Voters in the August 6 p r i -m a r y election will f ace a b i l lo t with 61 n a m e s of candidates fo r posi t ions on the reapport ioned Kent County Board of Supervis-o r s ,

Among them a r e Norman F r e e -man of F r u i t Ridge Avenue In Tyrone Township, cha i rman of the p re sen t Kent County Board of supe rv i so r s , who i s seeking the Republican candidacy In Dis -t r i c t 1. Also George Schweitzer of Baumhoff Ave., p r e s e n t c l e rk of Alpine Township, who Is r u n -ning on the Democra t ic t icket f o r the Dis t r ic t 2 sea t .

Redls t r lc t lng of the county r e -duces the number of r e p r e s e n t -a t ives on the county-governing body f r o m 77 to 21. It all began four y e a r s ago when the U.S. Supreme Cour t s t a r t ed the one-man one-vote con t rove r sy by in -te rpre t ing the Constitution to mean that supe rv i so r d i s t r i c t s be " s u b s t a n t i a l l y " equal In popul-ation. Since that t ime a s e r i e s of decis ions at the federa l , s ta te , and local leve ls have cu lmina t -ed In the one -man one-vote edic t at the county level .

A bill in the Michigan L e g i s -la ture , House Bi l l 2774, enacted in 1966, sa id that by May 16, 1967, the county apport ionment commiss ion In each county of the s ta te would divide the county into d i s t r i c t s a s n e a r l y of equal population as p r ac t i cab l e .

Thus, the tedious task of r e -apportioning the county began. As specif ied in the Michigan House Bill , the county appor t ion-ment c o m m i s s i o n was r e s p o n s -ible for dividing up the county. M e m b e r s of th i s commiss ion In-clude Hi l l a ry Snell, .Republican

Tho la tes t off ic ia l published f i g u r e s of c e n s u s were to be used In reappor t ioning the county on the n e c e s s a r y equal population b a s i s . The commiss ion thereby c a m e up with 21 d i s t r i c t s in Kent County each with an Ideal popul-ation of 17,295.

Fellowship h a s not been dec l a r ed off ic ia l ly between any of the o the r m e m -b e r churches , although the ALC i s expected to approve fel lowship with all th is y e a r .

The LCA h a s dec la red i tself r e a d y fo r such fellowship with a l l of the o the r council m e m -b e r s on the b a s i s of the i r c o m -mon a f f i rma t ion of the h i s to r i c Chr i s t i an c r e e d s a n d the Luth-
