Ever wonder whv there Is one ItFD and one BLUE flnshrr light atop police scout cars? If so. here's the reason: The r^d Tasher shows up best in the davtlme: and It shows un much better In sunlight. Besides. It penetrates the fog much more effectively than the blue light.

'Village Smithy* FRAN

There have been occasions in the past few weeks to talk with a number of people . . . young and o l d . . , who aspire to the art of creative writing.

Some have a bent for poetry, others are Inclined toward blo-nhlcal or historical subject material and still others Invlslon inal works In final form.

To them, I say "more power."

This Is a dream that I once knew. One of my earliest recollections of Journalistic endeavor was at about age eight when the family moved and look me from the first teacher I ever reafly liked.

I sent her a poem, scrawled on a tiny scrap of paper, in which I poured out words of lament for the cruel fate that had separated us.

My first day of high school is fondly remembered. . . for I had no sooner enrolled In the journalism class than I was named sports editor. No doubt because all the rest of the school paper staff was made up of girls!

Sets Out f* Jofn Select Group My heroes were the likes of Damon Runyon. Bob Considlne,

Henry McLeomore, Paul Galileo and Grantland R i c e . . . men who wrote with distinguished flair and who had "arrived" in their chosen profession via the world of sports.

Thus I set out to become a member of this select group.

One of my favorite magazines then, even as now, was Reader's Digest, which solicited manuscripts. Libert} and American, both since departed from the pnMlsMng world, were others who received my material

I wrote of many things and in many forms. Short stories, po-etry. humorous I t ems . . . some factual and most fictional.

The stream of words on paper was never-ending. And the re-jection slips that followed flowed Just as evenly.

The bubble had burst.

Good Time fo Wri te . . . And Reflect That's when 1 made up my mind that I was not destined to

world-wide fame. So I determined to do the best possible Job with what talents I possessed.

These reflections come to me on a Sunday afternoon, which Is the best time of the week to write & column. No phones ringing, no urgent plea from the composing room for more copy, no mer-chants In their places of business to call upon to determine ad-vertising needs.

A ^ood time, too, to reflect on the six days just passed and the six In the Immediate future.

And It is nice to know that these words will see the light of day come Thursday. After all, I could hardly give myself a relection slip!

It Is a time also to consider the p'ight of our many friends and former colleagues of the Detroit dally newspapers.

I was with the old Detroit Times when the first strike In the city's newspaper history took place in .1955. That one lasted 117 days.

" There have been others since. The present unpleasantness might lead to the demise of one or both Detroit Dallies unless It Is settled soon.

*000* AuHtored Unforgettable Phrase A community without a newspaper is as a dry river. The

Pow of words upon newspr'nt are as vital to Its public as the wa-ters of a stream are to Its benefactors.

The most unforcettable words I h"ve ever read c a r ^ from the talented mind of Fdfjar C Greene, better known as "Doc." who then authored the daily sports co'umn of the Detroit News.

They were written at the conc'us'on of one of the stoppages. This Is how Doc started his first post-strike column:

•'As I was saying before I was so rudely taterruptpd.. Doc is too Ingenious to repeat that phrase when, and If. his

next column appears in print. But I would be happy to see them again, tomorrow If possible.

And to hear again, even at this long distance, the mighty presses to which my ears were attuned for so many years.

Snow Puts 'Damper' on Fire Threat

A freakish two-day "hot sun" spell, which dried out grassland to tinder proportions, was the cause of three grass Pre alarms on Sunday and Monday, Fire Chief Fnnk Baker reports.

At 2:30 p. m. Sunday, Chief Baker with five firemen and one of Lowefl's fire trucks responded to a mutual-aid alarm In Boston Township to fight a grass fire on Pinney Rd. A rare simultaneous two-

alarm call, which was turned in at 11:30 a. m. on Monday, brought out firemen and two fire trucks to separate parts of the city.

Several firemen and one truck sped to the east edee of town to nut out a grass fire just off M-21.

At the same time, another truck and fire fighters rush-ed to th»» opposite end of the city to fight a grass fire near a residence located at 319 N. West St. On Tuesday, however, a ser-

'Romance' Blooms For Mechanics of FHS Bus Corps

The men who keep 'em run-n'ng for the Forest Hills School District's transportation division have more than their fair share of admirers.

Twenty of them. In fact! Head meclnnic John Gumey

and his assistant Earl Low'tt g'fsp^d hst Wednesday when they were handed a lar^e heart-shaned Valentine card.

On it was inscribed the fol-lowing poem:

In r?In and snow and gloom of night.

Von two are such a wel-come sight.

Vou never blow your stacks at m.

You simply tell us, "Now, don't fuss

There's nothing wrong that can't be righted.

Calm down, relax, don't get excited."

Five years ago when I was new,

I would have quit but for you two.

The bus got stuck In plies of snow,

I tried and tried fy make It g«.

Then yon two came in the army truck >

And quick as that I was un-stuck.

If we've got it coming, yon chew us oat.

But you never rant and rave and shout,

Vou simply say what we're doing wrong.

You never stay mad for very long.

How do you stand we twen-ty-"odd" women?

I'd think you'd be sonr as persimmon.

You're like shining knights to this old gtrl.

Be ray Valentines, John and Earl! The "poet laureate" Is un-

known, though Gurney and Le-wltt believe It may have been the work of Mrs. Joan Lupton, a bus driver for »he district for five years.

