Battlstella, who recently bought a home in Lowell, and with Mrs. Battlstella, resides here, has received a patent on the formula for producing a highly flavored "olive essence" from crushed olive pita, by extraction with a mixed solvent, consisting principally of methylene chloride. After thelolvent has been dlstl'.l- «d off, says Battlstella. the olive essence can be used for converting lass highly esteemed food oils Into acceptable substitutes for olive oil. Both Mr. and Mra.

Funds from these campaigns cover ^ num- ber of organizations, all concentrat Ing upon helping others. It Is the central heart from which compassion, life, light hope and courage Is sent through the limbs that the sick, aged, handicapped, may be strengthened. It helps to build character among youth by directing their actlviti for better living through recre- ational facilities. The Community Chest provides for the health and welfare of the city or town which gives it life. We have the responsibility of giving our financial aid that It may carry on. * * * Jokes, jests.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCT. 13. 1949 NUMBER 24 P-T Association Would Improve Community Life "Home and Family Living" has been announced as the program theme for the PTA for the coming year. This theme closely ties In with the objects of the National PTA or- ganization that seeks "to raise the standards of home life" and "to bring Into closer relation the home and the school, that parenta and teachers may cooperate Intelligent- ly In the training of the child." The local PTA la one of 80,000 such associations throughout the country having a total' membership of over 5 million parsons. Member- ship here last year was 281, and a drive for additional members through a housf to house canvaa that started this week will seek to bring the total up to 860. Each local'unit Is a self-govern- ing group that plans Its programs and activities to meet the needs of children and youth In the commun- ity. PTA In Lowell was started three years ago and during this time many outstanding speakers have been brought here from the fields of general education, con- servation, mental health and child health. It haa also contributed to the school building fund and furnished a room at the school for the care of children taken sick during school hours. It has given support and helped to promote a pre-school health clinic and visits here by TB x-ray mobile units. Through Its meeting* It has brought the school administration, teachers and parents Into closer contact with the result that there Is better understanding of problems In the education of children and of the financial difficulties involved in providing adequate physical and curriculum facilities. The growth and contributions of the local organization In three years Is considered remarkable and has merited commendation from the district organization. Further growth and service to the commun- ity would be accelerated by la- creased membership. Assuros Sofc Hunting Hunters who would like to live and take to the fields In future hunting seasons are reminded that 28 persons died and another 147 were Injured In the 1948 season as the result of careleasness with fire- arms. The conservation department sug- gests that new hunters especially, entering the fields for the first time this fall, heed the following basic rules of hunting safety: Handle every gun with the re- spect due a loaded gun. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into an automobile, camp, or home. Make sure the barrel and action of the gun are clear of obstruction. Carry gun so direction of muzzle can be controlled even if you stumble. Make sure of your target before pulling the trigger. Do not point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. Never leave a gun unattended un- less it has been unloaded. Do not climb tretea or fences with a loaded gun. Never fire at a flat, hard surface, or the surface of water. Remember that GUN POWDER and ALCOHOL do not mix. BOWLING Mn.

Fires in Hie Home Take Terrible Toll With the Noronlc tragedy still fresh In the memory of Michigan people, a statement which the Michigan Department of Health made today should be special food for thought during National Fire Prevention Week, October 9 to 18. "You are 28 times as apt to die from fire In your own home as fire In all other places combined," the Department said. "A total of 289 Michigan people died from burns, fire or explosions In Michigan last year, 278 of them In their own homes." "First cause of fatal dwelling fires Is the misuse of petroleum products, such as kerosene or gaa- ollne, for kindling. Overheated or faulty cooking or heating equip- ment, overloa^led circuits or poor wiring, forgotten electric Irons, carelessly put out cigarettes, smok- ing In bed, rusted out stovepipes, cleaning fluid, kindling .wood near the aah can, cardboard or wooden contalnera for aahes, and matches MR.

