Farmland values set to skyrocketAgricultural land values in
the Cass City area are des-tined to rise from 44 to 83 percent, according to a reportfiled last week with theTuscola County Board ofCommissioners.
The report represents in-creases in values over thepast two years based on salesin the region.
Hardest hit of area town-ships was Ellington, wherefarmland values will rise 83per cent. The increase isslightly less than a predicted
93 per cent earlier in the yearby township Supervisor FredBardwell.
The average selling price ofland per acre in the townshipranges between $625 and $750.The value applies to unirr\-proved land, excluding build-ings or tiling.
In Elkland township, farm-land values are destined torise 52 per cent. Average peracre price is $750, accordingto the study.
In Elmwood township, un-improved farmland values
skyrocketed 78 per cent. Peracre prices range from $750 toa high of $1,200 in the north-west quarter of the township.
In Novesta township, farm-land values will rise 61 percent where per acre valuesrange from $625 to $700.
Kingston township farm-land escaped with only a 44per cent increase carrying avalue of $625 an acre.
In spite of the hefty in-creases, so far there's beenlittle indication of a "revolt"similar to the one that erupt-
ed last year over increases inresidential land valuesthroughout the county.
At that time, supervisorsthreatened not to spread theadded value and complainedof lower values in Huron andSanilac counties for simitartypes of land.
Since then, land valuestudies have reportedly beenperformed in both Huron andSanilac counties. Whether ornot this will satisfy Tuscolasupervisors is in doubt.
But according to Cmmr.
Maynard McConkey, if super-visors don't spread the addi-tional value, the state holdsthe threat of applying a factordo all property, includingresidential.
A factor is a flat rateincrease imposed withoutregard to the property classi-fication.
Last year, five Tuscolacounty townships went thefactor route.
"It's a decision of thesupervisor whether or not hewants to spread it," McCon-
key said.Supervisor Edwin Karr
said the increase will bespread in Elkland township.If it weren't, he said, allproperty owners would sufferunder a factor.
"We have 27.8 per cent ofour land in agriculture and 51per cent in residential withthe rest commercial and in-dustrial," Karr said. "To gowith a factor would hit resi-dential property unfairly."
Karr said five townships,Fremont, Watertown, Day-
ton, Indianfields and Arbela,didn't spread added valueslast year and chose a factorinstead.
Ellington township Super-visor Fred Bardwell said heplans to spread added agri-cultural values. With an 83per cent increase, he says histownship's total tax bill willjump from $5,417,000 toaround $9 mill ion.
"It's going to hit the peopleon the poorer land harderthan the ones on the good land
because the poor stuff isselling now for almost asmuch as what we call goodfarmland," Bardwell said.
Bardwell says he expects aflood of complaints at Boardof Review time in March, butthere's really l i t t le the town-ship can do.
"You can only take afactor two years in a row andthen you have to add thevalue," he says. "The state'sgoing to get what's theirssooner or later."

Christmas turns to tragedy
Kingston youth dies ingrinding pre-holiday crash
THE SHATTERED interior of this auto bears mutetestimony to the force of a Thursday afternoon crash thatkilled Patrick G. Wolak, 12, of rural Kingston. His sister,Susan, 20, driver of the auto, was listed in fair condition at St.Mary's Hospital in Saginaw, Monday.
What might have been ajoyous Christmas, for the JohnWolak family of rural King-ston turned into tragedyThursday, Dec. 23, when their12-year-old son, Patrick, waskilled when the car in whichhe was riding slammed into asnow plow on M-81, four milesnortheast of Caro.

Commissioners okaytransportation study
Tuscola County Commis-sioners voted to join in a studyof area transportation needswith Huron and Sanilac coun-ties during their regularmeeting in Caro Tuesday,Dec. 21.
The resolution authorizingparticipation in the StateHighway Department-spon-sored study passed by anarrow 4-3 vote, with com-missioners Kenneth Kennedy,Richard Dehmel and J. Ben-son Collon casting "no" votes.
Basically, the three object-ed to the study because theyviewed it as another versionof Dial-A-Ride which they'veturned down in the past. Theysaid even though the study isentirely state financed, itappeared to be the start ofanother program for whichthe county would have to findmoney when state cofferswent dry.
Supporting the measurewere Commissioners May-nard McConkey, Paul Nagy,Charles Woodcock and Mar-garet Wenta. They said itwould be wise to make thestudy with an eye to trans-portation needs five or 10years from now.
With projections of gasolineselling for as much as a dollara gallon by 1980, McConkeysaid making a study wouldn'thurt.
"Admittedly, doing some-thing like this on a three-county basis isn't always themost satisfactory way to go,"he said. "But I think it wouldbe good to look at it."
The study had earlier beenrecommended by the countyaffairs committee.
In other business, the boardgave its stamp of approval tosalary increases for countyelected and appointed offi-cials. The only change camewith a $300 increase in thesalary of incoming DrainCommissioner J. EdwardGoodchild. His salary was setat $14,300.
The salaries are expected
to be frozen for the next twoyears.
In other business, the boardagreed to spend $2,723 for anew Ford pickup truck. Thevehicle, destined for use bythe Animal Control Depart-ment, will be purchased fromBurton-Moore Ford in Caro.
A bid from Wilsie-SimpsonChevrolet of Caro, just $2
higher, was rejected.Spike Johnson, Director of
the county's Substance Mis-use Center, told commission-ers he needs more officespace to counsel alcoholicsand drug offenders.
Johnson was instructed todiscuss his needs with thebuilding and grounds com-mittee.
Still in district
Judge rules in favor of
Owen-Gage tax plea~ JL
The confusion over thespreading of taxes on threeparcels of land in the Owen-Gage School District wasresolved Monday in InghamCounty Circuit Court.
Judge Thomas L. Brown,acting for Judge James T.Kallman, ordered taxes in theBelk, Voelker and Parkerparcels, located in Grant andBrookfield townships, be paidto Owen-Gage.
The action came afterschool attorney James Schou-man petitioned for a show-cause hearing involvingHuron Intermediate Supt. F.James McBride and a tem-porary restraining order pro-hibiting payment of taxes tothe Laker and Cass CitySchool Districts.
The three owners have beenpetitioning to transfer theirland to Lakers and Cass City,
Schouman argued that theland should still be consideredpart of Owen-Gage.
Schouman told the Chron-icle he based his argumenton Judge Kallman's ruling ofSept. 7 which placed theparcels back in Owen-Gageafter they had been orderedtransferred by the StateBoard of Education.
Those parcels are part ofOwen-Gage until their futureis decided by the State Courtof Appeals, Schouman said.
The attorney said McBrideoperated under a portion ofthe law stating taxes shouldbe assigned as of Sept. l.Monday's ruling clarified the
earlier order stating the par-cels were definitely part ofOwen-Gage.
Schouman charged Mc-Bride ignored the Sept. 7order by allowing taxes to goto Lakers and Cass City.
The order enjoins McBridefrom assigning taxes on be-half of any other schooldistrict during the 1976-77school year.
Owen-Gage Supt. RonaldErickson and several schoolboard members attendedMonday's hearing.

