For example, when you're calling longdistance, dial direct and plan your calls for times when the rates are lowest.Budget Service that's really low budget! Look into the availability ofBudget Service if you don't make a lot of phone calls every month. It's theleast expensive one-or-two party phone service we offer.Plan to have all your service installed in one vtsit. For instance, if youmove, plan carefully so the installer doesn't have to make extra trips,for which you may nave to pay additional charges. And while you'replanning for new service, make sure it's going to bethe kind most suited to your needs.Sometimes, little tips can save you a surprisingamount over the long haul.

Grand Vallev Ledser - WedncwUy, Jane 14, 1978 • Page 6cozycornerTheatre Is For Elementary Childreni w.' l ' ! ''Section Of M-21 Nears CompletionBy Roger BrownI mentioned last week that I hadn't been golfing in three years.Last Saturday was just too perfect to pass up so I called my brotherJohn, borrowed some clubs, and we hit the links.I wish now, that I had stayed home and mowed the lawn. It's notthat my golf game was that bad. it is my driving that needsimprovement. Golf cart driving that is.We had played eighteen holes and just as we entered the parkinglot near the club house. John said, "let's put the clubs in the car". Ithought this was a good idea because it would save us the trouble ofcarrying them from where the carts have to be parked.I turned the steering handle and went for the brake, figuring tomake a three point turn and get back over to where my car wasparked. But when I applied the brake. I didn't get my size 12E leftfoot over far enough and also depressed the accelerator.If you read this column from week to week, you know thatMurphy's Law is always in effect for the things I do. that is. "ifsomething can go wrong, it will go wrong." This little incidentproved' to be no exception, as I finally got the cart stopped bycrashing it into the side of a parked Cadillac. Of all the cars in thatparking lot. I had to slam into the only Cauillac there.To make matters even worse, there were about a dozen fellowswaiting to tee off on number one. which was only about twenty feetaway. They were all eye witnesses to the accident, one of them wasthe owner of the Cadillac. Much to his everlasting credit, he wasvery nice about the whole thing and I promised to pay for repairingthe dent in his car.The next day 1 attended my sister's graduation open house andtook a lot of ribbing from several fellows who had been out to thegolf course later on Saturday and had heard all about my littleincident. The ironic part of the whole thing is that a friend of mine hita 260 yard hole-in-one Saturday morning and they never heard aword about that, it seems my accident was the main topic of clubhouse conversation.So. if there is a moral to this story. I guess it would have to be: Ifit's golfing recognition that you lack: Don't hit a hole-in-one. hit aCadillac.1:"The Creeping Beauty" a parody on the Grimm Brother* FairyTale, Sleeping Beanty, will be one of the the three Imaginativestories to be presented at the Alto Library on Toeaday, Jane 27, at11 a.m.focal pointb y Jim MaatmanLast week's article discussed the advantages and disadvantagesof Instamatic-type cameras. This week I would like to discuss 35mmcameras. Due to the tremendous variety and different features in35mm cameras, it is going to be difficult to fully discuss this topic inone column. Therefore. 1 will discuss only some aspects of 35mmcameras.The 35mm camera is one of the most versatile tools availabletoday. Film manufacturers offer more varieties of 35mm film thanany other format. There arc at least six different black-and-whitefilms and more than a dozen color films which can be purchased byIhe amateur photographer. This fact alone allows the 35mm camerato be used in a variety of situations.Also the cameras are normally adjustable for a wide range ofshutter speeds and lens openings, which gives the camera theability to handle many lighting situations from very dim to verybright. Many 35mm cameras can be used with wide-angle lens,telephoto lens, close-up accessories, electronic flash, and specialcffects filters, etc. It is easy to see from this short summary why somany serious amateur photographers choose the 35 mm camera.Basically there arc two types of 35mm camera, the single-lensreflex and the fixed-lens (rangefinder). The two cameras aredifferent in the method of viewing the subject. Through a system ofmirrors the single-lens reflex allows the photographer to view thesubject through the same lens that take the picture. This allows thesingle-lens user to change lens and add close-up or special effectaccessories.Focusing is done on a ground glass and when the subject is infocus, the photographer will see the subjectas focused. Thefixed-lenSphotographer is looking through a window above thelense. a design which does not permit changing lens. Focusing isnormally done with a built-in rangefinder and this requires lining upthe image in a split-range viewfinder. Both types of cameras todayhave a built in light meter for exposure control. Both manual andautomatic exposure control are available depending on the camerabrand.The advantages of 35mm cameras are many. They allow takingpictures in many photographic situations. They have the capabilityof producing excellent pictures because the lens are of great opticalquality. They accept a wide variety of accessories and finally, theyare relatively easjf to use.1 think the only real disadvantage is that owning a 35mm camerarequires a larger initial investment. Fixed lens models are pricedfrom around S75 to SI75. and single-reflex cameras start around$150 and can go as high as S600 to $700.Once again the camera chosen will depend on how the camera willbe used and for what the photographer wants to use it. It isimportant to look for features available within a particular budget.Next week, polaroid cameras.Picture Hp: If you haven't noticed there have been somebeautiful sunsets in the last few weeks, try shooting a sunset withsome foreground object in silhouette.Competitive Swim ClinicYMCA coaches Dave DeNolf and Jennifer Patrick worii on itartafor the backstroke with studenta at the Saturday Swim Team CUnk.There will be one more Free Competitive Swim CUnk Saturday,June 17, for students ll-years-oW and older, 12 to 1 p.m. and 6-10years old, 1 to 2 p.m.Ihlt year's annual City Swim Meet will be held on Tuesday, June28, at 1 p.m. YMCA Swim Team Season gets started with practicesthis Wednesday and Thursday at 2 p.m. and starting Monday, June19, at 8:45 a.m.Stop to at the pool and meet the 1978 Swim Team Coaches.Jennifer Patrick was the pool director at Ionia County Gub beforejoining the Lowell YMCA Staff.

