Serving Lowell, Ada, Cascade and Eastern Kent County AUGUST 20. 1970 10 centi Zap! Storm Cuts Power In Lowell If church services were not as well at- tended as usual Sunday, those who missed or were late for services have a good excuse. A freak lightning bolt shut down trans- formers at the Lowell Light and Power Company-and they woke up 90 minutes late. Electric power for the municipally-own- ed utility's 1,400 customers was disrupted for about an hour and a half early Sunday morning. "We were really very lucky," John Jones, the utility's manager said, "lightning trav- elling around inside the plant could have caused an awful lot of damage to our trans- formers. But this one blew up some of our lightning arresters and a bank of fuses. Tnat's what shut down our power." Jones said the lightning bolt struck the plant, travelled along power lines into the plant and then, after a few seconds, was grounded. The heavy storm which dumped rain on southwestern Michigan was the first rain- fall in weeks in the area. "More than likely, the dry weather is a major reason why the lightning got into the plant," Jones said. "When our outside K ound wires are wet, the lightning will fol- w the wire to the ground. But in this case, the lightning surged into the plant." Service was restored when the Lowell ' • utility drew from the Wolverine Power Co- op pool. But Jones said the delay was the result of an extensive check of the lines and equipment in the plant. "When we were sure everything was okay, we drew on Wol- verine," he said. One operator was in the plant at the time of the bolt struck the building. He was not injured. Three transformers on Lowell's south end, two on the north side of town and one on Lafayette were also struck by lightning. They were repaired by crews early Sunday morning. Jones commended the company's cus- tomers for not calling during the blackout , to find out when power would be restored. "They have Bech pretty good about this," he said. "I think most of them know we're awfully busy at a time like this and we can't spend a lot of time answering the phone. As long as we get the power restor- ed in a short time, we don't usually get an awful lot of complaints.

The one-story addition will be of brick and frame construction to match the existing structure. After the addition is completed next June, added dial equipment will be install- ed to help meet growth and expansion in the Lowell area. The addition is the second to be built on to the Lowell central office. Thole said. The first was completed in 1962. When the dial office was placed in service in January, 1953, Lowell had 1,600 telephones. The count reached 2,100 in 1962. The Lowell office now serves more than 3,400 tele- phones.

Contacted in Grand Rapids, Mason said he would make no comment. He said that he understood that the two parties had agreed that they would issue only a joint statement and indicated some surprise that the board said anything at all.

Well, School's Not Quite When some of Forest Hills* junior high school students are ready for classes Sept. 9, the junior high school won't be ready for them. Superintendent Robert Masten said a de- lay in the start of construction caused the builder's to miss their target date by a cou- ple of weeks. Last spring, the Forest Hills School Dis- trict vainly sought money for the project at 6 percent interest as the maximum al- lowed by law. I found none at that rate and until the law was changed to allow the district to pay 6.8 percent, no money was available for the project. "We're hoping to have a few classrooms in the new building ready for the new school year, but I think we'll have to do a little shuffling around for a few weeks," Masten said. Classes begin Sept. 9 and run for 186 days until June 11, 1971-four more days longer than the state minimum. Teachers will report for work on Sept. 8. Forest Hills students who won prizes in last spring's Booster's Club magazine sub- scription drive will be able to pick up their awards next week at the junior high school office. The office will be open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-noon, and 1 p.m.-3 p.m. Thousands Throng Lowell For 4-H Fair Thousands of people from all over the state were expected in Lowell this week for the 36th annual 4-H Fair. A huge, fun-filled midway, hundreds of craft exhibits, vegetable, produce and plant displays, hundreds of animals-especially horses-filled the sprawling 4-H grounds and buildings on the banks of the Grand River in Lowell. By midweek, more than 9,000 people had visited the fair. Hundreds of 4-H clubs from all over Western Michigan were represented at the fair. Trailers (for people and livestock) and tents were everywhere. On Thursday evening, a big variety show was scheduled to begin at the grand- stand at 7:30 p.m. The fair will be open through Friday each day at 9 a.m. The midway closes at 11 p.m. There is no admission charge to the fair and there is no charge for parking. On Tuesday, horses were king at the fatr. All day long, hundreds of horaes-and their owners-vied for 4-H ribbons. Miss Joy Roberts. 9%, of Marne. waits with her pony.

