Council Sets Tax Rate at 11 Mills At the Village Council meeting Monday night, the village tax rate for 1958 was set at II mills on the equalized valuation, which is an increase of three mills over fhe 1957 rate. Last year some 538 thousand was raised by local taxa- tion but the new millage will in- crease it to an estimated 553 thou- sand. More income is necessary, thei finance committee reported, lie- cause of the decrease in sales tax and other state taxes returned to the village. Nonretiident Water Rates The water rate for customers not living in the village was also boosted by the village council. The new water rate for outside users of the utility will be 100 per cent more than the local rate. Only a few are affected; according to the records only 16 are nonresident customers. The new rate will make the mini- mum for 10 thousand gallons 58 per quarter. For Oakwood Ceme- tery a fiat rate of 51.50 per outlet per quarter or 56 per outlet for a y.oars was established by the coun- cfl. In the past, water has been furnished free to the cemetery.

By Arnold Raaymakers 'Curly* Writes About Rodeos The Rodeo is America's fastest growing sport. Last y e a r there were 13 million paid admissions, and rodeo is getting bigger and better every year. The contestants ih Rodeo are not paid. They pay an entry fee which is added to U»e purse donated by the Rodeo management. If is then split 4 ways to the top 4 men in each event. There are usually 5 or more contests. authority to assign such districts to another larger district. This was done, and I.on-11 wa> assigned one such district in ils nUrety McCabe school. Cannon Ifr; and two in part Thomas ol. Cascade 6fr, and Pearsall :nool Boston 8fr. In the mean- time other closed districts voiun- lailly elected to unite with l/iw-ll Mclntyre, McBride, Star, Valley and Foxes Corner- schools. In other elections, ihe Chase school (Ada No. 13) a n d Gove school (Cascade No. 3» also decided to unite with Lowell, even though they were operating at the time. The Honey Creek school (Ada No. j 41 voted by a close margin not to unMe with l-owell. Because it appears that there will be no more school districts except those including twelve grades, after 1962, many primary districts are requesting annexation to a high school district before it might arbitrarily be assigned to some other district perhaps not of their choice. Legislation already introduced in Lansing on two occasions included a section providing that any pri- mary districts operating after July 1. 1962. shall he treated the same as the closed districts. The Lowell Board of Education has never believed in forcing any schools to close or unite. More- over. it has never encouraged dis- tricts to close. However, the Board feels that it has a professional duty to help pupils secure a high school education especially those attending from districts that have always sent their pupils to I-owell. The Board also feels that if Lowell is to be a going and growing com- munity. that we must continue to be closely associate'', with citi- zen.; in the surrounding areas neople who have always been our friends and co-workers. The Board has felt that it is better to annex districts upon re- quest for annexation (ban to wait until forced to do so by the slate. Accordingly, the following districts, upon having made the request for annexation will vote on becoming a pan of Lowell No. Ifr: River- view. Mapes and Boynton. It is predicted that within two or three years over twenty other districts will request annexation to Lowell. At one time the Lowell schools were serving over fifty primary districts, but- some of these dis- tricts through consolidation (not discussed here), or annexation, have become or will become part of Saranac, Belding. Lake Odessa. Caledonia. Rockford. or Forest Hills (a newly organized district). Another process, or method, of enlarging a district, is through the transfer of properly. All proced- ures. consolidation, annexation, and transfer of property are based upon different and complicated laws. How Affect I-owell? The estimated additional enroll- ment in the Lowell schools, due to all forms of enlargement of the district, has been set at alx)Ut five or six hundred pupils. In general, it is too expensive and not educa- tionally sound, to operate the one or two-room schools, and there- fore additional facilities will have to be provided probably in cen- trally located areas. All districts that have already united with Low- ell are paying, or will pay. the millage to retire the outstanding bonds of this district. All districts to be annexed will be required to help retire the bonds. Some local citizens are asking about the additional levy t h a t might be necessary to issue addi- tional bonds for new construction. Preliminary investigation has re- vealed that an additional bond is- sue of about 5400.000 will be neces- sary to retire 5100.000 in callable Choirs to Present Spring Concert Tonight at 8:30 On May 22 at 8:30 p. m. in Ihe Runciman Elementary Building, ihe Ixnvell choirs under the direc- tion of Miss Ann Bloodgood will present their spring concert.