Soundsreasonable. But wait a minute.Like most good intentions,there's another side to the issue... and this one involves taxes!Some intrepid researcher hasfound that an average martinicontains 3.5 ounces of gin. andthe federal tax on 80-proof ginserved in most watering holes is6.56 cents an ounce. That 22.97cents per martini or 68.9 centsfor three martinis. So. if 100,000three martini lunches were consumeddaily, they would produce$68,906.13 each day fromthis consumption. Multiply thisby 250 business days, and thetab goes up to $17.2 million ayear for just one person.You can do your own multiplicationif more than one personhorses down three martinis atlunch. . . to say nothing ofdinner.the Kent County Library Systemand is located on Linfield Avenuein Alto.

"Bylearning and practicing a fewsimple home protection hints,residents can keep their homesfrom falling victim to a burglary",he said.The month of June, 1978, hasbeen declared by Dean Collins,Mayor of Lowell to be "BurglaryPrevention Month" here. Duringthis month, your PoliceDepartment will provide informationto help you protect yourhome from burglars.Failure to know and practicethe fundamental techniipies ofhome protection was largelyresponsible for ,the thirty-twoburglaries committed in our citylast year. Although most peopledidn't intentionally invite intrudersto ransack their home,they might as well have hung upa sign saying, "no one's home,burglars welcome!"A stroll around your neighborhoodany day, will tell you ata glance who's away, theirporches will be cluttered withcirculars, an accumulation ofmilk bottles on the stoop, anunkempt lawn, an empty garagewith the door open or a bulgingmailbox. All of these are tip-offsthat'll broadcast "no one'shome" to anyone canvassingthe neighborhood.In the evening, most emptyhomes can be spotted too-justlook for the dark houses. It's aknown fact, light is one of thebest deterrents to crime,yetmost homeowners go out for anevening and leave their homescompletely dark. Or, they'll gooff for a weekend or vacationand the leave the same lightburning day and night. No lightat all, or a light burningcontinuously,is a good giveaway"no one is home".A simple, but effective meansof having light in your homeevery evening is by connecting aTime-All automatic timing deviseto one or two lamps, Such aPROCLAMATIONWHEREAS. Burglary, both in number of violationsand in resultant property loss, is the leading majorcrime across the nation: andwhereas. Burglary all too frequently results in theinjury to and death of the victim: andwhereaa. The success of burglary prevention anddetection efforts is dependent to a large degree on theparticipation of an aroused and involved public.NOW. THEREFORE. I. Dean Collins. Mayor of theCity of Lowell, do PROCLAIM:That the month of June 1978. is Burglary PreventionMonth and call upon the citizens to aid and assist theirpolice agencies, and do all else possible, to preventdetect, and report burglary.Dean CollinsMayortimer will turn a lamp "on"early in the evening, then turn it"off several hours later. Withlights turning on and off duringthe evening hours, it will givethe appcarance someone ishome and may avert a possibleburglary attempt!Emmons Lists PrecautionsChief Emmons went on to saythat most burglars pick theeasiest targets they can find.They want to get in. get the