a TV JiL JL VOLUME 62, NUMBER 45 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN-THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1969 SECTION A SIXTEEN PAGES ! ; E FROM THE If you rank football coaches by the won-lost record, John Bifoss was a loser in Cass City. But when my son is old enough to participate in organized school sports, I hope some- where along the line he comes in contact with another John Bifoss. I'd be trusting that when he does some of the coach's dedi- cation, principle, integrity and love of the game would brush off. Yes, and some of his guts, too. Because it took a lot of it to do what the soft-spoken ex- grid coach did last week in Cass City. At any time including the Tuesday morning after he was fired, Bifoss could have an- nounced that he was quitting as head football coach. . . but he WASN'T QUITTING (voluntarily) and he refused to slide out gracefully to save face. And while the howls of the Saturday morning quarterbacks often reached a crescendo in the losing grid seasons, even the most vocal never, ever said that as a man, Cass City's coach didn't rank with the finest. But he was a loser. The complaints that flooded into the school and to the board members individually all said essentially that Cass City was better than its record ... the coach was not getting the most from the material. He was a loser. High school, college or the pros, it's always the coach that is the whipping boy for poor teams. But was it the poor coach or the poor material? Certainly, Cass City does not have the fastest, strongest, biggest team in the league. But is the talent as poor as the record? It's an academic question. Cass City has been a loser for so many seasons now that local fans are starved for a winner. Perhaps a new man can take next year's grid squad and im- prove the record. . .perhaps not. Perhaps John will return to Cass City to teach, perhaps not. You wonder why he bothers when you read about the coaches that are deserting the tension- filled field of sports for the relative ease of the classroom. Coaches like Claude Marsh, who at Bad Axe set all kinds of records with one top ranked team after another. . . or like Mike Yedinak, who has been reported considering quitting at Alpena . . . the same Mike Yedinak who is still conjured whenever the best of Cass City's coaches of the past are mentioned. These men were winners. . . Bifoss was a loser. Why con- tinue? Simply the love of the game and the thrill of working with the boys, the coach said last Tuesday. A loser, but not a quitter. Following the same strict code that wouldn't allow him to "resign" under pressure, he outlines his plans for the future quietly and directly. He will continue coaching and he will leave if another coach- ing post opens at another s chool. If not, he'll presumably be back at Cass City teaching and coaching in a capacity other than varsity football. When John Bifoss was fired, a loser came out a winner. area in drive A door-to-door campaign by the Cass City Methodist Youth Fellowship Saturday, Mar. 1, is designed to help patients at Caro State Hospital, it was announced this week by Mrs. Gary Anderson, chairman of the drive. Mrs. Anderson reported that the youth will be asking for books suitable for children through the seventh grade. Pic- tures and large print are desir- able, Mrs. Anderson explained. Besides the books, toys, play- ing cards, jewelry and games are needed. Homeowners missed in the campaign are asked to call 872- 3897 for pick-up of items suit- able for the project. ROBERT STRONG, LANSING game biologist for the Michi- gan Department of Conservation^ announced the department's proposal for an antlerless deer hunt in Thumb area counties,. Left to right include Jim Geilhart of the local conservation district, Joe Lamb, District Nine Secretary of United Con- servation Clubs, Robert Strong of the Department of Con- servation, and George Lapp, President of the Cass City Sportsmen's Club. Biologists propose antlerless deer kill An announcement fro man as- sistant game biologist, Robert Strong of Lansing, that the "antlerless" deer season might be opened brought a storm of protest from a District Sports- man club meeting in Cass City, It would be the first time in history does would be legally shot in Thumb area counties. The proposal has yet to be adopted by the Michigan Con- servation Commission. The majority of the 40 mem- bers of District Nine of the Michigan United Conservation Club balked at the proposal made by Strong of the Michigan Department of Conservation. District Nine includes area sports, outdoors, and gunclubs. A Chronicle poll taken after meeting discussions asked the question, "Are you in favor of, opposed to, or neither towards the proposal of establishing an antlerless season in the Thumb area this fall?" The results were 21 "against", 8 "for", 3 "neither". Asked his reaction to the poll, Strong said, "This is to be ex- pected." District nine members were nearly unanimous in opposition to the proposal. District sportsman officers stressed fear that a high number of permits would be issued. Most sportsman officers sanctioned "a hundred or so." Strong said the Conservation Department did not yet know how many permits would be issued. Jim Geilhart of the district conservation office, said 30 to 40% of the permits are normally filled in a hunting season. Strong said justification for the "antlerless" take was not based upon food supply. There was adequate food supply in the Thumb area for the present deer herd, he said. The justification is based on the "car kill", Strong said, as well as the new proposed bound- ary system for the doe permits. It's better the hunter get the deer, than the car, he said. Last year's boundaries for doe hunting surrounded con- centrated deer populations. This year, "antlerless" hunting, applied to most of the State. With downstate hunters more Related stories and pictures on page 5 dispersed throughout the State, the game biologist contended hunting would be more "equit- able" and would allow more effective enforcement of the law preserving the rights of the legal season hunter. Also, he said, deer herd man- agement in Michigan and in other states has kept deer herd numbers in line with a balanced food supply. This produced higher annual hunting yields, he said. But area sportsmen and far- mers balked at the idea of "the Detroit people* killing "our does and fawns". hmale e<? ainls w county jail cell Locked in a top security cell at the Tuscola County Jail, Ro- bert Craig Woloshen, 18, has been charged for vandalism.

Sheriff Hugh Marr is in charge of the complaint and has reached no decision regarding punishment. Anniversary dance slated One srokesman said, "far- mers are going to post. Believe me, the machinery is set up for it now." Many of the sportsmen be- lieved the "antlerless season" would bring only a slaughter of the area deer herd. One Sanilac spokesman, Grant Abbot, said, "the same thing will happen to our deer herd that happened to the Michigan Elk herd." Another property owner said, "I don't care that much about hunting, but I just want to see the deer." "A track, or a sign," he said, "is really nice, and I just like to see them." Other agenda also occupied the sportsman attention. Group leaders strongly urged members to write their legis- lators to oppose gun legislation. White y Junk of Akron orated to his listeners, "We're closer to losing our gun this year than ever before." In Detroit, he said, Cavanagh charges $35 for each gun and requires registration. Joe Lamb, secretary of the group, showed gun registration forms that ask nothing about one's criminal record. "It's just a way," he said, "for politi- cians to get more taxes, that's all." When the discussion turned to conservation generally, Whitey stood up, gesturing upward, "Friends . . . conservation is no longer the rod and reel and the gun. It's when you walk outdoors in the morning, it's the outdoors." State Tax Commission ups county's valuation 10% Taxes in Tuscola County will jump 10 per cent next year, the Tuscola County Board of Supervisors learned Tuesday afternoon as they studied the 1968 equalization analysis from the State Tax Commission. A year in progress, the state tax commission's study indicates that the county was assessing just 40.02 per cent of the recommended 50 per cent of true cash value of pro- perty. As a result the assessed value of the county will soar $35.621 million to a record high of $178,426,791. Because of the boost the county will have some $147,000 more on which to operate. While the county's taxes will average 10 per cent, the boost will be much less than that for some townships, much higher in others. Supervisors who have been assessing at much less than the required 50 per cent will now be forced to explain why taxes this year increased 15 to 18 per cent. Supervisors who have been assessing nearer to th'e standards required by the state will have less explaining because the taxes of their constituents will increase much less. While the persons in townships who were paying the least in the county in relation to the true cash value of property will receive the biggest boost, they can be consoled because they were paying less than taxpayers in neighboring townships in the years between the state's last audit in 1960 and the present. Still that's poor consolation for the farm, industry or home- owner who receives his tax bill and finds that it has jumped nearly 20 per cent. Least likely to feel effects of the new study will be taxpayers in Ihdianfields and Elkland townships. The two townships were the closest in the county to the 50 per cent figure re- quired by the state. Ihdianfields was nearest with 47.41 per cent and Elkland right behind with 47.32. Taxes in these townships will rise only a little over 1 1/2 per cent. Contrast this with Gilford township which is asses- sing at only 32.52 per cent and its nearly 17 1/2 per cent jump and the results of the survey become apparent. The accompanying chart shows the total increase and the percentage increase for each township. The increase column is the amount of money each township must raise to meet state requirements. When compared to the amount in the "1968 assessed" column the relative size of the jump for each township becomes readily apparent.

