If they have been found anywhere in local attics, drawers, closets or base-ments, 19th century clothing, hats, furuiture and fixtures arc sure to have found their way into the hands of the costume or projis committee of the Lowell Area Arts Council's annual winter play.

"Strange Bedfellows", a comedy set in that straight-laced century, is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

During the first hour of Monday night's meeting, board members faced a stea-dy barrage of comments from parents concerning the mention or dismissal of fifth grade teachcr Dan L'Her-ault.

The middle school choir room, filled to capacity with parents praising, demand-ing, critidzing was in sharp contrast to the usually spars-ley-attended school board meetings. The controversy concerning this Alto Area Elementary fifth grade teacher, his discipline pro-cedures and classroom tech-niques, has plagued the board for over 2Vi months. Feelings are running high in the small community, with few parents staying in the middle. As one parent com-mented, "They seem to eith-er strongly in favor of Dan or decidedly against.'1

The board adjourned to closed session at the end of the meeting to examine doc-uments presented by parents and citizens and returned with a decision that the teacher would stay under strict conditions imposed by the board and administra-tion.

Board President Kropf stressed that all of the com-plaints presented at the meeting had been considered and investigated by the board and administration, the Sheriffs Department, and that other agencies of the Department of Education and county school services found the Board's actions in disciplining the teacher an i corrective measures invoked, appropriate. Kropf advised parents to file complaints first with the teacher, then the principal, then the super-intendent. and then the board, thus giving the school district the opportunity to resolve situations where and when they occur.

Reporting on a Community Survey to be made on Febru-ary 12 and 13. Curriculum Director Rod Smith said 30 volunteei'S would be needed to help conductthe telephone survey. Through the survey, school officials hope to deter-mine the feelings of the com-munity and the support it will give to school programs.

Assistant Principal Dick Korb tactfully suggested Lowell Senior High School's increasing suspensions of fe-males might be tied to our changing society. The school system's concern that its students maintain a high degree of responsibility and self-control is a difficult one. but one which the adminis-tration feels is important to preparation for entering into today's society.

While examining Lowell's scores in the Michigan As-sessment Tests. Gordon Tould commented that the decline in math scores

would L..ng about a recom-mendation from the Curricu-lum Council for a subcommit-tee to study the reasons for the drop in test scores in math.

The Finance Committee's revised budget reflecting re-duced expenditures of $184,-000 was adopted.

HOUSE CALL w OrrVBUCiULTN ^

Protect yourself agpiast the hazards of winter by guarding against frostbite and hypothermia (an ab-normally low body tempera-ture that can kill in just a few hours). Whether ypM'rf out-doors or sitting inside with the theraos ta t lowered, dress properly to prevent your body from losing heat.

Insulate your body with layers pf clothing,, becaaie. thc'dliad'atr apace betwet* the layers forms a buffer. Aa you warm up, remove the outer layer to prevent per-spiring. Remember, perspir-ing Is a cooUag process of the body, aad right now you'ta ' trying to stay warm.

When you're ouhkwn. wear a hat to prevent body heat from esca^ ing and wear mittens, because the fingers

te more heat together • they do separately in

gloves. One outdoors threat in

very cold weather is frost-bite, the freezing of the skin when circulation of warm blood ia insuffideat to coun-teract the cold. It Appears as white blotches on people with light skin and purple blotches hi people with dark skin. There's pain, initially, but H disappears so quickly that you're apt to forget the warning. If you suspect frost-bite. warming the affected parts Immediately is essenti-al. How you do this depends

i W '

generate than tlx

upon wnere you itre, Uf course: but tack your fingers inside your armpits, if you can: and warm your frostbit-ten cheeks with warm palms. Most Important b to go inside as soon as possible if you think there's a problem. If you can't bring the sensa-tion in the frostbitten area, k. see a doctor immediately. D f l n not rub the affected part with-*' snow!

