Copper strike hits home

Cable forcedto lay offThe General Cable Corp.'s

Cass City plant was forced tolay off workers for an Indefi-nite period of time last weekdue to the shortage of copperused in its production opera-tions.

The lay-offs came Wednesdayafternoon shortly after theChronicle had gone to press.

According to reports, some90 people have been sent homeand it is not known when they

- will be recalled.The lay-offs stem from a

distant copper strike in west-ern states which has been inprogress for more than 200days.

As a result of the strike,copper companies have beensupplying their customers withcopper imported from abroad.

EFROM THE

ditor's CornerWhile on a six-day trip to

the West what did the Hairesdo in San Francisco? Visit anewspaper, naturally.

This one was a daily pub-lished in Chinatown for thelarge Chinese population. Thegracious owner allowed us inhis backshop to see the pro-duction operation.

The paper is produced bymethods discarded hy theChronicle ami nearly everyother paper 50 years ago.

All of the type is produceda letter at a time, picked froma case and gathered into words.It would take an exceptionaloperator to produce 100 linesan hour . . . . compart- thiswith the Chronicle's operationof news copy which approachesthe 100 words level in two min-utes and you can see the tremen-dous difference.

But the shop was spotless!)clean; the paper evidently cameout on time an:] still sold fora dime.

Either the advertising ratesmust have been skyhigh or theworkers' wages haven't enteredthe 20th century.

»»•«We were accompanied on our

trip by the B. A. Calkas andthe Wayne Rabltleaus . . . .so naturally we had to try asmany of the recommended eat-ing spots as possible.

In Chinatown it was the Em-press of China . . . . a high-class restaurant that servedonly a smattering of Chinesebut scads of tourists.

The six of us came charg-ing in, sat down, scanned themenu and naively ordered chopsuey.

Let me Inform you this isa mistake. You can't get chopsuey in a high class Chineserestaurant the maltre dehaughtily informed us . . . .that's like ordering a hamburgit the Stork Club.

Low "class Chinese restau-rants down below, the boss-man said disdainfully with avave of his hand, serve chopsuey, we serve only high classChinese food to high classseople.

We ate there anyway.«»**

While writing about thtnaitre de I stopped to checkhe word in both the large and;mall dictionaries in the of-ice.

I couldn't find maltre de, but•oth showed maltre de' hotels the man who is the headnan in a restaurant.

But stubbornly I still feelhat they are called maltree . . . . am I wrong? If theyre called maltre de is it aolloquialism? An abbrevla-lon?

I'm sure that one or moref you know the answer.

****Another Incident at the

estaurant. A bulletin boardhows pictures of many movietars who have eaten at thestabllshment at one time ornether.Included among the galaxy

as a picture of Bing Crosby... nothing exceptional aboutits with the exception that it: the only photo I ever saw»t shows him without his hairece and almost entirely bald,

The longshoreman's u'Jonhas gone to the support of thestriking copper miners by re-fusing to unload from shipsor docks the copper being im-ported by the company.

As a result, the pipeline sup-ply of copper to producers hasdried up, resulting in the locallay-offs.

In a brief statement, the com-pany last week said;

'General Cable announcesthat, due to its inability to haveshipments of imported copperdelivered from the docks andmetropolitan ports, it has be-come necessary to cease op-erations at several of its plantsand curtail operations at a num-ber of others.

"The company has ex-perienced difficulties maintain-ing even curtailed production

~ of copper wire and cable sincemid-1907 at the jtart of thedomestic copper strike."

"In regard to production hereat Cass City, William Leverich,plant manager, announced to-day that production would con-tinue but on a very limitedbasis."

A spokesman for the com-pany, contacted Tuesday foran update of the statement,would £ive no further detailsas to the number ol employeeslaid off or ii further lay-offswere expected.

He said that the statementstill stands.

"There has been no moreactivity since then," he said."There are no significant dif-ferences between then and now."

The Chronicle learned that108 o? the Hani's sorr:? 2SOemployees have been laid off.

One operation in the planthas been almost entirely shutdown, according to anothersource who described the pro-duction act ivi ty as "spotty."

The situation is not expectedto Improve unless the pipelinestarts flowing again, the Chron-icle learned.

None of the contestants willbe knocked out of the electioneven if they receive only onevote as nowhere on the twoballots are there any contests.

Of the 14 candidates, ten areIncumbents and four are newfaces. Among the incumbents,two candidates are seeking toconfirm by election the poststo which they were appointedearlier.

Both elections, according toreports, have stimulated littleinterest.

'We sent out cards to allour voters whose registrationshad lapsed," said Mrs. Wil-liam Ashmore, Cagetown Vil-lage Clerk. "Some of them re-turned the cards blank. Therejust Isn't much interest."

In Cass City's election, allof the seven candidates arerunning on the Republican tick-et.

Heading the Cass City ballotis Lambert Althaver, incumbentpresident of the village council.

Althaver, who was firstelected to the village councilin 1963 for two years, is runningfor his fourth term as thevillage's top executive.

Caro man filesfor Sheriffs job

Jamt-.s II. Barrier, of 524North state Street, Caro, hasbecome the first contestant toenter the Republican primaryelection lists for the AugustG run off election.

Hamper recently filed forthe office of Tuscola CountySheriff at the Tuscola CountyClerk's office.

There was no primary con-test for the sheriff's officein the 19C4 primary election.

Cordial relations were re-established between the CassCity and the Owen-Gage SchoolBoards following a two hoursession Feb. 28 to "hash-over*mutual problems.

•It was a good meeting," saidAllen Fennell, superintendentof the Owen-Gage School Sys-tem this week.

•You know how meetings likethat go. We hashed over a lotof things. Someone would tossout an idea and we'd all talkover the pros and cons."

Cass City schoolmen in-dicated they felt that the meetingwas a "definite benefit".

The meeting, held in the CassCity High School, was the firstbetween the two school boardsin this decade. For years, re-htions between the two boardshad been strained.

The meeting had been setup by Fennell and Cass CitySuperintendent Donald Grouseseveral weeks ago, followingthe shift In area school dis-trict make-up with the con-solidation of the Unlonville andSebewaing districts.

Shortly after that consolida-tion, the Owen-Gage schoolboard and members of the dis-trict started to considerseriously the future of theirdistrict.

The session In Cass Citywas tin- first held by the Owen-Gage board with one of itsneiph-Iwrs to discuss the possibilityand feasibility of some formof merger.

'Die Owen-Gage board has notmet with, nor have meetingdates been set with, either ofIts other two neighboringl-_V > _ *l T — I I TT..:«.ixjaru.i, i:ic I'ttivrl» ami vntuii-vllle-Sebewalng.

"The basic thing," said Fen-nell, "that came out of themeeting is that the Cass CitySchool Fk>ar<! is Interested, If,In some time In the futureOwen-Gage doesn't continue asa district, to take any and allof our .students."

•They (Ca.ss City) have thefacilities."

Fennell went on: "Cass Cityalso made it clear that, de-pending on the numt>er of pupilsthat any split in (he districtwould give to them, the; wouldmore than likely continue to

operate the el»mei.tary schoolin Gagetown.

Fennell said that no futuremeetings have been set withthe Cass City Board, nor havedates been set with either ofthe two other neighboringboards.

"At this point," he said, "weare waiting on the outcome ofa survey that we are conduct-ing."

Fennell said that letters havebeen sent to all the district'sregistered voters asking themfor their opinions on what shouldbe done with the school district:continue operations, consoli-date or be annexed.

The districts problems cen-ter on operating an expensiveeducational program with a lim-ited tax base for a relative!?small school population thatwill not grow In the future,according to school authorities.

Fennell noted that any voterthat did not get his question-naire may pick one up at theschool.

Fennell said the survey Isan attempt by the board "tofim! out whether individualshave any definite feelings asto what should be done."

He said that the board's futureactions will be guided by theresults of the survey, especially"If there Is a significant feel-ing" shown by those polled.

The results of the survey-will be tabulated on Friday or,at the latest, Saturday, he said.

Fire razeshome in

Wilmot

NO\V OPERATING is the new fire truck that was purchased by Elkland township for the Elk-land Township Fire Department. Chief Nelson Willy demonstrated features of the new unit Tuesday.

Firemen, fire truck ready for action

The Eft Bilicki home in Wil-mot was destroyed by fire Tues-day night while tlu> family wasattending a basketball game inCaro.

The Elkland Township FireDepartment and two other de-partments were called to thescene at about nine p. m. whenthe fire was discovered by aneighbor.

lie reported that he had goneto the Bilickl home to checkhis water supply and when hetried to enter the house wasunable to do so.

All of the contents of thehome with the exception of anend table and a stereo speakerwon- lost In the blaze.

Hrt-iTK-n theorized that thefire started from a faulty fur-nace. Much of the fire was be-tween the walls and made Itmore diff icul t for fin-men tobrine It under control.

Itie Bllickis had been gonefor about an hour before thefire was discovered. They spentthe night at a neighbor's homeand are expected to move Intoanother home they own in Wll-tnol.

The loss was partially cov-ered1 by Insurance.

Evans Products

says NLRB slap

is a victoryElkland Township Fire De-

partment's spanking new $24,-000 fire truck is here and thedepartment's volunteers areready to make It work.

The new pumper is loadedwith special equipment and tooperate it correctly four mem-bers of the department spenttwo days at a special schoolat Tlpton, Indiana.

Learning from engineersfrom the company that builtthe pumper were Chief NelsonWilly, Eldon Stoutenburg, JimJezewski and Milt Connolly.

After the crash course wascompleted, the firemen re-ceived a certificate showingthat they were trained as vol-ume pump engineers, high pres-sure engineers and to work withbasic fire fighting with highpressure fog.

The local representativeswere among 36 firemen fromvarious communities who at-tended the school.

The pumper is the third pur-chased since the departmentbecame mechanized and all arestill In operation. The firstpumper was purchased in 1944and the second In 1049. Bothof these units have 500-gal-lon per minute capacities.

In addition to the pumperthe department also has a tank-er for auxiliary water supplyfor fires where village wateris unavailable.

At the present time the newpumper is housed at the Ca»sCity Municipal Building.

