A girl must at least have the potential for functioning within the average range. They live in an open situation in which they attend local public schools and are encouraged to participate in communi ty ac t iv i t i es e n d church. Teenage girls are ad-mitted for a variety of rei JUS, such as truancy from home or school, incorrigibility, family discord. Each girl is helped t o become responsible and self-re-liant.

At this time WC gave a very generous g ft of money to help carry on this work at Girlstown. The 36 ladies present were happy to learn about the direct results of their club's service project.

Eating is the munber-lebure-t ime activity of Ameri-

To Tlur Editop Cominq Events... occupy momen t ! of A recent ABC N e w t - H t n i t S«r-vey showed thai $4 percent of those polled mentioned eating aa their moat frequent letsare-time pursuit, followed by watch-ing television (41 percent), lis-tening to radio (40 percent) and reading )39 percent).

Rounding out the top ten leisure-time activities were: lis-tening to musk at home, fixing things around the house, social activities, church or club activi-ties. and outdoor pastt imes.

Did you ever stop and think about the fact that aa we sh inside our warm houses, eating our store bought food, animals are outside trying to survive in the snow and cold?

How do they do h? First of all, some of them

don ' t have to. Have you ever seen a robin digging for worms in the winter? The robin and many other species of birds fly outh, not unlike a lot of

numaus. Their major source of food, worms and insects, cannot be found in this area dui ing the winter. Birds such a s the chicka-dee, tufted titmouse, and blue jay, and many others a re able to survive on seeds that are avail-able in the winter.

Another way aoa avoid die cold of winter is to hibernate. There are only four mammals in Michtgan that U-bernate, die brown ba t . meadow jumping mouse, woodchucki and the thirteen lined gropnd squirrel. Contrary to popular belief, die black bear , found in northern Michigan, is not a true Ubernator. h is considered a winter sleeper as h is capable of gett ing up and foraging for food on warm winter days.

In the «inter , animals have to change their eating habits, but what about staying warm? Ani-mals can' t g o to the local store and buy warm jackets like v e can, but they can grow warmer fu r coats and extra down feath-ers in the case of birds. Birds wiH also " f l u f f " up their feath-ers to create an air space that helps keep them warm. Some birds will even dive into snow banks and use the snow to insulate them from the cold.

Another adaptation uaed by a few animals in MicUgan is changing color. The anowshoe hare, fcond in northern Michi-gan. and the least weaad both turn white in order to better Mend in with the snow for protectkn from predators.

Winter is a hard time for animals and is often a limiting factor oa their population size. Artificial feeding can aomedmes help animals through hard win-ter- , but keep in mind that once you start feeding, keep it up— for animals soon depend on the steady supply of food. Should it disappear for long at mid-win-ter, they wiD soon begin to starve.

After it is all over, the strong-est and healthiest animals that survive the winter. wiD be those that breed in the spring and continue die species. Remem-ber that it is na ture ' s way that many animals die throughout the year, winter especially, and this is why such a surplus is produced each year.

W e are concerned a n d parents .

Since the abduction and mur-der of an 11-year-old Grand Rapids girl we have been mate concerned for the safety of our own children who have to walk one-half mile to the bus and back h o n e again. Linda's ab-duction happened just a block from her home. Our children waf t one-half mile in the sub-urbs. What ' s to stop someone from abducting them? One Is a girl 6, and another is a boy S.

There is a big, convenient drive to turn around in which is always cleaned out. if t he re was ' t it would be understand-able. The parents then would know their children would be safe . Everyday one of the par-ents have to be sure to be there, when they get on or off. But just suppose that they are late and the wrong person is at the bus stop. Then the whole commun-ity would have another to take up collections for flowers and

feel sorry for, for maybe a week. W e as parents have been to

the bus garage and called many times to see if they can do something so the children can be picked u p and delivered at home. But i t ' s just too much inconvenience for t he b o s driv-er, the people who make u p the routes and so it just isn ' t m>c c * Kl#. pOSSlDiC.

W e have three littie children on the half mile, who ride the same bus w h o might some day be victims. So please help us, so we won' t ever have to go through die heartbreak that the VanderVeen's are now having. We pay our school taxes as do the other people on the route. So why can' t we have our children picked up at our door? What good are taxes? Why pay them? Something must b e done.

W e also agree with the moth-er who wrote the article last week. W e fhitA the school should call if our child isn ' t in attendance.

