Ada Township
Judge's Ruling iavors Mobile Home Park
Saying he wished he could preserve the "very pleasant rural chiracteristics" of Ada Township, Circuit Court Judge George V. Boucher ruled he nevertheless had to permit development of a 220-unit mobile home park there.
Judge Boucher said his decision last Friday was compelled by the "profound reversal" of high court rulings in the last few years which have held that low-cost housing is in the general welfare even though it may be unpleasant to other residents in an area.
No part of Ada lies more than a short drive from downtown Grand Rapids, but the township has been able topreaerve its ' rural charicertistics, Judge Boucher said after inspecting the 60-acre site on Egypt Valley Rd., a mile north of Knapp St., NE.
"Zoning laws cannot operate for the sake of excluding a cer-tain dass of d w e l l e r s J u d g e Boucher said. "There is a public need in Kent County for the availability of more sites (tor low-cost housing). . . . for the benefit of the wider interest.
"Ahhovgh certainly if the court wat t mHfai of Ada Townr v
ship, it would want to see Ada preseme its very pleasant rural characteristics, it is compelled by the facts and the present state of law."
The decision forced Ada officials to allow Simon Enterprises to develop the park on the relatively isolated tract.
"Intentional exclusion of mobile home parks is illegal," mtid Quinn. The township's refusal of a building permit was a "delib-erate attempt to exdude unpopular, perhaps unpleasant use of land."
Extend Drive! Such tremendous response to their paper drive was received,
that the Lowell Area Jaycees have decided to extend then drive for another week.
This Saturday, February 26, the Jaycees will be at work try-ing to catch up on collections yet to be made, and pick up any new stops that they missed during the past three weeks.
If the Jaycees were unable to pick up your papers previous-ly, please call 897-8853 or contact any Jaycee member, and they'll make the proper arrangenw.ts for this Saturday's pick up.
Magazine Drive At Forest Hills
Friday, March 3, is the kick-off date for the annual Forest Hills Junior High Magazine Drive.
The junior high urges area residents to renew their expired magazine subscriptions with the school's program. Reduced rate form or coupon deals from any magazine listed in the school's sales booklet can be used with Forest Hills still receiving full credit for the sale. Enclose any special coupon offer with the completed magazine drive order form.
The drive will continue through March 20. Call the school office at 676-9177 if there are questions concerning the project.
Jury Returns Guilty Verdict
An Ionia County Circuit Court jury of nine women and three men deliberated several hours Fridiay night, before returning a verdict charging Dale L Green, 28, with felonious assault.
Green had originally been arrested by Ionia State Police last October, when he had been accused of rape and assault with a •rtaay tons wcapca 9«*.Lowc&woiiiau. Batfe w r r t employed In an Ada factory.
The case went to the jury about S:SS p.m. and then was re-cessed about 7:30 p.m. for an evening meal. Following more deliberation, jury members indicated about 9:10 p.m. they had reached their decision to the second count.
Green was brought to Ionia's Court room by an officer from the Lowell Police Department, where he is being held on a sim-ilar charge of assault He reportedly had threatened the Lowell woman with a shotgun while both were in his home for several hours.
Meanwhile the case is to be continued for pre-sentence in-vestigation.
Home Entered, Robbed
Some money, a hunting knife, and a wristwatch were taken February 19 from the LeRoy Roudabash home at 961 North Hudson Street
O r February 20, Lowell Police arrested a runaway youth who confessed to the Entry and Larceny of the dwelling.
howboat Shows Marginal Profit Although the profits realized from the 1971 Lowell Show-
boat were marginal ($1,04232), the comeback over the heavy financial loss in 1970, brought renewed vigor into the setting for the 1972 show.
In releasing the *71 financial statement at the annual Cham-ber of Commerce-Showboat dinner last Thursday evening. Show-boat president Larry Wittenbach, revealed that the Corporation spent $46,667.44, and recorded receipts of S47,709.76.
Continuing with their two week end performances this year, Wittenbach informed that tire 1972 talent had been selected and the ground work for this year's showing will now go into full scale production.
Jerry Reed, a man of many talents (song writing, singing, commedian) who will be the summer replacement on the Glenn Campbell show will h t t d l n e the first week end show. The "Hon-ey" guy, Bobby Goldsboro, who fascinates his listeners with true to4ife songs, and who also writes for other singers, and similar to Ray Stevens in his presentations, will star in the sec-one week end.
Although the profits realized in 1971 will be eaten away by boat repairs and bleacher maintenance, Wittenbach added that the Showboat had don; more in 1971 than any other year.
Revive Main Street
"We've got to revive Main Street," was the forceful words of Jack Bsggs, president of the Lowell Area Oram her of Com-merce, as he brought out the 1971 resume of the Chamber's ac-tivities.
The facelifting along Main Street was a disappointment to the Chamber in 1971, as the Lowell Cafe was the only firm to nuke any drastic changes. The Cafe won the most improved in-terior chamber award.
An exterior renovation project started in 1970 by the Roth-Gerst Funeral Home walked off with top honors in that improve-ment department. The only business to make a move. The Speerstra Agency, took the third Quunber award for the year.
The president's gavel was then turned over to Mrs. Darlene Cahoon, who will head the Chamber througi their activities in 1972. Joining the Chamber's board of directors were the newly-elected members. Marge Sevadas of the Debonaire Stop, Rich-ard Brian of Fairchild Oil Company and Art Warning of Art's TV.
Beggs, before leaving his term of office, expressed his thanks for the cooperation he received on the Chamber's "light Lowell for Christmas from the community's service Club, the Jaycees, Lowell Light and Power, and all who took a part in the cam-paign to raise funds.
The joint meeting, following a deliciously prepared meal serv-ed in the First United M ethodist Church of Lowell, was brought to an end by a speech presented by Rommie Moore, executive secretary of the Lowell YMCA.

