halfway across the world, then many little 'good deeds' become a miracle. The earliest budding of faith in mankind and the realization that we are indeed our brother s keeper.

On April 7. 1951. the World Health Organization, and other International health associations asked that every effort be made to alert the world to the rising tide of Tnbercu'osis which pre-sently holds "one half the world's population within Its in-fectious grasp." All over the globe, people of every race and color. In hundreds of languages heard how this age-old menace of mankind was becoming public enemy number one—especially In Asia, Africa, and" Soutii America.

Approximately 51,000 K e n t County children in 200 school.-, public and non-public, heard about this problem too. They heard and realized how fortu-nats they were to live in a county, which only last July was commended as having one of the best TB control programs in the nation, by one of the nation's most honored and re-spected Tuberculosis Specialists, J . Arthur Myers, MD., Em-eritus, University of Minnesota Medical School.

Six months ago. three thou-sand representatives of t h e earth's population gathered in Rome to discuss the devastating problem of TB. A West Afri-can doctor said: "helping one's fel'.owman has never been a part of the culture of my peo-ile. Show us how. Help us to !lp ourselves." The plea of such a young

physician, disillusioned by end-less battles with superstition and

Ln

t

suspicious tribal witch doctors, found root In childhood s heart here in Kent County. Pennies for popslcles suddenly become

rotcction for sick people. 10 000 iys and girl:; bought a nickel's

worth of life—which in the Ivory coast of Africa could mean a lifetime for a child.

These nickels are goin;; to help build and equip a cl'nic In a remote area of this new nation. It will be a simple clin-ic. Total cost, $3,400. If the to-tal amount is raised locally, the clinic will be known as Ihe Kent County M i c h i g a n Chil-dren's Clinic.

A mother called the Society about the project and comtnem-cd, "this has l)een one of the greatest humanitarian lessons my children have had"'. A leacn-er reported, "that in addition to reacqualnting children with an age old disease, the project of-fered a real lesson in foreign relations. Child-to-child foreign relations". We at the Kent County Tuberculosis Society say: "what better place could Ameri-cans begin to teach the people of this new African nation how to help themselves, than through cultivation of the God-given seed of concern within the innocent and sympathetic hearts of chil-dren? They are the nation's fu-ture.'"

Anyone—an>-where. wishing to help the children can also in-vest In a nickel's worth of life by sending their nickels to: Children's Clinic c-o Tuberculosis Society 919 East Fulton Street Grand Rapids 3. Michigan

Mayor Wittenbach stated that this was the place and time for the scheduled hearing on the proposal to install approxi-mately 900 feet of sewer main in West Main Street. Written objections to such installation presented bv Mr. and Mrs. George Lundberg and the Ada Oil Company were read and the same parties verbally expressed their objections at the meeting. At the Apr. 20. 1964 Council determined that such improve-ments would be made; the hear-ing of this date is on the assessment roll.

Ada Oil Company again ob-jected on the ground that their property would not be benefited. City Manager Olson stated that Ada Oil Company's assessment was not based on the oil sta-tion, which Is served from West Street; but the assessment is based on its adjoining buildable lot of 100 feet frontage, which would be benefited. Attorney Vander Veen stated that the Council has the right to de-termine if such sewer installa-tion is a matter of public necessity; it need not neces-sarily be of a necessity to all assessed property owners, it could be to some and the Coun-cil could legally adopt a resolu-tion on that basis.

Mr. Lundberg objected to the amount of the assessment, sta-ting legally It was too exces-sive. considering the .assessed value of the property. Attorney Vander Veen staled tha( in his opinion there was no such re-striction but added that either objector could appeal to the

courts to prevent the special assessment. (See MOTIONS)

Discussion of the transfer of the cemetery took place. All were in agreement that only long-term liabilities would be assumed by the city and that the end of the Township's last fiscal year would be a likely cut-off date. (See MOTIONS)

Manager Olson reported the staius of the obligation of the Lowell branch of YMCA to the Central YMCA.

