I fun for Clinton, tri-county kids
By LOWELL RINKER, Editor
If 1,500 children learned anything about
nature at Woldumar last Thursday, it
probably concerned how fickle Mother
Nature can be in developing weather.
The children, from all parts of Clinton,
Ingham and Eaton counties, shivered in
windy 30-degree-plus weather and tried to
fight off chilling effects of a light drizzle
in their face and snow under their feet.
It was kind of an island of winter in an
otherwise calm sea of spring.
But It didn't bother many of the sixth
graders that much and the lesson of
dressing warm was only one that most of
them brought back from their four-hour
visit at Woldumar. Despite the weather
most of them got to plant trees and take a
nature study tour over parts of the 179-
acre conservation-education area on the
Grand River southwest of Lansing.
Woldumar is two years old this spring.'
Most of the acreage was donated by Mrs
Gladys Olds Anderson to provide an op-
portunity for children to study and wonder
and understand about nature. Nature Way
Assn. is in charge of management of the
center in cooperation with the intermed-
iate boards of education of Clinton, Ingham
and Eaton counties.
The occasion last Thursday was .World
Conservation Day, co-sponsored by Nature
Way Assn. and the Greater Lansing United
Nations Assn. During the program the
Michigan Conservation Department desig-
nated Woldumar as a conservation educa-
tion reserve.
Some 60 foreign students" from Michi-
gan State University were on hand and
participated in'the day's events with the
youngsters.
Several busloads of Clinton County sixth
graders were among the 1,500 youngsters
on hand last Thursday. Two loads were
there from the E.E. Knight Elementary
School at Elsie, and there were groups al-
so from Ovid Elementary School and De-
Witt Elementary School.
Smaller groups were present from St.
Johns, Pewamo-Westphalia andGunnison-
vllle. _
The day's program started about 10:15
with a program down in a grassy valley
east of the main entrance to Woldumar,
with Len Stuttman as master of cermonies.
Among the prominent persons there were
Jim Rouman, executive director of the
Michigan United Conservation Clubs; Ozz
,Warbach, conservation illustrator for the
Michigan Conservation Department; Dr
Donald Zlnn, president of the National
Wildlife Federation; and Mrs Richard
Brlgham, vice president of the board of
Nature Ways Assn. and naturalist at the
Carl G. Periner Arboretum.

DeWITT — A dozen DeWitt
High School teachers and school
administrators spent about two
hours last Tuesday talking over
"better communications" b e -
tween the teachers and adminis-
tration.
The teachers contended they
need a bigger "say* in matters
involving such things as school
curriculum. Supt. James Ritchie
said teachers should not expect
to make decisions on their own,
and teachers responded thatthey
wanted to be consulted before
decisions are made.
Hard luck comes from sitting
around waiting for a miracle.

Clinton County's valuation in real and personal property
rose about 4.6 per cent during' the last year, according to a
report of the Clinton County Board of Supervisors' equal-
ization committee.
Total cash value of such property this year Is about
$259,361,842, compared to $247,368,332 in 1967. The figures
are based on a county equalized valuation (50 per cent of true
cash value) of $129,680,921 for the county this year and
$123,684,166 in 1967.
Almost half of the increase in valuation came in DeWitt
Township, where county equalized valuation rose $2,266,253
to $23,733,732. That would account for about $4,532,506 more
in actual cash value of real and personal property.
The equalization report was signed by County Equalization
Director Lorenz Tiedt and committee members GeraldShepard
(chairman) of Bath, Reginald E. Nelson of DeWitt Township,
Walter Thelen of Westphalia and Claude Underhill of Victor.

Seabee 'invasion improves
Girl Scout camp near here
Things are looking up at the
new Girl Scout campsite onParks
Road southwest of St. Johns after
an "invasion* over the weekend
by the Lansing Seabees unit.
With bulldozers, road graders
and muscles, the unit put in
drainage ditches, a new road, a
graveled parking lot and are
taking out dead t r e e s and will
spray for poison ivy and weed
trees.
The Seabees unit was camped
at the site west of Grove Road
both Saturday and Sunday, and
they will return this weekend
to complete their work.
The heavy construction equip-
ment was furnished by the Na-
tional Guard under the command
of Gen Clarence Schnipke, as-
sisted by Gen Carson R, Neifert
and the United States Army. Rep
Charles E. Chamberlain was in-
strumental In making the equip-
ment available.
The road grader was furnished
by Searles Excavating Co. of S t
Johns, The "muscle* was fur-
nished by the Seabees, whose
commander is Fred Copple, Lt
Edwin Novak and Chief Erwin
Wiborn directed the operations in
the field. Commander Fuller of
the Naval Reserve In Lansing1
worked closely with Gen Neifert
in coordination of this project.
The men also cut trees into
slabs for stepping stones and
into firewood lengths for the use
of the campers. They continued
work on the large red barn,
where they had previously built
new stairs to the loft and made
additional e x i t s according to
safety regulations. Their major
job in this area was installing
electricity.
WITHOUT THE many hours of
work by these men and the gen-
erosity of the suppliers of the
construction equipment, the Girl
Scouts would not be able to use
the camp, bought from the pro-
fits of the annual Girl Scout
cookte sales, until the council
could have sold enough cookies

