Vol. 74—No. 13 THURSDAY. JULY 6. 1967

Azzarello goes draggin'... The seemingly simple sport of

drag racing (which some par-ticipants have refined to an art) is to accelerate from a standing start over a distance of a quar-ter-mile, in the least amount of time possible. To do it success-fully. one must do it safely and be able to eliminate the car in the other lane that you are paired off with.

Organized drag racing is not "kid-stuff," nor has it ever been. Professional drivers of drag racing cars tour strips the year 'round in this country, earning a very good income in the process. Auto manufactur-ers contribute heavily to the sport with their participation in the stock car classes.

To the many speed equip-ment makers supplying speed xccessories to the thousands of drag enthusiasts, drag racing is a big business.

Drags have not always en-joyed their present large-scale activity. Drag racing first be-came popular in the late 'M's when It was carried out mostly on city streets.

Organized In 1148

Street racing was, and is, il-legal and hazardous, to say the least, but there was no avail-able place for off-street racing. The first organized drag meet was held In California in 1948.

The success of that first meet prompted many car clubs to organize their own drag strips, and by 1950 there were quite a tew strips in operation throueh-out the countiy. Each strip fltocgh, has its own set of rules and safety standards.

Drag racing is every man's sport, but not a tuvenile one. The recognition of It by auto-mobile dealers, such as Joe Azzarello of Azzarello Chevrolet and Bulck of Lowell, Is a way to reach the buying public and as a proving ground for high-performance equipment.

Chevrolet's Camaro

Chevrolet introduced its Cam-aro in the Fall of 1966, offering a 396 cubic inch engine as the top power package. A few deal-ers around the country, includ-ing Azzarello, decided that the engine would be "good" in competition drag racing.

One of the first local Camaros to hit the drag strip was that of Jim O'Connor, a young Grand Rapids mechanic, who's been drag racing all shapes and siicej uf care and engines for the past 12 years.

O'Connor's royal plum 1967 Camaro boasts a full fledged 396 modified race mill, com-plete with Doug headers, Schei-fer flywheel and clutch assem-bly. and Hurst 4-speed floor shift.

Weighing 3.162 pounds, the dragster is wheeled to the start-ing line on Goodyear and M&H Racemaster tires, mounted on a 108" wheelbase. A 4.88 posi-tractlon is used, coupled with single leaf springs, lift bars,

and four shocks. Other specialities which make

this car unique are a Grant Flame Thrower ignition system, and a Holly four-barrel car-buretor.

Goes on the "rood"

The 34-year-old Azzarello ser-vice manager, won more than 90 percent of his races In 1966, and will be making his bid for some national titles when he goes on the road this summer

His travels in the past have already taken him to Daytona Beach, Bristol, Tennessee, Ala-bama, Phoenix City, Canada and Muncie. Indiana.

O'Connor became Interested in the sport during the early 1950's while he was In the Ma-rine Corps, stationed In Cali-fornia. His Azzarello sponsored (ar has seen action, or will see action, this season at MarUn's US-131 Drag Strip; International Acres Raceway: Milan, Colum-bus, Ohio, Saginaw. Detroit, In-dianapolis, Indiana, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Running in the C-Super Stock Class (for factory performance cars, allowing minor modifica-tions) he has been clocked with an e. t. of 11.90: 117 miles per hour.

Newell Snyder

Hailing from Grand Rapids,

22-year-old Newell Snyder drives a 1965 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport, powered by a completely blueprinted and balanced 396 mill, boasting 325 hp.

The car weighs 3.865 pounds, has a wheelbase of 119" and is run in the H-SA classification, (E-Stock Automatic).

He has been blazing local strips with an e. t. of 13.65; 100 miles per hour.

Snyder's car is maintained with the help of O'Connor and Sandy Sandholm, with whom he shares some of the piloting. •

Jardine headers, a Holly four-barrel carburator, 4.56 stock posltractlon rear end. and Tur-bo hydramatic, modified, floor shift are featured In the com-petition SS.

S year veteran

A three-year veteran in drag racing. Snyder travels the cir-cuit with O'Connor, and Is also seeking future records and titles In his classification.

Snyder who handles the parts department at Azzarellos. won the Divisional 3 region a is in Columbus, Ohio In May gaining a trophy and points toward the championship title in the E-SA division.

