LEDGER ENTRIES ItoinR a Collection of Various Topics of Local and General Interest IN MAN'S EXTREMITY T ME ANNUAL roll call of the American Red Cross, from Armisticc day to Thanks- giving, reminds us of the work this wonderful organization docs lo rescue the sufferers from na- lOre's most terrible tragedies. Scenes of misery are constantly presented, when some terrible disaster hits some unfortunate spot. When great fires sweep through a city, when the fierce hurricanes level man's most sub' stantial buildings, when earth- quake removes the foundations of life, when some terrible Hood sweeps away all works of man, in comes the Red Cross as qutck as planes can fly and trains can run. It has on hand, ready for instant action, all possible sup plies, and forces of workers ready lo go anywhere. A great army of people, saved from such scenes of disaster, owe their lives to this beneficent organiza- tion. The American people should heartily support this noble work. TURKEY FACES HIS FATE T HE GREAT turkey-eatina holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas, are soon to come. Old Mr. Turkey may well cherish the last days of his career and gobble sadly as he thinks of his impending doom. However, he can console himself with the thought that his final appearance is one of glory. He may have passed his life on some obscure farm, or as an un- noticed member of some great flock. But in his final splendor he rouses unlimited admiration. The children cry Oh-oh-oh-oh, and the scent of his toothsome flesh fills the house. Our ancestors found wild tur- keys roaming over most of the territory of this country. They enjoyed glorious feasts from this succulent bird when their hunt- ers came home. In our prodigal wasting of game resources, these birds have been largely driven from the forests. But the back yard and farm product lake their place, and furnish millions of choice dinners for the two grot holidays. SEEING THE WORLD AT HOME P EOPLE often say they are keenly anxious to "see the world." TTiey can see the world in their home town, by go- ing -short distances.' Moving pic- tures bring every scene in the world before their faces. They ^ et a better idea through them of le appearance of foreign cities and peoples than they would by visiting them. Newspapers and magazines tell about life in every country, and present pictures from all over the world. Even a small town is a kind of X oduction of the world in ature. You can find all types of people there. There are those who love books and study, thoso who are fond of sport and amuse- ment, those who arc full of am- bition, those who only desire easy and good natured lives. Every J base of life is presented in one's ome town. You do not have to obtain large sums of money for travel before you can see the world. You can see it at home. FAITHFUL VOTERS A MONO THE champion voters, A\aud those who win prizes x f o r good citizenship, should be enrolled Peter Sanborn of Concord, New 'Hampshire. He voted again at the city election Nov. 5, thus continuing his un- broken record of having voted at every election for G2 years. If we had more people like him who regard their date with Uncle Sam on election day as an un- breakable engagement, many things that now go wrong would never happen. If people can re- member to go to dinner on elec- tion day, but can't remember to vote, the interests of their coun try do not seem to weigh very heavily on their minds. FIRST STEPS IN THE WORLD F OUR of the Dionne quintup- lets can now walk without support, while Marie, littlest of the quintet, can go a few feet if helped by the nurse's fingers The day of the first steps is a great epooh in a human life. Up to that time, the infant had been purely a dependent, forced to de- pend upon the activities of others, when the child begins to walk, it tokes its first action toward inde* pendent life. It sees that it can make its own way in the world. The climb U|« the hill of knowl- edge and exferience begins with those first slips. SENTENCE STIMULANTS An upset plan may mean a set- up man,—later. A few spoken words reveal some men's natures as clearly as "would a ten volume biography. The bees hum and the lions roar but man alone can laugh. Too bad some so seldom exercise this distinguishing manly func- tion. The reason some great men do not pass their greatness on to their sons is that they personally stole a bit of the celestial fire and it so purified them that they Just cant teach their sons to steal. Kipling once told of a speaker "afflicted with the magic of the necessary words. He saw, he told, he described the meritr of a not- able deed in such a fashion that the words 'became alive and walked up and down in the hearts of all his hearers.' * U and A L T O S Q L O FORTY-THIRD YEAR LOWELL. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOV. 14, 1935 NO. 26 Odds and EndH Here and There Pithy Points Picked Up and Patty Put By Our Peripa- tetic Pencil Pusher LOCAL PEOPLE TO BALLOT ON THE NEW DEAL New Literary Digest Poll Uaderway Individual ballots have been mailed to voters of Lowell and nearby communities in a new Literary Digest poll of 10,000«000 persons to ascertain the present popularity of the New Deal and should be distributed by the Post Office locally within a few days, according to advice received Sat- urday from the magazine's pub- lishers. Michigan's returns in this new referendum will be tallied as a unit so they may be compared with the voting in other States, it is announced. The voting of the post-card bal- lots is secret as no signature or other identification is required and the return postage is paid by the magazine. To guard against tampering and counterfeiting a specially manufactured cardboard is used for printing the ballot, ac- cording to the sponsors of the poll, and all spurious votes can be detected immediately and de- stroyed. The ballot asks a yes or no ans- wer to the question: "Do You NOW Approve the Acts and Pol- icies of the Roosevelt 'New Deal' to date?" A similar poll to the same 10.- 000,000 persons was conducted in the spring of 1934, following the first year of the Roosevelt admin- istration. Final returns then showed a vote of 01.15 per cent, for the New Deal to 38.85 cent, against it. Another question on the ballot in the coming referendum asks each voter how he voted in 1932 to ascertain if there has been any shift in political sentiment since the last Presidential election. Ballots are reported being mailed from the magazine's head- quarters in New York at the rate of over 500,000 per day and will continue until every section of the country has been sent its proportionate share of the total being mailed. Publication of the first tabu- lated returns is anticipated some- time in November. A staff of more than 3,000 ad- ditional employees is reported to have been engaged by Ifle Liter- ary Digest for the mailing of the ballots and the tallving of the re- turns in'the forthcoming New Deal poll. Admiral Byrd Speaks At Civic Auditorium Grand Hapids will be host to Admiral Richard K. Byrd on Mon- day, Nov. 25, when the famous Antarctic explorer and transat- lantic flyer will appear in that city's new Civic Auditorium to tell the story of his second ex- pedition to the south polar regions. Nearly 0,000 feet of motion picture film, taken in Lit- tle America by an operator loan- ed to the expedition bv one of the major studios, will be shown by the Admiral. General Hugh S. Johnson, former NRA administrator and more recently WPA director of New York city, will spoak in the Civic Auditorium November SO. The subject 6T his talk will be "The American Political Scene." per Safety Campaign To Cover State All Michigan is to feel the effects of the safety drive in- augurated in Detroit a short time ago. Governor Frank 1). Fitzger- ald has appointed a committee consisting of the administrative board, Commissioner of stale police Oscar Olander, Insurance (Commissioner John C. Ketcham and William M. Smith, chairman of the utilities commission to act as a directing force in the stale. •Henry T. Ewald. of the Campbell Ewald Advertising Agency, is serving as publicitv director. All will give their services in this campaign without charge. The plan is to give as full pub- licity as possible to the various factors entering into safety and to conduct an educational cam- paign in an endeavor to securci safety in driving. < The State Highway Denartment has secured an appropriation of over .11900.000 from the federal government for the purpose of directing a trafiie survey of the state and compiling and organ- izing the results of the study so as to properly arrange a pro- gram for the next 20 years both In construction and financing of highways in Michigan. It is confidently believed that if the facts are gotten before the driving public as well as the pedestrians the state will become a safer place for everyone who uses the highways. Boy Scouts Hold Court of Honor The Boy Scouts of Lowell held their first court of honor Tues- day, Nov. 12. The meeting was well attended by 28 boys and three council meiribers, Mr. Christiansen, Mr. Roth, and Mr. Haner. The following boys received second class pins in the investi- ture ceremonies: Pinckney, Doyle, Armstrong, Ford, Jackson and Flynn. Our troop is very proud that the post has nine first class Scouts, seven of whom received this' honor at the last meeting. The seven boys who are well under way towards higher plans in scouting are: Kenneth Smith, Phillip Althen, Bernard Kropf, John Phelps, William Christian- sen, Henry Koewers, and Will- iam Lalley.

