PPfwi «t •»» -i -- *. 6A(L»P,C) OBSERVER & ECCENTRIC Thursday, Augutt 12. 1976 By W W. EDGAR A sure sign that we were entering the fall season and the time when the county fairs become the most popular of all events came the other day when State Attorney General Frank Kelley announced in the public prints that he was considering investgating the games that appear on the midways of these annual functions when the farmers and the agricultural leaders hold sway He said he wanted to find out if the games were conducted honestly—whether there was a good reason why the hall djdn't stay in the basket when you threw it. And he wants to know if the wheels at the baby doll stands are controlled by the man at the counter Well, take it from a fellow who knows, the man running the baby doll booth knows who is going to win And the man with the bushel basket can make the ball pop out—anytime he wants to save one of the prizes on display. Reading about the attorney general s plans reminded The Stroller of the day he was educated' in the intricacies of the 'con' games when he innocently accepted an offer to work for one of the "pitch" men at the Lehigh County Fair back home TO HELP out a neighbor who owned and operated a food concession. The Stroller, a mere youth, was serving a sauerkraut dinner to a man from one of the concessions "How would you like to come over and work with me 0 " he asked "You can do it along with your job here-«nd I'll pay you one dollar a day " It sounded interesting, especially when he told me that he had the baby doll stand Tlfcc Scroller Carnival tricks nothing new and all I had to do was come in and pla when he called me "All 1 want you to do." he said, "is U drop bv when you are answering a cal from Mother Nature and you are on th< way to get relief. "You stand in {he back of the crowd a the stand until you hear me shout. 'Plea* come in and try it for a dime. TTien you come in and play. When you win 111 giv^ you the choice of the doll or a dollar. You take the dollar. That will be yours ." That sounded simple and more so five other 'pitch' men extended the sa invitation The Stroller still remembers 1 thrill of earning six dollars a trip just wal ing to the comfort station Then came the first trip Standing at tl rear of the gathering at the stand he final ly heard the plea. "Please come in and try it for a dime." Heeding the call he worked his way to the counter where he placed a dime on a number and waited for the wheel to spin. ANXIOUSLY. The Stroller placed hip dime on a number Sure enough, when tl wheel stopped it was on his number, great cheer went up when the gatherii saw "the kid" win. Given the choice of " doll or the dollar he followed instructit and took the dollar that was pushed to hrt along with his original dime. By the time he had returned to the sauerkraut stand. The Stroller had made six stops and had "earned" six dollars. He had visions of making a lot of money—imagine six dollars every time he heeded Nature's call. But what an education he got later in t|e REDECORATE! WALLS LOOKING SAD ?

This time when he placed his dime on a number he didn't win. "Try it again." the 'con' man said. So. he placed another dime on another number-«nd lost. That's the way it went until he got to his 10th dime. With the last dime of the original dollar the 'con' man smiled. This time the wheel stopped at the chosen number and the young helper walked away with a dollar. Can you imagine that, he thought, that fellow at the counter must control that wheel He must know where it will stop Or he can stop it where he wishes. His education became complete when he experienced the same treatment at the other five stations IT WAS QUITE an experience for a young fellow, but he learned that all is not gold that glitters. And he learned »hat the games are just a "come on" to the farmers So. Mr. Kelley. you don't have to go very far in your planned investigation. Just walk along the midway at the fair where the games are being played, and wait for the 'pitch' man to plea, "Come in and try it for a dime." Then watch what happens Maybe you will leam the lesson just as The Stroller did a half century ago. Vitamin C helps fish Scientists have known for yuear that fish use vitamin C. for proper bone growth and to increase their tolerance to invironemental stresses. Yet they never knew exactly how this occurred Now they do. and the discovery may help biologists in combating the efffects of pollution on fish, the Department of the Interior announced. Biologists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Fish Pesticide Laboratory in Columbia, Mo., first learned of the mechanism while studying catfish that were affected by the insecticide toxaphene. This pesticide is widely used on cotton crops in the South where channel catfish are also commercially raised. About six years ago, biolgists notices that the channel catish grown on fish farms in that area were developing a curvature of the spine that, in extreme cases, broke the fish's back and stunted growth as much as one-third. Last year, Fish and Wildlife scientists linked this syndrome to toxaphene residues in the water.Concentrations as low as 37 parts per trillion in the water were found to have serious long-term effects on catfish. EarUer this year, they documented for the first time the specific rote' vitamin C plays in this process, and the implications of fish in the wild, the discovery of its importance in fish metabolism has been quite beneficial to the multi-million dollar fish farming business of the South, where up to five per cent of pond-cultured catfish showed the symptom Vitamin C is now included in many commercially prepared fish foods, and its inclusion in the diet of farmed catfish is helping to eliminate the "broken back syndrome." However, the discovery of vitamin C's importance in fish metabolism is equally beneficial to biologists studying the chronic effects of pollutants. Biologists believe that the mechanism which fish use in detoxifying toxaphene is the same used to neutralize the effects of other pollutants, but further studies are necessary before any firm conclusions can be drawn Jean Greis gets EMU post Jean A Greis. daughter of Mr and Mrs Robert Greis. 19609 Aubumdale.