He came here from near Belding some time ago and made his home In his trailer house at Recreation Park. He had been In 111 health for the past several months and only recently returned from a hospital where he had received treatment. A neighbor, Clare Brown, who lives across the street saw Mr. Clemens come from his trailer Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock and fall Just outside. He at once went over to help him and called Deputy Sheriff Frank Stephens, who found him dead when he ar- rived. Coroner Paul Bloxsom at- tributed his death to a heart at- tack. Surviving are three sisters, Mrs. Laura Groener and Mrs. Arthur James of Belding and Mrs. Alfred Carnahan of Arcadia, Fla. left where children can reach them, are other Important causes. Consider these Items a check list for Fire Prevention Week, the De- partment suggested. Then consider another thing: Nearly half of the people who died from fires In Michigan homes last year were children under 14 years of age.

Among his varied crops this year, Mr. Dlcken had 80 acres wheat 62 acres corn, 40 acres Mammoth Clover, 40 acres other hay, and he has 70 acres of wheat sowed for next year's harvest.

To visualize what the yield means, let us Imagine that Indiana, Iliinois and Ohio were one enor- moua cornfield. It would cover 888 miles east to west, 388 miles north to south. This would be the acre- age of corn grown this year. A fast train, going west, through this cornfield, would enter it at sun- down and not leave It until sunrise. Now, if you could bring all of the corn to a single loading A stubborn bunch of Lee High Rebels came to Recreation Park shelled Friday night and gave the Red platform, it would require 1,934,246 Arrows and their fans several un- boxcars to hold It.

MochieW ond Honson Expkria Workings off Owner Sompler System We have been talking all summer about the Kent County Extension Service checking upon the effici- ency of the farm business. One of the steps In tha checkup Is to cull out the boarders. Get rid of the cull hens and low producing cows. Mo^t of you can cull your your chickens and do a pretty good Job of it. County Agent Richard Machlele and Assistant Agent Carl J. Hansoi think that when you start on the dairy cows it's a little different. You need records on producton be- fore you can tell for certain whether a cow is making you a profit or Just filling up farm space. If you are having your herd tested in the D. H. I. A. you can get the informa- tion from these records. For the dairymen In the county who are not in the Dairy Herd Improvement Association we are trying to organ- ize an owner sampler system to help you check the dairy cows In your herd. How the System Works Briefly this Is how the owner sampler system works. *The cow tester In your locality will leave sample bottles, dipper and scabs at your farm when he goes by to test a D. H. I. A. herd In your locality. You will take samples and weigh the milk from each cow that eve- ning and again the next morning. The cow tester picks up these samples on the way to his next stop. He will mall you a report on your test and help you plan a dairy ration. At the end of the year he will make out your production record for the year. Of course these records will be unofficial but for your own use they will be Just as good In de- termining each cow's worth as an official test. If you are Interested, get In touch with your local cow tester or contact the Extension office. while the Arrows were not up to «rette butt, one spark from a camp par, . fire, can be the cause of the de- . . - .. . jstructlon of thousands of acres of Travel to Rockford Friday 'timber that It took Nature can- This week Lowell travels to Rock- turles to create.

After the lo lven t has been dlstl'.l-«d off, says Battlstella. the olive essence can be used for converting lass highly esteemed food oils Into acceptable substitutes for olive oil.

This Is detr imental to business as well as the person. The National Association of Manufacturers and the U. 8.

P-T Association Would Improve

Community Life "Home and Family Living" h a s

been announced as the program theme for the PTA for the coming year.

This theme closely ties In with the objects of the National PTA or-ganization that seeks "to raise the s tandards of home life" and "to bring Into closer relation the home and the school, tha t parenta and teachers may cooperate Intelligent-ly In the training of the child."

The local PTA la one of 80,000 such associations throughout the country having a total ' membership of over 5 million parsons. Member-ship here last year was 281, and a d r i v e for additional members through a housf to house canvaa t h a t s tar ted this week will seek to bring the total up to 860.

Each local 'unit Is a self-govern-ing group that plans Its programs and activities to meet the needs of children and youth In the commun-ity. P T A In Lowell was s tar ted three years ago and during this t ime many outstanding speakers have been brought here f rom the fields of general education, con-servation, mental heal th and child health.

I t haa also contributed to the school building fund and furnished a room a t the school for the care of children taken sick during school hours. I t has given support and helped to promote a pre-school health clinic and visits here by T B x-ray mobile units.

Through Its meet ing* It has brought the school administration, teachers and parents Into closer contact with the result that there Is bet ter understanding of problems In the education of children and of the f inancial difficulties involved in providing adequate physical and curriculum facilities.

