Mr. Fisher was introduced by George Bentley who taught school for many years in Livonia town- ship. The theme of Mr. Fisher's talk was the, "Rule of Three," which he stated, "Can be traced from Biblical times to the pre- sent day. The `Big Three' can be found in the Constitution of the state of Michigan and they are `Religion, Morality and Know- ledge' " In continuing he elaborated on the three, `Religion is the reach- ing out for something higher and is our duty to God. Morality is man's duty to man -fellowship and a function of Rotary. Knowledge is acquiring information. All' of these are necessary for good gov- ernment." The Superintendent then point- ed out that the wealth of a com- munity , is dependent on three things, Native Ability, Natural Resources and Acquired Ability. The first two remain more or less constant and the third, Acquired Ability, must be improved in order that our standard of living improve. That can only be done through education and the con- tinuous search for knowledge. The new officers, Walter Clark, Dr. O. L. Brooker, Elmore Me - Niece Arthur Jenkins and the Board of Directors took over for the ensuing year. * Lightning Causes Slight Damage Slight damage was caused by lightning to the barn on the prop- erty occupied by Mr. Wm.

Defrost Your Refrigerator Often to Save Food (Continued from 'sage 1) for and the foods stored in it, Irma H. Gross, head of the de- partment of home management at Michigan State college, says to defrost it often and defrost it be- fore the frost becomes a quarter of an inch thick. Thick frost slows down the cooling of foods and may send the temperature up even though the refrigerating system works hard- er than usual. Before defrosting, remove the freezer -trays. Be sure the drip tray is empty and in place to catch the water as the frost melts. Don't try to speed up the ae- frosting by putting hot water in the freezer trays while the con- trol is set at "defrost' or "off" unless it is recommended by your manufacturer. Check the direc- tions booklet or check with the manufacturer before using hot water. Never use anything sharp to chip frost from the evaporator or to loosen the ice -cube trays be- cause this may injure the coils that hold the freezing fluid. In Sar.

If you were born between these dates. you are of a restless, changeable dis- position, leading a life of inces- sant activity: reserved, strongly imaginative, religious and moral. You are possessed with an un- conquerable thirst for sympathy, but on account of your taciturn disposition you will often be mis- understood, yet your friends will be many and faithful. Travels will be long and profiable, and you will meet with unexpected success upon some of them. After the age of 35 there will be a change in your life from good to bad or vice -versa, after which your life will be more settled and steady. The subject should not wait for his kindred to push him on to suc- cess, as he will have to stand on his own laurels and his success will depend upon his own efforts. You will have many troubles and, worries but unexpected assistance will always spring up at the final moment. You will have a repu- sion against marriage and when entered into is apt to be unsatis- factory. You will be endowed with excellent health. If born in a southern climate this sign gives you a lymphatic bilious tempera- ment, and in a northern climate a lymphatic -nervous disposition.

The plan should anticipate the worst possible dis- aster that could happen in that locality. In any case, where a hazardous operation is contemplated, these actions should be reported to the local fire department so that plans can be laid in the event of an accident. It is much easier and safer to work out plans to PRE- VENT a disaster that it is to combat it after it has happened. In the case of Texas City Fire, many .points enter into the pos- siblity that great loss of life and property would have been avert- ed had more knowledge regard- ing the hazards of ammonium nitrate been available. Also if smoking had been prohibited on the dock and on the boats. Do not be careless or surround yourself with a sense of false security when danger is apparent or possible.

