Bookstores Report Brisk Sales "Welcome to Thebes," the new novel by former Lowell resident, Glendon Swarthout, has drawn considerable attention recently in national news magazines and has also been selling well in several Grand Rapids bookstores. Recent issues of both Time and Newsweek have carried reviews of the novel, which is of interest to Lowell area rcadei-s in that it is purported to be concerned with Lowell people and events of the 1930's. In a review which is little more than a plot synopsis. Time Mag- azine, In Its June 8 issue, takes the book to task for reading "like a parody of a bad translation of Homer" and suggests that Swart- hout "should have stayed with the boys in Fort Lauderdale" rather than take "a giant step Into Greek tragedy." "Greek grandeur," Time points out, "is not duplicated by a set- ting In Thebes (Mich.) or Greek name-dropping." "CreaUve Diarrhea" In a more thoughtful review, a recent issue of Newsweek Mag- azine suggests that, because "he has invention to spare, fantasy to bum, comedy to throw away," Swarthout seems to be suffering from "a kind of diarrhea of the creative prucess" and "a lack of Lowell Showboat Holds Annual Hunt For Amateur Acts Directors of the 1962 Lowell Showboat are again seeking ama- teur entertainers from all parts of Michigan to participate in the an- nual Showboat Talent Night, Sat- urday, July 14. An expected crowd of 6,000 peo- ple will view the event, which will begin promptly at 7 p.m. at the Showboat stadium in Lowell. Six amateur acts will be chosen to appear with the professional performers which each year head- line the Lowell Showboat cast. One amateur act will come down the river with the boat each night during the Showboat's six-night run, July 23 through 28. Preliminary auditions for the an- nual talent contest will be held In the afternoon of July 14 at the Runclman Elementary School. Of the total number of acts audition- ing, approximately 35 will be se- lected by the amateur night com mittee to appear in the evening contest, during which time impar- tial judges from the entertainment world will name the six winning acts. Amateur entertainers Interested in seeking a berth on the 1962 Lo- well Showboat are urged to con- tact the Amateur Night Commit- tee, Lowell Showboat, Lowell, Michigan, for further Information and entry blanks. imaginative and verbal discipline.' Newsweek does point out that "throughout there is much acute character drawing," but adds that "there is also the recurrent sense that Swarthout is loo lurid and blatant in lone, too ornate in language, and too ingenious in conception." Prof, Perkham Comments In a letter responding io Ally. Gerald Henry's review o f the novel, published in a recent issue of the Lowell Ledger, Prnf. How- ard Peckham of the William L. Clements Early Americana Library at the University of Michigan echoed the Newsweek sentiment by saying that "(Glendon) is still somewhat inclined to rely on violence and sensationalism. It seems to me. to hold his readers." Peckham, in contrast with the Newsweek reviewer, however, feels that Swarthout "has a good ear, and his novel of Cordura had a clean, taut style. I think he may yet turn out a significant novel over and above a Hollywood property. "He told me," Peckham added, "he got 5250.000 for •he movie rights to 'Cordura,' payable In ten annual Installments." Peckham. also a former Lowell resident and author, has to his credit several books on the Ameri- can revolution, the colonial wars, and Pontiac. brought out recently by the University of Chicago Press. Book Sales Brisk In telephone conversations with three Grand Rapids department stores T«iesday, the Ledger office discovered that Swarthout's book is selling rapidly. Steketee's book department re- ported that their supply of "Thebes" Is presently sold out, though more copies of the novel are on order. The book depart- ment spokesman also added that the book is available in the store's lending library, where a long wait- ing list of borrowers has develop- ed. Herpolshelmer's reported irwt, of the dozen copies they had ?n stock, all but one has been sold, "which is unusual for a book of that nature." Wurzburg's. which stocked over 100 copies of the book, said that it has been selling "unusually well." with almost two-thirds of their supply already gone. The novel retails in all three stores for $4.95.

Fellow Lowell Author Comments

"Thebes" Draws National Attention; G. R. Bookstores Report Brisk Sales

"Welcome to Thebes," the new novel by former Lowell resident, Glendon Swarthout, has drawn considerable attention recently in national news magazines and has also been selling well in several Grand Rapids bookstores.

Recent issues of both Time and Newsweek have carried reviews of the novel, which is of interest to Lowell area rcadei-s in that it is purported to be concerned with Lowell people and events of the 1930's.

In a review which is little more than a plot synopsis. Time Mag-azine, In Its June 8 issue, takes the book to task for reading "like a parody of a bad translation of Homer" and suggests that Swart-hout "should have stayed with the boys in Fort Lauderdale" rather than take "a giant step Into Greek tragedy."