Council Sets Tax Rate at 11 Mills

At the Village Council meeting Monday night, the village tax rate for 1958 was set at II mills on the equalized valuation, which is an increase of three mills over fhe 1957 rate. Last year some 538 thousand was raised by local taxa-tion but the new millage will in-crease it to an estimated 553 thou-sand.

More income is necessary, thei finance committee reported, lie-cause of the decrease in sales tax and other state taxes returned to the village.

Nonretiident Water Rates The water rate for customers

not living in the village was also boosted by the village council. The new water rate for outside users of the utility will be 100 per cent more than the local rate.

'Curly* Writes About Rodeos

The Rodeo is America's fastest growing sport. Last y e a r there were 13 million paid admissions, and rodeo is getting bigger and better every year.

The contestants ih Rodeo are not paid. They pay an entry fee which is added to U»e purse donated by the Rodeo management. If is then split 4 ways to the top 4 men in each event. There are usually 5 or more contests.

authority to assign such districts to another larger district.

This was done, and I.on-11 wa> assigned one such district in ils

nUrety McCabe school. Cannon Ifr; and two in part Thomas

ol. Cascade 6fr, and Pearsall :nool Boston 8fr. In the mean-

time other closed districts voiun-lailly elected to unite with l/iw-ll Mclntyre, McBride, Star, Valley and Foxes Corner- schools.

In other elections, ihe Chase school (Ada No. 13) a n d Gove school (Cascade No. 3» also decided to unite with Lowell, even though they were operating at the time. The Honey Creek school (Ada No. j 41 voted by a close margin not to unMe with l-owell.

Because it appears that there will be no more school districts except those including twelve grades, after 1962, many primary districts are requesting annexation to a high school district before it might arbitrarily be assigned to some other district perhaps not of their choice.

Legislation already introduced in Lansing on two occasions included a section providing that any pri-mary districts operating after July 1. 1962. shall he treated the same as the closed districts.

The Lowell Board of Education has never believed in forcing any schools to close or unite. More-over. it has never encouraged dis-tricts to close. However, the Board feels that it has a professional duty to help pupils secure a high school education especially those attending from districts that have always sent their pupils to I-owell. The Board also feels that if Lowell is to be a going and growing com-munity. that we must continue to be closely associate'', with citi-zen.; in the surrounding areas neople who have always been our friends and co-workers.

The Board has felt that it is better to annex districts upon re-quest for annexation (ban to wait until forced to do so by the slate. Accordingly, the following districts, upon having made the request for annexation will vote on becoming a pan of Lowell No. I f r : River-view. Mapes and Boynton. It is predicted that within two or three years over twenty other districts will request annexation to Lowell.

At one time the Lowell schools were serving over fifty primary districts, but- some of these dis-tricts through consolidation (not discussed here), or annexation, have become or will become part of Saranac, Belding. Lake Odessa. Caledonia. Rockford. or Forest Hills (a newly organized district).

Another process, or method, of enlarging a district, is through the transfer of properly. All proced-ures. consolidation, annexation, and transfer of property are based upon different and complicated laws.

How Affect I-owell?

The estimated additional enroll-ment in the Lowell schools, due to all forms of enlargement of the district, has been set at alx)Ut five or six hundred pupils. In general, it is too expensive and not educa-tionally sound, to operate the one or two-room schools, and there-fore additional facilities will have to be provided probably in cen-trally located areas. All districts that have already united with Low-ell are paying, or will pay. the millage to retire the outstanding bonds of this district. All districts to be annexed will be required to help retire the bonds.

Some local citizens are asking about the additional levy t h a t might be necessary to issue addi-tional bonds for new construction. Preliminary investigation has re-vealed that an additional bond is-sue of about 5400.000 will be neces-sary to retire 5100.000 in callable

Police Plan Extra Shifts For Holiday

Following the s a m e holiday schedule as In recent years, pass days of all Michigan State Police officers will be cancelled and pa-trol shifts lengthened over the Memorial day week end.

The department also will have t h e senices of 140 National Guardsmen and 110 will be as-signed to sheriffs'.

