A sp(*esman for Hanoi’s delegation at the Paris peace talks asserted the American bombings had occun-ed for the third strai^t day yesterday. The spdcesman charged that three F4 jets of the U. S. Air Force dropped explosives and fragmentation bombs on four viliages and hamlets in the Province of Quang Binh. One of the villages at- tacked, he said, is more than 40 miles north of the demilitarized zone. The United States has claimed the right to send planes, under armed escort, over North Vietnam for reconnaissance. It also has warned the North Vietnamese that U. S. authorities will not hesitate to defend Americans imperiled by hostile actions or to go to the rescue of the crews of downed aircraft. * ★ ★ The North Vietnamese have disputed these claimed American rights. Regardless of that dispute, the spokesman asserted the Americans attacked yesterday and the action was in no way connected with rescue operations.

On Mission for Nixon Scranton to Tour Mideast WILUAM SCRANTON NEW YORK (AP) - President-elect Richard M. Nixon will send former Gov. William S. Scranton of Pennsylvania to Israel and neighboring Arab nations next week to bring himself up to the minute on the potentially explosive Mideast situation. It was learned late yesterday that Nixon will send Scranton on the trip to gather information Nixon will need as ' chief executive. Among the Arab countries that are expected to be on the itinerary are the United Arab Republic, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iran. The fact that this was Nixon’s second overseas assignment for Scranton since the beginning of the presidential campaign added new impetus to speculation that Scranton might be tapped for either secretary of state or U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the new administration, Scranton, after returning from a Adviser to N/^on Proposes Permanent Flexible Surtax WASHINGTON W) - A permanent Income tax surcharge, adjusted annually by Congress to promote maximum growQi with price stability, is proposed by an economic adviser to Presidentelect Richard M. Nixon. The moderate surtax, explained economist Herbert Stein, would be a stabilizing tool whose rates in some years could be “zero or even negative.” * ★ * Stein heads a fiscal study team for Nixon and is director of economic studies at the Brookings Institution, privately supported organization for research in economics, government and the social sciences. Nixon made a campaign commitment to let the 10 per cent surtax expire as scheduled June 30 or “at least significantly reduce it.” But Stein suggests making the surtax an Important addition to the government’s kit of anti-inflation tools. ‘FAIRLY ROUTINE’ The Brookings economist noted Congress is most unlikely to give any presi dent discretionary power to adjust taxes but suggested adjustment of a conlinu jng surtax could become “a fairly tine” process. “’The president would recommend the rate of the surcharge, which might bo zero or even negative, on the basis of In Today's Press Heroic Walk '' Roy wanders through snow i;Vio skvo plane crash victims -M|k6RA4*. \ ^ ,V < Waterford Schools Pf&8»ge of proposals means (11 ..claims days for all—PAGF whatever combinations of considerations he thinks important. “Congress would debate the proposal, and pass it, or reject it. It might use the legislaition in an attempt to force the president to change the expenditure side of the budget, as it did in 1968. “In any case, both Congress and the president would have a vehicle for making an over-all fiscal decision in a fairly routine way . . . with assurance that the decision would not bind the future ...” European fact-finding mission for Nixon, said he had no further aspirations for official positions. But he steered clear of declaring he would not accept a high post were one offered. In 1964, Scranton made an unsuccessful effort to wrest the GOP presidential nomination from Sen. Barry Gold water of Arizona. Aides said Nixon is meeting today with staff advisers—not callers from outside the inner circle. Next week the flow of appointments with outsiders will resume—before the president-elect takes off Thursday for a few days in California that will encompass an address before the Republican Governors Association meeting at Palm Springs. The Nixon family made a flying visit to Washington yesterday to share 'Thanksgiving with ailing former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his family. Nixon later rejwrted he spent about 45 minutes with Eisenhower, recuperating from a series of heart attacks at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He said they discussed “staffing of the new administration” and that Eisenhower gave him “some good advice and council.” The President-elect expressed hope he could meet again with the former chief executive before completing his selections for top federal positions. But Eisenhower was not well enough to join the others as they dined on an Army-prepared Thanksgiving dinner in a small ward dining room. So members of the two families took turns joining Eisenhower for a course served in his sick room. Cong Orders New Guerrilla, Terrorist Effort HONG KONG UP) - The Vietcong today ordered a new guerrilla and terrorist offensive against American and South Vietnamese units and officials. Issued in the name of the military high command of the Vietcong’s liberation armed forces, the order was beamed to South Vietnam by Radio Hanoi and monitored in Hong Kong. ★ ★ It called for a guerrilla and terrorist campaign to “seek out, eliminate, and utterly destroy”: • South Vietnamese central, district and local government officials. • American-South Vietnamese pacification teams working in rural farm and village areas in an attempt to win peasants and villagers over to the Saigon government. • American and combined American-South Vietnamese search-and-destroy units which it said were moving deeper afield and “destroying our villages and occupying our areas.” UNDERGROUND UNITS The order was addressed to the Vietcong’s regular troops, guerrilla units, and “semiarmed” units. The latter are underground units that function as farmers by day and fight by night. ★ ★ ★ “The military high command,” the order declared, “calls upon all the units of the main forces army, the regional army, the guerrilla forces, and the semiarmed units to make certain that the above orders are strictly obeyed in order to obtain greater and more glorious victories for our people.” ★ ★ ★ The command also ordered its military and civilian infiltration units to gain more success in “the campaign of action inside the enemy’s army and inside the enemy’s administration.” The infiltrators must secure more surrenders of troops and weapons, more military defectors, and more administrative defectors, the order said, adding: “eliminate those who are stubborn and those who stand in the way.” Gas Danger Forces 15 Families to Flee MARSHALL (AP) - A red tag on the front of your house means danger if you live in Marshall, Mich., where about 15 families had to flee a series of highly volatile, unexplained natural gas geysers early Thanksgiving Day. Thunderous rumblings and 20-foot geysers forced the evacuation of a half-' mile-square area yesterday. Water pressure in wells rose sharply. Swampland bubbled. A 20-foot section of paved street was torn as a geyser of gaseous water erupted from the middle of the rubble. “It looks like Yellowstone Park down there,” said geologist James Woodruff of the State Conservation Department, motioning toward the Kalamazoo River bank, where most of the gas appeared to be escaping. ‘LOTS OF BUBBUNG’ “There aren’t any more big geysers, but a lot of bubbling,” he said, adding the eruptions could beg’n anew. The level of the Kalamazoo River dropped roughly seven feet in the area about the same time that an explosion ripped through the house of Raymond Kulzick and his family, who were away on a visit. Damage to the house was estimated to be $25,000. Calhoun County Sheriff Joseph Liebheer theorized the explosion was caused by a spark from a heater in the basement as fumes seeped up through the basement floor. Authorities were unable to explain the water level drop in the river. NO LEAKS Geologists in the area said the gas seepages were almost surely natui-al, and a check by gas company workers disclosed no leaks. It was the second time in a month that mysterious underground gas pressure built up in Lower Michigan. Earlier a seven-mile square area at Lee Township, about 12 miles away in south central Michigan, was punctuated by the gas-and-water geysers. Geologists then determined the geysers had something to do with an oil well shaft being drilled. The well casing was filled with a large quantity of concrete and the situation appeared to clear up. One mining expert said he doubted the Marshall and Lee incidents were con- nected. He said the gases sealed off at Lee would have had to travel 12 miles at a level 4,000 feet beneath the surface because of rock strata in the area. ★ * * Gas company workers testing for seepage in the area found 100 per cent concentrations of the odorless, colorless natural gas near the surface in .some places. Coal Mine Hit by New Blast MANNINGTON, W. Va. UP) - Another “major explosion” ripped through No. 9 today, spewing smoke and flame from the mine’s Llewellyn portal near the area where 78 men have been trapped nine days. The early morning blast, the 16th since the initial exlosion Nov. 20, sent flames and a column of white smoke spiraling above the entrance. * ★ ★ Officials directing efforts to rescue the entombed miners promised a “very, very comprehensive evaluation” of the situation within the sprawling mine today. Drillings made by boring through to the deep caverns below produced air samples showing high concentrations of deadly carbon monoxide and dangerous methane gas. CRITICAL PLACE’ Peter P. Ferretti, a vice president of Consolidation Coal Co., was asked if the mine would be sealed and he replied: “I can’t comemnt on that. This, of course, is a possibility. All the information at this time doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look encouraging.” Fair, a Bit Warmer Due for Decern ber It looks like December will arrive tomorrow night fair and somewhat warmer than tonight’s forecast.

