Recovery expected Picnic 4 no picnic' for Ken Kennedy Kenneth Kennedy is recovering in Saginaw St. Mary's Hospital after undergoing surgery for a ruptured disc he incurred Thursday, June 13, in a swimming mishap. Kennedy, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Kennedy of 4625 North Van Dyke Road, remains partially paralyzed as a result of the neck injury suffered during n picnic at Sleeper State Park. According to his mother, Kennedy has no movement from ' the chest down, and doctors do not expect movement to be restored for six or 12 weeks. "It will take a long time," Mrs. Kennedy said. "Rut it could have been so much worse." The injury occurred while Kennedy was participating in a picnic for members of the Cass City High School band. Ac- cording to Mrs. Kennedy, her son waded into the water, and when he reached waist-deep depth dived forward to begin swimming. Kennedy was then spotted floating on the surface. His sister, Bonnie, and Lynn Atwell, a member of the band, reportedly brought Kennedy to shore. "When he bent over to start swimming, ho either hit the bottom or hit a wave at its peak," said Mrs. Kennedy. Kennedy was taken by ambulance to Scheurer Hospital, Pigeon, then taken to St. Mary's for surgery. There was speculation that an old back injury had re- curred, causing the present disability. However, Mrs. Kennedy said that there is no causal ronuertion between a slipped disc suffered by her son two years ago and his latest injury. Dill Spencer, a band member, witnessed the incident. "After he dived in, he floated to the top," Spencer said. f "We thought he was kidding around, because he usually does. But after a minute we knew he wasn't." According to Spencer, "Lynn and Bonnie ran down and pulled him out. Lynn checked his breathing." Kennedy was then carried away from the water, Spencer said, and the land members tried to revive him.

