This amount was doubled In the following fiscal year ' to 18,635.676.

For the past fiscal year, ending June 30, 1949, the rising tide of teles t ax revenues to townships rose to an all-time high of $0,170,-760.

As of December 31, 194S, Mich-igan townships had received a total of $26,798,834 f r o m the sales tax revenue at L a n s l n g ^ o Lc tUfd for township roads.

Tha tug-of-war over road f inan-cing has reached a stalemate at Lanalng. Governor G. Mennen Wil-llama declines to submit a pro-posal to Increase the s tate gasoline tax, as recommended by the atate highway depar tment and county road commissions.

Since the s tand of the Governor would make such legislative aotlon. If taken In 1950, clearly unconstitu-tional, Republican legislative lead-ers have decided to press Governor fu r the r for permission to consider uich legislation.

Republican legislative leaders are criticising the Governor for at-tempt ing a legislative program of such broad scope, while limiting the legislators to restricted methods of financing. Thus, Governor Wil-liams propoaes that $18,500,000 be taken f rom the general fund of the s tate t reasury to f inance highway construction, bu t to raise this mon-ey only by a e t a u corporat ion profi ts tax.

Office by Richard Maohlala

Received the South Ken t D. H L A. report th i s pa l t week. This re-port shows some excellent records: E. W. Ruehs ' 2-year-old Guernsey producing 59.3 lbs. a t this past month. F r a n c i s Campau's >-year-old Holsteln producing 79.6 lbs. fat , and El ton Smith's 4-year-old Guernsey wi th 96.4 lbs. but ter fa t , and J ake VanderMolen wi th an aged Holsteln 86.2 lbs. a

The three high herds: small herd. Nelson Po t t e r of Alto, Holsteln, 42.9 lbs.; med ium herd, Wilbur Stauffer , Brown Swiss with 89.5 lbs., and El ton Smith with a large bend 39.1 lbs.

Here a r e some suggested mate-rials to use wi th Ladino Clover:

1. F i r s t preference, L a d i n o clover, 1 to 2 lbs.; a l fa l fa 5 to 6 lbs. and brome grass 2 to 4 lbs.

2. Ladino clover, 1 to 2 lbs.; brom% 2 to 3 IbC

Remember Ladino grows best on heavy soils wi th plenty of organic mat te r and moisture. I t Is not acid tolerant. Strongly acid soils ihould be limed. In addition use 400 to 600 lbs. high analysis f e r t l l l r e r - o n loamy soils 0-20-20; on clay soils, 0-20-10. Ladino clover ia p r l n u r i l y a pasture crop when used f o r ' hay and is diff icul t to cut and cure un-der Michigan conditions and dues not equal a l fa l fa In yield.

The Proof of the Pudding Is in the Eating;

Orle Ponstein, 380 Michigan Ave.. Grand Raplde, Mich.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE C. H. RUNCIMAN CO. LIVESTOCK FEEDING PROGRAM HAS BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL TO MY HERD SINCE GOING ON DECEMBER 15. 1949. i FEEL. ONE MUST COOPERATE 100% TO GET THE ULTIMATE RESULTS.

THE PRODUCTION IN MY HERD THIS WINTER HAS HELD A MORE LEVEL MEDIUM THAN ANY PREVIOUS YEAR. AT THE SAME TIME, i HAVE HAD LESS TROUBLE WITH C O W S GOING OFF THEIR FEED SOME TIME AFTER FRESHENING. ' ,

MY CALVES ARE MORE VIGOROUS AND SEEM CONTENTED TO FOLLOW A CALF PROGRAM. THE HEIFERS HAVE INCREASED THEIR APPETITES AND ARE DEVELOPING FASTER.

I HAVE HAD VERY G O O D COOPERATION WITH THE SERVICE THAT WAS RENDERED THRU THIS PROGRAM. AND ADMIRE THE WAY C . H. RUNCIMAN CO. AND ULTRA-LIFE LABORATORIES HAVE STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRO-DUCT.