Arthur Lind dies in Ionia

Arthur S. Lind, aged 68. 206' East Lincoln, Ionia, passed a-way at his home Mondayaft-emoon, June 26.

Lowell police are fortunate to have several public spirited cit-izens In the community, who have volunteered to assist the regular officers in emergencies.

About all the equipment furn-ished are helmets for the five

jlars and for five reserve officers, some uniforms are a-vallable. About all the special

arms for the cruisers are a rif-le and shotgun for use on road blocks.

Reserve officers must provide their own side arms and in most cases their uniforms.

All have been given special training and first aid instruc-tion for emergency duty. Hie reserve officers unless asked to

work a regular shift, because of sickness or accident, are not paid for their time.

Police Chief Avery Block, and his four regular officers, Jim Hutson. Mike Herrlngton, Larrv Pelon and Leo Rowland, provide 24-hour protection for the community.

The reserve officers—Ray Jon-es, Bernie Jankowskl. Bernard Jankowskl. James Pace, Cecil May, Gordon Gould, Pop Kline, and Charles Davis, all give as-sistance when requested.

Several times in the past few months all the officers have re-ported for duty on tornado al-erts and conditions where more then the regular complement of officers are needed to protect the citizens of the community.

Lowell is indeed fortunate to have this group of men willing to give their time for such a worthy cause.

X-ray mobile

unit here on

July 11, 12 The Kent County Tuberculo-

sis Society's roving mobile x-ray unit will be In Lowell Tues-day, July 11. and Wednesday, luly 12, at Christiansen's Drug Store.

Mrs. H. R. Mueller will assist nurses both days from 11

a. 'm. to 7 p. m. on Tuesday and from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. on Wednesday.

We ask that you please sign up for your x-ray with Mrs. Mueller In the drug store.

There are many Kent County residents with serious conditions of the chest area who are alive and well, or being treated for diseases none of them know they had 12 months ago—because they took time to have a chest x-ray.

Tuberculosis, or TB, is still a serious problem because any-one may have the germ In their l)ody without knowing It. Fort-unately. the test and x-rays for TB are very simple.

One person In three is host to the germ, and there are 3.000 to 5.000 reported cases yearly In Michigan. Fatigue, tir-edness, loss of weight, blood-specks In the sputum are all warning signs. There Is no pain In the early stages of the dis-ease, and only a skin test or chest x-ray can detect the pres-ence of the germ.

So why not take advant-age of the location of the mo-bile unit on July II and 12, and find out just how healthy you are!

Start of new McQueen garage is held up

First steps were taken on Wednesday of last week to start construction of a new McQueen Motor Company garage and sal-es room, near the intersection of West Main Street and Valley Vista Drive.

The work could not be con-tinued, when it was discovered that the land where the build-ing was to be built was not zoned for commercial construc-tion.

Douglas Dok of Dok Realty and Builders, had agreed to build the structure for McQueen.

The Council and Zoning Board had discussed changing the zon-ing on this area, but no ac-tion had ever been taken. City Manager Bernard Olson told Mr. Dok when lie put In his re-quest for a building permit.

It usually takes several mon-ths to get zoning changed so construction of the new garage will be delayed.

New salary agreement is reached

It was revealed at the spec-ial meeting of the Lowell Area Schools Board of Education on Wednesday, June 28. that the Lowell Teachers' Association were expected to approve the salary schedule for 1967-68 at a meeting Friday, June 30.

An agreement was finally rea-ched which sets salaries on the amount of school aid received from the state. With income for the school so much in ques-tion. the board and adminis-tration came to an agreement on a $500 to $600 increase from the $5,300 base starting pay of last year.

If state aid is not forthcom-ing at an additional $6 per child, salaries may be cut back IH percent.

The problems in negotiating a contract with teachers has been complicated by the failure of the state legislature to vote a school aid bill. The legisla-ture is waiting for approval of an Income tax to raise the money needed to increase school aid.

It appears that an agreement has been reached, and if pass-ed will relieve this problem.

Administrative Salaries

Most of the time Wednesday evening was spent by the Board in a private off the record ses-sion. The Board met and went through their agenda and then retired to the teachers' lounge for 1H hours to discuss propos-ed administrative salaries.

In a salary schedule presen-ted by Superintendent James Pace, administrative ina eases from $1,000 to $4,000 per man were proposed. There were four full time administrators and one pari time in the 1966-67 school year, at a total salaries of $53,250.