The need for placing on the ballot a proposal for water ex-pansion and another for con-struction of a sewage treat-ment plant, was discussed. Coun-cil was In unanimous accord that the critical water situation and the demands of the State for the sewage treatment plant made such an election impera-tive. (See MOTIONS)

Geologists Edward Burt sub-mitted a written report of pro-gress on the test wells, staUng that the draw-down Indicated we were on the edge of the water supply. (See MOTIONS)

The city manager, requested and was given, support in a concerted effort to enforce the Sanitation Ordinance, namely, by allowing trash burners and garbage cans in the street right-of-way on garbage pick-up day only.

Mr. Olson also cited the need for new sidewalk on the west side of the city hall. He stated allowance for sidewalk in the budget would care for the ex-pense. He was authorized to make the installation.

The replacement of water main in the alley north of Main Street in the West 20-block was discussed. The man-ager recommended such re-placement conditional upon pro-perty owners prior agreement to absorb cost of necessary ser-vice hook-ons to the new main

and he was authorind toJo-stigate such i plan. (See MO-TIONS)

Presentation of proposed plat was submitted by Mr. Ivan Blough on behalf of himself and Mr. Dean Manigold. Referred to Planning Commission for study and recommendation. (See MO-TIONS)

Americans wasted $1 billion on false and fraudulent products in 1963. a Farmers' Week audi-ence learned at Michigan Stale University this month.

Discussing "Food Fads and Fallacies," Dr. Dena Cederquist chairman of the MSU Depart-ment of Foods and Nutrition, said that Americans are expec-ted to spend twice that much on frauds In 1964.

She warned Michigan families to be on the lookout for the modem "medicine man" and of-fered these tips to avoid buying fraudulent food products: .

—Suspect anyone who says the American food supply is unsafe or lacking in nutritive value.

"We have the most active 'policemen' in the whole world guarding our food supply," she pointed out.

—Be suspicious of anyone who attaches magic curing powers to a food.

—Be suspicious of any food

Eroduct not available In a regu-ir store. "If It's an acceptable, repu-

table food, it will be available on the open market," the nu-tritionist said.

—Suspect any person who makes any ususual claim for any food. All food can do, she pointed out, is nourish the body.

SWARMING TERMITES are, A WARNING^ TO HOME-OWNERS

< 5 * 3 Motorists in 1963 raced down

the nation's highways to a new, alHime auto death record which for the first time exceeded 42,000 fatalities. This tragic toll topped the figure of nearly 40,000 persons killed In 1941—a record high which stood for twenty years—and even surpassed the new record of 40,500 deaths es-tablished in 1962.

If any organizations in your community, such as church, scout, or vouth groups have re-cently purchased salvage buses to provide transportation, bet-ter make sure they are in good operating condition before using them.

The warning was sounded by Secretary of State James M. Hare, who pointed to the recent bus-car accident and burning nearby Port Huron which in-volved "an old, salvage bus" a d which took the lives of four school childrfefi, a^ a ''horrible but graphic example."

Haip said the accident em-phasizes the "Immediate need" for a state-wide motor vehicle inspection law.

"If that blis in Port Huron had been checked OBI thorough-ly before It was used to trans-port children from a skating rink near the cltjr, the terrible accident might have been avert-ed,"' Hare said.

He said the bus did not have any tail lights, nor any flares

v-.osJlrefigWng equipment. The result was that the driver of an on-coming car did not see the stalled vehicle on the highway, rammed the rear of the bus, which caught oh fire. .

In the meantime. Hare—who Is chairman of the State Safety Commission—is urging civic of-ficials and other groups who own old buses to make sure they are checked out for any possible mechamcal or body de-fects as well as seeing to It that they carry rudimentary safety equipment such as first-aid equipment, fire extinguish-ers, and flares.

More deaths and injuries to children occur while playing in the streets than in any other kind of accident. Streets are for vehicles, not children.

Rural local and county roads are accounting for a growing percentage of Michig n s total rural t raff ic problem—a trend that was developing even be-fore Ihe sharp increase in inter-state f reeway mileage, accord-ing lo a study made by the State Police safety and traff ic bureau.