Conscientious journalists have devised a deve r method for publishing trashy rumors without damaging their reputations as conscientious journalists. The responsibility for the trasfi is pot on the readers, not the writers.

It is called the ask-us-anything-and-we'll-tell-yon-nothing meth-od . A question-and-answer format Is used. Newspaper and magazine readers a re urged I t send in questions concerning prominent personalities. No matter how ptepoaterous or croddy the questions may be , they wiD be published and answered.

A particular question might be personally repugnant to a conscientious journalist, bu t still it must be answered in order to protect the reader ' s constitutional right to know whether Warren Beatty really had unnatural relations with an unidentified passerby while he was getting off a cross-town Manhattan bos, and she was getting on.

The published quest ions are usually signed with only the questioners ' initials and adress . Thus there is no way for titillated readers to learn whatever made R.L. of Boise, Idaho, think Warren Beatty would behave so recklessly. I t ' s a well-known feet that bus doors always d o s e before they ' re supposed to.

Is the bus driver R . L ' s cousin? Perhaps R.L. is herself the unidentified passerby who, visiting from Boise, had never been on a Manhat tan bus before and didn ' t know what is considered w n a t u r a l in New York?

We'll never know, but it doesn' t matter. I t ' s not important what prompted the bus question. The important thing is that it be answered. The conscientious journalist shouldn' t back away from a touchy question. No matter bow much research it requires, it must be established that, no. Warren Beatty didn ' t do t h a t

Seme s W p B t r M ^ s n g g c s h l W H i t really H no I X r e f B o U e . Idaho. They accuse the conscientious journalists of writing the questions they answer, simply to appeal to prurient interests and make money. This hardly seems possible.

According to all evidence I 've seen, there is littie similarity between the questions and answers when the ask-us-aaything-and-we'll-tell-you-nothing method is used to get trash published. The questions are always juicy and the answers are always boring. It doesn' t seem likely that the same person oould write both.

In feet. I know several people who read only the questions, skipping t he answers. " T h e answers rain my good time," one woman explained. She believes Warren Beatty isn ' t afraid of bus doors. She doesn ' t want to read anything different.

- Probably the bes t way to explain the ask-us-anything, etc . . method is to d t e sASfe typical questions and answers. Some of the following sets have been lifted directly from national publications. Some 1 made up myself. Can you teD winch is which?

Q — When Henry Kissinger hits H e w York. I 'm told he makes it a point to aee Fonda Feingold, a 25-year-old singer at the Copacabana. What is the b a a b of her long-term relationship with Kissinger? — N. Y., Long Beach, CaL

A — Fonda Feingold and Henry Kissinger have never m e t Q — Pope John Paul recently landed the "joys of the poor" to a

stadium full of Mexicans. Is it t rue that 10,563 Mexicans immediaiely offered to t rade their shacks for the pope ' s palace and he bade them all to " g o sock o n t Fr i to"? — M.S., El Paao, Tex.

A — That ' s n o t true. Q — Is it not a feet that Robert F . Kennedy J r . , son of L h d and

the late senator, is cavorting a t the University of Virginia Law School with Rebecca Fraaer. daughter of Lady Antonia Eraser? Can it be that these two were secretly married when young Robert was studying at the London School of Economics under an assumed name last year? Is it not a feet that young Kennedy is a leading Sothario? — D. L., Charlottesville. Va.

A - N o . 0 — Is it t rue Warren Beatty had agreed to give the keynote

speedt at the GOP convention in Detroit in 1960 if Mayor Coleman Young wiH bus loose women into the convention area every night, with no doors on the buses? — R. L , Boise. Idaho.

A — Not a s of this writing.

for most outdoor activities ex-cluding hunting.

Fishing has been only fair to good throughout our district

with heavy snow and s lush covered ice somewhat hamper -ing activities. Most inland lakes are producing fair catches of

panf i sh and a few pike on

t ip-ups. Some of the be t te r spots in

Kent County a re Cranberry Lake. Bass Lake, and Bostwick

Lake for panf ish; some steel-head still at the 6th Street Dam

in downtown Grand Rapids and some on the Rogue River below

Rockford, a l though the shelf ice is still heavy along the Rogue.

In Ionia County, fish Jo rdan and Tupper Lakes for panf ish;

Long and Woodard Lakes for pike.

