Smith. During his nearly 13 years of administration, Judge Smith has been recognized as one of the outstanding Probate Judges of the State. His years of experience with juvenile problems enabled him to understand boys and girls and their problems were disposed of sympathetically, but firmly, with the result that Livingston County has one of the lowest juventy has one of the lowest juvenile delinquency record in the state. Having practiced law for nearly fifty years, as Prosecuting Attorney for 14 years, as Probate Judge for nearly 13 years, Judge Smith states he is quite happy to be relieved of some of his burdens.

New Year Off To A Flyinq Start "Surging '61" is off to a flying start; many New Years Resolutions have joined the broken Christmas toys and there is very little time for making a last minute prediction. We have no qualms about going out on the proverbial limb when we go on record to say that 1961 will be the biggest year for women in the news. Certainly more tons of copy will be written about them than ever before. W i t h fashionable Jackie Kennedy in the White House, Mamie Eis- Eleanor Roosevelt h a l e a n d happy, Liz Taylor ailing — and happy, Lis Taylor ailing —and more women than ever in history, in Congress and cabinet posts, it should be a great year for the distaff side. And we are not counting Mae Britt, without news of whom we can get along. News of President Kennedy, Khrushchev, and clamity may sometimes even be cut or crowded out for fashion notes or social items.

Mrs. Carolyn K. Simon, Secretary of State of New York, seems to have keynoted the year for women with her recent statement for publication, "There are four things a woman needs to know: how to look like a .girl; act like a lady; think like a man, and work like a dog." • • • We can't help but admire the thoroughness of the journalism staff of a Pontiac high school yearbook who closed their editorial remarks with the following: "In case you find a mistake in this publication, please remember we put it there for someone's benefit. We try to please everyone, and some people are always looking for mistakes." Chronology feating Fowlerville, 1814-1732.

And the mailbox in some cases may be located halfway around the world from Michigan, according to A. John Valois (Ph.D.). supervisor of correspondence study in the U-M Extension Service. Among students whose lessons return with foreign postmarks is a copywriter in Australia who recently enrolled in creative writing, and an English teacher in Ethiopa. now sending in lessons in English literature. A student in Panama recently completely a geography course. Home study courses offered by the U-M naturally attract a great majority of students in Michigan — from every country in the state last year. M a n y out-of-state Americans, including some in Hawaii and Alaska, also enroll each year. More than 1.000 home study courses have been sent to students through the mails since last June — an increase of 28 per cent over the previous year's enrollment for the same period. Dr. Valois reports. He suggests that the old adage. "You're never too old to learn" might be coupled today with a new addition — " T h e University of Michigan is as near as your mailbox." Up to 15 credit hours toward a degree at the University may be earned through correspondence study offered through the Extension Service — even more for members of the armed services.

Consider t h e s e points: Most of the teachers for the Michigan schools are trained in Michigan colleges. The need for more doctors is already pinching. It can easily become so great that existing medical training facilities w i l l full short of handling enough first year students by 1970. Michigan business needs welltrained leaders. Most of them will be educated in colleges and universities within the state. Add to this the nation's critical overall need for more highly trained scientists and engineers and the simple fact that better educated people are needed every day to keep a complex society operating. There is obviously ample reason for concern over higher education. The challenge faces all the people, not just the leaders of state government or educators. Not only do taxpayers finance a major part of the cost of higher education, they also must want to improve educational * facilities before action will b£ taken. It is their attitude on higher education which will be reflected to the Legislature at I the time decisions are made. One indication of evpected growth in higher education came recently when Michigan State University president John A. Hannah addressed a group of newsmen and their wives on the East I.anting campus. After explaining the plight of higher education in general, of which MSU is tvpical. he discussed specifics there. "Our enrollment is increasing faster than s\e had expected.; Though we are becoming more) selective. Michigan State has an | obligation to open it> c l a s s - rooms and laboratories to the qualified youth oi this state." Hannah said. j He predicted enrollment at I MSU would hit .KUMX) In or \KM. !

Nurse Mrs. Marvin Hoard attended her until the doctor arrived. The Pinckney Fire Department brought the resusticator to the church. Mrs. Brujiton was removed to her home by ambulance and at the latest report was resting comfortably. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Shirley left today for Stewart, Florida, to spend the remainder of the winter. Local members of the penoicle club were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Zak, Brighton, last Wednesday. Miss Brenda Hoyt entertained 35 of her friends and classmates at a skating party one evening last week. A pajama party for the young ladies followed. Mrs. Kenneth Hoyt has as a house guest her mother, Mrs. Amy Smith of Marshall and Gordon Hoyt was home from E.M.U. for Christmas vacation.

Airman 2/c Glen Mead who was home on leave before the holidays has arrived safety back at his base in Anchorage, Alaska. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bryan and their house guests, M r s . Margaret MacArthur of Detroit were Friday evening guests at the John Rahrig home. Michigan's participation in federal medical care for the needy aged will get a close look from lawmakers during the .1961 session ot the state Legislature. Michigan was one of the first states to come under the program passed by the "bob-tail" or post - party conventions session of Congress. A special session met in late summer to spell out the qualifications and procedures by which those over 65 years old could come under the program if they wish. Sen. Lloyd A. Stephens. R • Scottvillc. chairman of a joint* committee of both houses appointed to study Medicare said recently at least three changes ttill be recommended to the next Legislature. Expansion of the program was the major point of the committee's proposals. Thev would add nursing home care, skilled home nursing and liberalize the income test which is applied to couples wishing to come under the program. Apparenth there is bi-partisan support tor the changes. State elections officials are taking a long look at the practices o\ local people in charge of \oting. Flections Director Robert M. Montgomery sa\s that each ot Michigan's S3 counties will he scrutinized as soon as experts from his division of the Secretary ot State's office can get to it, they started in Oakland count \. Montgomery says the purpose of the inspections is merel\ to make sure that local OUM ficials know how to comply with \ law> governing elections, a n d that thev are ruining the know-] ledge into use. i Home for New Years Day were Mr. and Mrs. Ona Campbell who enjoyed a long Christmas holiday in Lansing at the Carl Lentz home and from there went to Grand Rapids with the Lentzs' to the home of Mrs. Campbell's brother, Paul Strawhecker and family for a family gathering. Miss Pauline Strawhecker of New York City was there to help her parents with their entertaining. Mr. and Mrs. James Singer have heard that their son, Donald, who is with the army in Germany was a house guest at the home of his sergeant in Bremerhaven on Christmas Day. Conservation Notes January 9 is the target date for the annual winter waterfowl survey in Michigan and other Mississippi Flyway states which will begin fact finding work for the M961 hunting season. Men from the Conservation Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will cooperate in an inventory of Michigan's wintering waterfowl populations on that day, weather permitting, to measure parent brood stock which came through the I960 season. Identical surveys will be made at the same time in all other Mississippi Flyway states to eliminate duplication in population counts which bird movements could cause. — # — Parents should add another entry to their list of New Year resolutions if they gave their youngsters firearms this Christmas, Conservation Department officials advise. Now is the time for Mom and Dad to resolve that their young hunters-to-be will get off to the right start with their new shotguns or rifles by enrolling them in Michigan's voluntary hunter safety training program. Designed to promote safer hunting, a general understanding of conservation concepts. and respect for the out-of-doors, training covers the whys and wherefores of hunting regulations, factors causing accidents, proper handling of firearms and ammunition, plus survival and ethics afield. The program's training tempo was slowed down by the holiday season but will get buck into full gear in the coming weeks. Hunter safety classes are ottered throughout the state. A number of schools have adopted the program's tour-hour training course as part ot their curricula tor students in* the 12 to 17 age bracket. Outside ot school classes, some 730 volunteer instructors are teaching hunter safety in their communities. Law enforcement is generally regarded as a serious and sometimes frustrating job, but every once in a while the ball bounces the other way. It did during the 1960 deer season.