The open house follows the pattern established last year and was adopted by the board of education because of the "many requests of interested persons whoattended the initial event last spring." In addition to viewing again the facilities available to stu- dents, a special program has been arranged. These special events are optional and visitors may at- tend as many or as few as desired. At 2 p.m. in the little audi- torium the speech department will make a presentation. Also slated are demonstrations of shop practices and the school's new language lab. At 3 p.m. a series of events in the gym start. It will be kicked off with music furnished by the high school band. At 3:30 a boys' physical edu- cation demonstration will be held and will be followed by a presentation of girls' physical education activities at 3:45. Rounding out the program will be choir selections and solo numbers starting at about 4 p.m. Besides these activities, vis- itors will see art students at work in room 107 and science activities in the biology and physics and chemistry rooms. Teachers will be available to discuss their work and stu- dent guides, members of t the Future Teachers of America Club, will be present to assist. Refreshments will be served in the cafeteria and for the second successive year will be under the direction of the Cass City Chapter of the Associa- tion of American University Women. Members of the board and school authorities said that the day was designed to get par- ents and residents a little bet- ter acquainted with their school. We trust,they continued, that as many as possible will make a special effort to visit Sunday. 2 burned in flash fire Mrs. Lyman Gerou is re- ported "to be improving* where she is a patient at Hills and Dales Hospital. She entered the hospital last week in critical condition resulting from smoke inhalation when the coal furnace in her two-story frame house exploded. Her home is located about 8 miles west of Cass City. The Caro Fire Department rushed to the scene of the stubborn fire that gutted the building. Caro fireman James Barriger was injured from exploding bottles when fighting the blaze. Mrs. Gerou also suffered cuts from the broken glass and broke her arm when trying to escape. The Elkland Township Fire Department was called to as- sist at tae Maze Friday morn- ing, Feb. 14. Meetings galore to discuss Owen-gage split A meeting of per sons opposed to the division of Owendale- Gagetown School is scheduled Thursday night at the town hall in Gagetown. It will be the second meet- ing called for the purpose of keeping the district from being split to Cass City, Sebewaing- Unionville and Lakers. The meetings are being held despite two other public meet- ings previously announced to review the property transfer by school officials. These meetings will be held Tuesday, Feb. 25, at Owendale School and Friday, Feb. 28, at Gagetown school. Gavel Club marks 25 years of service Specialist Four Grant L. Merchant was injured while serving with the 35th infantry 4n Vietnam recently and will be hospitalized in Japan for a month following an operation. Merchant was booby trapped by a ponge stick that punctured his right leg. Merchant, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Merchant of Cass City, received basic train- ing at Fort Knbx, Ky, and served at Camp Polk, Louisiana, before going overseas, His hospital address is:SP/4 Grant Merchant US54974081, 249 Gen. Hospital (patient), APO San Francisco 96267. Twenty-five years of service to the community will be com- memorated Saturday by the Cass City Gavel Club at a special anniversary dance and celebration at the Cass City Intermediate School gym. The Gavel Club was formed to write, give speeches and learn parliamentary law . . . but soon branched into the com- munity-boosting civic organi- zation from which it earned its current prestige and acclaim. Although the club has spon- sored the Cub Scouts, assisted the Girl Scouts, boosted Cass City's hospitals and gained de- served fame for its animated displays when the community was renowned for Christmas decorations, its primary in- terest has always been the Cass City Recreational Park. This interest has not dimin- ished over the years. It was the Gavel Club that built the foot- ball field, the Softball field, the baseball field. It was the Gavel Club that installed the lights, and took tickets in the early days of the high school football games at the field. It was the Gavel Club that turned Cass City's track into the finest in the Thumb years before any other school boasted a similar facility. And it was the Gavel Club that established the Gavel In- vitation track meet that draws hundreds to the community. Following the club's tradi- tion, the promotion at the park continues. Gavelites spearheaded the drive that resulted in the addi- tion to the Cass City Recrea- tional Park and are busy today trying to turn it into another community asset. Already the dead trees and brush have been cleared away in the wooded addition and a nature trail established. A bridge and a walk have been built and construction of new picnic tables is slated long before the summer season ar- rives. The club has been active, but it has never been large. Although membership fluctuated through the years, today there are 22 active members. When the club was formed at Hopper's Restaurant in August, 1943, there were 18 charter mem- bers. Three still are active. They are: Dr. K. I. MacRae, Lester Ross and Dr. E. c. Fritz. Members say that Saturday's dance is open to everyone who would care to attend. Tickets are available from any club members. This year the officers of the club are; President Bill Wal- lace, Vice-president Art Ran- dall, Secretary Dean Jardine and Treasurer Dan Erla. Besides the officers, mem- bers of the club are: Fred Auten> John Bifoss, Ed Doerr, Ed Fritz, Ron Geiger, Vic Guernsey, Dick Hampshire, Bob Hutchinson, Bob Hirn, Har- old Isard, Ivan MacRae, Herb Ludlow, Jack McDaniels, Les Ross, Bob Stickle, Roy Tuckey, Dick Wallace and Warren Wood. Pair escape injury in crash Frank and Duane James White of 5873 N. Cemetery road over- ran a curve in Ihdianfields town- ship, Thursday, Feb. 13. Nor- bert Fader of Caro was also a passenger and the three were treated and released at Caro Community Hospital. The mishap occurred while they were traveling on S.

EFROM THE

If you rank football coachesby the won-lost record, JohnBifoss was a loser in CassCity.

But when my son is old enoughto participate in organizedschool sports, I hope some-where along the line he comesin contact with another JohnBifoss.

I'd be trusting that when hedoes some of the coach's dedi-cation, principle, integrity andlove of the game would brushoff.

Yes, and some of his guts,too.

Because it took a lot of it todo what the soft-spoken ex-grid coach did last week inCass City.

At any time including theTuesday morning after he wasfired, Bifoss could have an-nounced that he was quittingas head football coach. . .but he WASN'T QUITTING(voluntarily) and he refused toslide out gracefully to saveface.

And while the howls of theSaturday morning quarterbacksoften reached a crescendo inthe losing grid seasons, even themost vocal never, ever saidthat as a man, Cass City'scoach didn't rank with the finest.

But he was a loser.

The complaints that floodedinto the school and to the boardmembers individually all saidessentially that Cass City wasbetter than its record ... thecoach was not getting the mostfrom the material.

He was a loser.

High school, college or thepros, it's always the coach thatis the whipping boy for poorteams. But was it the poorcoach or the poor material?

Certainly, Cass City doesnot have the fastest, strongest,biggest team in the league.But is the talent as poor asthe record?

It's an academic question.Cass City has been a loser forso many seasons now that localfans are starved for a winner.

Perhaps a new man can takenext year's grid squad and im-prove the record. . .perhapsnot.

Perhaps John will return toCass City to teach, perhapsnot.

You wonder why he botherswhen you read about the coachesthat are deserting the tension-filled field of sports for therelative ease of the classroom.

Coaches like Claude Marsh,who at Bad Axe set all kindsof records with one top rankedteam after another. . . or likeMike Yedinak, who has beenreported considering quittingat Alpena . . . the same MikeYedinak who is still conjuredwhenever the best of Cass City'scoaches of the past arementioned.