The growth and contributions of the local organization In three years Is considered remarkable and has merited commendation f rom the district organization. F u r t h e r growth and service to the commun-ity would be accelerated by la-creased membership.

A s s u r o s S o f c H u n t i n g

Hun te r s who would like to live and t ake to the fields In fu ture hunt ing seasons a r e reminded that 28 persons died and another 147 were Injured In the 1948 season as the result of careleasness with fire-arms.

The conservation depar tment sug-gests tha t new hunters especially, enter ing the fields for the f irs t time th is fall, heed the following basic rules of hunt ing safety:

Handle every gun with the re-spect due a loaded gun.

Car ry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into an automobile, camp, or home.

Make sure the barrel and action of the gun are clear of obstruction.

Carry gun so direction of muzzle can be controlled even if you stumble.

Make sure of your target before pulling the trigger.

Do not point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.

Never leave a gun unattended un-less it has been unloaded.

Do not climb tretea or fences with a loaded gun.

Never fire at a flat, hard surface, or the surface of water.

Remember tha t GUN P O W D E R and ALCOHOL do not mix.

Mrs. Needham and family wish to thank all the fr iends who called and those who sent flowers, gif ts and carda, to make her 100th birth-day anniversary a happy one.

Fires in Hie Home Take Terrible Toll

With the Noronlc tragedy still f resh In the memory of Michigan people, a s ta tement which the Michigan Depar tment of Health made today should be special food for thought during National Fire Prevention Week, October 9 to 18.

"You are 28 times as apt to die f rom fire In your own home as f i re In all other places combined," the Depar tment said. "A total of 289 Michigan people died f rom burns, fire or explosions In Michigan last year, 278 of them In their own homes."

"Firs t cause of fa ta l dwelling fires Is the misuse of petroleum products, such as kerosene or gaa-ollne, for kindling. Overheated or faulty cooking or heating equip-ment, overloa^led circuits or poor wiring, forgotten electric Irons, carelessly put out cigarettes, smok-ing In bed, rusted out stovepipes, cleaning fluid, kindling .wood near the aah can, cardboard or wooden contalnera for aahes, and matches

MR. AND MRS. W M . DICKEN KEEP GOOD RECORDS Henry H. demons. 54 Dies A t Trailer Home

Funeral services were held Wed-nesday afternoon a t two o'clock at Roth Chapel for Henry H. Clemens. 86. and burial was made at River Ridge cemetery. Belding. The Rev. Norman O. Woon offi-ciated.

Mr. d e m o n s was born June 7, 1893. and has always lived a quiet and retiring life. He came here from near Belding some time ago and made his home In his trailer house at Recreation Park . He had been In 111 health for the past several months and only recently returned from a hospital where he had received t reatment .

A neighbor, Clare Brown, who lives across the street saw Mr. Clemens come f rom his t rai ler Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock and fall Just outside. He a t once went over to help him and called Deputy Sheriff F r a n k Stephens, who found him dead when he ar-rived. Coroner Pau l Bloxsom at-tributed his death to a hear t at-tack.

left where children can reach them, are other Important causes.

Consider these Items a check list for F i re Prevention Week, the De-par tment suggested.

Then consider another thing: Nearly half of the people who died from fires In Michigan homes last year were children under 14 years of age.

Do not leave your young chil-dren alone at home, even for a few minutes, the Department coun-selled.

Wm, Dickon, who with his and daughter Lydia Ann live their comfortable modern home near Whlte'a Bridge east of Lowell, is a business'I er. By that s ta tement v tha t he keeps a business record of his work about the place.

Mr. and Mrs. Dlcken own 401 acrea of land, 276 of which is under cultivation, the rest being pasture

land and wood lot. They have a herd of young cattle, mostly Here-fords and keeps an average of 70 Hampshire hogs.

Mr. Dlcken says this has been a big years for the general fa rmer , and all grain crops Including corn, were bumper yields with the ex-ception of oats which he calls the worst crop he ever saw In Michigan

Besides his own harvesting Mr. Dlcken haa been able to assist neighbors with combining, corn picking, husking, hay baling, and other work with his modem equip-ment.

Among his varied crops this year, Mr. Dlcken had 80 acres whea t 62 acres corn, 40 acres Mammoth Clover, 40 acres other hay, and he has 70 acres of wheat sowed for next year's harvest .