The State Police Intensified pa-trol schedule will be In effect from noon Wednesday, May 29, to mid-night, June 1. Normal patrol shifts of eight hours will be lengthened to 10 hours.

National Guardsmen will be used on point control and as the second man on two-man patrols, releaslnfe the regular second man (or anoth-er patrol.

Ptimary attention will be given to High accident Areas, particular-ly during the hours of the heaviest flows of traffic.

State Police planes will be used for observation of traff'-: condi-tions.

With Michigan showing a steady reduction in traffic deaths. State Police fire hopeful there will bejpo s'tlbaB^ oyir the IdHg hotyfi}' period.'

There were 17 persons killed dur-ing the 102-hour Memorial holiday period last year, or one every six hours, which was less than the average of one every 5.7 hours for the entire year.

The worst Memorial holiday per-iod was In 1941 when 58 were kill-ed, and the best In 1950 when only four dltd. Part of the difference In the death toll each year Is a t counted lor by the length of the holiday period, which varies ac-cording to the day of the week the holiday falls on.

"The Memorial week end marks the beginning of the summer driv-ing period when more deaths and niore accidents may be expected," said Commissioner J o s e p h A. Childs, "but drivers have been demonstrating that they can do a better job and we earnestly hope they will be unusually vigilant and careful In the heavy holiday traf-fic. It Isn't worth taking a chance when it could mean death."

Farm Cusiness Good Customer For Industry

Michigan's agricultural industry is a good customer for the many products and s e n i c e s of the state's non-agricultural businesses.

Farmers spend a major portion of their yearly receipts /or farm production expenses, point out ag-ricultural econcfnlsts at Michigan State University, who collected the information for Michigan Week ac-tivities, May 4-10. These expenses total nearly 75 per cent of the annual farm receipts -or about $500 million a year.

The Michigan farmer's good standard of living account for a portion of these expenditures. In 1954. the date of the latest agri-cultural census. 98 per ccnt of the state's farms had electricity. 67 per cent had telephones, 45 per

cent had trucks, 88 per cent had autos and 86 per cent had farm tractors.

Some idea of the cash outlays that farmers make for Items pro-duced off the farm Is illustrated by the fact that on the average for 1954-55, they spent $34.5 million for fertilizer: $101 million on the repair and operation of buildings, motor vehicles and other farm ma-chinery; $48 mlUion for such Items as pesticides, electricity, t e 1 e -phones, marketing charges, con-tainers, binding cnaterials, hard-ware, veterinary services, insur-ance premiums and other miscell-aneous Items.

Top these figures off with the fact that farmers are good custom-ers for such durable goods as elec-trical appliances, television and nondurables as clothing and food, and you have a sizeable market in the state's farm population.

Agricultures c o n t r i b u t i o n to Michigan's financial picture amounts to $700 million yearly pro-duction of market crops and pro-duce. livestock and livestock pro-ducts. Of the 139.000 farms in the state, 98,000 are classified as com-mercial farms and 41,000 as part-t 'me or residential farms.

In its development through in-creased technical know-how, agri-culture also has made a significant contribution to Michigan's

N e f c t i p AHivaT to Pre • Schooler

When you walk in the door witJ^ a new baby,- it may seem like a grand entranee to you, but It can be pretty miserable for your pre-schooler. Mrs. Lennah Backus, child development specialist a t Michigan State University, says that it will be some time before your child gets used to his new brother or sister; • •

It is perfectly natural for your child to be jealous of the baby. Up to now, he has been the center erf attention; all your love has been directed toward him. Now he must share both your love and atten-tion—and it's very hard for young children to share anything!

There's ono problem you may run up against—your child hurting the baby. He may not mean tp hurt hkn—It may just be an over-enthusiastic display of affection. Then again, he may know that this is one way to get a "Rise" out of someone. He may be craving the attention which you have neg-lected to give him.

Of course, the child sees the baby as a rival, but you can help him turn his rivalry into his help-fulness. Show him how he can help take care of the baby and show appreciation for the things ho does. He win probably want to hold the baby—let him! He can sit on the floor on a rug or blan-ket, in a large stuffed chair, or in the middle of a bed, and with your supervision the baby will be safe.