Kenneth Caffee, 21. son of Sir. and Mrs. John l^ingkamp; and Donald Sherrington, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Sherrington, were killed and Barbara Weave-, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Weavers Kathleen Brown, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Brown: and Joseph Lang- kamp, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Langkamp, were injured when the automobile which Jos- eph langkamp was driving crash- ed into a guard rail and hurtle*! into the ditch. The accident oc- curred at one o'clock Tuesday morning on the Gaines-Caledonia- rd., a mile and a half north and two miles west . of Caledonia, when the boys were taking the girls to their homes after attend- ing a dance in Caledonia. The driver stated that he ap- C lied his brakes as they neared a ump in the road, and one of the front brakes locked, causing the car to leave the road. It is re- ported that the car was traveling at about 50 miles per hour and there was a blinding snowfall which obscured the vision of its occupants. Miss Weaver suffered a frac- tured pelvis, severe cuts and bruises and shock. Miss Brown received a fractured right wrist and cuts and bruises. Langkamp received only minor cuts nnd bruises. Both young men were gradu- ates of Caledonia high school where they had splendid records as students and athletes. Thi'ir many friends in this vicinity ex- lend their sympathy lo the be- reaved family. Funeral services for Sherring- ton are being held this (Thurs- day) afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home and at 2 o'clock at the United Brethren church in Cale- donia.

Rapids With Former Lowellites By Lyttle Mea Since our last week's corner was submitted the Grim Reaper has erased from our list two more respected names, Mrs. Anna Sayles Thibos and Mrs. Earl Caldwell. Both will be sadly missed. Those of us who attended L. H. S. in 1920-21 will remember what a fascination the sewing class held for our senior-high prin- cipal, Mr. Lester C. Doerr. But who could blame him? The sew- ing teacher was Fairl Mr. Doerr is now principal of Burton School, and on Sundays pastor of the Church of Christ at Cascade, which position he has held the past fourteen years. Miss Fair is now Mrs. Doerr, and with Miss Jane and Master Richard Allen they live at 2301 Union Blvd., SE. Just a block away, at 2332 Paris Ave. we find the former Evelyn Curtiss, now wife of Dr. '^Bob" Lustig and mother of three charm- ing daughters. Evelyn is the youngest sister of "Zell" Yeiter. There are also three charming daughters at 1447 Blaine. SE.— the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alger Dygerl. Mrs. Dygert will be re- membered as Myrl Zahm. Alger is employed by the Consumer's Power Co. Miss Genevieve Gra- ham, aunt of the Dygerts, and a teacher in the Lowell schools for a number of years previous to 1899, is now retired and lives at 042 Cherry St. Next week we'll tell you about a promising young physician, and maybe another high school prin- cipal.

He declared that America consists of more than material things, being built upon and typified by the spiritual things as embodied in the great men who have made our history. Absorbing Story Of Beaver Island Lowell Rotarians heard a story of absorbing interest at their noon-day luncheon on Wednes- day of this week, the speaker be- ing the Rev. Fr. Jewell, pastor of St. Mary's Church, who gave an historical sketch of Beaver Is- land, which lies in Lake Michigan a few miles from the city of Charlevoix. Father Jewell spent eight years on this island where he served as religious teacher, medical advisor, dentist, jurist and government weatherman. The speaker told a story of King Strang and his ten-year reign over the Mormon colony which he had established there in the 1840's and which was erminated by his assassination by two men of his following who objected to his edict that the women must wear bloomers. Strang was a member of the Michigan legislature and his was the deciding vote which made Millard Filmore president of the United States. After the death of Strang, his following became dis- organized and withdrew after the island had been captured by Irish fishermen who had been lured to the Michigan waters by the stories of the great fishing grounds in that vicinity. The Irish were descendants of people of their race who had plied their vocation off the Irish coast. These Irish brought with them from the old country their belief in fairies and the speaker told in- teresting instances of their belief in this superstition. Beaver Island, the largest one of its group, is 13 miles long and eight miles wide. There was con- siderable pine upon the island at one time and, during the height of lumbering operations, had a population of about 1000. The population later fell to about 000. Fishing is the principal occupa- tion of the inhabitants, their catch of white fish and lake trout amounting to about a million pounds yearly. The month of November marks the birthdays of three of the club members, Harry Day, Pat Beahan and Theron Richmond, who per- formed a required "stunt" to the entire satisfaction of all. John Peterson, 58, a Reed City farmer doubtless is greatly em- barrassed. The "eyes" he saw in the rellected glare of a spotlight weren't those of a deer at all. They were the eyes of a 2-year- old heifer. Peterson was taken into custody on a charge of hunt- ing deer with artificial light and pleaded guilty. He chose a nine- ty-day jail term rather than pay a fine of 850 and costs of $10.

