Appoints neiv department heads

High scorer on Army test Big! license

problem is ns The size of the Forest Hills

schools has dictated a need for department heads in some of the larger curriculum areas \\ithin the school's program. The l'.igh school now offers 44 Eng­lish classes ranging from ninth grade English through Advan­ced Compositions. Remedial & honor courses are included in the English curriculum.

Army Private Ra1ph E. Cros­by, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Crosby, 4879 But­trick Ave., Alto, was high scor­er on the proficiency test held at the encl of his company's basic training at Ft. Knox, Ken­tucky, on October 27.

The test based on skills, Cros­by was taught during his eight weeks of training, included hand-to-hand combat, use of the bayonet, drill. first aid, squad tactics and written examina­tions.

ambulance service discussion continues

At the meeting of the Kent County Board of Supervisors last week, Sheriff Ron Parsons made a dramatic appearance in order to save the drivers' li­cense bureau of the county rath­er than allow it to be taken over by the state.

It was evident that something unusual would be discu sed at the meeting for several news media members were present and a TV camera dominated the center of the room. Resolu­tions affecting the county were examined in a routine manner until the agenda got to the question of releasing the driv­ers' license bureau.

It had been the contention of the Safety Committee that this bureau was losing money for the county. It appeared that the figures were obtained by the committee from the Comptrol­ler's Office, but Sheriff Ron Parsons declared that these figures did not represent the true case.

confused He was called before the as­

sembled supervisors in order to give his side of the picture. His opening remark was. "Gentle­men, you have me confused. I don't even know why I am here ... officially. I have never been officially asked to submit figures, I have never been offi­cially invited to attend a meet­ing of the Safety Committee. If it was not for the fact that yes­terday a couple of members of that committee called me and told me that I had better get some information together, I would still not have been offici­ally notified of the decision to take this function of the depart­ment out of our hands."

Of particular interest to resi­dents of this area is that this is the same committee that has notified the supervisors that the county will no longer be able to afford county-wide am-

Workshops ... The women of St. "Michael's

will conduct a workshop every Tuesday morning at 9:30 a. m. at the church.

They will be making gift en­closures. for Operation Santa Claus. All women in the area are invited to attend. Please bring pinking shears, construc­tion paper, yarn, and old Christ­mas cards.

Nursery care will be provided. Coffee will be served.

Christmas Crafts

The annual Christmas Work­shop of Cascade Christian Chur­ch is scheduled for Saturday. December 2, from 1 until 7 p. m., featuring all sorts of Christmas crafts.

This is strictly a non-profit venture, with the entire family being invited to participate. A committee of three is heading up the 1967 workshop, including Mrs. Ralph Fosner, Mrs. Tom Lupton and Mrs. Ronald Sher­wood.

bulance service and that each township will probably have to take care of its own needs.

Because of confusion over the two sets of figures presented to the supervisors regarding profit or loss for the license bureau, the final decision has been de­layed until the December meet­ing of the Board. In the mean­time the Safety Committee will meet with Sheriff Parsons so that he will have an opportunity to explain the services rendered by the employees of that de­partment.

problem However, this leaves both

questions on the agenda for the December meeting, the control of the drivers' license bureau and the ambulance service. This latter problem is being studied at present by the Safety Com­mittee. Results of the investiga­tions will be presented then. The cut-off date for the present ser­vice is December 31. Funeral directors have declared t h a t furnishing the service has be­come too costly for them to contmue. Therefore they are dropping county-wide ambulance service.

There are approximately 20,-000 residents who will be af­fected outside of the core city. The areas most concerned are the city of Lowell, p01tions of Caledonia. Bowne. Lowell, Ver­gennes, Grattan, Oakfield, Nel­son, Courtland and Spencer Townships.

In a preliminary report made by the committee at the Ko­vember meeting. the Safety Committee stated that it was studying several possibilities for handling the problem. One pos­sible solution was suggested by Dr. C. l\fark Vasu, Chairman of the Emergency Medical Ser­vices Committee of the Kent County Medical Society. He said that perhaps local police, sher­iff deputies and firemen could

be used. He thought that roving ambulances containing officers trained to administer first aid and who could also carry out regular patrol work at the same time might be the answer.

illegal In an opinion by George R.

Cook, legal advisor. it would be illega for the county to subsi­dize private operators with county funds.

At the meeting a number of supervisors of outlying town­ships rose to question the chair­man of the Safety Committee, William Worst. Supervisor Bak­er of Cascade Township asked the question on everyone's mind, "Does this mean that we \\ill be left out in the cold as far as ambulance service?" And the answer from the chairman was, "Yes, as far as funds are no longer available from the coun­ty for the service." Baker was reminded that this was simply a preliminary report. But the December meeting is not until the middle of the month and the cutoff date for the service is the encl of that month.