A car driven by Albert Tropf, 71, of 4334 Seeger was struck in the side by a vehicle driven by Harvey Joseph Learman, 25, of Flint. Tropf was cited for failing to yield the right of way. Tropf was traveling west on Main and turned left onto Seeger, failing to see the Lear- man car traveling east. Learman reportedly applied the brakes but not in time to avoi< ! hitting the Tropf auto. According to the police re- port, a car was turning left in front of Learman, obstruct- ing Tropf's view of Learman's car. Elvira Tropf, 70, was a pas- senger in the Tropf vehicle. !• iding in the other car were Kenneth Learman, 18 months; Jane Learman, 23; Rita Learman , 16, and Michael Learman, three weeks. The right rear side of the Tropf car was damaged, and the front end and right fender were damaged on the Learman auto. Two cars were involved in a minor accident in the General Cable Corporation parking lot Monday, June 10. Kathryn Louis, 24, of 3223 Hoppe Road, Gagetown, was backing out of a parking plape when the pickup truck she was driving struck a car driven by Mela Menzel, 51, of 0835 Haist', Bay Port. No ticket was issued, and no injury was reported. James Albert Burton, 21, of 115 Grant St., Caro, was In- jured, but not hospitalized, after losing control of the car he was driving on Gun Club Koud, 1/4 mile west of Mertz Road, Tuesday, June 11. Burton told Tuscola County Sheriff's deputies that he was feeline verv drowsy while driving west on Gun Club Road and did not realize that he was approaching the stop sign at Mertz Road. When trying to stop, he lost control of his car, which left the road, rolled over and was totally de- molished. Burton was ticketed for failing to stop in the assured clear distance. Richard Spencer, 28, of RR No. 3, Cass City, struck and killed a deer on Dutcher Road, Saturday. Spencer was reportedlydriv- ing west on Uutcher when the deer darted into the path of his car. The left front fender of the Spencer car was damaged. School looks "rare" books for students Cass City High School is looking for a book that is out of print and Principal Arthur Holmberg feels that there may be many of them still available in Cass City. It's not that the school is contemplating starting a rare book library. . .but rather that there are not enough driver training texts to go around. The text, "Man and the Motor Car", is now out of print and the school plans to change texts next year. Meanwhile, a boomingcourse enrollment has caused a short- age and the only remedy isused Ixioks from students. Holmberg asks that pupils with the text bring it to the school so this year's embryo drivers can be trained. A great many persons go from Cass City to Saginaw, Bay City, Flint, Pontiac and Detroit to work every day, but its rare whan someone heads to Cass City from the city to work. The Chronicle has one of the rare ones. He's Larry Werner who lives in Bay City, attends Michigan State and is summer interning at the Chronicle. Over the years we've had many students during the summer. We rank Larry near the top. We like his style and think you might, too, when you look over the stories about Decker and Father Raymond Pilarski. The Chronicle had another student join us on a part time basis this week. He's Roger Reid, a senior at Cass City High interested in photography and journalism. Although M. B. Auten's work at Hills and Dales General Hos- pital is well known (he was honored at a testimonial dinner) we can't let the time of his resignation from theboardpass without once again pointing out that without him there wouldn't have been a hospital. It took a very fortunate com- bination of circumstances to bring Hills and Dales to Cass City. Raising the money required: (1) A person who was a super salesman. (2) A person dedicated to the idea of a new hospital here. (3) A person who was in a position to know where the larger donations might be secured. (4) A person who was willing to donate FULL TIME (40hours or more a week) to the work for two or more years. Who else do you know that meets all of these qualifi- cations'' The community will always be in his debt. This week end the Hairi-sand Jim Moore, shop foreman, are headed for Chicago to see a Concluded on page six. Resigns —slil! active Auten unique at hospital After 24 years on the board of directors of Hills and Dales General Hospital, M. B. Auten, the man who almost single handedly raised the money for the new facility, has resigned. Although Auten has given up his day-to-day contact with the hospital, he will remain closely associated with it. In an unprecedented move, the board of directors named him honorary chairman of the board and resident agent for the corporation. As chairman he will be welcomed to any sessions of the iKiard he cares to attend, President James Bauer ex- plained, and as resident agent he will help with the finances at the hospital. As a charter member of the board for what was then known as Cass City Community Hos- pital, Auten has been connected with all of the various fund raising efforts that stretched over some 20 years. In 1945 the first funds were raised and the financial report showed about $7,500 on hand. \\ was thought that $100,000 would build a great facility for the community. By 1950, the fund had reached §54,000 and it was here that Auten took over. As general chairman of the drive in 1957, he started to devote practically all of his time to raising money for Hills and Dales. By the end of '57 the total was $130,862.80. The amount was more than the original campaign goal figure, but far short of the amount needed for the new facility as planned 12 years after a new hospital was first suggested. For now the hospital was to cost a million dollars. Pro- bably the biggest boost to the construction came when a year- long campaign by Auten for Hill-Burton Federal funds was capped by a commitment for a half million dollar grant. . . . provided Cass City came up with an equal amount. With this incentive Auten doubled his efforts and the pledge total swelled. By the middle of 1959 it went over $417,000 and June 1,1960, Cass City had $481,770.15 and con- struction started. Besides raising the money, Auten devoted much of his time to Hills and Dales affairs after the facility opened. He guided it through the rocky financial days after the doors first opened anil leaves It in a very sound financial condition. RFADY TO EXPAND Today *he hosptts! isoper- ating at capacity, Bauer said, and plans are underway to build an addition. A committee has been formed to study and submit preliminary plans for a new wing. The hos- pital was built for expansion and the basic heat, laundry, kitchen and similar services were con- st ructed to handle the enlarged facility. It will not be necessary for the community to come up with more donations for the new wing. At the time of Monday's annual meeting, donated stock owned by the corporation was worth In excess of $100,000 and there was $160,000 more in the building fund. HO'.'SE APPOINTED Appointed to replace Auten on the board was Clinton House. Three other Incumbent mem- bers were re-elected without opposition. They are: Mrs. Sherwood Rice Jr., Archie Mc- Lachlan and Alex Ross. In the reorganization of the board Bauer was re-elected president. George Jacoby is vice-president and B. A. Calka, treasurer. Mrs. Rice is secretary. Fires spell death for Decker's boom Related pictures page G A sign onthefrontofSchreib- ners' Grocery reads: "Thank you--call again!" But cus- tomers haven't called for nearly five years now. The old train depot serves as the office of a fuel company, and the charred ruin of an old Frutchey Bean Elevator stands as a memorial to an earlier day when Decker, Mich., was not listed among the hundreds of small towns across the country dying from various causes. Less than a hundred people still live In this community, located east of M-53 on Decker Rd. Decker Is nearly dead. But the citizens of this tiny hamlet, even the newcomers, will tell a curious visitor about the dance hall and bowling alley, the grocery stores and pool hall, the barber shop and bank. Deckerltes will brag about the busy bean elevators, and the passenger trains which made dally trips to Port Huron and Bay City. The days of weekly fights at the Saturday night dances and the sound of the train whistle at the local station have given way to silence. 'JUST 4 CORNERS' "Just four corners here now," says Milton Ross. "It's peace- ful. Just a place to live." Ross was the first station agent at the Decker depot. When the depot closed, he operated the "farmers' elevator." "They used to line up for a couple of blocks at the elevator," Ross remembers. "We did lots of business." Beatrice V'atter is the Decker postmaster. She also recalls the livelier days in the tiny com- munity. She tells of the weekly fights at the dance hall, and she remembers fires. Talk to any Decker resident, and they will tell you of fires, Scan the abandoned weed- covered lots throughout the town for blackened building found- ations. Take another look at what Is left of the old bean elevator which brought so much busi- ness to the community. It Is charred also. When the ele- vators burned, the town began a slow but constant decline until today, when only a post office and a tavern remain open In."downtown Decker." "I remember the fire in the elevator," Mrs. Vatter says. "I stood on the doorstep and watched it burn." The Frutchey Bean Co. ele- vator burned, was rebuilt, and burned again, never to be re- built. The farmers' elevator, according to Ross, was later destroyed by flames, "about 15 years ago." Ross came to Decker In 1918. After working as station agent, he ran the elevator. Today, he lives across the road from where his elevator stood, where now stand the only new houses in the community, belonging to Kitchener Innes and Clarence Phillips. Innes sells grain to Decke- rltes and farmers In the sur- rounding area. "Yep, I've lived here all my life too," Innes boasts from the seat of his pickup truck. The two modern ranch-style dwellings stand on the west end of Decker and their presence constitutes a misplacement In time. The other houses in the community are old—very old, and one finds himself asking, "Why?" when he spots these recent additions. "We built our new house about three years ago," says Phillips, who has taken over the old de- pot as an office for his fuel oil distribution business. "Decker's a good place to live. We like It. It's quiet. Same as living in the country." Phillips has been delivering fuel oil to farms and service stations in the area for 21 years. Unlike the grocery and hard- ware stores, the fuel oil busi- ness has held up quite well, according to Phillips. But, for practical reasons, Phillips Is planning to move out of the old train depot --- a monument to another era, now sporting a green "Sinclair" sign. "We're planning on moving the office into a house trailer," Phillips says. "The ol' depot Is In pretty bad shape. Hard to heat In the winter." Phillips has lived In the community for 19 years, and he admits sadly that the town is dying. And he gives the same cause as most of the other residents: "Been a lot of fires here, a lot of fires," THE'BIG STORES' There is a Deckertte who talked very little about the fires. Russell (Baldy) Baldwin lives above tne post office now. He and his wife had come to Decker In 1940, bought what was then a combination post office-gro- cery store and retired in 1001. He has also witnessed the decline, but he blames the "big stores." "The thing that caused Decker to decline is the same thing that caused little towns all over the country to decline," Baldwin says. "Those big stores with their advertising. People have transportation, and they go to the chain stores." "Baldy" also blames the change in farming for the de- cline of rural communities. "People are getting better prices for farm products." Baldwin says. "The farmer got more money to go with and he went." And so goes life in Decker. The "old-timers" want to talk about the "old days.* The young people have heard so much about the past that they can carry on a pretty fair nostalgic con- Concluded on page 6 Early Decker looking east .... looking west

The text, "Man and the MotorCar", is now out of print andthe school plans to change textsnext year.

Meanwhile, a boomingcourseenrollment has caused a short-age and the only remedy isusedIxioks from students.

Holmberg asks that pupilswith the text bring it to theschool so this year's embryodrivers can be trained.

A great many persons go fromCass City to Saginaw, Bay City,Flint, Pontiac and Detroit towork every day, but its rarewhan someone heads to CassCity from the city to work.

The Chronicle has one of therare ones. He's Larry Wernerwho lives in Bay City, attendsMichigan State and is summerinterning at the Chronicle.

Over the years we've hadmany students during thesummer. We rank Larry nearthe top. We like his style andthink you might , too, whenyou look over the stories aboutDecker and Father RaymondPilarski.

The Chronicle had anotherstudent join us on a part timebasis this week. He's RogerReid, a senior at Cass CityHigh interested in photographyand journalism.

Although M. B. Auten's workat Hills and Dales General Hos-pital is well known (he washonored at a testimonial dinner)we can't let the t ime of hisresignation from theboardpasswithout once again pointing outthat without him there wouldn'thave been a hospital.

It took a very fortunate com-bination of circumstances tobring Hills and Dales to CassCity.