Proposed for the coming year were nine full time administra-tors at salaries of $106,800.

The Board after their private session adjusted the salary in-creases to reflect the economy program of the school, down to a total of $96,100.

This is $10,700 less then the increases proposed by the sup-erintendent.

New A ^ u Um

One of the nine new adminis-trators is Dale F. Hollern, form-er Michigan State University football star, and now a mem-ber of the staff of Catholic Cen-tral high school in Grand Rap-ids.

Mr. Holleni will be assistant high school principal and ath-letic director at a salary of $10,200. He has his Masters1 De-gree and ten years experience in Jackson and Grand Rapids.

In other action, the Board accepted the resignation of Dan-on Judevine, who had been con-tracted to act as teaching prin-cipal of the Intermediate School.

A new teaching principal will be named later. This position receives an additional $600 over the salary schedule.

The Board accepted the bid of Bill Richard of $75 for a 1957 Ford school bus. There are two other busses which no one bid on and their sale will be negotiated.

Cathedral chimes given in memory of Geo. Dey

A set of 21-note Mass Cathe-dral chimes has been present-ed to the Ada Congregational church by Mrs. George Dey, and friends of the family in memory of her husband, the late George Dey, sr., of Low-ell.

Area drivers use caution

Now that school Is recessed many area children who have horses are riding shgly and in groups along the roads. Please use caution as you approach these riders. They are usually very aware of oncoming traf-fic and watch closely that which approaches from the rear.

These children are usually pretty good riders and have their steeds under control or their parents would not allow them on the road. If you will approach 'hem with reduced speed and do not blare on your horn It will be of great value to the rider.

The horses are sometimes startled by a loud blast of a car horn and will sometimes become very nervous. The horse could easily get out of control; where if you approach at a slow rate of speed without use of the horn, the rider will be aware of your presence and will keep its horse under bet-ter control.

Parents of bike riding chil-dren: It is time to caution your children on the safety of bike riding: Many children are well aware of the rules, but now that school is out they have be-come rather careless. Many of the bike riders are seen riding double, going down the road on the wrong side, criss-crossing in and out of traffic and com-pletely reckless in their ways of driving.

No one would want to hit a child on a bike, and many times it turns out to be chil-dren you know that are disobey-ing the common courtesy of bike riding. Many people who observe these known children hesitate to inform their parents as they don't want to get the child in trouble.

In spite of some misconcep-tions, we don't charge for any nws—and we'll run, as scon as possible every piece of news we can track down.

These deadlines will merely help us be of more service to you, do it more efficiently, and get home at a reasonable hour on press day.

Places 'hex' on barn

Some, superstitions are good, bad or Indifferent, but hex signs on a bam or house are gener-ally meant to wish the owner well. In Pennsylvania some of the bams have as many as 24 hex signs painted on them, ori-ginally to frighten away witch-es.

About five years ago. Mrs. William Seidman. Buttrick Ave., climbed a tall ladder and plac-ed a large hex on her red bam. She has researched in the lib-rary to find just the right centi-ment in an authentic Pennsyl-vania collection.

Mrs. Seidman copied the one which she preferred and it re-turns the wishes, "Good Luck" to her or to passers-by when-ever they look in that direc-tion.

Mrs. Seidman is also check-ing the history of the farm in order to add the date of its origination under the hex. She thinks it is about 70 years old.

Mrs. Thomas Rockett's new home on Grand River Drive is also sporting a hex sign. This one was brought to her from Pennsylvania last summer by her parents.

Mrs. Rockett feels that it suits her house especially well as the house itself was design-ed with the general outlines of a lofty and generous bam.

"It would Vhave been fun to have taken an old bam and re-modeled it," said Mrs. Rock-et, "but as it is, we have crea-ted something special out of land that otners passed by."

Mrs. Rockett's hex sign has an intricate design, but its mean-Ing is clear. "Good Harvest and Prosperity in All Ways."

Have these hex signs worked? The surrounding communities are growing with new residents and new industries. Perhaps we should all take this one supersti-tion to heart and place a great many more signs around us.

At least, they are a lot of fun and make good conversation pieces.

