirty years . The company presently manufactures precision parts for several industries including auto , aircraft, computer , plumbing , and many more. R & D Screw Products Company. J L - PLASTIC TOOL COMPANY Unified's Plastic Tool plant. Unified Industries, Inc. This Bicentennial year marks the 25th year of Unified Industries ' service to America 's most vital industries . Unified Industries was incorporated in Eaton Rapids, Michigan in 1951 when its primary business was the construction of tools for the aircraft industry. The company moved to Howell in 1953 to obtain expanded building space and a more favorable location from which to serve its customers . In 1955, when the aircraft industry was decentralized from the midwest and concentrated on the west coast , Unified Industries incorporated the subsidiary of Plastic Tool Company of America and made the conversion to tool building for the automotive industry. The company has continued to serve the auto industry since that time and has expanded its physical facilities in Howell to meet the changing complexion of the American auto industry. In 1972 new government standards regulating auto emission controls required the increased attention of the auto industry to meeting those standards and consequently less attention to automobile design changes. Adapting to this shift , Unified Industries began increased development of its patented trolley-a product used in an overhead conveyance system . Trolley production had previously been a sideline in the overall operation of the company . In the past four years the trolley trade has grown to represent 65 percent of Unified Industries ' gross annual sales and the market continues to grow. 141 8th Grade-1910 8th grade 1910, Leona Morton teacher .

Andreanopoulos, Pastor The Church of God is seeking to lead in developing better communication that will result in understanding. We believe, whether it be an individual, family , community , or any level, the final result will be closer ties and security . We are attempting to provide an environment where individuals can come to know themselves without fear of criticism: An environment where individual growth is encouraged. In these conditions their needs can better be met by their lives being transformed according to the plan of God and not by people conforming to any given life-style. We believe, as individual needs are met , people will be stronger and more capable of serving others. The Church of God is seeking to change our community, not by social reforms nor by dictation of do's or don'ts . We are seeking to witness with our lives the more abundant life through the discipline of a Christ-centered life to be both creative and positive . We are seeking to lead people in regular worship to celebrate the Living God: The Living God that loves each of us enough that He has a special plan for each of our lives and is seeking to guide us in it. The Wright's Corner's Church of God is seeking to meet the challenge of 1976 in the age-old method of seeking God's will and the only thing that is new is that we are just trying harder to do it better. The Salvation Army By Captain Jerry Sword The Salvation Army has been in existence for 109 years and in operation in Howell, Michigan since 1892. Through the years The Salvation Army , as well as other "long term " organizations , have undergone some real deep " trouble waters ;" however , 1976, like many other difficult years , such as the Depression in the 30's, will go on record of being a mighty challenging time to be here and in which to work. God has raised up " The Army " through all kind::; of circumstances and yet , made it through. We are living in the era of time when we see the destruction of America , but we ought not be alarmed at these happenings because God has said in His Word these things would come to pass in the last days. The Salvation Army has been known to help people through emerg ency basis and in very difficult times . This Bicentennial year of 1976, The Salvation Army is planning to help in the same way as in the past. The Army's Slogan for 1976 is "Share Your Faith. " By shar ing the faith God has given us, might mean that more people will have the opportunity to know more about the Lord Je sus Christ and the salvation He has to offer to the whosoever. In conclusion, The Salvation Army is looking forward to working in 1976w ith the great challenge we face to spread the Gospel. By Richard F. Hennig, Interim Pastor Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is a relative!~ new church in the Howell community . Although the church is new to this area, it is affiliated with a long standing Lu~er~n body, the Wisconsin Evangelical Luthe~an S_ynod,w hich m this Bi-Centennial year is celebratmg its own 125th Anniversary. . How Prince of Peace faces the challenge of 1976m ight well be summed up in the anniversary theme of its parent b<>?Y " Grace ." By God's grace we are in the How~ll co~mumty and by His grace we will continue to proclaim His Word. Although the challenges placed before the church in ~976 are different in scope than those of 1776, they are essentially the same in effect. Man must still be reminded of his sin and comforted by means of Christ's Gospel. We at Prince of Peace shall face the challenge of 1976 by pledging continued faithfulness in the proclamation of God's Holy Word. .... 147 This picture of the Baptist Brotherhood was taken about 1924 while C.

We especially plan to concentrate on a ministry to youth because of the tremendous peer pressure brought on today's youth, and upon a ministry with the aged and aging because this will be an ever-increasing group of our population.

Sutton The Bicentennial observances of 1976 will stand out as some of the most memorable of this century. However, we must think beyond the present moment in history to the third century of our national existence. What will it mean for the churches? What will it mean for our church here in Howell? We look forward to serving the ever-increasing community as we expand our own resources . People are in constant need of spiritual guidance and a deepening faith. We hope to continue serving and helping people in this area of need. Our facilities are excellent. Our people are inspired and enthusiastic. We look forward to another century of sharing God's love through the church. The above photo shows part of those who participated in a Colonial Worship Service, Feb. 29, 1976. Church of the Nazarene By Rev. Ronald C. Ketchum The Church of the Nazarene is a composite of personalities united under the lordship of Jesus Christ. The Church faces the challenges of 1976 only as each individual member faces the challenges personally. We are united in the belief that though times change, our responsibilities to God as our Creator and Savior remain unchanging . The way to better society and change the direction of the world toward peace is not to legislate more laws, but to internalize the laws of God within man. Any man who obeys God's laws and lives a Christ-like life is an asset to his community and a positive force for good in the world. Individually and united, the members of the Church of the Nazarene faces the problems and opportunities of the future with courage and the conviction that "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray , and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways ; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Henry Stamper Jr. As our great country comes to its Bicentennial Birthday , never was the challenge so great to the church world and to the Christian as it is today. The Christian once again is becoming inspired to take his rightful place in the body of Christ and reach out a helping hand to a world with many problems and that is in great distress . Our church people are greatly inspired to help perserve our great country and our religious freedoms and to go forth and fulfill the great commission of the Lord Jesus Christ. As stated in Gospel of St. Mark, Chapter 16, Verses 15-18f or we realize that any nation's future depends on how they honor God. Our nation was founded upon God's Holy Word and there is a great need to return back into that close fellowship with our Heavenly Father for Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrew 13-8. Picture of church in action-water baptism by immersion taken in Jan . 1976. I West Marion Methodist Church WEST MARION METHODIST CHURCH The West Marion Church in Marion Township was first organized as a Methodist Protestant Church. The congregat ion met in homes and the school house until in 1884 when, Augustus Purdy deeded the land on the N .E . corner of Pingree and Coon Lake Roads and a building was erected . There were eleven charter members. In 1891 the membership had grown to 72. That year a Sunday school was started and a ladies aid was formed . In the early years the church was on a circuit with the Fleming Church at six corners, the Lake and Thayer congregations . Later in 1903, it changed to the Livingston Circuit with Plainfield and Parkers Corners Churches . With the merger of the Methodist churches it was not a Methodist Protestant church any longer. During these years there was an active ladies aid and the West Marion group became famous for their homemade ice cream socials in the summer , the harvest suppers in the fall and their New Years dinners . The specialty at the New Years dinners were the casseroles of escalloped oysters. In 1940 the aid changed to the Womans Society of Christian Service and joined with churches in the Detroit Conference, Ann Arbor district, in the missionary work . The church building was destroyed by fire in March of 1958. The congregation met for a year at the Marion Town Hall until in 1959 they merged with the Green and Parkers Corners Churches to form the Trinity Methodist Church . In 1960 ground was broken at the corner of Iosco and Bull Run Roads and a new church built . Many willing hands from the three churches helped to erect the building. This is now the Trinity United Methodist Church on the circuit with Plainfield . There is an active womens group, a growing church school that meets Saturday mornings every two weeks, and an active U.M.Y.F . group meets. A parsonage has recently been built on land just West of Trinity Church which serves both churches . Rev . and Mrs . Jerome Smith are the present occupants of the parsonage. Mrs. Harold J.

The Ed Pearce home, later known as the John Staley home--1902- presently owned by Gregory Luberman . Oakgrove, 1895-1911 By Zelma Davenport My family moved to Oak Grove when I was two years old. My father rented a log house from Will Slider. Farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Allen. About three years later we moved to the house across from the parsonage . Rent was $4.00 a month . A big swing was put up on the large limb. Adults and children enjoyed alike . The town had two general stores. George Woods and Edd Pearce . The Pearce store is still active. The saw mill was owned by Tom and John Pearce and was one of the means of employment The grist mill owned by Art Pearce was burned down with three other buildings about 1906. It was rebuilt and operated by George Switcher . The hotel was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bird Ellis. They also had the livery barn. The hotel burned in 1967. The blacksmith shop was operated by Bert and Will Conine. After school would stop and watch them shoe the horses . Mr. Kenny operated the elevator . Besides the farmers benefiting from it many of us earned our spending money here by picking beans . The beans were on a rotating belt and we picked the bad beans from the good ones. Our doctor was Dr. Erwin who made all his calls with his horse carriage . His office was in his house. My first day of school was Sept. 1898. Edith Hotelling was the teacher . We learned our 3R's in the Oak Grove High School. There were two rooms. The small room on the back had the grades up to the sixth. The large room the grades up to the eleventh . The teachers were Harry Durfee , Roy Lannen and Edmond Conklin. In the small room, Edith Durfee, Edith Hosley, Erwin and Leola Statey . If we were disciplined at school and complained about it at home we had no sympathy . Many of the farmers hauled logs in the winter to the saw mill. They hauled them on sleighs Dec., Jan. and Feb. had steady sleighing. They also put up ice for the summer . The ice was cut in blocks of 12 by 16 inches from the pond and put in ice houses (a small building) and packed between layers of saw dust from the saw mill. It usually lasted till late August. The ice was used for making ice cream on Sundays, the Fourth of July and the many ice cream socials not many home with an ice cream freezer . Transportation was by railroad , horse and carriage or cutter or walking. Edd Hotelling had the first auto about 1907. There was a gasoline motor coach on the Ann Arbor that stopped at the road crossin_g to discharge and pick up passengers . It was called "The Potato Bug," we would go to Howell on it to the roller rink on Sat. The Ladies Aid of the church gave a dinner once a month . The dinner was $.25, proceeds going to the church . The food was furnished by the church members . The dinners were always well attended . Oak Grove had a very good band . They gave concerts on Sat. nights. Mr. Isham was the band conductor . The huckleberr y swamp back of town gave us our berries for winter . It is state owned now. The Sears and Montgomery catalogs were an important way of shopping. The Catalogs gave us many pleasant hours. Weddings and funerals were held in the home. A wreath of flowers was placed on the door 153 Winter i n Oak Grove in early 1900's-house in background now owned by B. VanPatton, but at one time owned by S.

The swimming hole was in the creek below the grist mill. When the mill was running we would have to wait for the race to slow down. We did not have radio , TV, autos and not many phones, but it did not take long to get a crowd to gather for the many socials and birthday parties . In summer the chautaugua "Old Maids Tea Party" was one of the projects to raise money for the church . Mrs. Edd Pearce, Mrs. Staley, Mrs. Stodard, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Lamoreux, Mrs. Reader, Mrs. John Pearce, Mrs. 156 came with the big tent and an important way of shopping. Also the medicine shows and stock companies "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Ten Nights in a Bar Room" were favorites . In winter there were sleigh rides, plenty of buffalo robes and blankets to keep us warm . The singing , fun making and sleigh bells on the horses are pleasant memories. Bixby, Mrs. Rodgers, Mrs . Erwin, Edd Hotelling, Lee Pharis is the leader . There were no cars and not many phones . But it did not take long to get her fr iends together for a birthday party on Mrs . lshan .

For several years she worked two afternoons a week in the Howell Carnegie Library. She also was a member and an active worker in the Oak Grove Methodist Church and former member of Philip Livingston Chapter DAR. Grace Lannen helped to create an atmosphere of intellectual growth and understanding in whatever group she was associated with. Written by her dear friend , Carrie Howell AUTUMN'S EVIDENCE Ido not know how Love began For Dawn surpasses human ken, Nor can I comprehend the span Of Love, in age on age of men, But this I hold-Love blesses man. In countless ways, I see and know The evidence of Love's rare plan- Today, I saw the sumacs glow. -Grace Filkins Lannen MEMORIAL PRAYER (Written in memory of Anna Norquist Swanson, a former Lansing Poetry Club member) Lord of our lives, from whom we came And whence all must return , she heard Your whispered call and, like a bird With beauty answered, "Yea." Yet she Still lives for we can hear her song Poised on its pinions, soul aflame As goldenly, it rings along The sun drenched cliffs of memory . May that sweet song, 0 God, inspire Our earthbound flights to crags yet higher. -Grace Filkins Lannen FRIENDSHIP Friendship is a hallowed blossom, Shy and sweet. It roots itself into our hearts And is replete With fragrance, grace , and beauty . Like a soft caress, It touches all the soul-starved world With loveliness . -Grace Filkins Lannen Annabel Kellogg Van Winkle By (Mrs. Charles K.) Betty Barth Vanwinkle Annabel Kellogg VanWinkle lived almost her entire married life in Howell, Michigan. The early years were necessarily taken up with the care of a growing family of five children. However, her interests were many and varied, serving to bring enrichment to her home and family. Her father , Charles C. Kellogg, was assistant postmaster and postmaster of Detroit , Michigan for 38 years . During this time, he collected stamps, a hobby which she continued, and which she encouraged in her children. Through the D.A.R. she pursued her interest in history and geneology. She traced the geneological lives of not only her family , but also those of the VanWinkles, assembling the data for her children to know and share with their children. This interest in the past led to the careful preservation of family antiques, an additional bonus for her children and grandchildren. An outgoing person, she had an enduring interest in, and love of people. She belonged to several women's clubs of her time, and entertained frequently. A life-long devotion to her church reflected her constant trust in God and nature . She worked faithfully in her church, and as long as health permitted , in her garden . After her family was grown and gone, she joined the Lansing Poetry Club with various other women of Livingston County, enjoying a whole new outreach of association and expression. Much of her faith and compassion is reflected in her poems. Several of her poems were published in poetry magazines , and a collection of her poems was published , entitled "Heritage." A COVERED BRIDGE A covered bridge above a rushing brook, Re-echoes sounds which linger there once heard; When I within its sheltered coolness look! Of oxen lowing a soft plaintive word, Their muzzles etched with hoarfrost, their flanks A steaming mass , those winters of deep snow; Of hobnailed boots resounding on the planks, And skipping tiny shoes with copper toes. The brook goes on and tells of days when men With pole and peavey floated logs to build The bridge ; of boys beneath who should have been At school, whose voices years ago were stilled. Gay lad and lass made it their trysting place These faintly now I hear within its space. by Annabel Vanwinkle INDIAN TRAIL A boulder stands beside a busy street To mark that trail the Indians had worn Across the state on moccasined soft feet The Chippewas to hunt or went forsworn To smoke the pipe of peace with the white men Or trekked to join the Pottawatamies Under a cold pale moon to dance and then Grim call, north wind came crackling in the trees. 161 A lonely pine stands by that thoroughfare To mark the trail and whisper of the spaces So empty of the forest trees now rare , A sentinel for those two dying races , There are no braves who journey in the fall Or other Norway trees so straight and tall. WAR The War God has broken his chain And sends men out inflicting pain ; To prove his right and worship him With bomb, torpedo and with shell ; Thus make the world a living hell For those who will not fall with awe Saluting him who made that law. The Peace God with resolute will Leads men with firmness out to kill; But not for avarice 's gain Nor yet for crazed ambition 's lure Does he urge men to now endure ; And draws them into war for peace To conquer so that strife may cease . And when at last in chains the War God stands The Peace God looks at blood upon his hands . THE CHRIST MASS The scent of balsam fills all the Church While lighted candles shed their soft glow. The Midnight Mass soon will be intoned. The Sanctus bell is heard very clear . The Priest repeats the words as of old. This is My body broken for you, And this My blood which is shed for you. The snow is falling fast footsteps hushed As worshippers walk silently home, A part of the Christ Child in their souls. OCTOBER A purple haze engulfs the hills October's early morns And dew is deep upon the grass While wood smoke fills the air . The harvest time is nearly past October rest awhile At noon the sun hangs high; its glow Of gold enfolds the earth And lures the birds on southward wing To tarry in their flight Your loveliness is everywhere October wait awhile At dusk a chill wraps everything And winter 's icy breath Is felt in all the out-of-doors And men seek hearth and cheer . Oh! fairest month of all the year October stay awhile. 162 MY OLD CLOCK Alone, when all is peaceful and quite still, From where it sits upon the mantel shelf I hear my old clock musing to itself Of great grandfather 's house built on a hill Where it belonged in Boston town when new. "I told my friends when to arise, be fed, And when at ten each one should be in bed ; I sent the children off to school I knew. Your family do not heed my alarm. Instead , electric clocks tell them to rise. Now I am old; a slight I can excuse, For I have learned that age brings its own charm, And with each year grows quietly more wise, I see you, tranquil , too, content to muse . Clara L. Sharpe One of the Howell poets of the 1940's was Clara L. Sharpe , wife of Earl , who resided at 111 Byron Road from 1915 until her death in 1960. She was an active member of the community , her particular interest being the choir of the old Walnut Street Methodist Church. Although some of her poems were published in the Detroit News and church publications, most of them were simply shared with her friends . Her topics reflected her great love for her family, for her friends and for her God. Many of them, such as , " Our Brother Man," (included in this collection) dealt with ideas that were destined to become major issues in the post-war era. Maurine Sharpe Crandall MY MAN-EARL SHARPE I'd like to tell you 'bout my man. He's one the world should know. He's kind and good to everyone Upon this earth below. The folks all feel they know him well, And every boy and girl Says " Hi there!" as they pass him by. They always call him Earl. We live within a little town Where everyone's his friend And all feel free to ask of him For he's so free to lend. He'd take the shirt right off his back If one were thus in need. He loves to work around his yard And sow God's flower seed . There's not another yard in town Looks quite as nice as ours For my good man takes pride in it And works on it for hours . He says it makes our little place Look nice as folks pass by, And so it helps our little town. It takes the tourist's eye. Now my man's not so much for style. He'll wear a suit of blue And then he may put green socks on And his hat may not be new. But, just the same, folks like him. Tho' the world is in a whirl, They always pat him on the back And say , "How are you, Earl? " Now, I say he's worth a million, A man the world should know. If every man could be like him, There 'd be peace on earth below. MOVING AWAY They're moving away , My neighbors next door, Scott, the boy, Joe, the dog; Pat, the girl I adore, And Helen and Howard . I hardly can bear To think of that house Without those folks there. The children have seemed Clara L. Sharpe February 5, 1943 Almost like my own. Joe came to my back door Each day for a bone. They're mighty good folks, And I know I shall cry When the moving van goes And I wave them good-bye. Clara L. Sharpe August 23, 1943 Published, Detroit News, June 3, 1944 OUR BROTHER MAN I sat listening to a sermon Preached by a man of fame . 'Twas on a lovely summer's eve . The sunset was a flame. His pulpit was beside the shore, Beyond there stretched a pier . The people sat and listened. They came from far and near. My eyes gazed out beyond the crowd And out upon the pier A colored boy stood all alone. From there he tried to hear The words the pastor had to say For he was not allowed To join the white folks on the shore Or mingle with the crowd. My thoughts were taken from the words The pastor had to say, For I was thinking of the boy Who stood so far away. In him I saw the sermon That men must brothers be, Before we can have peace on earth To last eternally. Our color may not be the same But when we see the soul, And not the surface of the man , Our lives will be made whole. So we must give them equal rights, The blacks, all race of man, To walk upon this earth the same As all the white folks can. For God made the world for all of us And not for just a few. So let's hasten the day for equal rights And make this world anew. Then our battles will be over ; All alike we'll be ; and then We'll know exactly what God meant By, "Love your brother men." Clara L. Sharpe, March 12, 1943 Published in the Michigan Christian Advocate 163 ODE TO THE SHIAWASSEE There is a woodland place I know, Through whose depths a stream doth flow. Swirling, eddying through all time , For all creation indeed sublime. Art thou named for warriors past, Who in thee didst their line once cast? Or traveled abroad thy rippling waters, With skins of beaver, mink and otters. Thou hast known the winter cold, When freezing winds doth blow so bold. Then locking fast thy channels do, Thou appearest to sleep til spring renew . Oh friend of beaver and deer alike, And neath thy waters rippling bright . Thou carest for crayfish and the clam, Under protection of his dam . Grasses and willows adorn thy banks, For which indeed we give Thee thanks. When catkins in the spring appear , To fill our hearts with delight and cheer . Thy sun l it pools of watercress, Thou dost bestow on us and bless. Where minnows do wander to and fro, Though never quite sure where to go . Often I have sought thee when, I chanced to wander thy wooded glen. How peace and tranquility thou didst give, And caused my spirit again to live . But alas, Man ' s foolish plunder, For his ways have cast thee asunder. And often I' ve wished it were possible to restore , Thy woodland beauty for evermore . GEORGE G . CELESTIN Emil Ernst Bode Merely Explanatory By One of Them We stood in the barn at midnight While the clock was striking the hour, Waiting for the lights to vanish Around the schoolhouse tower. This was the night selected , And a better one never was seen For fulfilling the unpleasant duty Postponed from Hallow-E'en. 164 Two hours we had busily labored In moulding our master-piece , But at night's most ghostly hour We three from our labors did cease . And now the town slept in darkness , And we were free to come forth After taking from the window our blanket , And blowing out the lantern, of course. To avoid inquisitive watchmen , We took a rather wide route; On the sharp lookout for danger , And if necessary , ready to scoot. But we reached the schoolhouse in safety And after securing a limb , Slid thro' the door of the woodhouse, Accompanied, of course, by him. We passed thro ' the halls in silence; Ascending the well-worn flights And climbing the rickety ladders, Could see here and there the lights. Every window we tried was fastened, (We were not prepared for such fun) And ere we could get the nails loosened, The court house clock struck one. But they yielded at last to our efforts And we now proceeded with ease; Our limb we shoved thro ' the window And " Old Grizzly' swung to the breeze . We now tho't of duty completed, And hoped that the morrow's sun Would show to all beholders What, perhaps , we might have done. But what should we do with the ladder , To leave it would ruin the hope. We pulled it up into the belfry , And slid down the scuttle rope . So this is the simple story Of the work of one dark night, When we three risked our lives in the belfry, Without even a match for a light. And for fear that suspicion has fastened On those who deserve not the same, This is written to clearly establish That we three are but to blame. The Wicked Stand in Slippery Places By E . E . Bode, S.S.D. One day, the snow begins to fall On cities large and hamlets small . Next, comes a thaw or winter rain : A freeze turns slush to ice again Then, icy sidewalks lie in wait For him who sees, a step too late, The slip'ry place, that glary strand, Where e'en the wicked cannot stand A man falls slith 'ring on the ice With comments fervent, but not nice: A schoolboy, trailing just behind, Snickered , of course, you know the kind Then he, too, slipt and down he went, Saying things he must have meant For the shockproof ears of hardened kids Or the guy, ahead, who'd hit the skids Such spills occur throughout the town Where old and young keep slipping down, Breaking a leg, spraining a wrist , Or giving backs a crippling twist (But Not In This Town) With ne'er a slip, by day or night, Loaded down or trav 'ling light But there are spots , on every street, That those who walk are sure to meet. Some day the owners may forget To watch their steps-they 'll get theirs yet In many towns, they slap a fine On folks who fail by eight or nine, To shovel off new-fallen snow: Why not in mine-I'd like to know? I think, b'gosh, I'll go away Where snow that falls remains to stay Until warm weather comes again And folks that need it, pray for rain Life must be grand in Tucumcari Where the skies are blue and nights are starry, Or down in sunny Mexicali : No snow to shovel there, by golly I may move out to Tucson, spicy- The sidewalks there are never icy- Luxuriate in Honolulu Or stick it out here-what would you do? All hail the man who leaves no snow Doctor of Snow Shoveling Upon his walk where one may go Phantom Guests at the Twilight Hour By Emil Ernst Bode To reach the age"Three Score and Ten" Is all that's promised to most men, And the weight of four score , year on year, Is a heavy load for some, I fear . But, looking down the Vale of Years From old age back to childhood's tears , Are days and scenes dear to recall , Fond Mem'ry 's gift to old-timers, all, And companions of a vanished day, Boy pals of mine, long gone their way, Oft appear at the twilight hour , Phantom guests at an old man's bower. We sit and review the fun we had ; All of it free for every lad- Just a can of bait and an old fishpole, The magic lure of the swimming hole, Roaming the woods when autumn came, Hunting for squirrel, elusive game ; 165 Winter sports on lake and hills, Pastimes beloved-each had its thrills. Those happy, carefree, boyhood days : We view them through a golden haze . Time marches by on hurrying feet Yet halts, for that hour, when old boy friends meet. October 26, 1952 An Old Timer's Reveries By Emil Ernst Bode I oft recall long-vanished days: My old home by the mill, Big bluegills 'round the water wheel, The " crick" beneath the hill, The winding path to the country school I tramped with dinner pail, Young wintergreens back in the woods, Johnny-jump-ups in the vale. Those joyous hours at the swimming hole, October's golden days, The lure of winter's icebound lake, Sport, catching on bobsleighs. Could I reclaim one, priceless day From boyhood's squandered store, I'd save it up for Christmas Time, To live its thrills one more; To share it with that pal of mine And the boys I used to know: Scarce one owned a dime; but fun was free-- In those days of long ago. Soon, scattered afar, boy sailors, all, Embarking on Life's sea, Now, few are left of those Argonauts Who put to sea with me. The Chrisbnas Fire By Emil Ernst Bode In the embers' Gold of Ophir, Once, a gnarled, hillside tree, Appear familiar scenes and faces Through Mem'ry's magic alchemy. We fare, again, on youthful ventures, By trails we followed long ago, Across the lake to beckoning hilltop; To wintry woods and fields of snow. 166 Mary Park Vogel Mrs. Mary Park Vogel who resides on Spring Street, Howell was born May 13, 1884i n Berrien County, Mich.

Building a silo in 1909. 171 That has to be a real string of Bluegills! The lore and lure of Howell Lake By Francis Raymond Line Copyright 1976 Howell Lake of the 1910's- and all those tangled woods and fields which turned its five-mile circumference into a world of wonder-probably belonged to someone, although no signs and few fences suggested such a possibility . We Howell kids were the real owners. How man y American towns have an enormous sprawling surface of clear blue water lapping right up to the end of some of the streets-almost to the edge of the school playground? After school or on Saturdays : " Hey, Mom, we're going down to the lake"- and we were off to one of the swimming holes, or a rendezvous with a hidden scow, an icy adventure in winter , or sometimes the five-mile trip of exploration clear around it. There was always adventure ; the lake was different every time we went there-filled with new mysteries and excitements to tantalize a small boy's taste buds. Saturdays were the most likely times that we would head over to the deserted log cabin , almost half way round , on the far side . As I recall, it was the only structure of any kind that we encountered on the whole trip around the lake, from the 172 time we left Wenk's Mill not far from the foot of Lake Street , until we reached Hutching 's Mill by the dam clear at the other end. The log cabin was just a one-room shell-with a loft-but we always liked to explore it. That area had the fewest touches of civilization and was good for all kinds of discoveries . A small boy is blest with a double set of exploratory powers. He tackles every exploration , both physically and imaginatively . The physical searching didn't last long-after we had dug between a few logs for secret treasure , and found that the loft was so rickety it couldn't conceal a thing. But our imaginings peopled that cabin and its surrounding field and woods with every kind of hardy and romantic pioneer of some dim past. Who knows but what we were right? Kids Love Snakes Surrounding the cabin , there really were things to explore . It think it's probable that my sense of wonder , which has been one of the greatest assets of my life, must have been born-or at least received some marvelous fertilizationaround those fields and swails , and along the tiny creek , over there on the far side of Howell Lake and on the whole trip around it. There was a fine woods just beyond the cabin. They say the grass on the other side is always greenest. I don't recall the grass over there being green, but it was tall and wind-blown-fun to run in. There were lots of snakes ; once, with much hunting, we found 22 in a single visit. Kids love snakes . Once Church Platt and I found a partly-rotting rowboat sunk in a marshy strip near shore below the cemetery . We pulled it out, and every few days after school we went down to nurse that old hulk back to life. It was a sunken pirate's treasure right in our own back pond. The launching came on a Saturday. Using a board for an oar we got about a quarter of the way across the lake-one of us bailing breathlesslybefore the hulk finally sank . We swam back to shore . In winter , when the lake had frozen a foot or so thick, men would mark off a section as big as the high school football field and saw the ice into great oblong crystal blocks. Big draft horses pulled the blocks into the straw-packed wooden ice house on shore-our town's ice supply for all summer . There was a lot of wonderful noise around there; the enormous saws biting into the ice ; men yelling at the stubborn horses ; occasional explosions as the ice sheet would crack ; the horses puffing and straining like steam engines, accompanied by neighing and snorting . What mattered to us was that the open water-after the cutting-would freeze back over and make the smoothest , glassiest skating of the winter , as slick and shiny as the marble soda-fountain counter down at Barron & Wines drugstore . We always had to be careful , though, to wait until it was thoroughly frozen again . I think that one or two people fell through by using the new ice too soon. I know a lot of dogs did. There were signs: "Thin Ice" but how many dogs can read signs? Approach of spring was when the lake was most dangerous . Once my brother and I, coming across, fell The first V .C. kids' fishing contest on Howell Lake. through when the ice had become thin near the edges , below Wenk's Mill. It was Sunday and no one was around . We didn't go clear under and somehow helped each other to get to shore. By the time we reached home-running most of the way-our clothes felt as though they were frozen stiff. We felt that way, too. As spring advanced , the shore ice would melt more and more , until a strip of tempting open water a quarter of a mile wide would lie between shore and the big ice sheet out in the lake . That's when my brother and I would go over to the west swimming hole, strip, and swim out till we touched the ice. We would shake with the cold, but I guess it was fun. At least we were there to do the same thing again the next spring. There were two swimming holes. The one east of Hutching's Mill, on the far side beyond the island , was where we swam out to the ice, and that was the one we used as we grew bigger . The first swimming hole that I remember was on the opposite shore across from Wenk's Mill. It was a little muddy-just a 15 or 20 foot mud-bottomed clearing in the reeds that some unknown philanthropist had made in the past. I don't suppose any kid in Howell used a bathing suit when swimming in Howell Lake . We'd hike around to the swimming hole, peel off our clothes , and plunge in. No one was ever around . Except once. As a bunch of us boys-I think it was Chuck, Hank, and Sam Platt , Rod and Gerd Hubbell, and maybe "Dad" Tupper-were approaching the swimming hole, we heard voices. Then, just as we got near , cries of dismay . Some girls rushed out of the water , grabbed their lacy clothes which were on some of the bushes, and ran away wildly. Women's Lib was a long ways off in 1910's. Girls weren 't supposed to use Howell Lake for swimming-not in those days, at least when boys wanted the swimming hole. Frisbee 's Woods was close to the lake-down near the 173 The original Pettysville Mill, north of Hamburg. cemetery . There we kids could hike from each other , then have a world of fun trying to find one another . The young hickory trees were so limber that we could climb to the top of one, start swaying , and almost reach the ground as we swayed back and forth. Edgar Rich Burrough 's Tarzan of the Apes had just come out. I remember Dusty Purdy and Chuck Platt running up breathlessly to our house to ask if we'd read it yet. That book, for a time , turned Frisbee 's Woods into an African jungle, and the hickory trees became giant teak forests-or whatever Tarzan swung on. In the fall we sometimes gathered hickory nuts in Frisbee 's Woods but there were better places-with the shaggy-bark kind-farther out from Howell. In spring , these woods were the best place of all to get violets and May Flowers for making May Baskets , which we'd hang on our favorite girl 's door the night of May 1, give a loud knock, then run away . Rowing, Skating Hazardous One arm of the lake-toward the southeast-used to have a lot of stumps . These were bad , since they made rowing dangerous in summer , and skating hazardous in winter . That 's 174 what the grown-ups thought. We kids rather enjoyed snaking our boat in and around the stumps; or sometimes in winter trying to dodge them as we skated . One winter , when the lake level was unusually low, the stumps stuck up a long ways above the ice. A. Riley Crittenden organized a volunteer work team . Men went out and cut off the stumps at ice-level. I can't remember now, but I suppose that when the lake level rose in the spring , the stumps were no longer a problem . The only "inhabited" part of the whole lake except for the areas near Wenks and Hutchin's Mills was the cemetery . Once a speaker at our weekly high school assembly (I think it was the same A. Riley Crittenden) said : "Howell's cemetery possibilities are better than any other town in the state ." C.W. Courter , the school superintendent who was in charge of the assembl y, didn't know whether Mr. Crittenden was speaking seriously , or giving us all a dig. I think he was serious . The cemetery was beautiful-the place we'd nearly always take visitors for a drive . On three sides it was surrounded by water . The road around it was narrow. When driving around it the left-hand way, the narrow road went down a steep incline, then veered sharply to the right just at the water's edge. An elderly woman , in an old car , once didn't make the turn and drove right into the lake . That was a favorite story which we always told to the visitors . We kids used to spend a lot of time reading the grave stone markers . We were genuinely interested in seeing the dates-way way back-when some of the persons had been born, how long some of them lived, and things like that. We liked to read the "sayings" on the markers, too. Sometimes the printing would be partially blurred or worn away with time. We made wild excited guesses at the illegible dates on some of the oldest markers . We were rubbing elbows with history . When one of us found a really old date , we'd yell for the other kids to come look. Chuck Platt 's father , Mayor S.S. Platt , had carved and ground a lot of those markers in his little downtown monument shop. Chuck was my closest friend in early school days. Most of the time , our view of the cemetery was from the lake itself. In summer , we'd row from near Wenk's Mill, going clear around toward the dam at Hutching's Mill, sometimes stopping to reconnoitre on the island . That journey always took us around two sides of the cemetery . And in winter we'd make that same route on skates . When the ice was smooth and the wind just right, two of us would sometimes hold a double bed sheet between us. It was better than a sail and if we could keep from falling, the wind would whirl us around the cemetery point and the length of that lake faster than we could go in Mr. Hamilton's Maxwell. Traveling that fast was cold. But it was more exciting than a ride on the whip at the Fowlerville Fair . Sometimes we'd visit the lake at night-when some of the older fellows were fishing through the ice. That was a different world. The far dim boundaries of the lake made it seem like a frozen ocean and the woods over by the swimming hole looked like a million miles away. Everything was big, and quiet , and sort of mysterious. Sometimes, if there was a moon, it would be beautiful , especially in winter after a snow storm when the lake was covered white. I can't very well imagine how a boy can grow up without a lake in his town. Stepping Off with the Line Brothers The Line Brothers-Winfield and Francis, former Howell residents-virtually started their lifelong careers in this scene before the Livingston County Court House. This was the day, in the summer of 1922, that they began a 13-month hiking and adventure trip to every state in the Union, working their way and sleeping out every night. The other scene shows them , between their sophomore and junior years at the University of Michigan, in 1925, starting a similar trip on which they traveled around the world, by foot , bicycle, cattle boat, immigrant ship , and freighters. Francis Line went on to make travel and adventure his career , producing documentary motion pictures in Lapland , Finland, Western Europe, Asia, and the United States , with which he lectured throughout America . Today, in association with his wife Helen, whom he married in Howell in 1928, he makes educational films for schools, universities, and libraries. Winfield Line, after expanding the original Line store in Howell into a chain and selling it to the D and C, also became an extensive traveler . With his Korean wife , Dr . Grace Song Line, whom he married in Howell in 1928, he became an authority on Korea. The Song-Line Foundation promotes Korean charities and causes . The Line Brothers, at the end of their 48-state hike, in 1923, gave their very first travel lecture in Howell's First Methodist Church, as a charity event to raise money for building a new wing to the church. That event was arranged by A. Riley Crittenden. 175 Old Main Old Main Administration Building of MSS after completion . This is how the building looked after it was completed. This picture is dated 1912. The building was torn down several years ago . Phyllis Euler Rancour The Michigan State Sanatoriunt By Mrs. Nellie Glenn The Michigan State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis, the first institution for the treatment of the disease in Michigan, was established by an act of the legislature in 1905. Dr. Robert L. Kennedy of Detroit was appointed Superintendent and under his direction the building and development was accomplished. The institution opened for the treatment of patients on September 10th 1907. The Staff at that date was : Dr. R.L. Kennedy, Supt. and Physician ; Charles Hoff, Farmer ; Orla Smith, Fireman ; Ella Smith, Cook; Ethel McIntire, Maid. The Superintendent and his family lived then in the old farm house at the south edge of the Sanatorium property. Later , when the Main Building with accomodations for the staff and employees was completed in the summer of 1908, the Superintendent and his family lived in that building. The farmer and his family lived first in the small house at the East entrance to the grounds. On September 11th, 1907, Nellie Lansing of Howell began work as the secretary and bookkeeper. These notes are compiled from her records during the period of September 11, 1907 to August 20th, 1910. The first two patients were admitted the evening of Sept. 10th, 1907. .. Louis Rambo and Walter Ulrick, both of Detroit and both patients of Dr . Henry J . Hartz who was the Secretary of the State Sanatorium Board. (At that time each institution in the State had an appointed Board of Directors who governed the administration of its own institution. Board meetings were held monthly at the Sanatorium. At these meetings the bills and accounts were audited, the policy of government discussed and all business transacted .) 176 The accomodations for patients were an open shack no. 1 built on the brow of the hill overlooking the East entrance about two hundred feet from the rear of the administration building. This accomodated ten or twelve men, two open wings with half doors on the south side, and a heated lobby and dressing room. Treatment consisted of rest twenty-four hours a day, much of it in bed. The winter of 1907-0Sw as a particularly severe one and horse blankets , felt boots, heavy coats and clothing were required equipment for each patient . Each patient was required to walk to the main dining room in the Administration Building for his meals . This was usually the only exercise allowed. Most of the early patients were far advanced cases . Six months was allowed for treatment for each patient. Cases were in two classes : those able to pay their own expenses and State aid or County cases . The charge of an individual was $7.00 per week, and no exceptions were made in the care and accomodations of either class. The nursing , food, laundry and housing were all included in the cost. The monthly allowance by the State for maintenance was $666.66 and was strictly observed in expenditures . Each employee received a stated salary , his rent , food and laundry. At this time the scale of wages was high for the community and many local persons sought employment here. At the time of opening, the Main building was only the rear part consisting of the kitchen, dining room, a small room used as the office, a laundry in the basement; upstairs over these rooms were the sleeping rooms for the help, nurse , secretary . Total of six rooms. The building was continued during the severe winter of 1907-08a nd was completed for use with offices, reception room, laboratory and linen rooms below and sleeping rooms for staff above in July 1908.

These two pictures are self explanatory, showing the shack -type buildings which housed the patients in the early days of the TB San . One of the pictures is dated 1911, the other 1912. 177 Construction of the old Main Administration Building of the MSS . This picture shows the contractor-builder, Fred Euler of Howell and infirmary wing ( of wood) was added on the east front the following year. The wing accomodated six patients in separate rooms and was used for extreme cases . The women's shack no. 2 was opened in the spring of 1908 and later that summer shack no. 3, called "Hearts Ease" (named by the men who occupied it and had all been patients of Henry J. Hartz of Detroit, one of the most enthusiastic sponsors of the institution .) Many of the patients came from Detroit, a few from Grand Rapids, some from Northern Michigan. Very few were admitted at that time from Howell. Patients were met at the • railroads by the Sanatorium conveyance which was an open three-seated wagon drawn by two black horses. In addition to this vehicle, there was a one horse carriage drawn by "Nellie," an old white horse, a cutter and a big bob sled. In the summer of 1908, George W. Teeple of Pinckney, the treasurer of the Board, came often to visit and hired a man with an automobile to drive him there . The automobile had great difficulty in making the grade from the east entrance to the top of the hill. Patients rarely left the sanatorium except on special permission . Many families visited their relatives there . Amusement and occupation were limited. The first library was composed of the books owned and loaned by the secretary. Later gifts of magazines and books were made by Howell people and the real start of the library was a box of fifty current books of fiction sent to the Sanatorium by Mrs. Alexander McPherson of Detroit. The expenditure of any State money was not allowed for non essentials . In the summer of 1908 a phonograph and some records were purchased for the main reception room for the entertainment of patients at given periods of the week. The sum of $60.00w as questioned by the auditor's department and the purchase of further things of that kind was forbidden. There was no 178 his crew during the construction of the building . The date on the back of this picture is 1908. provision for handiwork of any kind. Patients did bring needlework of their own and the men played cards in their shacks. Occupational therapy was not practiced. Patients were limited to rest , more rest , fresh air, at all times. Daily readings were made of temperature and pulse ; once a month physical examinations were made of lungs. No drugs were given; of course no surgery was done. The best hope held for a patient was an "arrested case. " During three years covered in this recollection, some three hundred and fifty patients were admitted for treatment. In 1910 the capacity of the sanatorium was 86 patients. The physicians who served during this period: Dr. Robert L. Kennedy 1907-1909-resigned on account of ill health ; Mr. Howard Kinyon of Ann Arbor, assistant supt. Dec. 1907-Feb. 1908; Dr . Claude L. Sigler of Pinckney, acting supt. Jan . 1908- July , 1908; Dr. B.H. Glenn, assistant supt. August 1908-Dec. 1908; Dr. Chas. Matterson, acting supt. (not licensed in Michigan) Oct. 1908-March 1909; Dr. Earl McCoy of Grand Rapids , acting supt. April 1908-August 1908; Dr. Eugene B. Pierce from Aug. 7th, 1908f or many years, at least until 1920. The office work during the first three years was carried on by one secretary, Miss Nellie Lansing . Correspondence, bookkeeping, patients records were kept in the office. The secretary also acted as receptionist. Members of the Board of Trustees at the beginning of this period (1908) were : Frank B. Leland of Detroit, President ; Frank R. Gray of Clare, Secretary; George W. Teeple of Pinckney , Treasurer ; Henry J . Hartz of Detroit ; Collins H. Johnston of Grand Rapids; Royal S. Copeland of Ann Arbor . Examining Physicians listed in the 1908 annual report were, among the total 61-Dr . W.J . Huntington of Howell; Dr. G.P. Winchell of Ionia ; Drs . H.F . & C.L. Sigler of Pinckney.

The car in the forCegornosu nd must be one - 180 High School Seniors 1976 National Honor Society 1976 By Sue Gervais The National Honor Society got off to a slow start this year. Finding a time to meet without missing classes was a difficult task . Once things got rolling a couple of astonishing things came about. First of all the check for the Empty Stocking Fund that last year 's N.H.S. got together finally found its way to the Empt y Stocking. This year instead of raising money to donate to some needy group in the community it was decided that time would be donated instead . A group of students got together to help the senior citizens. Because money in the school was short and no spring musical was planned , it was voted that money raised be used to put on a musical. National Honor Society sponsored a talent show that ran for two nights and a St. Patrick 's Day Dance . In May the Society will be helping with the Cancer Drive . There was also a scholarship that two members were nominated to submit applications for. Peggy Turner and Kay Mossburg were the nominees. National Honor Society Officers : President , Sharon Cooper; Vice President , Bob Wilson; Secretary , Kay Mossburg ; Treasurer, Sue Lash; Sponsor, Lois Thayer . Homecoming By Terri St. Onge On October seventeenth , senior Mary Gordon was crowned "Homecoming Queen" for the 1975-76 year . Mary, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Gordon, was a Howell cheerleader for three years, an honor student and active in student government during her junior year . On that cold, windy autumn night Mary and her court, rode through the town down to Page Field , where the evenings activities were to take place . These activities consisted of the final judging for the class float competition , in which the senior class walked off with top honors. With a Bicentennial theme to work with, their float was a ship, modeled after the one used in the famous " Boston Tea Party. " Its motto was "Forget The Tea ; Dump The Chiefs" referring of course to the Okemos Chiefs, one of Howell's greatest sports rivals . Then was the football game, and the crowning of the queen's court at half-time . The senior class was also victorious in the overall competition of Pep Week, (the week and events preceding homecoming ), coming in first place. Pep Week had a dress up day, again with a Bicentennial theme, a huge bonfire at the high school, Powder Puff football, Tug-0-War, and a pep assembly with a yelling contest and a pie eating contest. Then on to the game that night. Although Howell lost, it still was a hard fought game . The 1974-75H omecoming Queen, Jane Woodworth crowned the new queen, Mary Gordon. Escorting the queen was varsity football player Tom Guilmette. Crowned. maid of honor was Kelly Andrews, an active member of the senior class . Her escort for the evening was George Perez, also a varsity football player . The senior representative was Kathy Stackpoole, who was active in yearbook and journalism . She was escorted by senior, Brian Mitchell. Colleen Vernier , escorted by Jim Dennis was the junior representative. Debbie Howard, escorted by Lance Sprague represented the sophomore class . The freshman representative was Chris LeMac. She was escorted by Keith Judd . After the game , the court and most of the student crowd went to the homecoming dance at the high school. It was in all, a very memorable and beautiful night. Sports By Amy Lamoreaux The football team got off to a slow start this season .

The 1975-76b asketball team had a very successful year . Under the direction of coach Jerry Johnson, the team had their highest finish in many years .

The team consisted mainly of sophomores with only one year of tennis behind them . The only senior on the team was Pam Loew whose coach Susan Heathfield says was her most consistent player . Even though the team was young, they improved tremendously throughout the year . 181 The Howell Highlander Tennis Team is expecting their best season ever with five seniors returning this year . Coach Bruce Grotenhuis expects his strongest doubles to come from Tom Kellogg and Tim Clark. He is also expecting a good showing in the lower spots from Steve Blank and Dan Niemi.

The rest of the team is comprised of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors . This year, the coaches feel strongly that the girl trackers will rate high in the Capital Circuit. Ths Howell Girl's Volleyball team had a very successful year with an impressive record of 20-2. Coached by Fran Emch , the girls went on to be the Capital Circuit champs Howell Invitational champs , and "Class A" Regional champions. The girls state game was a disappointment, but making it to the state finals was a victory in itself . The team is young with 11 juniors , two sophomores and one freshman and should even be a better year next year . Boys track is coached by Frank Hartman, a teacher at Highlander Way Middle School. All the seniors on the team have placed in previous league meets . Chris Cotter was the league long jump champ and county champ for the last two years .

Special Events By Linda Zayan The first big event was the winter formal , put on by the seniors . To raise money for this affair the senior class had a car wash. It was very successful and we raised about $100 towards our class funds and the winter formal. The formal then was held at the Sheraton Inn in Southfield and turned out very nice. Also throughout the year a senior class movie was in the process of being filmed. This was to be a movie of different events and happenings during the course of the year . With the closing of the school year and being the grad - uating clas s of 1976, the seniors voted for their graduating 182 colors-red, white, and blue.

Commencement exercises were held at Page Field on June 10th at 7:00 p.m ., providing weather held up. Seniors and the Music Deparbnent By Chere Caverly The seniors in band and choir of Howell High School were proud that these organizations could continue in the 1975-76 school year without the millage passage . Much effort was put forth by the students and parents to raise money for the continuance of these cultural activities. This made for a very successful senior year . The band was shaken up by the resignation of director, Mr. Nathan Colonna, but we were soon joined by the great talents of Mr. Douglas Roose. The half time entertainment of the football season was performed by the marching band . This band consisted of a drum major , four majorettes, 20 porn pon girls, and 96 bandsmen . Out of this number 32 were seniors and highlighted the season by producing their own show. There were three other band associated groups performing throughout the winter months .

This building is now used as Cohoctah Twp . Hall. Left to right in picture. Elmer Trowbridge, Mrs . Clark Miner, Clark Miner (proprietor) and Stanley Children . Eric Hibbard 1915 The following was composed and read by 0. J. Lore of Deerfield to the members of the Cohoctah Gun Club at an entertainment in the Bank Hall at Cohoctah in 1915. I began with Mrs . Olsen, a lady of renown, And as fine an old lady as there is in town; Mr. Westphal next, the lightening-rod man; Who deals in fine horses, and autos when he can; Mr. Peckens comes next, with hammer in hand; He will work for awhile, and then he will stand . He makes you believe, (and he talks with a grin), That a _quart of water will turn into gin. Mrs. Johnson, the next who I ives on the street , Is as fine a lady as you wish to meet; Mrs. Peckins next, whom no one should snub , As one of her boys belongs to the Club. And Snyder I believe a carpenter by trade, Has made a good name by the buildings he's made, And now we come to the phone Exchange, With all in order and nothing to arrange ; The manager is often cussed and given a bad name; They talk till they ring off-he smiles just the same. Mrs . Martin and son, they live next door; I boarded there once. How Bill did snore! 194 He and I went out one night for a stroll; They accused us of stealing , but we never stole. Mr . Kethcum comes next with a mansion fine; He attends to his business a good share of the time; In his business house across the way You will find him there most every day. Now comes the Bank in a building grand, And one of the best there is in the land ; If you drop in there for a little loan You are met with a smile and not a groan. Mr . Miller comes next with his wares for sale; He sells pop, ice cream and ginger ale ; He also handles the U.S . mail. Thomas Kelly, the next, you're all aware, Married a lady by the name of Thayer . I knew Thomas a long time ago, When he and I had a hard roe to hoe. Mr . Locke , the last merchant that came to town , Keeps everything in tools from a threshing machine down . His stock of hardware is always complete, His wife and he are nice people to meet. (The editor here wants to add a line : That it's Cox 'o Cohoctah who is boss at this time. He purchased the interest of the well-liked Locke And is handling a bigger and better stock.) We now arrive at the railroad station; A busy place in a good location. The freight that is handled in this little town, Is not to be equalled in the towns around. We now go over the track a ways, And find the place where Cora Ball stays. This street you all know has got two sides, And across the way Mr. Hadsall resides. Mr. Hadsall, they tell me and 'tis very well known, Sends away for the goods which he could buy at home. We now drift back to the Cohoctah Hotel, Which is known far and wide and liked very well. The meals served there are fit for a queen, And the beds they sleep in are spotlessly clean. Across the track is the general store, Of the H.G. Ketchum I spoke of before. Now we come to the store of Ed Pratt and Son, Where the people flock in about sixteen to one. The way they meet you is not in disguise, And he gets the worth of his money who buys. Wrigglesworth John, the next down the line, Sells salt, coal and tile, cement and white pine. Sell him your beans, your coal, wool and hay, For he is the man in Cohoctah to stay. Wrigglesworth, Nancy, the next on the street, As fine an old lady as one wishes to meet; Speak of her kindly, speak of her the same, For she raised a large family, with a very long name. "Push" Wrigglesworth's next to come within range; He was mentioned before at the 'phone Exchange. An interior view of the N.E. Miner and Sons store in Cohoctah. The owner Norris E . Miner is shown on the 'right with George Killin who worked for many years as a clerk . This was a general store as indicated by the merchandise displayed. It also housed the Cohoctah Post Office for many years. A son, Rolland C. Miner was affiliated with the store and also served as postmaster in Cohoctah from 1919 until he retired in 1950. When the store was sold in 1944 the post office was moved across the street to what was known as the bank building. Dave Ackerman's place comes next in the row; He works in Flint where he rakes in the dough. Dave visits home every once in a while, And always wearing a good natural smile. "Little" Joe Brower is the barber in town, Who will shave you upward and then come down; He goes to work with scissors and blade, Steps back and views the balk he's made . Joe's a good fellow and can take a joke, And will pass a dime to a man that's broke. Mr. Sanford is rich in houses and lands, And heartily greets you with outstretched hands. He's a pretty good man to have in town, For he makes the wheels go round and round. (There's a little addition, just out of town, Sprang up in the night when no one was round .) Jake Hunt is the first who comes to my mind, He runs a feed stable and livery combined. Just hand him the price and sit down awhile, And he'll come and get you in rather fine style . Roy Ketchum and family live over there- As happy a family as you'll find anywhere; He's a help to his grandmother who lives next door, And also helps in his fathers big store. There is Eugene Fay, who works for his bread, Not by the sweat of his brows, but by what's in his head . There's the doctor, too, unaquainted with me, If you're sick he'll visit you readily . He will feel your pulse and take your tempt., too, And probably give you a pill or two. · There are a few young people that live in town, And as nice young people as you'll find around; Speak of them kindly, they would wish you to, And I'll end my story and bid you Adieu . The store has been in continuous operation to the present time and is now owned and operated by Mr . John Vincent . The post office is still serving in Cohoctah although it has been relocated several times. For one period of time it was moved back to the store building when Don Royston was postmaster and also owner and operator of the store. Mr. Petersmark is the present postmaster and serves 70 to 80 regular customers . 195 Sprague School-1912 Back row left to right-Wayne Ryal, Lloyd Allbright, Burl Betterly, Loris Smith, Eber Palmer, Ira Donegan, Clair Listerman, Vincent Finley, Seldem Kelley, Vera Brown (teacher), Helen Madden, llah Bohm, Eva Allbright.

