Refreshments were served by the second grade room mothers! from Mrs. Arthur Tauba and Mrs. Sybil Avery's rooms. Early in the evening, parents and friends were invited to tour the school building and see the wdrk of the students and concult the teachers.

Coloma Lions Club Supporting Leader Dogs For Blind Coloma Lions are actively sup- porting the Loader Dogs for the / Blind program, arj administered by the parent organization, local president Victor Wler stated this week. Taking note of the Leader Dog service, Wler suggested that local people contact Lion Club mem- bers If such sen-Ices are desired. He said that dogs aie loaned to qualified and eligible blind per- sons. Loader Dog facilities aie offered to blind prospects all over the ' United States and Canada. A num- t e r of blind have been served in Mexico. Brazil, Israel and other countries, according to Wler. A fully trained unit (master and dog), harness, board and room, <lo^ and training, transportation while at school, costs the Leader Dog school approximately S1.250. Of this, the blind person is asked to pay, at his convenience, $150. All Lions Clubs are invited to contribute, on a voluntary basis, i toward the total cost of operation. ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL Mrs. Dan Muth, mother of Mrs. j Henry Kuhlman, was admitted to the Mercy hospital in Benton | Harbor Sunday for treatment and observation. Following the gridiron defeat j at the hands of Watervllet last week thoughts quickly turned to the coming basketball season at Coloma high school. i Practice began In earnest this week in perparation for the open- i -.g of the cage season at Decatur Dec. 3. The home opener takes place Friday, Dec. 6. Whether Coloma can improve on the poor record they had in bas- ketball last year remains to be seen. The locals ended In the lea- gue basement last year and won, only two of 15 games all year. One bright thing for Coloma' fans this season Is the beautiful new gymnasium the cagers have. It is In all readiness for the open- ing home game and Coloma school officials are planning a "homecoming dedication" ceremo- ny Dec. 6. The brief but impressive cere- mony will probably lake place be- tween the reserve and varsity! games. Alumni of the local school will pop their eyes wide open when they see the gym. It has folding bleachers on both sides of the court, two practice courts and the 84-foot main court is adorned with glass backboards. Two new scoreboards decorate the ends of the gym and 32 lights each with 750 watts light the building. Letters will be sent home by all students In junior and senior high grades asking their parents to be present at the Initial con- lost and see the building. Also the school authorities want as many alumni Coloma players present that night. As for the cage hopes this year is concerned Is a question maf-k. Coach S. L. McDaniels has six holdovers from the varsity team last year. They are Cullen Chllds, Garry McDaniels, Aubrey Anjdt David Swanson, William Ott» and Leonard Segal. Swanson And McDaniels are the only players at the six-foot mark. The Coloma coach lost Ronald Clark and William Leedy, the Comets leading scorers last year, through graduation. Others gone from the team are Robert Miller, Jerry Clements and Allen Vander- boegh. Press Day To Be Early Next Week Are you going to be gnawing on that delicious Thanksgiving tur- key next Thursday? The Courier staff would like to much on a little of those Thanks- giving goodies also, and for us to do so we need some help from the readers and advertisers. If advertisers or persons with news items get them to the office on Saturday or Monday at the latest, we can take it easy like most folks with nothing more seri- ous to worry about than getting giblet gravy on our wearing ap- parel. N(»;t week The Courier will .have a Thanksgiving date line out the paper will go to press Tues- day. The subscribes will receive them Wednesday in the usual manner. You'll co-operate won't you? Thanks. Coloma Dystrophy Fighters Watervliet Takes Annual Battle 13-7 Chamber Discusses New Brochures A discussion concerning new brochures for the Paw Paw lakes vacation land was held by mem- bers of the Coloma Chamber of Commerce at a meeting held Tues- day noon at Wil-O-Paw Inn. The members present also men- tioned broadening the advertising campaign in Chicago newspapers next Summer. DAUGTHER BORN Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kuzma be- came the parents of a girl at the Watervllet Community hospital j Tuesday. She weighed seven pounds and 6 , •.. ounces. COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Local citizens admitted to the Watervllet Community hospital the past week have included Mrs. Marie Rahall, Richard Sawyer, John Bunker, Cheryl Cole and Ho- ward J. Bishop. Discharged were Rudolph Berky, Richard Sawyer, un.i Joseph Schcuer. 1 m tMl iwsctl AH : /SiriOi'Hi Co-chairman of the Coloma Town Coun- try club Muscular Dystrophy Drive are Mrs. Walter Reinhardt (left), and Mrs. Kenneth Smith (center), shown with the chairman is Mrs. Jack Willmeng, presid ent of the club. The door-to-door canvass will be conducted by the 28 members of the club. They will march Nov. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. to raise funds to help fight this fatal dis- ease for which there is no known cure. At long last the Panthers of, Watervliet became the conquerors \ of The Coloma Comets. They done j the trick last Wednesday evening in the last 33 seconds of the ball game and went on to defeat the j locals 13 to 7 in a thrilling foot- ! ball contest played at Watervllet. ! While over 1.200 spectators looked on Watervllet's Peter Kobe; pulled In a pass in a play that i covered over 30 yards to score for , the Panthers with the game near-j ly over. The contest was a typical (' o 1 o m a-Watervllet football contest nnd a steady down- j pour of rain failed to stop the enlhusias n of the crowd at- t ending. Watervliet almost scored the first time they got possession of 1 the hall but was held back by a fumble. After receiving the open- ing kickoff they marched to the Coloma goal line only to have Coloma recover a fumble in the Lndzor.e. The Comets then took over on 'he 20-yard line and proceeded on their only touchdown march of the night. Terry Ridge made the drive successful when he crashed over the goal early in the second quar- { tor. Loon Ryan made the extra point and Coloma was in the lead 7 to 0. Scored Near Half The Panthers didn't score until the second period was nearly over, j Kobe was responsible for this | touchdown also by going around left end to cap the drive with 35 seconds remaining in the half. Their conversion attempt failed and it almost cost them the ball ! game. The locals were in continuous danger in the final 24 minutes of play but had an excellent chance of Icing the game In the fourth quarter but they couldn't hold on to the ball. After a Watervllet punt endel up on Coloma's tfaree- yard line as the third quarter came to a close the locals then gambled successfully twice on fourth down and al- most had enough stearn to take the contest. The gambles paid off deep In Coloma territory and Terry Ridge went around his own left end winding up Watervllet territory Coloma then fumbled the ball in the play that could very well have been the turning point of the game. For this play took the sparkling play out of the Coloma squad. Watervliet returned the favor shortly afterward and fumbled to give Coloma control near mid- field. On fourth down the Cometa gambled for a first down again and this time it failed by about a foot. A? the seconds of the last two minutes kept ticking away the Panthers held on to their hopes for victory and they were reward- ed by Kobe's fine catch. FAMILY NIGHT SUPPER The November family night supper of the First Congregation- al church will be held at 6:30 p.m. tonight. Program chairman, Mrs. William Bessemer, stated it will be fun night. Mr. and Mrs. Nor- man C. Erickson are dinner chair- men.