Council Establishes Housing Commission
Lowell's City Council passed an ordinance Monday night that would establish the Lowell Housing Commission to plan and operate housing for low income citizens of the city.
The five member commission, to be appointed by the City Manager Blaine Bacon will be solely responsible for the planning and operation of any senior citizen or low income family hous-ing units built under the Department of Housing and Urban De-velopment.
It is hoped that the housing developments will be a part of the Urban Renewal of a large section of the ea£t side of the city. Approval for submitting a workable program to obtain approval for Urban Renewal was given to planning consultant John Paul Jones at the council meeting of February 7.
EDO Funds For Police
Lowell has been informed by Kent County that an applica-tion for funding for an additional police officer with Emergency
Absentee Bullets Mude Avuiluble
Absentee ballots for the coming March 6 school election are now available in the superintendent's office. The office is located in the Bushnell Elementary building, 700 Elizabeth Street.
Individuals who will not be in Lowell on election day may apply for their absentee ballots each week day from 8 a.m. to S p.m. and on one Saturday, March 4, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
It is necessary for the individual who wants the absentee bal-lot to fill in the application form in his own handwriting. Those voters who come into the office may fiU out the form and re-ceive their ballots at the same time.
However, if the voter is out-of-town now and will not return before the election, an application can be sent to them to be filled out and returned before the ballot is mailed.
If the individual feels that there will not be time to allow for the mailing of both the application and the ballot, he may write a letter in his own handwriting asking that the ballot be mailed to him but he must state in the letter that he will not be in Lowell on election day and must also state the reason why. All absentee ballots must be returned at least by election day.
As with many official ballots, the wording on the proposal to set the tax limitation is somewhat misleadinR, according to School Superintendent Leonard Sinkc. The superintendent made it clear that although the ballot says the limitation is to be in-creased, it merely means increased from zero to 12.5 mills, since the millage has now expired in full. The 12.S is merely a continuation of the same amount under which the school is presently operating.