New Homes at Old Address
When the family needs larger, more luxurious quarters, with an extra bath, a modern kitchen, more bedrooms, a
spacious family room — is it time to move? Nowadays, a great many homeowners would answer, "No!"
Many families are discovering that the best move toward achieving the aim of better, more comfortable living is not
to move at all. Instead, homeowners now look for, "and find, a "new home" at the old address. *
So says Eclgar V. Hall, executive director, National Home Improvement Council, who points out that interest in improv-
ing existing homes by remodeling — to increase livability, enhance appearance, upgrade value — is growing apace, and for
some sound reasons. By concentrating on a new kitchen, an extra bath, a room addition or modernization, homeowners find
that $hey are now able to have, in existing homes, the luxury features and advantages that they have always longed for —
and that usually come only with a new home. >>
The monthly payments for such improvements are substan-
tially less than for payments on a new home. In addition, the
family avoids the ordeal of moving,.
Current Conditions Spark Trend
While these are good reasons to remodel now, there are still
more powerful factors involved in the trend to "having a new
home at the old address," says Mr. Hall. A few of them are:
1. Mortgage money has been in limited supply, making it
difficult to buy a new home'. Although the mortgage situation
shows some signs of improvement, there 'are still relatively
few buyers for "used" homes, for the same "tight money" rea-
son. So, it's probably harder to sell the present home — there
just aren't enough buyers.
- The alternative of staying put and improving the existing
home is made still more attractive by the fact that availability
of funds for home improvement does not present a "tight
money" problem. There are numerous sources willing to lend
funds for remodeling projects.
2. Qualified remodeling contractors who can do expert work'
are on the increase. The industry has come of age, and the
unethical operator is disappearing. Because of the leveling off
of the new home market, more and more builders are turning
to -remodeling. And building materials 1 "dealers, realizing the EVEN IN THE LIVING ROOM, EXTERIOR plywood panels are

Lighting Holds Key to Room Remodeling
Homeowners looking for
room remodeling and decorat-
ing ideas might do well to con-:
sider this approach: Make
lighting the starting point.
Fixtures are available to fit
lighting and decorating needs
in any area of a room, and,
conversely, fixtures can inspire
decorating ideas.
Types of fixtures needed
should^e the first determina-
tion. For example, in a family
room, a pulldown-type fixture,
which can be raised or lowered
as the occasion demands, is
ideal for over-table lighting.
Recessed units in the ceiling
assure good general room
lighting and, attached to a
dimmer, can create a variety
of lighting moods. Hanging
pendants in a cluster furnish
a decorating focal point and
fill a definite need in a. hard-
to-decorate corner.
To meet requirements of
color and style, lighting units
are* available In "family"
groups, which provider range
of different fixture types in.
complementary colors, With
this "family" similarity, a va-
riety of fixtures can be used
In a room, while still main-
taining a definite continuity
between the various lighting
units.
Colors of the fixtures might
well inspire an imaginative
decorating scheme. For in-
instance, one fixture family
presents rJulldowns, recessed
units and pendants, in such
color combinations as deep
blue with light blue, or brown
with amber.
To set the color scheme for
a room, the deeper hue of the
fixture becomes an accent col-
or, while the lighter shade can
be used on broader expanses.