* THE STATISTICS

While the capacity of the

new pumper is over 50 percent greater than the oldermodels, much of Its advantagestems from its special equip-ment.

For the statistical mindedhere are some of its features:

1000 feet of 2 1/2-lnch hose.500 feet of 1 1/2-inch hose.400 feet of high pressure

hose.Various types of hose con-

nections to make different typesof connections as needed atfire scenes.

24-foot extension ladder,12-foot roof ladder.Nine-foot »»HP ladder.Electric rewind for high pres-

sure hose.2 extinguisher - pike pole.Two-way radio - electric

siren.Six storage compartments.

In addition the truck has sep-arate pumps that operate in-dependently. . . .a high pres-sure unit has variable pres-sure from 0 to 1,200 poundsand a volume unit provides0-450 pounds of pressure. Thehigh pressure pump will boomout 70 gallons a minute andthe volume unit will Hood afire with up to 750 gallons aminute.

Each unit can be used withwater from hydrants, by draft-Ing or from the supply on thetank of the truck.

If necessary, the truck canproduce six one-inch streamsof water from the 2 1/2 inchhoses. Two hoses from thehigh pressure unit will pro*vide 35-gallons a minute fromeach hose, Willy reported thisweek.

A National Labor RelationsBoard trial examiner has or-dered that the Evans ProductsCo. plant in Gagetown post anotice that management won'tpenalize employees If they filegrievances against the com-pany.

The company, however,hailed the ruling as a victory.

The ruling, recently Issuedfrom Washington, was the re-sult of a trial board hearingheld In Saglnaw In August.

As a result of the hearing,the NLRB trial examiner or-dered the company to post ft no-tice stating that the company:

All I know is what I read inthe papers, as Will Rogers usedto say.

And recently I've been read-ing a series of pronouncementsfrom Secretary of State JamesM. Hare in connection with theoperation of the state's Motor-Vehicle-Accident-Claims-F-und,more popularly known as theUninsured Motorists' Fund.

The Secretary predicts thatthe fund's assets will hit $30million by July 1st, with only$1.04 million paid out in thelast 7 months. "I'm gratefulabout the way the fund hasheld up financially as we enterour third full year of oper-ation," Hare said.

He went on to say that$173/000 was paid out to 171claimants during the month ofJanuary, and that $1011 has beenthe all-time average per claimduring the life of the fund. Atotal of HGiJ victims of unin-sured drivers were included inthe sum of $1.04 million paidout during the 7 month periodat the same time the uninsureddrivers paid a total of $131,000back into the fund.

These figures are sufficientlyinteresting to make one wish formore, like total monies col-lected by the fund during itsfirst two years of operation con-trasted with total fund expend-itures for the same period, in-cluding administrative costs.Another interesting figurewould be the percentage ofclaims filed against the fundwhich were refused any paymentat all, and but me no buts aboutreasons for refusal. It is mainlysocialistic fringe insuranceactuaries who felt the fund tobe equitable, tolerable, ornecessary in the first place.

As an ex-seller of insurancemyself, I would dearly love tocreate an insurance companywhich accumulates $30 millionin assets i:i 3 years. I might

be a bit apprehensive, however,that the same rate of progresswould generate a financial jsuction on motorists leading in-evitably to a vacuum. l.|

The same thought has evi-dently occurred even to Sec-retary Hare. "Because of

^anticipated $30 million-suplus," he goes on to say, "Ihave asked our fund personnelto scrutinize the total fundoperation with an eye towardsome recommendations forchanges."

Such as the elimination ofthe $1.00 surcharge on insuredmotorists for license platefees?

You can bet me, but you'llhave to take the affirmative.

A few more questions cometo mind in connection with the <fund. Since it is assumed thatthe $30 million will not beburied in the back yard, doesthe fund itself benefit frominvestment return? What per-centage of the $30 million will becontributed by the $35 assess-ments against uninsured motor-ists? What percentage by the$1 fee charged to insuredmotorists?

And finally, is there a flat-out provision in the fund'scharter that the accumulatedmonies MUST be used to reim-burse insured motorists unableto collect from uninsuredmotorists? At least once I haveseen a statement by SecretaryHare, delivered in the uneasy >|tone of a bishop waiting for thecathedral roof to fall, hoping thatthe legislature would not divertany fund surplus into the generalfund.

With current pressures beingplaced upon the legislature tofind new revenue, particularlyin the field of education, Sec-retary Hare and his $30 millionare likely to end up in the sameposition as a man with a bleedingcut within a circle of hungry-eyed sharks.

team wins a few games In a row,you get excited ... If they win 10in a row -- that's really some-thing ... If they would win 75 ina row — well, that seems almostunbelievable .. But what abouta team winning more thanthat? ... 100 in a row? 150in a row? ... Impossible? ...Well, do you know a basketballteam once won the amazing totalof 159 games inarow?...That'sthe all-time record for anyorganized team in either highschool, college or pro sports...This record was set by thePassaic (N. J.) high schoolbasketball team... Between 1919and 1925 they won 159 con-secutive games!

****Did you know that boxing has

been a legal sport in this countryfor only just a little more than70 years?... The first state tolegalize boxing was New Yorkand they didn't make it legaluntil 1896.

****Here's a real oddity from pro

You would think thathaving the best scorer In theleague would help a team wina championship, but it hasn'tworked out that way.

New rule to makeWheat loans easier

Official grade determinationsfor wheat stored at local ele-vators has been eliminated tospeed up price support loans,the Michigan AgriculturalStabilization and ConservationService (ASC) has announced.

The new ruling will affectonly the 19C8 crop, said FrankLight, Chairman of the Michi-gan State ASC Committee, anddoes not affect any 1966 or1967-crop wheat for which loanshave been received or are beingsought.

The new regulation willeliminate the official grade re-quirement which was formerlyrequired when wheat was storedin or delivered to approved localelevators.

Light said the new regulationwill make It easier for farmersto obtain price support loanson their 1968 warehouse-storedwheat.

Any producer still may re-quest and get official gradedeterminations, he added.

NO CHANCEThe surest way to have no fu-

ture Is to live in the belief thatthe future is tomorrow.

CASS CITY OIL & GAS

Remember March 27 and 28,Cass City High School seniorsare saying?

Why? St. Patty's day is longgone. Did they sink the Maineagain, or beat up on the Alamoonce more?

Nope, those are the daysthat are going a long way tocount on how good a time theseniors will have on their an-nual spring trip.

The seniors are selling tick-ets to a showing in the CassTheater on March 27 and 28

Celine-movie," Di vor c e AmericanStyle; starring Debbie Reynoldsand Dick VanDyke.

The profits from the ticketswill go into the trip treasury.

The price of the tickets willbe the standard $1 per head,and will be available from anysenior up until opening day.

The senior who sells themost tickets will get a cashaward, and if the senior classsells out the house on bothnights, why, the theater willpitch additional pennies intothe treasury.

There's one hang-up, though,it seems.

Tickets will also be avail-able at the door, regular priceetc., but the senior class won'tbe credited with the sale ifthe purchase is made at theticket window.

So, if you plan on going anddon't buy a ticket from a senior,their current cry of "Remem-ber March 27 and 28" couldchange fast to "Remember theFinks."

By Don Kebler

This year more than everbefore Tuscola county farm op-erators can take advantage ofsoil testing facilities.

Beside having the soil test-ing systems available from bothMichigan State University andthe county laboratories, all ofour local plant food dealers of-fer soil testing programs.

Some of the plant food deal-ers are representatives offertilizer companies which havetheir own testing and recom-mendation programs. Othershave their soil samples testedat either the county or univer-sity laboratories.

Unless these soil tests aredone by either the universityor university-supervised coun-ty laboratories, the fertilizerrecommendations may not bethe same as an MSU soil testderived recommendation on thesame soil and same crop.

Several outside soil testingprograms have pH tests identi-cal to MSU and these are ac-ceptable for ASC cost share onlime applications.

EVANS RULING

Concluded from page one.if any employee exercises hisright to file a grievance.

HoweVer, a spokesman forthe company's plant in Gage-town noted that the trial exam-iner did not award the grievingemployee with backpay for al-leged loss of overtime and fora four day suspension.

"We are very pleased withthe ruling," the spokesman said.

The Saginaw hearingstemmed from several com-plaints filed earlier last yearby Earl Limberger, a main-tenance man at the Gagetownplant.

Limberger charged that thecompany was not distributingovertime equally among main-tenance employees and de-manded back pay for a day'sovertime and charged, In a latergrievance, that the generalforeman had threatened to takeaway all overtime because hehad filed the first grievance.

****I had some questions asked

me regarding income tax aver-aging last week, so I refreshedmy memory.

Basically one can average thepast five years taxable incomesless Schedule D entries. How-ever, it is not as easy orsimple as all this to be ableto take advantage of thisaveraging. The averageable in-come must be at least $3,000before one can qualify. Forexample suppose your averagetaxable income, excludingSchedule D income or loss for1966, 1965, 1964 and 1963 tobe $7,000. Your 1967 taxableincome would need to be be-tween 12 and 13 thousand dol-lars to qualify.

If your 1967 taxable incomewas $13,000 you would saveabout $30 by using the incometax averaging method overpay-ing the tax on the $13,000 andnot averaging at all.

****Y6u remember last year,

about July !,• the MichiganWorkmen's Compensation lawwent into effect. At the sametime, if you were carrying farmliability insurance, you wereInformed by your insurancecompany this insurance wascancelled out.

As this loss of farm liabilityInsurance left the farm operatorunprotected it was ruled by thestate that this liability insur-ance be activated again. Someof the insurance companies in-formed their clients aroundOctober they could re-activatetheir liability insurance pro-tection policy.

If you as a farm operatorhave not been Informed of thischange or have not taken outyour liability insurance sinceJuly, you probably are not cov-ered.

So if In doubt, contact yourinsurance agent and find outfor sure.