These men were winners. . .Bifoss was a loser. Why con-tinue? Simply the love of thegame and the thrill of workingwith the boys, the coach saidlast Tuesday.

A loser, but not a quitter.

Following the same strictcode that wouldn't allow himto "resign" under pressure, heoutlines his plans for the futurequietly and directly.

He will continue coaching andhe will leave if another coach-ing post opens at another s chool.

If not, he'll presumably beback at Cass City teaching andcoaching in a capacity otherthan varsity football.

When John Bifoss was fired,a loser came out a winner.

Gavel Club marks 25 years of service

Specialist Four Grant L.Merchant was injured whileserving with the 35th infantry4n Vietnam recently and willbe hospitalized in Japan fora month following an operation.

Merchant was booby trappedby a ponge stick that puncturedhis right leg.

His hospital address is:SP/4Grant Merchant US54974081,249 Gen. Hospital (patient), APOSan Francisco 96267.

Twenty-five years of serviceto the community will be com-memorated Saturday by theCass City Gavel Club at aspecial anniversary dance andcelebration at the Cass CityIntermediate School gym.

The Gavel Club was formedto write, give speeches andlearn parliamentary law . . .but soon branched into the com-munity-boosting civic organi-zation from which it earned itscurrent prestige and acclaim.

Although the club has spon-sored the Cub Scouts, assistedthe Girl Scouts, boosted CassCity's hospitals and gained de-served fame for its animateddisplays when the communitywas renowned for Christmasdecorations, its primary in-terest has always been theCass City Recreational Park.

This interest has not dimin-ished over the years. It was theGavel Club that built the foot-ball field, the Softball field, thebaseball field.

It was the Gavel Club thatinstalled the lights, and tooktickets in the early days ofthe high school football gamesat the field. It was the GavelClub that turned Cass City'strack into the finest in theThumb years before any otherschool boasted a similar

facility.And it was the Gavel Club

that established the Gavel In-vitation track meet that drawshundreds to the community.

Following the club's tradi-tion, the promotion at the parkcontinues.

Gavelites spearheaded thedrive that resulted in the addi-tion to the Cass City Recrea-tional Park and are busy todaytrying to turn it into anothercommunity asset.

Already the dead trees andbrush have been cleared awayin the wooded addition and anature trail established. Abridge and a walk have beenbuilt and construction of newpicnic tables is slated longbefore the summer season ar-rives.

The club has been active,but it has never been large.Although membership fluctuatedthrough the years, today thereare 22 active members. Whenthe club was formed at Hopper'sRestaurant in August, 1943,there were 18 charter mem-bers. Three still are active.They are: Dr. K. I. MacRae,Lester Ross and Dr. E. c.Fritz.

Members say that Saturday'sdance is open to everyone whowould care to attend. Tickets

are available from any clubmembers.

This year the officers of theclub are; President Bill Wal-lace, Vice-president Art Ran-dall, Secretary Dean Jardineand Treasurer Dan Erla.

Besides the officers, mem-bers of the club are: Fred Auten>John Bifoss, Ed Doerr, EdFritz, Ron Geiger, VicGuernsey, Dick Hampshire,Bob Hutchinson, Bob Hirn, Har-old Isard, Ivan MacRae, HerbLudlow, Jack McDaniels, LesRoss, Bob Stickle, Roy Tuckey,Dick Wallace and Warren Wood.

life as twin is'one of them'

By Richard Haines

Being an identical twin' isunique. Being the only childrenof a family makes it even moreso. Add on top of that the com-munity of Lakeview Townshipnear the tiny village of Alansonfor a hometown and you're liv-ing in Heaven.

Being a twin means being"more" than just you. You reachgroup status. Instead of beingjust "him", you're part of"them".

My twin, *Bob", and I wereas close as we were competi-tive. As toddlers, when Bobwould cry, I would let out ahowling bawl, and vice-versa.When one was being punishedfor ill behavior, perhaps theother couldn't fend off thepunisher, but at least he was{here.

As a pantywaist, I was theromantic explorer. Bob was thestraight and true. For example,when Pd go adventuring with mybib and up the long mysteriousstairway, Bob would run andtell Mom and Pd get hauledback down where I belonged.

Our peers could always tellus apart. Relatives? Not achance. Matter of fact, mygrandfather swears up anddown, they mistakenly switchedour names and I'm really "Bob",and he's really "Dick".

Actually, we were so muchalike the only way Mom andDad could tell us apart wasthat, at the lower back of ourheads, my hair swept inward,and his, outward.

One thing I do remember ishow he learned to ride a tricyclebefore I did. Never quite gotover that. He also learned toride our first 26-inch bikes be-fore I did, but I guess the morenotable fact is that we bothpedaled about 2,000 miles of theAlanson countryside before weput the bikes back into thegarage.

On Dad's medium sized dairyfarm, we spent much of ourboyhood summers making hay,tending calves and cows, and do-ing field work, and later, I dida little commercial combining.

One of the highlights wastwo tractors Dad used to havethat Bob and I raced down the

cowlane. Bob always drove thezippier, but slightly slow *Z»,and I drove the Farmall "H*which was slower gettingstarted, but I <sould always"get'm* on the back 40.

Through high school, the dif-ferences between us began toemerge. I was president of stu-dent council and entered speechcontests. Bob also believedstrongly in the two party system,one Friday night and one Satur-day night.

My friends were more varied,his, more homogenous. Hisfriends were usually friends ofeach other, often mine weren't.

He was more alert in informalsituations; I, in more formalsituations. He was more spon-taneous and easy going} I wasmore pondering and set onlonger range goals. He was theGreek, I was the Roman gov-ernor.

But we were both alwayseager and active. As twins,I think people examined us moreclosely, and in their attempt todistinguish us, they sometimes"read into" our personalitiesand tended to stereotype usrather than accept us as theindividuals we really were.

More significantly, I thinkBob and I overlooked the alikesfor the differences, which reallyweren't half as significant aswe thought them to be.

Sometimes, the differenceswere sources of anxiety, be-cause they were differences wenever really, deep down, wantedto accept. But I think this wasmore generally true of Bob thanme, as he often was chagrinedwhenever I wouldn't accordwith a group decision.

Anyhow, he's at WesternMichigan University now andI see him becoming moretolerant, more pensive and Isee our interests somehow con-verging. I'm glad.

What was the worst playerdeal ever made in the historyof baseball? . . . How aboutthis one. . . In 1920 the BostonRed Sox sent a young player tothe Yankees by the name ofBabe Ruth. . . Many expertsagree that was the most foolishdeal of all-time.

****

Here are amazing similari-ties in the first games playedin college basketball by two ofthe greatest players of all-time,Lew Alcindor and Wilt Chamb-erlain. . . Chamberlain playedhis first varsity college gameDec. 3,1956 and Alcindor playedhis first college varsity gameEXACTLY 10 years later to theday — Dec. 3j 1966. . . Intheir college debuts, Chamber-lain and Alcindor each scoredin the 50s, each missed exactlynine field goal attempts and eachset a new school single-gamescoring record in their firstgames.

Do you know there's a bigleague sports team on whichthe coach is younger than al-most half his players! . . .It'sSt. Louis of the National HockeyLeague whose coach, ScottyBowman, is 35 years old . . .Some of the stars on the teamare Jacques Plante who's 39,Glenn [Hall, 37, Doug Harvey,44, Al Arbdur, 36, and CamilleHenry, 36: . .

In a couple of weeks another contingent heads for LasVegas from Cass City. It's a 1000 to 1 that they won't doas well as Mrs. Janet (Caister) Schwannecke.

Mrs. Schwannecke. invaded the gambling capital of theworld on a three-day convention jaunt with her husband andwon the equivalent of $2,000.

What's more she won without taking any chances of losingat all. A convention sidelight was a free drawing and Mrs.Schwannecke returned to the rigors of Michigan's winterswathed in an Autumn Haze mink coat.

