O Chorus Director Bruce Waher

• Lake Odessa Fai r visitors over

the holiday probably noticed t'-e Showboat advertisement in the Fa i r ' s official program. This ad is part of the publicity committee s a t tempt to inform as many peo-ple as possible of the 1961 Show-boat dates, July 24 through 29.

• If last year was any Indication,

about $4,000 will be spent on all forms of Showboat publicity. Be-cause of Its community nature, the Showboat also ra tes much f r e e publicity. For example, WOOD-TV will match every spot announcement the Showboat cor-poration buys with a f r ee plug. At two dollars per second of ;.ir time, this seems to us to be most generous.

• Buck Berry, well-known WOOD-

land cowboy, will be special guest of the Showboat at the Family night performance, Monday, July 24.

O Work on the new sea-wall be-

fore the Showboat grandstand Iras been completed by the construction crews and the river has been raised to its normal height. The new cement structure will prevent the r iver bank before the grand-stand from eroding away and will permit extra seats to be set up on the north side of the s tage to accommodate the expected over-flow crowds.

sa last Saturday to plug the Show-boat before the crowds visiting the Lake Odessa Fai r . Accom-panying 1961 Showboat Queen Karlene Detmers were the mem-bers of her court: Phyllis Rose, Sandy Rose. Karen LaDue, and Elsie Backstrom. Guy Quiggle drove Cary Stiff, jr., and the Show-boat calliope through the parade, and Albie Wittenbich and J im Barber provided cunvertibles for the Showboat royalty.

O Mechanical break-down forced

one of the queen's convertibles to drop out of the Lake Odessa par-ade last Saturday just a s the line-of-march was starting to move down the main street. After a somewhat hysterical f lurry of chif-fon and rhinestone, the court mem-bers were all squeezed Into the remaining convertible and the Low-ell contingent made the run with-out fur ther hitch.

O The Showboat queen and mem-

bers of h r r court visited Comstock Pa rk and Sand Lake on July 4.

O Riding down river on the Show-

" In traveling throughout the s ta te and observing all types of communities, large and smal l . " Hall sa:d, "I believe thai one of the serious handicaps to industrial growth in Michigan has been the inability of local communities io adjust to the needs of modern in-dustry. Sometimes this is due to relnrtance fo make adjustments in public expenditures, due to tl.e need to supply proper facilities and utilities to new developments. For example, several weeks ago I v!s-ited a community that was about to lose a sizable industry because of the unwillingness of the City Council to extend water facilites to permit tho company to put in a sprinkler system required by the same public body. The most competitive enterprise in the coun-t ry today is the competition oe-tween cities and states for pay-mils, and any community thai is not able to move fast enough to meet competition will suffer m

id Near 3% Received For School Bonds

Lowell Area school board Wed-nesday evening received the most favorable bid obtained in the past decade for the S300.000 in bonds approved by the citizens in April.

The low bid of Kenower & Mac-Arthur and Company called for a total average Interest of 3.06511 per cent Interest cost over the twenty year period of 583,218.05.

There were seven bidders and all were well under 3.5 percent: the favorable bids were attributed by the school attorney, Paul O. Strawhecker, to the 'A* Moody rat ing of the school district. This rat ing among governmental un-its somewhat like a Dunn and Bradstreet rat ing among business is obtained by showing that the school's management and valuation provides maximum security for in-vestors.

The bond dealers, Strawhecker said, are confident that this bond Issue will be paid off by the dis-trict in about 9 years.

The bonds will be ready and the cash delivered to the school about August 1, the architects, Rob inson, Campau and Crowe, will have the plans and specifications ready so that bids for the new school can be taken about the middle of August.

Construction on the new school could get started before the first of September. Completion will be made in about six months.

Location of the school on the site just south of the C & O rail-road right-of-way cn Bancroft Street in Alto was discussed, and it was agreed t h a t the school should be close to the south line of the properly. A complete sur-vey of the site Is being comple-ted.

The regular July meeting of the school board will be scheduled at 8 p. m. on Monday, July 10.

tho economic losses that result from migration of industry."

Hall commented on the oppor-tunity that now exists in Lowell if it is willing to accept progress that is being offered it in the form of a new industry that will employ from 200 to .100 employees. Ho pointed out that this new in-dustrial development alone will result in an economic revitaliza-tlon that is actually measurable as a result of research that shows what happens for each 100 jobs created in a community. It means 172 more employees added In the community; 338 more poeple 'ivr ing in the community; 117 more households necessary to house the additional people; 51 more school children attending public schools; 54 more residential telephones in-stalled In the community; 165 more passenger cars sold by deal-ers in the community: 3 more retail establishments necessary to' serve the community; 5590.000 more total pe/sonal income added to the community: $270,000 more bank deposits made In the com-munity; 5457.000 more In retail sales in stores in the community.