Book Review

A great novel

from James HiltonBy Rev. R J Searls

"Time and Time Again" isthe great kind of novel that we

. have come to expect from thegifted pen of that gifted writer,

• James Hilton. One of the fly... pieces of this book lists a round

dozen books by James Hilton,among which are such mem-orable books as "Lost Horizon,""Good-Bye, Mr. Chips," and"Random Harvest." In all hisbooks, Mr. Hilton has, first, aclear plot or story theme, whichthe reader can find easily. Noris he willing to write stories ofexcessive length; this one is just306 pages long. Compare thatwith the average length of mostnovels today -- 750 pages andlonger.

The story takes the reader In-side the soul and mind ofCharles Anderson, a careerdiplomat for Great Britain,which post took him from Paristo Connecticut, from London toSouth America. The time Is ourown, from the beginning of thecentury until today, those fatefuland fascinating years that havebeen "time and time again" forso many of us— years that havesent strange echoes down thecorridor of a modern man's ex-perience.

We are not surprised to dis-cover that his friends affect-ionately call him "Stuffy."

No review of this book couldbe complete without telling thatAnderson's father was knightedearly in his legal career, whichbore signs of gaining renown.However, a sharp mind andrazor sharp gift of speakingsidetracked his career, afteronly a few years of practice.In his later years, we see himrefusing to take shelter whenenemy planes fly overhead — aproud, foolish man, laughing tohimself while writing causticcomments on the way the warwas being fought, In the Lettersto The Editor section of the dailynewspapers.

Charles sent his son to livewith relatives, as well as hisbeloved Jane. She Is killed in anair raid. Her death reallyrocked Charles, who literallyburied himself In work, aftersending his son to wait out thewar with relatives in the UnitedStates.

He harbors the relationshipwith his son, but, unfortunatelysomething or someone else In-trudes, smashing to bits whatCharles had planned, patterningevents after those he had withhis own father. He discoveredeventually that life was Indeeddifferent for Gerald than It hadbeen for him.

By this time, I have a pictureof Charles in my mind. I see

Charles in Harris Tweeds,getting by now -- after 30 yearsin the closet — a bit shabby. Hecan move slowly when the timesdictate, stepping up his rate ofmotion, when he wants a dip-lomatic coup. He likes to doexactly as his friends do andlead a quiet life in the country.

But he showed in the show-down that his grasp of the sit-uation has been correct con-stantly. And in a letter to afriend, he (in good SherlockHolmes tradition) was able topick up the loose fringes, putthe story together, and withsome few things that we didn'tknow before, tie the loose endsup in a paragraph or two.

I found this book to be in-teresting. You will to.

plied dryly "if you win it'sgood, if you lose it's bad."

Which is a cagey way ofsaying that in a cage game. . . .nothing is certain.

Proponents of the bye saythat the less time you taketo the hardwoods, the lesschances you have to lose. Andthe less games you play, thefresher the players when theycome to the decisive final per-iod in a rough game.

Coaches and fans who sayit's an advantage to play rightfrom the beginning, say thatwhen you start with openingnight, both teams are apt tobe tense and the tournamentjitters are wafted away againsta team that is laboring underthe same circumstances.

When you play a team witha tourney game under its belt,they feel, the opponents haveironed out the kinks and areready to go and may put thegame out of reach before yourclub can get untracked.

You can make a case foreither side.

As this is written, the play-ers are still wondering whichof the two clubs, Caro orLakers, they will face Fri-day. Judging from games playedduring the season, Cass Citywould rather face the Tigersthan the Lakers.

However, if form prevails,It will be the green and whitefrom Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Portwho will take the floor againstthe Hawks . . . . relaxed andready.

Owen-Gagers

to ballot

on millsVoters in the Owen-Gage

School district will ballot Mon-day on whether to provide theirschool with more money to con-tinue operations and to meetexpected cost increases.

The Owen-Gage school boardis asking for authorization tolevy six additional mills forschool operations for two years.

A mill in the Owen-Gagedistrict generates approxi-mately $12,000, Owen-GageSuperintendent Allen Fennellsaid. In all, the srhool boardis hoping for some $72,000In tax monies.

This will be the first specialmlllage vote since I960 whenOwen-Gage residents approveda three mill for three yearsproposal. The three specialmills tax is still In effect.

According to Fennell, the sixadditional mills will be usedas follows:

- Two mills, or some $25,-000, will be used to cover anexpected deficit in the 1967-68school budget.

- Two mills, or some $25,-000, will go toward maintain-ing the future budget at thenew level made necessary bycurrent operation costs as re-vealed by the deficit.

The remaining two mills willgo to cover the expected in-crease In operations costs nextyear.

Fennell alerted voters to thefact that the usual polling placein school elections - the Gage-town Municipal building - hasbeen changed.

Voters will ballot In the Gage-town School gymnasium from7 a. m. until 8 p. m.

A village election and theannual board of review, bothbeing held Monday in the Gage-town Municipal Building, madethe change in the polling placenecessary, he said.

Draft boardmay tap

married menThe Michigan SelectiveServ-

ice headquarters has authorizedthe local draft board to inductmen who were married beforeAugust 26, 1965, and who donot have children.

In making the announcement,state selective service head-quarters said that the step hasbeen required because of thesize of the April call to pro-vide men for the Army andthe Marine Corps.

Michigan's quota for Aprilwas placed at 3,664 men, thelargest number to be called tothe colors In one month sincethe Viet Nam war build-up be-gan several years ago.

Tuscola county's share of thequota was placed at 25inductees, four more than inMarch.

According to the local draftboard, It will not be necessaryIn April to call up any mar-ried man.

'However," a spokesmansaid, "If we are unable to fillour quota with single men Inthe future, then we will haveto do so."

Dear Mister Editor:Ed Doollttle told the fellers

at the country store Saturdaynight he had worked out a newplan of operations fer the GreatSociety.

Ed said we had ought to goto a 13-month year, that the Ideaeverbody had the same amountof time was as old-fashioned asthe pay-as-you-go system. Heclaimed time ain't spread a-round equal no more and we gotto git everthlng equal In theGreat Society.

Fer Instant, he said hisdaughter that lives In the cityflggers how many minutes shewas away from her job, not howmany miles. Ever time a fasterairplane la made or ever timea new lectric gadget Is made thatdoes the job quicker, Ed al-lowed, somebody was glttlnglonger on time and somebodywas Kitting on the short end ofthe time deal. After going Intoall this business of the mini-weeks and maxi-weekends andmaxl-pay and mini-work fereverbody except the farmersand ranchers, Ed got down to theheart of his new plan.

First off, he said, we wouldn'thave to worry none about wherethe extra month was comingfrom, that we could handle it

like the Guvernment budget andborrow It off the next centuryand let the young'uns of tomor-row worry about running shorton years. He figgered we couldadd a extra week at specialtimes in the year, like aroundthe middle of the summer towork out vacations better, andanother right afore Christmasand call it a shopping-week bo-nus. And everbody, clal med Ed,would be tickled to have a extraweek to work on them Incometax forms.

Zeke Grubb come out strongfer Ed's 13-month plan. He saideverbody would have fewerbirthdays and they would thinkthey was living longer. But BugHookum had some doubts aboutit. He said the Guvernmentwould say official It would givethe people more time to enjoythe good life, but actual it wouldamount to giving the Guvern-ment a extra month's worth oftaxes.

The fellers was just gittingwarmed up to the debate, Mis-ter Editor, when the storekeep-er announced it was closingtime. He said he didn't have butone Sunday In the week to restup, and unless Ed could comeup with a extra Sunday in theweek without losing a day's bus-

iness, us fellers had better tablethe discussion so's he could gitsome sleep. But Ed got in onemore word. He said that wasexact what he had been talkingabout. Us fellers had all thetime and the storekeeper didn'thave none. He was In favor ofwriting about six Sundays Intohis extra-month bill. ZekcGrubb said he would vote fer Itbut he was shorn his preacherwould be dead agin this amend-ment.

Personal, Mister Editor, 12months Is about all I can standfer one flskal year.

Yours truly,Uncle Tim

Chairman Hofmeister read a resolution from the Coun-ty Farm Bureau:Milton F. Hofmeister, Chairman October 6, 1967Tuscola County Board of Supervisors4307 Hobart Road, R2Gagetown, Michigan

Dear Mr. Hofmeister:Members attending the 1967 Tuscola Farm Bureau

annual meeting on September 26 adopted the followingresolution:

•With the additional funds alloted the County from in-come tax, we urge the Board of Supervisors to con-s_ider. increasing, Junds to Jhe ..sheriff s department to.allow for more protection.*We sincerely hope that the Board of Supervisors will

give this action some consideration. Thank you.Yours very'truly,Leon C. KeinathCounty President

October 12, 1967Mr. Leon C. Keinath, PresidentTuscola County Farm Bureau416 Wells St.Caro, MichiganDear Mr. Keinath:

We wish to thank you and the Tuscola County Farm Bur-eau for Its concern and the resolution in regard to theTuscola County Sheriff's Department and the safety of allthe people in Tuscola County.

This Is to Inform you that in action taken this week bythe Board, Sheriff Marr was authorized to hire anotherfull time deputy as well as a full time deputy clerk inthe Drivers License Bureau to release regular dep-uties from drivers license tests and connected work.

As you may recall, in April of this year the people of theCounty voted down a millage increase for county opera-tion. We would have been In serious financial difficultywere It not for the income tax funds which will come backto the County. However, even with these additional fundsavailable to us, because of increased cost of operatingalmost all departments and several new ones we wererequired to create, we find it impossible to do very little,if anything about a serious problem facing our RoadCommission. This is the poor condition of road bridgeswithin Tuscola County.When you consider the tremendous increase in the loadcapacity of our farm trucks, milk trucks, etc., of today,it is not hard to understand that bridges, built 30 ormore years ago, now obsolete cannot hold up under theseloads.

We have had repeated requests from the Road Commissionfor funds for this purpose and intended to provide somefrtom the funds asked for in April.We feel this Is a critical situation, certainly to be broughtto your attention and to the people of Tuscola County.

Any assistancecould give usappreciated.

you and the Tuscola County Farm Bureauin this matter would most certainly be

BILL O'DELLFARM CHEMICAL SALES

Agent's CornerBy Mrs. Ann Boss

Extension Agent

In this age of credit cardsand installment plans, paying incash is a time-tested way topay for goods and services thatis often ignored.

