Dr. Winston B. Prothro, Kent County Health Officer, has an-nounced that the 16th Annual Par-ent Institute-Nursery School f o r hearing-impaired pre-school chil-dren and their parents will be held in Flint, Michigan on March 18434.
Dr. Prothro said that the purpose of the institute is to accelerate the early educational and social de-velopment of deaf and hard of hearing children. This is very im-portant. he said, because what par-ents know and do in relationship to the young child with a hearing loss is very important in the child's school and adult years.
The exact number of pre-school children having a hearing loss in Kent County is not known, Dr Prothro said. However, based on studies in connection with the health department's hearing screen-ing program in the schools. It is estimated that three out of every one hundred children have a hear-ing loss severe enough to require medical attention.

On the day of the equinox the Sun will rise and set almost ex-actly at the east and west points of the horizon, and day and night will be of equal length
March 28 will bring a full moon of bpt-cial significance, says Piv-fessor Lush. It is the flmt full moon after the vernal equlnx which determines when Easter will be. "Easter falls on the first Sun-day after the first full moon after the vernal equinox," Professor Losh describes.
Venus continues as the conspicu-ous "Evening Star" in the south-J west. It is steadily growing bright-er and is visible for a longer time after sunset. On the evening of March 15, the crescent moon will pass about a degree above Venus, the astronomer ix)ints out.
Jupiter, another bright planet, rises in the east aiound sunset and remains close to the bright star, Regulus, in the Sickle of Leo, the Lion.
Two interesting Spring constella-tions will begin coming up soon after sunset in March, Professor Losh observes.
The first to look for is Bootes, the giant "Bear Driver." This con-stellation is easily recognized by the kitelike outline formed by its principal stars, and by the presence of the bright orange star, Arcturus, in the tall of the kite.
"Arcturus is one of the bright ems In the heavens during the
j Spring and early Summer evenings. It rises about twenty-five degrees north of the east point of the hori-son," she says.

No Symptoms in Early Tuberculosis
"There are no Symptoms in Ear-ly Tuberculosis" Is the slogan on 1,000 colorful posters which were distributed this week by the Kent County Tuberculosis Society to sev-eral hundred industries and busi-ness places.
After this fact had been scientifi-ically proven the society decided it could be of the greatest help tc Kent health departments in their control of this tricky disease if a mobile x-ray unit were purchased so that small chest x-rays may be available to everybody in K e n t County.
"Our Christmas Seal x-ray unit Is now ten years old", stated John P. Otte, Jr., president of the Kent Tuberculosis Society. "With it we have taken 150,000 chest x-rays, several hundred cases of active and arrested cases of tuberculosis have been found among apparently well people, besides many cases of lung cancer, certain kinds of heart con-ditions, tumors, fungus diseases, et cetera. All of this early discovery has helped to prevent the spread of TB and saved the health and lives of many others".
Ada Saturday The home of Mr. and Mrs. Rich-

The bride chose a white faille suite, and carried a bouquet of white sweet peas, centered with a white orchid.
Miss Shirley Bruinekool was her Maid of Honor. She wore a blue linen suit, and her corsage was of pink sweetheart rosebuds. Assist-the groom as best man was his brother Ward Schantz.
A small reception for the wed-ding guests was held at the home at the bride's parents immediately following the ceremony.

Hybrid vegetables—some now a vailable. others next year—will probably replace standard varie-ties. the way hybrid com did. said Richard Reath, assistant Kent county farm agent.
Until recently the hybrid vegeta-bles were only a researcher's tool and dream. Now gardeners and commercial growers can get hy-brid tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet com.
Hybrid onions will be available in 1957.
John Heys, commercial vegeta-ble grower in south Grand Rapids, found that outdoor hybrid tomatoes were vigorous, high-yielding plants.
This tomato develops a smooth, strong, shiny, rich red skin, has a good shoulder, and exhibits good shipping qualities.
The greenhouse Michigan—Ohio hybrid tomato, developed by Goert-sma brothers, here in Grand Ra-pids, is also highly successful.
Reath said the Morton hybrid is a satisfactory outdoor variety for this area.
H y b r i d cucumbers, however, have not measured up to qualities ol standard varieties.
Most popular sweet com variet-ies are proven hybrids, according to Reath.
Although hybrid seed is more ex-pensive than standard variety seed, advantages help off-set extra cost. They are more vigorous and develop more uniform vegetable growth. And. yields, the important factor, are h ighe r , ^

Form Land Paradox Explained by Bureau
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco-nomics of the Department of Agri-culture has just released figures on the course of farm incomes, prices and land values.
Since 1948 net farm income is down 40 per cent; average farm commodity prices are down 20 per cent; prices of farm lands are up 30 per cent. Eight per cent of the 30 was added during 1955.
Explanation: The able farmer commanding the capital—as much as 5250,000, says one farm man-agement agency—necessary to set up and run the most efficient farm today, can make a lot of money under price supports. He buys smaller farms and combines them.
Moreover, city people with yeam-ings for country life have more money, and use it to buy farms.
Big customers have their begin-ning In small orders.

