Their first big hit " B y e , Bye Love" was recorded in 1950. Since then such great songs as "Wake Up Li t t le Susie," "All I Have T o Do Is D r e a m , " "Till I Kissed Y o u , " "Ca thy ' s C lown ," and "Walk Right B a c k , " have earned them gold rec-ords .

The "Famous Chair" The first chair used by a Showboa t in ter locutor in 1932, is

still being used in the of f ice of the Lowell U d g e r .

The chair , recalls Harold F. Jefferies, publisher, was taken from the furni ture c o m p a n y , and belonged to Jerry Cook, w h o then ran the factory. Mr. Cook was the fa ther of George Cook, our local a t to rney .

Jeffer ies father , fo rmer edi tor and publisher of t h e Ledger, the late Remick Jeffer ies , was a close f r iend of Mr. Cook . So when t h e big per formance wa« over 39 years ago. t h e clean-up crew mistakenly delivered the chair to the Ledger o f f i ce .

Mr. Jeffer ies refused to re turn it at that t ime, and his f r iends had a lot of fun joking abou t the " f a m o u s " chair.

Jeffer ies , who serves the Ci ty of Lowell as its Mayor , recalls that his father eventually paid Mr. Cook for the privilege of keeping the historic piece, and it is still being used by the present office s t a f f .

'Here Comes The Showboat' T h e happy and rousing shout " H e r e Conies the S h o w b o a t "

will e cho across the scenic Flat River where it wanders th rough

this pleasant, p rospe rous town of Lowell .

For the 39th year , t he colorful c ra f t tha t f loa ts o n 120 bar-

rels, with a ba t te ry of ou tboa rd m o t o r s pushing he r , will sail

down the river on t w o week end pe r fo rmances t o doc k before

audiences.

F r o m opening n ight , Ju ly 22, when the Rober t E. Lee docks

at 8 : 3 0 in f ron t of t h e stands, until Ju ly 3 1 , the last pe r fo rm-ance fo r the cast of b o t h amateur and professional en ter ta iners

- s o m e 35,000 persons will have been in o n the f u n .

Star ted as a c o m m u n i t y project in the depress ion years , the Lowell Showboat has been roll, roll, rolling along a t a br isk and

busy clip through a l ighthearted h i s to ry .

T h e formula of success is part luck, a lot of hard work by jus t abou t evc tyone in town , the tr ick of b lending t op -no t ch pro-

fessional stars w i th t h e talented h o m e f o l k s .

The Showboa t is billed as a "minst re l show under the stars. It 's really more than tha t . I t ' s a mixture of nostalgia, rock 'n roll, y o u t h , and the y o u n g at hear t .

The Showboa t is a place where businessmen, f a rmers , house-wives, school kids join the big names of television fo r a program

of solid e n t e r t a i n m e n t .

For the impor t ed ta lent , i t ' s a chance t o work y o u r hear t out - a n d love i t - b e f o r e audiences that won ' t let you give up . I t ' s al-

so a week to re lax, swim, walk quiet s t reets away from the bustle

Sixty-five years of exper ience singing, by-playing, do ing com-edy rout ines , and ad-libbing t o help make the e n t e r t a i n m e n t of ^ the Lowell Showboa t move right along, is a p r o d u c t of this year 's

W o l v e r i n e Harness Raceway

Opens Second Season

Wolverine Harness Raceway opens its second season starring the Championship Mile Track at Livonia on Wednesday, August 4 with every premise pointed toward the greatest season in its long history.

When the Livonia plant went to the mile track for the first time in 1970, many horsemen and fans felt that the full size track would lack the appeal of the more intimate half-miler. This proved far from the truth as a record 473,157 fans clicked turnstiles pushing $34,367,576 through the mutual wickets for another record.

Racewise, the transition was equally healthy as sheer speed became the by-word with no less than 10 two minute miles post-ed forever. Great name horses like Most Happy Fella, Laverne Hanover, Albatross, and Michigan's own Knox Patch chalked u p records and races that will take some doing to beat.

The 1971 season at Wolverine has been lengthened by 16 nights and will close October 30. It is anticipated that the long-er session will be to the liking of fans and horsemen alike. The fans will be able to enjoy the mile racing while stables will be able to settle down at Wolverine until almost time for winter training.