I NOW REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF FEEDING A BALANCED RATION IN-STEAD OF THINKING THAT I HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED INGREDIENTS HERE ON MY FARM. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE FEEDING THIS PROGRAM.

MSC Reaches New High In Spring Enrolment

Michigan State College set an-other all-time enrollment record April 6, when it was announced that 14.444 students had registered for spring quarter classes.

This figure compares with the previous high spring enrollment of 14,619 recorded In 1949. according to Registrar Robert S. Linton.

Heavy late registration of ap-proximately 500 students swelled early figures to the record peak in spite of the 600 students lost In Michigan State's largest winter graduation In March.

Of the total 14,644 students, ap-proximately 38 percent are veter-ans and men mfmber about 70 per-cent.

Or So It Seems Dept.: Television manufacturers are confident that 4.000.000 TV sets will be sold this year. To this we add the unofficial data that 4,000.000 more families will then learn that acrobats make up a big percentage of our popula-tion.

German Nads Revive Editorial Broadcast

By Ron Watts, U of M Ron Watts, son of Mr. and Mrs.

V. A. Watts of Alto, a student In the School of Journalism in Uni-vcralty of Michigan, wrote an edi-torial "German Nazis Revive" which appeared in a recent issue of the Michigan Daily and was also broad-cast in full.

Mr. Watts' story is so full of true fact we are giving it to our readers verbatim. It follows:

the name Roosevelt for Wilson in the statement. 'Roosevelt is the real criminal of today, responsible for the tragic disunity of Germany."

In explaining his program he goes on to say, "The idea of a Charles United Europe is acceptable even if it must be accomplished through war. This is a revolutionary period and every revolutionary period de-velops Into the dictatorship of an elite and a single group of victims. A German Reich is required, and to it must belong all those peoples with the natural right to be Ger-mans."

Doris is a shining example of the pitiful job the Allies have done in attempting to de-nazlfy the German people overnight. They have falter-ingly tried to do in five years what should have taken 50 years. They have discovered that the only peo-ple capable of aiding the occupying forces in running the country are former Nazis or communists.

The outcome of this bungiing is easily foreseen. And it can happen. The Nation points out that if all the small parties of the right wing combine, Germany would become one of the strongest states Europe has yet to see.

There is a real danger that the fascist pustule underlying the pol-itical skin of Germany will erupt and Infect the entire continent of, Europe. |

New York is going in for arti-ficial rain making, and citizens with a little forewarning from city officials, will now know when to carry umbrellas.

R u r a l 9 e l e - n e w s TIMBIR—It takes a sizable logging industry to keep Michigan Bell and other Bell System com-panies supplied with telephone poles. Altogether they use some 100 different sizes of poles, rang-ing from 18-foot "toothpicks" to 90-foot giants.

Trees are but one of many products of the soil that are bought to provide you with telephone service.

S A V I N G S AT WORK—Every time you use the telephone, the accumulated small invest*

ments of hundreds of thousands of telephone stockholders go to work for you. One in every 50 families in the United States shares

directly in the ownership of the Bell Tele-

phone System. They have invested their sav-

ings in the business, confident of a fair return on their investment. To attract the money

needed to improve and expand telephone

service requires the continued confidence of investors. That takes a financially heal thy telephone company.

FARM CITY—If you took the 73,000 telephones that Michigan Bell has added since V - J Day in

the rural areas it serves, you'd have as many tele-phones as there are in F l i n t the third largest city

in Michigan. To add all these telephones in our rural areas, w e have set 75,000 poles and strung

37,000 miles of wire. This rural improvement and expansion program has cost more than $15,000,000

since the war.

Kent Co. Ag. Agent Cites Pointers In

Fire Prevention Poor farm "housekeeping" causes |

a great share of rural fires and R. i Machlele, Kent County agricultural j agent, suggests April is the time to \ clean up. The Michigan State Col-lege Cooperative Extension Service Is working with the Michigan Rural | Safety Council in promoting the April program.

The Kent County agricultural agent reminds that a day spent looking af te r "housekeeping" detailfl

may save thouands of dollars and perhaps lives. If it's done before the rush of spring work begins, it will be easier to find things and do j a better and more thorough job of farming, he thinks.