The figures show that on lo-cal a n d county rural roads deaths increased from -11 per cent of the state rural total in 1955 to 48 per cent in 1962 and to 48.4 pe r cent in 1963.

Similarly, injuries climbed from 45 per cent in 1955 to 50 per cent in 1962 and to 51.8 per cent in 1963 while accidents rose f rom 47 per cent to 53 per cent and 54.2 per cent re-spectively.

By comparison, deaths on ru-ral s ta te trunklines decreased from 59 per cent of the s tate rural total in 1955 to 52 in 19C2 and to 51.6 per cent in 1963. In-juries declined from 55 per cent to 50 and then to 48 4 while accidents dropped from 53 per cent to 47 and then to 45.8 respectively in the same years.

Recognizing Ihe rural accidont trend, the State Police adjusted traffic patrols as available man-power permitted. The results shows that 26.7 per cent of the department 's t raff ic arrests In

1962 were made on rural county roads compared with 16 6 per cent in 1955 The 1963 tolal Is now being compiled.

One reason that rural county and local roads are accounting for an increasing part of the problem is that the interstate system Is helping to reduce the total number of accidents on niral U. S. and state routes.

The interstate system has a much belter accident record compared with other rual roads because of Ihe improved road-way design and the Improved handling of traffic. Thus, the percentage of accidents on the rural local and county roads. In relation to the whole rural traf-fic problem, automatically In-creases even if there should be no appreciable change In the number of accidents on them.

Comparing 1963 with 1962, the percentage of increase in in-juries and accidents on rural local and county roads was more than twice what it was on rural trunklines. On tho same comparative basis the percent-age of Increase in deaths on other rural roads was about a fifth greater than that on the rural trunklines.

For Ihe state as a whole, the 1961 record shows that deaths. Injuries, and accidents all were increased in both rural and ur-ban areas compared with 1962, but Ihe sharpest percentage gain was in urban areas . Rural areas again were accounting for 69 per cent, or about seven out of 10, of the total t raff ic deaths in the state, which ap-proximates the yearly average.

New all-time highs for the state in injuries and accidents for 1963 are charged In part to increased exposure—more vehi-cles. drivers, and miles travel-ed. More completeness In re-porting of accidents may be another factor since reporting generally has improved in re-cent years.

SWEET N E W S - The price of refined sugar, which has tended steadily higher since the early part of the year, recently turn-ed lower as many refiners chopped 50 and 60 cents per hundredweight off their prices to food processors and packers. The action reflects increased supplies of raw sugar both domestically and in the world market. However, there 's no certainty that this modest de-cline will reflect itself soon in consumer prices for foods, can-dies and such. That Christmas box of chocolates for Grandma is destined to co'jt a few more pennies than last year 's .

Trim figures for bathing suits

There is nothing like the ap-proach of the "bathing suit season" to remind some of us of the resolutions we have made —and broken—lo get rid of surplus weight. Summer clothes and sports outfits are seldom kind to the lumpy, overweight figure.

But surplus weight can injure more than vanity warns Dr. W. B. Prothro. City-County Health Officer. Medical people believe that excess poundage, especially after the age of 30, can actually shorten life. Overweight, which fan strain the heart and other vital organs. Is often associated with such serious illness as heart and circulatory diseases, gall bladder trouble, diabetes, and arthrit is.

in most cases, overweight Is simply due to overeating or in-dulgence in Ihe wrong kinds of food. Overweight due to some functional disorder. like gland trouble, is comparatively rare . The major i ty of people, then, can maintain the weight which is best for them by sensible eating habits, says Dr. Prothro.

Excess weight is ac^cumulated fat which the body manufac-tures f rom extra fuel it takes In the form of food and which It cannot burn up In Its output of energy. The obvious solution for the too-fat person Is to eat only the amount of food or fuel which his body needs, warns Miss Marie Fecht, Nutritionist for Ihe Grarid Rapids Health Department.

