Sales. $18,928,013; Income be-fore taxes, $264,497; Net in-come, $190,897; Shares outstand-ing. $1,424,142; and net income per share $.13.

The results of operations in-clude those of the C. H. Run-ciman Company acquired in September, 1963. Comparable amounts for the six months ending February 28. 1963, are not included due to the effect of mergers and acquisitions sub-sequently consummated.

The company Is substantially inactive during the winter sea-son and consequently the results of operations for the six months

' ended February 29, 1964, are noi necessarily indicative of opera-ting results on an annual basis.

The heritage of Fallasburg The April meeting of the Ver-

gennes Co-operative Club was held recently at the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Wlnton Wilcox on Bailey Drive,

Following refreshments, Mrs. Bruce Tower. President of the club introduced the speaker; George Mueller of the Kent County Park Commission.

Mr. Mueller reviewed the re-cent acquisition of additional acreage by the Park Commis-sion for the expansion of Fallas-burg Park along the east bank of Flat River north of the cover-ed bridge. Negotiations are be-ing completed with the Lowell School District for the old Fal-lasburg one room school building and grounds.

Interest in Fallasburg Heritage has been growing recently through the steadily increasing number of visitors to the area, particularly the Old Covered Bridge.

Mr. Mueller expressed hope that the eventual outcome for Kent Co. will be reconstruc-ted Fallasburg Village similar to Greenfield Village at Dear-bom, Michigan. In 'act, plans a r e now being drawn for the s tar t of such a {.reject.

According to available re-cords. the first white settler to make his home in what Is now Fallasburg arrived in 1837, while Lowell was still an Indian Vil-lage. He was John Wesley Fallass. about twenty five years old from near Ithaca, New York. Several months later a brother. Silas S. Fallass, a doctor, arrived and settled on a fa rm a half mile west of Flat River.

Between 1845 and 1850 another brother, two sisters and their parents came to the settlement which by then became known a s Fallassburg. In later years one S was dropped from the spelling.

In a few years the village

S»w to about two hundred In-bitants according to Edwin Fallas whose father and mother and seven children, came from Dryden, New York in 1845 in a covered wagon. The village was most prosperous between 1850 and 1856. The principal indus-try was lumber.

The sawmill, operated by water power, was erected in 1839 by a Mr. Hecox. It was a three story frame building, housing a chair factoiy on the third floor. The gristmill was also a three story building, built in 1840 by John W. Fallass. There were also two general stores, two shoe and hamess shops, two blacksmith shops, a public school, a private school, a Post

Office and about eighteen dwell-ings.

The old stage coach route from Ionia to Grand Rapids passed through the village. Alwut 1856 the surveyors located the old D & M railroad now the Grand Trunk through Lowell which terminated the growth of Fallasburg and it gradually dim-inished in size until today only a few of the original buildings remain.

The first bridge to span the Flat River was built in the spring of 1839 and was replaced by a second bridge in 1844. This bridge survived for five years and was followed by a third built in 1849. This one was constructed of hardwood and consisted of two spans with a wooden center pier and abut-ments, on which was laid a plank floor just wide enough to accommodate a single horse drawn vehicle. Timber railings on each side defined the limits of the roadway.

The fourth bridge was primar-ily a reconstruction of the third bridge built in 1860 by Jared N. Brasee and lasted unt'l the spring flood of 1871 when an ice jam damaged the center pier and the bridge collapsed.

Early in the summer of 1871 work started on the present structure. Jared N. Brasee and Company was the builder. It was constmcted of white pine grown near Greenville, and floated down Flat river. The original abutments were of timber. The superstructure is a single span one hundred feet long, of the familiar lattice work design. The roadway is fourteen feet wide between trusses and twelve feet high from floor to top chord bracing. It is house with a peak-ed roof and vertical plank sides to keep out rain and snow to prevent rotting.

The original cost of this bridge was $1,500.00. In Janu-ary of 1945 the Kent County Road Commission replaced the abutments with concrete and otherwise strengthened the brid-ge at a cost of $3,000.00. It is the only timber bridge In Kent County still being used by ve-hicular traffic.

Present plans call for a re-constructed mill, a museum, a country store, the restored country school, a r t s and craft shops and other authentic at-tractions to preserve the Heri-tage of Fallasburg. This could become the outstanding tourist attraction in West Michigan with a potential of many thousands of vlstors each year. It Is hoped that Lowell and surrounding cities will place highway signs directing interested tourists to Fallasburg.

The Arrows took a 2 to 1 lead into the 7th inning in the first game and then the Bull-dogs leveled a 4 run blast at Lowell's pitchers Bill Bouck and John Briggs to wrap up the game. Paul Kropf and Russ Videan hurled the first 6 inn-ings for Lowell yielding 1 run on 3 hits.

The Arrows made the most of a double and a s i n g l e by Mac Mclver and a double by Abe DeYoung to score throe runs.

The second game was anoth-er hard fought pitcher's battle. Ionia took a 1 run lead In the second Inning against starting

Sltcher Mel Byrne, then Mac [elver and John Briggs held the Bulldogs scoreless the rest of the way. The Red Arrows scored In the 5lh inning to tie the game on a walk to Mel Byrne and a double by Chuck Anderson.

The Lowell team won the game In the 8th inning on a single by Mike Bereln. a field-er 's choice, a walk tc Steve Collins, and an error.

Ask to write Methodist book

Clifford Edwards, assistant professor of religion at Wesley-an College, has been asked by the Joint Section of Education and Cultivation of the Methodist Board of Missions to prepare a study book.

The book will be published in the next year and will be used by Woman's Society of Chris-tian Service and Bible study groups of the Methodist Church throughout the country.

Edwards ' book, which will en-tall a study of the Books of James and First Peter, will deal with Christian ethics. He has suggested as a possible title, "Christian Being and Doing."

Approximately 100,000 copies of this book will be printed for use In the future study courses.