These sales are distributed as follows: Grocery 589,000 Eating and Drinking 38.000 Department Stores 57,000 Clothing & Shoe Stores 32.000 Auto Dealers 64,000 Service Stations 25,000 Lumber & Bldg. Materials 19,U00 Other 33,000

Total $457,000

Multlpy that by 2 or 3 hundred and you can measure that value to Lowell.

In addition Hall commented on the proposal to build another l ^ i million dollar project in a reslr dentlal area . The money that Low-ell will have to put out for addi« tlonal sewer and water connections will not only be self-liquidating, but will pay for itself many t imes over through service charges and additional taxes added by these new assessments on new proper-ties.

Hall stated that Lowell has an opportunity to demonstrate to the entire nation that a small local community can he self-reliant, self-sufficient, a n d can grow through pr ivate enterprise and pri-vate initiative without the forced doses of federal dollars as advoca-ted by the Federal Government today as a cure for sick d t i e f . He gave a prescription for healthy communities, and listed the follow-ing points as being essent ia l :

1. A healthy community must have the willingness of the local community to bo alert to oppor-tunities for advancement. 55 or ex-ample, he stated that some peo-ple have sufficient confidence in Lowell to Invest several million dollars, and he warned against an over-cautionary attitude in the ex-penditure of a few thousand doU lars In public funds. He said, " I t would seem that a few thousand dollars Investment to get 4 or 5 million in return would be pret ty substantial dividends."

2. A healthy community must have employment opportunities ior Its citizens, an adequate supply of qualified and responsive people to fill the needs of Its employers^ and facilities and services to take care of the increased population that industrial and commercial growth at t racts .

3. A healthy community mus t have a job-producing cl imate con-sisting of adequate educational facilities, good employer-employee relations, absence of unwarranted work stoppages and slowdowns, and evidence of constructive and fair management , and If organlzad, sensible union leadership.

4. A healthy community must have honest, relatively efficient, and progressive community gov* emmont . This government mus t must be geared to the m o d e m needs of shifting and rapidly changing needs of Industry, who In turn must meet growing com-petition in a delicately balanced economy.

Hall emphasized the absolute necessity for strong, aggressive leadership and named a good Chamber of Commerce as a logi-cal center of this leadership. He stated that leadership should an-ticipate developments and p r epa re for them rather than trying to take preventive measures a f t e r It is too late.

The Elementarv School: A Compotlfe Picture

Out of the 1960 White H o u s e Conference on Children and Youth and from more than 235 recom-mendations that either implicitly or explicitly pointed at the ele-mentary schools, has come a com-pusit picture of the Ideal school.

Such an elementary s c h o o l would be characterized by the fol-lowing :

It is true to the American ideal. It knows its role. It sees itself c s a part of the

community. It draws on the family for

strength. It tries to educate all children. It Is concernud about the Indi-

vidual. It has a curriculum consistent

with its role. It helps children develop values

to live by. It Is objective about Itself. It provides ear ly for young chil-

dren. I t provides special educational

services. It has a highly professional staff. It supplies the teacher with

toois. It has the physical plant to

match its program.

Martin Says Dems Peril West Mich.

John B. Martin, republican can-didate for delegate to the Con-stitutional Convention, said today, "The tip off to democratic Con-Con strategy came when Atty Gener-al . democrat , Paul Adams advocated a one-house legisla-ture based on pop-ulation alone. This would make West-e m Michigan a sat-ellite of Detroit ," Martin added.

In addition to a growing concern for this tlireat lo the strength of Western Michigan, voters a re also expressing InteremT. in the forthcoming Constitutional' Convention. Martin reported, with questions a s follows:

Q. How old Is our present c o n ^ stltutlon?

A. 53 yea r s — approved In 1908. It has been amended 66 times.

Q. Will "a totally new consUtution be required?

A. Not necessarily. Many provi-sions can and should remain as hey are . Where we can avoid

i hange there Is an advantage be-cause new language always re-quires new court interpretation.

Q. Will Con-Con meetings be open to the public?

A. If I have a voice in making convention rules, all meetings will be completely open to the public.

It has been said that through his work in the Michigan Senuie and as Auditor General. John Mar-tin probably has a better working knowledge of government at every level than any other republican in Michigan today.

Republicans voting for John 2 . Martin In the republican primary on Tuesday, July 25, have the oji-portunlty to send a strong and re-liable republican to the Constitut ional Convention.

By Tour S. O. D. Director! DONALD RUNE, 8. O. 8. Editor

Fred Bouma, Kent County Drain Commissioner In cooperation with the Kent, Ottawa, and Allegan Soil Conservation Districts and tlie Extension Service of the throe counties will hold a public meet-ing, July 18, 7:30 p. m. a t the Byron Center High School.

The purpose of this meeting for the proposed Public Law 566. "Kotlgan" watershed dra inage and flood prevention project is to ac-quaint ail land owners in the 3 districts as to what can be done. Not only can Byron Township and Ottawa farm owners be benelit-ted by controlled, improved drain-age but AUegan land owners at the lower end of the Black River ca r be protected from flooding.