If Cash Is Question,
* t
Loan May Be Answer
Is that favorite home %/ im-
provement project scheduled
vaguely for "some time when
we have cash to spare"?
As many families know,
such a time rarely ever comes.
But home improvement
dreams can still become reali-
ties — especially if the mod-
ernization or expansion proj-
ect is of a type that will add
substantially to t h e resale
value of the home.
To determine whether a
specific improvement will in-
crease home resale value, it's
a good idea to consult the loan
officer of a full-service bank.
With a wealth of experience
in this field, he is in a position
to advise on such things as
whether t h e proposed im-
provement is worthwhile and
how much it's likely to cost.
When extra money is need-
ed, there are a number of ways
to borrow the necessary cash
for home improvements.
FHA Loans. The Federal
Housing Administration offers
two types of loans, short term
and long term. The short term
Title 1 loan is issued for per-
manent structural improve-
ments, in amounts up to $3,500
with five years to repay. Inter-
est is charged at five dollars
per hundred up to $2,500, four
dollars per hundred from
$2,500 to $3,500.
FHA long term loans, for
really extensive improvements,
provide for borrowing- up -to
$10,000, with up to 20 years to
repay, at six percent interest.-
If the house is less than 10
years old, the loan must be
used for such major structural
changes as adding a wing. If
it's more than 10 years old, the
homeowner can use the loan
to make any kind of improve-
ments he likes.
STEEL ROOFING
ALUMINUM AWNINGS
Bank Improvement Loans.
Banks offer their own home
improvement loans. Although
they cost slightly more than
the FHA loans, they are more
flexible, because the money
can be used for projects not
approved under Title 1. Inter-
est varies from five to seven
dollars per hundred a year.
'Open-End Mortgage Loan.
If the home mortgage contains
an open-end provision, this
could enable the homeowner
to borrow an amount equal to
what has already been paid
off.
Refinancing Present Mort-
gage. If the home mortgage
doesn't have an open-end pro-
vision, a solution may be to
retire the present mortgage
and take out a new one, for a
larger amount that will cover
cost of proposed home im-
provements.
Personal Bank Loan. Con-
sider this type of loan for
home improvements that do
not involve major expense.
There should be no difficulty
in getting the loan, if the bor-
rower has a steady income
and a reliable record of pay-
ing his bills on time.

sections of the country? Is it
desalinization of sea water?
Not in the foreseeable fu-
ture, say water experts. Look
to the nation's ground water
t resources, they advise.
More than 97 perdent of the
world's fresh water is under-
ground, says the Plumbing-
Heatlng-Cooling Information
Bureau. Less than three per-
cent is on the surface in lakes,
rivers and streams. The five
Great Lakes combined have
less fresh water than is to be
found beneath the state of
Florida.
In terms of the individual
homeowner, this means: Drill
a well!
About 20 million families, or
more than 25 percent of the
U.S. population, get all or part
of their water supply from
underground via individual
wells. At least 50,000 wells are
drilled each year to serve as a
supplemental source of water
for families that are on muni-
cipal lines, in areas where
chronic shortages curtail
water use. *
This number is expected to
increase substantially in the
• next couple of years, and so is
the use of underground water
by municipalities themselves.

Search to Save Work
Inspires Decked Yards
' Man's search for the finer things of life should receive much
credit for the invention of labor-saving devices. "But oftentimes
it is mankind's tendency to laziness which serves as inspiration.
Washing machines and golf scooters are but two of the won-
drous inventions inspired by, if not laziness, at least a willing-
ness to work less. And many outstanding landscaping designs
also fit into this category. ,
For example: wood-decked yards. To the man with the
lawn mower,, the back yard seems acres square regardless of its
actual size, and the continuous chore of mowing, trimming and
watering usually requires more weekend time than he wants
to devote to it. So here's a cure-all: supplant leaves of grass
:
with planks of wood.,
.As with all such innovations,
the wood deck has evolved
from a simple porch-like af-
fair to an outdoor room as so-
phisticated as the homeowner
wishes.
NOW
Variations in design are
abundant, limited only by the
imagination. , With such an
easily-tailored material as
wood, patio decks can be made
in any size or shape and to fit
any niche in the yard.
Several decks serving differ-
ent purposes might be built,