Don't overdo your "act like a grownup" approach. If you term everything for which he tempora-rily yeams (like a bottle) "baby ish" and everything that he does-n't want to do "grownup", he will decide that he definitely wants to be a baby! Humor him when he seems to especially want lo be babied. If you don't deny him these experiences, he will soon find that they aren't as much fun as he thought they would be.

terminology of Ihe experts. It slHiiild be noted that a lowing up of the slowdown is not as good as an upturn In the downturn, bui it Is a good deal better than either a speedup of the slowdown or a deepening of the downturn, and does suggest that the climate Is aboui right for an adjustment to the readjustment. - Turning to unemployment, we find a definite decrease in Ihe rate of increase, which clearly shows that there is a letting up of the let-down. Of course, if the slowdown should <pi ed up. the decrease in the rate of Increase of ununploy-ment would turn into an increase in the rate of decrease of employ-ment. In other words, the decelera-tion would be accelerated.

But the indicators suggest rath-er a levelling off, followed by a gentle pickup, then a faster pickup, a slowdown of the pickup, and finally a levelling off again of the pickup. Ai any rate the climate is right for a pickup this season, es-pecially If you a re unmarried and driving a convertible . . . but per-haps our mind is drifting away from our work.

More Resorts to Display HDA Signs This Yeai

More Michigan resorts wil! dis-play the HDA sign this summer than ever before, the Michigan De-partment of Health announced to-day. "HDA" stands for "health department approved."

About 2.200 of the approximately 5.000 resorts eligible for the signs have voluntarily qualified to dis-play them. This number represents an increase of about 200 over the places displaying the sign a year ago.

Tlds is the sixth year that the state and local health depart-ments have offered the HDA sign to motels, tourist cabins and sum-mer resort hotels that conform with stale health standards. In a few counties restaurants also vol-untarily pei^.U&ate In the pro-gram.

To the tourist, the HDA sign sig-nifies th«l the reoort has a safe water supply, good sanitary facili-ties, clean and 9 a J e buildings, and adequate facilities for handling of

Never have we been more pleas-ed with athletic performance than with our boys at the regional track meet. It Is a fine honor to place in a track meet with 14 schools, most of whom are bigger a n d have better facilities. Don Daw-son. Dick Connors. Noel Smith. Ken Spooner and Charlie Ryder will be going to the state track meet Saturday. They may n o t place, but believe me there will be no other boys trying for first any harder—these kids have great hearts.

Jim White and Dick Harris were quite close to making the trip also. They ran the quarter legs on the sprint medley team which placed .fourth. Brian Estes scor d o u r other point in the low hurdles.

During the civil war the south ordered a set of uniforms from a tailor near the battle line. Before they were delivered the north took the town. The commanding officer heard of the uniforms and took \hem to a dyer with instruction to dye the uniforms blue. In the meantime the south took over the town again. The south commander went to the dyer and ordered the blue uniforms faded to gray. "But you can't fade blue unifomis to gray," the dyer exclaimed. "You'd better," said the commander. That night the dyer sneaked out of the town and joined the northern army which proves "Old dyers never fade, they just soldier away."

aro swimming facilities they arc reasonably safe, and the insects, poison ivy and other nuisances are controlled.

The HDA sign is 22 inches wide {jnd 15 inches high with the dis tinctive HDA emblem painted in a green and gold color combination. The letters "HDA" are reflectoriz-ed so they can be seen at night. Resorts usually display the sign near the highway alongside their name sign.

Resort owners can still qualify to display the sign this season by applying to their local health de-partment for details.

Howard Peckham Writes New Book, The War for Independence'

COMING EVENTS Engagement AnrfSOnced

"The War for Independence," a new book by Howard H. Peckham, former citizen of Lowell who will speak at commencement, has just been published by the University of Chicago Press. The book Is a concise military history of the Revolutionary War, which is the latest addition tc the Chicago His-tory of American Civilization ser-ies. "The War for Independenr has a more objective approach than earlier books on the same topic which were marred by chau-v a n l s m - e x t r e m e patriotism.

The New York Times said, "It is fitting that a military history of the war should be written by How-ard Peckham. As director of the William L. Clementi Library at the University of Michigan, he has guided many a writer 's research In the British manuscript collec-tions . , . It is an excellent account of causes, events and results, sup-ported by detailed bibliographical notes.

