JOHNS, MICHIGAN AUGUST, Cents Sfo$beM>tyuxxekatfa fanf&fab Curb to curb people was the scene n St. Johns last week as Clnton County shoppers flocked downtown to take advantage of the Annual Sdewalk Sale bargans. Despte, n many cases, over 90 degree temperatures, the sdewalks were flled wth area bargan hunters. Offcals attempt to untwst cannng ld shortage mystery By Jm Edwards County News Edtor In an attempt to untwst the cannng ld shortage mystery, Mchgan legslators on both the state and federal level have announced acton they are nvolved n concernng the naton-wde shortage. In Washngton, IQtr Dst. Congressman Elford A. Cederberg (R-Mdland) has dstrbuted a news release announcng that he has joned "several colleagues n sponsorng a resolutotvcallng^or an nvestgaton of the cannng ld ndustry." The Jont Resoluton calls for the U.S. attorney general to nvestgate 4... possble ant-trust volatons n the manufacture and marketng of home cannng lds. Thousands of complants from Mchgan consumers ndcate that there are not enough lds n stores to satsfy ther needs." Cederberg sad, "Wth Mchgan's cannng season before us, home canners deserve are not need. I don't know f the companes dong anythng wrong, but t's tme we fnd out for sure what the story Is. Jn lght of recent reports.of mssng nventores, Black marketng' and unshpped allotments, we must determne f the ndustry s volatng ant-trust regulatons to further proft from the shortage," Crss Center faces crss-no money ST. JOHNS -The Clnton County Common Ground Crss Center s experencng a "crss" of ts own. Glen Ltchfeld, Crss Center drector, reports that, as of Aug, 15, the center wll be no longer recevng fundng from the Offce of Substance Abuse Servces (OSAS). OSAS funds are channeled locally through the local coordnatng agency, Md- Mchgan Dstrct Health Dept, Substance Abuse Control Offce. The fundng has been for 2 ndvduals, a full-tme drector (Ltchfeld) and half-tme assstant drector, Carol Martn, to be on a pad bass. Stoppng of funds wll elmnate those 2 postons. Accordng to Ltchfeld and Martn, OSAS wll now drect funds to a new Clnton County Substance Abuse Counselng Center to be housed n the Communty Mental Health buldng. Because of the halted fundng, those workng at the Crss Center, both pad and volunteer are askng the communty's, support n mantanng the counselng servce at the center, ll W. Ralroad St. n St. Johns. The center was establshed through concern locally about drug abuse n Clnton County. Currently, Common Ground offers help n dealng wth problems such as relatonshps, lonelness, sucde tendences, medcal references, problem pregnances and drug problems concernng dentfcaton of drugs, use, "bad trps", overdose and other related problems. Volunteer workers are ntervewed by the drector and the screenng commttee. Those accepted as volunteers are traned to be a "lstenng ear" for those persons havng problems. Members of the center state they do not drect those wth problems n what to do, offer advce or provde therapy. They say they are there to "lsten and help fnd a soluton that s rght" for the partcular ndvdual. Ther theory s to let the ndvdual make hs own decson about a course of acton after the alternatves are explaned. In a wrtten statement, Ltchfeld and Martn, dscussed what they feel has been a crtcsm of Common Ground. It reads, "A major crtcsm of- Common Ground has been that t doesn't functon lke a "professonal" organzaton s supposed to functon. Although t s never ntended that way by the people who work n them, n most human servce agences, sooner or later, the clents become secondary to paper work, "We made a conscous choce at Common Ground mat ths would never happen. "We seem to hear that beng 'professonal' means wearng suts and tes and only seeng people from 9 to 5, "To us, 'professonal" means provdng whatever servce s needed, when t s needed, the best Way we know how. "It seems to us that people want to know that somewhere there s an agency who really cares about them. "Because we are that knd of agency, we P<U*tt*tf and fvuu*u*f 4&uut #u&pdu &U W Attn** dtom** cfamf* fa (# *# dwmu fauut tomfut&fo* ' STARTS FRIDAY AT CLINTON THEATRE ST. JOHNS In the news release dstrbuted by Cederberg, t was stated that the demand for cannng lds has ncreased 50% snce 1973,' 'Cederberg sad much of the shortage of lds s the result of "skyrocketng ncrease n demand for lds over the last 2years." current shortages ndcate that many areas are not recevng all the lds they heed when they are most needed.-" ' Cederberg also asked dstrct resdents not to hoard what cannng lds are avalable. On the state scene, Rep. Francs R. Spanola (D-Corunna) has been apponted charman of the specal house commttee created to study the cannng ld shortage. A publc hearng was held earler, wth some wholesalers testfyng, but another was scheduled for Monday to allow out-ofstate manufacturers to express ther vews to the House commttee. Spanola sad, "It s only by hearng from all representatves of the canng ld ndustry and those who handle them that we wll be able to reach any conclusons as to why lds are not avalable." The representatve also warned of penaltes for those -persons who have been reportedly sellng "black market" lds. He sad, "To those persons reportedly sellng large amounts of cannng lds from trucks or from ther homes, t s mportant that they be aware that sellng wthout a Mchgan Sales Tax Lcense s a volaton of Mchgan Law. Authortes clam they are prepad to prosecute anyone found to be volatng ths law." Locally, Wllam Jackson, Clnton County assstant prosecutng attorney, reported no requests for warrants have been receved concernng the llegal sale of lds. He warned that f local authortes learn of llegal sales of the lds n the area, those persons nvolved wll be prosecuted. There has been at least 1 report to the County News that lds were beng sold llegally n the central Mchgan area. 'Prosecuton n such cases would lkely be dffcult - the evdence dsappears quckly to customers wllng to pay almost any prce for the lds. As far as avalablty of the lds locally goes, t seems to be a story of watng untl a shpment arrves and gettng there whle they.are stll on the shelves. Id St. Johns, offcals of Kroger Superstore and Andy's IGA report that shpments are put on the shelves as they come In to the feel our purpose s justfed by askng our local faclty and are gone n a matter of servce populaton, the same people we try hours, to serve, to please gve us help, so that Common Ground may contnue," They sad they are askng donatons so the center may stay open past Aug. 15. The center s open from 1-11 p.m. AUGUST 8-14 P*ftf3 tt Robert Gmmell, Kroger manager, sad a recent shpment was put on the shelves and sold out n 4 hours, Kroger has lmted customers to 4 dozen per famly. At IGA, Ed McDowell sad a recent shpment of 18 cases wth 12 dozen lds n a case sold out n about 5 hours. IGA also lmts quanttes, wth 3 dozen per famly allowed: Both Ball and Kerr, the naton's leadng manufacturers of cannng lds are reported ther factores are operatng at full capacty to supply as many as possble durng the current cannng season, For those stll n need of lds, the answer* seems to be, "Be where they are when they arrve and purchase mmedately what you' need or as many as allowed, Another alternatve s freezng, but who lkes frozen dll pckles?