Raising the money required:(1) A person who was a

super salesman.(2) A person dedicated to the

idea of a new hospital here.(3) A person who was in a

position to know where thelarger donations might besecured.

(4) A person who was willingto donate FULL TIME (40hoursor more a week) to the workfor two or more years.

Who else do you know thatmeets all of these qualifi-cations''

Resigns —slil! active

Auten unique

at hospitalAfter 24 years on the board

of directors of Hills and DalesGeneral Hospital, M. B. Auten,the man who almost singlehandedly raised the money forthe new facility, has resigned.

Although Auten has given uphis day-to-day contact with thehospital, he will remain closelyassociated with it.

In an unprecedented move,the board of directors namedhim honorary chairman of theboard and resident agent forthe corporation.

As chairman he will bewelcomed to any sessions ofthe iKiard he cares to attend,

President James Bauer ex-plained, and as resident agenthe will help with the financesat the hospital.

As a charter member of theboard for what was then knownas Cass City Community Hos-pital, Auten has been connectedwith all of the various fundraising efforts that stretchedover some 20 years.

In 1945 the first funds wereraised and the financial reportshowed about $7,500 on hand.\\ was thought that $100,000would build a great fac i l i ty forthe community.

By 1950, the fund had reached§54,000 and it was here thatAuten took over. As generalchairman of the drive in 1957,he started to devote practicallyall of his t ime to raising moneyfor Hills and Dales.

By the end of '57 the totalwas $130,862.80.

The amount was more thanthe original campaign goalfigure, but far short of theamount needed for the newfacility as planned 12 yearsafter a new hospital was firstsuggested.

For now the hospital was tocost a million dollars. Pro-bably the biggest boost to theconstruction came when a year-long campaign by Auten for

Hill-Burton Federal funds wascapped by a commitment for ahalf million dollar grant. . . .provided Cass City came up withan equal amount.

With this incentive Autendoubled his efforts and thepledge total swelled. By themiddle of 1959 it went over$417,000 and June 1,1960, CassCity had $481,770.15 and con-struction started.

Besides raising the money,Auten devoted much of his timeto Hills and Dales affairs afterthe facility opened. He guidedit through the rocky financialdays after the doors first openedanil leaves It in a very soundfinancial condition.

RFADY TO EXPAND

Today *he hosptts! isoper-ating at capacity, Bauer said,and plans are underway tobuild an addition.

A committee has been formedto study and submit preliminaryplans for a new wing. The hos-pital was built for expansion andthe basic heat, laundry, kitchenand similar services were con-st ructed to handle the enlargedfacil i ty.

It will not be necessary for thecommunity to come up withmore donations for the newwing. At the time of Monday'sannual meeting, donated stockowned by the corporation wasworth In excess of $100,000and there was $160,000 morein the building fund.

HO'.'SE APPOINTED

Appointed to replace Autenon the board was Clinton House.Three other Incumbent mem-bers were re-elected withoutopposition. They are: Mrs.Sherwood Rice Jr., Archie Mc-Lachlan and Alex Ross.

In the reorganization of theboard Bauer was re-electedpresident. George Jacoby isvice-president and B. A. Calka,treasurer. Mrs. Rice issecretary.

Fires spell death for Decker's boomRelated pictures page G

A sign onthefrontofSchreib-ners' Grocery reads: "Thankyou--call again!" But cus-tomers haven't called for nearlyfive years now.

The old train depot serves asthe office of a fuel company,and the charred ruin of an oldFrutchey Bean Elevator standsas a memorial to an earlierday when Decker, Mich., wasnot listed among the hundredsof small towns across thecountry dying from variouscauses.

Less than a hundred peoplestill live In this community,located east of M-53 on DeckerRd.

Decker Is nearly dead. Butthe citizens of this tiny hamlet,even the newcomers, will tella curious visitor about the dancehall and bowling alley, thegrocery stores and pool hall,the barber shop and bank.

Deckerltes will brag about thebusy bean elevators, and thepassenger trains which madedally trips to Port Huron andBay City.

The days of weekly fights atthe Saturday night dances and

the sound of the train whistleat the local station have givenway to silence.

'JUST 4 CORNERS'"Just four corners here now,"

says Milton Ross. "It's peace-ful. Just a place to live."

Ross was the first stationagent at the Decker depot. Whenthe depot closed, he operatedthe "farmers' elevator."

"They used to line up for acouple of blocks at theelevator," Ross remembers."We did lots of business."

Beatrice V'atter is the Deckerpostmaster. She also recalls thelivelier days in the tiny com-munity. She tells of the weeklyfights at the dance hall, and sheremembers fires.

Talk to any Decker resident,and they will tell you of fires,Scan the abandoned weed-covered lots throughout the townfor blackened building found-ations.

Take another look at what Isleft of the old bean elevatorwhich brought so much busi-ness to the community. It Ischarred also. When the ele-vators burned, the town begana slow but constant declineuntil today, when only a post

office and a tavern remain openIn."downtown Decker."

"I remember the fire in theelevator," Mrs. Vatter says."I stood on the doorstep andwatched it burn."

The Frutchey Bean Co. ele-vator burned, was rebuilt, andburned again, never to be re-built. The farmers' elevator,according to Ross, was laterdestroyed by flames, "about 15years ago."

Ross came to Decker In 1918.After working as station agent,he ran the elevator. Today, helives across the road fromwhere his elevator stood, wherenow stand the only new housesin the community, belonging toKitchener Innes and ClarencePhillips.

Innes sells grain to Decke-rltes and farmers In the sur-rounding area.

"Yep, I've lived here all mylife too," Innes boasts from theseat of his pickup truck.

The two modern ranch-styledwellings stand on the west endof Decker and their presenceconstitutes a misplacement Intime. The other houses in thecommunity are old—very old,and one finds himself asking,

"Why?" when he spots theserecent additions.

"We built our new house aboutthree years ago," says Phillips,who has taken over the old de-pot as an office for his fueloil distribution business."Decker's a good place to live.We like It. It's quiet. Same asliving in the country."

Phillips has been deliveringfuel oil to farms and servicestations in the area for 21 years.Unl ike the grocery and hard-ware stores, the fuel oil busi-ness has held up quite well,according to Phillips.

But, for practical reasons,Phillips Is planning to moveout of the old train depot ---a monument to another era, nowsporting a green "Sinclair"sign.

"We're planning on movingthe office into a house trailer,"Phillips says. "The ol' depotIs In pretty bad shape. Hardto heat In the winter."

Phillips has lived In thecommunity for 19 years, and headmits sadly that the town isdying. And he gives the samecause as most of the otherresidents: "Been a lot of fireshere, a lot of fires,"

THE'BIG STORES'There is a Deckertte who

talked very little about the fires.Russell (Baldy) Baldwin livesabove tne post office now. Heand his wife had come to DeckerIn 1940, bought what was then acombination post office-gro-cery store and retired in 1001.