The big weapon was the will to win, Mr. Peckham relates In the final chapter as he determines the reasons for the American victory. "The answer Is not to be found in material at all. Therefore, It must be l o o k e d for in Intangibles-Ideals, faith, self-sacrifice, deter-mination."

Mr. Peckham summarizes his book by saying, "The American In a ims was a citizen-soldier. He had volunteered because he had an idea of bow his political life should be ordered. He introduced a new concept into w a r : patriotism."

Lowell l ibrarian, Mrs. Vander-Veen, says that this book has been ordered and will be ready for distribution soon.

As announced previously, Mr. Peckham will address the seniors at commencement on the topic, "Asking the Right Question."

UHe Caution Willi Treated Seeds

Many lots of field seeds that have been treated with various poisonous compounds do not bear adequate | warnings so that seeds-men, farmers and the general pub-lic take proper precautions in handling, according to Ihe Michi-gan Depnrtment of Agriculture's seed testing laboratory at Lansing.

Mercurial-treated s e e d grains must bear a "poison treated" label and be stained with a color con-trasting with the natural color of the seed. This makes the treated seed easy to recogni/e should if become mixed with untreated seed entering food or animal food chan-nels, Even so there is a haz-ard because of the fumes given off by mercurials which are vola-tile.

In thr opinion of the chief seed analyst. John f larver , unusual care should be used in handling treated seed, particularly mercurials that can be absorbed through skin con-tact or breathed Into the lungs through vapors in a poorly venti-lated place.

Many seeds likn hybrid com, vegetable seed and small seeded legumes and lawn seeding mix-tures arc often treated with cer-tain sulphur compounds. Although classed as economic poisons, they a re actually not toxic like mer-curials and organic phosphates.

Sulphur compounds are Irritants to many persons, and some per-sons a re highly allergic to them. Better labeling of treated seed to inform persons of the dangers* Is Mr. Carver 's suggestion.

"It appears." said Mr. Carver , " that many seedsmen are failing to fully inform the user to take adequate precaution when using treated seed. Some individuals could suffer a bad reaction from seeds treated with these com-pounds."

Think not so much of what thou hast not, as 'of what thou has t ; but of the things which thou hast, select the best, and reflect how eagerly they would have b e e n sought if thou hast them not —Mar-cus Aurellus.

Church Design Brings Sun to Worshippers

Today's church architect is go-ing fo have to develop a new set of designs for sun worshippers.

So says Dean Philip N. Yout/ of The University of Michigan Col-lege of Architecture and Design.

"Or at least he must plan for audiences which enjoy light more than the dim interiors once asso-ciated with religion," he says.

"There seoms to be a certain theological change in all denomi-nations. Religion has become a cheerful type of activity best car-ried out in sunny surroundings. The auditoriums are flooded with light. The parish houses a re above ground Instead of in crypts or basements under the earth.

"The boom in church architec-ture Is a challenging encourage-ment to the designer. Throughout the country congregations are now building new places in which to worship and meet together.

"The church architect must know both Ihe traditions and the conlemporarv expression of the various faiths. In this field archi-tecture has always been both a symbol and shelter. A good deal of freedom exists today in the inter-pretation of the ritual phase of re-ligion but for that reason it is im-portant that the architect be enough of a student to join with the minister or priest or rabbi in selecting the design elements from the past which should be retained.

"Both the architect and the con-gregation need to meet together often to be sure that the resulting building offers the proper hospital-ity to their faith," Dean Youtz says.

For a Dutch crumb garnish, mix •a cup butter with 'a cup drjl bread crumbs and brown lightly, accord-ing to Anita Dean, foods specialist at Michigan State University. Use Dutch crumbs to garnish vege-tables. Thnt golden brown color and good butter flavor make vege-tables "tickle the taste buds" of most every member of your fami-ly.

Trappinp Is Best ( fo lpher

Mole Control Moles and ground s q u i r r e l s

("gophers") are interesting little animals but they're a real nui-sance when they build their run-ways in lawn areas.

