The mailbox says: St, Johns Horse Auction, Ashley, Michigan,

The telephone book lists a Pompeii telephone number for the St.. Johns Horse Auction.

The name of the business, which is the largest of its kind in a'seven state area, is the ST. JOHNS Horse Auction.

Confusing? Maybe, but not for the several hundred "cowboys" who frequent the bi-monthly horse auctions held at the St. Johns Horse Auction located just south of the Maple River off US-27 in Gratiot County.

"People come from Canada, New York, Ohio. Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, to mention a few,'' says Pat Reck who, with her husb,and, Tom, own and manage the horse auction.

Every first and third Saturdays of the month (excluding the 4th of July), there is a horse auction on the Reek's property. Horse dealers, amateur riders and families looking for a horse for a son or daughter are among the many visitors who can be seen inspecting the horse stalls before the auction early Saturday morning.

"We have between 100 and 200 families at a PAT RECK prepares for weekly horse auction.

sale," says'Pat who is the spokesman for the Auction, while her husband tends to the horses. "There are about 125 permanent buyers or licensed dealers and everybody who comes to buy gets a buyer's number."

The horse equipment auction begins at 11 a.m. and the horses' auction begins about 1 p.m. A special barn with bleachers on both sides and an auctioneer's podium on one wall characterize the auction. This area is known as the "sale ring."

Between 250 and 375 horses may be auctioned off during the sale. About 90 per cent of the horses are sold on consignment basis, and according to Pat, spring is the top, time for horse trading.

In the spring, 4-H youngsters are looking for a horse they can groom and enter contests with. The' adventuresome are looking for contest horses-horses that will compete in barrel racing and run cloverleaf patterns and the like.

Dealers are looking for horses to sell or rent to summer camps such as YMCA camps for children. One exclusive camp in New York travels all the way to the St. Johns Horse Auction to purchase its horses.

Men from the race tracks look for "pony" horses that will "pony" or escort their racers to and from * the track. English riding academies and hunt and 'jump clubs look for horses for their establishment.

Ranches look for horses for children and adults to ride and rodeo representatives want to buy horses for their annual rodeos, bucking horses.or hazing horses, i

Of course, some people come to the St. Johns Horse Auction to purchase a work horse. Pat and' Tom have sold a couple work horses to the Amish near Stanton.

As Pat puts it more simply, "We have every' kind."

INTEREST PICKING UP Eight years ago, the Reek's took over the' St.

Johns Horse Auction and they have made it what it is today. When they started-the business, about 50 per cent of the horses sold were their horses. Now about 90 per cent of the horses are sold on con­signment.

Pat says as interest in horses is picking up, so, (See Page 16)

Much is being said these days about the quality of education children are r eceiving in our public school systems. v

Michigan State University has announced special courses will be offered to freshmen students to pre pa re them for college level courses-because they are not being well enough prepared in high school.

It is almost amazing to us, when interviewing university journalism gra diates, to learn manycannotspelland others haven't the abilityto construct a readable sentence.

To blame colleges and universities would be unfair. Their job is "to direct thes tudent in utilizing those basics that should have been learned from kindergarten thrcugh high school.

We near that it is less important for a student to spell a nd write correctly thai it is to "communicate."

If that is true, we will ultimately have a nation of people who "communicate" in then-own individual language and we'll just have to guess what the other pens on is trying to say or write. •

If our educators feel it is not imp ortantfor students to h ave the discipline to le a- n how to spell and write correctly, how will they approach other subjects?

Is there a "well, that's close enough" in chemistry or physics? In the past, English teachers would be ashamed to pass onto the nextgra de s tudentswho

had no command of spelling or grammar. Today, itseems to be amatterof little importance. If the trend continues, today's students will be tomorrow's teachers and there won't be

anybody alive capable of teaching a decent Englishcourse. -Jim Edwards

July 16,1936 40 years ago

Damage amounting to several thousand dollars was' the toll taken by cyclonic-winds that hit the countryside over an 8-mile area near the west county line in the vicinity of Hubbardston Tuesday afternoon. Barns, silos and other farm buildings took the runt of the blow while orchards also suffered considerably. It was the worst cyclone the community has experienced, since 1910.

Heat Prostration caused the death Monday of Miner M. Frink, 81-year-old St. Johns man, who was found dead late that afternoon in his room over the CurroH grocery store on North

.Clinton avenue where he had lived alone the past few years.