Sheriff's Posse Keeps 4-H Fair Fun, Safe If you happen to visit the big Kent Coun- ty 4-H Fair in Lowell this week, you'll have a chance to meet a small group of police of- ficers who volunteer their time to keep the fair and events like peaceful fun all over the country.

If a prospective member can fit the qualifications of the applicant for the sher- iffs department, he is acceptable as a mem- ber of the posse. At the Lowell 4-H Fair, the posse has a small office manned 24-hours-a-day from an officer and several men. It is in radio and telephone contact with the county sheriffs office and local police agencies. "Most of our work here," Deputy Er- nest Graham said, "is finding lost children, lost cats and loose horses. We also mix with the crowd and let them know that we're here and give first aid." Lt. C. E. Crowe says that many parents of 4-H members wouldn't let their children stay overnight at the fairgounds if the pos- se weren't there, "They know we'll keep an eye on them," he says. "I've got a daughter here this year myself." For their work at the 4-H Fair, mem- bers of the posse receive a token fee- what amounts to about 3 cents an hour per man. They receive no pay from the county, no tax money. Why would anyone want to join the posse then? "Well," Capt. Lt. Crowe says, "it's a service our members provide to the community. We do it be- cause we want to and because we know it's appreciated." Kent County Sheriff Roland H. Parsons praises the posse. "We really appreciate the work they're doing for the people of Kent County," he says. "It's nice to have these fellows to count on." And so it is. They're keeping the fair fun.

YFU Girl Visits Russia,Prepares for Trip Home

BY JOHN JOLY

Well, we finally found Lake Michigan. Everyone knows where Lake Michigan is, you say. Ah, but

you'll recall my telling you in an earlier column how much trouble I had finding Grand Rabbits-and, when I did, how much trouble I had finding my way out. W e l l . . .

A1 Heemstra almost bit through his cigar when I told him that we had been to Holland two weeks ago to go to the beach but we couldn't find Lake Michigan. And the gas stations in Holland are all closed on Sunday so we just kept driving whi t we thought was west.

"Look," Heemstra said pulling out a huge map of Michigan, "Holland is only two picas from Lake Michigan here. How could you miss it? You just get on M-21 and you'll practically run into the lake. Honestly, some of you city people . . "

1 took the map and put a circle around Holland and my finger on M-21 and prepared to make the trek again last Sun-day.

We missed Holland but we found Lake Michigan. It 's not even a pica; not even three points (with me crossword fans?) from Grand Haven.

I didn't notice any windmills in Grand Haven but the water was warm and the sand was white (Imagine!), and Jennifer, who's 2,/4, looked just great in her new bikini.

If there are any transplanted Detroiters out there in newi-papcrland, I'm sure you remember Metropolitan Beach.

It's in Harrison Township on Lake St. Clair, about 16 mi le t^ 1

from Detroit. Operated by the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority, it is the first and best of a greenbelt of recreation areas that will some day surround Detroit.

Anyway, Metropolitan Beach used to be the place fot Tom Kenny (who had the car), John Aqualinia (who had the after shave lotion) and mc (I had the eyes of an eagle then, but that's another s t o r y ) . . . it used to be the place for us to meet girls and get burned.

Just before we left Detroit for good, the family spent the day at Metropolitan Beach. The beach is still there, it'f a dark brown color, and swimming isn't permitted in Lake St. Clair anymore. The water's too dirty.

Instead, they've installed a huge, lighted swimming pool on the beach and filled it with clean water. And it's all glassed in so you don't get any sand in the pool. And, of course, it's crowded.

Wonder how long it will be before the water in Lake Michigan is too dirty to swim in. If we can keep it clean we won't have to build a swimming pool a few picas from the water in Grand Haven.

Croft Show Set In *

Grand Rapids The annual Ceramic, Craft and Hobby Show, sponsored by

the West Michigan Ceramic Association, will be held in the Civ-ic Auditorium, Grand Rapids, on August 28, 29 and 30. The theme of the overall show will be "Holiday Happening" with exhibits and displays relating to the various holidays.

lisvesi, Finland

Dear Everyone, When we arrived in Helsinki, we went to the bus station

where 94 YFU people were meeting. Hannele and Annuka fmy sisters here) stayed with Helena (my third sister) and 1

tor the day as we were to tour the city first. Our guide didn't speak very good English so it was hard for

all of us to keep quiet for five hours and listen to him when we wanted to talk about what we were doing.