AspirinDid you know that scientists

have classified 13 distinct typesof headache — and they agreethat simple aspirin is still thebest way to relieve the pain, inmost cases.

The biggest category (thoughnot the greatest number) ofheadache is the migraine type,of which the "classic" group in-cludes temporary disorders ofvision and muscle activity.When these persist after theheadache itself has gone, theyare classed as "heimplegie" and"ophthaimoplegic" headaches.

The "common" migraine in-cludes those that occur at fre-quent, regular intervals andthose asociated with menstra-tion. The "cluster" headache isassociated with flushing, sweat-ing and runny nose. Thenthere's the "lower half" head-ache, which centers primarilyon the mouth and jaw.

"Muscle contraction" head-ache results from sustainedmuscle tightening, and is some-times called the "nervous" or"tense" headache. Some head-aches are associated with theeye, ear, sinus, teeth or neck;some result from disorders ofthe cranial nerve.

Aspirin is not usually usedfor migraine headaches, but itmay be combined with a seda-tive or tranquilizer to obtainthe greatest relief.

In a way, aspirin is some-thing like electricity — we'vehad it around foir years, with-out fully understanding justhow it works. We're just grate-ful that it does work.

FFA to make bid inFuture Farmers of America

are celebrating National FutureFarmer Week. Forty FFAmembers of Cass City High arejoining in the national recogni-tion.

Presently, FFA'ers are pre-paring for a State-wide Live-stock Judging Contest to beheldat MSU April 25 and 26. TheChronicle camera made a tourof practice judging this week andfound hogs, sheep, and dairyanimals as the judging areasCass City FFA'ers are rootingfor.

Lyle Clark will mark his16th year with the Cass CityHigh School agricultural pro-gram this upcoming fall andhe's watched trends change overthe years.

Clark reports roughly halfof the FFA boys stay in farm-related occupations^ accordingto a statistical survey taken1 1/2 years ago. Meanwhile,he said, "some drift in and somedrift out."

Several hurdles prevent boysfrom sticking to agriculturaloccupations, he said. First, in-dustrial wages are a lure. Theboys unfortunately forget, hesaid, the opportunities for busi-ness ownership.

Also, he said, many boys arereluctant to plant themselveson the farm at high school age.

Parents also want their chil-dren to continue their education.Many do, he said, but in theprocess many are attracted toother fields in business andindustry.

Clark says personal relationsoften affect farm ownershipfrom father to son. Financialproblems and hurdles in work-ing out a mutually satisfactoryfinancial arrangement can alsorepresent a hurdle, he said.

Clark said there are evencases where the father wouldrather not have his son farm.Also, some fathers establisha waiting period to test theson's sincerity in assuming re-

sponsibility for ownersmp.In addition, Clark said, the

father sometimes isn't readyto release the reins when theson is ready to take them.

FFA provides a liaison, herelates, through individual pro-jects in assuming managerialresponsibility. Exact recordsare normally kept, and theserecords are scrutinized as theFFA'er passes through the

phases of State, and AmericanFarmer.

Opportunities for leadershipare available on state and na-tional levels. State and nationalconventions are held. Officersare elected.

Clark said this is the firstyear more boys have been en-rolled in agriculture coursesthan there have been FFA mem-bers. "It's not what it usedto be," he said. "Where fiveyears ago there were 250Michigan chapters, now thereare about 200."

Clark notes, however, thatnew ag-related programssuch as mechanics, welding,

and machines have croppedup, creating new specializa-tions in the, high school.Specialization, he said, isbreaking old patterns, andcreating new diversions.

In 1967 there were 53,000fatalities on our highways. Ifwe look at the State of Michi-gan, alone, we are about 12-13% over the 1967 figures sofar in 1968 - the final tabula-tion has not been completedfor 1968, but as of the middleof December we were runningabout 13% ahead of 1967. Thisis over 2,000 deaths in the Stateof Michigan.

If we consider all the com-bat deaths suffered by our ArmedForces from the AmericanRevolution to the present war

in Vietnam, we have not ex-perienced a million combatdeaths - as a matter of factwe have had some 600,000 com-bat deaths in all those yearsand those wars. We passed the1 million mark in highwaydeaths several years ago. Rightnow the total stands at some-thing like 1,600,000 fatalitieson the highway since the motorvehicle was invented. Overtwice as many (one millionmore) as were killed in allour wars!

are the first cause of deathin our society from age 1 to34. The highway crash is thelargest single type of accident.

There is considerable apathyon the part of the public con-cerning the highway crash, andit's very disturbing to see thisdegree of apathy because onewonders how many deaths a yearour society will tolerate. Thereare certain other events thatoccur in our culture whichstimulate considerable reactionon the part of the public - forexample, a tremendous reactionhas been evoked from the publicconcerning the war in Vietnam,considerable reaction has beenbrought out because of theviolence on the streets, and soon. What does it take to stimu-late comparable levels of re-action for the highway epidemic?

Two concepts which arevitally important in attempts toreduce morbidity and mortalityon the highway are: Injury Pre-vention and Accident Preven-tion. Accident Prevention callsfor the prevention of the crashoriginally. Injury Preventionassumes a crash will occurand calls 'for steps to be takenby the occupant'or by the manu-facturer of the vehicle to at-tenuate the crash - lessen itseffect.

Regarding accident preven-tion: the alcoholic driver isof particular concern. Al-coholism is a disease whichcontributes significantly tomorbidity and mortality on thehighway. Several studies havedemonstrated that from 50% to60% of the fatal crashes areassociated with the use of al-cohol. In England they recentlyenacted legislation which al-lowed the police authority tosample breath for alcohol andthe mortality rate went downinitially. In Michigan the lawhas been in force about a yearand yet in spite of this ourmortality rate is now 13%over 1967.

Under the Michigan law,police officers can stop an in-dividual who is in an accidentand if they have reason tosuspect that he has been drink-ing, they can ask him to takea breatholizer test. However,the damage has already beendone. The true objective is toprevent people who are drink-ing from getting out on theroad.

The medical profession andthe licensing authorities havehad a long-time concern overthe physically impaired driver.First of all, the driver who hasa physical disability, whether itbe a natural disease processor any physical condition whichwould limit his driving abilitymust be identified. Once he isidentified the question is should,this driver be limited? Sincedriving is vitally important forthe mobility of people, no onelikes to take away a licenseunless there is just reason forit.

Two prison termsissued in court

In Tuscola County CircuitCourt Charles W. Perkins,charged with breaking and en-tering with intent to commitlarceny, was sentenced to Jack-son prison from 5 to 10 yearsby Judge James Churchill.

Sentenced on the same chargewas his accomplice Albert E.Benjamin, who was sent to Jack-son for 3 to 10 years. Creditfor 40 days served in jail dur-ing the trial was granted.

Thumb deer:"people problem"

GASS CITY CHRONICLE-THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1969 PAGE FIVE

Sportsmen here to resist antlerless hunt

Jim Geilhart, widely re-spected conservation officerfrom the district office at Caro,has changed his mind in recentyears about antlerless hunting.Formerly opposed, he nowfavors the antlerless hunt.

"We don't have a deer pro-blem," he said, "we have apeople problem*. "We can con-trol the deer herd, but we can'tcontrol people."

Geilhart said the issuance ofan antlerless permit for doesand young, unantlered bucks insmall, scattered areas through-out the state has resulted inan enforcement problem for theconservation officer. Huntersshoot in restricted areas ad-jacent to the legal area, he ex-plained, and it is very difficult

to catch them.Moreover, he said, requests

for permits bring an avalancheof hunters to a local area. * Whenthere's too many hunters,there's no fun,* he said. Thetiny deer area boundaries "havebeen a bone of contention forsome time," he said.

He said the game division'srecommendation to the Con-servation Commission forantlerless deer hunting north ofM-46 in the Thumb area is partof a larger plan to dispersehunters more evenly throughoutthe state.

