This one point though, was one more than the Electrics had after meet- ing the onrushlng Cafes. The Super- iors had one week of the cellar, and apparently disliked their position, so a 8 point win over the Moose gave them a tie for the position (and a bit of company). Koerta was the big noise for the Bears, a 219 and 208 single counts for a three game 519. Jon*' 206 middle game helped the Dusters win their one point Armstrong wasted a 197 In the same match. Clyde Stahl, 192 single—606 total and Abraham's 212 single—<566 total was all that was needed to slam an average Electric team down. Superior Fur- niture, Ikoose match had no high counts, but persistency paid off for ths furniture lads.Three weeks and throe teams are able to win! But how able? Do you remember the floods of June 1904 and 1908? One could nearly hear the same echoes again last Sunday morning when men were rushing to their places of bus- iness wondering Just how much damage had been done as the old Flat and Grand rivers, usually wlndfhg their separate ways but now found them mingling thel^ waters along Maln-st. This year flood waters forced over 20 Lowell families to move from their dwellings and caused untold damage to residential and business property. The waters which had been raising slowly last week made a surge on Saturday night and isolated ths east and west sides of the village. The rising waters were noted by the nlghtwatch, EuRene Carr, late Saturday evening and he summon- ed Hert) Swan and other village em- ployees to give warning to residents on Avery street and to the few re- maining persons In the southeast section which was already under water. . Breaks 48 Tear Rccord For the first time since June 1904 and 1906 did the wafers of the Flat and Orand raise to such heights. Readings at Orand rlvsr reached 19 feet, the high last year w a s 18.8 feet. Frank Stephens, local deputy, or- ganized emergency squads from members of the American Legion and the V. F. W. who were equip- ped with boats and trucks to assist In the removal of furniture from flood threatened homes. These workers remained sn duty until the waters began to recede on Sunday night. Many cltlsem, Blue Star Mothers. Women's Relief Corps, Legion Aux- iliary and Eastern Stars all helped In making sandwiches and coffee and In other ways. Joan Phelps. Shirley DeGraw and Martha Lou Stephens served as tslephone oper- ators In answering emergency calls. The Michigan State Police dis- patched Troopers John Oerocco and Donald Hobart to Lowell and they assisted local authorities and directed traffic. M-ll was blocked to through traffic most of Sunday and Monday except for those will- ing to risk their motors In nearly three feet of water. Residents of ths east side were prevented from reaching the main section of town by water which overflowed the banks v along the and flooded eastward across Mon roe down Avery street and across both Washington and Jefferson streets, then Joining with Oiand river which covered the entire southeast part of the village. No P. M. Trains For Three Days A hundred-foot section of track washed out on the P. M. railroad and cut off all trains through the village Sunday and Monday, service being resumed Tuesday. The rail- road bridge across the Flat river below Mnln-st. threatened to float away with the rising tide until loaded box cars were pushed out on the structure Sunday afternoon. Edward Kiel was busy all Satur- day night and Sunday saving his bountiful crop of Easter lilies Just ready for the market from the rising waters which surrounded his greenhouses and covered the floor to a depth of three feet. Continued warm weather save* 1 the flowers from damage In the heatless green- house. and the proprietors announce that the waters have subsided and that they are now doing business as usual at the old stand. Red Cross To Help Families Soffering From Flood Damage All families who suffered flood damage and are in need of assist- ance should register with the Amer- ican Red Cross at the City Hall in Lowell this week Friday and Sat- urday afternoons, from 1:30 to 8:00.