We've heard so much aboutthe many advantages of creditbuying, that paying cash seemsto have lost some luster. Butit is a bright glow in many afinancial picture and has defi-nite advantages of its own, saysMrs. Ann Ross, Thumb HomeEconomist.

First, and perhaps most Im-portant to any pocketbook orbudget, it simply costs you lessto pay cash. Credit is a specialservice in itself. It must bepaid for and often it doesn'tcome cheaply. One mail orderhouse adds $120 in creditcharges to a $500 purchasewith payments up to 3G months.At monthly payments of $17,the buyer makes payments forseven months just to settle hiscredit costs.

Cash buying can help youavoid the danger of over-ex-tension on debts. The use ofcredit is tempting and impulsebuying can lead to more billsthan money at the end of themonth. With cash buying, themoney is either there to spendor it isn't.

When a family has workedhard to save the money forsome new item, a cash pur-chase may bring the joy ofaccomplishment and achieve-ment — a "job well done*.They have the enjoyment ofuse of that item, and what'smore, it's paid for. Such cashbuying may call for deeperconsideration and greater long-range planning, though, beforethe cash commitment can bemade, says Mrs. Ross.

Credit is very useful andvaluable to a family in its ownway. It can be a valuable re-source for any family that usesit wisely and lets it work forthem. But paying cash mayhave hidden advantages whichyou would be wise to consider.

When they learned that theyhad won the first week's con-test, they generously decidedto double their pleasure bysplitting their prize with theirgood friends, Mr. and Mrs.Vern Jacobi, Jr., of Sandusky.The Golding trailer and theJacobi trailer have been parkedside by side for several sum-mers at Caseville County Park,so they have many happy mem-ories to share with one an-other.

The Albert Pick motel inLansing seemed to be filledto capacity on Feb. 23-25, sothey arranged to go instead tothe one in Detroit. They hada room overlooking the river,within walking distance of CoboHall.

When the four adults and sixyoung people (three from eachfamily) were coming down inthe elevator at the motel, theyoverheard a woman ask, "Whatgroup are they with?* They as-sured her that they were agroup all by themselves.

The free meals at the motelwere excellent, but the mainitems of entertainment werethe Builders' Show and theFlower Show, both at Cobo Hall,and a visit to the Museumat Greenfield Village. Since thiscolumn doesn't deal in anythingimportant, I won't attempt totell about the displays at theBuilders' Show, or the FlowerShow's Japanese garden, Dutchwindmill, colonial village,formal gardens, fountains, full-grown trees, and countlessflowers.

But here is one item fromthe Flower Show that may savethe life of one of our valuedreaders. Don't store iris bulbsnext to onions. Thoy might getmixed and someone might eatan iris bulb by mistake. They'repoison.

round or pointed,Vern's signature

brought forth Identical readingsfrom each computer. Ed re-ceived different readings fromthe two computers, even thoughhe wrote his name the sameeach time.

There was a big crowd wait-ing for a reading. After theresults came forth, some peoplewouldn't show the descriptionsto their partners. They mayhave thought the reading wasn'taccurate, or they may havethought it was too accurate.I remember someone has said,"It wouldn't help much for meto see myself as others seeme. I simply wouldn't believeit!"

****Jean Golding noticed a man

at Greenfield Village who wasinside the railing at the ex-hibit of antique pianos. Herfirst thought was, "It's peoplelike you who make it neces-sary to put up rails aroundthe exhibits!*

On drawing nearer she sawthat the man was blind, so ifhe wanted to see the pianosat all, he had to do it by hissense of touch. A woman whowas with him was standing out-side the rail, telling him whereto go next to see the inter-esting instruments. He wouldplay some of the pianos, andfeel the distinctive parts ofothers. How often our firstopinions of people are wrong,because we don't have all thefacts!

**»*

The craftsmen at the Villagekeep busy all winter, when thecrowds are not so dense, makingbayberry candles, potteryvases, objects of blown glass,and other early Americanthings, so as to have a stock-pile ready when the largercrowds descend upon them inthe good old summertime.

FENCE -MENDINGPolitical fence-mending is an

ancient art, but the phrase it-self wasn't coined until 1880.

Just before that year's Re-publican convention, Presi-dential hopeful John Shermanretired to his Ohio farm toplan his strategy. One day, areporter met Sherman in afield talking to a friend. Whenthe reporter asked what; Sher-man was up to in Ohio, thefriend answered: "He's mend-

You paid half a buck, wroteyour signature on a punch card,and fed It into the machine.The theory -was that the com-puter would follow the markof the pencil, noticing whetheryour loops were tall or short,

The same evening that Gold-ings went to Detroit, Dick andNor ma Wallace went to Windsorto visit their friends Jack andJane Hool. They went especiallyto see a basketball team inaction -- the team of Assump-tion High School, which JackHool had coached to a fabulousstring of 41 consecutivevictories. And wouldn't youknow it ... Assumption lostthat night.

As Bunny McLeod would havesaid, 'You can't blame themfor losing now and then. Afterall, nobody's human."

Behind the CounterVariety Sales—

From time to time, peopleask why a tlrus store sells sucha variety of nun-drug items,and there are always jokesabout the "supermarket" or"department store" pharmacy.

Of course, there are profes-sional pharmacies in many ofour cities that do handle onlyprescriptions and related drugproducts. These are often lo-cated in or near clinics andhospitals, or in office buildingsthat are occupied mostly bydoctors and dentists.

But in many communities(and in many neighborhoodsof even our largest cities)there just isn't enough pre-scription business to enable apharmacist to operate such adrug store. The margin ofprofit on prescriptions is verylow. and it takes a huge vol-ume of business to justify apurely professional trade. Evenif the average pharmacist wereto tr iple the selling price ofthe prescriptions ho fills, hesti l l wouldn't make enoughmoney to pay for his help, hisrent, and his other store ex-penses.

To augment his prescriptiontrade, a pharmacist relies onthe profits from lipsticks andwindy bars and greeting cards.'Hiose ran be sold in sufficientvolume to meet the "overheadexpenses." so that he can stayin business. In fact, if it werenot for such items, therewould 1)0 far fewer drug stores,and you would have to travelfor miles to (jet a prescriptionfilled.

Also, our customers find ita convenient and pleasant wayto shop. We hope this is truein your case. too.

School scribbles 1By L. H.

Evergreenby: Barb Dorland

&Darlene Wentworth

Last Wednesday a doctor andtwo nurses—from -the- HealthDepartment were at Evergreento give everybody TB tests.The kindergarteners had theirTB tests before they startedschool, but most of them hadto take it again. In fact, Dar-lene said that it didn't botherthem as much as it did theolder students! (They wereprobably used to it by then!)

Everyone in school got thetest—the bus drivers, theteachers, and the students.Everyone, that is,--except Mr.Kennedy!!

Some students think that thekindergarteners didn't mindtheir TB tests because theywere too interested in theirvisitor - Lucy. Janet Sever-ance brought "Lucy" to schoolwith her on Wednesday. (Lucyis a lamb!) The students en-joyed petting the lamb andwatching Mrs. Severance feedit from a baby bottle. All thekindergarteners thank Janet andher mom for bringing "Lucy"to school.

Mrs. Gray was given a sur-prise birthday party Wednes-day by her students! ChuckPhetteplace and Ann Turnerbrought decorated birthdaycakes, and Diane Leslie andMark Vatters brought cupcakes. The class gave her anecklace and earring set, anda handkerchief for a gift.

*i *»I remember when I was in

the grades. . . . we used togive parties at least twice ayear. We gave birthday parties,going away parties, and partyparties. It all started in fifthgrade when we gave Mrs. Mil-ligari a surprise birthday party.\Ve liked the idea so much thatwe had parties every year un-til wo wen- in ninth grade!'

W. CampbellElementary

The kindergarteners of CassCity's elementary .school have"Penny Marches' about oncea month. In these marches,each kjmJerKariciicr drops apenny into the classes' bank.Hie money they save goes to-ward buying shrubs for theschool during Arbor Week inthe spring. Last Friday aftertheir march, their savingstotaled $24.57. (That sure is alot of pennies!)

The second grade children inMrs. Cardew's room wrotepoems about March winds. Mrs.Cardew sent me some very goodpoems written by Kathy Kirn,Jesse Croth, Steve Ballard.andColleen Trueinncr. Mrs. Prof-it's third graders made anddecorated their own place matsin art, and used them on Fri-day morning when they had abreakfast of orange juice, eggsand toast in class. The break-last was a follow up on a HealthUnit they had just completed.(I wish all health classes werelike that!)

Mrs. Howarth's third graderoom has written stories aloutostriches and put them in fold-ers that they made and dec-orated.

Mrs. Stickle's fourth gradehas been experimenting with atape recorder. All the studentshave taped their voices and lis-tened to themselves anil eachother read. Mrs. Stickle tapestheir multiplication tables andspelling words so the studentscan use the earphones to prac-tice in their spare lime.

CASS CITY INTERMEDIATE

C. C. H. S. .Last week was wonderful,!

really great . . . . there werdonly four days of school!

Last Monday the teachers.. helcLtheir_ third cuwieuUHiOn the previous curriculum daythe teachers visited variousschools to get ideas for ouschool. Then last Monday theydiscussed their ideas togetherand in separate groups. One oi|the ideas discussed was settingup a modular curriculum,this type of a set up, classesare set up in multiples of 25minutes. If a teacher feels hewill need a longer class thausual lie may sign up forlonger class period (such as75 minutes) for a certain day!!On the other hand, if he felthe didn't need as much time,|lie could have a class periodof only 25 minutes. Thereforethe length of our classes would|vary from day to day and therewouldn't be any set time forlthe beginning or end of the|hours of the day.

Another idea was that of a I"floating' period. In this type Iof curriculum the classes would Ibe extended in such a way that Ifor one subject, four class per-1iods would equal five in timellength. Therefore, during one!hour of a certain day, every-lbody would have a free hour.This free hour could be used!for club meetings, study, or Iextra classes would be intro-lduced - such as physical ed-[ucation or journalism.