SHOPPING DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS Whitmer Surveys Superschool Obstacles Barring delays in the State Legislature or in the construction work, Pontiac Schools Supt. Dr. Dana P. Whitmer feels there will be> few , obstacles in the construction of Pontiac’s we.st side super high school. The site for the new $19-m i 111 0 n school—65 acres of Pontiac State Hospital land — was se- I lected last week | over a 55-acre center city site around ' Orchard Lake Avenue and Bagley. The site for the high school, which will serve 4,500 students, had been the whItmeb object of considerable controversy for several months. ★ ★ ★ For many people supporting the center silo, the selection of the hospital location was seen as a sign of continuation of the decay of downtown Pontiac and further division of the races. F'unds for the construction will come from a $23-million bond is.sue approved by Pontiac School District voters last March. QUESTIONS ANSWERED The following questions on the new super high school were presented to Dr. Whitmer by The Pontiac Press. Q: Is the $18,750,000 which citizens voted for the school sufficient to do the job in the light of the delays which seem to pile up? A: We think so. We have e.stimated the costs to take in the greatest increas-es expected through inflation. The cost figures are based on completion in three years of the new high school, on 550,000 square feet of area at $27.50 per square foot for construction. ■ ★ ★ * Q: What are the delays? A: There is a potential delay for the state hospital site, in that the purchase of the state-owned land by the board of education must be approved by the State Legislature. The next se.ssion opens after the first of the year, but we don’t know how long it will take before the purchase is approved. * ★ t “The proposed central city site would have included many more delays, such as the formulation of the Neighborhood Development Program. Before starting construction there, it would have also required a study and approval of the project by Hou.sing and Urban Development; appraisal, negotiations and probable condemnation of properties at the site; relocation of the people; land clearance, and the progression of the river and drain project. Q: Will a hall in construction for the length of time required to handle the delays add materially to cost” A: The increase in costs caused by the delay would dejxmd primarily on inflation during that time. It is estimated it would have taken one or two years longer on the center site tlian the hospital site. This would have boosted construction costs another $3.5 to $4.5 million. Q: Will a halt in construction also disrupt the schedule for adequately handling the total school population? A: A halt could almost aimplctely put the schedule at a standslill, since the key to tlie schedule is the new high school. We would be unable to luocccd w'ittj other moves tor reorganization gnd ac-eommodation of tlie enrollment. The long-range plan for reorganization includes the two four-year high schools; converting the junior highs, to include sixth, seventh and eighth grades; and making the elementary K 5 (Kindergarten to fifth grade 1 Upon completion of the now high school, the current Central High School would be converted to a middle school. This reorganization should solve all of (Continue*! on Page A 2, Col. 1) ■if A-2 THE PONTIAC PRESS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1968 Protests Temper Mood of Holiday By the Associated Press The traditional “thanks” of Thanksgiving Day, a holiday uniquely American among nations of the world, was tempered this year by scattered protests over those in need in a land of plenty. While thousands of families sat down to turkey dinners with all the trimmings, 10 members of the War Resistors League fasted outside a fashionable Beverly Hills, Calif., restaurant charging that “Americans are gluttons while millions starve.” During the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in Manhattan, featuring eight giant helium-filled balloons of cartoon characters, welfare protestors handed out leaflets to many of the 2.5 million spectators, at least half of them reading, “Thanks for nothing.” A spokesman said the protest was staged to show that “many thousands of Dr. Whifmer Surveys Superschool Obstacles (Continued From Page One) our capacity problems for at least five years. Q: Is there anything now that stops the school board from^starting immediately on the west si(re school project as approved? A; Construction cannot start immediately, because we have a year of architectural work to do. Also, while waiting for approval of the purchase by the Legislature, we can simultaneously proceed with the preliminary phases of architectural planning. ★ ★ ★ Q; Do you think the hospital site is too far from the center of your school population? A: (jeographically, the site looks fairly weU-centered in the section of the district to be served. Most of the population Is in the southernmost part of the district and the hospital site is within the south half. Although it is a little north of the most populated area, we don’t believe it is too far from this area, as the northern half of the district is expected to grow rapidly. poor children in this city and country will face empty plates today.” END FAST At Albany College, 10 students and an adviser ended a four-day fast yesterday aimed at calling attention to hunger. But thousands of the “have nots” also sat down to holiday dinners, thanks to social agencies and organizations such as the Salvation Army, which played host to 1,900 homeless or needy at centers it operates in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island in New York City. * * ★ Two churches, in Harlem and the Bedford Stuvesant section of Brooklyn, served needy or aged neighbors in church halls. Symbolizing the holiday scene around the nation was the family gathering on the Texas ranch of President and Mrs. Johnson, celebrating with their daughters, grandchildren and friends. SONS-IN-LAW MISSING Missing from the Johnson festive board—again typical of hundreds of homes across the land—were the Johnsons’ sons-in-law. Airman 1. C. Patrick J. Nugent and Marine Maj. Charles S. Robb, both serving in Vietnam. The two young men were among 536,000 U.S. troops eating holiday dinners far from their native hearth. President-elect Richard M. Nixon, Mrs. Nixon and their daughters, Tricia and Julie, had TTianksgiving dinner in Walter Reed Army Medical Cenffer, where former President Dwight D Eisenhower is recovering from his seventh heart attack. * ★ ★ * Eisenhower enjoyed what was described as “a somewhat modified turkey dinner” in his private room. He was joined later by Nixon; John Eisenhower, son of the former chief executive, and David, the elder Eisenhower’s grandson, soon to become Nixon’s son-in-law. Near Mannington, W.Va., the tragedy of a coal mine disaster which trapped 79 men threw a pall over the entire com-munity. Two girls from VISTA—Volunteers in Service to America— spent their holiday packing lunches for scores of men still trying to reach the entombed miners at the scene. Waterford to Air School Issues Three public information sessions on the proposed millage increase and bond issue in the Waterford Township School Diistrict will be held next week, Supt. Dr. Don 0. Tatroe said today. ★ ★ ★ The meetings will be held at Crary Junior High, 501 N. Cass Lake, on Monday; Mason Junior High, 3835 W.

The bond issue will not increase taxes. * * ★ School officials have estimated that the nine mills would provide the district with an additional $1,5 million annually for operations. Meadow Brook's Holiday Fare Well-Done 'Magistrate Definitely Is Not a Turkey By DON BRAUNAGEL Opening a play on Thanksgiving Is risky. There is a horrible temptation for reviewers to find some reason to call it a turkey. Fortunately, Meadow Brook Theatre’s second production of the season. Sir Arthur Wing Pinero’s comedy “The Magistrate,” escapes that fate.

