Editorial

Walter Gumser Well Qualified There a re three candidates In the Republican pr imary for

membera of the State legislature In the aerond district, which 'con-

H i n t s ot Lowell, Bowne, Cascade, Caledonia, Paris, Gaaen, Wyomhig

and Byron townships, the southern two tiers of townships In Kent

County. N

We believe that Walter W. (iumner of Lowell meri ts the nom-

ination.

Conditions In the legislature a re not any too good these days.

The record substantiates this statement. Perhaps a newcomer

could do a lot for un In the legislature this coming term. Newi

blood, new thoughts and energetic action should b© welcomed.

Walter W. flmnwr, thn newcomer, Is a public spirited eltlsen

of distinctive worth. His training, his experience and record of

achievement In his work among the youth he has served. Is out-

standing. We believe he would make a hard working legislator.

Men of Mr. Gumser 's caliber, when they offer thalr services

to the electorate, should be given serious conslderaUon. A vote for

him will be a vote for progressive action. There Is no substitute

for experience, lie Is equipped to perform like a champion.

Our state government Is faced with many problems and only

men of Ihe experience of Walter Gumser seem to aecqfiipllsh very

much when problems a r e to be met In government. His f i n e

record as the administrator of our schools and t h e many con-

tacts he has made throughout his years In public work with people

In government equips him perfecUy for the task he will meet up

with In Lansing.

Corn ajid Oat Silage to Be More Popular

A Michigan State University f&k-m economist expects a greater proportion of com to be harvested as silage in the future .

Ray Hoglund points out that com as silage results In 25 to 40 per cent higher nutrient yields per acre than when harvested as grain. Al-so, the field chopping method has taken the drudgery out of harvest-ing com silage and cut labor costs.

More Use of Alfalfa

Hoglund expects to see an In-creased use of alfalfa or alfalfa-grass mixtures. Alfalfa yields a third more and costs less per ton to produce than clover-timothy. Even when alfalfa s tands are left only one year, they a r e still more profitable than clover stands, Hog-lund maintains. In Michigan, alfal-fa acreage Increased 40 per cent f rom 1949 to 1954,

More first crop alfalfa and other legume crops will be harvested as grass silage, too, Hoglund believes. This year, southem Michigan dairy f a rmers will harvest 15 per cent of these crops for grass silage. By 1946, this acreage will be doubled, he expects.

Oats an Grass Silage

The farm economist also forsees the harvesting of more oats as g r a s s silage. Dairymen can in-crease the yield of feed nutrients

by 40 per cent and lower the costs per feed unit 20 per cent in har-vesting oats as silage ra ther than as grain. This change in harvest-ing has the same effect as adding more land to the fa rm, Hoglund says. Seedlngs will also be Im-proved.

Switch the Pitch-And you Bog like a Bad

Yon can do it only in a Buick.

Only with Variable Pitch Dynaflow* can^yST switch the pitch like an airplane pilot does. Only with Dynaflow can you get a safety-surge of extra power that's smooth as a soaring bird.

Only the newest version of Dynaflow gives completely smooth, swift acceleration—even at the first gas-saving inch of pedal pressure.

Trying is believing-this new 1956 Dynaflow is years phcad of any other transmission. And it's just one of the great new features that you're missing if you're still driving an older car.

I

So why wait for your present car to become another year older—and considerably less valu-able as trade-in—when you can take advantage of today's prices? And enjoy a car so excitingly new?

Just look at Buick s new styling—styling that will still look fresh for years to come.

/ 1

Just try the newest Buick ride. It's the steadiest yet. Based on deep-coil springs, deep-oil-cushioned shock absorbers, torque-tube drive, and a long list of new developments not even Buick has ever had before.

And to say that this is a great time to buy a Buick is really an understatement. Come see the sensible, down-to-earth prices of Buick's tremendous range of models. Come hear the deal we can give you.

It's our deal—for your pleasure. Come draw up a chair—we're ready whenever you are.

But low initial cost is only the beginning. Take resale value—it stays higfy thanks to the demand for used Fords. Take operating cosh—they stayjow, with Ford's modem, economical Short Stroke engines. And Ford Trucks cost less to maintain because they lost longer. This Is a fad certified by independent insurance specialist.

Drug Protects Expectant Mothers From Measles

Expectant mothers who think they may have been exposed to German measles during their first tour months of pregnancy would be wise to consult their physician.

They have less cause to be wor-ried, however, now that more has been learned about this type of meatle* as a cause of abnormal prenatal development.

The risk of the germai^ meales virus injuring the unborn child is less than has been previously be-lieved, says Dr. Warren Fearse, staff obstetrician at the University of Michigan Women's hospital.

Moreover, Gamma Globulin is often given to early stage expect-ant others who think they have been exposed to german measles, he says. It will keep them from getting the disease.

