For Dr. Hannah broke tlie.hatlc rule of his union a few days ago by gathering together all members of his faculty and asserting )n a clear, loud voice that Higher Edu-cation can use Its Immense film re of taxpayers' money less waatc-fully.

His "betrayal" shocked sacred sanctuaries from Harvard to UCLA.

Obviously aware that he would cause quivering beards and clouds of angry pipe smoke on every uni-versity and college campus, ..the MSU President admitted to the fac-ulty that he was embarking on an unprecedented venture by dating to say that .education can be im-proved at less cost to the peoplfe.

It appears that the foundation for Dr. Hannah's program Is more efficient use of the plant to in-crease production at lower cost.

In other words, this realistic uni-versity prexy wants to move High-er Education out of the dreamy modem age of automated efficien-cy. And It Is about time—If the taxpayers are to be left with a few bucks for gasoline for the old jalopy.

Full use of plant and equipment has been^the basic principle of the business world since economist took over management in plaoe of the mechanics and the tlnkerers like Henry Ford and Louis Chev-rolet and the Dodge brothers,'

My first lesson on this rule came from the late Judge Patrick 'H. O'Brien, an Impractical and won-derful humanitarian who was At-torney-General of Michigan In the first Roosevelt years. When TWas a very young reporter In 1926, Judge O'Brien lamented to me that so many automobiles were parked so much of the time.

"It's a waste of potential power to let those engines stand Idle/' he complained.

Years later I was a press agent for Pan AmerlCSfi World Alrwapk and I was shocked to discover that no plane must sit Idle unless It Is In the shop for repairs or the regu-lar checkup.

A plane costing 52 million in those days (a modern jet costs 55 million) wsas required to pro-duce revenue eyery day to be ef-ficient.'. I was astonished because, bejng a newspaperman, I knew as muck, about business as I know about Jfcoat fanning.

ur colleges put l*aafreloTQ, masters and

doctors with production. line effi-ciency, I can foresee a new era in Higher Education pioneered by Dr. Hannah.

He will require the student to earn the right to college education through the student's own efforts.

He will end repetitive teaching and drill, and as one newspaper commented, "end classroom baby-sitting."

He plans evetf to turn the dorm-itories Into centers of learning and study.

Only 10 years ago, the colleges and universities needed 534 million froqi the legislature to augment the money they received from tu-ition fees, grants. Federal assist-ance and other sources.

During the fiscal year which wiH end Juno 30, the legislative appro-priations for Higher Education to-taled 598 million.

This Increase la out of propor-tion with the 20 percent growth In population during that period and cost Increases due to inflation.

For a lawmaker to question the use nf the taxpayers money by the universities and colleges was to in-vite scornful ridicule.

But Dr. Hannah didn't come out of Harvard with classical Ideas on the future of mankind.

Hp came out of the poultry de-partment of old Mlclilgan Agricul-tural College—with chicken mud on his shoes—to build that institution Into one of the finest universities In the land.

It appears now that he will lead H to an even greater future—with the taxpayers getting a money-sav-ing break at last.

Time To Start On Home Work

Sixth grade Is soon enough for children to start assigned home work, says Robert S. Fox (Ed. D.) director of The University of Mich--igan University School. ,

Assignments should be tailored to fit the Individual child. Fox be-lieves. "There should be few total class assignments at the early lev-els," he stresses. "Instead, teach-ers should encourage children to explore their special interests on their pvvn Initiative. ,

Elementary school children have such heavy demands on their time that by and large it's wise for the school to restrict Its formal learn-ing activities, like arithmetic drill or word drill, to the school hours.

"Light home work can be given In the sixth grade and the amount can be Increased through junior high school and senior high school."

But even klndergartners and ear-ly-graders often get Interested in a natural kind of home work that 'grows out of their own experlenc-l es, he points; out. "A good ele-mentary feaeher will capitalize onj this and stimulate the child to continue learning from his environ-ment—perhaps' by bringing samples of special Interests to be studied by the group. The more formal approach should be reserved for ^ g h school and college.