Rain Tuesday ended the*" longest hot spell ever recorded in Clinton County. For eight blistering days and seven sleepless nights folks hereabouts sweltered through an unprecendented heat wave that took its toll of animal and human life and threatened to seriously damage crops.

This may be the era, to paraphrase a popular soft drink commercial, of the "un-politidan."

Jimmy Carter says his lack of experience in Washington is actually an advantage because he hasn't been blemished by the D.C. political bureaucracy. He even believes, we are told, in moral decency.

Gov. Brown of California cast asfde the governor's mansion in favor of an apartment and admits to being bored by much of the political hoopla.

Michigan's Don Riegle has long been known as a maverick whose actions have stuck in the craw of many veteran politicians.

But, to be sure, Carter, Brown, Riegle and a few here and' there like them have had to play the political game to achieve their present status.

Yet, they appeal to the clamor of the past few years for leaders who stand outside, at at least are leaning out', of the stereo­type political mold.

An oft-heard cry is "once he's elected, hell be just like

the rest." In more cases than not, it is a justified cry all too, often proven true.

Have we reached an era in which office seekers, if elected, will avoid the plush trappings of political prestige and resist participating in the game playing of politcs?

It's a refreshing and hpeful thought, but don't hold your breath.

A l t h o u g h t h e Congressional seniority system took it on the chin a while ago from some young upstarts, don't expect the intricate wheeling and dealing to roll to a halt. There are still those srhoke filled rooms.

After so many years of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back" government, it will take a remarkable person indeed to buck the system and record accomplishements at the same time.

It would seem logical that our leaders in Washington D.C. would sense the feeling in the hinterlands moaning that government is costing the taxpayer too much.

Complaining about the high cost of government has

gone on for years, but 'flie private citizen complained about it in a '^pain in the neck." sense.

It has surprassed the "pain in the neck" stage and no end is in sight. The present political system perpetuates itself and increases annually, the -cost of government.

If un-politicians are' the way to buck the sytem that unloads our wallets, let's let them have a go at it.

But, keep in mind, that's a big "if." "

Actually, thereare2 "ifs". The first being "if" the unpolitican is the answer, to buck the system and second being "if" the un*polltican Will fulfill and is capable of fulfilling his un-politician promises.

Regardless if our office-seekers and office-holders take on new images- and operate in different styles, come election campaign time, we'll still have the "he didn't do this- yes I did" rhetoric.

And, whom do • you believe?

Frustrating isn't it£

dear editor Dear Editor: >

Now that our glorious 4th of July is past and we are now starting our third century, r thought it interesting to recall other celebrations of yesteryear.

As a child, I lived a mile from Bannister,Mich, and always celebrated the 4th of July. Some years,we also went to Elsie where they had an organized band. For a few cents we could buy all the

' fire crackers we wished. The men cranked the ice cream freezers.

Ice came from the Maple River. Lemon dade was our only soft drink. It could also be cooled with a chunk of ice as it was crystal clear. They saidit was all right to use as the germs "were frozen out.

I altyay^reh^ehlber one"' 4th that was about 1903. The , evening before "Ike" Smith's bovs and their hired man went out to the old swimming hole in the Maple River which flowed past the back of their farm. The hired man drowned. That did not dampen the 4th so his body wasputinDr. Patton's office until after the celebration. Of course, being achild, I was not very interested so never did hear the particulars.

At the break of day, 4 th of July, the celebration began. No one could sleep with so much noise, of course. Everyone could have a flag, it cost only pennies anyway. There was a horse race and ball game. Some merchants set up stands outside I imagine Joe Baird, the saloork keeper had lots of customers.. I ' did not see anyone drunk. Women never visited saloons so I don't know.

No celebration was complete without a balloon ascension and perhaps a turkey shoot for the men. One year, a pig complete with harness and his own parchute went up with the balloon." •*"• ' •"*• « 1 ?"* """haW1" '"'always remembered how ftie.lpoor pig cried 'as he left the ground. One remarked "That's all a pig is worth."

A local boy by the name of Carles Kalor made several successful flights with his balloon. In another city, his balloon caught in a high line and he was killed instantly.

If there ever was a program with prayers, singing the Star Spangled Banner OF-America, I never

did hear of it. Of course, I did not at the time miss such patriotism. There were a(few boys in blue living then so it seemed we should all have been more patriotic.