Admittedly there is some danger present. The finding of recent stud-ies conducted in Sweden Indicate that five to seven per cent of In-fants bom to mothers who had the

Just Swattin' Won't Rid Home Of Pesky Fly

Swat files, but don't expect to cut down their population just by slap-ping those which buz/ around the house. A single female housefly, according to the Michigan Depart-ment of Health, lays from 500 to 2,000 eggs In her prolific lifetime.

Said the health department: "Fly paper, fly bombs and screening may help rid your household of files, but the best way to eliminate them is to remove their breeding places by keeping your premises clean and free fruin gaibage. Com-munities still using the old fashion-ed open garbage dumps can re-move this fly breeding center by providing the sanitary landfill which gets refuse buried prompt-ly."

"After you have cleaned up gar-bage, waste or farm manure piles which attract flics," the depart-ment added, "then swat every fly you see. The one that gets away maV be carrying a bundle of sick-ness on his legs."

Flmoridation Gains.

Fluoridation of water supplies Is gaining world-wide status as an established public-health procedure according to the American Denta! Association, which reports that the measure to reduce dental decay Is in operation. In addition to the United States, in Brazil, Canada,

sociology, speech andlGhlle, Colombia, Germany, The Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, and Switzerland. In the United States the program Is now serving some 22 million persons in more than 1,100 communities, Including such large cities as St. Louis, Phil-adelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C., and San Fran-cisco. Chicago lias announced plans to initiate the measure early this year. In all, one out of every four residents of U. S. A. urban areas is now drinking water containing a suitable amount of this decay-pre-venting element.

Ado Church Fesflvol Wil Be This Sundoy

St. Robert's Church In Ada will be the tcene of plenty of activity this coming Sunday when the church holds its annual Ham Din-ner and Festival.

The dinner, home cooked by the women of St. Robert's Guild, and served country style Is the main attraction of course and the menu of ham. rolls, pastries and salads sounds mighty tempting.

Those attending the Sunday event will have a chance at some very worthwhile prizes such as an alum-inum boat, complete with outboard motor, a Hl-Fl record player, a set of lawn furniture or a deluxe rotitserio

The event will be held, rain or shine, and begins at noon, this coming Sunday, July 22.

The generally accepted theory that 80 to 90 per cent of the chil-dren bom to these mothers are , not nohnal Is a carry over from I Australia's great german measles epidemic of 1941, the doctor says. Several months followtng the epi-demic a number of children were bom with congenital defects. On in-vestigation it was found that most of their mothers had had the dis-ease early in pregnancy.

The Australia experience alerted the world. Dr. Fearse notes. Since then it has been generally believed that the high rate of defects found after the epidemic waa typical. Studies and observations have prov-ed otherwise, he states.

The disease itself is a mild one the doctor notes. It lasts for three days and Is characterized by a low fever and a mild rash. It has no more internal or after effects than a common cold.

Permanent immunity Is built up after the first experience with the disease, he says.

Fetal abnormalties directly as-sociated with the mother having german measles are caused by the virus getting, into the unborn child and attacking it, according to Dr. Pearse. It does Its damage to the ears, eyes, and heart, while these organs are In the first stages of

i development. After they are past ' the early stages—up to four months —there is no danger, he reminds.

If you find that you liave had the disease daring the danger per-iod, or have it now and you are within the first four months, do not worry about It says Dr. Pearse. Your chances are almost 20 t o . l that nothing at all will happen.

Pure Silicon

A process for the manufacture of pure silicon has been made known. By this process Is opened up a virtually unlimited source uf a nonmetalllc element for tansls-tors which appear to be revolution-izing electronics as well as rectifi-ers and other electrical p a r t s . The silicon in a tiny wafer used by a transistor coats from 2 to 4 cents. Transistors are expected to pro-vice the low power consumption, compactness, and reliability which will open the door to broad expan-sion of the electronics and electri-cal industries. Germanium has been used in transistors, but recent tests indicate the pure silicon will compete with It for many purposes and for numeroua uses it is the only material that win woric. This is particularly true where tempera-tures are more than 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Silicon functions up to at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It can handle several times as much power as germanium, for example. Pure silicon is a brittle, gray, sparkling element with a crystal-line appearance. It specific gra-vity makes it a little lighter than aluminum. ^ (

Deadline Nears To Put Corn In Soil Bank

Michigan com growers must act by July 20 If they want to put their boost in com acreage into the soil bank.

Daniel Sturt, farm economist at Michigan State University, reports that acreage allotments are being increased 18 per cent. This new acreage is called a base acreage. For example, if the 1956 allotment was 40 acres, the new base acre-age IS 47 acres.

Sturt believes that farmers who are within their 1956 acreage allot-ment will find it most profitable to put the extra acreage into the soil bank. Farmers may do this by signing up with the county Ag-ricultural Stabilization and Conser-vation office. To qualify for soil bank payments, on this acreage, they must not graze or harvest a crop from it and must keep noxi-ous weeds under control.

If the 1956 com allotment was overplanted and the extra acres from the new com base covered the overplanting, the farmer must still put an acreage equal to 15 per rent of his base arreagp Into the soil bank to qualify for full price supports.

