To chase away the frown,
Take the little oil newspaper
From your oil home town.

CELEBRATED PIONEERS
BIRTHDAY anniversary

"The mother in her Office holds the
key of the soul and she it is that
stamps the coin Of character and
makes the being who would be a
savage but for her gentle care, a
Christian man, then crown her queen
of the worldp-Emmerson
A delightful occasion which has
become an annual event with the
family of Mrs. Elizabeth Fales was
held at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Merton Smith, 203 Z. Liberty St.,
Sunday, April End. 1t was the Saith
anniversary of the birth of Mrs.
Smiths mother and it has been de-
cided by her children not to allow
that important date in her life his
tory to pass unrecognized. 1t is sell
dom that one lives so far past the
ALLOTTED age of mankind" and priv
ileged to enjoy in good health the
happy reunion of the family at a
birthday party.
There were 25 present which in
cluded all the children, grand child,
great grand children and a brother
and sister when the fine birthday
cake illuminated with yellow candles
graced the center of the table around
which all were seated, Mrs. Fales
lighting the candles herself
The garage which adjoins the res
idence was converted into banquet
hall where the feast was served at
one o'clock, tastefully decorated in
yellow and white daffodils. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith and Mr.. and Mrs. Jep-
son were the table walters and none
of the family were overlooked in
attention.
1t is a historical fact that all the
defendants of the Amous Russell
family, grand old pioneer of Otisco
township, were good eaters and al
ways had their appetites with ther,,
these later reunions and this one
in particular, gave evidence of that
saying which has been handed down
to this generation.
The birthday party was not a
surprise to the mother but in the
afternoon and evening when guests
to the number of more than sixty
old neighbors and friends and long
time ac1uaintances began to drop in
to give her a greeting and happy
returns of another anniversary she
saw that the children had certainly
put one over on her. The guests
were served with light refreshments
during the reception. Mrs. Fales is
the daughter of Amos Russell, who
settled in Otisco after an OK team
journey from the east in 1897 and
was the first white child born in the
township in primitive home near
the M A. Filkins place, the event
occurring on the first township cleo
tion day.
Her brother, Eugene Russell, of
Luther, 20, and sister, Mrs. M. A.
Filkins, 81 were present at this. re-
union and came in for their share
in the festivities of the occasion.
Two great grand children, Betty and
Dale Jepson. of Grand Rapids, were
also present.

TO bfgDE ON
SCHOOL ADDITIONS
BY MAJORITY VOTE
BOARD HAS SETNFRIDAY, APRIL
IA AS DATE FOR ELEC-
TORS To- DECIDE

In another column OF this issue
will be found the proceedings OF the
last regular and special meeting
of the Belding Board Of Education
wherein they took up the matter OF
financing the proposed additions to
the High school building. After
viewing the school conditions in this
city for \ long time and listening
to many suggestions and criticism,
the members. of the board have fin
ally decided upon am addition to the
north and another addition to the
south of the present central high
school building and in order to go
ahead with the matter have decided
to. hold a special meeting of the
qualified .slectors in this district
to vote upon the proposition of is
suing bonds with which to pay for
the erection of the additions.
On March 23rd. 1920 the voters
of the district authorized the board
to issue bonds to the extent of $685.
900 for a building in the second ward
At the time the board members
were of the opinion that for various
reasons, it would be better not to
build in the second ward with the
money and for that reason the bonds
were never issued. Should the vot-
ers decide in favor of the $4,000
proposed issue, it would in reality
be voting for only s45,000 addition
al and with plans proposed would re-
lieve the Scongested conditions of
the local schools to the benefit of
all concerned. The members of the
board have had the interests of the
community at heart in arriving at
their conclusion in favor of the ad-
ditions to the present building and
the general concensus of opinion is
that the voters of the district will
endorse the proposition to build.
The special meeting and election
is to be held in the council room of
the city hall, on Friday, April a.,
commencing at three o'clock in the
afternoon and closing at seven o.
clock in THE evening. Ballots can
be cast at any time during the hours
above mentioned.
It is the duty of each and every
person in the district to get out and
vote upon the matter of providing
more and better school rooms and
conditions. Don't fail to read the
Board of Education proceedings on
page a of this issue.

~ to the charge preferred against

Lost On Lecture Course

The members of the American
Legion post sponsored the lyceum
course at Portland this last winter
and when they counted the shekels
after the last number and all ex-
penses had been paid, the boys dug
down in their jeans and dug up just
$242.90, the amount which they had
run behind in bringing something in
the line Of good, worth while enter
tainment to the people of Portland.
Just why this should be can not be
figured out, but it seems that in
Portland, like in Belding, the peo-
pie fail to appreciate and support a
good entertainment course and the
people who back the course, usually
come out the losers.

Publishers of weekly newspapers
in Michigan are being urged to at
tend the meeting, called to convene
at the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege at East Lansing on the morn
ing of Friday, April Ia, which will
continue over until Saturday noon of

state association of weekly newspa-
per publishers, a committee having
been appointed at the January ses-
sion to draft a tentative constitu-
tion and bylaws, and which will be
ready to report at this meeting.
There has never been satisfac-
tory association in this state, linn
tied to weekly publishers, and so inn
perative is the need at the present
time, there is every indication that
the convention next week will see a
record attendance.
We have the assurance of 5. X.
Wilson, of Saline, chairman of The
entertainment committee, that G. l..
Caswell, field secretary of the Iowa
publishers association. will be with
US on Friday afternoon, April Ii, to
talk on the matter of national ad-
yertising and how to secure more of
1T for the weekly publisher. Mr..
CaswelPs talk alone will more than
warrant trip to Lansing, while the
"round table" discussions too are
inestimable in the, valuable informa-
tion one can CLEAN from them. By
all means let every weekly publisher
in Michigan plan on attending this
meeting.