Our tour covered all the highlights of Helsinki such as the famous Sibelius Monument, the original site of Helsinki, the harbor, churches.

I really didn't like Helsinki as much as 1 did Hamburg, Ger-many. The streets here are much wider and the stores didn't have very big windows for displays. The colors of the buildings downtown reminded me of the old part of Grand Rapids.

After our tour we registered in the hotel at the University of Helsinki. I didn't like the rooms as they were brown cement walls just two beds, a sink and one small window!

We ate our meals in the ballroom on campus and were given a short orientation about what to do and what not to do in Russia. Then Hennele and Annukka left to go back home. Everyone else went to change their clothes and go back to a place called Tipoli to dance. When we got there we found we had to be 18 to get in. One of the boys, George Portillo lives in Helsinki and goes to Tipoli all the time, so he and this little old lady, whose son is very important in Finland, got us all in-to the dance.

Georee and I did some of the new dances and everyone stop-ped dancing to watch. It was like our own show! That night George and I were nominated the leaders and 1 was crowned "Midget." No one really knew my name - just "Midget" from here on!

The next day, we left on the buses (three in all) at 9 a.m. It was a very long ride and took us all day. We stopped once for lunch in a restaurant that couldn't accommodate all of us at once - so we had to take turns and it took forever to get back on the buses! "

At last we were on our way to the border which had all of us a , a bit scared. When we got to the border we had to get out of the ' buses and go through customs. Some of the boys had their

suitcases searched but most of the girls were just looked at and our declaration sheets were signed. We titiiihad to wait awhile for our buses, since they took them away to be thoroughly in-spected. WIERD!

One of the boys on the other bus had his wallet slip out of his pocket on the bus before we went into the inspection build-ing. When the border guards checked the bus, they found the wallet and when they got back they took the boy and all his luggage and took him into another room and every little thing of his was checked. They even frisked him!!

After all that , we were loaded back on the buses and for 20 miles we were in the border zone and were not allowed to take pictures. We couldn't take pictures of men in uniform, large crowds, the border zone, military objects, bridges, harbors, rail-road crossings or anything that could be used as propaganda against the U.S.S.R.

When we entered Russia it was raining like crazy and was as depressing as we thought it would be. So, George and I lead everyone in a bunch of songs, that made everyone feel closer together. We all felt like one big family,

At 7 p j n . we arrived in Lenningrad where it was bright and sunny. We went on a small sight seeing toiy before arriving at our hotel. All of us expected Russia to be filled with gold-domed buildings and Russian police. But the only dome buildings ings were churches. We were shocked though to see so many uniformed men. Every where you look there they are!

Our hotel was the "October" which had 1,000 rooms and mostly tourists stay there. The main street in Leningrad is the "Nevricy Prospect." It was crammed with people and looked like New York at high noon. We very rarely saw a car because they are so expensive here. The only way all of the people got anywhere were by the underground subway, the buses or trolleys.

The thing that upset all of us was how quiet ihe ^cuple on the streets were. Even those walking together never said any-thing! The only sounds of the city were buses and liolleys!

After dinner at the "Hotel Moscow" we were allowed to walk around until 1 a.m. I really liked the Russian people. You can easily spot an American here by the fast way they walk and the way they dress. We had lots of Russians come up to us and asked if we spoke English.

They all seemed so eager to speak the language. One man offered to take us on a tour of the city since he did it as a pro-fession, but he wouldn't let us pay him. So many people went out of their way to please us. TTie only problem we had was people coming up and asking if we would sell anything to them. They would ask for "booble-gum," boys jeans, wristwatches, cameras, necklaces and coats. Sometimes when they would grab your coat it would get scary!

That night, all YFU decided that we wanted a place to dance and we discovered there were places that tourists could go but Russians were not allowed in.

