Brigham Critical Of Remap Ruling A danger of the recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling ordering reapportionment of the state's senatorial districts is that it ignores the clear-cut preference of Michigan voters, State Rep. Roy H. Brigham told the Bedford Township Republican Club last night. "My main concern about the court's decision is that the 1952 apportionment arrangement which it overthrows written into the Constitution by an overwhelming vote of the people," he said.

He praised the stay of execution order issued by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart against the Michigan court's ruling, thereby permitting the election of senators to be held as scheduled. During the recent session of the Legislature, Gov. John B. Swainson's vetoes of about 12 key bills impeded the Legislature's work and constituted "a serious mistake" for the governor, Rep.

Brigham said, adding that the vetoes damaged Gov. Swainson's political image among the state's voters, including many Democrats who supported some of the vetoed bills. Rep. Brigham asked the support of the approximately 25 Bedford Township Republicans at the meeting in his bid for renomination in the Aug. 7 primary election.

The meeting was held at the Bedford fire station. Drunken Driver Fined And Put on Probation James V. Lee, 47, a machinist, pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge when arraigned today before Associate Municipal Judge James J. Dunn. Lee was ordered to pay a $100 fine forthwith and $60 court costs over the six-months probation imposed by the judge.

He also will lose his driver's license for from 90 days to two years. Lee was arrested about 8:20 p.m. by city police who said was speeding on E. Michigan Avenue. David W.

Farrer, 22, of Detroit, a mechanic, pleaded not guilty to a drunken driving charge when arraigned before Judge Dunn. His trial was set for Aug. 23 and bond was set at $150. Farrer was arrested about 11:30 p.m. yesterday on Emmett Street after a brief chase.

Another motorist told police Farrer had forced him to drive his car onto the sidewalk to avoid a head collision.

Still a Shortage Nurse Program, Needs Reviewed "A bedside nurse shall sweep, dust and mop the patient's room regularly, and keep the coal scuttle filled. If in good standing, she shall have two evenings a week free for courting ing and after five years' service without fault shall receive five cents a day increase in wages." These excerpts from a copy of registered nurses' regulations formulated in 1877, were cited by Mrs. Janice Olson, director of Kellogg Community, College's new two-year associate degree nurses' training pro- gram, as exemplary of the ical changes in nursing educa- tion.

Errors in Voting On Paper Ballots Are Pointed Out There are still a number of citizens who do not understand how to vote correctly in a primary, Secy.

of State James M. Hare said today. In precincts where paper ballots are used and on all absentee ballots, Hare said, the names of candidates each party are listed on separate sides of the ballot. If a intentionally or in error checks names on both sides of the paper ballot, it must be discarded, Hare said. Thousands voters in every primary, he said, disenfranchise themselves by such incorrect voting.

Errors of this nature, Hare added, cannot be made in machine precincts since the voting machines have a locked-in security device. Dairy Queen PARFAY SALE you FRI.

Mrs. Olson described the associate degree program as a two-year course, following the same, two-semester academic schedule as other curricula, using selected learning experiences in such a way as to give clinical knowledge at equal to that provided in threeyear programs offered by some hospitals. 5 Hospitals OK'd She said five hospitals in the immediate area have been surveyed and approved for clinical training use, although not all will be used during the first year of the program. Various other social agencies in the community also utilized as "clinical laboratories," she said.

The nursing students will not be a "cloistered group," Mrs. Olson said, but will take part in campus activities, follow the same academic schedule, with summer vacations, and will be required to study subjects as English and Psychology as well as technical subjects more closely related to medicine. Although admitting there is still a shortage of nurses, Mrs. Olson took a cheerful note regarding improvement of the situation. She said there were only 50 registered nurses per 100,000 population in 1910, but that the number had grown to 160 in 1930, to 250 in 1956 and that "today we are trying to achieve 300 per 100,000 population."

THE BIGGEST day of the month came toward the end as 2,555 followed the processing line and saw the story of how a corn flake is made.

Included in the total were 109 people from foreign lands and people from all 50 states. July's record month brought this year's total to 80,557 who have visited the plant-a 10 per cent increase over the 73,357 visitors during the first 7 months in 1961. What brought them here? Over 10,000 came after hearing of it from others who have taken the tour. Over 16,000 indicated their reason for visiting the plant was that they used Kellogg's products and wanted to see how they were made. Slightly less than 9,000 came to the plant as a result of along they travseeing the signboard, invitations elled through the area.

THE TOUR -noted for its ingenuity--can answer more questions on other interesting attractions, how Battle Creek got its name and where can I get the best food for my kids, in a day than most all other people in the city. Not to be thrown for a loss at anything, one tour in July was conducted in Spanish for a group of Latin Americans by one of the summer guides who is a language major at Michigan State University. The 20 attractive young hostesses who conducted the 833 plant tours spent many evening hours during the month soaking tired feet in order to arise the next morning and don their high heels for the coming day. As each tour ends, the visitors return to the reception area where they are presented a gift package and a Cocoa Krispies sundae. During the month 560 gallons of ice cream were used for the sundaes and oh yes, the girls make the ice cream, too.

Ohio City Official Is Missing; Fear He Met Violence DAYTON, continued Ohio (P- Police officers searching through the night for clues in the disappearance of the city's 26-year-old commissioner, David Pottinger. The Republican official failed to return home Wednesday night after attending a commission meeting. His red station wagon was found on an east side street. Type 0 blood stains were found on the vehicle's gearshift and control panel. Although Pottinger was said to have the same type blood, further tests were to be conducted to determine whether the blood was positive or negative.

Pottinger, vice president and director of the Pottinger Insurance Sales, was believed to have carried about $2,100 in cash at the time of disappearance, leading to a possible robbery motive. Later city police and prosecutor thought the disappearance might have had some conection with information on vice activities in the city on which Pottinger was working. Mrs. Pottinger, who notified police when her husband failed to return home, said he had discussed certain bingo operations which he was thought to be investigating. Found near the station wagon were two empty beer cans which a person resembling Pottinger was said have bought at a nearby cafe.

Also found were a pair of eyeglasses similar to Pottinger's. However, an optometrist's examination showed they were not the same prescription. BOY'S WEAR KNIT SHIRTS $122 Famous brands in a rainbow of colors. Sizes to 20. SPORT SHIRTS KNIT SHIRTS $1.88 LT.