All had lots of noise and fun. Do I hear someone say "the good old days are gone" I think its good they are gone. • We all learned patriotism and the July 4th is more,than a lot of noise.

May I add Bannister was a much larger town in those days.

Old'Timer Pearl Blank

Editor: I think we, as citizens of

'Clinton" County, should be very proud of our local 4th of July celebration.

The parade, as Witnessed, by very many, was the best yet.

The ceremony at the courthouse was very meaningful and ' the fireworks were just spectacular. i Thanks to the firemen and

everyone connected with the event.

On Friday night (July 2) I took 9 children to see 2 PG rated movies at The Family Drive-In. One was "To The Earth's Core" and the other was "The Old Dracula,'.'

The movies weren't bad," but the previews of upcoming movies were disgusting.

i Why is it necessary to show such junk when the management knows that for that particular movie, the audience is primarily

i children!?

The parents in the 2 cars next to us were as'disguSted as I.

I remember ayear or 2 ago when some people wrote some letters to the editor suggesting the theatre change its name.

I urge it to do the same thing. I won't take my children again unless I know the movies for the next 4 weeks* after will all be "G" or "PG" so the previews will be fit to be seen.

By Richard L. Mil l iman almanack

Has Carter freed the So

Theft is the underlying theme of this week's Almanack...meaning the presentation herewith of various quotations from various sources which to me have been stimulating, provocative, or just plain interesting for various reasons.

For instance..... , Columnist Joseph Kraft a few weeks back described the

primary victories of that unlikely national candidate, the* Hon. Jimmy Carter, in these terms: '

"Beyond announcing that the stigma of race is off Southern leaders, these victories may promise the end of

' another Southern specialty. I have in mind the tendency to be uncritical boosters of American armed strength, hawks in all military engagements, see-ers of subversives under every bed.

"To me, anyway the great hope of the new regional balance is that, much as the Kennedy presidency pulled the Catholics away from hysterical anti-communism, so a Carter presidency, and the final end of the Civil War, would relieve the South of the need to be super-American."

-' Hmmmm. He might have something there, you know. But what if Carter loses? Does that mean Southerners are military hawks, super-patriots, etc.?

Reporter Dennis Farney of the Wall Street Journal took a recent look at the primary scene from the Republican side of the fence, and came up with these thoughts:

"About ail the Republican primaries accomplished was to hurt Republican chances to retain the White House next fall.

"President Ford and Ronald Reagan, still locked in an extremely tight'race, have staggered out of the primary season looking like two over-the-hill prizefighters. Each has battered the other nearly senseless while bungling opportunities to land a knockout blow. Now, while the Democrats unite around Jimmy Carter, the Republicans face an increasingly bitter struggle."

Seeing Mr. Ford slightly ahead-at least, at that "particular moment-Reporter Farney continues:

'"Stili) the erratic Frord campaign has blown leads before. It had Mr. Reagan on the canvas early in the race, but let him up again in North Carolina. And in calculation and strategy the Reagan campaign,hasn't proved any better. So, calculations notwithstanding, the nomination ultimately may go to the man who avoids making the last mistake."

Mr. Farney has put his finger on the entire art of elective politics as I perceive it. And that is not necessarily to score positively, but rather to avoid error. Of course, with"the mood of the country being what the pollsters tell us if is, perhaps the biggest Republican mistake this, year will be to win the right to run against Mr. Carter.

U.S. Rep. Wayne Hays, who now needs no further identification, faces an election challenge from an-

an independent candidate the mayor of Steub'enville, Ohio who is William Crabbe. Mr. Crabbe recently commentedon the political situation in their eastern Ohio district*

i

"This is bhurch and family oriented area, theheartland of America. The people here believe in the .'Ten Commandments and, they prove i t^a t the polls.

"The people here will pray for him (Mr. Hays) and so will I...but I don't think they will vote for him."

Mr. Crabbe may be right. But the unsettling thing is he ' probably isn't, ' .

' Electronic journalist Daniel Schorr, sidelined by 'his n e t ^ o r «J!? t n e S ( l u a b b l e °ver leaking a congressional report on the CIA, was asked how he felt to be "at the centerof a

EEw3?. Schtrf S°me are Ca,Hng y ° U a *•*"• "The joys of Martyr'dom are vastly overrated. The

publicity has turned my world upside down. I'm working harder than ever'and enjoying it less..,.