We talked to several people and a man from Africa, who

was studying in Leningrad, said he knew a place and he paid for 25 of us on a trolley car! Such generosity and he didn't even know us! We enjoyed ourselves at the dance and then walk-ed the four miles back to the hotel. On our way back we met more people from the States who were staying in Russia for six weeks to learn the language. They were all from 15 to 23 years old.

The next day we started on a tour of Leningrad, the city to mc was cold and impractical for the designs of the buildings reminded me of a wedding cake in a bakery window - all show. Many of the buildings are made of stucco and are musty yellow or a robin's egg blue. Many of the buildings seemed to be built to see which one could become the largest in the world. In fact, the longest building in the world is in Lenningrad. All of the streets are extremely wide and the fences, as on bridges, are all designed metal.

Our first tour was to the St. Isacc's Cathedral which is the largest construction in the city. This church is magnificent! There were at least 100 20-foot tall mosiac paintings all over. There were 42 different kinds of marble used and all the gold was real! The ceilings were at least 60 feet high and had murals on them. When the ceiling paintings were being put up, royalty came from all over to see them.

After lunch we went to the Hermitage Museum to see some of the most famous paintings and sculptures in the world. Whole rooms were filled with Rembrants and Monets! There were 30 miles of walking you could do in the building and I think we did 29T,i of them!

That night, we met the rest of the people in the hotel by knocking on the doors and introducing ourselves. We met Rumanians who were there for the water polo contests; Bul-garians, Americans and many Russians who were from other states of the U.S.S.R. Everyone promised that the next night the whole hotel would have an international party! Just think -YFU did that!

The next morning wc went to Peter the Great's summer pal-ace. It was huge and spread out all over the landscape so we didn't even have time to go inside! We did walk all over the grounds. There were many fantastic gold and carved fountains that were over 20 feet high.

It was here that a guy started following us around. He seem-ed more interested in George, Betsy (a cheerleader) and me. He kept taking pictures of us - so we posed and waved our Ameri-can flags. Finally Isa Tapio (the man ahead of our bus who we named father) told us to stay away from him as the Russians have people follow the Americans around.

For lunch wc took the subway to a restaurant. The Russian subways are the most beautiful places! They are very clean and are usually marble with pillars of carved glass. On the subway we sang folk rounds. I stood on one of the seats and lead every-one - the Russians on the subway all clapped. It was great fun! The restaurant was fantastic - paintings, carvings. We had seven pieces of silver and were served an eight-course meal.

That evening the floor clerks told us to quiet down - we were all so excited after a long day - so the clerks came up with 25 bottles ot champagne! Everyone had a little light-head-ed feeling and we were all giggly! Then we all went to the bal-let to see "Giselle."

We all had box seats and were not allowed to take pictures. All the seats are hand-carved and the box seats and walls were covered with "movie-set" velvet curtains. The auditorium in-side is six stories high. The ballet seemed quiet and unreal. Ev-ery single bit of professionalism was displayed by all the main characters. My favorite scenes were the ones where large groups of girls would dance like clouds and were supposed to represent angels. It was very beautiful!

After the ballet we had the evening to ourselves so we had our party with people from all oyer the world! Some of the YFU boys had met some Russians and I guess they got into some pretty deep discussions about politics. Anyway, when the evening ended the Russians started to cry because it had been a close, warm in fellowship evening. I wish world relations could be like that night in Leningrad!

The last morning we boarded our buses for the long trip back to Helsinki. We had had only three hours sleep. We knew it would be hard saying goodbye to each other. After wc went through customs again, Rosemary (a girl from California, who's really a riot) got on the microphone in the bus and gave a mock-tour on our return.

We had heard so many "guided-tour" talks that we were sick of them - and we were so tired we just laughed. Then George got on the microphone, the bus driver spoke too. Then everyone wanted "Midget." So I got on and said a lot of silly things. We all enjoyed ourselves and discovered we were in Helsinki. We all had a hard time saying goodbye, we ./ere pretty choked up! Finally, after we blew our noses, got our train tickets, and got everyone's addresses, Helena and I went out to get something to eat. Our train didn't leave until 11 a.m. so we had a lot of time to kill. I had a rough time because I bought my brother Mike a guitar in Russia and everyone wanted me to play it!

