Main Street Has Fire Scare
Lowell's West Main street store owners had a scare Sunday just afternoon when acrid smoke was sighted coming f rom the top of the buildings in the center df the south side of the first block west of the bridge.
Police Chief Frank Stephens was in the cruiser driving . near the Ford garage when h e saw the smoke, and rushed to the scene.
At first it was believed the f i f e might be in the building Nvhere Ralph's Furni ture is located, but the old adage "where there's smoke there 's fire" did not run true in this instance.
It was finally discovered, upon reaching the roof of the buildings, that the ampce teas coming from a cWmney in the Hill Shoe Store buUdlhg. Investigation revealed that the. pro*t1*or of ' t he shfle proprietor
cleaning 01 dut the chimnev which serves his building,

Hill was on the roof, watching the chimney to see that no trouble occurred. He stated he was woo-
xeadlng this hem about beraeU (U nn.T where the fire was when he beard the whistle, and safprteed to t e e "oooapany" a r r i v

Ahother fire alarm, T W s d a y afternoon at 3:30, sent the volun-teers to 12W6 Vergcnnes id., the Florence Sweets residence, lirst house on the south side of the road east of Foxes Corners.
Mrs. Sweets was burning ruebish, and the ffre goc away from her and headed for a small forest of young pines. The blaze was quenched by the Lowell f iremen.

Bonhle, IS-year-oid daughter of the C. Lawton Coles, had been helping her dad with the haying for two weeks but last Wednesday she was "just riding around on the wagon for fun", as sufficient workmen were available and her help wasn't necessary.