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Suidrvar of Donna Drive, Lowell, are the hosts who will greet you-and along with their business partner, John (Topol Ybarra will see that you are served the menu of your choice. The Saldivars, formerly of Alto, have resided in Lowell for the past several
School Will Be Closed
School will be closed for one-half day on Thursday, March 2. Those students who begin their school day at 8 a j n . , will be dismissed at 11 a.m., and those who begin their school day at 9 a jn . , will be dismissed at 12 noon.
An inservice meeting for teachers has been scheduled for that afternoon.
Board Established To Govern 4-H Fair
The Kent County 4-H Youth Fair has established its govern-ing body for the 1972 County Fair to be held this year. August 7-12, at the Lowell 4-H Fairgrounds.
E. L Phelps from Cedar Springs was voted in as President, followed by Bud Fairbrother from Caledonia elected as Vice-President Miss Lee Thome from Comstock Park will assume the duties as Secretary-Treasurer.
New Fair directors elected were Marvin Bunn, Richard Criss-man, and Ken Fitzsimmons. Junior Directors elected include Claire Renton, Ed Gillet Ray Jakolat, Dave Pedley, and Lee Thome.
The Kent County 4-H Fair is expected to be even bigger this year. An important change evident in the 1972 Kent County 4-H Youf l Fair is the extension of the Fair to include a Satur-day date.
Employment Act Funds should be made now. Under this pro-gram federal funds would be used to pay wages, but the city would have to pay training expenses and fringe benefits which amount to 30% of salary.
This program is presently funded only until August, but ad-ditional funds are expected to be provided. The council tabled action on application for these funds until further investigation has been made.
Mayor Carlen Anderson appointed Councilman James Hall to serve as the council's representative on ihe Showboat Board of Directors. Anderson will represent the city on the committee being formed by Lowell and Vergennes Township to plan an ap-preciation dinner for the Lowell Fire Department.
The council also approved the application by Kroger for a li-cense to sell beer and wine at their Lowell store.
Retury Finns Twin Travelog
\
v MONROE MacPHERSON
Lowell Rotary Qub will sponsor a double-feature travelog Thursday, March 23, at 8 p.m. that should be of special interest to many area residents. The films are "Irish Holiday" and "Hol-iday in The Highlands," made and presented by Monroe Mac-Pherson, president of radio stations WION and WYON.
"Irish Holiday" tours Dublin and travels to ancient monaster-ies that flourished well over a thousand years ago - visits the famous Powerscourt and Muckross Estates, McNamara Castle and includes the beautiful mountains of the Killarney lakes area.
The second film was made while MacPherson traveled more than 1,800 miles throughout the Scottish Hol lands , said to be one of the most beautiful areas on earth. During his travels in Scotland, MacPherson spent several days in what is known as MacPherson Country, the home of his ancestors, where the MacPherson Clan Museum and Castle are 1 oca ted.
The film shows numerous castles, mountains, waterfalls, and is climaxed by the Royal Highland Games at Bramaer, visited annually by members of the royal family.
MacPherson will give a personal commentary on the films with a background of authentic Irish and Scottish music, in stereo. He has made similar films in Holland, Belgium, Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Acapulco, Bahamas, Japan, Hong Kong and other areas of the world.
The films will be presented in the auditorium at Lowell High School. Tickets are available from any Rotarian.
Can You Do The Can-Can?
Members of Students to Overcome Pollution (S.T.OJ*.), the Forest Hills senior high ecology group, ply the area suburbs ev-ery Wednesday after school asking unsuspecting residents the question, "Can you do the can-can?" Fdlowing the initial shock they also ask, "Can you do the paper-paper?"
A burlesque revival? . . . Hardly. It 's more like a determined ten student confederation concerned with interesting an ever-growing ever-consuming public in the need for recyding. Appar-ently they are successful, having collected over 100 tons of news-papers and 25,000 lbs. of tin cans in five previous drives.
Lori Bone, S.T.OJ*. Vice-President and original member, demonstrated the "can-can." Fi rs t she rinsed out a soup can, removed the label, and removed the remaining lid. Then, with one swift kick, she flattened the can. The can was then stored awaiting the weekend of the recycling drive.
The "paper-paper" consists merely of neatly bundling and stacking newspapers between collection drives instead of burn-ing them or throwing them in the garbage.
Residents have received the program well, responding with heavy paper bundles and noisy gunny sacks loaded with tin cans (no aluminum, please). On the weekend of March 17,18 and 19 students will again man semi-trailers f rom Packaging Corporation of America and can bins from Padnos Iron and Metal Company in the high school parking lot with hopes of a record drive.
Monies earned go towards helping other environmental or-ganizations. planting trees, developing parks, etc. For further information on group activliies call 949-2054 or 361-0373.