Back in Aug* ust, 1955, he arrested a n o n - resident for night hunting and issued a summons for his arraignment. The man failed to keep his appointment with t h e justice of the peace. While on patrol this fall, officer Vanderstar chanced upon the same chap in Mackinac county. The officer's memory served him well and he had the violator arraigned on his fiveyear- old charge. This time, Vanderstar's efforts paid off, in a fine and court costs. Two other hunters produced a humorous twist when they couldn't leave well enough alone. DEDICATION CEREMONIES Official dedication ceremonies for the recently renovated sanctuary of the Community Congregational Church will be ht\d on February 19th. Dr. Samuel N. Oliver, Interim Supt., Michigan Congregational Conference will be the guest speaker. Although they didn't know it at the time, the hunters* troubles hadn't really started until they complained to Sergeant Mario Formolo of the Newberry state police post that someone had stolen their bear. They then proceeded on their way home. Shortly afterwards, Sgt. Formolo located the bear at a camp not far from where the complainants had stayed. He notified troopers at the St. Ignace post who stopped the miffed homebound hunters and relayed his message. While the two were driving back to Newberry to reclaim their "quarry,*' Sgt. Formolo learned from questioning that the bear had been shot the day before the season opened. One of the returning complainants was arrested and pleaded guilty to killing t h e bear out of season. He paid a fine and court costs and headed home with his companion — minus the bear.

It must be fed fresh coffee of the right grind, measured to suit the family's taste. Cold water goes into the clean pot, and the brew is made according to the manufacturer's directions. Georgianne Baker, h o m e management specialist at Michigan State University, says a clean pot really does make a difference in coffee flavor, and it takes more than a quick rinse to clean it. A thorough washing with detergent and water will remove stale coffee oils from the pot, spout and other parts of the appliance. Miss Baker warns against the scouring of the inside of the pot. This might eventually remove the inside plating. When rancid coffee flavors and odors accumulate, percolate one tablespoon of baking soda or cream of tartar in the pot — unless it is aluminum. For aluminum pots, use vinegar and water. A commercial stain r e m o v e r should be used only when recommended by the manufacturer. In any cleaning operation, the electric heating unit should be kept dry. When the coffee maker is not in use. leave it in the open air. THE PINCKNEY SANITARIUM Ray M.

YOUTH PEACE CORPS PLAN DISCUSSED On Thursday, January 5, the civics classes had a discussion on president-elect Kennedy's proposal of a "Youth P e a c e Corps" plan. A few comments follow: Gary Lee: Yes, I think that the plan Mr. Kennedy has proposed will work, and I am all for it. Beth Minock: Yes, I think American youth is capable and intelligent enough to handle this job. Duane Knapp: No, I think we are smart enough for the job, but I don't think we would use our smartness in the right way. Del Fritz: No, because I think older people can do the job better; I think that older people can get down to business better than the young people. Donnie McMichael: Yes, if this plan is tried out and succeeds, it will help the people of the world to understand each other better. Gary Hall: No, it is my guess that our youths would make mistakes as they do back in the U.S.A. Only here, in an entirely new country, under heavier pressure, they are apt to make larger mistakes than ever before. And, as representatives of our United States, the mistakes would be counted as blows against our own country. Nancy Ritter: I say yes for American youth. (Note' a "youth" in this case means a person between the ages of 18 and 35.) STUDENT COUNCIL The meeting was called to order on Jan. 4, 1961. The minutes were read and approved.

Dear Judy: I wish to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciated your thoughtfulness in writing, and I regret that the demands of election campaigning did not permit me to do so even earlier. I share the pride your parents must have in your expression of interest in the government and its officials. As I have often said, it is always reassuring to a person in public life to see young people so concerned with local, national, and international afairs. My wish is that you will continue this interest, for, in this way, you are acquiring the knowledge and understanding so necessary in preparing for the responsibilities and obligations of good government, voting and citizenship. In view of your kindness in writing, I want you to have the enclosures as a remembrance of the 1960 presidential campaign. With every good wish, Sincerely, Richard Nixon (Judy had written a letter to the vice president expressing her political views after a discussion of campaign issues in civics class earlier in the year.)

SEMESTER EXAMS The high school teachers a r e very busy at the present time preparing semester exams. Arixiety is beginning to run high among the students. BIOLOGY CLASSES All biology students have completed and handed in their conservation units. These units, and the semester exams, w i l l count heavily on the first semester markings. FUTURE NURSES' TRIP On Thursday, December 22, Mrs. Dtnkel and Miss DeBarr took a group of Future Nurses to Howell. First stop was at the old people's home; here the girls sang Christmas carols for the patients. Many of the patients showed their appreciation by joining in the singing. Next point of interest was the McPherson Hospital. Here the girls were allowed to see t h e wards, the nursery, the delivery room, the operating rooms, and even the morgue. The group enjoyed the trip Notes very much, and they would like) to extend their thanks to everyone who made it possible, with an especial "thank you" to Mrs. Stackable, who helped with the planning. MICHIGAN MIRROR G. Mennen Williams has a' habit to deal with if he wants to do well in his new job as Assistant Secretary of State f o r African Affairs in the administration of John F. Kennedy. Put simply, Williams m u s t change the habit of speaking his mind in public on whatever issue he wishes or any question that is put before him. For 12 years, Williams h a s been the public leader of t h e Democratic party in Michigan. As such, he had to answer primarily to himself for a n y view he might express on any issue. In short, Williams was the chief policy maker of the particular organization which he represented and as such was a leader to be followed. In Washington, it is a different story. As a member of the Kennedy "team," Williams must be extremely cautious not to embarrass or offend the administration. His job, though it may truly deal with more important questions than he faced in Michigan and be of greater significance from the standpoint of world governmental affairs, isl nevertheless that of an underling. That Williams recognizes the difficulty of his new role is certain. H e has admitted he will miss the "individual eminence" which he had as governor. As he made, the transition, Williams said he "can't say very much now becouse now I don't speak until I hear the leader speak." NEIGHBORING NOTES Albert Cheney, 88, of Fowlerville, passed away at St. Lawrence hospital, Lansing, on January 3. Funeral services were* held in Fowlerville on Friday. Interment was in Greenwood cemetery. Final reports of the chest xrays taken at the mobile u n i t white it was in Livingston County show that a total of 4014 persons availed themselves of this health service. Each person who had an X-ray taken should have, by now, received a report of that film.

Beautiftcation of the mill pood area is on the agenda of the Brighton City projects for 1961, according to City Manager Robert Buechncr. Conservation officers are warning residents of this area that the deer killed or wounded in traffic accidents must not be moved from the spot while officers are being notified. If the animals are moved or taken away, the persons responsible for the action are liable for prosecution for having deer, or venison, in their possession out of season. The Dexter Methodist church is completing plans for a n e w Christian Education building to be built this year. The Chelsea Bulldogs won their own second annual holiday basketball tournament last Friday before nearly 2,000 fans, when they downed the Dexter Dreadnaughts, 69-56. Jack W. Hoffman, who f o r the past two years served as editor of the Northville Record and the Novi News, has been named managing editor of the S o u t h Lyon Herald and Whitmore Lake papers by the new owner, BUI Stiger. A four alarm fire last W e d - nesday morning at the Country Estates trailer court, South Lyon, caused an estimated $50,000 in damages to the building and the equipment of the court's laundry room and water pumping apparatus. In answering the alarm Northville's new pump truckJ overturned on a curve when it skidded on ice on Pontiac Trail. No one was injured. The students of the h i g h school wish to thank Phil Gentile and the other civic-minded men who have worked to keep) the pond flooded and in g o o d condition for skating. The pond offers hours of wholesome r e - creation for everyone, young or "a little older." The adjustment is, of course, one which many people h a v e made before Williams. But Williams served as chieftain for much longer than most who leave to become indians in the war party of another. He also held a special position among Democrats and was even instrumental in helping his new boss get elected President. Still, there is no doubt that the habit of 12 years will be hard to break, even for a man of Williams1 intellectual ability. * • * Dignified Otis M. Smith, the Michigan Auditor General and the first Negro to be elected to statewide office, takes himself and his job seriously. Above all, he believes in his own real ability to do the job to which he was elected. Smith is proud to-be the first of his race to attain such a high position, but he is also cognizant of the fact that it was ability and not inheritance that brought him a position of leadership. He also seems to feel deeply the gratitude and humility toward the people who elected him that some politicians might sham. Smith compiled a distinguished record as an attorney, and as chairman of the Public Service Commission before Gov. G. Mennen Williams appointed him Auditor General to fill the vacancy created when Frank Szymanski left to take a Wayne County judgeship. Smith's election apparently came, not because of the fact that he is a negro, nor in spite of it, but because voters felt he had demonstrated that he could do the job. • * • "Yellow Jaundice'1, the liverdamaging ailment which is really infectious hepatitis under another name, hit a peak in Michigan during 1960. LEO EWERS EXCAVATING, GftADING, BULLDOZING, DRAG LINE Phone AL 6-2363 or UP 8-3143 (Phil Geotile) 2165 KAISER ROAD GREGORY, MICHIGAN FUTURE HOMEMAKERS ASSOCIATION The F.H.A. girls had a Christmas project in which they sent place mats, apple Sant-a Claua favors and Christmas cookies to the T.B. Sanitarium in Howell. They also went Christmas caroling on December 19, to the shut-ins in Pinekney. Afterwards, they came back to the Home Ec. Room and had sandwiches, cocoa, and doughnuts. State health department officials said the disease should decrease slightly in 1961, if it runs true to its pattern of reaching a peak about every six or seven years. The more than 2,000 cases of the disease reported in the state last year came close to doubling the previous record, set in 1954. Michigan mirrored a national increase in the disease during 1960. Sanitation breakdowns in certain communities during an unusually wet spring season were largely to blame for the jump, officials said. - Infectious hepatitis spreads through the intestinal-oral route, the doctors said. Best protection against t h e disease is a high degree of personal cleanliness, with frequent hand washings a necessity. Winter and spring, when family members are in frequent close contact, are the peak times for outbreaks. Specializing in Fin* CABINETS Wf IUILD COMMIT!

