Arrows Eliminated in District Finals After Winning Opener With Belding

After narrowly beating the Beld-ing Redskins. 64-61, Friday, the Red Arrows were eliminated in the Dis-trict finals Saturday night by Greenville. S&-51.

This concludes the 56-57 cage season and athletes turn to track, hasehnll, and tennis for the Spring. The Arrows finished the court sea? son with a 4-13 record.

Against the Redskins of Belding. the Arrows led 15-13 at the first quarter and 35-33 at intermission. Tills margin was whittled to 54-53 nt the three-quarter mark.

During the final canto the Red-skins pulled ahead with eighteen seconds of play remaining, 61-60. With seven seconds remaining, sen-ior forward Jim Carr calmly mesh-ed a jump shot to put the Arrows ahead.

A wild Redskin pass gave the Arrows possession of the hall with one second to go. On the pass in-bounds. Orison Abel was fouled and made two charity tosses after time had run out, making the final score 64-61.

Orison Abel tallied 20 points as he led his team to victory. He was followed by Jim Carr with 14; Len ^ase, 13: Bemie Collins, 12; Chuck Ryder, threei and Don Daw-son, two

Against Greenville t l i c Arrows did not fare as well. Hitting only

17 per cent of their first half shots, the Arrows trailed 17-13 and 36-?n at the first two periods. Coming back strong in the second half the Redblrds narrowed the r a p to 44-39 as the final period began.

However the Yellow Jackets' advantage paid off as they pulled out to win. 60-51.

Their Final Game Seniors playing their last game

were I.eonaid Fase, Orison Abel, Bernard Collins, Jim Carr. Keith Fase, and John Norton.

Sophomore Chuck Ryder led the Arrows with 13 points. Abel hit for 10 and Carr scored nine. Storm-zand meshed four and 1-en Fase. Norton. Henderson, and Wayne Mil-ler each had two.

Rdrnle Stars Perhaps the outstanding player

of the tourrament was 5-ft. 8-ln. Bernie Collins who, when he him-self could not get a rebound, would tie up the opposing player and ob-tain a jump ball with boys rang-ing from six feet to 6-ft. 5-in.. These contributed greatly to the Arrow cause.

Next week we will conduct a sea-son review with scores, statistics, averages, etc.

Can Give SmdIC IM W • i n i i l i l• g «— — vawaote Experience*

Even though the child f rom the a n all or rural community may need to prepare to m a k e ' h i s way in qrban society, there la every reason for him to make full use of his small community exper-iences, says Robert S. Fox, di-rector of The University School at The University of Michigan. -

"Educators today beUeve that good learning experiences utilize and grow from the child's own en-vironment. I t makes good sense for children to tackle pmhlatas that a re real and Immediate ," he says.

" In the small or rura l commun-ity, families are closely knit," Professor Fox reminds. " T h e y have many experiences as fsmily units. H ie school, too. Is usually not large and every child i s known. As he progresses through school, his potential contributions can be identified and recognized.

"This atmosphere of frlendl> closeness also prevail* in the com-munity. Every citizen should have a par t in the school. And children should have many opportunities to participate in community activi-ties,

"Friendly associations with oth-er membeni of the community give the children a feeling of be-longing and of being Important, each with his own place in thc^ life of the school and of the com* munity.

"Such a community Is not trou-bled b y delinquency. Students have a program in which the school makes an effort to meet their needs for development in the rural community in which they live."

Commenting- on the advantages to be gained from living in small communities. Professor Fox says, "In small communities, the mach-inery for solving problems Is pro-bably more visible and less com-plex than In city centers. Thus, the small community' provides a laboratory w h e r e youngsters growing up can observe and some-times take a hand In the citizen's Important business of working

Research Vehicle To Aid Motorists

The Highway Traffic Safety Cern te r at Michigan State University in East Lansing ha* just acquired a traffic engineer's d ream car

It probably won't catch the pub-lic fancy In automobiles. On t t l t outside it looks like any other 1956 station wagon in the low price field—If one overlooks the fifth wheel suspended f rom the rear . This resembles a bicycle wheel and its function is to measure mile-age ' more accurately than the standard odometer.