"If It Fitz..."Recall that galosh
BY JIM FITZGERALD
While broadcasting theWorld Series, Reggie Jacksonreminded me of some otherkid's galosh.
You probably find that hardto understand. If you aredisgustingly young, youmight even know what agalosh is.
A galosh is a high overshoe.Reggie Jackson is a million-aire baseball player. And thiscolumn is about remember-ing.
How good is your memory?Jackson said he had hit 280home runs in his majorleague career and he remem-bered every one of them. Heremembered who the pitcherswere and what kind of a pitchhe slammed out of the park.
I find that hard to believe.Jackson said it was easy for
him to remember every detailof every home run becausehome runs are his bread andbutter. But I figure I'vewritten about 2,400 news-paper columns. They are mybread and butter. And it ishard to remember what Iwrote yesterday. Last year isimpossible.
A voice from the bleachersmight yell that I can't re-member because I've neverwritten any home runs. Jack-son probably can't rememberhis singles, either.
There are always a lot ofmouthy jerks in the bleach-ers.
But I suppose Jacksoncould be telling the t ruth. I'veread about people who swear
Failure is no excuse toquit—the future always re-mains.

THEY CAN
they can remember cominghome from the hospital afterthey were born. Some guysclaim they remember how itwas in the womb.
For me, Life began at theage of five as I was walkinghome from Jefferson Schoolwith some other kid's galoshon one foot.
That is my earliest mem-ory. All that occurred beforethat day is a blank, and thereare countless gaps in theyears since then. But I'venever forgotten the recklessabandon with which I got mudon that strange galosh. Ihopped through every puddle.
Jefferson School was torndown several years ago. Itwas in Port Huron. That town,as I.remember it, is crumbl-ing in the face of drattedprogress.
I delivered mail in PortHuron and, so help me, theyhave leveled my entire route.The same fate flattened mostof my newspaper route.
Urban Renewal, that brutalbulldozer of boyhood mem-ories, has replaced dozens ofworn but warm homes with afew cold office buildings. Iwonder where all the peoplewent and if they are gettingtheir mail and newpapers allright.
I will soon run out of placesto drive by and point at andbore my kids talking about.
Some of the poolrooms arestill there, but they look likedime stores. They even smellgood, for gosh sakes, and Idon't like them anymore.
I can hardly find a barten-der who knows me or knowsanyone I knew - not even themost famous lushes. Andwhen I tell them, ha-ha, I paidfor this bar, they just shrugand pour a drink for some14-year-old kid who is prob-ably 25.
I attended Jefferson foronly one year-kindergarten.Two things, besides the wronggalosh, I remember most.
One is what I had to wear.Short pants and long, lumpystockings held up by a garterbelt. Anyone remember?
If my wise-guy son readsthat his dad used to wear agarter belt he will fall downlaughing and say I am kid-
ding. But I can close my eyesand see again my long under-wear bulking out between thetops of my stocking and thebottom of my pants.
The other thing I remembermost is our kindergartenband. I played the waterwhistle. Is there such a thingas a water whistle today? Idon't think so.
My whistle was shaped likea bird and you filled it withwater and then blew throughthe tail. A shrill, gurgly noisecame out the beak. I havealways thought that Law-rence Welk must have played
, a water whistle in school.Our band had a recital for
parents, of course. My dadcomplained for years after.He swore that I blew and blewbut no noise came out. He wasright. I was nervous that dayand forgot to put water in thewhistle.
When you are five years oldthis is a terrible thing. But itmakes a lovely memory.
When you write a columnlike this, you can write aboutyesterday, today or torrior-row. When I write abouttoday, I am usually angryabout something. For tomor-row, I and hopeful, but leery.
Yesterdays are the best.The memories make mesmile, and sometimes hoot,and sometimes my eyes getdamp.
And almost always I goback to that first day, hoppingthrough the puddles, and Iwish I could remember if thatother kid ever got his galoshback.

New ideasInnovative engineering sendsWalbro to top of field
In the last 25 years, becauseof the innovative and techno-logically advanced thinkingof Walbro Carburetor Divi-sion engineers, Walbro Corp.has become the small enginecarburetor capital of theworld.
Hugh Lautner, director ofthe Carburetor Division'sengineering and researchcenter, and Dick Charmley,new chief engineer, reviewedsome of the new carburetorideas now in final stages ofdevelopment or in earlystages of production.
The first carburetion ideamentioned was a new down-draft carburetor that hadbeen, Lautner said, designedwith the cooperation of theengineering staff of OnanCorporation, subsidiary ofStudebaker-Worthington.
He described it as a com-pact, space-saving unit thatmeets the cramped spacerequirements of motor homegenerators and utility enginesin lawn and garden equip-ment. Though small outside,the new Walbro Down-DraftCarburetor is capable of highoutput capacities that meetthe fuel delivery require-ments of a broad variety oftwin engines, ranging from 18hp to 25 hp.
Chief Engineer Charmleysaid that Walbro had recentlyput two new outboard enginecarburetors into production,one a big-capacity, two-barrelunit .
He said that Walbro alsohas in development new car-buretor designs for motor-cycles, snowmobiles, andother recreational vehicles.
Both Lautner and Charm-ley spoke of the new WalbroWS Series as a highly signifi-cant advance in carburetiontechnology—developed speci-fically for today's increasing-ly high-powered professionalchain saws.
"In designing it," they said,"-we increased its pumping