Sturt also suggests that It might be wise to put some of the com already planted Into the soil bank If prospects for a good crop are poor.^ By getting rid of planted acres, farmers get 90 cents a bush-el on the com they would have raised on this acreage.

Flu^ide To JBe Paired on Teeth

Fluoride will be painted on the teeth of about 35,000 Michigan chil-dren this summer In a cooperative campaign against todth decay. Flu-oride applications will be given in 180 centers in 41 counties by 54 students from the University of Michigan and University of De-t r o i t - a l l junior dentists and dental hygienists.

Supervised by dentists and spon-sored by local health departments, schools, and civic groups, the pro-g r a m is made self-supporting through a nominal fee paid by par-ents of each child treated. This is the seventh year of the sumnier fluoride program. To get maxi-m u m benefit, children have their teeth painted with fluoride four times, and this process is repeated at three-year intervals.

Dr. Fred Wertheimer, depart-ment director of public health den-4 tistry. said that . "By following this schedule, you can expect about 40 pe r t e n t less tooth decay." He said that the summer fluoride pro-ject, plus year-around programs in many communities, now serve 300,-000 Michigan youngsters. Dr Wer-theimer said that use of fluoride directly on children's teeth and, even more effective, the fluorida-tion of public water supplies, "rep-resent the greatest advances ever made in preventive dental health."

Because Michigan has encourag-ed the use of fluoride to prevent tooth decay. Dr. Wertheimer add-ed that . "The current generation of Michigan children can look for-ward to far fewer decayed and lost teeth, less painful trouble with their teeth, generally lower dental bills and all the advantages both social and nutrjtionaj—which come f rom having sound, white teeth."

Sort Clothes For Best Washing Results

You may be in a rush to get those soiled clothes into the wash-ing machine, but don't overlook sorting them.

When sorting, place those arti-cles together which call for the s a m e kind of washing, the same tempera ture of water and have the s ame amount of soil, reminds Lu-cile Ketchum. home management specialist a t Michigan State Uni-versity.

If articles a re colored, be sure the color is fas t before placing them with white or pastel colored clothes. Wash white orlon. nylon and dacron alone since they easily take up color.

Soil may be just plain dirt, like soot, sand and mud. or it may be food, such as milk, eggs, gravy, fruit or vegetables. Miss Ketchum explains that the former calls for hot water, a good detergent and vigorous action. The soil from food often calls for special treatment before washing.

The longer food stays on cloth-ing. the harder it is to get out. Stains may result which call for special care ancl also may cause the fabric to deteriorate. Check and remove stains, cautions Miss Ketchum. Hot wa te r and detergent set some stains so they can never be removed.

P a r e n t s . , when a t the beach watch your children very carefully. The only water they a re afraid of Is the soapy kind.

k , M A OTT

THIS SCAIRED veteran of many a baseball campaign well remembers my 1934 season with the New York Giants when we were leading the league by some-thing like half a dozen games on Labor Day. yet blew the pennant to the St. Louis Cardinals on the final day.

The Carun went on to quash the Tigers in the World Series but that isn't the point of this story.

The point is that we were all veterans of the championship 1933 team and certainly knew what the game was all about. Yet we went into an unexplained slump, nothing we could do was right, and the next thing we knew we wound up trailing the Cardinals.

Similar difficulties befell the Tigers, although under less acute circumstances, when they suffered their recent 10-game slump. It was the fault of no individual, it was something that was (and is) difficult to explain and little or nothing could be done about it except to keep giving everything you had every day.

Still in Contention

I still believe that should the Tigers ever get all the parts click-ing ajt once, and keep them that way. they're going to be a very tough team to keep out of the first division.

This was proved on the last Eastern trip when they posted a highly commendable 11 won-5 lost record while whipping the Yankees three s t ra ight

Despite* the absctrce of W f t Garver. the pitching staff was go-

ing along smoothly. The-batters were coming through in the pinch. And the defensive play was superb.

The team returned to Briggs Stadium full of confidence. If they could do so well on the road, wouldn't they do even bet-ter at home? Naturally.

Trouble—All At Oace

Then the roof fell in. Harvey Kuenn. who'd been injured in Boston, failed to respond to treat-ment and remained out of the line-up. Frank Boiling, whose play at hat and at second base bad been outstanding since his return on leave from the Army, had to go hark for his discharge.

Bill Tuttle went into a slump. Ray Boone's ailing knees acted up. And, as if all this weren't enough, bad luck seemed to dog those who remained. A fielding •nisplsy that ordinarily wouldn't have mattered tumed out to be a crucial play. Or the batters simply couldn't drive in important runs, no matter how hard they tried.

Such a combination of circum-stances is enough to make any-one discouraged. But the Tigers weren't discouraged, only dis-gusted, particularly over blowing the close ones during that 10-game ordeal.

Finally it came to an end. The ailing players recovered, the ab-sent player returned and the team started hitting and fielding again. That's the way it goes ia baseball.