"At the high school level, stu-dents should be encouraged to use after school hours for Individual problems. More and more I'm con-vinced that the forward looking teacher will steer clear of the across-the-board assignment. The poorest example here is the arith-metic assignment with the whole class ordered • to "work the next 30 problems for tomorrow.' "

Even at high school level, as-signed home work is not the best way to get basic teaching across, especially material Wt covered In class, says Fox. "Home work should be used as a means of' gaining supplementary information and parents have an Important role here.

"They can do much to help the child broaden his experiences and explore the rich resources of the community. Most important, they can give the child a powerful ample at home of the value they place on academic learning."

Rate Dietitians Best Qualified For Marriage

Which professional tjeld best pre-pares a girl for marriage?

Dietitians at The University of Michigan Medical Center say, not unexpectedly, the answer is "Di-etetics." And they have some good reasons:

Many of the dietitians' skills have direct carry-over to running a home. High among them, say the U-M specialists, Is a thorough pro-fessional knowledge of food pur-chasing and food budgeting.

With the family dinner table tak-ing a king-sized slice from hub-by's Income, the girl who can stretch the food dollar while serv-ing balanced, nutritious meals has it all over the one who Is limited to TV-dinners and pecan fudge.

To become a dietitian In the first place, ^ i s must earn a bachelor of science degree in foods and nu-trition, then take a one-year In-ternships. H e r e they put their college training to practical tests In hospitals, restaurants, cafeter-ias and other food-service .organ-izations. • '

s|ie le'ams hasjc principles of mepu jtolfttofiifopd adrplniatr^tlon a n a S h e may even condact her own-researoh program in nutrition.

When it comes to family living, the dietitian Is equally skilled at feeding two, ten or twenty, and she k n o w s attractive ways to stretch a meal when hubby un-expectedly brings his boss home for dinner.

Dietitians handle the niceties, of food presentation almost as second nature. Every housewife knows that appearances mean a great deal In serving food. But a skilled dietitian will almost never serve two creamed" dishes at the same time, and will even think twice be-fore serving peas and baked po-tatos on the same plate (because both are round—hence, the plate appears monotonous).

"It's still true," observes one of the U-M food specialists, "that the way to a man's heart lies through his stomach. And the girl with training in modern dietetics has some delicious ammunition at her beck and call."

But how well does the theory hold up In actual practice? Of 10 dietetic Interns In the present group at the U-M M3dlcal Center, one Is already mirrled and five are engaged—nnd the course does-n't end until next September.

out the law forbidding the payment of so much a name for getting registrations also lost.

Tuesday, the House rejected a bill that would have limited any income or payroll tax. Imposed by cities, to residents of their munici-palities. The bill was voted down Tttoridny of last week, but was kept alive by a motion to recon-sider.

The Houce and Senate acted quickly following the passage of the Con-Con proposal, to set nec-essary machinery to name the delegates to the convention, and other matters preparatory to the calling of the convention.

The Hbwell TB Sanitarium was transferred to the Mental Health Department, and will be used by the state to care for child patients, If a bill which passed' the House Tuesday, becomes law.

The House passed a bill that will allow rommunltles to proceed under the Public Improvements Statutes, to clean up swimmer's Itch and other lake and beach con-ditions that make some of the re-sort area beaches unusable.

Wednesday afternoon the House met and after roll call, recessed while both parties held a caucus, to work getting bills reported out before the Friday deadline.

G O O D SALESMANSHIP—Selling goods that won't come back to customers that will.

100,000 workers In the state, most-ly In the retail stores, hospitals, restaurants and hotels. Most work-ers are those who are unable to secure employment because of a handicap, age or who could not secure employment In higher-pay-ing Jobs.

A plan to give relief from sales tax to purchasers of cars and hea-vy appliances, by applying the tax only to the difference between the price and the trade-in allowance, has been abandoned. It would have cost about 520 millions In revenue losses to the state, and most mem-bers of the House think that the state could not stand such a loss.