Still another idea was thatlof having a humanities course,!In this type of course, a num-lber of subjects would be com-lliined into a continuous class -Isuch as a three hour block oflthe courses of History, Hug-llish, and a foreign language.IFor instance, in this class - illyou had to write a rejwrt J'orlEnglish, you would write it on|a subject in History.

On Wednesday, a .Student!Council meeting was held. The Idate of the talent show was!changed unti l Wednesday,!March G, and it was decide^lthat the student body as a whole)would judce (he talent this yearfinstead of a small group oflteachers and students, as i t fUia a tn fit ..—^— *•*»**.» ***ot jt:*ii .

First tliinj: Thursday morn-1ing we hail homerooms. A sur-lvcy was taken for next year's!classes. A few new classes -Isuch as physical education forljuniors and seniors, Journa-llism, and office Irainini: wereloffered to see how many wouldlsifii up for them. As expected,!only a few students signed up.lI know that a lot of students!would like to take some oflthese classes, but there just|isn't enough time.

Also on Thursday morning,!we had a science assembly.!Hefore the assembly, however,!Vcrnon McConnell presented Ito Mr. Horace Hulen, Presi-ldent of the Hoard of Education,!a flap of the United States for!the new school. The flag at Ione t ime- flew over the C'apltol|in Washington, I>. C'.

Last Wednesday the adminis-tration of the Intermediateschool issued some new rulesto the student body which haveraised quite a storm of pro-test. The rules include - nogum or candy In school, shirttails must be tucked in at alltimes on both girls and boys,lockers are going to be In-spected, and the boys have tohave their hair cut fairly short.

Actually, I think these alwayshave been rules and these werejust to 'remind" the students.

A sports club for fifth gradeboys was formed Monday,March 4. The boys have tohave passing grades to be eli-gible and permission from theirparents to Join. The club willmeet every Monday and Wednes-day night from 3:30 p. m. to4:30 p. m.

During the gym classes inthe Intermediate School, thejunior high boys and girls havebeen square dancing under theInstruction of Mr. and Mrs. JohnBifoss.

Saturday night the junior highhad a dance featuring two bandsmade up of junior high students,

I wonder if they squaredanced?!

The Senior class is selling!tickets to a movie - * Divorce)American Style.' They had a Iclass meeting last Friday!morning to hand out the tickets, fIf they sell $900 worth of tick-ets they may go to New York)City or Washington, D. C.,on[their senior trip! '

Thursday night our G.A.A. Iplayed Laker's G.A.A. In two!games of basketball - OneVarsity (Juniors and Seniors))and one Junior Varsity (Fresh-men and Sophomores).

The games were a lot of|fun. . . .but not very close, jCass City's Varsity was de-feated 59 to I, and the Junior |Varsity was defeated 24-2.

Thought For Lent

Hallelujah He lives

by Robert J. Searls

It is no accident that eachyear the holy season of Lentcoincides with the first signsof spring. If you look out yourwindow, right now, you will seeshrubs budding out. And eachday of Lent adds to the beautyof re-awakened plant-life. Cli-maxing Lent is, of course,Easter Sunday. Nature runs riotwith spring's colors!

But spring's color displaysall the dark and gloomy daysleft behind. We like instead thepurity signified by the Easterlilies.

This each year carries amessage, or perhaps severalmessages. As life flows intothe plants, so new spirituallife flows into man's soul. Couldthis be part of the new birth?Most people have misread theBiblical interpretation to em-phasize immortality rather thanthe eternal life about whichJesus preached.

How gloriously He not onlypreached about eternal life butlived in it as well! Christianity,you see, is more than the com-ing of spring -- for Jesus andhis disciples it was "the" wayof life. "I am the way, thetruth, and the life*, he wouldtell the little groups of peoplethat gathered, perplexed, afterhe had been preaching.

Some did not understand themessage that the carpenter'sson preached, but they knew,nonetheless, that when he toldthem that he was the "Son ofGod", his hearers believed whathe said. He spoke with author-ity, which comes from a closerelationship with the Fatherin heaven.

Look about you! It has beenwritten somewhere that you candetermine the things that countfor you by examining yourcheckbook and datebook! Jesusspent his time preaching andteaching and while he was con-cerned alwut his group'sfinances, he spent practicallyno t ime either procuring fundsor spending them. We have thefeeling that the preaching andteaching: that he did concernedhim far more than did his

Some are radical in theory,but conservative In action.

treasury.It is more than ironic that

he should die at the very heightof the glorious springtime! Hisenemies must have had goodreason to seize him right then.It must have been hard for thedisciples, for many the firsttime they could celebrate the_Passover Festival in Jerusa-lem, the dream of every goodHebrew. From virtually their.flrsi_rnoment._Jla-the._cityf_it.became certain that this wouldbe no ordinary Passover. Asusual the common peopleclustered around Jesus. Hetaught them almost continually.Then, near the end of the week,Jesus made preparations forthe Passover feast with his littleband of disciples. But Jesusmade it into an intimate fam-ily observance.

Then, that awful day termed"Good Friday" by some quirkof history. The little band ofmen, in Jerusalem for the firsttime, were almost paralyzedwith fear. In horrible succes-sion, Jesus had been arrested,tried three times, marched toGolgotha carrying his cross,and stretched out on it untilhis life was gone. But deathwas not the final truth of theirMaster! Hear it? The strangemusic sounding all around? Doyou make out those words?"Jesus lives! Hallelujah. Helives!"

Two from areacompete forScholarships

Two area youths Saturdayparticipated in a scholarshipcompetition at Michigan StateUniversity in which the oddsof being selected are one in1,300.

Competing in the nationwidetest were Michael Comment,son of Mr. and Mrs. DouglasComment of Gagetown, andJerry Bernhardt, son of Mr.and Mrs. Joseph Bernhardt ofOwemlale.

They were competing in theAlumni Distinguished Scholar-ship program.

I can give youbetterjnileage.

Here are six tips...1• KEEP A CLEAN AIR CLEANER.A clean air cleaner produces a better mixture of fueland air. This means more complete combustion thatmakes the most of each drop of your gasoline. We cancheck yours when you stop in.

Z>. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.When your tires are too soft, it takes more power tomove your car. And that wastes gasoline.

»J. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM.Let us make sure you have the correct anti-freezeand thermostat. If your car's engine is running toohot, it uses more fuel.

HI. USE A HIGH QUALITY MOTOR OIL.Like Leonard Super Lube. It's cheaper in the longrun,anyway . . . because a quality motor oil lasts longer.And it helps your engine run more efficiently, formaximum performance from your fuel.

»}. FILL'ER UP.You'd expect us to say that. But it's a fact. The moregas in your tank, the less air. Air can cause condensa-tion that stalls engines and produces harmful rust.Especially in the wintertime. A full tank adds weightfor better traction, too.

U. BUY ICE-PROOFED LEONARD!

Leonard is the finest gasoline you can buy anywhere.And it's refined in Michigan for Michigan winters withplatforming for mileage and Ice-Proofing for surestarts. That's Lvonard Total Performance.

Try Leonard's new "Premium 500" gasoline!

No progress from Wort to Ben TreBy JIM FITZGERALD

Cass City Bowling

Who cares if I can't put the 2dots over the o, I will writeabout Wort anyway.

Wort is a dinky village inGermany, just across the Rhinefrom France. I was there forawhile 23 years ago. On a villagelimit sign, Wort was spelledwith a prone colon (..) over theo. There is no prone colon onmy typewriter. I suppose I coulduse 2 periods but how would Iget them decently above the o?And even if Ijlid accomplishthe" prone colon witRTmy type~-writer, how would the lineotypeand IBM operators reproduce itin newspaper type?

It boggles the mind. It isbetter that I simply ask you toimagine a prone colon over the oin Wort. Ok? If your imaginationis weak, feel free to use any ofthese Just cut them outand Dastfi where needed. Now

What I want to say aboutWort isn't much. I was theretoward the end of World War nas an inadequate replacement inthe 12th Armored Division. Iwas an asst. halftrack driverwhich meant I washed it. I wassupposed tu be a cierk typist,and later I became a chaplain'sassistant, so you can see whatkind of a fighting tiger I was.To become one of the boys, I

Conquering soldiers moved inwhere they pleased and worriedlittle about where the displacedenemy might go. My companytook over the town's only beergarden. Upstairs it was a make-shift garment factory wherewomen had made uniforms. Twodozen sewing machines werelined up like school desks in onebig room.

The tavern keeper and hisfamily had lived on the job.

There were 5 nice bedroomsscattered about the building. Iremember clearly because, asonfi of the new puvs, I didn'tget a bed. I spread my sleep-ing bag behind the bar which,honest, was bone dry. Thirstytroops had preceded us.

Thirsty troops who had donetheir job - killing and destroy-ing. The evidence of their skillcould be seen in the occasionalcharred German tank and in theruined city of Munich not faraway.—This evidence-could also-be seen in the eyes of the peopleof Wort. I avoided their bitterglances, but I felt them. I keptwondering which of them had tomove out of the tavern buildingbecause I had moved in.

There were almost no youngmen in Wort. Just old men andwomen of all ages. And littlechildren who snatched yourcigaret butts and stood be'sidethe garbage cans and silentlybegged you to scrape your messkit into their tin cans.

I thought of Wort the other daywhile reading about the town ofBen Tre in South Vietnam. Itwas 85% destroyed by Amer-ica's big guns, bombs, rocketsand napalm. Our officersadmitted the heavy attack "pro-bably contributed to the deathsof at least 500 civilians andpossibly 1,000."

How many children? Iwondered.

And how many bewildered,frightened kids survived thevicious attack and are nowwandering, wondering whathappened to their parents?

In my undarkest moments, Ican wipe from my mind thethought of the young soldiersdying, ours and theirs. Whilesiding with the doves, I canalmost hope the hawks are rightso there might be some jus-tification for the terriblelosses.

But at no time can I forgetthe children, thechiltlrcn. Dead,hurt, bleeding, abandoned,orphaned, hungry. I road aboutthe children of Ben Tre and Ithink about the children of Wort.

