The one notable difference thi s

"They are a l ot younger than has

Lt. Bradstreet estimates that
this year the Inmates average
about 23 years or age as compared to five years ago when the
average age was about 28 to 30.
Most or the men In Camp

Letters To The Editor

Blasts .Nixon] r- School Programs Are

An Open Letter To:

The Honorable Richard M. Nixon
President of the United States
washington, D.C.

....

Dear President Nixon:

Your
acceptance
of
an
tnvttatlon by Red Premier Chou
En-tat to visit China has come
as a shock to most u.s. citizens,
Including this legislator.
I am sure you were elected
because of the stand you took
against Communism and the collaboration with theCommunlstas
a private cltlzen. For you to make
a complete about face as our
President Is very unfortunate.
Our Nationalist Chinese allles,
who are most Immediately affected by your move, have term~
your visit "fooiJsh," shameful" and humtuatlng to you. I
am sure most Americans hang
their heads in shame, and we
owe an apology to our loyal
friends on Formosa and all anticommunist nations and peoples,
Including the subjugated slaves
In China, Russia, Cuba, East
Germany, Poland, Czechoslovalda, Hungary, North Korea,
Jugoslavia, Estonia, Latvia and
others who are hoping that the
United States of America would
realize their plight and cut off
all support to their gangsterous
slave masters.
But you, Mr. President, have
chosen to disregard all these
pleas and decided to drive a
knt!e Into the back of all our
loyal anti-communist friend s.
Will God Almighty ever be able

to forgive us for that?

You accepted the Invitation by
Premier Chou En-lat on July 15,
1971 ( 10:30 P.M. (washington
time} and the following was a
broadcast by Radio Peldng on
the same day, July 15, 1971,
I 0:45, only 15 minutes later:
"People of the world, unite and
defeat the u.s. aggressors and
all their running dogs."
Mr. President, must we as a
free nation of our own choosing
blindly subjugate ourselves to a
blood-thirsty, Godless rulershtp,
the enemies or all freedom of
the Individual?
I realize that I am not tell1ng
you anything new about the nature
of the Communists. You know
that as well as I. It Is simply
that I have had the unfortunate
"privilege" of the personal experience as a victim of that
devilish system.
The rulers of Red China have,
according to NBC news of
8/ 11/71 , ldlled from betv.oeen
35 and 69 mlllton Innocent Chinese people In order to solidify their brutal hold on these
subjects.
May I In the name of most of
my constituents ask you to reconsider, and not visit these
Communist rules of Red China.
My, and many other Americans prayer Is, please reconsider.
The favor of a reply Is requested.
Most respectfully yours,
Richard Friske
State Representative

SUNSET ON LlTTLE TRAVERSE

BAY
Shafts of gold come from the
West - from an orange sun which
seems so near yet Is so very far
away. 'These golden lines stripe
the Bay from where I view the
lovely evening scene that dally Is
so new. Behind me on the lawn
bench are trees so old and proud,
kings of the Michigan forest, now
painted by liquid yellow light. No

sounds. It Is late twtught. At

this season birds are quiet grasses and branches are motionless after the mild winds of
the day have constantly moved
them - All Is still. The sun
sets quickly. - Night comes. The land of the Ottowas has again
gone to sleep.

Outlined

beginning Tuesday, September 7.

Lunch prices will remain the
same as last year: 2~ per day
or 9~ weekly In grades 1 through
4; 25~ per day or $1.15 weekly
In grades 5 through 12.
Children In grades 1 and 2
may have milk In the afternoon
1! they pay for it one semester
In advance. This will cost $2.70
per semester. For students who
carry their lunch, mllk will be
available In the lunch room at
3~ per carton.
Much has been written In the
past year about student rights.
We believe that students must
assume responsibilities also.
Their appearance and attitude
should be such that it will not
detract from the learntngatmosphere we attempt to maintain.
Our school does n.t have a dress
code as such, but students who
create a distraction or present
a health hazard (such as bare
teet) will be sent home to dress
more appropriately.
A new attendance procedure

v.111 be tried out In grades 7

through 12 this year. The parent
of a student must call the school
each time the student Is absent.
No admit slip (nor note from
home) will be necessary for excused absences. If a oarent Is
unable to call the school, the
student will not be admitted without a note from home. Calls
should be made to 526-2961 before noon on the day of the absence.
Listed below Is a calendar of
events for the first two months
of school.
This calendar w111
be up-dated In Issues of News
and VIews which will be sent home
4 times during the school year.
Please note on this calendar the
special school election date October 5.
If you have any
questions about this election,
qul!stlons about th.t s election, or

A record 3,080 complaints were filed with

the Michigan Civil Rights Commission during
fiscal year 1970-71. The complaints alleged Illegal dlscrlmlnatJon because of either race, color, religion, national origin,
sex or age.