"A 45-mile gale with some rain hit ('.oral Gables from the north- west," Mr. Davis wrote. "It did no damage. Then a 30-minute lull and sunshine, all power was off; no radio in house working so we could not be warned. "Car radios received a message from WIOD, a Miami station with powerful battery sets, saying, 'Stay inside and look out for sec- ond storm.' "I had just returned from a De- troit neighbor who had his tar paper roof lifted. It was a poor job anyway, but his furniture and decorations were very fine and they were soaked. I was in my home only ten minutes when a driving rain and wind of 120 miles per hour hit the house. Having.a new. well-constructed home with all-steel California windows and wood shutters for the first floor, we were better off than many others.

Pleasant and oul&ped Fullback Edward Cole to cut down Assumption's safety man on its own 5-yard line, enabling Cote to score the Bearcats' third touchdown, he provided the material for Coach Alex Yunevich's lessons in the art of football for the week. The coach was gratified with Burras' performance and has been en- couraging Bearcat linemen to emulate his actions." Venablc.

SPRING FLOWERS IN BLOOM In spite of the snow storms of the past few days, spring flowers are blossoming in the yard cf Mrs. Lewis Jones of Segwun. Yes- terday Mrs. Jones brought bouquet of violets and forget-me- nots to the Ledger office. A little over a year ago "they say" were telling that the South Boston Grange was on its last legs ami would soon lose its charter all of which" was propa- ganda unwarranted by the facts, and a loyal group of members, headed by the Grange Master, Heuhen Lee, had other ideas. The community parties spon- sored by the Grange had grown to such proportions that the Ex- ecutive (bmmittcc was seriously considering limiting them to Grange members. So they decid- ed to start a membership drive that every one in the community might have an opportunity lo take an active part in the Grnnge. The result was a class of 74 taken through the Four Degrees, the largest class in the history of this Grange. Almost without ex- ception former members rein- stated, and the membership jumped from 25 to 129. In the state-wide membership contest South 'Boston Grange won second place. The Grnnge winning first was one in Oakland county. At the State Grange in Big Rapids, Mr, l>ec representing South Bos- ton, was presented with a beauti- ful silk American flag on a stand- ard, as the prize in this contest, and also with ten dollars us a re- ward to the Grange for increas- ing the membership more than 25. The flag will be presented at the installation of oltlcers which will be Saturday evening, Nov. 23. In September the executive commitlee decided not to have programs at the community parties, but to dance from 8:30 to 12, and to have Grange meetings and programs on other nights. The dances draw large crowds, and are praised by those attend- ing for the clean way they are conducted. South Boston Grange is an in- tegral part of the community, and plays an important part in the social and educational life of its members. —MRS. ELMER MARSHALL.

Frank Mitchell, 73, resident of Saranac all his life, died at his home Saturday after an illness ol many years. He was a teacher in the rural schools of Ionia county years ago. Funeral services were held Monday with burial in Sara- nac cemetery. Uflicials estimate that 30 mil- lion trees—enough to encircle the world if planted in a single row —have been set out in the Manis- tee national forest. Nursery men from the north. central forest region will gather Nov. 18-20 lo inspect the Wellstown nursery, which has contributed 90,000,000 seedlings lo the Manistee forest.

"All schools were closed at 9 a. m., the day of the storm, and I was at a golf course, and the radio's first report of the storm Miami bound was a surprise to all. It had been reported here that the storm would not reach inland, and few were prepared. The result was many were in boats fishing. "They clear things up quickly here and if one had never seen the district before the storm he would hardly realize what hap- pened after today's clean-up.

Just what Ionia will do to pay its bills for the final eight months of its current fiscal year under the limitations imposed by the 15- mill lax change made to the city charier last spring is causing concern to city officials. The mill limitation prevented the levying of a sufficient tax to cover city expenditures. The old age assistance bureau, Lansing, reported a rapidly grow- ing pension list Saturday with plans to enlarge it at the rale of 1,000 cases a week for the re- mainder of this month. 10,600 persons now are receiving old- age assistance at an average monthly rale of $11 each.

Five beer-selling licenses in Grand Rapids were revoked last Friday by the stale liquor con- trol commission. The charges in- cluded selling beer lo intoxicated patrons, permitting disorderly conduct and intoxication and having liquor on premises. Snookie, pet robin of Mrs. L. B. Spafford of Buchanan paid with its life for daring lo swallow a bee. Before the insect died it in- flicted fatal slings somewhere in- side the bird. Snookie's death happened a year and a half after Spafford had found it flounder- ing in the doorway, where it had fallen from the nest. Snookie at first was fed by Mrs. Spafford. and it grew enlirely dependent upon her, until finally the family had to "wean" it into picking up its own food. A box of earth was F tlaced in his cage, and the robin earned to scratch for the worms with which it was stocked. But when Mr. and Mrs. Spafford left home on a visit, Snookie refused food from anyone else. After that they took it with them. Last spring Spafford built a large cage of wire mesh outside the house so that Snookie could go from the living room at its convenience. The bird retained only one wild instinct, fear of hawks. Whenever any large shadow passed over the outdoor cage, it would crouch in terror. Several times the Spaf- fords turned the robin loose with the idea of allowing its freedom. It hopped about the yard, flew up into nearby trees, but at night al- ways came to the door and called until its mistress admitted it.