The dots over the o In theWort village sign might not havebeen a prone colon. They maywell have been bullet holes. Sucha thing couldn't happen today.Civilization has made groatprogress since I was 18 yearsold. Our weapons are muchmore sophisticated.

On the edge of the village ofBen Tre, there is prolably netsign left at all.

Cass City's new high school

throws its doors open Sunday to

|, the public so that area residentsmay come in and see how theirmoney was spent. A decade indevelopment, two years in con-

struction, the new school standsas a symbol that Cass City in-tends to remain a leader in theThumb area. In this section., theChronicle looks at ihe story.

CH I G

C I T • YS C H O O I

Tomorrow „ . „ „ Is Here

Shiny and new—high school stands as symbolA mile and a half west of

Cass City, sitting on a slightslope, stands a red brick relicof a by-gone era: a one roomschool house.

For big city folk - now calledthe suburbanite or urbandweller - it looks like some-thing that's been hamiecl downfrom the dark ages that Grand-pa used to talk about.

A Thumb tourist breezinghis way down M-81 on the roadto Bad Axe and maybe the Haymight think it a prime subjectfor the family's photo album.

Little would he guess thata scant decade ago childrenwere learning their ABC's in-side the belfried building.

But they were. The DillmanSchool, and some 1C other one-room school houses were outthere along the rural roadsserving the farm communitiesand sending their grnde schoolgraduates Into Cass Citv.

And when the children fromthose feeder schools arrivedhere, they found a school ofvintage years which had firstopened its doors in 192G.

It was the kind of schoolthat most middle-aged folkswho th ink they now run theworld remember somewhereback there in their childhood;dark corridored, many floored,with dingy stairwells andan ancient smell.

Tliis was only just yesterday.Ami suddenly Sputnik went up

on its first spin uround theworld and education became anew challenge and a biggerbusiness than it ever had beenbefore.

When, on Jan. h, the newhigh school out cm CemeteryKoad first formall;. opened Itsdoors tor .students, Cass Cityjoined tin.- s|<ace agv.

The old way became part ofthe passinr parade.

The high school stands as asymbol that the-citizens of thiscommunity have been willing tomeet the challenges made bythe demands of the "new look'in education.

The decade after Sputnik,which saw the tempo of changein education speed up three fold,has been a period of intensepressure on the local schoolboard and taxpayer alike.

The school system has feltthe pressure of a slow, butever increasing school popula-tion.

It has been forced into de-veloping a new and complexoperation called the "consoli-dated school."

The system has been facedwi th the ever growing demandsplaced on limited tax dollarsand the patience of the taxpayer.

On top of these, the schoolboard has been faced with the

problem of providing more andbetter educational services tomatch the higher educationalstandards set by "the world.*

As well as learning to masterthe ever increasing number ofrules, regulations, and re-quirements set down by thestate government, and, morerecently, the federal.

And, most recently, to as-sume a new roll, that of lalxjrnegotiator with the newestpower structure in education:the teacher's union.

The future won't bring anylessening of these pressureseither, .schoolmen are fond ofsaying. If anything, they wil lbe intensified.

The high school Is just oneanswer to these many prob-lems, of course, but it is animportant answer. It is, afterall, a house where the learn-lni: noes on.

Teachers and administratorsare now in the process ofmaking a study of the ways andmeans of tapping this facilityto make sure that every bitof usefulness will be used. Inolder schools, this isalsol>eingundertaken.

Although no formal programof any kind la planned, theschool bands win give two per-formance* In the-gymnasium forthe enjoyment of the visitor*.

The first performance, thatof the senior band, will takeplace from 2:30 to 3 p. m., andthe junior band will play from3:30 to 4 p. m.

The new high school has hada "domino effect* in terms ofspace throughout the whole dis-trict.

The domino effect came withthe break up of the systeminto three parts instead of two:elementary, K-4; intermediate,:"-8, and high school, 9-12.

With its completion, some30 per cent more living space- in numbers of classroomsonly - has been provided stu-dent and teachers alike.

Where a year ago, 75C stu-dents crowded into 25 class-rooms in the old high school,now 506 students learn theirlessons. Up at the new highschool, 48-1 students split theuse of 23 new classrooms.

Roughly this means thatwhere 30 students were fightingfor space to hold a class lastyear in the old high school,20 students go to a room inboth schools.

(Note: student dispersal torooms just doesn't ever workout this simnly, however).

The domino effect has alsobeen felt in the district's threeelementary schools. WillisCampbell right now has 110fewer pupils than it did lastyear, having dispatched itsf i f t h and sixth grade pupils tothe middle school.

Deford no longer has to findspace for fifth and sixth gradepupils either, while, at Ever-green, though it still has K-Cclasses, the seventh and eighthgrade pupils now come in toCass City Intermediate.

What has this meant"

For the educators here itmeans they now havebeengiventhe opportunity of using the newtools of their profession whichhave been developed over theyears.

In recent years, they havebeen fighting against encroach-ing populations and spaceshortage just to hold the lineon the programs they had.

It means a new experimentin the "middle school* conceptwhich has gained popularity -enough almost to make it a"status* thing - among ed-ucators in recent years.

It means, for the district,that when the village's ed-ucators go outside - to meet-ings or to recruit new teach-ers - they now have a setUD of which they can boast.

WESTOVER KAMM CO.BAY CITY, MICHIGAN

The breeze that blew in overa decade ago announcing thatthe "new look" in educationwas fast approaching Cass Citywas hardly felt by anyone atthe time.

The hurricane - the era ofconsolidation - was to comelater.

Those who did first feel thata change was coming did sobegrudgingly.

An article appeared on thebottom of the page of the Dec. 17,1954, edition of the Chroniclewith the facts:

"The Tuscola County Boardof Education has assigned No-vesta School District No. 2(Paul School) to Elkland SchoolDistrict No. 5 (Cass City).

"The decision," the articlewent on, "came after JosephLiddicoat said that it was im-possible to get members of thedistrict to act as officers ofthe school board in the PaulDistrict."

Without money to operate,the Paul School already hadlong closed its doors and wassending its students into CassCity. Many other one roomschool houses were doing thesame.

The move represented afinancial loss to the villagesystem, to the disgruntlementof the board. "We net moremoney by transporting them(the students) than by consoli-dation," said a board memberat the time.

But the process couldn't bestopped.

In June of 195C, the countyintermediate school board as-signed the Holbrook School inthe Greenleaf district to CassCity because, it too, couldn'tfunction.

Within a year, other small

Headaches make historydistricts saw the writing onthe wall and voters in thesedistricts - Elmwood, Grant,Columbia, Elkland and Green-leaf - voted to be annexed intowhat became the Cass City Con-solidated School system.

In that year, 1957, 12 smallschools, like the Dillman outon M-81 west of the village,amalgamated with Cass City;schools whose names are fastbeing forgotten: Hillside, Her-on, Dickout, Sand Valley, Sun-shine, Bird and Winton.

"Most of them were sendingtheir children here at the time,"Mrs. Lorraine CCDell, the longtime secretary to Cass Cityschool superintendents, re-called recently. "They justwanted to join us, that's all."

But change was taking placein Cass City itself.

For the first time since thefirst school - a one-room logcabin affair on Main at Seeg-er- had been built in 1864,the school board in 1950 hadto separate the grade schoolfrom the high school because ofthe number of pupils.

The result was Cass City'sfirst look at the new schooldesign: The Willis Campbellelementary school with its sixclassrooms. Later, in 1954 and1960, additions were made.

By the end of the decade thepresent district was fast takingshape.

In 1960, portions of the oldCedar Run and Bingham dis-tricts to the west were con-firmed as Cass City's after afight of several years'durationbetween Cass City and Owen-Gage.

By 1964, outlying primarydistricts had all been swallowedup and Deford, which had con-solidated itself in 19S5, voted

to be annexed to Cass City formuch the same reason as,earlier, the one room schoolhouse districts had done.

Education was becoming anexpensive proposition. Smallschools with little moneycouldn't operate adequate pro-grams.

For instance, in the yearwhen the little schools rusheden masse into the Cass Citysystem, the school board'sbudget stood at $353,370 for1957-58 operations.

The current bill is $845,789,a 58 per cent increase in justten years.

In May of 1966, the EvergreenSchool District, which had beenoperating a K-8 program, underpressure from the then newstate law requiring K-12education in all districts, joinedup and Cass City's current map- 175 square miles - was com-

-plete.Ten years from the time it

all began, the Cass City SchoolBoard was forced to make thedecision that it had been de-laying. To build a new highschool.

If nothing more, the dictatesof space demanded the move.

That year, the 1964-65 schoolyear, there were 1,534 chil-dren using Cass City facilitiesas compared to 1,124 in 1957-58.

The school board estimatedthat by 1967-68 there would be1,646 enrolled, close to a 32per cent increase during thedecade.

In fact, this year there are1,823 pupils enrolled, a 38 percent increase in ten years.

Donald Crouse, Cass CitySuperintendent, described thisgrowth as the pattern of

a "natural, slow growth* ofthe school population typical ofCass City in the past, whichwas given a one-time shot inthe arm by the numerous an-nexations.

"If we got a community col-lege or another industry, thereis no telling what would hap-'pen," he said.

"As far away as eight orten years ago, "said High SchoolPrincipal Arthur Holmberg,"the board was aware that ifthe growth continued, it wouldbe difficult to operate the sys-tem without a new facility."

Why the delay? Cass Citywas the last school in the ThumbB conference to get a newhigh school.

Schoolmen say simply thatthis was due to the fact thatCass City's facilities had longbeen more than adequate.Whereas, when other districtswere hit by consolidation theyhad no adequate high schoolfacility, Cass City did.

But by the fall of 1964 theboard was forced to take thebit in its teeth.

A citizens committee wasappointed to select a new site.The usual to-do over the bestlocation and easements tookplace but, from the start, itwas obvious that CemeteryRoad was in.

The board was downrightleery as to whether citizenswould buy the new bond issue.But they put the case stronglyto the people.

"Space is our big problem,"Board President Horace Bulentold residents attending thethird public hearing held bythe board in May 1965 to sellthe new school.

*At a minimum, we will betwo rooms short next year and

the situation is not going to Iimprove."