THIS IS NATIONAL FARM
SAFETY WEEK
Lowell businessmen have been neglecting their offices for the past three weeks, and using their best »alra techniques to promote the biggest chain deal to hit this town since the craze of the early thir-ties.
The "bond cha in" is the main subject of conversation in this town nowadays. If two or mora folks get together for a few minutes the topic soon gets around to "Have you got in on the big bond deal yet?"
Bank Reportn
The Lowell State Savings bank reports their savings bond sales are up over 220 per cent from last month. For the flrsl twenty days of July they have sold $5.-622.50 worth of bonds. For the same period in June sales were only Sl.724.90.
How many bonds have been pur-chased elsewhere by Lowell par-ticipants in (he b\g plan cannot be determined.
R e c e i v e SS.IIOO One Lowell man says he has
already received $3,800 in govern-ment bonds from the plan which he entered only a few weeks apo.
The chain plan promoters claim you can receive a total of $38,400 worth of bonds, that is the actual cash value of the paper; if hi;!d to maturi ty they would be worth $51.200..
The salesmen selling bond chain letters will give you the following
It contains a list of 10 names. You type two more letters, a f te r buy-ing a fifty dollar bond for the first name on the list leaving that fellow's name off your two new-letters. You add your name as the 10th on the list, and go out and sell your two letters for $37.50 a-plece. You are right back where you started moneywiie you've spent $75.(X) and you have taken in $75.00, Noyv. all you have to do Is sit back and wait for your bonds lo start coming in.
Same Old " ( I m l n " However, it must be remember-
ed that this is the s ame old chain letter deal if someone doesn't "pay out" you don't "ge t" . Unless Utopia Is really here, someone will got stuck.
In this particular plan, however, they have avoided breaking exist-ing laws by personally selling the letters, and not sending them through the government mails. And. the fact that in order to receive a letter you must pay out some cold hard cash will urge, you to. keep the chain goinj;. and not just drop the le t ter in a con-venient waste basket.
The only way to break the chain is to fail to sell the letters.
The government is going to be pretty pleased with this . sudden burst in bond s a l e s -bu t what will happen about sixty-days from now when these happy folks start cash-ing in their riches?
threatened the opening of the Sil-ver anniversary year of the Lo-well Showboat. July 22 right up len-til showtime, but for some reason the old faithfuls who love outdoor entertainmpnt were undaunted and the 'arsest opening-night throng in the history of the show were in the stands to enjoy the 109th per-formance.
The show went off beautifully for a first-nighter, despite the lack of time to get the mikes and lights in proper shape because of the rain. These problems were success-fully solved by Tuesday night when the show went off at a highly pol-ished pace.
In Time?
A very bad sign if you're super-s t i t ious-s tar ted off the show Mon-day. however, to horrify any old-timers; The band on the dock and the school band on the boat came in together on exactly the same key when the Robert E. Lee XXV pulled up to dock, and the pro-fessional musicians took over the theme of "Here Comes the Show-boat". „ ,
Usually there is a little first-night faltering here, and a slight change in key. Such perfection as occurred Monday w a s aknost enough to scare a sign-watching follower of Showboat. But the "sign" must have been h good one; we shouldn't worry so much!
U'n u Thrill
" I never g(jt over the thrill of seeing the boat come to the dock and hearing the cast singing 'Here Comes the Showboat* ", said one steady customer of opening night —ard it appears that this is not only one person's opinion.
The sight of the boat pulling in to the dock, and the beautiful decorations coming in to view us the Robert E. l^?e turns her glit-tering side to the audience, is something not to be forgotten.
Perhaps if you have never seen the boat close up during the dismal nOn-Showlx)at months, when she is nothing but a few pieces of wood on some oil drums, you may not be able to appreciate the wonder of It all. But we didn't notice any-one in the crowd who wasn't at-tentively watching the spectacle with avid interest.
The Show
Enough of (he boat—let's talk about (he show. It was by fa r one of the cleanest cut programs we have seen -no t an act seems to be out of line. There is a great variety of entertainment for the youngsters as well as the adults.
As usual. Admiral Carlton H. Runclman, Inteflocutor for the past 25 years, and his six endmen. Forrest Buck, Charles Doyle, Ber-nard Kropf, carroi i Hurch. Wai-ter Gumser and William Jones, have mitdone themselves In try-ing to keep (he show moving on a hilarious no(e.
Runcl presides with his genial ability to put everyone at ease, and keep the pace moving. And the endmen start out tile program with their rendition of "My Indi-ana Home", which few will rec-ognize as.(ho original number (hey once (bought (hey knew. This is not meant disrespectfully, it's jus( »hn( (he boys have "aKered" It a bit.
Veterans all. the black boys pre-sent their songs, backed by a 100-voles chorus, with ureat ability. Forrest Buck sings "On the Mlss-
Tax Rill is Over Half Paid
The I/nvell village tax bills, to-taling $38,374.53. a re over h a l f paid, eccording to village treasurer Esther M. Fahmi.
Payment of the summer taxes have been coming in good, accord-inc to Mrs. Fahmi . and most everyone will be in before the July deadlin®. when the 3 per cent penalty will go on.
It pays to read the Ledger want ads.
Dixie Melody", which Jer ry Lewis recently revived on a nadonal scale. Bernard Kropf sings and plays his saxophone to the tune of "Bir th of the Blues", and Chris Burch does a fine Job on 'And They Called it Dixieland".
Bill Jones had some of us old-timers worded during his number when he brought out a full-sized trumpet to complete his number "Seven. Come Eleven", but when (he boys came along dragging his Utile cornet (which he picked up d u r i n g the war in Germany) we settled back and enjoyed this fine number.
By request. Walter Gumaer is again bringing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" to the show, and (he audience as always. Is happy (o join In for an extra chorus. .
Pro's a re Good!
All (he professionals a re fine a d s , but it appears by the end of (he week Johnny Bachemln—pro-bably unknown to most 'of us in this area—will be (he top act. Mon-day night he was encored with great enthusiasm. He dances with ail (he rhythm of the Step Broth-ers. who were with ti'V Showboat last year, but he haa a style of Ms own, and plays a mean piano also.
Unscheduled Bit A bit of unscheduled comedy was
added to the Monday show when the first chimpanzee to appear in the Marquis family act took x dis-like to the soot-black endmen, and was so disturbed the boys had to leave tho stage. One endman tried (o peak from the boat and view (he chimp In his performance, but the little fellow caught him in the act, and his attention just would not remain on Mr. Marquis, or the peanut tidbits he was offer-ing him (o do a good job.
OreiU Fandly Act
Everyone from sonny to great-grandpa will enjoy (he VemOn and Bumpy act. The family of father, two daughters, (one age 3) and fours sons are artls(s in balanc-ing tricks. Dad literally throws caution to the wind, but it doesn't bother (he youngsters. As the sec-ond professional act they really pep up the show.
The first pros are the Lenore Sutton dancers, who have return-ed to Showboat af ter having visit-ed us several times before. Their rhythm routines, and their later acrobatic number, a re dene with fine precision and skill.
Another professional apt is "Deb-hie and the Diplomats", a quartet of three men and one girl—sing-ing rock and roll, and some light classics.
The Hanuoalcats
The Harmonlcats, who appeared in Ionia last year, have improveo (heir act we (hlnk for the 1957 Lowell Showboat. No one can tire of the artistry of these (hree men on (he harmonice^ which a r e now elec(ronlcaily reproduced to make an entire new sound. Yes, they offer "Peg O' My Hear t" a s one of (heir numbers—it was scheduled, but before It came on the audience was calling for it.
Ail in all. frolh "Are You From Dixie" (o "The Robert E. Lee", the Silver Anniversary of the Low-ell Showboat is a fine show. Don't miss it.
' Water Show
And. don't forget to be in your seat by 7:30 to see the Macatawa Beach Water Ski Club give their spectacular water show right up to boat time. They have some fine new stunts, and Charles Sligh him-self will be here Friday and Sat-urday nights.
Free Ride, Kids
•And. another 'don ' t forget" is (he re tum boat ride at 4:30 each afternoon, when the kids and their baby-sitters (mums tqp) can ride up Flat river to the loading dock —This is all par t of showboat.
You ought to spend at least one night watching the boat load on Riverside dr., and take its trip down river too. That is always a
thrill I

The act arrived in I/nvcll Fri-day evening, having driven f m n Las Vegas. Nevada, where they last appeared. The chimps are housed In an air-conditioned trail-er. parked by the home-ec house near the grandstand, on Lafayette «t.
One of the little fellows became sick Saturday and a lowell doctor was called. Then another one fell 111. It it believed the two may have taken some water which was not pure, or disagreed with them, during their trip to Lowell from Nevada.
Perhaps the comforts of o u r modem age have spoiled the little fellows. At any rate, post mortems were to be taken fo ascertain the cause of their death.

One of the deceased chimps was newly-purchased and In the pro-cess of being trained for the act, according to Mr. Marquis. The oth-er held only a minor par t . There a re eight remaining members of the "fc tnl ly" , and some of them have b e e n under Mr. Marquis ' care for over 13 years.