Accordng to a spokesman for the consultng frm, who are conductng the study for $419,000, they plan to combne ther expertse and the recommendatons and publc comment for recommendatons to be submtted to the state some tme the mddle of ths month. The spokesman sad that hopes are that the Hghway Department revew wll be completed and backout n the near future. The spokesman sad that September would, n hs estmaton, be the earlest tme that the hghway department would complete revew. ' THE GRATIOT Colrty Board of Commssoners, Gratot Road Commsson, and the Gratot Plannng, Commsson all recommended that the corrdor follow the present road bed n Gratot County. Clnton county's Board of Commssoners frst dscussed the "no buld" alternatve, whch would provde mprovements wth addtonal lanes n DeWtt, a route around St, Johns and a Cloverleaf at the M-57 ntersecton. However, the Clnton Commssoners fnally decded on a -5 vote*, tn recommend the B 3e alternatve, a westerly route whch would hook up wth the exstng U.S. '27 algnment north of Coloney Road to Ithaca. Davd Smth, a Clnton-Gratot County Lne resdent, appeared before the Gratot County Board of Commssoners at ther Aug. 4 meetng to thank them for ther support and atttude n tryng to recommend the present route. Smth told the Gratot Commssoners that support was.buldng for the "no-buld" alternatve was ncreasng. He told the Gratot Group that both'the Mchgan Department of Natural Resources and the Mchgan Department of Agrculture have endorsed the "no-buld" dea. *. Extenson Servce letter explans poston on recreaton funds EDITOR'S NOTE: The followng letter from James W. Pelham, Clnton County Extenson drector, s n reply to a story n last week's Clnton County News descrbng dstrbuton of recreaton fund money n the county: Last week your paper carred an artcle descrbng events leadng to the dstrbuton of money to beused n developng recreaton programs n the county funded through the Manpower dstrbuton. The statement was made that Cooperatve Extenson refused the admnstratons request to take county applcatons for the money. Ths was absolutely true. However, an nference could be drawn that Cooperatve Extenson just wasn't beng "cooperatve" and ths would be an erroneous assumpton. Asde from the fact Cooperatve Extenson s strctly an educatonal agency wth no justfcaton for performng any functon other than educaton, there were several vald reasons for the refusal. To begn wth, cooperatve Extenson was a competng agency for the funds and last year receved the total of $1, receved by Clnton County, Ths year t looked for awhle as though Extenson would agan be the only applcant for a lttle more than twenty-seven hundred dollars. The reason was, knowledge of the avalablty of the funds Was not wde spread and the tr-county offce had Very short notce of ther avalablty. Extenson was the only agency to meet the deadlne for applcaton n ether year. Donald Glson, former county commssoner, and Roger Overway, com-' mssoner from DeWtt, represent Clnton on the Tr-County board. Overway protested t was not far to dstrbute the funds wthout all organzed recreaton groups havng the opportunty to apply, and somehow an extenson n applcaton tme was arranged after the orgnal deadlne passed, Snce Extenson tres to work wth all people and avods all poltcal ssues (federal regulaton prohbts us from partcpatng n partsan poltcs), I thought t unwse to n any way assocate ths offce wth the dstrbuton of funds. Probably I would have taken a dfferent vew n helpng to notfy organzed recreaton groups throughout the county f ths task had come up and there Was no offce desgnated to do t. However, the newly-formed post of county admnstratve assstant held by Gerald Ambrose seemed a very logcal offce to get ths job.dpne, and! recommended the Manpower Agency contact hm. Ths was done, and I thnk he dd an excellent job of handlng the stuaton wthn the lmted tme span gven hm. Cooperatve Extenson has always cooperated wth all ndvduals and agences. Our functon s purely an educatonal arm of Mchgan State Unversty, We regularly perform certan servces to assst our clents n Clnton County that may not be strctly educatonal. For example, dentfcaton and control of nsects and dseases n crops, gardens and lawns may not be strctly educatonal, but certanly s educaton related. Helpng desgn farm buldng layouts or assstng 'wth farm fnancng and budgets probably would be placed n the same category. However, there s no justfcaton for Extenson performng the actual work of gettng a job done ether for an ndvdual, or as n ths case, for the publc. We just aren't allowed to do that.

McGure. Mr. McGure, as he s known at Cty Hall, has been a resdent of DeWtt for 27 years and durng that tme he has never been content to begrudgngly pay hs taxes and leave the job jof contrbutng to cty govern- 'ment to the next guy. *., When he frst came to DeWtt vllage, as t was known then, n November 1948, he nostalgcally recalls t, "as a farmng communty where everybody came to town on Saturday and where only man street was blacktopped." He a'lso remembers there wasn't very much plannng Orla McGure SIMPLICITY MEANS QUALITY done on thngs lke sewers and roads, and record keepng was almost non-ex stant. Beng a cvl engneer wth the State Health Department where hs work was muncpal - orented, McGure decded, "ths lttle communty had potental and very pronounced development possbltes," and beng, as he says, "a cvc mnded person," he got nvolved n cty government and became Cty Engneer, a poston he stll holds today.