"If we don't get more roomour curriculum, teaching staff Iand teaching results will be|affected."

It was pointed out the 700-J800 meals were being pre-1pared daily in a cafeteria not|designed for such a load.

Mrs. Gerald Prieskorn, a Iboard member, said it was time Ito end the era when "speechcorrection is taught in the cloak Iroom, kindergarten on stage, Iart classes in a storeroomand the first grade taught part |time in the library."

A citizens committee was Iappointed to carry the mes- Isage. Named to it were Mrs.Prieskorn and Kenneth Maharg |from the board, Alfred Goodall,Jerry Hicks, Robert Stickle,John Haire and Dr. H. T. Cran-dell.

They did their Job. ,When put to the vote, Cass

City taxpayers overwhelmingly Ivoted for a new school and for'the money to buy it. Later they Ivoted more money.

The election and its resultswas considered one of the top jten stories of the year by theChronicle.

One of the top ten storiesof 1968 will be the Januaryopening of the new school, amove which promises to keepCass City up there in the leadfor another 12 to 15 yearsaccording to school authorities.

Grouse summed up the story:"Cass City prides itself as

a leader in the Thumb area.It has a good school system,one that we can be proud of.It was a natural consequence*for them to support a new highschool."

Some electrical connectionsstill have to be hooked up andthe heating bill is said to berunning higher than expected,but, on the whole, immediateproblems Cass City Highdoesn't have.

"About the only problem,"said Superintendent DonaldGrouse, recalling a lacklusterbasketball season, "is that wecould use a couple of six-foottwo-inchers."

But there's'anothery too.When you mention high school

you're not sure if the listenerknows you mean the new highschool so you say you mean thenew high school and not theold high school.

And the old high school isn'tthe old high school anywayany-more, it's the intermediateschool.

But even when you say in-termediate school you're notsure the listener knows that youmean the old building with thenew name so you say old highschool, anyway, meaning inter-mediate school.

Which brings to mind the factthat Cass City now has twobuildings with the same namemounted in plain view, bothsigns saying "Cass City HighSchool."

So there's going to be theproblem of removing the en-graving over the door of theold — oops -- intermediateschool and re-engraving "In-termediate* or perhaps"Middle" because it's shorter.

As was brought out manymonths ago, anyway, at someboard meeting or other.

The solution to this problemwill come through time andhabit.

But there is another problemthat is facing school authoritiesthat won't be solved so easily.

How do you take a fine, newfacility and use it to its bestadvantages to improve theschool program as well as in-sure that all pupils get equalbenefits from the community'sinvestment In the school?

It's a big order and will bethe center of this community'sconcern for years to come.

But already, teachers areburgeoning with new Ideas andhopes, as was quickly apparentduring the recent curriculumday.

One department - English,Languages and Speech - cameforth with a number of recom-mendations of new courseswhich now could be offered tostudents.

t^saco Jeonhc*»«j TO»/**WJ^«**

establishing a course in jour-nalism, a course in I Mo field ofthe Humanities, and experi-menting - with an eye out tomake it a permanent feature -in team teaching.

Their recommendation thatthe class size - "170 pupils aday Is too much" - was greetedwith the universal sigh agree-ment by all the other teachers.

The second problem bears onthe subject of this week's

"Michigan Mirror" columncarried elsewhere in theChronicle.

In recent years, the number ofCass City graduates outwardbound to further their educationhas risen from 10 to 15 per centto 45 per cent.

"This is comparable withother communities our size,"said High School PrincipalArthur Holmberg.

This exodus to college andoth er ~ type; ~schobls7~H6l mber gsaid, "probably stems from thefact that'both students and par-ents realize they need furthereducation to compete in theworld."

So the school has a programdesigned to help those going onto go on.

But for those graduates whodon't go on, school authoritiessay that a vocational program -which could provide them withskills by which they could findemployment in local industries- needs to be developed.

'We have got to do more,"Holmberg said, simply. "Per-haps a junior college is theanswer."

But a junior college - whichwas supported by village votersrecently - costs money, and theanswer to any of these pro-blems, schoolmen say, restswith how much money they haveto buy education.

Is there hope? Cass Cityhasn't let them down in thepast.

Phoning

anyone?

lot's o' luckThe phone rang once. A plea-

sant voice answered, saying:"Intermediate School."

"I thought this was the super-intendent's office," the callersaid.

•Well, it is. But it isn't. He'sgot a new number. But that'sonly temporary."

•Well, can I reach Mr.(Robert) Stickle (Intermediateprincipal) on this line?"

"He has a new number. Butyou can reach him on this one,too. He's right here. It's con-fusing."

Tills Is how it was for theChronicle during most of thetime it took to whip this sect ioninto shape and until one daysomeone had the bright Idea tonaii a number or two downpat. Well.

Finally contacted, authorityIn the form of Stickle could giveno 'positive statement" re-garding where's who on whatline right now. But, at leastmomentarily temporarily, It'sbeen determined:Superintendent ... 872-2148;High School Principal ... 872-2G55; Intermediate Principal.... 872-2147 ....872-2200....??

CASS CITY HIGH SCHOOI

For "the Dean," new tools with which to practice the educator's art.

Dean of the Thumb *

Holmberg's style:steady on the helm

It isn't that Arthur Holm-berg - Cass City's long timehigh school principal - doesn'tlike music. Or that he isn'tproud of the high school's band.

He's as proud of the Hawks'trombonists, tuba players andtympanists as the next fellowin this town full of proud peoplewhen he sees them high step-ping across a playing field.

And, like any professionaleducator, he knows that ifyou're going to have a band,you've got to start teachingyoungsters early in the gamehow to squeal on a clarinetor wail the cornet.

It's just that, after all theseyears, it's kind of nice nowto be far removed from therehearsal room in which allthe wailing and squealing andsquawking - that goes with aband practice - goes on.

Sitting In his new office inthe new high school one dayrecently, Holmbcrg leaned backIn his chair and told how Itwas in the cramped office onthe third floor of the crowdedold high school.

ticed, you might remember,was right in the middle ofeverything."

*My office was right overthe room. On a spring after-noon, when the windows wereopen, why, you couldn't hearyourself think."

•Now, one of the nicestfeatures about this new schoolis the music room. Ac-coustically It's one of the bestand you have to be right on

top of it before you know there'sa rehearsal."

So, for one thing, the newhigh school means a new foundquiet for its chief.

Which is apt.For Holmberg, a tall, grey-

ing quiet man, who alwaysspeaks in a quiet, thoughtfultone, does things in a quietway.~ Quietly over the past threedecades, without fuss or bother,Holmberg has become the Deanof high school principals in theThumb area, and probablyranks up there in Michigan.

He quietly ranged over hisideas while documenting for theChronicle the impact he be-lieves that the new high schoolbuilding will have on the ed-ucation program here.

While doing so, a hardbreathing youngster barged intothe office, blood streamingfrom his nose. No fuss, nolather. Quietly, efficiently theprincipal organized the reliefcolumn.

It could be simply that the58-year-old educator has Justseen too many nosebleeds Inhis tiir.o to gel unduly upstt.

Holmberg arrived here freshfrom one year's experience asa chemistry and physics teach-er In Antrim county In 1935,back In those far-away days ofthe depression era which putits mark on so many men.

Born in Newberry in the Up-per Peninsula, the son of aLutheran minister, the youngHolmbcrg's eyes weren't seton a teaching career when heenrolled In Wayne State Uni-versity.

"I had no Intention of teach-ing,' he said. "I thought pos-sibly of studying medicine."

He took his bachelor's de-gree in physical science in1933. He married Mrs. Holm-berjr, who also was born inNewberry and attending Wayne,during his last year at college.

* It was the depth of the de-pression when I graduated,"Holmberg remembers. *Italked it over with my wifeand we decided that medical.school was an Impossibility."

He chose instead to pick up30 credit hours for a teachingcertificate while working at oddJobs In Detroit. Thenext spring,

1934, he set out as an educator.-"" As happens to most youngmen, he had what is called thesedays a "career crisis."

"It happened, oh some fiveor six years after I'd beenteaching. I was offered a jobin industry."

•It was with a firm in NiagaraFalls, (N.Y.). It was a goodjob and I went over there andtalked to them. Then I camehome."

"And stayed. I like Cass City.The community has been goodenough to suffer with me andI enjoy being here.*

In 1943, when the then princ-ipal, Willis Campbell, becamesuperintendent, Holmberg wasasked to take over the dutiesof high school chief.

And, along with raising a boyand a girl, It's been that wayever since. Any regrets?

"I've no regrets," he saidsimply.

Well, maybe one.•I like kids," he said. "I

enjoy teaching, although I don'tknow how successful I am. Imiss the classroom."

For as the so called 'In-furfiiaiiGii eXpioaiOTi,™ Sfiu iiiearea's own slow "populationexplosion" caught up with CassCity, the roll of the part-timeprincipal he assumed during theSecond World War became afull time job.

Sometime, In the late SO's,Holmberg recalls, he left theclassroom for good. Except oc-casionally.

•Sometimes, someone asksme to put on a demonstration."

Although as a former scienceteacher he keeps abreast of de-velopments In his favored fieldof nuclear science, he's aphotography bug on the side andhas developed a special demon-stration on the nature of lightand color.

•I love to put on demonstra-tions and help children under-stand the facts and principalsbehind this."

When called upon to make arare appearance In a class-room, he prepares his lecturecarefully, the night before, with(he same care and concern hehas shown In helping some 3,000Cass City students move outInto the world.

Sure, it smells new.But what else is there to get

excited about? What makesCass City's new high school anydifferent from the scores andscores of others which havesprouted up in newly consol-idated districts throughout thestate?

It's all of one floor with aflat roof, isn't it. With rooms.Maybe because it's grey and not

To the untrained eye the highschool appears to be simplyanother repetition of the nowstandard concept of an educat-ional plant.

But Gordon Stow, one of themen who designed the school,says 'different.

"We always hope that no twoschools we design are thesame," Stow said one day lastweek from his Lansing officeduring a phone interview.

He pointed out that in design-ing the school, three specialfeatures were included to givethe school its own specialstamp.