There is still too much snow cover for e i ther rabbit or fos hunt ing. All hunt ing activities

DEVOTIONS by Pauline E. Spray

Plan July Wedding

As one whom his mother coraforteth, so will I comfort you . . . (Isaiah 66:13).

Children are amusing- When they fall and bruise « knee or scratch an arm, how quickly they run to Mother! As soon as she has kissed the injured member, the pain vanishes and the tears stop falling. Then the child skips away to resume his play. What consolation, what medicioal value, what healing is found in a mother 's kissl

There are two kinds of Chris-tians; There is the one who indulges in self pity. He has more burdens to carry and greater afflictions to bear than anyone about him—or so he believes. His sorrows are more numerous and grievous. Every-thing is wrong and everybody mistreats him. Life is difficult and dreary. His pain shows clearly on his face.

Then, there is the other kind of Christian—the one who finds solace in prayer. In his secret closet he seeks and finds com-fort, strength, courage, and sustaining grace. He takes his burdens to the Lord and leaves them there and comes away as happy as a child whose bruise has been healed by "Mother ' s kiss."

Prayer: Dear God, to Thee I come with my burdens and bruises, for I know I can find hea l ing in T h e e . Sus ta in . Strengthen. Comfort me with Thy touch. I leave my hurt with Thee. Amen. 0 , what peace we often forfeit.

0 , what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in pray'r .

For the past twenty years, many children in Kent County have been receiving a valuable art enrichment program, thanks 1

to the Grand Rapids Art Muse^ am and their dedicated volun-teers. The program has been so successful that the GRAM has been swarded s $4,900 grsnt from the Mkhigsn Council for the Arts to expand the program into Ave outlying communities, H a s t i n g s , Spa r t a , C e d a r Springs, Hudsonville, and the Grand Haven area.

Monies from this g ant, along with matching funds from the Museum and the eligible com-munities will be used to develop "Ar t Talk" kits specifically chosen by each community, which will be reserved for their use. although ownership will remain with the GRAM.

There are presently 17 differ-ent talks on topics ranging from African and American Indian Art to Portraits and Animals in Art. The talks are developed f o r specific grade levels and are inustratod by reproductions, slides and In some cases actual

. art i i icts. During the 1977-78 school year, 100 professionally t r a i n e d vo lun t ee r s (doceh t s )

gsve " A r t Tslks" to 35,000 children (grades 1-6) in 53 different schools in the Kent Intermediate School District.

Each volunteer is required to attend training sessions at the GRAM in classroom techniques, art criticism and appreciation, child development theories as they relate to art, and specific trainings on the art topics to be discussed In thr actual "Ar t Talks" .

Volunteers need not be train-ed teachers, artists, or parents for that matter. All that Is required Is that an Individual like children, have an interest in learning more about art, and make a commitment to share their knowledge with elemen-tary school students enthusias-tically.

A new eight hour training session for new County Docents will begin March 1, 1979 at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Anyone Interested In finding out more about the program should contact Sally taBaugh, Educa-tion Director by calling the Grand Rapids Art Museum at 459-4676, or our Lowell repre-sentative, Leah Vredenburg at 897-7791.

BOND IS DlSCONhNUKD Like the nickel candy bar and

other victims of inflation, the $25 US Savings Bond is being discontinued by the Treasury.

Starting next year the cheap-est bonds offered by the Treas-ury will cost $25, redeemable in 12 years for $50. thus paying an annual interest rate of 6 per-cent.

At the conclusion of the first semester marking period at the Elementary School in White

By Rof«r I rown

In this business of newspaperlng and printing, we are constantly using words. A good share of those words are people's names, and nothing seems to ge t a person hot-under-the-cdlar faster than misspelling their name.

With this in mind, it has always baffled m e as to why roost people get a little huffy and sometimes downright indignant when t ask them for the correct spelling of their name. I am sometimes looked a t by a person whom I've aaked to spell their name, with an expression that says, "yoo 'd better go back to school boy" .

I have a hunch that most folks f e d that their way of spelling a name, is the only way to spell it. But. ak Johnny Carson says to Ed McMahon. " a u contrare, moose b rea th" .

Last names are not so terribly bad, even though there are variations to many of them. There are Hovers and Hoovers, Smiths and Smithes, ^niders aad Snyders. Jensens and Jensons, Eariys and Earleys. Burgers and Bergers. snd on, and on, and oo. There are the MacGregors and McGregors, and the Johnstons and Johnsons who must be doubled checked fbr the correct spellings And there are those huge. almost unpronounceable names like Maksyrooski, Spangenberg, Zembernieks and Oostdyk. These people are usually exceptions to the rule of indignancy. Probably because they are uaed to spelling their name fbr people, and often start spelling their name for me before 1 can even ask.