DEWITT PHONE: nana n annexng Lake Geneva when the vllage became a cty n 195, McGure, as a member of the DeWtt Lons Club snce 1952, also helped develop Rversde Park. And today, he stll holds the ttle of deputy buldng nspector and zpnng admnstrator. These, f you can beleve t, were part-tme actvtes for whch McGure charged the cty no money, and as a full-tme pursut, he served wth the State Health Department where he was a desgnng engneer on a lengthy sheet of water supplysystem projects as well as beng responsble for openng the frst Health Department offce n Northern Mchgan after the second World War. McGure also put n 17 years wth the U.S. Army, ncludng a htch as post engneer at the General Army Hosptal n Northern Inda durng the war and later organzed the medcal secton and served as an nstructor wth the U.S. Army reserve n Lansng, from whch he retred as a Colonel n 193. McGure was born nearly three quarters of a century ago n Jones County, Iowa, and later graduated from the Unversty.of Iowa, majorng, n cvl engneerng and specalzng n santary hydrologes. He came to the Mchgan Health Dept. n 1948 and after 43 years wth them, he retred, though he stll does consultng work on the sde ("one of my hobbes," he adds) besdes workng for the cty. Whle some who reach McGure's age castgate the present and long for the good old days, McGure s dfferent and does not sourly yearn for the past, ether n DeWtt or n hs personal lfe. "You can't stop growth," he sad n refutng the noton that DeWtt was better 'back then'." "You can't stop progress and you got to keep abreast of the changng condtons, because once you stop dong ths, you go backwards." McGure s stll as spry and as sharp as any person half hs age and says f he has a phlosophy of lfe t would be advce gven to hm by an old Army Colonel "Who admonshed, "f there ever comes a tme when you have a doubt n your mnd f you should say somethng to somebody, don't say t." McGure stll lves n the same house at 310 E. Dll, as when he frst came to DeWtt wth hs wfe Irene, and probably one of the fnest trbutes the cty could gve htm came recently when they named the new park on Norrs and Man St., Orla E. McGure Park.

There s a smple reason, the Federal law says we may not. From the manual OFFICAL SYMBOL OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL, GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORIZED USAGE t says n regard to Bcentennal Flags: "ARBA wll lcense manufacturers, approved by the ARBA, to produce the Bcentennal flag. The Bcentennal flag wll not nclude the name of any State or desgnated Bcentennal Communty. The States and Bcentennal Communtes wll be provded perodcally wth the names and addresses of lcensed manufacturers and other nformaton necessary for them to place quantty orders for the flag. Flags wll not be authorzed for sale to the general publc." Ths means that only people resdng wthn an authorzed Bcentennal Communty and recognzed as such by the Federal Government may purchase the flags. The Federal law coverng ths edct reads thus: "Secton 2 [] of Publc Law approved December 11,1973, s the current legal authorty for the Offcal Bcentennal symbol. That secton provdes: Whoever, except as authojzed under rules and regulatons ssued by the Admnstrator, knowngly manufactures, reproduces, or uses any logos [ARBA symbols] or marks orgnated under authorty of and certfed by the Admnstrator for use n connecton wth the commemoraton of the Amercan Revoluton Bcentennal, or any facsmle thereof, or holds out to the publc objects n such a manner as to suggest any such logos, symbols, or marks not offcally authorzed by the Admnstrator, shall be fned not more than $250. or mprsoned not more than sx months or both: Provded, That ths secton shall be applcable upon publcaton n the Federal Regster of notfcaton of certfcaton hereunder by the Admnstrator wth respect to each such logo, symbol, or mark". The Bennngton Flag s the unoffcal Bcentennal flag and may be flown by anyone and s accorded the same respect gven to the 50 starflag.ths s the flag I fly because, even though a charman of a Bcentennal Commsson, I lve outsde of the cty lmts of De Wtt.

Allen crtczes school ad plans State Senator Rchard Allen, Republcan Senate Educaton Commttee member, has expressed sharp crtcsm of. competng school ad plans before.the Senate. The Senate Appropratons Commttee reported a school fnance plan devsed by Senate Educaton Charman Jack Faxon (D-Detrot). It s vastly dfferent than the formula passed earler by the House. Allen says both are poorly conceved and s pushng a plan of hs own n Senate debate. The Faxon formula was conceved solely to beneft Detrot, Allen charged. He quoted a hgh-level member of the Department of Educaton as sayng the bll s a "nonformula", snce a majorty of the state's school dstrcts don't ft wthn t due to a "cushon" guarantee to mnmze the loss n ad. The plan junks the tradtonal formula based on number of students and level of local revenue; substtutng fundng based on educaton costs, wth dstrcts havng the hghest costs recevng the most state ad. "It's lke gvng the purse to the slowest horse n the race," sad Allen. "You can't expect the next race to be run very fast. Lkewse you can antcpate a school system based Gen Tel acceptng on maxmzng the growth of drectory chgnges ^ ^ 1, *,, the House-passed formula, sponsored by Representatve Francs Spanola (D-Corunna). It's man fault," he sad, "s that t's based on encouragng school dstrcts nto another round of mllage ncreases to fully partcpate n state ad. "The Allen plan seeks to reward school dstrcts for squeezng the most out of ther mllage, rather than squeezng the most out of ther.taxpayers," he sad. "Taxpayers have already had a 10% ncrease due to the fnal state equalzaton process. We should not turn around and try to force a mllage ncrease on top of that, as 1 beleve the Spanola plan does. Ths s certanly not the year to push for educatonal enrchment; t's a year to concentrate on basc educaton. "I've taken the same dollar fgure n the House bll and reallocated the funds' to acheved 'basc grant' approach, as opposed to an 'enrchment' General Telephone customers n the communtes of FoWler- Pewamo, Maple Rapds, Mur and St. Johns who wsh to make correctons or addtons to the telephone drectory should contact the company's servce offce now, accordng to Norm Krevns, dvson manager for General Telephone.