The U.S. Rural Electrification Ad

ministration In the Department of A(riculture has adopted regulations making clear
that Its actions are subject to the National
Environmental Polley Act.
The first regulations defining the agencies
interpretation of NP A published nrller in
1971 were criticized by National WltdlJ!e
Federation attorneys as not applying the taw
as fully as Congress Intended. The Federation submitted proposed alterations In the
regulations and ln June the Rural Electrification Administration announced It had made
several Important modl.flcations In Its earlier
regulations.
The REA now makes It "more" clear
that all major agency actions are subject
to NEPA and that environmental aspects of
agency actions are subject to review. The
REA dropped a provision for omitting environmental Impact statements for loans
where the borrower would own tess than
50 percent or the facilities and It reduced
from 300 mw to 25 mw the size of generaUng equipment for which statements must
be prepared. Other provisions make publlc hearings more accessible to the public.

David G. Nixon and John J. Zavodnl spent
last summer canoeing Pittsburgh's filthy
rivers and collecting samples of factory
etnuents.
They labeled each sample by
date and location and turned them over to
county officials for testing. The Information
was then turned over to the U.S. District
Attorney who returned Indictments under
the 1899 Refuse Act. The Act provides that
one-half of the fine levied against polluters
discharging without a permit may be awarded to citizens providing Information
leading to conviction.

United
Press International recently
reported that a steelworker In Jones and
Laughlin Steel Corporation's Cleveland plant
was suspended when he refused to dump
oil, solvents, and other wastes Into the
Cuyahoga River.
But the United Steel workers Union rushed to
the aid of Gilbert Pugliese and threatened
a wildcat strike at the plant unless the
company reinstated the employee Immediately. Jones and Laughlin rescinded the fiveday suspension and paid Pugliese for lost
time.

Pugliese, "over the kind of support I got

of a bomber into Little Traverse . Bay,

kUling all nine crewmen. Hacf the plan
crashed into the atom plant, consumer advocate Ralph Nader then warned, a nuclear cataatrophe" could have occurred.
The plant was about one mlle away fro, .
The plant wu about one mile away trom
the plane's night pattern. Previously,
bombers on these training nights came wlthJn
one mile of the plant. In the new night
patterns, the Command said, planes would
not penetrate a five and one-half radius
of the nuclear plant. Neither the Atomic
Energy Commission nor the Consumer Power
Company, owner of the nuclear plant. were
reported to object to resuming the test f\lghts.

Consumers Union in Its

The
September
Issue of Consumer Reports estimated that
about 250,000 household products in everyday use are potentially harmful. The nonprom consumer information agency said
that "hundreds of children are killed needlessly every yea~ by swallowing common
household products containing dangerous
chemicals. They cited as particularly hazardous Uquid drain cleaners, dishwasher
detergent.s made with soda uh and petroleum- based furniture polish. Brand names
mentioned In the articles were: Old English
Furniture and Scratch Cover Polish, Electrasol and Finish dlshwashlng compounds and a
drain cleaner called Liquid Plumber. The
article condemns the Federal Government's
Food and Drug Administration for a timid
ezerclse of Its authority. ln 1968, latest
year for which national statbtica are avail~
able, 284 chJldren under five years of age
v.-ere reported to have died of accidental
poisoning.

Man's complex Immunologic system, which

protects hJm from inferifon, may be a
beneficiary of reduced intake of food. Elrperlments disclosed at a recent scientific
conference showed that some mice live longer
and are less likely to get cancer if their
lifetime food Intake were reduced. In mouse
or man, these effects are related to changes
In the Immunologic system, whJch Wldergoes
major changes during the aging process. The
experiments found an increase in life span
and a lowering of cancer risk. Asked at a
news conference whether this Implied that
humans might be wise to eat less, a scientist
replied: "Yes, It does, but you should start
when you are very young." He emphasized
that diet would have to be nutritious and balanced and that no such restriction should
begin before normal weaning age. Serious
Ill effects on the brain and central nervous system have been traced to Infant
malnutrition. The report on the Immunology conference did not contain speculation as to just how long the lifespan of a
man could be prolonged on a nutritious
but sharply restricted diet. The account
of the conference appeared ln The New York
Times, Wednesday, August 4.