Third In Series
Chief Object ive Is To Prevent Blindness
In 1971, individuals, small businesses and major firms in Kent County raised a total of $2,365,203 for the United Fund cam-paign. The following article is the third in a series which is part of the United Fundus conUnuing effort to inform contributors about how their money is spent to help others and to educate the public as to the seivices available.
Pete Adams celebrated his 37th birthday last summer with cake and ice cream and a new set of golf clubs. Happily married and the father of two young sons, he was making good money as a draftsman for an architectural firm. His only health prob-lem was diabetes. Three months later, a fall day dawned bright and sunny but Pete Adams awakened to a world of total darkness.
Cases like Pete Adams' have become increasingly common in recent years. Diabetes is now a leading cause of blindness. For most of its victims, loss of sight comes gradually; some retain or reaain partial sight or the ability to distinguish between light and dark. Others are destined to live in a i world of total dark-
ness. Without proper rehabilitation opportunities, loss of s
lead to a lifetime of dependence. For the 1,000 legally t
rsrsons Hving in Kent County, the Association for the Blind, 15 Sheldon St. S.E., Grand Rapids, provides an avenue to In-
it can or the 1,000 legally bUnd
dependence. The Association's comprehensive rehabilitation program
helps the blind person through the difficult initial period of per-sonal adjustment. The program provides expert mobility train-ing and Instruction in cane travel, braille and scriptwriting. It teaches the individual how to resume many of his normal daily activities and points him toward a suitable vocation.
When a blind person comes to the Association for rehabilita-tion, he undergoes an intensive evaluation and is then placed in a 14-week rehabilitation program designed to help him accept his disability, concenUate on his remaining abilities and make him as independent as possible.
In the Association's model apartment, a young mother can learn to readjust to her environment, to perform routine house-hold tasks such as vacuuming, making beds and washing dishes-even to cook with the aid of a braille cookbook entitled "Cook-ing Without Looking."
Though the Association provides many services for the blind and partially sighted, its chief objective is to prevent blindness. Educating the public to the causes of blindness and to preventa-tive eye care are important functions of the agency. The Associ-ation arranges eye examinations and the purchase of glasses for the medically indigent.
Last year, the Association provided services to 650 blind per-sons of all ages from an area which extends beyond Kent Coun-ty. The agency is the only rehabilitation facility for the blind in Michigan outside of Detroit and Kalamazoo.
The Association, like its Tri-Agency partners, the Hearing and Speech Center and Goodwill Industries, believes strongly in cooperating with public and private agencies to provide bet-ter and more efficient services.
Next: How die Hearing and Speech Center prevents the p u r chase of unnecesstry or unsuitable hearing aids and provides other seivices to those with heating and speech problems.

Last Saturday the Arrows' Wrestling team took their second consecutive district title here after edging out Sparta and Ovid-Elsie by 8H points.
Lowell nipped the trophy by qualifying seven wrestlers for the regional tourney coming up her? this Saturday. 98 pounder Gary Wiemer who has come on exceptionally, earning a 20-6-1 record this year took his first win of the day, pinning Dave Cul-ligan of Comstock Park and then qualified by taking a 2-0 win over Fred Trumble of Maple Valley in the finals.
Junior Dale Dawson was the Arrows' second qualifier of the day, pinning in both of his matches.
George Mauric, wrestling the 112 lb. division took his first victory in a judges overtime decision but then had to face ex-state runnerup Steve VanOfflen in the finals. Mauric held off the pin but went down in a 10-0 decision.
Mack Truax gave Arrow fans a little surprise when he came through in all three of his matches to qualify for the regionals.
Bob Helmer was also slated to wrestle three matches but fell after winning his first match and losing his second.
Another surprise of the day came when sophomore Jerry Kropf pulled off two wins, one a 6-2 decision, the other a 2 min-ute oin.

VK \ Lowell Bids For The Red Arrows setded into third place in the conference
standings after taking a 60-69 victory over Lakewood Friday night and the showdown is near.
This Friday night Lowell will clash with Coopersville here for second place position in the conference race.
Coopersville is only one game up on Lowell and if the Arrows play like they did against Lakewood it will mean a tie for sec-ond place in the conference.
Eailicr last week Lowell faccd Ionia for the second time of the season and it was easy to see how far the Arrows had come along.
In the opener against Ionia Lowell was nearly blanked all around but this time Ionia met much more resistance.
The first quarter scoring was close with the bulldogs only two points ahead at the buzzer, but the second and third quar-ter are what put the game away for Ionia.
The bulldogs used a lightning quick offense to stack up 51 points in the second and third period while the Arrows picked up only 27.
The Bulldogs' offense was still hot in the final period and so was the Arrows. The two teams battled it out and Lowell only gained one point on the West Central Conference leaders and the final score was 62-87. The only Anow player to hit double