"Two other unique featuresmake our WS Carburetorvery easy to service. Thenozzle check valve assemblyis designed so the woodcutteror serviceman can remove itwith his fingers. The fuelpump cover is held in placewith a single screw."
Lautner also said the Wal-

EFROM THE
ditor's CornerLike the gal in the TV wine
commercial, "Just say I'mskeptical".
Isn't that a sorry way tostart the new year? But Ican't help it. When I read thatlabor is cool to the latestcabinet choices of President-elect Jimmy Carter, I'mskeptical.
It may be so. But, sinceWatergate I ask myself: Islabor really that cool towardthe cabinet or is it anotherrip-off?
How do I know that itwasn't an elaborate publicrelations ploy, I tell myself.Perhaps big labor realizedthat there was no way ofgetting the men they announ-ced as preferred candidatesinto the cabinet.
Maybe they would havebeen satisfied all along withthe eventual choices of thepresident. But, by pushing forone candidate and then haveanother placed in office theadministration can't be ac-cused of domination by biglabor.
Perhaps this isn't the caseat all. But, as I said, I'mskeptical.
What's more, millions ofother Americans are just likeme.
That's the legacy of Water-gate and all of the otherrip-offs, Republican andDemocrat, that are reportedin the nation's press withmonotonous regularity.
Don't accuse me of beinganti-labor. I'll readily con-cede that I'm just as skepticalabout big business in itsrelations with government asI am big labor.
When General Motors saysit can't meet emission stan-dards set for 1978,1 believe it.
What I'm very skeptical
about is whether they couldn'thave met them if they wantedto.
After all, in less than twoyears they completely rede-signed their cars to meetprojected consumer demandscreated by the energy short-age.
That brings up anotherskepticism. This whole ener-gy business. If there is .ashortage why does this nationincrease its consumptionrather than curb it?
And, if there is a shortage,why was our stockpile so highthat it was reported that weno longer had a place to storethe oil pouring into the coun-try?
I'm sure that th6 powers incharge can come up with agood, plausible answer. What-ever it is I'm sure it wouldleave me (you guessed it)skeptical.
I'm also a li t t le skepticalwhen I see those stories abouthow we are so much better offin real dollars than we werefive, 10 or 20 years ago.
Stories like this tell whatthe current wage earner canbuy with an hour's work todayas compared to yesterday. Inever saw one that measuredwhat the workers' savingswould buy today as comparedto what it purchased when itwas squirreled away for arainy day or the share thattaxes, hidden or otherwise,chop off the total.
All of this makes a gloomycolumn to start the new yeardoesn't it?
Cheer up. We may not fareso well when comparing our-selves with ourselves. But,when you compare us withothers it's no contest.
We've got it made. Aboutthat I have no skepticism atall.

Melva prefers "Michiganian" to "Michigander". I'vealways said "Michigander", but she preferred "Michigan-ian". I immediately changed since I long ago learned thatsiding with her makes me look good.
Now a 500-person survey reveals that 90 per cent like"Michigander" while only seven per cent favor "Michigan-ian".

KETCHUM'S KNAPSACK
Sleep witha gas mask
By Ji'm Ketchum
You can sleep well tonightbecause the U.S. Army isprotecting you from the RedMenace and the Yellow Peril.Now all we need is someone toprotect us from the U.S.Army.1
If you can believe recentreports, the Army conductedgerm warfare tests for atleast 45 years beginning in1950. And since no othercountry would cooperate, thePentagon brass decided touse America as its testingground and its citizens asguinea pigs.
Which only shows how un-grateful the rest of the worldreally is. I mean, weren't wepouring billions into the Mar-shall Plan to rebuild Europe?And with all those countrieslying prostrate anyway, theleast they could have donewas donate Austria or Den-mark for the tests.
In those days, the TopBrass might have even set-tled for Luxembourg, provi-ding they could f ind ' i t .
And if Europe wouldn'tcooperate, we had Africa andall of Latin America to callon. For a few gringo dollars,they'd have done anything forus. (Isn't foreign policy won-derful?)
With no cooperating allies,the least we could have donewas try dropping germs onNorth Korea, China or OuterMongolia. Since we have dip-lomatic relations with theSoviet Union, they'd probablyhave said no .anyway.
Lacking that kind of crea-tivity, the Army chose insteadto turn their pesky littlegerms loose on such diverse