Eric Hibbard CohoctahB and 196 The CohoctahC alf Club For over fifty years the Cohoctah Calf Club has extended its influence in Cohoctah Township and Livingston County . Organized in 1924 under the leadership of then county agent, Clarence Bolander, the club had a charter membership of four . The four original members were two brothers, Kenneth and Kern Steinacker along with their cousins Wilbur and DeWitt Steinacker . County agent Bolandeis leadership gave r ise to several outstanding 4-H dairy club members who became community leaders and active in extension organizat ions . Wilbur Steinacker was a member of the State 4-H Dairy Judging Team in 1929 and DeWitt Steinacker was a member in 1934. Kenneth Steinacker was a member from 1924-1935 and the leader from 1936-1940. In later years as Mr. Steinacker's own son, Eugene and three daughters , Ethel, Diane and Daune became eligible , they joined the club and he again took on the duty of leader . In the beg i nning years of the club it is interesting to note the membership was predominately male but the years 1926 and 1927 do have the name of Claudine Burkhart appear ing on the role . There were no girls in the membership again until 1937 when Donna Steinacker became a member and remained through 1940. A list of the early leaders is as follows : Clarence Bolander 1925; Paul Steinacker 1926; Howard Steinacker 1927-1929; Wilbur Steinacker 1930-1934; Ralph Holmes 1935; Kenneth Steinacker 1936-1940; Bell Raising Bell ra,s,ng at the Cohoctah United Brethren in Christ Church, located at the corner of Gannon and Antcliff Roads in Cohoctah Township . The Cohoctah Church is the oldest class of the Michigan Conference which was organized in 1853. Along with the Conway Church it was known as the Conway Circuit, the two churches sharing the same pastor for over one hundred years. The church building was framed by Grove G. Cook, grandfather of Clifton and Raymond Cook, in 1974. It was not finished until a year later . The pastor at the time of this picture 1905 was Rev . C. B. Whittacri. It was pastored in 1899-1901 by J.P. Smith, grandfather of Kenneth Steinacker. It has had two Lady pastors, the Rev . Ruth Foltz in 1932 and Rev . Mae Custer in 1945. The present pastor 1976 is James Hartenburg . Lucy Cook Glendon Hoisington 1941-1945, except 1942 when there were only three members-Clarence Dyer , George Lewis and Jack Russell. They became a part of the Conway Jr's . for that year . Kendall Hoisington was the leader in 1946 and 1947. There have been various other leaders down through the years and the club is still serving the young people of the area . Interestingly this year will be the beginning of a third generation in the membership. Trach Finley, granddaughter of Kenneth Steinacker is presently making plans to join the club. 197 ( --- Class No. 10, Methodist Church, August, 1929. ... \ M.E.C hurchC, ohoctah The organization of the Oak Grove Circuit was authorized by the Michigan Conference, at its session in Flint on September 7-10, 1855, of which Green District in Burns Township in Shiawassee County, Deerfield Center, Deer Creek or Howeburg, and the Pink District in Livingston County were a part. The first religious meeting was in the township of Deerfield, in the faff of 1836, at the home of Ruben Pease . At an early date not available a class was organized in the Pink District with Everett House as leader . This class was supplied from the Oak Grove Circuit from 1855 to 1862. In the conference year of 1868 and 1869, the Graham Schoolhouse, located one-half mile east of Cohoctah village was made a preaching point on the Oak Grove charge for one year only . On December 19, 1894 the Cohoctah Ladies Aid Society was reorganized at the home of Mrs. John Martin. Present were Mrs. Everett Haduff, Mrs. Thomas Kelly, Mrs . James Wolfe, Mrs . David Ackerman and Mrs. William Graham . The collection totaled ninety cents. Soon after, a Sunday Schoof was organized by Mrs . Joseph Browning , Mrs. Everett Hadsall, Mrs. John Martin and Mrs. William Haskell . ft was held in the Graham Schoolhouse sometimes with a very small attendance , but with the faith and courage of the afore mentioned ladies it, with the Ladies Aid, was the nucleus for the class that was formed in 1911 by Rev . John Lewis . However , between 1894 and 1911, there were preaching services in the Graham Schoolhouse , held by Evangelical ministers from Durand. In 1900, Methodist ministers from Byron began coming to preach. Preaching services were held every two weeks but now in the half above the Cohoctah Bank building. The Conference now put Cohoctah on the Oak Grove charge with Rev. E .H . Wilcox as Pastor. Rev . Wilcox launched the project of building a church and it was received with enthusiasm . A meeting was called and attended by fully ninety percent of the male population. Eugene Fay, cashier of the focal bank was chosen temporary chairman . Committees were appointed and the proposition gained considerable momentum . On the building committee were : H .G. Ketchum, Edwin Pratt , R.S . Houghton, G.B . Hosley , Hiram Gilland , Phanette Richards, A.J . Peckens and John Wriggles - worth. Shortly after this, work was started on the site given by Mr. and Mrs. John Wriggfesworth . On the 17th of June, 1915, the corner stone of the new Bethel Methodist Evangelical Church of Cohoctah was laid . Present were a large number of people from all parts of the township and neighboring villages to celebrate the occasion . On September 12, 1915 the Ladies Aid Society on the night before the dedication served supper in the basement of the church of which over two hundred people partook . About three hundred dollars was added to the subscription fist that day making the total of thirty-three hundred dollars toward the four thousand necessary to complete the building . The membership of the Bethel Church at this time numbered less than thirty members. There were over forty members enrolled in the Junior Epworth League. 198 Much credit was due the Ladies Aid Society for their untiring efforts in raising funds for the construction of this church building. For a number of years they had been adding little by little to the store in their treasury in the hope that someday they might see a church in Cohoctah . Their labors had not been in vain. Their donation at the time was one thousand dollars. On Sunday morning August 31, 1952, the Bethel Methodist Church burned just as the worship service was starting . The entire community was shocked and saddened at the great loss but very soon plans were under way to rebuild. ft was decided to use the same location. At this time Arlie Brown was chairman of the Board of Trustees. It was through his untiring efforts largely that this building was constructed. He organized the volunteer workers of which he did a great deaf himself along with many others. He was also in charge of solicitation of funds. Everyone contributed very generously to the building fund and many hours of labor were donated and on November 8, 1953 the new much smaller church was dedicated free of debt. Present were Bishop Marshall Reed , Rev. Dr . Moulton, District Superintendent of the Flint District, Rev. Homer Van Buren and Rev . Clyde Moore . Two charter members of the first church were present. They were Mrs . Lucy Ackerman and Mrs. Elizabeth Wriggfesworth . ..

The 'Speaking Telephone' Comes to Howell By Beulah Reader The " speaking telephone " was first used in Howell in 1882 when Charles Brown had a pri vate telephone line strung from his jewelry store in town connecting to the recently - constructed Detroit to Lansing line. Since there were no other phones in the city then, Brown could only make long distance calls . Early the following year , private telephones also were installed in William J . McPherson 's store and residence and in the homes of E .G. and M.J . McPherson . The telephone office was moved from Brown's jewelry store in 1887 into new quarters in Charles Paddock's photograph gallery . However, no new phones were installed in the city until shortly before the turn of the century. In the late 1890's, the Livingston Home Telephone Company brought a crude switchboard to Howell and established a telephone exchange-making service available to the public for the first time . However , the company offered ser vice only to city residents . People living in surrounding rural areas organized their own company- the Livingston County Mutual Telephone Company-in 1903a nd built telephone lines connecting to the switchboard in town. Telephone service in those early years was crude compared to modern standards . Telephone wires were strung haphazardly from tall trees and housetops and customers had to shout to be heard over noise on the line. Late in 1905, the Livingston County Mutual Company consolidated with the Michigan State Telephone Company, which later became Michigan Bell. About five years later , the Livingston Home Telephone Company was purchased by the Inter -State Long Distance Telephone Company. In March of 1913, the companies-serving about 700 telephones-merged and after that the Michigan State 201 J In the early and mid-1920's, the Howell telephone office was located in the McPherson Bank Building . Company was the only telephone company operating in the county. It became Michigan Bell on Jan . 1, 1924. Three years later, Michigan Bell announced plans to build the first building in the city designed specifically for the telephone business . At that time, the telephone office was located in the McPherson Bank Building. The cornerstone for the new building on East Grand River was set in place in July , 1928 by Mayor John Wrigglesworth . The following year , the building was placed in operation and the old fashioned hand-crank type phones were removed from service here. By 1939, there were 1,500 tele"phones in the Howell exchange , but by the end of World War II, the number had increased to 2,600 phones. Extended area ser vice between Howell, Brighton and Pinckne y was inaugurated in 1949 ending toll charges for calls between the three communities . In 1964, Michigan Bell erected a building at 421 E . Grand River and installed new equipment enabling Howell customers to dial their own local and long distance calls for the first time. That same year , Touch-Tone service became available here and Municipal Judge W.H. Erwin had the first Touch-Tone phone in the city installed in his office. Today there are about 14,700 telephones in Howell. At the time of the cut-over from switchboard to dial , I was employed on the switchboard , and wrote a poem for the occasion, as follows: The Cut-Over Blues 'Twas the nite of the Cutover When all thru the room A silence descended , it was akin to gloom 202 Mrs. Allen softly crying , with head on her desk Poor Della was sighing, she was doing her best To keep system and order going that nite But signals were flashing , it sure was a sight When out on the floor, there rose such a clatter This is how the Howell central office looked in the early 1940's.

This was at the completion of the cut-over from the old Bell and Home systems in Howell into what is now Michigan Bell. The only person I can name in the group is my father, Otto Frykman, who assisted in this project. He is 5th from the right, wearing dark coat, derby hat and his customary cigar in his mouth. Doris Frykman Mrs. Allen called out "Say , what's the matter? When what before her wondering eyes should appear Eighteen tiny elves , they looked so queer On each of their heads was a tiny head-set. A way to the boards They flew like a flash Took care of each signal, Then turned with a dash Now girls , stop your crying , things aren't so bad . Just think of all the good times you've had .

Canadian Founds Bakery in Howell In 1903 George Dickson Sr . moved from Mt . Forest Canada to Howell. He had been in the Bakery business there for JO years , taking it over when his father Peter Dickson died . Peter as a young man, worked as a bonded apprentice in Edinburgh, Scotland . His father who was a miller, boarded and clothed him . When his 5 years were up, his boss gave him a bandana handkerchief and a pair of wooden shoes for being a good apprentice . After coming to Howell , George bought out Myers Brothers Bakery and rented the building for three years . In 1906 he bought the store in the middle of the block from A.J . Prindle on a contract for $3,500,!)0-. He put in a soda fountain, served light lunches along with the bakery products . Bread was 10 cents, cookies and fried cakes 10 cents per dozen . A good baker received $12.00 per week and a helper $6.00 per week. George Dickson passed away in 1915 and his son Alva went into partnership with his mother Rachel . In 1918 there was a bad fire and the shop was remodeled. Only bakery products were sold after that 204 and bread was shipped to all the surrounding towns, some 25 in number . They served the grocery stores and restaurants in Howell . Rachel Dickson passed away in 1920 and Alva Dickson became sole owner of the bakery where he had worked from the age of 13. In 1921 he married Lillian Buhl of Gregory and they had two children, Stanley and Floris . Both worked in the shop . In 1949 Stanley bought half interest in the business after having served three and a half years in the Army and completing school at Michigan State College . Floris married Robert Andrews and both worked in the bakery, where Floris did most of the decorating . Another fire in 1946 causing around $20,000 damage made it necessary to remodel the whole building . It was completed in 1951 but Stanley was called back into the service at this time . He married Kathryn Morgan of Howell before leaving and she followed him to Germany where he was stationed . Stanley sold the business in 1968, closing 65 years of a Dickson Bakery in Howell.

Dirty Side of War told in Letters Ho01e (Editor's note: This is the 10th in a 15-part series on Michigan's role in the Civil War. It was written especially for the Associated Press and The Ann Arbor News by Dr. Philip Mason, archivist of Wayne State University. In this installment, Dr. Mason views the conflict through the eyes of a Howell, Mich. captain who found the battle area unglamorous.) By Dr. Philip Mason Gus Smith was 32 when he enlisted as first lieutenant in the 22nd Michigan Infantry in July, 1862. The newly organized regiment was recruited from the counties of Oakland, Livingston, Macomb, St. Clair, Lapeer and Sanilac, which in 1862 consisted mostly of small farming communities. Moses Wisner, a former governor of the state, was appointed colonel of the regiment and directed the two weeks' training in Pontiac . On Sept. 4, after receiving a flag from the ladies of Pontiac in a colorful public ceremony, the regiment left for front line duty in Kentucky. The activities of the regiment are described in a series of 10 letters which Gus Smith wrote to his parents living on a farm near Howell between September, 1862, and May, 1863. Army censorship was not practiced in the Civil War and, hence, the letters show the grim, as well as the humorous, side of army life. They reveal a picture of soldiering that is not usually reflected in the romanticized, sentimental versions of the rebellion now popular on television and in magazines. Smith's first letter to his parents, sent from Covington, Ky., on Sept. 22, 1862, indicated that he was finding Army life a challenge . " Here we are in the darndest dirty hole in the whole world. It is very dry and dusty here. We have to lay on the ground in the open air . We are bothered almost to death for water to drink , say nothing of washing ourselves and clothes . Haven't changed my shirt since I left Pontiac and don't know when I can , as our baggage is 15 miles from here . We are the dirtyest set you ever saw . We have to drink water out of a common duck pond. It looks green when we dip it up. If we don't all get sick it will be a wonder. " A week later, he wrote elatedly , " I had a treat tonight in the way of a good wash and a clean shirt , the first I have had since I left Michigan ." Officers of the 22nd Michigan Infantry, photographed some time after Capt . Smith's death . 206 Capt . Gus Smith, the Howell farmer who found war was not the least bit glamorous. As the war dragged on, and as Union casualties increased by the thousands, without the promised Union victories , there was some public opposition to continuation of the war . Gus Smith must have heard about it, for on March 12, 1863, he wrote to his parents and sisters : " Wish I could be home just long enough to shoot about a dozen of those cursed traitors that infest Livingston county . Damn 'em if it was not for such Union men as they are, this bloody war would soon end, but just so long as such men are allowed to talk and act, treason only and boldly among you there at home, as they do, there is in my humble opinion, no prospect of a speedy termination. '' At best, be united, be a unit, and pull together, and we will whip them into subjection in short order, but place an army, ' \ Army kitchen: Army food in the Civil War was universally disliked by soldiers. The condition of this typical Army kitchen helps explain why . (AP Photofax) as we are placed, with a fire in front, and great deal worse on in the rear, it is uphill business, and pretty sandy at that I reckon." Lt. Smith's letters reveal also that he thought often about his home and his parents. "Well, Mother, how are you all tonight? Wish I could drop in and see you this eve. Should like to eat breakfast with you tomorrow morning . Our living is pretty tough, some of the time, but I get along with it as well as any of the rest. We had hard bread and coffee without sugar for supper tonight. Should have made a fuss about if it I had been at home. But as it was, I had to eat it, and make the best of it. "Father, take care of what few traps I have, in case I do not return. My Saginaw property you can dispose of as you think best. You will find a good pair of buck gloves in my trunk, take and use them. Have you done your threshing yet? If so, how does the wheat turn out? How much are you going to sow this fall? Who have you got to help you? Tell me all the news about everybody ... " In the spring of 1863, Smith, now a captain, again addressed his father: "Wish I could be there to help you, but I cannot. And then I can help you almost as much here as I could there . I like the business very much, and have been tolerably successful so far, I think . I think I may well be proud. It has been a great school for me. I have already been amply rewarded, and I believe, I am thought something of here . And it is gratifying to me to know, that the position I hold, I have fairly won. Nothing would tempt me to exchange places with any of my old croneys or associates. I am about as far ahead as any of them. " This was the last of the letters his parents preserved and possibly the last one he ever wrote to them. On Oct. 11, 1863, Capt. Augustus Smith died of wounds received in action in the battle of Chickamauga. He was buried in the National Cemetery in Chattanooga , Tenn. Thus, he joined thousands of his comrades who gave their lives to preserve the Union. Ann Arbor News, Feb. 3, 1961 111I iIl ll,11.1._ 1 ,.: 207 Diaries of Elisha W. Grant Editor's note: Mary A. Grant, 1444 Engel Road, Lawrence, Kan. discovered some family memorabilia and offered it to the Livingston County Historical Society. The family has always been proud of their relationship to Ulysses S. Grant. Among the items handed down from one generation to the next is the original land assignment (1838) signed by President Martin Van Buren to Philip Coon for the property in Conway Township that eventually belonged to the Grant family. Elisha W. Grant was Mary Grant's grandfather and this is his story . Compiled By A. J. Marvin Elisha Wilcox Grant was a handsome man . In his picture he looks like the kind of man who could carry his own weight in this wilderness he had moved to with his family . While new settlers had no problem with the Indians , living with the elements, just existing, was a challenge. Grant was just a lad when the family came to Livingston County. He writes of their arrival and settlement in Conway. Early in February 1838,W arren G. Grant, the father of the writer, exchanged his farm in the town of Livonia, Wayne Co., Mich. where he had resided for eight years previous coming from Massachusetts in 1830, for lands in Livingston owned at that time by Rufus Brach . Soon after making the . exchange he made a journey to Conway or as it was then called Howell (sic), it being attached to that town. He traveled by stage to what was then called Livingston Centre . The stage was operated by Allen Weston at that time . There being no public conveyance west of Howell, he footed it to John R. Fowler in the next town west, who went up and showed him his land. The next day the two Fowlers, John and Ralph, Harvey Metcalf, Les Nutt, Elijah Gaston, John Bush and Calvin Handy, comprising most of the male citizens of what is now known as the town of Handy, with an ox team and sled on which was put some marsh hay and the necessary provisions for the men (they went up to the new place to make a home for another new settler. ) Soon all hands were at work and before night the logs were cut and hauled . A shanty 16 by 20 raised ready for the roof which he hired Mr. Gaston to put on for a few dollars in WILD CAT money. The roof was made of basswood logs split in halves and then hollowed out with an axe the entire length . The first tier was laid close together with the bark side down. The second tier covered the joints of the first tier by being placed bark side up, thus disposing entirely with beams, rafters, roof boards , shingles or nails , still making a waterproof roof. According to the contract with Mr. Gaston about three feet was left open across the entire end for the chimney when it would be built and for the passage of smoke until that time . Having accomplished this much, he returned to Wayne County and made preparations to move the family into their new home. Having purchased a pair of half broke steers four years old and a light cart into which was loaded a sugar kettle and grindstone and a few smaller articles, with two horse teams to carry the family, household good and provisions, about the second week in April we started for Livingston County. The third day we arrived at Elijah Gaston's, paid off our teamsters who stayed until the next morning and after wishing us all manner of success in our new undertaking, left for home. The same morning we hitched up the steers and a few things packed into the cart and driving the two cows, the 208 male members of the family went up to the new shanty which we found after traveling four miles. We were without doors, floors, windows or even chinking. After driving our stock to pasture which was a small swamp some 30 rods west of the shanty in which the wild grass had started and was six or eight inches in height. We then commenced chinking, cut down some Basswood trees, cut them in lengths of six or seven feet then split them into four slabs and laid them down for a floor in the corners of the shanty, making room for two beds. We made a door and a cupboard from one of the boxes in which some of the goods were packed . The door was hung on wooden hinges with wooden latch and a dozen nails were all that was required in its construction . An opening was made for one small six-lighted window which with the opening in the roof furnished the necessary light. The tall oaks were waving their tops directly over this cabin and could be plainly seen through the opening in the roof, through which the stars looked down the first night after our arrival. The next day a yard was built of poles in which to keep our stock nights. Trees were felled that stood near the shanty and that were considered dangerous. The balance of the floor was laid, a few stones were gathered and a chimney commenced which was not finished until the logs had burned nearly half way through by the fire used in cooking. This shanty was built near the centre of the east half of the northwest quarter of Section 33, on the old trail road which had been cut through some two years previous by the Ingersolls of Farmington who were at that time making a settlement at a place called Grand River City (now Delta ), some seven miles below where the city of Lansing is located . At this place on the 14th day of April, 1838, we were four miles from the nearest neighbor on the east and 21 on the west (there being a small settlement at Pine Lake). The nearest postoffice was at the centre of Howell, 13 miles distant after we had been seven weeks in the township, one afternoon a woman on horseback made her appearance , it being near sunset . She was urging her horse at a rapid gait, did not stop at our place but soon passed out of sight and hearing , leaving us to wonder who she could be, where she came from and whither bound. The next day she returned and the whole matter was soon explained . Her name was McIntosh and she lived in the town of Iosco some 12 miles from us and was in search of some friends who lived some six or seven miles to the northwest of us where she arrived after dark but was escorted the last part of her journey by a howling pack of hungry wolves. The first school that I attended was taught by Michael Handy in a log house on the northeast corner of Section 11 in the township of Handy distant from our place four miles, three of which was through the woods with nothing but blazed trees for a guide-going and returning on foot-leaving home as soon as daylight and returning after dark-after attending a few days, the school was closed on account of sickness of the teacher and was not reopened that winter. Grant was married to Jane Hitchcock of Ingham County on Feb. 24, 1847,b y the Justice of the Peace for Ingham County, David Phelps.They became active members of the community ; Elisha bought 40 acres of land from his parents for $200. Through purchases and land being left to him, he accumulated considerable properties ; and he was elected county clerk for Livingston County in November of 1860.

Grant , formerly Jane Hitchcock. He was also a private in the United States Army, enlisting with the Fifth Regiment of Michigan Infantry . During its organization, the Fifth Regiment was at Ft. Wayne, Detroit. The Regiment spent its days in drill and discipline since it was believed it would not be put in service after the Bull Run disaster . When it became apparent that more men would be needed, the organization of the Fifth was hurried along to completion. Livingston County was represented in the Fifth Regiment by one company known as the Livingston Company and designated as "I " Company, mustered under Captain John Gilluly. The Fifth broke camp and left Detroit for the national capitol on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 1861. The arrived in Washington on Sunday morning and by night had their orders to march . From that date they joined other regiments in many battles , losing their commanding officer, in one particularly disasterous battle . Lieutentant-Colonel John Gilluly, the original captain of Company I, fell mortally wounded while cheering his men on. Letters written by Hitchcock to his sister (Mrs. Grant ), describe some of the incidents that occured during his service time and give an account of his illness. Apparently Mr. Grant forwarded the letters to another sister but the name was not mentioned. Dear Sister: I now sit down to write a few lines to you. We are all well. I am now nearly over my hoarsness for the first time since I left your house. We received two letters from Milton yesterday, it being just one month since we received one last from him. We some expect Eleda home tomorrow . I will keep the letter for her to read and send their supply to you. Here is the first. Camp Michigan-January 2 Dear Sister: I take this opportunity to write a few lines to you. Received yours of the 19th in due time and I will endeavor to answer it as well as I can . I am glad to hear you are all well and to hear that the money that I sent is safe . I don't want mother to keep any of the money for me but use it for her own comfort. We have mustered for pay again and I hope that I can send some more money home in a short time . It appears by what you wrote that James Coal and some others sit down and cry but that is not what I enlisted for. I came here to fight and not to cry . I am glad that George Hogt is getting better . I should think that it would be interesting to you to hear him tell about camp life but if I live to get home I think that I can tell more than he can . I shall probably have some stories to tell that will interest you all. I am not very well at present. I have a bad cold which I have had for some time. Yesterday was the pleasantest New Year Day that I ever saw ; it was as warm as the Fourth of July in Michigan but it was not very pleasant for our first Lieutenant for he was on picket and went out scouting with 15 Infantry and a few Cavalry . When they got near Fawls Church they were fired on by concealed rebels who were only 20 feet from them . One ball struck him at the corner of the mouth , laid his cheek open and passed through a position of his neck through coat and vest collar . His hat was shot off his head . He was stunned for a moment but as soon as he got his senses , turned his horse for camp . When he arrived here some of our boys did not know him he was so bloody. He offered $100f or his hat. There must be some holes in it I think. I understand that we had only two men wounded. The other was Calvin Mann. He was wounded in the leg. We killed two rebels and one horse. I have no more to write at present. Write often. From your brother. Camp Michigan Jan. 6, 1862 Milton Hitchcock. Once more I am sick. I was taken with a severe cold and for nearly two weeks I have not been able to do anything but be in my tent. What it will amount to I do not know but it is rather tough to be sick as much as I am. The boys advise me to apply for my discharge which I shall do as quick as possible and I have no doubt but what it will be made out soon for I shall never be able to do much here. The Fifth Regiment goes on picket today but I have to lie on my bed and take up with that and wish that I could go with them but that is all the good it does, but Stephen (not identified) is here so I am not very lonesome. You can tell his folks that he is well and as tough as a knot. I expect Stephen will leave here in a short time and probably I shall not see him many times more for his Regiment is going in the heavy Artillery . They will garrison some fort, what one I do not know. You must not worry too much about me, I will write often to you so you can know how I am . Give my best respects to all the neighbors. Stephen sends his respects to all. I must close. Milton Hitchcock NOTE: Pvt. Milton Hitchcock died March 2, 1862. His mother received a certificate in the amount of $126.86 from the Treasury Department. 213 214 r POSTMASTER GENERAL OF TO ALL WHO SHALL SEE Vlill.lllUI~~ &,. d - f"' - day of at __,, (()~ - --- ) in de ~wnty, of on t~ ' of- ..,,4_- , 1 /'f.4 2--, EXECUTE NOW,K NOWY E, fMat, rxm/i4n d e int?euty) at'i.tty) @rul I DO 00:MMISSIOIT HIM A ~il~m£.Z~matu ~o-uzed' to eucfde de 11i£W [;) ®l:f 'IllWlll W~ll'Illllll]) ~'Ill£'Illlll~9 a,,nd de Regulations '!f the Post Office j,Miv~p, a,nd emrP~nenttJ to t~ Mt,m,e ~n?'n?J ~? t,M ;,&al>wotfe t he IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, J ~ve affxed,a t OfY q?tty) de ------- eiflk 0/ndf oty= ~·/,,,,~ - IC lt LIPP m, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ESE PRESEN'rs, GREETING: ) 13'.42 ) -~"- #a,,/U-/~k,ve~ wa6 ~~ --~ ),!/late of //£:~a-rt/ - :tMZ4w~ lie cf«/ D, cmd b TH~o ~OFO :F~ ICJl'./'"' r_-..4d '_ku .· '?ofde.ad ~tu-d,,4/~~- - thd officea l - af-ait/, to de rtment: TO HOLD tlfe 1>ado /fce,e f [F@$'ii~O\\$'if[[~,~ d al/ tie jwweM, aster General of the United States. to 6d my, ~nd, and au6MXI the Seal of the Post Office Department ,I/; ----- rlay, of ~/?'~ra~ - ) m tl:e of (}ll/}" ~od one , ,wul of de .Y~ of,~ l7llonite!a/t atet,d e !?"'o//~ U.S. Government appointment of Elisha Wilcox Grant as Postmaster of Conway, 1842. 215 The Old Courthouse Road Commission-19301 The Livingston County Road Commission (late 1930s): William Slavin , Engineer, Harold Chubb, Clerk , Tracy Crandall , Glenn Chubb , John Hagman, Livingston County Clerk, Coe Allen . 216 Board of Supervisors, 1912 Picture of Livingston County Board of Supervisors, 1912.

Physically Handicapped By Marguerite Moore The National Association of the Physically Handicapped, Inc. is an organization of physically handicapped persons and non-handicapped associate members which was formed on May 4, 1958, at Grand Rapids, Michigan and incorporated under the non-profit laws of Michigan. The scope of the organization is to do all things necessary and within our abilities to improve the social, economic and physical welfare of all the physically handicapped . Our National Education and Research Committee collects and studies data and information of special concern to the physically handicapped and keeps our members and other handicapped informed in these matters . N.A.P .H. proposes and supports legislation to provide more educational and rehabilitation opportunities, tax relief, employment and other benefits for the physically handicapped. Our Livingston County chapter is the first one in our county. We have members from Mental Health, L.A.R,C.. Work Skills in Brighton, Social Services , Rehabilitation in Howell and Hillcrest Center. Our officers are: Marguerite Moore, Hamburg; Ruby Dombroski, Hamburg ; Dorothy Hampton, Howell and Michael Hasti, Howell. County Red Cross The Livingston County Chapter of the American Red Cross was organized April 16, 1917. The officers were Mrs. D.W. VanWinkle chairman , Miss Frances I. Huntington secretary , 228 and Mrs. A.L. Smith Treasurer. They retired Jan . 20, 1940 to be succeeded by Mrs. O.F. Merithew chairman , Mrs. J . Needham vice chairman and sewing chairman , Mrs. Louis Hadley secretary , and Mrs. Don W. VanWinkle treasurer. Succeeding chairmen were Mrs. J .S. Page , Rev. Ralph Karney , Mrs. Geo. Sargison, Miss Josephine Grostic from 1951 to 1967, followed by Chas Sutton, Al Latson , and Milton Conine. Prior to the states ' entry into the second World War all shipments of cloth were made to Jas Needham residence . Later the City of Howell donated the area now used by the present police force as sewing headquarters. Mrs. Harry Huntington headed up the knitting program from her home on Walnut Street. Any garment not passing inspection was corrected and packed for shipment. Guy Knoop donated all day services to and from the train depot of shipments of cloth and yarn. Reflections worth mentioning here-shipping containers were non-existent. John MacDonald supplied rough boxes that were cut to the proper shipping size. Mrs. Russell Smith had the only sewing machine equipped with a buttonholer in our area . She made all the buttonholes. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Pate purchased and packed all articles needed for the ditty bags for that period of production . Services to the Armed Forces is the only recognized official contact between the service men and their families and any branch of our National Armed services . Mrs. Merithew headed this department for many years. Mayor Heller proclaimed Oct. 5, 1965 as "Ollie Merithew Day " in recognition for her years of devotion. This work has since been ably filled by Mrs. Portia Bartz , as many families in Livingston County will attest. Paul Bennett as Water Safety and Life Saving Chairman spent many hours teaching youngsters to swim at the local beach in summer classes . In 1950, Howell became a Unit of the Lansing Regional Blood Center with Helen Bauer serving as chairman continuously until her retirement in 1973. March 1958 the Volunteer Gray Ladies of the American Red Cross was organized to aid in the work at the local hospital. Miss Josephine Grostic as chairman has served continuously and four of the original ladies are still active . They are Mrs . Calvin Gatesman , Mrs. Ruth Bennett, Mrs. Duane Myer and Mrs . Arthur Willard. Since 1960 Mrs . Lester Rider has been First Aid chairman when she inherited the office from Mrs. Ruth Willimer . She is responsible for the instructors who teach first aid to the general public and assists the instructors in organizing classes . This is an efficiently run organization that works quietly in its own area of influence. C.Needham Howell Masons By Glenn A. O'Loane Royal-Arch Masons, Livingston Chapter No. 30 On April 13, 1863, nine Companions from the Howell area petitioned Grand Chapter for a charter, which was issued to Livingston Chapter No. 30 on January 12, 1864 authorizing them to exalt Companions to the Royal Arch Degree . We have no elected Grand Officer from this Chapter . We so have one appointed Grand Officer, Right Excellent Companion Rev. Henry L. Reinewald, who is now Grand Chaplin. We do have members who have served as Grand Committeemen and other appointed offices. This Chapter has served well in York Rite Masonry and in the social life of its members . The Excellent High Priest is William D. Boffa. York Rite Masonry The York Rite in Masonry is composed of the Royal Arch Masons, the Royal and Select Masters and the Knights Templar . Membership in the lower degree is necessary to advance and maintain membership in the higher degree, except in Michigan , membership in the Royal and Select Masters is not a requisite for the Knights Templar . Membership in the Mystic Shrine may be petitioned after membership in the Knights Templar . The York Rite bodies are purposely located in large and small communities so that a Mason may advance his knowledge among his neighbors . Each member may at his option, participate in the work. He may and is encouraged to hold office and to advance to the presiding office, even to the Grand body as some of our members have done. Royal and Select Masters, Livingston Council No. 73 The first assembly of this Council was held on April 12, 1906, under dispensation from the Most Illustrious Grand Master , Bayard A. Church . The present memership · is 61, of which ten are Life Members. This Council is small in size but large in heart to keep it operating as a Masonic body should. The Cryptic degrees have many important lessons and are quite impressive . They bridge a gap between the Master Mason Degree and those of the Capitular degrees and complete a Mason's Masonic History. Keith W. Seales is the present Thrice-Illustrious Master . Order of DeMolay , Livingston County Chapter The first meeting to start the institution of this Chapter was held on Sunday, February 26, 1956 at the Howell Masonic Temple . It was attended by the Worshipful Masters and Board members of the four County Lodges. Contributions of $40.00 from each Lodge and from Masons made a total of $205.50 and an Altar Bible from Charlie Hill completed the necessary finances and furniture to start . This chapter has an outstanding record of honors granted. The Degree of Chevalier is an honor granted by the International Supreme Council for outstanding performance in behalf of the Order of DeMolay. It is the highest award granted an active DeMolay. The following members received it: Chester Cramer , Ron Emerson , Gary Henry , Darwin Liverance, Rodney Lovas, David Rossiter, Lawrence Van Slambrook, Charles Crane , Robert Hall. Tim Kiser , Andre Lovas, Stephen Lovas , Donald Trumbull , Richard Crofoot, Bruce Henry , Rick Leitz , Bela Lovas , Duane Phillips, Jerry Van Slambrook. 229 The square's the thing for nimble footed Howell Square Dancers who keep the beat to the calling of Mary Merrow . Dancers are Carl Peterson and Alida Loring, Ken Loring and Marie Emerson, Gerry Spare and Lorring Emerson and Mary Peterson and Roy Spare. Howell Square Dance Club By Mary Merrow The Howell Square Dance Club of Howell originated in the spring of 1945, during the time of World War II, and was active through the spring of 1970. Don and Helen Knapp offered the use of their building (the building was located on W. Grand River which is now Swan's Store) and the Hildred Harts offered their services as well as the use of their record player and records . The first group consisted of approximately 25 couples invited by the Knapps and Harts. Parties were held at irregular intervals. Couples volunteered to act as hosts and hostesses and refreshments were served . After several open parties, many requests to join were received and as a result the building was outgrown so a move to the Masonic Hall. There were several moves, during the years, and finally the Southwest School became the regular meeting place . Don and Helen Knapp left Howell in May of 1946a nd at that time a farewell party was held at the home of the Russell Smith's. At this meeting the members present decided to form a club and Lyle Wessenger was elected President: Dorothy Willis was elected Secretary-Treasurer . The Charter members were: The John Barrs , Paul Bennetts, Joe Bradys , William Brandts , Tyler Brogans , Noel Burnhams , Maurice Coles', Wilbur Davis ', Kennedy Davis ', Claude Devereauxs, Tom Devereauxs , Clarence Earls, Lyman Fays , Calvin Gatesmans, Tom Goldens, Hildred Harts, Bird Rights, Wilson Howletts, Fred Jappingas, Seiber Karnes, Don Knapps, Gerald McCloskeys, Robert McPhersons, Robert MacDonalds, Ned Millis', Leslie Merritts, Byron Rogers, Sam Ross', Ray Salmons, Art Smiths, Russell Smiths , Keen Stollsteimers , Harry Waldrons , Loron Willis', and Lyle Wessengers. Many things were solved at the organizational meeting of the Howell Square Dance Club held at the home of Loron and Dorothy Willis in May of 1946. Here it was decided that the membership was to be limited to 40 couples and that the active membership would pass on other couples to be admitted . Prospective members had to attend at least three parties before they became eligible for a vote to member- 230 ship. The dues were $1.00 per couple per month. Hildred Hart and Wilbur Davis were the original callers and for their services they were not required to pay dues . A little later in 1946, Mr. and Mrs . Riby Holmes were invited to become members and Mr. Holmes assumed some of the responsibility of calling. Very shortly after the official organization a committee was appointed to provide a constitution . Originally the club met the first and third Saturdays of each month-later this was changed to the second and fourth Saturdays . In Septemer of 1947, the first dinner dance party was held at Waldenwoods with 65 members and guests present. These annual parties were held for many years usually in the spring at the close of the square dance season . Early during the existence of the club, dances were held at an early hour of the same meeting date for the purpose of teaching square dancing to the children of the members . This continued for many years. Through the years, the membership changed , but always maintained a fine, fun-loving group of people. The Hildred Harts moved away from Howell and Riby Holmes became involved in square dancing activities in Fowlerville-this left Wilbur Davis as the Caller until 1964 when he moved with his family to another area . At that time "yours truly " became Caller and then Glen Eastman followed. In 1961, Paul Bennett, who was Recreation Director, through the City of Howell Recreation Department, sponsored the first Square Dance Festival for Howell and surrounding nearby areas . Several visiting Callers participated. The Festivals were very well attended and created much interest in square dancing; they became annual events for five years . Howell Square Dance Club membership was maintained through classes which were held under the direction of the Recreation Department and the membership grew-then as all good things must end-this Club as a result of many outside interests terminated at the end of the dancing season in 1970. It lived 25 years and many good things resulted from the Club, always there was good clean fun, wonderful fellowship and very fine friendships! Angela Skorski Dance Studio Angela Skorski from Redford, Michigan conducted a dance studio, first at Brighton and then at Howell for 15 to 20 years. From her first sessions to her last, she often taught two generations of students; the children of students she taught in her first years at Howell were taught in her later years. It was quite a problem to get all the students into a recital because seventy-five or more were presented in one program. Her first assistant teacher was Roberta Nakielski and the second assistant was Jeanette Lebioda. Mrs. Skorski did pageant arrangements in Dearborn and Livonia . She also did the choreography for the Flint Festival and also for the 1963 Howell Centennial program . Several of her students became dance teachers themselves. She coached the 4-H quartette of ballet dancers who won the Michigan State 4-H Talent Contest at Michigan State University in 1959. They were all Howell girls : Kathy White, Susan Schott, Ardenne Rohrabacher and Donna Simmons. 231 Young At Heart scene at the annual St. Joseph summer fa ir, 1950. 232 The Young At Heart group meets in Mildred and Paul Bennett's back yard .

Zemper Thirty years in Howell and some of the people I've known. I am not a native of Howell, having been born in Bay City and raised in Flint, but all my adult life has been spent here , and this I claim as my town. I was born in the upstairs bedroom of an aunt's house on a cold snowy November day and they couldn't get the window closed. My mother used to tell me of the snow on the foot of the bed when I came into the world. I grew up in Flint in what would now be called slum areas , but we didn't call them that because we didn't know the difference, but I always felt if I could ever work my way through college I'd never come back to a large town. I did for a while, as a metallurgical engineer at the start of the war , but since then have been a resident of Howell. Imagine , if you can, the changes that have taken place in the past fifty years - Transportation-from train for long trips and horse and buggy for short trips , to automobile and commercial airlines . From a two day trip to Detroit and back to a trip to Europe in seven hours, and men going to the moon in 2½ days. People living in mobile homes and high rise apartments, and driving in their leisure time to vacation spots in travelling homes on the great new expressways, all paved and three lanes wide each way. The phase-out of railroads to carry freight to the use of large semi-trucks to carry almost all of our cargo . Home-From large wood burning kitchen stoves to small gas and electric ranges and now starting the use of microwave ovens that cook an entire meal in a few seconds. From the iceman who saw your card in the window telling him how much ice you needed, to refrigerators and freezers to hold your frozen fruits and vegetables all winter. From kerosene lamps to some all electric homes including heat and light. From wood and coal burning space heaters in the living room to the newest heat pumps to heat the house in cold weather and cool the house in the summer . From boiling the clothes to wash them to automatic washing machines and dryers . Schools-When I first came to Howell, all of the children in the rural areas went to a one room country school through the eighth grade, and if they went further they came to town for high school which held all grades for the city kids. Now we have five elementary schools and two Intermediate schools plus the new high school. Business-The old village general stores which sold most everything , have given way to specialized businesses which sell only one type of material. The neighborhood grocery stores are all gone, replaced by large air conditioned supermarkets and shopping centers . Work- In the old days people worked twelve hours a day from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and six days a week. On Sunday they went to church in the morning and had all Sunday afternoon with nothing to do. Now most people work forty hours a week and have late afternoons and two day weekends of leisure time. And the trend is to 30 or 36 hour work weeks in the near future . Pleasure-With all the leisure time, we have changed our lives considerably . In the older days, fishing, frog hunting, or a group auto trip on a Sunday afternoon. They travelled in 236 groups or clubs to help each other out of the ditches or to change flat tires , to weekend trips for golfing, skiing or going for trips with their snowmobiles. Many people take one or two week vacations to Europe or other parts of the world. These things could not even have been dreamed of by people fifty years ago when it took two weeks just to get overseas by steamship . The coming of radio and in the last twenty-five years the part of television in our homes has changed our lives to the point where most people would never want to go back to the "good old days. " Most of these changes have come about during my life in Howell, but more important to me, are the people I have known in this little town. I decided to spend my life here, not just because my wife, Tillie, had grown up here but also because I had been on college track teams that travelled all over the country running in large meets . Whenever we travelled west to Milwaukee or Chicago or even to Nebraska for National Championship meets , we always travelled by car in those days , the coach would call ahead and we would stop on our way home at a little restaurant in Howell called the Family Restaurant. The owner at that time was Fred Cronenwett. He is gone now as is Howard Gentry who owned it later , but it is still handled by his son Bob Gentry . Fred would keep the place open till we got there and have steaks ready that hung over a twelve inch plate. It was wonderful, but I was always impressed with the trees that lined Grand River and all the other streets . I always felt that this was the town I would like to live in. It's hard to beat a beautiful town and friendly people. People I have known in Howell-Looking back over the last thirty years , I have many memories of many people. There is no way I could mention them all, but some stand out in my mind for things they did or stories they told when they would sit with me in my studio and talk . Some were doctors or professional people, some were just ordinary guys, many are gone now but I've loved them all and cherish the memories . First of all should be Willie Wright, one of the few colored people we've had in town. We're supposed to call them black people now, but no matter , he was a great guy. Born in Alabama he came to Howell in the 30's and made his living cleaning business places and washing windows. Willie was one of my favorite subjects, a very religious man, I could get almost any expression I needed by quoting something from the Bible. The most famous picture I took of Willie was in 1966w hich was chosen as the top portrait print in the U.S. and was on the cover of the photographers national magazine . J made a large pictue of it framed it and took it over to his house one afternoon. He cried and offered me a glass of his homemade beer. The beer was terrible but we had a nice talk . Another picture of Willie was rated best in Michigan and I had it in the studio window. Coming back from a commercial job I found him washing the windows and looking at his picture inside. I took a shot of that which was on the cover of our state magazine. Willie was a great guy and before he died at 96, Francis Barron organized a large party for him at the Elks Lodge at $10.00 a ticket. He had a wonderful time with teiegrams from the governor and senators everywhere. Fred Server had a beard all the time I knew him, long before the young people with their long hair and beards of Judge Henry Harmon Henry H. Harmon (1823-1884), younger brother of Amarilla A . Harmon, was born in Manchester, Ontario County, New York and came to Michigan with his parents . He lived in Novi until 1847 when he came to Howell to teach the winter term in the Howell High School. He commenced reading law in the office of Lewis H . Hewett and was admitted to the Bar of Michigan in 1849. He was a law partner of Dennis Shields, father of Edward and Frank Shields, who were also lawyers in Howell some years later . Henry Harmon was Circuit Court Commissioner in 1852, Prosecuting Attorney in 1854 and Judge of Probate in 1864, practicing law for thirty-five years. He was a member of Howell Lodge No. F and AM, Worshipful Master in 1854-1855, a Charter member of the Livingston Chapter No . JO, of the Royal Arch Mason on April 16, 1863. He was also a member of Howell Commandery , No. 28, of Knights Templar , which was organized April 7, 1870. The following are a few words said of Judge Henry Harmon by his law partner , Dennis Shields, " From the time I first made his acquaintance down to the time of his death, the most friendly feeling has existed between us. In all of my mingling with men and members of the bar I never met one who so completely filled the measure of a first class lawyer and gentleman as did Judge Harmon . He probably had no superior in the state of Michigan, in the preparation of written cases on briefs where writings were necessary. Judge Cooley paid him the compliment of saying that he presented to the Supreme Court as finely prepared papers as any man that came into court from any part of the state." recent years . This made him unusual along with the fact that he rode a bicycle everywhere, even to Detroit , and he never wore socks. Fred never married , didn' t drink , smoke or swear , but the thing most people remember him for was that he would, on occasion, walk on his hands-uphill the entire block in front of the courthouse or down at the beach. Fred had a homemade house on the lake where the boat landing is now, and everyda y he would take a dip in the lake, winter and summer . In the winter he would chop a hole in the ice and dive in. One day the kids playing hockey on the lake talked him into making two holes, to dive into one and come up the other . He tried it but couldn't find the other hole. The kids were worried and one went for the police. Fred was smart and kept his nose up to the ice for the small air area above the water and was able to breathe . When the police came , they could see the dark area where he was and topped the ice toward the hole so that he could get out. At that point the police put a stop to his winter dipping. I took many pictures of Fred which were hung in national exhibits. He was a great model. Joe Carey-Joe is another great little fellow who never married , didn't smoke, drink or swear . He played the part of "Popeye " on the stage in the waning days of vaudeville . A tiny little fellow with a hippety hop walk, I took a picture of him which hung in many national exhibits . He works summers up here on golf courses , but has a house in Florida where he spends the winter because he loves to fish. While in Florida he goes to elementar y schools and children 's hospitals and puts on his acts for the kids-and never takes a penny for anything . Just one of the real good guys. L.E. (Pat) May M.D. Doctor May, or "Pat May" as ever yone knows him- Wow! I could write a book about him. One of the civic leaders , he organized more things and got more people working than anyone I've ever known. He thought up the idea for a Melon Festival , organized committees , and let them do the work, and- Bingo-we had a Melon Festival. That was in 1959, and we still have a Festival every year . The last few years he got the J .C.'s working on it and they're doing a great job. We could use more men like Pat , someone who has the ideas and gets a lot of other people together to get the job done. I remember , one time many years ago , he was so well liked by many of his patients that they staged a parade in front of his house, complete with floats and all , for his birthday . Brayton Kirk Not many people in town probably remember Bra yton as a young man . Some know him now as a shuffling grey haired man who used to run the projector at the Howell Theater . What most people don't know is that he was a genius with radio and television equipment , was a national member of A.S.C., had a pilot' s license, and a " hard hat " deep sea divers license. His house still is a maze of collections of everything to the point where it's difficult to even walk through . He saves everything. He could have the biggest flea market in Michigan. Willis Lyons I talked of Judge Lyons in the first book, how he was officially dead of Yellow Fever and yet survived , in the Spanish American War. The judge came into the studio about once a month and told stories for an hour or so, for many years . One of his favorite stories was about a woman who lived on orth Michigan Ave. and was the state president of the W.C.T.U. (Womens Christian Temperance Union) who were 237 the backbone behind the prohibition movement . So-when prohibition was going to be in effect the next morning, all eleven bars in Howell had to get rid of all their whiskey. Many , many citizens in town were buying it up for thirty cents a gallon if they brought their own jugs . Willis and a friend gathered up 32 jugs which they filled with water and a little food coloring to make it look like whiskey, and after midnight they placed them all on the front porch of the State President of the W.C.T.U. People driving their buggies down Michigan Ave. to work the next morning , saw the jugs on the porch, but Willis said the outraged state president never knew who put them there. Stan Herriman Stan has been an attorney, a prosecuting attorney and a municipal judge in our little community for many , many years. I like Stan because of his wry humor which is always evident. Years ago he took a small movie camera, which he knew nothing about, and drove to Cohoctah-twelve miles north of town. He took pictures all the way, of cows on fences , pigs with their litters-anything he saw . He called the movie " My Trip to Cohoctah" and showed it to many service clubs etc. adding many anecdotes about the people in the audience to make a hillarious show. I remember him telling me one time that a client of his, Tom Kizer Sr., had asked him to write a dunning letter to someone . Stan wrote the letter , telling the man that T. Kizer was a friend of his, and that if he didn't pay the bill, Tom would not let him swim in his pool anymore. He paid the bill. Dr. Harry Huntington Here is another man that I could write a book about, one of the greatest guys I ever knew. Harry Huntington was a third generation doctor in Howell. His office was in the north west corner of the main four, first door past the old McPherson Bank. Tillie and I were living about a mile west of town, just this side of the present High school with her father Eric Reiner . I used to jog into town for evening appointments and jog back . When Doc's light was on, I often stopped in to chat. In the summer he would be sitting behind his desk with his shirt off, just an undershirt on because of the heat, and he would say , " What would you like? " Then he would go back in the back room and pour a martini into paper cups from his refrigerator full of drugs and medicines and we would sit and talk about what went on during the day . Tillie and I had two sons, Rich and Steve and she wanted a girl , but we didn't think it would happen . Then one day, Tillie was in the old hospital, where McPherson Bank is now and Harry called me and said "Get over there ." I had farther to go, so I got there after him . He was going up the elevator , so I ran up the three flights to the maternity ward and he was coming out of the elevator with his shirt off and ready to work. He asked me if I wanted to come in and help but I said no, I'd just watch through the screen door of the delivery room . In a few minutes he called out- "You wanted a girl-you got one." I said, "You're kidding," and he came through the screen door, spread the baby 's legs apart and said-"Believe me now?" Sherm Jubb Sherm too, was·just a nice little guy who was an insurance man and really liked to fish through the ice at his cottage in the winter . Sherm also liked to spend a few hours every once in a while telling me stories about the olden days . His father owned the building on the northeast corner of Michigan and Sibley which was an implement shop. He told me about the paving of Grand River and many other things, but his 238 The Burhances Guy W. Burhance born 1835, Washtenaw County, and Frances D. Davis, born 1845, Portland Mich., married 1866. Their farm home was just west of Howell. Later they bought a farm at Coral, Mich. They were maternal grandparents of Mrs . Howard Grostic (deceased), Mrs . Carl Harding, and Mrs . Harlow Pless. Old Livingston Submitted for a Community Song by Verian A. Ball of Deerfield Tune, Yankee Doodle. Come sing a song of Livingston, The county of this state sir, Where everything goes nicely on, And always up to date sir. Chorus 0 Livingston, we'er strong for you, Livingston, our county, From your hills to lakes so blue, We reap a gorgeous bounty. We have sixteen townships here, In this grand old creation, And every one has many t'hin.g'i. To give us inspiration. Chorus We have one nice city too, And several smaller towns, sir. They all are growing I'll tell you, And never will go down, sir. Chorus The farmers of old Livingston Breed world's best Holstein (cattle, And with that aim have won their (fame In many a hard-fought battle. Chorus Then let us give a rousing cheer For this grand old creation; For Livingston, our county dear, The best one in the nation. Chorus favorite story was when he was fourteen years old, he and a friend had been watching workers repair a roof with tar . They found they could chew chips of the tar and it became soft like chewing gum. The Presbyterian Church was on Sibley Street at that time, so they pushed the soft tar into the keyholes of the church. That was Saturday night, the next morning the janitor couldn't unloc~ the church doors, and no one could get into the church. The janitor suspected who had done it and called Sherm's dad, and his dad met him with a razor strap behind the barn. Dr. E.A. (Sam) Ross Sam Ross was a dentist in town. A very likeable fellow with an acute sense of humor. When Sam moved south of town on the Pinckney Road, the nice little home he moved into, had an outhouse. He decided against an indoor bathroom and one day with a gathering of many of his closest friends, he laid the cornerstone of his new outhouse-complet~O feet from the kitchen , with the Scottish Ross plaid on the seats, a switch in the house which turned on a heater above the seats and turned on the lights. It had a magazine rack and all the emergency material that a plush outhouse could ever have. It even had a radio outlet with soft music . Sam did many things for this town. He served on the city council, on the school board, and while president of the Rotary Club he started the original bathhouse and swimming area at the lake for all the kids in town. We should mention some of the ladies in Howell. They didn't come in and tell me stories of the old days , but a couple of them come to mind for helping the young people of the l ·t.r..• rser titf~iaets community . First , of course, must be Florence Warner , a High School teacher here for more than fifty years. She was a good teacher, a strict disciplinarian and remembered fondly by all who studied under her. Another I recall was Betty Cook. She liked young people and for years adopted the basketball team and had them over to her house for a snack before every home ball game . Years after when they were grown and had families , one of them noticed that her house looked pretty bad . They all got together one Saturday morning with paint and brushes and painted her house, trimmed the bushes and yard and spruced it up real nice. It was just a "Thank You" for all the nice things Betty Cook had done for them. Speaking of things people do for the town, who could ever compile the many things that Mike Hagman has done for this area. It would take a book in itself to enumerate all of the nice things that Mike has done, and of course there is no way he could have done it all without the constant help of his wonderful wife, Ruby. Many of our former Mayors devoted most of their lives to this Community usually with much sacrafice to their business. Eric Reiner, my wife's father started the Lakeview Cemetery and the rebuilding of the sewage system with the help of the ever-present Karl Welcher . Burt Woodhams, Charles Sutton, and Cliff Heller did so many things for this town that there is no way the town coulq ever repay them . These are some of the things I remember of the thirty years I've spent in Howell. It has been the better part of my life-It has been my life. A share of stock in the Livingston County Fair Association in 1914. By 1947, semi -trucks were beginning to replace the railroads as the big freight haulers . But when a bad snowstorm came in , they had to wait for the roads to be cleared. 240 Mary Brigham, the first woman doctor in the area comes with her cutter to make a house call. Across the street from the old Catholic Church at Fleming and Grand River, Paul Bennett made up a skating rink in front of the old wooden Catholic school. Howell City Council bought this new snow removal machine in 1947. Howell Artists Charles Charles E. Schafer was born in 1914 on a farm near Pinckney in Livingston County. Schafer attended High School in Howell and then Michigan State College. There followed two years of study at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and a year later at the Art 1n stitute of Chicago. Later he studied under Harvey Dunn at the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York City. He returned to Michigan to accept a position with the state as Staff Artist for the Conservation Department in the Education Division where he has remained over 30 years. In 1947 the Conservation Department published his annual drawings "Michigan Wildlife Sketches", now in its eighth edition and still used by all Michigan schools. Schafer is art editor of the state magazine "Michigan Natural Resources" and still resides in Livingston County on a farm near Pinckney. 244 Shirley Radloff Being the wife of heating contractor Clarence H. Radloff and the mother of two active children, Christoper age 13 and Shelly s, should be enough to keep this area artist busy. Granted a scholarship to a private art school, she studied 4 years at the William Pachner School of Art and three at Florida Gulf Coast Art Center in Clearwater, Florida . . . Having studied techniques of renaissance and modern artists alike she is comfortable with both. Winter scape, a dark stormy sky, some endangered species or even a typical midwest landscape. Whatever seems to intrigue and facinate her, captures the stroke of her brush . Having spent the last 14 years restoring the over 100-year-old farm house in which they reside, both Shirley and Clarence enjoy creating art objects from primitive patterns, tin ware, pine furniture or even producing primative wooden toys and dolls for children. When not extremely busy Shirley restores damanged paintings for dealers and ga llerys. I The Davises, Dari, Isabel and daughter Joan moved to Howell from Detroit in 1936 and found it truly "A Good Place to Live." Isabel was a charter member of the Livingston Art Association and exhibited in all of their shows until the spring of 1967 when their choice of a place for retirement became Fairhope, Alabama where Isabel has been active in the Eastern Shore Art Association which has a membership of around 800. She has also participated in the Mobile Outdoor Shows and exhibited extensively. Her oil paintings hang in several states. Among artists with whom she has studied are John Szekes, the nationally famous Cleveland Woodward and Howell's very own noted James Ross. 245 Ella Hagman Ella L. Hagman is a long time resident of Howell. She came here in 1913 to play the piano for the silent movie theatre, then met her husband to be, John A . Hagman and they were married in 1916. John became Livingston County Clerk in 1914 and remained in that position for 48 years. They were the parents of three children, Louise, Pauline and Gerald, all of whom are still residents of Howell. Ella has played piano for a number of organizations over the years. She played for St. John's Episcopal Church for 15 years, for the Eastern Star for 35 years and for some years, she played for the White Shrine. She was also president of the Young at Hearts Club for two years . St. John's Church has been her home church for many years and she has served as President of the Episcopal Church Women and of St. John's Guild as well as heading many projects there over the years . China painting has been her main hobby, altho she did some oil painting and ceramics. She did such beautiful work she could have become a professional. Those people who have samples of her work will treasure them always . 246 Jean Rasegan A local artist, Jean Rasegan, life-time resident of the Howell area, only began to pursue her interest in the arts in recent years. She was born to Adnah and Ina Nicholson in Cohoctah Township in 1922. She attended the Graham Country School and enjoyed pencil sketching as a young girl. Married to George Rasegan in 1940, she raised five children, herself the youngest of five children. She enjoyed informal flower gardening and vegetable gardening, doing home-canning for many years. She sewed for her family, knitted and crocheted. She also assisted her husband in his business. weaving colorful, traditional rag rugs from hand-sewn rags became a pastime when she obtained a large, two-treadle floor loom . Mrs. Rasegan completed her high school education and received her diploma in 1970. The same year she studied painting under Dorothy Gheen, Livingston Arts and Crafts Association member and teacher. With her encouragement, Jean studied painting and lifedrawing at Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit under Tony Williams in 1971 through 1972. This was followed by a class in painting under Marcy Gross at Oakland Community College and also Guy Palazzola and David Sharp at the Ann Arbor Art Association. Her painting "Winter Oak" was accepted and shown at the Rackham Building in the 51st members' show of the Ann Arbor Art Association. Jean enjoyed painting landscapes primarily, which were done in warm, subdued tones with a delicate touch. She liked to work from photographs she had taken herself in the local area. Mrs . Rasegan participated in Livingston Arts and Crafts functions, displaying her oil-paintings, water-colors, macrame and weaving at Christmas Bazaars, crafts functions and the Outdoor Summer Shows during the Melon Festival. She was the treasurer for that organization from 1973 until 1976 when illness curtailed her activities. She died at home in March, 1976 of cancer . Leland Edward Moffitt was born on October 26, 1904 in Lebanon, Connecticut. He studied at Pratt Institute, under Franklin Schoonover, Frederick Taubs and Wallace Bassford. He lived in Howell from 1962-1968. He was Past President and one of the original members of Livingston County Art and Craft Association. He retired to Cape Cod. He is teaching two classes a week. 247 Dorothy Hampton Walter and Dorothy Hampton, with daughters Janet and Heather, moved to Howell in 1960, when Walter assumed the position of Livingston Intermediate School Superintendent and Dorothy taught at Southwest School. In 1963 the family was in an automobile accident, which left Dorothy with paralysis and in a wheel chair. Four years later, when Lee Moffitt was teaching an oil painting class at the Recreation Center, Dorothy joined the class to become acquainted with the medium . She had done some water-color painting many years before, but had never used oils. Ever since that time she has been painting quite regularly. She paints still-life, floral arrangements and landscapes, and has sold many of her works. Her favorite landscapes depict the natural and rare beauty of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where both she and Walter were born and raised. Painting on location would please her the most, but as this is usually impossible she resorts to painting from photographs taken by her husband. She especially enjoys trying to capture the true color and fragrance of a bowl of fresh flowers. Dorothy has shown in many art shows and has won several honors for her paintings. She has been a member of the Livingston Arts and Crafts Association, along with her husband, for nearly ten years. 248 "The Table," painted by Jayne Day Williams with thumb and finger. Oil on masonite . 18" by 22" . Portrayed in warm shades of gold, orange and purple . Photography by Ken Weed Jayne Day Williams Jayne Day Williams doesn't paint just because she likes to-she indulges in her favorite art form because she has to. "I get hungry to paint," she says. Her style is romantic realism, with soft or vibrant hues forming a portrait, still life or landscape. Her interest in oil painting started back in high school in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. She had an art teacher who was "very encouraging." From there, she went on to Ohio University to obtain her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree . It was there that she developed her realistic style. Her instructors taught her, "The world as it stands is beautiful." After graduating, Jayne spent 1S years using her artistic talents for community activities. She and her husband and daughters moved frequently during that time . Jayne has three daughters. She says they and her husband have been very cooperative and encouraging of her art work. The Williams family came to Howell 17 years ago. "This is our last stop," Jayne notes. She has spent years researching and restoring the buildings on their 20 acres. She has continued with her art education. She spent a year studying water colors at Eastern Michigan University. Then she taught reading to slow learners in Howell for six years. Afterward, she attended the Society of Arts and Crafts in Detroit for two years. "It was marvelous," Jayne says of the experience . She studied life painting (portraiture), which has become her favorite subject . In December of 197S, the artist opened The Wooden Indian, an antique shop in which she also sells her paintings . It ' s located in the carriage house next to her home at 3787 Byron Rd . She has monochromatics, still lites and landscapes on display . Jayne has also shown her work at the Hartland Art Show, the Birmingham Art Fair, the Golden Gallery in Brighton, the Bloomfield-Birmingham Art Association Spring Art Exhibit, the Annual Melon Festival, and the Livingston County Christmas Bazaar. She has been a member of the Livingston County Art~ and Crafts Association for the past eight years, serving as its vice-president for six years. She is also on the Hartland Art Council and in the Bloomfield-Birmingham Art Association. Presently, Jayne is studying with Johanna Haas, a German life painter. She has encouraged the romantic use of color in Jayne's paintings, with more vibrant tones resulting. Jayne believes an artist must put feeling into his work "to really produce a painting." She is grateful for the people and experiences she has encountered, because she feels they have made her more compassionate in her life and her art . "You really have to be able to see beyond the surface," Jayne explains. "I think it's a real challenge to be able to capture the real person, not the shell. I would never paint anyone that I didn't visit with ." Of the future, Jayne says she wants to keep studying. She is eager to spend the rest of her life painting, learning and mastering her technique.