'will not When questioned outside of

the new Township Hall, Baker said, "The Township Supervis­ors will not leave their citizens unprotected." He further clari­fied the term "volunteer ser­vice" which was suggested by the committee. This would be the same arrangement as a Township fire department now conducts. The Township would have to purchase an ambulance, hire and train volunteers from its citizenry and house the e­quipment.

There were expressed a num­ber of objections to this ar­rangement by interested resi­dents. Baker is cognizant of most of these arguments and is working toward a solution should the final report of the Safety Committee actually re­veal that it is necessary for each township to provide for its own service.

Discovers Ada in research for term paper

June Hovey, Laraway Lake Drive, has been researching for hours la tely on a term paper for her English class at Junior College. Pouring over old books, pictures, newspaper clippings and interviewing residents has taken a generous amount of time which she says she has found fascinating.

June has discovered an Ada she hadn't known existed. There is one era that she is having difficulty collecting information about, however, and she would appreciate any help that read­ers would be able to give her. She needs more facts about the mills, especially those along the Thornapple. At one time these were extremely important to the village of Ada and should figure in any history of the ar­ea.

If you can aid her in this ap­peal, please call June at 676-1757. Her term paper due date is November 30th, so she does need the information quickly.

Those who have been helpful to .June in loa ning precious ma­terial and delving into their memories are Floyd Chaffee, Norman Wride, Mrs. Beatrice Slayton, Mrs. Kathryn Kuiper, Rex Anthony, Charles Dykuizen and Amway Corporation.

Rangers greet season with confidence Winter is about to arrive and

so is another year of basketball at Forest Hills.

The '67-'68 season rolls under­way Saturday, November 25, as the "hustlin' " Ranger cagers tackle city league Union, a Class A competitor.

The game was onginally sche­uled as the dedication game in the new Union High gymnas­ium as former Union Coach " Doc" Ellingson was to be hon­ored. However, the austerity pro­gram in the Grand Rapids schools has forced cancellation of these plans and the game has been transferred to the Forest Hills gymnasium.

Optimistically is the only way to look at the upcoming season. As in the previous year, th e Rangers will participate in the Red Division of the 0-K con­ference, where they entertain fond hopes of capturing the ti­tle, which would be the first in Forest Hills' history .

seven return

Virtually unhurt by gradua­tion losses, coach Don Kemp's forces possess all the needed qualities of success: experience, depth, speed, height, ability & desire.

The Ranger's roster boasts 7 returning lettermen. including 5 former starters-Jim Vander­Baan, John Stovall and Steve Russ are returning senior stand­outs.

VanderBaan, Ranger ballhawk and playmaker guard, can be expected to run the Ranger of­fense .

Stovall (6-1) , owner of the FHS season scoring record and a second team all conference choice of last year. will be a major factor in the Ranger scor­ing power.

Russ (6-2) owns the FHS sea­son rebound record and can be counted on to dominate the boards this year. as well as be­ing a scoring threat.

Seniors Ryan Ashley and Ken Lodden, also return to contri­bute their ability to the Rang­er effort.

A fi ne crop of juniors play a m ajor role in the team's suc­cess. The juniors are led by Dan Mosher (6-3) and Scott Wingeier (6-2) , both returning lettermen and starters from last year.

Tom Teft. who saw starting action in the final two games of last year. will be sidelined for a few weeks due to a re­cent knee operation. Other pro­mising juniors include Steve Gra barek. Doug Koessel, Paul Je­nks. Dave Sherwood and Kent Zech.

union veterans

The Union High Red Hawks under the direction of Ted Nic­ollette will present a veteran line-up against the Forest Hills Rangers Saturday night when the two teams clash at 8 p. m. in the local gym.

Returning lettermen include Doug Sund, who is one of the city league's outstanding re­bounders last year. Sund is big and strong (6-5) and is a bear­cat on both the offensive and defensive boards.

Both guards, Bob Conser and

1URKEY ... CRANBERRIES, MINCE PIE/

David Sukup. although small, are very quick and score very well both outside and inside. The fon· ·ard posts will be man­

ned by Rich Grigas and Phil Powell, both letter winners with fine scoring potential. Bob Dyk­ema, a 6' 31 2" junior, up from last year's reserve squad might break into the line-up as a for­ward.

Win or lose, rest assured that the Rangers will do more than their share of the winning. The team is a fine group of guys, the school and the community can be proud of.

A fine turnout would be a pro­per beginning for the kick off of one of the best Ranger cage seasons in history.

reserves

The Forest Hills Resen1e team under the tutelage of coach Ed Van Dam will open their sea­son Saturday night against Jen­ison Public Schools.