And now IH say goodbye. I'll be home August 28. Hope to see you all then. It's been a trip I'll never forget and 1 want to thank all the people of Lowell who helped make this possible.

forest Hills Hi-Lites BY SHIRLEY DYGERT 676-3721

At a recent three-day golf tournament at the Spring Valley Country Club in Reed City a few of our local gals did a good job of pulling in the prizes.

It was an annual event held by the Western Women's Nine Hole Golf Association to which 68 women traveled. Leagues formed from local residents at Saskatoon, Lincoln, Forest Hills and Silver Lake clubs usually send representatives

This year Annette De Minck took first in the fifty flite and was followed by Ollie Freed as runner-up. In the sixth flite, Dora Darling lead the field events to capture first.

Next, a one-day tournament at Silver Lake Country Gub.

Spending the summer in England, Jeff Retcher has been studying architectural delights and photographinR the best ex-amples he can find. He has just written that he is making a spe-cial collection of bollards. These are heavy metal posts that stand in roadways making the passage one for pedestrians only. No horse-drawn vehicle or modern machine can get through the areaway.

Traditionally, bollards are supposed to be made of old can-non; certainly they resemble the business end of a six pounder, and no doubt, Jeff says, some were just that.

Most bollards, however, were especially cast and were often of simple dignified design. The bollards he is recording date from the early nineteenth to the early twentieth ccntury, with some later examples of the 1920's. These last are much less at-tractive, Jeff clains, but with London changing so rapidly, he wants to get them on aim before they are torn out by their very roots.

Many of the older bollards have the initials of the parish cast on them in the bold letting known as "Elephant , ' a favor-ite type with the printers of playbills in the 1820's.

The whole project makes me wonder how much we are not recording here.

However, some energetic historians of the Lowell and Sar-anac areas have banded together to build a magnificent display at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. This should be of interest to residents of the Forest Hills area too, as a great many of the items could be identical to those of pioneers from here.

For those who have ever lived in Lowell or Saranac, there is a register to sign. Be sure to ask for it as many visitors have looked and enjoyed the collections, but have not left their im-print upon the pages of history.

For antique lovers, here is a wealth of unusual items and for the curious, a chance to know more of the story of the past.

John and Marilyn Roe have been vacationing at a friend's cabin in the woods outside of Baldwin. They sent back a poem by Samuel Hoffenstein to which they find themselves dedicated.

I goes,

I love to hear the little bird, Into song my morning stirred.

Provided that he doesn't sing. Before my own awakening.

A bird that wakes a fellow up. Should have been a buttercup.

Postal Employees Receive Pay Hike

BY CHARLES DOYLE POSTMASTER, 49331

The Postal Reorganization Act was signed by President Nixon on Wednesday, (August 12). Among other things, it provides for an 8 percent pay raise for postal employees retroactive to

April 18.

The new legislation carries effective dates for different sec-tions with a final date one year away. On August 12, those por-tions of the law dealing with top level reorgani/ation will apply.

However, provision is made for non-political appointments of postmasters and other employees providing for first consider-ation of qualified employees within a local post office; second consideration will be for others elsewhere in the postal service;

finally, competitive examinations will be held.

Other provisions immediately effective deal with employee

compensation (8 percent increase beginning about April 18) and collective bargairting with labor organizations (especially as to elapsed time to reach maximum pay steps).

Sections effective next February include strong restrictions and judicial enforcement on the manufacture, mailing and deliv-ery of sexually oriented advertisements.

1924 - Letters to Authors - 1947

By Maxwell E. Perkins

"What would the world be like without conjpetilion?" "Be careful not t o antagonize reader by objectionable terms, especially in reference to Deity." . . . "Vice, n ^ e r pictured as it really is, should be depicted to make people hate i t ." . . . "Remember: It's not the length of a book that counts, it 's the interest it stirs." . . . "Most novelists draw their best books

from experience." . . . "Book must be done according to writ-

er's concept. Publisher must not try to get author to fit book to trade." . . . (1940) "1 must say that 1 feel desperate about

democracy. You cannot have it without a strong sense of the thing now detested, "du ty , " and a sense that material sense is a lower form than that of service." . . . "Mistakes, once in print, are hard to get out of i t ."

in one letter, Perkins recounted how Shelley sank to the bot-tom of a pool after being told that confidence was all a man needed to swim. My father gave me about the same advice when

I was fourteen years old. He said, "If you can get one finger on something that floats, it will hold you up." 1 tried it a little

later at the annual Sunday School picnic at Campau Lake. That was the one time of the year when we got into water deeper than our knees.