"Worst of all, I guess, is that I have lost my free speech and can't even say anything without checking it out with my lawyer." . '

The penalty for principle is high. So is the penalty'for misplaced arrogance. Mr. Schorr ispaying'one or the other.

(Everyone

Pilgrim United Methodist Church honored our country's 200th birthday July 4 by ^holding a Colonial worship service.

Many of the congregation were dressed in fashions of former years.

As the congregation gathered into the church, the women were seated on one side of the room and the men on the other side.

The service was timed by. an hour glass instead of a clock. ,

Head usher, Jeff Pearson was attired in a blue velvet Colonial costume.

Lyle Fenner, tithing man, was active with a long pole with a feather on one end and a brass knob on the other. The feather was to keep the ladies awake and attentive and the brass knob for the men's benefit.

No musical instruments were used during the service as they were considered sinful in Colonial-times.

The congregation was summoned to worship by

, narrator Don Davis and the c^ndlelighters led the procession of the beadle Stuart Hazel, deacon Dave Yallup and the minister Rev. Brian Sheen to the platform.

Rev. Sheen gave the invocation and Wade Williams, the precentor, led in repeating Psalm 24.

The children's story was« given by Rev. Sheen who told them they could remember 1776 by using the following numbers: 1. Standing for the first Commandment, "I am the Lord thy God." 7. There

minister, who explained the scripture and admonisthed the congregation to do right toward God and country.

Lining a Psalm, fWhat a friend we have in Jesus," was led by Wade Williams whoi read a line to the congregation who then sang the line until the complete song was sung. There were no hymnals from which to sing. , The prayer used by George Washington on July 4, 1776 was read by Rev. Sheen to pray for the country. * Following the offering, the doxology and prayer of dedication, the song "Amazing grace" was lined by Wade Williams.

Rev(. Sheen gave the benediction and the congregation repeated the "Lords Prayer*' in unison.

Following Sunday School, the group gathered on the church lawn for a basket dinner with about 150 people present.

During dinner, the "circuit rider," Rev. LaVern Bretz of Lansing arrived on horseback. He is a retired minister from Valley Farms Baptist Church. ,

Following dinner, Rev. Bretz, called the congregation together for a brief service. The congregation then went back

' into the church for a 1 program, begun by Mark ' Yallup, one of the Caravan

Trail Blazers, carrying the United States flag to the front of the church.

While he held the flag, the congregation recited the "Pledge of Allegiance."

A visual focus, "I love America" was dedicated to the congregation b y Rev. Sheen, who on June 14, 1976, along with his son Brent and daughter Kerry, became new citizens .of the United States

Rev. Sheen was a former

British ^subject and his children*»ere born in South Africa.

Erna Sperry then presented Rev. Sheen a U.S. flag she had crocheted as a gift for him becoming a new citizen. She also presented a crocheted church flag to Don Davis for the new church.

The church bell was rung at 2.p.m. to join with the rest of the church bells ringing across the nation, calling people back to Christ.

While the congregation was standing in prayer, Levi Blakeslee rang the bell. His father was the first bell ringer for the church, with Levi taking over from his father. Between them, they have served as bell ringer for 75 years.

A piano and violin medley by Neva Pope and her daughter, Bonnie Hiebeck, followed the bell ringing.

"New Citizen" honoring Rev. Sheen was read by Candy Pierson, **God Bless America" was sung by the congregation, "Happy Birthday America" was written and read by Rev. Sheen, "The New Colossus" was read by Hazel Pearson and a wreath chant closed the program by singing "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor."

After the program, a birthday cake baked by Bea Grams along with homemade ice cream, lemonade and iced tea were served in the south wing of the church and the people viewed articles of yesteryear displayed on tables.

The congregation then departed for St. Johns to view the church float, made by the young people of the church, in the St. Johns Bicentennial Parade.

Rev. Sheen, gave the invocation on the courthouse during the program following the parade.

REV. AND MRS. BRIAN SHEEN AND SONS Brent and Kendall and daughter Kerry w fth the horse & buggy showing the way we used to travel to church. Lyle Fenner is by the horse.

Recreation Round-up

With Dick Buggs

St. Johns City Recreation Director

It was a slow-paced week for the recreation department last week, with much of the time being spent catching^p on events and games rained out from the previous weeks. It was an opportune time for relaxing, re-organizing, and gathering steam for the second half of the summer. It's hard to believe only eight weeks until Labor Day. There's lots to be done, between now and then!