From the Pockets of Michigan Taxpayers LEDGER ENTRIES THE WALKING HABIT It Is remarked that many persons seem to lack the ability to walk any considerable distance. If It becomes necessary to do some walking, they would soon get tired. In the old days walking for pleas- ure or .-•xerclse was a very common habit. Many people would take long walks out In the country and enjoy the scenes of Nature. Nowaday many women would say they get all the walking they need while performing the duties of housework or of some Job, and many men would feel that their active occupations give them all the exercise they want. Walking, unless one has to do a great deal of It In his work, la called a very healthful exercise, and The word "taxes" repeated 300 times would Indicate the number of revenue sources national, state and local units of government use to siphon dollars from the pockets of Michigan taxpayers according to Henry Steffens, director of the Michigan Survey, a state-wide tax- payer organization. Most of these taxes. Steffens said. are paid indirectly, hidden froml bod,| y functions Pr0 ^ bl y ro*"* public view in the prices paid for P^nswhoslt downa their consumer goods But they s u c c e e d - 1 ^ benefited if they ed in taking $2,294,600,000 from | liadc the effort to do rnore wa,k " Michigan residents in the fiscal year 1947. | " In a recent Survey release, it is HOME KEEPING A FINE ART pointed out that the well-known Thp modprIl housewife la likely taxes on income, sales, property.

Latest figures show that, on a per capita basis, every man, woman and child in Michigan paid the equivalent of $296 for federal gov- ernment, $47 for state government and $39 for local government last year, Steffens said, or a total of $382. T h i s is more than 30 per cent of the average income in Michigan. One way to meet this situation la to go slow on dll but the most crit- ical construction projects to reduce competition with private building and to conserve funds for times when their expenditure will have a beneficial effect on the employment picture."

Gramer, for the past 24 years, mashal of the village of Lowell, was laid to rest last Sunday afternoon following an Illness of several months' duration. Funeral services were held at the Roth Chapel Sunday afternoon, March 21. at two o'clock, the Rev. Norman G. Woon officiating. Burial in Oakwood cemetery. In his passing the community loses an honest, capable and pains- taking officer. Even those words do not express Fred Oramer's main attribute—that of his friendly and undestanding treatment of offend- ers, especially the younger ones, for he had the faculty of winning their cooperation. Seldom If ever, did he find It necessary to adopt sterner measures. He was loyal to his friends and was in the habit of go- ing out of his way to do a good turn. Fred was born in Manchester, Washtenaw county, June 3, 1881. He came to Lowell at the age of eight years. In 1906 he was united in family find rest and peace. There is also the idea of a friendly atmo- sphere, in which those who come to the home are welcomed and en- Joy Its life. The provision of attractive and nourishing meals Is to be con- sidered a fine art, and It makes a great contribution to the health and welfare of a family. Very like- ly the majority of women enjoy this Job of cookery, and study it with careful attention. It gives them satisfaction when they get good results. Maintaining a nice home is to be regarded as a fine and high achievement. COMPLAINTS IN DAILY LIFE There Is a great deal of com- plaining In ordinary life, and a big part of It is simply used as materi- al for conversation, and often a s a subject for laughter. People say "Ain't It terrible?" about the weather or something they do not llke. They may feel better when they get these complaints out of their system. After making them, they may go home In a good na- tured spirit, and fairly well satis- fled with their Uvea. It does not accomplish a great deal for people to be chronic com- plalners. and to be constantly find- ing fault. It is well to remember that life for the great majority has a good deal more of sunshine than of rain. GARDEN THOUGHTS As the time for starting garden work comes nearer, the great num- ber of persons who enjoy that ac- tivity have pleasant thoughts about that work. A great number do not seem to look at It as work, but rather as a recreation and a pleas- ure They would greatly regret It if for any reason they had to give up this satisfaction.