They have five grandchildren. 252 I was born in New York state on a dairy farm and lived most of my childhood and teen years in southern New Jersey, where I received most of my education. After moving to Michigan with my family. I met and married Lawrence Bamber, a promising young dairy farmer, in 1929. We have four children : three daughters, Ellie Shappirio of Ann Arbor, Mary Ann Smith of Walled Lake, and Nancy Eisele of Kinde; and a son, William, of Howell, who is carrying on the dairy business . We have ten grandchildren: Richard, Fred, and Tim Eisele, Susan and Mark Shappirio, John and Samuel Smith, and Kathleen, Carrie, and Daniel Bamber. I was a 4-H leader and a councilor for Methodist Youth Fellowship for several years . I am a member of the United Methodist Women and Grace Guild Circle of the Oak Grove United Methodist Church, and for the past ten years I have been a member of the Red Cross volunteers , working as a Grey Lady . My wish to try oil painting gave the children a clue for a Christmas gitt in 1967. A complete painting set with art instruction books started me on a new and interesting hobby . With several short courses, study Bozena Granowski Bozena Granowski received her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Michigan State University . She also studied painting in Perugla, Italy. Currently, she is completing her Master of Fine Arts in graphics at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland . Her works have been exhibited at Student Shows at M.S.U . ; a juried exhibition "Polish American Artists" at The Galerla in Orchard Lake, and "1776 plus 200" art exhibit at the Scarab Club In Detroit. Ms . Granowski's paintings, primarily abstract landscapes, incorporate forms wh ich seem to flow beyond the picture frame, a feeling which is enhanced by carefully selected and harmonious colors. Her paintings are not about color; rather, the color interacts with the forms to set a mood. and practice, I soon learned that landscapes , seascapes , old farm homes and old churches are my favorite subjects . After we retired from farming and settled in our new home on Clyde Road, we did quite a bit of traveling. I took slides of all the interesting places for possible future paintings . To try to reproduce in oils the beauty around us that God has wrought is indeed a great challenge and pleasure . ELVIRA BAMBER 253 \ ) • \ ) Gerald Johnson is a self-taught artist whose works have appeared in most of the major art shows in Michigan since 1972 including the Michigan Focus and Michigan Survey Shows. His work has also been exhibited in various museums throughout the country including the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, California; and Ball State University Art Gallery in Muncie, Indiana . Reviews of his work have appeared In the "Detroit News," the "Detroit Free Press," and the "Lansing State Journal." Johnson is currently a member of the Willis Gallery located in the Fisher Building in Detroit. His current work shows a childlike ability to strip the chrome and pretense from modern humanity offering the viewer an uncompromising portrait of the cruel passions fueling modern man. Gerald Johnson had all his schooling in Howell, graduating in 1963. 256 I have lived in Howell for the last ten years and I have been painting and printmaking for the last six . I graduated from Howell High School and received a degree in art from Oakland University In 1973. I am pleased to be included in this bicentennial project as a member of the art community, and although as of yet I have no long list of credits or distinguished career about which to boast, I am glad for this recognition. Just a word about the type of work I do ... I find crisp geometric shapes and bold color exciting and occupying as a format . The painting pictured here is one of a series of shaped canvases which give the illusion of a three dimensional geometric object. The image is bold and direct. Illusion strives to become reality. Creativity and personal expression must play an ever increasing role in our society for they are the only ways to combat noninvolvement and anonymity prevalent in our society. We are always so content to let someone else do our thinking and decision making . Our rightto personal expression is one of the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution . Ben Davis Benton Walter Davis-born in Cleveland, Ohio, September 15, 1901, schools, Bob Hope was a couple of years behind me at Fairmount Grammar School. (He was then, of course, Les Hope) . East Tech High School . Then two years at Cornell, finally finishing and graduating AB 1925, LLB 1927 at Western Reserve University. Started engineering , swung to arts, ended up i n law and eight years of practice in Cleveland. Then , following a hobby , the stock market, spent the next 35 years in Wall Street as a broker and writer of my weekly market letter, " Ben Dav is Says ." Wrote my book , "Dow 1000" in 1955 when the Dow was only 400. Letter and book led to many interesting clients, among them Capt . Eddie Rickenbacher , Adolphe Menjou, Bennett Cerf . Between families I lived as a bachelor for eight years in an unbelievable _penthouse atop an old business building, now pre-empted by the Twin Towers of the Port Authority, on the west end of New York's Fulton Street with the most wonderful view of the Hudson, Statue of Liberty, etc ., with only a short walk to my office at One Wall Street , with Mitchell , Hutchins & Co. It was here that I began my avocation in abstract painting . Having done some earlier work with brush and palette and finding it satisfying, I decided to see if Jackson Pollock and others in the new abstract field were not having more fun. 1 found that they were and, out in the sunshine on my penthouse roof garden, I turned out a number of paint ings, mostly on wood or mason - ite and using exotic colors in enamel paints . When I left New York I brought on a number of paintings, having to leave some behind in a Long Island barn . My w ife , Doris Crouse Davis thought I should loan the 4' x6' painting entitled "Blue Monsoon" to the new blue room at the Howell Library where it seems to fit into the color scheme . Now , it may help to remember that abstract painting differs from all other painting in that it is not a copy of something, a face , a land - scape , etc., but it is a creating in itself involving color, line, form and even perhaps an illusion of motion. Truly the only test of abstract art is "Do you like it?" And as for the raccoon coat which seems to be the only one extant in Howell, it is indeed a prize and undoubtedly dates back to about 1920. It became mine around 1955 in New York City at a summer sale of used raccoon coats at Macy's . It has been refurbished a couple of times and was never appreciated more than during this last brutal winter of 1975-1976. Greatly enjoying "retirement" here in Howell at our lovely "Easy Acres."

Paul Bennett for his unselfish service in recreation for the Howell Community. May 24, 1970 was declared Paul Bennett Day. Howell Recreation Center The Howell Recreation Center is a facility for use by the residents, old and young alike, of the City of Howell and adjacent townships , who participate in the recreation program according to the requirements prescribed by the City of Howell Recreation Commission. The program for the facility will be administered by the Recreation Commission and supervised by the Director, Paul Bennett . The Howell Recreation Center is dedicated to the citizens of the Howell area, the people who will use and enjoy it. The heartfelt thanks of the Howell Parks Foundation are extended to all of the many individuals and business firms who contributed financially to make this project a success, and even more to those who not only gave their dollars but gave of their time and talent to make this program possible . On this date, December 12, 1965 it is the distinct pleasure of the Board of Directors and the Building Committee of the Howell Parks Foundation to turn the keys of this fine facility over to the City of Howell and the Recreation Commission. We are confident that these will be the keys to many happy hours for our citizens . 260 A DREAM COME TRUE The Howell Area Recreation Center is truly a dream come true for many citizens of the Howell area . For years , since the city first became involved in recreation affairs, it has been the hope of those involved in the program to have a new facility in which to conduct a diversified recreation program . These people dreamed of some individual or business who would one day give them the money or of the day when tax dollars might be available for this purpose . Such a dream was never to be fulfilled . As we look back , the first glimmer of hope came when a special committee of the Howell Jaycees developed the idea that was to become the Howell Parks Foundation . This committee formed the foundation and carried out several small projects to aid the recreation program. They sought to bring about one large cooperative group which would be dedicated to the development of recreational facilities of all kinds in the city . Having been rebuffed for various reasons on several large projects , the foundation slowly "ran out of gas " and Mildred Bennett making change for some of the regular junior high students at the Friday night get together, first two years of Rec . Center. became quite inactive . Reactivation of the Howell Parks Foundation was crystalized by the Howell Centennial Committee which was in search of a worthwhile cause to which they could donate any funds that m ight be left in their treasury after the celebration . These funds never came, but the crystallization was complete and the foundation hustled into action despite the lack of dollars . Members were added, advice was sought , and activities were increased to develop a fund raising program that would provide the dollars to build a recreation center . After many meetings a steering committee of noted citizens was formed to help guide the project and prov ide adv i ce to the board of directors . After due consideration it was decided that the successful drive for funds could best be achieved by hiring professional help . This was done and a full time director was assigned to the project by the professional firm . His job turned out to be more than a full time job and many volunteers became almost full time workers for the foundation and for the cause . Follow ing the prescribed formula , hundreds of local citizens were asked to participate in the fund raising activities . Most of them responded and the fulfillment of a dream began to take shape for the first time . The Foundation Board , working hand in hand with the City Council and the Recreat ion Commission received suggestions and recommendations from these groups and determined the general plan for the build i ng and other facilities . The site of the McPherson Browning home had been purchased by the city for this very purpose and it was agreed that this would be the ideal site for the center . A goal of $175,000 was set as the figure which would provide adequate funds to do the job right. The hundreds of workers who had volunteered to assist did a magnificent job and dollars began to roll in . Three year pledges represented the bulk of the gifts, many with initial payments in - Although the goal of S17S,OOOh as not yet been reached, the board is still soliciting funds and every week new donations are received . Follow -up committees have contacted many new people in the area and have called back on those who said that they would " wait and see" before they would commit themselves. To date the total amount pledged is nearly $165,000. Any and all donations are still most welcome and will help the Foundation complete the job they intend to do. When it was determined that enough pledges had been made to actually move ahead on the project , a Building Committee was ap - pointed to carry out the final plann ing , design and construction of the building, which had been assigned the top priority in the overall project . The outdoor facilities would come later as payments on pledges came in . Arr iving at the time of groundbreaking was a long , tedious job for the Building Comm ittee. Hundreds of decis ions had to be made and many hours of work with the architect and eventual contractors were necessary before the first brick would be placed. At long last contracts were awarded and ground was broken on April 11, 196S. All during this time money was pouring i n to pay the bills which would soon accumulate . Many progress reports and committee meetings were held to assure all concerned that enough dollars would be available to meet the payment of bills . Letters, phone calls and personal contacts were used to urge people to pay their pledges in full , if possible or to at least keep their payments up to date, if behind . Reasonable success was achieved , construction continued and all bills have been paid to date . Now that the building is completed, several thousand dollars will have to be borrowed to make final payments, but past performance indicates that the loan can be paid off in a reasonable time. 261 eluded. Donations of services, merchandise and equipment swelled the total. The results were most gratifying. Now we have arrived at the dedication of the Howell Recreation Center. No words can express the thanks to those who have given so !11u~~ of their time and talent to make this project possible. Many 1nd1v1~uals have given hundreds of hours of their time while others have given a~ hour or two. It takes all kinds of people to do this kind of a voluntary 10b and certainly the citizens of the Howell area can be proud of the fact that th~r_e are those who are ready and willing to make the necessary sacrifices that result in another fine addition to our com~unity. Your active participation in the recreation program now, and 1n years to come will provide all the thanks that these people need to justify the effort they have expended.

Early Michigan State Police Movie Heroes ... or the big time movies come to Howell By Harriett Faussett Brogan The year was 1917-18. Thomas J. Faussett known nationally as "America's Foremost Jewelry Auctioneer," was closing out a fine store in Anniston, Alabama. Faussett whose ancestors settled in Livingston County in 1836p rided himself on the fact he was a direct descendent of Samuel Huntington, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Appearing at a theater near the store in Anniston was the famous movie star Romaine Fielding, who had been chosen at one time top actor, at the same time America's darling , Mary Pickford was chosen leading female star. Romaine's career was launched back in the Pop Lubin days. One of his greatest starring rolls was in, "The Eagles Nest." One day he attended the auction Tom was conducting to listen to the man he later declared was stealing his audiences away with his entertaining, ably spoken ways. A great friendship developed between the two men and so before Fieldings personal appearance was finished and Tom's sale completed Romaine had pursuaded Tom they could form a movie company in Faussett's home town Howell, Mich. They were convinced they would set the place on the map historically and make a fortune for all concerned. They arrived there in time for the family Christmas dinner and soon Romaine was settled down comfortably in the Faussett home. The town was genuinely excited to think a famous movie star was in their midst. In about three weeks time the movie company was formed . It was called "Mich. Production Corp." It was soon passed on by the Michigan Securities Commission and the sale of stock began . Tom handled the stock sale while Romaine set about to assemble the case in New York, Hollywood and locally. Faussett was made President, Dorr Frisbie Secretary & Treasurer. He was an ambitious handsome young man from a well-known Livingston County family. The Board of Directors consisted of prominent local business men. The stock sold fast and about the middle of June 1917 the production of the movie, "The Rich Slave" began. Romaine had cast himself as the leading man. Other stars in leading rolls were Mable Talliferro, popular Broadway star, June Day another Broadway darling and Jimmy a child prodigy from the New York stage. Other equally well-known actors were hired including Emil LaCroix, star of "Beast of Berlin." Also a member of the celebrated Standish family of actors. The whole town of Howell was alive with excitement and this increased even more when it was learned local people would be used. Mayor Sutton's baby daughter Caroline was to be in one scene and Matilda Kruger , daughter of a prominent grocer would also appear. But most important of all, Michigan's dashing mounted Police unit headed by Capt. Olander, a handsome man known for his great courage would join the case as Western Cowboys. Howell opened her arms to all the cast and the McPherson Family even opened up his home for their stay . Most of the movie shots were taken right around the town, some in the local High School and others in the log cabin located on the Tubb's property next door neighbors of the Faussett family. The action shots using the cowboys (Michigan State Police) was filmed on land now known as Kensington Park near Brighton . There was a log cabin there owned by the Labardie family, and this is where the State Police made their appearances as movie star heroes, performing admirably all types of outstanding horsemanship. The cabin had been renamed , "Buck Horn Hotel" and supposedly is still standing. Labardy also acted in one of the scenes. The author of the script was a writer named Lonnergen, famous for his million dollar mysteries. He worked night and day to keep up with the shooting of the picture . When all the outdoor shots were finished the stars left to continue shooting in New York. Many re-do's were necessary and the script was re-written many times. By late fall the agent handling the sale of the picture turned down a very substantial offer by a London buyer thinking a better one would come from one of the large studios in this country. Realizing his error in judgement he tried to accept the London offer later, but it was withdrawn . After the agents failure to sell the film, Faussett's close friend, James Oliver Curwood, of Owosso, Mich. called Tom to offer assistance . Curwood, famous author and highest paid writer by the word at that time was familiar with influential show people and producers, for several of his books had been made into movies. He was certain he could sell the picture and solve the problem as he felt it was a fine production . Using their own funds Tom and Jim went to New York to try and make the necessary contacts. Jim even wired a thousand dollars to a prominent director in Hollywood for him to come to New York to discuss the situation . Curwood offered to give one of his stories without cost to be produced on behalf of the corporation but the stock-holders confidence was gone and the Board of Directors said, "No." So this wonderful gesture of friendship was never carried out and no buyer could be found. And our heroes , the Mich. State Police's acting careers along with local actors and actresses came to a close. And the stills of "The Rich Slave; " are all that remains of this era in Michigan history and the first movie made in this state. Years later the Faussett family heard from Fielding by letters and autographed pictures attesting to his come-back starring as the lead in "Shepard of the Hills," with John Boles, Molly O'Day, Alex Francis, Matheu Betz and others famous in their own right. Fielding passed awa y at the young age of 45 just before "The Shepard of the Hills" was released, either from complications of a recent face-lift operation or from an infected tooth. The stills from this six-part melodrama have been donated to the Michigan State Police to be on display in their new archives. Sgt. Ray Valley in charge of the archives was able to identify the hats , guns and uniforms on the mounted police in the stills and this group of State Police were the very first unit in our State. This article was written by Harriett Faussett Brogan, only daughter of Thomas J. Faussett, the President of, "The Production Company of Michigan." Faussett passed away April 1961. She recalls that as a small child the making of the movie was without a doubt one of the most exciting time Howell residents ever had happen to them. Fielding and his wife lived with the Faussett family during the filming and the little girl heard many inside stories about early movie making in Hollywood. 281 A red sedan stands in front of the Floyd and Hazel Love home.

Why we call it Thompson Lake My Great Great Grandfather Ezra Thompson was married to Margaret Morris, daughter of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence . They had three boys namely Lewis , Edward and Moses Thompson . Moses Thompson was blessed with two girls and one boy , namely Mrs. Alvin Crittinden, Mrs . Ezra Frisbee and Morris Thompson. Many years have lapsed since my Great Grandfather, Moses Thompson started his first saw mill into operation in the vear 1836. This was built by Moses Thompson on the East quarter of Section 2S on the stream which forms the outlet for that body of water which is now called Thompson Lake in his Honor. Originally here were three lakes or ponds connected by the dam across the outlet. This all submerged forming the beautiful lake which we all have enjoyed for so many years . This submerged land was donated by him . Edward Thompson a grandson of Moses Thompson donated a half block for the County buildings. Morris Thompson lived on the old Homestead until his death. His Son in law, Judson A . Walker later sold a portion to the city for recreation purposes now known as the Howell City Park . R. B. McPherson donated the land for the entrance of the park . We regret not being able to find a portrait of Moses Thompson. We are including one of Morris Thompson a son of Morris Thompson . Thomas A . Walker 314 Bulk Agent Robert Freeman Burden was bulk agent for Standard Oil Co. in Livingston County for many years. His first oil wagon in 1910 was pulled with horses. He would sometimes start at four o'clock in the morning to make deliveries throughout the county . Standard was the only oil company located here. Picture shows oil wagon and Lyle Burden . Sprungtown Delivery In 1914 he purchased a Republic truck built in Alma, Michigan. It was the first standard tread ever made. All other trucks at that time were ten inches wider than a wagon track and couldn't get through the county dirt roads . The truck had no windshield; straps were attached to roof and hood. Later a wood framed windshield was installed . Picture shows 'Freem' Burden with Will Trowbridge owner of general store at Sprungtown. Lois Gehringer 315 I Sunday afternoon dr ive .

Schools Balk At Changes In Boundaries BRIGHTON — The deadline for the Intermediate School Boundary Proposal is drawing near, and proposed boundary changes provided main topics of conversation at both the HoweU and Brighton school board meetings last week. Hie Brighton board, which hadn't received a report from its representatives to the reorganization committee since September, was completely surprised by the Howell proposal for a boundary change. According to the Howell plan, Brighton would be given half of the Sirfcenstock district, which inchides three trailer courts and a new school. The prospect of the additional students from the Birkenstock district was not welcomed by the Brighton board. Brighton has been pushing to complete a high school building program which will be filled to capacity immediately.

Brings Baby To Burned Home PINCKNEY—Mrs. Kent Dev- Ion returned from the hospital Saturday night with a new baby —to a home that wasn't there. It had been destroyed by fire. Nothing was saved. Earlier in the evening, 20 minutes after her husband left for the hospital to pick her up, fire from an unknown origin enveloped their trailer house in a trailer park on M-36 outside Pinckney. Volunteer firemen were unable to save the trailer or any of its contents in the high wind. They evacuated other trailers in the area and spread waiter in the vicinity, preventing further fires. The Devlons carried no insurance on the trailer they had bought new just recently. Left homeless, in addition to the new baby and the parents, are three other small children, ages 4, 3 a/'rt 1. The family needs a '"ionic to rent. They are living temporarily with Devlon's parents at Whitmore Lake.

Brighton Driver Takes To Water: Confuses Police BRIGHTON - When David Neverth of 7322 South U.S. 23, Brighton, goes sailing at night, in future he'll turn on his marine lights, otherwise he might land in the Ann Arbor hoosegow. David's auto travels 60 to 70 miles an hour on land but has the ability also to travel on water at speeds up to 15 knots. A week ago he went to Ann Arbor on business and was returning home about 8 p.m. Passing the Huron river he couldn't resist taking to the water. But he hadn't reckoned on the spectators. They saw him turn off the road and go down the bank. Horror-stricken, the crowds on the highwav bought a JTWorist had accidently gone into the river and several frantically called the Ann Arbor police. Rushing to the spot, deputies saw Neverth calmly driving his convertible down the center of the river, with his headlights on. Called to shore, he drove up to the patrol car and explained that his compact German^rraade amphibious automobile was in no clanger of sinking. He was DAVID NEVEKIH just going down the river for, an evening ride. As a small crowd gathered deputies checked his papers and registrations and found every thing in order. Neverth continued his drive down the river. ' Neverth said his car, an Amphicar had been made for five years by a company affiliated with the Mercedes-Benz corporation amd that the steel is especialy heavy. "Although the Amphicao* is only 10 inches longer than a Volkswagen it weighs 2,300 pounds as compared to the Volkswagen's 1,800 p o u n d s President Johnson has one on his Texas ranch. Many persons have stopped me on the expressway to ask about the car and when I go to Kent Lake, which is often, crowds gather. One of the accompanying photos shows the car on a small island and people marvel at how I got there. "The first time I rode in one was last February on the Detroit river. There was a 60 mile wind but the car never faltered. It has amazing stability and we rode the waves at least 12 knots an hour, culling right through the surf." BOOSTERS CLUB HARTLAND—A pancake supper, sponsored by the Hartland Athletic Booster;, will be held Friday, Dec. 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Hartland High School. College OK By State Awaited HOWELL — word on when and if Livingston county residents will have a chance to vote on establishment of a community college in the county is awaited by the county board of education. The study committee for the county recently sent ki to the state board of education its recommendation for the community college and a reply had been expected momentarily but according to county school Supt. Walter Hampton, approval by the state may not come for a week or so because of a press of business. Approval by the state, which is expected, means that an opportunity will be given the reafcdents of the county to vote on whether a community college shall be built or not. Proponents of the community college say the college would add very little to the tax roUi — approximately a half mill. But it is pointed out by opponents of building the college at this time, that a half mill would produce only about 185,001 which would be inadequate for the college maintenance. Opponents also point out that many other things are needed before building the college, because no resident of UvtagsjtyM county is farther away tfett A half hour's drive to a school of higher education. Things needed first, according to them, are improvements in the public school system, better roads, a new courthouse and jail and a new medicare facittty. Proponents of t*ie community college point out the need for technical training for those teer* agers who are now drop-outs and also the lack of trained craftsmen which the community college wouki provide. They point out that such training would make those persons who now are on public relief, taxpayers instead of "tax-eaiters." ATOM EXPERTS WHITMORE LAKE Centenarian Tiger Fan, Is Dead Wixom Gifts Key To Fund's Goal BRIGHTON—Brighton's Community fund goal of $13,720 is slowly being reached with onfly a short time remaining. Already $11,406 has been raised and the 25 house-to-house canvassers report that they arc only about 70 per cent complete in their work. P e t e Marshall, treasurer, says he is awaiting reports from Brighton residents who work at the Ford Wixom plant. Apparently the Wixom plant docs not follow the same procedure as the General Motors Proving Grounds. At the proving grounds any payroll deductions designated for Brighton are turned over to the city, but in the past the Wixon plant has sent donations by Brighton residents to the Detroit Community Chest. Mr. Marshall! is in communication win the Wixon plant to try and straightens out this difficulty. It is expected thai donations from the Wixon plant would total more than $1,500. Mail Early BRIGHTON-With the Nation's 'conomy booming at an unpreederrted pace, Postmaster Al Bosworth is predicting a drama/ tic rise in mail volume over last year's Christmas "rush." "Literally billions of pieces of mail will be delivered between now and Christmas. If everyone were to wait until the last week to mail their gifts and greetings, the postal system would be bogged uWn resuking in many late deliveries."

Starting on Saturday Dec. 11, the Brighton Post Office will be open from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 PM. daily, except Sundays, until Thursday evening Dec. 23. Regular hours will be resumed on Friday, Dec. 24 from 8:30 am. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays thereafter from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. BRIGHTON —Brighton's famous centenarian is dead.

Other lettermen include, J i m Brown, a senior forward, a n d another 6-1 forward, Mike Lueker. Damon Kwbank, a transfer student from Marion, Ind., can play either forward or center and he is 6-3, Richard Musch also can go either at guard o r forward and stands 6-1. The veteran members of the Bulldog squad include Don Herbst a 5-11 senior guard. The Whitmore Lake Trojans figure to have a two-year letterman combining wi.li three oneyec- letter winners. Things should be looking brighter for the Trojans who finished in the conference cellar last season. The Trojans a r e led by cocaptain J i m Millen who is 5-9 and the other captain, Bill Apptegate, at 5-10. They form a n experienced pair of guards. The two forward spots may be manned by seasoned players. Ed Glysson, a t 5-10, and Andy Porno, who stands 5-11, won awards last winter. Coach Bob Ellis is taking a careful look at Kevin Oaskey, a six-footer as a possible starting center and Dale Nowak, 5-8, as a possible forward.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Within Michigan: $4.00 yearly Outside Michigan: $5.00 yearly Rehabilitation or Punishment? What is going to happen at the Boy's Training School at Whitmore Lake? At this point this is an unanswered question, but it looks, at least, that the recent investigation has added only confusion and political overtones to a situation that already has suffered its share of complications. The investigation, triggered by the "excessive" number of walkaways from the school, was instigated by Republican Representative Thon. o G. Sharpe, who hasnft personally inspected the school since it was dedicated. He said, "The walk-away problem is only symbolic of the failure of the whole operation to run effectively.11 At this point Democratic State Senator Gerald R. Dunn jumped into the fracas and, after a whirlwind visit to the school, declared that the school is "a model," and said that he could find no criticism of the operation. Both men are entitled to their views. However, by choosing sides on a party line, both are apt to freeze to their opinions, and only the school, and the area around it, will suffer. It is only realistic to recognize that there is a problem concerning the number of escapes, or "truancies," as the school would rather call them. The authorities at the school are forced to admit thia, and have been struggling ever since the investigation to correct, or alleviate, the situation. A good hard look at the school reveals some facts that must be considered before judgment is made. First, the school facilities are new, and the construction is still going on. This in itself contributes to the number of walkaways. Second, like all government projects, it is bound up in red tape and changes must go through channels, and take a great deal of time. For instance, a flaw recognized in the security screens on the housing units, many months asto, is only now being corrected. The defective screens wflT be corrected, MICHIGAN »MUtROR CLOSER CHECKS Evaluating job performance of state civil service emplovees will take a step toward efficiency if proposed changes are adopted. Agencies involved, employe organizations and other interested parties have submitted suggestions to change the kingstanding method of appraising work performance. Previously, periodice ratings of all employes were required by the Civil Service Commission. Many complaints thai this annual rating system is unwieldy, costly and of little value provoked the proposed changes. Satisfactory work by an employe would be noted by a simple list from each agency under the recommended revision. Only in cases where a conditional or unsatisfactory service rating was indicated would a personnel officer of a department be required to fill out a full report. Present rating policies would remain in effect for rating a probationary employe. The probationary period K usually six months or one year. A full report, but geared to a n<-w yardstick of efficiency, would be required in these cases. Why Die question over whether a state employe is performing? A study in 1M3 of 26,971 annual ratings required showed M.3 per cent indicated satisfactory work. Over 70 per cent of. the reports did not contain sufficiently detailed comments on performance by supervisors to be of any value in trying to improve the work. More than once tin; UUUIIUMV toon has been asked to abandon the rating system entirely, but this has been rejected. lmt onlv alter mouths of delay, and over 200 wnik-aways. The courts flooded the school with "students" lwlore it was adequately staffed, and the flood of delinquents has continued, detspite the school's continuing staffing dilemma. Area residents and law enforcement officials have cried for a fence ever since the walk-away problem began with the new "open program.1' Here began the real stand-off l>etween the school and the people. Realistically we must face the fact that it would be very expensive and probably impossible to construct a fence that was high enough to secure a really determined youth. But more than that, the state claims that rehabilitation and that kind of "custody" are incompatible. The state claims that a boy cannot be rehabilitated in a cage . . . or a cage does not rehabilitate a boy. Granted this is true, but only to a point. The state also claims that the boy is not sent to a training school such as the one at Whitmore Lake for punishment, but for rehabilitation. Most people who are acquainted with the school at all are not out for blood. They do not want to see these unfortunate youngsters punished, but they do expect them to be separated from society until a degree of rehabilitation is achieved. In effect, the only punishment demanded by the people is a removal from society until the youngster is able to accept society's boundaries. What most people don't realize is that there is no known cure for a delinquent child. There is no book that will tell a social worker how to change the attitude of these youngsters, and every state has been thrown into a chaotic scramble in an attempt to discover a successful program. Michigan is no exception. Our state probably has one of the most progressive programs in the coun try, but it is still experimental, and the bugs are being worked out of it day by day, by a team of dedicated social workers and administrators who have faith that these boys are worth the effort, and can be helped. The school is here to stav. This is the final fact that this locality will have to accept, but it may not be such a bitter pill. A citizen's committee recently created has brought out several interesting points that provide the "spoon full of sugar." First, the school offers employment to more than 200 people, and this is a healthy boost to any community's economv. Second, the school's excellent facilities, including a beautiful desijorned auditorium and a soon to be completed gymnasium, will be made available for use by the public. Finally, school authorities report that there is a fence in the future. It cannot realistically be expected to be a secure custody type fence, but it will provide the youngsters of the school with a boundary line. And it may provide the meeting of minds between those who cry for rehabilitation and those who scream for custody. Commission staff members feel the new system will provide more meaningful evaluations. The new probationary rating forms have been pilot-tested in two state departments. The staff believes K will provide better ratings because it will be more detailed in nature and based on a job factor analysis established at the time of hiring. KEEP TRYING Legislative observers ofum hear a recurring refrain when regulatory measures are proposed. It goes: "Why bother? Even if we write the law we don't have the manpower lo enforce ft." Sometimes this has proven true after enactment. Other times it is surprising to note what can be done with minimal manpower. The fatter is aptly demonstrated by Michigan's local jail situation. A federal jail inspector said recently that collectively Michigan's jails arc among the best in the nation. Less than 20 years ugo, however, Michigan's jails included many prime nominees for a "before" example in a "before and after" picture of detention facilities. Then in 1950 the legislature adopted a law giving the Department of Corrections a strong hand m governing the operation of local jails. Since then 51 new county jails have been built in Midrigai to help give this favorable impression to the federal inspector. Even in 1950 some lawmakers likely wondered aloud what good the proposal would do if it could not be enforced. It has been enforced, and by essentially one man. Yes, Midiigaa has only otic official jail inspector, lie spends most of his time throughout the year traveling (he 83 counties chocking cumpbincc with Uic law. With 15 y<*irs gone by the inspector's job is now becoming easier as more modem facilities are in use. This single area of state government activity might provide a good object lesson of what a little manpower can do to make major improvements. STAR TEACHER Education in Michigan will be headed by one of the state's highest paid administrators under the government reorganization established by the 1M3 Constitution. The new State Board of Ed* ucation is nearing a decision on a man to fill the $30,000 a year appointive post of Superintendent of Public Instruction. As the non-voting chairmen of the State Board, the new administrator will be the top leader of Michigan's public school system. He will also be the board's spokesman in deeding with the various independent state colleges and universities. Responsibility failing on the superintendent wHl involve every aspect of Michigan's official concern with education. In addition to membership on the State Administrative Board, Municipal Finance Commission and a half-dozen other units, he will have budgetary responsabiiities of great magnitude. FOREIGN INVESTMENTS NEEDED The role of large investments abroad by major American companies, the vast majority of which are fully cooperating with the President's desire to reduce dollar losses, and their effect on the U. S. Balance of Payments is frequently misunderstood. While many seem to think investments result in a loss of dollars which worsen the gold outflow, the reverse may be true. The fact is that properly financed, new overseas investments actually can be made to produce more exports and dividends and result in a greater inflow of dollars both in the short and long run. Richard C. Fenton, president Pfizer, International, addressing a National Association of Manufacturers committee meeting, pointed out the true contribution which direct investments are already making in the balance of payments, fully consistent with the President's voluntary program. Among the examples he cited was the expansion of a plant in Italy at a cost of over $1 million. The investment was financed by their subsidiary company with Italian currency and no use of dollars. On the other hand, the company ordered from other U. S. companies and shipped to the plant a quarter of a million dollars worth of equipment for the expansion and will send additional bulk chemicals at the rate of $2 million per year. This type of operation by U. S. industry in fact resulted in a net inflow of $2.7 billion in 19^3 alone. One of the logical ways to help solve the ballance of payments problems is for more companies to venture abroad, not restrict such investments, Mr. Fenton believes. REPORT from LANSING Slat* R*prs)t#ntativ« Thomas G. Sharp* 1965 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY EDUCATION (Part I) . We are in an era in which education will be shaping the course of history. Only a personal, constructive, and farsighted interest by ad! will guarantee that it is shaped for the better. Tens of millions of chldren wili be requiring adequate educational opportunities — and you, as a citizen taxpayer and contractor, will be footing the gigantic bill which this vast program entails. Expenditures for elementary, secondary, and higher education in the United States reached a record high of nearly $34 billion during the past year — and this is only the beginning. Although such a staggering" figure is hard for any individual to comprehend, we cannot let this serve as an excuse for backing away from the subject. Rather, it Should serve to emphasize the need for constant citizen vigilance at the local level. The some 31,700 local school districts in this country afford every voter the opportunity to take an motive interost in education end thus serve as a protection against deficiencies that often follow when local control is neglected. Educational appropriatianB, policies, and programs which once would have shocked the most liberal, of liberals have this year marched triumphantly through federal, state and local tewmaJdng bodies end have won victory after victory at the polls in local school districts. State Funds Appropriated for Education The IMS Michigan Leglstauirc approved a record-setting budget this year, the giant of which was education. Nearly half of the $820 6 million general fund budget will go tor state support of education, representing a 38 percent increase over what win authorized last year. In addition to the nearly M00 million which wilt go for education from the State General Fund appropriation!*, an estimated $317.5 million more in state vA6 to schools wHl be allocated from e»mwrkcd state tax collections ($288 million or half the state's 49fc sales tax collections; $21 million from 1 mill of the stale cgarette tax; and $8.7 million from the state's 4% excise tax on liquor. This brings the overall state aid to education for 1965-66 to over $700 million! Besides appropriating more than ever for education at all levels, the legislature expanded the system, launched new programs within it, and revised the school aid formula. Although our educational needs must be met, likewise must the funds be provided with which to meet them. Even Michigan's record prosperity cannot generate sufficient revenues through our existing tax system Jto-mect these escalating expenditures. It is only a natter of time until bites from our accumulated surplus have consumed it entirely — and we face deficit spending and higher and higher taxes. School Aid (Elementary and Secondary Education) The record-breaking $524 million for locafi school aid ($206 from the State General Fund and $318 from earmarked state tax collections) will aid in financing the elementary and secondary school system and the teachers retirement fund. For the first time since 1960, it will mean that the state is furnishing more than half (50.3%) of the cost of elementary and secondary education. The $206 General Fund appropriation is based on a legislatively-determined school aid formula and the funding of pensions. Although pupil enrollments have risen only 10.1'/. (180,955) since 1962-63, the statte supplement has Increased 63.8% ($80.4 million) since 196243, and 48% ($67 million) since 1964-65. Under the school aid bid the per pupil grant ta increased from $236.50 to $255, with deductible millage raised from 425 to 4.6. II bumps the aid given 'to low valuation district*; increases state support of special programs and student transportation; extends auxiliary services to private and parochial school* located in dirttetter To Th* Editor th b , T To the We, the taxpayer* on Rush and Oceoiu Strois. wLh ii state the fads in regard to 'he proposed sewer, now a rcility. 1. The pirnlie l w r h g on Ocl It was, in our opinion, i! farce. Mayor Holler, and his council, having heard sweet music to their ears, had already mad* up their minds, and had actuary le! the project out for bids before the public heaT;ng. 2. It was opposed at this public hearing by well over 90 per <-enl of the taxpayers who had received announcements of the special assessments. There wat» not one family agreeable to ihe sewer terms outlined by the council. 3. Nevertheless at the next meeting of the council it was passed with only one negative vote, that of Mr. HolUs Arnold, forcing it on the taxpayers who felt no need or desire for it. We object lo: 1. The excessive cost and 100 per cent assessment. 2. Other Howell city s>trees with sewers at the same depth have been charged half as much per foot with no hook-up charge. 3. The Bush - Oceola sewer will %be connected to a sewer ithat has been proved faulty, and has been since its installation. 4. On November 8 the taxpayers involved presented the council wfth two signed peti tions with 100 per cent of the taxpayers signatures. We were told ithat it was too late. In the brief period of two council meetings they had been successful in shoving it (through. The contract had been let. We were left holding the bag with a debt ttiat many of us cannot afford. O n e assessment exceeded $1,500.00. 5. At the ciose of the November 8<h council meeting, City Attorney Robert Kleito asked why we dM not object a month before. This we had- already done. Evidently he was the only one who didn't hear Councilman John Proctor state that "wo know that the taxpayers don't want it, but it's got to be done sooner or later. Let's get it done now." While installing the sewer *he contractor told some of the taxpayers that he attended the first meeting and, knowing the taxpayers were all opposed to it, he offered to withdraw his bid, with no hard feelir.gs. His offer was declined, and the bid, which was the only one submitted on the project, was subsequently accepted by the council. In conclusion, it is the sincere opinion of the undersigned taxpayers that no taxpayers should attend a public hearing before the Howell City Council without first obtaining an attorney who will keep the taxpayers in mind, end he should represent the (taxpayers at each council meeting until the matter is settled. We, the undersigned, are all of the assessed taxpayers of the Bush-Oceola Sewer Project in Howell: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Belken Willkm Barrett Dorothy and Frank Hicks Mrs. Eunice Whyte Carl and Barbara GaJbreath Lewis and Ruth Gearhardt Everett and Pearl Scott Mr and Mrs. Dewcy Turner Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Vines Florence and Betty Hacker ricts providing such state services in the public schools; and increases die state's contribution to the teachers retirement fund by about $15 miflton, making tttis year's total in the neighborhood of $70 milion. One of the major objectives in the state's school policy is to have every child in Michigan attend school in a district which offers a comprehensive K-12 program. The Citizens Research Council reported that as of April, 1965 there were 1,300 school districts in the state, and less than 600 of them offered a K-12 program; further, that to provide reasonably economical facilities, curriculum, end faculty a high school must have at least 500 students. Yet, of the 562 districts that dM have high schools, 210 had fewer than 500 enrolled in their high schools. The magnitude of tr school aid expenditures it mandatory that aid is distributed in such *- manner as to achieve the state's educational goals, and that students and taxpayers alike receive maximum value for the additional monies being made available to local school districts. There is no question that any school board can find ways to spend unanticipated state funds — the real problem lies in whether or not the funds are distributed in such a manner as to guarantee achievement of our educational objectives. We can only hope that the Democrat-controlled legislature, In its mad rush to devise a new state aid formate, has not act* ed too hastily. (Next week's column wtU continue our dtacuataon of IMS legisfartion affecting cducattan.) Congressman Wes Vivian Reports Last summer, I had the op* portunity to see "The Four Days of Gemini IV," the official NASA documentary film covering the Gemini Titan mission of astronauts James A. McDivitt and Edward H. White, Jr., meluding Lieutenant Colonel White's historic walk in space. I felt that this film would be of particiular interest to the people of the Second Congressional District, not only because of the historic importance of the events it covers, but also because both Astronauts McDivitt and White received their advanced training in aeronautical and astronautics! engineering here in Michigan. I therefore arranged to borow a copy of the film for a short time. However, after the first public showings were so overwhelmingly received, I made arrangements to extend the period of time when it could be made available to the public. Although the travels of the film around the Second District during the past two months have been less spectacular than the flight of Astronauts McDivitt and White, they have, in many ways, seemed as arduous and ( A CHRISTMAS PRAYER) By Tom Kizer It was December One, 1965.

