ALTHOUGH MICHIGAN Motorists will travel only half as many miles this Thanksgiving weekend as over a summer holiday season, this could be the most dangerous holiday on state roads this year, predicts the Automobile G u b of Michigan. Wherever you go this year, take care, since statistics show that three erf every four fatal accidents last Thanksgiving occurred within 25 miles of home . . .

DURING THE MONTH of October, officers of the Lowell Police Department investigated a total of 25. accidents within the city limits. Five mishaps involved personal injuries and six were on private property, making it the worst month for accidents yet this year . . .

THREE JUVENILES HAVE been arrested by Lowell Police Officers in connections with bicycle thefts around the city this summer. Apprehended last Wednesday, the youths also admitted to some brealdngs and enterings . . .

ONLY A FEW minor accidents were reported around1 the city last week, a s the motorists encountered their first taste of winter. While the snow fall was light. It brought a booming business to service stations and garages, and people were anxious to ge t their snow tires on and their vehicles winterized. Needless to say. there 's more yet to come.

does not mind that Harvey is a six-foot-tall rabbit and that oth-er people usually fail to see him. But Veta, Elwood's widowed sister, does mind. A woman of social obligations, determined to marry off her daughter Myr-tle Mae, she cannot tolerate an oversized bunny among her respectable guests.

Elwood will have to be com-mitted to a sanitarium for wacky alcoholics. So she takes him to Chumley's Rest. Unfortunately, once Veta starts talking of Harvey, she gets locked up herself. In the end Elwood is permitted to keep his rabbit companion, who manages to appear to Dr. Chumley himself —at Charlie's Place, naturally. Elwood is an affable, ingratia-ting fellow who lives up to the author 's counsel that we should not take ourselves too seriously. Veta, actually very funny in her confusion, is closer in spirit to her brother than she would admit. The supporting cast—an elderly socialite lady, a judge, and the staff of Chumley's

Motorists who stall this time of year causing increasing con-cern for Chief of Police Barry D,

Emmons and Lowell city, offici-als responsible for keeping traf-fic moving during severe winter weather.

Stalled vehicles choke off vital community services and Chief Emmons contends that future winter tie-ups can be avoided by a little advance preparation now.

"Motorists who drive cars that stall in today's weather are sure to stall later when snow and colder temperatures set in. That means that drivers who 'stall off needed vehicle main-tenance now are apt to wind up waiting in line at a service station on the first bad winter day—assuming they're lucky enough to get that f a r ! "

Getting a car ready for win-ter ' s worst isn't difficult, ac-cording to the Chief. Basic suggestions and tips endorsed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, have been recommended by the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards. i

-Get a complete tune-ay for your car. This is important, not just to get going on cold mornings. ;but to prevent erratic engine behavior that could cause s k i v i n g , o ^ slick

roads. In addition to timing and

plugs, have the mechanic check your battery, the entire electri-cal and heater-defroster sys-tems. Anti-freeze and wind-shield iwasher fluid must offer adequate protection for the coldest temperatures you'll en-counter.

Have brakes checked. Un-equal braking on slippery sur-faces is almost sure to cause dangerous skidding.

Have exhaust system check-ed . Even a small leak can result iu deadly carbon monoxide build up in the driver's com-partment.

Replace worn windsh ie ld wiper blades. Wipers crack and go dSad during summer heal. If wipers streak in rain, the prob-lem will be magnified when .they must move snow or sleet from a cold windshield.

starting, going and stopping under severe winter conditions.

Carry Emergency Equipment In your trunk. Safety gear should include: booster cables; reinforced tire chains in good repair: sand, rock salt and a traction mat: a shovel; safety flares or reflectors: a tow chain, cable or strap: extra windshield washer solvent: a window scrap-er and paper towels: heavy gloves and extra winter cloth-ing.

Do these suggestions work? " W e ' r e winterizing our depart-ment ' s vehicles using these same guidelines right now," Chief Emmons concluded.

"You won't sec many stalled policc veh ic les -no t if there 's anything we can do NOW to avoid the problem!"

The l ibrary Committee was In charge of the November 7 Chapter Night meeting of the Lowell Women of the Moose, dhapter 1388, with Shirley Peckham acting as pro-tem chairman for Mrs. Dorothy Lac-ic.