This would be more equitablefor all the state hunters, lessburdensome for local conserva-tion officers, less harrassingtolocal residents, he contended.

"Your program is only asgood as your enforcement," he

saici, and the department has toconsider the state as a whole.

"Actually, those with an an-tlerless permit who hunt withtheir permit and don't tag theirdeer are thieves, thieves fromyou and me.* When there's aviolation, we have to impressupon everybody the importanceof getting all the informationand reporting it, he said.

Geilhart said there was littlesense in being squeamish aboutshooting does and young buckswhen its fully accepted to shootfemale ducks, grouse, squirrelsand other game.

The Thumb area, he said, isfortunate to have ideal habitatfor an abundant deer herd. Inthis area, the Vassar, Deford,Murphy Lake and Tuscola gamereserves are an important deerrange, especially valuableduring summer months, he said.

The game division owns 25,-000 acres in Tuscola county,8,000 in Sanilac county. Cornfields provide additional range.

The area is also abundant inits browsing range, he said,and at this time of year deernibble on Red Osier, GroundHemlock, Dogwood and Cedar.

Limited snowfall, he saidgives deer freedom to roam.Under cold and deep snow con-ditions, deer become confined,he said, and congregate in largenumbers, severely limiting foodsupply.

He said this has happened inthe lower peninsula. Red Osierdoesn't even get a chance togrow, he said. The largerboundary system is designed toeven deer herd populations, yetallow effective enforcement ofconservation rules.

In Tuscola county, he said,"more deer are being seenthan ever before." Yet therehave been very few complaintsof crop damage, he said.

Geilhart believes there hasbeen an increase in the carkill, increasing property dam-age and personal injury. Hesaid last year many car killswere never tallied by the De-partment of National Resourcesbecause law enforcement of-ficials didn't call them in andbecause the car driver was ableto keep "his" deer.

Geilhart's figures for recentdeer kill are as follows: 80in 1964, 87 in 1965, 86 in 1966,70 in 1967, 51 in 1968.

Local hunter Robert MacKayis opposed to the proposed ant-lerless season saying hunterswill slaughter everything. The"sound and movement shooters*will take over, he said. He saidthe hunters' response will be"If they want them shot off,Pll help them shoot them off."He predicted the deer will bedriven from state to privateland and local property hunterswould be posting their land.

Hunter and woodsman AlexGreenleaf fiercely opposed tothe antlerless hunt and was in-censed over local conservationofficer Jim Geilhart's state-ment that a petition drive,"would do no good, it'll go

through anyway." "It's the in-surance companies that are forit," he said, and he alleged"politics", between insurancecompanies, and the Natural Re-sources Commission. He saidarea farmers are "glad to seedeer in their oats, wheat, andalfalfa fields." "They like tosit there, eat breakfast, and seethe deer." He said joblesspoachers in the area, where be-fore , they took only 4 or 5,now will take 15 or 20 . They'llshoot them for their brother,aunt, sister, cousin, and grand-mother.

Farmers willpost and area hunters will tearup their permits, he predicted.He reported no recent de-creases in the herd populationbut said if they open antlerlesskilling, "They'll shoot the Hell,right out of them."

C. C. H. S.Tuesday the student council

met. Gary Vollmar, president,reported on the administra-tion's answers to the council'ssuggestions from the previousmeeting. The administrationfeels: there is no need for achange in the honor roll re-quirements since five other"Thumb B* schools have thesame requirements asC.C.H.S., and last markingperiod 71 students, or 15% ofthe student body, were includedon the honor roll, making itlarge enough; a golf team thisyear isn't a possibility becauseof a shortage of funds forathletics and because the golfcourse in back of school isn'texpected to open soon enough;semester final schedules willbe more rigid rather than morelenient due to lack of coopera-tion during last semester'sfinals; a twirp week carnivalcannot be held uptown due tothe control problem, and thatthe aspect of more mirrors inthe girls' restrooms "will belooked into."

The council decided to sellnotebooks and pads of paperwith the C. C. H. S. emblemon the latter this year andto have a coat check for eachof the five Class *C" tourna-ments in Cass City. Each classis to provide work for one night,and the student council officerswill work the remaining night.

Student Council's school vis-itation day, in which pairedschools exchanged four stu-dents. Joe Mark, Phil Keating,Sherry Bacon, and Diane Asherwere the C.C.H.S. students whovisited Bad Axe. The Bad Axestudents that visited Cass Citywere: Dan Brown, Gary Bruce,Charles Leonard, and SusanWakefield. The visiting studentsat each school attended classeswith students who were takingsimilar classes so.that a com-parison could be made betweenschools.

Thursday morning a dramaticassembly was presented to thestudent body by Mr. BilPfuderer and Mr. James Myers.The assembly was presented inchronological order in threeparts. In the first part of theprogram, the two actors pre-sented a scene from "OeidipusRex," in which they carriedtheir masks and donned heavycostumes. The team explainedthat in this period of the theatre,the masks sometimes weighedin excess of twenty pounds andhad to be held throughout anentire performance and cos-tumes were often very heavyand burdensome, thus inhibitingthe player's dramatic perfor-mance.

The Roman Theater andShakespearean Comedy werecombined in Shakespeare's* Midsummer Night's Dream"for the second portion of theshow. In contrast to the earliertheater, in the period maskscovered only one-half of the faceand light cotton wigs were used.In the Rehearsal Scene from"Midsummer Night's Dream",the team demonstrated theshort, brisk, and often humor-ous movements used in theRoman Theater. ;

The third section of the pro-gram switched to the twentiethcentury, in which actors try toportray the intimate lives of thecharacters and the audience hasbecome an eavesdropper onthose lives. The team presenteda scene from Edward Albee's"The Zoo Story."

Bil Pfuderer is the creatorof many assembly programsand has performed variously asdirector, writer and actor. Hegraduated from the State Uni-versity of Iowa and the Uni-versity of Erlangen, Germany.

He presented "The Romanceof the Mask," in England,France, Germany, and Italy.During this period he alsoserved as resident actor-singerwith the Bavarian State Theatrein Numberg and Munich. Hisdirector talents have most re-cently been honored by an in-vitation to serve as guestdirector for the InternationalCommunity Theatre Con-ference.

James Myers is a graduateof the University of Indiana.For the past two years heserved as director of dramaand speech activities at Jack-son High School in South Bend,Indiana.

The team met at the CountryPlavhouse in South Bend,Indiana, where Mr. Pfudererwas director-actor, and Mr.Myers was an actor.

The senior class attendedanother assembly on Thursday.Jimmy DiRaddo of Campus Lifespoke with the class basicallyon respect and self respectthrough the various paths oflife.

Mr. DiRaddo has devoted hislife to youth. He has been travel-ing from high school to highschool speaking to students forfifteen years, and through theManhattan Christian Youth Ser-vice he has taken tours through-out the Orient. He is now de-veloping a Youth CounselingCenter in the heart of NewYork City.

Through working with "kids",Mr. DiRaddo has actuallybridged the so called "genera-tion gap." He was very frankand came right to the point,and much to a lot of people'ssurprise, the entire class ac-cepted Ms lecture without jeer-ing and many actually took it toheart.

In the pep assembly Friday,there was an obvious strugglebetween the sophomores andseniors for the honor of win-ning the spirit jug; however,in the runoff the seniors won.All right ! !

The score now is:12-211-110-59-0

The cheerleaders presented aValentine with a short versefor each of the players to thevarsity team, and Judy Snear,a sophomore, gave a pep talk.

"Around The Farm"Cass City ChronicleCass City, Mich. 48726

Re: "View Problems WithPlastic Tubing*

Dear Mr. Ballweg:

We read the above articlefrom the Cass City paper andthought you might like someanswers to the questions posedin it. It seems most of thequestions were for the installer,and that is what we are. Weinstall drain tile of all typesincluding the new corrugatedplastic drainage tubing.