There was a serious undercurrent of tafc about a coming csto with ftd' The world at large, and U Thant, in particular, was exploring all possible avenues for negotiating peace between the United States and Hanoi. Even Russia was reported working to arrange peace talks between the two warring countries. President Johnson was commuting between the White House on the Pedemales and the White House on the Potomac. He had just arrived back at the White House in Washington Tuesday evening, November 30. It was Wednesday, the first day of Christ's birth month. The President went early to his office, held a short meeting with various aides and then directed his attention to the stack of papers on his desk. He had just picked up the top one when his secretary entered with a question that caused him to drop it back on the pile. He turned briefly to answer and then directed his attention back to the desk. There, on top of the paper he had just picked up and put down, lay an envelope meticulously inscribed in ancient style script, addressed simply. "Citizens Johnson, Guardian of the People of the United States." Puzzled, Mr. Johnson looked long at the envelope and then slowly opened it. It read: "Haril! Citizen J. Guardian of your people! Before you (for whatever cause) declare a war must be fought, you shall appoint twelve men you shall pick at random from your Great Country. You shall further instruct these twelve men to meet with you at a conference table on the Eve of Christmas. The Chairman of this group will bear sealed instructions written for you which he shall not open until seated at the conference table. These instructions will read: "Yours, as leader of the most powerful nation on earth, is the responsibility of making the Prayer, "PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN", a REALITY before you leave this conference table. "One final instruction. These twelve men you shall pick must heretofore be unknown to you personally and must come from varying walks of life-finally, the names by which you call them shall be: Peter Paul Thomas Stoion Andrew James Phillip Bartholomew Matthew Mark Luke and John. complex. I would iike to take this opjwntunity to &*& m/, District staff, a corps of deditatcd volunteers, the many school officials and civic leaders, and the fine newspapers in the Second District, all of whom helped to make it possible for more than 35,000 school children and adults to soe "The Four Days of Gemini IV." The statf and volunteer drivers arranged for scheduling and transjjorting the film under circumstances which normally would require the skills of an expect in logistics. Making over sixty automobile trips, covering a total of more than 1,300 miles they and, on occasion, willing school officials delivered and picked up the film cheerfully and promptly, often at 'no little inconvenience to themselves and their families. Several times the film had to be picked: up at 10:30 p.m- after a night showing in one location and delivered before 7:45 a.m. the following morning at another location sixty miles away. School officials and civic lead* ers made it possible to have the film shown at more than sixty choois and thirty meetings, both public and private, for a total of approximately ISO viewing*. In Livingston County, it was shown in Haitland, Howell Pinckney, and Whrtmore Lake. Newspapers throughout the District rendered a great service to their readers by pubhshing the schedule for the showing of the film in their communities. As a member of the House Committee on Science and Astronautics, I have been particularly pleased, not oniy by the enthusiastic response to "The Four Days of Gemini IV," but also by having the opportunity to share with my constituents some of the achievements, as well as the excitement, of our Nation's space program. If another film, or any other program of similar interest and importance, becomefe af/aflable sometime in the future, I shall make every effort to share it with you. SENATOR PHILIP HART REPORTS For some people, the image of the law enforcement officer is the reflection of a Qftshing red light in their rear-view mirror. To others, the Borage may take the form of a policeman's signature on an overtime parking ticket — or a blur of arm signals in the middle of a busy intersection. But for all of us, there is the growing realization that the role of the law enforcement officer can no longer be described in such simple terms. And in the face of a growing crime rate with its attendant complexities — a crime rate that has doubled since 1940 and is costing us tens of billions of dollars annually — it is a performance of duty that becomes more impossible, in the light of undermanned, underpaid and overworked police forces in spite of their outstanding efforts. There is an acknowledgement among professional law officers of the need for skills and training beyond traditional subjects of police academies. There is a need for training in human relations, police-community relations and in facts about nonviolent demonstrations as well as mass disorder. In 1962, after consulting with the experts in the field of law enforcement from all over the country, I introduced in the Senale the first law enforcement assistance act to provide for Federal aid to police departments. The Law Enforcement Assistance Act of 1965 signed into law is not an attempt by the Federal government to supplant the administration of the separate states over their individual law enforcement agencies. As the President stated in his message to Congress, "the principal enforcement responsitoillly still rests on state and local governments." What it will do is empower the Attorney General — over a* three-year period — to make grants to local agencies and non-profit organizations for the training of state and local law enforcement personnel and those employed in crime prevention programs. Fighting crime effectively under modem conditions and maintaining law and order requires professional iwlice who are expertly trained in a variety of skills.

Both the university und city have become research oriented and boast of much activity and development i?i this area. The U-M has what is regarded as one of the top notch p h y s i c a l departments ir\ the country. More scientists and engineers also would be attracted by the location of the AEC facility in the area. The state that lands the Atomic Energy Commission's proton accelerator au'omatically will become the world center for research in high energy physics. It is difficult to place a dollar- and-cents value on benefits that will flow to the region where the laboratory' is located. But they will be enormous. "It will elevate the level of competence, scientifically and industrially," explained Jeffrey Norman, director of research at the University of Michigan. "I don't know about the economic prize, but there is no doubt the lab will mean increased academic strength and industry will benefit in countless ways." The accelerator will attract •scientific personnel by the hundreds and all types of sciencebased industry. Over a period of lime, there will be "spin-off" benefits as scientists develop new processes and techniques rthajt will became the basis for entirely new indus tries. Just what these industries will bo is Impossible to predict right now, but such a concentrated pool of scientific and research talent and experiments will be a magnet for brains. The major interest, both in" Michigan and Washington, is focused on the two-mile by three-mile rectangular t r a c t of land just east of the US-23 expressway near W h i t m o r e Lake Scientists rate the site, near the University of Michigan campus and only 34 miles from Detroit's Metropolitan Ailrport, as among the top five or six locations among the 85 under study. The accelerator and related experimental facilities will cost the Atomic Einergy Commission some $300 million to build in the next six to eight years. It will require another $40 to $50 million to equip and an annual budget of $65 million to operate.

Rawlings, 76, of 6173 Island Lake Dr., Green Oak Township, died at Veterans Hospital in Ann Arbor following a long illness. He was born Nov. 21, 1889, in Port Huron, a son of Albert end Rhoda Rawtings. He was a veteran of World WBT I, serving with the Army, and prior to retirement was an inspector with the Ford Motor Co. Surviving are his widow, Ivy; two daughters: Mrs. Russell Sleep of Romulus and Mrs. Robert Kurty of Taylor; a son, Don Rowlings of Brighton; nine grandchildren; three great* grandchildren; a brother, Don Rowlings of Sulphur Springs, Texas; and a sister, Mrs. Gladys Kefgen of Port Huron. Funeral services were held Friday from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Brighton with the Rev. Robert Eidson officiating, burial in Fairview Cemetery. GEORGE GREINER Ptocfcney — Geo. Grdner, 71, a former resident of Pinckney, died in Allen Park alter a long illness. Mr. Grefoer at one time was a farmer on Pinckney Rd. Several Pinckney residents attended the funeral Monday. They are the Joseph Laveya, the Bert Wylies, Leland Grants, Mrs- Sarah Oliver, Mrs. Lillian Wylie, the Carlton Biackmers and the Louis Stackables. M. B. SMOLAK WHITMORE LAKE - Michael Boris Smofcak Sr., 97, a Whitmore Lake farmer for most of his life, died Nov. 25 ait University Hospital after a short illness. Mr. Smolafc was born June 17, 1868, in Russia, where he was a soldier for three years. He came to the U.S. in 1902 and shortly after his arrival married France* Hollas, who died in 1S50. Surviving are four sons, John of St. Petersburg, Fla., William and Michael of Brighton and Walter of Whitmore Lake; four daughters, Mrs. Ann Rogstad and Mrs. Audrey Thomas of Detroit, Mrs. Frances Bolzman of Sebewains and Mrs. Nellie Millen of WhrUnore Lake; 15 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Fvnend services were held Monday at Holy Trinity Rut dan Orthodox Church, Detroit BMW was i s CadBae Ms» mortal Ceastsry. Atonic SHe most sough'.-after — basic research machine the Federal Government has ever dreamed up. Until somewhere around 1985, this will be the most valuable piece of scientific equ;pment in the world. PolKicallv. it is easily the juiciest plum in the fedral fruiit basket. It is no surprise, then, that competition for location of the 200 billion electron volt (BEV) accelerator is so great that scientists have coined a new phrase to describe it — High Energy Politics. Governors, university presidents, industrialists, senators and congressmen have jumped into the battle. A decision on where to bufld the accelerator is expected in time for authorization by Congress in next year's budget. What is going on now is the second stage of an open competition involving 43 states and 85 proposed sites. The list was drawn up by the AEC after s*udy of 126 proposals for more than 200 sites in 56 states. Some idoa of the competition that has developed- was revealed when Ohio's Gov. James Rhodes recently doubled his state's outright ca^h bid to $10 million in an effort to lure the. project to the idle Ravenna Arsenal near Akron. These offers arrived at the AEC office even though no requests for financial subsidy had been listed in tho site criteria published following a preliminary design study by the University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. Figuring that money cant buy anything as valuable as a 200 BEV accelerator, Michigan has made no cash offer. It has, however, proposed two sites, and arranged to meet the AEC demand that the Land be either presently owned by the Federal Government or "reasonably available" to it. Privately, AEC officials have said this standard really means "no cost" to the agency for the requisite minimum of 3,000 acres nstmas Ojub-merriest wa^ to save-/ ^ You Can Oive ©fitlly B IG GUfta "Witli a. hristmas Club m. • Choose a Club NOW and carry it throughout the year.

State's Wild Turkeys, Indians Linked In History DETROIT- The plump roast turkey which will appear on many Michigan tables during the forthcoming holidays represents more than a good meal: the bird is part of a parv. orama of American history extending back to the Spanish conauest of the Aztecs and including turkey hunting by Michigan Indians armed with crude bows and arrows. "The English colonists who landed on the Atlantic coast found native turkeys which the Indians had been hunting," says Prof. Philip P. Mason, Wayne State University archivist and historian. It was some time before they began domesticating the birds, since the supply from the woods was ample. One group of American Indians had, however, domesticated turkeys several centuries before the white men came. These were1 the Pueblos, in the Southwest. They raised them not for food, but for feathers, plucked from the live bird for burnt offerings. The turkeys of the Atlantic coast were of the bronzecolored variety, but within the Americas there were six or seven distinct species, including a blue-headed, brilliantly plumaged Central American species. Indian folklore of some North America/i tribes held the birds to be sacred, the Indians believing them to represent reincarnated human spirits. "Michigan Indians hunted them without hesitancy," says Dr. Mason. "The Potawatomi tribe of the southern lower peninsula had a Thanksgivinglike celebration in the fall of the year in which roast turkeys were a main part of a feast which followed tribal dances." Michigan's wild turkey population died out about 1900 but the State's Department of Conservation began repopulation in the mid-1950's so that the birds now thrive in several of the State's forest areas. The birds usually travel by walking but can fly up to 55 m.p.h. when frightened. They roost in the tops of trees at night.

It was started as a "normal School" to provide teachers for the upper peninsula. Today it's a multipurpose university with a three dimensional program of research, instruction and service. The campus area is 160 acres and contains 31 buildings. There is another campus which contains 120 acres of agriculture, Botany, and Conservaition facilities, almost any course may be taken at Northern but a "C" average is required. Exams are advisable for entrance. Entrance fees are as fallows: $25 enrollment deposit 1300 for 11 or more semester hours. Additional classroom fees may be collected on registration day. Fraternities and Sororities K as well as different council and govt. groups are available as social entertainment. Religious groups and professional clubs have been organized for students taking such courses. There is a program of intramural sports. If none of these are found to be interesting, there are usually activities in Marquette, which is quite a large city. Tribute Paid Drums of Death The senior pLay has come and gone, It was a greater success than was anticipated. All of the actors did a fine job. In the opinion of many people Ralph Norris did a superb job as Newton Cooper, a sheriff of dubious intelligence. I feel that a special tribute should go to the special committees, and the people behind them, for a swell job. Some credit should go to the costume committee, headed by Pat Baker, for a hard job well done. Here's good health for all S the family!

Do these words sound familiar to most of you? What good does it do? Some kids learn their lesson, but most of them become angered art their parents, This anger isn't very good. For some hi builds into resentment. This resentment builds until the teen just explodes. Then there's tension in the air for quite awhile. For the kids who learn their lesson, this is good Some times the lesson is of major L-iportance. Other times it's very insignificant, but the lesson learned is valuable. So when you get grounded, learn your lesson. Don't do it again, and you won't hear those familiar last words. WE CAN'T BE BEAT...

GRAND RIVER PHONE AC 9-6892 BRIGHTON FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS' By PamBalr In my opinion war, peace, science, and faith go hand in hand. Faith, however, dominates the other three. In times of war, faith must be present on both sides. This is what gives each side courage to fight. They have a faith in whai they are fighting for. Thus, armed with both weapons and faith they go off and stand up for what they believe is right. In times of peace, we are filled with faith because bur pleasant atmosphere leaves our minds at ease. We don't have to worry about war and can look forward to a happy future. Speaking of the future, science is mostly associated with this period. Everyday, the search goes on to develop seemingly impossible articles and substances to add the world and her people. Much faith is needed in this field, for men must firmly believe in something to do and discover the impossible. After all, where would we be now if Hypocrates had not had faith? Faith has been a great contributor in our achievements of today. It will also continue into the future. OUT ancestors push- Tribute to Mr. Hawkins By E.

Pat Lanning—lay around the house. Bud Wagner—going fox hunting. Ron Price—Got a date with a gorgeous blonde from Pontiac. Glen Veno — Going bowling Saturday and Sunday.

Brian Ririly — same thing I always do. Pam Carusi — nothing — she is grounded too. Tom Tarrant—going to do a little slot car racing with race cars. Ethel Gibson—is going to Pontiac Friday to see her sister Joyce. Mary Schoen — is going to "SLEEP." Mark Hartman — is going to be good for once, or at least try real hard. H.M. "Won't Say."

Angelo Parlove — eat, sleep, and drink. How to Act In Assembly Do we- really have the right Lo ask for Assemblies? Now tell me after you stop to think alxjut this question. Some students think that we do really rate moiv. I know a lot of students who think thait we are getting a lot more than we should. These are the ones that are quiet and try to keep the others quiet at these assemblies. When there are class meelings the officers always have to ask the students to keep it quiet. That is just the way it is ait these other assemblies that we have. For example at the assembly Tuesday that was for the girls, one of the girls from the senior class got up and asked all of the girls in a real nice way to have consideration for other people when 'they are trying to talk. I think it did some good for about 5 or 10 minutes. Then they started it up again. I am not saying at tall that it is just us girls that do all 'he talking at these assemblies, but it is a mixture of both the girls and boys, especially when they may get together. I know that some students think the same way about this that I do. If you other students want more assemblies, then learn to keep quiet for at least one hour. Also stop to think for once what you are doing to the ones that aren't talking. How would you like it if you were trying to say something to a group of students that aoe talking all of the time? Just how would you feel? Just stop to tWnk and when you want to talk, then maybe you will get some consideration yourself. If you think we rate more assemblies, let's start to cooperate at the ones we now have. Nancy ReUams — going to stay over to her cousin's house in Detroit. Pat Oakrwell — going to Bad Axe to visit a cousin who fas coming home from the service. Wess Crabtree — going deer hunting over the week-end. Editorial By Mary Schoen Hunting season is here again, and a large percentage of high school boys have taken a few days off to participate. Can girls take a couple of days off to go shopping? "No, of course not," you say. "That's different." Why is it different? In my opinion it's not. Should boys be able to take an extra vacation and not girls? Mrs. Ikens, high school counselor and attendance officer, has suggested that each student have two excused absence days per semester or per year. These days could be used any time during the year, and wouldn't be counted against the perfect attendance record for Honor Banquet. Mrs. Ikens believes this plan would cut down on skipping and would also reduce the number of lies told in order to obtain a white excuse. Do you agree or disagree?

Attention: Frats or Grease By Nancy Kellams Has the classification of "Frats1" and "Grease" been carried too far? In my opinion it has. So far — that the words' original meaning has been almost, if not completely forgotten. All these kids who say they are Frats and hate the Grease are no more Frat than the guy who wears suede, pointed shoes, and white socks. In the real meaning of Frat, which originated form the word fraternity, means brotherhood, or having a brotherly friendship. Is putting a person down for the way he dresses fraternizing? We, the high school students of today, are supposed to be striving to spread the thoughts of democracy as our forefathers have done. To do this we must be united, but how can we if we're divided into either frat or grease? This example may be a little extreme bu* iits purpose is to get across to you. So let's stop this smear segregation — stop thinking of yourself as either frat or grease. Dress the way you want, but stop the classification there! LOVELORN Dear Jan, and Feb. Why do boys think that they- 're all cool? Curious. Dear Curious: Boys are proud, too proud. If they have a cool car they think they're cool. All they really are is conceited not all of. them but many of them are. Conceit is just a coverup for an inner-feeling of some kind. If you can get beyond .their conceit you may find a sincere person. Jan. and Feb. The Canada goose does not know the meaning of fear In defending its own nest.

Christmas Tree Buyers Warned BRIGHTON — Because so many Christmas trees in past years were cut (illegally or stolen from isolated forests, Livingston county residents are warned that the 1962 "Chistmas Greens Law" requires that anytree must have a bill of sale. Prior to passage of the law, vandals, thieves and others created havoc in many of the up state forests even raiding Christmas tree farms. In fact the entire $5,500,000 Christmas tree harvest was endangered. Persons cutting and Snipping trees and greens are reminded by C. A. Boyer-, of the Michigan Department of Agriculture, that a bill of sale is required (or all trees and boughs in transit, Approved forms for shipment of tree* and greens are available through Bayer's office to Lansing and ait offices of county agricultural extension directors, the Michigan Department of Conservation, the Michigan State Police, and local sheriffs. The Christmas Greens Law was enacted in 1962 to deter shipment of illegally harvested evergreens. Boyer said that it applies to shipment of even single trees throughout the year with exception of the period between Nov.,30 and Dec. 31. During December, he said, up to two trees per person may be transported without the permit Other laws apply to trees with roots attached, according to Boyer. Plants with roots are considered nursery stock, and a nursery inspection must have been made prior to movement. TWs is to prevent spread of serious plant pests and diseases.

Robin Displaced as State's Bird BRIGHTON - When Brighton again celebrates M i c h i g a n Week next May 15 to 21, a seagull will have replaced the robin as the slate's official bird on the posters and emblems, according to Paul Ponfield, general chairman. Already plans are being laid for tho celebration which is scheduled to exceed any in the past, and soon chairmen for Livingston county and the vari* ous cittes in the county will be named. From one springtime lo another the robin has been part of the Michigan Week emblem, sometimes in sailor's cap or drum major's hat, sometimes just a iaunty red-breasted bird. The 1966 emblem will show a Mackinaw Bridge tower and three soaring sea gulls. There will be no robin and the traditional red of the Michigan Week poster will be gone. The colors will be bright green and light blue. "It isn't that we are downgrading the robin," Mr. Penfield said, "but that among all designs submitted we liked this one best. Also, we are delighted to have a design emblematic of the bridge that binds our two peninsulas, of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway." Power Failure A Farm Disaster HOWELL — The recent massive power failure in the eastern United States brought the need for emergency preparedness sharply into focus. Millions of people were caught without any means of providing some sort of light for themselves end their families. Electric light has been with us for so many years that it is taken for granted. Causes vary from the recent eastern catastrophe to a simple wind storm. Such a power failure here would shut down every milking machine hi livingston County, among other disasters. The Rural Defence Office at Michigan State University gives these suggestions: Keep emergency equipment in operating order. Make sure that lanterns are full and adjusted. Keep electrical generators and storage batteries ready for use on short notice. Extra flashlight batteries stored in a plastic bag is a good idea. Place ,Ma8Pgtnaty lighting equipment where fc can be reached Quickly and conveniently. Lanterns, camp lights, flashlights, and even candles and matches should be collected in one handy place. Automobile trouble lamps we an ideal emergency light source. One should be kept handy in the glove compartment, trunk, or tool box in every farm vehicle. ooking Backward Ex-Brighton Man's Daughter Honored Miss Marilyn Joan Weeks, daughter of Robert Weeks and granddaughter of Mrs. Angie Weeks formerly of Brighton now residing in Plainfielri N.J. was lected into the Frank W.

MSU to Entertain Foreign Students HOWELL - This December when Michigan State University opens Us doors to the diverse groups of foreign students, most of them in this country' as exchange students, Byron Rogers, president of tho Rogers Oil Co. of Howell, will not, for the first time in years, have a foreign exchange student in hi-s home to attend the MSU ceremonies In the past Mr. and Mrs. Rogers have been hosts to foreign exchange students who would spend a year with them aad come in contact with American customs. Apparently the Rogers always became attached to their visitors who in turn regretted to return to their own homes. As in the past, the foreign visitors to MSU will visit farms in this locality and spend Christmas ove in Ingham and Livingston county homes. So far Mr Rogers has received no information as to any students who will spend Christmas eve with his family, but he said he would welcome them if they come. About 80 students, who are attending American colleges and universities, w i l l represent nearly 400 countries in all parts of the globe at this 13th annual Adventure in World Understanding. "Home" for niiie days, Dec. 21-29, will be the Kellogg Center for Continuing Education, MSU's internationally k n o w n residential conference facility. The students will Hve together, break bread together and exchange both views and customs. They will hear talks by MSU professors and other learned men, and will join in crosscultural discussions on some of the major issues facing 20th century society. They call 'em interstate highways because :f you miss your exit you're heading for another state.

It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without n strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4> For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily. When Grandmother and Grandfather Todd came to say their goodbyes before leaving for Florida, we took their picture. Looking at it, I remember them as they were that day, serene and happy, anticipating their trip. To them there are no sunset years but always a new day ahead. Life has truly been a table spread before them. Oh, there have been sorrows and trouble aplenty, but always His rod and staff have comforted them Even in the shadow of death God has been with them, for the Lord is their Shepherd. '' Such faith may be yours. Your church is the open door through which you may find that fellowship of understanding which has been to my grandparents their greatest treasure. Attend your church and find there, through worship and prayer, the inspiration you need for religious growth. Copyright 196S Ktitter Advertising Strvict, Inc., Stnuburg, Vo.

Writing is Topic M Delta Kappa H O W E L L - Delta Kappa Gamma of Livingston County met in the Howell Library on Friday evening, Nov. 12. The yearly program focus, "Creative Individuals — Their Value to a Society," was continued with particular emphasis upon creative writing. Mrs. Sylvia Grostic, fourth grade teacher from Fowlerville, introduced her fellow teacher panel members, Mrs. Merle Hagni from Howell and Mrs. Irene Wilson from FowlerviUe. . The panel members in turn presented many varied and interesting profiles on creative writing, encouraging the teachers to foster an awareness of everyday experiences and an openness that we can be creative. Many women writers and their writings were reviewed. It was of particular interest to the group of the contributions that had been made by women from Livingston county. While great difficulty ts experienced i n trying to identify or define or even know the influences which cause creativity to flourish, we do know tt is something that goes on within a person himself. Our heritage has been preserved through excellent writings, for in great books there is no past and no built-in atosolescences. This fact was vividly emphasized by the dteplay of good books arranged on the library tables by Mrs. Zoe Earl, librarian of Howell High School. Holiness Meeting HOWELL — The December meeting of The Livingston County Holiness Association will be held in The Wright's Corners Church of God, 3960 Pinckney Road, on Tuesday evening December 7th at 7:30 P.M. The annual election will take place at this service. The speaker for this service will be the Rev. R, N. Raycroft, pastor of the Howell N w arene Church.

Pinckney - Harttand Member F.DXC. Farmers' Labor [Plight Attacked HOWELL — The plight of Livingston county farmers, aggravated by the action of the government in prohibiting the importation of Mexican labor for the harvest season, has brought criticism of the government's action from Roy G. Lucks, president of the National Canners association. "County agricultural agents, who are familiar wiith crop and labor conditions, are 'standing by unsought' while the U.S. Department of Labor plays the unfamiliar role of determining the need for agricultural Labor," said Lucks. In the first place, Lucks asked, can the Laibor Department's know-how in dealing with an industrial society be transferred successfully to the agricultural community? He called attention to the fact that in Michigan, a panel of experts which originally was appointed to study and recommend agricultural Labor requirements has been recalled to find out what happened to the labor thalt was certified but never materialized. That source of labor, the farmers reported, came to the country fromx the unemployed ranks in the cities and were unable to work the pickle fields or were too Lazy, and practically all of them returned to the cities after a day or so despite the fact the farmers had paid their transportation, thus costing the farmers both money paid out and heavy lasses of fruit and vegetables that rotted in tbe fields. Farmers to Vote On ASC Members HOWELL — The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service County Office in Howell will soon mail notices to farmers throughout the county, reminding them of the upcoming elections of ASC community committee-men.

Supervisors Delay OK 01 Infirmary HOWELL — A resolution to build a new $600,000 medicare facility for the county, housing 50 beds was temporarily tabled by the county board of supervisors, untii the December meeting when Supervisor Martin Lavan acted that a further study be made. Tne present facility is now caring for 49 patients and U was pointed out that before start of construction the prop used 50 bed facility would be far too inadequate to care for the county's needs. When iit was proposed that part of the construction costs come from the welfare fund surplus, La van said he wanted to know more about the "welfare fund surplus" because there wasn't any welfare fund surplus a month ago, at budget time. In tht; resolution described by La van as a "shot gun resolution," Harold Armstrong proposed that the supervisors authorize the construction of the facility, near the present Mo Pherson Health Center, with funds presently in the medicaire building fund, the county's public improvement fund, from sale of the present county infemary, from matching HUl; Burton funds, and from a "surplus in the welfare fund:" In terming it a shot gun resolution Lavan said, "the board should have some facts and figures for consideration before a decision is made, I'm not for or against it at the present time, but I want to know more about jt. I want to know about this surplus in the welfare fund that wasn't there a month ago at budget time. I believe this is a way to circumvent the people, and I don't believe in secreting money so the people will have nothing to say, I believe this is worth discussion, and all of the supervisors should have copies of the facts and figures. The welfare committee must have a program, but I don't know anything aibout it." Lavan moved to table the discussion until the December meeting. Supervisor John Proctor agreeing with Lavan said, "The supervisor's should have time to consider this. "This looks like wasteful planning to me, because certainly we can build an adequate facility cheaper now, then having to add to it later." Lavan's motion to table the resolution carried by a 16 to 5 vote. Armstrong, who voted to table his own resolution, said that the resolution was introduced only to get the feelings of the board, and to open the matter for discussion. Supervisor Fred Catrell told the board that the matter of a medicare facility for the cotmty had been given a lot of consideration for over four years and that some action should be taken soon.

Brighter of the pair is Vomis, which is conspicuous, low in the southwestern sky soon after sunset. You will be able to see it long before the sky is dark enough to show any stars. With its mid-December magnitude of minus 44, Venus is about seven times as bright as the other planet, Jupiter, which is still considerably more brilliant than any star. It sets about two hours after the sun. Jupiter is shown high in the east, in the constellation of Taurus, the bull. On Dec. 18 Jupiter is at opposition, directly op- PQsite the sun. A third planot is also visible, although much less prominent. This is Saturn, shown in Aquarius, the water earner, low m the southwest. Earlier in the evening, when the sky first darkens, it is farther south and higher. Its magnitude is plus 1.2, which makes it equal to the fainter of the frrst magnitude stars. Mars is also in the evening sky but you will have' a (hard timo seeing it, since it is 'even Painter than Saturn and sets before Venus. By the time the sky is dark enough to show Mars, tt has almost reached the horizon. Winter, in the Northern Hemisphere, begins Dec. 21, when the sun reaches a point farthest south for the year at 8:41 p.m. In the Southern Hemisphere this is the beginning of summer. London is planning to build perimeter highways around the city.

Hyne st. at the Mill Pond. At a P.TA. meeitims in November, 1927, a motion was made and voted to sponsor a City Library. A committee of five was appointed by the president to aporoach the City Council and request space in the council rooms located over the Fire Hall, and also for any financial aid the city could provide. The Council recognized the need for a library and space was granted in the small front room, and an appropriation of $200 a year toward its siroport. Book donations were collected and shelves were arranged. With the help of Mrs. Florence Deering, then a teacher in the Brighton School, books were obtained on loan from the State Library and the Detroit Public Library. A board of three members was named and volunteer workers assigned for duty to keep the library open six hours a week. In March 1928 the City Library was ready to furnish books to residents.

HOWELL — L i v i n g s t o n County is one step nearer to having a mental health program. A special sub-committee appointed by the Livingston County Board of Supervisors reported that a female mental health center is essr-'ial to meet the current and future m e n t a l health needs of the children and their families residing in Lrvuigston County. The committee re;x>r4rau«ded that the supervisors appoint a community m e n t a l health board of directors to draft a detailed statement of program, policies and budget. The committee estimated that the potential cost would be approximately $65,000 which would cover salaries for professional staff members to include psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, and one or possibly two clinical sockil wr>rhnrs, -ind clerical and mnint'-nanc tuff The report will be placed before the super visors for a vote aL their December meeting. James Sullivan, administrator of the McPherson Health Center, stated at the meeting:' "The Health Center Board of Trustees is vitally interested in the work of the Mental Health Study Committee in establishing a Family Mental Health Program for Livingston County."

With construction of new homes and apartments in the eastern part of the county, home ownership in Livingston county is now at the highest percentage in tbe nation. Surveys show that in 1965 83& percent of the county's population owned their own homes. Two of the most recent industries in Brighton Eire the Maorsden Electric Co., manufacturers and designers of electrical transformers and reactors, who moved from Detroit, and the Hammersley Co., manufacturers of camping trailers. The Brighton city council recently rezoned the area facing' old Grand River, across from' the Kroger Co., from R-l to R 4 at the request of Ralph Banfield, builder, who has purchased the Hardesty p r o p e r t y among many other parcels of land in the Brighton area. Banfield told the council he wag going to build an apartment house on the Hardeety prop* erty and it is understood th*t Banfield has already started building a number of homes on property he acquired facing Brighton Lake rd. Richard Juipe and Harold Jarvis, Jr., are building an apartment house on the old Flint road and expect to have six units ready for occupancy by Feb. 1. They plan a total of 18 units and already many applications have been received for rentals. In Livingston County home ownership has been on the rise and is now at a high level. A greater proportion of Livingston County families than ever before own the houses in County Bar Honors Judge Carland At the meeting of the Livingston County Bar Association, Circuit •Judge BJichael Carland (standing right) was honored by the county's attorney. He is shown being presented with a petition signed by the entire bar membership urging him to be a candidate for reelection at the upcoming primary. Municipal Judge Stanley Berriman (standing left) made the presentation. Others at the speaker's table are left to rights Robert Kleeb, County Clerk Joseph Ellii and Martin Lavan. Judge Carland presides over the 35th judicial district conMMjjedt of Livingston and Shiawasswroufties. At trie meeting it also waMrfinwigced that veteran Court Officer TomFInlan, 83 yean old had resigned effective Jan. 1 and Harold True had been appointed in his stead. True is a veteran radio announcer having been with WWJ for many years until he retired in 1964. True, 74 years old, resides in Howell. which they live. The proportion is higher by about 10.5 per cent than in 1950. The findings are based on an updating of the latest Department of Commerce figures, in line with more recent surveys by the University of Michigan and others. As on indication of the change that has been taking place, back in 1950 the official Census of Housing showed that 73.0 per cent of the local dwelling units were owner-occupied. By 1960, the ratio had reached 80.0 per cent. Now, in 1965, it is at an estimated 83.5 per cent. The figures for Livingston County compare favorably with those for the United States as a whole, where the home ownership ratio is 64.1 per cent. It is 77.8 per cent in Michigan. Much of the progress in this direction, locally and nationally, has taken place in the last 10 years, aided by rising prosperky and by government insurance of mortgages. With incomes on the increase, more and" more families have been achieving an economic position that has enabled them to acquire homes of their own. Their way was eased, considerably, by the availability of mortgage money at more favorable rates than were offered in earlier years. As a result, the proportion of homes with mortgages on them rose from 44 per cent in 1950 to 57 per cent by 1960. Although there has been much trading-up in recent years — people selling their homes to buy larger and fancier ones — there ha.s also been much money spent on remodeling, expanding and repairing Ihe older dwellings. Upwards of $11 billion per ye«r is now being spent for such purposes, according lo the Univershy pf Michigan survey. Kaeh year, rt finds, four out of 10 families make such outlays, averaging $550. It amounts U> $2211 per dwelling P«" year when Ihe cost is spread out on (Continued on page 5) 15 From County To Camp:|£xp|ainS Tax 55 More Called For Exams HOWELL - The step up in the military strength in Viet Nam will be reflected in the February draft for which 55 Livingston county men will take their physical examinations on Dec- 27.

'Curious Savage* A Huge Success The Livingston Players' "The Curious Savage" given Dec. 3rd and 4th under the direction of Bill Moore at the New HoweU High School was a huge success. It was such a success that to be fair one could not actually pinpoint one single performer as the "Star." From Bemice Hyne, the star, down the line to the smallest part each was "Star material" in his or her own right. Every performance Bernice H yne gives is better than the one before, and as Ethyl (Mrs. Savage) she rang the bell again. When performers become so expert in their roles you have a hit on your hands, and so it was with "The Curious Savage." Pat Taylor as Florence, Roger Lane as Hannibal, Rosemary Syppe Fairy May and Duane Wiedman as Jeffrey and Marguerite Wenzel as Mrs. Paddy had you misty-eyed with a lump in your throat;- the family, Harry Lawrence as Titus, the Senator Mrs. Savage's oldest son, Win Hubbell as Samuel, another son, and Lily Belle, the scatter4>radn muchmarried daughter, portrayed their parts in such a way you detested them, while Joann Wiedman as the nurse and John Stephens as Dr. Emmett made their parts very sympathetic. The Livingston Players were very fortunate in having the New Howell High School auditorium in which to give their performances. Everything about it was perfect, and its newness and beauty gave one a feeling of "plush." Coffee was served to the audience behind the scenes giving everyone an opportunity to see what "behind the scenes" is like.

Th e eyes of th e world were on him as the thousand s of miles between Rom e and New York were conquer - ed, so to speak, in an instan t of time . One canno t say now what will come of this. But, certainly , his moving addres s to th e Unite d Na - tions, while it may not have pleased everyone, must cause th e world leaders and thei r peoples to realize with greate r urgenc y th e need for findin g ways and mean s of resolving th e enmitie s tha t plague th e world and of reachin g understand - ings tha t will be fair to all and will serve all. If tha t proves to be BO, the jet ag-e has taken on a new and vast significance. Express Your Views The people are readin g news item s showing tha t stat e and federal government s are providin g billions of dollars for a variety of welfare and spendin g project s tha t break all records . Ther e may be excuses for much of th e spending , but one fact should be mad e clear in every newspape r repor t of so-calle d governmen t largess—neither th e state nor th e federal srovernmen t have a thin dime to pive away tha t the y don' t first take from th e overburdened private citizen taxpayer. Government s are just agents of the Newspape r headline s and stories should stress: "The taxpayin ? private citizens, rich and poor, do th e pivin?.' not th e government. " If thi s distinctio n was made in commen t in the press, if the word "taxpayers" was substitute d for th e words "state" and "federal" "jrovernors " or "presidents. " mor e people would be^in to realize tha t th e mone y governmen t "gives" is first taken from them in th e form of taxes. On much of the taxation , the people never get a chanc e to vote directly, but the y have th e right and obligation of expressing thei r view to t heir elected representatives , state and national , on measure s to tax thei r earning s and savings. The more governmen t mortgage s the taxpayers' futur e throug h extravaganc e and deficits, th e more does it feed th e fires of inflation , h i g h e r prices and depreciate d money . Lower Tax Rate s . . . More Tax Revenu e On occasion , reducin g a tax rat e can actuaU y produc e mor e revenu e for government . Tha t is th e case with th e capita l gains tax, accordin g to an authori - tative survey mad e for th e Ne w dl York Stock Exchang e which update s an earlier study made in 1960. The new data , \t is said, shows tha t investors regard themselve s mor e tightly locked in with thei r holding s in 1965 tha n in 1960. In othe r words, th e curren t federal capita l gains rat e of 25 per cen t discourage s them from selling and reinvesting . Lowerin g th e maximum capita l gains rat e to 20 per cent would promp t investors with locked in gains to release substan - tial amount s of capita l forVrejj>_ vestmen t purposes . And a reduc - tion of 12.5 per cent "would produce still mor e dramati c unlockin g of capit.nl. " th e study estimates . Specifically, the survev finds tha t reducin g the rat e to 12.5 per cent would produc e such results as these : Sales of securitie s by individuals would increas e to $67.8 billion. Tota l capita l appreciatio n of $29.2 billion would thereb y becom e subject to th e lower rate . Some $57 billion more of capita l would be free for reinvestmen t tha n under presen t rates. And th e Treasurv would receive an estimate d $2 billion more tha n unde r presen t rates. As matter s now stand , th e investor is th e victim of double taxation . The earning s of industr y are first taxed at th e high corporat e level — and the n whatever is distribute d to th e owners in th e form of dividend s is taxed again at th e individua l incom e tax rates. A reductio n in the capita l gains tax would help to remed y thi s injustice. And it would be a boon to th e Treasury . TODAY'S INVESTOR BY THOMA S E. O'HARA . Chairman . Board of Truttav t Nationa l Association of Invaatman t Clubs 1965 LEGISLATIV E SUMMAR Y — EDUCATIO N (Par t II ) Last week's colum n dealt primarily with th e estimate d $524 million m stat e aid to local school district s which repre - sents over half the tota l 1965-66 costs of elementar y and second - ary educatio n in Michiga n and the largest single item in this year's record-hig h state budget. Colleges an d Universitie s Toda y we shall discuss state aid to higher education . According to the Stat e Departmen t of v Publi c Instruction , Michiga n ••presentl y has 76 colleges and universities . This include s 48 privately-operate d institutions , 18 junio r an d communit y colleges, and 10 state-supporte d colleges and universities . In addition , ther e ar e four branche s of these state universities—MSU' s Oaklan d Universit y branc h at Rochester , U of M's two branche s at Flin t and Dearborn ; and Michiga n Tech' s branc h at Sault Ste. Marie . Soon anothe r state schoo l will be added unde r thi s year's legislative authoriza - tion for establishin g a now Sajjinaw Bay Stat e College. Stat e Fund s Appropriate d for Highe r Educatio n Highe r educatio n took appro x imatel y $216 million or th e sec ond largest chun k of the overall ataic? budget . Thi s include d some $177 million for genera l operation s plus approximatel y $89 million (over 60'/, ) of th e xUti-' s $63.5 million capita l out- Jay program . Of tho $177 million genera l opcratin g appropriatio n for institution s of highe r learning , $165.5 million will go to the; 10 slate.; MUpportitJ , drgrw-gritfitrn g '-ofand umviTsitias or $34 4 million over 1964-65) and $11.5 million will go to communit y colleges (up 51% or $3.9 million over 1964-65). Increase d enrollment s and faculty salary raises accoun t for most of the $34.4 million increase . One section of th e educatio n bill specifically provided $4.9 million for faculty salary improvement s in th e 10 institu - tions, rangin g from $80,000 for Gran d Valley Stat e College to $1,2 million for Wayne State- University . However , once appropriation s are made , the governin g board s of th e institution s may allocat e funds as the y see fit. Substantiall y higher enroll - ment s and a $41 increas e in th<4 state' s per pupil grant (from $234 to $275) were responsibl e for the $3.9 million hike in this year's communit y college Operatin g fund appropriations . The actua l per pupil cost is estimate d at a-bou t $600 a year, with local suppor t and tuitio n payment s makin g up the difference . ( jpilal Outlay—The *i№ million capilail outla y appropria - tion for higher educatio n includes some $33 million for the continuatio n or startin g of new constructio n and for the remod - eling of existing facilities; a $4 million grunt to communit y college dislrurls for new constructio n and remodeling ; and tho major fwrtion of the $2.8 million authorizatio n for preliminar y pirn s and .studies on a variety of buildin g projects . UnfortunuiHy , it is very difficult lo mak e a reaJislic appraisa l of individua l cupiluJ oiJtlmy .sim'e Inert ; is lillle' informa l ion ,'iv.jjla l e to indicat e the ultimat e costs of staffing, operating , and maintainin g these new facilities. In the field of higher educa - tion , I thin k certai n facts are worth y of note . Educationa l spendin g pressure s continu e to mount , as do enrollment s in both 4-year and communit y colleges. College costs are rising thre e time s as fast as the cost of living. Michiga n attract s far mor e non-residen t student s in state-supporte d institution s than it sends to othe r states. The overall tendenc y toward liberal governmen t spendin g — never mor e evident tha n in this year's Democrat-dominate d state and nationa l lawmakin g bodies — has throw n our educationa l system into a nearl y incredibl e cost race , with little regard on the part of its proponent s for the need s of othe r government-sup - porte d functions . And yet, secrec y continue s to enshrou d universit y finances , as opposed to the close legislative scrutiny applied to th e expenditur e of state funds by every othe r department , agency or public official. Legislative resentmen t over this secrecy is boun d to increase as Michigan' s surplu s disappear s and lawmaker s arc forced to propos e new and higher taxes to meet these everspiralm g request s for mone y from the state treasury . I am sure no one — at least not I — would questio n the need for adequat e educationa l oppor - tunitie s for all, HU T — ther e arc man y bottleneck s m our educationa l system. A recen t report by the 56-nKMiil)o r Blue Ribbon Committe e on Highe r Educatio n commente d on the responsibilit y of institution s of higher learnin g to cooperat e fully in the interes t of coordin - ated plannin g and actio n lo avoid unnecessar y and costly «luplicjlion of- program s iirxl to nuk e maximu m use of every • •diif;iliort;i l jlnNur .spent .

The Interstat e Compac t for Educatio n is a positive step toward meeting the futur e educationa l need s of th e nation , and th e active participatio n by all states should be encouraged . too man y others , have had a son killed in Vietnam you have paid the suprem e price , regardless of what you call it. The chance s are, if you have a son there , he is not ther e because he chose the militar y for a ca- , reer but because his nam e cam e up for draft. He will serve his two ye>ars and com e home , or not, dependin g on the fickle fortune s of war, but it's a long, long odds bet he won't stay in after his two years because ther e is no percentage . Suppose , on th e othe r hand", l h e caree r • minde d militar y man , I don' t mea n the West Pointer , but th e drafte d or enlisted private , was paid by his governmen t enough to afford a norma l way of life, a wife, hom e and family, he might then elect to stay in th e service. If he dSd, iit is a certai n fact tha t he would be a far bette r equipped soldier in four years tha n he wsas in two years, ad infinitum . I have talked to a numbe r of young men who really liked life in the service and would have staved in it if, as an In - dian , the y could have share d some of the benefit s of a chief. With th e foreign policy we are pursuin g it seems a sure tfnch tha t we are going to have a standin g arm y of great size for a long tim e to come . Then why not have a seasoned , well train - ed, dedicated , good one . A lad in the service for two years has little tim e to becom e a proficient soldier but he ha s a great chanc e of becomin g a dead one . With a backlog of seasoned veteran s It wouldn' t be necessar y to thro w green troop s into combat . Now to get back to th e original premis e of thi s message which was: Pu t th e schoo l dropout, th e hoodlu m element , in a special branc h of th e service for one year and the n in the regular service for two years— they like to fight (even thoug h most time s the y have the odds all in thei r favor), so let them . Secondly , upgrad e th e service man' s pay scale to a caree r status. It could conceivabl y eliminat e the draft entirely , except in all-ou t war. By TOM KIZE R Draft and delinquents ! What antonyms ! Th e draft, on th e one han d 9ays, "Greetings, " and then , in effect, "you ar e to ropor t " for inductio n into the arme d forces on ." No if, ands, buts, or maybes — just be there . Delinquents , on the othe r hand , are discreetl y consulte d by a social worker, a special judge, and if thing s haven' t gone too far, by a representa - tive of the newly formed Jo b Corp s and a planne d enrollmen t in a federal sponsore d and paid for trainin g p r o f a m . If thing s have gone "too far," the young man is "enrolled " in a correc - tive institutio n such as B.V.S. In eithe r case, he ha s beat th e draft. But tht< lad who ha s live! th e clean life, who ha s been a credit to his family, school and community , is herde d into a bus and dumpe d unceremoni - ously at his inductio n cen^ r some cold, gray mornin ? The cleane r and healthie r he has livfxJ, th e mor e certai n are his chance s of windin g up in Uncl e Sam' s army . At presen t his service tric k is a two-ye.a r term and if we aren' t in a worse mess internationall y at the end of tha t tim e tha n wo aro now, he is\fro e to bow out and anotheifrecrui t takes his piace.

Georg e Romne y continue s unde r heavy fire from democrati c legislators. Th e first finally got tired of the badgerin g and resigned hiss post. In th e first case, Labor Com - missione r Roy W. Johns , th e early criticis m was mild. One or two legislators commente d he must not be doin g his job becaus e industria l accident s were on th e rise. It wound up as a full-scale investigation of th e Labor De - partment , primaril y from th e standpoin t of Johns ' administra - tive directive s an d decisions . He ha d been in th e post less tha n two years when th e first barbs were thrown . Even before John s cam e un der fire, Democrati c lawmakers were talkin g at least privately abou t th e Republica n appointe e headin g th e Insuranc e Department , Allen Mayerson . His previou s connection s with various insuranc e companie s were the sensitive target the y chose . Some of these firms did and other s did not operat e in Michigan . Majo r poin t in th e continuin g attac k against Mayerso n is tha t he continue d to do some consultin g work after he was appointe d to th e state post. It is no t to be decide d her e whethe r eithe r John s or Mayer - son was or is doin g th e assigned ?ob properly . Because of (lie vtsiy ikUm c of th e jobs, appointee s are mor e than likely to have man y outsid e connections . If the y didn't , the y probabl y would no t be considere d for appointment . And who is to say whethe r one or two years is even long enough for a top administrato r to work into a job and do it effectively? What should be noted , as evidence d in th e labor cominis - sioner case, is tha t enough badgering by th e opposin g part y could probabl y lead even th e best public servant to decid e it wasn't worth th e fight. BIGGE R RISK S Michiga n motorist s have been doin g relatively well thi s year in cuttin g down th e highway deaths , at least as compare d with th e recor d high 1964 fatality count . With th e two year-en d holidays falling on weekends, however, th e travelin g public is expecte d to be bigger tha n usual, Familie s whose breadwinne r would have to retur n to work the day after a mid-wee k noli- 'day will be mor e likely to be makin g weekend trip s to spend tim e with relatives. Since th e temptatio n is great to travel too far for a holida y and stay a few hour s late r tha n usual, thu s necessitatin g a hur - ried trip homeward , th e likelihood for careless driving is increased, sharply. Year-en d holiday s traditional - ly run high on rea d accidents , injurie s and deaths . Uncertai n weatfier is anothe r of man y factor s involved, While th e numbe r of motoris t fatalitie s droppe d considerabl y in th e first three-quarter s of th e year, state officials have called for renewe d consciousnes s of traffic safety durin g th e remainin g weeks, As h e ha s every holida y since he took office, Gov. Georg e Romne y will again be calling for an "enlightene d motorist " on th e roads. Th e periodi c "Lights on for Safety" cam - paign will again be in effect, hopin g tha t each motoris t who drives with aut o headlight s on both day and night will remin d ano'he r driver to be careful. "Even at th e maximu m effectiveness of traffic safety measures , th e most indispens - ible elemerr t in traffic safety is the mora l responsibilit y of th e driver, " th e governo r has said. This should be remembere d if gay, holida y trip s are to main - tain tha t atmosphere . LOTS OF BEE F Michiga n is generally though t of as an industria l state, but agricultur e claim s second place in incom e production . Stat e Agricultur e Departmen t officials boast abou t Michigan' s weather . Because Michiga n is coole r i-n summe r and warme r in winter tha n most norther n states, the y say, farmer s can raise a great numbe r of different crop s in large quantities .

WIHRMMUMRJ Letters To I The Editor | Dear Editor: DANANG S. VIETNAM I have a spare few minutes, so I thought I would utilize the time to thank you for sending me the Argus every week. The City and its people have changed so that I don't know many you write about, but there is still many that I do know, and it kind of brings a touch of the Ole home town all the way over here to the Danang sector of South Vietnam where I am now located. I have been here since May of this year and you would be surprised how much it has changed since yfe've been here. You would have to see it to believe it. The economy and living conditions of the Vietnamese people has raised 50 percent. X don't like it a bit being here away from my family and my loved one's but I'm here and I can see the good we're doing and I'm proud to be a part of it Some of the nasty jobs that go with the people to people program, like ridding the corn try of the VietCong are neces sary and some of the methods are crude but it has to be done. I will be home somet&ne in late March or April, and any questions you might like to ask me I'm sure I can give you a satisfactory answer, Sincerely, Sgt. Jerry Bossardt 13715001 USMC 3rd Engineer Battalion (FVd) Support Company %FPO San Francisco 96601 Dear Editor: First, I want to renew my subscription for your paper, and check is enclosed. Second, I wish to correct certain statements made in the front page article, fei your issue, about my appointment as Municipal Judge, fox the City of Howell, to finish the unexpired term of the Hon. Wilfred H. Erwin, resigned. I did not receive a degree of de jure from Northwestern University Law School. The legal dictionary which I have defines Se Jute as "rightfully" "of right" "lawfully" "by legal title." Of right: "distinguished from de gratia (by favor)." "By law: distinguished from de aequitaite (by equity)." The term Is variously applied as, a king or officer de jure, or a wife de jure." The degree I got from Northwestern University, on June 30, 1932, was Juris Doctor. I served the County of Livingston, only for a period of eight years, as prosecuting attorney, for the period as follows: 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, and again 1943, 1944, for which term I was appointed by the late Hon. Joseph H. Collins, when the Hon. Joe P. Gates was called into the service, and I was elected without opposition on either ticket, for the period from 1944 through 1946, a total of eight years. Also, the name of my daughter who is attending Albion College, is Jane Ann, not Jean. The name of my younger child, who is a freshman at Howell High School, is Elizabeth Evelyn. I will agree that her nickname is "Betsy." If you have run out of material for (ids issue, print this letter, if not, file it in the appropriate receptacle. However, I do think you should make a note that I only served the County for eight years as prosecutor. Mr. Ervrin served twelve years and I believe Judge Lyons served twelve years, but I was only privileged to hold that office for a period of eight years. I enjoy your paper, even though you make mistakes. That is why I am subscribing for another year. Very tiuly yours, Stanley Berrfiman (We are sorry Mr. Berriman is upset because the Argus- Dispatch conf erred- another degree on him.) Dear Editor, We would like to extend a public thank you to the men of the Brighton Fire Department. At a quarter to three, the morning after Thanksgiving, they were called to put out a fire, that had started with the electrical wiring in our upstairs closet. The entire upstairs, of our house was completely in flames Every member of our household was out of the building, but they- did- everything they could to save our home, including going up oti the roof to fight the blazo. This h;id <rrtaWy put them In physical danger on our oehalf. it was surely through their efforts, that our hoitso w.is kopt from burning lo Ihc ground. The homo had'born in Bewrly La Rolle's family for many yivir.;. Tlioy made it possible for us to re- .Iniild Ihc d:ini;ig»xl sivtions, :niri suvivi inosi of thr old but invpftuvablo inwi work willi whidi il was decorated Their intogrety was such that fireman came up with prices of jewelry and money, that they had found around in the house, making sure that, we were not left with out cash after our home had become suddenly uninhabitable. A few days after thtt fire a call was placed to see If the baby's toys and our dfebes were safe to use because of the chemicar Uxa used in the five fighting. With the aid of a Mate trccper they immediately checked to see whether or not the substance was toxic. We bad our answer in fifteen minutes. We shall always be grateful to the Brighton volunteer fire Department. Beverly and Jack La Belle Know Your Michigan Law By Attorney General Frank J. Kelley (This is a public service article explaining in general terms a provision of Michigan law. Individuals who wish to determine the effect of aay law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) Injuries suffered by any child under 17, which have or may have been inflicted by a person responsible for the child's care, must now be reported by the examining physician to both prosecuting attorney and state department of social welfare. Such reporting is now possible for the first time under Michigan's new "battered child" law (Act 98, PA 1964). Law enforcement and welfare personnel have long shared with the medical profession the knowledge that many so-called accidental injuries to infants are deliberately inflicted by parents or guardians. Until passage of the battered child law, however, officials were helpless to act, because of legal prohibitions forbidding doctors to disclose any information made known during physician-patient contact. The new law, by releasing the doctor from secrecy, makes it possible to establish the nature and cause of adultinflicted injuries to children, to prosecute the adults responsible, and — most important — to remove the child from the custody of the adults who inflicted the injuries. Already several such physically abused children have been placed with foster or adoptive parents under the 1964 battered childiaw. These include a small adopted girl whose parents tried to improve her homework by whipping her more than a hundred times in a single session. Several others, including some reported by the Crippled Children Commission, are under investigation by state and local officials But for some, it is too late. An infant boy of thirteen months was reported "dead on arrival" at the hospital. His head and body were covered with infected lesions resulting from neglect. Reporting authorities were not sure whether immediate cause of death was malnutrition or from internal injuries, including old and new fractures They are sure, however, that his brothers and sisters ought to be in the custody of adults able and willing to provide proper care for children. Unfortunately, this case is not unique. The new law, for the first time, makes it possible for the law to help the physically abused child. Pinckney Acts For U.S. Help PINCKNEY — Village President Merwin Campbell attended a newly-formed Social Action committee at Howell Recreation Center last Tuesday night Other Pinckney-ites on the committee are Dorothy Nickle and Francis Shehan. The committee is formed in order to seek federal funds to aid the county to such programs as Operation Headstart for underpriveleged children. Representatives of the Wash* tenaw County Planning Commission are expected to meet ,this Thursday night with Pine* kney Village Council to tell them about their set-up. Howard Thayer is arranging the get-together. George Roth agreed at Council meeting last Thursday to contact Hans Hogard of the Livingston County Planning Commission and, if possible, a state planning representative, to come to Pinckney to brief Council or how they may proceed. Thayor and Roth learned last month in Washington, D.C. that m order for villages and townships to avail themselves of federal funds for improvements, they must have un organized planning commission with plans drafted on paper.

