RABY8ITTER8 ARE AVAILABLE DURING SHOWBOAT WEEK

A baby sitting clinic sponsored by the Lowell Pep Club will be held during the week of Showboat, Ju ly 22-July 27.

There will be a charge of 50 cents.

s t reets and the snow was piled up so high In the middle of Main Street that sleighs passing on one side could not see those gnlng the other way.

Runciman r e m e m b e r s that anvils in three blacksmith shops were ringing, dressed hogs hung by the score in front of the meat mar -kets, and horse d rays were hauling beer, boxed goods, and mail f rom the two rai l road stations where six trains on each railroad passed through daily.

Something of a showman, Runci-m a n proved to be a super-salesman f rom the s tar t . Soon af ter his ar-r ival in Lowell, he drew atten-tion to himself and to his eleva-tor by flying f rom Lowell to the Com Hefferan f a rm , 2,/4 miles northwest of Parnel l , to make an offer on the bean crop.

He hired Charles Stocking, later a pilot In World War I. to fly him In his plane, which landed In a field that Hefferan had mark-ed with newspapers held down with stones. F a r m e r s c a m e from miles around to see the airplane, a rar -ity in those days, and stayed to talk with young Runciman, who was just gett ing a s tar t In the highly competit ive business of buy-ing thp products of the area f a rms .

"When I c a m e to Lowell In 1917," Runciman recalls, " I had S600 and a desire to opera te a grain elevator.

" I didn't know anything about the business, but I borrowed some money, bought an elevator, and worked In overalls for nine years learning."

To some observers back in 1917, the prospects of a former scl ool superintendent doing well In the bean business seemed slim, but the young ent repreneur proved the wrong; Runciman became one o f j Michigan's leading bean, feed, and grain hanHler-'shippprs, and the small elevator he acquired 47 years ago became a far-flung, multi-million-dollar business empire.

In the process of Its growth the Runciman Company purchased la propert ies In Lowell for receiving, storing, and handling beans, grain, seed and various fa rm supplies; a n l u n r g company In Ionia; an elevator and feed manufacturing mill In Clarksville; an elevator in Freepor t ; and a chain of eleva-tors In the Thumb area of Mich-igan.

Other business activities at one t ime included a ca r agency in Lowell, even a Ipttuce f a r m in Wisconsin, and a Clarksville lum-ber company.

Pa r t of Mr . Runclman's busi-ness success was due to his pro-gressive ideas. In the ef>rly 1930s, when he could no longer hire enough women to sort navy beans by hand to mee t this expanding business, Runciman consulted with Inventor H. C. Hanson and repre-sentatives of the General Electric Company and Installed the first electric eye bean sorters in the world.

As a result , production was in-creased near ly 10 times.

The Lowell businessman's other roles have Included helping to found the f amed Lowell Showboat and serving a s Its Interlocutor for many years, serving on the Low-ell School Board as m e m b e r and president, serving as member and cha i rman of the Michigan Welfare Commission, and giving consistant financial and leadership support of 4-H club work and other youth p rograms a t s taf?, county, and local levels.

A quick walk down Main Street reveals that several of those Show, boat models a re on display again this year . In the window of the Speerstra Agency is one sparkled up in red tin foil, and there ' s one In Chris 's window done in blue. A green one dresses up the dis-play area of the Belding Finance Company, and It has the added advantage of sporting a revolving paddle wheel.

On East Main Street a clever window display can be seen at the Ball Floral Shop.

TOOT Let 's straighten out the record.

Last week in the Ledger we an-nounced that the opening night sailing of the Robert E . Lee would be the 150th trip down the river. We were wrong. Monday evening Interlocutor Forrest Buck told the crowd that the Showboat has just made Its 149th trip. He was wrong, too. We've checked back into (he old Ledger files and discovered that opening night 1960 saw the boat making its 127th voyage; by Saturday night of 1961. 138 per-formances had been logged; and last year the special Sunday night performance brought the total to 145. So Monday night's sailing was the 146lh tr ip down the r iver since 1932. The 150th won't come until Fr iday of this year.