IN MEMORIAM

In memoiv of Fred Pinckney Sr., who passed away 14 years ago. July 19, 1957.

The soul divinely sings In spite of pain and care

When mounting on ethereal wings It breathes the upper air.

When earthly strife and din Are bidden to depart.

And soul-content to dwell within, Gives comfort to the heart

Thus, in the silence sweet. Of meditation, blest

The soul itself knows no defeat, But finds its perfect retL

Sadly missed by his Granddaughter, Judith Weeks.

OLD BUSINESS

1. Discussion of extension of sewer services t o Key Heights Mobile Home Park ( formerly Cumberland Estates) and to East-gate Plats in Lowell Township west of LoweU.

Harold Barr of the Environmental Division of the State Health Department was present, in t roduced Thomas Wasbotten and Kenneth Burda of the State Wastewater Section, Messrs. Ettes-vold and DePres of County DPW, Carr and Rober t s of Williams & Works, Engineers, Jack Batzer and associate of Key Heights Mobile Home Park, Jack Bowie representing Everett Ladd of the Eastgate Woods Plat in Lowell Township.

Barr reviewed the history of the request for service services, beginning with the first owner of Key Heights Mobile H o m e Park (J. Ramjee t ) in 1969, who requested that the City o f Low-ell extend sewer services to his development . Council agreed that it could be done, with the applicant paying for the installa-tion into the city limits. Williams & Works, Engineers for the City, est imated the cost to be approximately $ 1 1 4 , 0 0 0 for 10" sanitary sewer and 6 " force main to the l i f t s ta t ion . Noth ing fur ther was heard from the first applicant. In March of 1971 the new owner of the Mobile Home Park, J . Batzer, asked the Planning Commission to recommend to the Council that the sewer main be extended to his Park but the Planning recom-mended that Batzer meet with Lowell Township officials and together finance a feasibility s tudy that would in fo rm all con-cerned of the potential need for ten or fifteen years in t ha t area. Batzer met with no cooperat ion f rom Lowell Township , then spent money for plans and design for a sewage t rea tment plant to service his own development .

City Council , basing their decision on recommenda t ion nf Engineers Williams & Works to first procure a feasibility s tudy, declined to become involved. Williams & Works advised tha t a feasibility s tudy would be essential in order to effect ively de-sign sewage t rea tment facilities to accommodate usage over a ten or fifteen-year period. Without knowing projected populat ion growth and projected needs, no design could be fo r thcoming .

Barr, f rom the State Health Depar tment , con tac ted the City office in the belief that the development of Everett Ladd ' s west of the Mobile Home Park, should also be served by a sewage treatment p lant , rather than septic tanks, and for tha t reason, all were meet ing at this t ime and for this purpose .

J. Bowie, counsel for Everett Ladd, s ta ted that the C o u n t y had given the Ladd development of Eastgate Woods a permit for use of septic tanks, that going to a sewage t rea tment plant would add $2 ,000 to the price of each lot , and that his cl ient had no interest in hooking o n t o any sewage t rea tment system.

Mayor Jefferies reiterated the need of the feasibility s tudy , since Key Heights originally asked for hook-ons for abou t 2 0 0 mobile units , now is seeking hook-ons for 400 , IF he were to hook on at all. Batzer repeated that he will be aptly served by his own unit bu t County and State representatives feel o n e t reatment facility for the whole area would be more ideal.

He emphasized that an over-all long-range plan be developed since already a great deal of the Township is involved. Supervis-or Elmci Siiiith was contac ted , came to the meet ing but was un-able to commi t the Township Board in a promise to help finance a feasibility s tudy, even though it was the consensus that the benefit of the study would accrue principally to the Township .

Barr summarized wha t , in his opinion, were two philosophies about the feasibility s tudy:

1) If the sewage facility is to be designed to include the Mo-bile Home Park, it could include a large por t ion of the Town-ship. There must be a certain amount of conjec ture . Maybe there will be an area out there to be developed by s o m e o ther developer; an over-all plan for the area for that reason is essen-tial. The City of Lowell cannot evaluate i t ; it must be evaluated by the Lowell Township.

2) The o ther philosophy is that Batzer stands ready to apply his money on getting in to Lowell. If Ladd is going t o develop more, we will need more capaci ty.