She reviewed the new chil-dren 's booklet written by a fotmer Lowell resident and teacher. Rosalie Maxon Shanks. Copies of the book are available at the Lowell and Alto libraries, ""tyrs. Betty Miller. Senior Rcgewt, thanked all of the weykers in the Chapter on

5' a l f of the Loyal Order of Moose for their help with

turkey dinner, served to the public, on November 6.

t h e Chapter will meet next on Monday evening. November 21,

for their monthly business meet-ing. All member* are urged to

be in attendance. PAINT FRUTT TREES

To keep the bark on young fruit trees from splitting during the winter, paint the trunki with

white latex paint. Michigan State University

horticulturists explain that the paint keeps the sunny side of the tree from heating up and expanding. The shady, cold side of the tree doesn't expand, and the bark tends to split under the

stress. A good way (o apply the paint

is with, an old glove. Dip yoar gloved hand in the paint and run it up and down and around the trunk for an even coat. The paint will reflect sunlight and keep the tree trunk from overheating.

are anticipating another banner y e a r . . . perhaps even a record breaking year. With over a million deer in the woods (many of them big racked bucks) it 's not hard to see why the state 's whitetail hunters haven't been able to think about much else lately.

But, as pre-occupied with the new season as hunters are, there is one very important consideration that cannot be overlooked—SAFETY! Safety and hunting should always go hand In hand, especially safety and deer hunting.

Every year, one reads in the newspapers or hears on radio and TV reports of serious acci-dents which occur during hunt-ing seasons. Most of these tragedies are caused by care-lessness. Take for instance some of the following examples of careless (stupid?) hunting mistakes from a few years back:

—There was a man who shot both feet while trying to kill a spooked rabbit that ran up his pant leg.

—Someone else, while bend-ing over to search for a knife he thought he lost, stabbed himself because he forgot he put the knife in the pocket of his hunting suit.

—A man with red-colored hair and beard was killed after another hunter spotted him in a tree and mistook him for a squirrel.

—Another hunter laid his shotgun on the ground beside hiih, only to have his dog step on the trigger and in effect shoot him.

One of the new twists to hunting in Michigan this year, which j is designed to reduce some of these accidental shoot-ings, is the "Hunter Orange" iaw. The new rule requires hunters to wear either a vest, jacket or cap of a highly visible color commonly referred to as "Hunter Orange . "

"The wide use of hunter orange," says James R. Walk-er. DNR safety specialist, "con-tributed to the low rate of hunting accidents we had last year . "

Although not required by law last year, many hunters took advantage of the highly visible clothing which was in good supply a year ago.

There were 5 fatalities during the 1976^77 hunting season, and 1.4 during the; 19175-76 season.

Walker says hunter orange has reduced accidental shoot-ings ill other s tates where it has been' tequired.

"Many states report an ex-treme reduction in accidental shootings." he says. "Massa-chusefts reduced accidents by 88 per cen t . "

Walker, however, emphasizes that hunter orange will not eliminate accidents caused by careless handling of firearms.

"In the end. it is up to the individual to make sure he

handles his firearm safely," Walker says.

And it 's in this vein that the DNR urges hunters to follow the " t en commandments" of gun safety when out in the woods this season, (1) Treat every gun as if it is loaded, even if he thinks it is not. (2) Unload his gun before taking it into home, camp or car. (3) Check now and then to make sure his gun 's

barrel and action are clear of obstructions such as mud, snow and ke . (4) Always carry his gun

so he can control the direction of its muzzle, should he trip, fall or bump his arm. (5) Be sure of his target before even touching the trigger. (6) Never point his gun at anything he does not intend to fire at. (7) Check and recheck to make sure his gun is unload-ed before he stores it—whether for an hour or a year. (8) Never climb trees, fences or get into a boat carrying a loaded gun. (9) Never shoot at a flat, hard surface, or at the surface of water. (10) Never " m i x " alcohol and firearms.

ROTARY—I

1 mm Rotary Vice-President Don

Rochelcau presided at the No-vember 9 meeting of the Lowell Club.

Stan Gardner reported on Rotary's participation in the United Way.

"The St. Jude ' s Children's Research Hospital" was : the topic presented by Joe Nicola. St. Jude ' s Hoapital, of Mem-phis. Tennessee, is basically an out-patient hospital, that offers its services free to any children with a rare or catastrophic disease. Local doctors must refer children to the hospital for treatment. •

Bob TlTole, •Community Relations Manager, Grand Rapids, reminds v o u

There are things you can do to control the cost of your phone bill. We are constantly searching for ways to help you economize on your phone service, but here are just a few ideas on how you can help yourself:

Call when it's least expensive. For example, when you're calling long distance, dial direct and plan your calls for times when the rates are lowest.