JU8T IMAGINE

The 1949 corn crop is a bundle of statistics that add to a bumper har-vest. To visualize what the yield means, let us Imagine that Indiana, Iliinois and Ohio were one enor-moua cornfield. It would cover 888 miles east to west, 388 miles north to south. This would be the acre-age of corn grown this year. A fas t train, going west, through this cornfield, would enter it a t sun-down and not leave It until sunrise.

Now, if you could bring all of the corn to a single loading

A stubborn bunch of Lee High Rebels came to Recreation Park shelled Friday night and gave the Red platform, it would require 1,934,246 Arrows and their fans several un- boxcars to hold It. The same amount comfortable moments before going weighing in short tons would be fa r down to a 13 to 0 defeat.

MochieW ond Honson Expkria Workings off Owner Sompler System

We have been talking all summer about the Kent County Extension Service checking upon the effici-ency of the f a rm business. One of the steps In tha checkup Is to cull out the boarders. Get rid of the cull hens and low producing cows. Mo^t of you can cull your your chickens and do a pretty good Job of it.

County Agent Richard Machlele and Assistant Agent Carl J . Hansoi think that when you s t a r t on the dairy cows it 's a little different . You need records on producton be-fore you can tell for certain whether a cow is making you a profit or Just filling up fa rm space. If you are having your herd tested in the D. H. I. A. you can get the informa-tion f rom these records. F o r the dairymen In the county who are not in the Dairy Herd Improvement Association we are trying to organ-ize an owner sampler system to help you check the dairy cows In your herd.

How the System Works Briefly this Is how the owner

sampler system works. *The cow tester In your locality will leave sample bottles, dipper and scabs at your f a rm when he goes by to test a D. H. I. A. herd In your locality. You will take samples and weigh the milk f rom each cow tha t eve-ning and again the next morning. The cow tester picks up these samples on the way to his next stop. H e will mall you a report on your test and help you plan a dairy ration.

At the end of the year he will make out your production record for the year. Of course these records will be unofficial but for your own use they will be Just as good In de-termining each cow's worth as an official test. If you are Interested, get In touch with your local cow tester or contact the Extension office.

fense Secretary Johnson's going to do to the Navy next?"

Answer, "Nope."

"Reduce the Navy's football team to nine men. He says the B-86 will take care of .the situation."

On the serious side. It seems to me the airing now being given the subject of Navy morale has a very useful purpose. The only way that military men can really give vent to their opinions Is to be requested by a Congressional committee to speak frankly. Classifications of "restricted," "secret," or "confiden-tial" matter are necessary for the protection of the military eetabllah-ment. On the other hand, they un-questionably keep a member of the armed forces from saying what he thinks unless Congress gives him relief from the gag.

He Is a patriotic Ameri-can In the truest sense of the word,. He Is convinced it's up to him to carry the ball for the Navy.

Speaking of carrying the ball, what a sad day for the U. of M. laat Saturday! The Monday-morning quarterbacks we,re having a lively time of it criticizing Michigan's Judgment In calling a pass on the 11 yard line with only two yards to go for a f irst down.

All things considered it probably wasn't the sharpest decision. On the other hand, f rom a purely strategic point of view the play might be justified this way. Bj» attempting a pass ra ther than run-ning the ball, the team had two extra downs to go over the goal line—that is, they could use up the 2nd and 3rd downs on attempted passes whereas if they ran the ball over they would only have four chances. The rub was, however, Michigan's passing attack wasn't worth a darn all day. I t was a long-shot that failed and they threw the

Our big action In the House last week was extensive amendments to the Social Security Bill. I favored broadening coverage and Increasing payments but the strategy of the administration leaders burned me up. They rammed the bill down our throats without giving us a chance to amend it on the floor. I voted against this but to no avail. Under the "closed rule" the bill sailed through the House on a huge major-ity. Perhaps the Senate, however, will modify the legislation.

Had two visitors In Washington last week: Mr. Leo Walsh from Grand Rapids as well as Dr. and Mrs. Southwlck. It 's very beautiful In Washington these days. Autumn comes slowly but surely.