BITS O' BUSINESS

Buyer demand for used homes keeps getting stronger. The rea-sons: mortgage money is easier to get and new home construc-tion is lagging behind demand . . . A 20-mlnute movie called "The Big Con" has been pro-duced by the California state attomey general's office for club and school viewings. It is aimed at making consumers cautious by depicting a family's meeting with a crooked sales-man . . . More big cities are setting up special programs to clear streets of cast-off appli-ances. For instance, in Pitts-burgh April-through-June has been set aside by the city to haul off anything for a house holder.

Marine patrol gets In gear

Kent County Sheriff Ron Par-sons states that the Sheriff's Marine Patrol goes into high gear this, week. Six full time deputies and three radio dis-patched patrol boats start du-ties on the counties one hun-dred plus lakes.

The Marine program Is be-ginning the second year in this area as a result of state and county matching funds. The deputies assigned this duty have received training through the U. S. Power Squadron and the Sheriffs Department.

The Sheriff says the Marine Program is a two fold npera-tkm with special attention on enforcement and educatioa. All boaters and interested parties are welcome to ask questions of marine officers on regula-tuui-l ,and safe boating ^ r a c -Upea., . , . . p

Marine deputies, when asked t h e main causes of boating mis-

stated that they were gljr like those among mo-

ting too fast for and failure to follow

ief the road. Remem-baslc rule: When two

are approaching each o&er head-on. or nearly so, the operator of each shall cause his vessel to pass on the port side of the other.

High schoolers not too young for big ideas

High School students are cap-able of intelligently examining controversial social issues such as interracial marriage and Am-erican foreign policy In Vlet-Nam.

This Is one conclusion reach-ed by a University of Michigan Professor and a graduate fel-low after a three-year study con-ducted in the public schools of Chicago.

The findings of Prof. Byron G. Massialas, director of the U-M Research Training Prog-ram in Social Science Educa-tion, and Jack Zevtn, a grad-uate fellow In the program, have just been published by John Wiley and Sons. Inc.

In "Creative Encounters in the Classroom: Teaching and Learning Through Discovery." they state that much thought has been devoted to the discov-ery of new conditions for stim-ulating creativity and marimi-ag learning in the classroom,

1 many exciting ideas have emerged.

They indicate that the curricu-lum and teaching methods at U. S. secondary school are cur-rently undergoing extensive re-vision.

TVir report, based primarily on transcribed classroom dia-logue, concludes that students under these revised programs are indeed able to order their own learning and are capatie of disciplined inquiry to explore concents in various areas of knowledge and in the world a-round them.

In their report the two explore the ways In which secondary school students can be stimula-ted to order their own learning & to conduct inquires into cru-cial problems of society and the world of nature.

Traffic counting a people problem

Vehicle counting by the De-partment of State Highways Traffic Division has its pecull-, arities—most of them involving people, the State Highway Com-mission reports.

Last year more than 8,000 special short-term traffic counts at individual locations through-out the stale w e r r compiled by a 23-man Highway Department Traffic Division Field Studies Crew.

Traffic count periods are as short as eight hours or may ex-lend over seven days.

Field studies crew equipment Includes automatic counters, ra-dar detector cars and portable calculators. Pencils and writing pads are also included—just in case.

Milton J. Sieffes, Chief of the Field Studies Crew, said human nature complicates the task.

He cites the problem of dam-age to counters Installed cm and alongside highways, for Instance

Standard equipment for field crews are 200 such automatic counters powered by batteries and costing more than |800 each. Chained and locked to a

roadside post or sign, they are connected to a tube that ex-tends from the counter onto the highway and records by impuls-es the passing of vehicles.

Last year, more than 500 tubes were dislodged, another 75 were cut or destroyed, and not all these Instances were ac-cidents. Steffes said.

Some motorists suspect the tube Is part of a speed detector and dislodge it by braking their wheels, Steffes said. Once a farmer cut one up with a disc harrow.

Last year. 30 of the counters were tipped over and three were stolen.

A quirk of human nature has forced field crews to resort to camouflage to obtain accurate ndata. Although the traf-

vision has no enforcement function, motorists tend lo slow down when passing the radar speed-detector cars, thus reduc-ing usefulness of the check.

"Whenever we do a manual count, some member of the lo-cal gentry always asks our crew what's going to happen to the road," Steffes said. "When we tell him we are just count-ing cars, he leaves us the Im-pression he is not convinced that is our only purpose in be-ing there."
