Rossow and 1t. q. g. Richard
N. (Dick) LePage. The first four
had been in Persia since early
in '43, and LePage showed up
in nearby port in a Liberty
Ship. The army loaned them
a jeep and the Liberty ship skip
per gave them a dinner. Lots of
fun they tell us. despite the
fact that the Persian tempera-
ture often hits 1853, according to
Lorway.
AROUND THE CITY-We got
the election off our chests, any
way. Only two out of three
voters felt it was necessary to
go to the polls. although
that's the privilege they're sup
posed to be guarding for you
fellows. BY a vote of 694-822
the City Manager idea was re-
jected: Bert Wagner polled 988
to Don Westendorf's 687, and
commissioners were nominated
for two posts as follows: Guy
Verkler, 962; Lawrence Oehm-
Ike, 651; Tom Longstaff, 608 and
Angelo Fisher. ISL. The
Charter Revision Commission
will now proceed with plans for
a modernized, efficient mayor
commission form of government,
including civil service. JUS
tice Don Parent, lately conval-
escing at Grayling, returned to
town election day to vote, and
stayed a couple of days to hold
the fort. for frankie Jeanette,

stable horses around the county
will feel pampered and want
oats half for overtime 80.
because State Senator Ivan A.
Johnston has introduced a bill
at Lansing restricting a riding
horses daily work hours to
eight. Maybe some sympa-
thetic solon will do something
like that for you guys in the fox
holes. Judge AL Noes sew
en-months Detr o It. arren
Township airport case has fin
ally gone to the jury Of IL wo-
men and Oscar DeDecker. Of
course, the ladies graciously
elected Oscar as foreman
When you come back it may be
a county Boosting an official
population of more than 10000
Gas estimated) rather than 107,-
428, as you left it. County
supervisors are weighing a pro-
position to spend $4,000 for an
official off-year US census. The
higher population would give
every community a bigger slice
of government largess =.