To the Owner or Owners of any and all Interests in. or Liens upon the Lands herein described:

Henry Stog, address unknown. Lot 173-172 Grand River Park

f rom"the l ? a c r e w ^ t a r ^ o l * l J ' says this stand was last but S about 30 years ago. He remark- P31 '1 ? 9 5 6 t 3*- f ? 2 8®- n € < * S M r y ed that logs should have been harvested ten years ago for top quality. A good stand of pole size trees were left and the woodlot is not pastured.

Gerald Poulias remarked that the S.C.S. has been of consider-able help to him in the past several years with improved land use.

Gerald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alien Wisner, who is a Future F a r m e r at LoweU High School is interested in the farm's con-servaUon plan. A decision was considered whether to reforest one a rea or to finish clearing and plan of pasture improve-ment . Father and son now plan to use Birdsfoot Trefoil on this land as soon as the clearing can be done.

Unusual trefoil growth has been secured on 12 acres of the Holiday Farm near Ada. says f a rm manager. Billy Blue. The Viking variety was seeded early last June. At that time 300 lbs. of 5-20-20 were applied per ac re and the same amount broadcast last fall May 13. a good stand of trefoil was a foot high and had started to blossom. 28 An-gus heifers will pasture for a while on the new seeding.

Manager Blue for Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Crawford reports that higher yields of alfalfa-b n j m e or timothy are produced t h a i where straight brome g ras s or timo'hy are seeded. One problem on some fields Is a P h of 7 or higher. One cut-ting of hay is taken and then the hay fields are pastured. 28 ac res of continuous com are raised on land near the Grand River with the balance of the f a r m in hay and pasture.

Enoch Carlson, Bowne twp.. has made good use of his con-servation rotation since his plan was made In 1955. Minimum Ullage and improved pastures have been good conservation tools on this farm.

Donald Osborn has made his decisions on his new conserva-Uon plan. Continued use of rye cover crops, the use of contour tillage and planting, pasture renovation and new field strip cropping are included in the plan.

Native flowering dogwood has made quite a showing in many f a r m woodlots. Due to a com-bination of weather conditions last year and this spring the bloom has been at its best. Lo-cation of this native shrubs in the protection of a woods shows the habitat it prefers.

One local nurseryman declar-ed that the spring shrub bloom is the best he can remember in the 38 years he has been in business.

THE NATIONAL AND WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES

An Entirely Different Message The National Council of Churches at a recent triennal meeting had this to say:

"The aim of the church is the renewal of the social structure and not the saving of individual souls."

When the World Council of Churches Division of World Missions and Evangelism met in Mexico City it said; "Evangelism is a misused, misunderstood word. Most people think of it as meaning the conversion of sinners, the more the better. Actually it means service. For example, if I care for a dope addict because the city does not have the facilities for him. and because society considers him a criminal. I consider this to be evangelism."

Now let's see what Jesus Christ says: —"Except a man be bom again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 —"Likewise, I say unto you. there is joy in the presence of the angels of God

over one sinner that repenteth." Luke 15:10 —"And he said unto them. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to

every creature. He that lielieveth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that be-lieveth not shall be damned." Mark 16: 15. 16

—"For the Son of man is come lo seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10

Now the statements of the National and World Council of Churches are diametri-callv opposed to the words of Jesus Christ Himself. What is evangelism? Evangelism is the bringing of the Evangel—the Good News of Salvation by Sovereign Grace through faith in Jesus Christ to all men everywhere! This is our message!

Many who read those lines are members of churches associated with the National and World Council of Churches. You and your children get Sunday School and Vaca-tion Church School material approved by this Council. You should take a good second look at it.

Believe the words of Jesus Christ and attend a Church that preaches what Jesus says.