By BOB WISLiER The pressure is on again to change the Pontiac Board of Education’s decision to locate the school district’s planned super high school on the site of Pontiac State Hospital. Voice of Oakland County Action League (VOCAL) has begun a petition drive that its leaders hope will sway the school board into changing its Nov. 18 decision. VOCAL’S goal is 10,(K)0 signersi; ★ ★ ★ Behind the scenes, business and civic leaders have been exerting influence in attempts to change the minds of school board members. A reliable source has indicated that some attempt may be made in the state Legislature to block the sale of the state-owned Pontiac State Hospital site to the school board, and one prominent Negro state legislator has pledged his support. LODGE CONTACTED The school district officials have already contacted State Sen. L. Harvey Lodge, R-Waterford Township, to ask that he take the steps necessary to sell the land to the school board as soon as possible. ’The Legislature must authorize sale of the hospital site land. The school board voted 4-3 on Nov. 18 to proceed with construction of the much-discussed super high school, a three-school complex for 4,500 students, on the hospital grounds. 'ITie decision was reached only after it had become a community controversy. * * ★ ’There is strong support in the city for abandoning the plans fw building the school on the hospital site in the city’s north side. Opponents claim that the school should bstead be built on a 45-to-65-acre site in the Bagley-Wessen-Orchard Lake area, a predominately Negro section. ’The latter site was proposed as an alternative to the hospital site in a $26,000 study complete recently by David E. Lewis, a Pittsburgh urban planner. The Pontiac Area Planning Ck)uncil, an advisory group to the school board, and the board’s Committee on Human Relations both vbted overwhelmingly for the central city site. STEPS INTO CONTROVERSY V(X;AL entered the controversy when the report was released. ’The organization, formed to combat racism, suggested that the school should not be built on the hospital site, but instead idiould be constructed on Pontiac’s 27 acres of downtown urban renewal land. ’Hie 27 acres alone would not be enough for the type of school planned. Albert Shaw, acting chairman of VOCAL, said the organization hopes to colled as many signatures as possible and thinks that 10,000 is a realidic goal. The petitions ask that the school board reconsider its Nov. 18 decision and choose instead to build the school on a central city site. * * * Shaw said VOCAL leaders have not indicated on the petitions preference for the Bagley-Wessen area or the downtown site. , . Shaw said VOCAL has several objections to the hospital site. ’The board decision, he said, is another indication that tliose making the decisions prefer to ignore what black people want. ‘LABORIOUS’ TO REACH He said the hospital site would be “laborious” to reach for black students and this factor would only add to the Negro dropout rate. School district officials maintain that switching sites to the central city area would cost another $3 million to $5 million and a delay in completion of the school, at least one year and probably much more. ★ * * Shaw said VfKIAL feels these are no longer viable reasons in light of the sociological problems the city and country are facing. “The problem of money can be solved a lot more easily than the sociological problems caused by the lack of awareness of the white community,” he said. * * * Construction of the school in the central city area wopld be possible under a federal program — Neighborhood Development Program — which could draw federal funds for acquisition of property, relocation of residents and razing of buildings in the area. FIRST STEP TAKEN Pontiac’s City Commission this week took a first step toward a possible NDP program by authorizing a study and recommendations on an NDP area and methods to be used. The city’s planning staff likely will bring back recommendations in three to four weeks.

There will be snow flurries in extreme western Texas, southern Idaho and Utah. It will be colder throughout most of tlie nation. ’The first act drags a bit in setting up these circumstances. A woman, widowed with a son, has recently remarried. To her visiting sister, she confides that she told her new husband, the magistrate, that she was five years younger than she is, and since she had to follow through, she COTivinced everyone that her 19-year-old son is really 14. THE PLOT THICKENS Then the sister receives a note from her fiance, breaking their engagement. The magistrate gets word that an old friend, a retired colonel who knew his wife and her first husband, is in town. ’The wife sets out to intercept the colonel who is dining with his friend, the sister’s ex-fiance. With the mother gone, the son talks his stepfather into going into town with him. And so on. * * ★ Naturally, they all wind up at the same hotel, and it’s here that the farce is zestiest, with people constantly scampering in and out of hiding places, including a balcony in a pouring rain. A police raid culminates the action, with only the magistrate and son escaping. And it’s not hard to figure out which magistrate the culprits go before. * * * Having put these hapless characters through this trauma, Pinero resolves everything happily, if a bit weakly. It’s somewhat hard to believe that a 19-year-old actually thought he was 14, but this is minor compared to the coincidences that have gone before. What makes this production special is the acting. Director Douglas Seale (who al.so appears in a minor role) elicited uniformly good performances from all the players, with excellence from a few. BERRY AT HIS BEST Eric Berry, who has been consistently good through Meadow Brook’s three seasons, was at his best as the straitlaced magi.strate gone wrong, and Richard Curnock, who directed the season-opener, “The Apple Cart,” properly sniffed and kept a stiff upper lip as the unflappable colonel. ’The confrontation between these two in the courtroon^ was masterful. Other good performances were by Mary Savidge as the wife and Jeremy Rowe as her son, although in his 14-year-old pha.se, he used a strange gait which, with his too-short pants, made him look like a Charlie Chaplin imitator. Special credit goes to Chris Tliee for some elaborate and ornate sets. Oil-lamp tops over the footlights added to the period look. “The Magistrate” will continue through Dec. 29.

Hruska plans a hard campaign for the post of assistant Repubiican ieader, or party whip, in the Senate, but says he doesn’t want “a blo^y field with bodies lying around. “I am no| standing idly by. _ am seeking’ the post,” H^ska, just back from a trip abroad, toid an interviewer. RpMAN L. HRUSKA While Hruska was In Europe splitting tst week, his supporters said they already had commitments from 23 of the 42 Republican senators in the new Congress-more than enough to insure his eiection. t’s backers disagree, ing the contest is stiil wide open. The whip job was opened up by the primary defeat of California’s Thomas H. Kuchel, a liberal-moderate Republican. The oniy other announced candidate for the job is Pennsylvania’s Hugh Scott, a liberal-moderate. Scott notified his colleagues by letter that he wants the job, but other than that his campaigning has been behind the ‘We’re certainly not going to ieave a bloody field'with bodies lying around,” Hruska said in discussing the contest, have made it known to my colleagues that I aspire to it and that I hope they feel I could make the judgments the post oi whip requires. ★ * ★ Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen has indicated he would like to avoid a party- _ fight by a compromise under which Iboiska would be the assistant leader and Scott would be chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Committee, a position that will offer little more than a platform for dissent. RETIREMENT The policy committee post is due to the retirement of Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa. The two jobs wili be filled when Republican senators caucus at the opening of the new congressionai session in January. ★ ★ ★ Scott backed Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York in his unsuccessful bid for the Republican presidential nomination this year while Hruska was an early and vocal supporter of President-elect Richard M. Nix-1. Scott’s backers say they have been assured that Nixon will stay out of the fight. OTHER POSSIBILITIES | Other Republican senators! mentioned as possibilities for| the two vacant leadership posi-| tions include Karl E. Mundt of South Dakota, Robert P. Griffin of Michigan and James B. Pearson of Kansas. * ★ ★ I Hruska, 64, served one term in the House before being elect-; ed to the Senate in 1954 to fill an| unexpired term. He was re-' elected in 1958 and 1964, and comes up for reelection in 1970. He is on the influential appropriations and judiciary committees. SIMMS DISCOUNT ANNEX 144 N.