population centers as NewYork City, San Diego andMechanicsburg, Pa.
No doubt, they reasonedNew Yorkers will put up withanything. And since nobodyever heard of Mechanicsburg,no one would miss it. And if.'something went wrong inSan Diego, they could blameit on the Navy or the Marines.
One of the real creativeaspects of the tests includeddropping a germ-filled lightbulb from a subway train inNew York. After all, lightbulbs fall off subways almostas often as people do in NewYork.
With half the waking popu-lation of the city on thesubway at any given moment,what better place to spreadpneumonia and SlobbovianJungle Rot.
Which is what happened. Atanother sight, they droppedgerms from airplanes to in-vade cities. Think of howmuch trouble the Army engi-neers must have had tyinglittle parachutes to eachgerm.
Nowhere is it recorded thatthe germs shouted "Gero-nimo" as they were pushedout of the tail section of aC-130. It must have been cuteto watch zillions of little olivedrab uniforms darkening theskies of Mechanicsburg. Theywere probably mistaken forcoal dust or other air pollutionand ignored.
The Army says it's throughwith germ warfare experi-ments for now. The generalssay they'll be nice boys andpromise not to bombard anymore Americans with germsif the defense budget isn 't cut.
Give us more money tospend on weapons and wepromise not to fool aroundwith germs. Besides, tailorscharge triple overtime to sewthose little uniforms andparachutes. And did you evertry engraving dog tags for astreptococcus?
One car company uses theslogan "When better cars arebuilt, we'll build them". TheArmy's version must be"When better screwball ideasare thought up, we'll testthem out".
So sleep with a gas masktonight. Your Army is awake.
Colwood Lottery Club members setsights on possible million dollar prize
Five area persons who de-cided to purchase a fewlottery tickets as a lark couldend up splitting as much as$l,893,000-if their luck holds.
But Mrs. Ruth Batts, Mrs.Reva Dillon, Doug DeRocco,Cy Pitcher and Irvin Pogelhaven't started spendingtheir winnings yet. They haveformed the Colwood LotteryClub, not because theywanted to as much as theywere forced into it.
According to DeRocco,owner of the Colwood Bar, itall started one night aroundthe first of November.
"The five of us were sittinghere and I had a few ticketsleft for that week," DeRoccorecalled. "So we all decidedto go in on them. It cost us $6apiece and as it turned out,we won $15 plus the $50 on thefinalist ticket."
That finalist ticket is whatreally got the club rolling. Itautomatically put the groupinto contention for the Dec. 30drawing where 10 finalistswill be chosen for the granddrawing in January.
DeRocco found out when hewent to register the ticketthat it couldn't bear the fivesignatures. Contest rules per-
Police probe
tool theftThe reported theft of a
chain saw and hand toolsfrom the Vincent Klebba resi-dence at 4220 S. Seeger St.,marred an otherwise quietpolice week in the Cass Cityarea.
Klebba told Cass City Po-lice an 18-inch chain saw anda quantity of wrenches weretaken from his garage sometime between Dec. 19 andSunday. Value was set at $240.
Klebba also reported a setof tractor chains and ladderjacks were taken from abarn he rents on MilliganRoad, north of Cass City.Value was set at $135. A pairof boat oars were also dam-aged during the theft.
No suspects have been ar-
rested.Caro State Police investi-
gated a shotgun blast whichbroke a window and did about$30 damage at the Girl Scoutcamp on Shabbona Rd., 4Vamiles northwest of Deford.
The police report indicatedthe damage took place some-time after Dec. 5. No suspectshave been arrested.
A warrant was being soughtby Cass City Police against aSnover woman apprehendedafter she allegedly tried shop-lifting merchandise from theBen Franklin Store Thursday,
Police Chief Gene Wilsonsaid the woman used a boxdesigned to conceal the stolenitems. He said the offense isbeing viewed as a felony.
Tryon sues
WKYO ownerA $350,000 lawsuit has been
filed against Tuscola Broad-casting Co. and owner RobertF. Benkelman in TuscolaCounty Circuit Court.
The suit, filed by Glenn A.Tryon, former general mana-ger of the company's radiostation WKYO in Caro, seeks$175,000 for each of twocounts.
Tryon claims Benkelmanviolated terms of a contractwhich reportedly gave Tryonan option to purchase 24.5 percent of the company's stock.The suit claims Tryon wasfired last June 4 without 90days notice as prescribed inthe contract and that Benkel-man gave him no authority inthe station's operation.
Tryon's suit charges hecontributed "substantialsums" toward the stock pur-chase which was refused byBenkelman.
Tryon claims he conceivedthe idea for WKYO-FM, butthat once the new station wason the air, Benkelman re-fused to allow him to partici-pate in its business operation.He had worked for WKYOsince February, 1972.
The suit was filed Dec. 23.An answer to the suit had notbeen filed at press time.

A Caro couple were dis-covered dead in their camperlate Friday night as it satparked in a rest area alongInterstate 75, three milessouth of Florence, Ky.
Authorities believe CliftonHiser and his wife, Margaret,both 50, of 1690 E. DeckervilleRd., may have died of carbonmonoxide poisoning.
The bodies were found aftera Kentucky State Police offi-cer failed to find signs of lifein the camper around 11:30p.m. Friday. He reportedlybroke into the camper andfound the pair lying dead intheir beds.
A medical examiner saidthe Hisers had been deadsince Wednesday.
There was no heat insidethe structure when they werefound. Police speculated aheater used to ward off thechill of 30 mile-an-hour windsmay have led to the couple'sdeath.
The Hisers reportedly leftCaro Dec. 22 and were en-route to Florida at the time oftheir deaths. Caro State Po-lice assisted in the investiga-tion.
Survivors include one son.

mil only one signature,"That's when we decided to
form the club," Mrs. Battssaid. Mrs. Batts is an em-ployee at the bar. She wasworking the night the groupdecided to form the club.
That involved signing aform and having it notarizedand then registering it- withthe County Clerk's Office. Ittook three weeks to round upall the club members sincedeer hunting season was wellunderway at that time.
Since officially becoming a-club, the five haven't boughtany more lottery tickets as agroup. They're waiting to seehow they do in the finalists'drawing.
"If we win in the Dec. 30drawing, we automaticallywin $10,000," DeRocco said.
Some of the club membersadmit they've thought aboutwhat they'd do with $378,600,or one-fifth of the grand prize.
"I'd probably pay off all mybills," Mrs. Dillon said. "Ithink I'd also put most of it inthe bank for an education. Ithink I'd quit my job and go tocollege to become a nurse.It's something I alwayswanted to do but I never couldafford it."
DeRocco says simply "I'dspend it on anything thatcame to mind."
Mrs. Batts says she'd useher share to help financecollege educations for herchildren.
The club members playedthe lottery before joiningtogether as a group. Mrs.Dillon says she spends from$3 to $5 each week on tickets.She figures she's won about$300 since the lottery began in1972.
"I'm a gambler," she says."When I play cards, I like toplay for money. I figure it thisway. If you don't buy thetickets, you don't have anychance to win.
"I really don't miss what Ispend on tickets because I'dprobably spend it someplaceelse anyway," she says.
Mrs. Batts says she buystwo or three tickets a week. Inthe past, she's won $25.
DeRocco buys $2 or $3worth of tickets each week-
depending on how many areleft over from sales at his bar.This is the first time he's everbeen in contention for any bigmoney.
Since the club is registeredfor three years, members saythey'll start buying on a
regular basis after the nextinstant winner game is intro-duced early next year.
DeRocco says the numberof lottery ticket buyers at hisbar has dropped off duringthe latest games, partiallydue to the lack of big winners
in the area.But he says sales of all
tickets have begun to pick upas more prizes are beinggiven away.
"If we win big, we'll putColwood on the map," hesays.
THESE MEMBERS of the Colwood Lottery Club have a lotto smile about. They own a finalist ticket which could propelthem into contention for over a million dollars in prize moneyShown are Mrs. Ruth Batts (left) and Mrs. Reva Dillon.Standing is Doug DeRocco. Absent were Cy Pitcher and Ir-vin Pogel.