"Greek grandeur," Time points out, "is not duplicated by a set-ting In Thebes (Mich.) or Greek name-dropping."

"CreaUve Diarrhea" In a more thoughtful review, a

recent issue of Newsweek Mag-azine suggests that, because "he has invention to spare, fantasy to bum, comedy to throw away," Swarthout seems to be suffering from "a kind of diarrhea of the creative prucess" and "a lack of

Lowell Showboat Holds Annual Hunt For Amateur Acts

Directors of the 1962 Lowell Showboat are again seeking ama-teur entertainers from all parts of Michigan to participate in the an-nual Showboat Talent Night, Sat-urday, July 14.

An expected crowd of 6,000 peo-ple will view the event, which will begin promptly at 7 p.m. at the Showboat stadium in Lowell.

Six amateur acts will be chosen to appear with the professional performers which each year head-line the Lowell Showboat cast. One amateur act will come down the river with the boat each night during the Showboat's six-night run, July 23 through 28.

Preliminary auditions for the an-nual talent contest will be held In the afternoon of July 14 at the Runclman Elementary School. Of the total number of acts audition-ing, approximately 35 will be se-lected by the amateur night com mittee to appear in the evening contest, during which time impar-tial judges from the entertainment world will name the six winning acts.

Amateur entertainers Interested in seeking a berth on the 1962 Lo-well Showboat are urged to con-tact the Amateur Night Commit-tee, L o w e l l Showboat, Lowell, Michigan, for further Information and entry blanks.

imaginative and verbal discipline.' Newsweek does point out that

"throughout there is much acute character drawing," but adds that "there is also the recurrent sense that Swarthout is loo lurid and blatant in lone, too ornate in language, and too ingenious in conception."

Prof, Perkham Comments In a letter responding io Ally.

Gerald Henry's review o f the novel, published in a recent issue of the Lowell Ledger, Prnf. How-ard Peckham of the William L. Clements Early Americana Library at the University of Michigan echoed the Newsweek sentiment by saying that "(Glendon) is still somewhat inclined to rely on violence and sensationalism. It seems to me. to hold his readers."

Peckham, in contrast with the Newsweek reviewer, however, feels that Swarthout "has a good ear, and his novel of Cordura had a clean, taut style. I think he may yet turn out a significant novel over and above a Hollywood property.

"He told me," Peckham added, "he got 5250.000 for •he movie rights to 'Cordura,' payable In ten annual Installments."

Peckham. also a former Lowell resident and author, has to his credit several books on the Ameri-can revolution, the colonial wars, and Pontiac. brought out recently b y t h e University of Chicago Press.

Book Sales Brisk In telephone conversations with

three Grand Rapids department stores T«iesday, the Ledger office discovered that Swarthout's book is selling rapidly.

Steketee's book department re-p o r t e d that their supply of "Thebes" Is presently sold out, though more copies of the novel are on order. The book depart-ment spokesman also added that the book is available in the store's lending library, where a long wait-ing list of borrowers has develop-ed.

Herpolshelmer's reported irwt, of the dozen copies they had ?n stock, all but one has been sold, "which is unusual for a book of that nature."

Wurzburg's. which stocked over 100 copies of the book, said that it has been selling "unusually well." with almost two-thirds of their supply already gone.

The novel retails in all three stores for $4.95.

Michigan Fanners Would Suffer Under New Crop Control Legislation

Contreisman ferry Ford

The majority leadership of the House of Representatives decided to postpone until Tuesday of this week action dn the omnibus farm bill (H.lt.11222) originally schedul-ed for consideration last week. It became obvious a week ago that the Administration d'd not have the votes to pass the bill. More time was needed to line up support among Democrats for this drastic regimentation on the farm-ers of America. I know of no Republican member of the House who intends to vote for this legis-lative monstrosity.

The bill squeezed out of the Committee on Agriculture by a vote of 18 to 17 with one pro-ponent publicly stating he would oppose the bill on the floor of the House. This is especially signifi-cant when we note that the Demo-crats control the Committee 21 to 14.

While this bill Is not identical to Secretary Freeman's proposals presented earlier this ye«r as H.R. 10010 which I discussed in my newsletter of March 7. It is the Administration's plan for ex-panding the power of the Federal bureaucracy over American agri-culture and further destroying the rights of farmers to use and en-joy their farms. It is not a bill which I can support.