Standard varieties depend upon nature for pollinating—by wind, in-sects. and birds. Hybrids are de-veloped by controlled system of breeding.
Controlled breeding is not new. he said. This is the means used to develop and maintain pruebred livestock, and the principle has been adapted to plant life develop-ment.
As soon as controlled breeding Is practiced, hand labor costs enter where formerly there were no cost. But. extra yields off-set this extra cost, Reath said. tj '
Michigan Fishermen Make Record Catches
More than 1,500,000 fishermen tested their skill in Michigan's lakes and streams last year and made record catches In at least one region.
A check of records at Traverse City showed people caught more big fish in the Grand Traverse area in 1955 than in any previous year.
The Traverse C!ty chamber of commerce awarded 260 Che-Ge-Gon plaques to fishermen who land-ed exceptionally big fish in the a-rea. The plaques get their name from the Indian term for "big fish."
Heading the list of big fish a-wards were 129 brown trout, in-cluding 116 from Lake Leelanau In Leelanau county. The largest brown trout recorded in the area was an 11-pounder taken from the lower Boardman River.
Other record catches included a 27-inch rainbow trout which weigh-ed nine pounds. U H ounces;

Right off, you feel the stepped-up getaway in Buick** new Variable Pitch Dynaflow*—a blazing new take-off even before you switch the pitch.

It's a double-barreled package of excitement-and it's teamed with the most powerful V8 engine in Buick history —a 322-cubic-inch engine with no less than 0.5 to 1 compression in every Ckntury, Super and ROAOMAmiL
All that would seem like thrill enough-but you'll find you've hardly scratched the surface.
Youll find yourself glowing all over from the sweet and level buoyancy of Buick's great new ride.
You'll fed a serene satisfaction from the way this trim beauty handles and comers and tracks to the road with the truest sense of direction yet.
And certainly youll have to feel the guod felins that's yours just from bossing this big and brawny and beau-, tifully sculptured automohile that's like a thing alive, and impeccably obedient.
We'd like you to know and feel all this firsthand-just by trying out a new Buick. That's all you do to join Buick's Thrill-A-Minute Club.

2 If you must bum leaves or trash (assuming your town allows It), be very sure your fire cannot get out of hand. Bum on a calm day. use a metal basket with a cover, set it well away from any building or fence. Hook up your garden hose and keep it handy. Stay with your fire until It is out and the ashes are cool enough to touch with bare hands. Keep chil-dren away.
3. Never throw a lighted match or butt from a car window. Use the car ashtray. And whenever you throw away matches or smoking materials while you are out walk-ing, hunting or picnicking, make sure they are dead out.
4. If you own a field you intend to bum over, the best idea is to change your mind. Burning over a field destroys valuable humus on top of the soil, and the fire is very apt to get out of control. If you must do so, however, first plow a firebreak at least six feet wide around the field. Alert the fire de-partment before you light the fire.
iSet it to bum against rather than jwith the wind, and avoid burning | when the wind is high.

Alto Families I eave Homes as Flood Waters Hit
Several Alto families experienced what a flood means to a commun-ity last week when the water got out of control because of a plugged culvert. Water flooded their cellars to such an extent that they were forced to leave home and take shelter with some of their rela-tives or friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Porritt spent three nights with their son Kendal and wife as the water was so high they couldn't use their fumace and the electricity had to be tumed off.
Ed Clark also left his water-logged house and was a guest of Dick Fairchild, nnd Mr. and Mrs Robert Onan and baby took refuge with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Chas. DcminR.
The Alto Fire Department took charge Saturday and pumped all the water out of the cellars and when the householders got rid of the mud and things got dried out we hope they can all continue liv-ing normally again.

To assess your debt capacity or the soundness of your debt load, check it with the rules of profes-sional credit men, as set forth in a March Reader's Digest article condensed from Changing Times.
First, list your iebts or prospec-tive debts. Forget your mortgage, 30-day charge accounts, business loans, monthly items such as milk bills; but include payments on per-sonal loans, instalment plans, car, home-maintenance and improve-ment loans. Then consider three yardsticks by which credit men de-termine safe ratios of debt to in-come:
1. Total debt should not much ex-ceed 20 per cent of annual income. A family with $4800 in take-home pay should limit its debt to about 11000.
2. Hie total you owe should not exceed the amount that ten per cent of your monthly Income could pay off in 18 months. By this yard-stick the debt limit of the same S400-a-month family would be S40 tim.?s 18, or 1720.
3. Your debts should total no more than one third of your annual "discretionary income," meaning income not heeded for food, cloth-ing and shelter. If the J4800-a-year
family spends $3180 on these essen-tials, its "discretionary income is $1620. Debt limit by this yardstick:
The three yardsticks thus yield a safe debt range of roughly $500 (conservative) to $1UX) (near the ceiling) for the $4800 family. Young men with pressing needs and pros-pective higher earnings may stretch the limit. Those with unusually high rent or mortgage obligations should play safe.
Credit experts wam that instal-ments payments exceeding 25 per cent of monthly take-home are lim-it loads. The risk should be spread by owing no single creditor more than ten per cent of monthly in-come. Exceptions, however, are noted. Car-loan payments may safely be 15 to 30 per cent of month-ly salary.
Use your charge account for a convenience, not as a device to spend next month's income before you get it. Credit's best use is for emergencies or necessary equip-ment—a new refrigerator rather than a fur coat.
While cash transactions are saf-er, "credit has become the lifeblood of everyday financial dealings," the article points out. "Good credit, wisely handled, Is a priceless as-set."
Your Partner In Safety! Here, from your partner in safety—the truck dr iver-are some friendly suggestions for furthering safe driv-ing on our highways. If everybody cooperates, we'll all enjoy happier, safer driving.
1. Be sure your car is In good operating condition at all times.
i . Obey all traffic laws.
S. In planning a trip, don't schedule more miles per day than you can com-fortably a n d safely drive.
4. On long drives, s t o p now and then to rest and relax.
5. Never pass on a hill.
6. Courtesy and patience are two very necessary ingredients of safe driv-tag.
7. Don't follow too closely the car ahead of you.
8. Accident statlsties con-tinue to rate speed as the number one cause of automobile accidents — so keep H down.