Face d with the possibility of closing th e library because of th e lack of funds, friends, P.T.A. member s an d student s swung into action . A Ta g Da y was proclaime d lo furnish financia l aid, an d mother s and student s sold tags on th e street . Fraternal , social and churc h groups adde d thei r donation s to help keep th e librar y open . Th e public was arouse d to the need of th e continuatio n of a City Librar y and throug h letter s and publicit y in the Argus, a petitio n was circii/ - lated to approv e a vote of th e people , tha t a tax of 1/5 mill be grante d for the suppor t of a library. This vote carrie d unani ^ mously and this ta x suppor t was grante d in 1935. It was at this time , on advice from th e Stat e Library, thait th e P.T.A - member s relinquishe d thei r sponsorshi p of th e City Librar y to th e people of th e City of Brighton . A Librar y Board of six elected member s decide d to increas e the library hour s to ten , an d th e library starte d to grow, soon spreadin g out int o th e counci l chambers . In Decembe r 1950, th e Library Board met with th e City Counci l and requeste d tha t th e street floor room , vacate d by the Fir e Department , be converted into new quarter s for th e library. The Counci l agreed to this and th e remodelin g began. A new floor was laid, new ceiling and lights installe d and the shelves moved downstairs .

Appreciatio n of this move was immediatel y felt in the increas e in circulatio n an d registration. Resident s and visitor s were suddenl y aware tha t we had a City Library. In April 1957 the city had tho opportunit y to purchas e the old Detroi t Edison substatio n on the mill pond .

Look sharp, or once again you will stumble into bed at 5 a.m. Christmas morning, a haggard, read-eyed victim of that annual horror, the unassembled toy. In olden times parents had two ways of getting oys to give their children for Christmas. They could buy something at the store or make something at home. But American busine-s ingenuity-thai good wide-awake mass-producing American enterprise- has come up with a third choice: toys you buy at the store and make at home. We look ahead and here it is Christmas Eve. The decorated tree twinkles and glitters with the joy of the season. The kids have finally been coaxed to steep. Mom and Dad have filled the stockings, wrapped the laaMnfciute gifts, heaped the packages high beneath the tree. With all else ready they bring Junior's M0 fire truck, the coveted treasure, to take its place of honor. When the crate is opened, what do they find? No fire truck, but a box full of loose metal and a stem iniunction from the factory to get busy and make a fire truck. If they • are lucky, it is done by dawn. So prepare for the ordeal this way. Get everything possible done earlier. Leave Christmas Eve for the tasks that are unavoidably last-minute.

Explains Tax (Continued from Page 1) widespread misconception on whether or not the exemption applies to your current tax bill for county and school taxes. It does not. The cour.ty and school taxes currently being mailed are not eligible for exemption. "And last," he said, "how much will the exemption amount to in dollars? The state will pay the taxes on $2500 of your state equalized valuation. So if your equalized valuation is $5000 and the tax rate total is 22 mills, your tax bill would be $110, the state paying on $2500 of this valuation which is . half of it, then the state will be paying $55 of the tax. Or if your state equalized valuation is $10,000 the maximum of valua tion to be eligible, then your bill at say 22 milts tax levy would be $220, the state paying on $2500 of this valuation would pay $55 and you would be paying the balance of $165." County Hikes Yule Seal Gifts LANSING - Early contribu. tiorw to Michigan's 1983 Christma's Seal campaign have been coming in at an increased rate throughout the entire state, reports the Michigan Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association. Livingston County contributions are at the $2,818.00 mark at the end of the first three. weeks of the campaign as compared to $2,361 at the same time tost year. Total contribu. tions received for the state are $525,254.00 as compared to $458,100.00 at this time last year. Campaign chairman, Mrs. Ellen Ziegler of East Lansing, said the increased contribution reflect an awareness of Michigan citizens of the ever present danger of TB and the fact that Christmas Seal contributions are used to fight TB.

Since returning, I have sought some manner of indicating to these sons of Michigan that their state has not forgotten them and will be especially thinking of them during this holiday season. I have determined thai this can be accompli-hed by sending a representative gift package to every Mchigan GI we can identify and locate in South Vietnam. To make this <a real peopleto- people effort, I have enlisted the support and cooperation of every Michigan citizen as well " u " ' ":? business industry, agriculture and organized hbor. Every Michigan serviceman who is serving in Viet Nam and whose name and address was sent to me last week will be su>n! a package of Michigan products. Mot of these goods are to'ing contributed through the generosity of our businesses and indu tries. Last week I also sent a letter to Michigan University and college student body presidents l>cinting uut that one of the major problems in this operation is the packaging of the goods to be sent overseas Therefore, I invited them to bring a carload of fellow student leaders from their campus and to join m assembly ing these packages in Detroit on December 11.

D.nEwiNG FURNITURE ACROSS FROM MILL POND BRIGHTON AC 9-7010 MICHIGAN PAGE SIX LIVINGSTON COUNTY'S WATCHDOG FOR 85 YEARS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1965 Coach Quits At Pinckney PINCKNEY — Several problems faced the Pinckney School Board last Thursday night when it met in regular session at the high school. Don Gibson, yovenunent toucher, told Supt. Wes Reader and the School Board Thursday that he was resigning as coach of the eighth and ninth grade basketball program. He expressed discontent with "some changes" made in the athletic program about which he did not elaborate. He said he "intends to voice my opinion in print and verbally" concerning the "curtailment of the program" at a tone when "facilities are becoming available." Gibson appeared at the meetting with a Brighton attorney who did not comment. The Board left the acceptance of the resignation up to Reader since it did not terminate a teaching contract but only the extra basketball duties. Reader said Gibson may be upset because practice time for hi* basketball boys has been curtailed "due to the small gym and the fact that the varsity and JV teams have had to use it most of the time. Several citizens approacnea ihe board with various school bus problems. Two wwnen with kindrrgartners objected to iheir children having to cross Patterson Lake Rd to wait for ihe bus on the comer of Kelly Rd. Last year the buses travelid u route from the opposite direction and were able to pick the children up on their own side of the street. Buses now are so large, Robert Dunn bus superintendent, told the board, that they must be routed in circle routes so as to avoid backing up or trying to turn around in a dangerously small area. Thus the changing routine and of bus stops. The board concluded that for the children to cross Patterson Lake Rd. at that point where there is dear vision is less risky than any other solution they might come up with. Glen Smith of Rush Ltffce complained to the board that his child had been "abused by a bus driver.*1 He said that the slate police had been notified, and be wished board action against the driver. The Board appointed members Bond Collier and Jack Swanson to meet with the bus driver, Dunn, Glen Smith, the Smith child, and his opponent in tfce fight that apparently caused so much confusion on the bus that the driver "backhanded" him. In $eir get-together, the Board hopes they may amicably "get to the bottom of the matter." Clarkston Routs Brighton 70 - 59 BRIGHTON — Shooting from all angles and positions, Clarkston' s Dan Fife gunned 31 points against the Brighton Bulldogs in a 70-59 Clarkston victory. Fife, shooting from the inside and outside, caused Brighton coach Bob Marks to claim, "He is one of the lop players in the area." Clarkston proved more than a one-man team, however, as Rod Allen scored 19 points to aid the Clarkston victory. Bruce Evenson scored 22 points for the Bulldogs and Rich Musch contributed 13 to the Brighton total. Brighton actually out-rebounded Clarkston by 44-28. Clarkston, however, had the shooting and free-throw statistics in its favor. Brighton could only convert 11 of 29 free throws while Clarkston hit 18 of 28. The Bulldogs had a field-goad percentage of 33 per cent while Clarkston had a 38 per cent mark. Pinckney Plays South Lyon PINCKNEY-Ypsikmti Roosevelt Roughriders basketball team took home a 6543 victory from Pinckney Nov. 30. The Pirates got off to one of Us best starts in some time, but the Roughriders kept their heads and after a slow start, really got rolling. The Pirates led at the beginning of the game — for four minutes into the first quarter. Then the Roughriders took the lead and no amount of fighting by the Pirates could bring it back. Pinckney was behind the Roosevelt Five by only nine points at the half. The Roughriders turned it on — and kept it going through the fourth to down the Pirates. Jim Douglas, the only Pirate in double figures, made 12 points and pulled nine rebounds off the boards to lead in that department too. i Wales, Houk, Van Black, and Guider were high men for Ypsilanti with 16, 14, 11 and 11 points respectively.

Brooklyn, working from a skillrul fast break, opened up a 41-20 margin at half time and coasted the rest of the game, George Rothfuss led the Brooklyn attack with 16 points and David Miller was not far behind with 14. Whitmore Lake was not oniy plagued by ball-control errors but also managed to hit only 23 per cent of its shots from the floor. Kevin Caskey was highpoint man for the Trojans with 11 points. This was the first Lakeland C game for Whitmore Lake which now has a 1-1 season record.

The council, displeased with the spotty lighting in down town Brighton asked the business men to leave their colorful Christmas displays lighted, "Twenty four hours if necessary ,in order to add to the festive atmosphere in Brighton, and make it a cheerful place to shop." In other business the council discussed a study of some portions of the city charter which do not conform with the present state statutes. The changes under study by the council would make provisions for a municipal court, and possibly a traffic violations bureau. There were three bids* on the high school sewer project.

Slugs Trooper HARTLAND - State Trooper Harry Hayes, of the Brighton Post is sporting a black eye, but the Hartland man who hit him will have plenty of time to consider his action in the Livingston county Jail. According to the troopers, Hayes had been sent to a property damage accident on Hacker road. David Halbriter, 18, had crashed his car into a tree, however he and his companion, 21 year old Joseph Queen from Fenton were uninjured.

Halbriter faces charges of as* sualt and drunk and disorderly, and Queen is charged with being drunk and disorderly. 6 From Brighton In 'M' Messiah ANN ARBOR - Six residents of Brighton were members of the University of Michigan's Choral Union which presented Handel's "Messiah" before a capacity audience Sunday afternoon in Hill Auditorium. They were Alice E. Newcomb, Jane Owens, Elizabeth Eisenhardt, James R. Raub, George H. Eisenhardt a n d Glenn E. Miller. This year's production of the "Messiah," under the able direction of Lester McCoy, at* tained a high level of performance that will set a standard for future groups to emulate. Three concerts were given this year, all to capacity houses, which is an indication of the high regard members of this c o m m u n i t y have for this Baroque masterpiece. The third a n d concluding performance Sunday afternoon was the 48th of a consecutive series dating back to 1939, and it was the 71st time that the Choral Union has presented the "Messiah" since me foundtog of the Musical Society in 1891.

It comprises 57 separate numbers for soloists, chorus and orchestra. This year's performance consisted of 23 of these selections. It is evident that the popularity of this work will demand many more performances in the years to come. This year's soloists w e r e Benita Valente, soprano; Doris Mayes, mezzo-soprano; Stanley KoLk, tenor, and M a l c o l m Smith, bass. Mr. Kolk's opening aria, "Comfort Ye My People Saith the Lord," knmedi* ately made the audience aware of tfre high standard of pec fonaance they might expect to hear. The 1965 version of the "Messiah" had one s i g n i f i c a n t change from previous years' presentations. The orchestral portion of the work was played by 35 members of the Detroit Symphony. This not only solved previous problems of recruiting sufficient capable players to coyer all of the parts but more importantly it gave a professional quality to the entire performance which has long been overdue. This became apparent when Mr. McCoy gave the downbeat for the Overture.

PINCKNEY - The public address system in the Hamburg school wil be paid off, according to directions from the School Board, in order to save erne $200 in interest charges. The balance on the sound system is some $1,000. The School Board agreed that hereafter all insurance will be put up for bid to bidders within the school district. Mrs. Christina Thomas has resigned as third grade teacher, according to Hamburg Principal McCluskey, because of her health. Joan Shaunessey will fill out this semester in her place, and second semester Miss Carol Miller will take over the class. Mrs. Lavey, democrat, and Mrs Vaness Brown, Republican, were appointed to terms on the Board of Canvassers for the Board of Education at their session Thursday. The School Board agreed to try out a computer in the high school for a year starting Jan. 1. Evalution will be made then to decide whether to retain its "services." Added work when the new school LS occupied would probably mean putting on extra help. The cost of the computer, hopefully, will pay off by avoiding hiring more help, freeing present help for other office work, and will take care of the continually increasing statistics that are required in payroll operations. The bus committee, Lyle Kinsey and Tom Line, investigated stops on Portage Lake Blvd. and concluded that the safest solution to the problem of bus stops is for the driver to make one stop between the entrance and ex* of Fox Pointe 1. All students will walk from both direction to meet the bus at that stop, the only one with visibility that comes up to ^anrt-vrds set by State Police. The Board accepted this recommendation of the cuuMUtttee. Try This Holiday Recipe For Perfect Xmas Turkey Forget all those old fashioned methods of stuffing, trussing, constant basting and watching your Christmas turkey this year, Follow these Jw* few easy tips and you'll find turkey so easy to prepare, you'H serve it over and over during the months ahead. When you buy your turkey allow at least 1 pound per person, more If you expect to serve it for two meals. This will provide for seconds and sandwiches. First thing, rinse neck and giblets, place in saucepan with seasonings and water. Let simmer 2 hours or longer. You'll use this broth in stuffing and gravy, add the giblets chopped, to the gravy. Next, rinse turkey quickly in cool water and pat dry. Don't bother to stuff. Instead, rub inside with salt and place several slices of onion, a stalk of celery with leaves and a sprig of parsley In cavity. Fold neck skin under back and fasten with skewers. Tie drumsticks to tail. Twist wing tips onto back, 11 desired. Bake stuffing separately In a foil-lined casserole for last hour of roasting. Baste with a few spoonfuls of drippings from turkey. Prepare from herb seasoned stuffing croutons, and follow package directions. Add extra touches of oysters, chestnuts or browned sausage meat. This ensures a dellclously light, digestible, thoroughly cooked stuffing. Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil and place turkey on a rack In the pan. Brush all over with soft butter or margarine. When turkey is lightly brown, cover with a "tent" of foil. To make tent, tear of! a sheet of foil 5 to 10 Inches longer than bird. Crease through center and place over bird. Hold in place by crimping it lightly at breast and over drumsticks. This keeps turkey moist without basting and prevents overbrowning. Snip the string holding drumsticks during last hour of roasting so heat penetrates Inside of thighs.

Our son ana daughier-in-law, Dick and Diane, returned home last Tuesday afternoon afterspending two weeks wjih her j-i-enis, brothers and sisters in Ashdown and Texarkana, Ark. Several family get - togclhcrs were enjoyed by all as this was the first ,r4> home fur Diane since their marriage last February. Enroute home they went to Fort Knox, Ky., (where he graduated from bas.c training) to visit M. P. Donald Ferguson, who was a buddy of Dick's while in the States and Viet Nam. The reunion with Don was wonderful but were sad to be informed by him that anolher buddy of theirs, Cpl. Kichard Green of Oklahoma, had been killed in Viet Ncm. Following their visit with Don, they visited my cousin's son and daughter-in-law, the GLen Gehringcrs, also of Fort Knox. Much to their surprise, Sheriff and Mrs. Lawrence Gehringer of Howell were there visiting their son and daughter-in-law and children. They had attended retirement ceremonials that day for Glen as he was retiring from the United States Army after twenty same years of service. Diane reports Chat her sisters are planning on visiting them some tiune this winter as they would Hike to experience some of our snowy days. (As of this week Monday, when this was written, perhaps this will be the time to visit Michigan.) Mrs. Ruth McLucaa of 5023 Bkrwell Street was honored .guest Sunday afternoon, Nov. 28, when a reception was held in the Fellowship Hall art the First Methodist Church in Ypsilartti for her and Miss Edith Buffett, director of Christian Womens Education. Mrs. Me- Lucas, the church secretory, was presented an orchid cor* sage, a polaroid camera, a lovely pin and earring set as well as several individual gifts from friends and associates of the church. She has accepted a position in the graduates records office at the University of Michigan in Arm Arbor, Miss Buffett, who was presented a set of Interpreters Bible Commentaries, widl succeed Mrs. Nello Kenady who retired this fall after several yoars service with the Ann Arbor district. Miss L i n d a Woodbridge, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Woodbridge of 10448 Me- Oabe Rd., and a 1965 graduate of Brighton High, fas a freshman at the University of Detroit this fall. Thirty students, including Linda, from this architectural college are leaving New York Dee. 18 for a three weeks trip to Egypt. A number of studerfts from colleges in Cleveland and New York will be Included in this tour of that country. The main purpose of this trip is to visit the Holy Land where the Tomb of Rameses II is located before it is demolished in preparation for the new Asam Dam that Is going to be built there. Linda, we hope you have a wonderful time on your trip and would be happy if you would obtain some snapshots of yourself at the tomb as well as other interesting places you will visit, to share with our readers when you return home.

Chuck Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Davis of ChHson, was home from Oakland University at Rochester, over the Thanksgiving holidays. Chuck is also a 1965 graduate of Brighton High and u freshmen at Oakland this fall. Have you ever driven by a large state hospital and seen the sad, bewildered faces of men and women peering out of windows, walking through the yards hand in hand like tiny children, sitting on park benches with hands folded or just lying on the grass resting? This is a mighty sad sight for loved crej of these p a t i e n t s motorists just driving by the hospital. This is a picture of most any of our state hospitals in Michigan. I was told that the personnel at Caro State Hospital and the Caro Parents Association Inc. (an organization of friends and relatives) are taking steps to purchase a large bus to be used to take patients for an afternoon'6 outing of sightseeing and to see some of the outside world rather than always remaining inside looking out. The State of Michigan can not purchase buses for these hospitals, so if each reader in Brighton would send just one boot of any kind of Michigan trading stamps, perhaps by next summer many patients wtH have their first glimpse of the outside since admittance, through the tfeoughfuineas of we Brightonites who are so fortunate to have h e a l t h y loved ones and are willing to part with some little item that one book to being saved for. Even this would be a wonderful project for some organization here to work on, as thousands of books will be needed and, with the help from many cities in Michigan, can be accomplished. This is the time of year when giving to others is such a wonderful feeling, so let's all send one book of stamps to: Bus Fund, Caro State Hospital for Epileptics, Caro, Mich. Saturday evening, Dec. 4, approxiately 30 m e m b e r s and friends of the Adutt Club of the First Presbyterian Church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Michaels for a pot-luck dinner.

Yours truly tried to contact the Doug PeeraaHs Monday to get further information on the men folks of that family, who had shot their bucks. Understand that their son Tim shot one last week and that Doug shot a 11 point buck early Saturday morning. I'm not sure how old Tim is now, but he must be in his early teens and regardless, ii is always a thrill when our sons get their first buck, Congratulations, Tim. Phones were pretty busy, especially these party lines, this week. Couldn't reach the Jerry Thomases, former tenants in our apartment, who now live in the Dan Tompkins home at School Lake, which they purchased early this summer. Heard that Carol got her deer and I presume it was somenear Mio. Bet that Carol was where near her parents home some excited gal saying nothing of Jerry. Let me know if you got yours too, aye Jerry?

Unfortunately, many people who want the former wind up with the latter. The time they hoped to spend relaxing from chores at home is used for burdensome maintenance jobs around the "vacation" house. Vacation homes, more than any other kind of building, should be short on work and long on fun. That's why they should rate as "low-maintenance" buildings, both inside and outside. Low-maintenance d e s i g n begins with the selection of suitable exterior materials. Pre-finished mineral fiber siding, for example, can be cleaned simply by an occasional washing. The material comes with a long-lasting acrylic coating in a wide range of colors and textures. Inside, vinyl asbestos floors, plastic laminate countertops and tables, furniture coverings of washable synthetics, and fiberglass curtains can make housekeeping easier. The time these materials save you from working around the house is time that can be spent relaxing. And that's what vacation homes are for.

It gives a car a completely one-ofa- kind look that sets it apart from all the others. On the wilder side are some of the new deep pile fabrics with rakish animal looks made with Dynel modacrylic. Pictured here is a white Plymouth Fury convertible completely upholstered in a tiger-like soft, deep pile. The car is an exact duplicate of the pace car (except for the Dynel upholstery) at the Indianapolis 500 race held May 31, and was ^iven as first prize in an Enco "Tiger-at-Indy" service station contest preceding the race. The lucky winners were Mr. and Mrs. Welden L. Wuensch of Indianapolis. Trying out the driver's seat is a lucky member of the Indianapolis Festival Queen's court. She loves tigers.

If you don't mind doinsr your shopping in a service station. it's an 18-inch battery-powered toy yacht that runs equally well on land or on water. What, you might ask, is the connection between service stations and toy yachts? It's simply that Phillips Petroleum Company executives were so impressed with the number of pleasure craft which Americans owned last year—nearly 8 million— they decided a lot of people would come in to their 23,000 retail outlets to get a real bargain in a toy boat, a $1Q-$12 value for $4.98. The Phillips 66 Power Yacht is an authentically designed cruiser made from rugged plastic. An ingenious development permits it to be operated amphibiously, using only a single power plant. The toy is packaged in a box that converts to a dry land marina and contains useful information on International Code flags, water safety rules and nautical rules of the road. Parents who have been bitten by the boating bug will want their youngsters to learn marine safety early. And this latest toy is engineered to help.

Some say the basset hound is a small bloodhound on a dachshund's legs. The Subject h Skill Too many parents still think of tuys as a way of keeping children occupied. This outlook ignores a valuable educational less o n t h a t toys ate an important means of developing physical and mental skills in the young, stimulating imaginations and bolstering self confidence. Ideal Toy Corporation, in discussions with numerous psychologists, has learned that toys arc H serious business with youngsters. They work hard at play and use toys as a tool to learn about themsehvs and test thuir progress. Pre-sehool children, from two onwards, get a feeling for future reading exercises through tductitur jiuzzlv phiqmx, which assist them in recognizing differences in size, position and color of three-dimensional objects they tit together. Tests of ey<* and hand coordination begin to intrigue youngsters soon after they have left the play pen. Three year old* exhibit a tinkering sense and love to dabble with hammer and pejf sets. With a toy such as Ruby Holts, they can manipulate hammers, wrenches and bolts in putting together and taking apart moveable parts, while enjoying the loud noises that result from their efforts. The competitive element figures more prominently in toy play as youngsters approach school age. It becomes not only important for a youngster to test himself, but to see how he fares in relation to others. Good for coordination competitions at this stage are darts and ring tossing sets, which introduce athletic prowess. Activities involving balance become more popular from „ simple straight line walking tesf.s to operating games such as Tip- It, which requires a steady hand in t ransferring plastic disks from one pole to another. Board games offer a particular challenge to a youngster's mind. Psychologists point out that this type of activity helps children to understand the use cf rules, to think in numbers and generally to become more socially adept.

O'Hara Chairman, Board of Trustees National Association of Investment Clubs Q. Our investment club bought General Motors a couple of years ago and the price has gone up about 25 percent since then. I've been trying to get the other members to vole to sell it. Isn't there some sort of rule of thumb that says "sell' when a stock has advanced a certain percentage? A. I know of no valid reason why one should sell just be cause a stock has gone up. The percentage of rise in the price of a stock is ki itself no basis for selling. General Motors stock has gone up m price primarily, I believe, because sales and earn* ings are up. This has increased its value. There is reason to think the sales and earnings will go up even more in the foreseeable future. Whether you sell or hold a stock that has gone up in price depends on the reason why the stock has gone up in price. Some stocks have gone up m price on a basis of "expected' rather than "actual" sales and earnings gains. Such stocks are usually selling at price/earnings raitios that are way out of line and their prices stand to drop quickly in a general market leveling off. Rather than selling a stock simply because it has risen in price, I would suggest you sell: 1. After careful study convinces you that its sales and earnings show no sign of increasing. 2. When your observations milicate thart it is selling at a price far out of line with its earnings. This is usually a stock whose price is artificially inflated by a public temporarily "taken" with it. It is likely to tell at any time when it's replaced by a new glamour stock in the public eye. Q. I think a stock custodian account for my children would be a good way to build a col lege fund for them. However, I want to set it up so that I maintain control of the buying and selling of stocks. How can this be done? A. Yours is a very good idea. Not only will your children have a college fund, but they will just naturally be drawn into an interest in the stock market since they will be personally involved wirth money that will become their own. Here is how a custodian's account works: you buy stocks ki the name of the custodian for the minor. The custodian is in sole charge of the stocks and dividends from that point on until the minor becomes of legal age, but he is limited as to what he can spend the money on. Dividends must be spent in behalf of the children. They cannot be spent on food or clothing, or on other things that parents might reasonably be expected to supply. They oar be spent on special purchases that are going to benefit the child chiefly — and they, of course, can be spent on higher eduoa tion. One of the reasons for giving stock to children is to give assets periodically within the tax free gift limits and get the funds out of your estate so that estate taxes will not have to be paid on them at the time <A your -demise. -What you want can be done, BUT you lose one. big advantage s\ doing it. If you list yourself as custodian, you will certainly keep control —of-the stocks. But at the same time if you die, the custodial account reverts back to your estate — and you will have defeated your own purpose. If, however, you have named, say. your wife as custodian (or anyonp other than yourself), the stocks will be out of your estate and wind up in the minor's rotate without tax. A custodian account has some of thr benefits of a trust fund, though it is not as formal. You should never put money into a custodian account with the idea of getting it back if you need it. For all intents and purposes that monoy is given away, although the recipient has not yet received full control of it. •One further advantage to custodian accounts: you can put up to $3,000 a year into them for each child and escape paying a gift tax on the money. For a full understanding of how tho custodian account may [>• used in your estate and tax planning, discuss it with your attorney and accountant. Have you a question about your own or your club's investment program? Mr. O'Hara will bo glad to answer it. Write; to T. K.

F. Fisher's HiPoint fiarms of Brighton, Mich, failed to take part this year in the International Livestock Exposition, last week. It was explained that Mr. Fisher's health prevented him from attending the livestock exposition but that his flamous Herefords will be at the Western Livestock Show in Denver Jan. 14 to 22. The other big agricultural event here that drew many Livingston county youngsters was the forty-fourth National 4-H club congress. FISHER'S Hi-Point Farms, was one of the hosts at the recent organizational meeting of the American Junior 'Hereford Association held at the American Hereford Association headquarters in Kansas City. Hi-Faint Farms _ treated the group to an evening performance of the American Royal Horse Show. Some 60 juniors representing 31 states, and their advisors, attended the organizational meeting of the Junior Association which represents some 6,001 young Hereford breeders. Purpose of the newly formed group is to assist in the promotion and improvement of the Hereford breed. The 4H Congress theme was "Young America and World Affairs," announced Norman C. Mindrum, director of the National 4H Service Committee which arranged the annual event in cooperation with the Extension Service of the land* grant universities, and more than 55 business firms which support the 4-H program. The 1,500 delegates—all winners— represented 50 states, Puerto Rico, and for the first time an "official" delegation of 10 Canadian 4H members, one from each province. The 4-H'ers devoted the better part of two days to forums on world problems. Stockmen, dairymen, and farm boys and girls from 40 states and two provinces of Canada exhibited this year at the International Live Stock Exposition,. It marks the 66th anniversary of the exposition as the country's largest annual livestock show, which featured the exhibition of 37 breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs. E. F. W5HER, owner of Hl-PoJnt Farms, at the microphone, made the announcement of his plans to be a sponsor at the national organizational meeting during the Michigan Junior hovtod by ID-Point. On the left is Pete Dean, Hi-Point Farms manager, and in the center is Rich Byrum of Onondapa, president of the Michin^n Junior Hereford Association, and a Hereford Association Field Day, delegate to the national meeting. St. Patricks Church News Remember Dr. Tom Dooley, Ihe young doctor "who gave up a very promising medical career in the United States to treat the populace in the small country of Laos, where there wa$«nly one doctor in the land? You probably recall the books be wrote, "Deliver Us From Evil," "The Night They Burned the Mountain," etc., in which he told of his experiences in that far-ofi poverty-stricken, disease-ridden country. T h e profit he received from these books and from his lectures financed Ihe medical clinics he maintained in this far-off land. After his tragic early death two years ago his work came to a halt . . medical dlspen serifs closed, etc. Then his brother Malcolm Dooley established the Dr. Thomas A. Dooley Foundation to perpetuate tho idea of Americans helping Asians to help tJvemselves. It Aould be noted that he started the medical clinics and trained the people of that particular country in sanitary and medical procedures so that when he loft they might care for their own people; Americans, he felt, could best help others by showing them how to help themselves.

The woods were hushed in majestic stillness, and I tread softly. A jay screeched overhead, and bending trees shivered stealthily, with squeaking, icecoated branches. The falls at the curve of the creek stood immobilized with hoarfrost and icicles, but bending near I heard soft and surely the murmur of the moving creek beneath the icebound surface. It came to me, how like that creek, my faith has been. At times this faith has been covered by rimes of doubt and selfishness. Often it has been embittered by anguish and despair. But always under that glacial exterior there coursed a stream of consciousness that knew no turning from God—and the things I had been taught from childhood. How glad I am my parents took me to church and brought me up with such a sure knowledge of God's love that it sustained me even when I tried to turn from His ^ ' Copyright 1966 KeitUr Advertising Servic*.

Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There ;ire four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are; (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Sunday Genesis 3 I : 3 M 2 Monday !

Stohrberg CAMP RANGER, BEIN HOI, VIET NAM — Today is Thanksgiving here in Viet Nam. The weather is as hot as ever and we could use some time off. The latter is sure not to come, of course. Men are tired of fighting and wishing mostly that they could be home. Home that we wish we could see again. But most of us will never see again. Like the one guy from our unit that was seriously wounded, because of a man who got scared. I saw him before he passed away. All that he said was, "Why me, I had only 34 more days to go?" Why? That's a good question. They should not take the guys out that are short timers — like me. Today I have 69 days to go. I want to get home so bad that I could taste the good food and the rest we all need. For guys like me as short as we are, we don't get any R & R or passes for 3 days. So we could rest. The biggest share of the guys that are falling are drafted men. The short timer. I would like a rest, but here you cannot rest. Because you never know when they will hit, or where. Most of my time over here I have seen things that would turn a man's bead the other way. Then there are times when you get a good feeling, for the things and the way we are helping the South Viet Namese. I can remember some words I used to say in Fort Riley, "That someday the people of our country will look up at the man in uniform." Because at the time where you went in a uniform I always got tile feeling of people looking down their noses at me. This time if I do make it home I will wear my uniform and if someone or anyone looks at me that way, as if he has a bad taste in his mouth, I will be glad to make it a bad taste. I put my blood on this land and I haven't asked anything more than anyone else. I will,if I get out; hold the highest respect for the man and woman in uniform. If you don't write my letter in the paper it doesn't matter. But I have written what I think and believe in. So if you see a man in uniform in February or any time, walk up to him and shake his hand. Make him feel good. America we stand up for you, for our lovely states, our families, our loved ones. What we need is your personal help. Your Ranger Writer, James G.

Dick LaBell heard the fire cracking in his bedroom closet and got everyone up and out okay. The upstairs in the house was completely burned out. They lost everything; Including all their clothing. The only thing they wiU be able to salvage is the kitchen furniture. The LaBells said if it weren't for the Brighton Fire Dept. being so quick in getting there they would have lost the whole house. I've always said you couldn't ask for a better fire dept than Brighton's. The LafieUs are now living in the VanNess home on Kinyon while their home Is being repaired.

Our little 6 year old daughter, 'Judy who goes to Hawkins school, missed the school bus and got lost in Saxony sub. She was looking for my brother and stteter-in-law's home, but couldn't find the right street. Don't think I wasn't scared. By 4:45 I was really worried. All kinds of thoughts run through your mind when you can't find them. Finally, a woman called the State PoUce and said they had Judy at their home. I should really apologize to the women who had Judy, I was so upset at the time I don't even remember who she was. Anyway, I want to thank her. I think it would be a very good idea for every parent to teU their chUdren to wait ait the school or go into the office and call home if they ever miss their ride. It would sure save a lot of worry. WeU, I guess that is it for ttu> week. Be sure to caU me if yo* have any news.

Boy Scouts Help Fill Yule Baskets BRIGHTON — Boy Scouts throughout Livingston county will pick up bags Saturday containing food and other supplies for the needy that will be distributed by the Salvation Army. Scout Troop 150 of Brighton and Troop 62 of Howell left the empty bags at all homes in the county last Saturday, for donors to fill for the poor. When the food bags were distributed in Brighton, Howell, Hamburg, Hartland, Pinckney, Fowlerviile and Gregory, the residents were asked to donate non-perishable foods and warm clothing. The program of Cnristmas baskets has long been a tradition of the Salvation Army, but has for the last year been done in -this county with the Boy Scouts' a ^ K a r ^ e in collecting the foods. This has been a great help, acceding to Robert Watson, chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board Committee. Last year, when the Boy Scouts handed out the food bi-gs, everyone was most anxious to help. This year all are asked to try a little harder so that even more needy families will not go hungry this Christmas Day. The food bags need not be full. Anything you can give will help.

Saturday they started selling Christmas trees — trees especially selected and at prices that are lower than competing vendors. They appeal to all persons who want to help the firemen's fund to buy their trees at the fire hall. The firemen also have their hands full to keep another group from going hungry — the ducks on the Mill Pond that have made Brighton famous from coast to coast. The ducks stay here all winter because they are fed and most of them have lost their instinct to go south in winter. But to keep them fed is a financial problem. The few nickels that are fed into the corn boxes in winter are far inadequate to make up enough to sustain them. In fact last winter two ducks found dead were revealed to have died of malnutrition. So the firemen are asking for help from farmers and grain elevators to donate grain that otherwise might be unsalable nubbins of corn but would supply food for the ducks. Christmas comes on Saturday this year.

Kennedy Putnam Township Clerk Link Delinquency To Teen Marriage Although Livingston county holds the distinction of being relatively free of juvenile delinquency, teen agers are warned against early marriages. Even the divorce rate among young marrieds is low in this county and in great part tills is the cause for a low delinquency rate because national surveys show delinquent juveniles usually come from broken homes. Teen - agers are flocking to the altar by the hundreds of thousands throughout the nation. One out of two brides this year will be under 20. The same ratio wiH end up m. separation or divorce, according to a national survey on "What happens to teen-age marriages?" The chance of success for a teen-age marriage in the U.S. is about a third as good as for marriages of those in their twenties. The fact is that today more girls marry at age 18 than at any other age and this tendency to marry young is one that is peculiar to the United States. It's not just the women either; nearly half of all American young men are married by the time they are 25, compared with only ia quarter in most of Europe and as few as a tenth in Norway and Ireland.

The money would be spent to hire an assistant for assistant Supt Richard Blied, to explore the federal programs available to the school. 1%e Howefl Schools could receive in excess of $60,000 deigned for specific programs, and under federal control. The study would determine if the programs would offer enough benefit to the school system to compensate for the fed* eral controls. The board also voted to hire an administrative assistant for Superintendent Bath. The new assistant's roll will actually be that of a press agent Fish Shanties May Hold Death HOWELL —The county health department warns tee fishermen against tightly closed fiisfa shanties, and others who might be in practically air-tight quarters, to escape the cold, this winter, that a silenit killer may be in their midst.

Illegible Names Puzzle Postoffice BRIGHTON — One of the biggest problems postal employees face is illegible handwriting. At Christmastime, when mail vol. umes skyrocket, this can become a major problem, Postmaster Al Bosworth said. "The use of ZIP Codes by mailers does help speed up the process because often if the city and state are unreadable the ZIP Code will direct the mail to the destined post office. Clerks in that post office, being more familiar with local residents, may be able to figure out the person to whom the mail should be delivered. "Another significant problem is the number of parcels delayed or actually undelivered because of poor wrapping or packing." Postmaster Bosworth urged that special care be taken to see that each package is tightly stuffed 'and that nothing rattles around inside. Parcels arc generally shipped in bags and often heavier Hems rest on top of smaller, lighter packages. The postmaster encouraged mailers to be a bit cautious and insure all packages. All parcels should be addressed on only one side and should have the address written somewhere on the mside of the package in case the exterior wrapping should come off. It is a good idea to also enclose a Ust4 of the contents. Poor packaging and illegible or incorrecti addressing account for about half a million undelivered parcels each year. M<ail now, only two weeks left for dHivory of parcels and cards Livingston High In Heart Deaths Livingston County ranked above the state average by a little over 10 percent, of cardiovascular deaths in Michigan last year, with 65.9 percent—the statewide average was 55.2 percent— Dr. James B. Blodgett, president of the Michigan Heart Association, has announced. The lowest in the state was Macomb County's 49.4 percent. The figures are based on the 1964 statistics of the State Department of Health. While the percentage emphasized the iriigm'tude of the problem of cardiovascular fatalities in Michigan, analysis of the figures showed only that with some exceptions the highly industrialized southern counties with younger populations had lower percentages than the quiet, more aged populations. Of adjoining counties, Shiavvassee had 58.2 percent; Genesee, 53.5; Washtenaw, 54-3; and Inghem, 56.3. Wayne County had 53.7; and Oakland, 53.6. Kent County, whose seat fcs Grand Rapids, had 55.5 percent. The Upper Peninsula counties averaged 59.64 percent 3 Schools Now Are 'Unionized' BRIGHTON—With approval by the Brighton School Board of the Brighton Education Association (local unit of me ME A) as the sole bargaining agent for the Brighton teachers, three school systems in the county are now "unionized," the other two being Howell and Hartland, The Brighton school board agreed to the teachers' request after the board's attorney, William McCririe, told the board that practically all the teachers were members of the association. The superintendent, principals and assistant J principals are the only members of the staff not covered by the agreement. This may be providing the answer to the wave of teacher militancy and dissatisfaction that has been sweeping the naton for the past three years. Since the beginning of the curn-nt school year in September, a majority of the state's 543 high school districts have sought official recognition from meir local boards of education. In most cases, local units of the state's largest professional organization, the Michigan Education Association, represent public school teachers. As of Dec. 1, 1965 school districts had achieved official recognition between teacher groups and school boards, with ull but one school district selecting local units of the ME A.

I HIRED IT THROUGH THE WANT ADS Sod Farming A Pro's Business BRIGHTON — The building Ixxjm in the eastern part of Livingston, county that has created a tfig and profitable market for sod, has lured many a small farmer in- this area into difficulty. The sod business has become a highly specialized and sophisticated enterprise. Plots of high-quality nursery turf bvur little resemblance to the old piece of pasture that was formerly cut and sold for sod. Today, a field of hi^h-qualily, cultivated sod is :\ pampered parcel, a plot on which the grower has expended many times the increments of capif.il and the hours of la)x>r thtt would have been necessary to produce a field crop like corn The neatly mowed grass, wi;h the distinctive dark-.^re-n hue of the carefully fed plant, h i s been sown with precision, irrigated whenever thirsty, fertilized without stint and groomed with (he utmost care by men who are exports. The commercial sod grower can depend upon a croo from the same piece of ground about every two years. Large amounts cf fertilizer are used. This, together with the mass ui roots and rhizomes which are left in the stripped plot, helps to maintain the condition of the soil. So with proper management, crop after crop of sod can be cut from the same field indefinitely Marketing the crop is the hurdle that has toppled many a tyro in the sod business. The bulk and weight of the crop makes it cor'ly to move very far and limits the marketing radius of the producing farm There are no formal marketing channels |or sod as in livestock, grains oV truck crops, so marketing becomes the big challenge. Potential growers are cautioned to have their eyes wide open when moving into the business.

IGHTON SCHOOL NEWS Terror of War By ALICE WHITE As I read through "The Future for Democracy" I thought of World Ware I and II, and of how they used that terrible gas. Gas killed thousands of men on the battle fronts, and the men who used it often led women and children to believe they were going to take a shower. After they got in the shower rooms they locked the doors and turned on the gas! T h i s wasn't bad enough, though, the graves of these people was a great big hole dug by them before they died They put a layer of bodies in and a layer of paper and sometimes they put ;n another layer of bodies! In World War II they had the atom bomb. Boy, this was really the best weapon around. It could kill more people with one bomb than anything in the world. And after it had gone off, it kept on killing like a disease that's incurable. It was all over in the air, and you couldn't get away from it. Oh, this was the best thing, the United States had ckre It'll be better when hundreds of thousands of people start moaning from pain and agony.

Shouldor punching is the modern way to say "Hello" with the teens today. It has replaced the hand shake and regular talk. When a friend approaches, the teenager says, "Howya doin1?" and then punches him in the shoulder. Some guys have used this method as a way of saying goodnight to an ugly blind date Instead of kissing her he punches her on the shoulder. Good for plenty of bughs. Another sport is straw wrapper blowing, This activity has steadily increased through the years until now it is considered the "thing to do" when in restaurants. Participation in this in the school lunchrooms is great. It involves tearing off end of straw wrapper, then blowing it in someone's face— a nearby girl, a waitress, or a stranger at the next table. It usually results in hysterical laughter, and sometimes a punch in the mouth. NOMCE At their regular meeting of Dec. 2, 1965, the Brighton City Council approved the following Ordinance Code Amendment: An Ordinance to amend the code of the City of Brighton by amending Chapter 30 of Title V thereof. This proposed amendment amends the Zoning Ordinance by rezoning t h e following described land from R-l to R-3 (single family to multiple family dwellings): Beg. at a p t 198 ft. along the W. line of lot 72 extended, Nobles Plat No. 3, from the N.W. Comer of lot 72, Noble Plat No. 3. to a pt. 342 ft. along the extended W. line of said lot 72, thence N.E. 70° to Ore Creek, thence S'Ely along the Bank of Ore Creek 270 ft., thence due South to Flint Road, thence S'Wly on Flint Road to a pt. 90 ft. N'Ely from the N.W. corner of the intersection of Liberty and Flint Road, thence W'ly to the pt. of Beg. This ordinance to be effective Dec. 17, 1965. J. E. Siford City Clerk Bq G. M. II an interview with Mr. DeMar proves to be quite a feat! You have to fight through a crowd of girls who, for some unknown (?) reason are seeking personal help with their studies. The only real chance he has to be alone is during lunch. Humor has it that he hides in the Snake Pit . . . oops . . . I've said too much already. Mr. Steve W. DeMar came to B.H.S. in September of 1965. He teaches World History, Geogrophy, and coaches the J.V. Basketball Team. When asked where he was born, went to school and now lives, he replied "Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor." Hur now teacher attended Eastern Michigan University and Michigan State where he majored in history and physical i»d. He has a B.S. degree. Mr. DeMar's interests all centi- r around sports. He enjoys basketball, baseball, football, swimming, track and tennis. He likes working with the s'udont body and they enjoy working with him. As one of his students said, "It's not so long that he's been out of school himself, so he understands all the current problems of the students." Also it's been commented this his classes are interesting and his lectures amusing. Mr. DeMar feels our big problem at B.H.S. is that not enough students turn out for sports events. I*, seems impossible that a person cannot have a favorite cartoon character, but Mr. De- Mar has no favorite. He must be older than we thought.

It was said that the frats are no more fast than the guy who wears Hue suede shoe*, pointed with a combination of leotard pants, so tight thai one could count the hairs on another's legs. They are worn up to six inches from the shoes or rather boots. This thought of brotherhood is true, however, frat, which originated in college alumni also meant persons representative to that alumni. They dressed neatly and followed good standard morals. The high school take off is certainly a long way from this and yet it is a far step from the grease. Continental in tradition would be just as much accepted at B H.S., as the boy who wears white levfcs and the madras shirts. If these boys (grease considered here) would wear some clothes which looked like they'would fit them and not their 12 year old brother, they would look' much better. In general, let us anftder this grease group. Frasts were asked to mingle with the guys and girls who stand on the street corners smoking cigarettes, in their high heels, and pegged pants and cuss and swear. This is not for me nor for the frats. The general feeling among the frats Is that of neatness. The dress code at B.H.S. was derived at by the Student Council. Very few frats or continentals violate these laws as a general rule. The grease rebel against this and tend to decrease the ooks of our student body. The noon drag strip up Brighton's Hill is generaly led by these so called grease. I am not excluding the frats entirely. Because they aid to, but it just goes to show what these grease do for a pass time, as well as break pop bottles in the A & P parking lot. Now can you say to me truly that a class of neatly dressed and generally speaking good students are to mingle with this grease crowd then I question your views on the thoughts of our forefather who separated according to ideals. The separation is the only way that eventually these way-outs will see how they stand. I can assure you that you will s e e very few if any of these grease on A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

A supervisor within the Michigan Department of Agriculture has been selected and a regulation drawn up to implement the state meat inspection law. Under the act all Michigan meat intended for sale that is not federaly inspected must have inspection under the state agriculture department. There are 328 known slaughter plants in the state that supply about 40 per cent of Michigan's meat needs. Meat from other states crosses state lines and must have federal inspection under US. Law. In the past no stale law required ante-mcrtem and postmortem inspection ol animals slaughtered in Michigan. Sever. al municipalities had inspection by local health units. Plans call for continuation of such programs, if approved, under department supervision. Heading the meat inspection section of the department's Livestock Disease Control Division will be Dr. Ralph E. Beebe. He joined the department in 1955 after having been a private veterinary practitioner in tfie Traverse City area for 16 years.

RETTINGER IGNORES HIGH COURT'S RULING , I Dickie, Caren and Cindy Williams of Brighton were some of the first children in line Saturday afternoon when Santa came into town riding on a fire truck. Caren and Cindy fully appreciated little brother was a little awed when he met the jolly gentleman in person. Children Crowd To Greet Santa BRIGHTON — The rains fell the siren of a fire truck sounded in the distance and soon Santa Claus atop the fire truck hove into town. The cheers from half a thousand children rang out last Saturday when the patron saint of all youngsters brought gifts for every one who came to the Brighton fire hall to sit on his lap, confide the secrets of desires and return to mama a happy child. The greatest crowd of children ever to greet Santa were in Brighton last week end al< though the weather was atrocious, the lights and decorations despite the dripping draperies, brought the Christmas spirit to the hundreds who poured into the city. Although the greatest inflow and flow of mail in the history of Brighton is reported by jtbe postmaster, Al Boswortti, the cooperation of those &»Kling out mail from the city has speeded up deliveries. "I want to thank every person who uses this postoffice," said "Mr; Bosworth.

Just before the joys of the holiday brought cheers for Santa from the young fry, seven Livingston county boys took a bus for the camp that means in all probability a stepping stone to the battle front in Viet Nam. Monday night the stark realities of that war were brought into sharp focus to seven Livingston county families. These people reenacted an age old scene as tearful sweethearts, and mothers, and stoic fathers, waited out the Lst agonizing minutes of gocibyc, before sending their sons off to war. They were young, and as brave in those moments of de* parturc as they will surely be in battle, and it seemed only fitting that there should bo some ceremony U> mark their leaving. There was none, only the .small knot of family and friends that stood wuving until thr bus was out of sight. There will be seventeen of Nivinjj.slon county's young men leaving for the service next month. Fails to Tell Delegates of Meeting Day The hassle between the two factions of the Democratic Party in Livingston county reached a new high when it was revealed this week that Edward Rettinger, hold-over chairman of the county Democratic Committee, had ignored the Court of Appeals order of Dec. 6. Thia could lay Rettinger open to contempt of court proceedings, according to Martin Lavon, leader of the anti-Rettinger forces. The high court's order specifically specified that Rettinger must give notice, on or before Dec. 14, by first class mail and also by newspaper publication to all the delegates and dele* gates-at-iarge who were officially certified by the Livingston County Clerk on Sept. 4, 1964. This notice should have stated that a convention of delegates would be held at 8 p.m. on Jan. 5, 1966, in the courthouse at Howell. No official notice has been published in the newspaper nor have any of the delegates received their notices, as yet, by mail. However, in last week's edition of the local newspaper at Howell an advertisement AiuTied the notice that the ^Dwaocratic CO2£M1TTEE of tiie county would meet in Howell at 8 a.m., Jan. 5, 1966. The court did not order a convention of the Committee nor did it set the time at 8 o'clock in the morning, but stated the convention of delegates should meet at 8 o'clock in the evening of Jan. 5, 1966. Mr. Rettinger, in a recent interview, said he was inviting •members of the hierarchy of the state Democratic party, to which Mr. Lavan, who was the Democratic nominee for the office of county prosecutor, replied that he would be delighted to have them at the convention of delegates. It is recalled that when the 1964 convention of delegates met, Mr. Rettinger appointed a credentials committee which disenfranchised more than 80 of the 110 delegates and delegates- {ConUwied oa page 11) The Brighton Jaycettes are just one of the many organizations throughout the county that have adopted the mentally retarded children at the Howell State Hospital as a Christmas project.

The gifts represent the proceeds of a toy party given by the Jaycettes. Committee Named For Head Start HOWELL — Anticipating Federal money to help inaugurate a "head start" in the county's educational program the Livington County Intermediate School district has helped in the organization of a special action committee. The government specifies that such a committee be formed before taking a hand in the program. The committee headed by Dr. Fred Hauer of Fowlerville is composed of 26 members. This week Gil Dunn from the Pinckney Community Schools and Ernestine Carlson from the Ltvingfcton Intermediate School District are attending a Head Start Workshop at Michigan State University, where clinics are being conducted for all aspects of the program development. This information will be used by the members of the Social Action Committee at their next meeting on December 20, at the Howell Recreation Center. The purpose of the program is to give underprivileged children pre-school instruction in preparation for their future education which many of their parents now lack, in order that they may become educated and useful "grown-ups", learned in skills or professions that will make them self supporting. The children are mostly from families now on welfare because of parental inability to earn a living. Besides Dr. Hauer, the other members of the committee are; Representing t h e Welfare Board is Cecil Bohm of Fowlerville; Jr. Chamber Commerce, Robert C. MacBride of Hart- Land; Business, Miller Beurmann of Howell; Hospital Administration, James Sullivan of Howell; Cities, Cliff Heller of Howell; Education, Pat Murphy of Howell; Hope Industries, Edgar Glynn of Howell; Medical, Dorothy Dinkel of Pinckney, Church, the Rev.

Margaret and Oscar Muller are working hard to get their restaurant in shape for their grand opening around January 10th. They, of course, are in business now, and everything is going along splendidly. Margaret was telling me there are three generations of restaurant people m her family. They ran a hotel here from 1918 to 1922, her grandmother had a restaurant in the Squire Building, also, where Dr. Sheng has his office, so restaurants are nothing new to them. They are open for business, can serve you anything from a snack to a full dinner, or just coffee and you always get a cherry greeting when you go in or leave. They give you a sincere welcome and good food. Tuesday night the American Legion Auxiliary had their Christmas party at the Legion Hall. Pot Luck, it looked like a banquet, such food and such fun as everyone had. There were about 18 present. The Brighton Business & Professional Group use a prayer I 'would like to share with all, "Keep us, Oh, God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought in word, in deed. Let us be done with faultfinding end leave off self-seeking May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgement and always generous. Let us take time for sdl things, make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight-forward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize it to the little things that create differences, that in the things of life we are as one- "And may we strive to touch and to knew the great, common human heart of us all, and Oh, Lord God, let us not forget to be kind." How wonderful for us all if we lived by that prayer. Let's try.