The agent outlined this 12-poInt fire prevention program for local; farmers:

1. Remove ail rubbish and o i ly rags, which may Ignite spontane-ously. Burn them or store them in closed metal containers.

2. Examine heating systems for cracks, soot clogging and defects and sefl that no combustible ma-terials are directly exposed to heat.1

3. Examine wood shingle roofs, If 1 old, replace with flre-retardant roofing.

4. Keep ashes In metal containers. 5. Replace frayed electric cords!

and have defective electrical equip-ment replaced or repaired by a competent electrician.

6. Remove rags, paper, boxes a n d ' old furni ture from attics, barn and 1

other buildings. 7. Chimneys and flues should be

inspected and cleaned once a year. 8. Cut down and burn dead vines,

brush and weeds along fence rows and near farm buildings.

9. Remove cobwebs and dust from switch boxes and clean lamps.

10. InetaJl lightning rods. 11. Keep furnace clean and keep

stoves a safe distance from wails and wooden boxes.

12. Keep in a very handy place a ladder, long enough to reach the roof of the highest fa rm building.

County agent Machiele made a plea for 100 pcrcent cooperation with the April Clean-Up Month pro-gram In Kent County with this warning: "Remember. If you clean up your farm today. It won't bum up tomorrow. A clean farm seldom burns."

Worm Weather Traffic Child's Danger Time

With the advent of warmer weather and longer days. State Police Commissioner Donald S. Leonard Is seeking the cooperation of all motorists to hold the line against the usual Increase In child pedestrian and bicycle accidents at this time of the year.

"April and May are dangerous months for children," Leonard said. "Because of the many outdoor ac-tivities that spring affords, the child's mind is far from traffic safety.

"Last year more than 6.500 chil-dren under 15 years of age were killed or Injured In Michigan traf-fic accidents. Over two-thirds of these deaths and Injuries resulted from child pedestrian and bicycle accidents. TTiere was a sharp In-crease during the spring months.

"Like most t raff ic accidents, tragedies of this kind can be avoid-ed. True, the child Is more often at fault than the motorist, but children are unpredictable and drivers should assume responsibility for them.

"Many young lives can be saved If everyone will remember that all streets, driveways, corners, vacant lots and other areas where children might be are danger zones."

For the record: There's an ad-vantage to having two persons punctual—one is witness for the other.

Site selection has been carefully studied as to natural advantages, such as streams and lake shores, native trees, outlook points, inter-esting terrain and natural springs, as well as traffic safety and scenic attractiveness.

A LAST STAND

Winter must have Its last fling before finally retiring. He rides slipshod through the countryside on a farewell tour. Insensitive to his lack of welcome, giving the cold shoulder to fresh young buds in spring array.

Winter makes a last stand, but he has lost his bite, hla disposition Is sultry, his spirit is crumpled. The earth warmer to the touch, in spite of him, for it has come to life. Ear th is uninhibited, reveals its secrets to Spring that is has hidden from Winter.

Spring is a lady, rather delicate but in spite of her frailty, brave In the face of Winter 's final bluster-ing.

Birds have returned to Lowell from the winter resorts, undismay-ed at- finding a bit of chill wind, fluttering In increasing numbers and claiming their nesting places.

Man Is optimistic as he turns the furrow, sows his crop. He tsdees his chances with the weather, and his chances are mainly good. Man Ik blessed with boundless wealth In Spring. The beauty of new," fresh life taking hold, of rippling streams, of wooded tracts that speck of shade and coolness to come when Summer days are hot and pitiless.

But man wastes this boundless wealth. He pollutes the water, de-stroys the forests, slays the crea-tures that add to his welfare. Man might well think of conservation as he listens to the bird music and chatter above the panting breaths of expiring winter winds.

SEEING OURSELVES

Foreign correspondents have writ-ten It, U. B. cltlxens returning from tripe abroad have told IL that this counry isn't the popular nation we would like to believe.