LEDGER E N T R I E S ItoinR a Collection of Various
Topics of Local and General Interest
IN MAN'S EXTREMITY
TME ANNUAL roll call of the American Red Cross, from Armisticc day to Thanks-
giving, reminds us of the work this wonderful organization docs lo rescue the sufferers from na-lOre's most terrible tragedies.
Scenes of misery are constantly presented, when some terrible disaster hits some unfortunate spot. When great fires sweep through a city, when the fierce hurricanes level man's most sub ' stantial buildings, when earth-quake removes the foundations of life, when some terrible Hood sweeps away all works of man, in comes the Red Cross as qutck as planes can fly and trains can run. It has on hand, ready for instant action, all possible sup plies, and forces of workers ready lo go anywhere. A great army of people, saved from such scenes of disaster, owe their lives to this beneficent organiza-tion. The American people should heartily support this noble work.
TURKEY FACES HIS FATE
TH E GREAT turkey-eatina holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas, are soon to
come. Old Mr. Turkey may well cherish the last days of his career and gobble sadly as he thinks of his impending doom. However, he can console himself with the thought that his final appearance is one of glory.
He may have passed his life on some obscure farm, or as an un-noticed member of some great flock. But in his final splendor he rouses unlimited admiration. The children cry Oh-oh-oh-oh, and the scent of his toothsome flesh fills the house.
Our ancestors found wild tur-keys roaming over most of the terr i tory of this country. They enjoyed glorious feasts from this succulent bird when their hunt-ers came home. In our prodigal wasting of game resources, these birds have been largely driven f rom the forests. But the back yard and farm product lake their place, and furnish millions of choice dinners fo r the two g r o t holidays.
SEEING THE WORLD AT HOME
PEOPLE often say they are keenly anxious to "see the world." TTiey can see the
world in their home town, by go-ing -short distances.' Moving pic-tures bring every scene in the world before their faces. They
^et a better idea through them of le appearance of foreign cities
and peoples than they would by visiting them. Newspapers and magazines tell about life in every country, and present pictures f rom all over the wor ld .
Even a small town is a kind of
Xoduction of the world in ature. You can find all types
of people there. There are those who love books and study, thoso who are fond of sport and amuse-ment, those who a rc full of am-bition, those who only desire easy and good natured lives. Every
Jbase of life is presented in one's ome town. You do not have to
obtain large sums of money for travel before you can see the world. You can see it at home.
FAITHFUL VOTERS
A MONO T H E champion voters, A \ a u d those who win prizes
x f o r good citizenship, should be enrolled Pe te r Sanborn of Concord, New 'Hampshire. He voted again at the city election Nov. 5, thus continuing his un-broken record of having voted at every election for G2 years.
If we had more people like him who regard their date with Uncle Sam on election day as an un-breakable engagement, m a n y things that now go wrong would never happen. If people can re-member to go to d inner on elec-tion day, but can't remember to vote, the interests of their coun t ry do not seem to weigh very heavily on their minds.
FIRST STEPS IN THE WORLD
FOUR of the Dionne quintup-lets can now walk without support, while Marie, littlest
of the quintet, can go a few feet if helped by the nurse's fingers
The day of the first steps is a great epooh in a human life. Up to that time, the infant had been purely a dependent, forced to de-pend upon the activities of others, w h e n the child begins to walk, it tokes its first action toward inde* pendent life. It sees that it can make its own way in the world. The climb U|« the hill of knowl-edge and exfe r i ence begins with those first s l ips .
SENTENCE STIMULANTS
An upset plan may mean a set-u p man,—later.
A f e w spoken words reveal some men's na tures as clearly as "would a ten volume biography.
The bees hum and the lions roa r but man alone can laugh. Too bad some so seldom exercise th is distinguishing manly func-tion.
The reason some great men do not pass their greatness on to their sons is that they personally stole a bit of the celestial fire and it so purified them that they Just c a n t teach their sons to steal.
Kipling once told of a speaker "afflicted wi th the magic of the necessary words. H e saw, he told, he described the mer i t r of a not-able deed in such a fashion that the words 'became alive and walked up and down in the hearts of all his hearers. ' *

LOCAL PEOPLE TO BALLOT ON THE NEW DEAL New Literary Digest
Poll Uaderway Individual ballots have been
mailed to voters of Lowell and nearby communities in a new Literary Digest poll of 10,000«000 persons to ascertain the present popularity of the New Deal and should be distributed by the Post Office locally within a f e w days, according to advice received Sat-urday f rom the magazine's pub-lishers.
Michigan's returns in this new referendum will be tallied as a unit so they may be compared with the voting in other States, it is announced.
The voting of the post-card bal-lots is secret as no signature or other identification is required and the return postage is paid by the magazine. To guard against tampering and counterfeit ing a specially manufactured cardboard is used for print ing the ballot, ac-cording to the sponsors of the poll, and all spurious votes can be detected immediately and de-stroyed.
The ballot asks a yes or no ans-wer to the question: "Do You NOW Approve the Acts and Pol-icies of the Roosevelt 'New Deal' to da te?"
A similar poll to the same 10.-000,000 persons was conducted in the spring of 1934, following the first year of the Roosevelt admin-istration. Final re turns then showed a vote of 01.15 per cent, for the New Deal to 38.85 cent, against it.
Another question on the ballot in the coming referendum asks each voter how he voted in 1932 to ascertain if there has been any shift in political sentiment since the last Presidential election.
Ballots are reported being mailed from the magazine's head-quarters in New York at the rate of over 500,000 per day and will continue until every section of the country has been sent its proport ionate share of the total being mailed.
Publication of the first tabu-lated returns is anticipated some-time in November.
A staff of more than 3,000 ad-ditional employees is reported to have been engaged by I f l e Liter-ary Digest for the mailing of the ballots and the tallving of the re-turns i n ' t h e forthcoming New Deal poll.

Safety Campaign To Cover State
All Michigan is to feel the effects of the safety drive in-augurated in Detroit a short time ago. Governor Frank 1). Fitzger-ald has appointed a committee consisting of the administrative board, Commissioner of stale police Oscar Olander, Insurance (Commissioner John C. Ketcham and William M.