Beverly saw some squir 'Crazy' Loon Full of Tricks The loon may be crazy, but he's learned to dive like a submarine and "fly" underwater, says George Hunt, (Ph.D.) University of Michigan assistant professor of wildlife management. "These birds of the o p e n water escape their enemies by diving into fairly deep water," Hunt explains. "They use both wings and feet in swimming— actually you could say they fly under water. They've b e e n caught in fish nets as deep as 240 feet. 'More than that, the loon is able to sink straight down into the water like a submarine," Hunt adds. "He accomplishes this by holding his feathers tight against the body and squeezing out the air that might be captured in the feathers, making his body heavier. When the loon wants to emerge from the deep water he can rise straight upward — again like a submarine. How this is accomplished I do not know." Hunt confesses. Courting loons are sometimes seen running along side by side on the top of the water. The loon is about three feet long and weighs from eight to ten pounds. Its head is iridescent black, neck and shoulders are checkered black and white and the under parts are white. In winter the upper parts are gray. The long black bill is conical in shape and tapers to a point. These heavy, compactixxlied birds have a wingspread of four to five feet. In flight they appear *to be pointed at both ends. "The loon is still fairly common here in Michigan and is found nesting in the north half of the Lower Peninsula and in all of the Upper Peninsula. You see occasional pairs nesting in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula." Hunt says. The loon is monogamous, at least for a breeding season, he rer tracks. Denise saw bird tracks and Denise Me saw deer tracks. George Marshall caught a little mouse in school. It had come in from the cold to get warm. We gave it to another room to keep. * • * FIFTTH GRADE— Mrs. Miller We have begun new phonics lessons — we looked for initial medial and final "b" words in the newspaper. We are making Phonics Books. Fractions are new, we're having fun learning about them. Our Michigan Units are being reported and we're learning a great deal about our state. We are working on individual states doing another unit — for we did not follow our outline nor organize our material. We'll do better next time. We are going to have a class meeting to get new committees for our classroom jobs. Spelling Bee Winners: Susan Baughn, Penny Reynolds, Linda Zezulka, Sandra Saiyer, Deane Halliburton, Marjorie Quesenberry, Roddy Widmayer, Bob Wylie — after Christmas holidays with no preparation — very well done. Douglas is absent with a tonsilectomy — Hurry back, we miss you. adds. The birds become mature at two or three years of age and start to nest. 'The loon is highly territorial," says Hunt. "On a lake of 100 acres in size you will only find one pair. They frighten off others of the same species. Not tolerating much disturbance from mankind, they like to have cover around the water areas. This is a big factor in their decrease in southern Michigan." BEWARE OF THE CHAIN THAT BINDS — By PAUL L. ADAMS State Attorney General The "chain referral plan" chains more people to a contract they can HI afford to pay than almost any other con-man device. This gimmick is used by doorto- door salesmen, selling vacuum cleaners, carpeting, siding, r e - cording machines and many other articles. These fast talkers would have you believe that you purchase for free because of the bonus you will receive for each prospect you recommend. You can't win on this deal: First, because there are only so many people in the community who need the product being sold. The salesman makes the same pitch to each person he sells to. It doesn't take long to clean out all the prospects. You end up paying the top price for whatever you have purchased. Second, even if you do furnish some prospects, the price for the product is usually so much higher than the normal one that the seller can afford to give you a part of the purchase price back and still make a big profit. If vou doubt this statement, take time to check what a similar item would cost at a local store. J No matter what a salesman tells you. you will NOT get something for nothing. Your best bet is to patronize local reputable merchants. They wilt be in business long after the gimmick hoys arc gone. Chronology (Continued from Page One) for employment for many in near future.

It was a great Friday for us and who dares to say that "Christ has been taken out of Christmas?" Finally I wish to thank t h e County Press, where was completed a career of about 70 years as a practical printer by the undersigned, for the space for this statement other than the waste paper basket. Thank you —See You Next Christmas. Dad Burt Wednesday, January 11, 1961 IITNIl iAPTIIT CHUICN 4040 Sward** *—4 HOWIU, MICHIOAN Rate* M.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH Wednesday, January 11, 1961 FINAL DATE FOR GRAIN PRICE SUPPORT APPROACHING Farmers expecting to apply for price support loans on their 1960 crops wheat, oats, barley, rye, dry edible beans, soybeans, ilax&eed or grain sorghums should do so by January 15, according to Jacob Bontekoe, the Chairman of the Livingston ASC County Committee. The final date for approval of loans and purchase agreements is January 31, 1961, however, in the case of farm-stored loans a minimum of two weeks is required for inspection of storage structures and 4he grain by loan inspectors and trie obtaining of a sample of the grain to be forwarded to a grain laboratory before the loan documents can be completed. If the storage structure and the grain are found to be acceptable, t h e producer will be given an opportunity to complete the loan. The loan and chattel mortgage must be signed and on file in the county ASC office by January 31, 1961. Price support may be obtained by the producers of t h e above commodities through purchase agreements by applying to the county ASC office or on before January 31, 1961. Purchase agreements differ from loans in that the producer receives no funds unless he delivers the commodity to CCC after the maturity date for the loan program. These maturity dates vary, depending on the crop, from one to four months after the final availability date of January 31, 1961.

Adams State Attorney General There's a song in every heart! Most of us feel that we could write a hit song. All we need is the market. Many advertisements currently running in various publications, offer to take lyrics composed by amateur composers, set them to music and sell them. The would-be composer is assured that the world has great need for his lyrics, and that if he will send in a payment to cover the costs of finding a suitable melody and getting it to market, he will reap much profit. Take care, friends, lest the song turn to discord! Investigation by my office shows that of the many who send in their lyrics and their payments most never hear of a sale being made. If they hear from the musician at all. it is a request for' more monev.

Lynwood Thomas Schoolboy1 Rowe died Sunday at his El Dorado, Arkansas, home following a heart attack. He would have been 51 today. Rowe was a scout for the Detroit Tigers at the time of his death. A myriad of Tiger fans will recall this veteran right-handed pitcher in action during the 193O*s. In 1934 he tied for the American League record for the most consecutive games won— 16—in one season. His 15 seasons with the major leagues gave him a all-star game in 1936 and three World Series, 1934, '35- '40.He will best be remembered in this area for his greatest year, 1934, with the pennant winning Tigers when he won 24 games and lost only eight. In each of the next two seasons he won nineteen games. - It was during.that summer of 1934 that his "How'm ah doin\ Edna?" gained him almost as much fame as his pitching. He drawled the line at the close of a radio interview, intending it for the ears of his sweetheart Edna Mary Skinner, back in El Dorado. Their marriage plans. Edna had told the press, would have IO wait until "Lynwood won the series.** He did. Mrs. /Rowe and a son. Lynwood T., and a daughter survive.

