It becomes a boy. A boy is Nature's answer to the false beliaf that there is no such thing as perpetual motion. A boy can run like a deer, swim like a fish, cUmb like a squirrel, bolk like a mula, bellow like a bull, eat like a pig, or act like a Jackass, accord- ing to climatic conditions. The world Is so full of boys that It's impossible to touch off a flre- cracker, strike up a band,, or pitch a ball without coOatting a thousand of tfceia. Boys are not ornamental tbayYe useful. If H ware not for boys, the newspapers would go un- deHvarad and unread, and a hun- dred thousand picture shows would go bankrupt Ths boy la a natural spectator. He watches parades, fires, fights. footbaH games, automobiles and planes with equal fervor. However, he will not watch a dock. A boy is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite. He eats only when he's awake. Boys imitate their dads in spite of an efforts to teach them good manners. Boys are not popu- lar except with their parents, but they do have many fine qualities. You can absolutely rely on a boy if you know what to rely on. Boys are very durable. A boy if not waahed too often, and if kept in a cool quiet place after each ac- cident. will survive broken bones, hornets' nests, swimming holes, and five helpings of pie. Boys love to trsde things. They'll tiade fish hooks, marbles, broken knives, and snaket for anything that Is priceless or worthless. When he grows up he'll trade puppy love, energy, warts, bash- fulness and a cast iron stomach for a bay window, priijp. ambition, pre- tense. and a bald head and will im- mediately begin to say that boys aren't what they used to be—in the ggfei old days. * * * Jokes, jests, jabs and jibes just by Jeff; That soli on the lad's face Isn't from sand-lot baseball; It's from blowing dust off his school books. . . .

District Governor Tells Rotarians of World Peace Plans Rotary Clubs In 88 countries throughout the world are united in an endeavor to promote interna- tional understanding, good will and peace. That was the message of William DeHart of Sparta, Gover- nor of District No. 218 of Rotary International, In addressing the Rotary Club of Lowell this week Wednesday following a conference with local Rotary officers, directors and committee chairmen. In addition to the activities of Rotary's 7,100 chibs In their own communities to promote this ob- jective. Mr. DeHart explained, over a three-year period Rotary Inter- national is spending $750,000. prin- cipally to create better understand- ing among the peoples of different nations. One of the principal ways In which this money Is being spent Is on Rotary Fcamdatlon Fellowships which enable outstanding graduate students to study for one year. In countries other than their <)wn, as amoassadors of good will. Fellowships in 35 Countries Since this program was establish- ed in 1947, 195 Fellowships have been awarded to students In 35 countries, with grants totaling nearly 1500,000. "Devoted to service. Rotary pro- vides a common ground for 842,000 business and professional execu- tives throughout the world, regard- less of nationalities or political or religious beliefs," the Rotaj-y Dis- trict Governor emphasized. He said that there is a striking parallel between the program of Rotary and tne United Nations Charter, and that, since the or- ganization of the United Nations in 1945, Rotary Clubs throughout the world have been active in tlw development of an Informed public opinion on the objectives of the United Nstions in an endeavor to make It an effective Instrument for free peoples everywhere.

Ing definition of a boy: After a male baby has grown out
of long clothes and triangles and has acquired pants, freckles, and so much dirt ttiat relatives don't ears to kiss it between meals. It becomes a boy.
A boy is Nature's answer to the false beliaf that there is no such thing as perpetual motion. A boy can run like a deer, swim like a fish, cUmb like a squirrel, bolk like a mula, bellow like a bull, eat like a pig, or act like a Jackass, accord-ing to climatic conditions.
The world Is so full of boys that It's impossible to touch off a flre-cracker, strike up a band,, or pitch a ball without coOatting a thousand of tfceia. Boys are not ornamental tbayYe useful. If H ware not for boys, the newspapers would go un-deHvarad and unread, and a hun-dred thousand picture shows would go bankrupt
Ths boy la a natural spectator. He watches parades, fires, fights. footbaH games, automobiles and planes with equal fervor. However, he will not watch a dock.
A boy is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite. He eats only when he's awake. Boys imitate their dads in spite of an efforts to teach them good manners. Boys are not popu-lar except with their parents, but they do have many fine qualities. You can absolutely rely on a boy if you know what to rely on.
Boys are very durable. A boy if not waahed too often, and if kept in a cool quiet place af ter each ac-cident. will survive broken bones, hornets' nests, swimming holes, and five helpings of pie.
Boys love to trsde things. They'll tiade fish hooks, marbles, broken knives, and snaket for anything that Is priceless or worthless.
When he grows up he'll trade puppy love, energy, warts, bash-fulness and a cast iron stomach for a bay window, priijp. ambition, pre-tense. and a bald head and will im-mediately begin to say tha t boys aren't what they used to be—in the ggfei old days.