In this limited space it is im-possible to list all the specific weaknesses and injustices of this bill. I do want to mention some objections which are of special Interest to Michigan and to small-er, family-type farmers every-where:

1. The wheat grown in Michigan does not contribute to the wheat surplus, yet the bill applies strict controls and further cuts In acre-age to Michigan wheat. Michigan produces soft white and soft red winter wheat which Is not In sur-plus. But the same restrictions are proposed for Michigan pro-ducers of this wheat as for those who grow hard red winter wheat which while accounting for 52

percent of th« total wheat grown in the U.S. In the past decade made up over 93 percent of the total wheat accumulated by the Government as surplus.

2. Michigan Is a state of small wheat farms. Irt 1960 over 84 per-cent of our wheat-producing farms grew 15 acres or less. In that year there were only 64 farms in Michigan with more than 100 acres of wheat. In the words of the minority report, "this bill Is probably the most harsh and vin-dictive measure ever aimed at the small wheat farmer. He Is flag-rantly discriminated against In voting and In marketing." In order to vote in the wheat referendum the wheat grower with 15 acres or less must agree in writing to comply with the farm acreage allotment. If he doesn't promise and doesn't vote, he is still sub-ject to severe penalties for over-planting his assigned acreage. Furthermore, any producer who d e c i d e s to come under the "small farm exemption" provided in the bill loses his right to sell wheat for food or for export. This is "perhaps the most unfair pro-vision of all" according to minor-ity members of the Committee.

3. The Minority Report a l s o shows that these small wheat growers will suffer a loss In In-come of $107 million a year If the bill passes. Under present law a grower with an allotment of 15 acres or less may plant the lower of 13% acres or the highest plant-ed acreage in 1959, 1960, or 1961. He may sell his wheat In the open market for a price fairly close to the price support - for 1962 about $2 a bushel.

Under Sec. Freeman's bill the 13% acre exemption will end and the small farm base acreage will be the 1957-61 average. Any farm-er who plants above his allotment will not be eligible for price sup-ports and will not get a certifi-cate to sell wheat for food or ex-port, These small producers would get about $1.40 per bushel, or 60 cents less than In 196?. This will mean a loss of nearly $11 million in Michigan where about 60 per-cent of the farms used the ex-emption provision In 1960. It Is truly regrettable that the New Frontiersmen can only suggest further bureaucratic control with accompanying penalties as the way out for small producers.

4. The bill relmposes acreage allotments and marketing quotas on corn, oats, rye, barley, and grain sorghum even though they have been proved unworkable in the past and about 80 percent of these grains are feed to animals on the farm where produced. Moreover, severe civil penalties (fines) would be imposed ior violations of the quota limitation ordered for each farm.

5. The referendum open to all larger producers and certain small farmers gives them thechoice of accepting price supports and pro-duction controls or nothing at all equivalent of l-3rd billion bushels of feed grains dumped on the market. This makes a mockery of the referendum process. Under the Kennedy-Freeman farm bill the farmer's choice In the voting booth Is between pressure bureau-cratic regi-nentatlon or financial ruin. One can honestly ask- Is this a free choice in our Ameri-can system?

6. As in the case of wheat, thousands of small farmers will not be eligible to vote In the feed grains referendum unless they pip-mlse to comply with the acreage allotment, but in any event they are subject to penalties (fines) for overplantlng their assigned acreage.

T h i s brief description gives some indication of the degree of regimentation suffered by U.S. farmers and the power of bureau-cratic authority over the lives of small producers. TIm; new bill will compound the evils.

WE LOVE A B A R G A I N . . . just like anybody else. But even though we're as careful as the most efficient housewife, our sup-ply purchases tally up to quite an

annual figure. In 1961, for example, Michigan Bell's shopping bill-together with that of the Western Electric Company, the Bell System's supply unit—came to almost $58 million. We spent this with more than 1/400 businesses in 160 communities throughout the state. So these purchases not only go to provide you with good telephone service; they contribute to the growth of Michigan's economy.

n m i U M A R k g Worried about your bir thmark

becoming cancerous? Don't, for the chances are so

remote that cancer will develop, it is not worth worrying about, s t r t es Dr. E. Richard Harrell, professor in the dermatology de-partment al TI.e University of Michigan.

He says bir thmarks fall into two categories: the mole and the blood vessel tumor. The l a ^ e r is subdivided into three major types:

The 'cavernous bir thmark ' w h r h is located deep in the skin and usually involves veins. This type of birthmark often displaces a large area of skin.

The "portwin s ta in" is a perfect-ly flat mark, bluish to purplish in color, but not close to the skin's surface. This one is most likely to "persist throughout life and is of-ten found on the face and neck," the U-M dermatologist said.