"No one would tell John and Earl who the author was." says Superintendent of Schools Rob-ert G. Masten. "But any one of the 20 lady drivers could have written I t . . . they all feel the

•BE MY VALENTINES' Is the way a poem on the huge heart-

shaped card ends. The special token was presented by women

John Gurney (left) and his assistant, Earl Lewltt.

Olson apprised the council that two plans for the Lincoln Lake-Hudson connector h a d been received from the county highway department, one esti-mated at $25,168 and the other at $25,801.

The latter plan, snprtelngly. calls for instailatton of curb and gutters only to the end of existing Improved property within the city whOe the less expensive plan calls for sim-ilar Instillation to the city limits.

CouncU also considered a bid for removal of several walnut f e e s from the cemetery, which Olson said would have to be taken out and replaced at some future date at a cost of about $250 to $300.

Counci'man Phil Schneider s-Md he was not opposed to thinn'ng out the trees, providing efforts would be made to re-n'^ce them Mayer Arnold Wit-terb^ch suTest-'d that any in-come rece'ved from sale oif the trees be u s ^ to set up a nur-sery for replacement trees.

Jack Fahrni svas named to serve en the Board of Review In th" place of ailing Elmer Schaefcr In the event Sclre-fer Is not able to serve when the hoard meets. Olsen also requested a plan

to bring the c tv ' s payro'l up-to-date as of February 29 In order to align the system with the new pens'on plan, which takes effect the following day.

LOWELL—»743M Open Daily H . FrL t i l f

Former Lowell Ledger pub-lisher Harold Jefferies has just returned from a two-week trip to the sunny Sooth. The following b his i e e t m t of meeting maay area people who also are «Joyiag the wanner climes.

Warm sunshine and a friend-ly welcome from Lowell friends who vacation In Florida every year made our two weeks in the southland an enjoyable event. Our 3,500 mile trip led us to the vacation homes of many folks from the Lowell ar-ea.

Just to show you what a small world it is (and how Michigan traffic south through Louisville looks almost like a parade) in a small roadside store near Mil-ner, Georgia, where we were buying some pecan candy, who should walk in but Lowell Township Supervisor Ray Rit-tenger. Enroute to the St. Pet-ersburg area with his wife and another couple.

Oor first stop was ia Lake Worth where we vtsltod Mrs. Bealah Daell tad Mn. Eliza-beth Crabb. H e y have been going to this small east coast dtY for 2S yean aad Uve In i small. com/ortaMe boase close to the downtown sec-tion.

Down the coast a few miles, we dropped in on Mr. and Mrs. Lee Lampkin at Briny Breezes, a trailer community noar Del-ray Beach. They are living in an attractive new 12-ft. wide trailer with all the comforts of home in this community of sev-eral hundred trailers.

This model community has many facilities to make the win-ter a busy one for r e s iden t s . . . a new swimming pool, excellent shuffleboard courts, craft shop, game rooms and a large audi-torium where programs, carry-in dinners and church services are held. The LampUns are longtime winter visitors here and were among the early resi-dents of the trailer community.

While In tke Miami Ft Lauderdale area, we stoaped la to see Mr. aad Mrs. Peter Speerstra who have beea com-lag to the same apartment In Danla for the past 14 yean. This Is la the hub of the east coast action-area, with good beaches and near to t h e Urge cities, hat ta a commu-nity with a small-towi atmos-phere.

n * second week of our Florida visit was spent on the west coast We crossed the state on the newly-opened Alligator Alley, which " stretched through 80 miles of swamp and forest area. Strange and beautiful birds lined the canals along the Mghway and there were hun-dreds of people fishing in the waterways.

Our first stop was at North Ft. Myers al the new trailer home of Mr. and Mrs. George Hale. We Interrupted George in the middle of a carpentry job and had a nice visit. Then the Hales took us a few miles to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ger-ald Rollins, who have a nice | home on six acres, just off the highway.

Gerald is deartog the land and pUntlig orange trees and Is abo coffskfcrfoi; raiting Christmas trees. Eleanor Is teachlag school h F t Myers and their daaghter, Beth, is in junior college there. Ger-ald "ribs to" tke freedom from cold and snow by hang-ing a fhtav new mow shovel In his car port, iaoertted. "Never Again." This k prob-ably the onlv snow shovel in all of Florida. We found Mrs W. E. Hall a t

the large Bradenton Trailer Park, living with her niece in a comfortable trailer with a fine view t)f the busy shuffle-board court.

A few miles away in Palmet-to, we stopped to see Mr, and Mrs. Bill Christiansen; t h e y have an attractive home tost, a short way from the Manatee River. Bill proudly displayed his orchid growing in a pot hang-ing from a live oak tree that was heavy with moss. He is working in a plastic manufac-turing company nearby and both of their daughters are working in Bradenton.

We ended our trip in the St. Petersburg area with M r . and Mrs. Elwin Kidder. Mrs. Jef-feries' father. Hundreds of sen-ior citizens on the street and In the stores made an Impress-ive sigh'

The eatlre ctty seems to be geared to looktog after the winter vlslton; rooms are available la the ctty tor as tow as $21 a week and res-taurants serve excellent meals tor swprbingly tow price... You ean get a haircut in Webb's C'kv, proclaimed as "the world's most unusual drugstore." tor only Kc.

With our usual luck, everyone in Florida said we had just missed the hot weather, but to our zero-acclimated systems, the 60 to 70 degree tempera-tures with bright sun were quite comfortable And it's probably a good thing that our lime and money ran out after only two weeks! It would be very easy to wait out the winter in the Florida sun.