He has also witnessed thedecline, but he blames the "bigstores."

"The thing that caused Deckerto decline is the same thingthat caused little towns all overthe country to decline," Baldwinsays. "Those big stores withtheir advertising. People havetransportation, and they go tothe chain stores."

"Baldy" also blames thechange in farming for the de-cline of rural communities.

"People are getting betterprices for farm products."Baldwin says. "The farmer gotmore money to go with and hewent."

And so goes life in Decker.The "old-timers" want to talkabout the "old days.* The youngpeople have heard so much aboutthe past that they can carry on apretty fair nostalgic con-

SPORTS FANS!

By H. M. Bulen

Did you know that the famousAmerican food --the "hot dog"

was invented because ofbaseball? . . . A man namedHarry Stevens was in chargeof the concessions at New YorkGiant baseball games in thelast century, and one day it wascool and he wasn't selling muchof the cold food which was allthey had at ball parks in thosedays. . . During the game hewent shopping for somethingwarm he could sell . . . Hebought sausage at a neighbor-hood butcher shop and rolls forthe fans to hold the sausageswith — and the hot dog wasborn. . . However, it was anewspaper cartoonist, Tad Dor-gan, who coined the name "hotdot* . . . He drew a cartoonone day soon after, of a base-ball fan holding a sausage thatlooked like a dachshund en-closed in a bun, and it wasknown as a "hot dog' from thenon.

CATHERINE HORNER

Mr. and Mrs. Audley Homer,Highland, Mich., announced theengagement of their daughter,Catherine, to Patrick Hayes,son of Mr. and Mr.s. ChesterHayes, Owosso.

An August winkling is planned.The couple are students at Cen-tral Michigan University, Mt.Pleasant.

The Homers are former re-sidents of Cass City.

The road to ruin is traveledwhen one lives above his means.

One of the strangest nick-names In sports history belongsto the famous "Home Run' |Baker. . . Most people don'tknow that Baker actually hitvery few homers!. . . The mosthe ever had In one year was12, and he averaged only sevena season in his 13-year career!. . . He got his nickname whenhe helped win two World Seriesgames In 1011 with homeruns. . . The nickname stuckeven though he never hit manybefore or after that.

MRS. MARGARET WEIPPERT

WINS $100

We appear to 1)6 on the vergeof a revolution in men's cloth-ing.

The increasing popularity ofthe tie-less turtleneck shirt forsemi-formal and formal eve-ning wear is just one indicationof the trend. Color is anotherindicator. Brighter hues arebecoming steadily more ap-parent in the raiment of themale.

"Pie recent visible evidenceof such change sent me to aclipping in the fi le which Ihad pri'seived for a coupleof years. At the t ime it hadseemed the voice of unreason;today it takes on the aspectof prophecy.

The speaker was Ron Postal,a Beverly Hil ls men's clothierand designer. Mr. Postal de-clared I'orthrighHy that womenwere to blame for t!u> way mendress. "Out of every dollarspent on men's clothes, HOcentsis spent by women,* he de-claimed. "Men's clothes havechanged less in this centurythan any other artifact ofAmerican society. The reasonis that man is low man on(tie dollar totem |x>le. He'sthe last one money is spenton. Ills wife's clothes and thechildren's clothes come first."

Postal believes that this iswhy nit -lern man looks so plainand wo I on so fancy. He believesthat wo:nen want it that way.Why else the tuxedo, he asks'.'Every man a robot in his blackuniform designed to provide abackground for the female ofthe species who has stolenman's centuries-old finefeathers.

Why do men allow women tochoose their clothes.'

"Conditioning,1 ' said Mr.Postal. •'Tlii' woman buys theclothes for the infant, t bebo \ ,the lover, and the husband.*

But even two years ago Postalthought that the revolution wascomiiii;. "We're about to entera cavalier era. There wi l l bemore color, more adornment,

more decoration. For businesswear, function will dictate.There will be a space suit in-fluence. Jump suits will liecommon. Shirts and jackets willgo, to lie replaced by high-neck tunics reminiscent of thenobility of feudal times."

Postal even had a theory aboutmodern women's clothing con-tributing to her present-dayfreedom. "From primitivetimes women were alwayshobbled," be pointed out. "Theywore bells and jangles so mencould hear them when theystrayed from the tribe. They'vebeen hobbled ever since --skirts, long dresses, petticoats,high heels."

Now, of course, they wearpants and are quite a differentanimal'.'

"Exactly. Woman has greatermobility. She moves differently.She sits differently. She stridesdifferently. She gets out of acar differently."

Indeed. Watching a woman getout of a two-door car used tobe one of the fringe benefits oflife. Now it's hardly worth 'aman's time to stop and look.BH' . ' of those exiting wil l beweariiic slacks or some othertraitorous offshoot ofthebreed.

By the evidence, Ron Postalwas a visionary, a man aheadof his time.

Even if I still can't quitebelieve in jump suits for menfor business wear.

In the edition of the Chroniclefollowing the violent death ofMartin Luther King I foundmyself agreeing with you, in"The Editor's Corner" - indisagreeing with the columnistwith reference to his conclusionabout the leader of non-violenceof his Black Race, (and thepoor).

We are in good company, aswe read the massive testi-monials of the nation and worldthat rated him high-ami amongthe great, as I have no doubtthat history will so rate him.

In the following week's editionthe columnist stated that lettersto h*?r> from various JOWH paperswherein his column appears,70^ agreed with his appraisal(bad opinion.) His percfiitagessclent if iirally did not or does notmean a thing, to any informedperson. He did not state thenumber of letters - whether tenor a hundred. Whatever his totalmay have been it would have-been a minimal percentage -wise of the total of readerseven of just the Chronicle, witha total of subscribers of 3200.

My wife inquired when sheread "The Editor's Corner,"in the first mentioned edition,"Who is Dan Marlowe?"

His 70*7 would not in anyway detract from the lateM.L.K's place in the hall ofthe great in our Nation, alongwith the notable Lincoln. In-deed Mr. King was termed bypersons whose judgement isrespected, as the "Abe Lincolnof this century." His70r; simplymeans that a certain limitednumber of people agreed withhim.

If the columnist wants someone to debate, "If It i-ltz," andI think It does, anothercolumnist in last week's editionhas picked up the cauntlet,tossed down so arrogantly anddogmatically, to debate any"open-minded" reader on theissue. I found myself con-curring with Jim Fitzgerald,

with reference to "One for theRoad's" opinion and whichwe could not but note com-paratively or by contrast thecolumn and appraisal In depthon the issue.