"We centered the building a-round what we call the instruct-ional materials center," hesaid. "You and I knew this asthe library."

"But it's a larger and moreflexible library than we everused."

The idea, he said, of orient-ing the school around thelibrary was to encouragestudents, because of its locat-ion, contents and decor, to use itas their "base of operations,"and to encourage individual re-search.

Thus, this design meets thegrowing emphasis on studentself-learning, a theme which isbecoming more paramount inmodern education, according toCass City school authorities.

Stow called the second new-feature "real interesting."

He said that the sportsbalcony which has been builtabove the gym will givestudents an opportunity to part-icipate in "secondary sports,"and not be limited to a simplechoice of basketball etc. or else.

"The balcony lends itself,"Stow said, "to use for a wholevariety of minor sports:"

He listed wrestling, weightlifting, calisthenics, inter-pretive dancing for girls, andgymnastics, as examples of theuse to which the balcony can beput.

The final feature, also termed"interesting" by the architect,is what the school calls the new"cafetorium."

Roiled down, this means thehigh school got three rooms forthe price of one.

"With this facility, the schoolcan experiment with a wholerange of activities which canprovide a more interesting andflexible.sporta program for_the_students."

"Because of the cost," Stowsaid, "It wasn't possible to in-clude a regular, full sized aud-itorium."

So the architects designed acafeteria with a stage in it.

"You can feed students for anhour and a half and when they'rethrough, the room doesn'tremain idle," he said.

"It can be used as a study hallwhen not being used to feed thestudents," Stow said, "and then,in the evening, it is available forany number of community act-ivities."

Homework timemight turn outhousework time

Johnny may not be able toread - as that popular sayinggoes - but at the IntermediateSchool he may learn to cookami mend.

Yep. That's one of the bitsof the "information explosion"that came to Cass City with theopening of the high school andthe development of the "middleschool."

Johnny, Jim and Joe now getto study household skills inhome economics along withJenny, Jill and Jane.

It's part of an 'exploratoryprogram," that the school hasbeen able to try because of thenew space gained with the open-ing of the high school, saidIntermediate Principal RobertStickle.

But Daddy, don't sweat. Onthe other side of the coin, Jenny,Jill and Jane arc getting a crackat shop craft, too.

THE HEART of the new high school, according to its de-signers, is this "instructional materials center," better knownas a library. It's designed to promote student self-research.

SUPERIOR SCHOOL EQUIPMENT CO6111 EASTMOOR RD. BIRMINGHAM, MICH.

We are proud to have a part in

the new school by providing

auditorium seating and folding doors.

Two years ago SaturdayHorace Bulen, president of theCass City school board, pickedup a shovel and dug out a scoopof earth from a field onCemetery Road.

With that gesture, taxpayersto the Cass City school systemhad committed themselves toalmost three decades of payinglack the biggest debt ever facedby the district.

The occasion was the formalground breaking ceremony withwhich construction was startedon the district's new highschool.

The school board was playingit gutsy, then too.

It had started construction

without enough money in thebank to finish the job like theyhad It planned.

Elpht months before thegroundbreaking, propertyown-ers in thf> district had approveda $1,000,000 bond issue to buya new school by a vote of 545to 283.

School officials hailed this2-1 vote In favor as a re-flection of "community pride,"and to the economic facts ofprosperity and high employ-ment.

The bill was a far cry from the$125,000 .spent in 1926 for the53,000 square feet for what nowhas become the intermediateschool.

But, that's the price lhateducation is going for thesedays.

The bill for the new school tothe taxpayer was set at $5 forevery $1,000 of state equalizedevaluation of his property. Anowner of a $10,000 home wouldbe tapped for $25 more lo repaythe bonds.

The new millage IncreasedCass City's total school tax toclose to the 20 mark,

Of the $1,000,000 at that time,It was calculated that$1,237,000 would be spent on thebuilding Itself; $90,000 for siteand site development; $148,000for equipment; $07,000 forplans and supervision, and theremainder for other services.

Said the board to the voters,"WP are committed" to thesefigures and "no more can betucked away."

But when the bids on thebuilding were opened eightmonths later, the board gotnothing but bad news. For In-stance, electrical work wasgoing to cost $17,000 more thanplanned.

In 1965, construction costshad started to climb. There wasonly one word used to describethis climb: "skyrocketing."

The board had had a bit of

luck, earlier, though. Based onthe district's record of Indebted-ness and its record of taxcollection.

Its bonds won an "A* ratingon the bond market, a stepcalculated to save the districtas much as $40,000 in interestpayments for Hie district.

Not wanting to cheapen theoriginal plans by cuttingcorners or utilizing less ex-pensive materials, the board

went ahead with construction,hoping that the difference duewould be approved by the voters.

The gamble paid off. In June,1966, 70 percent of the 502 tax-payers who went to the pollsauthorized an additional$250,000 worth of bonds tocomplete the building.

The additional funds broughtdebt retirement in the systemup to 5.8 mills, said SchoolSuperintendent Donald Grouse.

The bonds now cost a$10,000 home $29 a year.

Coupled with the nine countyallocated mills, and the fivespecial operating mills, (alsovoted In 1965), the currentschool tax stands at 19.8 mills,or $99 for a $10,000 home.

One thing about which tax-payers can rest assured, thehigh school won't cost themanymore between now and thetime the bill is repayed in1994.

orknstill "ifiiisT beT "completed".A muck hole was discovered

in the middle of the new lo-cation which hadn't been dis-covered in the earlier site bor-ings.

The original $1.6 millionvoted by the taxpayers in 1965wasn't enough. Constructioncosts had risen astronomically.

Rather than cheapen thebuilding the school board ap-pealed again to voters and in

1966 they came through withan additional $250,000 to com-plete the structure:

Students did get to use partof the building last fall. Fifthand sixth graders, though. Notthe lads and lasses mentioned inthe Chronicle.

Finally, over Christmas va-cation, the move of the highschool unit from the old to thenew took place. This process isstill going on.

On Jan. 8, 30 months afterthe residents of the village hadvoted in favor of it, and fourf^onths Jjehind[schedule, _illgb._school students walked throughthe portals of the new highschool for the first time.

outlive" the current trends ineducation which have beenchanging rapidly and dras-tically.

Stow noted that the schoolwas designed to meet demandsof the future.

"Structurally, there are veryfew walls i n - the interior ofthe building which can not beknocked out and moved or re-placed.

"The interior can be alteredto meet any changing needs,"he said.

He noted, too, that exterior-wal 1 s - are- but- "a - skin" andalso can be moved to meet anyneed to expand further.

•We designed it as a flex-ible, independent structurewhich can be adapted to anyfuture educational require-ments," he said.

Architecturally, the new ed-ucation plant follows the fashionthat became popular afterWorld War II - the single floor,flat-roofed, many-windowedschool house.

Statistically, it contains justunder 90,000 square feetdivided between 39 differentunits (less hallways and court),both large and small, with roomto expand out on the east andnorth sides.

There are two major hall-ways running north and southand two minor avenues leadingeast and west which divide theunits into eight island com-plexes.

A complex is based on howmuch noise will come out ofit, as the architects intendedto keep the noise makers awayfrom those who need quiet.

On the north side are these"quiet units," the majority ofthe classrooms where it's im-portant to hear the teacher:the languages, mathematics,social studies, science roomsand the library.

The middle two islands justeast of the foyer hold classeswhich are guilty of only "mod-erate noise,*: home economic-classes, typing and the well-muffled music room.

On the south side lives Noise:the gym, the cafeteria andkitchen, and the? shop and agri-cultural classrooms.

An interior court providessunlight to a cluster of intc'riorclassrooms on the north sidewhich would otherwise neversee daylight.

There is no window dress-ing as It were.

A swimming pool was con-sidered. They're "status" now-

a-days down state. But at anestimated cost of $250,000 whoneeded this kind of status wasthe thinking of the board.

Items included in thestructure which may appearas "dressing" really were in-cluded to cut the cost of main-tenance, authorities say.

Early studies of maintenancecosts at other area schoolsshowed that when corners werecut, the annual cost of up-keepwent up proportionately.

"The construction is based-on quality,* said - Cass CitySuperintendent Donald Grouse."Our aim was low cost main-tenance with a minimum offrills."

Special items approved bythe board during construction- for maintenance and perhapsa touch of frillism - were re-cessed lockers, a marble topfor the library charging desk,and brick veneer instead ofwood paneling at the base of thestage in the speech room.

Added above base bids to en-sure easy up-keep were ter-razzo tile in the corridors andcafeteria, ceramic tile in theshower rooms, carpeting in thelibrary, quarry tile in the kitch-en and glare-reducing glass inthe cafeteria.

The gym has power bleachersand there will be blacktop onthe parking lot and drivewayssome time in the future.

"We hope," said Stow afterdiscussing the school from theartist's point of view, "the ed-ucators can live with it."

A smug look that says simplythat Cass City high school kidsthink they own the world.

Happiness is a new highschool also is English for theword used by some of the stud-"elitslo describe tFeir feeling to-ward the steel and stone struc-ture: "Cool.'

They take the high school forgranted already, too, like kidswill who always feel that some-how things happen and one daythere is a new toy under theChristmas tree just because.

And like kids will, they seethings from a different angle.

While their teachers potherabout "restructuring curric-ulum," and administratorsscratch their heads and wonderhow they're going to pay nextyear's bills and Mommy andDaddy groan come tax time, thekids tell you there's music in thehalls or

"How do you like the newschool?" the three were asked.

Giggles."There must be something?""Well," Carla said, "there's

music in study hall. It's nice.It's a lot easier to study."

Then the three fell to fightingas to whether the music was FMradio on Mondays, Wednesdaysand Fridays and AM on Tuesdayand Thursdays or the other wayaround.'

"Is that all?" they were asked."Well," said Sharla brightly,

"you don't have to climb anystairs."

Then Susan remembered."The gym. The gym doesn't getso hot when it's crowded."

"It's just nicu," cooed Sharla."There are more facilities,"

Susan said, attempting to helpout the depth interviewer.

"It's morif like school," Carlasummed it up, neatly.