HACKNEY'S MACHINE SHOP P.O. Box 567 10 Old Turnpike Pleasantville, N. J. 400 Children Greet Santa PINCKNEY—Santa Claus was ho-ho hoarse Saturday after chatting with Pinckney boys and girls from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the high school. Without Rudolph to lead the way on the spring-like misty, foggy day, Santa's flight was thwarted, and he was forced to arrive by one-horse open sleigh. Plans had been made for him to be piloted to the elementary school ground. The kids took this in stride, though, and 400 of them stood in line (as well as 150 or more of their mothers) to tell Santa to bring a b-b-gun or a doll with clotnes. Jaycees who arranged the event were prepared for 300 more youngsters, so that many boxes of candy will be handed out by the same jolly Santa (alias Jack Quigley) to children in the wards at University Hospital in 'Ann Arbor. Part of the Jaycee plan was to give the surplus to children in an insitution, so they stocked plenty of goodies. Jaycettes were responsible for the life-giving coffee passed out to harassed mothers. Ken Charboneau and his young brother took a lot of pictures of Saturday's affair, and he will put them on display downtown for parents to see.

BY TOM KIZER This column will uppear, for the first time, in both the LIVINGSTON COUNTY ARGUS DISPATCH and THE LIVINGSTON COUNTY PRESS. I like this because while the county is my "Church," Howell is my "Pew." Both of these weeklys do a tremendous job of serving, first, their respective village communities and, second, the county of Livingston. The fact that they are competition to each other is the finest thing that could happen to each of them and to our community. The worst thing that could happen to you and me, as Livingston Countyites would be for either of them to go under. As long as we have both of them vigorous and prosperous we hove, as a famous cigarette ad says " a good thing going." Now with those well chosen words to you fellow citizens of the county, this may be the last column you'll see of mine in either paper. But in all sincerity^ let me make a plug for both, we need 'em, lets support them. A good many years ago, before he was Mayor, I remember talking one day to the now Mayor Heller of Howell. This was at a time when Howell was faced with too, too much conservatism (now it's just too much) and there were some people in the community who felt it ought to expand and go forward, not be just the pleasant town " that time forgot." Cliff Heller was one that believed in the "forward movement" He was taken to task for his views by some of the towns elders and it was pointed out to him that if the town grew, there would surely be another florist move in. Unruffled, Cliff responded in what I thought was staunch logic. He said, "that won't worry me a bit, in fact I'll welcome it, because the new competitor will be advertising and promoting flowers and if I do my job right, some of their effort is going to slop over on me." I feel the same way about the "Argus" and the "Press." Their individual contributions to both advertising and news column is going to be better because they are in competition. Speaking further of our "county community" there is a little story that goes along with the idea of patronizing our local merchants. It goes like this. A local citizen came into one of the local hardware stores to buy a saw. He selected the one he preferred from the merchant's display and asked the price. The merchant quoted it and the customer .said, "t can buy that same saw fur $1.25 less from the mail order catalog." The merchant thought a moment and responded, "Okay, Jim,I'll let you have this one at the same price." "Fine," said the customer, "I'll take it." The merchant took his money and proceeded to put the saw back in its rack. "Well, give me the saw," said the customer. "Oh, not now," replied the merdw*. 'You* have to « M back in three days, that's about the time it would take for the mail order house to fill your order." Since he needed the saw that day, what do you think happened? Yep! You could improvise on that story, Mr. Howell and Brighton merchant and apply the same logic to those of us who sashay the fifty miles into Detroit at a cost of 8c a mile to buy from some of the cut rate houses hawking their wares. Just advertise is all in your local county papers. The other day General Hershey (I think it is "General," he's been on the Job long enough) speaking of the young men who have exhibited disagreement with being drafted for the Vietnam war, made the statement that opposition to conscription would be SUICIDE for the draft, — speaking for myself, I can't think of a finer way for it to "go." " • Last week my wife and I were listening to Huntley-Brinkley. They reported that President Johnson had authorized 50 million dollars to build a fertilizer plant in India for starving Indians. My lovely help mate turned to me and said, "wouldn't you think they would like food a lot better than fertilizer?" Just the other day Defense Secretary McNamara said, "We are not now losing the war in Vietnam — this is the same war he said a year ago we were winning in 1965 and it is the same war he and the administration said "we weren't fighting" a y(ear before that! (Editors Note: We regret losing Mr. Kizer's exclusive services but we know readers of the local Howell paper will enjoy his columns as much as our readers have.) Jaycee s Dance PINCKNEY - Pinckney end Howell Jaycees will sponsor a dance at the Anchor Inn at Portage Lake on New Year's Eve. Profits from the affair which is open to the public are to be divided between the two groups for their civic activities designed to better their communities. There will be a four-piece band, a buffet lunch and dancing from 10 p.m. at a cost of $6 per couple. Pat Reynolds admits she was wrong! (She was sure electric dryers were more expensive. Then we showed her these money-saving facts.) Gas dryers cost a couple of pennies less per load to operate: we'd be the first to admit it. But with electric dryers you still come out ahead. Read on. Electric dryers cost less to buy. Model for model, prices run about $20 to $40 lower ihan gas dryers. And now, for a limited time, this lower price includes installation and wiring, if needed, when you ouy from one of the many dealers participating in this special sales event. Electric dryers cost nothing for electrical repairs or labor. Gas dryers* Well, you can get a manufacturer's repair service policy—but it will cost you up to $120 over the first five years of operation alone. Of course, if your dryer is electric, Ediaon comes out, repairs electric operating parts, and leaves without leaving you a bill! [It's the only no-charge dryer repair service offered by a utility company in this area.) Add up ALL the costs and you'll see what Pat Reynolds saw —electric drvers actually cost less to own. 23 4 WEDNESDAY, DEORMREfc 15, 1965 THE LIVINGSTON COUNTY ARGUS - DISPATCH PAGE T H R E E »; * Jo Ann Morris and Brltn Walter Kimberlf exchanged wedding vows before the Rev.

Girls are required to wear skirts that come to the middle of the knee. Boys are to have their shirts tucked in and look like gentlemen, not like slobs.!!!!! When you attend a school dance you must have a pass for everyone you bring. If you only have your date with you, no pass is required. You can get passes from Student Council. The above article was written by a Brighton high school student designating the attire that should be worn. The cycle of 20 years has elapsed and as they say in the fashion world, styles return in kind every 20 years.- Especially the length of skirts. In the World War I era skirts crept up to the knees then came down and began again to climb during the World War II era. The following "Letter to the Editor" was found in a 1945 edition of a St. Louis newspaper: Indecency In Dress To the Editor: "Old-Fashioned Mother" implied the disgust and contempt of all decent people for the dis graceful attire of women and girls in the ciity and county— abhoxreftt also to men, A widower for 10 years, I am comforted as I walk the streets, that I used to with my pure and properly-dressed wife, to know that this most godly woman is spared from witnessing the suggestive attire and partial nudity of girls and women "who, being past feeling, have given themselves over unto lisciviousness, to mark all urr cleanliness w i t h greediness."

Grand River Ph. 546-4240 Distinguished Scholar Had Doubts About Famous Christmas Poem •' Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." With these lines begins the familiar poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Today, this poem is a treasured part of the lore of Christmas, often quoted and published at the Yuletide season. Surprisingly, the poet who created it was far from proud of his work. A distinguished Biblical scholar and professor of divinity, Dr. Clement Clark Moore wrote-the poem for the amusement of his children at Christmas in 1822. A visitor in the home at the time copied it and had it published a year later in the Troy, N.Y., Sentinel. The poem appeared anonymously, because pr. Moore felt that he, as a professor of divinity, should not be associated with such "undignified" work. For more than 20 years, he refused to take credit for the poem. In 1844 the poem was published and for the first time credited to its creator, Clement Clark Moore. Unique Holiday Message Begins Greeting Cards It was the "Golden Age of Christmas." The personal exchange of good wishes, visiting homes to toast a friend's good health, carol-singing, bringing in the Yule log and great family dinners were all in vogue. A new book was published that year. It told of Christmas goose and plum pudding, of happy family parties. It presented, and made immortal, Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim. The book was Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," and the year was 1843. Appropriately, during this "Golden Age of Christmas," the now universally-popular custom of sending Christmas greeting cards began. The very first card, authorities now agree, is the celebrated Cole-Horsley, designed and printed in London in 1843. Only a dozen of the original 1,000 copies are known to exist, and two of these, including the only unsigned and unposted specimen, are part of the Hallmark Historical Collection. When not on display in museums and similar institutions, the collection is filed in a specially constructed vault at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, Mo. Sir Henry Cole, a wealthy London g e n t l e m a n , and founder of the Victoria and Albert Museum, asked his friend, John C. Horsley, noted artist and member of the Royal Academy, to design the now-famous card as an un- First Time Anywhere See the NfW 1966 VAGABOND DIPLOMAT, with vestibule entry. Never before on display.

Cards Tell Of Changes The tradition of exchanging Christmas cards is a charming part of the joyous holiday, and it has a history of its own. One of the most interesting parts of that history Is the way that greeting cards serve to record changing sociai custopis, manners and fashions through the years, points out Miss Esther Mooney, curator of the Norcross, Inc., greeting card collection. For instance, an English card of 1892 shows the formality existing between parents and children during the Victorian era, Here, a little girl kneels solemnly at her mother's knee, sedately offering her a Christmas bouquet, with the wish, "May your life be a Merry Christmas." Modern cards take a livelier,, more light-hearted approach. Players' 'Santa Delights Tots By Dorcas Ever since the Livingston Players started staging their plays they have wanted to present a children's play and now they have succeeded. "The Mouse Who Didn't Believe in Santa" was given ait Hawkins School Dec. 10 and 11. The direction was admirably done by Betty Golden and the cast — oach one ployed Ms or her part well. Jan Gail was the star and gave a very clever interpretation, and all the others did beautifully with their parts. Bill Gail took care of the music. Why didn't you let us know you played so nicely when you were here, Bill? The children thoroughly enjoyed the performances and wanted to know when tire Players would give another — and that, I think, is praise worth working for.

The first pound of steel prod u c e d commercially in the United States, according to the brochure, was made in the old Eureka Iron Works at Wyandotte in 1864. Mrtaicraf ting i n Michigan dates back to 1800 BC. Prehistoric Indians sought copper which occurred in nuggets along the shores and in bedrock of the Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale. Their method of mining is revealed in the great number of oval hammer stones and pieces of partially burntxl wood found in pits scattered about this area. Fire may have been used to heat the copper bearing rock which was then cracked by dashing cold water upon it; finally, harnimpr stones wore used to separate, the copper from the Iragmeuieu rock. From the copper they fashioned arrowheads, knives and pottery. Artifacts made from Michigan copper have been found in widely scattered paints throughout the country, indicating that these miners conducted a thriving trade. Radio-carbon age tests by archeologists show that the mining pits date back 3,800 years or more. No one has been able to establish a link between the pits and the miners who made them.

Ruth Ilene, 6 Stormy Yvonne, 4 Donald C , 3 Lorraine Sue, 2 and Mr. and Mrs. Herman W. Runkis Let Ham Sparkle for Christmas! Whole baked ham for that big holiday dinner shines with a glaze of apple jelly and ginger. Fasten flowers with cloves. Christmas would not be the same if a ham were, missing from the table in many homes. It's a part of the season. There's a great deal of good eating, easy slicing and handsome good looks in a whole ham. Whole hams are available says Reba Staggs, meat authority, as "fully-cooked" which need only heating through and "cook-before- eating." Baked Whole Ham Place ham, fat side up, on rack in an open roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so the bulb reaches the center of the thickest part, making certain the bulb does not rest in fat or on bone. Do not arid water. Do not cover. Roast in a slow oven <300°F. to 325°F.). For "conkbefore- eating" hams allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound for roast- Spices for Pot-Roast Families who l i k e a light spicy taste in their foods will enjoy spiced pot-roast. Simple to use is th« combination of two bay leaves and 5 whole cloves. A small amount of vinegar (1 to 2 tablespoons) may bo added with hot water ('+ to Vi cup) as the braising liquid. Sliced onions also contribute a harmonious flavor companion. DO'H ami Don't* What's the proper w a y to rciftst ment?

Orange Petal Glaze Melt 4 cup apple jelly slowly. Stir in Ji t e a s p o o n ginger. Spread over baked ham. Decorate by arranging c a n d i e d orange petals around halves of candied cherries to form flowers. Fasten petals with whole cloves. Return ham to oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until glaze is set. To make candied orange rind petals, peel a large orange. Simmer rind 10 minutes. D r a i n . Cover with hot water. Cook until tender. Drain again.

The snowy white cloth, set with fine china, sparkling stemware and spotless silver will have a focal point of interest-and conversat i o n i f an arresting display of orchids is used as a centerpiece. Centerpieces are simple to make-just use your imagination. Set three dripless taper candles in a bed of Cattleya orchids and greens and you have a beautiful display. Or take a large brandy snifter and place some dainty china or ceramic figurines in it; then artistically arrange several orst approaching and with it the for those who seem to chids inside and on the rim of the glass. Orchids give your table an (.'xotic air. They're durable and will last through the entire holiday season if stored at night in a cool place, 'nut not the refrigerator, And, contrary to popular notion, Cattleya orchids are reasonable in price and readily available from local florists the year round.

However another story, a warm story of human kindness has never been told, and seems particularly appropriate at Christmas tune. The story began at about the same time me first troubled delinquents were brought to the school. While many neighbors trembled with apprehenson, complained, <and watched with pessimistic gloom ae the school progressed, others rolled up their sleeves opened their hearts, and began a person to person experiment with the youngsters. Many area people with spec* ial talents began to donate their time to teach special classes at the school. Boys, who had never seen a truly lovely painting were able to attend an art class, taught by a volunteer. A lovely lady shared her interest in ceramics with the boys, and for the first time some of the youngsters began to realize that they could actually create something beautiful with their own hands. Boys who had never known a father, had never been on a fishing trip, and were unable even to imagine or appreciate a true father-son relationship, were sharing time each week with a dedicated man who cane all the way from Detroit in order to teach the boys fish-fly tying. A busy doctor donated his time to a sea-scout troop, and two Ann Arbor men began weekly visits and introduced the boys to the thrilling hobby of model trains. Another young man, a musician from Ann Arbor, began to share his musical talent with the culturally deprived youngsters. The school is grateful for these selfless people, but the appreciation of the youngsters is the only reward needed by the volunteers, and they are richly repaid. The present vol. unteers do a remarkable job, but there ore not enough volunteers to go around and a tremendous amount of volunteer help is still needed. The youngsters at the school have CHRISTMAS DIAMONDS Cooper's Jewelry 105 W. MAIN BRIGHTON the same needs and sometime a greater need for cultural improvement that any other child does. The boys at the school would receive tremendous benefit from the self discipline of a 4-H Club, and from the pride of achievement in completing a project. They could gain self respect, and the knowledge they need to succeed that every youngster gets from a Junior Achievement Project. Nothing lifts the spirit quite like music, and those with talent and patience would find their volunteer work with the youngsters a very rewarding experience. There are many area people with interesting hobbies or unusual talents, and each one would bring a new experience to the youngsters at the school, a practical experience of learning, but more then that, these youngsters who in the most part have grown up in neglect, will begin to realize that there is a place in their world for understanding, kindness, and respectability. It is a pity too, that so often these human values can only be learned when the youngster is shown an example, and there just aren't enough examples. The recent investigation of conditions at the Boy's Training School by the Department of Social Services, was undertaken upon the urging of State Rep. Thomas G. Sharpe. Rep. Sharpe, learned that the number of walkaways in October was considerably less than that of September. "The reports we have received to date," commented Sharpe, "have revealed several factors contributing to the problem, including: "Lack of adequate communication between the administration and staff to establish disciplinary procedures. "Problem of food preparation and transportation (meals are prepared in one location and then transported, over rough roads, to the dining area — a procedure often resulting in meals which appeal anything but appetizing.) "Inadequate recreation facilities. "Inadequate textbooks and library facilities. "Lack of adequate window reinforcement to prevent escape. Sharpe stated that Social Service Department officials arc continuing to review reports and compile information which will ultimately lead to taking the proper corrective measures and the work of those volunteers is making the job of rohabihUition much easier.

Recreation Director, Jim Sherwood, reports that the other programs at the school include boxing, handball, bowling, baseball, wrestling, volleyball, handicrafts, cards, copper work, model cars, swimming and ping-pong. volunteers from the club, Doug Fleshman (left), a foreign car specialist from Ann Arbor, and Jim Williams (right), an insurance salesman from Ypsilanti, are shown here with the boys. of fish fly-making to the boys. Rea, who now exhibits his skill professionally at sport shows, is one of the most dedicated volunteers. Much of the material she uses has been donated, but she provides the human touch, the understanding and the needed guidance. when they have left the school to participate in parades, and sea scout projects. Dr. Smith demonstrates some knot tying to some of the boys in this picture. HERE IS THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR Golfers A Christmas Gift long to be remembered.

Lake Speed Boat Curbs Adopted PINCKNEY - Although the Putnam Township Board recently took action to curb speed • boats and water skiing on Big Silver Lake at the suggestion of the Michigan Boating Control Commission, the board in its re-, gular session toned down the* original proposition to prohibit the two water sports. Instead 'he board adopted a resolution limiting speed boats and water skiing to the hours from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. As finally adopted other restrictions on water craft to safe guard fishermen and swimmers follow: "On the waters of Big Silver Lake, persons operating vessels shall maintain a distance of 200 feet from the shoreline and a distance of 100 feet from any raft, buoyed or,occupied b^'hing area, or vessel motored or at anchor, except when proceeding at a 'slow—no wake' speed and except when engaged in picking up or dropping off water skiers, so long as such operation is otherwise conducted with due regard to the safety of persons and property and in a line perpendicular to the shoreline and in accordance with the laws of this State. "Violations of the provisions of this ordinance shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $100.00 for such offense or imprisonment in the County jail for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, or both said fine and imprisonment."

FBI Warns Shops Of Shoplifters Because of the millions of dollars lost by merchants due to shoplifters, .1. Edgar Hoover 1ms scn4 to Livingston county l.iw onfotvommit officers a warning tiiat Uic slvpplifler is rvorywhere during the Christmas buying rush. Tho shoplifter docs not overlook the smaller tow?is, because lie finds (he smaller communities easier prey. Hoover's warning follows m part; "The Christmas Season, with its religious significance and vspiritual uplift, is often marred by human greed and weakness. One of the more serious problems is caused by the despicable sneak thief — the shoplifter "Each y»>ar during the holidays, the heisters und boosters step up ihcir forays of theft and pilferage which result in tremendous losses to the public. Their methods are as old as the profession itself. They operate with fake boxes and packages, loose coals and oversize clothing, shopping bags, large purses, awl numerous other devices to cover their activities. "No merchant, from the corner grocer to the exclusive furrier, is exempt from Lhc shoplifter. This tfiicf comes from any station In tlfc. Me may be rich or poor, male or female, young or old, and an amateur or professional. Encouraged and unwittingly abetted by bustling crowds ami jammed stores, the shoplifter and two of his lawless allies, the purse snatchcr and pickpocket, are bold and ay gressive. From 1959 through 1964, shoplilting increased 93 i>ercent, and it is the fastest growing larceny violation. "Record-breaking retail salr.s are predicted for the pre-Christmas shopping days. Law enforcement agencies will be overtaxed and enforcement ranks will be thinly spread. The thieves and thugs' can be expected to take full advantage of these favorable conditions. "Let us confront the shoplifter with good security and detection measures, quick arrest, and prompt and forceful prosecution. To do less is to condone him." U.S. TO CHECK FARM HIRING The Census Bureau's annual survey of hired farm work and the first phase of a survey on hunting and fishing will be taken during December in Livingston County as part of the bureau's monthly current population survey,. The farm work survey, to determine the number of persons in the nation domg full and parttime farm work for hire, is being done for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The hunting and fishing survey, to get national statistics on each activity, is for the U.S. Department of the Interior. Both surveys will supplement regular monthly inquiries on employment asked by the Bureau to furnish information for the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Latwr Statistics. Questions on hunting and fishing will be asked about all survey family tneml>er.s in the area who are 9 years of a^c ai»d over.

Youth For Unity The Junior Class meeting a couple of weeks back gave proof to the rumors that the class was splitting in half. The grease and the frats. To me, there are no such things as the grease and frats. If a person wants to wear certain clothes, that is his business. It all began when a certain person, to be more specific, a certain girl, stood up and said the frats think they can run everything. After that was said, the meeting was like a war with no actual fighting, although it came to be just that. Some people think that if a person wears certain clothes, it affects his mind, and it does, to a point. But if a person wears white levis and black socks, it is the same as black slacks and white socks. If anybody had not said anything about this, this year, and if we would have waited until next year, there is no telling what would have happened. Really, clothes don't make any difference. We were in that meeting to improve our class and anyone wanting to help in the work will work, no matter what he is, or the type of clothes he wears.

By the way your article was worded, I assume that you are a "Frat." Is this Fraternity, though, when you degrade a person by mentioning his moral standards? Moral standards have nothing to do with "Grease-Frat" classification. I have yet to see a "Grease" standing in front of someone else's locker making out. What moral standard is this? You mentioned a person's way of dressing as a characteristic of which group this person belongs to. This are two: different and nearness. If "Grease" girls came to school wearing their fathers' old white shirts hanging down to their knees, or if "Grease" boys wore ragged old sweatshirts and sneakers full of holes, you might have a legitimate gripe. They don't, so why must you continue to degrade someone because he is not like you, "Frat?" Maybe someone has different ideas about what they are going to do with their lives. There are majiy other rewarding careers in this school that you don't have to go to college to learn. So why must you degrade him for wanting to make something out of his life, a life he will enjoy because that's the way he wants it to be? The juniors recently had a discussion about this problem within their class, but must the whole school knock them for it? This problem has developed into a school-wide, all-out fight. Why? Because some people have nothing better to do than to find something to fight about. The students of this school have a logical right to choose their own friends. These friends stick together, become interested in different things and do different things than some other groups might be doing. This is why some one is classified because they do not conform to one group or the other. Whyshould this be a subject to dispute? This group that a person belongs to in school does not necessarily mold his entire life. A "Grease" is just as much adjusted to face life after graduation as a "Frat" is. A person adjusts by being able to get along with all types of people. A "Grease" or a "Frat" is perfectly capable of getting along witih anyone not of their group without changing the group he hangs around with. Most of the students do get along with everyone, but they still go around with the same crowd they always have, and this doesn't hurt them a bit. So why can't A 'Frat" be on sociable terms with a "grease," Frat? Just once, why don't you speak to a "Grease." Say "HI" sometimes. You'll be surprised when they say "HI" to you, too. But why? He's human, too, You might find he's not as bad as you thought he was. You mentioned moral standards as a way of classifying a person. I have just one thought to add to that. A "Grease" can just as easily become a Senator as a "Frat" could become a "Jail-bird." These school groups have no influence on a person after high school if he is welladjusted. BY STEVE FLOWERS and JOSE SOLER I would like to add a few very important facts that were left out of the article in the December 8th issue called "Grease or Frat Rebuttal." The writer was obviously for the people who call themselves frats or continentals. He proved this by cutting down tile group considered as grease, and telling only a one sided story against them. I would like to start off by saying that the word "frat" came from the word fraitern. A fraternity is a group that people belonging to, so no one person can be a frat (or fraternity). Second, I would like to clear up the definition of continental. Webster defines continental as, " a soldier in the Continental army." This proves that there isn't any person living who is a continental, because all the men in that army are dead. The only other continental I know that is a person is the car in the T.V. show "My Mother the Car." Third, I would like to prove that a person can't be a grease. Webster's definition of grease is, "Fat or fatness of an animal's body." I think pure' logic and common sense will tell you that no person came from the fat of an animal. By these definitions it is proved that a person is neither frat, continental nor grease. But finding that people consider themselves as a part of these groups I will fill in what was left out of the forgoing mentioned article. It was stated that a grease stands on the corner and smokes and cusses and swears. I'm going to add drinkh}g?to this test. Yes, some grease smoke, drink, and cuss, but notsall. It was stated that this wasn't for the frats. Well, I'd like to know what group these people who onsider themselves f r a t s , should belong to who do drink, smoke, and cuss because there is about the same percent age of frats and continentals who do drink, smoke and cuss. It was also stated that the grease wear tiheir pants so tight that you can count the hairs on their legs. Again this is some of the grease, not all of them. I have to admit that the way some of the frat boys wear their pants you couldn't count the hairs oft their legs. The reason for this is that they wear their pants so ight that they have to shave the hair off of their legs before they can pull their pants on.

Brighton, Mich. 48118 8-l-fi€p are also plenty of frats and continentals Who wear their pants up to six inches above the shoes The idea that the frats follow the dress code is out. This is proved by the fact that some wear tight and short pants. It is also out because the dress code states lhat the hair should be worn in a normal hair do and at a reasonable length.. Hair hanging, like a girl's bangs on a boy isn't exactly a normal hairdo. Their are also frats that insist on wearing their shirts with the shirt tail outside the pants instead of inside as the dress code states they are to do. I don't know where he got his information about grease leading in the noon drag strip up and down the Main Street hill, because I didn't realize that calling yourself a frat took the notions out of your head to lay a patch or go at speeds over the speed limit. But considering he must have gotten it from a good source, he will have to eliminate the fact that the greases are the ones breaking the bottles in the A & P parking lot, because with all the speeding and tires peeling at noon the grease wouldn't have time for such little things as breaking bottles. He did make one very true statement. He said you wouldn't find very many, if any greases on a University Campus. I don't see how you could find something or some one that doesn't exist. Besides, What do ' o u classify the bearded beatnik as? While I was talking to Mrs. Addington about her views on the subject she said, "Since when does being with any 'in' group (whether frat or grease) show the independence and individual personality of the American teen? America is noted for its uniqueness and individual tastes. Will the American teen ruin this special characteristic of the U.S.A. by being a conformist?!' This means that if your friend likes black pants or white levis, don't kick him out of your group because everyone has his own likes and dislikes in the eolor of the clothes he wears. I'm not trying to cut down any certain person (except the person who wrote that article) in this article. I'm just trying to get the point over that there isn't any such thing as a person being frat, grease or continental; also that there are good and bad in every group. This goes back to the point that the fraits are no more frat than the person who wears tight black pants with high heels on his shoes. I think the person who wrote that story should apologize to the people that he cut down and tried to hurt by telling such a one sided story. B.HS. Fan Doar Brightonites: Thank you all so much for a very enjoyable day with you in your school. I have never felt so welcome anywhere; you seemed to go out of your way to be friendly. I know that your school Is overcrowded, and that you are awaiting the completion of a new building. You seem to be making the best of it; I didn't hear one complaint. I was so surprised to see your lockers left open as they are, with not a thought of closing them, let alone locking them. This must be symbolic of the one-big-happy-family attitude you have. I won't forget your pep assemble and, later, that exciting game. Once, I got colors straightened out (like Clarkston our colors are blue and gold), I cheered like a fellow Brightonite; your school spirit was so contagious.

National Honor Society members are automatically made eligible for scholarship by taking thjs test. The P.SAT. is not used for college entrance, but as a practice test for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (S.A.T.). The S.A.T. was taken by several seniors on Saturday, November 4, at test centers in Fenton and I.alford. About sixteen colleges in Michigan require the S.A.T. for entrance, while one, Central Michigan, requires the American College Testing Program (A.C.T.) examination. The ACT. and the S.A.T. aTe often referred to as College Entrance Exams, and are given several times a year, usually about two months past. The State Competitive Scholarships for the academic year 1966-67, were given at Howell High School, November 20. Last year, the first year the tests were given, 4,600 scholarships were given to deserving students in the state of Michigan. This year about 6,000 scholarships will be given. A three hour Air Force Aptitude Test was given Novembei 29, The test was taken by twenty- six students of B.H.S., both girls and boys, in an attempt to find out if the students would fit in military service.

A Fiction Story By High Student It was dark and gloomy out. The sky shed lights of gold, purpie and burnt orange. There was no wind at all, and the heavy, hot air pressed down on everything and everyone. Once in a while a sharp flash of lightening would pierce the sky. If one didn't sense the danger in the atmosphere, one might think the horizon was very beautiful. An old man sat on the rickety front steps of his hut and stared at the sky. He waitched the pale shafts of light that fUYouth Speaks Oit By P. Carusi What's the matter with you guys? You should know better.

The B.H.S. five were on top all through out the game as South Lyon could never quite catch up after their first and second quarters South Lyon just couldn't seem to get the range of the basket as they only scored 9 points to Brighton's 18 in the second quarter, Their coach must have read thorn the riot act at half time as they came back in the third and fourth periods and closed the gap between the scores a little bit. They couldn't quite make up for the bad start that they had. Brighton still out scored them as they scored 14 and 16 respectively to South Lyons 13 to 15, These are the box scores for Brighton: FG FT FA PF TP Fisher 2 2 3 4 6 Carney 10 0 2 4 20 Caid 5 5 7 3 15 Miller 5 1 3 0 11 Brooks 3 0 1 5 6 November Auto Deaths Decline BRIGHTON —November traffic deaths in Michigan, totalling 156, were 22 or 12 per cent less than 178 in the same month a year ago, according to State Police figures.

He stared long and hard at the wharf that stretched shabbily from the fishery to the grimy land. Suddenly a flash of lightening showed the old man what the old buildings really were like. The fishery was still yellow with newness; thirty small boats were clustered around the legs of the pier, and two large boats were waiting to take their catch on to the mainland. Far out, just beyond the whitetipped reef, a few sails could 'be seen. Again he was a young man hauling in fish nets, lobster traps, and shouting orders to the wind. The mirage lasted a second longer, then another lightening flash brought him back to reality. The old man's wrinkled and bearded face was wet with tears. He arose and stood in the doorway of his lonely shack. It was then that he noticed the sky had lost all color and was now a deep and dirty black. Low rumbling noises ran through the air. Danger prevailed! Everyone was in their poor little huts when it hit. It was a strange storm, with high winds, higher waves, thunderous lightening and no rain. The first finger of lightening Adult or Child Students: Is there something bothering you that you can't quite put your fingers on? Maybe I can help. First, let me ask you a question. Do you feel like an aduit, or do you still feel like a child? When you walk into a classroom, do you act like an adult, or do you still act like a child? Is it your fault, or could it be — the teachers and adults? This is debatable, as all students are different. But as far as I'm concerned, if the teachers and adults of this school expect me to act like an adult, I should be given the respect an adult receives. All kids have times when they goof off and crack jokes — so do teachers. Kids are only human — so how about it? If the teachers and students both do a little thinking on the subject, maybe we can reach SOME kind of an agreement. had sot a humble shack on fire. The second bolt had hit the generator. A loud explosion sounded, followed next by tiny flames that scattered and flew and grew bigger and bigger. The few lights that had shown inside the houses vanished, and men scattered, separately, to put out the fires nearest their own homes. The men were soon followed by scared women and frightened children No one cared about his neighbor. After all, times had been hard for the last six years. Many families had gone to the mainland to live with relatives who were better off than they. None nver came back; none ever wrote, and no one know if life was really any better there. So, the weak and spineless ones remained on the island and lived in poverty. Some, like the old man, stayed on out of honor and respect for what the island used to be. The fire grew out of control and people began running to the wharf and the safely of their boats. Boats! The old man laughed inwardly. They were used so infrequently that they were half rotted, sodden with splitting boards and. beginning to fill with water when the waves splashed over into them. Yet, the people rushed to them and what safety they offered. The old man watched silently as the fire devoured his hut with greedly yellow, blue and red lips. Down on the pier people were pushing themselves into boats until there was fear of them capsizing. Out on the water the little boats were certain to tip or crack with the wind, rain, and strain of distance. The fire had crept to the shore and you could hear it hiss and pop, but higher up the fire still attacked the island with fury. The old man picked his way carefully down to the cave where his tiny boat was moored. Twice along the way he had to stop and beat out the fire that had grabbed angrily at his pants and straw sandals. Once he fell and lay face down while the fire monster enpt toward h,im. Thrn he got up and ran screaming toward the boat. A family with four shabbily dressed children, their tired mother, and scar-faced father were there ahead of the old man. There was no question of ownership as they all scurried into the little, old boat. The sails were as trim as ever and once set, the wind whipped it out into the open waters. The old man shouted orders which the slovenly father ignori< l The children wailed and moved in the boat causing it to rock precariously. Another boat ran along side and tipped, spilling the people into the angry sea. This old man tried to pull the drowning people into his awn little boat, but the father hit him and he fell backwards. His head banged against the mast, and he lay with his feet hanging in the mad waters. A child screamed in terror, and the mother hit him with the back of her hand. Instantly blood colored the child's face and streamed down on his shabby coat. The old man pulled his feet in and sait huddled in the back of his boat. He sat there for a minute, too frightened to move. Finally he summoned up his courage and stood up. Nobody even noticed when the old man lowered himself down into the sea and sank further and further.

NORTH PAGE B-6 UVINGSTON COUNTY'S WATCHDOG FOK 85 YEARS WKDNKSDAY, DKCKMBEU 15, 1965 What Is The John Birch Society? The Truth May Surprise You! This week we are celebrating our seventh anniversary. We are glad to take the occasion therefore, to give as much of an an>wpr to the above question as space will permit, for those who really want to know. So— I. Let's Start At The Beginning The John Birth S o c i e t y was founded in Indianapolis, on December 9, 1958. It was ehartered under the General Laws of Massachusetts as a non-profit educational organization. We have lived up meticulously to those specifications (including not making any profit!) for seven years. During these seven years we have sought to bring into The John Birch Society ojily men and women of good character, humane consciences, and religious ideals. For we are striving to set an example, by dedication, integrity, and purpose — in word and deed — which our children's children may follow without hesitation. Member* of the Society are all races, colors, and creeds. We are of all social, economic, and educational levels. We are individualist? who disagree among ourselves about many thing?. But we are firmly united in devotion to those beliefs, principles, and purposes which we do hold in common. For we have voluntarily joined together: (1) To combat more effectively the evil forces which now threaten our freedom, our lives, our country, and our civilization; s (2) To prevail upon our fellow citizen.* to start pulling out of the deepening morass of collectivism, and then climb up the mountain to higher levels of individual freedom and responsibility than man hag ever achieved before; (3) To restore, with b r i gh t e rVhrs'tre and deeper conviction, the faith-inspired morality, the spiritual sense of values, and the ennobling aspirations, on which our western civilization has been built. The longrange objective of the Society has been summarized as less government, more responsibility, and a better world. II. So We Collide With Communism These purposes bring us immediately into conflict with the Communists, on two levels.. For on the ideological plane the Communigts seek always and everywhere to bring about more government, less individual responsibility, and an amoral world. And on the plane of action, until the Communists can be stopped from completing their subjugation of the whole world, there will be no opportunity for us to move forward at all towards our permanent goals. We have undertaken, therefore, to play a leading role in plowing down, stopping, and eventually routing the Communist conspiracy. We realize that the one thing no conspiracy can withstand is the light of day on its activities. The only danger to their gigantic conspiracy which the Communists fear is exposure. For this reason, we do all that we «*n to bring l© our fellow citizens more knowledge and a better under-' «tanding of the nVetho^s, the progress, and the menace of the Communist machine. In this undertaking we have become a new form of opposition to the Communists which they have never faced before in any of the vast areas they have already taken over. So the Communists, grasping this fact very early, set out in 1961 to destroy us. The most official Communist publication in the United States is The Worker, in which the line is laid down for the faithful. During the last six months of 1961 there was, we believe, only one ij*sue of this weekly paper which did not contain an attack somewhere in its pages on The John Birch Society; and a»number of issues contained as many as six or seven separate attacks on us at that many different places. The Comsymps got the point, and have been carrying out the indicated program with increasing furor ever since. Of roun*e the Communists follow Lenin\ basic strategy of advancing Communism by non-Communist hands. They c o u l d nrvrr impose thr tyrannical rule of some three percent of a population over the whole population — which thry repeatedly do in one roirntry after another — unless they could inveigle enough non-Communists and even anti-Communists among that other ninety-seven percent into doing their rlirty work for them. Deceptively appealing, for instance, to every motivation in human character, from sordid •eirifthnegs to "practical polities'* ro mi*gtiidrf! idealism, they have gradually beguiled a lot of very good Americans into joining the attack on u*. Until the maligning of The John Birch Soricty now probably exceeded, in intrn»ivcne»s and exteiiMvene»s that fated by any other organization in all American hi*>tory. And in general our (lefauiers do not even try to refute the facts on which we focus attention. They merely call us names for bringing these fact* to light. III. And Stir Up The Politicians The John Birch Society is in no sense a politieal organization. We try to give our members information, understanding, and — we hope — even inspiration, which will make them better citizens. As good citizens they may take an active part in politics. But each member does so entirely on his own, working in the party of his choice, for the candidate of his choice^ exactly as do members of the American Legion or of the Knights of Columbus or of the Rotary Club or a Baptist Church. For we regard education as the means, and political action as only the mechanics, for bringing about improvement* in government. The mechanics will automatically be used when suf" fieient education has prepared the way. We mean it quite literally, therefore, when we say that education is our total strategy, and truth is our only weapon. Or, as made clear throughout the Blue Book and emphasized on its last page, our gigantic task is simply to create understanding. Members of The John Birch Society, however, are extremely hard working, highly respected in their local communities, and always earnestly determined on behalf of any cause or candidate that they support. When circumstances bring any appreciable number together behind any particular candidate, their weight is out of all proportion to their numbers. And that weight is usually felt, of course, on the side of the Conservatives— of either party. So the Liberals of both parties naturally raise all the clamor they can against Birchers in politics, As the stranglehold of the Liberals on both parties now steadily increases, even Conservative politicians feel unceasing pressures to "improve their images" by joining; the chorus of attack on The John Birch Society. Very few of them indeed have ever realized the extent to which they were running interference for the Communists. A related part of the mammoth and manyfaceted campaign which the Communists have now generated against us is the deliberate and widespread attempts to associate The John Birch Society in the public mind with the Communist Party, the Ku Klux Klan, and other so-called "extremists of the left and of the right." Our approach to the problems of today is so different from the viewpoint of the Klans that we have never knowingly admitted a member of any Klan into the Society. We estimate that about forty percent of our total membership is Catholic. Many of our finest Chapter Leaders are Jewish. And we are very proud of our small but growing number of Negro members, who are working so hard — and so courageously — with us to show our fellow citizens, both white and colored, how the Negroes are being used today by the Communists to serve Communist purposes. So we have no similarity or sympathy whatsoever with the Klans. While the so-called American Nazi Party, according to J. Edgar Hoover, has less than one hundred members. And it is visibly given immense publicity by some media for the very purpose of using it, by utterly false association, to discredit The John Birch Society. Nor is this campaign intended to serve simply the, purpose of a vague and general discrediting of the Society; or of merely discouraging our members and prospective members. There are plotters behind it who are obviously working toward* a mor/> specific goal. They wish to establish in the 'public mind, and then to formalize. the concept that since the Communists and Ku Kluxers and John Birehors are all "just alike." and since the Communists and Ku Kluxers are visibly "subversive.'1 then The John Birch Soriety i- "subversive" too. We believe it is to this enrl. at lea^t in part, that so many high ranking politicians have been seduced into speaking out against u*. IV. What Have We Accomplished? Wr have establi-hed a nationwide educational army. It ha* a fully paid fir Id staff. This army is fighting with f;iet> as its only weapon*. And the whole? nrmy knows that to he better informed is lr> be better armed. For help toward* informing ourselves first, and then other*. A%*» established a publishing <ii\i*t<»n. Tt is now turning nut books and painplilcN with a relujl value of dbout four million dollars per year. We also serve as very sizable distributors of the Conservative books and reprints of approximately one hundred other publishers. And our members now operate sonic 350 "reading rooms that sell books," scattered throughout the country — most of them under the name of American Opinion Libraries. We have certainly helped to re-awaken, restore, and strengthen, in tens of thousands of Americans, the three great basic human loyalties: Loyalty to God, loyalty to country, and loyalty to family. The Communists know that they simply must destroy all three of these foundations of our civilization. For they can never rule "peacefully" — that is, without constant resistance — in any place or at any time where there is loyalty to anything except to the Communist state. We were the first organization in the United States to start calling widespread attention to the world-wide Communist plot to discredit, demoralize, and destroy local police forces. Our members have distributed in leaflet form literally millions of our messages explaining what the Communists were doing in this area, and why. As a result, our Support Your Local Police drive has now won tremendous backing from patriotic citizens everywhere. We are engaged in an entirely proper and constitutional movement to bring about the impeachment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. As only one result of our educational efforts in support of that movement, we have awakened hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens to the vital differences between a republic and a democracy. Many of them have come to realize the lengths to which our Founding Fathers went in order to give us a republic (not a democracy) — if we could keep it! And a growing number now u n d e r s t a n d how important it u to the Communists to convert this republic into a democracy as rapidly as they can. Through the distribution by our members of huge quantities of books and pamphlets, we have brought a sizable and increasing fraction of the American people to recognize the high degree of Communist planning, influence, control, and purpose* involved in the "civil rights" movement. Our increasing ability to get able, informed, and patriotic Negroes to join us in this effort, especially through continuous and widespread speaking engagements, has been an important part of this service to our country* We have helped mightily to offset the emotional and extravagant tendencies of the prejudiced and the poorly informed to blame Communism on any one group or race or organization. The historical facts clearly reveal that the international C o m m u n i s t conspiracy reaches through every conceivable body it can utilize in any way to promote its ends. And we have insisted from the beginning that we are fighting the Communists — and nobody else. The Factfinding Subcommittee of the California Senate ended the twenty-five thousand word report of its two-year investigation with these paragraphs: "We believe that the reason the John Birch Society has attracted so many members is that it simply appeared to them to be the most effective, indeed the only, organization through which they could join in a national movement to learn the truth about the Communist menace and then take some positive concerted action to prevent its spread. "Our investigation and study was recruested by the society, which had been publicly charged with being a secret, fascist, subversive, un-American, anti-Semitic organization. We have not found any of these accusations to be supported by the evidence." What we have accomplished, above all else, is to keep The John Birch Society alive and "growing, as a rallying point for the increasing number of informed and patriotic anti-Communists. Our members have achieved this result, through staggering labor and sacrifice, despite unceasing harassment*, and distortions of their actions, and pressures amounting in many instances to serious persecution. And we intend to keep on growing. For we believe the incredibly vicious and massive attacks on the Society have been due, in any final analysis, not to our mis> takes and our failures, but to our successes and our progress. V. Which Do You Choose? We cannot give you here the full basi* for that eboicr. But let's put down a few point by point comparisons of the Society with its Communist enetnir*. < 11) The Communists seek unlimited power for themselves, over the whole human race. The John Birch Society docs not want any power at all over anybody, cither now or in the future. Agreeing with Lord Acton that "power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely,** the Society seeks to make progress towards its goals only by education and persuasion. (2) The Communists believe that any means may be used to attain their ends. The Society believes that improper means are never justified by even the noblest of aims, and that means are as important as ends jn any worthwhile civilization. (3) The Communists always accuse their enemies — such as The John Birch Society — of exactly those crimes w h i c h the Communists themselves are committing. We do not bear false witness against anybody, about anything. (4) The Communists b e l i e v e that words should be used to conceal thought, and that promises are made to be broken. The John Birch Society believes that simple truth is the very core of morality; and that when we can persuade enough people to make truth the prerequisite to all statements and the accepted guide to all action, at least half of the world's problems will rapidly disappear. (5) The Communists operate in secrecy and darkness. We follow the preponderant custom, among all American voluntary associations, of not publishing the list of our members. With that exception, The John Birch Society has absolutely no secrets of any kind. (6) The Communists seek to break down all morality, all tradition, and to destroy the whole spiritual and esthetic 6ense of values which we have inherited. The Society believes that a reverent continuity in human affairs is of extreme importance; and that even the most desirable change should be made cautiously, in order to be sure that it constitutes improvement. (7) The Communists believe that man it just a material combination of atoms with no other purpose than satisfaction of the desires of the physical entity thus assembled. The John Birch Society believesVjhat a Divine Creator has endowed man with a purpose and an "upward reach" which are far superior to, and frequently prompt a willing sacrifice of, the desires and needs of the individual himself. (8) The Communists — L e n i n , Lunacharsky, and many other leaders — openly preach that "men must learn to hate," and that only through spreading sufficient h a t r e d can the Communists succeed in ruling the world. The John Birch Society hates nobody, not even the Communists, but only the evil which they do. The Society believes that love for one's neighbor and good will towards all men should be a fundamental motivation in all human relationships. The Communists also pretend to believe — and some of them undoubtedly do believe—that Communism is "the wave of the future." We believe, instead, that the whole world is now tired of so much strife and bestiality, treason and immorality, cruelty and confusion, blashemy and destructiveness, b i t t e r n e s s and fear, doubt and despair that always go hand in hand with Communism. We believe that mankind may be about ready to arise, shake off this Conkmunist tyranny and terror, and move forward again towards a more enlightened and humane existence. We are'doing everything in our power, by all honorable means, to create the understanding that will produce this result. If you have what it takes, in character and courage, then by all means join us now in our epic-undertaking. With the added effort of people like yourself, and with God's help — when and because we have deserved it — we shall break up this immense criminal conspiracy, and return a world gone crazy to sanity once again.

Pirates Lose Home Games PINCKNEY - 'Hie Pinckney Pirates lost the two home games played last week on Tuesday and on Friday. In the first one the South Lyon Lions won by the score of 6949. The Pirates got off to a slow start, getting oniy four points in the first period to Soulii Lyon's 16. Although the Lions only got five points in the last quarter to balance out Pinckney*s slow start, they bad a big third quarter, scoring 32 points. This pretty much clinched the game for them. One of the things that decided the victory for the Lions was the 19 foul shots, they made out of 35 tries. Mike Sepulveda was high scorer for the Pirates as he netted four field goals and hit on six of 10 free throws far 14 points. Mark Doepker garnered 16 points to lead the Lions in scoring. Larry Brown got 12 points and Eric Leddel and Bruce Taylor each got 10 points. The South Lyon Junior Varsity were also victors over the Pirate JayVees.

The Hornets hardly treated the Pirates like hosts, however as the Ingham County League, Co-champs beat the Pirates, 9146. The red hot Williamston team hit on a high percentage of their field goal attempts in the game. Although the Pirates were not hitting too well on their shots and once again got off to a slow start, any team in the league would have had to go some to beat the Hornets on that particular Friday evening. The Hornets scored 25 points in the first quarter and 54 by the first half. The Pirates slowed them down to 17 points m the fourth period, for a total of 37 in the second half. Mike Stevenson was the lone man in double figures for the Pirates as he garnered 11 points, eight on field goals and three on free throws. The Hornets had five men in double figures lead by H. Shear who had 15 points. S. Dincke <and A. Daingnauit had 13 land 12 points, respectively, while R. Pierie and R. Koss had 10 points each.

In the opening moments of the ball game, Brighton scored the first two points, then going on to lead in the first period 13 to 9. In the first half the Bulldogs had an 8 point lead, but then got lazy on defense and their j L point lead was caught within two. But once again the Bulldogs -played *some good ball and at half time it was Brighton 31, Holly 27. Through both halfs, fouls plagued both teams. This was due to a very strict official, Lee M. King Jr., who watched the game from all angles and called 30 fouls on Brighton and 29 on Holly. Though he called almost every foul, all of the players respected his decisions and some wot»id. even like hiSn to officiate all of the rest of the games for the Bulldogs. During the third and fourth quarters Lolly was within 8 or 8 points several times but couldn't quite catch up with the rapid Bulldog's. Even though, during the last few minutes, Brighton knew they had the game they continued to pour it on and proceeded to wailk away from them. No one person starred for the Bulldog's as four of the starters hit in double figures. Quotes by Coach Mark's, "It wasn't just a few individuals that wanted the game it was a whale team effort and everyone wanted it."

Some of these have already been covered in previous reports, such as: Labor legislation giving tea chers the right to bargain collectively; Senior citizen legislation es tablishing, under the auspices of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, an Institute of Gerontology for the scientific study of old age; Public health legislation requiring tuberculin testing of children entering school for the first time and school instruction on the harmful effects of tobacco; Elections legislation allowing third class school districts to reschedule their elections for the same time as City or village elections in 1966 and thereafter and extending present board member terms until successors are elected and qualified; validating dual membership on intermediate and local boards of education; and reducing the minimum number of signatures on nominating petitions from 50 to 20 for school board candidates in registration school districts; Regulatory legislation placing the licensing and regulation of boarding schools under the Superintendent of Public Instruction; authorizing the Stalte Board of Nursing to approve study programs for foreign graduate nurses; and boosting educational requirements, etc., for prospective barbers. Other laws, not yet covered, include: Authorizing school districts lying entirely within a city to receive the tax millage normally allocated to townships; Allowing the State Board of Education to appoint a hearing officer to hear appeals on alterations of school district boundaries in order to relieve the backlog of appeals pending; Permitting the State Board of Education and State Library Board to accept anti-proverty funds for basic education of adult illiterates on a 90-10 federallocal matching program (no state funds involved); Providing for the election of a president by the State Board of Education and setting his salary at $70 per day and other members aft $60; plus travel and other expenses incidental to their work; Clarifying the duties of the Superintendent of Public Instruction with regard to teachers' institutes; Authorizing a local school superintendent or his designer to sign teacher contracts if so directed by the local school board, Authorizing first and second class school districts boards to lease property; Allowing school districts to bond for all things necessary for a total school program, including athletic stadiums.

Another measure which attracted considerable attention this year, but which fell by the wayside, was the bill to exempt Amish schools from the standard teacher certification requirements, despite hours of heated debate in the legislative chambers. Amending the School Code to provide that 5% of the school electors may request questions submitted to school electors at the annual election, to reduce the time a teacher must serve before being eligible as an exchange student with salary paid by the local board from 5 to 3 years; to authorize equipment purchases from district operating funds ajyt payment of tuition and transportation to another district even though the sending district maintains the same grades; and to allow students in or starting the 12th grade when school boundaries are changed to continue attending the same school without the payment of tuition; Increasing the time from 5 to 7 years in which increased state aid is paid to a school district when another district is attached (in whole or part) by an intermediate district board of education and'increasing the percom ages paid; Extending to n o n-public schools any auxiliary services (rcnuTliul reading, special education, school crossing guards. Around Bishop Lake A little damp, are you? Take heart — the snow cannot be too far behind! Surely all this hustle and bustle to get the cards mailed, shopping done, decorations up, will be hint enough for our King Winter to cooperate a little by fluffying up the scenery a bit! One brave purple hyacinth and a speck of creeping phlox put out a bloom last week — thinking spring certainly was early this year! Another car grew terribly weary of being tortured by cold morning starts, late hours, and took things into its own hands. He put down his head and, with a great roar, pealed right off of the Chilson - Brighton road and into a truck — ka room! He is spending the holidays and eternity in the happy-driving- grounds where all old cars go. Happily, the young neighborhoor lad at the wheel came out without a scratch. Three adventurous y o u n g men, Rick Glowacki, Curt and Ernie Bottke; wandered into the wrong section of the woodland and spent the rest of the week doctoring their sumac poisoning. We're happy they're well for Christmas. Ernest A. Bottke, Jr., supervisor of the Brighton Recreation Area, attended the annual Supervisor's Training Session at Higgins Lake all of last week. Miss Joyce Cocoanawer was home for the weekend. She is a student in the nurses' training school at Ford Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Schroeder were Lansing visitors Friday afternoon. They broke in their new Bronco on the tnp. Robin Glowacki was one of the Michigan residents who saw the "fire-ball" last week. She wasn't feeling very well and was gazing out of the window while resting on the davenport. She called her mother's attention to it — and marvelled at the size of the falling star Later, they heard about it in the news reports. Have you noticed how the traffic lights blend right into the Christmas decorations in HoweU and Fowlerville? A stranger would never see them. Perhaps they should be "sparkling" for the holiday season. If you want to see — and hear — something interesting and beautiful, drop around M-36 and see the live Nativity scene in front of St. Paul's Lutheran Church. The Youth Group will put on the pantomime on Wednesday and Thursday nights, Dec. 22 and 23. The music and narration will be on tape. You won't want to miss this bit of the true Christmas.

