The entire crowd was In a llvlal mood from the beginning but It really cut loose with a roar el'•approval when the boat made its sharp swing in front of the ^4nd*and. The first appearance of the boat as it churned slowly to the point showed it up as a well- lighted but rather oolorless affklr. but when It swung In front of the big crowd It could be seen readily that the chief decorator, Chris, still knew his stuff. , Showboat Beautiful The big paddle wheel was white with a silver baekground.

In addition to t h i f UMIre ire stars and shields covered with diamond dust It presented a long to be remembered. Pair of Yellow Eyei Startle John Tucker For several mornings John Tuck- er, Grand River Drive, thought he heard peculiar nofees from the direction of his heating stove, but the noise not continuing dismissed the matter until Tuesday morning when upon opening the stove door he faced a pair of big yellow eyes glaring at him. Being doubtful as to the identity of the poaKsaor, he called his next door neighbor, Cecil Cole, and with the aid of leather gauntlets, the two captured the Intruder—a full grown Hoot Owl. Needless to say John can dis- pense with a chimney sweep this year. CANDIDATES for GO COMING TO SHOWBOAT D. VanWi Murray ocratic has accepted aa vlsh the Showboat Friday for He wiH be VaaWagener.

Best Show Ever From the opening number for 2 hours there was a rapid succes- sion of amateur and profefslonal acts. It was agreed by all that the entire show from start to finish was the best ever produced in Lo- well. The endmen with their Jokes and songs were a great hit. chorus, under the direction of Orvd Jemup, in their part ringing of special arrangements to back up the endmen and numbers added a great deal to the show. Every professional act proved to be a h i t Eddie Peabody easily lived up to hto reputation as the world's greatest banjo player. Hto version of "St Louis Blues' and the "Tiger Rag" really brought down the house. Vivacious Adele Parish, the clever Parker brother* and comedian Larry Griswold all proved to be great entertainers.

Palmer, superintendent of County parks and jforestry for Kent County Road Commission, says tftat more than a million per- sons use and enjoy Kent's parks every year That's more man tour times the County's population, which means that every person in Kent County, mathematically if not, actually visits one or more parks four times a year. The county system of 14 parka comprisea a total of 1,166 acres with 800 acres in reserve for fu- ture expanaion. Visiting firemen," which means County, State and Federal park officials who have visited Kent's system to get and give Ideas, "have told us ws have one of the top park systems of the country," says Palmer—with some pride of course. Four Shelter Four of the parks have "shelter- houses," a modest term for large, rambling buildings with fireplaces, benches and tables, even cooking equipment. These are open to the public, culture, military, architecture, law, without charge, up to 7 p. m. dally motion pictures, finance, fraternal and on evenings also on Satur- bodies. days and Sundays.

LEDGER ENTRIES PICTLRESqiTE Viators into wayside spots inform us that there are many country towns restoring the old-fashioned watering troughs into a new life. Whether wooden, granite or metal, they decorate the landscepe and re- call days when over-heated horses plunged their heads to drink. Many a man of Lowell remembers a boyish prank of placing frogs or turtles in them. Minnows deemed to thrive there too. Aged and moss covered, that trough was a mid- summer pleasure from the heat of day. Work or driving horses lapped the clear, cold water and snorted with deep aatisfaction. In early years the trough was of heavy wooden planks which were later replaced by metal ones, ofteh decorated by scrolls and figures. There Is something kindly In the idea that man today leana to the simplicity of the old-time watering trough. DOING IT NOW Talking about furthering rela- tions with Latin-America neigh- bor*, delegates to the United Na- tions endeavor to work out some way of reaching a friendly under- standing and to cooperate with each other.

Some of the parks have bathing —not many, but some. Some offer fishing. All offer picnicking and playground equipment romping space for the Junior element and breathing epace for their admirers. Not all of the 14 are ready for the public yet. They're scattered to all corncrs, they're accessible from anywhere.