An older boy was rowing a boat past the bathers. As he passed me, he said, "Catch a hold, and I'll give you a ride."

1 grabbed on with both hands and we were not long in reach-

ing deep water. "Now's my chance," I thought. 1 let go of the boat with one hand, then very carefully disengaged the fingers of the other hand, one by o^e. When I got to the last finger, the boat and I suddenly parted company. But another of Dad's theories came to the rescue, "If you can't swim, paddle like a dog."

I had lots of time to try it, before the frightened boy could back the boat to me. And my head never went under.

COMMUNICATIONS

1. Michigan Liquor Control Commission acknowledging re-quest of Wm. L. and Beverly I CnvHI for transfer of nwnersliip of 1970 Tavern and SDM License at 211 West Main Street, to them. (See MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS). Manage: Bacon stated a police investigation revealed no cause for denying li-cense.

2. Request of Michigan Municipal League for name of dele-gate and alternate for the Annual Meeting in Detroit in Sep-tember. (See MOTION).

3. Michigan Public Service Commission re Public Hearing on August 6, 1970 re large gas users and how they will be affected by gas shortage. Referred to Light and Power.

4. Kent County RDad Commission re proposed cross-county Corridor Road. Notice of Public Hearing on August 26 at 2 p.m. at the Ada Township office. Councilman Anderson was dele-gated to attend for the City.

5. Letter from Methodist Church and from Boy Scout Troop 102 suggesting that the City participate in the Kenneth Bieri Dialysis Fund. It was the consensus that Council members could not earmark City funds for the purpose; it was agreed that they would make individual contributions, which were given to the City Clerk for remittance.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1. PUBLIC HEARING on proposal to vacate Grand Street west of the west line of Myrtle Street. Howard Rittenger, repre-senting Mrs. Theron Richmond, was present f object to the vacation since access to some of her lots would be blocked. Manager Bacon read the Notice, which had been published on four successive weeks as required. Mayor Jefferies stated that no legal action to close it could be taken by the City but that the order to close or not would be issued by the Circuit Court following a Hearing.

2. Kenneth Anderson of Williams & Works presented his as-sociate, Gene Roberts, who gave a progress report on the pro-posed program of phosphorus removal from wastewater efflu-ent. The cost of a full secondary treatment plant was estimated at $330,000 and was not recommended by the firm. A cost estimate of $39,000 for phosphorus removal, including con-tingencies and legal costs, was recommended to be expended at the present time. This figure is based on the assumption that sanitary and storm sewers will be separated.

Present sewer revenues are not adequate (present average is S6.80) and would probably have to be raised to a $12.00

average, quarterly. Chemicals and maintenance costs would average $8,500 annually.

The necessity of separating the sanitary and storm sewers is becoming more vital every day, it was said. Mr. Roberts stat-ed the report from which he quoted would be duplicated and copies sent to Council members.

NEW BUSINESS 1. Appearance of Gould Rivette, representing the Lowell

Public Schools. He sought City participation, along with the School, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company, and Lowell Development Company-for erection of an overhead pass from -the northeast corner of the Young Addition in the direction of the Bushnell School. Councilman Mueller suggested that Manager Bacon first contact the C&O Railway Company. May-or Jefferies stated that the City would be willing to look into it and will do the best possible to produce ideas that might be beneficial. Councilman Anderson stated he would be willing to work wjjh Manager Bacon.

2. Former Mayor Wittenbach was present to urge the City to purchase the property owned by Clare Brown on South Hud-son Street, since it adjoins the 4-H property. Tabled for discus-sion at a Council executive session.

3. CITY MANAGER REPORTS:

a. Bids will be opened at the Light & Power Office on Au-gust 4,1970 for the sale of the hydro plant and a residence at that site.

b. Notice of meeting of Greater Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce re a proposal for a "Unified Planning Department," at 8 a.m. on August 8.

'GOODIE MOURNING" fcoii/ri/ig

PATSY STEVENS 2K W. Brite. Cmer Frwl *w.