Some bir thmarks disappear of their own accord. For instance the s trawberry that "develops in in-fants, if left untreated, will un-doubtedly go through spontaneous, natural healing," Dr. Harrell said. It is the cavernous mark that of-ten requires surgical t reatment , especially if it assumes a very largo size. But the chances of any bir thmark becoming cancerous is "exceedingly remote ."

Capturing That Vacation In .Pictures

By Your 8.C.D. Directors DONALD KLINE, 8.C.8. Editor

John DeMull, Nelson Twp., show-ed a good interest in the conser-vation management of his 120 acres on coan St. as we assisted him with his soil and water con-servation plan May 3rd.

John likes alfalfa-brome hay and pasture for his saddle horses. He keeps an average of 45 head a t the farm the year around. His brood mares "rough it" even in winter. Alfnlfa-brome is carried to them in three wooded areas. Mares come through in good flesh and get little if any grain.

Registered quar ter horses make up most of the brood stock. Market demand calls for a cross mares. John finds that he gets good conformation and a gentle' dispositioned animal from this cross. Grassed waterway estab-lishment, hay and pasture renov-ation, and livestock watering de-velopment a re major Items in his conservation farm plan.

Mr. & Mrs. John Miller, Clarks-ville, N. E. District cooperators, showed much Interest in the re-vision of their conservation f a r m plan for their f a rm In Lowell Twp.

New U.S. 96 took a 300 foot wide strip out of their original 160 acres at the south edge of Pra t t Lake. Par t s of two fa rms were added north of the highway. 60 acres in Bostop Twp. were also Included in their new maps.

Their new conservation f a r m plan Includes pasture renovation on man-made land where fill dirt was used for the new expressway and new pasture clearing and seeding north of the road. The better quality wooded land in this area will be fenced off and kept a s a permanent wood-lot.

Walter and Donald Bergy, top conservation f a rmers in Ionia in Ionia County, operate the Miller farm.

We suggested the spraying of yellow rocket in late fall to erad-icate this pest In pasture fields.

Mrs. Miller mentioned that many hours had been spent, pulling and

..[•digging this weed, when they lived on the fa rm.

Neighbor Er ic Strands conserv-ation f a r m plan, has been revised to include 77 acres added from the Wieland fa rm. The Strand's now own only 33 acres north of 52nd St. N N

Tile drainage, minimum tillage, the plow down of green manure cover crops, and liberal amounts of poultry manure enabled Er ic to grow 100 bushel corn crops.

Glen Converse, now Ionia Con-servationist, originally assisted these folks with their conservation planning.

In focusing, Icarn how to judte the distance between you and vour subject, by asing a rangefinder or.by guessing closely. Re-membet to set the aperature in relation to the shutter speed. A moving subject should get less time than a.stationary one. the faster the move-ment, the faster the shutter Ipeed, and the big-ger the light opening (aperature). Try getting teal close to your subject, so d o t e that you may even cut into it a little with the edge of your viewfinder (top left). This will bring out the thing you- want to show in clear detail and crop unimportant background. Take pictures of

purchased a run-down abandoned sand f a rm which cornered on Pine Lake in Nelson Twp.

Today Is found an at tract ive and well cared for, summer religious training camp for Kent County boys and girls.

The one Unie f a rm land, made up mostly of Class 5, 6, and 7 as toland use capability, now now shows much better land use. Mancelona sand, and Rubicon and soil types now grow good Red Pine, White Pine, Jack Pine and White Spruce. White pine have reseeded themselves In the wood-lot. Wildlife shrub plantings have been used. 16 acres of the 80 acres are used for buildings and recreational areas.

Our congratulations to the Ver Lees and to all the folks who have helped them as conservat-ionists of young people and of the land. Mr. Ver Lee, now retired from Bell Telephbne Co., gives most of the credit to his wife, who he says, "Kept prodding m e . " She helped with the tree planting six years ago.

* • • L. C. Bestrom and Son, Cascade

Twp., excellent dai ry f a rmers for many years, have used minimum tillage for five years. They like the results. Their heavy clay loams show less erosion and bet-ter tilth and soli structure has generally made easier plowing.

The Bestroms' used, wheel track planting on 22 of their 32 acres of com this year. June 13th we found a full stand with few If any weeds In the wheel track planted fields. Haying was in full swing. However the corn won't have to be cultivated for another two weeks.

"Minimum tillage. Is the only answer to better crop production

on my light soils," declares Keats Rasmussen, Spencer Twp. cooper-ator. " I now have less erosion and get better weed control," says Keats. Rasmussen's father, How-ard, had the original conservation plan, number 83, which was made in 1949. The father , now deceased, was a good friend of former agricultural agent, K.K. Vlnlng and his son was named a f t e r Mr. Vlnlng.