No. I.It is easier and cheaperto install. We eliminate one manand, therefore, charge less.However, our footage installedis increased.

No. 2.It is easier and cheaperto transport. A truck trailerhauling plastic can carry up to20,000', whereas, a similarvehicle carrying standard draintile, carrys about 7,000'.

No. 3. The thin wall zipperedplastic, that was used as acomparison to the presentday corrugated plastic, isn't atrue comparison. That would belike mounting a bare inner-

tube on a car rim and expect-ing it to do as well as a tire.The SCS specifications for wallstrength, to avoid collapsing,is easily met by the corrugatedtubing.

No. 4. S. C. S. installationspecifications are not difficultor expensive. When we firstchecked into the installationprocedures with SCS - Wash-ington, we were told this, byLouis Herndon, SCS engineer,"Installations will not neces-sarily be more difficult, butthey will be different. And con-tractors have a way of adaptingequipment to suit their needs*.To that we say, "Amen*.

We would also like to com-ment on Prof. Kidder's un-answered questions.

No. 1. A good contractor willnot allow drain tile or tubingto be laid over a rock in thebottom of the trench. Assumingthat some would, the loss ofcross-sectional area is thesame for both rigid andflexible drains. Both are aseasily detected. However, withstandard drain tile there is amiss-alignment factor whichallows for soil to enter thedrain. This is not true for tub-ing.

No. 2.We do not install thetubing under any tension exceptthat required to unroll itsmoothly which is insignificant.From experience, we have alsofound out that hot or cold tem-peratures do not increase ordecrease our installation pro-blems in order to insure aquality job for the farmer. Itjust goes in easier and better- period.

No. 3. Finding plastic tubingwith a tile probe takes the samekind of know-how that it takesto tell a rigid drain tile froma rock. We have that know-how.

Prof. Kidder's commentabout being cautious is amusing.We were like people from Mis-souri, "show me". We showedourselves and now are highlyconfident about plastic tubing.

If It FitL. "Crime is in the streets., but...

BY JIM FITZGERALD

The over 9<Fs

I am lately swamped b'y mailadvising me to move 60 milessouth to Detroit where I cantake my lumps with the rest ofthe mugging victims.

Or stay where I am and shutmy big mouth.

I write that no man shouldbe pre-judged for any reason -his complexion, his relatives orthe way he walks. And I getletters telling me I would waila different tune if I lived in abig city where there is a niggerwith a razor in every doorway.

Some of the letter-writerspreface their venom with theusual sickening platitudes:"Some of my best friends. . .*

ORDER OF PUBLICATIONGeneral

State of Michigan, ProbateCourt for the County of Tus-cola.

Estate of Dorcas EvangelineMacRae, Deceased.

File No. 20500.It is ordered that on April

10, 1969, at ten a.m. , in theProbate Courtroom in the Vil-lage of Caro, Michigan a hear-ing be held at which all credi-tors of said deceased are re-quired to prove their claims.Creditors must file swornclaims with the Court and servea copy on Lela Hall, admini-stratrix, Gagetown, Michigan,prior to said hearing.

Publication and service shallbe made as provided by Statuteand Court Rule.

Dated: January 28, 1969.C. Bates Wills, Judge of Pro-

bate.A true copy.Beatrice P. Berry, Register

of Probate. 2/6/3

But the haters always end upwriting about "they." "They"are lazy. "They" throw garbagein their backyards. "They" wantto kill all white men and rapeall white women. "They"snatched my aunt's purse6 times.

And with that simple word"they," the letter-writersreveal their ignorance. Thehaters stick the caution signon every black child in Detroitbecause Rap Brown clenched hisfist in Boston.

It would make equal sense ifI quit eating spaghetti becauseof the Mafia.

Another thing many of thehaters tell me is to read theNews and Til know how dan-gerous it is to live in Detroit.They are referring to the"Crime in the Streets* columnwhich each day lists the hold-ups and muggings and rapes.The News always identifies thecriminals as Negro or white.This is a mistake and I hopethe News editor will some daywake up and cut it out.

Naturally, most of the mug-gers are Negroes. There are600,000 Negroes living in theinner city and, for whatevergood or bad reasons, some ofthem are vicious crooks. Butwhat color are the victims ofthese street crimes? The Newsskims this. Thus the readergets a false picture of a blackhorde of bums warring on thegood white folks. The truth isthat many Negroes are alsovictims of street crimes."They" are scared too, man.

K the News is going to reportcomplexions, it should reportthem all. Otherwise, the news-paper is needlessly fanning dan-

gerous fires ("Look Martha,another dirty nigger hit an oldman.*) - and giving ammuni-tion to the type of racists whowrite me stupid letters. Thetruth is, the only decent reasonsfor a newspaper to publish acriminal's color are if thecrime is racial (that's news)or if the information will aidin the capture of a fugitive orin the protection of the public(that's good citizenship). Noneof these circumstances applyto most of the street crimesreported by the News.

Ok. Now that I've eliminatedthe News as a possible placeof employment, let's get backto my lily white mail. *. .

The haters accuse me ofcondoning street crime, or ,ofdoubting it really exists. Nuts.The thugs disgust me, too. Andthey frighten me. If some blackbums come after me, I'm notgoing to pull out some clippedcolumns and ask them to readhow liberal I am. I am goingto run as fast as George Wal-lace would.

No. I know the problem isthere. And I can understandwhy people (and newspapers)aremore upset by two-bit mug-gings than they are by moresophisticated crimes which takemany more dollars from theirpockets. Nothing hits closer tohome than a club on the head.

But the first step towardstopping Crime in the Streetsis to realize that every blackface in the street does notbelong to a mugger.

White people should thinkhard about this: Do unto othersas you would have them do untoyou - if your skin were black.

Onward and Upward.

332.That's 332 years of together-

ness. And they love it, nonemore than -Mrs. Lydia Davis,91.

But Mrs. Davis is quite ac-customed to good time living.She's the last of a family of 12children. That's a lot of to-getherness, too. Her last bro-ther, Robert, died at 89 lastfall.

Mrs. Davis was born in ParkHill, Ontario, Nov. 30, 1877.Her father farmed and she firstcame to Michigan to visit herbrother Robert.

She was 18 at the time andshe stayed. Her first job was atElher's store in Shabbona.

Mrs. Davis's machine-gunrecall of dates and places isastonishing. She started work-ing at the Cass City State Bankfor A. Hitchcock Sept. 4, 1917,she said.

She married George "Mack"Davis seven years later andsoon returned to bank employ-ment.

"Mack* engineered the trainbetween Detroit and Syracuse,New York, during several oftheir married years, she re-calls. "Those were some ofthe happiest years of my life,"she added.

Mrs. Davis was one of thefortunate to ride the first ex-cursion ride on a new railroadbetween Cass City and Bad Axe.It was a day of gaiety andmerriment, she recalls.

Of course those were theearly Michigan days when "com-munity" and "progress* weresources of pride, as well as ofjoy.

For the present, Mrs. Davis

seems to be enjoying life morethan ever. If you arrive atdinnertime, you're told to waituntil the group is finished be-fore commencing an interview.

When a photographer desiresto return in the afternoon fora picture, he's told to *comeafter 4; we watch TV betweentwo and four."

It's not just a group at 4364Seeger; it's a club.

Asked "who's in charge a-round here?", the threemedicine carrying boardersquickly respond, "Mrs. Moore.*

Self-assured Mrs. Moore, theproprietor as well as theyoungest, nods in acknowledge-ment.

Asked who's second incharge, Mrs. Davis said, "Noneof the rest of us have anycharge."

Mrs. Davis is an early birdand says hello to Old Sol everymorn at 7 a.m.