THE INVENTIVE BOND An educational corporation to be called the Thomaa Alva Edleon Foundation has been formed, the purpose of Which is to keep alive the genius and inspiration if Mr. Edison. The World suffered a great loss when this wonderful Inventive genius paased on, but the provi- sion of this foundation will enable many workers in the scientific field to continue their researches and develop new ideas for welfare. People with Inventive and tiflc minds are constantly ing new methods for the utiliza- tion of natural resources. An or- ganization like the new Edison Foundation will make It powrible for many people with these gifta to confer new benefits on the hu- man race. Great and marvelous discoveries have been made in the past 1C0 years, but those to be made within the next 100 years may be equally amazing.

It can be assumed that one of the reasons for the success of the old pioneers In building up this country, was that they had an am- ple food supply. The woods were full of game, and the rivers and lakes had plenty of fish- The ground was rich, and they reaped good harvests. Thus with ample food they became strong and healthy people, able to do great days' works. The world w o u l d move faster If all countries had enough food. HAY FEVER Those not afflicted accept the word of hay fever victims that it is one of the most Irritating of non-fatal diseases. The misery it brings haa iept laboratories busily engaged In offering relief. Wind seems to determine the amount of pollen distributed and many places keep sufferers informed of the pollen count daily. The stream- ing eyes, difficult breathing, give proof that hay fever is no Joke. Thousands of people can afford to seek a helpful climate or 'in- stall air conditioning in homes for relief, but the majority of victims sniffle during August and Septem- ber and pray for frost to bring a relief from aggravating pollens.

Pair of Yellow Eyei

Startle John Tucker For several mornings John Tuck-

er, Grand River Drive, thought he heard peculiar nofees from the direction of his heating stove, but the noise not continuing dismissed the matter until Tuesday morning when upon opening the stove door he faced a pair of big yellow eyes glaring a t him.

Being doubtful as to the identity of the poaKsaor, he called his next door neighbor, Cecil Cole, and with the aid of leather gauntlets, the two captured the Intruder—a full grown Hoot Owl.

Needless to say John can dis-pense with a chimney sweep this year.

Million Persons Visit Kent Parks

That's more m a n tour times the County's population, which means that every person in Kent County, mathematically if not, actually visits one or more parks four times a year.

The county system of 14 parka comprisea a total of 1,166 acres with 800 acres in reserve for fu-ture expanaion.

PICTLRESqiTE

Viators into wayside spots inform us that there are many country towns restoring the old-fashioned watering troughs into a new life. Whether wooden, granite or metal, they decorate the landscepe and re-call days when over-heated horses plunged their heads to drink. Many a man of Lowell remembers a boyish prank of placing frogs or turtles in them. Minnows deemed to thrive there too. Aged and moss covered, that trough was a mid-summer pleasure from the heat of day. Work or driving horses lapped the clear, cold water and snorted with deep aatisfaction.

In early years the trough was of heavy wooden planks which were later replaced by metal ones, ofteh decorated by scrolls and figures. There Is something kindly In the idea that man today leana to the simplicity of the old-time watering trough.

attributed to an insufficient food supply, and their consequent ina-bility to bring up a race of healthy children, who have the energy to build up their country.

I t can be assumed that one of the reasons for the success of the old pioneers In building up this country, was tha t they had an am-ple food supply. The woods were full of game, and the rivers and lakes had plenty of fish- T h e ground was rich, and they reaped good harvests. Thus with ample food they became s t rong and healthy people, able to do great days' works. The world w o u l d move faster If all countries had enough food.

HAY F E V E R

Those not afflicted accept the word of hay fever victims that it is one of the most Irritating of non-fatal diseases. The misery it brings haa i e p t laboratories busily engaged In offer ing relief.

The stream-ing eyes, difficult breathing, give proof t h a t hay fever is no Joke.

Thousands of people can afford to seek a helpful climate or ' in-stall a i r conditioning in homes for relief, but the majority of victims sniffle during August and Septem-ber and pray for frost to bring a relief from aggravating pollens.

Hoover stressed that the "vast army" of criminals "is 10 times greater in number than the number of students In our colleges and unl-versitlee. Ankl for every school teacher in America there are more than ceven criminals."

In an interview. Hoover out-lined what he considers the im-mediate causes for "the present wave of lawlecaness." and he sug-gested some remedial measures.