But the Inside of the car it a-nother mattei^-at least for traffic engineers. Here, and under the hood are a number of stathdlcal and mechanical devices designed to tell the research engineer a great many things about speed, traveled, t ime elasped. braking ef-ficiency and the wear and tear of today's highway traveling.

In addition to engineering re-search, the vehicle will be used in psychological studies of driver behaviour on the highway.

Specifically, SIC,000 worth of special equipment has been instal-led here by the Center In addition to a 110.000 statift ical Instrument loaned by the General Motors Proving Ground for research work now In progress by the Center, The only one of Its kind in existence, its function is to determine operating characterist ics of a vechile. Its 51 counters record and measure such things as speed, gasoline coiuump-tion, deceleration and acceleration.

Detroiters will be interested to know that this d ream car, in a test run through the motor city averaged 8 miles per gallon in downtown congestion and 16 miles per gallon on the Ford Express-way, At 4:30 p, m., 70 per cent of the t ime downtown was at 16 miles per hour and 30 per cent was 17 to 32 miles per hour. On the expressway It worktd out at 12 per cent (of the time) for speeds 0 to 16 m.p.h.; 9 per cent. 17 to 32 m.p.h.; and 79 per cent, above 32 m.p.h.

Another device plots the speed profile of the vehicle against dis-tance or time. On the test run in Detroit, the average speed down-town was 10 m.p.h. and on the ex-pressway It was 42 m.p.h. Delays downtown averaged 1.7 minutes every mile and almost none on tho expressway.

A concealed r ada r speed meter and graphical necorder measures Instantaneous speed runs and gaps (of other vehicles) in the traffic s t ream, S p e r ' and the distance between cars are recorded for In-dividual vehicles n e a r , the re-search car .

Dr. Dolf May. a member of the Highway Traffic Safety Center staff and of the Civil Engineering department of Michigan S t a t e University, under whose direction the engineering research will be conducted, claims it to be one of the best traffic research tools now In existence anywhere.

Under the direction o f Dr, Abram M. Barch. Center staff member and the Psychology de-partment , the acquisition of driv-ing skills and the effect of i l tua tional factors on driving i^ehavior

Would Double Fee For Driver's Uceme; More Low Enforcement

An Increase In the driver 's li-cense fee f rom |1,S0 to S3, with $2 of the amount reverting to the respective cities and counties for law enforcement use has been pro-posed by the permanent legisla-tive committee of the Michigan associations of chiefs of police, sheriffs. Judges, Justices of the peace, and prosecutors and- the attorney general 's department and Michigan State Police.

The proposal will be. written In-to a bill which the committee will ask to have lntroduo»d at the pre-sent session of the legislature.

Sheriff Robert Russell, of Gra-tiot county, president of the Mich-igan sheriffs association, said the S2 would provide for more ade-quate law enforcement on the county and local levels.

License renewals now cost S1.50, of which 50 cents Is returned to the city or county for conducting t h e driver examinations. Both county sheriff and municipal po-lice have long complained they have lost money on the operation.

The fee for a beginner's license is S3, of which $2 is now returned. Chauffeur licenses are 12 a year . TTiese fees would remain un-changed.

Meeting at State Police head-quar ters In .Eas t Lansing, the committee a l io went on record as favoring the following meas-u re s :

Remodel outmoded provisions of the law governing the l andllng of t raff ic violation of fense-

Chemical test for intoxication. The measure will be the s ame as that recommended in the national uniform vehicle code and is now the law in 22 states.

Revision of the muffler law to require that no muffler shal* be replaced, changed or altered in any manner so as to increase the noise or smoke emitting from the exhaust system.

Revision of the motor vehicle code to include as. a second of-fense in the revocation of a dri-ver ' s license for violation of the s ta te t raff ic laws any offense in which conviction was under a city ordinance.

Permitt ing probate courts to t ransfer Jurisdiction over minors more than 15 years of age but under 17; who violate motor ve-hicle laws o r ordinances, to courts having criminal Jurisdiction.