figures was junior Dan Murphy, making 11, receiving moat of his help from Chris Collins, Jim Bovee and Pat Herblet, who all hit for eight points apiece.
The Arrows took the win over Lakewood mainly on defense but the teamwork on offense was working the ball well. Lowell led 16-14 at the first quarter mark but shot well into the lead by the end of the half, 21-37.
The first half scoring was led by senior Pat Herblet hitting 11 points and Chris Collins pitched in eighC
The third period was a different story. Lakewood cam e back on the floor and took eight quick points while the Arrows were still trying to break the ice. Lowell's defense was unable to do much but slightly slow Lakewood's scoring while on offense the Arrows could only sink 11 points to Lakewood's 20.
The fourth quarter was again rather tough. At one point Low-ell led by a mere two points but Lakewood had the same prob-lem, they did at the last clash, fouls.
In the fourth period the Arrows went to the line 16 times for 11 points and enough to clinch the game.
The game high scoter was Herblet with 19 points, nine from the charity line. Jim Bovee followed with 15 and 12 rebounds.
Rusty Steffens commanded the boards exceptionally well and boosted the Arrows' scoring with 13 points.
Senior Chris Collins made 12 wliile Dan Murphy and Kris Kropf wound up the scoring with 6 and 4 respectively.

Rangers Put 3 In Regionals
Forest Hills placed seventh in a field of twraty schools at the Cass A District wrestling tournament held last Saturday at Union High School. Three Ranger wrestlers qualified for the Regional Meet scheduled for this Saturday at Union. The team trophy went to Proitport of the Lake Michigan Athletic Con-ference when they edged Muskegon Mona Shores.
Craig Neidenthal upset highly-seeded Dennis Hearth of Union with a 13-6 decision. Neidenthal whipped West Catholic's Dave Tittancannon 1M in his preliminary bout.
A regional berth also went to Tom Sypien who registered pins in both his matches. The first was over West Ottawa's Dale Koleman 2:52 followed by his qualifying pin on Gene Suslie-wicz of West Catholic. Sypien, who finished third in last year's state meet at 98 lbs., has gone undefeated since reaching his piesent 108 lb. weight class.
Steve Shuster kept visions of a state title alive with three pins lifting his season record to 26-1. Frank Mix of Hasting's fell at 1:59, Kentwood's John Park at 1:28, and Grandville's Shawn Whitcomb at 3:42. Shustrr has won twenty-four straight, includ-ing a pin on Rockford's Lee Sowerby, who nailed Steve with his only luss on a one-point decision.
Disappointment struck Jerry Johnson, Forest Hills' top-seeded 122 pounder, in his first match. Ottawa Hills' Jack Fel-ton ended Johnson's high school wrestling car-cr with a 5:44 pin.
Another gutsy senior, Larry Deibel, finished four years of wrestling under Coach Chuck Mathews, dropping a 4-3 decision to Central's Dan Campos. In his first match Deibel outmoved Muskegon's Alvaro Martinez 5-2. Last week Deibel was runner-up in the O-K Red Conference meet at 114 lbs.
The only other Forest Hills pointmaker was Lee Champion at 129 lbs., winning his first match over Ottawa Hills' Don Partee 4-0 before losing in the finals to Muskegon's Lamark Bell 11-6.
Mark Kelley, Brad Gregory, Don Ashley, Jim Salzwedal, Gordy Simons, and Dennis Hill were all eliminated in the first round. — " ,
Junior Varsity Lose Squeakers
The past two weeks have been very tough on the Lowell Junior Varsity basketball team. Fresh from their defeat of " league-leading Greenville, the JVs defeated Sparta 56-45 and looked like a title contender again. But a 77-75 at the buzzer loss at Cedar Springs closed out all title hopes for the Red Arrows.
Cedar led 47-31 at the half and by as much as 22 points in the third quarter, but the Lowell press and fast break closed the gap and Lowell led 75-71 with 40 seconds remaining. Cedar came down court and scored on a 35 foot jump shot Lowell brought the ball down, but was called for traveling. Cedar got the ball and scored on a 30 foot jump shot.
