GOOD TOWN TO LIVE IN

lYOU OFTEN hear It said that •uch and mch a place U a food

town to live In. What qualities does a community need In order to rate aa such a place?

A food town to live In has, first, public spirited people. Tou want to IIV* In a'communlty where the peo-ple conform to food and progrea-rtvo Ideas. Second, well kept streets and boAies. Tou would hate to show your frieDdi that you llv« in a dis-orderly and run-down sort of place. 'Third, social and civic Inttltutloni where you fe t benefits and enjoy

life. Fourth, food schools and well manafed public Institutions. Lowell has these things and Is refarded

a satisfactory residence com-munity.

As announced in this paper last week what promises to be one of the most Interesting events ever staged here will be the annual Father and Son banquet next Mon-day night, April 18, a t 7:00 o'clock in the high school auditorium un-der sponsorship of Lowell Rotary Club.

The big feature of the banquet will be colored motion pictures of Alaska taken last summer by Philip T. Rich, editor of the Midland Dally News whose JoUrney by boat, plane, railroad and on foot covered over 5,000 miles.

Mr. Rich wjll present four 400-foot reels of pictures. The first reel will be devoted to scenes of the ocean voyage and the cities of the Alaskan ,,panhandle.,' including Ketchikan, Sitka. Skagway and the capital city, Juneau. The coastal cities are narrow and built along precipitous banks.

The second reel opens with a colorful pageant a t Skagway, in commemoration of the downfall of the lawlessness of the early min-ing <Uya and the establishment of law and order ri» the territory. The totem poles cf the native Alaska Indians were in evidence -te many places ttMtad by Mi*. Rkh.

At the first of April there were 597 telephones In service in the Lowell exchange, representing a gain of two during March, accord-ing to W. P. Helnzelman, manager In this area for the Michigan Bell Telephone Company.

The most disastrous fire in the history of Lowell occurred Just 35 years ago today, April 11, 1906. Several stores were wiped out en-tailing a loss of around $100,000. Turn to the "Long Ago Itsms" on another page for more details.

Arthur VanEck of Grand Rapids is the name of the gentleman who Is taking the census In Lowell. Mr. VanEck states that his work here will be completed by the end of April. He also reports that all clt-Ixens have been giving cheerful cooperation.

fagerprint Over 700 Local Pnpils

Mr. Shears, assistant In the tureau of Identification from East ansing. gave an interesting his-

torleal background of the finger-printing system In a talk before the entire student body of Lowell

school In a.) assembly pro-Monday morning. He ex-

how the fingerprinting praject would serve all In estab-Hahlng Identity.

On Tuesday morning, seven ex-wto were present at the high

school to take prints. Adrisn Zwemat-, local science instructor, In-chkrge of the project here, atat-ed that he expected there would bis overf 700 cards of students on file when the work is completed.

Is being done with Federal food stamps. For every dollar a welfare client spends on food, he gets a bonus of 50 cents' worth of extras he previously couldn't afford.

Since March 16, some 11.905 fam-ilies In Kent County have been eli-gible to receive the benefits of this flK9C plan and about .MOO already have made purchasaa About SB.-000 worth of stamps were sold to Kent clients during the first two weeks of participation.

Six hundred and fifty merchanta In Kent County, all partlcipatfng In the plan, indicated that stamps have stimulated retail sales.

The Ledger has not fbufid it pos-sible to -.interview aJl.TL^well food dealers on the worklrtg^'of the food stamp plan', howevet managers of the following stores have been in-terviewed and they doubtless ex-press the opinions held by all other food dealers. We quote as folkrirs:

Local Dealers Endorse Plan Howard Smiley, manager A ft P.

Store: "One of the greatest things that could happen to Kent County. 1 am very much in favor of It. It has increased our business a great deal. I believe that one of the big-gest features of the program U that the stamps must be used for food, which is of course a necessity, while If cash Is available to clients it might be spent on other things which are not needed so badly," •

L. A. Weaver and Sons market: "It Is a tremendous help to both the merchant and the client for when a person can get $1.50 food value for $1 It Is naturally an ad vantege. Buslnesa In general has In-creased since the new program haa been In effect Although It entails a little more book work, we feel It is well worthwhile."