Death again stalked on the highway this week, this time claiming the lives of two promis-ing young men from our neigh-horing community of Caledonia. Kenneth Caffee, 21. son of Sir. and Mrs. John l^ingkamp; and Donald Sherrington, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Sherrington, were killed and Barbara Weave-, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Weavers Kathleen Brown, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed-ward B r o w n : and Joseph Lang-kamp, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Langkamp, were injured when the automobile which Jos-eph l angkamp was driving crash-ed into a guard rail and hurtle*! into the ditch. The accident oc-curred at one o'clock Tuesday morning on the Gaines-Caledonia-rd., a mile and a half north and two miles west . of Caledonia, when the boys were taking the girls to their homes af ter attend-ing a dance in Caledonia.
The driver stated that he ap-
Clied his brakes as they neared a ump in the road, and one of the
front brakes locked, causing the car to leave the road. It is re-ported that the car was traveling at about 50 miles per hour and there was a blinding snowfall which obscured the vision of its occupants.
Miss Weaver suffered a frac-tured pelvis, severe cuts and bruises and shock. Miss Brown received a f ractured right wrist and cuts and bruises. Langkamp received only minor cuts nnd bruises.
Both young men were gradu-ates of Caledonia high school where they had splendid records as students and athletes. Thi ' ir many friends in this vicinity ex-lend their sympathy lo the be-reaved family.
Funeral services for Sherring-ton are being held this (Thurs-day) afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home and at 2 o'clock at the United Brethren church in Cale-donia. Services for Caffee have not been announced, awaiting ar-rival of a bro ther from a north-ern CCC camp.

Since our last week's corner was submitted the Grim Reaper has erased from our list two more respected names, Mrs. Anna Sayles Thibos and Mrs. Earl Caldwell. Both will be sadly missed.
Those of us who attended L. H. S. in 1920-21 will remember what a fascination the sewing class held for our senior-high prin-cipal, Mr. Lester C. Doerr. But who could blame him? The sew-ing teacher was Fair l Mr. Doerr is now principal of Burton School, and on Sundays pastor of the Church of Christ at Cascade, which position he has held the past fourteen years. Miss Fair is now Mrs. Doerr, and with Miss Jane and Master Richard Allen they live at 2301 Union Blvd., SE. Just a block away, at 2332 Paris Ave. we find the former Evelyn Curtiss, now wife of Dr. '^Bob" Lustig and mother of three charm-ing daughters. Evelyn is the youngest sister of "Zell" Yeiter. There are also three charming daughters at 1447 Blaine. SE.— the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alger Dygerl. Mrs. Dygert will be re-membered as Myrl Zahm. Alger is employed by the Consumer's Power Co. Miss Genevieve Gra-ham, aunt of the Dygerts, and a teacher in the Lowell schools for a number of years previous to 1899, is now retired and lives at 042 Cherry St.
Next week we'll tell you about a promising young physician, and maybe another high school prin-cipal.

Absorbing Story Of Beaver Island Lowell Rotarians heard a story
of absorbing interest at their noon-day luncheon on Wednes-day of this week, the speaker be-ing the Rev. Fr. Jewell, pastor of St. Mary's Church, who gave an historical sketch of Beaver Is-land, which lies in Lake Michigan a few miles from the city of Charlevoix. Father Jewell spent eight years on this island where he served as religious teacher, medical advisor, dentist, jurist and government weatherman.
The speaker told a story of King Strang and his ten-year reign over the Mormon colony which he had established there in the 1840's and which was erminated by his assassination
by two men of his following who objected to his edict that the women must wear bloomers. Strang was a member of the Michigan legislature and his was the deciding vote which made Millard Filmore president of the United States. After the death of Strang, his following became dis-organized and withdrew after the island had been captured by Irish fishermen who had been lured to the Michigan waters by the stories of the great fishing grounds in that vicinity. The Irish were descendants of people of their race who had plied their vocation off the Irish coast. These Irish brought with them from the old country their belief in fairies and the speaker told in-teresting instances of their belief in this superstition.
Beaver Island, the largest one of its group, is 13 miles long and eight miles wide. There was con-siderable pine upon the island at one time and, during the height of lumbering operations, had a population of about 1000. The population later fell to about 000. Fishing is the principal occupa-tion of the inhabitants, their catch of white fish and lake trout amounting to about a million pounds yearly.
The month of November marks the birthdays of three of the club members, Harry Day, Pat Beahan and Theron Richmond, who per-formed a required "s tunt" to the entire satisfaction of all.
John Peterson, 58, a Reed City farmer doubtless is greatly em-barrassed. The "eyes" he saw in the rellected glare of a spotlight weren't those of a deer at all. They were the eyes of a 2-year-old heifer. Peterson was taken into custody on a charge of hunt-ing deer with artificial light and pleaded guilty. He chose a nine-ty-day jail term rather than pay a fine of 850 and costs of $10.

C. foot-batl team, pulled out of the line In the closing minutes of last Saturday's game at Ml. Pleasant and oul&ped Fullback Edward Cole to cut down Assumption's safety man on its own 5-yard line, enabling Cote to score the Bearcats' third touchdown, he provided the material for Coach Alex Yunevich's lessons in the art of football f o r the week. The coach was gratified with Burras ' performance and has been en-couraging Bearcat linemen to emulate his actions."

SPRING FLOWERS IN BLOOM
In spite of the snow storms of the past few days, spring flowers are blossoming in the yard cf Mrs. Lewis Jones of Segwun. Yes-terday Mrs. Jones brought bouquet of violets and forget-me-nots to the Ledger office.
A little over a year ago "they say" were telling that the South Boston Grange was on its last legs ami would soon lose its charter all of which" was propa-ganda unwarranted by the facts, and a loyal group of members, headed by the Grange Master, Heuhen Lee, had other ideas.
The community parties spon-sored by the Grange had grown to such proportions that the Ex-ecutive (bmmit tcc was seriously considering limiting them to Grange members. So they decid-ed to start a membership drive that every one in the community might have an opportunity lo take an active part in the Grnnge.
The result was a class of 74 taken through the Four Degrees, the largest class in the history of this Grange. Almost without ex-ception former members rein-stated, a n d t h e membership jumped from 25 to 129. In the state-wide membership contest South 'Boston Grange won second place. The Grnnge winning first was one in Oakland county. At the State Grange in Big Rapids, Mr, l>ec representing South Bos-ton, was presented with a beauti-ful silk American flag on a stand-ard, as the prize in this contest, and also with ten dollars us a re-ward to the Grange fo r increas-ing the membership more than 25. The flag will be presented at the installation of oltlcers which will be Saturday evening, Nov. 23.
In September the executive commitlee decided not to have programs at the community parties, but to dance from 8:30 to 12, and to have Grange meetings and programs on other nights. The dances draw large crowds, and are praised by those attend-ing for the clean way they are conducted.
South Boston Grange is an in-tegral part of the community, and plays an important part in the social and educational life of its members.