wish for 19771976 has come and gone,
leaving in its wake an elec-tion, higher prices, highertaxes, the nation's Bicenten-nial and much more. If youhad one wish for 1977, whatwould it be?
Clyde Wells of 6632 M St.,Cass City, says his wish is asimple one.
"I would wish that peoplewould realize there's a Godwho takes care of us all eachday," he says. "If they didthat, I think we would havefar fewer problems to face."
Wells says outside of at-tending a worship service onNew Year's Eve,Dec. 31 isgenerally a quiet night in hisfamily's home.
"We all try to be togetherthat night," he says. "I don'tthink New Year's Eve itselfholds any particular signifi-cance for us other than thefact it marks the end of theyear. We gave up makingresolutions years ago becauseall we did was break them
anyway." _Rather" than""put ting "more
significance on Dec. 31, Wellssays he tries to live each dayas it comes.
Wells has lived in Cass Citysince 1955 when he joinedWalbro Corp. He and his wifehave four children.

Bicentennial, hospital drivehighlight top 10 area stories
A three-day bicentennialcelebration, the completion ofa new municipal swimmingpool in Cass City and thecontinued unsettled state ofrail service into the Thumball contributed to area newsin 1976.
The continued strugglewithin the Owen-Gage SchoolDistrict kept the embattledsystem on the front pages ofnot only the Chronicle but asfar away as Detroit andLansing.
Local, state and nationalelections and a massive driveto raise a half-million dollarsfor Hills and Dales GeneralHospital also made news.
Here, then, is a summary ofthe top 10 area stories asviewed through the pages ofthe Chronicle, not necessarilyin their order of importance:
HOSPITAL DRIVE
Trustees at Hills and DalesGeneral Hospital announcedthe start of a campaign toraise $500,000 to modernizethe facil i ty and construct anoutpatient clinic in October.
Hospital authorities actedin the face of state regulationswhich mandated, amongother things, renovations inthe sprinkling and air hand-ling systems in the portion ofthe building built in 1960.
The clinic is planned to takepressure off the hospital'sexisting emergency roomwhich presently doubles as anoutpatient treatment center.
At year's end, the drivestood at nearly $425,000. Thehospital board authorized thecampaign be carried intoJanuary in order to reach thegoal.
Hospital employees raisednearly $70,000 in gifts andpledges among themselves.Fund raisers were confidentthe goal would be reached as1977 dawned.
POOL COMPLETION
After four dry summers,Cass Cityans were once moresplashing in a village munici-pal swimming pool in lateJune. Construction on the$200,000-plus complex wascompleted after a series 01'contractor delays which de-layed its use three weeks.
Much of the funding for thepool came from a bequest bythe late Helen Stevens. TheZonta Club organized a suc-cessful drive to raise $20,000to complete funding for the
facility.The pool was officially
named in honor of Mrs.Stevens in July. It was viewedby village authorities as amajor step in developing theOrr property in the villagepark.
OWEN-GAGE
Officials in the Owen-GageSchool District spent much of1976 attempting to clear awaya series of roadblocks towardconstruction of a new highschool building in Owendalewhich was approved byvoters in December, 1975.
It took over six monthsbefore the state MunicipalFinance Commission f inal lygranted approval to the dis-trict to sell the voter-approv-ed bonds. The MFC had heldup approval pending the out-come of a number of propertytransfer requests.
In late May, the StateBoard of Education approveda $1.4 million transfer to theCass City district and in earlyJuly okayed two more trans-fers. But the procedureground to a halt when InghamCounty Circuit Judge JamesKallman stepped in and nul l i -fied the transfers, claimingmore than 10 per cent of thedistrict was transferred with-out a vote of the people.
At year's end, at least oneof the cases was tied up in theMichigan Court of Appeals.
Both district dissidents andsupporters girded for a longfight over whether or not thesystem would survive. Thedivisions grew more sharp ashopes for reconciliation seem-ed dimmer than ever.
ELECTION
1976 was more than justanother election year in Tus-cola county. While Republi-cans continued in f i rm controlof county government, theirhold appeared to be slipping.
Voters elected anotherDemocrat to the Board ofCommissioners, giving theGOP just a 4-3 margin. Re-publican Sheriff Hugh Marrwon a razor-thin victoryagainst Democratic Mill ing-ton Police Chief Herbert Clan-cy. Clancy, a relative un-known outside the southwestportion of the county, was incontention unti l the last pre-cincts reported results.
Earlier, Marr had beatenback challenges from fourother GOP contenders for his
Gen-Tel reviews
1976 advances1976 was an encouraging
year for General TelephoneCompany, according to C.R.Kowalski, Northeastern Divi-sion Manager.
General Telephone's North-eastern Division providestelephone service to over94,000 customers in 32 ex-changes throughout theThumb area.
In 1976, General spent over$4,800,000 for service im-provements in its Northeast-ern Division. Major improve-ments fell into three basiccategories; cable plant addi-tions, central office equip-ment additions and specialcustomer projects.
In the cable -improvementcategory, many miles of addi-tional cable were placed innearly all exchanges in orderto provide for new service andthe demand for more privatelines. The majority of thesecable additions consisted ofover 164 miles of cable placedunderground to protect theenvironment and to providemore dependable service bymaking the cable less sus-
•ceptible to damage from foulweather.
Central office switchingequipment additions werealso a great part of 1976expenditures. This equip-ment, although not normallyseen by the customer, plays amajor role in providing tele-phone service.
During 1976, General wasable to make available to allof its Northeastern Divisioncustomers a special limitedone-party residential tele-phone service called "LifeLine". The new service wasdesigned for those who makevery limited use of theirtelephone service but whowant basic service availablebecause of security, emergen-
cy or other generally limiteduses. This service was avail-able at a rate $2 less than theregular one-party servicerate in an exchange.
Push button calling alsobecame reality for more cus-tomers in the NortheasternDivision in 1976.
During 1976, every em-ployee received new or re-fresher training either attheir work location or at thecompany training headquart-ers in Muskegon.
In Michigan, General Tele-phone Company has over600,000 telephones in servicein 538 communities with over3500 employees. The companyoperates in all or part of 62 ofthe 83 counties in the state.
Happiness that comes w i t ha price tag is so easily lost.

