Vice Unit officers of the Kent County She r i f f s De-partment netted their largest seizure of marijuana ever, in a raid on the Victor Tidd residence at 3285 Alden Nash. S.E. last Friday morn-ing. The officers seized about 60 pounds of the illegal drug estimated to have a street value of S38.000. The mari-juana is thought to be a fresh shipment from Florida.

The raid resulted in the arrests of three people from the Lowell area, all thought to be "high level" dealers here. Victor Tidd. 35. and his wife Judith Tidd. 33; were each charged with delivery of marijuana and possession with intent to deliver mari-juana. Donald R. McQueen. 24, of 130 Montcalm Ave.. N.E. was arrested on a charge of delivery of LSD and

delivery of marijuana. All three were arraigned before Judge Joseph White of the 63rd District Court. Victor Tidd and McQueen's bonds were set at 50,000 and Judy Tidd's at 525,000. All three were lodged in the Kent County jail in lieu of bond, but have since been released as bond was posted. All three demanded examination and are to appear before Judge

White on Tuesday. August 24.

The raid was the result of a three month investigation by the depar tment ' s vice unit, during which undercover deputies made purchases of marijuana and LSD. More arrests may be pending in the case. Search warrants enabled deputies to seize records showing that they were doing a fair business.

festivities. To replace the Santas, the

Lowell City Council unani-mously agreed to enter into a two year deal with Mid Michigan Display Service of Mount Pleasant to install Christmas decorations in the

The decorations are of a type that can be electrically illumina-ted. The contract calls for decorating 30 poles each year for a total annual cost of $1,560.00.

Councilman Fonger asked why Christmas decorations in the business district aren ' t a responsibility of the Cham-ber of Commerce.

HOMESPUN DEVOTIOIVS

by Pauline E. Spray

. . .faith, if it hath not works, is dead ... (James 2:17).

A minister friend told the following story. He stepped out of his car one day, jingling the coins in his pocket. A man walked up to him and said, "How about some money for coffee and doughnuts?"

The minister looked at the healthy, strapping fellow. Immediately he thought of the new church building his congregation was in the pro-cess of constructing. "I ' l l tell you wha t , " he said, "we ' r e pouring cement down at the church this morning. If you come and work today, you'll earn enough for your meals all week long."

The man turned away an-grily. " I t ' s getting to be an awful world." he muttered. " a fellow has to work for everything he gets to ea t . "

When we were young-sters. we were often remind-

ed that "work never hurt anyone." Still, we were prone to think otherwise, to try to get out of as much of it as possible, and to shun responsibility.

Without faith it is impos-sible to please God. Chris-tians. if we expect great things from Him, we must learn to accept the responsi-bilities and perform the deeds which will help to promote His Kingdom.

Prayer: Dear Jesus, Thou has given Thy life for all mankind. Help me to spread that Good News. May 1 do my share to rescue the lost and dying. Amen.

Help me the slow of heart to move.

By some clear, winning word of love:

Teach me the wayward feet to stay

And guide them in the homeward wav. AUTHOR UNKNOWN

By Roger Brown

Grand Valley Ledger - Wedaoaday, Angnst 18,1962 • Page S

I've been lucking out all over the place lately. You've heard the old expression, " h e ' d lose his head if it wasn't a t tached". Well that adage has certainly applied to me for the past few weeks, and if 1 don't change my ways my head may turn up in somebody's lost and found too.

It all started a couple of weeks ago when we were packing to come home from our vacation in Kentucky. My brother's family and my tribe rented a houseboat for a week on Lake Barclay and Lake Kentucky. After boarding the boat. 1 had to park my car at the far end of the marina parking lot. When we were turning the boat in. a couple of the kids and I each took a small load and went to get the car. Once there. I unlocked the doors, threw in everybody's donation and moved the car over closer to the boat.

In the motel on the way home we were minus a small suitcase that contained all our toothbrushes, cosmetics, first aid. etc. We finally got it figured out that Angie had set the suitcase down on the passenger side of the car after I had already unlocked it. She walked back to the boat, and I drove away leaving the suitcase sitting on the far edge of the parking lot. Fortunately someone found it and turned it in at the marina, and they are sending it to me. After all. who wants a bunch of used toothbrushes?

This past weekend was the first time 1 have used my sailboat in three weeks. We drove all the way to Tawas City for an overnight trip to Charily Island thirteen miles out into Lake Huron. We arrived Friday night, camped on the beach, and rigged my boat Saturday morning. Everything went smoothly until I went to run up my sails and discovered that I didn't have a jib. For you non-sailors, a jib is a small sail mounted in front of the mainsail. My Hobie Cat 16 has one. is designed to sail with one. and operates about like an eight cylinder auto running on four cylinders and a fiat tire if it's not there.

Needless to say. I panicked. Fortunately the sponsor of the outing w as the local Hobie Cat dealer and he was kind enough to loan me the jib off a brand new boat, and the weekend was not lost.

So. how does someone lose a jib which is about seventy square feet of brightly colored dacron? Simple, you just leave it laying next to the boat launch at the Silver Lake State Park when you trailer your boat, and drive off without it. A phone call verified that the Park Rangers have it in their lost and found, but 1 feel so stupid about leaving it there that I might be to embarrassed to claim it.