In a recent eolumn by Reg Sharkey, local

naturalist, who regularly writes for this
newspaper, there appeared along with a
photo of a dead gull on the shore of Little
Traverse Bay the quiet inquiry, Why? Mr.
Sharkey advises that he Is pursuing the question of why we see so few of these birds
compared with earlier years. Another article, by another naturalist, In another newspaper, noted the ominous discovery of cracked
eggs found In the nests of herring gulls
at Ontario, the gull commonly seen along
East Coast beaches. Furthermore, many
other birds ln addition to those commonly
known to be endangered by DDT - the bald
eagle, OsPrey and prelgrine falcon (world's
fastest bird) - are also threatened. The
brown pelican has disappeared from Louisiana - It is the state bird there, and Is said
to be disappearing also from California.
ln Florida, the first thJn -shelled pelican
eggs have been fOWld. In Utah, the whiteraced Ibis in one year diminished from 5,200
to 900 birds.

as they would like. Fred and

Pauline Allen, who have a home
on the brink of the clltf, decided
to do something about the ell mb
up from the beach, afte r Mr.
Allen suffered a heart attack
eight years ago.
They built a tram. Their architect, David Trautman, suggested It, and Jim Dilworth, who
engineered the lUts at Boyne
Highlands and Boyne Mountain,
planned lt. Mr. AUen said It
was the only one of Its kind he
knew of.
The Aliens house Is some 200'
above the lake, and the track
Is about 240' long, so the track
lies on a 27 degree angle. It
Is anchored by cement piers
"'1th 4' foundations. Looking down
the steep Incline most people
guess that at least a 1OOhp engine would be needed to pull the
car and passengers, but Mr. Allen reports that a 2hp engine
Is all Mr. Dilworth figured was
necessary.
Safety was an Important consideration. Mr. Allen explained
that U the current goes off the
motor has a brake, and U the
cable snaps the car has friction
brt.kes which press agai nst the
track. To operate It, one simply
has to pull on a cord alongside
the track: one pull to s tart,
the next one s tops tt, and the
next one reverses direction. The
car Is pulled by the cable at a
fairly slow speed so that pulling
the rope while moving Is not a
great Inconvenience.
Mrs. Allen said, It took us
several years to s crew up our
courage, but we're glad we did."
She adds that the tram has been
put to use hauling drUtwood and
rocks from the beach, and transporting a picnic. Mr. Allen commen ted, " We' ve had more fun
walking the beach thls summer,
since weve had the tram, than
at an y other Ume ln the last
six years."

The Sewer Authority, Springvale, Act On Sewage Disposal

By Michael Hubbard
Sewage disposal has been of
concern to township, and city governments In Emmet County. Petoskey, and the Harbor Springs
Area Sewpge Authority have disposal system under construction, and many events have oecured recently on a number of
fronts.
On Thursday, August 19, the
Harbor Springs Authority learned
from their consulting engineer,
Ed Burt of Wtlllams and works,
that they v.ill probably start re ceiving hoped for grants f rom the
State and Federal a:overnments

In March, 1972.
The total grants can be for as
much as 641l of the project. Disposal programs can submit applications for grants when they
have completed 25~ , so~ . 7~
and 1~ of their project. The
Harbor Springs project has
passed the 2 ~ mark, .and the
members of the Authority signed
the papers asking for the grant
on Thursday. The project will
cost $1,278,347
when 10
complete, and the total possible
grant Is $675, 000. No one who
has submitted an application has
been turned down since the grants
have been offered.