job, including Cass City Po-lice Chief Gene Wilson.
Many observers saw 1976 asa turning point in countypolitics when the roots of atwo-party system becamefirmly emplanted.
RAILROAD
The beginning of 1977 heldthe future of rail service toCass City in the balance. Aformal hearing on GrandTrunk Western's petition toabandon 66 miles of trackserving the Thumb wasscheduled to begin Jan. 31 inCass City.
While area leaders wereattempting to keep GrandTrunk operating the line,another group, Thumb Pro-ducers' Railroad, was at-tempting to gain control oftrackage from Cass Citynorth to tie in with otherThumb lines it hopes to buy.
Grand Trunk originallypetitioned for abandonmentof the line in October, 1974.The request has been tied upin the Interstate CommerceCommission ever since.
SMITH FIRING
One of the most controver-sial stories of 1976 was thefir ing of Cass City PatrolmanRobert Smith. The policeofficer was dismissed in Feb-ruary on several charges,including fals ifying a policereport and conducting animproper investigation.
Smith claimed he was beingharassed for wanting to or-ganize the force into a Team-sters' union local. He unsuc-cessfully filed suit against thevillage with the MichiganEmployment Relations Com-mission.
The suit dragged until lateOctober when a ruling infavor of the village wasannounced.
NFO ELEVATOR
The National Farmers' Or-ganization (NFO) announcedin January it would constructa $1 million grain storagefaci l i ty at Cass City. The planbecame a reality this summeras the elevator was built justsouth of the village limits.
Presently, the faci l i ty has astorage capacity of 530,000bushels, with a second andthird phase of constructionplanned.
NFO officials say their goalis to give the power of settingcommodity prices to thefarmer which is one reasonthey constructed the CassCity terminal.
BICENTENNIALCELEBRATION
Cass Cityans turned out enmasse the final week end inJuly for a three-day com-munity bicentennial celebra-tion.
A parade, softball games,community picnic, displays,concert and fireworks high-lighted the event and broughtthe largest crowds to thevillage since the 1965 centen-nial and the visit of PresidentRichard Nixon in 1974.
A highlight of the event wasformal dedication of theHelen Stevens MemorialSwimming Pool at the park.
Final accounting showedthe celebration cleared over$1,400. Funds raised weresplit between the Zonta Club'sdrive to raise $20,000 for thepool and with the Arts Councilwhich plans to renovate thesecond story of the Cultural
Center.
ATHLETIC FIELD
Cass City Village Counciland the Board of educationreached agreement this sum-mer on a 25-year lease for thefootball field at the park.
The lease came after votersturned down extra millage toconstruct a new football fieldat the school. The schoolpressed for a lease before itwent ahead with replacingfield l ights .
The lease insures the pre-sence of the school at the parkfor 25 years with the option ofrenewal for another 25 years
CLASS REUNION
One of the highlights of 1976was a reunion of Cass CityHigh School graduates heldAug. 7 at Colony House. Over1,000 persons attended thegala celebration that broughtgraduates together over near-ly three-quarters of a cen-tury.
The reunion was held inconjunction with the bicenten-n i a l .

Experts in the care ofchildren agree that it isalways preferable to say"yes" rather than "no" tosmall children, unless there isa compelling reason to refusethem what they want. Theresult of such enlightenedpermissiveness is not only ahappier child but the avoid-ance of needless conflict,
It would be a blessing if thislesson could be learned bymany who care for the aged.In their zeal to do "what isbest" for their charges, theyimpose rigid restrictions onharmless activities, insist ondietary deprivations thatdestroy appetites and primelyforbid minor vices. In short,common sense is bungled andcommon humanity outraged.
A 70-year-old acquaintanceof mine for years had greatlyenjoyed a Scotch and sodabefore dinner. But becausehis liver had reacted badly ayear ago, thanks to the side-effects of pills he had beengiven to "calm his nerves,"he has been under strictadmonishment for the last 12
months not to touch alcoholfor fear his liver would actbadly.
That's a fair interdictionperhaps for a youngsterwhose liver is inflamed but amindless "no" to a man notonly no longer young, but onelong since past the time of anyreasonable threat of yester-day's pills.
A corollary of such un-necessary arbitrariness is themechanical interdiction ofeggs and butter because they

threaten the "cholesterolcount" of men and womenlong past the three-score-and-ten mark.
And it should be clear evento fanatical health nuts thatthe solemn warning, "You'llonly cough .if you smoke,Grandpa," is an empty threatto a convinced pipe-smokeron the dreary downslope ofold age.
My old grandmother, bed-ridden with crippling arthritisfor the last decade of her life,taught me the dietary princi-ples of an abundant old age.Corned beef and cabbage, orbuckwheat pancakes withsausages and syrup were hernotion of an invalid's diet,even if it meant only a singleforkful, followed by a dollopof mineral oil to hurry italong, and aspirin for herpain.
Such swagger may not befor all oldsters, but evenspecialists in diseases of thestomach and intestines arelearning that there are fewerand fewer mandatory dietaryrestrictions, and the wiseones know that even suchshould be carefully discussedwith the miserable victims, sothat every possible compro-mise may be reached that willallow inclusion of favoreditems.
To avoid such discussions isto risk, in any event, evenminimal cooperation on thepart of the patient.
It is a matter of establishedfact that food we l ike, and eatwith gusto, is far more likelyto nourish us well than all the"Balanced" pap our scientif icimaginations can contrive.And it is no less true for ourgeriatric charges than for therest of us.
In practical terms, a goodgeriatrician has been definedas a "doctor who listens to oldpeople." I would add to thatdefini t ion that he also is onewho never forgets that evenfor the elderly, life is forliving.

