Offer plan to save Showboat To meet the objections of resi- dents of Lafayette Street and to allow the Showboat to erect per- manent seating on the street, a compromise solution was pro- posed by Mayor Ralph Town- send. at the council meeting on Monday to make a one-way street. This solution was submitted to some 20 residents of the area who did not voice any serious objection to this plan: It will now be presented to the Show- boat board of directors. Under the proposed plan, some 10 or 12 feet of the street will be left open for traffic, this would allow bleachers to be built over the remaining portion. If this meets the requirements of the Showboat, the council will give permission to use this por- tion of the street. It was agreed by the members of the council that as long as so many resi- dents objected to the closing, this would not be given further consideration. In a show of hands, almost everyone present at the meeting was in favor of doing anything within reason to keep the Show- boat going. Present Cemetery Plan C. H. Runciman and Jud Wilterink were present at the council meeting to discuss a plan to improve Oakwood Cem- etery, which was worked out by a group of interested citi- zens. Oakwood cemetery is owned and operated by the Township of Lowell, who have for the last two years refused to sell lots to only residents of the township. Because the upkeep of the cem- etery has been reduced, many citizens of the city have been interested in working out a plan to improve the grounds. Under the plan presented by Mr. Runciman and Mr. Wilter- ink. Oakwood Cemetery would be put in to an independent cemetery authority administer- ed by two men appointed by the township board, and two "men appointed by the council, and one man chosen by the four ap- pointees. The city is l)eing asked to con- tribute $1,500 a year to a sink- ing fund to purchase additional land, $1,000 toward the opera- tion of the cemetery, and fur- nish water at no cost. Lowell Township would turn over the title of the cemetery to the authorities, put the $38,700 of perpetual care funds under this administration, and contribute $500 a year toward the opera- tion. Last year the operation of the cemetery went some $800 in the red: inspite, of the earnings of the perpetual care fund, grave opening fees, and $1,372 paid in upkeep expense by lot owners, who have not paid for perpetual care. Only $66 worth of lots were sold by the cemetery. Many residents who live outside the township have purchased lots from owners of unused lots, but none of this money goes to the cemetery operation. A plan to increase the cost of lots to $50 per grave space for residents of the city and township, and $60 for those out- side, was proposed. At this rate there remains in the cemetery about $32,000 of unsold lots. The city council took the pro posal under consideration. Ex- pected action will come after the 19M budget is brought to the council by the city mana- ger. Bluebird News The Little Blue Birds met Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p. m. February 27. 1964.

Will reign as '64 Easter seal child in county Three-year-old Carol Gelders- ma will reign as the 19W Easter Seal Child of the Kent County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Inc., it has been announced by Irving R. Gilles- pie, president of the local chap- ter. Carol's picture will be car- ried on nearly 50,000 letters with Easier Seals which were mailed to county residents last week, January 27. Carol is the symbol of this year's campaign for voluntary contributions to raise money for aid to the hand- icapped in this area. Carol, first came to the at- tention of the Easter Seal So- ciety in March, 1963. Then, she was unable even to attempt walking, although she was over two and a half years old. To- day, she is only days away from walking by herself. And, she can stand alone, to show everyone in Kent County why she was selected to represent the hope brought to hundreds of crippled children in this area by Easter Seals every year. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Geldersma, 7966 Timp- son, S. E. in Alto, Carol was born with cerebral palsy. Mrs. Shirley Andrus, occupational therapist for the society, was visiting the girl's aunt, Mrs. Charlotte Johnson of Alto, last winter when she noticed Carol's inability to walk. She recognized the situation as appropriate for Easter Seal aid. First referred to a clinic, Carol then was put under the supervision of Dr. Harvey M. Andre. In July 1963 Carol enter- ed Mary Free Bed Hospital for three months. During this time she was fitted with leg braces, provided by Easter Seals. Re- cently, under Socicty super- vision, Carol's fat r built a stand-up table for her. Soon, she will undergo physical ther- apy exercises, which eventually will permit her to achieve fur- ther physical gains. Today, Carol joins In (amlly activities with her three broth- ers and sister on nearly a normal basis. Soon, there'will be education to think about, for she is a bright child. And, while Carol looks forward to even greater independence, Easter Seal officials predict a whole- some, useful life for her.