A new problem, how to pay for the Constitutional Convention the voters approved at the April 3rd election, faced the legislature, al-ready faced with the appropriation requests that far exceed the avail-able revenues. Even the people who wanted the Con-Con, don't know what the costs will be. For sure, the salaries of the delegates will amount to 51.080,000, but this Is conceeded to be only a part of the cost, which has been estimated as high as 53.5 millions.

The legislature has no choice ex-cept to provide the funds neces-sary to pay for the convention. Just where they will cut appropri-ations, If that Is the course they

1ftkjpQse,..or where (hey, will find new revenues. If they decide that Is the way to go, Is anybody's guess. Few members of the legis-lature are expressing any opinion.

Enrollment Rises

"Anyone can learn a foreign lan-guage," says Dr. Stanley R. Town-send, head of Michigan State Uni-versity's Department of Foreign Languages.

And at MSU, more people are learning languages. Enrollments in French are up 25 percent; Span-ish, 23 percent; German, 19 per-

cent; Italian, 30 percent and Rus-sian, 36 percent. Michigan State also has one of the largest begin-ning Chinese courses in the coun-try.

Two great innovations in lan-guage teaching, according to Dr. Townsend, are pattern drills— a number of sentences in which only one element is varied at a time—and language laboratories, where tape recordings help stu-dents learn pronunciation.

Show Exhibits During YWCA Week

National YWCA Week will be ob-'served during the week of April 123-29. The theme for the YW ob-servance is LOOK AHEAD WITH THE YWCA IN THE 1960'8.

Would you be willing to give emphasis to this observance by mentioning it in your paper? In-asmuch as the YWCA is affiliated with many worthwhile activities in the community, we feel that they have a very worthwhile program to offer for the betterment of the community.

As an organization of high ideals and objectives regarding our youth and adults, we would Tike to feel that the YWCA has helped to make a contribution that has helped to enrich the community which it serves. Many from the communi-ty avail themselves of the many opportunities offered by the Grand Rapids YWCA.

Secondly, will you call the at-tention of the community to the splendid exhibit now being shown at the GR Public Museum. The exhibit shows what is and what can be done for the long-term pa-tient. The Hospital Guild of Maple Grove Medical Care Facility is sponsoring the exhibit.

160,000 Red, White Austrian and Scotch Pine, Norway Spruce, and Douglass Fir were disHbUted Ap-ril 7 and 8 at Director Kenneth Anderson's farm near Ada to Dis-trict Cooperators and other land owners. 10,000 Multlflora R o s e were also sold by the District for life area improvement.

There was an increased demand this year for Red and for White Pine, but less Scotch Pine planted. The main purpose of the District securing seedlings has been to en-courage reforestation on marginal and on submarginal land. Wind-break and shelterbelt plantings have also been encouraged.

• • • Over 500 acres of field strips

have been laid out thus far in 1961 in eight townships as foUows: Chas. Ritter 28 acres, Eugene WoJ-tas 31 acres. Matt Neitherfer 20 acres in Algoma Twp.; Harold AJ-drich 52 acres, Bowne Twp.; Rus-sell Dunn an additional 76 acres, Gaylord Houghton 37 acres. Spen-cer Twp.; Gustave Reuss 21 acres and Arnold Johnson 41 acres in Solon Twp.; Ed Stream acBfl Tyrone Twp.; and Ralph Johnson 24 acres. Cannon Twp.; Director Paul Troost 20 acres, Byron Tvvp.

Some of the above acreages are extensions or are added fields adapted to field stripping. The strip width runs from 76 to 93 feet, generally with but few strips as wide as seven rods which is the maximum width under ACP cost sharing. An even number of strips are planned to fit a tour year rotation generally on sandy loam, loamy sand or on well drain-ed soils-where mostly gradual or even slopes are found. Strip widths are determined to accommodate an even number of row crop rows. The greater the slope, up to 18 percent, the narrower are the strips.