But while quilting was a long and often tedious process for pioneer women, it's much easier for todays homemakers. Highquality fabrics, glazed cotton quilt battings, and automatic sewing machines make it possible for even beginners to create lovely quilts. PINCKNEY DISPATCH Wednesday, January 11, 1961 99 99 Ike", "Jack Not Proper, EDITORIAL COMMENT Where else in this world, but America, can citizens call their leader by an informal nickname, in speech and print, without bringing the wrath of state upon their heads? Just because it is permissible does not lend dignity to such a practice. Calling the Chief Executive Ike or Jack or ex-president Truman "old boy" is sadly lacking in courtesy. President-elect John Kennedy would no doubt, prefer to be called by his full name instead of Jack — in print. The p r e s s should certainly attempt to respect this practice. History and Civics teachers may stress the proper names but the press influences young readers, too. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Simpson of Portage Lake have returned home following a three • week vacation in Florida. The James Whitley family were dinner guests Sunday at the Leonard Fishers, Huntington Woods. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wilson left Monday for Florida where they plan to spend about three months. Mr, and Mrs. Robert Gove and family of Detroit were Sunday guests at the George V a n Norman home. A linen shower tomorrow evening, at the home of Mrs. Lonnie Van Slamhrook of Gregory, will honor Miss Evelyn H a l l , a bride-to-be. Mrs. Barbara Clark will assist her mother as hostess. APPLE CHEESE HOT BREAD . . . for a Wintertime Meal Here is a hot bread so good you'll be tempted to make a whole meal of it. The bread itself is a good honest loaf, light, close crumbed and tender.

Over that is sprinkled grated cheese, with just enough beaten egg and milk to bind the topping. Last touch . . . poppy seeds. Then into the oven to bake.

The annual sticker costs but $2.00; dafly permits would cost Mm SO snch tune ht and Ms ramOy vUttd a park. The new annual motor vehicle permit is a result of suggestions by state park visitors to help pay for the improvements to s t a t e park% throughout the state. The funds obtained from the sale of the permits*will be used exclusively to acquire much needed land, to build new facilities, such as campsites* beaches, picnic and water sport areas. According to law no funds may be used for maintenance, operation, or personnel.

QIESTIONS * ANSWERS ABOIT BIILTIR ELECTRIC HEAT Electric heat is an advanced and superior concept of home comfort. Here are some of the questions we've been asked about it. WHAT DOIt IT LOOK LIKI1 The most widely used types are illustrated at right. Because electric heat is built in, there is little interference with living space, each room has its own * « « SOttSt* heat source. length. Heating eabU i$ Porctd air unit$ go buried in eeiling in %oaUt or porliplasttr. tion». It IT SAFE1 It's as safe and troublefree as electric light. It IT IXPINSIVI TO INSTALL! ID general, the original cost of an electric heating system is less than that of any other type of quality equipment. Actual installed cost will vary according to type of heating unit used, home size, method of home construction and additional insulation requirements. 6AM I PUT IT IN JUtT ONE N00M1 Yes, and economically, too. Typical examples: when you're adding a new room, finishing an upstairs, closing in a porch or breezeway, or have a hard-to-heat area. CAN 1 PUT IT IN THE WHOLE HOUtEl Yes, you can switch the whole house over to electric heat. In this case, additional insulation will be required, plus storm sash and storm doors all around. For greatest heating economy and summer comfort, regardless of type of heating system, good insulation always pays off. WHAT DOES IT COST TO USE I U 0 T N I 0 HEAT1 Various factors, including family living habits, Affect operating cost, so a hard-and-fast answer Ss impossible. A rough rule of thumb is 254-281 per square foot of heated space, annually. But there's little need to guess. An electric heating contractor can calculate actual first cost ana operating cost quickly and accurately. Electric beat wfll coat more—but probably not as much as you would imagine and you get more benefits! In June 1959, Detroit Edison added a lower step to the raaidantial electric rate. Now, w b n m m thin 760 kflowatttaira of electricity are oaad par month, the amount over 760 cotts U mdk mHatd of 2K*-an U jwwnt reduction. DETROIT EDISON DOES IT NEED MUOH SERVICING I No. There are no moving parts in the electric heating systems discussed here except in the forced air units, where low velocity fans or blowers are used. WHAT MAKES ELECTRIC HEAT BETTER? FLEXIBILITY—Each room has its own thermostat. So each remains at the temperature you choose without affecting other rooms'. SPEED—Heatinz response is faster when the heat source is right in each room—only inches away instead of many feet. EVEN HEAT-There will be very little temperature difference between floor and ceiling. No chilling drafts. CLEANLINESS-Nothing is burned to make smoke, soot or fumes. Result: walls, draperies, furniture and floor coverings stay clean longer. WHENE OAN I SEE ELECTRIC HEAT1 A feature of every Total Electric Gold Medallion Home is its electric heating system. Watch for announcements of Gold Medallion Home openings. WHINE OAN I GET HONE WPONMATIONt There's free literature at your Edison office, or mail the coupon /below. Another source, especially for a cost estimate, is the electric heating contractor who displays this emblem. He's had •pedal training in making accurate estimates.

MICHIGAN I MIRROR I Michigan is caught in the my-1 die of a hassle between g i a n 4 corporations over natural gas. Conceivably, higher bills to individual customers could result from the struggle, though mx move is now underway to obtain permission for a gas rate hike by any party in the dispute. Involved in the fight, which is in the federal courts and before federal and state agencies wjycfe have the power to regulate utili* ties, are Panhandle Easjfrn Pipeline Co., a supplies of na tural gas, and American Natural] Gas Co. The latter's subsidiary, Michigan Consolidated Gas Co.. is well known to southeastern Michigan residents and to people in other areas as well. The extremely complex questions at issue between the jwo systems include how much. < if any. gas Panhandle should sell to the Michigan utility. The profit motive is, of course at work. But to say that either s i d e lacks conviction that its position is ultimately the one which enable the best and cheapest service to both the homeowner and the huge industrial user would be unfair. The Federal Power Commission and the Michigan Public Service Commission are governmental agencies set up to regulate utilities because questions of the public good are inherent in their-operations. Protecting the consumer and making sure the utilities receive a fair price for their service are part of the duties of the FPC and MPSC. Appeal from the decisions of the regulatory agencies can be made to the courts is a company coming under them thinks a decision shoutd be modified. That happened in the Panhandle- American Natural case. The struggle over natural gas is an example of how everyday business activity affects each individual consumer. Corporations of a quasi-public nature, such as the utilities, must carry on their high-level maneuvering and business agreements and disagreements under the public eye. Purely commercial firms can cloak their competitive rows in secrecy under the heading, "private business matters.*1 ' Ultimately, however, the cost of these maneuvers come home to roost on the consumer's pockelbook. And that includes t h e cost of long lawsuits and repeated appearances before regulatory agencies. „ Why should a pedestrian walking along a highway use the left side of the road; walk facing the oncoming traffic? A reasonable and correct answer is that it's safer that way. Drivers can see the pedestrian better when he is facing them. The pedestrian can also dodge out of the way better should a driver fait to see him and come dangerously close. But it's also against the law to walk on the right side unless it's impossible to keep on the left. Attorney General Paul L. Adams recently answered a citizen's query on the point, a n d probably cleared up the question for many others who though they always walked on the left side, weren't quite sure why. Anyway. Adams cleared t h e points up for once and all: Not only is it good practice to walk on the left, it's mandatory under the law. For those w h o want to see for themselves what the law says. Adams refers them to the Michigan Vehicle Code, Section 655. The National Pickle Packers association, whose product is a much-maligned by epithets, gags and nursery rhymes, have come up with a public service program worthy of mention. And Michigan can take pride —and perhaps a little chuckle— because it is part of the program. Gov. John B. Swainson h a s been authorized to display on his desk the little green pickle flag of traffic safety. It was authorized b e c a u s e Michigan citizens cooperated with law enforcement agencies over the recent holidays to the extent that provisional figures show 37 traffic deaths over the Christmas and New Year's weekends compared with 54 for the same holiday last year. The National Pickle Packers Association said that it wanted to show "in a small way" i t s appreciation for the safe record. The award, which the Pickle Packers hope will help dramatize the need for traffic safety, may be a small thing. But it is praise-worthy that an organization of commercial firms is taking an active part in the too ofneglected fight against death and disabling injury on highways. The little green pickle flag is moire than just an award f o r two weekends of relatively safe driving. It is a symbol of public spiritedness and the need for all citizens, groups and firms to join in helping to curb the ever-mounting toll largely attributable to the unsafe driver.