Several hundred Lowell fans fol-lowed Chris Burch's Red Arrows to Ionia, where they opened the 1980 seoson by playing a scoreless tie on an extremely muddy turf.
The two teams battled on even terms throughout the first half, with neither one showing very much of an offensive gesture. The Arrows looked very good in defense while holding their heavier oppon-ents to a meager yardage.
Midway the third period Lowell started an attack rolling that car-ried to the Ionia four yard as the last quarter opened. At this point the Arrows bogged down and were forced to yield the ball on downs The prison city lads never serious-ly threetened tha Lowell goal Una.
Coach Bnreh's starting Has consiated of Kilns and Brown at ends. Schmidt and Kropf at tackles, Klnyon and Courter at guards and Parsons at center. Faulkner, Frles-ner, Kutschinskl and Packer com-prised the starting backfleld. Seeley and Miller saw action in the back-fleld. With Beckett and Hoist ap-pearing on thellne.
In summarizing the game Coach Burch commented that many of the boys showed up better than he expected while others did not come up to expectations. It is too early In the season to pick individual stars and a good many rough spots must be smoothed out before we can expect to fee a winning team.
This week ttie R«d Arrows will open their Grand Valley schedule when they journey to Grandvllle's field to take on the Wyoming Park aggregation. Wyoming defeated Kclloggsviile in their season's open-er and are gunning <or Lowell in this Conference opener. Game time is 7:80 this Friday al Grandvllle.

District Governor Tells Rotarians of
World Peace Plans Rotary Clubs In 88 countries
throughout the world are united in an endeavor to promote interna-tional understanding, good will and peace. That was the message of William DeHart of Sparta, Gover-nor of District No. 218 of Rotary International, In addressing the Rotary Club of Lowell this week Wednesday following a conference with local Rotary officers, directors and committee chairmen.
In addition to the activities of Rotary's 7,100 chibs In their own communities to promote this ob-jective. Mr. DeHart explained, over a three-year period Rotary Inter-national is spending $750,000. prin-cipally to create better understand-ing among the peoples of different nations.
One of the principal ways In which this money Is being spent Is on Rotary Fcamdatlon Fellowships which enable outstanding graduate students to study for one year. In countries other than their <)wn, as amoassadors of good will.
Fellowships in 35 Countries Since this program was establish-
ed in 1947, 195 Fellowships have been awarded to students In 35 countries, with grants totaling nearly 1500,000.
"Devoted to service. Rotary pro-vides a common ground for 842,000 business and professional execu-tives throughout the world, regard-less of nationalities or political or religious beliefs," the Rotaj-y Dis-trict Governor emphasized.
He said that there is a striking parallel between the program of Rotary and tne United Nations Charter, and that, since the or-ganization of the United Nations in 1945, Rotary Clubs throughout the world have been active in tlw development of an Informed public opinion on the objectives of the United Nstions in an endeavor to make It an effective Instrument for free peoples everywhere.

fire than in cities—that'a the re-port of Richard Machlele, county agricultural Agent. He annoi^ces that Fire PrevenUon Week wllf be observed October 8-14, 1950. .
Fire takea the Uvea of 8,800 farm people each year, and rural proper-ty lossss by flames add up to about 100 million dollars annually. Kfff t county bears Its part of this loas every year.
Dave Stelnclke, farm safety spe-cialist at Michigan State College, reports 25 per cent more Uvea are lost in f a rm dwelhng fires thac in slmlllar ones in towns and oiUee across the nation.
Records show between one-third and ope-fonrth of the people killed by fire Are farm residents, aJthoagji only about one-fifth of the people .in the United States live on farms.
Eighty per cent more children lost thefr, Hyes In rural dwelling tires than in urban ateAe.