Y«or WtleeRM Wages H«tt«M will c.11 witk gifts and friaadly fa from tht County Focal Point of Winter Sportsmen BRIGHTON — Honeycombed by lakes, hills arnd winter recreation spots of all kind, Livingston county, with its proximity to centers of great population, is rap;dly becoming the focal point for winter sports. Contributing largely to the lure of outdoors during winter has been the clothing and footwear manufacturer who has developed articles of wr.ar that alleviate the discomforts of bitter cold days. Winter now is more than the time for skiers and ice boaters, ice skaters and tobogganers. Outdoorsmen have discarded the notion that winter is a time for sitting around the fireplace, repairing equipment and dreaming of summer. The county has become a leader in ice fishing, scuba diving through the ice, rallying on snow vehicles, and cross-country trail hiking on snowshoes. Great advances in winter equipment, much of it originally designed for the armed forces, has contributed lo the growth of winter outdoor sport. No longer is the winter outdoorsman wrapped in several layers of heavy clothing restricting his movement. No longer does the winter traveler clomp into camp on two chunks of ice that once were feel Lightweight, weather • proof clothing utilizing synthetic materials allows the winter sportsman nearly as much freedom of movement as spring or autumn garb while keeping him warm and dry. The last point is an important one for the winter outdoorsman. The heavy clothing favored by those who had to be outdoors in winter in years past did not allow body moisture to evaporate* in a natural manner. Walking any distance through heavy snow often caused overheating, an initial discomfort compounded when the sportsman took off some of the clothing allowing icy wind to turn perspirationsoaked inner garments into a frozen cocoon. The new materials allow outer garments to "breath" while resisting moisture from the outside. The same problem in a slightly altered form made winter footwear hazardous in the past. Rubber was the answer for many years with the famed shoe-pac, a boot with leather uppers and a rubber foot, the favored gear for winter sportsmen. New materials offer waterproof footwear which also allows the foot to "breath" and thermal type socks offer additional warmth and comfort. Leathers which can be made nearly totally waterproof have created a major breakthrough.

After five decades, the annual Farmers' Week at Michigan State University still draws an attendance of more than 20,000 each year, many from Livingston County. Over the half-century span more than a million have attended the campus sessions in East Lansing. The program will shift from a backward glance to a look at the future. Last year, was the Fiftieth Anniversary of Farmers' Week. In 1966, the theme will be "Agriculture Now and In 1980." Focus for much of the program will be a look at modem farming 15 years ahead as a final chapter in MSU's "Project "80." The project has been a two-year study of the future of rural Michigan. The program will open on Monday, January 31 and conclude Februaary 4. Nearly 200 educational sessions are planned for farmers, homemakers \and youth. • Among the special speakers for the week will be Carl Rowan, former head of the U.S. Infdrmation Agency who wiJL speak on, "Our Image Abroad." The annual farm management banquet, one of the week's events, will have Director David Bell, head of the Agency for International Development - Aid, as speaker. Lime Poor Soil Cuts Farm Crops EAST LANSING —Livingston county farmers are applying only about one-third of the lime they could profitably use on their acid-soil cropland" says a Michigan State University soii scientist. Arthur R. Wolcott points out that sales of lime in the state have remained below 500,000 tons each year for the last decade. During the same period the us*' of nitrogen fertilizers in Michigan has tripled. In 1964, 60,000 tans more nitrogen were sold than in 1954. "The residual soil acidity produced by this greater use or nitrogen would have required at least 132,000 tons more lime in 1964 than 1954." says Wolcott. "As it was, lime sales in the two years were about the same." He notes that many farmers stop giving attention to lime when they stop growing alfalfa. "This is a mistake! It is normal for soils to become more acid with use." "Unless controlled by lime, increasing soil acidity (a decreasing pH) leads to unbalanced nutrient uptake and reduced yields," comments Wolcott. "With lime-loving crops such as alfalfa, yield reductions occur below pH 6.5 to 6.8 with com. below 5.5." It is good soil management" ho says, to use lime as needed and to avoid excessive applications. And this means that soil testing is a necessary guide to proper applications of both forlilizor ami lhi)c. All Brigfctoi Storti Stores See Huge Christmas Sales BRIGHTON — Merchants in Brighton, HoweU, Ann Arbor and all surrounding areas expect the largest Christmas business in their history, based on the predictions of economists that the pace of progress quickens as the country heads into the second half of the 60's. There is almost total agreement that we are heading into a sixth year of unprecedented prosperity based on national figures. This section of Michigan is already suffering from labor shortages, necessitating higher wages to bring more workers into this area. Kiplinger reports from Washington there is less concern over a possible drop in business than at any time m the past 15 years. Looking at what this will mean to the individual possible results are: Taxes will be up. At least you'll pay more — despite lower levies on income this year. Social security tax is the culprit. Even employes and selfemployed in the Lower income brackets will feel the higher taxes, though in lesser amounts. Price boosts can be expected and mortgage interest rates which are pushing upward could increase a half per cent in a few months. Christmas trade is expected to inflate credit to a level "far above anything in the past" and the biggest source of credit expansion is the automobile. The American people owe almost 32 billion dollars for the purchase of new cars alone, and there's no sign of a slow-down. Michigan ranks as one of the nation's largest producers of Christmas trees. The state accounts for nearly 10 per cent of the total U.S. output. UOWELL Theatre Wed., Than., Frl., Sat Dec* 15 • 16 .17 • 18 Open at 6:45 Start at 7:00, 9:3* Son., Moo., Toes., Wed., Tnurs.

Through the generosity of passersby, that night there was soup for ail. Word of the unique appeal spread to other Salvation Army posts, and it soon was adopted by them .all — and it has ever been thus. uQf LXCUtl Why Dems Convene Jan. 5 HOWELL - Calling of the Democratic convention in Howell for Jan 5. by order of the Michigan Court of Appeals has left some confusion in the minds of many Democrats and has brought cheer in the Republican camp, hence K needs an explanation of the reasons behind the gathering of delegates.

The Sbaws have two children, Mrs. Donald Fowler of Whit more Lake and Mrs. George Navarre of Gaston, S.C.; six grandchildren, and six greatgrandchildren. a wealthy patron, at the time of the Saturnalia, the pagan festival from which came many Christmas customs. Martial, however, was not always averse to presents. After listing a large number of small gifts, such as toothpicks, figs, napkins, which had been delivered to him, he pointed out that it would have been much easier for the messenger to bring him "five pounds of silver plate." The equivalent of Christmas in India is the birthday of Krishna. At midnight his statue is carried through the streets in a torchlight procession.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Within Michigan: $4.00 yearly Outside Michigan: $5.00 yearly Freedom? Bah!! More than three centuries ago various religious groups in Europe were being persecuted. The Puritans, the Quakers, the Huguenots and others came to the newly discovered America to escape their tormentors and practice their religions unafraid and undisturbed. So when the United States was born in 1776 the great constitution upon which this republic was founded specified that everyone choice and also was guaranteed free could practice the religion of his speech. In more recent years there came to this country a group of people known as Amish. They made ideal citizens, never accepting public charity, but prospered and wor- • shiped God in their own way, until recently undisturbed and let alone to go their own way. When the recent Palm Sunday tornado swept the southwestern part wf this Michigan, just skipping Livingston county, the members of the Amish community were in the stricken area as fast as their horsedrawn vehicles could get them there to help the stricken people rebuild their homes. When a tornado, several years ago, destroyed a large part of Flint, the Amish again were there to re-_ build the homes, never accepting a" cent in pay. Many faiths have restrictions on food, the Hebrew beings the taboo on pork, the Catholics, the prohibition of meat on Fridays. The Moslems at noon kneel in the street to bow toward Mecca. And the Amish religion prohibits studies in the higher educational levels. That is their faith and under our constitution they are entitled to practice their beliefs so long as it does not interfere with the orderly conduct of government — and surely they have proved their worth as citizens. They want their own schools although they pay school taxes from which they gain no benefit. An editorial is supposed to be based on happenings in Livingston county, on politics, economics, governmental policies or public officials but the" treatment of the Amish wherein many states are seizing their property to pay the heavy fines imposed on them for not abiding by rules laid down by tyranical school administrations, stirs the anger of every red-blooded American. To strip these prosperous people of their holidays would force them on public welfare rolls, which in all likelihood they would reject and rather starve to death, is a crime against our nation. We, in Michigan, are on the verge of joining those who are persecuting these great people. Personally I have never had the honor of shaking the hand of an Amish nor have I had even the privilege of talking with one but like the late Will Rogers "I only know what I read in the newspapers." Christmas In Jungles On Christmas Day a soldier in Vietnam, dirty with jungle mud and blood, will tear open a letter from home. For a few moments he will forget his bone-aching fatigue, remembering boyhood days with his family and the excitement of getting and giving gifts. Tike sour-sweat smell of barracks and the dank green odor of jungle camps will be replaced by the smell of white sheets on the old bed at home on Christmas Eve, the pungence of Christmas trees and the aroma of food from mother's kitchen. The illusion will be gone even before the' letter is finished and that soldier will Ion* for peace, more than you or I who have never lived on a battlefield can ever long for peace, and he may weep /or a meaning that has gone out or his life. ,,. . . . As long as that soldier feels joy from no more than the reading of a letter on a battlefield, or has hope expressed as a longing for peace, or repents through tears for lost meaning, we know that God is alive. Day of Reckoning Probably comparatively few of us realize the extent to which federal spending and debt have risen in a very few years. The publication Washington Report tells the story briefly. In 1963, appropriations were $1.2 billion greater than in 1962. In 1964, they were $3.4 billion greater. And in 1965, they were up $16.7 billion over the 1962 figure. The national debt followed this trend. In 1963, it rose $7.9 billion over the 1962 level. In 1964, it was $13.9 billion above that level. And in 1965, it was higher by a staggering $19 billion. Just the cost of interest in 1964 on the existing debt was $11.6 billion. Moreover, new programs enacted this year will generate calls for even larger appropriations in 1966. And it is the general rule that estimates of the ultimate cost of such programs are commonly too low. A family or a business that continually spends more than it earns winds up in the bankruptcy court. Government, with its power to tax and appropriate and defer, can last a long time before the day of reckoning must be faced. But can it last indefinitely ? Augury For The Future As a recent census conducted by the New York Stock Exchange shows, some 20 million people now own shares in American business. That exceeds the combined population of 17 of our states and is a remarkable figure by any standard. -Obviously enough,relatively few of those 20 million people are rich. The fact is that the bulk of them are in the middle income brackets. According to the survey, the average new stockholder has a household income of $8,800 a year. He is 41 years of age. He may hold just about any kind of a job. It's interesting to note in this connection that the biggest percentage gain in the last three years, 47 per cent, was among skilled and unskilled workers. W i d e s p r e a d shareownership, which now extends to one adult out of every six, has been given a fortuitous name — "people's capitalism." And the evidence indicates that the majority of shareowners, new and old, are pretty canny people. They have a definite goal in mind — retirement, education for their children, dividend income to supplement pay and salaries, and so on. They investigate before they buy and get the relevant facts concerning a company in which they are interested. They realize that stock prices go down as well as up. And they turn deaf ears to tipsters and high-powered salesmen who promise big profits overnight Finally, those 20 million people and their families have a direct, personal interest in the future of American business. That augurs well for the future of this nation and the free enterprise system on which our strength and freedoms rest. Alligators and Pollution A newspaper issued by a major oil company tells of a Texas chemical company which built an expensive evaporation pond to keep wastes out of a nearby river. When rodents sabotaged the installation, alligators were imported to do J»trol duty. It used this unusual event as an 'example of the problems in air and water pollution control. The newspaper goes on to say, "We believe the best solution to any pollution problem lies at the lowest possible level of local authority, the place nearest the source: alligators for rodents, industrial plants working with city planners, state agencies overseeing public utilities, and so forth." However, the paper explains further, the matter isn't that simple. The amount of money available from local communities is not adequate for their pollution problems. More research is needed to find less expensive methods of dealing with contamination. In o t h e r words, we need to to know more about the environment in which we live. To quote the paper once again, "What is needed is public support lor additional extensive research into every aspect of air and water pollution sources and controls, conducted jointly by industry with local, state and federal agencies." Industry is doing much in searching for solutions to its own pollution problems. Government is becoming increasingly involved. But we still aren't doing enough, and we haven't learned enough. As the article says at the end, "Simply put, controls without adequate scientific knowledge are like the waste potfd without alligators— expensive and full of holes." Tltoti THE SILENCE of the night air is interrupted— a squeaking door—a patter o'f little feet on the stairs—muffled giggles—excited whispers—the clicking of a light switch. Yes, the pre-dawn of another Christmas day has come to the home. The neat piles of gifts, so meticulously wrapped, under the star-spangled tree are torn asunder-r-the room becomes a maelstrom of colorful ribbon — a sea of wrapping paper of kaleidoscopic hues—and a cyclonic display of Santa's best wares are scattered hither and yon — youngsters darting from one gift to another like busy bees in a flower garden in full bloom. And as the sun gently rises over the horizon, the kitchen becomes the clattering cacophony of dishes and bowls, pots and pans, that finally merge into a Christmas dinner—fit for a King. Then when the final hour has arrived—guests departed, tired but happy youngsters are tucked into bed for the night—quiet has been restored—the exhausted parents in the stillness of the night pause to reflect—how much of this day has been devoted to the true spirit of Christmas. The joy engendered By the family gathering pays tribute to family life, which after all, epitomizes Christmas—and helps to provide a fitting recognition to the Prince of Peace. TODAY'S INVESTOR BY THOMAS E. O'HARA Chairman, Board of Truttaa* National A«§ocl«tion of Invattmant Club* Q. Every time I think I'm ready to start playing the market, I get cold feet and back away, because it seems too chancy. Isn't there some way I can cut down on the gamble? A. There certainly is, and one of the first and most important ways is to adopt the attitude that you are buying stocks as a long-term investment, rather than merely "playing the market." At the same time, I should remind you that there is always a certain amount of risk involved in buying stocks, no matter how logically and sensibly you go about it. Careful study and wise selection, however, will help to reduce your risk and increase your chances for profit. Here are some things you might look for to help you "cut down on the gamble" in investing : Is the company growing? Are its sales and earnings per share substantially higher than they were five years ago? Can you buy the company's shares at a reasonable price*7 Is its price earnings ratio reasonable? Is the company you're considering extremely dependent on government contracts? If it rs, this could mean it is extremely vulnerable to any shift in political thinking, or in military demands. How profitable is it? In some industries the average firm nets only 1 to 2 percent after taxes; on the other hand, many companies net bettor than 10 percent on the sales dollar brforo taxes. What's the busmess's re-turn per dollar of stockholders money used? This is called earnings on invested capital and the higher • this percentage figure the moro profitable the company is likely to be, How * diversified is the company? Does it manufacture enough different products so that if demand falls off for one, tt can keep going with another? How depression-resistant is the company? Food, variety stores, grocery churns have high resistance to depression; autos and electric appliances, low. D o r s Hir m n i p a n y <l<\il in n;ilut\)1 IMW MKiternls. s u c h ;is ores, raw lumber, minerals9 This is a good inflation hedge, since acquisition costs are paid first and use spreads over many years. But these Industrie* are subject U> wide cyclical demands. Are the raw materials domestic, or must they be imported? In these days of constantly shifting political allegiances, this can have a life-or-death bearing on your investment. Answering all these questions lo your satisfaction won't guarantee that the slock you choose will bring in only profit to you, but it should help cut down your margin of "gambling." Q. How can the price of a stock selling at 70 to 80 times its earnings, such as Xerox has sold at, be Justified? A. Basically, it can't. Some buyers — and some brokers — will tell you that they are buy- .ing a stock at 70 times present coamings because they are "discounting" future earnings. In other words, they expect the company to earn so much morn in the future that earnings will justify the high price — thereby bringing the P/E ratio im1o line. They will cite company growth of 30 to 40 percent per year and "prove" that this kind of growth will make the company worth several times iLs present value in just a few years. There is some validity to this point, vsueh ratos of growth continue in a very few companies. But for most of them they don't. There are an awful lot of investors m the United Stales who will confirm that •his is a dangerous system. They are the ones who bought stocks of fast-growing , small companies using this principle, before the market break of 1%2 Those were the ones hardest hit by that setback. They still haven't recovered from that bout of misplaced and" over emphnsi?.- ed expectation of unending hi«h lates of growth. Though that 10-15 to 1 price earnings ralio philosophy may l>e slightly conservative today in some people's eyes, it's stiil .something to bear in mind ns sensible investing when you .s-l:irt flirting with the ide i of living :i stock with .in 80 to 1 V V. ralio. WORT from LANSING Stott toprts«ntativ« TrIOfTtQS O . SfiOfJM 1965 LEGISLATIVE REVIEW EDUCATION (PART IV) Michigan lawmakers rallied 'round the cause of education this year, allocating to it nearly one-half of tile state's total operating budget and making it the beneficiary of some 50 new laws — laws which add up to an impressive outpouring of funds and measures calling for increased educational facilities new and expanded educational services, and liberajftation of teacher and student benefits all along the line. Previous columns have high lighted state school aid, higher edi nation appropriations, and sofr.ie of the education legislation adopted. Other measures— briefly summarized — include the following: Colleges & Universities: Authori2e the creation of a Saginaw Bay State College. Authorize the University of Michigan to begin operation of a full 4-year branch college at Flint this fall. Community Colleges: Permit intermediate school districts in 2 or more counties to join in forming a community college district. Extend the terms of existing community college board members to July 1, 1966. Provide for an uneven number of community college board members in districts cov ering 2 or more counties, with allowance for additional repre sentation for the largest county Increase bonding limits for community college districts without voter approval to \y%% of the first $250 million of ttie district's state equalized yalua tion, plus 1% of valuation in excess of $250 million. Authorize school districts to issue self-liquidating bonds to finance community college buildings. (Community college districts organized under their own administrative boards al ready have this authority.) Scholarships and Tuition: Allocate $2 million for schol arships — $500,000 for renearals and $1,500,000 for new #cholarships. Allow winners of state scholarships to 'attend any college approv i by the State Department ol Education, including newiy-formed community col leges, rather than restricting them to accredited institutions* Eliminate restrictions on Michigan Higher Education Assistance Authority which pro- MICHIGAN MIRROR THEY "SNEAK" UP Expansion of state government sometimes occurs in such a fashion that the full impact is rarely noticed until someone points it out. Over a period of years you may read that the Mental Health Department has expanded services, enabling its institutional waiting list to be reduced. This is real progress, you note. State Police get a shorter work week. You observe that the previous hours were unreasonable. Officials say more troopers are desperately needed. You agree: it's rare that you see a State Police car on the road. New federal programs arc requiring state implementation. You side with legislators or other officials who say, "We're paying the tax dollars to Washington so we might as well get some more fc>ack." The legislative system itself rweds considerable revision in terms of operating methods and staff situations. This sounds reasonable. It just follows then that, the executive office must take on more manpower to keep abreast of the new and expanded services offered. On cMid on goes the list, but the changes are scattered over a period of time. Each is considered independently. Then comes the statistician who notes that state employment has jumped nearly 5,000 in the past five years to about 37,000 people, This means a payroll of an estimated $245 million annually. He notes that much of the $55 million increase in the stale wage cost during the past year went to mental health, social welfare and other areas of current primary concern. The legislature -.uhk'd alxmt. 100 employees test year, and the (iovemor's office staff ;md payroll have more th;i;i doubled in the five-year period.

Permit, under jurisdiction of the Michigan Corporations and Securities Commission, the formation of non-profit corporations organized to grant scholarships. Waive tuition at state-support ed colleges and unrvetfstttes for children of veterans killed in action or disabled in service. School Employee Retirement Funds: Extend the Public School Employees' Retirement System to include employees of tax-supported community colleges and staff members of intermediate school districts. Raise the minimum guaranteed allowance for retired public school employees with 30 or more years of full-time service from $1200 to $1800 per year if the retiree left Michigan public school work without qualifying for social security allowance from school work. A retiree with less than 30 but at least 10 years would be entitled to an allowance bearing the same ratio to $1800 as his total years of service bear to 30 years. (According to the Teachers' Retirement Board, this act will affect some 3200 retirees receiving less than the $1800 minimum.) Eliminate the provision calling for a reduction in pension benefits under the Detroit Teachers' Retirement System for persons receiving a military service pension, annuity, or similar benefit. Require that Board of Education members on the Detroit Teachers' Retirement Commission be elected by the Board. Previously the president, vicepresident and chairman of the Board's Finance Committee served as ex officio members on the Commission. This act also broadened the Commission's authority with regard to investments in line with other employee retirement systems. State Teacher Tenure Commission Increase the per diem pay of State Teacher Tenure Commission members, while hearing cases, from $5 to $25. Certainly this has been a year of new dimensions fei educational expenditures and programs for our state. in several corners of the State Capitol about the latest Democratic Party stand on fiscal reform. This one says 1966 is the deadline for aotion on tax revision, or words to that effect. It has been presumed for several years that any such revision would likely include a state income tax. The amusement is that this party statement is getting to be old hat. Under the last two Democratic governors, fiscal reform was written into the party's platform. Minority ranking in the legislature was then given as the reason for failure to accomplish it. In the first term of Republican Gov. George Romney, the Democrats agreed with him (and their party's long-standing position) but said they could not find enough opposition - party lawmakers to get it passed. This year's fiasco speaks for itself since it is still so fresh in mind. The Democrats strung Romney along before they finally admitted they couldn't bring In the votes themselves. What will happen next year while the Democratic majority is stiil firm is not too difficult to forecast. After all, a short session is planned to allow the lawmakers maximum campaign time. The Dems hope to keep the upper hand. Strong party stand or no, it must be remembered that while the Democratic legislators are members of the party they rarely have great numerical strength on the State Central Committee, which sets down such statements as the 1966 deadline for action. Of course, failure to fulfill the party's platform plank or subsequent policy statements can always (at least until 1967) be blamed on lack of agreement with Romney on details of fiscal revision. NOT SO SIMPLE Irate citizens sometimes come up with a solution to any community problem. In more cas- Nes than not, it usually starts but with, "Why don't THEY Just . . ." Take for example, the problem of a town intersection which happens to bo part of the slate timnklinc system. The problem is too many ciocMcnls. The citizen's immediate idea is, "Why don't they just put up a traffic signal? " Highway Department oftt- Letter to the Editor; Once again after 10 years a great Injustice has been inflicted upon the public, small business, and the fanners which are really the backbone of our great nation (yes, it was). Who was it thai signed this injustice and made it a law beginning January 1, 1966? It was our Legislators that we voted for and put m office, believing they were the proper ones to serve our best interests. Have we made a mistake? Or were they misinformed and high pressured by other groups that saw a chance to profit with this legislation on their side? What was made in law? It is the State Meat Inspection Bill. Sounds great, doesn't it, and it is in some instances. The ones I refer to are the packing houses that make a business of buying animals and selling at wholesale or retail. Now don't get me wrong. Not all packing houses buy sick or diseased animals, but a few do and profit by it. Who is this law going to hurt the most? First, it will put many small locker plants and small custom slaughterhouses out of business, due to the terrific specifications in the law that a person would be foolish to try and meet. It would put you out sooner or later, but it might better be sooner. Next, to the farmer. Let's say he had an emergency. The local veterinarian tells him it is all right to eat. But it happens say on a holiday, Saturday or Sunday, or a day when an Inspector cannot be obtained to give the two inspections re-. quired. This animal cannot be killed without violating the law, and will become a total loss. Does it make any sense? The law reads: The Director can set the hours and day that butchering can be done. This same animal, had it not been good to eat, the veterinarian would tell the farmer to ship it. Eventually it ends up in some packing house that is county, city or federally inspected. No further comment at this time as to what it is used for. Did you know a state veterinarian was "asked, "How many diseases can you think of that cooking won't kill?" His answer was, "I can't think of any." From reports from the average packer, a very close estimate on condemnation, ap-' proximately 98 per cent, are for sterilization only, about 2 per cent condemned not fit for human consumption. What does sterilization only mean? It means it has to be cooked. Again no comment. Since time began man has been eating uninspected meat and I challenge anyone to prove anyone has died or got sick from eating it. Just a few years ago a M.^.U. professor told a group of us that he got some meat sent in for inspection. He said that each take some home and eat it and if it doesn't make us sick it rs all right. Now if our senators are sincere in their efforts to make right a wrong judgment, they will be glad to listen to an amendment thait will save many •locker plants, custom slaughterhouses, and the god-given rights of the fanner. If they are not sincere then we know they are not the men we want to represent us any longer. James H. Prescott 114 N. Center Street P.O.

Several intersections in the state can be cited by department officials as examples of what happens when a traffic signal is installed after study of local complaints. It frequently runs in statistics like this: one-year before and after studies showed accidents went up from 4 to 15 at an intersection where a yellow flasher was replaced by a stop light. Tern persons were injured before the new signal. After the installation. 15 were injured and one killed. "Traffic engineers h a v e known for some time that stopand- go signals often cause more accidents than they prevent," says department spokesman Harold Cooper. "Stop-and-go signals have only one purpose and "that is to assign the rightof- way a4, heavily traveled intersections. "Our experience shows a genoral increase in accidents can be expected after installation of a now signal," said Cooper. Only about haJf the increase tan usually bo attributed to l'lMf-cml collisions involving motorists who forgot the new sign. iI was there.

WWtftsh," is the story of a Ohippewta girl who claimed to be one of the owners of a rich iron mine, and Willy Poe, a young untried lawyer in Mapquette, Mich., who welcomed a chance to handle her claim. Teale, "Wandering Thru Winter" is the last of Teak's four surveys of the American seasons. Zigzagging across the continent from southern California to northern Maine, he proves that even this barren time of the year is, to the knowing observer and the alert eye, exciting and entrancing. For children we have Vachel Lindsay, "Johnny, Appleseed and Other Poems," which aU who love poetry will enjoy. Smith, "Laughing Matter," a collection of stories and poems long and short, old and new, all held together by the theme of laughter. There is laughter, too, in the many illustrations of Kurt Wiese.

Pinckney, was taken to St. Jos* eph Mercy Hospital, Ann Arbor early Dec. 16, with injuries that resulted from a one-car Bed* dent on Main St. in Pinckney. A vehicle driven by Wetherbee struck the Leonard Lee gas station alter apparently Wetherbee "lost control ot im car at high speed." The accident occurred just before midnight Dec. 15. Two gas pumps were smashed, a light pole was knocked down and an overhead garage door destroyed. Troopers of the Brighton State Police Post described the car as coming from the west, traveling east. They said all four tires skidded, leaving 372 feet of. tire marks "from high speed turning movements" before hitting the first gas pump. Witnesses told troooers they saw the car swerve three times and s!rike the pumps. A passenger in the car, Richard Sockow, also of Darwin Rd., Pinckney, was slightly injured, according to the police. "Middle age is when a broad mind and a narrow waist change places." Holiday Celebrations Reflect Customs from Far and Near Celebrating the happy holiday of Christmas Is an almost universal custom, and many of the traditions belonging to the day are universal, too. Gift giving, merrymaking, gaily decorated trees and brightly glowing lights are holiday habits that have found their way to almost every corner of the globe. Along with the similarities 'eeakgs come a-car»llng to bring you all the joy* happiness and gladnpNM of hcnri thai goes with Chrlfetmas. To our song of good irhwr, \\v mid a special note of thanks for your kind patronage throughout the year. We are deeply appreciative. May our warm friendship continue for many mure year*. G. D. VAN CAMP SALES & SERVICE in the way people observe Christmas go just as many differences. From country to country, from city to city, from family to family, holiday customs vary, sometimes just enough to show the touch of individual imagination, and sometimes so greatly that it seems hard to believe the same day is being commemorated. Gift Giving . . . It's traditional to receive gifts during the Yuletide season, but the time is not always December 25, and the giftgiver is not always Santa. One of the earliest Christmas giving times takes place in the Netherlands, according to the Book of Knowledge. Here, the children receive their gifts from St. Nicholas on December 5. The date, appropriately enough, is called St. Nicholas Eve, in honor of the real St. Nicholas, a fourth century bishop. Christmas gift giving in Italy comes on January 5, which is known as Epiphany Eve. The traditional gift giver is Befana. Legend says that Befana misdirected the wise men, and now she seeks to atone by going about the world doing good to children. In Scandinavian countries, gifts are given on St. Lucy's Day, December 13. The time for gift giving in Puerto Rico and Spain is January 6, the day when, traditionally, the wise men came to Bethlehem. In Germany From Christmas trees to Christmas toys, many Christmas customs now universally observed came first from Germany. In the medieval town of Nuremberg, the highlight of the Christmas season is the "Christkindlmarkt," or literally, Christ Child's Fair. The "Christ Kind," or Christ Child, is the gift giver, and the culmination of the fair, on Christmas Eve, is a visit by the Christ Kind to the balcony of the historic church, the Frauenkirche. Days of group caroling by the children precede this event. Fun and Feasting . . . A Dierry, hearty feast is traditional at Christmas, but the ingtjjdients are not always the same. Norwegians might serve, instead of turkey and trimmings, codfish and pickled pork, while baked carp is a favored Christmas delicacy in Austria. Christmas dining customs change with time, too. History describes a, "traditional" Christmas 'feast of seventeenth century Quebec, a feast that would be considered somewhat unusual today. Before each diner, at the feast was placed a bowl of birchbark or polished basswood and a spoon of bark. The diners supplied their own knives, and there were no forks. Into the bowl went first the appetizers — cornbread and a boiled mixture of eels, salmon and beans. The soup course was a rich meat broth, thickened with nuts. Vegetables included corn, peas and baked squash. The main course featured roast venison and squirrel pies, with baked wild pigeons, partridges, blackbirds, owls — all served together. Dessert consisted of cakes of maple sugar or sunflower seeds SEASONS GREETINGS From Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson and alt the employees Also from Ford's Fine Family Mustang * Fairlane * Falcon • Thunderbird * Ford * Ford Trucks WILSON FORD SALES BRIGHTON and nuts, topped with a sauce of boiled dried berries. Lighting Up . . . Since the Star shone on Bethlehem, lights have been a part of Christmas celebrations. Today, candlelight services are traditionally held by nany churches at Christmas. Something unique in the way of Christmas lights are the "luminarias" used to decorate the city of Albuquerque, N.M., at Christmastime. Outlining the borders of streets, sidewalks, yards and even the roofs of homes, the uminarias shine everywhere. Made of paper bags, weighted down with sand and lighted from within by a candle, thousands of luminarias all over he city offer a soft light. It is doubtful that the 13 original colonies could have been united without magazines. Periodicals since the 17th Century are the oldest, continuous means of major communication in the United States.

The improved lights for downtown Howell were purchased on a recommendation by the Heart of Howell Association by the downtown merchants: Yuletide Beauty Is Reflected In Flowers and Greens Flowers burst Into bloom and trees and shrubs were green with new leaves on the night of the Saviour's birth, so legend says. Down through the ages, certain flowers and greens have held an honored place In the lore of Christmas — the holly and the Ivy, mistletoe, rosemary, the Christmas rose, the thorn tree. Ancient peoples believed that mistletoe had powers to ward off evil or cure a variety of illnesses. Druid priests of Britain, long ago, believed that mistletoe should be cut with a golden knife, then hung over doorways as a protection from evil. The Greeks, too, used it to ward off evil. One of many legends surrounding the poinsettia tells of a poor Mexican girl who, having no gift of value, humbly placed some roadside weeds at the foot of a statue representing the Virgin and Child. Instantly, the weeds became scarlet blossoms and thus, so the legend says, the poinsettia was created. Rosemary, the symbol of constancy, was at one time widely used in England as a Christmas decoration. During the Victorian era, it lost popularity and is now seldom, if ever, seen as part of the Yuletide greenery. An old story says that the fragrance of rosemary was given to it when Mary placed the Christ Child's garments on this shrub. Like mistletoe, the brightlyberried holly was early credited with magical and medical powers. It could even, legend said, tell girls the name of their future husbands.

The dose is one tablespoonful of this solution taken by mouth every 20 to 30 minutes. It can be surprisingly helpful. Along wilh it, sipping carbonated drinks (ginger ale is excellent) not only helps to settle the stomach but replaces fluids thait has been lost" Ronald Peterson will celebrate his birthday Dec. 25th.

BRIGHTON DAIRY QUEEN N. J. AND MARIE MePHERSON Neighbors Visit School Inmates WHITMORE LAKE - Because of "the fear put into the residents of Green Oak township,- by the boys who have escaped from the Boys Training School near here, those living in this area have launched a g better to acqquaint the boys with their neighbors. The escapees in the past have stolen cars, broken into homes and in other ways frightened home owners who now will endeavor to show the boys that the world is not "against them," as many of the inmates believe. A great factor m creating better relationships has been the volunteers who help to train the boys m useful pursuits and in various hobbies to make the school more home-like instead of having them look upon k as a penal institution. Herbert Munzel, supervisor of the township, safe) be began organizing ways by which boys fit the school could meet area residents after recent publicity about the "walkaway" problem at the school "We wanted to make the kids know we are aware of their problems," Muzzel said. Four BTS students, accompanied by the school chaplain, attended the regular meeting of the Green Oak Township Board and spoke to the audience. "I was very pleased with the way things turned out," Munzel sadd. This week a group of Green Oak Township residents went to the school for informal discussions with small groups of the boys. They took with them holiday gifts which the boys can then send to their families or friends at home, Munzel sadd. ; "Most of the late in the schools don't have any money for gifts," Munzel said, "and if they did they can't get to stores to buy anything. 14We just want to show the boys that the people outside care about them."

Vivian was presented with an original wall hanging, designed and woven by Mrs. Edwin Ochs of Hartland. Mrs. Ochs is internationally known for her unique collection of looms and her talent and knowledge of the art of weaving.

Beginning next month, local wage earners and their employens will be bit by a big increase io payroll (axes to finance the new benefits. As of January 1, working people who are covered by Social Security will begin paying at the rote of 4.2 percent on toe first 16,600 of earnings. Matching contributions will be mode by their employers. TbJs represents a big hike over the present rate, which is 3.635 percent iind is limited to the first 14,800 of earnings. As for those who are setf-employed, <he present tax rate of 5.4 percent on the first $4,800 wiU hsno to 6>15 percent and will affect income up to $6,600. As it applies to Livingston County, it boils down to an overall increase of 1927,000 over Che amount paid for Social Security iast year by local workers and their employers. Tbe figures are based on date' released by the Internal Revenue Service, tbe Bureau of Labor Statistics and others. They show that some $16.7 button was turned into the Social Security trust fund test year by the nation's jobholders and their employers. Uvtagstoo County's contribution to that total was an estimated $3,312,000. Neat year, under the new rates, rt wiU climb to approximately $4,239,000 based on the same number of workers. For a person earning $4,000 a year, the tax will be $168, or $23 more than he paid this year. At the $2,500 level, tbe new tax wai be $105, a rise of $14. Those with incomes of $6,600 or over wtii pay the maximum, $277, which is $103 more than at present. The increase per worker wili be somewhat greater in Livingston County than in many parts of the country because wages are at a'higher level locally. The frequent extension of benefits provided under Social Security has been accompanied, over the years, ty corresponding increases in costs. As an example, a worker who wtt be paying $277 next year was taxed only $30 in 1945. The rise is 823 percent. Joy tut* World Let us lift o u r voices in hymns . . . let us rejoice at Christmas.

Before they become a fire hazard, is the modern belief, and that usually means soon after Christmas Day. In earlier times, however, the question was not so easily answered. Some people believed that Epiphany, or Twelfth Day, January 6, was the proper time for removing all Christmas decorations. Others firmly contended that the greens should remain until Candlemas, February 2. One of those favoring the later date was, apparently, the poet Robert Herrick, who lived from 1591 to 1674. He wrote of taking down the greens in his poem, "Ceremonies for Candlemas Eve," but warned that the greens must be completely removed, 'For look how many leaves there be Neglected there (maids, trust to me) So many goblins you shall see." Police to Cut Auto Deaths During the Christmas • New Years holiday season, when in past years traffic deaths have reached the year's high point, state police and local law enforcement officers will be on the alert for reckless drivers and speeders in an effort to make this holiday season as safe as possible. Also the si'ate police and conservation officers warn that as yet the ice is not thick enough for safe skating and also warn tee fishermen against driving on ice until it is at least one to two feet thick. With Michigan's traffic record worsening as the year end nears, Col. Fredrick E. Davids, State Police director, said that special trooper patrols will be operated during the Christmas and New Year weekends in an effort to reduce accidents. Although Michigan traffic deaths to daite are about two per cent fewer than the toll at this time Last year, total casualties (deaths and injuries combined) and total accidents for 1965 are expected to be the highest on record. Christmas and New Year traffic fatalities a year ago were 38 and 21 respectively. The wor=* day of 1964 for road dea s was December 24, the day oefore Christmas, when 22 persons died Sixty-four persons were killed in the week in which that holiday fell, an average of nine deaths a day compared to a daily average of six for all of 1964. Special State Police patrols will be in effect from Thursday noon, December 23, lintil midnight, Sunday, December 26, for the Christmas weekend, and from Thursday noon, December 30, to midnight, Sunday, January 2, for the New Year holiday. Assisting the State Police will be 116 members of the National Guard who will serve as second men on night patrols or on point control. Parents are cautioned to keep youngs'ers from playing on icy surfaces of lakes and streams because the winter freeze has not yet been severe enough in most areas of the state to make those surfaces safe. To safely bear the weight of humans, ice on outdoor water k>cations should be about four inches -thick. Advisably, the safey thickness should be checked by an adul* and children should be warned about thin ice. State Police records since January 1 this year show 15 drownings resulting from falling through ice. The toll was 13 in 1964 while the annual average for the five years of 1960-64 was 10. In a similar reminder to ice fishermen who make a practice of driving cars onto ice, the Slate Police pointed out that the ice thickness should be from one to two feet thick to safely accommodate the weight of vehicles.

Thus began many stories about the Christmas tree. Early folk tales described a huge tree in the midst of a forest. The tree held many candles, some straight, some upside down. At the top was an infant with a halo around his head. It was believed that the tree represented humanity. The candles, up and down, symbolised people, good and bad. The infant was the Christ Child.

In almost every case the tree •will fall in the direction of the lean of the tree. To fall a tree follow these rules («ee drawing) :x 1 • Make your first cut parallel to the ground and exactly at right angles to where you want the tree to fall. Cut into the tree to about onetttlrd of the diameter. 2 - Make your second cut at a 45-degree angle and parallel' to the first This will result in a rounded, triangular shaped chunk of wood that should be removed. 8-Make your third an4 final cut an the opposite side of the t r e e , several .inches above the first cut For IIII OKI May all the spiritual blessings of the Christmas season be with you and your loved ones, and your hearts be filled with peace and true contentment.

Tree Plantations Helped By State HOWELL — Many cooperators of the 'Fenton and Livingston Soil Conservation Districts prune and thin their pine and spruce plantations to assure themselves of quality timber at maturity of the stand. There are •more than 3,671 acres of trees that have been planted in the three Livingston County districts. Proper pruning and thinning is a good timber stand improvement practice. The live and dead branches are removed from the tree up to approximately one-half the height of the tree. By cutting the branches close to the trunk of the evergreen the log, when harvested for timber, will be knot-free and will have a high value for lumber. Pruning of the evergreen trees generally smarts when the tree is about 15 feet high. Vic Horvath, district forester of the Conservation Department, will mark many of the ever green plantations for the thinning and pruning practice. Un cut timbers help p r e v e n t soil erosion, protect water supplies, provides wildlife cover, offers recreation for campers, hunters, fishermen and nature lovers, while the timber is an asset to the Landowner. May you and yours enjoy a Christmas rich in blessings. anusH NURSERY SUES The jfofrfrtt of Qhristmss [s the church bells chime on Christmas Morn, stop to think of their message . . .

SPEARS RADIO & TV 9945 Grand River AC 9-7088 Brighton Routes To Florida 4 Main Roads Florida Bound Nearly two-thirds of the total mileage on Lhe four main routes available to hundreds of Florida-bound Livingston county residents this winter are fourlane superhighways, Automobile Club of Michigan touring manager Jerry E. Fisher reports. This means easier, safer driving than ever before for motorists who plan a vacation in the Sunshine State. For those with less than two weeks of time, Fisher advises going by air. An anticipated contingent of 500,000 Mkrhiganians represents a 12 per cent increase over the number who went there last year. Economy and convenience, plus highway conditions that are getting better all the time, were ciled as main reasons most vacationers will drive. It will cost each auto passenger an average of $15.50 daily for travel, food and lodging. There will be an average of 2.5 passengers a oar. Motel costs en route will average $10 to $14 a couple a day. Mos: motorists will utilize the iwo western-most routes between Michigan and Florida, because they offer almost complete freedom from mountains. The other two routes, mountainous in sections, are quite popular during spring and fall, when they are snow-free and blossom-lined. The motorist bound for the sou ih land must remember to be alert in areas that insist upon strict enforcement of trafiic laws. While Jhese are few Jus year, motorists should still use caution. Boniueville, Ky., is listed on Jie laiest AAA report, as ts Livingston, Ky. Ludowici, Ga., a spot often in the news in the past, is back again and the motorist must watch his speed carefully driving near it. In Virginia, the area from Staunton lo Lexington on US-11 is listed. Find Health Center Ideal For Shelter HOWELL - The McPherson -Health Center has been designated by the army corps of engineers as ample to care for 804 persons for two weeks in event of a disaster. Although the dvil defense office in Howell is now conducting classes in medical self help and shelter management in its new offices in the basement of the courthouse annex, more classes in civil defense will be started the first of the year. The Health Center has two advantages over other / public shelters. One, there is enough trapped water in the building so a waiter supply need not be stored. Second, there is enough food on hand to feed 90 people for 14 days or 180 for seven days. This food used to supplement the Federal stocked sup plies will make shelter life more pleasant. er<m*» dna$ all the traditional joys of Christmas be yours . . . good friends and good times, gifts and greetings.

II "Go granny, go granny, go gidiny go," has been uttered by a few of the teachers when a student enters class m a granny dress. Granny dresses are the current fad in fashion. Girls all over the U.SfV wear them, but at B. H S. they are somewhat frowned upon. Some daring girls have worn them .a:\d have been subjected "o ridicule, crude remarks, and expulsion from class, all ill rough the courtesy of the teachers. Not all the teachers are ;:.:aint granny dresses. Many feel they are better than wearing short skirts. The women teachers show more approval for them than the men. The student body is pretty much in favor of them. Even the president of the Student Council thinks "they're kinda cute." There couldn't be anything morally wrong with the dresses They cover more than a regular skirt. Maybe our more conservative teachers feel too much of the ankle is showing! Argument Mars Student Council Our open Student Council meeting held second and third hour Wednesday in the gym, was a great success in the eyes of many. The students showed what seemed to be great interest in the going on's in our school. This is good but their interest seemed to be more against our school, its pride and looks rather than for it. Student Council members told their views on points such as the dress code, the school vandalism, locker inspection and assembly planned for the future. Their view should have been respected by the student body as the members are cnoosen by i»! Why then was this assembly more or less an argument between the Student Council and a group erf antagonistic students? Australia's senate has refused to raise income taxes by per cent.

Call Price Tag Symbol Of Xmas BY: ERIC HURST As soon as Halloween is over, the stores begin ordering huge amounts of Christmas things. People wonder why they can't retain the inexpensive quiet time of celebration of years past. The symbol of Christmas, they say, is the price tag. What's wrong with commercialized Christmas? Some say it is a time when people eat and drink too much; a time when present buying is just a race to see who can get done first. It used to be "not the gift but the thought behind it.' Now people decide whether a Christmas was good or not by the number of presents received. People get nervous breakdowns from worrying whether this one will like that present or whether he will "get" what he wanted. Every year the different manufacturers dream up all types of "wonder toys," domes, and presents "for the man who has everything." After all, the idea of giving presents originated with the Wise-Men of Bethlehem. The idea is to bring joy to others. Gifts serve many purposes in today's social structure. They show how well off someone is, how well he can divide his money evenly, and how original he thinks. So everyone should think this over before they rush out and buy fantastic presents for everyone on their lists: Is Christmas too commercial? First Continental Congress met on Sept. 5, 1774.

Good Luck Skiers! Lovelorn Dear Jan and Feb, A few of us students are writing this because we feel there is a problem at Brighton High. We feel the Student Council isn't fair to us. They make up the rules with the O.K. of a teacher. Sure they ask our opinion an the rules but thats all-the opinion. We are mostly concerned with the dress code. It isn't too bad a code but the Council contradicts it. They try to make us go by the code, but they don't. There are a few girls on the Council who's skirts don't come to the middle of their knees. We elected them to represent us, but it seems, though, that we represent them. My opinion is, that if trie Council pushes the code too much and in the wrong manner, they won't get any co-operation what-so-ever. The more you push something at someone, the less they want to do it. Can you help us in any way?? Stumped Students Dear Stumped, If you want the code changed you should go to one of the meetings. It that doesn't do any good you should get a petition and have the students sign it. It should do some good. If it doesn't help you I would say you don't have good representation. The school as a whole should do things in agreement. TEACHERS PROFILE ROGER BOYLAN By Helen Maher Mr. Roger Boylan came to B.H.S. in September of "65." Along with Mr. Demar, Mr. Boylan is also an admired specimen. He teaches Physical Science and Biology. He wa^ born in Detroit attended Flint Central, and went to U of M where he majored in General Science and minored in Physical and Social Science. Mr. Boylan now lives in Ann Arbor, he taught at Tappan Junior High. Mr. Boylan feels OUT big problem in Brighton is that the stu* d jiits have poor attitudes toward Laws in general. The community hasn't done much to correct it. The students should realize that school conditions at present and in the future depend on the parents and the adult members of the community and should not be blamed Oil school officials. When asked what he thought of the student body in general he answered, "most of them are learning." Unlike Mr. Demar, Mr. Boylan has a favorite cartoon character — The Road Runner. His favorite color is burgundy and favorite food is Lobster Newburg.

He introduced the project in a demonstrative S.C. Meeting. He asked that this be accepted by the schools. Donation could be placed in boxes placed in strategic parts of the halls. Then they would be made up into kits covered in plastic. Kits for wounded soldiers would consist of a towel (any color but red), antiseptic soap, a comb, and a mirror. There is a school child kit which contains pencils, a sharpener, paper, colored pencils or crayons. For the women of the villages there will be sewing kits. These articles are common to us but to the people m this war torn country they will be valued. This project is well worth the time that would be put into it. It should be accepted.

Come all Ye Faithful" to the Seniors "Northern Ughtt" dance, December 23, The cla« of '66 is sponsoring the biggest dance of the year next to Che prom. They are the first to have such a dance which will become an annual event from this year forward. The main reason the dance is so important is that a King and Queen from the Senior Claaa were chosen to reign for Che evening. Their court is composed of a boy and girl from each of the other classes. Since this dance is such a big occasion, boys are asked to wear a tie and jacket. GirLs will dress in their holiday best. The admission is 50c a person or 75c per couple "So come on guys, save 25c and take your favorite gal to see the Northern Lights at 8:00 in the gym. Xmas Frolic It soon will be here.

Mrs. Arvella Curtis and Mrs. Margaret Foetor offered suggestions to the loaders an choosing the right pattrrn for the figure. Mrs. Raymond Maltby and Mrs Curtis served as models for the pattern fitting demonstration, Mrs, Ralph Hall, of Pinckney, and Mrs, Merlin Egglreton, of Fowlerville, assisted with illustrative material and room set-up. Good fits in a garment depends upon the selection of a reliable pattern in the type and size that come nearest to the wearer's figure. All major pattern companies today offer complete ranges of types and sizes, and show the important figure measurements J!or each in tfie""pattern bcoks avaflatte on any pattern counter.

It's a time to give, a time to receive. But, sometimes the spiritual side is overlooked; not deliberately, of course, but lost in the delightful chaos of cheer and joy and fun. Then remind yourself, to go to church—your choice! Pause there to pray, to give thanks for all you have received; especially, that wonderful gift, the gift of God Himself, in His infant Son.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good titi/.rnship.It is n storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither dcmocriicy nor civilisation can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: 1 For his own sake. i2> For his children's sake. i3) For the sake of his community and nation <4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support, Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.

These standards are to be set by the Secretary of Commerce and will be written by the U. S. reau of Public Roads in cr alion with safety, highw; nd v>hirle administnators. ., Hare expresses it: "Can you imagine a national driver license, federal license plates, vehicle inspections controlled by the federal government, a nationwide speed limit, and federal controls over Michigan's entire safety programs?" The secretary of state, who doubles as chairman of the Michigan State Safety commission, said some "safety experts predict the federal government will 'move in' on the states within two years." He advocates that Michigan get its safety program into "high gear just as quickly as it's humanly expedient." Hare would like to see Michigan initiate some of the following programs: A meaningful periodic motor vehicle inspection law based on strong standards and a combination of state-owned and stateliconsed^ tations. State control over driver license examining to bring about more uniform and rigid standards of examination throughout the state. A study with an eye toward "beefing up" the state driver education program. Hare said ho would also like a complete evaluation of Michigan's total safoty posture including the state's point system.

R. Bernard Houston, director of the Department of Social; Services! said he is hopeful that; f e d e r a l machinery can be speeded up to allow Michigan to implement the program faster. The department H o u s t o n heads was designated by Gov. Homney as the single s t a t e agency responsible for preparing the state plan to implement medicare and to administer the plan. Houston said he first m u s t submit to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Weifare (HEW) a tentative plan of how extensive Michigan's program will be. Options, which permit greater benefits, are set up in the federal law. The tentative plan is expected to be ready by next week, Houston said, but HEW officials say they will need two or three months to examine the proposal ;and recommend changes. Houston pointed out that some pjfraes of the medicare in Ration wtti require 1 thrti action. A three-month animation by fedtral officUJ means that the plan will In tumid near the expected of the I960 legislative session, too late for action. 1 The tentative plan must in elude the anticipated extent of coverage, scope of the Michi gan program, and ttye way iW* to be organized. Houston hopes to speed up.

Thli especially affects all village* and townships m Livingston county. So few persons took an interest in caucuses, that the handful of people attending them held in their hands the fate of their entire party. Now the state requires that all cand» Mates are to be chosen by primary election rather than by caucus. Nomination petitions must be filed on or before Jan. 3. Then if there is a contest within a political party, a primary election will be held Feb. 21. The general elections are- held March- 14. Political parties must be registered, with the village clerk to be recognized as valid organizations entitled to place candidates on the ballot. Before Che new constitution, a candidate who had not filed in advance, could run on stickers at the last minute. This is no longer possible.

Stuhrberg Hospital Group To Meet Jan. 20 M I L F O R D — The annual meeting of the Huron Valley Community Hospital Association will 'be held Jan. 20, at the Milford High School's Little Theater, 2380 N. Milford Road in Milford. This meeting is open to the public. The Huron Valley Community Hospital Association was founded as a non-profit corporaUon, June 9, 1960, by a representative g r o u p from Highland, White Lake, Rose, Commerce. Novi, Green Oak Twp., Brighton, Hartland, Milford, "Wixom and Union Lake areas, with the purpose of having a community hospital in this area to supply the needed medical care. The building program since the founding of the corporation has steadily moved ahead with the association buying a building site in Milford, in December of 1963. However, since this site was purchased, the hospital board has voted to move the srte closer to the Union Lake area. Since this association has been formed, contributions and pledges have amounted to approximately $80,000. Thus is a very small percent of the $3.5 million needed. i a* Top: Village on Highway One that leads into jungle. Middle: Street scene in Saigon. Bottom: Vietnamese children. State Battles To Save Fish Livingston county's myriad of lakes so far has escaped the curse of the lamprey eel, despite the fact lampreys now are in many of the state's inland lakes. But there is little hope that all the county's laJkes will escape the depredations of the alewife that now has become a greater threat to fishing in the Great Lakes than even the lamprey scourge. According to Bruce Jones, Livingston county conservation officer, the alewi'fe is a small, fat, soft fish of the herring family, but unfit for human food. Before the invasion of the lamprey eel in the Groat Lakes, the lake trout fed on the alewife which abounded, The alewife was also found in the majority of the inland lakes, but they supplied food for game fish. But the coming of the lamprey changed all this. In the days when the trout kept down the numbers of the alewu'e, they were no! a peril but a blessing to our commercial fisheries. Then the lampreys came and destroyed the lake trout, thus allowing the alewife population to become so overwhelming that they are destroying all the eggs and the minnows of food ;ind game fish, thus fast mak-, ing our Great Lakes dead lakes. In an effort to combat both thr -lampreys and the alewife penis, the state is depending on the coho (silver salmon) to keep our lakes as' ideal fishing spots.