Snookie, pet robin of Mrs. L. B. Spafford of Buchanan paid with its life for daring lo swallow a bee. Before the insect died it in-flicted fatal slings somewhere in-side the bird. Snookie's death happened a year and a half a f t e r Spafford had found it flounder-ing in the doorway, where it had fallen from the nest. Snookie at first was fed by Mrs. Spafford. and it grew enlirely dependent upon her, until finally the family had to "wean" it into picking up its own food. A box of earth was
Ftlaced in his cage, and the robin earned to scratch for the worms
with which it was stocked. But when Mr. and Mrs. Spafford left home on a visit, Snookie refused food from anyone else. After that they took it with them. Last spring Spafford built a large cage of wire mesh outside the house so that Snookie could go from the living room at its convenience. The bird retained only one wild instinct, fear of hawks. Whenever any large shadow passed over the outdoor cage, it would crouch in terror . Several times the Spaf-fords turned the robin loose with the idea of allowing its freedom. It hopped about the yard, flew up into nearby trees, but at night al-ways came to the door and called until its mistress admitted it.

RECENT MICHIGAN EARTH-
QUAKE NOT UNIQUE
TH E E A R T H Q U A K E felt in
Michigan a t 1:08 A. M. on November 1, which dislocated
the needle of the University seis-mograph. was merely one of a known series beRinninp as early as the year 1663. when Jesuit miss-ionarios wrote of n qunkc of con-siderable violence, according lo Professor William H. Hobbs, Uni-versity of Michigan gcolopist and student of ear th t remors.
D.'spite the fact that many mi-nor shocks have been felt f rom time to t ime in Michigan and near-by states , there is little liklihood of the occurrence of quakes severe enough to cause much damage or loss of life, s ta tes Professor Hobbs. Although without complete details on the recent t remor , he predicted that It probably originated in mi-nor slipping of underlying rocks in the vicinity of Lake Erie.
The gradual r ising of the land in the Great Lakes region since the passing of the last great glacier explains the quakes in this section. The Immediate cause of any part i-cu lar quake in a slipping or sliding of the underlying layers of rock, as changes in s t ra ins upon them occur. Because the rock layers in this section of the country a r e well "settled", however, the slips which do occur are comparatively slight.
F rom 1663 to 1072 the records of the Jesuit pr iests show eight quakes and others were reported before and a f t e r Revolutionary W a r times. In 1811 and 1813. the grea t Mississippi Valley ear th-quakes were felt here, a Judge J a m e s Witherell writ ing tha t they "caused shade t rees to wave con-siderably north and south." In 18-84 a t remor affected Michigan. Indiana and Ohio and was also noticed by workmen on the Wash-ington Monument, then 500 feet high. This quake was sharp enough to cause alarm a t many points in the iower part of the State.
While most of the Michigan quakes seem to have been most noticeable in the lower portion of the State. Calumet and Lake Lin-den experienced a tremor in 1905 which brought down many chim-neys end broke large plate glass windows. Other local d is turbances in the mining region were not in-f r equen t nayi caused movements of the", railroad t racks in the vic-inity of the pits. In 1909 a quake was distinctly felt along the Lake Michigan shore and inland to Lan-sing. while in 1925 Detroiters were disturbed by a minor one. All In all. Michigan has little to fea r f rom Mother Ea r th ' s spells of ague. Only n very few of the t remblings recorded by the delicate seismo-graph are strong enough even to be detected by man.
T IDES OF PUBLIC OPINION
ELECTIONS held in several s ta tes November 5 showed some remarkable results, ar.d
will be variously interpreted by the politicians. It takes a wise man to forecast accurately the t ides of public opinion reflected in such contests, and a still wiser one lo tell how long and how powerful ly those tides will flow.
Before an election, it is cust-o m a r y for the part isans of each side to issue confident s t a t ements of victory. Tha t is part of the s t ra tegy of politics. Many people d r i f t with the current or like to be on the winning side. Hence many votes are lost If the leaders of any cause admit defeat in advance.
Public opinion is extremely diffi-cult to forecast . Even the political experts and specialists whose busi-ness is to get t he facts impart ial ly and report wha t they actually find r a t h e r than what they wish for. are of ten extremely puzzled in their a t t empt to f a thom t h e thought of the voters.
The tides of opinion a re a deep swelling force which s u r g e s through millions of silent minds. The quiet home folks w h o deter-mine election results do not us-ually say much about w h a t they think. The ora tors and the fas t t a lkers a re clamoring on every p la t fo rm and in every hang-out. Meanwhile, the people a re doing a grea t deal of quiet th ink ing and observing. They watch how th ings go, they consult their own person-
the al experience, r a t h e r than th ings tha t are told to them.
The American people have the i r moods and humors. In tempers of exasperat ion they reach out to hit somebody or some cause which they think created their troubles. But in the long run. a kind of com-mon-sense judgmen t is apt to sway their verdicts.
MICHIGAN POTATOES
TH E R E WAS a t ime in the dim and dis tant pas t when Pull-man dining ca r s and big city
hotel menus fea tured "Greenville Pota toes" on the bill of fare. Tha t was dur ing the days when Green-ville was recognized a s the pota to capital of the nat ion, and the re was a nationwide demand for tu-bers grown in tha t section. T ime has worked its changes and the potato growing cen te r s have been t r ans fe r red to Idaho and Maine. Pe rhaps they were a bit more mod jrn in marke t ing their crops, changing f r o m the baskets a n d cra tes of the pioneers to neat Jute sacks filled with careful ly graded stocks. All this has tended to de-crease the foreign marke t for Michigan potatoes, and has ser-iously threatened it r ight he re in Michigan where the quality and flavor of potatoes grown on Mich-igan soil are so well known. Now with the South plant ing unused cotton lands to potatoes, with the government forced to control one agr icul tural crop a f t e r another , the growers of Michigan are given an allotment of 14 million bushels which will keep some seven mil-lion bushels f rom f inding a marke t unless a tax of 45 cents a bushel is paid on the surplus. Why ar-gue on the mer i t s or demeri ts of the potato control ac t? Exper-ience and actual results are a f t e r a l l the best a rgument . When Michigan potato growers realize that Maine. Idaho and New York h a v e through government pro-nouncement stolen their m a r k e t away they will have plenty to say on the subject f a r outweighing any editorial which the keenest mind might wri te on the subject.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS
"Slight not what 's near throug aiming at what 's fa r , " said ol Euripides in Greece 2300 years ago. So today innumerable 4)eo-ple overlook the opportunit ies close at hand, whi le searching for those far away.
If you constantly hope f o r quitt ing time to come, your em-ployer will probably hope fo r the t ime when you will quit.
When people hear a noise, they look or run to see what caused it. Make a noise in the world by ad-vertising.
The whitetailed deer of Michi-gan is capable of reaching up lo a height of nine feet in a t ree in its quest fo r food.
Approximately 025,000 Michi-gan fishing licenses fo r 1930 resi-dent, non-resident and special, will go on sale throughout the state next month.