'The winter constellations center around Orion with his two Hunting Dogs and the H a r e (Lepus) below him," explains Hazel M. Losh, University of Michigan associate professor of astronomy. "Those who devised the starfigures evidently intended to depict a hunting scene with t h e Dogs pursuing the Hare, and it in turn crouching low below Orion, seeking his protection. The stars of Lepas are faint, and rather fit the figure, for the hare is a timid creature by nature," Professor Losh points out. "Orion with his share of brilliant stars has in his right hand a club raised high, threatening to strike the Bull (Taurus), that is charging down upon him," the U-M astronomer goes on, "It is said that the Giant Hunter delighted in hunting hares, and this one was placed near him in the sky, but he appears to be too much interested in defending himself from the charge of the Bull to pay attention to such small game as a hare. "One of the constellations coming up in the east that is not an easy one to locate is Cancer (The Crab). The faint stars of this group form an inverted or upside down letter 'Y\ Near the junction point of the upright and the branching lines that form this inverted kY' is a dim nebulous looking star cluster, popularly referred to as the 'Beehive*. 'This cluster is interesting historically in connection with the observations of Galileo. For ages it had attracted attention, b u t being so faint and misty t h e r e was no way of knowing before the telescope its true character. "One of the first objects examined by Galileo through the telescope was this faint patch in Cancer. He found that it was neither a single star nor a nebula but a cluster of stars. In ancient times, it was regarded as a barometer or weather guide," Professor Losh concludes.

THE BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL CORNER AN INTERVIEW WITH COACH GIBSON During the Thursday, January 12, victorious Freshman basketball game the boys, by team effort made the score 31 to 29. Among the following players no one boy was an outstanding star. The players were: Don La- Belle, Gary and Larry Hull, Tim Clark, Jim Wicker, Dwaine Knapp, La Verne Hunt and Ben Scgura. During the interview with Mr. Gibson he said, "I would like to give a great deal of praise not only to the starters but particularly to those boys who have not had an opportunity to play. A team is only as good as its bench. I feel that many of the boys on the bench are only a step away from the starting rows. However, I have hesitated to give them a chance under first bee of the fact that our games have been so very close. It takes a great deal of courage to come out for practice four nights a week, when one does not get to play. I am hoping that t h e score in future games will give me a chance to play all of the boys on the bench. Two boys who have shown particular improvement are Care Sowers and Danny Doyle. The team will play Howell on Monday, and Saline on Thursday. We would appreciate a good crowd in the stands. It is always nice to play before a large crowd of home-folk."

EDITORIAL COMMENT A SOLEMN MOMENT History, like never before, will be made shortly after noon on Friday of this week. Before a vast crowd of patriotic it cut citizens a young man will step up onto a platform on Ac east side of the Capitol and repeat an historic oath that will make him thc3<* th President of the United States . . . the youngest man ever to be e l e c t e d President... the leader of 180 million people. This job he sought and this honor he won on his own merit The eyes of the entire world will be focused on Washington D.C. when John Fitzgerald Kennedy speaks the mere 35 words that will bring him four yean of endless responsibility, some honors, some heartaches, and happiness and more responsibility. "I do solemnly swear," he will say, "that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my abiliy, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.11 Let no one forget that this is one of democracy's most solemn moments. May God give President John F. Kennedy the wisdom and the strength to fulfill his share of the pledge and to us, the American People, the understanding and the loyalty to stand faithfully beside our Chief Executive all the way. "YOUR SECOND JOB* All the news out of Africa is not bad. One of the finest citizens of the world lives there and a few days ago he quietly took time out from his many daily tasks to celebrate his 86th birthday. Modestly he read the many congratulatory messages from all parts of the world, then returned to his work of administering to humanity in his jungle hospitaf. He is Dr. Albert Schweitzer of Lambarene, Gabon. Every deed, every word, Dr. Schweitzer has uttered probably holds a source of inspiration for someone. Years ago in an interview with the late Fulton Oursler he gave this challenge; it bears repeating: Often people say, "I would like to do some good in the world. But with so many responsibilities at home and in business, my nose is always to the grindstone. I am sunk in my own petty affairs, and there is no chance for my life to mean anything." "This is a common and dangerous error. In helpfulness to others every man can find on his own doorstep adventures for the soul. . . our surest source of true peace and lifelong satisfaction. To know this happiness, one does not have to neglect duties or do spectacular things. This career for the spirit I call **your second job.** In this job there is no pay except the privilege of doing it** Mrs. Earl Baughn, Mrs. Win Baughn and Barbara took Don Baughn back to Olivet College on Sunday following his week end visit here.

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

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

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

And the state's fiscal picture ould be classed as a kingsized hangover from the year-long ash Crisis of 1959. E v e n with an estimated $120 million in additional revenue coming in from penny hikes in the sales and use taxes, income and expenditures are expected to be uncomfortably near the same size during the 1961-61 fiscal year which starts next July 1. Money problems for the State of Michigan are not unlike those faced by the average homeowner. Wage earners must divide their paychecks in such a way that they can meet current bills, pay off the mortgage or other outstanding debts and plan ahead for future expenses. So it is with Michigan, except that state officials m u s t deal wjih millions and billions of dorfars instead of hundreds or perhaps thousands. When anybody's budget gets out of whack, he has to t a k e steps to correct the situation. The legacy of 1959 was a $64 million deficit at the end of the 1959-60 fiscal year. Due to the increases in the sales and use taxes, Michigan is expected to have at least some money to apply on the deficit at the end of the 1960-61 fiscal year next June. Latest estimates, however, indicate there will still be some $60 million in outstanding bills. Besides, increasing expenditures for state services and hiking the pay of most state workers, Michigan is expected to try and start whittling away at the accumulated deficit. An unanticipated stumbling block could arise in the early months of 1961 to throw the whole revenue picture of out focus. Unemployment problems apparently are on us. Michigan's durable goods economy (automobiles and the like) is always especially hard hit by the phenomena labeled "recession" or "economic slowdown" or any of a dozen other names. People who don't work don't pay taxes. On top of that, thousands of them turn to the state for money to keep going through unemployment compensation programs. Local welfare agencies also depend on the state for part of their operating funds. Readers of Company publications want the economic facts of life. So says Harry R. Hall, executive vice president of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. Hall says baby pictures, stories about picnics or other office happenings and coffee-break gossip are all right in employee publications. But the "bread and butter" issues of wages, cost of living and so forth need not be ignored in a magazine or paper put out by a business concern. In fact, Hall told editors of such publications, entertainment is not necessarily the chief purpose for them. Too many workers, from the executive level on down, j u s t aren't aware of just how t h e wages or salaries paid them fit into the overall picture of t h e economy of the company, the city or other municipality where they are located, the state and the nation. There is. of course, a direct link between what each individual makes and the financial operations of the federal govern- NEIGHBORING NOTES A Fowlerviile couple, M r . and Mrs. Arwin Killinger, enroute to visit their son in Fort Dodge, Iowa, were aboard the Illinois Central train that was saved from possible derailment and a tradegy by a bakery driver who stopped the train at 2 a.m. last Friday near Dyersville in time to prevent the accident. The bakery truck driver saw a truck loaded with crane equipment strike and damage an underpass and remembering that a train would 'soon be due to pass over it, rushed to warn the engineer. He drove about a mile along the tracks to meet and stop the train. The Fowlerville chapter of Kings Daughters and S o n s , meeting at the home of M r s . McClure Hunchey, last week marked the 75th anniversary of that organization. The 1961 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow for Dexter High school is Sue Besenick.

