Sophomore President is Teen of Week '• • ' V • . V .

This week's honored teen per-aonallty is Jean Bishop, president of the sophomore class. Active In school and community she is a very fine choice for this special recommendation.

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al-bert Bishop of Cascade, Joan attended Cascade school up to the ninth grade and then trans-ferred to Lowell to receive her high school education.

In her two years at Lowell she has been busy in school and class activities b e i n g elected class secretary her freshman year and president this year a-long with an exoffido Student Council post.

As a freshman she was chosen to represent the froth on the queen's court. Also in her first year here she Joined t h e band and general choir, thus showing her muscial bent

An honor roll student, Joan also is active in extra-curricular activities. She is a 6th year and rcrvice club member of 4H and is active In her church, the Christian Reformed Church of Cascade.

Besides her hobbies of photo-graphy, drawing, and outdoor sports, our teen still finds time to serve her community and country as a volunteer ground observer and has credit for 100 hours with the Cascade post.

With all these fine recom-mendations we feel sure that Joan will complete her final two years at Lowell with ease, and will satisfy her ultimate am-bition of becoming a nurse.

but never forget that to abuae them la to deatroy them, t Don't a»k government to do anything you aan do for youraetf.

Th« blrrer the governmenL the smaller the people.

Don't rely on somebody else to do your thinking f o r you. Democracy demands mental alertneas from those who deaerve to have 1L

PROTECT YOUR RIGHT to be governed by men of your choice by choosing them with the aame care that you do your friends.

Protect your own right to be wrong by a decent reaped for the opinions of others.

Htrive for new ways to spread the benefits ond ownership of our Industrial democracy and to give everyone a greater sense of participation and accomplishment.

Remember that a classless society Is the essence of democracy. A class struggle Is Its mortal enemy.

HEED THE RULE of democracy that It works best from the bottom up. When It works well at the community level It will func-tion smoothly at the top.

Remember that change and experiment are the foods on which democracy thriven. But don't renouno proven good for a glib promise.

Remember that the bargain counter days for democracy are over, and that our democracy Is on display before a questioning world. Each of us Is Ita custodian.

Thaw Pipes With Water, Not Flame

If you have to thaw water pipea thia winter don't do It with a blow torch.

Don't try it with lye or drain solvents either.

With a blow torch or open flame, •here's too great a danger of start-ing a fire In the cobwebs and dust particles around pipes, warns Rich-ard G. Pflster, extension farm safety specialist at Michigan State University. And with lye. the pipe area above the frozen part would corrode without doing much thaw-ing of Ice.

The most practical pipe thaw method for moat farm families Is hot water poured on several layers of cloth wrapped around the pipe, according to Pflster. Thermal tape does a good Job, too, and it's in-expensive, Infrared heat lamps, Pflster says, work—the ones with red glass In front arc the better.

One of the best gadgets for tak-ing care of frozen pipes, though, Pflster believes. Is a farm-type welder—If It's In a handy place.

Just put the ground clamp on the pipe four feet ahead of the elect-rode. Turn the switch on for 20 seconds at a time—no longer for a farm-type welder—and the four-foot pipe area w 11 heat up like an elec-tric cable. Don't overheat the pipe.