Budget Service that's feally low budget! Look into the availability of Budget Service H you don't make a lot of phone calls every month. It's the least expensive one-or-two party phone service we offer.

Plan to have all vour service installed in one visit For instance, if you move, plan careTully so the installer doesn't have to make extra trips, for which vou may nave to pay additional charges. And while you're planning for new service, make sure it's going to be thekinai most suited to your needs.

Sometimes, little tips can save you a surprising ing to amount over the long haul. We'll keep trying

help you save.

By Roger B r o w n

I 'm writ ing this column on Tuesday , November 15, 1977 and

bes ides being the opening day of the Michigan firearm dee r hunt ing season, it is t he second anniversary of our purchas ing the Ledger . I find it absolutely impossible to believe that this pas t two years has

gone by so quickly, and with this anniversary in mind, I would like to take this opportuni ty to do a little reminiscing of some of the

th ings that have h a p p e n e d to u s especially dur ing those first few months of ownersh ip .

The day I s igned the p a p e r s to purchase the Ledger f rom the late

Harold Je f fe r ies , I was h o m e sick with the flu. I was working for my fa ther at the t ime and this par t icular day was " p r e s s d a y " for his

publication and to miss p r e s s 4ay because of i l lness, you had bet ter be more tlian jus t sick or hung-over . I had been to work and realized that I jus t couldn ' t make it so I went home thinking I was going to

die and af ra id I wouldn ' t . T h a t af ternoon, Harold and my fa ther came to the house with the pape r s for m e to s ign, the bed rest hadn ' t done m e any good and I niet t h e m at t he door in my p a j a m a s

and wrapped in a quilt. I c a n ' t help but wonder what mus t have been going th rough Haro ld ' s mind that day a s he wa tched what

mus t have been a t rue p ic ture of dea th-warmed-over , a s sume ownership o t his newspape r .

With our very first issue, w e changed the n a m e of the pape r , its format , began se t t ing all of t he type in my f a t h e r ' s plant in Saranac. and changed over f rom be ing pr inted on Tuesday night in

Greenville to be ing pr inted Wednesday a f te rnoon in Has t ings . W h e n all these changes were made , I 'm sure thkt the long-tlm*

> Ledger employees who stuck with us and are still with u s . m u s t have thought that w e were absolutely crazy and now two years la ter I 'm

sure they were right. But we got through those first few mon ths of end less tr ips t o Saranac and Has t ings - to a point w h e r e we felt

Proper harvesting of these t re^s would entail cutting only the larger mature trees, leaving the small-er trees more sunlight and room to grow.

The fruit of the walnut is as tasty as it is inaccessible. The nut is protected by a thick, soft green husk. Beneath the husk is a very thick and hard black shell

between the nut and tne outside | world. | # e n $(jblrTels,fin<tjthaii) mother nature has overdone the packaging job and must earn their Jfpod by gnawing through the shell.

The ^reen husk will :yield * brown substance ' that will ad-heie to your hands and clothing. This dye has been used by Indians and white man alike for centuries. The Indians also used the green husks to poison fish in small pools in a stream. The toxic substance.would pass from the husks to the water and stun the fish which could be gathered and eaten —Steve Hairlngtmi.

Traffic Will Flow Both Ways, If There's No Delays

North and southbound traffic will flow on the East Beltline between M-21 and Int. % by Dec. 1 if there arc no delays, reports Robert Becker, project engineer for the Grand Rapids district office of the Michigan Department of Highways and Transportation.

This section is part of the SI,853,285 highway rebuilding and widening project that in-cludes M-21 between the East Beltline and Int. 96.

There has been some delay on these two parts of the project due to rains last summer and earlier in the fall. Becl^r says.

$Lowell Moose Clu. ^ 210 E. M a i n S t „ L o w e l l

The East Beltline section was to have been fully completed early this month, but only the traffic lanes are almost finished that will permit the flow of traffic. Rest of the work will be complet-ed next spring.

The M-21 section of the project is slated to be finished next June, but completion of two lanes in October allows the flow of east and westbound traffic between the East Beltlin^ and Ada.

Major phases of the L-shaped highway project include four-lane, divided roads, turn lanes, relocation of the cast clid. of Michigan Street at the East Belfline for safety, and a five-lane-wide bridge over the Grand Trunk Western Railroad tracks at the Int. % interchange.

The Michigan Street reloca-tion eliminates a blind spot for eastbound drivers wanting to turn north onto the Beltline.