The date for the hike is January 28, 1961. The time for the hike is. be at the Elementary School at 9:00 o'clock, and be back at 5:00 or 6:00 o'clock in the evening. On the hike we are going to have every Scout pass at least one test, suggestions: firebuilding, cooking, etc. LIBRARY NEWS The boys and girls who took part in the contest to name Misty's colt will be interested to know that the judges have chosen the name "Phantom Wings" for him. honoring both sides of his family: "Wings" for his father and "Phantom" for his material grandmother. "Chinca" the name submitted by the Pinckney Community Library was a runner up. New books this week, for adults, include Peaceable Lane by Wheeler and Decision at Delphi by Maclnnes. ment. It's long and serpentine, but it's there. What Hall says is that Citizenship is more than just voting or reading the newspaper. And company publications ought to try and tell their readers just how they fit into the scheme of economic lift. Also, he says such things as company policy ought to be explored in detail. A Highway Fiscal study has been proposed by the Michigan Good Roads Federation. Idea of the fiscal study is to take a close look at the money spent on roads: Where it comes from and where and how it is paid out. The Federation said the study would be similar to. but in more detail than, the fiscal study cooducted in 1955 which concentrated chiefly on road revenues. When all the facts on financing are in, it will be easier to determine what the needs and deficiencies are, and how best to meet them, the Federation said. A study on the needs and deficiencies is underway, t h e group said, but the fiscal information would give a complete picture. One heartening note for the road builders: Secretary of State James M. Hare said sales of license tabs for 1961 are running jnore brisklev than ever in the early weeks of the year. | Homemaker of Tomorrow contest to be held in March.

Business Address: Howell, Michigan April 12 FASHION SHOW AT &ISU Flower* and fashions get together during Farmers' Week at Michigan State University next month to blend into a "Promenade in Color." Flowers, arranged hy the MSU floriculture forum, will provide background for the dress revue in the University Auditorium on Thursday, Feb. 2. Farmers' Week visitors traditionally pack the auditorium on Thursday afternoon, and the 1961 program should meet all expectations. There is a shift in emphasis which should interest h o m c - makers. The models will not be college coeds recruited from the MSU campus. They will be women from various sections of the state, modeling costumes of their own creation. "Promenade in Color" will be narrated by Miss Mary Morgan, fashion and beauty editor of CKI.W radio. The program will show what can be achieved when a woman, a fashionable pattern and beautiful fabric get together at the sewing machine. Extension women from Livingston county will be modelling their dresses or suits in this fashion show. Spring Fashion Thoughts of spring can be cheerful thoughts when c o l d winter winds blow. As 1%1 opens, the ladies may like to think about spring fashions. Hernetts Kahabka, clothing specialist at Michigan State University, summaries the" "news" as averblouses. bias-cut garments, canes, culottes, sleevelcssness. woven stretch goods, douhlc-knil fabrics, the "costume" look and important hats. The Cape Look t Capes arc strong for spring, and their influence appears in full coat designs with deep armhole cuts, dolman and s h o r t loose sleeves. The "cane look" also marks collarless, easy-line suits.

According to our best information, this famous phrase originated in Chi on go, way back in 1№>5.

He praised ths President's skill in answering questions and political adroitness evident in his cabinet appointments and in his first news conference "but if he makes a mistake in an interview his comments go around the world in 15 or 20 minutes and a late correction n e v e r catches up with the original comment." The crack Latin-American correspondent Jules Dubois, speaking Saturday night called upon newspapers to help improve our relations with countries south of the border. "Our relations with L a t i n America are perhaps the most challenging of all our problems" he stated. He pointed out that the theft of communications, business, industries and agriculture in Cuba by Castro and the attempted mass brainwashing of the p e o - ple constitutes "the most complete confiscatory plunder in the contemporary history of Latin America, and follows the party line laid down by Mikoyan ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Howell of Pinckney announce the engagement of their daughter, Carol Ann, to Edsel R.

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

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

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

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

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

We learn a poem about the snow man. Also we can sing "Frosty, The Snow Man." We have new Arithmetic Books. • * • FIFTH GRADE Mrs, Rene Miller Top Honors in report cards went to Penny Reynolds and Roddy Widmayer, Susan Baughn and Bob Patter, second.

FIFTH & SIXTH GRADES Mrs. Cool A new addition to our room is a lovely picture of the President of the United States. Interesting sunrises and sunsets have brought about s o m e very good crayon pictures. As we all agreed, the magician was very good. It is our turn to make the display case, it will show earlier president, wives, and homes. We were interested in hearing the inaugural address in our room and some of us saw parts of it at home. Units on cotton, tobacco, rice are in the beginning stages. Knights, armor and castles arc being drawn by 6th graders We sincerely miss Mrs. Cool, and we all join in wishing her a speedy recovery. • * * THIRD GRADE NEWS In winners of last week's spelldown were Bruce Halliburton and Tim Stauffer.

We enjoyed a magic show Friday. • • • KINDERGARTEN Mrs. Parks We have new safety posters and we are making a list of safety rules. Most of our people are beginning to lose their teeth. Some have lost as many as 3 already. We are learning some of the things that animals, plants, birds, frogs, ets. do in the Winter. The book "Winter is Here1' is helping us. Green and yellow have been added to our jars of colors on the window ledge. We learned 2 new songs last week. Conservation Notes "If I buy an anual s t a t e park windshield permit, do I still have to pay 50 cents every time I come to the park? If I change cars during the year, can I remove the permit and put it on my new car?" These are two of the many questions that Michigan's parks permit requirement has raised during its first month. The answer to the questions above it "no." Parks users need either a $2 annual or a 50-cent daily permit, not both. However, if a family owns two cars and has a permit on one, it must buy an annual or daily permit to enter parks with the other. Permits are not transferable from one car to another. Here are other questions which parks managers are being asked. "You mean I even have to have a permit in the wintertime?" Yes, the permit requirement went into effect January 1 at 55 of 62 state parks. Parks men are issuing violation notices to visitors who don't have permits on their cars. Persons receiving these notices either have a five-day "grace" period to buy annual permits or must purchase a daily permit before leaving parks. Actually, it will pay those who plan to swim, picnic, and camp at parks this summer to buy their annual permit now so they can Legal Notices STATI Or MICHIGAN The Probate Court for the of Livingston.

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

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

White, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hollis G. White, of E. M-36, was recently awarded the American Spirit Honor Medal at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The American Spirit H o n o r Medal is an award to a military trainee who, while undergoing basic training, displays outstanding qualities of leadership best expressing the American Spirit —honor, initiative, loyalty, and high example to comrades in Arms. Airman White, a 1958 graduate of Ptnckney High School, attended the University of Toledo for one year before entering the Air Force. While as Lackland he has been assigned in the basic medical course of t h e 3275th Technical School. The award was presented to Airman White at graduation ceremonies by Major James L. Bethurum of the 3275th Technical School. Airman White will attend the Medical Material Specialist Course at Gunter Air Force Base, Alabama, upon leaving Lackland. HERBERT DAVIS Herbert "Bert" Davis, 79, of Howdl died at McPherson hospital Sunday. Mr. Davis, wellknow in this area, is survived by his wife, Minnie, and one sister, Mrs. A. Arnold of Lansing. Funeral services are to be held this afternoon at 1:30 at the Schnackenberg Funeral Home with the Reverend J. W. Winger officiating. Burial will be in forestall such a fate for Pinckney Community Schools area. Symptoms of Hepatitis include loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, fever, muscle pains, abdominal distress, and jaundice or yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. Evidence shows that Hepatitis is spread from person to person through the intestinal route, as in typhoid fever. It is believed to be water borne, food borne, and possibly milk borne. Prevention can best be accomplished by a high standard of personal cleanliness and com* munity sanitation. Children should be taught to wash their hands thoroughly after going to the toilet. Safe sewage disposal is essential, preferable by means of a public sewer or a septic tank in good operating condition. A safe water supply is also necessary. Strict habits of cleanliness are to be upheld by everyone, not just the children. It's so easy to tell the children to keep their hands away fjgpm their mouths, but this goes for mom and dad as weSL Wash (with soap) before eating. Wash (with soap) after each trip to the bathroom. I Wash (with soap) after handling school equipment, students books or clothing other than your own. Just wash (with soap) every time you think of it. Emphasis is made on following your doctor's orders. During the course of the disease, even though the patient feels better, a relapse is likely if he attempts normal activity before he should. Following your doctor's instructions carefully, recovery will be almost always complete. . All children who are ill are ! asked to remain home until they I are well, for their own health and for the health of other students.