REVIEW
The big news in Wasnlngton this week is the resignation of Secre-tary of Defense, Louis A. John-son. This change in the President 's cabinet was inevitable and abso-lutely necessary despite Mr. Tru-man's statements to the effect tha t both Acheson and Johnson would s t ly On as long aa he was In the Whito House.
The President selected General Marshall as Johneon'A raoceAsor. This move will help to restore pub-lic confidence in the handling of our national defense policies, be-cause GenerAl MArshAll Is A proven military leader. However, before General Marshall dan accent tlio Job of Secretary of Defense, the

lack of adequate lightning rod pro-tection are others.
Accumulation of rubbish in cloAetA/ attics, baaementa, and farm build-ings, and Indifference to fire has-ards are also big causes of f a rm fires and deaths.
Agent Machlele Is calling on all Kent county farmeis to eliminate | these and other hazards before it Is too late. Now. before Farm Fire Prevention Week, Is a good time to start a year-round program of fire prevention.
iareerist can be appointed to the ^civilian poet of Secretary of De-fense within ten years a f te r serv-icq in the Armed Forces.

Mr. Truman's uncalled for re-marks about tha Marine Corfcs are still causing considerable comment in Washington. Every Congreesman was bomberded with telegrams let-ters and phone calls denouncing the President's statement that the Marines were the "Navy's police force" end tL%t the Marinee "have a propaganda machine equal to Stalin's."
It is regrettable that the Com-mander in Chief ahould belittle one 6f our fine military organisations. His public apology m-y have helped some, but It was small comfort to those who fought so valiantly all during World War n and who are now doing a fine. Job in South Korea. Thoae who have complained to me were not Just Marines. In fact, most of the objections cama from sailors, airmen and army men. I t Just didn't seem right to them that their "buddies' should be vilified.
It Isn't too well known but Sec-retary of I f t fense Johnson's regline tried to do a "hatchet Job" on the Marine Corps. The President as evidenced by his statements appar-< ently went along with Mr. Johnson In this regard even though Con gress sold NO a t every turn.

On-tbe-Job Proof I This amazing Economy Run started July 1 and will run to December 31, 1950. Thousanda of Ford Truck owners are keeping authentic day-to-day records of gas and oil consumption, of repairs and maintenance— of miles travelled, of loads hauled. The result— the most comprehensive demonstration of oper-ating economy in truck history.
Get in on that money-saving Ford Truck economy now! Your Ford Dealer will show you now a Ford Truck will save money on your job. See him todayl

Folks are wondering if and when Congress might adjourn during this national emergency. Personal-ly I don't think Congress should adjourn. I t would be much better to recrss for limited periods. After all the G. I.'s In Korea can't ad-journ. Why should Congress? Ap-oarently the President a f te r con-ferring with his aides has OK'd an adjournment late In September. If Congress adjourns only the Pres-ident can call the House and Sen-Ate back while If we recess the Waders In the House and Senate can reconvene the Congress.

Several weeks ago I Introduced a bill to require the immediate de-portation of all Vllena who refuae to reglater and serve under the Se-lective Service AoL At the present Ume there Is an unfortunate quirk In the law which permits an alien to avoid the draft although by re-fusing to serve any alien loses the right of cltlxenshlp.
Those of us who are pressing for action on this bill were assured by

Jtee on Armed Services that rings would be held and acUon en. Several days ago when cer-1 changes were made in the So-lve Service Act to set up a edule for the drafting of doctors

Never-theleaa we were promised that my bill and several others almllar to it would be considered shortly by the Committee on Armed Services.