It takes persuasion to get thefour together on the couch. It'sa tight squeeze. Amidst "oohs*and self-conscious giggles, thefour managed to perch them-selves on the edge of the couchfor a picture.

Spoofed Mrs. Wendt with per-fect calm, "I'm the baby of thefamily." Mrs. Wendt is the lastto rise in the morning.

Household activities areusually, "busy, doing noth'n."Still, everybody chips in to helpin household chores and Mrs.Davis helps with the dishes.

One For The Road

It's a tale of

3 youngstersBy Ban Marlowe

Sometimes I feel Pve had itwith the "now" fiction pouringforth from publishers.

Snap, crackle, and pop.Pyschedelic language, treat-ment, and content. Continual as-sault upon senses and sensibili-ties. After a time one growsweary.

It's a pleasure, then, to beable to recommend a differentkind of novel. Differently paced,differently written. AlexandraJane Benchly's IF THE HEARTBE HASTY (Harris-Wolfe) isa warmly rendered recol-lection-tale of Chicago and anunspecified area of the Michigannorth woods country in the'30'sand <40's.

Sentimental is an unlovedword nowadays, but this is abook that's sentimental withoutbeing sloppy. Not that it's astranquil as golden sunlight upona melodiously babbling brook.There were problems in the<30's and <40's, too, as some ofus remember. This story is adeliberate evocation of a timeand place we are unlikely to seeagain.

It is essentially the tale ofthree youngsters growing upin the dusty depression streetsof the midwest's largest city.Jenny Logan, slim and elfin,is orphaned at the age of 5.Her two best friends are MikeNielson, Swedish and severalyears older, and Chuck Cassidy,Irish and closer to Jenny's age.

Mike is large, stable, rock-solid, and dependable. Chuckis diminutive, raucous, mer-curial, and flighty. Both areJenny's stalwarts in the some-times jungle-like atmosphereattending their progress throughCarter High School and thehardnosed 52nd St. neighborhoodwhich is their home base.

Mike graduates from highschool in time to enlist in theMerchant Marine. By the timeof Mike's first return toChicago, Chuck is in the Armybut is stationed nearby at FortNader. Chuck, although half inlove with Jenny himself, fullyexpects that Mike and Jennywill get married. Mike, how-ever, sensitive to the nuancesin Jenny which make her re-spond more readily to peoplewho need her, goes back to seawithout speaking the magicwords, outraging Chuck's Irish'sensibilities.

In Mike's absence, Jennymarries Victor Franz, a likableman but a weak one who leansupon Jenny's strength. Theyhave a son, and then Victordies in an industrial accident.Chuck thinks that surely Mikeand Jenny will marry now. In-stead, Mike goes off to seaagain and Jenny marries acharming rotter who turns outto be AWOL from service, abad check passer, and a multi-bigamist. From this short-lived 'union Jenny has a stillbornbaby.

The remainder of the storyconcerns the steady maturationof the principal characters en

route to an ending that cannotbe described as a conventionallyhappy one but is consistent withthe tone of the book.

The language is earthy attimes, but it fits the story, Therelationships between Jenny,Mike, and Chuck are parti-cularly well worked out. Cas-sidy, who turns to stock carracing after his Army days, isan especially well-realizedcharacter.

Oldfashioned is another wordin disrepute these days, but inthe best sense of the word thisis an oldfashioned novel toldwith oldfashioned values.

Agent's CornerBy Mrs. Ann Ross

When you take time to teachyour child to be aware of theworld around him you're alsotaking an important step in help-ing him develop creativity.

While there's much about thedevelopment of creativity that'snot known, it is known that be-fore a child can be creative hemust first become aware. Mo-thers and fathers can give theirchild a big assist by taking timeto help him/her become sensi-tive to the world around him:its sounds, smells, colors, tex-tures, lines, spaces and shapes.

These winter days that bringthe often repeated question -"What can I do?" - are a goodtime to start. Expensive equip-ment and materials aren't im-portant, but in the beginning,time, planning and space areessential. Later, when the childlearns what he can do with thematerials that surround him,you can turn him loose on hisown path of adventure.

Materials that offer bothvisual as well as "feeling" ex-periences are best. Keep themvaried, but simple. Start withsuch things as paper, paint,pencils, paste, clay, scissorsand crayons.

You might want to experimentwith "sound" experiences, too.Let him bang on different sizepans or lidsf Or, with somesupervision, he can listen tothe different sounds that comewhen he taps glasses that havebeen filled with varying amountsof water. From here, with hisplaymates as accompanists, hemight move to a children's ideaof a rhythm band and more soundexploration.

The more new things a childsees, feels and discovers, themore aware he will become.

ABOUND THE FARM

The functions ofa good manager

By Alfred P. Ballweg

A question on the minds offarmers and businessmen in acomplex society such as weoperate today is: How can Ido the best job of management?So much of what happens tomor-row depends on how good ourmanagement decisions aretoday. What really is manage-ment?

If people possessed perfectknowledge and there was nochange, there would be nofunction for management to per-form. Obviously neither of theseconditions exist. Lack of know-ledge and change serve to keepmanagers, researchers andteachers on their toes at alltimes. Most of us possesssomething less than perfectknowledge about establishedproduction processes.and thenthere is a constant stream ofnew technology which we mustlearn to apply. In addition, thereis constant change in prices,government programs and thequality of productive factors.All of the things serve to makemanagement a necessary partof the operation of every farmhome and farm business » Todeal with these conditions amanager must perform the fol-lowing functions in one way oranother:

Observation: He observessuch things as (a) kind andamount of crops and livestock,(b) levels of crop yields andlivestock production, (c) soilquality, (d) results of soil tests,(e) health of his livestock, (f)level of feeding, (g) breedingpractices, (h) new technology,(i) prices, and (j) governmentprograms.

Analysis: After observationhe considers whether thosethings observed warrant achange in his present farmorganization and/or operationplan. Many alternatives presentthemselves. It is in the analysisstage of management that far-mers recognize the need forlearning. What results shouldI be getting? How do I put thisnew technology into operationon my farm? What will it costand what results can I expect?

Decision Making: The justifi-cation for teaching farmers touse a farm planning procedureis that it guides the managertoward making sound businessdecisions.

Carrying out decisions:Decisions are of little valueunless they are put into effect.Frequently the manager hasneed for learning at this stage.If the decision was to build atemporary corncrib or a hori-zontal silo, the manager mightneed some "now to do it" in-formation. This is in contrastto the "what and how much*information needed in analysisand decision making.

Taking responsibility: Thefinal function of the managerin our society is to takeresponsibility. This is a dif-ficult function to describe andthere is little one can teachmanagers about it>

In performing the above man-agement functions the managerhas a constant need for know-ledge. This can be classified

Dear Mister Editor:

It were past regular closingtime at the country store Satur-day night afore the fellers wasable to draff a majority reporton the best way to spend $15billion, but they was full agreedit was their duty to help Con-gress clear up the matter.

Incidental, Mister Editor, EdDoolittle put in a amendment tothe report.1 He said that afterconsidering all the evidence upone side and down the other,his committee decided theymight be some hope fer this oldworld, but on the other handthey might not be.

Actual, Ed got the wholething started when he brung inthis newspaper clipping thatshowed one of the big problemsin the Congress is what to dowith all the money this coun-try will have when the Vitnamwar ends. The report claimed$30 billion a year is being spentover there, and without the warthe military won't be able to usebut half that much.

According to Ed's figgers,that would leave $15 billion tobe spent somewhere else. Anddoing away with that kind ofmoney is not a job you take onwithout some study, was Ed'swords, Ed was of the opinionfinding holes to pore $15 billionin ever year will take real team-work in Congress. He allowedthey might even have to givesome of it to the post office,but he was confident good oldAmerican! know how would comethrough vfithout having to re-duce taxes.