Coloma Lions Club

Supporting Leader

Dogs For Blind Coloma Lions a re actively sup-

port ing the Loader Dogs for the / Blind program, arj administered by the parent organization, local president Victor Wler s ta ted this week.

Taking note of the Leader Dog service, Wler suggested tha t local people contact Lion Club mem-bers If such sen-Ices are desired. He said tha t dogs a ie loaned to qualified and eligible blind per-sons.

Loader Dog facilities a ie offered to blind prospects all over the ' United Sta tes and Canada. A num-t e r of blind have been served in Mexico. Brazil, Israel and other countries, according to Wler.

A fully t rained unit (mas te r and dog), harness, board and room, <lo^ and training, t ranspor ta t ion while at school, costs the Leader Dog school approximately S1.250. Of this, the blind person is asked to pay, at his convenience, $150.

All Lions Clubs are invited to contribute, on a voluntary basis, i toward the total cost of operation.

ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL

Mrs. Dan Muth, mother of Mrs. j Henry Kuhlman, was admit ted to the Mercy hospital in Benton |

Harbor Sunday for t r ea tmen t and observation.

Following the gridiron defea t j at the hands of Watervllet last week thoughts quickly turned to the coming basketball season a t Coloma high school. i

Practice began In earnest this week in perpara t ion for the open-i -.g of the cage season at Decatur Dec. 3. The home opener t akes place Friday, Dec. 6.

Whether Coloma can improve on the poor record they had in bas-ketball last year remains to be seen. The locals ended In the lea-gue basement last year and won , only two of 15 games all year .