This •fall during the political campaign the American public are to hear a 16t of accusations pro and con on whether or not a vote against a bill for "economic aid" to Korea precipitated the invasion of South Korea by the Communists. To keep the record straight here are some facts. '
On July 1, 1948, H. R 6880 was approved by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It provided "economic aid" to South Korea 'n the form of funs for hydro-eloc-tric power plants, etc. No funds for military equipment (that's an-other story). This bill waa cleared for action In the Houae on July 26, 1M9, but the Speaker and the other Administration leaders did not bring It to a vote until January 19, 1960, when It *as defeated by one vote, 192 to 191. Mind you, a six months' delay so presumably the legislation wasn't too urgent. Frank-ly It was defeated principally be-cause President Truman and Sec-retary of State Acheson In effect said Formosa would be turned over to Red China, and South Korea would not be defended b y the United States if Communist forces attacked.
After the defeat of the House bill, H. R. 6880, the Admlslstration, less than 80 days later brought up a somewhat slmlllar bill which had passed the Senate on October 12, 1949. The new proposal, however, waa conaldered different from the one Which the Houae originally da* feated. Specifically it contained assistance to non-Communist forces on Formosa. Because of the change In attitude in this regard by the President and Mr. Acheson the re-vlsed legislation Was approved.
Remember this. The 21-day de-lay between the defeat of the first bill on January 19th and the pas-sage of the second on February 9th after a previous six months' delay didn't affect one Iota the in-vasion decision of t h e North Koreans. In light of General Mac-Arthur's recent statement aa to the strategic Importance of Formosa It Is fortunate that a few of us said no economic aid to South Korea unless there is a consistent atUtude In reference to other Pa-cific areas.
General MacArthur according to reliable sources predicted quite ac-curately when the North Koreans would attack. On December 8, 1949, MacArthur advised the Army officials In Washington "No In-vasion appears Imminent" On March 10, 1950. he reported to the Pentagon that North Korean forces would Invade In June. They did.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
We have eulogized the old cover-ed bridgea as disappearing struc-tures, mellowed In time. When you hear a Lowell man recall days long ago, they hold some building thai stpnds out In memory as an em-bellishment on the rural landscape of his youth.
There Is another "oldie" that was built to serve a purpose and which has almost vanished from the American scene.
It was the spring house. Those stone walls seemed a part of the hillside. Its moss-covered roof a landmark under the shadows of maple, oak and elm. Closeby ran the Icy spring water which within the sprlnghouse, supplied the cold breath to keep cool the crocks of butter, cans of milk. Jars of cheese. A ladle hung on the wall tor skim-ming off cream, a butter paddle lay upon the shelf.
Very few youngsters hereabouts ever saw a spring house, know nothing of the damp, clean odors that came from within.
The smokehouse where hung big hams and slabs of bacon, the spring house with Ita snails trail on walls, the covered bridge sounding with the clop-clop of hooves and hollow call of a boy's "glddap," means much to ua who can remember them. They mean a passing of a stream In our life that flows too swiftly for us.
Collect the shooting Irons, the powder boxes, flint, shaving mugs and Ironware dishes, we will take a bit of country that holds a col-lecUon of a covered bridge, a smoke house, a spring house and a moss-covered bucket hanging In a well.
Editor's Note—Speaking of cov-ered bridges It Is worth mentioning that there are three remaining In this vicinity, viz; Ada, Fallasburg, and White's bridges.
NOT FOR BEVIN
It is a party fact that Ernest Bevin, Britain's Foreign Secretary, advocated socialized medicine.
Mr. Bevln needed a minor oper-ation, so you Imagine he would use the plan for himself. He did not. He wanted to choose his hos-pital, pick his surgeon, and pay for the privilege from his own pocket.
To get votes from the masses, Mr. Bevin figured socialized med-icine would appeal, since so many want to get something for nothing (so they think). But when It came to letting the government choose the hospital and surgeon, Mr. Bevin declined.
The socialists objected to this decision. It wasn't playing cricket with the party and It would look as though Mr. Bevln didn't believe the teachings and principles of so-cialism were for him. Socialist doctors complained that it is an affront to them and their free med-ical service, when Mr. Bevin acts this way.
Maybe Mr. Bevin, when he needs attention for an ailment, even If only hemorrhoids, warns to go where HE feels he will get the best professional service, even if