TOOT We feel thai It is important

that such details ns the number of Showboat performances over the years be kept s traight . As fa r a s we know the only complete record of Showboat sailings and doings lies in our back files. F o r years the information In the Show{XMt programs has been notoriously misleading, minutes of Showboat directors' meetings a r e scattered all over Heaven knows where, and the memories of those who took part in early productions are of-ten faulty. And. as the years pass, winnowing fact f rom the publicity man 's fiction becomes increasingly difficult. Only back Issues of the Ledger can help untangle the snarl that Showboat history is rapidly becoming. And we save only one copy of each back issue. One good fire, and 32 years of tradition goes up in smoke.

TOOT The ladles of the Lowell V.F.W.

Auxiliary are serving up those tasty pre-Showboat dinner at the V.F.W. Hail this week, with Swiss steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, a fresh vegetable, and warm rolls anvl but ter on the menu. Crowning glory of the meal is home-made pie. made with the Auxiliary mem-hers' own special recipes. And there 's plenty of coffee brewing, of course—and iced tea is ready should the weather get warmer . Mrs. Lena Phelps, publicist for the group, says that serving time begins at 5 p. m . each night, with a charpe of SI.50 per person being made. Mrs. F reda Hendricks, president of ihe Auxiliary, is in charge of the event.

TOOT Gracing the speaker ' s table at

the Rotary luncheon Wednesday noon was a petunia-filled model of the Robert E. Lee.

Ham was on the menu, and side dishes included vegetable salad, boiled potatoes, rolls and relishes. Adding to the calories were big slices of cake. The luncheon was served by the ladies of the Amer-ican Legion Auxllliary.

After the meal c a m e the enter-tainment. Dink F r e e m a n emceed in his own inimitable style dusting off a couple of new ones we hadn't heard before.

Dink told the Rotar ians and their guests that Max and Cherie have played every country in the world in which it 's possible to stage a show, hut there's nothing like good old Scotland for the acrobatic duo.

Sandy Riner wowed the lunchers with his imitation of two banjo players performing together. Then he capped that tour de force by •mltating t h r e e - a l l ^oing hell-for-leather at once.

The "Ivy F o u r " (the soprano was In Chicago to do a special engagement ( sang a rousing ver-sion of "Sugar t imp." and then the Lenore Sutton Dancers sparkled their way through a tap dance number.

Ted Miller came out to announce that Smlley's latest records can Im? obtained at the Ada police depart-ment—and even Smiley smiled at that one.

Elmer Schaefer says that Rep. J e r r y F'ord will have to be rushed f rom Showboat at 10 p. m. to Grand Rapids to make an l l -o ' -clock plane for Washington Satur-day night.

It was "typical Showboat wea-t h e r " in Lowell Monday evening as the Robert E. Lee XXXII made the first of its six nightly runs down the Flat River and around Cat-Tall Bend to the Show-boat dock.

Monday afternoon, apprehensive Lowell residents were casting w a r y weather eyes toward the western horizons, searching for s igns of rain that might m a r the opening-night sailing of " the world 's grea t -est minstrel show under the s t a r s . "

No threatening clouds appea red In the west, however, but the rains came anyway, moving in uncharacteristically f rom the east at 6:15 p. m . and dousing the town and Showboat g rands tands until 7:25—five minutes before Wendell Chrlstoff and his local water-ski troupe were scheduled to begin the pre-show enter ta inment .

Skies were completely c lear once again, however, by the t ime the Showboat m a d e Its 146th t r ip down the river since 1932 and sidled up to Its berth a t 8:50 p. m . — 20 minutes behind schedule—before an estimated audience of 5,000 people.

Show Delayed Briefly

Aboard the Robert E . Lee Mon-day was a cas t of 104, including 17 professional entertainers, two amateurs , the 78 members of the Showboat chorus, six endmen. and Forrest Buck, 19-year veteran end-m a n making his maiden voyage as Showboat Interlocutor.

In the bow of the boat Orval Jessup used his bobbing silver cornet to lead the members of the high school band, while young boys working a s crew m e m b e r s aboard t f i e ' b o e t manned the outboard motors which propel the c ra f t , a facsimile of an old-fashioned Mis-sissippi s teamer , on its 1963 Flat River trip.

After the sliver, gold and blue Robert E. Lee arrived before the rlverbank grandstand, a 10-mlnute delay developed, during which the boat was secured, electricity was switched f r o m the Showboat 's gen-erator to ci ty power, and micro-phone connections were establish-ed.