The breakdown of the week's activites follows: CHILDREN'S RECREATION

I smile every week when it comes time to writethis part of my column. Each week more and more children are coming out on Wednesdays and Thursdays and we are all having a lot of fun playing games and making friends. We held the twice rained-out treasure hunt on Wednesdav and the kids reallv enjoyed scrambling for the candy that was "mysterioush/" scattered through-out the park by elves the night before. We also held a* "peanut hunt" and the seven children who found the most peanuts and won twenty-five cents worth of candy were: Jeff Grant, Jeff Penix, Michelle Russell, Ireena Garapetian, Jim Randall and Brian and Kurt Ziegler.

This week, July 15, we are having a "hobo hike" from the courthouse lawn to^the city park All children are invited to ^ attend nd are asked to bring a sack lunch. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. and the program will finish approximately 12:15 pjn.

Events coming up inchidea bicycle safety clinic and rodeo swim meet, pet show, talent show and more!

SOFTBALL LEAGUES

We are now about half way through our summer softbaH schedule. It looks like the teams to be in the Champtonship League are Sillman's, and Dry Dock'd with Hub Tire., McKenzies, and the Roadhouse all at the top of thepack. The race in the Recreational League isn't clear presenfly due to three nights of rained out games. In the Women's League, • Rehmann's, Community Dodge and Clinton National Bank are currently tops. Below are the week's scores and standings as of July 8:

Women's League Community Dodge 19 Community Dodge 4-0 Clinton National 4-0 Rehmann's 2-1 SJ Bay 2-2 EJ Standard 2-2 Buckeye 1-2 v Julie K M Mickey's 0-4 *

LANSING - Fifteen portable steel structures, some more than 10 stories high, are being erectedjn 7 counties including Clinton County for a geodetic survey of a 1,000-square-mile area of south-central Michigan.

The 5-month survey will e s t ab l i sh geog raph i c positions with minute precision along the route of proposed Interstate 69 Freeway and other major transportation routes in the area. It is a cooperative program between the Department of State H i g h w a y s a n d Transportation and the National Ocean Survey (NOS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The 15 structures will be erected at intervals of from 3 to 8 miles, close enough so that NOS surveyors can see from one structure to the next. The three-legged structures consist of an inner and outer tower.' The inner tower holds survey instruments precisely aligned over a bronze marker, while the outer tower serves as a platform for the surveyors.

The surveys, which take into account the curvature of the earth, are conducted at night when atmospheric distortion is at a minimum. A laser instrument, employing the speed of light, mea sures the dis tance between points and enables

surveyors to hold error to less than l inch in 10 miles.

Distances are determined by computing the time it takes a laser light pulse to travel, from the instrument to a set of mirrors at another site and return. Temperature and pressure measurements are included in the computations to correct for atmospheric distortion. /

NOS ^surveyors will determine approximately 50 geographic positions of latitude and longitude from sites in Ingham, Eaton, Clinton, Ionia, Calhoun, Jackson and Shiawasee counties. Employees of the Department of State H i g h w a y s a n d Transportation will establish subsidiary points in the Immediate vicinity of planned 1-69, extending from

the existing freeway at Charlotte north to Lansing and east to near Perry, and along other transportation routes.

M e a s u r e m e n t s of elevation, computed during daylight hours, will be made both by federal and state personnel. A side benefit of the program will be on-the-job training for state employees in geodetic survey methods and procedures.

Geodetic surveys provide basic data not only for transportation facilities but also for other public and private utilities and construction projects, such as pipelines and water and sewage facilities, and for determining land boundaries and planning land development.

Clothes and feelings

Sidewalk sale and end-of-season clearance time is here. Many families will be thinking about taking advantage of bargains especially in children's clothes.

The way we feel about ourselves depends to a great extent on how we think others feel about us. nothing helps build this self confidence. ,,

Young babies ' aren't interested In what they are wearing as long as they are dry .and ' dressed comfortably. But children of two or three are becoming interested in their clothes. For the first time, they begin to notice what they have on. Wearing clothes they like and feel comfortable in becomes important to them. important to them.

Children want clothes similar to the clothes their friends wear. This is important when a young child is discovering, "Who am I?"and "What do others think of me?" Clothes help develop a feeling of "belonging" and of being part of a group.