Offer plan to save Showboat

To meet the object ions of res i -dents of La faye t t e Street a n d to allow the Showboat to e rec t per -manent sea t ing on the s t r ee t , a compromise solution w a s pro-posed by M a y o r Ralph Town-send. at the council mee t ing on Monday to m a k e a one-way s t ree t .

This solution w a s submi t ted to some 20 res iden t s of the a r e a who did not voice any se r ious objection to th i s p lan: It will now be p resen ted to the Show-boat board of d i rec tors .

Under the proposed plan, s o m e 10 or 12 feet of the s t r ee t will be left open fo r t ra f f ic , this would allow b leachers to be built over the remain ing por t ion. If this mee t s the r e q u i r e m e n t s of the Showboat, the council will give permiss ion to use th i s por-tion of the s t r ee t . It was a g r e e d by the m e m b e r s of the counci l that a s long a s so m a n y resi-dents objec ted to the closing, this would not be given f u r t h e r consideration.

In a show of hands, a l m o s t everyone p re sen t a t the m e e t i n g was in f avor of doing any th ing within reason to keep the Show-boat going.

Present Cemete ry P l a n

C. H. R u n c i m a n and J u d Wilterink were present a t t he council mee t ing to d iscuss a plan to i m p r o v e Oakwood Cem-etery , which w a s worked out by a group of interested citi-zens.

Oakwood ceme te ry is owned and opera ted by the Township of Lowell, who have for the las t two years r e fused to sell lots to only res idents of the township. Because the upkeep of the cem-e te ry has been reduced, m a n y citizens of the city have been interested in working out a p lan to improve the grounds.

Under the p lan presen ted by Mr. R u n c i m a n and Mr. Wilter-ink. Oakwood Cemete ry would be put in to an independent cemetery au thor i ty admin i s t e r -ed by two m e n appointed by the township boa rd , and two "men appointed by the council, and one man chosen by the fou r ap-pointees.

The city is l)eing asked to con-tr ibute $1,500 a yea r to a sink-ing fund to pu rchase addi t ional land, $1,000 toward the opera -tion of the ceme te ry , a n d fur -nish wa t e r a t no cost. Lowell Township would turn o v e r the title of the ceme te ry t o the authori t ies , put the $38,700 of perpetual c a r e funds u n d e r this adminis t ra t ion , and cont r ibu te $500 a y e a r toward the opera -tion.

Last y e a r t h e operat ion of the cemete ry went some $800 in the r ed : inspite, of the e a r n i n g s of the pe rpe tua l c a r e fund, g r a v e opening fees , and $1,372 paid in upkeep expense by lot owners , who have not paid fo r pe rpe tua l care . Only $66 worth of lots were sold by the c e m e t e r y . Many res iden t s who live ou ts ide the township have p u r c h a s e d lots f rom owne r s of unused lots, but none of this money goes to the cemete ry operat ion.

A plan to increase the cost of lots to $50 per g r a v e space fo r residents of the c i ty a n d township, a n d $60 for those out-side, w a s proposed. At th i s rate there remains in the c e m e t e r y about $32,000 of unsold lots .

The city council took the p r o posal unde r considerat ion. Ex-pected act ion will c o m e a f t e r the 19M budge t is b rought to the council b y the city m a n a -ger .

Will reign as '64 Easter seal child in county

Three-year-old Carol Gelders-m a will reign a s the 19W Eas t e r Seal Child of the Kent County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Inc., it h a s been announced by Irving R . Gilles-pie, president of the local chap-ter . Carol ' s pic ture will be car-r ied on near ly 50,000 let ters with E a s i e r Seals which were mailed to county r e s iden t s last week, J a n u a r y 27. Caro l is the symbol of this y e a r ' s campaign f o r voluntary contr ibut ions to raise money fo r a id to the hand-icapped in this a r e a .

Carol, f i rs t c a m e to the at-tention of the E a s t e r Seal So-ciety in March, 1963. Then, she w a s unable even to a t t empt walking, although she w a s over two and a half y e a r s old. To-day , she is only d a y s away f r o m walking by herse l f . And, she can s tand a lone , to show everyone in Kent County why she w a s selected to represent the hope brought to hundreds of cr ippled chi ldren in this a r ea by Eas t e r Seals e v e r y yea r .

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russel l Ge lde r sma , 7966 Timp-son, S. E. in Alto, Caro l was born with ce rebra l pa lsy . Mrs. Shirley Andrus, occupat ional therapis t fo r the society, was visiting the g i r l ' s a u n t , Mrs. Charlot te Johnson of Alto, last winter when she not iced Carol 's inability to walk. She recognized the si tuation a s a p p r o p r i a t e for E a s t e r Seal a id .