Yours very t ruly ,Mel Vender

WHO OWNS COLLEGES

Some students do not realizeor are unappreciative of thepublic investment in higher ed-ucation. Many seem to feel thatstudent tuition pays the entirecost of operating a state uni-versity. Statistics show that forevery dollar the student pays intuition^ an average ~6TtHree"dollars is contributed frompublic funds.

During the 1967-68 schoolyear, citizens of Michigan paid$204.6 million to help finance15 state-supported schools.Tuition amounted to $79.2million.

****

State support varies betweenschools, but averaged $1,202per student for the school yearjust completed. This re-presented a range of $714 perstudent at Central MichiganUniversity to $1,8\7 at newly-established Saginaw ValleyState College. Although enroll-ment increased over the 1966-67 school year, total stateappropriations declined about$8 million.

Indications are that it willincrease substantially nextyear.

The public owns the state edu-cation institutions. The studentpays part of the cost ofoperation. He receives an edu-cation which permits him toappreciate life more fully andearn a better salary.

NEW DATE

Farmers—Your "Week" ischanged.

Farmers Week, 1969, will beheld March 17-21 on the Michi-gan State University campus.This is six weeks later in theyear than previously. 'Piechange represents the first timein more than f>0 years thatfarmers will not meet early InFebruary for their many meet-ings, demonstrations, dis-plays and fellowship.

Two biggest factors brinpingabout the change art- the weathorand their space needs.

Snow and ice have plaguedthe farmers in recent years.In 19CC most Farmers Weekevents had to be canceled be-cause of the blizzard whichdropped 36 inches of snow afew days before.

MSU enrollment am! studentneeds have made it increasinglydifficult to provide facilities theuniversity would like for thelarge group of farmers. Thecurrent date falls betweenterms at MSU, so the numberof students is reduced sharplyand much more display spaceis available.

In setting the March date,Thomas K. Cowden, Dean of theCollege of Agriculture andNatural Resources, expressedthe hope it will permit moretarmcrs to visit the campusunder more pleasant circum-stances.

CASS CITY CHRONICLEPHONE 8/2-2010

Father Raymond Pilarskisays it is going to be dif-ficult to leave his post as pastorof Wilmot St. Michael andMayville St. Joseph parishes.He will miss the people.

But chances are, the parish-ioners are going to miss Fr.Pilarski even more.

In eight years, the tall, cigar-smoking priest has erased ahuge debt at St. Michael's andbuilt a church in Mayvilre which,according to Fr. Pilarski, isnow completely paid for.

The trouble-shooting clergy-man moved on Wednesdaytonewchallenges at Tawas City's Im-maculate Heart of Mary parish.

"I've become quite attachedto the people and the area,"Fr. Pilarski said. "It is withdeep regrets that I have toleave. But ;i priest must servewhore his bishop thinks he ismost needed."

Two specific needs faced Fr.Pi larski when he arrived inWilmot .

"The goal for St. Michael'swas to pay off the debts -- andwe did," he said. "The goal inthe Mayv i l l e mission was tobuild a church -- and we did."

Plans for a parish socialh a l l at St. Michael 's have beencompleted. Property has beenpurchased, and landscaping liasbeen started.

Fr. Pilarski describes hisparishioners as, ". . .enjoyablefor myself and profitable forthe parish."

He points out that the parishhas grown in numbers and thatthe spiritual growth has keptpace w i t h the times.

Al though this priest has dem-onstrated an ab i l i ty to handlethe financial affairs ol a parish,he prefers people to business.

Fr. Pilarski, who was at St.Stanislaus in Bay City beforecoming to Wilmot , prefers thesmall , country parish.

"I prefer personal contact,"he said. "The city parish isloo businesslike. In a countryparish, so much more t ime canbe [riven to the personal needso! the parishioners.

"Milch closer contact is pos-sible, " lie added. "Con-sequent ly , people are enabledto know the i r priest much moreand t h e y become more involvedin Hie : i c t i v i t i i > s of the parish."

"nc oi the activities wi thwhich Cathol ic churches al lover the world have been oc-cupied is implement ing thechaiii'es in the church's l i tu rgy .: ace«l w i t h the perennial pro-Mem 01 convincing the con-servatives that change is forthe best, i r. Pilarski was verycautious in following directivesol modernization.

He is very satisfied wi th themanner in which his parish-ioners have adapted to the re-u i l u i i o n .

"'HitTe was prac t ica l ly noopposition to the changes," hesaid. "Tin1 changes werebrought about g radua l ly , withan exp lana t ion of each one."

"Not t ha t i t was easy," headded. "Especia l ly for the old-t i m e r s . Mut because of theirgreat l a i t l i , even Ihev have ac-cepted and are part ic ipat ing inthe new l i fe of the church."

! r. P i l a r sk i reflects fondlyM I I his eii'bt years in Wilmot.Mi l l he must move on to Tawas,and he is looking forward tonew experiences.

He has had to manage thea f i a i r s ol churches only whilepastor D| St. Michael and St.•Joseph. I l l s Tawas parishot te rs new responsibilit ies.

The Immacula te Heart of

Mary parish has not only aschool, but also a hospital.

"This will be a nowchallenge," Fr. Pilarski saidof the hospital.

Fr. Eugene Susalla, now ofSaginaw St. Stephen's, has re-placed Fr. Pilarski as pastorof the two parishes. Managingthe affairs of two churches is aformidable task.

But if the new pastor islooking for someone to tell himthat the job isn't all that tough,he won't find that k ind of en-couragement on his pre-decessor's desk.

A small sign reads:"One thing I never have to

worry about around here iscompetit ion -- nobody wouldwant my job."

Don, the happy-go-lucky guywhom everybody loved, was veryactive in school activities andsports since junior high. In hissopliomori- year Don worked onthe school newspaper, was amember of the annual staff, andwas a member of a combo called"Tin1 \Vhat," which won secondplace In the Talent Show. Thisyear, his junior year, Don wasan alternate- representative tothe Student Council and lieeanicM his letter in tootbaii.

Some of Don's friends havc>started a memorial fund, withwhich they plan to make somekind of a memorial for Don onthe athletic field.

l-'uneral services were heldMonday morning at Little's1-uneral Home. Kev. JamesHraid officiated and TomKulcher sang the Lord'sPrayer. Hearing Don's casketwere: Harvey ! rands, TerryHrinknian, Mic Miracle, DaveBliss, Randy Aleksink and I rwlHyan. An esti mated one hundredclassmates and friends at-tended.

The eighth grade class wentto Greenfield Village lastThursday. This trip is an annualthing and has been a traditionfor quite a few years now.