Then the show finally got under-way, with Showboat Queen Mar ta McMahon and the m e m b e r s of her court. Judy Doyle and Alice Tower, welcoming the opening-night audience.

Boatload of Fun

Among the professional enter-tainers on board this yea r a r e Ted Miller and his dead-pan par tner Smiley, guitar-playing comedians; Max and Cherie. a husband-wife acrobatic t e a m from Aberdeen, Scotland: the show-tune belting Ivy Five; banjoist Sandy Riner ; comedian Dink F r e e m a n ; and a 6-member line of girls billed a s the Lenore Sutton dancers.

Amateur Contest winners per-forming a t the Monday night show were Judy Tryc, 5, and Jeff Don-aldson, 6. of Grand Rapids, whf delivered their interpretat ion of "Ahab the A r a b " and his seduc-tive love, the Princess F a t l m a .

Filling out the show with jokes and songs were six local business and professional men who serve as Showboat endmen: Ron Hoist, Richard McNeal. Stephen Nls-bet, William Reynhout, Ronald Weeks, and Loren Wohlford.

And a t 11:10 p. m.—with the skies still clear and a few stars glimmering faintly—it w a s all over.

Show Ends Saturday

Doris Boyd of the Lowell Show-boat Ticket Office has announced that good seats a re still available for the remaining per formances of the show, which is scheduled to close a f t e r the 151st sai l ing Satur-day evening.

Ticket prices a re $1, $1.60, and $2.20, Mrs . Boyd said, and reserv-ations m a y be made by calling the Main Street ticket off ice at TW 7-9237.

Wednesday has been designated as Grand Rapids Night, and 25 Western Michigan beauty queens will appea r at the annual Queens' Night Thursday. F r iday and Satur-day have been set aside to honor Democrats and Republicans, re-spectively, with Congressman Ger-ald R. Ford and others slated to appear.

Showboat Review

Showboat Crew Stages Good Show During 32nd Edition of The Event

ICE CREAM SOCIAL

Sponsored by M. Y. F . of the Alto-Bowne Center Methodist Chur-ches this Saturday, Ju ly 27, from 5 to 8 p. m. at the Alto Methodist Church. pl5

Before the opening Monday night we feared that a flurry of pre-show problems might wash out this year 's edition of the Showboat.

Ticket sales were lagging behind last year. The chorus and end-men were having rough t imes in rehearsal. Major surgery seemed necessary on the boat and dock. Publicity and other budgets had been cut. And the Lions were wor-ried that the Showboat programs would not be back f rom the print-ers In t ime for opening night.

But somehow—through a com-bination of determined community effort, routine, and the presence of over 58.000-worth of professional talent—the f ragmented show sud-denly coalesced, and the Monday performance can be rated a suc-cess.

Faith in the magic of the Show-boat was proven by the size of the opening-night crowd. Over 5.000 people—a little shy of the 6,000 at tendance f igure spouted by Showboat publicists—ignored the sudden ra in s torm late in the af-ternoon and filled the grandstand, waltfn' for the Robert E. Lee.

It was a typical Monday night audience. Many people—the Scouts. Little Leaguers, members of the press. Amateur Night winners and their numerous relatives, handi-capped c h i l d r e n . famiMes and friends of chorus ipembers—were there on f ree passes . . *.T ,1' At »- i

Plenty of Pop Corn And Monday was Family Night,

too. All children under twelve were admit ted free , and it was kids, kids, Wds all over the place—cheering, running up and down the stands, tr ipping off to the rest rooms, buying pop com.

Money m a d e ? Nobody knows for sure yet, but rough est imates re-veal that the pop com wagon did almost as well as the ticket booth. Doris Boyd reported Tuesday af te r -noon that she banked S800 of the Monday night ga te receipts. The pop com and soda pop sales total-ed almost 5700.

The evening began with the Aquanaut Ski Club's performance, which featured evervthing f rom Imitations of J F K to ski-less skiing.

Then the Robert E . Lee s teamed around the bend, never more beautifully decorated. Harold Ball and his commit tee decked out the boat In a golden sunburst pat tern which utilized the rounded a r ea above the paddle-wheel well, and the nautical aspects of Showboat were emphasized by the blue and silver waves spangling the upper-deck railings.