They are very fine people office of village marshal, a and are greatly admired. Their position whlclh he held until the' 8t rong convictions are a great cor- time of his death. Little Tricks Lount With Good Cooks To serve meals that your family and friends will brag about, remem- ber "It's' the little things that count." Those little trlcka that mean so much are simple to do and remem- ber says Annanel Jubb of the foods department at Michigan State col- lege who suggests a few for us. With one Item such as mara- schino cherries you can do so much. For an Interesting boiled or seven- minute frosting use the cherry Juice in place of the water. Then add a few chopped cherries to It or use them as a garnish. Or for a salad, blend the cherry Juice with Philadelphia cream cheese and fill the centers of canned pears, apri- cots, peaches or pineapple rings. Chop a few cherries and add to the salad dressing. Have you ectlve of human faults, and are like the salt which gives savor to the food to which It Is spplled. The world also needs people who can be compared to pepper, whose active natures make life more in- teresting. and who start activities that society finds very useful and enjoyable. The folks who can be compared to salt add a great deal of character to human life, and those who can be compared to pepper do a lot to keep It moving. HOME TOWN THOUGHTS Home Town Thoughts are always useful, and they are doubly so If they lead to some action tending toward progress. The person who can find things to talk about with anyone whom he meets, has a valuable gift and will make many friends.

    Michigan State college agrclul-tural engineers warn that corn moisture should be checked this spring. If it's more than 20 percent during the winter months, and the corn is stored in a poorly ventilated crib eight feet wide or wider, spoil-age is very likely to occur In the spring when weather gets warmer.

    Keep your temper. No one else wants It.

    The more arguments you win, the more friends you lose.

    Governor Says His Reionn Program Would Mean Better Government

    LOWELL. MICHIGAN

    Folks on the east side of Kent County who didn't attend the f irs t annual farm and home day at Low-ell laat week Tuesday missed an en-joyable event.

    Sponsored by the Lowell Board of Trade the day's program went off without a hitch, only more folks should have been there to have partaken of the good dinner tha t Lowell businessmen prepared and served.

    Russell Horwood's pictures of Japan, Dr. Hardin 's discussion of European conditions, Dr. Perr ln 's talk and pictures of new materials used In agriculture were well re-ceived. Music by Lowell school band, the picture of "A Miracle In Paradise Valley," plus the band f rom Detroit all went to make a well-rounded program. The com-mittees on the Lowell| Board of Trade are to be commended on the f ine way all details wore handled.

    .Extension Service would like to see this a f fa i r made an annual event. Am sure another year would see many more f a rm folks present.

    Three Kent County 4-H Club members had entries In the annual S ta te 4-H Club Market Show last week Friday and Saturday. Charles Werner of Walker, Russell Falea of Sparta , and Joan Carlson of Bowne townahlp.

    These animals will be Judged and •old. Reports later about Kent 's re-sults.

    The State Seed Testing: Labora-tory at Lansing are getting many samples of seed right now, one sign t h a t spring Is not far away. Charles Stahl, state s ied analyst, reports tha t 2,428 samples were received in February; a third more than a year ago. Testing seed Is not a hur ry Job and to do a good Job the person doing It cannot hurry. Some seeds such as radish can be done In six

    days, but other varieties t ake as high as thirty days.

    If you don't get a quick answer to the sample you sent remember there may be others ahead of you or the ' seed might be a slow ger-minator.

    C d i t o r i a l FEDERAL ENCEOACHMENT

    •Angered over the tax-free advan-tage of numerous Federal Agencies anu corporations," wrote John P. Callahan In the New York Times of Janua ry 18, "the American Munic-ipal Association last week girded itself for a drive on Congress to enac^L legislation tha t would add more than a billion dollars to municipal treasuries all over the country."

    Federal business activities, which have little or no connection with the basic constitutional duties of the government, h a v e reached plague dimensions in the last f i f-teen years m so. More and more land has been acquired by the Fed-eral agencies, which now own al-most half of the eleven western states. The military forces own various industrial properties which have been leased to private bus-iness but which, because of their ownership, escape all or part of the taxes they would otherwise pay. And, most Important of all, the Fed-eral government has goqe Into the electric power business on an enor-mous scale, depriving the munic-ipalities and all other units of gov-ernment of the heavy tax revenues the private utilities would pay.