Grand Rapids is paying S4I5.-000 as its share of the cost because part of the East Beltline improvement is in Grand Rap-ids. The money is coming from one of its -federal funds. The MDHT is paying for the remain-der.—Dave Barnes.

Improvements for the cross-country skiing and hiking trails from Seidman Park to Townsend Park to the State Game Area and back to Seidman Park will be completed this wekend, sa^s Miss Nancy Zimmerman, ad-ministrative aide to H i o m a s Townsend of the Kent County Park Department.

A park crew and members of the Sierra Club have be^n clearing away brush, chopping down weeds, putting up signs and markers along the trails. A map protected by plexiglas has been placed at Seidman Park, Honeycreek Avenue and Two-Mile Road NE,

The workers also have built comfort stations at Seidman Park, improved the park 's off-road parking area and consftuct-ed a bridge over a large swampy area. Mis.s Zimmerman adds.

The trails were opened last January, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Seidman Park. The project originally was spear-headed by Mrs. Patsy Allen of the Sierra Club. Other groups which aided in laying out the trails a year ago included Michi-g a n Tra i l f i nde r s . - Foun ta in Street Church Ski QltfV.; De-partment of Natural Resources, Explorer Scouts and a CETA crew. CETA stands for Compre-hensive Education and Training Act. a federally funded act for the unemployed.

Food Markotlng Bill C o n s u m e r s may s p e n d

around $180 billion in 1977 for U.S. farm goods—4 to 5 percent • more than last year, according to Andrew Weiser of the USDA Economic Research Serv ice , Most of the added expenditures will be due to higher retail prices in contrast to 1976 when a larger volume of food purchased amounted for much of the m e , he said. , # (

The marke t ing b i l l—tha t share of the consumers' food dollar going for transportation, processing and d i s t r i b u t i o n -will be up about 6 to 7 percent-from I976's SI 16 billion. This is in contrast to the steep rises of. more than 10 percent in 1974 and 9 percent in 1976. Neverthe-less. increased marketing costs will again account for most of the rise in consumer food expen-ditures. Weiser said.

Labor costs are the largest component of the farm food marketing bill, accounting for just under 47 percent of the total in 1976, slightly higher than in 1975. Labor costs totaled S54.3 billion in 1976, up about a tenth from the previous year.

The farm value of U.S. pro-duced foods this year apparently will hold near the S56 billion 6f 1976. The farm value of animal products in 1976 was more than double }^e farm vafue of . crop foods . Among c o m m o d i t i e s , farm values were jargest for beef which alone exceeded ' the farm value of all crop foods combined.

I've said 'before that as a hunter. I make a much better camp cook. But I still appreciate a good venison roast as much as the next person. i s ' '

I've been somewhat lucky to have a few hunter fr iehds who haye small,fre^aers. and I love it when their trophies are too big for the locker. Understandably, they usually try to get rid of roasts and hamburger first, saving the steaks for them-

selves. If you get a roast, try beer-

baked venison, but don't invite the hunter who gave you the roast. You mpy never get anoth-er one, ( . ' 11 •

Place a three to four-pound roast in a Dutch oven, salt and pepper well. Then slice one large onion into the pot and. add on cldve of garlic, cut in half. Pouc a 12-ounce canof beer over everything.!

Pake covered,for about four hours or until tender in a 325 degree oven.. The wait is worth it.

I t 's great! with noodles or niashed potatoes', but make sure you skim the fat from the cooking liquid if you plan to make gravy. !

Should you go hunting this year, the Michigan Department of Agriculture would like to remind you that much of our s tate 's hunting land is owned by farmers.

If you want to hunt on private property, be sure to get written permission fhom the landowner. Under Michigan's new Recrea-tional Trespass act, it 's the law. Besides, when you approach the farmer for permission, he might even tell you the location of some choice areas to hunt.

DISASTER PAYMENTS FOR LOSS OF WHEAT

Over 8,000 farmers have filed for 1977 disaster payments for loss of wheat and feed grains, due mostly to drought in the fall of 1976 and the early part of 1977, according to Vernon L. Kretzschmer, Chairman of the Michigan State Agricultural Sta-bi l iza t ion and Conse rva t ion Committee,

Kretzschmer points out that the most severe tosses were in the central part of the lower peninsula. He fur ther states that corn harvest is not complete and if any producer finds that his production is less than 60 percent of his established yield, he should contact his local county ASCS office for complete details.