Jay Bolens, manager Kroger store: "We are all for It. It helps the farmer move his surplus more readily and enables the relief fam-ilies to have a more desirable choice of surplus commodities than here-tofore. Our business has shown an increase since the stamps were lasued. It Is a good program and It Is our opinion that everyone ahould back It up. Without the cooperation of all, the ultimate a-chievementa are lost"

Other local dealers to speak equally In approval of the food stamp plan Include Hahn's Grocery, the C. Thomaa store and Van's Super Market

In commenting on the program, C. H. Runclman, member of the state social welfare commission, says: "The food stamp plan works direct benefits In three ways—by giving the client a larger and bet-ter variety of food at less cost to him, by helping the farmer through the increased consumption of eur-plus foods and thirdly, through ad-ditional cash business for the mer-chant. There are also Indirect bene-fits and the whole plan looks good to me."

More Summer Clubs

The Morse Lake Junior Farmers' Club has elected Harold Bloomer aa pres-ident; Raymond Houghton, vice president; John Regan, Jr., secre-tary-treasurer. Lisle Clark ia local leader. The club has 19 members and will carry dairy, beef, poultry, sheep and crops projects

The Bowne Junior Livestock Club elected Earl Posthumus, president; George Krebs, vice president; Wal-ter Wlngeler, secretary;- Charles Posthumus, treasurer. Alex Win-

is local leader with Earl aa -assistant. This clnb

carries dairy, sheep, colt and •wtte projects and has 24 memberil. "

The Paris-Cascade 4-H Uvesfock Club has elected Elmo S^Ur l pres-ident; Raymond Slater, secrstarx; Miner Patterson, treasurer. .Thomas Slater Is local leader. This club has 14 members and will csury dairy, sheep and swine project*.

•»' ..IMill. < U : lit n't. According, tp the most .ACQwa'^

nation wlde-aurvey to date, Mich-igan has a total of 619,000 acres on which severe erosion haa nmds. the land economically of . as* use for crops or grazing. This Is an area larger than Kent county. • '

Contrast that with the stage's total farm acreage of 18 ^nllllbn and It doesn't seem serious but' So nearly 4H million other acres Some serious erosion has occurred. Con-trol measures can be applied to In-sure continued productivity - on these lands.

Goals today In soil conservation plans in Michigan are to use the poor lands to their best use but to direct attention to the conservation of the more valuable acreages In what still is comparatively good land.

The above Information comsa from E. C. Sackrlder, Michigan State College, representative of the Soils Conservation Service of the U. S. D. A.

Rise of the Soybean

Probably no cash crop has had quite the rapid rise. th»t.«oybaana have had in thia county the last six years. In .addition to. a-.cash crop they have provided hay, tor-age and green manure crops.

From 1924 to 1938 acreage, to-creased from twp. million to fyur million acrea but ' ln 1923 (0 mil-lion were harvested. Production for beans jumped from five gtiUlen bushcla in 1924 to 18 million Mfta la In 1933 and 87 million bushels Ui 1939.

Four states have the gredtact acreage-Ohio, Indiana, Illioota tUM| Iowa. In these states 6oyMan)|' have taken acreage previously planted to corn and oats. Sixty-one percent of total acreage was' In these states In 1939 and 91% of the beans harvested.

Reasons for this Increase- in popularity is the plant's abUitr to withstand droughts, freedom from disease or Insect pests, adaptability to crop rotations, poaaibillty. harvesting with a small but last but not least they a ready caah Income.

This Increase In the production and crushing of soybesms has in-tensified the problem of making profitable disposition of the grow-ing surplus of food fats and oils produced In this country.

Soybeans have been grown in Kent county for hay, green manure crop, pasture and for the grain. The latter has been used by dairy farms as a protein grain food. Kent county farmers can hardly compete with the corn belt states in the production of soybeans but there Is a place In our agricultural progam for this legume crop.

POLITICS: In the Spring

From cosit to coast in early April the grais roots were turning green. For politicians more lhan anyone else, the fresh spring air was fllled with andclpatlon. Congress grew reatlesi, prompting Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley to forecast adjournment in June Just before the national conventions.

More pointed harbingers of an flection year were primaries in New York and Wisconsin, which sent youthful Tom Dewey'i star a-soar-ing and left Cactus Jack Gamer 's supporters hanging on the ropes. In the Empire state, whose delegstes will be uninstructed, O. O. P. Hope-

Declares S t l awrenoe Waterway Bernerflto Imaginary

Editor Ledger: In the Ledger of March 14th ap-

peared an article by Don Vander-Werp in which the alleged benefits of the proposed St. Lawrence water-way are extolled. Because this ai^ t ide seems to me to contain many extravagant claims as to the Ima-ginary benefits which would result from the proposed construction of thU waterway, I would like to pre-sent some data which I have com-piled relating to this project

F i r s t what will the S t Lawrence waterway cost? Mr. VanderWerp states the estimated cost is (2S8,-000,000.00 of which New Tork State will pay $90,000,000.00. Aa a matter of fact no one knows even approxi-mately what the coat would be. When this project came up for con-sideration in 1933 we were given the following estimates of its cost: The International Joint Commis-sion, $548,429,000.00; Hugh L. Coop-er, International Engineer, $1,250, 000,000.00; E. P. Goodrich, Consult-ing Engineer, $1,054,000,000.00; Har-old E. Moulton, Brooking Institute, $712,000,000,00; Ex-Pres. Herbert Hoover, Engineer, $800,000,000.00; George Creel, from $999,000,000.00 up to $1,860,000,000.00.