Additions 'Fence Me
Hold Key In'Time
To Luxury Now Here
, Luxury additions to a house
may or may not add markedly
to its resale value, but they add
inestimably to its use. Once the
second bathroom is added and
the kitchen is improved, it's the
swimming pool, the greenhouse,
the sauna,, the barbecue area or
garden living room that make a
house a home. ^
More leisure and more money
make all these contributions to
the good life a possibility, no
longer a dream, to millions of
homeowners. #
Swimming pools are a dramatic
example of the growth of lux-
urious living in' America of the
'60's. Nine years ago, according
to the National Swimming Pool
Institute', there were 87,500 resi-
dential pools in the country. This
year the number has grown to
more than half a million.
Ways to Finance
Financing a luxury addition—
whether swimming pool or tennis
court—can be done in a number
of ways.
Banks will make home, im-
provement loans for property im-
provements that they consider
realistic—that is, in line with the
money value of the house. Aver-
age interest rates vary from five
to seven dollars per $100 dis-
counted in advance. Repayment
time usually goes up to five
years for $5,000.
However, the low-cost FHA
loans, .available for some struc-
tural improvements, do not ap-
ply to "luxury" improvements.
Get Three Estimates
Contractors, too, will make im-
provement loans through their
own banks. The home improver
should shop for a contractor,
getting at least three cost esti-
mates. Once a contractor is
chosen, he may arrange the fi-
nancing for the addition. '
Contractors' loan rates are six
to nine dollars per $100 discount-
ed in advance. More expensive
. than bank loans, these loans are
useful when the borrower for
some reason cannot get a loan
himself or simply wants to save
time and legwork.
The homeowner who is fortu-
nate—or foresighted—enough to
have an open-end mortgage can
borrow for home improvements
up to the amount that has al-
ready been paid off.

turn to "exterior decorating"
— landscaping, garden, build-
ing and furnishing a patio or
terrace, developing games
areas.
While such activities are
under way, it's a good time to
consider a-fence, to set off the
home and its surroundings,'
like a frame around a picture,
to provide privacy and secur-
ity, to define boundaries and
to protect against wind.
Among the many types of
fencing, some choices are:
Steel Fencing
Functional steel fencing
comes in a variety of colorful
and artistic forms, and gives
the advantages of durability,
-easy installation, little main-
tenance and low cost.
One of the most versatile
steel fences is the chain-link
type, a "garden trellis" design
made of steel chain-link mesh
with a vinyl coating. The coat-
ing gives extra protection.
Chain link fences do double
duty, in performing the func-
tions of a- fence and allowing
a high degree of visibility. If
more privacy is desired, the
link fence can serve as a trellis
for vines, roses a n d other
climbing plants..
Stock steel parts are avail-
able for do-it-yourself fence
design and construction. Con-

vacy but do not cut off light
can be created with translu-
cent fiberglass-plastic panels,
used in combination with wood
or even cement blocks.
Such a fence may take many
shapes and designs, bringing
a "decorator touch" to the
home setting or outdoor living
area. Colors include a range
of soft pastels and deeper hues.
Oriental "shoji" effects may
be created with flat, white
fiberglass-plastic panels and
black wood rails. Or, flat and
corrugated panels may be
combined, again using wool
rail framing. Basketweave ef-.
fects can also be achieved.
The panels have a smooth
finish t h a t makes them dirt

Many owners of older homes '
have turned to re-siding as
the surest way to strip years
from their homes' appearance.
In the process, they've elim-
inated burdensome mainte-
nance chores.
A new exterior of mineral
fiber siding, for example, will
add a bright, fresh appearance
to a dull-looking home that
will last many years.
Mineral fiber's textured sur- ^^ J'
face is pre-flnlshed with a
long-lasting plastic acrylic
color coating that can be re-
stored periodically simply by
washing it down.

When installed over an in-
sulating backer, it provides an
extra-husky shadowline and
additional insulation for ex,-