Quite a bit, according to a report by the parks and recreation commission. ★ ★ ★ Though no money from the millage became available until last April, the county in the past seven months has implemented and completed purchase of some 1,000 acres of parks land. The purchases have been part of a stated over-all plan to acquire and establish a chain of intermediate size, water-oriented, year-round recreation areas. TO ALLOW PURCHASES And with the passage Nov. 5 of a $100-million state bond Issue, the plan is expected to develop by leaps and bounds, according to Gerard Lacey, assistant director of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Passage of the bond issue will allow the county to purchase recreational land for one-quarter of its total cost, Lacey said. Another quarter will be matched by the state, while the federal government is expected to cover half the cost in its matching fund program. ★ ★ Projects must meet specifications to qualify, Lacey noted. * * ’ ★ Already under way in the recreation program, Lacey said, are four separate park areas. NEGOTIATE FOR SITE Springfield-Oaks, located near Davisburg, is comprised of 255 acres. Another eight-acre site on the opposite shore of a millpond in the area is currently under negotiation. This is the site that has been suggested as the future home of the 4-H Club. Groveland-Oaks, located on the headwaters of the Thread River, 17 miles north of Pontiac, consists of 181 acres completely encompassing Stewart Lake. It has been called one of the most popular camp sites and bathing beaches in the entire state. Waterford-Oaks consists of 110 acres of Scott Lake property. Acquisition is to be completed this year. The park is located in Waterford Township hlmost contiguous to the western city limits of Pontiac. ; Independence-Oaks is the latest endeavor of the commission. Located west of Sashabaw Road, 3>A miles northeast of Clarkston, the property is to be paid for by 1970. It includes '337 acres with a shore line on the west side of Crooked Lake. The area is considered a prime one for winter sports due to its elevation, lakes and springs. Lacey noted that the recreational purchases could douWe in the next couple of months. “We’re negotiating constantly,” he said, “and we’re buying when the price is right.” Avon Rezones Land to Allow Town-House Development HAPPY THANKSCWING — Daniel Navarro (left), cub- poniiic Prtj« Photo master of Pack 13, sponsored by Wisner School PTA, and Brewer family of Independence Township, burned out of its his son, Alfred, deliver Thanksgiving dinner to the Dillard home Nov. 20. Homeless, Woe-Stricken Brewer Family Finds Out That People Do Have Hearts AVON TOWNSHIP - The Township Board has approved a proposed zoning change to allow the construction of a 55-acre multiple dwelling and town-house development. To be located just east of the Rochester city limits between Parkdale and Romeo roads, the development is planned by Slavik Investors, a Southfield firm. The property previously was zoned for single-family residential use. ★ ★ * Also approved were t\Vo other rezoning requests. One, from Weinberger Builders Inc. of Utica, changes a 1.97-acre parcel on the southwest corner of Walton and Old Perch from single-family residential to office zoning. A medical and office building is planned for the site. The other, requested by Detroit developer Fred Birkhill, involves three lots in Avon Manor subdivision, near John R and Auburn. One lot was changed to local business use and the others to parking. PLANNING UNIT OK’D All three zoning changes had the prior approval of the township planning commission and the Oakland County Board of Supervisors coordinating, zoning and planning committee. ★ ★ The Township Board was notified that hearings have been set by the Oakland County Drain Commission on proposed drainage projects in Springhill and Brooklands subdivisions. Both areas have suffered flooding problems in recent years. ★ ★ ★ The hearing for the Springhill project is scheduled for 10 a.m. Dec. 9 at the Oakland County Courthouse with the Brooklands hearing following at 10:10. In other recent business, the board agreed to the drawing up of a contract by the Oakland County Department of Public Works for the construction of Phase I of the township’s water and sewer systems. AREAS ENCOMPASSED The sewer program encompasses 12 sections in the northwest corner of Avon, including the Sargent Creek arm of the Clinton-Oakland Interceptor, while the water program would include 26 central sections of the township. ★ ★ Ik- Cost figures for the two programs presently are being revised by the Johnson and Anderson, Inc., o f Waterford Township, engineering consultants, because of the recent addition of several areas to the plans. The board referred to the planning commission a suggested breakdown of industrial zoning classifications proposed by general business committee chairman William McCullough. The breakdown, which would divide light industrial zoning into two classes, is designed to make industrial zoQjjj^g less distasteful to residents and attract more industry to improve the township’s tax base. LIQUOR LICENSE BID The board, also gave preliminary approval to a liquor license request from Harris 0. Machus, for a restaurant to be included in a proposed shopping center-office development at Whlton and Livernois. * Final approval will be sub^ject to inspection by the township building department and the State Liquor Control Commission of the proposed restaurant when it is constructed. INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP -People do have hearts, the Dillard Brewer family, formerly of 4 622 Hillcrest, will tell you. Burned out of its home Nov,. 20 by a blaze of undetermined cause, the family, which includes six small children 7 years old and under, has moved in with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Omer Brewer at 5785 Clarkston-Orion. The house is unihabitable and Brewer is still recovering from a beating suffered at the hands of area youths earlier this month. He expects to resume his job Car Fumes Kill Woman SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Mrs. Con-, stance Furby, 42, of 53574 Dryden was pronounced dead of carbon monoxide poisoning on arrival about 1 a.m. today at Crittenton General Hospital, Avon Township. Her death was listed as an apparent suicide, according to township police. She had been found unconscious in her car, which had been left running in a closed garage at the residence. at GMC Truck and Coach Division Monday. Nevertheless, Thanksgiving Day was a pretty good one yesterday. Food, including a plump turkey, was provided through the combined efforts of Wisner School PTA-sponsored Cub Pack 13 and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Schlicht, Pontiac business people. CASH, GIFTS COLLECTED As of Wednesday, some $85 had been collected for the family along with furniture, clothing and even ice skates for the children. Mrs. Herschel Sansom of 6 4 6 1 Paramus, Clark.ston, who offered her garage as a collection agency for the family, has been amazed at the outpouring of help. Already offered are twin-bed box springs and mattresses, a set of bunk beds, a refrigerator, an electric stove, canned goods, clothing, games for the children; and even a pair of new eyeglasses to replace some burned in the fire. Mrs. Sansom said a move is underway, she understands, to provide labor to help the family rebuild its one-story frame home. BAD-LUCK HOUSE The Brewers, though, don’t know whether they want to go back to that house. It’s been bad luck for them. There were neighborhood problems which are believed responsible for Brewer’s beating, a beating so severe it required a week’s hospitalization and surgery. The house was paint-splashed with obscene words shortly before the fire, and several windows had been broken. Uninsured, the home would have been paid for in January. LOOKING FOR ANOTHER The Brewers would like to find another home in a different area, one with a low down payment that they might afford — a spacious house with room for the six small Brewers. Mrs. Sansom said she’d like to hear ideas from anyone about that. She’d like to turn this Thanksgiving seaswi into a real one for the Brewers. Safety Devices Cited as Reason State Traffic Deaths Decline Fatal traffic accidents are beginning to decrease in Michigan, and government-imposed safety devices may b e responsible. Michigan State Police report there were 2,298 deaths from automobile accidents in 1966 and 2,123 in 1967, representing the first drop in state yearly fatality rates since 1961. Automobile deaths started to climb from 1,567 in 1961 to 2.298 victims reported in 1966. The safety factors were introduced in. the Federal Highway Safety Act of September 1966, and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Act, also signed in September of that year. ORIGINAL DEVICES The seat belt, padded instrument panel, energy-absorbing steering control system and safety door latches and hinges are among the original safety devices required by the law s. OFFERS EVIDENCE Two University of .>Michigan facully members. Dr. Donald F. Huclke and Dr, Paul W. Gikas, completed a detailetl study of accident cau.sality for the U Sf Public Health Service. Division of Accident Prevention. They offer conclusive evidence supporting the value of the safety devices. To gather evidence for their report the team analyzed all fatal automobile accidents occuring in the Washtenaw County area from 1961-1965. Tlie scene of every fatal accident reported was visited. "To provide complete analysis of the accident they photographed the vehicles involved, skid marks, general area of the accident, location of individuals involved and interior views of the car. Photographs were also taken when a postmortem examination was performed on the victims. DEFINITE FACTORS Results of this study involving 139 fatal accidents in which i?7 occupants were killed consistantly revealed that there were definite vehicle mechanical or Michigan Bell Plans Children's Yule Party Christmas bells will ring for more than 1.900 boys and ^irls at the 10th annual Christmas party Michigan Bell Telephone Co, will give for the children of its Oakland County area employes Dec. 7.