Unfortunately, there is no simple method for controlling moles or ground squirrels, according t o Charles Shirk, extension wildlife specialist at Michigan State Uni-versity.

Trapping, which requires time and patience, has been most ef-fective on small lawn areas. Moles, which spend most of their life be-neath the ground surface feeding on insects and earthworms, must be trapped in their runways. Sev-eral kinds of mole traps for use in runways can be purchased at hardware dealers and garden sup-ply houses.

To be successful in mole trap-ping you must locate the active runways. Moles use some runways more than others and you can usu-ally find the active tunnels by stepping on some of the ridges over the runways. Ridges over the active ones are pushed up again generally within 24 hours.

Put the traps over one or two of the used runways. If a t rap fails to catch a mole in a 24-hour period, re-set it over another ac-tive tunnel.

Ground squirrels who are very industrious eaters, can be trapped just outside the entrances to their tunnels. They spend a lot of t ime running in and out as they feed on many kinds of tender plants, weed seeds, fruits, nuts, insects and earthworms.

Snap traps, the kind used for trapping house rats, have been ef-fective for ground squirrels. Pea-nut butter, rolled oats, barley and possibly other grains a re good baits for catching them, suggests Shick,

Mr. Sammans had an idea. He wanted fo take his tug all the way from Cheboygan to Crooked lake and charge tourists for the trip. Citizens of Petoskey and Cheboy-gan joined forces to back his plan, and. according fo historian Harri-et Kilborn, by 1877 "sightseers by fhe hundreds were taking passage on the Inland Route foi a glimpse of nature in all its untamed splend-or."

The "circle route" was a popu-lar if strenuous flip of the dry . Travelers steamed from Petoskey around the north tip of Michigan fo Mackinac Island and Cheboy-gan. then down the Inland Route to Conway. The six miles back to Petoskey f rom Conway was a

But this is just another chapter of fhe Inland Water Route story, a story which was old when Rome was sacked.

For hundreds of years Indians used this inland passage to avoid the choppy waters of the wind-swept straits. With a handy port-age from Little Traverse Bay to Crooked lake, where the village of Conway now stands (six miles from Petoskey) fhey could move leisurely across Crooked l a k e , through Crooked river. Burt lake Indian river, Mullet lake and the Cheboygan river fo Lake Huron. The country was alive with game and the Indians considered the area something of a health spa and summering place.

They had great faith in the heal-in,, powers of the artesian wafers of the land. And before fhe in-

The Inland Route became a ma-jor tourist attraction, offering the appeal, irresisfable even then, of seeing country which had not changed in a thousand years. Trav-elers poured i n t o Cheboygan. Mackinaw City and Petoskey.

And the fishing was wonderful, according to first-hand accounts which have survived. By 1900 there were 32 steamboats plying these sheltered waters.

Then interest in the Inland Route began to wane. Promotion of the area slowed, foundered and sank of its own weight. Channels filled with sand, sunken logs created sandbars, vegetation choked off and slowed main streams and feed-er creeks.

In 1945 a group of avid boating enthusiasts with nn eye for area tourist promotion in Cheboygan and Emmet counties formed Uie Inland Wafer Route Improvement

Here's How You Can Plan Camping Trips

U a camping or hiking vacation an important part of your plan-for a perf( cl >ummer?

"Your family's list of vacation suggestions may include s u c h items as nn overnight camp, 1 hike, and a cook-out," says W Robert Dixon in 1 IB-page liooklet.

: How to Get the Most from a Family Vacation," recently pub-lished by F K. Compton and Com-pany, Chicago.

"The oosl for this sort of vaca-tion is no| high." he points out. "Your Him problem is fo select an area or a camp site which will satisfy fhe whole family."

According fo die University pro-fessor. there are many [vissibili-ties for this son of family vaca-tion. "There are ideal ramping sites in all the state md national parks. The Director, National Park Service, Washington 25. I) C , ran furnish detailed Information nn the facilities available and the cost at each park,

"After selecting a camping area you must decide what to take. If your family is taking its first camping trip, it will soon discover that 1 great deal of eqnij 'nent is n« eded for a successful venture. These ii< ik are necessary: .knife ax. cooking gear, food, rope, tents, insecticides, first-aid equipment, bedding, ami clothes."