State aid to school districts and teacher retirement will be approx-imately |140 millions during 1949-SO. Local taxes will provide an addi-tional $76 millions for operating purposes, giving an average of S21B for each of the 1,060,000 children now enrolled.

The current year Is witnessing the greatest school construction program in more than 20 years. That 's saying a lot!

Furthermore, teachers' salaries are expected to reach an average of $3,400 per year, an increase of $200 over last year. This means better qualified teachers and fewer over-loaded classrooms since the teach-er shortage Is not as serious as it was during the past few years.

As Dr. Lee M. Thurston sees the situation from the focal point of state superintendent of public in-struction, "Michigan education is looking up. We have more money, more classrooms and more children.

"Enrollments In parochial and private schools will undoubtedly exceed 200,000, making a total of about 260,000 children enrolled in the various schools for elementary and secondary children.

"Enrollments are following a pat-tern similar to the pattern following World War I when there waa an Increase of f rom 16,000 to 36,000 a year.

"The classroom and school build-ing situation which has been almost at a standstill since 1935 will also show substantial Improvement this year. In 1946 only $8,000,000 was spent for new school buildings and additions; In 194«, $4,000,000; In 1947, $6,000,000; In 1948, $12,000,000.

M l :

The year 1949 will probably wit-ness the greatest construction pro-gram In more than 20 years. From January 1, 1949 to June 80,1949, the Municipal Finance commission ap-proved $30,000,000 in bond Issues for new school buildings or addi-tions.

"About 50 per cent of the con-struction will be in additions and Improvements, the other 60 percent in new buildings. The total need for school building construction to eliminate half-day sections, base-ment rooms and to provide safe, healthful buildings for all children over the next ten years Is about $400,000,000. '

"While the sum being spent In 1949-50 will not remedy all the situation. It will represent a good start and eliminate many of the almost Impossible situations that exist today.

Most of this Increase in enroll-ment will be in the elementary grades since high school enroll-ments have been approximately stable for the last five years. I t is likely, however, that with fewer Jobs for high school youth there will also be another Increase In the secondary schools.

"There Is still a teacher shortage In the elementary field but an ade-quate supply In the high school grades. I t has also been found that teachers' salaries are encouraging teachers to Improve their own edu-cational background, since the rec-ords of the 22 teacher-training In-stitutions In the state show that almost 10,000 regularly employed teachers are continuing their edu-cation through summer and exten-sion courses."

Next weak in this column will be presented an Interview with Dr. Thurston about Michigan high schools, Junior colleges, adult edu-cation and other phases of the Michigan public school program.

Kent A& Topics Notes from Kent County Extension

Office by Richard Machleta

Enjoyed the story featured on the farm page of the Press on Ray-mond Jost 's activities with his poul-try flock. We have watched Ray's poultry In years past and marveled at this wonderful success.

We often wonder why more farm-ers aren't in the egg production end of the poultry business. I have been told that the city of Grand Rapids eats eggs most of the year which are produced around In Minnesota. I believe many local eggs are sold in Detroit. Kent Couhty farmers have one of the best markets here In Grand Rapids and should be thinking about quality egg produc-tion as one of the leading farm en-terprizes. You too can make poul-try pay if you practice good man-agement

Put Kent County on the Main AIRLINE

MtAHS tO,000 MORI JOBS.

Airport improvement is Kent County^ ONLY chance for any type of "main line" transportation. Adequate air transportation facilities, both passenger and air freight, have a vital effect on every man, woman and child in Kent County.

To meet the challenge of other communities now expanding airport facilities, Kent County must expand NOW. Modern 4-engined aircraft, already providing the bulk of the nation's air service, are prohibited from using our airport with-out waiver. Two-engine DC-^s, scheduled to be removed from service within a few years, are the only standard commercial aircraft now able to operate here.

Airport expansion will mean 10,000 more jobs in Kent County by 1955, based upon industries depending upon modern air transportation. If meons new mar-kets for Kr-tf Cvjnty agrkultvral products. It means passenger schedules that will connect Kent County directly with other major points.

Kent County Airport is self-supporting. For less than $1.25 per person in Kent County for each of two years only, we can expand our airport to meet this challenge. By approving thia airport development proposal, Kent County will receive $8.21 in State and Federal funds for every S1.25 raised locally.