we feel, and some folks call this feeling "the capltalisUc state."
WHAT DESTROYS OUR ROADS?
The commercial truckara are claiming that their heavy vehlclea do not do as much highway dam-age as uninformed people suppose, and that the problem of road des^ t t e d t l 0 n ^ b e e n * r * a ^ exagger-
That view, however, is not shar-ed by experts who have gone thoroughly into the matter and have no axe to grind for or against any kind of transportation.
According to the American Auto-mobile Association, "Billions of dollars worth of naUoo's finest highways are being pounded to pieces by overweight annd over-loaded commercial vehicles."
According to the U. S. Commis-sioner of Public Roads, "The chief destructive factor of hlghwaya is overloading (of heavy trucka)."
According to the California Chief Engineer of Hlghwaya, "Big trucks in thia state are responsible for 55 per cent of thc total cost of new highway construction."
According to Governor Duff of Pennsylvania. "It costs us $4,900 (per mile) to maintain a totck highway and only $350 a year to maintain a highway for automo-biles."
According to the Highway and Traffic Problems Ccmmtosion of Illinois, "Private aptomobilea In thia state are paying three times more tax per ton-mile than the largest type truck."
Evidence and opinion of this nature could be continued almost indefinitely. Our main road* are breaking down at an alarming rate. The coat of maintenance and new construction of the type ade-quate for the huge truck-and-trailer rigs la atratoapheric. The safety problem grows steadily worse, And the big trucks—thoae freight cara on the highways are chief offendera.

Eggs Improve Recipes Wken Properly Used
Advises NutriHonlst From angel cake to zabagllone,
most recipes calls for eggs. Every-one knows that eggs Improve the color and flavor of many foods, but do you know why they are used and how to get the most from them?
Two qualities that make eggs valuable in cooking are their abil-ity to act as thickening agents and their ability to hold air In recipes, They will perform these duties much better If you know how to get the most out of them, advises Lxris Jackson, foods and nutrition department at Michigan State Col-lege.
When using eggs for thickening In custards, sauces and puddings, you can prevent streaks of cooked egg In the recipe by adding the hot liquid very slowly to tho beaten eggs and stirring at the same time. This same thickening quality ex-
to hold crumbs together on bread-ed foods. 1
It la the air beaten into egga, not the egga themselves, that helps to leaven batters and doughs. This way of leavening foods Is especial-ly Important In sponge cakes. The way that eggs are beaten makes a difference In the final porduct Recipes give such directions as "beat slightly," or "beat until thick and lemon-coiored." Here are some hints on how to get the best results from beating:
Take the eggs out of refrigerator ahead of time so they can warm to room temperature before beating and they will give better volume. If the whltea and yolks are to be sep-arated, do so while they are still chilled. Do not beat eggs until you are ready to add them to the recipe.
To beat slightly. Just mix with fork, whether It Is a whole egg or the separate yolk or white. To beat until thick and lemon-colored, use a rotary beater or electric mixer until the egg becomes Hghter yol low and thick. To beat egg whiles stiff, be sure there Isn't a speck of yolk In thew hltes. Use a beater until the mass Is stiff but not dry. The whites will form peaks that topple. If they stand up stiff, they are overbeaten, and will not give as much volume.