Re-siding makes real eco-

owners. By adding up the es-

Mayers' milk operation

Correction mode in

An error in the listings of the
DHIA report for March lastweek

proving efficient so far

By LOWELL RINKER
Editor
. You'll never know it by count-
ing the cows out in the fields, but
Ray Mayers out on West Kinley
Road has a big dairy business go-
ing. It's costing him some money,
\ but with his new set-up now in
operation, for about six months,
he's beginning to see where he
can make money with it.
The reason there are few cows
around is that most of the herd is
confined to a^ 50 x 186-foot pole
building. They eat, sleep andgive
milk there, and by many cam-
parisoris they Ought to be con-
tented cows.
The public is being invited to
look at the Mayers set-up during
an operi'house today (Thursday)
at the Raymond Mayers and Sons
farm at 5395 W. Kinley Road, just
west of Grove Road\ in Bengal
Township.
Discussion periods will be held-
at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. John
Speicher and R o b e r t Maddex,
dairy and agricultural engineer-
ing specialists from Michigan
State University, will be present
to help with the discussion and to
answer q u e s t i o n s . Equipment
suppliers and contractors will al-
so be present from 10:30 a.m. to
3:30 p.m.
MAYERS' NEW facilities-put
into use for the first time last
Dec. 5—will handle 100 cows in
about two hours. The large barn
includes free stalls,feeding area,
holding area and milking parlor,
„ all under one roof, and a milk
droom.
Special features include liquid
manure handling, 100 per cent
corn silage for roughage, high
moisture corn and other features.
"We visited several, other op-
erations around the state before
deciding that this is what we
Mayers said. This has been a
tremendous advantage in the five
months of operation so far, he
said.
The south end of the building
has a large door through which
can be driven a tractor with
scraper blade, and manure can be
scraped into a huge concrete pit
beneath the building thatwillhold
up to 120,000 gallons of liquid
manure. Since it has been in use,
the pit has been emptied only
once, and that took only a day and
a half.
THE MANURE TANK is eight
feet deep, 20 feet wide and 100
feet long, running cross-ways of
the building. The tank was made
of 15 chunks of pre-cast concrete
that weighed 18 tons and had to be
delivered,by a round-about route
to a v o i d c o u n t r y brldgesthat
wouldn't take the weight.
"This will hold all the cow
manure for threemonths," May-
e r s said, 'and this can be real
great if we get caught in the spring
when we can't spread in the
fields."
Mayers' full 100-cowherd,ex-
cept those that are dry, will be
housed in the building. The herd
i s split, with new milk cows on
one side and others that thave
been milked for some time and
a r e drying off on the other side.
This enables Mayers to feed more
grain to the high producers.
"Our DHIA records tell us to
feed the high producers a" little
more," Mayers said. wYou don't
feed each one individually, but you
can split the herd. In other words,
there aren't too many dollars to
be made, but if you can chisel a
little here and there you can make
it."
A bulk feeder down the center
of the barn keeps the cows fed.
There's enough corn, silage and
hay in the three silos next to the
cattle in there," Mayers r e -
MAYERS DOESN'T anticipate
turning his cows out to pasture at
all. The building is equipped with
skylights, and the doors have
Windows of light material and
clear fiberglass. a So the fact
they're inside shouldn't affect
production." There is window
material, also, In front of every
other bed. »Boards at the front of
the free stalls prevent the cows
from pushing the steel siding off

Cancer: an 'action; gap
The* American Cancer Society has r e -
peatedly pointed out that cancer is no
longer an automatic death sentence. F a r
from it. It is, in fact, one of the most
curable of major disease.
Yet the Society also points out that
about 100,000 Americans will die of cancer
this year^needlessly. That is the shocking
part: that one little world," "needlessly."
For if those 100,000 had had their disease
diagnosed and treated in time, chances are
they would be alive and well.
Why won't they be ?
Many—perhaps most—of them, have
doubtless heard of the need for early
diagnosis and treatment. Thanks largely
to the cooperation of the nation's p r e s s ,
the Society has been able to bring its life-
saving message to the attention of a big
percentage of the American people. Great
numbers of people know that something
should—and can—be done about cancer.
They have "gotten the message."
The trouble is, too often they don't act
on it.
Just why many of us don't act to save
our lives is a puzzle. The Cancer Society
has been trying to discover why through
a public opinion survey which was con-
ducted to find out how people regard cancer
Weekly newspapers
are worth reading
With all due respect to the vast, in-
formative daily newspapers which influence
the thinking of millions of Americans, I
sincerely believe that the'community weekly
newspaper is actually closer to the people.
The area without a newspaper is a sad
affair.
Its residents are denied one of the im-
portant things in life,
| Their information of world and national t
t affairs comes from aircasts and is brief.
The opportunity to turn back a page
or two to read a paragraph a second time
is missing.
It is sad that economic conditions are
shrinking the number of daily newspapers.
In many cities, the opportunity to gain two
or even three sides to a problem through
the editorial thinking of several trained
observers and editors is lost.
But the weekly newspaper continues
to thrive as do our suburban dailies. In
Nassau County especially, weeklies are a
strong, vibrant voice in community affairs.
In studying a local problem, I often turn
to the pages of the local weekly newspaper.
There I find local thinking set forth. The
editor sets forth all sides, quoting this and
that local authority.
Quite often the hard working editor,
through perfect familiarity with the p r o -
blem, can size it up neatly and concisely.
The weekly press is the hometown
voice and conscience of our country. It
hasn't the far flung organization of the big
daily. Often one, two or three p e o p l e
gather news, write it; edit it, write the
headlines and do the makeup.
More power to them.
Advertisers long have recognized the
effect of local weekly newspapers on a
community. The local weekly stays in the
house all week. It's an excellent medium
and supplements the daily. Let's help it
prosper. » Make my system quite antique, •