If we average these estimates by the experts we find that the av-erage estimated cost of the water-way at tha t time was $891386,000.00 —a figure approaching the billion-dollar mark.

Of course, all estimates are only approximations and we can tell but little from them except that Invariably the actual cost of similar projects which have been completed have been double and even triple the amount of the estimated crst . For examnle, please consider the following table of various water-ways and compare the estimated cost with the actual cost:

E s t Coat Act Cost millions millions

M papers which Germany claimed to have taken from Polish archlvet when Warsaw was seized. Basis for the Nnoi' charge was tht testi-mony of three translators who indi-cated that "the German propa-ganda ministry has slipped some new words into the Polish lan-guage." Two translators "com-mented that the report was written in such poor Polish that no states-man could hsve been guilty at Its authorship." Two words, they said, were not even in the Polish lan-guage; a third was archaic.

Also in congress; C. By limiting debate, the tanatc expedited approval of a house reso-lution to extend for three years the a(!mlnistration's reciprocal trade program. Biggest stumbling block was the attempt to retain Icnate ratification power over such trea-

We doubt that the St. Lawrence would be any exception to this rule —very likely it would cost double or triple the estimated cost

But whether the St. Lawrence waterway would coat $258,000,000.00 or a billion dollars, please remem-ber this: The tax-payers of the United States will put up all the money, for we are to advance the Canadian share—and even advance New York's share if we are requeet-ed to do so by the New York State Power Authority. We—the taxpay-era—are to provide all the funds, including those spent for the part of the work which would be done ia Canada with Canadian materials and by Canadian workmen.

The Canadian payments are to be deferred until 1949. Without questioning the honesty and good tBtentkma of our Canadian friends, we must recognise the plain fact that Canada ia engaged in what ap-pears to be a long-drawn-out war aad no one can predict with any certainty that her par t of the ooet of the waterway win be paid in 1949—or that it will be paM at aU If, moat unfortunately, the totali-tar ian nations ahould emerge vio-torious, or even if the war ia un-duly prolonged

(Editor's Note—On account of ite length, this communication by Charlea H. Smith will be concluded in a subsequent issue.)

MManOANf TANDKNBEBO Dtwty mho brtU Roo—vtU. ful Frank Gannett was nevertheless pigeon-holed in the public mind In America's Dalryland, Tom Dewey not only outpointed Michigan's Sen. Arthur Vandenber? for G. G. P. del-egates but also got more votes than Franklin Roosevelt got in the Dem-ocratic primary.

If third termites thought the Pres-ident's Wisconsin victory over Jack Garner was a favorable sign, they also saw signs to the contrary. In Los Angeles Eleanor Roosevelt spoke her personal opinion; she was against a third term "except in ex-traordinary circumstancest" If Eu-rope's war was such a circum-stance, Sumner Welles had proba-bly convinced the President thst the White House can never bring the Allies and Germany to pesce.

At Monqngah. W. Va., meanwhile, C. I. O.'s John Lewis threatened to start his own third party unless the Democrats choose a platform and candidates suitable to him. Defi-nitely not acceptable, C. I. O. has already Intimated, is Franklin Roosevelt And Montana's Sea Bur-ton K. Wheelef. whom John Lewis would like to see President made It plain at San Francisco that he does not expect the President to run, that he himself is not a third party candidate, but that he would become Democratic candidate should the party invite him.

CONGRESS: Fraud?

Mad as hornets were New York's Rep. Ham Fish and North Caro-lina's Sen. Bob Reynolds. By [bundling Ambassador BUI Bullitt back to France aboard the clipper, Secretary of State Hull had cheated them out of an Investigation.

CHAPTER XIH

The checkerboard of the little street* and the long, wavering pale lines that were the beach and the surf fell away below. The world, only • map now. wheeled and shift-ed: the plane aetUed to a steady droning flight through silver space.

Her thoughts wheeled and circled, too; she was planning busily. Her great adventure was almost over; It had been a t ime of shame and pain and anger, and yet Sheila knew that the was emerging from it rich-er by far than the girl of a few weeks ago.