H last names create a problem, first names create a disaster-Men's names aren ' t as bad as women's, but there are still s lot of variations. Take for instance. Stanlee and Stanley, John and Jon, Gary and Garry, Stephan and Steven, Alan and Allen, Duane and Dewayne, Lewis and Louis and so on down the list.

You think that ' s bad? Let 's take a look at a woman's name like;

Cathy, or is it Kathy, or Cathie, or Cathi, or Cathey, or Kathi, or Kathe. Kathie. or Kathee. All of which I 've seen used before, and I 'm sure there are more. s i

How about Shirley. Sheriee. Shirli. Shirty, Shertie, ShWie, Shyrlie, Shyrti and Shertie. I cringed the other day when I saw Shirley spelled Chericy.

Then there are those who have no first name. J . B. Ward wtM| lives near Elmdale and A.L. Walters from Saranac are two that come to mind. Neither has a first name, jus t initials. They both dairo to have a tough time getting any offldaf paperwork accepted with just their initials on i t Though I 'm not particularly food at Roger, I think I would feel cheated to go through life with no first name I t all.

Well, it looks like enough to fill another "Coxy Corner" . This i« your reporter Rodger Browne, signing off.

Beware Gas Leaks

Extremely cold weather since the first of the year is putting the gas distribution system of Consumers Power Company un-der unusual strain because of the substantial depth of frost in the e i r th .

Because of the potential effect of frost upon g s s lines, Consum-ers is asking residents to im-mediately report to the company any odor of gas or any unusual gaaeous smell they might detect in or around their homes. Emergency crews are ready 24 hours a day, 7 daya a week who will respond to such calls.

Reporting the odor of gas or ady unusual gaseous smell is essential since gss may travel under frozen ground before coming to the surface, it 's important tluft everyone report such odors whether or not they have gas service in their own home.

In addition to gas Mains, the cold weather h i s also put an extra burden upon furnaces and increased the likelihood of car-bon monoxide U aks. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of in-complete combustion tha t ' s dif-ficult to detect because it 's invisible, odorless and tasteless.

The symptoms of its presence are smarting of the eyes, dizzi-ness. weakness, nausea, head-aches or unconsciousness.

Furnaces are working at or near maximum capacity in these below-freezing temperatures. Although they are designed to safely vent all products of combustion up the chimney, leaks or other malfunctions in the furnace or venting sys tem. can permit carbon monoxide to And its way into the home and cause serious illness or death. Homeowners who suspect the presence of carbon monoxide in their homes should contact their heating dealer or Consumers Power Co.

The YWCA's Battered Wo-men's Center provides a crises intervention and therapy pro-gram for families disrupted by violence. In an effort to deal with the e j e c t s , the YWCA is expanding services through the Battered Women's Center to work with men. women and children from these families.

New services will include Probation Counseling for Assail-ants, a Nursery Children's Ther-apy Program, a Work Incentive < and Placement Program plus Legal Services to aasist in criminal, divorce and juvenile court processes.

Police officers as well as battered victims are often hesi-tant to deal with complicated legal processes and therefore would find it easier to make initial contact with the Bat tere i Women's Center. At that point. YW staff, oo call 24 hours a day. are prepared to provide counsel-ing. shelter, and support for the victim in taking appropriate action. . -

On February 14 LoweU Rotari-ans heard a discussion of a recent trip to the Peoples Re-

public of China. v

P r o g r a m C h a i r m a n K ing Doyle introduced the speaker. Theo Lennon. long-time grain elevator operator in Sunfield. MI. and a former member of Oie Michigan Commission of Agri-culture.

He stressed that China is so large and varied, with a popula-tion of over 900 rtillion. that we should be cautious as we read about or listen to reports on "typical" conditions in that country. His observations were that the people have a good level of nutrition, are neatly groomed, dress uniformly and treat viaitors with interest and courtesy.

It is a different world econom-ically. with only ten percent of the households owning a radio and practically no television receivers. Private automobiles are not seen and bicycles are the common method of individual travel. Everyone works, al-though his impression is tha\ there is sufficient labor so that people do not have to work too hard.