"Ths formula tends to favor many small cty, town and rural outstate dstrcts and surprsngly, s also better for Detrot than the House plan. The House plan favors large ctes (except Detrot) and populous, wealthy suburbs n metropoltan areas," Allen sad. The present state "powerequalzng" formula guarantees school dstrcts $39.00 per chld for each mll t leves, up to a maxmum of 25, The Spanola "enrchment" approach ncreases the lmt for full state ad to 27 mlls, n a two part formula. It guarantees $42.40 per chld for up to 20 mlls, and $38.25 for 20 to 27 mlls. Ths then, tends to favor those dstrcts whch are already over 25 mlls, whle forcng those at the state average of 23 to ether rase mllage or lose potental state ad. The Allen "basc grant" approach freezes the mllage celng at 25, but boosts the amount of the state guarantee from $39.00 per chld for each mll to $ The plan seeks to promote qualty educaton whle holdng back the mllage spral. "Unless we move n ths drecton, we're deludng the taxpayers wth our polcy of promotng equal educatonal opportunty. And the state would be forcng local dstrcts to absorb a greater share of ncreased costs. The taxpayer already has the 10% equalzaton ncrease. The Legslature s only talkng about a 4.5 to 5% ncrease. Dependng on the school dstrct, the local share of the ncrease could be as much as 75.%, plus any mllage ncrease passage of the Spanola plan mght force. "That doesn't strke me as equal treatment," Allen added. "In my opnon both the Spanola formula and the Faxon formula tend to undermne our state's goals of equal educaton opportunty and maxmum effcency. We need a new drecton." A1C Conger SAULT STE.

The House has passed the Senate verson and sent the bll to the Governor, where t faces the threat of a veto. I am deeply concerned that we mght not have a law when school begns ths fall. School strkes have been techncally llegal snce However, teachers have been strkng for several years under the provson of the Holland decson. IReftmt fam t&e cttfufo That Mchgan Supreme Court rulng has been nterpreted to mean that school strkes may be enjoned pnly upon a showng of volence, breach of peace or rreparable njury to the publc health, safety or welfare. The recent rulng does not change the crtera for enjonng strkes n the slghtest. If no bll s passed by the Legslature, courts wll stll need a showng of rreparable njury before grantng njunctons. The Crestwood decson dealt only wth the queston of frng or otherwse dscplnng employees who go on strke, contrary to the exstng law. The decson" sad that such employees may be dsmssed, wth the pror hearng requred under tenure-law procedures, provded the board that dsmsses them has not barganed n bad fath and further provded that the teachers can be replaced wthout dsruptng the schools so that even greater njury s done to the educaton of chldren. The practcal effect of ths s that n spte of the present surplus of teachers, t would be mpossble for large dstrcts such as Detrot, or for any dstrct employng more than 100 teachers, to respond to a strke by mass frngs. For small dstrcts, the threat of beng fred wll be a very real threat for teachers, and would probably cause them to settle for whatever they could get wthout wthholdng ther servces. However, n the larger dstrcts t would be mpossble to fre everyone. Wthout legslaton,-the.publc and chldren wll have no more protecton aganst prolonged and btter strkes n the larger dstrcts than was afforded n the past. It s dsappontng that Governor MUlken refuses to support teacher strke legslaton. The bll before hm allows for a two week strke after September 1 wth a loss of pay. It s nterestng to pont out, that whle the Governor s rejectng ths proposal, he supported a bll durng the 1974 sesson whch allowed a sx week strke wth no loss of pay. As I have sad all along, t s crucal to the educaton for our chldren that we have legslaton on the books by ths 4$ttM> *wd Gedenfotf Clnton County 4-H'ers recently attended the Natonal 4-H Ctzenshp Short Course n our Naton's Captol.

Most of us obvously have the nave belef that everybody n busness s makng a potful..._ Sure, busness must make a proft to survve. These ofays more" and more busnesses are falng to produce that proft, and they are gong out of busness. Anyone can mentally survey hs own hometown to verfy that fact. Proft s the ncentve that makes the wheels of busness go around; the wheels of busness must go around or there won't be goods or servces for. the publc to consume ard enjoy; and producng those goods or servces s what provdes the jobs that the publc needs for ther very exstence. All the trends also show that one of the great growth ndustres n ths country today s government; at all levels, government s provdng drectly more employment year after year. That's a trend that can.become dangerous; unless government produces tangble goods of some sort, t sooner or later wll have to swallow those parts of the economy whch do produce goods n order to mantan ts bloated payrolls. That wll mean a controlled economy and socalsm; t has happened elsewhere, and t can happen here, too. Allen amendment would allow challengers to spend more than the ncumbent opponents Chargng that the pendng poltcal reform bll s weak n essental areas, State Senator Rchard Allen has offered a seres of strengthenng amendments. Allen s a Republcan cosponsor of the reform measure, but says t allows "back-door" expendtures over lmts set n the bll and strongly favors ncumbent canddates. A major Allen amendment, sure to face hostlty n debate, seeks to offset the ncumbent advantage by allowng challengers to spend 50% more than offce-holders seekng re- ' electon. "Ths seeks to make up for such nherent advantages as tax-pad malng prvleges, ongong press coverage and other, edges enjoyed by ncumbents, lmtng all canddates to the same spendng lmts can, only tend to perpetuate those of us already n offce, "I may wsh to perpetuate myself n offce," Allen admtted, "but I'd lke to thnk I could do t wthout unfar advantages over those who mght challenge my performance." Allen sad the bll allows canddates to exceed spendng lmts by 20%, by permttng an extra allowance for solctng campagn funds. Allen called t a loophole whch seeks to delude the publc and moved to strke t from the bll, thus forcng adherence to the stated spendng lmts for each type of campagn. Allen also sought to sgnfcantly tghten regulatons governng last-mnute contrbutons. The bll states that between the fnal pre-electon.reportng deadlne (18 days before the electon) and electon day, canddates must make a specal dsclosure of eleventh hour donatons over $500. Allen wants that lmt slced to $100. Fnally, Allen offered a seres of amendments to outlaw nondrect contrbutons from socalled "poltcal acton" commttees formed by organzatons. Ths would prohbt labor unons, professonal organzatons, ndustry assocatons and other groups from collectng dues or fees from members and dstrbutng them to canddates. "I don't beleve an organzaton should have the rght to make contrbutons wthout the express consent of all members of the group," Allen. sad. "Under ths amendment, all contrbutons would have to come drectly from an ndvdual to a specfc canddate. "I stll ntend to support poltcal reform, even If these strengthenng amendments are turned down by my colleagues," Allen sad. "Even wth ts flaws, I thnk the overall concepts n the bll wll encourage greater publc confdence and that's desrable. "Nonetheless, I thnk the bll has some loopholes you could march a labor unon through, and I thnk we should try to correct them."