Hedge rows, stone fences and other obstructions are removed to allow for as long strips as possi-ble with less travel for turning. The strips are usually plowed, fit-tetf, planted, culUvated and haa^ vested in one direction. Minimum tillage has been the most import-ant factor to conserve top soil and moisture along with the strips.

Mr. Beal, a neighbor of Ma.tt Neitherfer?, Algoma Twp., says that Matt produced the best corn crop he has evt-r seen grown on that farm by me,ans of strips. Plow down of a rye green manure cover crop plus other good prac-tices were also contributing fac-tors.

• * • Your directors report an increas-

ed interest by Kent County Church-es in Soil Stewardship bdbklets and in church bulletin inserts which the District purchased from the National Soil Conservation Dis-trict office.

3500 bulletin inserts and 50 Soil Stewardship booklets for ministers have been distributed. Soil Stew-ardship Week runs from May 7-May 14 with either Sunday to be used for the observance.

More city churches will honor Sol. • Stewardship this year since Soil and Water Conservation inter-est is not confined only to rural churches. The Lutheran and the Episcopal Churches qustomariiy observe "Rogation Sunday" on a nation wide basis. The blessing of the soil and the seed makes an impressive ceremony.

Members of the Soil Conservation Service Staff are happy to act as resource people but would rather leave the "preaching" to local ministers.

Onfe of our cooperators, Arnold Johnson of Solon Twp. has beert an outstanding lay minister to three churches with his Soil StewJ ardship observance.

Lester Mark, Work Unit Conser-vationist, spoke to the Grand Rap-idp Ministerial Association, April 3. ^le showed slides on "The Good Land" with reference to Soil Stew-ardship Week.

He also showed slides and gave a talk on "The Good Land" to the Cedar Spring Red Flannel Rod and Gun Club, April 15th.

Notice NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF L'NIFOKM TRAFFIC CODE

Notice is hereby given that pur-suant to the provisions of Act 62 of the Public Acts of 1956, Slate of Michigan, the Uniform Traffic Code for Cities, townships and vil-lages was adopted by reference by the Council of the City of Low-ell on the Third day of April, 1961.

Tlie purpose of such Code, Is to regulate the operation of vehicles, to provide for the regulation and use of streets, highways and al-leys and other public and semi-public places within the Cily of Lowell and to provide penalties for the violation of said Code.

Complulu copies of the Uniform Traffic Code are available at the office of the City Clerk for in-spection by and distribution to the public a t all times.

LAURA E. SHEPARD. City Clerk

The reasons for the City of Low-ell's adopting the Uniform Traffic Code a re mainly two:

1. To achieve uniformity with oth-er cities throughout the Stale.

2. Our old code was not broad enough to include all traffic trans-gressions, such as "stopping with-in the assured d e a r distance ahead". Fines for such violations would have to be levied and col-lected at the county level and the fees would not be returned to the City.

Major Cause Of Headaches Carbon Monoxide dustry these days are due to de-pressed business cycles, pressures of competition, cost reduction or problems, according to occupation-al health engineers with the state health department.

Carbon monoxide fumes are one of the major causes for headaches among industrial employees. And the source of much of this pois-onous gas is Industrial lift trucks used to haul parts to production lines, fill box cars and semi trail-ers with finished products for shli>-ment, and to slack products and supplies In warehouses.

Efficient as these lift trucks are. they can create problems, a n d headaches, for Industry if not pro-perly maintained, health depart-ment engineers point out.

In addition to headaches result-ing from breathing exhaust fumes from gas buggies, the accompany-ing mental dullness creates safety hazards and reduces employee ef-ficiency.

Besides keeping the trucks in good repair so that the ones driv-en by combustible gasoline or pro-pane gas engines will emit a mlnli mum of carbon monoxide, ade-' quate plant ventilation is also an important factor in alleviating the problem. Catalytic mufflers to ox-idize the poisonous carbon monox-ide and convert it into harmless carbon dioxide have also helped solve this long-time industrial head-ache.