County lake boasts more fish Belleville Lake in western Wayne County has surprisingly good fish populations, according to the state department of natural resources. The Huron River impoundment was restocked in recent years after its existing population of rough fish had been killed off. DNR fisheries crews made their surveys the week of July 21. using both nets and electroshocking techniques. The shock stuns fish long enough to allow a count but does no permanent damage, and the fish were all released after counting THE RESULTS showed: •Bluegills—348 fish averaging 7 inches, with many 74 to 8 inches. Most were spawning along the shore at Cemetery Point. • •Crappie—373 fish, averaging 7.6 inches. 83 per cent keeper sifce. They were fat and healthy. . • •Smallmouth bass—19 fish averaging 9i inches; 47 per cent were 12-inch keepers. •Northern pike—averaged 32 inches, with 20 inches being a keeper. ' *Tiger fnuskellunge—three fish ranging from Wt\ to 38 inches, with 30 inches being a keeper. Their condition was fat The tiger muskie is a hybrid that eats more and grows faster than the standard muskie. •Channel catfish—34 fish averaging 14.5 inches, all keepers (no minimum size limit). This was considered a good population. •Walleye-«4 fish. 17 per cent keeper size (15 inches) The 1975 plant already averages more than nine inches, the 1974 plant averages nearly 15 inches and a number.of thf 1973 plant are in the 18- to 22inch class.

A TWO-HOUR "night walk ' to study the "Here are some air-conditioning tips that will keep you from getting hot under the collar this summer. Detroit Edison is a concerned participant in America's crusade for conservation. The wise use of energy plays one of the most important roles in that effort. But it requires a working partnership between those who supply energy and those who use it. Here are some ways you can help conserve energy and save yourself some money the restof this summer - You can dial up and hold your costs down. Don't overcool your home. That's a wasteful use of ehergy. And expensive. For the most comfort and the most efficiency, set your thermostat no lower than about 10 degrees below the outside temperature. If it's 85 degrees outside, then set your thermostat at about 75 degrees. Otherwise your air conditioner has to work extra hard and your costs go up and up. In a typical house, you can save about 5 percent in operating costs for every degree you move the thermostat up. So, if your house is going to be empty for a few hours, move your thermostat up 5 more degrees and pocket the savings. Staying comfortable this summer can be a breeze. When the sun beats down, the heat in your attic builds up and it can be like living under an oven. An attic exhaust fan will get the hot air out and let the cooler night air in, and take the strain off your air conditioner. Good attic insulation works wonders at keeping your home cooler in summer and it will pay off again by saving on heating costs next winter. And don't forget lightcolored shingles reflect heat. Whatever you do to keep heat out of your house saves money in air conditioning. Window fans work, too. ; ' Before you had air conditioning, were things you did to keep coi like pulling down the window si closing the draperies on the sum of the house. That's smart. Beci bare window lets in as much as times more heat than an insulal if if TsT: So do the same now and you can reduce your air-conditioning costs by as much as 12 percent. Shade your windows from the outside with ventilated awnings or trees and save even more-up to 22 percent of your air-conditioning operating costs. Maintain your cool. If you want your air conditioner to take good care of you, keep it clean. This means changing or washing the air filters often. Also, vacuum the inside coils and keep outside coils free of debris. Glean - registers arid return ducts regularly on central air-conditioning sysfems, and keep the cooling drain open for free condensate flow. And don't block air - fldw with furniture or draperies. Your owner's manual lists other maintenance tips. Follow them and keep cool all summer. Buying a new air conditioner? Maybe the most important numbers aren't on the price tag. First of all, it's important that you get the right size unjt (BTU's). Your salesman can help on this if you tell him the length and width of the area you want to cool. Another /lumber that's important is the EER number. This stands for Energy Efficiency Rating. \fu skv and summer insects is offered at the * Kensington Metropark Nature Center at.. 9:30 p.m..