Ejection from the automobile was the leading cause of fatalities, involving 27 per cent of the individuals studied. The front door or rear-panel collapsing inward on 25 per cent of the victims produced the second greatest loss of life. The steering assembly, including the steering wheel, gear shift lever and steering column, accounted for 16 per cent of the fatalities, the third leading cau.se of death. The research determined that 53 per cent or 94 of the 177 victims could have been saved had .seat and shoulder belts been in use at the time of the accident. Tlie belts would have prevented ejection of the individuals from the vehicle and-or their projection into structures within Ijw car. KEY ITEM Regarding the .steering assembly-caused deaths, the iilvestigators concluded a collapsible or energy-absorbing steering column would have reduced significantly the number of driver fatalities from steering assembly impacts. Rut, of all Ibe new structural and mechanical safety features added to the more recent car models, the researchers found that the most important item Ls tlie seat belt. Additional protection is assured with the u.se of both the .scat and , shoulder belts. Election Jan. 13 on Troy School Bond Proposal TROY — A special election for the $6.75-million bond issue for school construction projects has been set by the board of education for Jan. 13. In addition, the board will also ask school district voters to approve a five-year renewal of an 8-mill operating levy, which expires on Dec. 31. ★ * ★ Approval for the election must be granted by the Michigan Municipal Finance Commission. The date for the special election Was set over the objections of three board members, Harold A. Janes, Leonard P. Lucas and James M. McFarland. They sought to hold off the setting of a date until after the release of the state attorney general’s report on charges of the alleged mismanagement of the schools’ 1965 and 1966 building site funds. AUTHORIZATION NEEDED Supt. Rex B. Smith told the board he did not know when the report would be released. The board appeared before the attorney general in Lansing on Oct. 30 for a conference on the charges. The schools’ architects had advised the board that authorization for the election was necessary as soon as possible in order to open bids in time to start construction at the end of this .school year. Proposed under the bond i.ssue are a new west side elementary school, additions at Hill and Union elementary schools. Troy High School, and Baker and Smith junior highs and remodeling at Big Beaver and Poppleton elementary schools. The i.ssue may also include funds for planning and design of a future high school and a future third junior high school.

The board of education adopted a resolution calling for the election at its regular meeting Wednesday. ★ * * Schools Supt. Lewis Mundy said he thought the renewal would be approved without difficulty, despite the fact that voters rejected two board requests for increased millage earlier this year. A citizens’ committee to study the millage nee^is of the district recently was reactivated, with Richard Young, 2810 Indian Lake, chairman. A MATTER OF TIME At the time of reactivation of the committee, board members said it would be only a matter of time until additional millage will have to be sought again. * * ★ In June, voters turned down a 6.25-mill increa.se which would have allotted 3.5 mills for operating expenses and 2.75 mills for a building program. A second attempt to obtain the 3.5 additional mills in August also was defeated. * * ★ In other busine.ss, the board approved a proposed plan for administration of the intermediate school during, the illness of Principal Harlan Johnson. TEACHER TAKES OVER A teacher, Mrs. Barbara Berthiaume, will assume the principal’s duties on a temporary basis, Munday said.

Abortion Laws Bending With the Times Abortion liberalization proposals will come before legislatures in more than a dozen states in 1969. A commission appointed by Gov. Richard J. Hughes has held open hearings on modifying the 119-year-old abor-\lion statute in New Jersey. The ^urce for much of this information is\the Association for the Study of Abortion which recently held a four-day international conference in Hot Springs, 'Va. In the past year or two, abortion statutes have been modified in Mississippi, Georgia, Colorado, California, North Carolina, and Maryland. A reform was defeated in New York state at the 1968 session of the legislature. Actual repeal of anti-abortion laws next year is contemplated in several states. Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau advocates liber- Automation Not the Ogre Meany Foresaw “Automation is a curse to society” that could lead to national catastrophe, AFLrCIO President George Meany told his organization at its convention in New York five years ago. He said that technologists foresaw the day a few years hence when all the Nation’s products would be furnished by less than 25 per cent of its manpower. Automation has come, but w^ithout the mass joblessness that was then being predicted. Unemployment last month was down to 3.6 per cent of the Nation’s work force; five years earlier, when Meany spoke, it stood at 5.7 per cent. A presidential commission reported in 1965 tllat technological changes might sometimes hurt individuals but were unlikely to affect adversely the overall economic and employment climate. That thesis has been borne out. Some economists now are saying that the incoming President must trim spending in 1969, even at the expense of jobs, to avoid runaway inflation. If their advice is, heeded, the old 1963 arguments over automation are likely to be replayed. Espionage Is Commonplace Nowadays By LEON DENNEN NEA Foreign News Analyst NEW YORK - Spies are in the news again. The current series of espionage cases and epidemic of mysterious tiurders and suicides in West Cfermany are another reminder that Russia’s net of secret agents has grown to mammoth proportions. Technology has created unprecedented possibilities toe espionage. But even in the age of electronics, conipulcis and s p y - s a t e 11 i t e s, no replacement has yet been found for the man who, for idealistic or purely mercenary reasons, continues to |)ly the hazardous cloak - and - dagger trade. •k * * In fact, like tax evasion, espionage is almost becoming a gentleman’s crime Sweden’s Col. Wennerstrom. who spied for Moscow, and Ru.ssia’s Col. Oleg Penkovsky. who performed similar chores for the United States, were highly respected oflicers and members of Ihcir countries' Until a month before his mysterious murder he was deputy chief of logistics at NATO’s supreme military headquarters in Europe. Luedke knew the .secret location of NATO’s 16,000 nuclear warheads. And he not onl> knew but largely decided the location of NATO's food and ammunition dumps, spare parts and other logistical resources that would hack up the Wc.sfs forces in war. Since there is hardly any doubt that the admiral was a Soviet spy, there is not much about the military layout of the Western defense system that the Russians do not know. FIVE SUICIDES Luerike's murder was ()receded and followed by the suicide ot five West (ierman federal employes, including the deputy chief ot Bonn’s intelligence Kv I’zechoslo IcHigence ak responsible for the current inten.slfied hunt for the Kremlin’s secret agents in the West. No doubt, divided Germany is a particularly happy hunting ground for Communist spies. East and West Germans speak the same language and are generally undistinguishable. About 20 million West Germans have relatives in the east and some of them are blackmailed into spying for Russia. .■),00« AGENTS It is estimated that the Communists have about 5,000 agents operating in the Bonn Federal Republic. Helmut Schmidt, the Social 1) e mocratic parliamentary leader, complained recently that West Germany has became an “El Dorado" for spies. But, after Britain’s archlraitor, Kim F’hilby, it is no Use pointing a finger at West Germany alone. There are undetected and highly placed s])ies in every defense organization in the world. Visions Of Sugar Plums- David Lawrence Says: alization of that country’s abortion laws. A report of the British Ministry of Health shows that under the 1967 reform act, for a nine-week period from last April 27 to June 30, some 4,412 abortions had been carried out legally in England and Wales. But The Economist of London comments: “The new Act does not seem to have made abortion more generally available, for there is a considerable variation in the rate among the different hospital regions. . . . Perhaps as has happened elsewhere. a more liberal abortion law persuades a new class of women to ask for one. because it is now more respectable to do so. but makes little impact on those who resort to the back streets.” Thus do social and legal taboos bend with the times.