Loweli brought the ball down court and while working for the last shot was called for a 3-second lane violation. Cedar had 8 seconds left on the clock. Their shtt theiball, it was tipped several times and as the buzzer sounded it fell through the bas-ket. Willie Harden led all scorers with 28 points followed by Tony Malcolm with 12 and Bob Chapman with 11. Jeff Pierce and Don PhiDips cach had nine points.
Lowell traveled to Ionia and fell 60-54 in a non-league game. Lowell entertained league-leading Lakewood on Friday. The Red Arrows loss by six points during their first meeting and were ready for a big game. Lakewood got off to an early 24-16 first quarter lead, hitting 12 of 14 shots from the floor. The Red Arrows trailed 39-26 at half time. Lowell shifted defenses and began a comeback.
The fast breaking and man-to-man defense kept the Red Ar-rows even for the third quarter, but exploded in the fourth, out-scoring Lakewood 17-8. The comeback fell short and Lakewood won 62-59. Lowell was called for 16 fouls to only eight on Lakewood. Lowell made 26 field goals and seven of 12 free throws.
Lakewood made 29 field goals and 4-16 from the line. Willie
Kentwood Gunners Drop Rangers In Triple Overtime
With less than a minute lemaining in the third quarter, one of Ted Zuiderveen's fourteen free throws thrust Forest Hills in-to a seventeen point lead over undefeated league leading Kent-wood. The Falcons retaliated in the fourth quarter, sinldng thir-teen of eighteen field goals with Joe Beel's sidecourt jumper on target at the buzzer, tieing the score a 69-69 and forcing the first overtime.
Dan VanPemis, the O-K Red's leading scorer, pumped in eleven of Kentwood's sixteen points in the nine minutes of the three overtime periods leading his team to their title, clinch-ing 85-84 victory.
The Rangers led for all but the last second of regulation time. Their match-up zone defense kept Kentwood from unlidding the basket for the first four minutes of the contest. Behind Rick Wagenaar's nine points Forest Hills held a 16-10 edge at the quarter.
By halftone Wagenaar had fourteen rebounds, and with the help of Dkve Slater and Kraig Klynstra completely dominated the boards. Ted Zuiderveen drove through the heart of the Kent-wood defense for a layup that gave the Rangers a 36-24 lead at halftime intermission.
Four totals built steadily as Forest Hills maintained their ad-vantage throughout the third period. Their widest margin of the evening was 52-35. Wagenaar's tip-in with 6:41 remaining drew an offensive foul that took away the basket while also sending the Ranger forward to the bench with his fifth personal foul.
The Ranger defense effectively limited the Falcons to low percentage outside shots, even with Wagenaar out, but it didn't seem to matter to Beel and VanPemis both firing in bombs that cut deeply into the dwindling Forest Hills lead.
Bill Heneveld cooly dropped in two free throws with twenty seconds left giving the Rangers a 68-65 margin. VanPemis countered, 68-67. No sooner did Klynstra have the inbounds pass than he was fouled. He hooped the first toss, but his sec-ond bounced sharply to the left. An alert Kentwood rebounder grabbed the ball with five seconds left, lobbed it downcourt to Joe Beel, and Beel let fly with the field goal that caused over-time.
The first overtime ended in a 73 73 knot, the second at 77 all Fach squad had lost four players by the foul route before VanPemis hit the game's final two points, making the score Kentwood 85, Forest Hills 84. The game ended a fraction of a second before Zuiderveen released a swishing goal just past mid-court.
For the first time this year five Rangen finished in double figures, and Zuiderveen's 26 points were the top individual Ranger output of the season. It was a small consolation.
Slater was the game's leading rebounder with 20. Wagenaar finished with 17, Klynstra 12.
Caoch Larry Wilson felt the turning point came when Wag-enaar fouled out. He said, ' i t was the worst call IVe ever seen."
Kentwood's fans rushed onto the floor to hoist VanPemis on their shoulders so he could cut down the net symbolic of the win that gives the Falcons the O-K Red championship.