Consequently the Ranger Re­serve team will meet the Jen­ison Public school 10th grade team in the prelim beginning at 6:30.

The austerity program has al­so eliminated all reserve and freshman competition in c i t y public schools.

Jenison is a public school sys­tem operating classes this yea r through the tenth grade and will be expanding to a complete high school program during the next two years.

Coach VanDam has seven sop­homores and five freshmen on his squad. The sophomores in­clude Doug Griffith, Joe Page, Andy McFarlan, Dennis Ver­Strat. Marty Everse. Rob Mc­Cormick, and Curt Linscott.

The freshmen arc Mark An­derson, Ron VanderBaan, Bill Vekasi, Al Heneveld, and Dirk VanWestrienen.

Coach Van Dam has not nam­ed a starting line up, yet, but it is expected that Griffith. Mc­Cormick, Everse and Linscott will get the call because of their experience on last year's fresh­man team.

dance

Following the first basketball game of the season Saturday night, against Union high school. there will be dance for Forest Hills' students, sponsored by Club 68. The faculty advisor for the club is Sally Loughrin.

All Forest Hills students are invited to attend the dance.

Tree sale The CYF of Cascade Christ­

ian Church will a g a i n sell Christmas trees from a booth located beside the chapel. Trees will be on sa le as of Saturday, December 2.

All profits going to assist high school juniors and seniors to at­tend an International Affairs Seminar in March. Get your tree early to assure you a nice full tree for your Christmas hol­iday.

Think and Thank On this annual Thanksgiving Day we gather in our church­

es and in our homes to express our humble and hearty thanks to the Supreme Giver of all blessings_-"Praise. G<?D from whom a ll blessings flow! " A d?~ology is an ascn pt1_on of praise. In the first line of the fanulia r doxology we praise God not only for some but for all blessings. . .

Sir Moses Montefiore had as the motto of his family, " THINK AND THANK." This motto is not just a clever play upon the two words which are alike except for the vowel. In the old Anglo-Saxon la nguage the word tha nk had as its original meaning "a thought, a thinking." . .

Coming to think of it we never tha nk anyone without first thinking of him and of 'the favors he has given _us. No doubt the reason for the lack of thankfulness to God is that we do not think of Him sufficiently. Theoretica lly we know that every blessing, even the leas~, comes from the hanc~ of our Almighty God, but in pra~llce we take our blessmgs for granted and often act as if we should take the credit for them because of our ingenuity, hard work, etc.

Today is Tha nksgiving DAY. But ~VERY DAY should be thanksgiving in the life of the Christian. Each day let us repeat the words of Psalm 103: 2 " Bless the Lord, 0 1'!1Y soul, and forget not all His benefits." - John Gmchelaar

"Error of opinion may be tolerated where rea­son is left free to com bat it." -Jefferson

Tuli Kupferberg. Hippie poet, is one of the New Love Left's most articulate spokesmen. He startles me, ·cares me. and gives me an insight into \rhat the whole movement is about.

He divides America into two sides.

On the one side he groups " the hawks, the millionaires, the old-line politicians, the grey­haired mothers. the retired Ar­my officers and the poor, stupid soldiers." All these forces, or what is left of them. "are those which used to be called reac­tionary."

On the other side Kupferberg places "youth, the cloves. the protesting students, the beat­niks, the poets and artists. the professors, the minorities and the psychedelics." This is the group which to him constitutes whatever remains of '·the old humanism. liberalism and ideal­ism of America."

Tuli Kupferberg maintains a Revolution has taken place. In fact, he believes Four Revolu­tions have already occured. They are:

1. The Sexual Revolution: This has liberated the bound-in per­sonal energies of entire genera­tions. Anyone under 20, he says, realizes this is really a Revolu­tion of Love. Among those still standing in the way are "Cath­oic and Jewish district attor­neys, frustrated judges, sadistic cops, vengeful (half-alive) par­ents."

2. The Automation Revolution: This makes possible an "Afflu­ent, advanced Communism," a material standard of living which, if the waste of war were eliminated, could be exported ever)>vhere. Youth understands this, says Kupferberg, and con­sequently they thumb their nos­es at a "career." Since the means to survive will always turn up they see no need to lick any man's boots. A]} youth is "spiritually rich" who rejects the old Economic Fstablishment and is willing to share the rich­es of Americ? with all t h e world.

3. The Artistic Revolution: The modern artist, says Tuli, is digging your grave. He has brought art into life with such force that the two are now in­separable. The Hollow Society has been subverted.

4. The Psychedelic Revolu­tion: This is the Hippie's mod­ern magic from which "new worlds will emerge;" this breaks the patterns, shatters the fake game.