On Selectons t s mportant to select the proper foods at the rght stage of maturty; the stage when they 'would be best when eaten fresh. Some varetes freeze more successfully then others because they retan ther color, flavor, and texture better. Foods, generally not frozen, are green onons, salad greens, radshes, or tomatoes (except as juce or for use n cooked foods).) Economcal Use of the Freezer Costs of ownng and operatng a home freezer vary wth the rate of turnover of foods, electrcty used, costs of packagng materals, repars, and the orgnal cost of the freezer. One of the most mportant factors n the economcal use of your freezer s to make sure that all foods should be used wthn a year and that the space n the freezer s used wsely. The hgher rate of turnover,' the lower the cost per pound of frozen food. Operatng costs per pound of food are less f the freezer s kept at least three-fourths full at all tmes. Packagng A good qualty food may become unacceptable f mproperly packaged. The purpose of packagng s to keep food from dryng out and to preserve food value, flavor, color, and pleasng testure. Contaners should be easy to seal, waterproof aganst leakage, durable, and must not become brttle or cracked at. ' low temperature.

Lds should be carefully pressed or screwed nto poston. Bags may be sealed by pressng the edges wth a Warm ron; frst place a pece of paper or heat-resstant materal over the edges to be sealed. On Fllng Contaners Never fll contaners too full because t may result n breakng the seal, spllage, and loss of mosture and flavor. Remove all ar; fasten or close artght. FREEZING VEGETABLES Blanch or Scald all Vegetables except possble green peppers. Ths s a most mportant step as the heatng of vegetables slows or stops the acton of enzymes. Up untl the tme vegetables are pcked, enzymes help them grow and mature. After pckng they cause loss of flavor and color. Use one gallon of bolng water for each pound of prepared vegetable. Lower food gently and begn countng tme mmedately. When blanchng tme s up, quckly cool by plungng nto a large quantty of ce cold water. If Vegetables are not Heated Long Enough the enzymes contnue to be actve even durng the frozen storage perod. The result s off-flavor, dscoloraton, or toughenng. (Corn on the cob s a common example). Heatng also wlts, or softens, vegetables and make them easer to pack, requrng less packagng space. FREEZING FRUITS, Generally, prepare fruts for* freezng the 1 same way' youprepare t for servng fresh. * Chloe Padgtt Peel, trm, pt and slce, crush or puree enough frut tofllonly a few contaners at a tme. Some fruts can be packed wthout sweeteneng, but most have better texture and flavor f packed n sugar or syrup. How you pack frut depends on how you plan to use t, Frut may also be packed wthout sweeteneng. REMEMBER Freeze foods as soon as they are packed. Put them nto the freezer a few packages at a tme. Put no more food nto a home freezer than wll freeze wthn 24 hours. Usually ths wll be about (a rule of thumb) two or three pounds per cubc foot of freezer capacty. Freeze at 0 degrees or below. For quck freezng, place packages' aganst the coldest cols or walls and leave a lttle space between packages. Later move the packages and restack close together (to conserve space). Remember, overloadng slows down the rate of freezng, and foods that freeze too slowly may lose qualfy or spol. Fnal Touch label each package wth the name of the contents and the date. Use a wde ndelble markng pen on the package or a strp of freezer tape. Devse some sort of nventory sheet to help you keep track of what s gong n and out of the freezer. Frequently check freezer cords, plug-n, and temperature recordng for good operatng condtons. Freezng s a way of preservng food means subjectng each sealed - from - the - ar contaner of food to the sharpest cold we cap deally below zero, The colder the temperature, the longer the tme the food wll hold satsfactorly. Remember freezng does not kll the organsms that cause spolage,as cannng does; t merely stops ther-growth temporarly. Our thanks'tb Jean Yoder'fof' ths nformaton. Check on crop dryng fuel supples Farmers are encouraged to contact ther local suppler to determne the status of fuel delveres for the balance of 1975, accordng to Dorn Dehl, State Executve Drector of the Mchgan State Agrcultural Stablzaton and Conservaton Servce offce. In vew of tghtenng natural gas supples and ncreased corn producton throughout Mchgan and the mdwest, farmers should be checkng on fuel supples for crop dryng. Accordng to Dehl, there s not expected to be a shortage of natural gas ths year, but curtalment could result n less than requred amounts beng avalable n some areas. Agrcultural producton does not have the hghest prorty for natural gas allocaton, Dehl ponted out. In addton, natural gas supples to Mchgan are beng reduced and the prce s contnung to ncrease. Home heat and resdental use have the hghest prorty at the present tme. Ths dctates the supples comng nto the State of Mchgan wll be frst used for that purpose. Accordng to Dehl, there s no assurance that ncreased supples of natural gas wll be avalable for agrcultural consumpton durng the crop dryng perod. Farmers who have the capablty should be consderng other crop dryng felds such as propane or fuel ol, advsed Dehl, Those who doot have the capablty of converson should have a commtment for gettng natural gas or consder alternatves to fall back on n the event natural gas s not avalable to meet ther requrements. Farmers may contact ther local county ASCS offce f they have any addtonal questons regardng avalablty of fuels for agrcultural use.