Local cost sharing and the nec-essary conservation protection to be done are Important factors in this proposed watershed improve-ment.

* * * We picked our first garden peas,

June 20. The "Little G e m " came first followed by t h e "Lincoln' ' variety. The Lincolns a r e really full of pods. They were planted the day after "Good F r i d a y . "

Remember when we thought we had a start on a good garden if we had new peas and new pota-toes by the 4lh of Ju ly? Soaking the seed over night and treating with a nitrogen bacteria both help to make a good crop. Now we will have some more space for late cabbage, brocolli and cauliflower.

F a r m gardens a re par t of any good conservation f a rm plan. We find many cooperators who raise a crop of clover on half of the garden as a green manure crop to be plowed down for next years' garden spot.

Merrill Post, Courtland Twp. found that by only plowing and then planting peas in his McBrlde soil., produced better crop of this crop than where he had leveled the plowed soil. There a re less early weeds to contend wiih and early summer rains can soak bet-ter. An old garden spot probably has more weed seed per square foot than any other par t of the f a rm . Most f a rms can mulch the garden to keep down weeds and to conserve moisture.

* • • Strawberry growers and orchard

men in Alpine Twp. a r e somewhat discouraged by the light straw-berry crop and the small plum crop this year . Late frosts and dry weather have reduced or com-pletely killed these crops where irrigation and straw mulch pro-tection was not used. However, apples, peaches, and pears will probably be a good crop.

Where Lloyd Host was able to get straw on his upland berry beds he was able to save his crop but dry weather has taken its toll. His lower ground cipp was a complete loss.

Joe Alt, a district cooperator for many years is convinced that summer cover crops this year and orchard seeding . to rye grass and fescue next spring are need ed in his orchards. His prune-plums, because of clean cultiva-tion. make too much new growth. He feels that his peaches will "harden off" better also if grass is used on his Fox and Bellfon-talne soils. He is watching re-sults of herbicide sprays to con-trol grasses around the trees.

W® visited Joe, June 28. when we assisted him with a revised conservation f a rm and orchard plan to include an additional 50 acres, the former Mike Pits.'h fa rm. We visited his f a rm office which has a sign " J o e Alt. Of-f ice" at the door. With 240 acres of orchards and f a r m crops, a dairy herd of 20 holsteins. a white Leglwrn flock, and feeder pigs, tho farm clfice is certainly in line for Joe.

The Alt's nine children are a big help with most of the fa .m operation. Joe misses his oldest son. Tom, who will be away be cause of his four yea r stint in the air force, but he feels that Tom wil return to the f a r m . Here is a "family-type diversified farm' in action. They a re interested con servation cooperators. Narrower field strips on the north 80 acres will be used next year .

TIIINUS TO COME A sweet note for lobbyists is the

bee feeder, queen bee and 400 wor-ker bees for honey making and bee-ralslng at home. The snul l unit may be mounted in a window. Complete Instructions on install-ation and care come with the set . . . A new piaslic anti-glare visor with suction cups is now avail-able to motorists. It can be mounted at any angle and is easy to remove.

DOROTHY JUDD. CANDIDATE FOR CON-CON, URGES "DO-IT-YOURSELF" GOVERNMENT

Two recent news Items should put those who value grassroot democracy on the alert .

One was a letter reporting the stress in Ihe U. S. Conference of Mayors placed on the imporliuice of "local Initiative, lead-ershlp and action" in the use of "Federal assistance, power and n 'sources." The other a statement by Senator Har t on a conference of Mbhigau municipal officials with Federal De-partment Heads called to "make sure that Michigan cities are aware of what is available to them in a reas of Federal activi-ty which can directly assist them."

The questioiiH to be asked by the local citizen a r e : Where Is the State Government in this picture? Is this by passing of the Slate sapping Us authority? II the State's power withers away, how long will our cities and counties, legally creatures of the Slate, deriving their right of nelf government irom the State. IH- able to maintain this right?

Chief obstacle keeping local governments from doing many jobs for themselves is the lack ol authority and revenue due to restrictions we ourselves put into our State Constitution a century ago. The granting of nuch authority and Ilnaheial re-sources to dor Iih'jsI gMvernmenta through Conntitutionul rcvitt-inn would he a first step toward easing the pressure for the transfer of local res|K)nsibUlty to WuHhlngton, with ultimate loss of our local independence.

(iranting Michigan alone can't check the growing reliance on Wasliinglon, it is hopeful lo know that five states have modern-ized their constitutions since the war and that twenty othera are working at it. If Michigan could d ra f t and adopt a Con-stitution enah'ing it to serve its needs without submission lo Federal controls, we would provide leadership for other Stales. There would iiien he hope that nationalism could be checked was grassroot democracy preserved. p]6