Pilot F r a n k Stephens seemed to have a little trouble docking the boat, which c a m e in sideways to its berth. But the landing was ac-complished and the boat was m a d e fast, and then It was t ime to get "on with the show."

Delay Develops But nothing happened. The audi-

ence fidgeted. Emcee John Roth scurried up and down one gang way. evidently unsnarling some microphone problems, and Show-boat Queen Mar ta McMahon could be seen nervously waiting at the foot of the other gang way.

And still the audience waited. The band stopped playing "Here Comes the Showboat" (It wasn' t coming any more—It was there), and then music director Bruce Walter s ta r -ted It up again.

A few more choruses and what-ever It was that caused the delay was remedied. Marly McMahon and her court then came out to welcome the crowd, the band struck up " A r e You From Dixie." and the chorus started prancing onstage.

Immediately two girls In the chorus slipped and fell, but the embarrass ing prat-fall didn't seem to squash their enthusiasm much. The entire chorus looked and sounded good, an added touch this year being black-light letters spel-IIiik out " A l a b a m a . " "Tennessee , " and "Carol ine ." and "Showboat ."

Mrs. Gerald Smith and Mrs. Ray Fngle were choreographers for the group.

ProfMwionalg Good The opening number finished and

the a m a t e u r ac t out of the way. it was t ime for the professionals to take the spot-light.

Best of the lot. perhaps, were

Ted Miller and his partner . "Smi-ley." Miller played s t ralghtman to Smlley's dead-panned jokes, and the audience seemed to love It. Smlley's perversions of old fa-vorites such "When You Wore a Tul ip" and "Marg ie" were especi-ally well received.

The Lenora Sutton Dancers were also very good, giving an exhibi-tion of precision dancing that equalled any ever seen on the Showboat stage. But we miss a good fast t ap n u m b e r - o r even a soft-shoe. Aside from high kicks and evidently torturous splits (the girls squealed in their best night-club fashion every t ime they hit the deck), their repertoire of dan-ce steps seemed somewhat limited, though they did do some athletic acrobat ics in their second number at the end of the show.

The Ivy Five, who opened with a medley of "Music M a n " tunes, had pleasing voices and pret ty costumes, but it wasn' t until they sang "Alabama Jubilee" «hat they seemed to catch the spirit of Showboat.

F r eeman In Poor Tasto

Comedian Dink Freemnn ' s m a -terial seemed particularly inap-propriate—more suited perhaps for a traveling salesmen's s tag par ty than for a Fami ly Nlijbt audience. But the kids seemed to miss the more risqye double entendres. and everyone enjoyed Freeman ' s clever pa t te r about inane TV commer-cials.

Sandy Riner 's excellent ban jo playing brought back the aura of the Old South, often missing In Showboat vaudeville. The best thing about Riner. perhaps, were the delicate tones he was able to pro-duce on his banjo—a fa r cry f rom the brassy, rinky-tlnk Eddie Pea -body style.

Riner part icularly delighted the audience with his rendition of "12th Street Rag"—performed with mittens. And watching the band 's bass and piiano players keep up with him was an education in music.

Last of the professional acts to appear were Max and Cherie. an acrobatic duo whose seemingly-art-less falls and judo flips were little short of amazing. Cherie 's Ace-bandaged knee made the routine seem all the more dangerous.

Endmen Belt Songs

Rounding out the show were the vocal < forts of the six endmen, ranging f rom the powerful bass voice of Bill Reynhout and the lyr-ical rendition of "Sunny Side of the S t ree t" by Ron Weeks to Dick McNeal 's well done "Black Bot-t o m , " whloh featured a fine coun-ter-melody f rom the chorus, Loren Wohlford's "When My Sugar Walks Down the Street ," Ron Hoist 's fril-Iv-aproned "Big. Bad 6 iU" and Steve NisLct's "Slowpoke."

But we missed the Flat River harmonies of the Endman Sextet, a Showboat tradition In past years .

The chorus this year participated In all the endmen's numbers with gusto, using such eye-catching de-vices as f inger snapping lock step, standing up and sitting down on cue, etc. A special t reat was a debonair soft-shoe dance perform-ed by five Gentlemen of the Cho-rus during Week's number .