F i r s t referred to a clinic, Carol then w a s put unde r the supervision of Dr . Harvey M. Andre. In Ju ly 1963 Carol enter-ed Mary F r e e Bed Hospital for three months. Dur ing this t ime she w a s f i t ted with l eg braces , provided by E a s t e r Seals. Re-cently, under Socicty super-vision, Carol ' s f a t r built a s tand-up table fo r he r . Soon, she will undergo phys ica l ther-apy exercises , which eventually will pe rmi t her to a ch i eve fur-t he r physical gains.

Today, Carol joins In (amlly activit ies with he r t h r e e broth-e r s and sis ter on nea r ly a no rma l bas is . Soon, t h e r e ' w i l l be educat ion to think about , for she is a bright child. And, while Carol looks fo rward to even g r e a t e r independence, Eas t e r Seal officials pred ic t a whole-some, useful life for he r .

Sun rises late in this season

This is the time of the vear when the sun likes to keep late hours.

Because of its late rising and setting, the difference between the time as indicated by the sun and our clocks is greater now than at any other time of the year, says University of Michigan astronomer Hazel M. Losb.

The sun is not a steady time keeper, because it does not move a t a constant rate. It runs s'ow and fast alternately, but in a regular and predict-able fashion. This is why we can adopt its average speed ra ther than its actual speed as a basis for our clocks.

"We a re in a season now when the sun is moving fastest eastward along the ecliptic, de-laying its rising and setting, a s timed by the sun's average speed.

"One may think of the two suns as men running a race, the mean or average sun at a steady pace all the way around year track, while the real sun falls behind its opponent, and puts on p burst of speed and passes him.

"At the present t ime of the yea r our mean time clocks a re noticeably ahead of the sun as much a s 14 minutes. With the correction for the Eastern Stand-a rd Time belt in the same di-rection, the net result is that according to our standard time docks our afternoons a re an hour and one-half longer than our mornings.

"Consequently, the later set-ting in the evenings is quite noticeable, while the darkness s tays with us in these cold mornings," Professor Losh says.

CHEVBLLE! by CHEVROLET-a great highway performer

Mclibu Super Sport Coupe Malibu 4-Door Sedan

Malibu Super Sport Convertible CheveUe SOO e-Pcusenger Station Wagon

Chevelle balanced performance is best! Passing, cornering, threading through

trrffic, sudden stops—Chevelle excels

all around! Chevrolet's new smprisc

package has what it takes to meet any

driving challenge: Six or V8 engines,

hefty brakes, full Coil suspenslea and

a trim size that makes the most of them!

Chevel le means performance aplenty—standard 120-hp Six or 196-hp V8—and opt ional a t extra coat, a 155-hp Six, a 220-hp V8, a new 327-cu.-in. V8! But Chevel le ' s performance means more. Chevelle's a foot shorter than the big cars. And the space Chevelle saves in aim cumes off the ends, not the middle. So it rides like you want a car to ride.

Chevelle lets you choose Power-glide*, 4-speed m a n u a l * or 3-speed manual t ransmission. Knowing how people like the custom touch, we wrote out a long list of extra-cost options.

Knowing all this, what's keep-ing you f r o m a t e s t d r i v e ? Certainly not y o u r C h e v -rolet dealer! •Ortionot at ttUa eott

State Police officers will be participating again this year in the motor vehicle safety check program conducted in many Michigan communities, accord-ing to Commissioner Joseph A. ChUds.

The national program Is being offered for the tenth year In a row to communities in the 31 states which do not require such Inspection. Michigan had 247 planned clinics in 1963, an increase from 217 the year be-fore, while there were 8,600 nationally.

This br ings up another point. I f requent ly a m asked, " W h a t do you fellows do in the winter t i m e ? " Since people know tha t much of the work we do is on the land they wonder how we spend our t ime when we can ' t get on the f a r m .