Tuli Kupferberg says Tune In, Turn On, DrojJ Out! The world may end tomorrow.

Please read this column once again and then ask yourself if Tuli Kupferberg is merely a gentle flower child, or is he really the slick, new voice pip­ed in from Red Square.

Some men wouldn't know that they had had a good time if they weren't reminded of it by a headache.

This rocket launching project may sound simple. but the blast­off objects are instrictly bal­anced and must be protected from the intense heat by many layers of sanding sealer and paint.

The official launching was set for Wednesday, but clue to the weather a hold had to be call­ed. Thursday, disappointment ran high as again the weather failed to cooperate with the pro­gram.

With ole man weather finally offering his fullest cooperation. the rocket launching finally took place, with all the children tak­ing part.

The duration of this stuclv on the United States Space ·pro­gram, gave the tuclents a more complete understanding of the aim to outer space, and what the unpredictable future holds for the participants, and the promoters.

'"hile building and preparing the rockets for take-off. the in­dividual children worked in teams. In .Mrs. Dinison's fifth and sixth grades. the project workers included C. Solon. R. Thomet, B. l\Iooney. B. \'an­HarP:1. :'.\I. Lindhout. B New­berger, T. Huedepohl. S. Iluede­pohl. S. Shndard. S. Anisby, G. Speers, L. Koert.

TAGS visit Nappanee, Indiana In connection with their rnlunteer senice program at Cas­

cade Christian Church, the TAGS made a trip to Nappanee, Indiana late in October to visit the Church Worlrl Service Clothing Center, which is also the base of O!>erations for the Lutheran World Relief, Inc. This is one of ten clothing ship­ment centers in the United States, operated by Chlll·ch World Service, an interdenominational world relief organization. From Nappanee alone last year, one and one-half million pounds of clothing were shipped to needy persons oversc~s. Located in what used to be a buggy factory, the building has now bren changed into a processing and shipping depot for clothing, shoes, blankets and layettes.

Go sight-seeing, shopping Seen left to right looking into the gift shop at the Nappanee

Center are: Miss Susan Lee, Miss Nancy Scott and Miss Shelli Lupton. Immediately across the street from the Church World Service Center is the town hitching post, where the Amish and the Mennonites hitch their horses and buggies.

Old-time hitching post Rev. Raymond Gaylord, TAG advisor, and other members

of the group are pictured beside a horse and buggy. In connection with their field trip, the young people present­

ed the Center with several hundred pounds of clothing which had been received at the Cascade Christian Church for Church World Service.

Calling home free to GI' s this Christmas

Hundreds of serYicemen on dutv in Vietnam will be calling home free this Christmas. a gift from Union Bank & Trust, which is sponsuring OPERA­TIO"l' HOLIDAY for the second year. °C'1der the program. the bank pays for the first three minutes of :l phone call from Vietri1m. R0lativPs of 61!4 lor·al servicemen made application for calls last year. Almost four hun­dred of the servicemen manage­ed to complete their calls.

Union Bank President, Fd­wcird .J. Frey, commented: "Frankly, we'd hoped this would be a one year program ... that our 110Ys would be home this Christmas. But they·rc not, so the need for this progrcim and oihcrs like it remains. Regard­less of whether we support the war. it's tremendously impor­tant that we all let our men know someone thinks of them, and appreci:i.tes the fact that they're out thPre ... offering to lav down thPir lives for their country. If this program gets th<1 t mess'.1.ge across to just one man. it's worth every cent we spend on it."

The orogram is actually being expanded this year si:Jce manv servicemen last ye1r rould not reach telephone facilities in Saigon. A phrase in the letter which will go to the servicemen this year reads: ";'11any men last year were able to comnlete their calls by using ham radio, etc. You mav cal! from a stag­ing area. while you are back on 'R and R' ... anytime, any­where that. you can comman­dt>er a phone. There is no cut­off date for your making the cal1. but we hope you'll be able to falk with your folks during thP holiday season. If not, call when you can ... from wher­ever you em."

The program is limited to residents of Kent County or Georgetown Township of Ottawa

TAKE THE CONTROLS OF A GILSON SNOWTHROWER You'll be in firm control of the situation as you master the controls of your Gilson SS or OS snow· thrower. The new SS is just the ticket for a snow-filled side­walk. Its compact design and handle-controls make for easy maneuvering. For the really tough jobs - like hard, crusty drifts, wet, heavy snow - try the DS, the dual-stage giant with the one-two punch. A big 16" diam. auger bites into the toughest snow, then feeds it into a high-speed impeller sending it out the chute in any direction you desire. All the Gilson snowthrowers cut a b ig 26" wide swath, have F N R handle-controls and range from 5 to 7 hp.