Road recyclinggets state boost
Recycling roads will helpsave natural resources, likethe heavy petroleum that'sused as the base for asphalt.
So, the conservation-mind-ed Department of State High-ways and Transportation isplanning one of the biggestrecycling projects in thecountry-and the first ona major state highway inMichigan.
"By recycling the existingasphalt pavement, we hope toprove the merits of a techni-que that wi l l result in asubstantial savings in cost,energy and natural resour-ces,"says John P. Woodford,department director.
How does one recycle a
road? The department hasbeen studying and testingdifferent' methods in recentyears.
The one to be tried out thiscoming spring-on a 10.5-milesection of 1-75 in CheboyganCounty--involves pulverizingthe top five inches of pave-ment, mixing it with a smallquant i ty of new asphalt andrecompacting it to a uniformdensity and level. Then a thinwearing course-overlay willbe applied to the recycledpavement.
This section of roadwaywas selected for the experi-mental recycling because itneeded resurfacing, and be-cause that area of the state is
Little action inCircuit court
Action was l imited Mondayin Tuscola County CircuitCourt as only one case wasresolved before Judge Nor-man Baguley.
Robert Woloshen, 25, Ak-ron, had his conviction on alarceny charge removed fromhis record. Woloshen wasconvicted in 1969 and had aclean record since that time.
Woloshen petitioned for theaction, stating it would helphim in gaining employment.
Sentencing orders forGeorge Wesley Lutz and DeanFrank Revesz, who bothpleaded guil ty to separateattempted larceny in a build-
ing charges, were delayedunt i l June.
Judge Baguley delayed sen-tencing since both are report-edly enrolled in school pre-sently.
In court action recently,Bennett James Damron wasacquitted by a jury on anuttering and publishing (badcheck) charge.
The verdict was reached at2:45 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 16.He was charged with attempt-ing to pass a bad check inCaro in December, 1975. Thetrial had begun late thatmorning.
The trial was held beforeJudge Martin Clements.

three years of picnic weatherwere wrapped into a singlesummer.
Thus was the situation inthe Upper Peninsula this pastsummer, called the driest inthat territory since the City ofMarquette began keeping re-cords 104 years ago.
But, as the Department ofNatural Resources reports,there's a hope that the sum-mer of '76 doesn't repeatitself.
They dryness led fire con-trol specialists to say condi-tions were comparable tothose preceeding the infam-ous Prestigo, Hinckley andThumb fires near the turn ofthe last century. The recentSeney blaze in SchoolcraftCounty burned 112 squaremiles and suppression costsexceeded $7 million--the lar-gest figure ever recorded inthe United States.
Other dryness problemsincluded a disastrous wildberry crop and a sparse cropof fal l mushrooms. In addi-tion, some feeder streamswhich usually produced goodlate season catches of brooktrout were bone dry, andsome fish were lost when theywere trapped in isolated poc-kets.

Mrs. Brind 'home'after 38years
Centennial farm ownerrecalls pioneer days
CASSCITY, MICHIGAN
The Model T did it.It changed everybody's life
style and took people fartherand farther apart. At leastthat's how Mrs. DorothyBrind of rural Gagetown seesit.
Mrs. Brind moved back toher grandfather's centennialfarm last fall after spending38 years in Garden City. Thefarm borders the southernboundary of Huron countyalong Huron Line Road, with40 of the original 80 acrehomestead still intact.
Life was different in thosedays, Mrs. Brind recalled.
"Travel was restricted un-til the Model T Ford camealong," she said. "Peoplewere fr iendlier and helpedeach other more."
Mrs. Brind was born andraised not far from the farmher grandfather, DanielBeacss, bought in 1869. Heand his new bride, the formerJane Rockefeller, had comefrom Canada.
"On their way here, theywere married at the Poncha-train Hotel in Detroit," Mrs.Brind said. "Her mother andfather had given them anox and wagon and somecanned goods to start outwith. Well, af ter they leftDetroit and carne this way,there were just trails at thattime."
Mrs. Brinrl said as a l i t t legirl, she recalled hearingstories of how her grandfath-er had traded with Indians inthe area. She said she re-members seeing some of theIndian baskets he had re-ceived as barter.
"My grandfather home-steaded this land when he was1G," Mrs. Brind said. "Backthen, to acquire land, you hadto clear so much of it andbuild a cabin on it. So he builtthe cabin and went back toCanada and moved back tothe homestead a year later."
Mrs. Brind's father , RalphBearss, was born on the farm,
while she was born on anotherfarm between Owendale andGagetown.
Mrs. Brind and her hus-band, Wi l l i am, moved toGarden City where they lived38 years. He was a FordMotor Company employee.
Her father continued to liveon the farm unti l his death atage 96 in 1969. After his death,Mrs. Brind found a number ofold magazines and catalogsdating to before the turn ofthe century.
In an 11)97 edition of theMichigan Farmer she foundin her father 's effects, a
report of the first successfulcrop of sugar beets everraised in Michigan is fea-tured.
Old editions of the Sears-Roebuck and MontgomeryWard catalog were alsofound. Among the items fea-tured were copper boilers for$3.89, a folding bath tub for$5.89, a bridal outfit including3'.a yards of silk for $4.50 andan electric cream separatorfor $59.95.
She also managed to locatethe original deed to the landwhich had been preservedamong family documents.
The original farmhouse hasbeen torn down, replaced bythe comfortable, sunny homeMrs. Brind occupies today.She moved back to the Thumblast fall.
"Garden City was too muchfor me," she said. Increasingtaxes and crime led her toreturn to the centennial farm.
"I'm real happy I did," shesaid. "I enjoy living here verymuch."
Outside of being involvedwith the Owen-Gage SeniorCitizens group, her home andfamily take up most of Mrs.Brind's time.