Just in case of an emergency. 1 folded up a one hundred dollar bill and tucked it in with the membership cards, credit cards, business cards and assorted scraps of paper in my wallet for the trip to Tawas City this weekend. On the way home we stopped at a MacDonalds drive-thru, and when I took off my open wallet fell off the dashboard spilling the contents on the floor. Terese picked it all up and stuffed it back in my wallet. All except the one hundred dollar bill that is.

I didn't notice that it was missing until Monday afternoon, and by that lime the babysitter was gone with the van on an errand to Grand Rapids. I had visions of the bill getting kicked out on the ground w hen she got out of the car. but 1 lucked out again. She had found it and tucked it safely away in her back pocket.

Let's see now. that 's about a hundred dollars for the suitcase and all the paraphernalia inside, about two hundred and fifty dollars for a new jib and another hundred dollars cash money. That 's four hundred and fifty dollars all safely recovered, and that 's w hat I call. "Lucking O u t ! " Of course if I hadn't lost it all in the first place. I guess I'd be even luckier. But. then I wouldn't have had anything to put in this column either.

Stephen AAonsma Democratic nominee

In Tuesday's primary elec-tion. Stephen Monsma de-feated his opponent. Dale Sprik, to become the Demo-cratic nominee for 5th Dis-trict congressman. Approxi-mately 34,000 voters cast ballots in the 5th District Democratic primary. That total is twice the number who voted in the 1980 contest.

Monsma, a state senator, said late Tuesday night that he was "delighted with the support we received from throughout the 5th District."

"1 wish to thank the many men and women who volun-teered their time and energy on my campaign. They were the key to my victory. " he

said.

Dale Sprik, Monsma" s opponent in the primary campaign, has already given his full support to Monsma in the fall campaign.

Monsma will now face incumbent Harold Sawyer i n ^ the general election on No-vember 2nd. He believes the issues of the campaign will be high interest rates, unem-ployment, and preserving social security benefits.

MACHINE THAT NEVER STOPS You may not know it. but you have a

machine that will keep running as long as you

live And that can be a long time, if you take good care of it The machine? Your body.

The human body is a wonderful machine when it's in good wortong order But things

can happen to it that throw it out of balance. Poor posture Musde strains A spinal cot-

umn out of alignment putting unwanted pres-sure on nerve centers A general fatigue caused by poor nutrition

Sp«nal misalignments can be corrected; so

can the spmal stress that results from the mis-alignment The nerve centers can be soothed and pressures refceved The "out of balance' body can be restored to proper balance

Every machine has a structure designed for smooth operation Any defect m thai

strcture can cause problems In the human

body, structural delects can cause aches and pains in the back. neck, and other parts of the

body When these aches and pains persist ove< a penod of time that means you need treatment

Graduate students should plan debt Kick-off dinner for

Republican convention

If you ' re enrolled in or

^considering gradua te school, you ' re already aware of the

expense involved. Because

g radua te s tudents are older and tend to be financially

independent of their pa ren t s , they arc the heaviest s tudent

borrowers , says an Educa-tional Test ing Service sur-

vey. A recent study of ETS

shows the average total debt

for g r adua t e s tudents who

had applied for aid in their

last year amounted to $6,533 i r t s and science s tuden t s .

Business and law students owed more; and. for medical

s tudents , deb t s totalled

S24,612. While g radua te s tu-dents make up only ten

percent of the country ' s stu-dent population, they carry

25 percent of the loan vol-

ume. S tudents a t tending pri-

vate schools borrow more

than public school s tuden t s .

Because g r adua t e s tuden t s

are ineligible for government grants , borrowing f rom gov-

e rnment f inanced loans be-

comes almost a necessi ty .

National Direct S tudent Loans, dis tr ibuted by the

schools, are available to gra-

Before you sign for all those loans, make su re you'l l

have m e a n s to repay . The

amount of your paymen t

depends on the size of your

deb t , but usually beg ins six months a f t e r your g r a d u a t e ,

leave school, or fall below the min imum credi ts or s emes t e r

you are general ly allowed u p

to 10 years to repay .

Auxiliary Loans to Assist S tuden t s are also available

for g radua te s tuden t s . T h e s e

loans bea r an interest r a t e of 14 percent . However, inter-

es t repayment beg ins within

60 days a f te r you receive the loan which m e a n s you' l l be

making p a y m e n t s while in

school. Since repayment of loans

could s t retch out for ten years , i t ' s best to review your

financial situation be fore

borrowing. Some schools might requ i re you to convert

asse ts , such as real e s t a t e

holdings and bonds , to cash be fore allocating f inancial

a id . In addit ion, you should

realize that simply filing a

tax re turn and claiming inde-

pendent s ta tus doesn ' t qual-ify you as independen t . For

DNR Report

For economic and ecological reasons more and more wood

is being used as a firewood now than at any o ther t ime in

recent history. Before you start burning wood, you should unders tand its burning qualities, know how to properly

opera te the draft and damper sys tems of your f u r n a c e or stove and above all insure that your chimney is sound and safe and

is capable of handling the excessive t empera tu re s of wood

burning. The BTU output of wood is phenomenal and most modern, improved wood heal ing sys tems are now capable of

realizing a 60-70 percent efficiency rat ing as compared to approximately 5 percent gained with an open f ireplace and

only about 25 percent with our old fashioned wood stoves.

