Lowell Police Chief Avery Block, on the right, emphasizes the point of all motorists stopping whenever a school bus flashes its stop signal s both in the city and on rural highways. Bill Wright, senior member of Lowell school bus drivers, with 13 years behind the wheel, left, is well aware of the need for protecting the nearly 1,5M children, who ride Lowell school buses every day. Lowell's 1! school buses travel over 1,000 miles every day. Drivers are required to attend special driving schools and pass a physical examination. Bus transportation has be- come big business to the field of education. Last Tuesday, when the Lowell Area Schools started its new year of 1964-65, nineteen regular bus runs had been established and approxi- mately twelve hundred boys and girls rode to school from the rural areas. Three new sixty- four passenger buses have been added to the bus fleet and a- nother bus is expected to be delivered during this month. This will make a total bus fleet of twenty-three buses avail- able for regular or special runs and stand-by use. Safety becomes an important factor in the transportation sys- tem. During the summer mon- ths, Joe Green the full time bus mechanic, has been servic- ing the bus fleet. Such work as brake and clutch repairs, grease and oil changing and tire realinement takes up the majority of his time. The local garages also are used where special repairs a r e nec- essary. Bus drivers too are important in the safety program. Before school each year a two day, eight hour school is held in Kent County for beginning bus drivers. Four of the local school drivers attended the school, held this year at North Oakview Ele- mentary School in Grand Rap- ids. During the school year, four other class periods of three hours each are held and is a requirement for our bus driv- ers. On March 10, the area drivers will meet at the Lowell Senior High School. Also dur- ing the school year local meet- ings are held with Roger Buck bus supervisor, in charge. One such meeting was held before school started this fall. With this article is a picture of a school bus. showing the words printed on the back of all Michigan school buses, "Stop on Signal When Bus Stops." Discussing bus safety is Lowell Chief of Police Avery Black and bus driver, William Wright. Of special interest is the lo- cal ordinance requiring all traf- fic to stop, from both ways, when a bus stops within the City limits. The major stop is in the area of St. Mary's and Richards Park, where rural children attending St. Mary's School are let off. Special safety programs are discussed with their children by the bus drivers and several times during the year emergen- cy drills are held. One such drill is the evacuating the bus through the rear door. On the signal the back door is opened and two boys, stand- ing on the ground, assist the students jumping out. Depend- ing on the age and number a bus can be emptied between 35 and 75 seconus. Parents bringing their child- ren to school are asked to help in the school's safety program. At the Senior High School traf- fic should use Lincoln Lake and Suffolk Street; do not use Amity Street. Also parents are asked not to use the Foreman Road, front entrance, as this has been reserved for bus traffic between 8:15 and 8:40 and 3:30 and 3:34. Permission has also been granted, in the past, by the City Commission to close Lafay- ette Sireet during school hours, because of student safety and bus congestion. Another safety program is the Safety Patrol under the di- rection of Vem Morse. Junior High School Principal Outstand- ing community response has been shown to this program and work done in the Junior High School students is appreciated. The Lowell Child Study Club, in cooperation with the local ser- vice clubs, holds a spring pic- nic for the Safety Patrol, the American Legion gives a roller skating pass each month to the patrol members and during the cold winter mornings, the "hot lunch program" furnishes hct chocolate.

High game and series for the men was rolled by the "old pro" Guy Quiggle. The word "old" can be used with reser- vation to describe "Guy" only in terms of years, but certainly not in his ability to bowl. He was able to gamer a fine 592 series and a high game of 223. For the women it was Gert Watson with a fine 191 game, and Bev Hoist with 475. King Milling Co. men's team started off with a bang, bowl- ing high team game and series 919 and 2649. which is good bowling, considering two mem- bers of the team had 132 and 137 games (names are being withheld).

