- By ConnicSO WE MAKE ERRORS INLAST WEEK’S MESSENGER

So we made a couple of booboosin last week’s Messenger, forwhich we sincerely apologize, asthe errors had to do with the upcoming Primary Elections Aug. 8.

First and foremost, we neglectedto list Joseph D. Pepper, a candidate for the office of CountySheriff, who lives in NottawaTownship and is well known inthat area.

Pepper said in an interview Saturday that if elected he willprovide security for Weidman’sstreets at night and for MitchellMemorial Park, which is beingdestroyed by vandals.

On this alone, local folks willlook closely at Mr. Pepper as acandidate.

We also had an elliptical listof township officials in Broom-field. We got a list of candidatesfrom the County Clerk’s office,but it listed only those runningfor office, not those incumbent.

Here’s a corrected list forBroomfield:

The current Supervisor ofBroomfield is Ralph Strong, whois not running for re-election.Candidate running is Wayne Cole,Republican. Gale Krueger isincumbent Township Clerk, andhe also is not running for re-election. Running on the Republican ticket is Elmer Frazer. Harold Lapham is present Township Treasurer, and he is runningfor re-election. Trustees areRichard Cook and Harris DieM,Robert Cook, all incumbents.Running for election are BillBrown, Republican, and BobFanning, Democrat.

POTATO THIEVES WARNEDOF CHEMICALS USED

Richard Cook, who has about800 acres of potatoes in a three-county area, including the Weidman area, told the Messengerlast Friday that thieves had dugup about half an acre of his half-grown potatoes, probably to sellon the market.

There is a waming out on theuse of these potatoes: They havegrown in soil treated with a poison, trade name Di-Syston, achemical taken in through theroots of the potato plants. Normally, he said, the poison wears

EMMA MIDDLESWORTH CUTSRIBBON AT OPENING OFALLEN CAMPAIGN HDQTRS.

Emma Middlesworth, precintchairman for the Weidman areaRepublican Party, helped cutthe ribbon at the opening ofRep. Richard Allen’s campaignheadquarters in Mt. PleasantMonday.

Mrs. Middlesworth was accompanied by Myrtle Bowerman andClaribel Beutler, to hear Rep.Allen’s opening campaign speech.

Allen has charged John Engler,currently State Representativefor the 100th District, of usingtaxpayers’ money to further hiscampaign for re-election. Hecalled on Engler to reimbursethe State of Michigan for theexpenditure.

Engler’s mailing of 29,000printed brochures was not illegal,he said, but asked whether suchshould be done during an election campaign.

He said that Engler requestedand received approval from theSpeaker of the House Bill Ryanto have 30,000 pieces printedand 29,000 mailed.

He said this mailing was not a

off by the harvest time for potatoes later, but at this time potatoes taken from the ground area Serious threat to the health,and perhaps to the lives, of thoseeating them.

“Di-Syston is a deadly poisonwhich can be harmful if enoughis absorbed by the human body,”a spokesman for the IsabellaCounty Extension Service said.

“Symptoms to be aware of, ifthe chemical has been taken internally, are tightness of thechest, sweating, stomach pain,diarrhea, vomiting, and contracted pupils of the eyes.”

these symptoms are present,a doctor should be called atonce, and the person should notbe given morphine,” the spokesman said.

The poison is commonly usedby potato growers everywhereon a commercial scale, andwill wear oft by harvest time,Dick Cook said.

Dusting planes, also used extensively in the potato fields,lay fungicides on the growingpotato plants, which is not absorbed into the potato crop.

Later in the season, planeswill use a herbicide called“Premarg” to kill plant topsand allow the tubers to developfor the harvest.

Thursday, July 27, l972___part of Engler’s routine constituent services and the pieceswere mailed not only to his ownconstituents, Allen said, butalso to Clare and Gratiot Counties, not now part of Engler’sdistrict since the reorganizationthis year. The mailing alone,Allen said, cost as much as Fagler’s first-year total postage expens e.

Engler responded on a Tuesdaymorning radio broadcast, sayingthe out-of-district mailings hadbeen a mistake by a mailing outfit he employed to do the job,and that the situation would becorrected.

He added he had hoped theelection campaign would stayon issues only and omit personality conflicts.