SIMPLICITY
Give me but the simple th ings of life
F a r away f rom soul and money hoard ing s t r i fe ;
Where I can calmly sit me down and muse
And a i r to simple hear ted folk— my simple views.
My views of life, of living, death— and dally toll.
The joy of watch ing one green sp rou t r e tu rn f rom soli;
Then see it bloom, ripen, wi ther and decay.
At last f r o m ear th ly sight to pass away.
Such th ings do sadden all It seems. Until next the t u r n i n g of the
green. Rise up t ha t se l fsame weed. In the midst of all Its seed. In the dea th of tha t one living
thing w a s need, To show such simple folk a s I, T h a t dea th can m a k e more beauti-
ful t he place. Where once one living th ing did
grace. These a re the views tha t pass with-
in my yard. Over hill and valley—all ea r th
wide. So thus I sit and muse to hear t ' s
desire. Dreaming of such wonders multi-
plied. And so I'll s t r ive to let my life
more like them grow. Rich in simple beauties t ha t I
know. T h a t each succeeding year , I might
approach still more, An image of the simple th ings of
llf> t ha t g row about my door. —Mildred H e r m a n .

The solid steel Turret Top Fisher body is now used on the Standard as well as the Maater De Luxe modela.
Either Knee-Action or conventional springing may be had in the Master models. The illustrations show: Top left, the Matter De Luxe sport sedan, with built-in trunk; top right, the re-styled, deeply moulded radiator grille, used on all models; lower left, the simple arrangement of Chevrolet's perfected hydraulic brskes, all models; and, lower right, a Standard sedan.

WITH NEW STANDARD REDCHOWN
SOME surprising new discoveries have
been made recently about what it takes
to start a cold automobile engine—start it
and warm it up to full, smooth drive-away
power faster.
For many years Standard's research staff
has been at work on this problem. N o t satis-
fied with Isboratory experiment alone, they
have conducted thousands of road tests—in
all sorts of temperatures—using all sorts of
gasol ine formulas.
And n o w they come forward with a
motor fuel that is different, in many respects.
from any that ever went into a gasol ine tank
before—a motor fuel which embodies all
these newly discovered principles—which
really i s quick starting without the draw*
backs that so often g o with that quality.
Th i s new Standard Red Crown starts at
the first flash of the spark. But o n top of
that it has fully 35 % faster warm-up speed in
zero temperatures. Actually it wi l l get your
car started and under way as quickly and
easily in mid-winter as in mid-summer.
You'll be free from vapor lock. You'l l get
better winter mileage. Try it!
It's ready m the pumps now—where you see the sign of STANDARD OIL SERVICE.
• • * •
O n e s u g g e s t i o n : Because this new Double-Quick gasol ine does
turn o n full power in a co ld engine so quickly, the use of a l ight
grade of winter motor o i l i s desirable to assure instant, active
lubrication o f all moving pans . I s o . V i s " D " — I 0 - W or 2 0 - W
—is a perfect running mate for the new Standard Red Crown.

Our people are convinced that those who would trade their lib-erty for bread are invariably cheated out of both. Our people do nol believe that indolence and failure are to be prized or that energy and success are to be punished. They do not believe that they can be taxed into flow-ery beds of ease.

The Lowell Woman's Club met on Nov. (i at the home of Mrs. W. I. Burdick.
The president. Mrs. John Tay-lor. gave a wonderful report of the meeting of the Sfate Federa-tion of Women's Clubs held in Ann Arbor.
"World Peace" was the sub-ject of the day, wilh Mrs. A. S. Bennett, chairman, and Miss Audie Posl assistant. Although Mrs. Bennett expressed the feel-ing that the subject of "World Peace" is a vast one, her paper covered pretty much the causes of war, and the possibilities of peace. Her comments in brief were as follows: "That war is against the will of God, and does not pay, yet we have a militaris-tic world, with countries always ready to fight. War is started usually for gain or glory by the money class, not by the common people. We want peace, but. not as promoted by our enemies. During the world war it cost $25,000 to kill one soldier, most of which went into the pockets of ammunition manufacturers. To bring about peace we must bury all hate and greed, and replace it with love and good will"
Miss Post read an article from Scribner's. "Stopping Wars an 1 Starting Gardens," by Beverley Nichols. It began by "stating that the Kaiser is chopping logs in his Dutch garden. If he had done this before the war. there would have been no war. The writer regards gardening in terms of commerce, that there is a race be-tween men who are mad and men who are sane. She called the philosophy of the garden one of peace and sanity and said that if all men were gardeners there would be no more wars. A very vivid and enlightening descrip-tion was given of a visit by Miss Nichols to the peace conference at Geneva.
The next numbers on the pro-gram were given bv two hign school girls. Sarah Rannan. who gave the cantellation. "The Patch-work Quilt." accompanied by Miss Charlotte White, and Jac-quejine Day, who played two se-lections on the accordian, "El Cabalero" and "Sweet Violets."
Two poems were then read, the first by Miss Post, "The Philos-opher's Scales," by Jane Taylor; Mrs. Rennett read "Peace" by Edgar Guest.
The club then sang "Onward Christian Soldiers," after which they adjourned to meet Wednes-day. Nov. 24. at the home of Mrs. Ia-o Denny. The subject will be "New England iHpmes."

