The youngsters would no doubt just as soon have the snow, with the skating and sledding that goes along with it, if the furry creature casts a shadow, and puts a spell on us for six more weeks of winter But, if these youngsters have to shovel much snow for the folks, they may feel differently unless, of course, they make a little money that way. At any rate whether we like It or not, Saturday Is Ground Hor Day, and we will just have to take what nature has In store for us—good or had. Anyone want to go to Florida?

One of the biggest problems which ladles suffer when trying to put on meals at the Lowell City Hall Is that the cupboard Is bare— and we don't mean food, we mean dishes. It seems that. Innocent as it may be, folks take left-overs home In the dishes following dinners ind then forget to bring them back. Recently a group went down to work at the Hall to prepare for a TwoloweliMen Named Directors .

The meeting was held at the possible trip. From these six Joan was selected by a board of teach- ers. and an alternate, Ann Ster- ling Mullen, was also named.

likes and dislikes, there will be two different wishes about whether old Mr. Ground Hog sees his shadow this Saturday or not.

The youngsters would no doubt just as soon have the snow, with the skating and sledding that goes along with it, if the furry creature casts a shadow, and puts a spell on us for six more weeks of winter But, if these youngsters have to shovel much snow for the folks, they may feel differently unless, of course, they make a little money that way.

At any rate whether we like It or not, Saturday Is Ground Hor Day, and we will just have to take what nature has In store for us—good or had. Anyone want to go to Florida?

One of the biggest problems which ladles suffer when trying to put on meals at the Lowell City Hall Is that the cupboard Is bare— and we don't mean food, we mean dishes.

Is Cub Theme At Paekmeeting

The theme of the monthly pack-meeting of the Lowell Cub Scout Pack No. 3102 was "Eyes In the Sky ", for which each den present-ed a short skit, depicting what they had learned about the sur-rounding planets and satellites In this huge universe of ours.

The meeting was held at the

possible trip. From these six Joan was selected by a board of teach-ers. and an alternate, Ann Ster-ling Mullen, was also named. Ann Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Mullen, N. Jefferson st.

The other four students, all run-ners-up. were Judl Ellis, Sandy Bozung, Margaret Court and Jack Hartley.

The teachers, with the difficult job of selecting the winner, were Mr. Nisbet. Anna Mae Roth. Nor-man Gotschall. Jeanne Christian-sen, Pat Mullen, Esther June Lam-pen, Bob Perry. Orion Thaler and Kenneth Williams.

Now, Just WaiUng

Now, the difficult job Is to wait for news from A. F. S. In New-York City that the application of Miss Bishop has been okeyed.

The reason the award Is con-fined to junior students Is to en-able the student, after his or her trip to return lo Lowell, and pass on to fellow students the many things learned.

anything like it! Vou watch it sweeping by, this low-slung Swcpt-W'ing Dodge, and you know in an instant that nothing you have ever seen before can compare with it.

"Can this be real?" you ask yourself. "Can a car be so long and low and daring? So brilliantly styled?"

And w hat you see is matched only by what you'll feel when you actually put this beauty in motion.

T h e feel of the 3 1 0 hp. V-8 as you eat u p the road, '^he feel of Push-Button Torquc-Flite that packs a sillt-smocth^l-Z punch. The feel of Torsion-Aire Ride and Total-Contact Brakes that give you a new mastery of every driving situation.

And just imagine owning this Swept-Wing Dodge. The pride and pleasure youll experience every time you take the wheel is something that simply can't be measured in dollars and cents.

So stop in at your Dodge dealer's and ask for tbt keys to a Swcpt-W'ing Dodge. A few minutes behind the wheel will convincc you: You have never seen, felt, owned anything like U!

Th«y »how you why the new kind of Ford It worth moro

when you buy it, worth more when you tell HI

The secret of Ford's nationwide success is this: it's a new kind of F o r d . . . new from the wheels up . . . more than a last year'i model with a few "luce lift" changes. In a Ford the chassis, engine and body are individually engineered into one spacious rock-solid unit.

If you're a careful car-buyer with whom features count, count the new featnrei nf the '57 Ford. Then drive it! There's only

i one conclusion: the liveliest car in the low-price field is the ccmplcldy new

Ford. For the decisive facts see your Ford Dealer.

Greetings I r o n ) lhe Middle Branch of the Pere Marquette. As long as one has to rest, this is the perfect place.

One of the friends we became acquainted with at the hospital was Lloyd Bruce. 14 years old and from Romulus. He was shot by a 32 rifle while hunting with friends. The shot paralyzed him from the neck down. He loved the outdoors. We think it would make him feel better to receive some mall from our fine town. His address is simply University Hospital. Ann Arbor, Mich.

One of the finest men we have ever met is Joe Beach from Gar-den City. He was a husky 200 pound telephone lineman and ath-lete. It seems amazing that he could have lived through a 45 foot fall. He has now recovered except for paralysis from the waist down. He is married and has 5 children. He Is pleasant and has a quiet op-timism that springs 10 men's share of Intestinal fortitude.

Congratulations to coach Kemp-ker and the team. They must have played a wonderful game against East Grand Rapids.

The Pioneer coach hurriedly sent in the regulars for the final quarter to protect the rapidly di-minishing lead. The Arrows, led by the tremendous rebounding of Tony Stormzand and Jim Carr,