A child explores the world around him in many ways-through touch, sight, smell and the other sense* The color of clothes and their feel help this learning process. Color is most important to a child, probably more important than the style of the garment. Capitalize on this color interest as a chance to help your child with color selection. Give the child a real choice between two appropriate colors. If your child likes a color very

much that you think is less becoming to him, consider it for night clothes.

In their exploring, children like to touch different textures. Children like the soft "feel' of velvet, fur and other napped fabrics. You can help your child distinquish textures by encouraging him to tell you how fabrics "feeP\..."8oft", "fun", etc.

Children want some of their clothes to be new or at least new to them. Changing buttons, adding trim, or making other changes may help meet this need. Decoration on clothes such as buttons, lace, a monogram, or buckle can give the garment a special personalized touch for a child. And don't forget that children need pockets in which to store their "valuables and "treasures".

Because children are so active,proper fitand correct sizing are important for best appearance, more freedom of movement, and acceptance by playmates. No child iikes to wear clothes that are too big and large. Loose fitting clothing could be a safety hazard. If you buy ahead during sales, keep it stored until it fits your child or buy garments that have built-in growth features. Some of these features include: adjustable shoulder straps; raglan, kimono or sleeveless styles;

elastic inserts; stretch or knit fabrics, undefined waistlines in one piece inserts; stretch or knit fabrics, undefined waistlines in one piece garments; tuck, pleats and yokes that extend wearable life of the garment; and seams wide enough to withstand strain and permit alterations.

Children want clothes they can put on themselves, or with very little help. Each new experience in learning to dress himself makes your child more independent, self-confident, and helps him develop judgement. His personality is being developed as he masters these physical skills.

Sometimes children have strong clothing preferences and Become -upset if they can't "wear what they want to wear". Yoif can guide, child by setting limits and by offering positive choices that would be acceptable to both of you. Begin by letting him make the final decisions on smaller items. Planning and guiding at home are necessary before your child is ready to help with a decision at the store.

In selecting children's clothing, remember to keep in mind that emotional security as well as physical comfort, contribute to your c h i l d ' s p e r s o n a l i t y development.

Jim's Column 'Jim Pelham Clinton County

Percentage ortotal state revenues gained through property taxes in Michigan ranks among half a dozen or so of the highest paying states, according to a recent study. Farmers feel they carry an unfair share of taxes since real estate represents a major portion of their investment. Non-farm businesses pay high property taxes too, but a much smaller portion of their assets are in the form of real estate; so many farmers and farm organizations feel they are being unjustly penalized on their capital assets.^

Farm real estate values in Michigan have been increasing by 12 to 18 percent annually during the past few years with the lower figure representing Michigan's 1975 , gain. However, there is every indication land price increases have accelerated in 1976 and may post the biggest percentage gaiaever in 1976! This is great for the speculator or farmer who wants to sell his farm, but for the farmer who must hold his < land to stay in business, taxes on the land represent another rapidly escalating expense and narrower profit m a r g i n s . T o w n s h i p Assessors find themselves in hot water with the State Tax Commission when they don't change their assessments to reflect increases in value.

Last year a number of Michigan farmers gained tax relief through participation in the new "Farmland and Open Space Act", P.A. 116. In fact their average tax savings amounted to about two thousand dollars. Many farmers^ were reluctant to enter their farms into the agreement, but on the average, Clinton County farmers were more receptive to the plan and have entered more than 13,000 acres at this date. Only Lenawee County of the 83 in the state has greater participation.

T h e C o o p e r a t i v e Extension Service takes no official stand on the merits of the act, but most counties, including Clinton, have provided information and helped with educational meetings on the act.

The act isn't for everyone, but it's hard to see how participation * could harm most fanners. Exceptions to the rule would be those planning to develop their land in the next ten years, and one major farm credit agency has an unfortunate "policy which doesn't permit participation on land tor which it is holding a mortgage.

The act provides a state tax refund for all property tax in excess of 7 perceht of the landholder's income providng the land is entered into the agreement.

Landholders who pay less than 7 percent of their household income (net farm ,income plus income from essentially any other source) will not benefit from the act unless, of course, taxes get higher or their income gets lower.

One group that has been slow in signing into the act and could benefit substantially is older farmers who have tapered off their operation with resulting lower income. In situations like this, taxes take an ever increasing bite.