The maximum allowable concen-tration for carbon monoxide is 100 parts per million parts of air. In their plant investigations," it is not a t all uncommon for occupational health engineers to find concentra-tions up to 200 or more parts, per million of carbon monoxide. They immediately recommend a more thorough maintenance program for the industrial trucks as well as better ventilation to dilute the con-centration of poisonous, headache producing exhaust fumes.

If the plant where you work gives you a headache which you feel may .be associated with ex-haust fumes from lift trucks, men-

ition it to your safety director or plant manager. It will be to your advantage as well as the com-pany's to have the air content of the plant checked for possible ex-

Icessive carbon monoxide. Health engineers Investigate an average of more than 200 such complaints every year.

Good Nutrition Under The Skin of the Potato

Under the skin of a potato you will find a gold mine of good nu-trition and a tasty addition to any meal says Eleanor Densmore, ine County Extension Agent in Home Economics.

These Lenten days when you sometimes find menus a bit mo-notonous, the iKitato can come to your rescue because 11 is so ver-satile. Just think of all the ways il can be prepared! Creamy with cheese, it's a t;ood meat substi-tute. Potato pancakes are the fa-vorite in many homes and when you have potato pancakes, that's about all you want maybe a sal-ad or some applesauce to give a. bit of tartness.

Older folks will remember with nostalgia the eodfish balls made with codfish, mashed potatoes, egg and appropriate seasonings. Hot potato salad for spring days and later on just good old fashioned potato salad for suppers and out-door meals.

University of Michigan admis-sions standards have risen sub-stantially In the past few years and probably will continue up-ward in the future.

This opinion is expressed by U-M Admissions Director Clyde Vroman (PhD) in the current is-sue of the Michigan Alumnus, which features a special 11-page report on admissions.

During the past five years, the report notes, there's been a sub-stantial rise (From 40 to 54 per-cent) in the proportion of U-M freshmen ranking in the lop 10 of their high school class. St ores on various standardized tests also have Increased substantially.

A prospective student's second-ary school record, his school's re-commendations, evidence of apti-tude and achievement, and such subjective factors as his motiva-tion for college education are among the U-M's admissions cri-teria.

"Here at Michigan we're getting a "fery serious-minded student bo-dy," Vroman notes.

"Many of the young men and women have their sights firmly fixed'on high ambitions in I he var-ious professions. They know what they want to do, and they work hard to achieve their goals.

"Since the performance level is high, the standards required to join such a student body must Inevi-tably be placed on the same lev-el."

The standards themselves are set by the faculties of the various U-M schools and colleges, Vroman adds.

Last year the U-M received about 9,000 applications for admission as freshmen. This year It expects about 11,000. Actual freshman en-rollment last fall totaled 3.383.

Basic expenses for one year of undergraduate study at the U-M average $1,535 for in-stale residents and $2,025 for out-of-stalers. This includes $825 for room and board. $100 for books, supplies and spe-cial fees, and $350 for personal ex-penses. Semester fees for Michi-gan residents are $280, compared to $750 for out-of-state residents.

Last year more than 2,200 be-ginning freshmen requested schol arships and about 650 received awards averaging $300.

JERRY FORD • t

Having experienced over 80 days oh the "new frontier" we now can make a preliminary analysis of the present administration and list cer-tain observations on its character and accomplishments.

'1. President Kennedy's inaugu-ral address was worthy of any Chief Executive. It was well writ-ten, well delivered, and set high standards for the government and for all citizens. We were deeply impressed by his challenge to his fellow Americans, "Ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country."

2. According to the pollsters the President's personal popularity has increased since January 20th. Per-sonally he has conducted himself in a responsible and diligent man-ner. He Is no longer down-grading the United States nor insisting that our nation Is a second-rate power.

3. Mr. Kennedy has made effec-tive use of the televised news con-ference, opening up the traditional press conference to viewers and listeners throughout the country. Hp has used this medium to an-nounce national policy, to present the Administration's position on many vital questions, and to plead his side of the case In certain con-troversial issues. We have no ob-jection to such use of television apd radio by the President of the United States. But we do raise the question of whether the net-works and local stations should not make available equal and com-parable time for the opposition to state its case on controversial Is-sues.