Former State and Detroit Police Commissioner Donald S. Leonard, committee chairman, and State Police Commissioner Joseph A. Childs. secretary, were re-elected.

Michigan Week Planners Promote State Flag Use

Widespread use of tlie state flag will be promoted throughout Michi-gan by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, It was announced this week by Harvey Campbell, execu-tive vice president of the Detroit Board of Commerce, and flag pro-motion cKairman for Michigan Week.

K. T. Keller, Detroit* general chairman for the 1957 Michigan Week, to be celebrated from May 19 to 25. urges greater, use of the s ta te flag by Industry, business, schools and homes.

When the first Michigan Week was held In 1954 the s tate flag was unknown to a vast majori ty of the s tate 's citizens. Each year more of the banners have been display-ed, but the number of places and Institutions flying state flags a re few and far between, according to Mr. Campbell.

Arrrangements have been com-pleted with the state Junior Cham-ber of Commerce for that body to sell Michigan flags to the great-est possible number of f i rms and Individuals. All Junior Chamber chapters are expected to partici-pate.

The present state flag, adopted by the legislature In 1911, has e blue background with the Michigan coat of a rms on one side.""

Mr. Campbell Is chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Board for Michigan Week, and was appointed by Mr. Keller to direct the f lag promotion in addition to his oiher work on the board.

LoweN Not Alone in Power Revenue Drop

Lowell is not alone in its pro-bletn of losing revenues in the mu-nicipal power plant.

We notice that Petoskey's clly-owned power system showed a de-crease of $64,600 in 1956 in spite of a $9,800 increase in revenue.

Operating expenses climbed lo a record IUkIi, leaving a net of $41,465 compared with a profit of $106,192 in 1955.

Lowell, a much smaller system showed a drop In gross earnings of $1,750 and an increase of $1,000 in expenditures. Net earnings in 1955 of $30,000 dropped almost one half, to $17,182 the past year.

As many as 15,000 eggs may be laid at one t ime by the American toad, but less than one tadpole in

. a hundred will live lo roach the adult stage.

"For example, traffic every-where is required to keep to the right; drivers are forbidden to pass on hills, curves, and other unsafe places. Many of the regulations which vary among states and lo-calities, are posted on signs which should be noted by all drivers," he emphasized.

"Of course, drivers who pull house trailers, or the drivers of trucks, are sometimes subject to special regulations. However, the average driver, by knowing the regulations of his home state, by observing the traffic signs where ever he travels, and by excer-ising ordinary c a r e , common sense, and courtesy behind the wheel, should be able to drive safely without running afoul of the law.

"Keep your driving knowledge as up to date as your car," Baird-Smlth concluded.

G.O.P. Sets Plans Toward Wiiming April 1 Election

Under new leadership and with a team of candidates devoted to a program of progress in Mich-igan modeled on President Eisen-hower's program of progress for the nation. Republicans set out this week to win the April 1 elec-tion.

One of the chief planks in the Republican platform is a program to speed up road construction through full use of the Revenue Bond Act and accomplish in 7 years what now is scheduled for 13 years under the Federal aid act. This can be done without ad-ditional State taxes and in addi-tion more money could be made available for rural roads aad city and village streets by a re-dls-Irlbutlon of present highway funds, the platform declares.

Details of the program will be unfolded as the campaign develops, said George M. Foster, of Lansing, Chief Deputy Highway Commis-sioner and nominee for Highway Commissioner In the April 1 voting.

Republican candidates will tour every area In Michigan In a "Town meeting" type of campaign, said newly-elected State Chairman Law-rence B. Llrdemer, 35-year-old Stockbridge attorney.

Preliminary plans call for 10 re-gional meetings, with the candi-dates spending several days In each area contacting the voters In every community, Lindemer said.

"TTiis election will be no schoo-in and we are going to have to fight for every vote," he declared. "We are going to take our pro-gram. the issues and our candi-dates to all the people of Michigan. I believe the people want the type of progress presented by our can-didates and program."

Republicans nominees for the spring election are:

Dr. Edgar L. Harden. President of Northern Michigan College of Education at Marquette and form-er dean of Continuing Education at Michigan State University, for State Superintendent of Public In-struction.