As Don r e m a r k e d in h is col-u m n of severa l weeks ago. one of the most impor tan t things we do in the winter months is to call on our coopera tors tha t we have not had contact with in the last yea r . Since this m e a n s f rom 800 to 1,000 personnel con-tac ts a yea r this alone keeps us very busy. When one of us caUs on a coopera tor w e a r e ' jus t checking on how their con-servat ion plan is working out and what we can do to help to get the planned prac t i ces on the land. Many t imes we find that the f a r m operat ion has been changed, new land has been pur-chased o r land has been sold, e tc . Any of these happenings mean that the plan mus t be brought up to da te . Many t imes new m a p s must be secured and a new plan folder m a d e up. Also. Don and I walk over m a n y f a r m s in the fall and save these for this t ime of y e a r to work out the plan with the cooperator . So, all in all, this is one of our most busy t imes . Now is the t ime of y e a r fo r landowners to be thinking abou t wha t conservation p rac t i ces they a r e going to install on their land this year . With the t ax cut just signed into law. many will have some money avai lable to do things they have long want-ed to. What be t te r use could be m a d e of this than to help conserve ou r na tu ra l resources . We need much more done of such p rac t i ces a s t ree plant ing, wildlife plantings, g rassed water-ways, s t r ip cropping, diversions e tc . We urge you to get your ordei in ear ly for the ma te r i a l s needed to c a r r y these p rac t i ce s out, such a s plant ing stock. We also would like very m u c h t o have you contact us, if you need help with these p rac t i ces , and schedule a definite t ime f o r us to come out and work with y o u .

Mr. Carl Smith presented a petition bear ing s igna tures of residents who opposed the per-manen t closing of Lafayet te Street . Reasons fo r object ions were given a s : s h a r p increase of t r a f f i c on Monroe Street , in-t e r fe rence with the business dis-

Maur ice Alexander , last of whom would not object if it benefitted the whole town but feared it would c r ea t e a double t r a f f i c Jeopardy on Monroe Street .

CouncU took the quest ion under advisement and the hear-ing was continued to the March 2, 1964 meet ing . (See MO-TIONS)

Renovating of the city hall housing the f i r e equipment to a ccbmmoda t e ano the r t ruck w a s discussed. T h e m a n a g e r w a s authorized to p r e p a r e tenta t ive p lans for council review, a f t e r which bids will be reques ted .

Mr. Joseph Azzarello and Mr . Wendell B e r m a n , a s well a s Mr. Bruce Wal ter , were p resen t in the m a t t e r o£ sewer exten-sion on West Main Street , re-quested by Mr . AzzareUo. City M a n a g e r Olson s ta ted tha t in a n e f for t to speed up requ i rements , if CouncU dec ides to m a k e the extension, he h a s made an es-t imate of the cost . It w a s est i-ma ted at $5940 fo r 8" sewer , with 6" la te ra l s for eve ry 150 front feet. The m a n a g e r r e c o m mended , however , that 12" sew-e r be installed and that the c i ty par t ic ipate in the toUil cost only to the extent of the d i f fe rence

• between 8 " and 12". Credit would be al lowed, according to

• the recommendat ion , fo r l a te ra l s m o t installed.

Mr. B e r m a n f i rs t expressed the opinion tha t the City of Lowell should do everything pos-sible to fos ter Showboat, s ta t ing he heard about LoweU first be-cause of the Showboat. He then protested the r ecommenda t ion

of the ci ty 's not pa r t i r ipa t ing 25 pe r cent in the cost of the 8 " sewer extension, s ta t ing tha t h is a r e a of the city is being t r e a t e d like "second c l a s s" citi-zens, that in o ther a r e a s im-p rovemen t s a r e being m a d e and citizens paying only 75 pe r cent to this Manager Olson re-plied that such part icipat ion w a s r ecommended because resi-den t s of the f o r m e r village had a l r eady helped pay for sewer and wa t e r extensions through-out the village and 75 pe r cent par t ic ipat ion fo r their own spe-cial a s sessment was deemed equi table . In this instance, a g r e a t e r par t of the extension is in the newly annexed a r e a where residents never par t ic i -pa ted in previous improvements in the old vil lage; in his opinion paying by the city for the over-sizing ( f rom 8" to 12") only, is equitable. Mr. Walter also s ta ted he believed the city should par t i c ipa te 25 per cent (In ad-dition to the overslzing) be-cause 200 feet of the m a i n would be within the old village l imits. He urged earUest pos-sible installation and council m e m b e r s were In acconf ttat t he improvement should be made . (See MOTIONS)

Mr. Olson reported tha t Bur-roughs Corporation have execut-ed a contract aUowing the city to drill test wells, but retaining the right of way to get to the i r proper ty along the raUroad t racks . (See MOTIONS)