When the class arrives at thevillage, the students divide upinto groups of six or eight, eachgroup with their own chaperone.

Half of the day is spent inthe museum and the other halfis spent in the village.

FROM

LEONARDJosh Billings used to say it's

~ "better to know—nothing -thanto know what ain't so."

Every once in a 'vhile I runacross a new piece of in-formation that destroys somebelief I've held for a long time.

Years ago I read quite amoving story about CharlesMartin Hall's efforts to developa process for securing purealuminum from bauxite ore. Be-cause of this, I always feltguilty about throwing away apiece of aluminum foil. Itseemed to me that after all thealuminum had been consignedto trash dumps, mankind wouldnever be able to recover itagain.

Then I read that a luminum isthe most abundant metal on theface of the earth, ami myanxiety about wasting it took anosedive.

electric current used to be.needed _on_the.. Tuesday. Jjetere.Christmas, according to Eaton,when housewives were doingtheir ironing In preparation forthe holiday.

(Either of these statementswould be something of a tributeto the influence of the Manwhose birth we honor at Christ-mas.)

But now the peak is reachedon the hottest days of earlysummer, when all the air con-ditioning units are turned on.

Last Thursday, June 13th, Igraduation exercises were heldat C.C.H.S. According to JoanMaleck, valedictorian, the gen-eral attitude of the seniorsthat night was "to get their |diploma and RUN!*

This reminds me about ali t t le poem that may have beenwritten by Dorothy Parker:

You're Sure that you areRight?

How Fine and Strong!But were you ever just as

Sure —And Wrong'.'

Years ago in a museum inPittsburgh I read that the peakload for electric powercompanies came on Christmaseve, when all the trees werelit at once.

Then a few days ago I wastalking with Eaton Kelley, ofthe Detroit Edison Company,and he said that was a mis-take. The greatest amount of

So great is the variety ofMichigan foods that Michigancomes closer to setting thefami ly table completely-break-fast, lunch and dinner-than anyother state.

In order to keep theirdynamos from going berserk att imes when a great amount ofcurrent is needed, the electriccompany is going over to a newsystem of controlling the waterheaters in the homes. It usedto he that many homes hadtheir water heaters on a timeclock. Payment of a flat rateprovided for a constant supplyof current, except, I believe,from 5 to 9 p.m.

Under the new system, thetime clock is eliminated, andthe current will be metered bya device that is controlled byradio from headquarters. Itwon't necessarily be turned offfrom 5 to 9. But wheneverthe monitor at the power plantnotices that there is a highdrain on the lines, he can shutoff all the water heaters for afew minutes, to relieve thestrain on the dynamos. Thecustomer won't miss the cur-rent when it's turned off for ashort time, because his tank willbe ful l of hot water already. Thenew system of remote controlwill greatly increase the flexi-bil i ty of our electric service.

We used to think that ageneration was twenty years...t ime enough for the people ofone generation to grow up andstart havinu' children of theirown. 'Hie generation gap wasttie difference in viewpoint be-tween parents and theirchildren.

Now Dr. Ar thur Riewaldpoints out that a generation gapcan oc.-ur wi th in three or fouryears. Such a gap can existbetween a college junior who isagainst the establishment andhis older brother who has beenout in the business world a yearor two, who thinks the establish-ment is just great.

Presumably there's an evengreater gap between grandpar-ents and their grandchildren.So what would it be like be-tween a great - great-grand-mother and her great- greatgrandson" Jeffrey Allen Lingo,born recently in Saginaw, i.sl iving in the same world withhis mother Connie, his grand-father , Gail Gondall, his greatgrandfa ther , John Goodall, andhis i;r eat -great -grand mot her,Mrs. Christina Goodall, of ruralCass City.

Ed Doolittle told the fellerse.t the country store Saturdaynight that the Great Societystarted out by declaring war onpoverty and now poverty wasdeclaring war on the Great So-ciety. He was of the opinionboth sides had better start look-ing for a peace table afore star-vation set in fer everbodv.

Cooper infantdies at hospital

Jeffery Edwin Cooper, 3-day-old son of Mr. and Mrs. MaxCooper, died Wednesday, June12, in Hills and Dales GeneralHospital. The baby was born in

-Hills and Dales orrSunday.Jeffery is survived by his

parents; four brothers, Timo-thy, Joseph, David and Jerry,and his grandparents, Mrs.Nellie Cooper, Kingston,and Mr.and Mrs. Robert Vargo, CassCity.

Services were held at 11 a.m.Thursday in Kingston Ceme-tery. Rev. Wilbur Traver, re-tired Methodist minister of-ficiated. ,

Ed said them pore folks mar-ching on Washington and de-manding money was like tryingto borrow a lifejacket off'n adrowning man. Ed, that ain't nofriend of the Great Society no-how, said ain't no Guvernmenton the face of the earth in allrecorded . history so deep indebt. He reported where he hadsaw Senator Sam Ervin of NorthCarolina said the pore was mar-ching on Washington at a timewhen the Congress was tryingto cut a $186 billion budget andlooking at $222 billion themGuvernment agencies claimedwas necessary fer the fiscalyear.

Ed went on to quote SenatorErvln-where-he - said - they wasalready $25 billion in the newbudget fer pore relief, and hewas of the opinion we had oughtto flgger out where the moneywas coming from afore theystart working on a $3,000 annualincome guaranteed fer ever-body.

Zeke Grubb was agreed withEd, said he could recollect backin 1932 when about 15,000 WorldWar veterans marched on

ULARGEST STOCK IN THE THUMB

Washington, didn't ask fer noplace to sleep, and was beg-ging fer nothing but a job andthe police run 'em off. Now,said Zeke, the pore folks marchon Washington and if they can'tfind no place to sleep they stayat a hotel and send the Guvern-ment me bill. He claimed tningashore was changed in 36 years.

Clem Webster was of the feel-ing that everthing was now sospeeded up a feller couldn't fig-ger if he was leading, gittingled or just plain run over. Hesaid we was gitting drive-in fun-eral homes and hospitals and thetime, was coming when a humanbeing wouldn't need legs. Hesaid we was already hauling kids10 blocks to school and buildingmillion dollar-gimnasiums so1 sthey could exercise their legs.And Clem allowed, we was do-ing it all on the time paymentplan.

Ed said now that the subjecthad got off the pore war andon the time payment plan, aboutthe only thing he had saw inthe papers all week that madeany sense was where this oldlady in England had to build abrick wall behind her propertyto keep her water off a publicstreet. The town built the walland charged her $1|000 but shewas give a payment plan thatcalled fer 7,300 years to pay itoff. A town official explained"we don't want to press elderlypeople on money matters."