On September 12, Hunt will start electronics training with the Air Force at Chanute Field in Illinois. The former football and wrest- ling star at Lowell, makes his home with his grandmother, Mrs. Leona Hunt, Route 2, Low- ell. "Showboat" will not sail in 1965 if the recommendation of the Board of Directors is ac- cepted at the annual meeting on Monday, September 14. The future of Showboat was fully discussed by the board at their last two meetings and In view of Its losses for the past three years, there Is no other way to handle this annual sum- mer event. Final figures presented to the board have revealed a loss for 1964 of $4,000: the operating costs of the '64 show were over $29,500 with income of only $25,500. Dropping Showboat for 1965 is in reality a nice way of say- ing that Showboat is dead! On- ly a miracle will bring Show- boat as we knew it back in 1966 or any other year. The board, in making its de- cision, realized that there is a s .ail chance that the summer event staged every year since 1932 with the exception of the war years, can be revised. All the equipment in the way of seats, stage, etc., are to be kept until after next year. The boat which is reaching a stage whero little can be salvaged is expected to be broken up and removed from the river. Annual Meeting to Act Final action on the board's decision will come next Mon- day at the annual meeting. This meeting is open to all members of the American Leg- ion and the Lowell Chamber of Commerce. The Board in its recommen- dation to the annual meeting have agreed that the cash as- sets of the corporation be left intact in the bank until some future time when the final fate of Showboat will be decided.

Coaches Charles Pierce and Gary Rivers have hopes this yer»r of end- ing lis string of 2nd place conference finishes, which have plagued the team for the past 3 years. While the 1964 Lowell eleven has an experienced backfield and veteran end. it is short on experience in the center. All of last year's offensive regulars in guards, tackle and center spots have graduated, but there are a host of ambitious young men who arc battling for these posi- tions. Leading contenders for regu- lar offensive line positions finds 180-lb. Steve Ayres at center. Dick Rollins and Tony Myers are presently leading the guards with Joe Melle, Brad Fonger and Mike Goggins breathing down their necks.

Russ Phillips. 6 ft.. 180-lbs . is hold- ing on to the other tackle posi- tion. Dave Wessell and A1 Wit- tenbach are the next two besi: prospects for these spots. At end veteran. Duane Mclv- er. 6 ft. 5 in. 202-ibs., has the left side position; on the right side Mel Byrne, 5 ft. 9 in., 162- Ibs., appears to have the quick moves rnd the good hands to grab those passes. Kurt Beim- ers. 6 ft. 2 in., 170-lbs., is a strong contender for the end position on offensive and has worked into the regular spot defensively. The backfield besides the two co-captains has Bob Elzinga. 6 ft. 2 in.. 158-lbs., handling the ball well at quarterback and Russ Videan. 6 ft., 150-lbs., at the right halfback position. He handled as a regular last year. For reserve strength. Pat Hoag. 5 ft. 4 in.. 128-lbs., is fast and shifty and Dan Flnkler, 5 ft. 8 in., 150-lbs., is a hard nmning back. Defensive Team All the members from last year's defensive unit are back with the exception of the four line men. McMahon and Kropf will play halfback; VanDyke, Videan and Finkler line back- ers; Beimcrs and Mclver ends. Nine men are battling for the defensive line positions. Besides ,the offensive guards and tack- les mentioned before. Denny Nugent, Gary Kropf. Jim Cook and Bob Englc have shown the greatest ability and effort. The Arrows will scrimmage with Hudsonville on Friday eve- ning here and the Junior Var- sity will go to Hudsonville for a scrimmage. The opening home game for the varsity is ac 8 p. m., Sep- tember 18 at Ionia; the JV squad plays Ionia at 4:15 in the afternoon. Forty years with local agencies It was 40 years ago this Sep- tember that William "Bill" Col- lins went to work for Oscar Rivette in the Dodge garage in the building under the Show- boat Stadium. Mr. Rivette was killed in a wrecker accident in February of 1925; Frank Gould took over management of the garage and the agency was soon moved to the present Lowell Engineering building. It stayed there until 1954 when Peter Speerstra open- ed his new building at the pres- ent location on West Main St. The Dodge agency is now op- erated by Jackson Motor Sales. During the four ownerships, Bill has worked as mechanic, bodyman, service manager and parts manager, through depres- sions, wars, good times and bad—from the time of the early cars to the modem automobile of today Is state finalist in 4-H club clothing show More than 250 girls, all county clothing winners, participated in the 49th annual Slate 4-H Club Show at Michigan State Univer- sity last Thursday. Birdie Lou Detmers. 15-year- old daughter of Mr. "and Mrs. Paul Detmers of Route 3. Low- ell. was selected as one of the state-wide finalists. Ann DargUS 16,' of Berrien Springs was the top winner in the competition. Her winning garment was a herringbone tweed suit of mustard and yel- low wool.