HOPP 2945 OAKLAND OAKS LAKE ORION ‘Unfair of Central to Take School Bell Regarding the taking of our school bell by Pontiac Central, it is unfair to the kids at Northern, as well as to the coaches, that we should pay the ransom or whatever money they want for the return of our bell. Northern could not take anything from Central because it was hid. We took care of their chief last year so, in turn, they should take care of our things that they borrow for fun. A PONTIAC NORTHERN STUDENT Letter Refers to Editorial Regarding M59 Your recent editorial pointing up the impossible condition of M59 and other major county roads is to be commended, with one notable exception. You have publicly exhorted Mr. Staman to produce miracles. This is a bit inconsistent with your lead editorial of Sept. 24 when yo.i .-'.-ted tliat the county budgets no tax revenue for the road commission and suggested that it is time for the road commissiem to become a real part of the county government and be included in its budget. WASHINGTON - Since the American people have been hearing a good deal in recent months about the way justices are chosen for the U.S. Supreme Court, there is likely to be a re-examination of the process by whichthe members of LAWRENCE the high court are selected. It is surprising that the demand for reform has been given so little attention up to now. Presidents have nominated personal friends or former colleagues or individuals who have played a conspicuous part in political campaigns, and appointments to the Supreme Court have come to be treated just like those for any other federal office— as political plums. Sen. Sam J. Ervin, D-N.C., who himself served on the highest court of his own state, has proposed that future justices of the U.S. Supreme Court be nominated from a list prepared by a conference of the presiding judge of each of the 50 state Supreme Courts and the chief judge of each of the nine federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. He has written all members of Congress declaring that he plans to introduce a constitutional amendment to bring about such a modification because the justices are “being allowed, with increasing frequency, to seriously change the economic, social, and po-litial direction of our nation.’’ CONFERENCE OF JUDGES Ervin’s idea is that, when a vacancy occurs on the Supreme court, the national conference of judges would submit five names to the president, and he would be limited to that group in the making of his appointment, which would be, as is customary, subject to Senate confirmation. Ervin expressed the view that this procedure would “make il as certain as [lossi-blo that members of the Supreme Courl will not be chosen on the basis of personal friendship wilh the president, political service rendered to the political party in power, or past association with politically potent groups” goes along with the appointment and rarely is there a controversy raised. If there is dissent, it is usually because of a belief that the nominee has a particular philosophy or ideology which he is likely to follow in making decisions. ' Unquestionably public opin- ion would favor objective treatment of constitutional provisions and the established precedents. If these fail to meet the needs of changing times, the Constitution can always be amended by the people, as provi^d by the founding fathers.

MOTHERS OF PONTIAC TOWNSHIP Question and Answer I.S it true that il you wear your hair behind your ears constantly, your ears wUl start to stick out? My mother said it's true, but I’d like to get the real truth. KAREN REPLY Mother usually knoios best, but . . . we talked to two doctors who specialize in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Carlisle, and another who preferred to be anonymous, both said absolutely no. Dr. Anonymous gave a rather amusing and very convincing analogy—he said every night we sleep on our ears and every morning they pop right back out where they were before. Since the head is much heavier than the hair, danger of protruding ears from heavy hair is non-existent. Question and Answer What has happened to the birds in this area? We’ve always seen them around whenever we looked out, but now we may go days without seeing one. Squirrels are scarce, too. What can we do to bring them back? MRS. E. L. REPIY The main reason for their scarcity seems to be pesticides containing DDT and hydro-carbons. Mr. Green, game biologist for Michigan Conservation, says these two types of pesticides don’t break down in the soil, but continue to build up to very lethal doses: He says the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, etc., loill come back by themselves in time if use of such pesticides toere discontinued. Malathion and Methoxaclor are two pesticides he suggested as replacements. While direct contact with either would be lethal to birds and small animals, they both break down readily in soil and eliminate the more serious problem of build-up.

Memphis Gels Sinking Feeling It's Not of Immediate Worry, Says Official MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -Memphis may start sinking into a hole by the side of the Missis-! sippi River some day, but there’s no need for the town-, folks to start thinking about' fleeing to higher ground. Any sinking that occurs will be so gradual it will be measured on a special instrument to be installed next month. ★ ★ ★ James H. Criner, hydrologist frt charge of the water resources division of the U.S. Geological survey here, said Thursday the town may start sinking soon because of the rate water is being pumped out from the ground beneath it. “I’m convinced that surface sinking is coming,” he said. “It may be 50 years from now, but it is coming.” WEAKER FOUNDATIONS Memphis pumps its water— which it boasts is the best in the country—from a huge layer of sand about 500 feet beneath the surface. As the water is removed, Criner said, the sands take up less room, and the city’s foundation is weakened. Last year about 64 billion gallons were pumped out. and Criner spid he doesn’t think there would be any problem except the city is increasing its water usage by 1.8 billion gallons each year. “It isn’t a serious problem, but it could be,” he said. “In Houston, the surface has sunk as much as four feet in some places. There are places in California’s Great Central Valley that are subsiding at a rate as high as one foot a year.” The Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division will begin drilling Dec. 2 a 1,400-foot well which the geological survey will use for its measuring device.

The 78-year-old Washburn, professor emeritus of educaticp at Michigan State University, was a prolific writer, and his latest book, “Windows to Understanding..Thoughts on Science, Map and God” was published last Nov. 8. ★ ★ ★ Dr. Washburn won national recognition in the 1920s for his development of the so-called Winnetka plan, the idea that education of children should be tailored to the child’s own best - rate. He vigorously opposed the educational theory that children should be lockstepped into a; class in which all had to keep up at a certain learning pace, regardless of educational potential. He developed the theory during his 25 years as superintendent of schools at Winnetka, 111. CALIFORNIA-EDUCATED A native of Chicago, Dr. Washburn was educated at Stanford University and the University of California. He taught in California public j schools and at San Francisco] State College from 1914 to 1919 when he went to Winnetka. He wrote more than a score of books, the best-known of which was “A Living Philosophy of Education,” published in 1940. His writing and research was devoted to pursuit of the theory that differences in children’s educational potential should be recognized at all levels of schools. * ★ ★ When the U. S. entered World War II, he became a major in the Air Force. As Allied armies regained control of Italy, Dr. Washburn was given the task of reopening schools and universities and ridding them of Fascist influences. After the war, he was assigned to northern Italy as director of the United States In-fonnation Service from 1946 to 1948. He later served on the faculty of Brooklyn (N.Y.) College before joining the Michigan State faculty in 1961. He was an active member through 1962 and then became a visiting lecturer with the rank of professor emeritus.

ANSWER: Modem oceanographic research has given us much more knowledge of life below the sea surface than we had before. Students of ocean depths speak of three realms. The surface realm goes down to 600 feet. Here you might find the floating seaweed called sargasso, and many fish, a few of which we illustrate. In the middle realm, from 600 to 9,000 feet, the Ught which filters down from above dies out completely. At that depth, Uiere are no more plants and the water pressure is so great that only a few animats can Bve, such as the huge sperm whale and giant squid in our picture. Further down lies the once unknown bottom realm, from 9,000 to as low as 30,000 feet or more. Here is eternal cold and eternal blackness. How could life possibly exist down here? Yet it does; scientists have probed this realm with diving ships. A few strange bttle fish are able to Uve, giving their own light. Certain plant-like animals and a strange walking fish are found on the actual bottom. Nowadays, scientists believe that life can and does exist in all depths of the sea.

Candy Sale On at Stevenson By GALE NELSON Eating candy during class isn’t against the rules this week at Stevenson High School. An all-school candy sale is in progress to give each club and organization the opportunity to make extra money. The Washington (class trip) Club is the only organization in which each individual is earning money for him.sclf. Ten cents is earned from each $1 box sold and 5 cents from each 50-cent bar. The total sum earned by each member goes against the cost of the trip, $127. Any member selling 100 cases (1200 boxes) of candy automatically earns a free trip.