George M. Foster, of Lansing, chief deputy Highway Commis-sionpr and an outstanding engineer, for State Highway Commissioner.

George W. Dean, of Detroit, President of the Michigan Federa-tion of Labor, and member of many advisory committees on ed-ucation and the White House Con-ference on Education, for State Board of Education,

Alfred B. Connable, of Kalama-zoo, incumbent seeking re-election, and Mrs. Ethel Watt, of Bitming-ham, for Board of Regents, Uni-versity of Michigan.

Frank Merriman, Deckervllle farmer and Frederick H. Muel-ler, of Grand Rapids, Incumbent seeking re-election, for the State Board of Agriculture, governing body of Michigan University.

Michael D. O'Hara. Menominee attorney, and Robert E. Childs, De-troit attorney and professor of law

at Wayne state University, for the State Supreme Court, long term, on the non-partisan ballot. ,

Joseph A. Moynihan, Detroit at-torney and former chief assistant United States District Attorney In Detroit, for State Supreme Court, short term.

The Republican State Conven-tion chose Mis. Albert S. Koeze, of Grand Rapids, a*- Vice-Chair-man of the Republican Party.

About SO million Americans-owners, employees and their fam-ilies—depend upon small business for their livelihood.

Getting beat by a team with the record of Greenville is certainly not disgraceful. Our boys lacked the poise that is gained from years of baskeibau, but no one denies their fighting spirit.

We felt Greenville looked quite bad, but the reason of course was Lowell's pressing defense We heard several people say that we were not big enough: this however was not the case. We took 31 high per-centage shots the' first half and hit 17 per ccnt of these.

The fact that we could get 31 good shots mepns that the pressing defense made up for our lack of ability on the bank boards. Al-though all the boys looked good at certain times we suspect that the defense of Leonard Fase^vhilo he was guarding Greenville's 33 was rather outstanding as this boy was rated very highly.

Although next year's team will be very short on experience It will probably average about G foot thus ending a two year period of Lowell fielding a team which was shorter than any of its opponents.

* * # It 's spring sport time. The high

school competes in Grand Valley competition in track, tennis, and baseball. Last year the track team finished second in the league and won the reglonals, the tennis team placed 3rd, and the baseball team placed 3rd.

Each of the sports have their own merits. Tennis has a high carry-over value, baseball offers team type competition while trftck places a premium on physical condition-ing and individual performance.

Lowell needs practically all of its male students to go out for a spring sport In order to do well in Valley competition. This sometimes puts an unusual strain on parents, but we who know the value of athletics feel that the training is second to none. We feel that the athlete is a better §on and a better citizen of tomorrow.

Final Call for Treen Many land owners throughout

Kent County have already placed orders with the Extension Office to fill their tree planting needs for the coming spring, according to Bill Rupp, county agricultural agent.

Trees have been coming fr<m the Michigan Department of Con-servation and Michigan State Uni-versity. According to last reports, trees still available are red pine seedlings and transplants, jack pine seedlings, white spruce seed-lings and transplants.

If you're Interested in placing an order, or being put on the mail-ing list for future tree orders, call or write the Co-operative Exten-sion Office.

When ordering trees It's neces-sary that you have a complete tax description of the property on which the trees will be planted.

Trees can be shipped directly to you. However, in the past a truck has been taken to the nursery and the trees delivered to a pick-up point for you in the county.

If you're interested, act now. T h e s e trees will be sold out shortly.

Stain Removal

The rule for success in remov-ing a stain is to start while the stain is fresh, even before It dries, if possible, advises Eleanor Dens-more, county home demonstration agent.

Try simple methods first. For a non-greasy stain, sponge with cold water. For a greasy stain, try a solvent.

Avoid hot water on an unknown stain, since hot water sets many stains.

Often, the method of cleaning is as important as the cleaning ma-terials chosen. Use removers spar-ingly. Many brief applications are better than one long one.

Use light, brushing motions—ne-ver rub a remover into the stain.

Spread a liquid remover uneven-ly into the cloth around the stain. Dry rapidly to help prevent rings.