Latin Club has Roman banquet

The Lowell High School Latin Club held their annual banquet. Saturday. May 16. at 7 at Ihe High School. A reception was held In the North entrance of the bulldlne for guests and members, followed by a proces-sion Into the dining hall whore the sacrifices to the cods was presented bv the President Greg Hoag. While being seated on the floor at the different tables, hors d'oeuvres were served by slaves and a wreath dance was given bv the first year club members

The first course which includ-ed a relish tray of deviled eggs, stuffed celery carrot slides, olives, pickles and radishes was then served while we enioyed a Roman skit by the first year members and the Roman min-strels by two of the second year students. Then came the main course with a roasted pigs head surrounded bv ham slices, lur-kev slices and small whole potatoes, followed by a tray of garlic bread, a trsy of meat bills and green beans and lots of red wine, while watching a beautiful scarf dance being giv-en by the second year club girls and a Gladiator Fight given by the first year club boys.

The last course of watermelon slices, orange slices, stuffed dates, pineapple slices, musk-melon slices and delicious straw-berries was enjoyed while the slaves were undergoing the sacred riles of baptism with water from the mighty Tiber and the severing of their chains, they were freed by their mas-ters.

After that the slaves were given one wish, and that wish was to mnke their masters do a foolish stunt.

This banquet was based on the banquets that were held in ihe time of the Romans. At that time, at a large banquet, the people were seated on the floor by small long tables. During the banquet the food w a s served between entertainmenLs.

The theme of this banquet was "A Roman Holiday". To top the evening off a beauti-ful plant was presented lo Mrs. Roth by the club in appreciation for all the help that she gave to them.

Jimmy Nelson of Flint was second, followed bv Johnny Lo-gan of Charlotte. Nick Rowe of Portland and Bill Thurkettle of Muskegon.

Race veteran Dick Carter of Saginaw was hospitalized after his race car piggy-backed over the car of Jack Smith and crashed Into the concrete re-taining wall.

Lady luck rode with Rich Sen-neker of Grand Rap'tTs, as he survived a 10-car pile-up and captured his third consecutive modified sportsmen win of the season on Ihe '{-mile clav oval.

Hoat race winners in the snortsmen division were Paul Welsner of Muskegon, A1 Huls, Art llouck of Grand Rapids, and Senneker.

Suner modified winners were Carter. Sanders and Elmer Hcr-rlngton of Kalamazoo.

• Nelson Stormzand and Larry

Lawrence encountered a num-ber of problems at the Hastings Speedwav Friday night. Law-rence broke an axle and Storm-zand blew his engine. The only Lowell driver to survive the crisis was Hugh Llnkfleld.

Wavne Kline copped the fast car daih in Ihe sportsmen divi-sion with heat race victories be-ing scored by Herb Kirtz, and Bob Johnson. Johnson a l s o brought home the bacon in the feature event.

High flying Gordie Bissett out-drove a field of l<l other con-tenders to win the 25-lap feature race, for flying stocks. Heat race winners were Sherm Col-vac. Dennle Tredwell and Paul Smith.

• The legality of the racing

rules and regulations set up at the Grand Rapids Soeedrome, Saturdav night caused nulte a controversy between the dri-vers and spectators, and allow-ed Bob Senneker to win his 6th consecutive feature event In the seml-late. model division.

Senneker was given the vic-tory bv the track officials when a protest was made following the race which was originally won bv Larry Townsil of Grand Rapids.

Townsil was disqualified on the basis that he was running a racing slick on the right rear The rules of the track specifically state that no rac-ing slicks can be run.

But upon Investigating a copy of Ihe rules, just about every car that set in the pits that night was illegal, according to the rules. So the question that ponders my mind is. should he have been protested and been allowed to lose?

Rumors living around Ihe pits said that Townsil had been warned regarding the use of the tire; but shouldn't that have been where the enforceme-t of the rules should have started? If no was running illegal, he shouldn't have been allowed on the track in the first place. But on the other hand if evervone else is turned out to pasture with illegal fixln's. why not?

There are so many aspects of the rules that can cause quib-bling. that I sometimes wonder if it pays to race, and for that fact even I* a spectator, as miifh as I love the sport.

Racing rules are a touchy subject, and the heated argu-ments that arise sometimes coL-ld bum your ears. Oh well, may the best man win!

Wearing a poppy on Poppy Davs will honor the more than half-million Americans who died and the n e a r l y one-million wounded during both World Wars and the Korean conflict.