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

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

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

Fire Destroys Portage Lake Home Saturday Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the home of the Orin Marlow family at Swarthout's cove Saturday afternoon. Located on Kennedy Drive at Portage Lake, the house was in flames when the fire was first noticed by Ralph Curts and an Ann Arbor couple who were working on a new home nearby. The Pinckney Fire department was called at about 3:30 and worked for nearly three hours to brmf^he flames under -control. One wing of the house, a new addition was saved at that time although the interior was completely ruined by smoke and water. At 6:30 in the evening fire broke out again, in the ruins, and again the fire department worked several hours, this time to save the L.J. Swarthout cottage next tftxrrr This home, vacant for the winter, was slightly scorched by flames in the second outbreak of the fire. The Marlow family lost all its possessions including clothing, furniture and papers and records. No one was home at the time the fire was discovered. Mr. and Mrs. Marlow and son, Steve, were in Dexter where they had gone to the laundromat. Sandy, a daughter was away visiting, and their oldest daughter, Sue, was at work in Ann Arbor. Mr. Marlow stated Monday morning that the loss was partially covered by insurance. The Marlows are staying with friends and relatives for the time being. Oliver D.D., Interim Superintendent of the Michigan Congregational Conference will be the principal speaker. The presentation of the keys will be made by Claude Swarthout, contractor, and will be accepted by E. Lee Goucher, architect. The keys in turn will be given to Charles Ward, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The act of dedication will follow a brief message from the church pastor, Reverend J. W. Winger. The choir will present the anthem "Praise Ye The Name of the Lord." Dr. Oliver is a distinguished speaker, and is frequently heard at college commencement exercises in Michigan as well as at church and lodge assemblies.

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

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

The Juniors are making aVgtudy of early American literature. The sophomores have begun "Julius Caesar." Shirley Mitchell's descriptive sketch was chosen for publica tion in trie Dispatch this week. MY FRONT YARD I think my front yard, in the summer, is the most beautiful sight around. Often I sit- under the protecting mulberry t r e e , just studying the view about me. I absorb the fragrance of the stately pines that tower above me as I watch the squirrels scampering and playing in the trees. I love to sit and listen to the rustling of the cornstalks in the field across from me. A very common scene is one I hold dear; it is the one I view each time the dog chases my brother up the long, winding drive. Hearing the bark and the laugh of them, mingled with the smell of the fresh green grass makes me feel warm inside. I am happy, to, when I lie under the trees. The sharp needles of the pine and the soft grass beneath give me a secure, cozy feeling. All the while I listen, and watch, and drink in the beautiful sight before me. The sweet mulberries that I am eating refresh me more than any man-made food to be found. Mother Nature certainly gave me a wonderful gift; herself. Shirley Mitchell, Grade 9 JEST FOR FUN Lincoln was asked how long a man's legs ought to be to give him the most service. He answered: "Long enough to reach the ground.'1 Thursday and Friday were busy days for the seniors. This business of having one's picture taken is a serious matter: Miss Harris had hers taken too. She said she was glad it didn't take long. Mr. Reader had to wait so long that he was afraid his hair would be all grown out again. VISUAL AIDS CLUB At our Monday meeting we decided to list all Visual Aids machines and give the teachers a list so that they will know what we have for their use.

It came to a total of $11.57. The money will be added to our bank account. We discussed selling stationery as another means of obtaining money. Nothing definite was decided. Also discussed was where we would go on our field trip. Both of these items will be voted on at our next meeting. The meeting was adjourned by Becky Morris and seconded by Scharme Baxter. STUDENT COUNCIL MINUTES The meeting was called to order on February 8, 1961, by our president, Karl Burg. The roll was called; Kay Wylie was absent. The minutes were read and approved.

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

Advisor: Mrs. Morris PINCKNEY DISPATCH Wednesday, February 15, 1961 WEED CONTROL CLINICS FOR CORN GROWERS Corn growers of this area will have the opportunity to secure the latest information on modern methods of weed control at a clinic at Fowlerville in the 4-H Club building on Friday, February 24. The clinic will start promptly at 1:30 P.M. and will c o v e r modern practices and the economic benefits of pre-emergence weed control in corn. A color motion picture will show new production methods and results obtained. Emphasis will be placed upon those methods which experiment station tests and commercial growers' experience have proved most effective in reducing costs of corn production. This is because increased corn yields with greater net return per bushel will be of prime importance in 1961. ATTEND MEETING Mrs. Stackable, Mrs. Kelknberger, and Mr. Dunn attended a meeting at the Union Building Wednesday evening, February 9. The meeting was under the auspices of the Child Guidance Clinic. Dr. Ralph Rabinovitch, Director of Hawthorne Center, Northville, gave the main address. He talked about retarded children, and the care needed and provided for them. Dr. Rabinovitch made it clear that much research is needed before complete and satisfactory answers can be given to the problems of these children. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS The Homemaking 3 class at Pinckney High School has been studying nutrition for the past three weeks. During the study of nutrition the girls decided that they would like to get two white rats and perform a nutritional experiment on them. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the whole thing. Carolyn Cosgray volunteered to buy the rats for us over the weekend and bring them to school with her on M o n d a y morning. Carolyn went ahead and bought them on F r i d a y night. Much to her surprise, when she went down to look at them on Saturday morning, there were nine rats instead of the previous two. That is, mother and father and seven babies. As it turns out the experiment will have to be delayed for a couple of weeks. The class is now planning to use the babies in the experiment. The girls will feed two of the rats a balanced diet, and two of them a diet of favorite teenage foods, such as potato chips, coke, and c a n d y bars. They hope to find out what different effects the t w o diets will have on the growing bodies of the four little experimental rats.

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

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

A new date on which the college will be honored here will soon be announced for early sometime in May. amazing amount of unusual "inventions" were made by fathers and sons; so clever were the results of both teams that it was practically impossible to decide who were the really gifted ones. A potluck dinner prepared by the Den Mothers was served. The Reverend J. W. Winger of the Community Congregational church gave the invocation. Past president Keith Koch and Frank Czerwinski, secretary of the Kiwanis Club which sponsors the Cubs, and their wives, were guests at the dinner.

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

Mrs. Singer is a 1939 graduate of Pinckney High School, j She recalls that her favorite teacher was J. P. Doyle. The subjects she enjoyed most were spelling, typing, and math. Although her school work k e p t her busy, she found time to play basketball and softball. At the present time Geraldine is a happy and wonderful mother and housewife. You cannot be a happy housewife without a husband, and Geraldine has one of the best husbands a woman could hope for. Geraldine became Mrs. Jim Singer on Februarv sixth, in the vear 1940. The Singers have seven healthy children. They are Donald, 19; Barbara, 17; John, 15; Marilyn 13; David. 9; Robert 6; and little Jimmie. six months. We asked Geraldine if she would give the high school students some advice. She said, "Schools today offer students very high standards in education and a varied choice of subjects to fit into any walk of life. Take full advantage of your opportunities and learn all you can, for school days are precious, and they are the foundation of your future in these challenging times." When asked for her philosophy of life, Geraldine said, "The highest, the best, the most permanent pleasures are those which are not sought, but which come from the faithful fulfillment of life's duties and obligations." When GeraldineV oldest son, Don. finished high scWol, he represented the fourth generation of her family to be graduated from Pinckney High. Represent- j ing the four generations w e r e , first, the man Pinckney grew to know and love so well. Percy Swarthout; second, his daughter Pauline: then Pauline's daughter Geraldine; and last, but n o t least, Don, Geraldine's son, a graduate of 1960.

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

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

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

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

A chip from the pot brought to the surface by a diver was exchangabk for a prize piece of diving equipment. In addition, each contestant was issued a card declaring him a fullfledged Ice Knight.