Josh Clodhopper closed thesession by saying he was gittingmighty elderly and he shorewould like to see that paymentplan catch on in this country.

Yours truly,Uncle Tim

Behind the CounterPharmacy ServicesThere has been some public

discussion recently about theprice of prescription drugs.While drug costs have risenmuch more slowly than anyother item in the market-place,there have been questions aboutwhy the prices vary from drugstore to drug store.

Many of these commentssuggest that today's drugs arefurnished by some sort of ma-chine, straight from the manu-facturer. Many critics ignorethe fact that a pharmacist andhis services are involved in tnedispensing of drugs.

Dr. Joseph D. McEvilla, pro-ffessor of pharmaceutical eco-nomics at the University ofPittsburgh, recently criticizedone writer on this point. "Indiscussing drug prices, particu-larly about what the patientshould pay for individual doses,the author fails to recognizethat these prices are influencednot only by the cost of theproduct to the pharmacist, butalso by the charge for the phar-macist's professional services."

He points out that the widevariety of services provided bythe druggist must be consideredbefore computing the finalcharge to the customer. "Un-fortunately, some pharmacists— like individuals in otherwalks of life—provide only theminimum services required bylaw. Others provide a myriadof services, some of which arenot perceived by the patient." «

Pharmacists — like othersfwho offer individualized serv- |ice—place varying values ontheir professional function.Also, the drtiR cost to the phar-macist is likely to vary widely.

This is a complicated sub-ject, but no pharmacist todayneed apologize for the cost ofhis valuable role in providingthe community with a vitalhealth service.

According to Dr. John Ferris,Extension Specialist in Agri-cultural Economics, creepinginflation of the late 1950's andearly 1360's has begun takingmore sizeable steps. A 3r

c in-crease was registered on theconsumer price index in both1966 and 1967 compared to 1^to 2^ increase in previousyears. At present consunvprices are running 4rc over ayear ago.

Farmers also are feeling thepressure as the index of pricespaid by farmers Increased to121 in April 19C8 up 41 abovethe year before.

He goes on to say that wheatprices continue at their lowestlevel in a quarter of a centuryand show little sign oilstrengthening. Corn prices have

1 dropped below $1.00 and are notexpected to rise much above the$1.07 to $1.10 loan rate in the1908-69 crop year.

It would appear to me that forfarmers in general and cashcrop farmers in particular thatthis is a gloomy outlook. Ithas often occurred to me thatfarmers are not getting a fairbreak for the excellent job thatthey have done through the yearsin production of food and ftber.Our country today is faced withmany problems including civilrights, riots, rising crime rate,war and many other problemsbut one problem that we arenot faced with and that is ashortage of food. Farmers areto be praised for the tremendousjob that they have done as wellas agriculture in general. Itwould seem that they should bedeserving of a better break whenit comes to returns for theirlabor and capital inputs.

The average farmer in theU. S. can now produce as muchbefore breakfast as he did in afull day 30 years ago. Althoughour work force of farmworkersis only 5^ of the total labor inthis country, each farmersupplies 41 people wlthfoodandfiber. Forty years ago, eachfarmer supplied only 14persons.

For some reason or anotherthe Plant Pest Control Divisionof the U. S. Department of Agri-culture cooperating with en-tomologists at Michigan StateUniversity have selectedElm wood township as the town-ship in Tuscola County where

checks will be made through thesummer months to determinethe presence of the cereal leafbeetle. Trained men willperiodically make a minimumof 100 sweeps through fields ofcrops grown in the townshipuntil sometime during the endof August of this year. Justwhy they selected Elmwoodtownship, I would like to know.I do know that the infestationof the cereal leaf beetle is muchmore pronounced in the south-western area of our county. Ihive observed at least one fieldof oats In Tuscola townshipwhere the infestation of thelarva was heavy enough to sprayfor their control.

While visiting with the menfrom the Plant Pest ControlDivision making the surveysin Elmwood Township, Ilearnedthat on the average they havepicked up about four beetlesper 100 sweeps through variousfields. I asked them how thiswould compare with, forexample, down in the south-western part of Michigan wherethe cereal leaf beetle was firstdiscovered four or five yearsago. They informed me tiiat inthis more heavily infested areaof southwestern Michigan theycould expect to pick up severalthousand per 100 sweeps.

Just what will happen in futureyears with regan! to the build-up of the cereal leaf beetle inTuscola County remains to beseen. However, at this time itdoes appear that the populationis building up and especially soin the more southwestern partof our county.

There is a certain amountof optimism among some ofour entomologists who predictthat research is helping to fiii'.ibetter and more effectivemethods of co.'itrol — (1) usinga systemic treatment on theseed of oats before the crop isplanted. Let's hope that we willeventually have the answers toan effective control program.

Many flock owners assumebloat is a factor, and do notrealize that dead sheep willbloat soon aft'er death.

Dr. Clifford C. Beck, ex-tension veterinarian at MSU,says sheep should be wormedthree to five days before theyare turned out to pasture. Like-wise, the flock should have ac-cess to phenothiozine and tracemineral salt fed free choiceall summer and fall from acovered salt box.

He says the economic lossto Michigan sheep flock ownersfrom parasitism is heavy andcan be eliminated by propercontrol methods.

"If It Fife..."Where do the nuts get the guns?

BY JIM FITZGERALD

She carried a nosegay of whitedaisies and ivy, tied with satingarlands.

Dressed in empire sheaths ofyellow chiffon over taffeta werethe maid of honor, Jane Watkinof Battle Creek, and brides-maids, Mary Underhill ofMarshall, Mary Capron ofVictor, N.Y., and Peg Mackinof Manistee. Their gowns werestyled with lace bodices outlinedat the empire waist with a satinnile-green ribbon adorned withyellow and white daisies, andfeatured streamers at the back.They carried semi-cascades ofwhite daisies centered withyellow daisies and mingled withivy and an avocado ribbon. Lisaand KimStevenson, nieces of thebride, wore gowns identical tothe bridesmaids and carriedbaskets of yellow daisies withavocado ribbons, as they tooktheir place as flower girls inthe procession.

The bridegroom, son of Mr.and Mrs. Grant Hutchinson ofCass City, asked J. StephenSmith, a classmate at MichiganState University, to serve asbest man. In the usher corpswere Phillip A. Randall, brotherof the bride, James Hutchinson,brother of the bridegroom, andEdward Knight, classmate ofthe bridegroom.

The new Mrs. Hutchinsonwore a navy blue dress withred and white trim for thewedding trip. After June 23rdthe couple will reside at 2529Gabel Road in Saginaw.