Backed l>y on-sevne observations of Wesi (v>ast experiences, Department fish experts are enthusiastic v e r chances of adding tin1 scrappy eoho to Michigan's G r e a i Lakes fishery. Much of what is happening so successfully for the coho from California to Alaska appears valid for Michigan. The big question: Can the coho live and reproduce in fresh water'.' The fish experts' answer: "It looks like it." Some of thfir reasons: The coho originally was .i fresh water fish and later evolved into an ocean Koer. At least one Alaskan lake contains a strain of cohos which live and reproduce entirely in fresh water. Both California and Montana have reared ^en.r.iiions of coho that have never swum in salt water. Meanwhile, back in Department hatchery ponds, about three-quarters of a million frisky young cohos wait for release next spring in lakes Michigan and Superior They have grown from oggs received months ago from western states. Many more are yet to come. T h e over-populated, underdeveloped bluegill, bane to, good fishmg in many lakes, is m for some high-powered study if plans materialize for a warmwater fish research station in Washtenaw county. Department scientists will try to answer: "Can radiation be used effectively to sterilize stunted bluegills? If "yes," overpopulations of the little good-foT-nothings may at long last be controlled.. Other studies will have to do wiih production of fish food organisms; survival of bass <>ggs and fingerlings; speed-up in blue«;ll growth — all aimed at improved warm-water fishing. I HIRED IT THROUGH THE WANT ADS ISNEDICOR'S CLEANERS IN PINCKNEY WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY 220 So. Midrifia Ave. Howell PIMW MtllN PAGE B-10 LIVINGSTON COUNTY'S WATCHDOG FOR 86 YEAKS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBEK 22, 1966 Famous People Call Yule Their Birthday A young farmer's wife in England gave birth to a son in 1942. In 1821, a baby girl was born in the Massachusetts village of Oxford. In 1865, the wife of a militant Christian crusader gave birth to her fourth daughter. And in 1883, in Paris, an artist's model bore a baby boy. What did these four births have in common? In each case, the child was born on Christmas Day, and grew up to become a famous person. According to the Book of Knowledge, these well-known "Christmas babies" were Clara Barton, Evangeline Booth, Mauflce Utriilo and Sir Isaac Newton. Founder of Red Cross Clara Barton, Civil War nurse, was born on Christmas Day In 1821. It was her warm thoughts of Christmas that led her, when she set off to visit her brother, a prisoner during the Civil War, to offer to take presents not only to him but to the prisoner relatives of all her Oxford, Mass., neighbors. Subsequently, Clara Barton was instrumental in founding the American Red Cross and served as its president for many I years. In Salvation Army Born on Christmas Day in 1865, Evangeline Booth was the fourth daughter of the Salvation Army founder, William Booth. By the age of 23, she was head of the Salvation Army in London, and in 1904 she took over operations for the entire United States. During World War I, the Salvation Army lassies under her jurisdiction spent Christmas — as well as many other days r— ministering to the needs of American doughboys in France. The word "doughboy" stems from the celebrated Salvation Army doughnut, a World War I staple. Known for Paintings One Christmas - born child had little cheer in his life, on holidays or otherwise. This was the French painter, Maurice Utriilo, born on December 25, 1883. Son of an unknown father and a mother who was a model for many of the Montmartre brush wielders of her time, young Maurice was shy and withdrawn, not only in childhood but throughout his life. Ironically, reproductions of many of his paintings, particularly those of the sparkling white dome of the Montmartre Church of Sacre Coeur, are used by the thousands every year on Christmas cards. He Invented Toys Sir Isaac Newton, English phycist, mathematician, philosopher greeted his first Christmas, and his first day, in Lincolnshire, England, in 1642. Frail and sickly as a youth, he devoted many boyhood Decembers to inventing and making Christmas toys. ihe OCd iim/ "Easiest way to stay awake during an after dinner speech is to deliver it."

Elk More Gun Shy LANSING — With die closing of the second season on elk checks by the Conservation department show that an average of two out of three of the 300 hunters granted licenses to hunt elk, got their till. Last year before the eBc b» came afraid of mankind, every permit holder got Iris elk. However the deer hunters fared far worse. Out'of more than 500,000 hunters who obtained permits to shoot deer only a few more than 100,000 deer were killed, many betog in Livingston county. The elk herd, estimated at 3,500 animals, is located in the Sturgeon and Pigeon River areas in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. A steadily increasing birth rate allowed the State to hold a limited elk hunting season Elk have been in Michigan since 1916 when, in an attempt to provide more large game in the State, an elk herd was brought from Wyoming to the Upper Peninsula. The first herd died out and the present herd is descended from animals rounded up from zoos all across Michigan and released in Cheboygan County. "Although most animals in the wild state carry some parasites," says Wayne State biology Professor Dominic DeGiusti, who is directing the study, "we found Michigan elk to be relatively free of them." The investigation included detailed study of the stomachs and intestinal tracts of a representative sample of the elk which last autumn's hunters brought home. A chief objective of the scientists was to search for signs of the so-called "brain worm" disease Pneumostrongylus tenuis, believed to be the cause of serious brain damage in certain large game animals. • V e wish you all at this tim» ~* -o A. plentiful measure of Yuletide cheer!

HELLER'S FLOWERS IIOWKLL Sun's Nearness Heralds Winter ANN ARBOR — Winter did officially arrive at 8:41 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 21, when the sun reached its southern-mos$ point of the year, called the Jtorinter soNtice. The sun arose and set abouo 30 degrees sou'h of the east and west points, and swung its shortest daily arc across the southern sky, and at noon reached its lowest altitude of the whole year. The day was the shortest, about nine hours long, and the night about 15. ' l\t this time of year, the earth is actually closer to the sun than duwng the summer, but the seasons of course depend primarily upon the 23 & degree lilt of the oarth's axis," Dr. Hazel M. Losh, U. of M. astronomer, points out. ''The fact that we arc closer to the sun, however, tends to make the northern hemisphere winter a little milder and the southern summer, coming at. the same time, a little hotter." F o r Christmas decorations, Ihe eastern horizon is host to some of the most striking and colorful constellations of the year, Dr. Losh says. Auriga, the large five-sided figure ruled by the bright yellow star, Capella, rises in the northeast soon after sunset. The Pleiades, followed by tfie rest of the constellation Taurus, rises at about the same time as Capella. The Heavenly Twins, Castor and Poll us, are found to the left of Jupiter, which is halfway between Auriga and Orion, "sirius, the Dog-Star, the brightest star in the heavens, is easily identified by extending a line downward through the Belt Stars of Orion. "Sinus has been watched, ad-, mired and revered from time immemorial," says Dr, Losh, "rising as it does in the early evenings around Christmas. It was the 'Star of the East' pointed to by 'Three Wise Men of Orion.' Fittingly, the Northern Cross (Cygnus) has steadily moved toward the west, and may be seen to splendid advantage on Christmas Eve, standing upright against the western sky." GREENS FORBIDDEN Until about 565 A.D.., the use cf evergreens for decorations at Christmas was forbidden by church authorities. By TOM KISER It's almost Christinas! You look forward to it for so long and it is over so quickly, leaving you with little, poignant memories, like the candles and the greens you put out for a party back on the 12th. The tree you decorated with the family on the 20th And when it's all over, the little heart tugs as you take them all down because another year -and another Christmas is gone that can never be recaJled. And then you quietly start to reminisce, Back when the kids were all just tots. You came home from one of those well intentioned but stupid office parties, loaded to the gills, and you still had to put the train together or the doll buggy, and each defied the best efforts of a graduate engineer, let alone a poor, semi-inebriated father. Then the night-before Chsistmas. Oyster stew and toasted. cheese sandwiches. The ritual visit of your youngest daughter's Godparents with their gift for her, and the love and affection of them for all of you and \ice versa. The yearly ritual of the stockings hanging before the hearth and the gentle jibes of the now adult sons and daughter that 20 years have passed and they suppose -that in another 20 Mam and Dad will still be cajoling them in querulous voices, "now, kids, hang your stockings in a row and leave a plate of cootaes and a glass of milk for Santo on the coffee table." Then to the piano for movie taking and final Christmas carols, played to the tune of an eff-key, hesitant, error-ridden reftditioa-of Silent Night by one of the 20-year-oids, each of whom had piano lessons that somehow never took. But it sounded like Silent Night to us. Then to the barn for a special Christmas eve treait of extra hay for the livestock. The contrast of the cold winter night outside with the warm, animal heat inside the bam. The soft, contented noises of the cattle and the sibilant swish of their chewing. One could stand wilth half-closed eyes and behold a* similar setting some 2000 years ago.

There was a time in the oW days, I mean IS years ago, say, when the three older ones were going to the little country school half a mile away across the fields and you went there Christmas eve along wiffi the other neighborhood parents and their kids to sit in rapt appreciation of a Christmas program that they and the teacher had struggled to put together. And at the close, a ringing of sleighbells and in cane Santa on a draft of icy air with a jolly Ho, Ho to pass out the many presents from his bulging pack. The flushed, bug-eyed wonder of the little ones that he should know them by name and hand them a gift, and then their feverish haste to unwrap it and hold it with enraptured delight. But now the country school is closed. Those same kids are mostly grown and some have little ones of their own. But there are pictures and there are memories. Finally there were the cheery good nights and the "Merry Christmas to all" as parents and children filed out of the school to their respective cars for the ride home. On one such glorious Christmas I well recall capturing the full spirit of the real okMiashioned Christmas. It was a snowy, blowy night so we hitched up old Prince, the family dobbin, to a cutter we had and drove to the school program with sleigh bells and all. By the 'time we came out, Prince, on whom we had carefully fastened a warm blanket, was literally covered with snow as was the sleigh and everything around us. We had taken our own blankets inside the school and the family brushed off the snow from the sieigh seats and cuddled together under the blankets, for the ride home. It was one of those nights that great word artists of the past have pictured—cold, heavy, falling snow, but still and sparkling, for the wind had died. Old Prince picked his way carefully as though knowing there was something special going on. We finally pulled up in the farmstead, unhooked the sleigh and led Prince into the wtarmth of his box stall where we all joined in giving him an extra ration of hay and oats. It was a night to remember. There is something about the farm at Christmas that gets you. It starts days before Christmas when we go to the woods and out our own tree. Buzzing and laying up wood for the fireplace, including a special yule log. The knowledge that the cattle in the barn are warm and well fed, that (he mow is filled with hay, the granary full of oats and the crib filled with corn. Nuts from our own hickory and walnut trees are in baskets before the hearth and in the root cellar and the pantry are a host of untouched goodies. There is such a feeling of peace and well being you want to share it with the world. If only you could. Yonder Star Becons Last week you, and the hundreds of excited children, visited our stores and malls to meet Santa Claus — the wonderful American image of the Christian Spirit of Giving. He arrived in helocopters, fire engines and whatever and brought laughter, a liUle bit of fear, and a wild surge of happy expectation. This week, "journey unto Bethlehem" and see the Holy Family aroung the manger in a crude stable and sense the peace and wonder and awe that came over the first visitors there. It need not be a long, dangerous pilgrimage — just a short ride to St. Paul's Lutheran Church on M-36 in Hamburg. It, too, is make-believe, but the message is real. The young people are showing a "Living Nativity" out on the front lawn. They will reenact that first Christmas in pantomime — with real live animals — while the Halleluj& lhs and ancient Christmas carols ring out into the night air! It will give you the thrill that will carry into your innermost, secret heart — and the wonder of Christinas will be there. This will be on 'both Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Dec. 22 and 23, at 7 and 8 o'clock. "Come and Behold Him!" Around Bishop Lake E. C. Schroeder — 227-3420 A very Merry Christmas to everyone! By this time you should be crawling out from under the decorations, wrappings, c l e a n i n g equipment, cards, and ready to take that deep breath before you plunge into the actual holiday festivities — and get buried under decorations, wrappings, etc., all over again! (At least, so far, you haven't had to shovel snow.) Thank goodness all this giving and getting is wrapped up so beautifully in the Christmas Story and accompanied by the music of the age-old carols!

Mary Schroeder and Charlotte Cocoanower took part in it. lit is good that the young people have an outlet for their talents and an opportunity to apply it constructively. There is only one discordant note — the band is given no encouragement. They word hard and long on their music, pay high prices for their instruments, give up many other activities to make the band what it is, and get only a fraction of a credit for each year they put in.

Sheriff's Staff Wins Pay Hike HOWELL - Due to the difficulty of keeping the sheriffs staff at full strength, because deputies were continually quitting to accept higher paying jobs, the county board of supervisors at the December meeting unanimously agreed to increase the starting pay for deputies. The supervisors were evidently in a mellow mood because they also granted the probate court additional help and voted an additional day-off for all county employes by declaring a holiday on New Year's eve. The salary committee of the supervisors opposed increasing the deputies' starting pay, but Supervisor Martin Lavan championed the deputies' request. He said: "We find ourselves in the position of competing in the labor market, and we can't expect to find first class, men at bargain basement Good deputies are hard to •and we've got good deputies. It will take only a small investment (to save our county talent and money. Since only three men have a complaint, we should consider our investment in them, and raise the starting pay of deputies, LAvan's motion to raise the storting poy of deputies to 14,918 was then passed unanimously by the supervisors. Livfcigston County Clerk Joseph Ellis had prepared a report showing a comparison of wages for counties of comparable size to Livingston. He pointed out that while Livingston deputies received less than some of the larger surrounding counties, that with the new wage increase for starting deputies Livingston toad the highest starting and top pay of any county of comparable size in Michigan. The county's overworked probate court heard welcome news when the supervisors authorized the hiring of an additional social worker, at the recommenda'ion of the State Welfare «j Presert'W the court hns only one juvenile officer, Carl Watt, and his case load has been increasing steadily for the past several years. Th2 additional social worker will be hired so as to come under next year's budget. Chairman of Ihe finance conn* miUee, Carl Rjulilu'a, n.{/j.ted to Lhe supervisors that two of *rr rounfv's deo^r'men's, the Probate Court and the sheriff's dcpartme ' h:d ex^c^dcd their budgets this year. Twenty thousand dollars was transferred to the Proba'e Court and $7,000 was transferred to tho sheriff's department.

BRIGHTON WHITE WAY ENCIRCLES COUNTY • 55 Leave For Physicals HOWELL — The slep-up in Viet Nam was reflected Monday morning when 55 Livingston county youths left Howell for Detroit to take their physical examinations for military service. On Jan. 10, 17 youths who passed their physicals severai months ago will leave Howell for training in camps throughout the nation. Already the pinch is being felt by factories and all other businesses. The consistent draining off of the county's manpower is resulting in a scarcity of male help in- all phases of business. After a draftee passes his physical examination, it takes about 60 days before he is actually called into service, thus giving him time to straighten out his affairs. The January draft call is expected to go even higher, with the result that those who take thoir physical next month will comprise u larger group than those who left Monday, The youths who left Monday for Detroit will probably not be called for their basic training until early in March. Inti-Poverty Act Delayed In Livingston HOWELL — Livingston county, the last county in the state to take advantage of the federally financed economic opportunity act, better known as the Anti-Poverty act, has only 60 days in which to join in the program. So far a committee of • 27 headed by Dr. Fred Hauer has been appointed by the county intermediate school board but before the federal government will approve the program for the county, the committee must have the endorsement of the county board of supervisors, the board of social welfare and the county board of education. At the monthly meeting of the supervisors Dr. Hauer presented to the supervisors a resolution of endorsement but the supervisors took issue with the method of appointment of the committee and refused to en* dorse the committee until it had made a more thorough study but promised action it IK Uytua-y meeting of the supervisors. Mrs. Ernestine Carlson, director of special Services for t h e Livingston imtermedia/te school district, explains the part to be played by the committee in taking • advantage of the economic opportunity act: "The purpose of the Economic Opportunity Act is to eliminate the paradox of poverty and pools of longtime Joblessness in the midst of plenty, opening to everyone the opportunity for educational training, th? opportunity to work, and the opportunity to live a dignified and decent life. "Since the Economic Oppor* tunity Act and the other Federal programs passed by Congress are anti-poverty in design, educators have a moral obligation to become involved in bringing relief to the underprivileged children a n d the adults in their given areas. A modest, pre-school p r o g r a m known as 'Head Start' can be the initial start with federal funds. 'Head Start' provides a six-week pre-school s u m m e r program for three- and fouryear- olds who need extra help to overcome deficiencies im- «d on them by poverty, this led opportunity will help tn to enter school with a itter chance of success." Dr Hauer explained that the present 27 member committee was chosen to represent all areas of county interest, and the members were chosen by the Intermediate School Board. The supervisors tabled action of the endorsement, however, u n t i l the January meeting, cteiming that further study shouM be made on how the members of the committee were selected. Dr. Hauer pointed out that Livingston county has only a short time in which to take advantage of the pro- Auto Flips On Icy Street When David E.

Mrs. Ray Maltby, trustee of Brighton Board of Education, presented the Board's suggestions in certain immediate needed areas. Since long range planning will be greatly affected by what happens in these next few months as the students of high school level move into our new building, the committee was asked to acquaint themselves with presort conditions, update needed data, study population trends, then consider The probable placement of grades 5, 6, 7, 8 in the present Jr. High-Sr. High building, to study passible renovation, remodeling and updating to better utilize present facilities, to consider the limit of wise spending in such plans on the old 2 story portion of the High School.

Texas is lhe home of the President and to Texas was moved from Cape Kennedy the space Launching facilities. However Michigan is far down on the list of stales that have government contracts although during World War II this state gained world recognition as the arsenal of democracy, Atomic Energy Commission officials .said they arc still discussing with the Budget Bureau the matter of asking funds lo start construction of the accelerator facilities. They said this would not necessarily delay, their initial plans to begin building the device in calendar year 1968 provided Congress formally authorizes the project. They denied published reports that the Budget Bureau had ordered the AEC to drop from its 1967 budget requests for $7.5 million for hitial architectural and engineering work on the "project because of the Viet Nam war. One official said the cost of the Viet Nam war is involved in many governmental budgetary discussions — but that he cfid not know that there was any such discussion related to the atom smasher project specifically.

The Rail Situation Nineteen sixty five has been a big freight year for the nation's railroads — the best since the war year of 1944 and the fourth consecutive year in which freight traffic has shown a significant increase. It has also been a year in which railroad spencjittgv, for new plant and equipment's expected to reach an all-time high of some $1.6 billion. The reasons for this encouraging record have been listed bv the president of the Association of American Railroads. They include the massive railroad modernization program; the influence of many new jreneral national prosneritv: the services such as pisrjrvback. rack cars and unit trains i and finally^ increased volume resulting from lower freight charges. And, on the average, these charges are still proincr down — a fact which is of pocketbooV interest to every consumer and shipper in the land. What are the prosr>eets for 1966? The spokesman said that, if the economic climate remains favorable as iust about evervone expects, railroadmen are confident that the industry will continue its jrrowth of traffic and service. Then he added this all-important observation: MYet the rate of its progress will depend heavily on 1966 developments in the vital field of public transportation policy — on government's meeting long-standinsr needs for equalitv in its treatment of all transport modes." And, he went on, there are signs of progress, among major domestic issues to be taken up in the next session of Consress. Let us all hope that this will happen and that the railroads will be relieved of the totally obsolete laws and policies which now burden them and impose unnecessary costs on consumers everywhere. Fair competition in transportation — instead of excessive and stifling regulation — is the way to the ultimate in service at the lowest cost. New Pork - Old Wive's Tales As a spokesman for the Amercan Meat Institute puts it, the pork industry has been doing some soulsearching. In his words, "In former years, 'eating high on the hog* was indeed ^a sign of prestige. Today, 'eating high on the hog' is more apt to mean a steak than a pork chop." Up until a decade ago, more pork was consumed in the United States than any other meat. But in latter years, beef has passed it by. Industry leaders have looked into the reasons which have held back pork consumption, and they are doing something about them. Tor one thing, pork has been considered too fat. That is no longer true — the meat-type hogs now produced are a far cry from the fat, jowly animal of the past. T?QY another, not enough people have realized what dietitians know — that pork, in addition to providing high quality proteins also is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals. For still another, many think that pork is not easily digestible. That is simply not so — extensive studies have shown that pork is among the most digestible of all foods. Other beliefs, all mistaken, have stood in the way of increased pork consumption. To quote the spokesman once more, 'Pork \& not only an important part of our diet, it is also an important part of our economy. I believe that all home economics teachers can perform a highly • useful service by shattering for their students sonu* of these old wive** tales about pork and emphasize the fascinating story of the new pork — rts nutrition, wise of preparation and its unique, flavor." That is A aound and constructive suggestion. Viet Nam Critics Back in 1933 a college society in England, the Oxford Union, had a debate on whether to "fight for King and Country" or not. The meeting ended with a vote of 275 to 153 against fighting. Sir Winston Churchill, who called the event "evershameful," wrote in his History of World War II: "It was easy to laugh off such an episode in England, but in Germany, in Russia, in Italy, in Japan, the idea of a decadent, degenerate Britain took deep root and swayed many calculations." Similar events are taking place today in the United States. But, now professors are the leading performers. And, instead of debates, the protests are called "teach-ins." A "teach-in" is a campus rally with maximum publicity, where professors, both for and against government policy, harangue students on the situation in Viet Nam. Two "national teach-ins" have occured. Both received full television coverage. Only a handful of professors across the country oppose our stand in Viet Nam. But critics in the "teach-ins" have made a larger noise and had a bigger effect than one usually expects from such a small minority. Enemies of the America have taken the "teach-ins" as indicators of a deep and widespread discontent in America over our policy in Viet Nam. "Ho Chi Minh, of North Viet Nam, is encouraged by criticism of United States policy heard among the Western Allies and the Americans themselves," according to an interview with the Red leader reported in Pravda. Perhaps, in time, the protests may "sway calculations," to use Sir Winston's phrase. In any case, China has long considered us a "paper tiger," ready to retreat at the threat of a bomb. And, to the Commie mentality, the "teach-ins" support this notion. Unfortunately, Americans' minds are "swayed" by the "teach-ins," "too. Simply because many people believe everything a professor says. At the heart of all the antigovernment .criticism is the idea that the conflict in Viet Nam is a civil war, a "popular uprising," and no concern of the United States. The facts show the opposite. The war is an invasion of Viet Nam from the North. The Viet Cong has followed the Red Chinese plan for taking over a country to the letter. They are controlled from Peking. A Fear Returns Fear of inflation has returned to Washington and well it should. Most prices are up, some sharply. The commodity-price index is up 2.3 per cent over a year ago after many years of relative stability. A brief item in National Review by a writer who signs himself CATO, observes that there seems to be little inclination in top government circles to stabilize the economy by stopping the multibillion dollar programs which are the root cause of inflation. So, he concludes, the intention is to blame" . . . every price increase and every jump in the cost of living index on business. Now and then, labor will be slapped across the wrist — but not too often." If this turns out to be the case, one of the businesses which will be on the firing line is retailing. The reason for that is obvious—it is in the retail store that the consumer buys his merchandise, and it is in the retail store that he sees the price tags boosted. So the retailer is the easiest and most accessible of targets. Yet — natural and even inevitable as this situation may be — it is an example of a gross injustice. The retailer is a victim of inflation, not a cause of it. American mass merchandising is one of the most efficient and cost-conscious of all enterprises. It operates on almost unbelievably low profit margins. The food chains, for instance, comimonly earn, as net profit, as little as a cent or a cent and a fraction on each dollar of sales. Other kinds of stores, whose problems are different, earn onlv three or four cents. Margins like these provide no room at all for absorbing price increases which are totally beyond the sellers' control. Unbridled government, spending, continued deficits, excessive wage costs, the cult of welfare statism and the countless give-away programs here and abroad are forces that rtejrrade the dollar. And every citizen, looking nervously toward an uncertain future, should know that. FOR Jt PROSPEROUS 1966 ECONOMIC PROSPECTS-1966 The gross output of the American economy will be S672 billion in 1963-about $43 billion higher than 1964. The National Association of Manufacturers' report on economic prospects for next year states that "comparable growth is attainable in 1966, which would raise the gross national product for the year to close to $715 billion." The NAM statement cautions that these are not unconditional forecasts. '"Non-inflationary economic growth is not a gift of the gods, simply to be accepted and enjoyed. It is to be won or lost, Spending on the degree of wisdom presented by the national policies we pursue." The NAM report points out that we have emerged from an "under utilized" economy to a "fully utilized^ economy. Our national policies must be oriented to assure the accumulation of capital and know-how necessary to make added manpower more productive at a steadily accelerated pace, the report asserted. To insure non-inflationary epnomic growth for 1966 and beyond we should: • Make sure that the federal government refrains from attempts to replace the marketplace as the instrument for controlling prices and wages. • Remove some of the special privileges and exemptions which by law have been conferred on labor unions. , • Use futurp opportunities or tax reduction in ways which free funds for additional saving rather than for additional consumption. • Allow interest rates to find their own level, given a national policy which permits the supply of money and credit to grow only in proportion to the growth in the economy. The program for growth will effectively serve both our national and international interest, the report concluded. TODAY'S INVESTOR BY THOMAS E. OMARA . Chairman, Board of Trutt««« National Atiociation of Investment Club* Q. Earlier this year I bought Porex at $26.25. It Is now down to |19. My broker said this to because it has been affected by tax selling. What does he mean? A. Tax selling of securities means disposal of stocks in order to write off losses in filing an income tax return. Purex is an excellent illusteation of a company whose stock might undergo tax selling at the end of the year. Investors who bought Purex early in the year found recently that the stock was selling for 30 percent less than they paid for ft. If such investors see another stock that they believe might rise in value as quickly as Purex will recover, they are quite apt to sell, take their tax loss on Purex and invest in the sec« ond firm. There is, of course, no guarantee that the other stock will appreciate any faster than Purex; nor indeed is there any assurance that Purex itself will recover from its present slump. But the person who makes a tax sale would reason that by selling the stock he would have a loss he could apply* against this year's taxable Income, and at the same time acquire a security that has as good a chance for advance m price as the one he has sold. Q. I own stocks m General Mills and m Ford Motor Company and am struck by how close they are together in price (both about 60) and yet how much more Ford is earning this year than Generafl Mills is. My broker says Ford's earnings wMl be about $6 a share this year, while General Mills' will be only about $2.SO. Why shouldn't I sell General Mills and cash in on the Ford profits? A. Your thinking is good. But what most investors are probably thinking is that Ford is engaged in a highly cyclical industry, where income is likely to fluctuate between rather extreme highs and lows; whereas the food industry, of which General Mills is a member, is much more stable, and is likely to show slow growth and a steadier income pattern. Basically, the difference is between "cyclical11 industries — such as those that manufacture hard goods, or "postponaibles" and those industries producing items, such as foodstuffs, which the public must buy regardless of*whemer the economy is up or down. Automobile stocks are considered cyclical. They customarily sell at a relatively low price/ earnings ratio, since investors have less confidence in their ability to continue to maintain the same earnings rate. Such is the situation with Ford, wrth a P/E ratio of 10 to 1. as compared to General Mills' P / E ratio of 21. Auto stocks took especially good this year, with auto production hitting-^lTtime highs. Blit let auto sales drop even slightly and your General Mills stock by comparison will look more glamorous. In 1013, the avoi'iW Detroit Kriison ivswk'nliul cuslonirv paid 5.8 cents pel1 kilow,.it-liour of cK'clricity. Uist year, he paid Irs* UKIII 2.(> eciils [X'Y kilowatt hour. ^ MICHIGAN MIRROR NO CENTS SENSE Increased salary rates for state agency heads probably gained a few legislative votes recently when Gus Harrison resigned as director to take a lower civil service post within the corrections department. The legislature has been asked more than once by Gov. George Romney to raise the pay levels of the top state administrators. Each request has been turned down. Romney contends it is inconsistent with good/business practice to have a situation where the head of a department is outranked in salary by one or more of the employees under him. In the corrections instance, Harrison as director was paid $20,000 a year. He now will take a civil service classified position as deputy director for field services which will pay him more than $20,000 including the fringe benefits and security of the merit rating classification. Harrison's new position is not the only one in the department which pays at this level. Also to be considered is the fact that the civil services rates will be boosted again in July while the director's salary is fixed from year to year by legislative dictate. As director Harrison and other department heads were subject to "the pleasure of the governor" or a board or commission empowered to hire and fire unclassified administrators. It was pointed out in the pleas for administrative pay hikes that the corrections case is not an isolated one. The same thing Is true in several other departments, particularly where professionals are needed below the No. 1 spot. Legislators have tended to take a rather selfish attitude on the matter. Their primary concern seems to be with their own financial rank: that if they who write- the laws administered by department heads are not worth more than the present pay, then the department chiefs must certainly be well enough paid now. Loss of Harrison, and perhaps others who have left these positions without specifically citing their reason, might bring tegis-, Lators to the realization that competent professional administrators demand and probably deserve higher salaries than the people they supervise. Interesting results are likely to be seen in 1966 an another aspect of the question of pay rates for public servants. This would be the individual responses, as well as the collective attitude of legislators regarding their own worth. A study is in process by a special 12-mernber commission appointed on a 50^50 basis by the governor and the State Senate. It has been asked to determine what Michigan legislators should be paid. Legislators a r e prohibited from raising their own salary during a term. Since Senate terms become four years long in 1967, any pay change must be passed next year or waft until 1971 to be effective. Likely the survey being taken by the special commission will provide only anonymous results but it would probably be very interesting to see how specific individuals consider (themselves in monetary value. No doubt there will be legislators, who spend a minimum of time and effort on official business, who think they should be paid twice the present $12,500. On the other side there would be a number of very conscientious men who spend long hours on the job, consider themselves public servants and are happy with the going rate. There are still others who work hard and feel they deserve more money. The numerical strength of these two extremes and the variations between will give the commission much of the informaition on which it bases its recommendations to the 1966 egisiaiture. WINTER RISKS Pre - holiday w a r m spells should have provided a special warning to Michigan residents about the traditional winter mveation activities. Normally by this time of year i^s sknting and fishing would bo in full swing but 1his year is considerably different except in tho northernmost sections where the cold hit hard, early and retrained. The long-awaited treat of ice on lnkos and^ stroams can be a very serious threat to the livos of over-anxious youngsters c.iuffh' up m the holiday-vacation season Stite Police warn that ice may look thick nnd snfc enough to walk nnd slide on even when il may actually be too thin to hold even a small child's weight. Parents must teach winter safety as importantly as traffic awareness. A child must be cautioned against venturing on ice before determining if it is thick enough. Ice on deep water should be several inches thick, preferably about four. Awareness of rescue devices and methods in the event of a breakthrough must also be taught. Even with thick ice, breaks may be caused fy underwater currents. Long branches, poles, ropes or a ladder should be handy in case the unexpected occurs. This advice from Stale Police holds true for adults as well as children. Winter drownings are not limited to adventuresome* children but frequently aiso include hunters, fishermen and other aduit outdoor fans who travel over frozen lakes or streams. Congressman Wes Vivian Reports One of the high points for me during the first session of the 89th Congress was the Second Congressional District Community Development Conference I sponsored in Washington on October 18th and 19th. We invited elected officials from throughout the Districts; over 60 attended me sessions; thirty were accompanied by their wives. Early in the year I learned that many village, city, county and township officials were not fully familiar with the various Federal programs operating to provide financial and technical assistance to local units of government. To make sure that our officials in the Second District were aware of the financial and other assistance available to them, we organized the conference. Secretary of Agriculture Or ville Freeman spoke to the con ferees about Department of Ag riculture programs devoted (to the development of rural communities. Secretary, of Labor U. Willard Wirtz spoke at a luncheon, about, 4he relationship m local governments to the Federal government. Undersecretary of Health, Education and Welfare Wilbur J. Cohen discussed the programs administered by his department, to help locaJ communities build hospitals, water and sewer treatment plans, the Public Health Service and other HEW programs. Federal officials also described the prospective programs of the new Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Small Business Administration, the Economic Development Administration, and the Department of the Interior. The response to the Conference has been very encouraging. We are now working closely with a number of official who are concerned with providing our citizens with a variety of services. Village President William Wall, of Dexter, is in the process of applying for Federal funds to supplement the funds to be raised by the sale of bonds for a water treatment plant to remove much of the high iron content from the village water supply. Monroe County Drain Ctornmissiner Don Burton has been appointed to coordinate efforts to construct water and sewer facilities in a number of communities in the County. Mr. Burton has applied for Federal funds to defray the cost of initial planning for these projects. Monroe County is also eligible for Federal aid under the Economic Development Act, and my office in Washington is working to make certain that County applications receive every possible consideration from the Washington agencies responsible for the allocation of the $200 million scheduled to be spent during the next fiscal year. In Livingston County, Green Oak Township Supervisor Herbert Munzel has zeroed in on the Farmers Home Administration. Herb 4s working with my office to arrange aid for a subdivision in the township in developing a new source of water to supplement the presently decreasing supply. We are in the process of helping Supervisor R. D. Merrtam, of the Township of Northville in Wayne County, obtain a Department of Interior fish hatchery which is scheduled to be declared surplus. The Township of Northville, jointly with the City of Northville intends to obtain the hatchery in order fo use the land, tocoted m both the city and township, for recreational^ use.

Know Your Michigan Law Att'y General Frank J. This is a public service article explaining In general terms a provision of Michigan law. Individuals who wish to determine the effect d! any law uoon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney. How many times have you found various merchants using the word 'wholesale' in their advertising ? More often thannot it is probably being used correctly. Unfortunately, however, kthe word 'wholesale* has been subjected to abuse by a few unethical merchants. Michigan's legislature in a 1941 act found improper and misleading the use of the word that a seller of a product is something other, than a retailer of such product. The legislature gave the following reasons far _ this conclusion: 'Consumers are misled Into believing they are buying goods at a substantial discount from regular retail prices, when in fact they are not; trade is diverted from established retail outlets offering various customer services (such as free deliveries, exchange privileges, and credit facilities) ... to estavlishments not offering equal services but selling at substantially tne same; price, to the detriment of the consumer, who is deprived of the benefit of such services without receiving compensating advantages....) ' The Michgan statute makes it an unlawful trade practice for any seller to claim he sells at wholesale unless the sale Is made to purchase for resale and of the sales tax law. Therefore, the two elements of a'wholesale* transaction are, (1) thebuyerwill resell the product and (2) no sales tax need be paid on the transaction. Furthermore, the statute prohibits any form of advertising (catalogs, exhibits, price tags, etc.) 'quoting Drices in excess of the prices at which such goods, wares or merchandise are regularly or customarily sold at retail... so as to imply falsely that the goods, wares or merchandise are offered for sale at a reduction from an indicated regular price.' As the wise consumer knows, you do not get something for nothing, and this includes socalled 'wholesale' or ' bargain ju-iewL Bj^price checking the same merchandise with reputable MertJihant*; you ra^ fihd that the •retail' prftTe Is the least ekpensive in the hwig run. Rail Flashers For Hamburg HAMBURG — Although only two trams a day pass over the Grand Trunk Western railroad tracks the crossing at Hamburg road is so steep arid dangerous that the Michigan Public Service Commission has ordered flashing light signals installed at the crossing. Peter V. Spivak, chairman of the Public Service Commission, said visibility of approaching trains is badly obstructed. The community of Hamburg is unincorporated, therefore the highway is under jurisdiction of the Livingston County Road Commission. Because of a steep north-tosouth hill at approach to the crossing, Spivak said, in addition to standard flashing light signals an additional set of flashing lights will be mounted on a mast high enough to be seen by motorists over the crest of the hill. Hamburg Township and Hamburg Chamber of Commerce representatives joined with those of the railroad, county road commission and PSC in a study of the crossing. Measures within the jurisdiction of local authorities to improve visibility at the crossing also received engineering attention. These included reduction of an earth embankment, moving of utility, poles, and the consideration by private property owners of alterations in a fence and a sign which now blocks clear vision. Rail traffic through the community totals only two trains in 24 hours, at 40 mph, but some 1,500 vehicles pass over the track every day.

The Bullpup's have a 3-0 record as Friday they proceeded to walk all over Clarenceville. At the end of the first quarter Brighton had doubled their score, 18 to 9 and at half time it was even better 36 to 16. Third quarter showed the difference between the two clubs as the Bullpup's outscored them 22 <to 11 Coach DeMar mew then that his curb was so far superior to that of Clarenceville that he finished the rest of the game with second string player. Even then they only scored 3 more points then the Bulldog's 14 to 11. Randy Needham tihone as be dropped in 22 of the 69 points that were made. The final ratings went as follows: F.G. F.T. F. PTS. R.

But in Chicago and Winnipeg it is still 1%"). In Saskatoon and Denver it is 1965. In Frisco and Vancouver it is 1965. So where in this broad continent is the New Year really born? When it is born at all—it happens in men's own hearts! Otherwise the Old Year goes on. And older years add not their blessings but their dregs . . . as men grope for shreds of time to complete old patterns . . ; remnants of hope to patch worn-out dreams. But somewhere a heart speaks to God. In the quiet of a churchly sanctuary it recounts the past with its failures, its defeats. And boldly it enquires into the future with its hope and promise. That soul commits time and talent and treasure to the purposes of Jesus Christ. And the Father of All, who is not dock-watcher but soul-watcher, turns the page of that calendar. For one soul at a time the New Year is born. THE CHURCH FOR ALL. . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH .

When asked if she had -any opinions of the students and teachers she replied whole-heartedly, "The students are friendly, and some of the teachers are willing to help you if you need H." As for B.H.S. Carol refuser to make any comment Let's Support The Dress Code BY: G.M. II "I don't agree with the Dress Code Why can't we wear what we want?" That's all we ever seem to hear when the subject of the Dress Code is brought up. This is really a puzzle. Why should anyone not want to dress neatly? It's a proven fact that the nicer you look and dress, the nicer you feel. It gives you more self-confidence. At one of the schools in our league, there is absolutely no dress code. Students are allowed to wear tattered sweatshirtsinside and out; worn, old blue jeans, skirts very high above the knees and shirt tails out. The kids at that school look like they're from a poverty region. Not to have a Dress Code at B.H.S. would be like walking into an office building and seeing the typists with short skirts, hair in curlers or ratted high, and blouses out. The men would 1K> wearing old I-shirts or tattered sweat shirts, faded blue jeans and no socks. You'd .say, "How can they stand to be so grubby," — But our high school would be ]ust like that office building • if we disposed of the dress code. Think about it. The kids in our Can You Imagine?

And here s to you, our friendt and customers. Many, many thanks1 BRIGHTON DAIRY QUEEN N, J. AND MARIK McPHERSON school look and dross like young adults, which is what we are. Let's give more support to the Dress Code and the Student Council. BY MARK HARTMAN I think the student council has made the dress code within reason for the students. I have to admit that to see a s:udent with his shirt out does look awful sloppy. I offend the dress code every once and itwhile, I think everyone does in the high school life. I think a dress code is a real good deal, but it should be similar to o'.lier schools who already have a dress code. Our school for instance lias u reasonable dress code. They have been wondering why they can't wear granny dresses. Well if you ask me they don't look adult like. What would you think if every girl in the high school wore them? I don't think it would look too good. I think our .school has a reasonable dres.s code.

Sees TV Aimed At 12 Year Olds BY ERIE HURST "I Spy," "Honey West," and •'Man from Uncle" head the list as popular T.V. shows this season. Last Christmas a James Bond movie was produced and since then, these, snows have been created to out do each other. They all conjure up fantastic little gadgets to catch their enemies. Recently there have been waves of editorials concerned with the value of these new sea-' sonal shows. The newspapers aim their writing toward 12 year old readers. T.V. producers seem to aim theirs at 'something less. The military shows depict a ridiculous group of men that makes you wonder if our nation is actuary safe. If there are any worthwhile programs they are far and few between. Specials are usually quite good but come so late. This years late movies are on the whole very good but again they do not begin until after 11:00 o'clock. You'd think that T.V. producers would realize that adults also watch television and that they enjoy a good program once in awhile. Even teenagers and Jr. High students express a desire for more intellectual shows. But until producers realize this it looks liye we wil have to put up with lower rate T.V. shows aimed at the intelligence level of 12 year olds. New Year's BY SHARON VOORHIS In the United States, New Year's Day is a national holiday, a time when greeting of "Happy New Year" is exchanged, and good resolutions are made. On New Year's Eve at midnight, meetings are held in the churches. Many people stay up until midnight just to see the old year out and the New Year come in. Generally most people ring bells, blow horns, and just be merry.

Mr and Mrs. Rich- BRIGHTON - The state highways department's proposed beautification program, calling for an expenditure of six mil* lion dollars during the next 18 months will benefit Brighton both on projects located on US 23 and on 1-96, the Detroit expressway. Most of the financing will come from the federal government's highway beautification funds. The state will bear about 10 percent of the cost. The program calls specifically for nine planting projects to screen junk yards on 1-75, I-fM, US 23 and 1-131. New state legislation to enable the state to qualify for full participation in federal funding is scheduled in the next session of the legislature. A legislative committee is conducting hearings throughout the state on the issue. Projects valued at 13,090,500 alongside interstate routes and requiring 10 percent participation by the state also are proposed. Included in the projects is the planned installation of modern toilet facilities at a total of 36 roadside rest areas. Sixteen new safety rest areas to be constructed at a total cost of $3,100,000 would be located on: * US-23 just south of Brighton, US-23 between Brighton and Flint; M-78 west of Flint; US- 127 south of Lansing; US-127 north of Jackson; US-23 north of the Ohio state line; US-131 south of Cadillac; 1-69 south of Coldwater; 1-75 north of St. Ignace; 1-94 near Benton Harbor; 1-94 west of Detroit in both the westbound and eastbound lanes; 1-94 on the site of the planned Travel Information Center in Port Huron; 1-96 west of Portland in the eastbound lane and east of Portland in the westbound lane; 1-196 south of Holland and 1-196 south of Douglas.

Melons Bring Howell Fame Howell- The fame of Howell's melons, now known throughout the midwest for their fine flavor, is rapidly bringing this state to the forefront as a melon producer. In 1963 the state ranked fifth in production of muskmelons with only 3,200 acreas under cultivation for the commercial melon market. More than hair of the mtlfffcmelons grown in the United States are from the irrigated land in the arid and semi-arid area of California and Arizonia. A New Extension bulletin "Commercial Muskmelon Production in Michigan" provides farmers with complete information regarding melon growing opportunities in Michigan. The publication is available from the county ExtensionServlceofficein the Courthouse Annex, Howell. Studies at Michigan State University show the cost of growing muskmelons exceeds $750 per acre. This means good returns are necessary for a profit which depends a great deal on control of diseases and finding a good market. Muskmelons do best on welldrained, sandy or sandy-loam soils. The use of rye strips to protect the young, tender plants from wind in the early growth stage is important.

The rapid growth of snowmobiling during the past several years can probably be traced to its appeal to all age levels and the fact that snowmobiles can go just about anywhere that there is snow. The snowmobile can most easily be described as a motorized toboggan. The hullis generally constructed of fiberglass and is open-sided. The front end rests on two skis which are steered by means of a handlebar from inside the hull. Below the hull is a cleated, endless belt which provides traction and is powered by a small motor. Cushioned seats generally provide room for the driver and a passenger behind him. The snowmobile is unique in that it can go anywhere there is snow or ice. Fields, frozen lakes and wooded paths offer no barrier to the ''snowbird/' as long as the terrain is reasonably even. Depending on conditions, speeds of 30 to 35 miles an hour are generated. Whenever snowmobiles congregate there you will find competitive events. Several such events have been scheduled in Michigan during the winter months. Included will be events at Mt. Brighton, in Brighton, the Snowmobile Derby at Ishpeming, January 7-8; the Snow Safari, January 8 at Harbor Springs and the National Snowmobile Rally at East Jordan, February 12-13. It is expected that several of the winter carnivals held throughout the state will also be scheduling snowmobile events. In addition to competion, the sport also offers the opportunity for group snow-cruising. Like many other activities, the sport provides the incentive to form common interest clubs.

Experts advise the snowmobilers not to attempt long trips in unfamiliar territory alone. Hunters and ice fishermen put the snowmobile to practical use.

Jap Tree Foils Tamarack Pest A foreign visitor with a mighty Inhospitable attitude toward insects could turn out to be a very important "friend" to Michigan's tamarack forests. Tile visitor is a tree — a larch from the mountains of Japan. Accordtog to Maurice W. Day, director of the Dwbar Experimental Forest, the Japanese larch is outgrowing native tamarack in experiments being conducted at Michigan State University's Dunbar research statfon. Day explained that the "foreign visitor" is also resistant to the torch sawfly — an insect which has been raising havoc with tamarack for many years. From 1690 to 1910, an epidemic of the larch sawfly threatened all of the tamarack, killing most of the trees in a great many swamps. Destruction was so great that practically all the tamarack now living started, growing after the outbreak. Since the epidemic, there has been occasional sawfly damage which has greatly reduced tree growth. And always, said Day, there has been a fear that the catastrophe caused by the epidemic could happen again. But the Japanese larch — either by itself or crossed with 1he native tamarack — could eliminate this possibility if the Dunbar experiment is any indication. Last summer, the larch sawfly struck again. It ate the fo lage in over halTthe trees o* the tamarack (which is also a species of larch), but was found on less than S per cent of the trees from Japan.

Loretta Nimo 229-9605 Bev Sinke, 229-6729 County Residents Tops as Restless Residents of Livingston County do a great deal of moving— more than is done by people in most other areas of the country. Because of the frequency with which local families pick up and move to new addresses, they are rated more mobile than average. Sometimes it is to live in better style. With larger incomes, many of them are switching to fancier, more-modern houses than they were able to afford previously. In other cases, business or job opportunities present themselves in another location and a move becomes desirable. Americans as a whole are more mobile and restless now than they were in former years, according to a recent report by the U. S. Census Bureau. In the period of just one year, from 1963 to 1964, nearly one person out of every five in the United States moved to a new address. The tendency of Livingston County residents to move is revealed in another Census Bureau study covering a five-year period, based on data compiled during the last census. It shows that 16,215 of them were living in different houses than they had been living in five y<<ir earlier. Of this number, 7,478 merely changed to o:her locations within the county The other 8,737 wen> newcomers who arrived from other sections to make their homes in Che local area. No figure is given, however, for the number who may have moved away in the period Ttie net result is that 49 out of every 100 people in Livingston County changed their addresses at least once in a period of five years. This proportion, 49 percent, exceeded the mobility rate reported for the nation generally, 47 percent. In the East North Central States, the rate was 46 percent and, in Michigan, 44 percent. The new government data on the restless ^Americans points to some of the social and economic factors behind this restlessness. It finds that much of it occurs among persons between 20 and 24. That is when many young people leave home to find jobs, get married and set up homes of their own Much of the other shifting about is attributed to the dissolution of marriage People who beconv separated, divorced or widowed often move when that happens.

Grand River Awning Windows Make A Porch for All Seasons Selecting the right windows for the right job is half the battle in good porch design. A thoughtfully designed porch—with versatile windows that provide maximum ventilation — lets a homeowner adapt quickly to the weather changes that can disrupt life on the porch. Many homeowners have discovered an awning window of ponderosa pine is ideal for an enclosed porch. The window, which is available in stock sizes, is exceptionally easy to open and close, provides maximum ventilation, keeps out rain and assures year-round comfort. Unlike many window types, awning windows provide 100 percent ventilation. They can also be opened and closed quickly in series simply by turning a rotor handle. Awning windows were the perfect solution for Mr. and Mrs. Dale Hawkins, who built a porch and patio addition to their New Jersey home overlooking a naturally wooded lot. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, who had given up their home at the seashore, greatly missed, having their own porch. When they decided to build a porch on their house, they wanted one that could be used as an extra room all year. The porch was added by breaking through a dining room wall that formerly contained a window. Awning wood window units were installed in all three exterior walls of the porch. The walls were paneled with wood. Ponderosa pine was selected for the windows because the wood is a natural insulating material and provides maximum comfort in winter, when the porch is heated. A patio, leading off the porch, completes the outdoor living project. Patio furniture, a vintage park bench and appropriate landscaping supplied the finishing touches. Now Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins have a porch that doubles as a family room, or as a sitting room when guests drop in. They can now enjoy their home more completely, both outdoors and indoors, and in* BEFORE: Back yard of home offered little protection from sun. niiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiftiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii We Buy - Sell and Trade Homes - We Need Listings. donald henkelman co.

No Need to Cool Food in Advance Many women mistakenly insist on cooling food before putting it into the refrigerator- freezer, even though food keeps best when it is refrigerated promptly. In the days of iceboxes, warm food in the icebox caused the ice to melt more quickly. Later, when electric refrigeration came onto the scene, women still hesitated storing a hot turkey in the refrigerator, in the belief it would steam up the interior of the appliance and cause frost to form. Today, with the advent of no-frost refrigerator-freezers, food specialists advise homem a k e r s t o refrigerate or freeze food, whether warm or cold, right away for maximum freshness and flavor. want to express our thanks and gratification to our wonderful friends and customers for a year of unprecedented success.

Also he was on the side lines all during the j,rame, hob- ; around on his crutch, patthe txiys and ^ivirm them a word of encouragement and confidriiee Well, you .saw what happened, they scored the highest points for any flame all season. Now maybe this wasn't all mil Ford's doings but it is sure worih trying a«ain, nnd again, and a«ain. 'After all it is understandable that the players would lie sparked by Bill Ford's interest Who wouldn't be impressed by one of the ^reat Ford dynasty members, even a Sunday Pro foul ball hero. The bi« point i*. it only takes something like this to make a homogeneuus whole out of an otherwise lot of separate parts. And tins "oneness" is what the Lions have lacked, except in their defensive units and the reason they don't lack it there Ls because Ihe men forming the guts of the defense have played together for almost eight years. They work together, they know how to cover for each other in a play where the offensive unit opposile. ha>s screwed up their defensive signals on a play from scrimmage. It is almost instinctive that each knows v/hut the other will do under a :;JVL:I circumstance. This is team work and real esprit dc corps. The offnisc is not so fortunate. Did you know, though, that l'luiu has bei ti hit behind tInline fewgr times than any other quarterback m the league exicpl Hrody? This speaks well for the offensive bloc king, because you can't .say Plum is a scrambler.

State to Reroute Campus Highway Residents of Brighton and Howell who traveled to Lansing will soon find the road through East Lansing a detour because of the state highway department's proposal to relocate old Grand River through the Michigan State University campus. Cost of the 3.6-mile project is estimated at $5.9 million. The proposed describes construction of a limited-accesa highway north of and parallel to the Grand Trunk Western railroad track from a point on existing M43 one-half mile ea»t of Park Lane Rd. across the University campus to an interchange with the Pine Tree Connector and the future 1496. The project will begin on the east at a new three-lane bridge to be constructed to carry eastbound traffic. The present bridge will be retained to carry westbound traffic. The section of highway from the new bridge to Hagadorn Rd. will be four-lane divided. From Hagadorn Rd. to the Pine Tree Connector the highway will be six-lane divided and will be depressed between diamond interchanges at Bogue St. and Red Cedar Rd. Both Bogue St. and Red Cedar Rd. will be extended through \i)v new interchanges. Farm Lane will cross the free* way on an overpass. The proposed construction is par; of >i highway program to relieve congestion on Grand Kiv.r Ave., which is expected "> •••rr.-i^ 150 percent in the .