He reminds that Ihe family should be familiar with good health and safely practices. To Increase tin family's enjoyment, a nature study Ih*tk would be of value.

"If fhe family has had no prev-ious experience in camping, plans should l)e made fo go through the camp routine ."•ep by step. This may be done in fhe back yard or by making a practice overnight camp."

Professor Dixon advises that spe-cific assignments be made. "Fach person should understand which equipment he is responsible for. Many of these assignments can be made on fhe basis of interest. How-ever. there is merit in rotating responsibilities. In this way each person will have experience with every phase of camping. Children should be taught to use equipment properly to avoid accidents." he says.

"Many leaders in the field of recreation encourage this kind of family vacation. If the project is well planned, the family will have .111 experience that will lie remem-ered and treasured for a long time. You can have a good time on a camping trip but only if you are properly prepared." he concludes.

Ull) YOU U K K THE DOOR?

A certain businessman wanted an asHstnnt. He hnd two men in view, and the day came for him to make a decision. He called into his office one of the two men. whose name was Smith, and he said. "Mr . Smith, lock the door and sit down; I want fo talk lo you."

After talking to Smith for a few minutes and explaining that he needed an assistant in his fast growing enterprises, the business man hesitated and said to him: "Are you sure you locked that door?"

"Yes. sir, 1 locked if: but I'll go and see if it's locked, ' was Smith's answer. It was locked.

"Very well." said the business man, and dismissed his man.

The Other man he had in view, a Mr. Jenkins, was called in. On entering, Jenkins received t h e same instructions as hail been giv-en to Smith. Then he sa | down and listened.

Suddenly the business man sto|>-ped talking and said to him sharp-ly: "Mr. Jenkins, are you sure

you locked thai fionr''" [ the business man. '"What I need • Yes," answered Jenkin*. ' i s 1 < , , r e o f bimself."

drum for a revival of interest in this historic waterway.

If took II years. Some $.'126,000 in federal, state and local funds was raised. Ihe route was dredged to a five foot minimum, logging deadheads were raised and all channels cut to at least 30 feet.

But the Association is not done. Puffing the Inland Route back on the Michigan tourist map just whetted its appetite. These deter-mined men now have their sights set on a channel dredged through from Crooked lake to Little Trav-erse bay in Lake Michigan. This would allow vessels to cut across the lip of Michigan, lop some 30 miles off the trip around the nor-thern tip and eliminate dangerous shoal waters of the wind-blasted sailing of the straits.

But for the moment fhe Inland Route is confined to a trip from Cheboygan to Conway (or the re-verse! and back. It is a smooth highway of beautv: of lovely lake-side homes crouched at fhe water ' s edge; quiet streams with the frees almost meeting overhead; modern hotel, motel and dockage facilities.

Children, of course, need milk to build strong hones ami bodies. Adults, too, need milk to keep heart muscles and nerves functioning properly, and to rebuild body cells and tissues which are continuously wearing out. Milk also gives I hp body better tone so you feel more vigorous and alert, more cheerful and relaxed.

Milk is important to the community, too, as well as the individual. Much farm income, for example, depends on milk. Local business, in turn, is largely dependent on farm buying power.

A sound and stable market for milk, therefore, is important to everyone. It assures the producer a fair price and the consumer an adequate supply of America's best food value—milk. That is the objective of the 15,500 dairy farmers united in the Michigan Milk Producers Association.

VEGETABLE GROWERS:

Here's a weed-killing

^blankef" that can save

$20 to $90 an acre

on hand-weeding

We cell it Vegadex,® and it works a new way. You only have to npray it on once—at planting time. Vegadex forms an invisible chemical blanker over your soil. Annual grasses—and even some tough weeds like purslane and henbit—sprout, touch the blanket, and

Your vegetables-like celery, lettuce and cole crops—grow through unharmed, with few or no weeds to fight them for sunlight, water and plant food. And, Vegadex won't "build up in your soil.

Vegadex practically eliminates costly hand-weeding. Last year, many vegetable growers saved from $20 to $90 an acre on labor costs by spray-weeding with Vegadex.

Before you plant your next crop, stop by your Monsanto Farm Chemicals Dealer—he'll give you an informative new folder on Vegadex.