QUALITY AND PRICE
It's hard to give up whatyou're doing and retire afternearly 21 years-especiallywhen you enjoy the peopleyou work with.
Mrs. Verna VanNormanknows how it is. She'll retireJan. 7 after two decades atWalbro Corp. And while sheadmits it's time to step aside,that's not as easy as it sounds.
"I've enjoyed working withthe people here very much,"Mrs. VanNorman said afterreceiving a $75 U.S. SavingsBond from company ChiefExecutive Officer W.E. Wal-pole.
"I'll miss being with theworkers here because I didenjoy them and I enjoyed myjob," she said.
Mrs. VanNorman, a Shab-bona area resident, came towork at Walbro just a fewyears after the company setup shop in Cass City in 1956. Inthose days, jobs weren't plen-tiful in the Cass City area andhaving Walbro made the dif-ference between having asecond income and goingwithout.
"I started out in finalassembly under Carl Nye,"Mrs. VanNorman recalled."Then I went into pre-assem-
bly under Alice Moffatt andthen to Autopulse underRalph Chapman before I wentto floor inspection."
She says she enjoyed herwork as an inspector becauseit gave her a chance to movearound the plant and makecontact with a large numberof persons.
"I especially enjoyed beingwith the young people," Mrs.VanNorman said. "I think itkind of helps keep you youngwhen you're with them."
She says Walbro Corp. hasmeant more to her than just ajob.
"It's helped give us a betterstandard of living," she says."It's meant a better life forpeople around here."
Mrs. VanNorman says herretirement plans aren't final-ized yet. Her husband, Virgil,retired from his job with theSanilac County Road Com-mission last May after 40years.
They aren't sure how muchtraveling they'll do, but theyboth plan to keep active withhobbies. Mrs. VanNormanlikes sewing, especially forher two grandchildren andone great-grandchild.

Why Michiganlottery is tops
From nothing lo lops in itsfield in just a hit more thanfour years. That's the successstory of the Michigan lo t t e ry ,which began its f i f t h year ofoperation only last month .
And w i t h t h a t b i r thdaycame the notation that thelot tery has con t r i bu t ed some$!J(H) m i l l i o n to the state 'sgeneral fund (about -If) pel-cent of t ha t goes to education )dur ing i t s l i f e t i m e .
Michigan 's lo t te ry also isconsidered Ihe nat ion ' s mostsuccessful, leading the do/.enother states w i t h lot ter ies incategories of lota! sales andper capita sales.
Nearly one 50-cent lotteryticket per week for everyman, woman and chi ld inMichigan....
Figures from the LotteryBureau show 1975-7G weeklyaverage sales of more than8.7 mi l l ion , or 0.96 per person.That compares w i t h ().!!(>tickets per person per week(the next h ighes t ) in Con-nec t i cu t , and only (>.« perperson per week in Pennsyl-vania .
Lottery sales na t iona l lytotaled near ly 2.2 bi l l ion 50-cent units, for a gross of $1.08bil l ion.
Why is Michigan's lotteryso popular?
Some folks f igure i t ' s thevariety: first just the p la inold fiiK'ent t icket, then the $1games and ins t an t games.
In l ine with that notion,there's yet. another game onthe docket. Sometime in thefol lowing several months, theLottery bureau plans to set upa computer-based ' da i lynumbers game, completewith mini-computer at salesagent level.
RANDY RABIDEAU missed a pin by a narrow marginhere but the Hawk wrestler was credited with a pin later inthe match against Marysville.

3 tough games ahead key
to Hawks loop title hopesThe first two weeks in
January will answer a lot ofquestions for fans and playersof the Cass City Red Hawks.
After a two-week Christmasvacation the Hawks swingback into action and thegames that are carded in thefirst l-J days of the new yearwill tell i'f Cass City is agenuine Thumb B Conferencet i t l e contender.
Right now Cass City sharesthe league lead with Carowi th -1-0 marks. However, theschedule has been in CassCity's favor.
The Hawks have yet tomeet most of the better teamsin the league. Only a win overBad Axe in the first four'league games has been again-st genuine t i t le contenders.
In contrast, Caro's victoriesinclude decisions over Frank-enmuth and Lakers, two ofthe stronger teams.
The Hawks will have a non-conference tune-up gameTuesday when they entertainHarbor Beach. Fans will have
a chance to measure theteam's progress.
In the initial game betweenthe two schools, the Piratesdefeated Cass City 59-57.
There's no doubt that CassCity is a much better teamtoday than it was then. Thequestion is how much havethe Pirates improved? Theanswer comes Tuesday.
After that game, the threemost important games of theseason follow in rapid succes-sion.
Friday, Jan. 7, the Hawksplay the Lakers, always toughon their home floor.
If the Hawks win that one itwill set the stage for the firstreally big game of the yearTuesday, Jan. 11. That's whenthe Hawks meet Caro and ifboth teams are undefeatedthere's a chance that CassCity's gym would be full forthe first time since it was firstused in 1969.
Regardless of what hap-pens in that game, Cass Citywill have its hands ful l thefollowing Friday. The Hawks
meet Frankenmuth in theEagles'home gym. 'Muth hasonly a narrow loss to Caromarring its conference re-cord.
The odds are great thatCass City will not get through
the first two weeKs ot 1977without a loss. But, if CoachRon Nurnberger's chargescould pull it off, the outlookwould be great for the firstThumb B title in 18 years forCass City's basketball team.