Half the property tax of eght Mchgan farms could have been saved f the 1974 Farmland and Open Space Preservaton Act had begun 10 years ago. "To fnd out future effects of the act we looked back 10 years to see what would have happened f the law had been n effect n 195. We chose eght farms to study on the bass of type and locaton wth no attempt to compare proftablty," says Dr. Ralph E. Hepp and Stephen L. Ott, Mchgan State Unversty agrcultural economsts. The act, whch allows land owners tax relef on farmland left undeveloped for 10 years, would have saved an average of 47 percent on property tax on the farms. Average savngs per farm durng the past 10 years was $7,401. Aug, 7: Feld Day -- M.S.U. Bean & Beet Research Farm. Aug. 7 & 8: Dstrct 4-H Softball Playoffs ~ Ingham County.

Though dary farm B had comparatvely low household ncome, property taxes were also low and the tax credt mnor. Cash gran farm A was the only case farm that dd not receve a tax credt. Ths case combned a large household ncome wth low property taxes, resultng n no beneft under the Act. Dary farm A was used to project taxes and tax credt receved nto the future. Three percent ncreases, 5,10 and 15, compounded annually were used to project taxes nto the future. Even wth a household ncome of $30,000 by the year 1984, tax credt receved would be over one-half of property taxes pad and up to 82 percent at 15 percent ncrease per year.

The tax agreement helps farmers close to urban areas by provdng tax relef n a form that does not requre payment of specal nonfarm type assessments. Accordng to Hepp and Ott, the greatest dsadvantage s that the state tax commsson apprasal becomes the bass for the tax assessment. Where local apprasers have not kept up wth the rse n land values, some farmers wll fnd ther property tax hgher. Ths would effect tax credt subject to repayment f the program was not renewed. However, I doubt f ths [s a vald agreement aganst eftry nto the agreement n Clnton County because a detaled apprasal ncludng every parcel of property n the county s now beng made by an ndependent frm of experts.

13 88th Dstrct The long agony of legslatve battlng regardng the teacherstrke bll s now over. After about fve months n the House In varous forms, and over one month n the Senate, a bll whch s supposed to lmt teacher strkes s fnally on ts way to the Governor. He has 'sad he wll veto ths bll; by the tme you read ths, he may have already done so. Why wll the Governor veto a measure whch was supposed to, answer one of the most vexng problems of our tme? Because the bll does not really solve anythng. In fact, t could very well create more problems than we already have f t s allowed to become law. Teacher strkes today are n defance of a state law whch bans strkes by publc employees. Judges and other local offcals, always conscous of the unons' power at the polls, have rarely had the forttude to enforce ths law. Thousands upon thousands of studentschool days have been lost through llegal strkes. And when all s sad and done, there have rarely been any penaltes for ether the teachers or the school boards. Only the chldren have suffered. In January, many parent groups demanded.that the Legslature deal wth ths problem. A specal b-partsan commttee held hearngs and came up wth a far but tough bll. Then the varous specalnterest pressure groups got gong, led by those from Labor organzatons, and the Democrat leadershp eventually caved n'to these pressure groups and agreed to the weakened bll whch now has been passed and sent to the Governor. As ths bll now stands, t would allow "free" strkes of up. to two weeks wth no economc 'penaltes for ether sde, and another two weeks n whch the strkes could go on' wth economc penaltes for both the teachers and the school boards. The "free" strke perod can hardly be vewed as somethng whch would dscourage a strke. But more than that, there s the fundamental queston of I legally allowng teachers to strke at all: f they have the rght to strke, that rght can hardly be dened to polce, fremen, santaton workers and any other publc employees n ' Mchgan. Strkes would undoubtedly lead to hgher and hgher wage settlements, And that would nevtably lead to hgher and hgher taxes for you. I ask you, s ths any way to run a government? Apparently, the Democrats thnk so. by Stanley Powell State Representatve BUSINESS TAX After a long and arduous passage through the House, and a shorter tme n the Senate, the Governor's proposal to revse our system of busness taxaton s now n a jont House-Senate conference commttee to.ron out dfferences between the versons of the bll approved by the two houses. There are some dfferences between what was orgnally proposed by the Governor and what has resulted after consderaton by the House and Senate. The orgnal tax rate was to be 2.0 percent; t s now 2.4 percent. The orgnal bll proposed a tax break for busnesses whose labor costs made up more than 75 percent of ther tax base; that has been lowered to 5 percent. There was orgnally a total exempton for all busnesses wth a tax base below $15,000; that floor has been rased to $32,000. There have also been' amendments benefttng food, transportaton, constructon and nsurance concerns, as well as a break for busnesses losng money. Because of these and the other revsons, the proposed tax rate has jumped 0.4 percent, or 20 percent above. the orgnal fgure of 2.0 percent. As you probably know, ths new Sngle Busness Tax wll replace eght exstng Mchgan busness taxes. Because these eght taxes do not apply to all busnesses, and because ths new tax- wll, some busnesses wll end up payng more n taxes than they have before, whle others wll pay less. The total revenue produced by ths tax, however, wll, we are told,'not be any dfferent -t s sad not to be an overall tax ncrease. One of the strongest attractons for passng ths bll has been the fact that, under the changed collecton procedures t wll set up, the state wll get a $180 mllon "wndfall" n ths quarter, wthout whch the budget would_be very much out of balance. Despte ms feature whch wll ease the state's cash flow problems, I could not brng myself to vote for ths bll. MOVING TRANSPORTATION The House ths week approved two separate measures whch should mprove the long-' range outlook for transportaton systems n Mchgan. Both blls have already been approved by the Senate and should be sgned by the Governor n the near future. The frst bll authorzes the sale of $150 mllon n bonds to help fnance the constructon of transt facltes lke subways : S & H FARMS: S N.US-27& FRENCH ROAD v S ST. JOHNS - ' PH I WANTS TO OFFER!