The Ross Flsk farm, Spencer Twp., presents a greatly Improved appearance along with a lower cost of crop production since the Flsks became District Cooperators.

150 acres of field strips, mini-mum tillage and the use of com-mercial fertilizer analysis which fit the soil and crop needs have made the difference, Ross feels.

Conservation f a rmers generally are efficient f a r m managers .

John Postma, Cascade Twp. co-operator, likes his two field diver-sions which divert run-off on one field on Snow Ave. Erosion has been stopped. Grassed waterways now gradually carry heavy rains away. Here too minimum tillage allows. better moisture penetration with more moisture stored which crops use later in the season.

Our rnmpl imenk to Lewifi D. Good, lumberman and t ree fa rmer of Caledonia. Lewis has practiced conservation forestry and reform estation for many years on his extensive acreage along the Thom-apple River. His mill and dry kiln are located a t Dutton.

As we walked over his land to complete his conservation plan, Mr. Good pointed out his experi-mental plantings of tulip poplar. Western pines and spruce and Chinese and English Walnuts.

Important notice to drivers regarding:

the UNINSURED MOTORIST For 5 years the

has offered his policyholders coverage that pays for both property damage and bodily injury loss caused by the un-insured, irresponsible motorist

This coverage can be added to any Citizens' private passenger car policy for just $7 per year. If the policyholder is involved in an accident caused by an uninsured, irresponsible motorist who cannot pay for his liability, Citizens' will take care of its policyholder's damages the same as if the motorist were actu-ally insured. Ordinarily no deductible applies, the loss is covered from the first penny up. And this coverage not only protects in ordinary cases but covers if the uninsured driver is from out-of-state, and in cases of hit-and-run, excepting only that a fifty dollar deductible applies to property damage in the case of hit-and-run.

While this saves our policyholders from loss, i t does not absolve the uninsured driver from his rightful responsibility; for Citi-zens' goes on to pursue the claim through all legal means.

the Michigan Department of Health last fall and were given special training in topical sodium fluorde treatment from health department Dentistry Division consultants dur-ing the school year.

This week the students are at-tending a two-day orientation pro-gram conducted by the Dentistry Division at Ann Arbor in which they are receiving intensified In-struction in the program techni-ques and procedures prior to head-ing for their assigned communi-ties.

The first day of the program is Monday, June 18. It will continue throughout the summer months.

Each student is assigned a com-munity which has requested the topical fluoride program. Depend-ing on the number of children to be treated, a student may spend the entire summer In one com-nunity cr move about from com-munity to community.

Between 40 to 44 thousand child-m, ranging in ages from three to thirteen, will receive the pro-tective benefits of the topical sod-ium fluoride treatments this sum-mer.

While not as effective as the protection afforded by drinking fluoridated water, it has been found that the incidence of new tooth decay can be reduced by as much as 40 percent when a two percent solution of sodium fluoride is applied directly to the surfaces of children's teeth.

LIBRARY SERVICE TO BUND

"Michigan Isn't meeting its ob-ligation to provide good library service to some 12,000 blind per-sons In tho state," Miss Gene-vieve M. Casey, state librarian, says.

Chief reasons cited by Miss Casey ar poor housing and lack of professional staff at the State Library for the Blind In Saginaw.

"The State Library for the Blind is supposed to serve all the blind in Michigan with the cxcoptlon of Wayne county, which Is served by the Wayne County library. Yet to-day we are able to provide lib-rary service to only 600 of 12,000 blind outside Wayne County simply because we haven't the profession-al staff and tho library is In miserable quarters in a basement at tho Michigan Industries for the Blind in Saginaw."

"It 's not that he bind in Mlch-gan don't want <o tread. It 's smply that we haven't the moans to provide service. Cramped quart-ers has sever'y limited the size and scope of tho library collection. There Is a backlog of over 100 requests from blind readers who have been waiting from one to five years for service! Although books for the blind arc supplied free of charge by the federal government, the State Library can-not accept them because of lack of space and professional help to administer them. We cannot house the books and machines so urgent-ly needed in the dark basement quarters-so dark that flashlights have been Issued to staff members so they can find materials on the shelves."

"Professional h e l p is sorely needed to bolster the present staff of t h r e e non-professional em-ployees who cannot be expected to offer reading guidance and service needed."

In light of this urgency for new quarters and a larger staff, the Michigan State Board for Li-braries has asked the legislature for 520,000 in its 1962-63 budget request