Other landholders may benefit, by the provision in

Shepardsville News Extension Director

the act that excludes their land from special a s s e s s m e n t s f o r improvements that are being made primarily to serve developers or subdivisions that have been developed.

To get tax relief in 1976, the landholder should have, his appliction completed and on file with the County Clerkk Office not later than September 1. This is because it must be processed through a large number of agencies including the County Planning Commission, the Soil Conservation District, local government and State Tax Commission before the end of the year and this all takes an indefinite amount of time.

A recent change in the law provides for the local assessor sending his most recent appraisal to the State Tax Commission rather than having a representative of the commission making an on-sight_ appraisal.

Application forms can be obtained from the County Clerk, Township Clerk, any Village Clerk or the Clinton County Farm Bureau Office in St. Johns

More cable

for DeWitt General Telephone will

soon begin placing additional cable facilities in the DeWitt area, according to Norm Krievins, Owosso division manager for the company.

The facilities will be used for new growth as well as upgrading from party lines to private lines. The project which will * cost approximately $130,884 will place 13.3 miles of cable.

Buried cable will be used for the majority of this project because it is less susceptible'to damage by natural elements such as rain, wind and lightning in addition to restoring ,the natural beauty of the environment.

They are Marvin Fongers, St. Johns; Dale Kuenzli, St Johns; John Ay Is worth, St. Johns; Frand Rivest, Elsie; and Mahlon Nichols, DeWitt John Aylsworth, Extension 4-H Youth Agent, will be coordinating the statewide program this year.

The purpose/ of these exchange visits is to help extablish a better understanding between people of the world. The feeling is that this can best be accomplished by having young people live as members of a family. The greater the understanding" between people of the world, The feeling is that this can best be accomplished b y having young people live as members of a family. The greater the understanding between host and exchange, the greater the contribution toward a more peaceful world. Being a two-way cultural exchange program, next year the Michigan families will have the opportunity to visit inxTapan on an invitation from a host family.

This exchange is sponsored by the Japan Labo Foundation and the Michigan 4-H program. The Labo program is administered through the Labo-teaching Center in

• Tokyo and emphasizes the importance of integrating language acquisition with < knowledge of its people and culture. Thus, an integral part of' the program is the international exchange

'designed to provide opportunities for young people of two different cultures to establish a close relationship.

Each child has been paired with a Michigan 4-H member

"of the same sex and age. During the month's stay in Michigan they will experience American home life while both working and playing with their host family.

The 4-H host families are instructed not to change the daily life in their home because experiencing daily life as it truly exists within the American c ulture is the"1

heart of the program. Thus, many of the

Japanese children may experience such tasks as taking out the garbage, dishwashing or mowing the lawn for the first time. Most of their time at home in Japan is spent in school or on studies and they rarely help with household chores.

In order to financially guarantee that their child

i can .participate, many Japanese families buy insurance from the foundation for their child

Horse auction (From Front Page)

too, is tne price of horses also increasing. A horse at the auction may go for $3 to $1,500. However, sales have gone as high as $3,000.

The PBB scare has influenced some northern Michigan men to raise horses instead of cattle, and some of these men have come to the St. Johns Horse Auction.

Horse meat is also shipped to France and other parts of Europe where it feeds many hungry people. "I've been told horse meat is lower in fat and calcium and higher in protein and vitamins than beef," says Pat.

EVERYBODY WELCOME "Everybody is invited to come, as long as they

keep the kids out of the back of the barn," says Pat who says many families as well as licensed horse traders come to the auctions.

Two regular auctioneers put on a "show" for the audience as well as sell the horse equipment and horses. Equipment sometimes includes such novelties as sleighs and buggies from Quebec, Canada. The Recks once had a covered wagon, but that has since been sold.

Commenting on the people who come to the auctions, Pat said, "You meet more of a variety of people than in any other business."

She recalls people riding 15-20 miles on their horses to the auction, people purchasing small ponies and loading them into their Volkswagon buses, and people riding their horses home. "Sometimes we wonder if they ever make it home," she says.

She particularly remembt.*s one old man who drove up in a rickety old truck pulling an old horsei trailer. When the trailer hit a bump in the Horse Auction driveway, the sides gave way. Much to the by-standers expectations, there stood an old horse in the fallen trailer. Pat says everyone got quite a chuckle that day.

Yes, it takes all kinds-both people and horses-to make this old world tick.