4. We hope and trust that the Administration will be as firm in actions as it is in words in dealing with the worldwide atheistic com-munist conspiracy. The President has spoken out vigorously against the communist aggression in Laos. But some have alleged recently that the Administration is permit-ting the military situation there to deteriorate while we try to ne-gotiate with the Kremlin. The free world can expect to gain little at the bargaining session If It has already lost on the battlefield. We must not only talk vigorously but act promptly and decisively In or-der to strengthen our hand at the conference table.

5. The other foreign policy issue which may be the small dark cloud on the horizon involves the admis-sion of Red China to the United Nations. There are indications that groundwork is being laid for the acceptance of U. N. Membership for Communist China. Some are rationalizing that we have done our best but must now accept the inevitable and agree to II. N. mem-bership for the Chinese aggressors. This makes a mockery of the U. N. which by its charter is an associ-ation of peace-loving nations. The U. N. itself has condemned Red China as the aggressor in Korea, and its activities in Laos and Tibet are well known. The admission of a condemned aggressor to the councils of the United Nations will gravely weaken, if not destroy, the UN.

6. I agree with the conclusion reached by President Kennedy in his message on the defense bud-get that "our military position to-day is strong." This is reassuring and is consistent with the position maintained by President Eisenhow-er. The changes in the defense budget recommended by Mr. Ken-nedy reflect a revision in emphas-is prompted generally by changes in technological developments and in the world situation.

7. Since his inauguration the Pres-ident has sent 14 major messages to Congress but has been able to sign only 16 bills or resolutions into law, many of which are of minor importance. Words are in abundance; deeds are less in evi-dence. The Democratic-controlled Congress has shown no great en-thusiasm for plunging boldly into the new frontier. The Democrats have the leadership and the num-bers in each House to control all legislative activity. The Republic-ans are not guilty of. nor can they be charged with, obstructionism. We campaigned on and were elect-ed to support a particular political philosophy. We must forthrightly vote for that philosophy. To ca-pitulate to Presidential demands would be "me-tooism."

8. Domestically the new front iersmen are enamored with the thought that every need and ev-ery problem of every group can be met and solved In Washington by greater federal expenditures. Eac'i new proposal sent to the Congress would concentrate more power In the federal bureaucracy, remove governmental control far-ther from the citizens involved, and add millions or billions to the tax bill. I have great respect for the responsible bureaucrats and great sympathy for the tax payers; I don't want to see either saddled with additional burdens if this can at all be avoided.

9. But the new frontier has one blind spot: It can't see that a tax dollar spent must be a tax dollar earned and collected. It would be helpful if each new spend-ing proposal were accompanied by a revenue-raising proposal. Some who want Uncle Sam to take on enormous new and permanent ex-penditures would be less enthusi-astic If they knew that their per-sonal exemptions for income tax puriwses were to be lowered from $600 to $500 or that their Income tax rate was to be increased from 22 to 28 percent. 10. This brings us to the "forgot-

ten man" on the new frontier, your nhild and mine and all those yet unborn. We have forgotten him but he will remember us. The nation-al debt and the interest payments we increase federal revenue to meet the new expenditures we can only hHH to the anticipated deficit and the present debt. Interest charges for fiscal 1962 will be $8.6 billion. To add to those annual in-terest charges in order to more easily meet our "needs." raises not only social-economic-political questions but a grave problem of morality. Is it morally right to

IT ADDS UP...

No Moral Law, No Moral Living It is utterly amazinR how many people do not know the moral law of God, the

Ten Commandments. Is it any wonder, then, that we have a wave of marital infidel-ity. divorces. Rambling, immorality, desecration of the Lord's Day, and lack of re- . spect fcr authorfty? Is it any wonder that the moral fibre of our society is falling apart? It is the business of ihe Christian church to teach and preach the moral law of God. and to prcach repcntance and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