Additional School News on Page B-2 It all started late in September when Trudy Marquardt’s sixth-hour creative writing class went on a field trip to the Detroit Zoo. The students captured the animals in descriptive literary form and turned their impressions over to the art classes. Art students, in turn, made a couple of visits to the zoo, taking notes on their observations from an artistic point of view. ★ ★ * The result was the array of zoo animal-inspired projects that was ready for display on the recent Groves’ annual Parent’s Night. ★ ★ ★ Some paintings and wall hangings were put up in school hallways, but predominantly observed were the large figures of various zoo creatures, products of the three dimensional design class. SOME EXAMPLES An ape with a harry-appearing hide was created by Larry Meyers, a peacock by Sue Heidel and a joint-effort rhinoceros was constructed by Chuck Adams and Paul Kawaga. Sue Van-Lopik’s project was a giant turtle and Diane Souder designed a minizebra. Some of the structures displayed already have been sold. The remaining pieces will be donated to Birmingham elementary school libraries. ★ ★ * “It was a most impressive and interesting display,” said a parent who observed the exhibit during the open house. “I thought that it was terrific for high schol work.” ★ * ★ The art department has also scheduled a sale, featuring student-made work. Dec. 11 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. In the lounge. AMONG ITEMS AVAH.ABLE Student art pieces such as paintings, scuplture, jewelry and items made through the use of macrame, a technique of knotting yam or twine to form clothing,/ belts or purses, will be available to the public for purchase. ★ ★ ★ Proceeds will provide funds for much-needed art hand tools and money for the student artist’s profit. * ★ * Mrs. Fred Woell and George Landino, are the art department instructors. Mrs. Woell commented, “We hope that soon we will be given permission to use the lounge as a permanent gallery area.” Tonight, the Grover chapter o f .American Field Services will sponsor a pancake supper in the cafeteria, from 5 p.m. on. BASKETBALL, SWIMMING After the supper there will be a home basketball game against Seaholm and a swim meet with Southfield. Pancake supper prices are 75 cents for children, $1 for students and $1.50 for adults. Tickets will be sold at the door' “The organization and publicity of this event showed a lot of cooperation between students and parents,” said AFS secretary Sue Dickson. “We both think that bringing foreign students to study at Groves is important, and the pancake supper is a joint effort of the adult and student chapters of the AFS,” ★ ★ ★ Other club officers are Peggy Maass, president; Sue VanLopik, vice president; and Kathy McNabb, treasurer. At Troy High Junior Joins Choir By LUANNE GREENSTEIN Steve Keller, a junior at Troy High .School, is a new addition to Troy’s concert choir. ★ * * Last year, Steve attended t h e Palistrina Institute of Music, a private school in Detroit. He took cla.sses in music history, theory, voice, piano and clioir. Steve attended F'erndale High last year. In addition to the concert choir, which Steve hopes to repeat next year, he is an active member of the Vivace Club and Troy’s wrestling team. Outside of school Steve doesn’t do much with music, but does admit that ha “goofs around with the piano.” HAPPY AT TROY He likes Troy High better than Fcrndale, adding that the modular scheduling is great because it leaves time for more classes, whore at Ferndale the maximum amount is six. Steve feels school spirit at Troy is good, and he also believes that Clyde D. Pctcr.son, principal of Troy, really cares about what's going on. Steve plans to continue his music through college and possibly teach it after he graduates. Troy Songster Steve Keller Is In The Mood “B—2 THE PONTIAC PRESS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1968 Holly Exchange Student Bart Das Shows His Countr/s Colors His First White Christmas? By MARCIA CLARK This Christmas may be the first white Christmas ever seen by Bart Das, Holly High School’s exchange student from Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Bart, son of a Dutch interior decorator. Is now living with the Robert P. Long-streth family of Riviera Shores Drive, Holly Township. Bart has a sister Marty, and a brother Peter in South Africa. His American brothers and sisters total five — Linda, Larry , Lane, Leslie and Lee. “America was very much like I expected it to be, but then I was lucky. My next-door neighbors had lived in Flint for a few years and returned just six months before I left,’’ said Bart. HOLLY IS LARGER “Holly was also larger than I expected. Everyone told me how tiny it was so I compared it to the town I lived in previously, Redhruse, with a population of approximately 500.” “I was also better-prepared for life in the United States since I l^ave studied English since grade school,” said Bart. The curriculum in the South African schools Is much more confined than It Is here. Major fields of study are chosen in the fifth or sixth grade and followed through high school. In this way, students get a more advanced education in their chosen field. Yet they do not get a chance to dabble in many fields. SCHOOL YEAR VARIES The school year also is longer in South Africa. School usually starts around Jan. 20 and runs until Dec. 10. But quite long vacations of two or three weeks are given at Easter and in the winter (which is our summer). The school day begins at 8:30 a m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. with a 45-minute break for lunch. ★ ★ ★ ' “The teacher-student relationship Is more casual here than in South Africa. It seems that the whole educational system is more formal in South Africa,” remarked Bart. “My family has always traveled a great deal so they were all for my com- Thanksgiving Holi(% specials Cv Luxurious Cashmere-and-Mink Outercoats 99 >85 Fine cashmere blended with mink fur —soft and supple.

I hadn’t gotten used to the traffic yet. We drive on the other side of the road you know.’’ ★ ★ ★ “Also the first day in New York City they served us pancakes and heavy syrup for breakfast.

'Ho-Hum' Baffle Cry Voiced by Some 48 Million Napocrafs By PATRICIA McCORMACK NEW YORK (UPI) — What this nation needs in the presidential cabinet is a secretary of apathy. In this high place in government he would speak for the estimated 48 million Americans who did not vote in the recent presidential election. That’s around 40 per cent of the ellgibles. The apathetics need, in addition, an organization. Call it the National Apathetic party (NAP). Call the members Napocrats. Whether they like It or not, these males and females ought to have their needs considered at lawmaking time. IN A CRUNCH Even though they sit on their hands most of the time while all about them are in a crunch, Napocrats contribute some things to the nation’s interest. Offo Mielkes Will Be Honor Guests Sunday Former Pontiac residents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Mielke of Lewiston, will be feted Sunday at the Metropolitan Club of Pontiac in celebration of their golden wedding anniversary.