Johncock quit racing super modifieds in 1963 and became a sanctioned member of USAC (United States Automobile Club) taking over the cockpit of a sprint car. Slowly working his way up the list. Johncock made his biggest jump when he broke the world's speed record on a '.a-mile banked asphalt oval at Winchester, Indiana on July 12, 1964. Cutting Johnny White's rec- ord from 17.60 to 17.56 Gordy broke his own record by" requal- ifying at 17.51. Driving a "301" Chevrolet owned by Fetter Alum- inum of Louisville. Kentucky, he also broke the 8-lap record set in 1952. Takes Weinberger Offer Weinberger Homes of Ithaca, Michigan, owners of a "301" Chevrolet sprinter and "255" championship Offenhauser, sign- ed Johncock as their driver, fol- lowing his Winchester success: and Duane Glasgow, also of Hastings, was signed as the head mechanic. Still another gain, was his performance at the Milwaukee State Fair in August of this year, when he qualified to start in 21st place in a line up of professional drivers and work- ed his way to 9th place before being sidelined with mechanical difficulties. Looses Record The world's record slipped through^ Johncock's hands when Red Amick of the IMCA (In- ternational Motor Car Associa- tion). look the title when he qualified at 17.47, in late July. Making his second memorable appearance at Winchester on Sunday. September 6, Gordy shattered the world's record again by qualifying at 17.21 in the Weinberger Chevrolet. Still determined to go faster and set the record at a blistering pace. Gordy requalified at 17.18. which is an average of 104.768 miles per hour. In the first heat race of the afternoon, Johncock chased Bud Tinglestadt across the finish line to place seond. Wins Record Feature Averaging 93.03 miles per hour in the 30-lap feature, Johncock set another record by finishing the race, in first place in 9:08.20. According to statistical infor- mation. a rookie driver does not equal Johncock's success until he has driven the circuit for four or five years Johncock's experience in this type of rac- ing does not add up' to two full years. Although his past exper- iences in super modified rac- ing boosted his know how, it takes more than just that. A driver's experience mold- ed with a good handling and nmning car, and the stability to endure and know each track, can only add up to a winner. What lies ahead for Johncock is forseeable; Indianapolis, and a name which will stand out in the sports world. INSURANCE For your home, automobile, or business.

On September 12, Hunt will start electronics training with the Air Force at Chanute Field in Illinois.

The former football and wrest-ling star at Lowell, makes his home with his grandmother, Mrs. Leona Hunt, Route 2, Low-ell.

"Showboat" will not sail in 1965 if the recommendation of the Board of Directors is ac-cepted at the annual meeting on Monday, September 14.

The future of Showboat was fully discussed by the board at their last two meetings and In view of Its losses for the past three years, there Is no other way to handle this annual sum-mer event.

Final figures presented to the board have revealed a loss for 1964 of $4,000: the operating costs of the '64 show were over $29,500 with income of only $25,500.

Dropping Showboat for 1965 is in reality a nice way of say-ing that Showboat is dead! On-ly a miracle will bring Show-boat as we knew it back in 1966 or any other year.

The board, in making its de-cision, realized that there is a

s .ail chance that the summer event staged every year since 1932 with the exception of the war years, can be revised. All the equipment in the way of seats, stage, etc., are to be kept until after next year. The boat which is reaching a stage whero little can be salvaged is expected to be broken up and removed from the river.

Annual Meeting to Act Final action on the board's

decision will come next Mon-day at the annual meeting.

This meeting is open to all members of the American Leg-ion and the Lowell Chamber of Commerce.