Added to ths would be 1 $30 mllon borrowed from the State Trunklne Fund. Together, these amounts wll qualfy Mchgan for about $700 mllon n Federal ad for transportaton programs. About half of ths money wll go to fnance projects n 'southeastern Mchgan. Whle some people may complan that ths shortchanges the rest of the state, t should be ponted out that that & where the greatest need for mass transt les; after all, about half of Mchgan's populaton lves n the tr-county Detrot area alone. The second bll we passed authorzes the State Hghway Commsson to reorganrze the ralroad system n Mchgan. You may have heard of the - proposed federal plan to consoldate many ral lnes and abandon others, wth much of the abandoned trackage n Mchgan. Ths bll s an attempt to remedy that stuaton. The State of Mchgan could buy portons of ral property by condemnaton or purchase, under terms of ths bll. The state would most defntely not get nto actually runnng the ralroads, but t could buy, mproveand "rent out" exstng ralroad trackage n Mchgan. If these ralroad lnes' are allowed to wther and de, many areas n northern and western Mchgan whch depend on the rals for ther freght and farm busness could be economcally crppled, wth many thousands of jobs lost. Both of these blls were proposed earler n the year by Governor Mllken, so I'm sure he wll approve the fnal versons that come to hs desk. BUDGETBOGGLE. We're over a month nto the new fscal year and we stll haven't managed to pass many of the necessary appropratons blls yet. State departments are operatng on a day-to-day fundng bass under tems of a "contnuaton" bll passed earler as a stopgap measure. The'fscal year begns July 1. That-s-when the new budget starts, and that s when all the appropratons bll should have been passed. Ths year, there were no appropratons blls that had been approved by both houses by that date. Snce that s the prncpal duty of the Legslature - to provde for the operaton of state government - t would seem that we are shrkng our duty to some degree. In that respect, I must pont out that the Democrats hold a majorty n both the House and the Senate, and when they have been n control they have rarely f ever managed to do ther duty on. tme. The last tme the Republcans controlled both houses, n 197-8, acton on all the budget blls was completed by May.

For calendar 1975, the Department of State Hghways and Transportaton wll use some 307,200 gallons of- whte pant and 145,700 gallons of yellow pant, mxed wth 2.5 mllon pounds of tny glass reflectve beads.

TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO THIS MONTH By Professor Robert E. Brown Department of Hstory Mchgan State Unversty August of 1775, lke July, was relatvely quet as far as mltary actvty was concerned, but enough occurred n other ways to ndcate that Brtshers and Amercans had not settled ther dfferences. The Battle of Lexngton and Concord n Aprl, the takng of Fort Tconderoga by Ethan Allen and hs Green Mountan Boys n May and the Battle of Bunker Hll n June provded lttle evdence that the Amercans ntended,to submt to England as Kng George III ntended.. So the Kng rejected the "Olve Branch" petton of the Contnental Congress as a document drafted by an llegal, dsloyal body. On August 23 he ssued a proclamaton brandng Amercans as rebels and all persons who aded them as trators. On August 27 he followed ths wth an embargo on shpments of war stores to the colones, an act that came months too late. In effect, however, George III had authored a Brtsh Declaraton of Amercan Independence wth hs proclamaton of rebellon. Meanwhle, the Amercan army under Washngton had the Brtsh army bottled up n Boston. If the Brtsh were not wllng to rsk an open battle wth the Amercans after Bunker Hll, nether was the Amercan army ready for another effort to 'dslodge the Brtsh. In Vrgna, Governor Dunmore, now aboard* a Brtsh man-of-war for safety,' contnued hs depredatons along the coasts and rvers, wttr Vrgnans under Patrck Henry bendng every effort to thwart hs actons. Dunmore clamed that he could reduce Vrgna "to perfect submsson" wth a few hundred well-armed troops. He dd receve a small renforcement, but the offcers expressed' surprse that the Governor had not enlsted a large number of Loyalsts as expected. In contrast, the Vrgna revolutonary conventon was able to rase some 3,500 troops and voted 300,000 pounds to support them. Durng August, wshful thnkng and lack of 'rapd communcatons no doubt, AUGUST 1775, ^ contrbuted to the many rumors that flew thck and fast. From London came one that an Amercan army of 50,000, after savng all the women and chldren, had burned Boston. Then came news that General Gage had surrendered at Boston and that hs offcers dspared of success. Brtshers also heard that a vast Spansh armada was headed ether for the colones or for Ireland, and that France was preparng to jon the Amercans. On the other sde, Amercans were told that London rejoced over Lexngton and Concord, that a huge mob surrounded Parlament demandng repeal of all ant-amercan acts, that frends n England had hssed the proclamaton of rebellon and that Lord Mayor North had fled to France and government was n the hands of Amerca's frends, Edmund Burke and John Wlkes. It was a heady fare, but where dd truth end and fcton begn? Not all was war or rumors of war, however, as cvlans contrbuted ther share to ongong events. Vrgnans gave loyalst Anthony Warwck "a fashonable sut of tar and feathers, beng the most popular badge of dstncton for men of hs complexon," then 'placed hm on hs horse and chased hm out of town through a shower of rotten eggs. There was even a hnt of women's lberaton n what was mostly a man's world. Sarah Halam, abandoned wfe of actor Lews Halam, demonstrated her. ndependence by openng a dancng ^school. for.grls m Wllamsburg. And"on beng lost n the woods and comng upon some frendly Indans, the Englshman Ncholas Cresswell reported n hs Journal for August 2, that he was seduced (not too reluctantly) by a pretty Indan grl. If August 31, 1775, was so uneventful that ndentured servant-tutor John Harrower dd not bother to make an entry n' hs Journal, t was nevertheless the last August that Amercans would experence as ctzens of the Brtsh Empre.