Benkelman ritesheld Friday

Joseph Benkelman, lifelongresident cf this area, died Tues-day, June 11, at Hills and DalesGeneral Hospital. Mr. Denkel-man, a retired farmer, was 78.

He had been a patient at Hillsand Dales for one day.

Mr. Benkelman was born Oct.5, 1889 in Elkland Township. Heand Miss Esther Ackermanwere married June 10,1911 inCass City.

Surviving are his widow and abrother, Ward, of Cass City.

Services were conducted at2 p.m. Friday by Rev. Ira Wood,pastor of Salem United Metho-dist Church, and Rev. StanleyP. Kirn, retired pastor. Burialwas in Elkland Cemetery.

My son was surprised to seeme glued to the TV set soearly in the morning. I told himSenator Kennedy had been shot.He asked me why anybody wouldwant to do that.v

Now there is a question. Howdo you explain such terrifyingviolence to a 10-year-old child?

"The man who did it has gotto be a nut," I said.

"Like the guys who shotMartin Luther King and Pre-sident Kennedy?" Eddie asked.

"Yes", I said."Gee", he wondered,^where

do the nuts always get the guns?"Now there is another

question.Ironically, Bobby Kennedy

was one of those who havebeen fighting for stiffer gunlegislation. And he had beengetting nowhere, the certaindestination of anyone opposingthe powerful National Rifle As-sociation (NRA). The NRAspeaks loudly for millions ofcitizens who are scared sillysomeone is trying i.o stop themfrom shooting a deer or a duck.

For years, a few congress-men have tried to pass lawslimiting the sale of firearmsby mail. No luck. The NRAlobby has continually turnedscrews and most congressmenhave wilted under the pressure.They are afraid to offend JoeDeerslayer back home. JoeChicken Congressman doesn'twant to get shot down at thepolls. He might have to go towork for a living.

The NRA reasoning is soridiculous it would be laughable- if it weren't for all the blood.The rifle men guard their gunsbehind the U.S. Constitution -and behind the brilliant theorythat a bandaid will cause death.

All sensible men want to dois tighten restrictions so notevery nut can buy a gun simplyby mailing a postcard or drivingto Toledo. But the NRA sayssuch laws would violate yourconstitutional rights and wouldquickly lead to more laws whichwould forbid all citizens to ownany guns under any cir-cumstances.

Another favorite NRA argu-ment is that a killer will kill,gun or no gun. He'll use an axeor a club or his fists.

Phooey.The constitution was written

when Americans were busytaking this land from theIndians. A citizen needed a gunto protect his scalp. There wasno elaborate military-policeorganization to do the job forhim. It was important toguarantee that every citizenhave the right to bear arms.This is no longer important;it is, in fact, dangerous. Thiscountry today is obviouslycrowded with jerks whoshouldn't be allowed within 100yards of a gun.

As for the hole-in-the-diketheory, double phooey. The gunmen continually claim that alaw placing slight limits on thesale of firearms must event-

ually lead to a total ban against,all guns in all homes. And thenwho will shoot all thoseferocious animals?

This is obvious nonsense.Laws against jaywalking haven'tknocked the nation off its feet.Laws against speeding haven'tcurbed cars. And, God help us,laws against murder haven'tstopped wars. The NRA, in itsperplexing stupidity, is shootinga mouse with a cannon.

Which brings us to tne lastsilly argument- a killer willuse another weapon if he can't

"get'TgunTFor one thing, this theory

ignores the unique deadliness ofa gun in the hands of an assassin.Could Harvey Oswald havemurdered John Kennedy with abow and arrow? Could that othernut have gotten close enough toBobby Kennedy to do as muchdamage with a club or a knife?Not likely. These men weresurrounded by guards andfriends. Only a gun could piercetheir fnrts of flesh.

And how many times haveyou read about domestic argu-ments which ended in deathsbecause an angry, maybe drunkhusband "went into the bedroomand returned with a pistol?"You might outrun a knife or afist. A bullet is something else.

How many kids are killedeach year while playing withDaddy's gun? Stupid Daddydidn't know it was loaded; or hedidn't know Junior could reachthe top shelf.

I could cite dozens more ex-amples illustrating why noteveryone should own a gun. Butit wouldn't influence the mightyNRA. The rifle men will keeppaying lobbyists fat fees topressure lawmakers. They'llkeep flooding editors and gunclubs with specious propaganda.And, like it or not - I hopeyou're ready for this - you willcontinue to pay part of the NRAbills.

That's right. The NRA is sub-

-I

sidized by taxpayers. Itreceives over $2 million a yearfrom the Defense Dept. It's ..supposed to use the money toteach target practice- but, too;.-often the lobbyists are shootingand congressmen are thetargets. The NRA also gets freeuse of Camp Perry, Ohio each , 'summer for shooting matches.Last summer, a Cleveland con- -1gr ess man wanted to use Camp '.Perry as a summer camp for5,000 imrternrivileged bovs. He ,was turned down because theNRA had tc^ shoot. _ _ ."Naturally, rifle practice is

more important than poor kidsgetting some fresh air. That'ssomething else I'd hate toexplain to a 10-year-old boy.

As I write these words, it isnot known where BobbyKennedy's assailant got his gun.It may be he is a retired copwith a permit to carry nuclearweapons. This would not sub-tract a speck from the validity ,of the argument that the sale *of guns should be better con- •trolled.

And the National Rifle As-sociation should be put in itsproper place- about on par withthe United State Lawn TennisAssociation.

Agent's CornerBy Mrs. Ann Ross

Which size egg gives you themost for your money?

Generally speaking, if then*is less than a 7 or 8 centprice spread between sizes,then you're better off buyingthe larger size. You'll actuallybe getting more poundage of eggfor your money. Of course, thispricing has to be all in thesame grade of eggs and basedon a dozen eggs.

The reason it figures out thisway is that sizing of eggs Into"extra large", "large" and"medium" is based on weight.Minimum weight per dozen forthe extra large size is 27ounces; for large, 2-1 ouncesand for medium 21 ounces.

So, if extra large eggs, forexample, were priced at 43cents per dozen and large epgswere marked 40 cents perdozen, you'd he better off buyingthe extra large eggs. The spreadIs less than 7 or 8 cents whichis the guide mentioned. And ifyou figure it out on the weightbasis you'd be paying slightlyless per ounce of egg In buyingthe larger size.

Eggs give you high qualityprotein at a reasonable pricewhen you compare it to othercomparable protein foods, suchas meat.

Compared nutri t ionally withthe lean meat of a pork chopwhich weighs about the same asan egg, the egg has a muchlighter calorie load. Also inIts favor, the egg contains aboutfour times as much calcium andmuch more vi tamin A.