An absorbent can be used to re-move a grease stain. Chalk, tal-cum, commeal and cornstarch work well on Jight, freshly-made spots of grease or splatters of sal-ad oil. Larger spots, or stains that have beconu set, may require a different method.

To use an absorbent, lay the stained article on a table and sprinkle a layer of the powder over the stain. Spread tbe pow-der around, and wnen it becomes gummy, shake or brush it off. Re-peat several times, or until the stain disappears.

If, after several treatments the stain still shows, place the stain between clean white blotting pa

The several items are sold at cost under direction of the Michi-gan Week state committee on pro-motional materials. Chaiiman of the committee is WUliShi Bond, ad-vertising manager of the J. L.

Other mem-bers of the committee are George Webber, advertising manager of Consumers Power Co., Jackson, and Joe Wells, administrative as-sistant in the Michigan Department of Agriculture.,

• Lawn Fertilizing Tlmo Now's the time to put on your

most Important fertilizer applica-tion of tho year. An application of from 10 to 20 pounds of a 10-6-1 or a 12-12-12 analysis fertilizer to one thousand square feet should be applied in the very near future. Be sure to get this fertilizer ap-plied before growth starts.

ThflT is a general recommenda-tion. For those of you who have had lawns in for over five years, county agriculture agent Bill Rupp, suggests you take a soil sample to the Extension Office for an ana-lysis.

If you've been fertilizing with compete fertilizers for a period of years, your lawns may have built up the phosphorus content until it has become toxic to the grass. In cases where there is high phos-phorus, a straight nitrogen fertili-zer is all that the lawn would need. EAT PRUNES RIGHT FROM BOX; JUST LIKE CANDY

Easiest way to cat a prune is right out of tho box—a good candy substitute for you and your fam-ily.

Prunes are now being "tender-ized". which means soaking is not necessary. In Tact, you don't even have to cook them.

Just fill a glass j a r or covered dish with prunes and add boiling wat%r to cover. Allow to stand in the refrigerator forty-eight hours or longer. The fruit will be tender and the syrup will be thick and flavorful.

For variety, add a few sticks of lemon when preparing the prunes. Or use fruit juices, such as pine-apple or grapefruit instead of wa-ter to produce a slightly different flavor.

Prunes add interest to many food dishes. They combine well with meats such as pork chops, ham or sausages. They can be stuffed with cream or cottage cheese for individual salads, or flavored gelatin blends well with molded into gelatin salads. Lemon with prunes.

F o r quick breads, combine prunes with plain coffee cake bat-ter and top them with sugar and cinnamon. Fillings can be made for coffee cakes from a mixture

of prunes, almonds, brown sugar and butter. Any plain muffin bat-ter takes on personality with the addition of prunes. For better fla-vor use the liquid from the prunes for some of the milk in the recipe.

Prunes arc good in pies; too. Just substitute prunes for raisins in your recipe for sour cream rai-sin pie.

Pipelines are big business- and big transportation. The long cyl-inders which snake now above the earth, now under It, criss-crossing the United States, now rank as the third largest freight movers In the country.

The story of this extraordinary growth Is told by Alfred Lansing in the Reader's Digest. Since World War H, our pipeline mile-age has Increased from 355,000 miles lo more than 686.000. That's close lo three times the U. S. railroad trackage.

Pipelines have unusual advan-tages :

They're economical. They're al-most entirely automatic. There are no empties to return nor unloaded vehicles to deadhead back.

A pipeline operates around "the clock, every day of the year, and almost always at peak capacity.

It can get Into—and out of— places that stop most conveyances. Maximum grade on a freight-carrying railroad Is three per cent, on a highway it rarely exceeds 12 per cent. For a pipeline, a 70 per cent grade Is considered easy.

To ship a 42-gallon barrel of gasoline from Philadelphia to New York costs $1.05'by rail, eight cents by pipeline.

But. contrary to popular notions, pipeline shipping Is not limited to gasoline and oil. You can ship any-thing in a seml-llquld condition. There are even small exclusive pipelines that carry nothings but antibiotics or fruit jucle or am-monia or milk.