A family within this area should be able to heat an average 1.000 square foot home, with wood alone, and burn only 10-12

ricks of wood per year . You can now pu rchase good

hardwood, delivered, for about $100 per cord and since a cord

cuts into three 16 inch ricks your annual heat ing bill should be in the neighborhood of $400. If you can cut your own wood the

total expense should be no more than $100 annually. To

sustain a heating program for a single dwelling requ i res a good ten acre woodlot and due to the inconveniences of

woodburning it may not be feasible for you to go to a 100

percent wood burning operation, however supp lementa l use

of wood fuel should easily cut your total heat bill by 50 percent

and will definitely provide you with that moist radiant heat

which is so much more comfortable than other sources . What prompted m e to write this column was that several

local res idents have asked me about the burn ing quali t ies of

various local hardwoods. We very often see adver t ised, "mixed ha rdwoods" , this means very little as many very poor

quality woods are listed as hardwoods . You also see "a l l

O a k " in adver t i sements , again some of our oaks are poor

firewood while white and red oak rank as excel lent . 1 am sure some of you will not ag ree with m e but here are

my preferences , in order , of our f inest burn ing f i rewoods:

Locust. Ash. Hickory. Whi te oak. Beech. Apple. Hard maple . Red Oak, Cherry, Red elm. Walnut , and Pepr idge

(Hackberry) . are all quality hardwoods and all but Ash should

be seasoned . An old agage . which I have always r e m e m b e r e d is: Ash wood green , or Ash wood dry. makes the f i re that the

prince warms his feet by. Next l e t ' s list the gofer woods. Gofer wood is wood that

when thrown on the fire, you immediate ly gofer another

armload. These are ; Soft maple , Sassaf ras , mullberry, and

worst of all, Basswood. Most of these are a pretty good

firewood when not too well s easoned . Some of t hem,

particularly poplar and basswood, make an excellent kindling

when well seasoned and split f ine. Last of all I will list our poor quality woods, all of which will

provide some heat when fully seasoned . All m e m b e r s of the willow family and box elder are the commones t . An old t ime

resident of Lowell once told m e that he had a huge box elder

t ree growing in his yard which he had cut and stacked in his

b a s e m e n t . He explained that it cost him four tons of coal the

following winter jus t to burn up that five rick pile. W e have many o ther local woods, but t he se are the most

common. Generally speaking all f i rewood should be well seasoned

when burned . Green or moist wood will usually burn but the mois ture combines with cellulose and other subs tances and

causes creosote, which not only can be a real mess but may

also cause chimney and roof f i res .

Antique fire fighting equipment show in Hastings Sunday Fire enging buffs from

various parts of the state will c w g r c g i t e Sunday, August 22 at Charlton Park 's first "An t ique Fire Fighting Appara tus show and Mus-t e r . "

Visitors to the park will be able to view old-time fire engines and equipment dis-played by members of the Greenfield Village Interna-tional Antique Fire Appara-tus Association plus vintage engines along with their more modern counterparts belonging to area fire depart-ments . The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

At noon, when opening ceremonies will be held, the fire rigs will parade around

the park 's village green, encircled with authentic his-torical buildings that have been reconstructed as a Mi-chigan village of the late 1800s.

A constant stream of mus-ter activities. featuring games of fun and skill will be staged from 10 a .m. to 4 p.m. The action will include a bucket brigade contest, com-petition with centrifugal, ro-tary, and piston pumps in a race to see which can draw the first water, a water ball contest focusing on team skill using fire hoses, and an arena pumping event .

" T h e arena pumping can be quite comical to watch ." says Lee Soderbeck of Jack-

son, secretary of the Green-field Village sponsored group. In that contest of five-man teams, she ex-plains, each uni t ' s bunker coats and boots are thrown into a pile and each must scramble against the clock to find and put on his own attire, place a hard suction hose in the river, j u m p onto a fire truck, and pump water. The team with the best time is declared the winner.

Mrs. Soderbeck said the antique fire appara tus asso-ciation put on a show last month at Greenfield Village in Dearborn.

The majority of the group ' s members are indivi-dual collectors who are affil-iated with the National So-ciety for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Mo-torized Fire Apparatus .

Some of the interesting fire fighting equipment ex-pected to be on hand for the Charlton Park show are a restored Seagrave rig. an open cab Ahrens-Fox piston pumper of 1920's vintage, a 1914 Model T fire c h i e f s car. and an old REO fire engine. There will be an American-LaFrance fire vehicle, typical

of what was once a common rural fire fighting fixture, usually m a d e from Fprd or Chevy trucks which were converted into fire appara tus with the addition of pumps.

The Vermontville Fire De-partment is expected to dis-play its unique 1913 fire fighter manufactured by the Waterous Engine Works in St. Paul, Minnesota.