lootand get away as quickly aspossible. Therefore, if you putseveral obstacles in his way. heis less likely to try to break intoyour home, but will seek "easypickins" elsewhere. By observingthese few simple precautionarysteps, you can reduce thepossibility of a burglar selectingyour dwelling as his target nexttime you're away.1, Close and lock all doors,including porch, basement andgarage. Use pin-tumbler cylinderlocks on outside entrancesand safety latches on the windows.2. Connect a lamp to aTime-All automatic timer to turnlights in the home on and offeach evening. Since sound is adeterrent, connect radio or TVto a timer.3. Protect all doors and windowswith an inexpensive, portableburalarv alarm whichsounds whenever someone attemptsto break in.4. Light up your porch andyard with outdoor lights toincrease the likelihood that anattempted burglary would beseen. These lights can also betimer controllercd. if desired.5. Be sure all screens arefastened from the inside.6. Never leave valuable lyingaround, keep them in a safetydeposit box.7. Notify your police departmentwhen you'll be leaving andhow long you expect to be away.There is no such thing as a"burglar proof home, theChief said, but he added, followingthe suggestions listed abovewill help to protect your homewhenever you're away.VTfLEONARD JACKSONFarmw Owner • Mticker Price $8033.25irand Opening Sale ...$5595.001977 Plymouth Salon: 4-door,/-8, automatic, power steering,lir, AM-FM stereo, radials.>ticker Price $6569.75Irand Opening Sale ...$4995.001977 Ddoge Aspen S.E.: 4-door,cylinder, automatic, powerPeering, air, AM-FM stereo,radials.Sticker Price$6176.30 ^Jrand Opening Sale ...$4895.00 £IUCKS • VANS ?MmCAMPLES.975 Buick Electra 225 beautiful(•right red, air,stereo, full>ower, low mileage.

"Wehave approvals from some townships.but we have to get theremainder between now and theend of the year."Bridges are considered smallfrom 20 feet in length to less andculvert is termed this if it is 3or more in length, heexplains. — Dave Barnes.27.0.440.

While workingto produce the food and fibereveryone needs, the farm familyhas its needs, too. In all. thenation's farmers have $20 billionin personal income fromfarm sources and an almostequal amount from nonfarmsources to spend on a variety ofconsumer items, taxes and investments.Their purchases atsupermarkets, departmentstores, specialty shops, car dealershipsand many other storessupport these businesses andthe people they employ. Altogether.farm families pay atotal tax bill of S8.5 billion onreal estate, personal property,federal and state income andsales tax. This helps supportmany government serviceswhich benefit urban and ruralresidents alike.ZERO BUDGETINGZero budgeting, a term thecurrentfederal administrationhas initiated, has created agenerally favorable impression—except where certain phasesof government services havebeen deleted or severely cutback. One such action has beenrecommended for the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture that hasa significant effect on Americanagriculture. The recommendationis for eliminating all food,marketing research activitiesand the reassignment of theseactivities to sociological programsinitiated in the Department.This is a further confirmationof a new orientation ofUSDA away from agricultureand toward consumer dictates.