Vote YES-Monday Oct. 17 for Airport Development

Justice, his purpose Is to set Justice In the earth. God plays no favorites among nations. Any nation that lives by God's laws, lives; the na-tlon that defies God haa signed its own death warrant. There are no peoples who can "get by" with what they please, if what they please is not the will of God. There are people now who do not believe that. They would say. Look at Rus-sia! In Isaiah's time there were those who would say to Isaiah: You must be wrong—look at Assyria! Tnere Is a nation that does not know God, and yet grows every year stronger and stronger.

• • •

God's A x

TSAIAH has a startling answer to * that objection. (Chap. 10.) As-syria is a tool in God's hand, no more. He admits that Assyria has no standard but force, she worships only sheer Power. But there are other nations, wicked ones, which God Intends to punish; one of these is the nation of Israel.

Assyria waa destined to de-stroy Israel once and for all, and to damage Jndah so se-verely she never would recov-er . All thia, Isaiah aaya, is In God's plan.

God does not punish an evil na-tion with legions of angels; he punishes it with Invasions and de-feats In war. Assyria was an ax in the hand of God, cutting down the rotting trees of selfish and unjust' nations. ^

• • • *

R e t u r n T o God! •

PEOPLE in Isaiah's time were putting their trust. Just as we

do nowadays. In alliances, pacts. International combinations of all kinds. Isaiah vfarns ominously that this will not do, by Itself. Not that all alliance: are bad; in chapter 19 he actually pictures Assyria, Egypt and Israel a s brothers-in-arms.

But he doea not hold out any poliUoai scheme or combina-tion aa the best hepe of a na-tion. Return to God! ia the prophet's call. So in ear time, whether It be a general Mao-Arthur or a theologian B run-ner.

Many of our ablest men are warning us even now, that humani-ty is facing an alternaUve; Either go on the way of selfishness and war down to destrucUon, or else go back to the Source of Justice, truth and love, the God In whom alone is salvation.

Transplant Now

If you expect to transplant ever-greens or plant new ones In your yard, do It now. The fall is the proper time for this work. Af ter Evergreens are set out, spray the tops with water every day for a couple of weeks. This is the time to divide the perennials. Separate the large clumps and place them in other parts of the flower beds. When planting new, untried peren-nials, get three of a kind and place In different sections, for one plant may do well in one spot where an-other will be weak or die because of difference in drainage and weather exposure.

Egg Preservation. Putting up eggs in water-glass solution Is widely used as a preservation method, b u t It Is unsatisfactory If they have to be shipped, as they will not keep long If taken from the solution. Dipping eggs In bolllng-hnt mineral oil has been also large-ly used, especially In California. The heat coagulates a film of egg white underneath the shell and the heavy oil ("liquid paraffin") helpe seal the pores. This proceis can be Improved by simply dissolving about 2 percent of aluminum stear-ate In the oil to be used. If such a solution is wiped on the shells cold. It unals them against evapora-tion and the admission of oxygen, which is tbe cause of egg spoilage.

A great majori ty of the sounding boards used lay larger piano makers

Personality Plays Bl^ Part In Accidents, Survey Shows

People who habitually crutr.plc the fenders of other pcople'a cars do not do it because of poor eye-sight but because of personality. This i t the conclusion reached by Northwestern university psycholo-gists after a study of personal char-acteristics of commercial bus driv-ers as related to their accident rec-ords.

Extensive questionnaires among bus drivers with both good and bad records were issued, in order to de-termine which personality factors coincide with accident pronencss. They found that, contrary to gener-belief, difference^ between safe and accident-prone drivers on the Job could not be attributed to any dif-ferences In visual acuity, depth of perception, night vision, recovery from glare, complex reaction time or mental test scores, but rather to basic personality differences which tend to make an individual "acci-dent-prone" or "accident-free.** Rigid company screening, how-

—basically the same material that goes into women's stockings-in working parts of light machinery and equipment is forecast by plas-tics experts of Du Pont company Indicative, they said, of a trend to-ward molded nylon parts that in some appllcaNons outwear metal and require no lubrication, was adoption of the material for wheel bearings in a new line of baby car-riages. While this was one of th* first bearing applications of nylon to go into commercial production, many other bearing and gear uses are being evaluated and its early adoption Is expected in friction par t i of light electrical equipmenL such a t food mixers and shavers.