The Board in its recommen-dation to the annual meeting have agreed that the cash as-sets of the corporation be left intact in the bank until some future time when the final fate of Showboat will be decided.

LOWELL TOWNSHIP BOARD TO MEET SEPTEMBER 8

The Lowell Township Board meeting for the month of Sep-tember only will be held Sep-tember 's. instead of the 7th be-cause of Labor Day.

Dolores J . Collins, C20-22 Lowell Twp. Clerk

The two strong running backs, co captalns of the Lowell High School football team, are Paul Kropf. No. 21. G^t., 2-ln., 2041b. fullback, and Mike McMahon, No. 35. 6-ft.. I9l-lb. half-back. Both these boys have played varsity football for two years and McMahon led In scoring on th^ '63 team. Coaches Charles Pierce and Gary Rivers have hopes this yer»r of end-ing lis string of 2nd place conference finishes, which have plagued the team for the past 3 years.

While the 1964 Lowell eleven has an experienced backfield and veteran end. it is short on experience in the center. All of last year's offensive regulars in guards, tackle and center spots have graduated, but there are a host of ambitious young men who arc battling for these posi-tions.

Leading contenders for regu-lar offensive line positions finds 180-lb. Steve Ayres at center. Dick Rollins and Tony Myers are presently leading the guards with Joe Melle, Brad Fonger and Mike Goggins breathing down their necks.

Chris VanDyke. 5 ft. 11 In., 186-lbs.. who played in the back-field last year Is the top con-tender for a tackle spot. Russ Phillips. 6 ft . . 180-lbs . is hold-ing on to the other tackle posi-tion. Dave Wessell and A1 Wit-tenbach a re the next two besi: prospects for these spots.

At end veteran. Duane Mclv-er. 6 ft. 5 in. 202-ibs., has the left side position; on the right side Mel Byrne, 5 ft. 9 in., 162-Ibs., appears to have the quick moves rnd the good hands to grab those passes. Kurt Beim-ers. 6 ft. 2 in., 170-lbs., is a strong contender for the end position on offensive and has worked into the regular spot

defensively. The backfield besides the two

co-captains has Bob Elzinga. 6 ft. 2 in.. 158-lbs., handling the ball well at quarterback and Russ Videan. 6 ft., 150-lbs., a t the right halfback position. He handled as a regular last year. For reserve strength. Pat Hoag. 5 ft. 4 in.. 128-lbs., is fast and shifty and Dan Flnkler, 5 ft. 8 in., 150-lbs., is a hard nmning back.

Defensive Team

All the members from last year's defensive unit are back with the exception of the four line men. McMahon and Kropf will play halfback; VanDyke, Videan and Finkler line back-ers; Beimcrs and Mclver ends.

Nine men are battling for the defensive line positions. Besides ,the offensive guards and tack-les mentioned before. Denny Nugent, Gary Kropf. Jim Cook and Bob Englc have shown the greatest ability and effort.

The Arrows will scrimmage with Hudsonville on Friday eve-ning here and the Junior Var-sity will go to Hudsonville for a scrimmage.

The opening home game for the varsity is ac 8 p. m., Sep-tember 18 at Ionia; the JV squad plays Ionia at 4:15 in the afternoon.

Forty years with local agencies

It was 40 years ago this Sep-tember that William "Bill" Col-lins went to work for Oscar Rivette in the Dodge garage in the building under the Show-boat Stadium.

Mr. Rivette was killed in a wrecker accident in February of 1925; Frank Gould took over management of the garage and the agency was soon moved to the present Lowell Engineering building. It stayed there until 1954 when Peter Speerstra open-ed his new building at the pres-ent location on West Main St. The Dodge agency is now op-erated by Jackson Motor Sales.

During the four ownerships, Bill has worked as mechanic, bodyman, service manager and parts manager, through depres-sions, wars, good times and bad—from the time of the early cars to the modem automobile of today

Johncock breaks records. . .

Regains world's 1/2-mile speed title in Weinberger Chevrolet

A raw recruit making his bid for a spot in the professional status is wasting no time in getting started to achieve his goal.