Wmm THE PONTIAC PRESS FRIDAY, NOVjp:.MBKR 29, 49GH These two swingers, both secretaries in the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, got sidetracked while Christmas shopping on their lunch hour. From left, Carol Butz of Paramus Street, White Lake Township, and Jackie Taylor of Pontiac Lake Road, can't resist a few steps as they hunt the latest sounds for gift-giving. Stylish Shoppers Crowding Area Centers By JEANNE NELSON Today, tra(iitionally, is the real beginning of that great American institution — Christmas shopping. From now until the last store closes on Christmas Eve, it’ll be shop, shop, shop. For the moment at least, there seems to be a definite swing towards shopping “in style.’’ As the days dwindle down, there may well be a switch to less emphasis on fashion. But in the meantime, area shoppers are looking chic indeed. ★ ★ * It’s easy to see the pant suit, in one form or another, is a favorite. It’s no surprise, of course, since it’s so versatile. Lightweight jackets make roaming around crowded aisles much less troublesome than does wearing a heavy coat. Then too, there’s the added advantage of comfort in those low, squatty shoes that are perfect go-togethers for an outfit of this kind. Hats are few and far between, but fur toques are the winners for shoppers whq wear them. ’Those new walking suits adapt well to gift-hunting as long as they’re light enough to wear as temperatures rise. One can visualize how these longer jackets could be used to play a different role; perhaps over an odd pair of slacks or even topping a knit sheath. If fabrics and colors harmonize, why not? MATRON’S TASTE One silver-haired customer at The Pontiac Mall was looking especially smart in a soft grey wool ensemble with a touch of black velvet at neckline and cuffs. Her accessories and earrings were also black. 'The higher the boots, the shorter the skirt seems the rule of the swinging, youthful shoppers (some aren’t quite as young as they should be for this). While they look in tune with the times, it doesn’t appear to be the most practical outfit for this purpose. Those wonderful two and three piece knits are making the Christmas shopping scene in abundance. And what a carefree, handsome look they have about them! This year’s color combinations are more attractive than ever. * ★ ★ The influence on fashion that the enclosed shopping center has created is becoming more and more apparent. It’s no longer practical to think about just throwing on a coat over any old housedress for a day's shopping. The outdoor coat is practically nonexistent with the convenience of close parking and rental lockers. Can't Manage Others' Lives, Columnist Says By ELIZABETH L. POST Dear Mrs. Post; We rented our house on the shore to a couple for two months this summer, and when they left, they commented bitterly that the late-hour uproar next door every night kept them from getting any sleep. I confirmed this during a ten-day stay at this house. One night by midnight, 1 phoned the police. The police arrived just in time to catch two boys climbing in the upstairs bedroom window, clad only in a towel. ■k * -k 1 then phoned the girl’s parents and told them the full details. The mother told me she had not known about it and assured me she would put a stop to it. it it ^ The following weekend, when the parents came to town, the place had been cleaned up and the daughter had a slick story prepared, backed up by her companions, which the mother swallowed. She brought the “youngsters” over and I was raked over toe coals for making any complaint about the kids having a good time. ★ ★ ★ The uproar has subsided to the point where I have no further complaint. How do you think I should have handled this situation, other than as I did?—Mr. A. R. k k k Dear Mr. R.: 'There is only one other thing you could, and should, have done. You should have talked to the girl herself. While you had no right to criticize her morals, you had every right to complain about the noise. Unfortunately, some parents are only too willing to shrug off criticism of their children, and if you voiced your complaints in a civilized way, the parents were wrong in not checking on your story. ★ * ♦ But none of us can manage the personal lives of our neighbors, and as long as their actions do not harm us in any way, there is little we can do to force them to change their ways. Keep Up Your Behavior for Own Peace of Mind Consider what they do when they utter their battle cry: “Ho-hum.” They help keep America quiet and this reduces damage from noise pollution. They also cooperate when police are worried about crowds getting out of hand. They stay home. It’s not fair to say the Napocrats never get aroused. When they don’t like the size of tax deductions from their paychecks or when they consider social security payments too small, they usually say: “Why doesn’t someone do something about this.” The apathetic Napocrat at such a time is told to write his or her congressman or senator. CAN’T IDENTIFY The Napocrat might, but he doesn’t know which congressman or senator represents him. Not having voted, the Napocrat can’t identify with a legislator. Napocrats also have been heard to say: “I don’t know what this country is coming to. A person can watch Sbmeone getting mugged or killed and not call the police. “The children are disrespectful and don’t obey laws. There is graft in high places. Things are in a terrible mess and no one cares.” If the apathetic Napocrats think they don’t have something to gain by uniting, they ought to consider that voting as a block they might even get their man into toe White House. Political pundits probably would call it a sleeper. The candidate’s name most likely would be Rip Van Winkle something-or-other.

By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I am not a mixed-up teen-ager, I am 24 years old, and I have been around the track a few times. When I was 18 I got involved with a married man and ended up with a baby and no husband. After that, whenever I dated a guy he took it for granted that I was easy, and I had a fight on my hands. Men think that because a girl made one mistake she has nothing to lose. When I make it plain that I intend to behave myself, they think I am putting on an act. How is a girl who has learned her lesson and reformed supposed to act on a date? GIRL WITH A PAST ★ ★ ★ DEAR GIRL: She Is supposed to act like a lady, and after she has acted that way consistently, she will convince one and all that she is sincere. And if she loses the man, she can consider herself lucky because she’ll know he wasn’t looking for a respectable girl. And by the way, it’s easier to live down a “past” if you change pastures. ★ * * DEAR ABBY; My husband is so hard to get up in the morning, I just don’t know what to do. Once he’s up, he’s truly ambitious and hard-working, but it’s getting him out of bed that’s a chore. If I call him more than once. I’m “nagging” him, and I don’t like to start the day off with a fight. If I call him only once, he turns over and goes back to sleep. He’s constantly late for work, which looks bad on his record. His mother said she had the same trouble with him before he was married. We’ve been married for three years and I do love him. How can'I make him realize that the early bird gets (he worm? BEAT IN BALTIMORE DEAR BEAT: Maybe he’s not crazy about worms, but if he likes butter on his bread, he’d better wake up (literally, that Is). If he continues to be late for work, better get yourself a job. You"!! need it. DEAR ABBY: My daughter-in-law calls me “Grandmaw” and I don’t like it one bit. Before her baby came she didn’t call me anything. Just nothing at all. When she wanted my attention she would say, “Hey!” When my grandson calls m e “Grandmaw,” I love it. I’m only 43, but it’s one thing to have your own grandchild who is three years old call you “Grandmaw” and something else to be called that by a 25-year-oId girl. How can I let her know that I am not HER Grandmaw and I wish she would quit calling me that? MOTHER-IN-LAW k k k DEAR MOTHER: How about just telling her? * * * DEAR ABBY: I’ve read you for many years but this is the first time I’ve written. I’ve been a social worker for nearly 40 years. Since you first appeared, I've kept tabs on your batting Queen Elizabeth II of England, wearing a woolen hat with a large tas'sel, arrives at headquarters of the Order of St. John in London Thursday. average, and it’s better than most trained social workers I know. I have a gripe, however. When some of your self-righteous women complain of “dirty old men,” you seem to accept the terminology. You never mention “dirty young women,” however. I am a consultant in a nursing home in which there are many elderly men, and I haven’t seen a “dirty” one yet. But I see a lot of “dirty” young women on the streets every day. ★ ★ ★ By “dirty” the critical women include all older men who have an interest in sex. If “sex” is “dirty” then every normal person must be dirty. For a woman to complain because her husband looks at a waitress and other cute things Is laughable. Why shouldn’t he look? Some young women dress to attract the attention of men. This is natural and I don’t censure them for It. But modern styles (and cosmetics) provoke sexual thoughts and desires of men of any age. So if this is “dirty,” then the sweet young provokers must also be dirty. I don’t think so, I think they are normal, and so are the men who look. The only “dirtiness” is in the nasty minds of some women who can no longer attract attention. This is rank hypoc- risy. AN ASeW k k -k DEAR ABBY: Here is toe scene. A man goes fishing and brings home a good catch. Everybody in the family loves fish. I say the wife should clean them. Chuck, my kooky buddy, says I’m crazy — not one wife in a hundred cleans fish anymore. I say he’s crazy. So who’s crazy? TOM M DEAR TOM: The wife who cleans fish. ★ * i CONFIDENTIAL TO R. E. F.

I would like to make some for Christinas gifts but hesitate because I don’t know if they are worthwhile. Mrs. BevM. Dear Mrs. Martin, When this idea was tried out; the hairdo seemed to hold much longer because the very smooth surface of the satin kept the hair from getting pulled out of shape as it did on cotton pillow slips. ★ ★ ★ I think they would make excellent gifts and if you really want to give a lovely gift, I would recommend the beautiful satin smooth kind of imported polyester fabric that requires absolutely no ironing.

Most were SEW SIMPLE By Eunice Farmer TAILOR TRIX WINNER Mrs. J. H. Thaden, Pardeeville, Wis., Is this week’s Tailor Trix pressing board winner for her sewing tip. “When I make draperies, I finish all but the hems before hanging them. After a few days, I mark the bottom at the desired length. Then I place the Ironing board beside the window and press and pin the hems. This allows a perfect chance to check the straightness without extra handling. “If I intend to hem them by machine, and this is often permissible depending on the fabric, I move the machine to the windows and do the sewing while the draperies are in place. Obviously, the same thing can be done with hand hemming. This sure saves extra handling and above all, extra pressing.” ★ ★ ★ (Sure wish I had thought of this great idea years ago when I was making draperies for a 26-foot wall. It took three men and a boy, as the old saying goes, to get them up, only to find they weren’t even and down they would come again. I’m sure with the popularity of large walls and windows covered In draperies, this tip will save lots of extra work and will save dispositions.) Michigan Girl Is Semifihalist FORT WORTH, Tex.