Tiim 459-7170

Thosegoodolecohoareback l For the first time since salmon were planted in Great Lakes

tributaries four years ago, more than one million adult coho and chinook will be available for catching in Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron.

"The major attraction for anglers will be giant chinook that will weigh up to 50 pounds," explains Jerry E. Fisher, Auto-mobile Club of Michigan touring manager, "Early reports of chinook weighing 80 to 90 pounds being sighted show salmor fever is spreading quickly, if not accurately"

Coho fishing pressure once again will be heaviest along laLf Michigan, where over three million fish were planted in the spring of 1969 compared to only 500,000 in both Lakes Super-iur and H-ion. In all, 24 stieams will liave cobo runs this fall.

Mature chinook runs will be heaviest in five streams - the Big fiuron River and Cherry Creek along Lake Superior, the Ocque-oc River along Lake Huron and the Muskegon and Little Manis-tee rivers along Lake Michigan.

Ada-Cascade Tie The Polo game between Ada Blues and Cascade Whites at

Kentree Polo Club ended in a 10-10 tie last week.

The game was tied up in the seventh chukker by a goal by Morrie Houseman and two goals by Gene Gilmore. The high scorers for Ada were Houseman, 4; Gilmore, 3; and Witney, 2. The high scorer for Cascade was Scott Maclntyre.

This weekend, Kentree will host a festival of polo games. Teams from Barrington, 111., Detroit and Kentree will vie for the Bob Bond Challenge Trophy,

Phy begins on Saturday at 10 a jn . , 1 p j n , and 3 p,m. It be-gins on Sunday at noon and 3 p j n . Admission to the polo games is SI for adults and free for children, Bert Hathaway has more information at 949-0337.

Michigan Water Death

Mark Rises Michigan ij Headed for a record number of water deaths in

1970. This bitter assessment, recently reviewed by Col, Fredrick L

Davids, State Police director, comes in the wake of a long, hot summer that has already claimed more drowning victims than last vear at the same time.

"Provisional figures." Davids said, "indicate we will have more water deaths this year than the all time high of 347 re-corded in 1969." Davids said many factors enter into the tra-gic pattern including prolonged hot weather, more unsupervised swimming and the use of dangerous areas such as gravel pits for swimming parties.

Davids pointed out that while local enforcement agencies have been emp:wered to police boating rules and regulations, little is being done to improve non-boating water safety pro-grams. "When you consider that two-thirds of all drownings do not involve boats, the need for more water safety education and control is obvious," Davids said.

Pointing out that the three weeks prior to Labor Day are al-ways critical for water safety, Davids cautioned parents agains' permitting unsupervised swimming. "The end of many recrea-tional programs at schools and camps, prompts young people to seek the old swimming hole," Davids said.

Lake Michigan salmon will be larger than those in the other lakes because of the abundance of their food supply - alewives and vnelt. Although some chinook wili run between 35 and 50 pounds, most will be between 15 and 35 pounds, Coho will be in the eight to 18-pound range.

The largest chinook was caught earlier this month, it weigh-ed 35 pounds and was taken in Lake Michigan off Muskegon. The biggest coho weighed 21 pounds and was taken in 1967 from Lake Michigan near Manistee.

This year salmon fohing activity began to peak in July on Lake Michigan, with activity on all three lakes expected to be highest later this month and into September as coho and chinook gather for spawning run* ai the uttHMiitM sf stresiRs in wliich they were planted. The runs extend through early No-vember.

Salmon season ends December 31 on most small streams while it is allowed year-around on major rivers and the Great Lakes,

Among more liberalized rules approved by the Natural Re-sources Commission is the raising of the legal size of salmon fish-ing hooks for inland waters to three-quarters of an inch, that measuring between the point of the !.ook and shank. The larger hook size is considered better for taking the large chinook. Last year's limit was ooe-half inch.

Salmon still may only be taken by conventional hook and line fishing. Anglers who foul-hook salmon under this type of fishing may again keep these fish as part of the daily creel limit of five.

Although it does not advise fishing for salmon from anything smaller than an 18-foot boat on the Great Lakes, the Auto Club points out that a large boat is no substitute for wise sea-