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

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

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

The story started in early October when twenty-two boya went out for freshman basketball. The story came to a conclusion last Thursday at Hartland. To begin with, the boys found that it was difficult for some to train their bodies to put a ba» ketball in a hoop ten feet above the floor. They also found thtf there were rules other than basketball which they had to comply with if they planned to play with the team. Grades had to be maintained, parties had to be forgotten, and the time devoted to practice. Training rules had to be followed (no smoking or late hours, etc.). Some of these boys had to walk home at night after practice. The picture was much dimmer for these boys after a couple of weeks of practice. Practice was tiresome and hard work. It was difficult to keep up grades after getting home from practice at 7 o'clock; tired and weary. Besides, the coach bellowed like a wild man every time they made a mistake. Then came the fint game, and the boys lost 33 to 11. As the season wore on, some of the boys dropped by the wayside. The effort one had to put forth was not worth the prize of playing a game. Last Thursday night at Hartland fourteen boys wrote t h e final chapter of the story. It was the last game of the season. The team record was not ggo od, but the boyys f the fact that they had been improving. No team had c o m - pietely outclassed them in the last four weeks as they had in that first game at Saline. The game started out nip and tuck. Suddenly the team jumped out in front by 9 points. Hopes were high. The whistle started to tell the tale. Capitalizing on t h e free throws, Hartland tied t h e score and went ahead at half time 26 to 20. The team h a d made simple errors and the coach had started to bellow. As the second half started, the starters had begun to foul out of the game. True, the score had even ed up, but the starters w e r e fouling out of the game one by one. The fourth quarter started with Pinckoey one point ahead. Four supposedly second stringers were now going to try to fill the shoes of the starters. On the previous Monday these same boys had been unable to do the job at Brighton. Bobby Darrow did a dribling act which amazed even the coach. Duane Knapp scored 13 points before he fouled out. Carl Sowers, Ray KeQenberger, and Gary and Danny Doyle each contributed key rebounds and buckets. The game was over, Pinckney had My hat is off to everyone of these 14 boys. Some of them are better basketball pfayen than others, but each of mem had stuck it out and in some way improved the team. Some of them will probably never play in a vanity game, but in my hook each and every one of them wfl m a m mighty taH Be* of kick to you boys, STUDENT COUNCIL The meetiqg was called to order at 2:45. The secretary's report was read and the roi was caled. Paul fiowefl gave the treasurer's report at the place of rascai core. Karl Burg gave a report on Lloyd Hendee the last Washtenaw County Student Council Meeting in Manchester. It was decided that Pinckney will have the next meeting on March 16th. The constitution was typed and it will now have to be approved by the administration and the student body. Mr. McCloskey suggested that we purchase a plaque to put up in the hall, with the names of the Valedictorians on it. A committee of Francis Clark and Shirley Mitchell was appointed to look into this. Friday, the 17th, we w i l l have a St. Patrick's Day Dance. The chairmen of this committee is Carol Miller and the workers are Nancy Read, Bob Beck, Gary Lee, Kaye Wylie, G a r y The next meeting will be on March 8th. ~* LOOKING AHEAD Tom Kennedy, John Wetherbee, Jim Wylie, and Mike Rooke are soon to be Marines. They will start their four year term after graduation on June 13, 1961. We'll be sorry to see them leave. We have already lost two of our high school boys to the Navy; they were Bob Rutter and Louis Hochey, who left at the end of the second semester. We wish all of the boys to best of luck. THE SENIOR TRIP The seniors are planning to go to Niagara Falls by boat this year on their trip. At the present about fifty Seniors have signed up to take part in this event. GIRL'S GYM The Girl's Gym classes hostessed the Girls Basketball team from U. H. Friday, March 3rd. Following the game a delicious supper was served to the girls of the two teams. The University High team won 39-18. Carol Miller was high scorer with 12 points. According to Mrs. Walton the girls will begin to work with the floor mats next week.

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

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

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

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

At a later date all pictures taken will be published by this paper as a historical feature whkh we hope wUl be of interest to our readers now and in the future. Parents of pre-school age children should plan to bring them to the Putnam Twp.

Remember, all portraits will be taken by competent photographers experienced in p h o t ographing children. You will be invited back to see actual portraits when you select the pose and expression for use by this paper. It is not necessary that you be a subscriber or even a reader of this paper. Just come and tell your friends.

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

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

It's easy and practical to do because electric heat is installed and operates independently of the existing heating system, no matter what type you now have. INSTANT HEAT. Electric home heating is fast because the heat source is right there, in the room. And independent operation makes it ideal in spring and fall when one or two rooms need heating while others are warmed by the sun. Individual thermostats in each room make it possible to keep rooms at different temperatures automatically. - MATCH THE HEATING UNITS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS CLEAN HEAT.

MICHIGA N REGULAR BOARD <№ EDUCATION MEETING MARCH 2ND , 1961 The meeting was called to order by Pres. Young at 7:38 pjn. Roll Call — Present—Basydlo, Goucher, Kinsey, Young, Walton, M r s . Towsiey. Absent—Swanson. Minutes of the February meeting were read and approved. Supt. Reader's report: 1. Traffic problems arising at the High School during unloading of students in the morning. 2. On the discussion of the Stone School Genoa # 5 with the County Board of Education on its request for annexation with this District. 3. Technicality arising in the purchasing Comprehensive Commercial Liability Ins. 4. Presentation of Teacher's contracts for signature. 5. On the survey conducted by the County Board of Education surveying the needs for the Area's Handicapped Children. 6. Proposal for "bleacher seats" at the Pinckney Elem, School, and High School baseball field. 7. Recommendation for i revesting "Reserve Bond Funds." 8. On the work of Child Guidance Clinic at Lansing. 9. That 7 0 % of State A id was received. Mr. Walton gave a very detailed report on the comparison of the cost of the non-salary personal of our system with others of our size, and ability. Considerable time was spent in discussing this report. Nonsalary personal are comprised of "custodian crew, transportation office, and Food preparation". The report to date shows that this system on the whole is on a par with others. The committee is studying the possibility of improving the services by re-organization within this area. The Board gave their approval to the recommendations as submitted by this committee. To date any of the bids as presented on "dust collectors" and installation were not accepted. The Board is asking for bids from contractors in this area. The bids on the portable bleacher seats were examined. There isn't a great need f or large seating section. The Student Council at the Pinckney Elementary school offered to accept part of the cost of this project. This is the second project for this group within this school period — first was the blacktopping of the play section at the west end of the building. Motion by Walton, seconded by Basydlo that we accept t he offer of the Pinckney Elementary Student Council in sharing the cost of these bleacher seats and purchase two sections, from Monroe Seat Co. for a sum of $320. Carried. The council will pay $200 toward this. In studying the various methods of investing the "Reserve Bond funds" and the recommendations as presented by o ur financial advisor, the Board felt that local banking institutions should be contacted before a final decision is acted upon. This District has used the facilities and services of Lansing Child Guidance Clinic. Motion by Walton and seconded by Basydlo that we pay $140 towards this service. Carried. Mrs. Stackable, Ass't Supt. and High School Prin., gave her report on the results of answers to the "Night School" questionnaire. Typing, 32; Sewing, 25; Bookkeeping, 15; Shorthand, 12. These were in majority of requests. There were other numerous requests. Plans are being made for a "Fair beginning. In re-opening the request for annexation of the Stone School* Genoa # 5 at this time, the Board felt that the following problems have entered into the picture— 1. Opening of several large new subdivisions within t h is School District. 2. Unknown effect of the new "Expressways11 upon this Community. 3. The uncertainty of definite School Boundaries. 4. Increasing transportation costs. 5. Future plans of the State Conservation Commission l o r this Area. This request has been tabled indefinitely. The District will accept their tuition students. Supt. Reader gave a comprehensive report on the "Needs for Area's Handicapped Children" as presented by the County Board of Education on a County basis and also on local needs. The following is the summary of local needs— 42 — mentally handicapped, 1 homebound, 1 orthopedic* 17 speech correction, 61 visiting teacher, 6 blind and partial sight, 12 deaf and hard of hearing, 9 multiple handicap — total 149. Due to limited finances and lack of housing the Board felt that it should request the County Board of Education to promote this course of helpfulness on ft County-wide basis. Motion by Goucher, 2nd by Walton that the Pinckney Community Board of Education requests that the County Board of Education attempt to organize Educational facilities for the Area's Handicapped Children. Carried. Pres. Young appointed himself and Mr. Kinsey to a committee to meet with the Pinckney Village Council to discuss t he traffic problems arising near the High School during unloading of Students from Busses. Nearly 6 0 % of the Faculty returned their contracts for the Board's signatures. In reviewing the Liability Insurance the Board felt it should purchase a policy that fits its needs. Mr. Walton volunteered to contact other firms to explore other possibilities. The Board approved the Bills as read. Motion by Mrs. Towsiey, 2nd by Kinsey to adjourn. Carried. Time — Friday, 12:12 a.m., March 3, 1961. Joe Basydlo, Sec., Bd. of Education. John L.