Franklin Fireplace

The Authority also signed papers applying for grants for the
project. Little Field - Alanson
has just recently agreed to join
the area sewage disposal program. It was felt by Mr. Burt,
and
the
Sewage
Authority
members that if the grants come
through, and U expenses for the
project don't Increase, especially
land costs, sewage rates could be
reduced.
Monday, August 23, the Harbor
Springs City Councll held a special meeting to discuss lowering
rates.
No action was taken
because Counctlmen Irish and
Beatty were absent. However,
Counctlv.-oman Jo Ford presenteo
statistics to the council last Monday which Indicated rates could be
lov.ered.
Her report was the
main reason for the special meeting.
Nevertheless, City Manager
Aldwyn Wager brought up a point
which might mean that the rates
will not be lowered as much a.s
expected. He reported that the
old Harbor Springs sewers leak,

and about three tl mes as much

pure spring and ground water
passes throu2h them as does
sewage.
This means that unless these wers are repaired the city will
be paying for the treatment of
this additional volumel and their
bill will be correspond ngly higher.
He felt that part of the
sewage rate will have to go to
defer sewage repairs.
The same day as the' Sewage
Authority held their meeting the
Springvale Township board met
to decide what they would do.
Originally they had hoped to join
the Harbor Springs Area Sewage
Authority, but with Little Traverse TownshiP's decision not
to sell any more land to the
Authority, most of Springvale
could not join. The y moved to
have Williams and Works to do
a preliminary engineering study
for them so they could proceed
In developing their own sewage
disposal system.
However, L'Arbre Croche, the
new resort development between

Harbor Springs and Petoskey,

could be admitted Into the Harbor Springs system, even though
they are In Bear C reek Town ship.
L' Arbre Croehe expects
to have thirty condominiums
completed by next June and a
number of houses.
The Sewage Authority won't
be able to connect the development until next September at the
earliest, because of a lack of
available cash until the grants
come ln. As a spokesman for
L' A rbre C roehe pointed out this
means that the condominiums will
not be opened next summer, and
their rent w111 be lost, or the
development will have to p~o ' :~
septic tanks.
Bill Petzold, President of
L ' Arbre Croehe, said he would
prefer not to comment on what
they will do. He did say, though,
that the development would like
to cooperate with the authority.
He also noted that, since L' Arbre Croche Is located on Sand
dunes, soil conditions are perfect for septic systems,

The expansion,
which would
section
o.f the County.
Include a stretch of road beginning at the Intersection of
U.S. 31 and U.S. 131 a.nd would
extend to Bay Shore, means to
Mr. Greenv.-ell that "the property In that area will be under
a lot of pressure to be developed.
The County - owned land on
which the annual County F air Is
held Is within the sphere of
this probable development push,
thinks Mr. Greenwell .
His fellow co mmissioners
must agree as they last year
approved the purchase of acreage
in Conway as the future site of
County fair activities.
When the Ume comes we will
probably lease the present Count y
fal r property to Insure a consays
Mr.
tinuous Income,"
Greenwell.
The highway expansion Is scheduled for completion next year,
and Mr. Greenwell estimates the
site of the fair will be moved to
Conway within ''Two or three
years."

These are college students who
took part 1n a summer work exchange program ...1th students
from Central Michigan University.

and sister-In-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Engler.

On a h111slde between Emmet

Heights and Hedrick Road can
be seen the remains or a house
and barn enjoyed by this couple
tor whom Catob Road Is named.
Neighbors still remember their
good garden, and Mrs. Catob's
rlne cooking. Mr. Lee Cosens,
Sr., used to workforthem. Their
niece, Mrs. Gerald Carmer, still
lives In Harbor Springs.
Mrs. Catob told my grandparents how, as a girl In Germany, II.'Orklng as a servant on one
or the large estates, she helped
lean and cook many chickens for
the people In the "big house",
but only had the lert-overs to
eat. Gott has been gut to me,"
she said.
"I have had this.''
Here Is food for thought for
us for whom, In recent years,
chicken has been one or the
least expensive meats!
As a child, I remember the
Catobs driving pastlnthelrhorse
and buggy, and stopping at our
front gate to vtslt. At their home
I rtrst saw, and was fascinated
by, an authentic German Cuckoo
clock, and rtrst tuted delicious
German potato pancakes.