Hie Virginia opossum, long asso-ciated with the succulent southara dish of possum and sweet-potatoes, U moving northward; However, Br'er Possum will probably n a m establish himself permanently in northern Michigan, aaya Dr. Charlaa W. Greaser, chairman of tha biology department at Wayne University in Detroit \
Br'er Possum fares best south of the.Oraat Lakes region in the range f r o m eastern Nebraska to Naw York, and migration to a mora northern climate ia bringing him troubles.
In this state his difficulties ara due to two things, the biologist points out, after following closely the animal's efforts to make himself a Michigander. ' <

It was meteors In August but the September feature in the skies will be a total eclipse of the moon. '
Dr. Hazel M. Losh, assistant pro-fessor of astronomy at the Univer-sity df Michigan, reports that tbe moon is scheduled to be blacked out by the earth's shadow on Mon-day, Sept. 25, with a portion of the eclipse continuing on Into the early hours of September 26.
The moon will start to enter the earth's ahado# at 9:82 p.m.. Baat-ern Standard Time, and at 10:54 p. m. will be completely blacked

these ara not to be found te tha winter, becauia of heavy snows or dean harvesting, ha starves. So great ia tha toll taken by cold and starve tioo that even the possum's large and frequent litters do not guarantee survivaL t
The opoasum ia popularly known for hia abQtty, when ha feels him-self in danger, to play ao dead that tUa only giveaway to tha act ia hia body temperature. But he ia equally . famous for being the only animal in the United States which carries ita young In a pooch, like many Australian mammals.
Famous or not, Michigan hunters are not overjoyed at the possum's return to the state. For one thing, northerners do not consider the possum a tasty dish, what is more, hunters dislike the animal's habits of robbing birds' nests and eating any wild ll'e it can catch. The possum's tendency to divert coon hounds and to get caught In toips set for foxes also lowers his popti larity with Michigan hunters.
out. This total phase will last for 46 minutes. The moon will not be entirely clear of the earth's sht.dow until 1:02 a. m., Dr. Losh says.
"The moon Will not vanish from sight during the so-called total phase of thc eclipse," she points out. "Even when entirely covered by the earth's shadow, the moon will still be illuminated by the Suh. This sunlight filters through the Earth's atmosphere around the base of the shadow and then is deflect-ed and spread out over the surface of the moon. This will give the moon a dull red or copper color throughout the 4* minutes of total eclipse."
ONI UP ON NAmi—During the war Bell Lahoratoriea scientist* found a way to grow synthetic crystals better in some ways than natural qnartc. A "seed" crystal ia produced by evaporating chemical salta, then rotated in a chemical solution which cauael depoaita to build it up to many times ita original siae. Crystals vibrate ai exact frequencies, aeparate the many telephone message* traveling over a long distance line.
BETTER AND BETTIR—In the 74 years since the telephone was invented, there have been more than 18,000 additional inventions—an. average of more than 240 a year-that have contributed to ita development. Many recent ones are playing a part in Mic'iigan Bell's big service improvement program in rural areas.
TIME DOES TILL—Here's an easy way to figure what your telephone ia worth to you. On a typical working day, count up the tele-phone calk you make . . . to the farm imple-ment deader,- lumber mill, veterinary, feed store,'repair shop, friends. Think of the hours it would take to visit all of these people—hours of lost work around the farm. And when you consider that one call may save a life, what you pay for telephone service ia mighty small compared to the value you receive.

of taking the family and trying out its spaciousness at the nearest Buick dealer's—and a very jew minutes on the open road will satisfy you that all-coil spring-ing, low-pressure tires and Buick's torque-tube drive really do produce a ride that is match-less for its soft comfort.
BUT RIGHT NOW, it may be that the money angle is the thing uppermost in your mind, and on
that we'd like to make two points:
All our records go to show that this is the most eco-nomical Buick ever built. It is easy on gas, on oil, on tires, on upkeep.
And if you choose it with
Dynaflow Drive ,* it imme-diately eliminates all chance of friction-clutch repa i r and re-p lacement—not to ment ion greatly reducing rear-axle and transmission maintenance.
Best of all, your initial outlay is a highly favorable one—what-ever Buick you buy. -For these brawny straight-eights — built rugged and solid for durable service —are priced at a level that makes them a standout buy in any price class.
Yes, better buy a Buick. Your dealer will be glad to demon-strate, glad to work out all the arithmetic of a deal. See him right away and get an order signed.