But Great Lakes fishing still would be free to residents, ana resident anglers' wives still could "ride free" on their husbands' "tickets." In 1948 nonresidents would pay $2 for 10 days, $3 for the year. Fishing license sales in May recovered some from the slump in April in spite of continuing bad weather, but on May 31 still were seven per cent behind the comparable first five months of 1946. Part- ly because there w.,s a beaver season a year ago and none this year, total revenue for the first five months of 1497 is 11 per cent—$31,- 225.90 — short of the income in the first five months of 1947. It may be the high water hindering observation cold weather delaying spawning, scientific scrutiny screening out native lamprey reports, or ust an ofi year for sea lamprey runs. Whatever the rea- son, sea lampreys are not yet showing up in the numbers and places expected by conservation department fisheries men and their volun- teer cooperators. A year ago sea lampreys were reported in 68 streams. This sea- son, with scientific examination of specimens to make sure they are sea and not native lampreys, the number to date is less than 20 streams. The peak of the run came earlier a year ago; at Manistique where thousands were trapped in 1946 they have yet to make an ap- pearance. But with the season running "a full month late," close watch for spawning runs of the fish -damaging parasites is being maintained where streams empty into the Great Lakes. Interest now centers on southern Michigan streams. There was no serious winterkill last season, and inland lakes throughout the state have plenty of water. The late spring may have delayed some spawning. The conservation department reports the regulations are un- changed. On June 25 the lakes south of highway M-46 from Muskegon to Port Sanilac are open to fishing for all species of fish, and in lakes north of the highway-, where other fishing has been in progress, blue - gills and black ba3s become legal game. Bluegills and sunfish have a size limit of six inches a creel limit of 15. When taken in combination with perch, rock bass and crappies, the combined total is 25, but not moraw than 15 of these may be blue - gills. The black bass size limit, for both largemouth and smallmouth, is 10 inches, and the creel lmiit is five a day—with walleyed or northern pike counted as part of that five if any are taken. The Great Lakes limit is 10 a day—double the inland waters creel—but not more than five of the 10 may be bass, and not more than five of the 10 may be northern pike. Michigan was represented at the 15 -state Midwest Flood Con- trol Conference June 18-20 in, Indianapolis by Norman Billings, hydrogeologists of the conservation department's geological survey. Billings' selection was made by the state planning commission, after conferring with Governor Sigler and the conservation department. The Michigan man will give an account of this state's $4,000,000 spring flood, and of flood control studies underway here. State offic- ials across the country from West Virginia to Arkansas, and men from the army engineers and soil conservation service are attending, for the direct exchange of information and ideas. A late leg -band report from Indiana reveals a pheasant releas- ed in St. Joseph county in April, 1946, was shot in November near Lakeville, 10 miles south of South Bend, after wandering 38 miles in seven months. Ordinarily, pheasants planted by the conservation de- partment remain within a mile or two of the point of release. Michigan sport fishermen now have 330 pieces of shoreline prop- erty in 72 of the state's 83 counties, most of them bought with their own license money, where their right of access for fishing is guaran- teed forever. The new directory of public fishing sites just issued by the con- servation department's fish division lists 226 sites on lakes, 104 on .streams. Together they have a total area of 42,223 acres, a total front- age of 150 miles. Frontage purchases are made with the "40 -cent fund" provided by Act 337 of 1939 which earmarkes 40 cents. of the fishing license dollar for this purpose and for lake and stream improvements and research. The first years' purchases have been made where intensive private development most seriously threatened to prevent the ordi- nary fishermen from driving to the water's edge, and now constitute an important though small part of the water frontage open to fisher- men. Besides the sites purchased, a number have been dedicated from among tax reverted lands that came into state ownership. Eighty of these sites have been improved, with entrance reads, parking lots, toilets and wells provided where use. of the site Nvar- rants one or more of these improvements. Another 126 sites were usable in their natural condition when the conservation department bought them. Necessary improvements at the remaining sites are being made as time and funds permit. James Walker, park range in Fort Wilkins state park doesn't just tell park patrons where the trout fishing is good, he shows them. Recently he took a 20 -inch trout weighing 71/2 pounds from Fanny Hooe creek, a week later got a second almost as large. The 92 members of the Michigan Audubon society who spent three days in the conservation .department's group camp at Lake Ocqueoc identified 103 different species of birds, besides seeing deer, beaver and muskrats, in their hikes about the area. A buck deer that killed himself by poking his head through a woven_ wire fence 3 miles north of Watson picked just the wrong -week to reach for the greener grass on the other side. District game manager Gene Hesterberg reports the buck's antlers were 31/2 inches long. A week earlier they would have been short enough for him to have withdrawn his head; a week later they would have been too long for him to have got his head in the mesh.

Garden Ceremony Marks Afternoon Wedding (Continued from page, l) Kenneth Maton, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, served his brother as best man and seating the guests were John S. Ritz and Rudolph Rudicel. For her daughter's wedding Mrs. Cusick chose a gown of rose crepe. Her small hat and acces- sories were of white, while Mrs. .Maton's gown was of gray crepe, with pink accessories. Both had corsages of Happy Day roses. The receiving line formeo on the upper terrace and from mere the guests entered the home the view the gifts displayed. Supper was later served on the lower terrace of the garden. Among the 150 guests to ex- tend good wishes to the bridal couple were several from out of town: Mr. and Mrs. Morris Men- zies of Amherstberg, Ontario, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Maton of Win- nipeg, Rev. and Mrs. Rollings of Walled Lake and the Baron and Baroness Wimmersperg of Vienna, Austria. For traveling the bride's suit was of champagne gabardine with white accessories. The young couple will tour through Canada to Lake Louise and Banff, and return through Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. In Denver, Night Clerk H. E. Baker still awaited, not very hopefully, the return of a self- possessed thief who sauntered in- to the Drexel Hotel lobby some days ago, coolly selected the largest, shiniest spittoon, tucked it under his arm and walked out with the parting reassurance: "Don't get excited, I'll bring it back in a minute."

Quack Grass Killed By New Chemical MSC Scientist Says Quackgrass may meet its doom with a new -chemical tested by R. 1'. Carlson, research specialist in horticulture at Michigan State college. His experiments .were re- ported in a recent issue of the Quarterly Bulletin of the Michi- gan Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion. The chemical has a t o n g u e twisting name—isopropylphenyl- carbamate. but it has been nick- named "IPC." It as a wartime development by U. S. army scien- tists who found that it would check or kill some of the cereals. Since grasses and cereals are closely related. Carlson quack - grass -the number one grass pest. TAXI 24 Flour Service Phone EVergreen 0020 Wednesday, July 9, 1947 When he treated quackgrass roots with the IPC, Carlson found that they were killed by almost any concentration of the weed- killer. Roots treated with a solu- tion made with as little as 100 parts of the IPC to one million parts of water grew almost no new shoots. When treated with more than 500 parts per million, there was no growth at all. Since IPC is a fairly new de- , velopment, care has to be ex- ercised hen using it: Some -exper- iments by the U.S. Department of Agriculture have shown that it will interfere with useful grasses if the soil is dry.