New Market Foond For Michigan Beans
Ten carloads of Michigan beans are moving to San Francisco can-ners, via Baltimore and the Pan-ama canal. This is the first quantity sale ever made of Mich-igan beans to this company. The purchasing agent of the cannery told the Michigan sales agency that Michigan beans were exact-ly what this company wanted.
The sale is very encouraging as California grown beans have been one of the chief competitors with the Michigan product. Assurance was given by the buyers that larger quantities would be bought if the present shipment meets ex-pectations.

Student* Are Warned
State Seeks Data On Auto Crashes Possibly the most powerful
weapon the state of Michigan may ever possess in its war against unfit or dangerous driv-ers. is being built up in steel fil-ing cabinets in the Department of State where a central violations file is being assembled. Reports have been requested from every prosecuting attorney in the state, of all convictions for violation of motor vehicle laws, and from every police department in Mich-igan of all automobile accidents reported to them which result in injury or death.
The ultimate goal of the plan is that the true and complete driv-ing record of every person in the state, licensed to drive or not, shall be available on one card, against which applications for a driver's license can be checked. It is expected that this central violations bureau will be thtt means of eventually eliminating many dangerous drivers who might never get into serious criminal or civil suits as the re-sult of their mishaps.
The Michigan State Police co-operate fully in building up this file. Wilh complete cooperation of officials throughout the state, it is visualized that if a Detroit man, for example, is involved in a crash at Marquette, for in-stance, it would be only a matter of routine, a few days later, to enter this fact on his card in the central violations file. He would be confronted with his record when he applied for his driver's license. The Secretary of State may refuse to issue these licenses for cause.
Coming Events The local American Legion
Auxiliary will meet at the home of Mrs. Wm. C. Doyle, instead of wilh Mrs. N. E. Borgerson, on Monday evening, Nov. 18, at eight o'clock.
Several attempts by alleged representativei of correspondence schools to fleece students have been brought to the attention of the Department of Public Instruc-tion recently.
In one case a suspected agent is under arrest. In another case tho home oflice of the school is mak-ing adjustments satisfactory to local school officials.
Superintendents and principals are urged to caution students against signing any kind of con-tract. or making any down pay-ment until they have investigated the reliability of the company.
The State Department h a s available information as to ap-proved schools, and will answer all inquiries from students or school officials.

lieve all they read in the automo-bile advertisements about the xiblic demand for new bodv ines because forty of the animafs

The average price paid at the sale was $193.79 and the high

little more than $50 per head higher than grades of the same type and weight. The sales com-mittee had difficulty in locating in Michigan sufficient high class animals for the sale and the com-mittee predicts a brisk trade in horses next spring.

How Soon Rifor Mortis Sets In The length of time before rigor
mortis sets fn after death depends on the Individual and the cause of death. Rigor mortis means stiffen-ing of the body and usually occurs from one to seven hours after death, due to the hardening of the muscu-lar tissues In consequence of the coagulation of the myostnogen and paramyosinogen; tt disappears aft-er from one to five or six days, or when decomposition begins.
Why Auto WlieeU Are Cambered Camber means that the wheels
are closer together at the bottom due to the steering knuckle spindle being placed at an angle Instead of being perfectly vertical. Thus the wheels toe in. The purpose Is to bring the point of contact of the tires with the road more nearly un-der the spindle pins or king bolts, thus permitting the car to be steered more easily.
Wky 'To Let" a Hmue •To let" Is a very old meaning of
the little word, to permit or allow. At one time, agreements permitted or "let" a person occupy a house. From this we acquired the habit of talking about "letting a house." and naturally enough, such a house was described as being "to let"— Answers Magnr.lne,

A SENSATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENT • N O W ! Brand new modern tubes—a material improvement over glass tubes. Metal tubes elim-inate breakage difficulties and the almost impos-sible problems connected with making uniform, balanced tubes with glass. Glass is a very difficult material to mold to exact sizes. With metal, it is possible to work to tolerance of one ten-thousandth of an indh—so now, for the first time, it is possible to make perfectly matched tubes, which are abso-lutely essential to secure the best in modern radio reception. Demand metal tubes in the radio you buy.
BETTER P E R F O R M A N C E Grtmter Sensitivity. Metal tubes give greater sensi-ttrity so you can reach out and get distant American and foreign stations louder, clearer, and with less distortion and bener tone.
Intrtastd Selectivity. Separate stations better, less interference, finer reception. Because of the per-fect self shielding in metal tubes it's possible to work the tubes to higher capacities in the radio circuit without oscillation—this enables getting the most from every tube. So, in the new 1936 Grunow radio you get performance in tone, sensitivity, vol-ume and selectivity—that was not possible until the

The "Vulture" had come up the Hudaon, bringing MaJ. John Andre to establish contact with Arnold. Andre was pnt ashore to meet Ar-nold and the "Vnltnre" dropped anchor to wait
A certain Colonel Livingston re-garded the presence of the enemy ship as something of an Insult Be asked Col. John Lamb to lend htm a gun and some powder. Lamb re-fused at first
But Livingston persisted until he got the gun. Then he opened Are on the "Vulture" and his bombard-ment was so annoying that the sloop moved down the river.
When Andre was ready to return, the oarsmen hired to row him out to the British ship were too taxy to go the extra distance So the only thing to do was to send htm south by land. But Andre got lost blundered Into the hands of three American militiamen who turned him over to a Continental officer. The result la history—the betrayal of Arnold's treason plot and the saving of West Point