    This would be a grave mat te r at any time. I t Is especially grave now that the burden of taxation and the task of servicing and retir ing the national debt are among our tough-est national problems. The Munic-ipal Association, whose membership represents close to 10,000 commun-ities, will perform a service to all the country If it can make publicly operated business which competes with private business, comply with the tax laws that apply to all pri-vate citizens. It is high time to weed out the tax dodgers.

    Governor Kim Slgler haa a tough nut to crack; Htow can he success-fully . dissociate his personal am-bitions from his new p rogram of constitutional reform?

    It 's not an easy task. The proh-blem boils down to something like this.

    Slgler Is asking the legislature to submit amendments to Michigan voters next November. T h e s e amendments. If approved, would lengthen terms of the governor and other state officials f r o m two to four years, would permit the gov-ernor to appoint the secretary of state and attorney general, would permit legislators to set salaries of their successors and elective state officials, and would permit the

    [calling of a consti tutional conven-tion by a majority of the votes cast for such a convention call, not a major i ty of all voters who go to the

    'polls.

    Governor Slgler Is convinced that these steps would make for better and more responsible government In Michigan. But a number of legis-lators are yet to be convinced. They link the reforms to personal am-bitions of Slgler, a desire to get greater power for himself, not for his successor.

    If Slgler is re-elected In Novem-ber for a second term, the four-year te rm amendment would de-prive him of one month of thia sec-ond term. He would go out of office on December 1, 1950, Instead of on

    j Jan . 1, 1951, As Slgler sees It, the Dec. 1 in-

    augurat ion date Is evidence Itself tha t he would deprive himself of one month and that this would benefit his successor, not himself. While he has not said he would re-tire at the end of a aecond term, he had plainly inferred it.

    Fur thermore, the governor has emphasized repeatedly tha t he does not look upon the governshlp as a stepping stone to the United States Senate or other political pjibllc service. He would like to do some-thing about bet ter government, and he Is not satisfied to hold the office of governor unless he strives to accomplish this.

    In the governor's mind, the re-form program should not be auoc l -ated with Slgler's political future .

    But it Is Inevitable tha t some leg-islators will want to be convinced. Frankly, they're not altogether sold.

    For one thing, the governor's amendments would s t rengthen the power of the governor and other elective officials, but they would do little for legislators. The right of the legislators to Increase salaries would not apply to themselves but to their successors. Legislative In, cumbents would be exempt. State officials would not. While terms of elective officials would be stretched to four years, terms of senators and representatives would remain a t two years.

    Speaker Victor A. Knox of the !Soo said, "there is a feeling among .many members that If we are to grant a four-year t e rm to the gov-ernor, the same reasoning would apply to the legislature Itself."

    And there you have It—human na ture Inevitably In action. Unking a man's program of change to his

    personal ambitions. Governor. Slgler poinU out tha t

    since the 1908 constitution waa adopted, only five governors have served more than one term. "Most of the time we havo had a shif t of administrations every two years. In the light of these facts, can any-one wonder why a well planned pro-gram of state government has not been carried out?

    "Does anyone seriously contend that a worth-while program can be accomplished In two years? . . . Governors a re not In office long enough to lay out a program and see It through."

    | As for greater power for the gov-ernor, here Is a quotation f rom Slg-ler's message to the legislature: "It is the governor to whom the people look for administrat ive accompllsh-

    iment, and whom they blame for lack of It. The tools of administra-tion, however, have not been pro-vided to enable the chief executive of our state to fulfill this respon-sibility. . . . There should be author-ity commensurate with that re-sponsibility."

    Governor Slgler asks the legis-lature to create a s ta te depar tment of administration which would take over function of numerous s t ^ e boards and agencies. The govei ror would appoint Its director. This de-partment would handle budgeting, purchasing and accounting. This department! would give the gov-ernor, says Slgler, "the means to get a Job done," a "right a rm" with powef to get results. I t Is a good Illustatlon of what Kim Slgler wants.