^ COWWafteru^ health not otfly outc also inside, when thermo-stats are turned too low. The hazard in this instance is hypothermia. Older, inactive people are partkularly sus-ceptible to hypothermia.

The condition starts with uncontrollable shivering that disappears as the body tem-perature drops. Walking, and hand manipulation be-come difficult; drowsiness tad sometimes loss of mem-ory and slurred speech occur.

If you detect hypothermia, take the victim to the hospi-tal. if possible, or place him or her in a warm room and feed warm Hquida.

Because frostbite and hy-' pothermia have intldioOs symptoms. It's a good Idea to follow the "buddy system",., Check on each other whether you're indoors or outside, and remember the dangers and precautiona of cold wea-ther. Winter's not so bad, when you know how to protect yourself

Horace 1

Orson Welles is known as a great orator and reader. Dur-ing one of his stage appear-ances, he was asked to read the 23rd Pulm which he did very effectively. Then in oae fashion or another an ekterty pentlcman. who happened to be a pastor, was asked to read the 23rd Psalm, Which he did. The audience was moved, and afterwards someone asked Welles why h was so.

The question went some-thing like this. "You gave the 23rd Psalm effectively, with great beauty, but when the old gentleman read (he Psalm the audience was mov-ed. Why was tha* so? Welles responded. "1 knew the 23rd Psalm, but that gentlenun knew the Shepherd.

And therein lies the thought. Most people in oar country would say that they believed that there is a God. Most of us do aot have aay problem with that. We know deep down inside of oar-selves that there is i God., Moat of us do not have any problem with tha t We know deep down inside ourselves that there is a Supreme Being that is involved in our lives. Just how He is involv-ed in our lives Is the question.

ana to Chicago. We begax talking about the reason foi our traveling and thus we go* into a discussion about reug km. He evrtrtaaHyJoW m* that he believed in God. ty that the God that he 1 in had wound as up, like toy soldier, put us here or earth. The soldier believed that He was watching to sec what kind of lives we would live, and laughed at us wher we got ourselves into mess es. This young soldier believ-ed in God. He was sure their was .a God, but that belie' didn't do much for him. u 1

There is a difference be tween believing and know-ing. The ififference Is that some of us know God. It is the knowing that makes all the difference In the world. With knowing, we establish a personal relationship with God. He gives us a witness that we are His children. We talk with Him and He talks with us. He cares about w h £ happens to us.

A aboat my age had gone to the j hospital for surgery and the j surgery was successful, but she had a fetal blood d o t i talked whlrthe husband and j 1 saw a warm personal rela-tionship to Goo in his life. ~ not only believed in God. he knew God.

LowtlUftch. 897-9348

These days, the pressure is on to return education to the basics of readin'. writin'. and 'rithemetic. According to the recently released statis-tics on this fall's statewide student assessment tests, the readin' is pretty good but ihe 'rittynetic could use some help.

Locally, added emphasis on reading was incorporated into the curriculum about 10 years ago. Lowell Area Schools have reading special*' isis for caeh school, reading centers in each school, em-phasis on individual reading problems of students and a sttund approach to the teach-, ing of reading.

The Michigan Educational

Assessment Program test scores, released last week by the Department of Educa-tion. show Lowell well above the sute average in reading at the 4th. 7th and 10th grade levels.

Math scores for • those grades, however, were below the state average at the 7th and 10th grade level csped-ally.

School officials are com-paring all of the scores to other tests given recently to see if the math problem on the state test also shows up on the other tests. The problem is (hat the statf test was revamped this year and the scores can't be compared tot last year's. The test

change makes it difficult to use the results to upgrade curriculum. The scores can be used as a benchmark for future years.

Saranac Schools District was the only K-12 district in Ionia County to consistently better the state average scores at each grade level. Board of Education members were given a summary of the district scores at their regu-lar meeting last Thursday. Saranae is in a relatively favorable position, exceeding the state average at each of the three grade levels in math and in reading.