HOPPER
By Steven Hopko
Every week your C l i n t o n
County News carries a small
box, usually on the front page,
listing the total In traffic fatal-
ities to date for the year and the
-( same number for the preceding
year. t pens to the other guy, but not to
At the end of 1966 this box had
a total for the year of 14. At the
end of 1967 it had improved to
the figure of 12.
THIS YEAR, 1968, for some
reason is different. If you haven't
already, take a lookatthisweek's
box. Then stop and think about it
a little while. So far in 1968, four
months, we' have had in Clinton
County more traffic fatalities
than in all of 1967 and are at the
doorstep of catching up with the
, whole of 1966.^
In l e s s than four months we
have recorded 13 fatalities where
in this same period in 1967 we
had recorded only two. What are
the reasons? I'm not sure I know.
But, whatever the reason or r e a -
sons, It is something we should
all think about.
Possibly, one of the reasons it
i s or could be, i s that we have
become too accustomed totraffic
fatalities. We hear of an accident
that takes one, two or threellves
and think "man, that's rough," and
then forget the whole incident. It
can't happen to me, we say. Yet,
with the percentage of increase
we are having in the county, the
chance that it will happen to us
i{ also increases.
Statistics prove that most ac-
cidents do happen within 25 miles
of where we live. If you travel a
dozen miles in any direction from
St. Johns or most Clinton County
communities you are still within
the county. Thus, statistically
speaking, if we are to be involved
in a fatal accident, the chances
are it will happen within Clinton
County.
We still hear people talk of the
terrible fatality lists that are
caused by war. Yet, for all of
our terrible wars, that we as a
nation have been involved in,
dating back to our war of Inde-
' pendence, one hundred ninetytwo
years.ago, wejiaye^wjth the aufcoy
mobile causedmore deaths on our,
highways in a period of only about'
sixty years. Our casualty list
for our highways makes war
look like a game our youngsters
play.
Death on the highway has be-
come too commonplace. It hap-
pens everyday and we have just
become too accustomed to hear-
ing about it, and as long as we are
JUPt . i n v o l v e d directly or In-
directly, we pass it off as some-
thing that "just happens" and
doesn't concern us.
Of the many reasons for the
increase in a c c i d e n t s , better

and what have you, it still all
bolls down to the fact that these
fatal accidents have become part
of our,way of life, an" everyday
occurrence, something that hap-
me. If we stop to consider the
fact, that If we are to be in-
volved in a fatal accident, the
odds are that it will happen to
us in Clinton County. Thus, this
tremendous i n c r e a s e in our
county's fatalities should make
us all .more aware of the fact
that the next time it could be

Indifference will never make

Report tells fiscal
status at end of 1967
Clinton County's general fund
s i t u a t i o n didn'timproveany
during 1967, according to County
Treasurer^Velma Beaufore's r e -
cent report to the board of super-
visors.
The figures didn't phase the
board any; they merely con-
firmed what supervisors already
knew.
A $201,303.10 debit in the tax
anticipation note fund offset a
$113,430.71 balance in the gen-
eral fund as of Dec. 31. The
County had borrowed the money
to meet 1967 obligations. The
figures were merely a year-end
balance on paper and did not
necessarily reflect the cash-on-
hand situation.
G e n e r a l fund c o l l e c t i o n s
during 1967 totaled $754,438.69,
Mrs Beaufore said, including
$5,304.40 from the county s h e r -
iff; $9,440.87 from the county
clerk; $9,779.20 from the Zoning
Department; $4|448.50 from the
now defunct abstract department;
$1,235.50 from the, health d e -
par tment;.^$23,9,5 8.8 7. from the
'regisj^ryof deeds; $12,261.83
from the judge of probate; $1,922
from the p r o b a t i o n officer;
$2,590 from the friend of the
court; and $683,497.52 from the
teasurer's office itself.
Mrs Beaufore analyzed the
treasurer's r e c e i p t s listing

Green grass is notonlypretty,

sod industry, leads the nation
in sod production. ,
The industry that makes a

climb from less than 1,000 acres
grown in 1955 to 22,000 in 1968.