Driving a super modified own-ed by Helen and Mace Thom-as of Hastings. Gordy Johncock entered the racing limelight by mounting up unsurpassable vic-tory records at tracks in Grand Rapids. Kalamazoo. Toldeo, Ohio, Oswego. New York, Ken-tucky and Canada.

Johncock quit racing super modifieds in 1963 and became a sanctioned member of USAC (United States Automobile Club) taking over the cockpit of a sprint car.

Slowly working his way up the list. Johncock made his biggest jump when he broke the world's speed record on a '.a-mile banked asphalt oval at Winchester, Indiana on July 12, 1964.

Cutting Johnny White's rec-ord from 17.60 to 17.56 Gordy broke his own record by" requal-ifying at 17.51. Driving a "301" Chevrolet owned by Fetter Alum-inum of Louisville. Kentucky, he also broke the 8-lap record set in 1952.

Takes Weinberger Offer

Weinberger Homes of Ithaca, Michigan, owners of a "301" Chevrolet sprinter and "255" championship Offenhauser, sign-ed Johncock as their driver, fol-lowing his Winchester success: and Duane Glasgow, also of Hastings, was signed as the head mechanic.

Still another gain, was his performance at the Milwaukee State Fair in August of this year, when he qualified to start in 21st place in a line up of professional drivers and work-ed his way to 9th place before being sidelined with mechanical difficulties.

Looses Record The world's record slipped

through^ Johncock's hands when Red Amick of the IMCA (In-ternational Motor Car Associa-tion). look the title when he qualified at 17.47, in late July.

Making his second memorable appearance at Winchester on Sunday. September 6, Gordy shattered the world's record again by qualifying at 17.21 in the Weinberger Chevrolet. Still determined to go faster and set the record at a blistering pace. Gordy requalified at 17.18. which is an average of 104.768 miles per hour.

In the first heat race of the afternoon, Johncock chased Bud Tinglestadt across the finish line to place seond.

Wins Record Feature Averaging 93.03 miles per hour

in the 30-lap feature, Johncock set another record by finishing the race, in first place in 9:08.20.

According to statistical infor-mation. a rookie driver does not equal Johncock's success until he has driven the circuit for four or five years Johncock's experience in this type of rac-ing does not add u p ' to two full years. Although his past exper-iences in super modified rac-ing boosted his know how, it takes more than just that.

A driver's experience mold-ed with a good handling and nmning car, and the stability to endure and know each track, can only add up to a winner.

What lies ahead for Johncock is forseeable; Indianapolis, and a name which will stand out in the sports world.

Bucket seats? On the Scout? There am probably thousands of farmers, con-struction men and store owners who like the SCOUT because i f s a tough, powerful utility vehicle that's easy on gas and goes anywhere.

But we hear from more and more people who bought a SCOUT for pure fun. Outdoor p e o r ' o . . . suburbanites . . . . hunters and fishermen who don't want to stop going just because they've run out of road.

"Ifce sporty tucket seats (and the full width re-movable back seat) are for them.

And if you think that's getting too fancy for a utility vehicle, take a SCOUT on a pleasure cruise. Yea never had that much fun with a utility vehicle.

alleging bid submitted, and ac-cepted. for Workmen's Cnmp-ensation Insurance on June 19. 1964 should be disqualified due to Its failure to meet specifica-tions under Fireman Code 7704. and requesting that Speerstra Insurance be awarded the busi-ness. Letter f r o m Michigan Workmen's Compensation Rat-ing Bureau was presented sub-stantiating the charge. (See MO-TIONS)

At a special election held on August 4. 1964 the follpwing pro-position was voted on:

NNater Bonding Proposition: (Ballot A)

Shall the City of Lowell Coun-ty of Kent. Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Fifty Thousand (650.000.00) Dollars and issue general obligation bonds of the City therefor, for the purp- se of paying the cost of acquuing and constructing improvements to the water sup-ply system of the City, consis-ting of new water wells togeth-er with necessary piping and appurtenances, repair and re-replacement of inadequare dis-tribution mains and installation of certain distribution units?