In a report to the Board of Education of Lowell schools on Monday night, rite Curri-

culum Council suggested that a subcommittee be form-ed to study the mathematics curriculum in the district and make recommendations.

Do you own a busineas? Your income tax return is probably more cotpplicated than that of .other individuals and there is an svea greater need for keeping good re-cords to support the claims on yom return.

The 1961 salute marks the sixth coaeecutive year Camp Fire has participated in this astkmal service project.

Camp Fire members from die Keewano Council wifl be delivering approximately 1.300 valentiaes aad letters to the Michigan Veterans FacUity ia Grand Rapids at 4 p.m. on February 13th to laiere a v t lwHae wish for an the resideats on the 14th.

ftnoDs planning to enter dairy shows during the com-ing year are reminded that some of the showing dasaifi-cations have been changed.

The nu^or change, as rec-ommended by the Purebred Dairy Cattle Assodatiea. is the change in the base birth date from January-July td< March-September.

Entrants can expect judg-ing at all Michigan fairs, statewide dairy shows, and the dairy shows st MSU to follow the new recommeada-

Show participants who en-~ ter cattle calved in January or July wiU have "short-a g e d " animals. Though theae entries will be at a disadvantage allowances will

usually be made. Even so. these allowances will oot place the partidpants on an evenly competitive basis' those who eater animals shows according to current judging guidelines.

The change in the base date has been advocated for years within dairy circles. Most other states have been using the new base birth date guidelines for several years.

. Detafis of shifts ia dairy cow judging may be obtained by writing to Gale Bnum-gardnerat the Dept. of Dait./ Science. 12S Anthony Hall. Michigan State University. East Laming, MI 48824. or by calling (517) 353-9028.

"Ah. My laat lamb Is home," said the friendly aurae in the nursing home lobby.

h waa after 10 o'clock Christmas eight. The middle-aged son-in-law and his wife had brought her mother - the last lamb—home. Exccpt it really isn't home.

The motker-in-law is 6$, and ailing, and doesn't want to be a bother. She had spent Christmas Day at her granddaugh-ter's home, looking lovely and apologizing for being a bother. Many of the nursing home residents bad gone viaiting for thr holidisy, and the mother-in-law was the last iamb to return that night. On the drive to the big building on the edge of town, they had passed near her real home, which still contains her treasures and memories. She had been too tired to turn and look.

The son-in-law waited in the nursing home corridor while the wife tenderly helped her mother into bed. He listened to cries for aid that came from other lambs in other rooms. He knew it was silly to think of old people as lambs, but the friendly nurse had stuck him with the thought, and he couldn't shake it.

He was impressed by the soft kindness of the attendants who hurried to answer the cries. He lives in a much bigger city where it seems that every day there are articles in the newspapers about old people, living alone in their tiny homes, who have been victimized — robbed, beaten, murdered—by young monsters he could never understand. As a liberal proud of his bleeding, he is opposed to capital punishment, except when he reads these articles. It was nice, on that Christmas night in the nursing home, to be reminded that the world still has much caring kindness for old people.

He thought about his mother-in-law's milkman, Erwin Warren, who has always been one of the kindest people in his town. Through oUny months of the mother-in-law's uncertain health, when she has been gone from her little house, and then back again, and then gone again. Warren has continued to atop there several times a week, just in case she might be home, to make sure she had whatever she needed. One month hit bill was 67 cents.

The mid die-aged son-in-law also thought about his Aunt Madeline, who lives alone but surrounded by friends. In another town. It is difficult for her to get out in winter weather, but the other day she made it to Fred Stanley's market, and she was disappointed thet he had ran out of coleaiftw. her favorite snack. She was back home only a few hours before a young man, dispatched by Stanley, surprised her by appearing at her door with a large supply of coleslaw. No charge. r y . .

Finally, while listening to the poignant sounds of a nursing home on Christmas night, the son-in-law thought about something said a few days earlier by William Cunningham, the Detroit priest who so fervently directs Focus: HOPE, the charitable organization which feeds the hungry snd fights racism. It is likely that, all by himself. Father Cunningham outnumbers the Moral Majority.