Vocal a r rangements for the sing-ers were done by Mrs. Anita Wal-ter, wife of the music director.

And backing it all up were the members of the on-stage band, a group of Grand Rapids musicians who replaced last year ' s Mary Kay and organ.

Sparking the band was a tuba player whose oompahs added a much needed solidity to the sound.

There were a few drawbacks to the Monday nitjhf performance, of c o u r s e - It would be nice to see the high school band in uniform, and Interlocutor Bucky seemed slightly unnerved by microphone peccadil-loes.

But by the end of the week the wrinkles should be Ironed out and the 1963 edition should shape up to be another •'mighty good shew."

(Thin Is one of a norios of pub-lic artlclrH explaining in gen-eral temiM a provlnlon of Mich-igan laiV. IndividualH who wish to de te rmine the e f fec t of any law upon their p r iva te legal af-faint should consult a p r iva t e at torney.)

One of the legal p rob lems that perplexes m a n y people holding property on our lakes and s t r e a m -has to do wi th w h a t their r ights a re in relat ion to the lake beds and wate r which flows over them.

When a person buys a p iece of property on a r iver , does he own any part of the bed of the r iver and can he keep the public f r o m using the s t r e a m for boating, fish-ing and wading?

Many yea r s ago ou r S u p r e m e Court decided that it would be to the economic benefit of the Sta te if the r ipar ian owner, that is, one who owns proper ty which touches the wa t e r of a r iver or lake, also own Ihe bed. Ordinari ly, his own-ership extends to the middle of the s t ream or to a point in the middle of the lake. This does not m e a n , however, tha t he can impede o r obstruct t he public f r o m naviga t ing the s t r eam and in some cases the lake.

We all know tha t ou r s t r e a m s were used fo r the floating of logs during t imber-cut t ing days . These logs were floated down to the lakes and f r o m the re sawed into lumber and shipped all ove r the country. This w a s possible because the Supreme Court also decided that even though the owners along our s t r e a m s own title to the beds, the State has a public t rus t in the water for the purposes of nav iga-tion and commerce .

Later in the 1920 s the court de-cided that this t rus t also included the right of the public to f ish and to wade up and down our s t r e a m s , as Is done by t rout f i shermen . The court said tha t this public t rus t was a high, solemn and Inalienable trust . It based this decision on the fact that recrea t ion is impor tan t to the economy of the State and thaf if the public w e r e not allowed freely to use our r ive r s for r ec r ea -tional purposes , this impor tan t economic benefi t would be impai r -ed.

So a s you wade up one of our s t reams , e i ther to f ish or jus t fo r the fun of It, or if you take a canoe t r ip on the mighty Au Sable, r emember tha t you a r e pro tec ted In your r ight to do so by the public t rus t which the S ta te h a s jn its navigable wa te r s .

to get the two silver dollars. The judges Elmer Schaefer, I^ow-

ell industrialist; Stephen Nisbef. Superintendent of Schools; and Ralph Townsend, Lowell City May-or ; had their work cut out for them when the 30 boats loaded with f ishermen and an adult sup-ervisor anchored at shore.

The young anglers who left the Moose I-odge at 8:30 n. m. and launched their boats at 9:15 were t reated by the Moose when their "chuck wagon" arr ived at 11:35. Forty pounds of hamburg, 300 hot-dogs, and over 400 bottles of pop were consumed, before the kids departed homeward.

Extend Thanks

The Moose Civic Affairs Com-mit tee would like at this time to express their appreciation to the Lowell Ledger for their fine co-operation on publicity for th? der-by, and also the Safety Program, the remodeling of the grandstands, the Chr is tmas program; and over the past ten years. Without the help of our local paper, these civic a f fa i r s would be next to im-possible.

The commit tee also wishes to thank King Doyle for the use of his semi and driver to haul the boats to and from the lake; Robert Forst of the Y. M. C. A. for his very fine effor ts in furnishing the buses for the occasion; Bill Rich-a rds of the Kent County Sheriff 's Depar tment ; Herman Kline of the Lowell Police Depar tment ; and to all of those who loaned their boats and life jackets.

It is this very fine cooperation from the people of our community that helped us to m a k e this and our other p rograms a success.