He attributed the crime wave to: "A recession of moral fortitude,

laxity in parental control, lowered moral standards, social and eco-nomic conditions, and abuses and maladministration of the penal system." He emphasized "laxity In parental control." eaylng:

"A lack of Interest in the funda-mentals of matrimony, in the prop-er rearing of children, is a cause

"We must eradicate the cause of crime at its roots. Small crimes generally precede great crimes and too often these email crimes are perpetrated by youngrters still pre-sumably under home influence. Every home in America must be-come a sanctuary for good citi-zenship and not, as in many in-stances today, a breeding place for criminals."

Hoover asserted he "is convinced that if all parents fulfill their ob-ligations to their children we would soon experience a sharp decline in crime" and added:

"Rather than indulge In crltl-chro of our youth today, our first job should be to set for them an example to follow in model homes where the tenets of good cltlren-ship, the precepts of right and the fundamentals of democracy are not only tau jh t but dally prac-ticed."

accident these high figures In agri-culture might be lessened.

Our office has received a trans-cript of the Kent County broad-cast "This la Our County" made over W L 8 early In June. It cat\ be given on a victrola or similar machine. Oroupa who care to use the record may get the same at the Extension Service Office.

Watch out for the gang who might be coming to your place and want to clean your septic tank. Gale Pox at the Grand Rap-Ids Chamber of Commerce tells me It Is quite a racket these da>*. Generally, the racketeer it from out of the state and has few if any references. There are plenty of good reliable folks doing this work who live In or around Grand Rapids. Before you let anyone clean your tank, check his resi-dence and references. Anyway a properly built septic tank needs very little cleaning out and if you do need a cleaning )ob have a definite understanding of Us cost.

When the school commissioner moved from his former quarters he left behind a book that many older folks will remember "Manual of Orthography" by H. R. Patten-gill. Turning the cover we saw

list of Pattengill publications such as "Moderator Topics", "Civil Government of Michigan", "Knap-sack" and a number of others. These all bring back memories of days in public school as a student and rural teacher. We never liked the study of orthography and it waa one of the hard subjects to teach in school.

Fay Benjamin of Nelson Town-ship came Into the office and did some reminiscing on the book for not only did he study it in the Eaf t Nelson school but taught It there

well. Contrary to the county agent he liked it.

Michigan educators have never had as colorful a person as H. R. Pattengill.

As the second half of 1946 gets under way, there arc still 100,000 families waiting for telephones. Of these, 49,000 have placed their orders since the first of the year.

We still have to expand our fadlitict in 200 exchanges to give service to everyone who has ordered a telephone.

We now hope that most of the orders for service received before January 1,1946, can be filled by the end of the year. In some areas, of course, we expect to com-plete many orders recdved this year, but it may be late 1947 before we can return to a "ready-to-serve" basis everywhere.

Meanwhile, we are loading our present equipment far beyond its normal capac-ity, to shorten the wait for as many folks as uosuhle. This may affect the quality of

vthe time bcipg. But normal ' will mujm^-wtfmstall the needed

Waiting applicants can be certain that we are just as anxious as they are to see their orders filled at the earliest possible date.

THIS WEEK'S SERMON • By PAUL Z. HOORNSTRA

Text: Isa. 45:22—"Look unto me and be ye saved—for I am God and there is none else."

Introduction; Laat week we learned that we are saved FROM (1) the Presence and (2) the Power of sin in our lives. Today we con-sider the next question; What are we saved FOll?

L We are saved to love God and people with all our hearts. Salva-tion ia not Juat a peas-port to Heav-en. Redemption Is more than an

"open sesame" at the gates of Eternity. Man Is saved or convert-ed ao he can love God and his fel-iow-man. If there be no good-will and sincere fellowship In a man, then that man's religloiv comes abort of Christian demands.

n . We are saved to live for God and for our fellow man. Conversion Is mam's equipment for service. A

religion that falla to prompt activ-ity Is less tl^an no religion at all. We are saved to do things for God and man. Through the Church of our oholoe and In everyday Uving there arise countleaa opportunities for service. Have you been of ser-vice today?.

Next Week: TO?