Bowie, speaking for Ladd, stated he is told they would have to connect on to the sewer within the nex t ten years . He said that septic tanks had been approved by the Coun ty and the State for 2 1 8 lots in Eastgate, about 75% of which are complet-ed and the rest in the process of cons t ruc t ion . He added tha t the land was selected several years ago as a good locat ion as re-gards t raff ic , shopping, et cetera that would service the working man. Soil condit ion was considered. 2 1 8 sites were approved for septic tank use. Also a water supply was developed. About 45 days ago the County and State turned down Ladd ' s request for permits . Ladd then employed Engineer Van Laar t o produce a study of the cost to ex tend sewage lines f rom the City of LoweU to Ladd 's development . They did not ask whe the r Low-eU was interested in taking on the development or whe ther Low-ell had the capacity. $ 2 2 0 , 0 0 0 was determined to be the cost to the Ladd development . They have come to the conclusion that with 3 5 4 lots, the cost of running sanitary sewer and necessary lift stations - forget t ing the me thod of financing -would increase the net per lot by $2 ,000 . FHA wou ld no t pur-

nvt an increase in the price of the house to satisfy t he increased cost , so the developer would be required to pick u p $2 ,000 per lot on houses in the $18-to-$22,000 class. This does not include any cost to the City of Lowell , nor the expense for the use of the t reatment plant . All of this would be "economic suicide" for Ladd, he s ta ted . He also cited the risk involved in selling the houses.

Fttesvold of the Coun ty Health Depar tment s tated there was nothing on record to show that public sewers are not feasible. But, he added, they know that septic tanks arc only t emporary , at best. They have learned a lot about septic tanks and drain fields and feel that they cannot al low approximately 4 0 0 trailers and possibly 700 homes - a total of 1,100 units - on septic tanks .

Barr and Wasbotten quest ioned Ladd 's cost figures.

Councilman Reynolds s tated Lowell would have more users within its limits and he s ta ted public opinion is tha t the proper-ty owners do not want m o r e bonding and would oppose extend-ing the sewer lines outside of the City if it meant more cost to the taxpayer. Engineer Rober t s said tha t cities do sell sewer services at a p rof i t and LoweU could d o the same. Engineer Cair emphasized the need for a feasibility s tudy, stating that if Low-eU is going to add 400 mobUe homes and possibly 7 0 0 houses, these facts must be known. Wasbotten also recognized the need for the study, as did Councilman Mueller. Mueller stated he did not think the City should pay for i t , al though possibly they could cont r ibute 1/3 of the cost, even though it would benefi t Lowell Township mostly.

Batzer revealed that he was put t ing in a plant big enough to service 400 mobile home units; the p lant would be technically more 'sophist icated ' a p lant than Lowell now has. He did say he would pay $1 ,000 toward the feasibility s tudy if it did not delay him too much and if the Township and the City would pay a like sum. He could start construct ion on his own plant at once ; preliminary engineering had been done.

It was then agreed tha t a joint City-Lowell Township meeting would be held at the Lowell City hall on Tuesday, July 1 3 , 1 9 7 1 at 8 p.m. wi th all County and State representatives at tending who are at the meet ing ton ight .

IT WAS T H E N MOVED by Councilman Reynolds , support-ed by Mueller, that the City of Lowell accept e f f luen t f r o m the 400-uni t Mobile Home Park known as Key Heights in Lowell Township in to the City sewage system, PROVIDED, however, that the owners of Key Heights enter in to cont rac t with the City of LoweU stating tha t Key Heights wUl completely pay for 10" sewer main and a 6 " force main to the LoweU City limits;

BE IT F U R T H E R unders tood tha t J . Batzer of Key Heights wUl cont r ibute $1,000 toward a feasibility s tudy to determine the area to be serviced in the Township, provided the feasibUity s tudy wUl be produced no t later than 6 0 days f rom the da te of the July 13, 1971 joint meeting.

ness t h e J u l y 26 blast-off of Apol lo 15.

Worden's Brother Is On Apollo 15's Crew

Ever wonder wha t it would be like to take y o u r first flight

i n t o outer space, that wou ld eventual ly land y o u on the m o o n ?

Or what it would be like if a m e m b e r of your f ami ly was t o

board a moon-bound space c raf t?

" Y o u read abou t , hear a b o u t i t , bu t the reali ty of it all is

someth ing that bui lds within y o u , " Pete Worden of Lowell ,

said Monday as his family prepared for their Tuesday depa r tu re

t o the Florida launching site, where his b ro ther , Al f red , will be a m e m b e r of the Apol lo 15 crew.