SouXtvt factod Attew Frst off I want you to know I'm gong to support. Common Cause's poltcal reform proposal. Then I'm.gong tospent the rest of the' artcle tellng you what's wrong wth t! The fnancal dsclosure provsons, whle justfed n the case of State legslators, are extended to too many other offcals. I thnk to requre school board members or townshp offcals to report ther fnancal holdngs wll merely serve to dscourage some hghly qualfed ndvduals from servng. The regulaton of campagn contrbutons has loopholes large enough to march a labor unon through, Though corporatons are prohbted from contrbutng and ndvduals must be lsted, unons wll stll be able to use dues money for poltcal purposes WITHOUT THE EXPRESS APPROVAL OF ALL THE INDIVIDUALS PAYING THOSE DUES! THE LIMITS on total spendng for a campagn do not allow a challenger any more than an ncumbent. Wth the natural advantage of publc exposure and publc pad malngs for the ncumbent the challenger should be allowed to spend more. He wll have to f he hopes to equalze total exposure and get hs message across, across, I don't thnk the lobbyst reportng provsons wll work. The frst ffty dollars spent by one lobbyst for one account on one legslator s exempt. Many lobbyst work for more than one account (e.g. the race tracks, the dary farmers and the chropractors) and can smply spread the bll around. Also, f you don't have to keep track of and report the frst dollar how can anyone tell when you get to ffty? I am suspcous of the Commsson set up to enforce fte/tont fan Ufa Senate the act and the bureaucracy necessary to admnster the complex detaled provsons. Addtonal costs to the State are estmated at $00,000. There s an overall antdemocratc, antcvl lbertes tenor to the bll. Almost the suggeston that the democratc process s nherently evel and that those who practce t cannot safely be gven all -the rghts afforded other members of our socety. SO I THINK changes should be made n the bll. And I thnk August,197J5 the publc needs to begn to recognze two thngs. Poltcs s no more nferenty evel than busness, educaton, relgon, or other aspects of our socety. Secondly, the calber of the partcpants and ther actvtes wll not be materally rased by anythng except more publc scrutny of and partcpaton n the poltcal process. But n the end I'll vote for the bll, Anythng that wll help a lttle to restore publc fath n our democracy s vtally needed at ths'tme. Clnton County Country Club golf standngs W L S. Bakta-E.

It s the frst general rate ncrease for the company snce 1971 and only the second n 15 years. The utlty presdent expressed dsappontment n the order, pontng out the total s approxmately $3 mllon or nearly 25 percent less than the company needs. The new rates wll provde approxmately $9.9 mllon n revenue for the company whch had requested $12.8 mllon n ts applcaton fled last November.. -.*>M' General Telephone wll realze less than $4.8 mllon f>f the total ncrease after state and federal taxes. "We are dsapponted that the Commsson dd not allow the earnngs we showed are requred," Retze sad. He sad the company would have to study the detals of the rate order before t could determne any further course of acton. Techncally, the rate order wll allow General Telephone to earn an overall rate of return of 8.9 percent, slghtly hgher than that authorzed by the MPSC n 1971 t (The overall rate of return establshed n 1971 was 8.4 percent.) Retze ponted out, however, that because of nflaton and resultng cost ncreases, General ^Telephone earnngs have not approached the level authorzed by the MPSC n "The ncrease we requested was necessary to help us combat the mpact of nflaton and the unprecedented hgh cost of nterest on bonds and shortterm loans," Retze sad. The company's applcaton for new rates was based on.the nvestment and expenses the company had n ts rate base for the year endng September 30, "Our costs of dong busness are even hgher today due to contnued nflatonary pressures," Retze sad. Specfc detals of the rate order were not mmedately avalable to the company. Retze sad, however, that customers wll be advsed of ther specfc new rates wth an nsert to be ncluded wth customer blls as soon as possble followng the effectve date of the ncrease.

Ernest Spvey of Msssspp, Melvn Gen. Tel. gets rate ncrease, but less than requested tween $.75 and?1.10 per month, dependng on the "rate group" of the partcular exchange. Telephone "rate groups" are based on the number of telephones a customer can call wthout the applcaton of long dstance charges. General Telephone has nne such "rate groups." The new rates are based on the nvestment and expenses for the year endng September 30,1974. Durng that tme, the company had nvested an addtonal $13 mllon n servce mprovements and expanson throughout ts operatng area. IMPROVEMENTS CITED Among the most sgnfcant mprovements made durng that tme were; tthe completon of a lo-vear, "$20 mllon program to reduce all rural lnes forfourpartes or less; the ntroducton of a program to provde addtonal one- and twoparty servce n urban areas; and expanded "base rate" areas to provde urban servce to an addtonal 8,800 customers. Expanson durng that perod ncluded the addton of more than 9,900 telephones. Retze ponted out that each new customer requres an addtonal nvestment of more than $1,100 n telephone plant at today's costs to provde servce. General Telephone now has an average gross nvestment of $759 for everytelephoneserved. 'TAXES, INTEREST, WAGESUP "Between 1970 and 1973, our property taxes ncreased more than 2 percent /from $5.1 to $.5 mllon), the nterest we pad on bonds and short-term' bank loans ncreased over 30 percent (from $8.5 to $11.1 mllon), and salares and wages ncreased over 42 percent (from $25'2 to $3 mllon)," the utlty executve sad. "We want to contnue our large scale mprovement and expanson programs, but we need addtonal annual revenue to help us do. so," he sad. General Telephone's servce mprovement and expanson programs are fnanced largely by nvestor dollars, and not from dollars pad by customers for servce, Retze ponted out. NEED FOR INVESTMENT TOLD "Customer dollars pad for telephone servce go toward the cost of provdng that servce and a return on the dollars nvested n the company," he explaned. "Therefore, we must earn a return on nvestment whch s good enough to attract new dollars each #ear f we're to contnue to expand and mprove our servce." Durng the past two years, General Telephone has taken a number of nternal steps to trm controllable expenses, ncludng a seres of "Performance Improvement Programs" whch have accounted for* over $3 mllon n reduced annual costs snce 1971, Here we are wth all the news from the Rvard Nursng Home.