O n e bright thing for Coloma' fans this season Is the beaut i ful new gymnasium the cagers have. It is In all readiness for the open-ing home game and Coloma school officials are planning a "homecoming dedication" ceremo-ny Dec. 6.

The brief but impressive cere-mony will probably lake place be-tween the reserve and vars i ty ! games.

Alumni of the local school will pop their eyes wide open when they see the gym. I t has folding bleachers on b o t h sides of the court, two practice cour ts and the 84-foot main court is adorned with glass backboards.

Two new scoreboards decorate the ends of the gym and 32 l ights e a c h with 750 wat t s light the building.

Let te rs will be sent home by all s tudents In junior and senior high grades asking their pa ren t s to be present a t the Initial con-lost and see the building. Also the school authori t ies want as many alumni Coloma players present that night.

As for the cage hopes this yea r is concerned Is a question maf-k. Coach S. L. McDaniels has six holdovers from the varsi ty t eam last year. They are Cullen Chllds, Garry McDaniels, Aubrey A n j d t David Swanson, William O t t » and Leonard Segal.

Swanson And McDaniels a re the only players at the six-foot mark .

The Coloma coach lost Ronald Clark and William Leedy, the Comets leading scorers last year, through graduat ion. Others gone f rom the team are Robert Miller, J e r ry Clements and Allen Vander-boegh.

T h e door-to-door canvass will be conduc ted by the 28 members of t he club. They will m a r c h Nov. 25 f rom 7 to 9 p .m. to raise f u n d s to help fight this f a t a l dis-ease for which the re is no known cure .

At long last the Pan the r s o f , Watervl iet became the conquerors \ of The Coloma Comets. They done j the trick last Wednesday evening in the last 33 seconds of the ball game and went on to defea t the j locals 13 to 7 in a thrilling foot- ! ball contest played a t Watervl le t . !

While over 1.200 specta tors looked on Watervl le t ' s Pe te r Kobe; pulled In a pass in a play t h a t i covered over 30 yards to score for , the Pan the r s with the game n e a r - j ly over.

The contest was a typical ( ' o 1 o m a-Watervllet football contest nnd a steady down- j pour of rain failed to s top the enlhusias n of the crowd a t -t ending.

Watervl iet almost scored the first t ime they got possession of 1 the hall but was held back by a fumble. Af t e r receiving the open-ing kickoff they marched to the Coloma goal line only to have Coloma recover a fumble in the Lndzor.e.

The Comets then took over on 'he 20-yard line and proceeded on their only touchdown march of the night. Ter ry Ridge made the drive successful when he crashed over the goal ear ly in the second quar- { tor. Loon Ryan made the ex t r a point and Coloma was in the lead 7 to 0.

Scored Near Half The P a n t h e r s didn't score until

the second period was nearly over, j Kobe w a s responsible for this | touchdown also by going around left end to cap the drive with 35 seconds remaining in the half . Their conversion a t t empt failed and it a lmost cost them the ball

! game. The locals were in continuous

danger in the final 24 minutes of play but had an excellent chance of Icing the g a m e In the fou r th quar te r but they couldn't hold on to the ball.

Af t e r a Watervl let pun t endel up on Coloma's tfaree-yard line as the third quar te r came to a close the locals t h e n gambled successfully twice on four th down and a l -most had enough stearn t o t ake the contest .

The gambles paid off deep In Coloma terr i tory and Ter ry Ridge went around his own lef t end winding up Watervl le t t e r r i to ry Coloma then fumbled the ball in the play t h a t could very well have been the tu rn ing point of the game. For this play took the sparkl ing play out of the Coloma squad.

Watervliet re turned the f avor short ly a f t e rward and fumbled to give Coloma control near mid-field.

On fourth down the Cometa gambled for a first down aga in and this time it failed by about a foot.

A? the seconds of the last two minutes kept t icking away the Pan the r s held on to their hopes for victory and they were reward-ed by Kobe's fine catch.

COLOMA'S NEW AMERICAN FLAGS

Unobserved by many Colomans on Veterans ' Day last week were the new American Hags purchased by the city commission recently.

The flags numbering over 30 in all made the i r lirst ap-pearance in the city that day and the American Legion took the responsibility to put up the flags.