We were distressed to hear

that two bucks and three does,
11ho have been maklngthelrhome
In our neighborhood, have not
beet seen since someone was
heard shooUng at them. Ir this
kind or thing continues around the
state, soon there will be no deer
herds to feed In winter, nor to
warrant a huntlng season

Have you been eating sweet

corn lately?
II so, consider
yourseU fortunate that most farmers do not try to get rich selling tt. Old you know thata pound
of sweet corn seed costs $3.85?
It requires about 1/ 4 bushel to
plant one acre, which would cost
$46.20. Add to this about $11.00
for fertilizer, the cost or gu,
on, and repairs f or the tractor,
water for Irrigation, If available,
or loss from poor weather, l.t
ra.ln Is the only source or moisture, plus loss f rom Insects,
raccoons, or deer, and you may
look at that next succulent ear
wtth new understi,ndlng for the
farmer who grew tt.

of ra.ln and han. were Mr. and

We- que- ton-sing Is a summer
resort located on eighty acres
of land on the north sldeof
Little Traverse Bar, ore mile
east of Harbor Springs, Michigan. The land, attnat ume ICJlown
by its Indian name, wa-ba- bikang, meaning white gravelly
shore, was donated to the Presbyterian Church by the citizens
"ho lived in the area. In 1877,
a Presbyterian committee which
met at Elkhart, Indiana, accepted
the gift and renamed the area the
Presbyterian Summer Resort
Association .
The resort formally opened to
the public June 17, 1878 under the
capable hands of the following
men elected as the first officers
for the resort: Rev. J.F. Kendall,
D. D., President, Laport, Indiana;
Hon. W.O. Hughart, 1st VicePresident, Grand Rapids, Mich.;
L. Trask, 2nd Vice-President,
Kalamu.oo, Michigan; R. Montgomery, Superintendent, Mishawaka, Indiana; Rev. J.D. McCord,
Corresponding Secretary, Richland, Mich.; Rev. H.M. Morey,
Secretary, South Bend, Indiana;
and H. H. Dennes, Treasurer,
Grand Rapids, Michlfl:ll

A good hotel had oeen bunt

"lth boarding rates at $5.50 a
week per person or table board
at $4.00 a week per person. The
grounds had been divided into
buJldlng lots, whlchsold at$10.00
each with an annual ta.x of $2.00
each for general improvements.
Ca mping wps allowed on the
grounds with permission secured
by appllcatlon with the Resort.
The object of the association
' ' . was to improve and make
attractive Its grounds for the use
of its members and guests who
"ished a pleasant, healthful and
inexpensive place to spend the
summer months."
Forty lots were sold the first
season and by spring of 1879,
a llttle vtllage had begun to rise
among the white birches and
evergreens. "The happy experience of the first season confirms
the choice of grounds as most
fortunate." The harbor of Little
Traverse Is the best on the lakes.
It gives fine boating at all times;
fish waiting to be caught; and
blackberries to be had for the
picking. Agates can be found
among the peb~les on the
beach. " Trout brooks and wild
lakes tempt the fishermen a few
miles away or one can go out
with the Indians for deep water

Local Small Fry Learn A, B, C'Sof Swimming At Harbor Beach

The parents of some 60 area
._youngsters can relax a little more
when their children go tor a swim.
The 60 youths have successfully
completed six week courses Ln
swimming Instructions at the
Harbor Springs Publlc Beach.
The program, whlch . w ~ s carried out under Red Cross guidelines, grouped participants In the
program Into classes of progressive dutlculty.
Fledgling water enthusiasts of
no swimming experience were
grouped Into the "minnow" categor y followed by beginners advanced beginners, Intermediate,
swimmers, and junior and senior
life saving classUicatlon.
Teaching
the minnow and
beginning classes was lUeguard
Shirley Swiss of Harbor Sprlnrs

while her companion IUetuard,

Jerry Sleblska of Bay Ci ty, was
In charge ot the remaining classes.
The swimming Instruction program was free ot cost to the
participants, who were mostly
.local chlldren with a scattering
of resort youths.
The young swimmers were
classed
according
to
their
sv Imming skills, and not according to age, note Shirley and
Jerry. The tv:o llteguards were
pleased to observe, that all
youngsters made progress toward good swimming habits.
Most ot the swimmers managed to complete requirements

through to levels of competence.
Julle completed both the advance
beginners and Intermediate courses, and Patrice passed the
Intermediate

cluses,
One of the youngest students
learning In the minnow class was
ho year old David Keller.
Final achievement tests varied

according to the classes and

ranged from being able to blow
bubbles under v:ater tor the minnows to swimming f rom the Harbor Springs City Public beach to
the end ot Harbor Point.
Adult S\\1mmers were lacking
this year, although the program
was open to all ages.