The school people will be gladto help out, and education isshore to git a heap of the mon-ey, cause voters always go alongwith money fer schools. Thewelfare outfits is sure to bestanding in line fer more money,Ed said. Aid to cities is awinner with some Congressmencause that's like dumping moneydown a bottomless well, wasEd's words. They is so manyagencies dealing with citiesmoney it sinks out of sight andnobody is held direct respon-sible.

Clem Webster said air andwater polution can use the en-tire $15 billion, and at least an-other $15 billion can go to feedpeople that now is starving. Andif they is money left, allowedClem, somebody ought to workon cutting down on the fertiliz-er nitergen that is upsetting thechemic balance and fixing topoison everbody.

, But it were Zeke Grubb thatclosed out the report on a hap-py note. He saw two good signs,one that since Congress isworking on how to spend thatextra $15 billion they don't thinkthe Vitnam war will go onferever and, too, that Congressis working on spending most ofthe money here and not givingit all in foreign aid.

Yours truly,Uncle Tim

Account book helps 'Iwith home records \

BY JUDITH SCHROETER |

For some home makers keep- :ing records of household ex- •penditures can be a real chore. :This chore, however, can be •eased by using one of Michigan ':State University's Home Ac- :count Books, available now from \your Cooperative Extension Of- 3fice at a small charge. The ;pages have columns adequate J;for identifying and listing such :•household expenditures as food, •:clothing, housing, home main- :tenance, medical expenses, etc. •'

Keeping home records can be :•most enlightening. Many a :•homemaker has been quite J:shocked when reviewing the re- :•cords over a six to 12-month •:span. This has sometimes been :•such a shock that homemakers <have developed a workable j:budget. :•

Admittedly, preparing a •:budget and keeping records does j:take time and determination, but '<well kept records are a •:tremendous help. Ask anyone :•who has them.

Record keeping and budget j:making are closely related, you :•can see. The former tells where •you've spent, the latter tells :you where you can expect to :spend.

Hawks lose to Caro; lookto filial 3 games on schedule

Cass City heads into the finalstages of the current cageseason with three games leftbefore the district tourneyopens at Cass City High Schoolgym and a victory in any of themwould help brighten an other-wise gloomy season.

But winning may prove to bea problem. The final schools on

the schedule are Frankenmuth,Cros-Lex and Marlette.

If the Hawks do notch a victorythey will have to continue play-ing as well as they did lastFriday when they were edgedby Caro, 65-53, and hope tocatch their foes on an offnight.

Coach Jim Wynes said that

both teams played good soundbasketball. There were fewturn-overs and little fouling.

But the game with the Tigersmay prove costly. Joe Hillaker,Cass City's leading scorer andrebounder, suffered a severewrist sprain and will be handi-capped in games this week if heproves well enough to see anyaction at all.

And the Hawks cannot do with-out their rebound specialist. Itwas the domination of the boardsthat spelled victory for Caro.They picked off 37 rebounds to29 for Cass City.

The Tigers were also a bettershooting club.

Cass City shot 30 per centfrom the field, but Caro bombedthe nets at a 42 per cent clip.

The Tigers moved out in frontin the first period and werenever in any real danger oflosing.

At the end of the first periodthe Hawks trailed by nine,

Letters toEDITOR'S NOTE: The paper

is pleased that these young stu-dents wrote express ing opinionsabout the story that appearedlast week in the Chronicle.

I assume that both learnedabout * yellow journalism** in thenew Journalism class at CassCity High School.

It's natural for the studentsnot to question the teacher whenshe says "yellow journalism*. . . if the teacher says so, itmust be.

It's the rare high schoolstudent that will ask, if it's so,why is it? Or am I sure thatthe person who tells me reallyknows?

Today's professional jour-nalism students are taught notonly the traditional who, what,where and when, but also why...taught to separate opinion fromfact and to clearly label opinionwhen it's presented.

In smaller schools, re-grettably, journalism is the poorstep-child of the curriculum.While none sanction teachingscience, biology or history byprofs with little or no training,it is assumed that writing andediting can be presented byteachers whose fields are onlyremotely, if at all, connectedwith the journalism profession.

Perhaps, girls, it might be asound learning experience thatas a class (or individual) pro-ject, opinions from qualified ex-perts be secured about the storyin question.

The Chronicle would be happyto publish the results.

We stand ready to be judgedby a jury of our peers.

It's unworthyof our paper

February 14, 1969Mr. John HaireEditor, Cass City ChronicleCass City, Michigan

Dear Mr. Haire:

Upon reading your headline,"GRID COACH BIFOSS FIREDBY BOARD," I was struck by awave of momentary shock. Itwas difficult for me to under-stand how a person such as Mr.Bifoss could merit being dis-missed from his position atC.C.H.S. I have always thoughthighly of him, knowing how muchrespect he receives from thosewho know him, and how loyallyand faithfully he has supportedour student body.

After reading the headline,I proceeded to read the articlebelow. Although the headline hadimplied that Mr. Bifoss hadcommitted some unforgiveabledeed, I found that he had donenothing which would lead stu-dents, or anyone else to feeldisappointed in him.

The headline which was usedfor this article was disgustinglymisleading, insinuating certainfacts that were wholly untrue.I feel that it was unnecessary,in poor taste, and very tact-less to print such an obnoxiousheadline.

You seem to have either for-gotten or ignored one of themajor rules of journalisticwriting. You are guilty of usingsensationalism, or what isotherwise known as "yellowjournalism." Preceding theprinting of this headline I hadbelieved that you were aboveprinting something solely be-cause YOU would benefit byattracting the attention of morereaders. You seem to have littleinsight as to just how slanderousa headline of this type may be.I should think that you wouldrealize the importance of a pro-per headline, as many people,unfortunately, read only theheadlines.

I believe that Mr. Bifoss andhis wife have contributed theirtime and efforts selflesslytothe Cass City school system.Mr. Bifoss' refusal "to takethe easy way out and resign"is symbolic of the entire fam-ily's attitude. They do not de-serve the treatment which hasbeen given to them by your

INGREDIENTSIn the future, as in the past,

it's character and worth thatmakes the big difference.

newspaper.Nor does anyone else.After reading this headline, it

is hard for me to comprehendthat it was printed in the samenewspaper which received athird place rating, in state-widecompetion, for its news re-porting and coverage.

Sincerely,Sandra K. Holcombllth gradeCass City High School

Your headline:Yellow Journalism

February 14,1969Mr. John HaireChronicleCass City, Mich.

Dear Mr, Haire:

I think your headline in lastweek's Chronicle — "GridCoach Bifoss Fired by Board"— is a prime example of yellowjournalism, and is totally un-worthy of use in our Com-munity's paper. This is, afterall, the 20th century, and sucha sensationalistic statement isnot needed at all—especially ina small-town newspaper.

The line, although certainlyan eye-catcher, is extremelyderogatory to Mr. Bifoss and itentirely sensationalizes thesituation. Anyone not alreadyknowing the facts would auto-matically think that Mr. Bifosshad done something very w^rong,and is now a person to be re-garded with distaste, as theheadline implies. There you arecreating the wrong impressionfor your own benefit insteadof simply reporting the facts.

I'm sure the Bifoss familydoes not appreciate the stun-ning implication the headlinegives, any more than many ofwe journalism students ap-preciate or can condone thesensationalism employed.

(And isn't it supposed to beup to our wise, experiencedelders to show us the "rightway" of doing things?)

Sincerely yours,Marsha Searls11th gradeCass City High School

A Christian manDear Editor:

-In regards td"th61iig letteredfront page item last week aboutJohn Bifoss, you didn't have to

plaster it all over the frontpage. Just when the school had agood Christian man for a coach,but had no material to workwith, it wasn't his fault. So theschool board gets discussededand you make front page head-lines of it. I don't think thatwas very nice and have heardothers say the same. I thinkyou owe the man an apology.You just don't seem to haveany feelings for some people.