Chance failure has noplace in any vacation agenda, especially since 1971 publication of a simple, fact-filled outdoor guidebook to Michigan s Upper Peninsula by Avery Colin Studios of Au-Train, Michigan.
The 64-page Outdoor Recreation and Camping Guide was initiated by outdoor photographer-naturalikt Hoyt Avery, for-merly of Lowell and Saranac, in an attempt to furnish the pub-lic with complete and factual listings of all camping facilities in the Upper Peninsula.
People grabbed up three editions of the new book last sum-mer and Avery is already laying out an updated *72 version for spring release.
The first publication to ever list, describe and may every campground (from National Park to private recreation area), in each of the U.P.'s 15 counties, the guide quickly accomplished its original objectives.
Continuing with page after page of concise, concentrated out-door recreation information about everything from UJ*. Histor-ic and Scenic Attractions to Waterfall Directories and Rock-hound Gem Trails, the book becomes a valuable addition to ev-ery outdoorsman's and camper's home library.
••We're trying to provide people with facts they need to en-joy their time away from home," said Avery.
"People should know what to do in an emergency; how to -contact State Police, where hospitals are located and a hundred other little things people seldom think about while planning a vacation.
" W e ' v e tried to provide this kind of information along with tourist, camping and recreation facts as simply and usefully as . possible," he continues.
"People often don't realize that hundreds of beautiful, well equipped camping areas exist throughout the U. P. and this is a shame when they find all the sites full at their original destina-tion and don't know where to head next. We want to make it easiei for people to learn about and ute ill the not-so-crowded t areas where Lhere's always something different and exciting to do. We think 24 detailed maps and pages full of up-to-date in- , formation are steps in the right direction," concluded Avery.
Bank Achieves Two Milestones
Old Kent Bank and Trust Company released their prelimin-ary unaudited financial statements for the year ended Decem-ber 31,1971. An independent certified public accounting firm. is in the process of conducting the year-end audit of the Bank in connection with Old Kent's application to become a bank holding company. Asa result, the audited annual report for 1971 will bt delayed until early in March.
The unaudited repprt showed that income before securities. transactions amounted to S7t236,307, or $4.65 per share in 1971, compared with S6,476,l 15, or $4.16 per share in 1970, > an increase of 11.7 percent.
In releasing the figures, Richard M. Gillett, President uf Old Kent, noted that "the Bank achieved two milestones during 1971. The total resources of the Bank exceeded $700 million and total deposits of the Bank passed the $600 million mark/ Total resources of $717,!01,817 •were reported as crf V ber 31,1971 compared with $656^07^)92 atye^i, end an increase of 9.2 percent.

investments and loans, investments for the year 1971 were $261,107383 compared with $235,874,391 in 1970, a 10.7 percent increase. Total loans for the same period readied a rec-ord high of $355,635,732 compared with 1970's total of $334,-954,943, a 6.2 percent increase.

She was issued an appearance ticket for shoplifting and was ordered into the 63rd District Court on March 1.
Buses Robbed A complaint has been filed with the Lowell Police Depart-
ment by the Lowell Area School involving stolen items taken from school buses.
Sometime over the weekend of February 12 a fiul aid kit, flares and three reflector kits were lifted from the parked buses. A window in one of the buses was also broken.

Among the several announcements made during this session was the new time and meeting place for future committee meetings.
The first Wednesday of cach month at 7:30 p.m. the mem-bers will meet at Bushnell School. Registration Roundups will be held at every Scout meeting with the hope that every boy will bring a friend and introduce him to a period in his life that can be full of fun and adventure.
The registration this year will be a cost of $3 per boy, that will include his subscription to Boys' Life Magazine, with the registration deadline being March 13.
A trophy will go to the top Recruiter of the Troop.

If you've noticed a gathering crescendo that sounds like a fire siren throughout the land, it's the combined scream of mil-lions of housewives over the swift rise of food prices.
Food prices, especially those for meat, have continued to , climb despite the economic controls. Under Phase Two regula-tions, unprocessed food sold in the supermarkets, such as meat, tresh truits and vcgcUules, arc not controlled. Increased costs can be passed on to the consumer.
Economic figures show that the inflationary price spiral has begun to slow down-but it would take a brave man to tell that to a housewife!

At least President Nixon's trip to China has given us some-thing else to talk about besides the weather - tor some people-that is! Remarks concerning the journey range from a blase' "So What" to "It 's the most exciting thing since the trip to the moon."
Twas noticed by a China watcher that Pat Nixon was not X carrying a hand bag as she embarked. Wonder if Richard was toting all those little items in his suit coat pocket?
Seems as though summer would have been a better time to go. At least the weather would be warm in case the reception was chilly -