At the close of a speech given at a fund-raiser. Father Cunningham talked about the old people who too often become lost. He didn't call them lambs. He called them important, and valuable, and he urged that they not be forgotten by younger people.

"Don't just send them a poinsettia for Christmas." he pleaded. "Visit them. Visit them often and let them know you

. care." Father Cunningham's voice choked as he talked, and his

eyes teared. It was an emotional moment and. as the middle-aged son-in-law relived it in the nursing home corridor on Christmas night, he was keenly aware of how swiftly middle age becomes old age.

And, as he said good night to the mother-in-law who is never a bother, he felt strong gratitude for people like William Cunningham, Fred Stanley, Erwin Warren and the nurse who cared when her last lamb came home, even if it really isn't home.

Weather Word With Motooroioglst KURT SCHMITZ

The 1980 tornado statistic* are in. There were 8S0 tornadoes reported in the U.S.. somewhat more than normal. Bat there were only 28 tornado deaths, which is the second lowest total since records began, and just one away from the record low of 27 set in 1972.

The real story lies behind the statistics. How could the death toD be so low? The biggest reason has to be the increasingly successful watch and warning program. Since the National Severe Storms Forecast Center was created in the Fifties, the trend has been for more tornadoes reported and less deaths. Public awareness seems to be increasing year by year.

The three-step network of trained spotter, National Wathcr Seivice office, and media, id working. That was well demonstrated this year right here in West Michigan. The May 13 Kalamazoo tornado killed only five people, a miraculous figure for a violent storm which ripped through the heart nf a city at rush hour. In Grand la!nttd. Nebraska, a series of twister* on June 3 resulted in but five deaths. On May 12. a twister plowed through SedaHa, Missouri. No one was killed, despite the f a d that it totally dectroyod a trailer park. In all those cases, timely watches and warnings were credited with saving many lives. Maybe we can all cooperate to reduce the 1981 death toll even further.

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY

Roger Kropf

Thanks to the Stoekase Foundation of Grand Rapids, John Ball Zoo's pair of Otters will have a dramatic, new home by September. The Steelcase Foundation an-nounced today a 5150,000 contribution to the Zoo Ex-pension to cover the major

costs of constructing a North Amerkbn Otter Exhibit, one of eight new exhibits in Phase 1 of the Expsnsion.

The Zoo's excellent male and female Otters are now housed in somewhat cramp-ed quarters in the old Special Exhibits, building and will

have greatly expanded swim-ming and den space in the new exhibit.

The Otter exhibit will be centrally located near the main concession stand, just below the bears. Simulated rock formations will be con-structed to allow the Otters to dimb snd dive, and deep wstef will provide an oppor-tunity for their "topsy taivy" swimming, with filtered wa-ter for dear viewing. This filter system will prevent ice fbrmatka, making this an especially popular winter ex-hibit. Visitors will view the Otters openly on all sides, or from s spedal laHce-work area with glass panels for underwater viewing.

The exhibit was designed by renowned zoological ar-chitects, McFadzean, Evferly and Assodates, of Mt. Pros-pect, Iliinoi, who also design-ed 4the overall Zoo Maister Plan. Chief consultant is Dr. George Speidel, Director Emeritus and "creator" of the famed Milwaukee Zoo. Construction will begin by April.

Ou! of eight exhibits slated, for construction by the end of 1982. one is now completed (Children's Barnyard Class-room): four totalling $650,-000 in construction costs now have pledges' sufficient to begin construction: the new Kfonkey Island; the Prairie Dog/Coyote/ Eagle exhibit, which replaoes the old ele-phant quaifen; tho-Puma or Cougar exhibit. wMdi re-places the old eagle cage, mountain lion cage and tim-ber wolf exhibit; and the North American Otter Pool; and three still need contribu-tions: The J a j u a r exhibit; the South American Panor-ama; and the Rerpetarium,