Ma't life was richer, ifith this new friend to help her. Joe had a Job, and in Frank Mc Cann he had a valuable new friend, too. The Cars-caddens might be moving to wider horizons, to new ideals, in a few weeks more. And however grieved Mrs. Mc Cann might be at Ger-trude's disappointment, and at the publicity that had tuddenly dragged a -jespectabla family into the lime-light, at least ahe had been very kind to Sbella, and Sheila hoped that after quiet weeks—months—of a re-turn to normal conditions, ahe might think of Sheila Carscadden with friendliness and liking again.

But more than all this, more than the excitement and change and sur prise for which Sheila and Angela had sa often prayed, Sbella knew that there was deeper gain. Her own soul bad been racked and stretched and stimulated into new growth. At twenty-one ahe could not analyze all this, yet she was conscious of new wings beneath her spirit, and new courage to face the days that were ahead. •

She would go home and begin to live on lines completely different from the old haphazard waya of the pas t There should be dignity un der teasing and innuendo, there should be loving service quietly and simply rendered. Dishwashing should be ennobled, and Sheila would brush her hair a hundred times every night, and riae in time for a bath every morning. And as for rerdlng—

"Oh. I love it to slide like this!" ahe ahouted to Frank, as the deafen-ing throbSlng of the engine gave way to itillneaa, and the plane in-terrupted bar musing with a grace-tol forward gliding, like a gull.

She looked from the woman's face to Frank's . Frank nodded gravely. His rich black hair was uncovered and tumbled, his face streaked with grease and d i r t

"Couldn't we—couldn't the young Iciy and I be driven straight home? It would be a great accommodation to me , " Frank was saying.

"Keep those people back there!" one of the policemen ordered.

"Ah-h-h!" murmured the crowd. Something was being carried away,! some motor engine was starting.

Look how ber aras'f twisted

•PiPft'hUt'knpfti After a long while and a dead

silence, someone said conversation ally. "You're all right now. aren't you, dear?V"and Sheila answered po Utely, "^'m fine, thank you. Except my head was sort of buzzing—"

"Straighten the poor thing out a little." some woman said compas sionaMy; "look how her arm's twisted under!"

Better leave things like they are until the ambulance gets here," a man's voice demurred.

Sheila did not know they were speaking of her until someone be gan gingerly to raise her shoulders. It felt more comfortable, and she said feebly, "Thanks."

"Her mouth's all blood, she's burst a blood vessel." the flrsi speaker said in a whisper.

There teemed to be a good many persons murmuring and moving about Sheila was conscious of no interest much less concern, in what wat going on. Consciousness waned, strengthened, waned again. She heard • Jumble of words.

"He's took up his last plane!" •omeone said solemnly. And a chor us agreed. "That's r ight He's donf for."

Then there was the gong-gong-gong of a car, and a siren going "Who-oo-oo-ee!" like a great bird sweeping through the world.

"Sick—" Sheila said apologetical-ly, fearing she was going to be ac-tively III. Rut the horrible sensa-tion faded again, and all conscious ness faded with It

Voices presently came back: "His head's smashed. He's done

for, poor fellow! He hasn't moved Ah—God pity him—"

"My arm is broken. Officer, and Tve twisted my ankle."

This was Frank Mc Cann's defi-nite voice speaking over pain, speak-ing slowly. "I 'm anxious about the young girl there." he said. "I tried to get ber. I fainted, I think." .. "Where did you come from—At-

ntlo City?" an official voice In-

"He'a a goner, all r ight Ser-geant," some man muttered in a low tone, and another added. In a deeper voice. "Too late here. Van." ^"Lift that off him—" There was

a bustle, a flurry; watchers said. '•Ah-h-h!"

Sheila opened one eye. A rush of vertigo overwhelmed her. Pain flashed over her head like the strands of a ne t She saw big dim figures, black against the sunshine, and shut her eyes s«ain.

Presently she said. "Frank!" "Right here. Sheila!" he said.

"How—how arc you?" "I wouldn't try to move If I were

you," a voice said respectfully. "The ambulance'll be here In a couple of minutes."

"Give me a hand there, will you?" Frank had somehow dragged him-

self next to her. They were In a sort of park, on snow; green benches were within her line of vision.

With a desperate effort Sheila opened both eyes and Immediately began to laugh and cry, to hiccup and strangle all at once. She strug-gled toward something like a sitting posture.

"Get a priest!" someone whis-pered.

"I 'm all right. Frank," Sheila aaid, carefutfy, because her mouth was stiff, "except that I think I had a nosebleed, and'got knocked o u t "