Man has walked on the m o o n in previous moon-f l ights , bu t n o w he 's about t o drive on it. The t r ip will only be 22 miles.

And in the most expensive a u t o m o b i l e ever: $ 8 mil l ion, wh ich boi ls down t o abou t $ 3 6 , 3 6 3 a mile . Apcl lo 15 will t hus be a

b lend of America 's au tomot ive a n d space t echno logy .

5 toward the m o o n on July 26 . Twelve days la te r , they h o p e t o r e tu rn to earth wi th enough in fo rma t ion to enable scientists t o d raw an age map of 2 0 percent of the lunar sur face .

Some scientists feel the major scientific research on Apol lo

15 won ' t be d o n e on the surface, bu t in lunar o rb i t by Worden .

In an equ ipmen t bay of the c o m m a n d ship is a package of cameras and scientific expe r imen t s designed t o chemical ly and

photographical ly analyze the 2 0 percent of the surface over

which Apollo 15 will f ly.

One of the t w o cameras con ta ins over a mile of film, t o

take high resolut ion s tereo p h o t o s . T o retrieve the fi lm, Worden

will take a space walk a f te r the as t ronau ts s tart h o m e - a hand-

ovei-hand trip t o the e q u i p m e n t bay 200 ,000 miles f r o m ea r th . The space walk is necessary, because the bay is j e t t i soned be fo re

re-entry and does no t re turn t o ea r th with the as t ronau t s .

"My bro ther ' s walk in snare should be o n r of the hiphl iphts

of his space adven tu re , " Worden replied, " b u t w h o can judge unti l they splash-down on ear th again just w h a t phase of the

f l ight will be his greatest e n c o u n t e r . "

Blastoff comes at 1 :12 p .m . Augus t 2 a f t e r 67 hours o n t h e

m o o n ' s surface, twice the stay t i m e of any previous c rew. Link-

u p with Worden in the orbi t ing Endeavor is set fo r 3 : 0 4 p . m .

For two more days they' l l stay in orbi t conduc t ing the scient i f ic tasks Worden has been p e r f o r m i n g while circling a lone fo r three

days .

" T h e role of the lonely c o m m a n d module pilot has changed , "

Worden said. " H e is still the taxi driver wait ing fo r the o t h e r t w o

guys to re turn, bu t now he mus t carry out a de ta i led , precise or-bital science miss ion."

Apollo 15 will shoo t out of lunar orbit at 5 : 1 8 p .m . Augus t 4 , and Ihe next morn ing Worden will take his space stroll some

4 0 , 0 0 0 miles f r o m the moon to retrieve the f i lm casset tes f r o m the two cameras.

The as t ronauts will then se t t le down for a long h o m e w a r d tr ip, with splash down in the Pacif ic Ocean scheduled at 4 : 4 6 o n August 7.

"We're just as exci ted abou t the landing, as we are the take-o f f , " the Worden family revealed, as their a u t o trip t o Flor ida

will be only a mild endeavor in comparison t o the 12-day m o o n tr ip.

Medical exper ts have decided lunar materials pose n o hazard , and Apollo 15 will be the first m o o n landing crew t o escape

post-flight quaran t ine . Worden and his two travel c o m p a n i o n s

will be busy for somet ime , h o w e v e r , helping scientists s t u d y the photographs and the more than 2 5 0 pounds of rocks they plan to bring back.

In their pleasant Valley Vista h o m e on Lowell ' s West side,

the Wordcns have individual mixed emot ions abou t the fo r th -

coming flight, but t hey ' r e all ex t remely proud of Al, and h o p e tha t all goes well fo r h im.

Only 39-years-old, Alfred is a C o m m a n d e r in the Uni ted

States Air Force and will be m a k i n g his first space tr ip. He will be the mission's c o m m a n d m o d u l e pilot .

When Ju ly 26 blast-off day arrives, you can be t m o r e Lowell

residents will be a t their TV seats with renewed in teres t , and some might even say, " t h e r e goes Pete 's b r o t h e r . G o o d Luck ! Our prayers are wi th you . "

II crystal material is found by

the Apollo 15 crew, it could

date back 4.6 billion years

to the beginning of

our solar system.