Though we have poured money Into the depleted coffers, have been generous to a fault, we au-e still a "have" amd this is the nucleuo of dislike, envy.

Foreigners do not stand In awe of us. We deceive ourselves be-cause we are the healthiest, wealthiest, best educated, highest standard of living, "king pin" among nations.

I t Is because of this that we are criticised, and why so many for-eitm countries figure way* of get-ting some of It away from us.

The situation calls for seeing our selves as others see us. We aren't without fault. Our national pol-icies can often be Justly criticised, the behavior of our travelling cit-izens who brag, and boast and flaunt our worldly goods in the face of foreigners, does not help our cause.

We play the role of Santa Claus, but we might play It modestly,

SHOULD WE ATTEMPT?

Since the announcement that we would develop the hydrogen bomb as a weapon of defense there has been hysteria through the land. Whether we are the sole possessors of such knowledge, we do not know. Men may have successfully planned to destroy themselves In foreign laboratories, also.

Bearing in mind the danger of such fearful equipment, there is much sentiment in favor of our country making an effort to come to an understanding with Russia on atomic bombs. Russia has not proven herself dependable or trust-worthy since the end of the war.

The Soviets may seem willing, to reach an agreement with us, but can we trust them as being sincere and cooperative? Some feel, here, that in building up our strength through great power, we can hold back aggression and through such power compel agreements on atomic bombs.

Meanwhile Russia is spending triple what we are spending of national wealth on armament. She has 40,000 tanks to our 7,000. She is .speeding up production of Jet fighters and long-range bombers, has 7,000 planes Including 300 heavy bombers of our B-29 type.

This Is a challenge to power. Is threat of civilization. For the

sake of civilization, we might try a conference, not an act of appease-ment but as an attempt at peace.

We haven't forgotten what hap-pened through appeasement with

hail was very full and hot, so that the soft drinks stand was doing excellent business. Two or three lads, running it with enthusiasm, kept calling out "Please try to have the exact change! We can ' t make change for large bills." One of the boys finally got so carried away that the patrons pressing round his stand heard, to their amusemenL a loud and frantic, "Please give me the righ. change. I can't give you any change unless you give me the exact change!"

Women Top Sources of Al Legal Information

Thousands of Michigan home-makers have found their local law-yers to be helpful friends who have saved them legal tangles and losses of property through thein generous contributions of Information.

These homemakers are members of home demonstration groups who have studied a lesson on the descent and distribution of proper-ty and wills as part of their exten-sion program with Mirhigan State College.

Home demonstriitlon agents and Olevla Meyer, extension specialist at Mlchigorn State College, who pre-pared the lesson, used gratis lawyer talent In helping train tnore than 2,000 local leaders who in turn In-st rusted their local home demon-stration groups.

Most local groups were so im-pressed with what they learned about their own deeds, wills and legal papers that they wanted all their neighbors to be Informed. They sponsored community meet-ings open to the public and repeated the lesson, often with the help of the local lawyer or probate Judge.

Miss Meyer reports the legal les-son has been very popular with the more than 16,000 homemakers who attended the meetings and com-mented that they llkeS its broaden-

ing features. Many women made wills and corrected business con-tracts and property deeds as a re-sult of the lesson.

Before this extension project the legal profession was a source of information largely untapped by local communities. This lesson has opened a valuable source of (n-formation to the public. •

it doesn't take a FORTUNE to get security

Envy the man who has an oil field a few thousand feet under his winter

wheat? He has one type of security, no doubt about that, and you'd be right

to count him as a lucky and enviable individual.

But a full measure of security that is sound and adequate it available to

the average man with an income, too, fortune or no fortune.

For a few dollars a month you can enjoy the solid financial security pro-

duced by the pooled resources of millions of people like yourself.

It would take an oil field of 2,000,000,000 barrels to give the equivalent

of resources that are cooperatively pooled in The Equitable Society. And every

member of the Society shares in the protection these resources offer.

The financial protection provided by life insurance and annuHfes is avail-

able to your family and every family with foresight enough to plan their future.

It's the kind of security your family should not be without.