We wondered on that day a f t e r seeing the flags why they weren' t placed in holders so they could hang out over the sidewalks f rom the utility poles as originally planned j last June when members of the legion brought up the mat- j ter with t he city commission.

Bill Bale, a member of the legion who took care of the Hags, later told us that the other type of Hag costs consid-erably more.

At any rate the flags we have are a big improvement! over the old ones and the community will look approp- j riate when a holiday comes around tha t requires the dis- j play of the national colors.

I t is Ordered. T h a t notice there-

Think of Thanksgiving and you think of turkey. Think of turkey and you're ap t to think of t ha t per-ennial custom of wishing on the wish-bone. Much of Thanksgiving hasn ' t changed. But, thanks to trucks, the kind and charac te r of the various foods tha i make up the typical Thanksgiving dinner have changed—and for the better , of course. Turkey is still the main dish—but it's tast ier and more tender today. Vegetables are fresh or f resh f rozen—hence much more flavorous. There ' s a crisp tossed salad and fresh f ru i t "out of season." And for desser t—the choice is wide and the quality high. All this has been made possible largely by the faci-lities of modern t ruck t ranspor t . Trucks br ing you everything you eat, wear or use—and they'l l help make the "ea t in 'es t" day in the yea r a happ ie r one for most Michiganders. Jus t sit back and make a wish—and t rucks will make it t rue.

WHAT GIFTS BRING pleasure every day of the year, make life easier, and are not likely to be dupli-cated? Additional tele-phones in color, of course, a welcome solution to the "what to give" problem. Bedroom phones are won-derful for Mother. Dad

would get a real kick out of a telephone for his den or basement workshop. And teen-agers think a phone in their own room is tops. Christmas will be here befora you know it—a perfect time for giving gift telephones.

THE DISTANT EARLY WARNING L I N E - a chain of radar stations stretching 3,000 miles across the Arct ic-is now in operation and will give 4 to 6 hours warning if enemy planes approach from the north. The Air Force asked the Bell System to design the DEW line. Among the thousands of men who worked for many ; months in the cold and desolate Arctic to complete the job on schedule were 4,478 telephone men—many from Michigan. The Hell System skills that produced the DKW line are the same ones that help make your tele-

phone service better and more useful to you every day.

! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

WE RAN ACROSS these figures recently, and we thought you might be in-terested in seeing how the telephone industry is con-tributing to Michigan's prosperity. Last year thc Bell System's manufactur-ing and s u p p l y u n i t , Western Electric Co., paid

^19,325,784 for supplies and materials bought from 1,223 firms in some 146 towns and cities in Michigan. That's quite a lot of business coming into the state, creating job opportunities and helping to keep the factories humming. Since we're all Michiganders ourselves, we're mighty glad to see this.

iSltate university predict an end to oui three-year business boom and say tha t the decline has a l ready begun.

Dr. John H. Hoagland, associ-ate professor of management a t | M. S. U., in an article wri t ten for thc current issue of "Business Topics" in terprets some economic indicators to mean that "business conditions are not good."

' T h e early s tages of a busniess recession have already occurred,' Dr. Hoagland writes, "and the ex-tent to which these will continue i to materialize depends consider-ably on wha t actions are taken in the weeks and months a h e a d ! by government, management la-bor and the consuming publ.c."

The au thor notes a considerable decline in business activity in-dices 'even with rising automobile production in Octobor." Machine j tool orders, widely regarded as a ' business barometer, have dropped drastically In recent months, he added, and construction activity, i a s t rong point in the 19jt} and 1957 economy, i.-' parsing i ts peak, j

Pointing to a drop in manu- j facturers ' unfilled orders of $7.3 i billion in a year, accompanied by inventory increase of $3 billion, | Dr. Hoagland finds " the business !

economy Is in a more vulnerable ! position than it would have been i if inventories had been success-! fully reduced."

He finds also that consumer spending, a 1957 strong point, shows signs of slipping.

L O O K AT IT BOTH W A Y S . Dogs are smart,

and loyal. Dogs often frighten of! burglars, rouse

householders when prowlers appear; have even

held burglars at bay until they could be captured.

On the other hand, some burglars are pretty smart,

too. Burglars have locked dogs in garages, con-

fused them with friendly greetings, drugged them.

It's thrusting a lot of responsibility on even the

best dog to make him guardian of one's most val-

ued possessions; especially when it's so easy to give

valuables the protection a safe deposit box affords.
