Smith of Holland has ordered the Berrien County Board of Supervisors to schedule an election Nov.

4 on a proposal to annex the North Shore area to Benton Harbor. A week ago, the board refused to schedule the election the grounds then petitions asked the board annex only the area to Benton Harbor and said nothing about setting a date for an election on the proposal. Stanley R. Banyon, publisher of the Benton Harbor NewsPalladium, filed a petition Circuit Court asking that the board be required to set an election. Banyon is a resident of North Shore.

Smith ruled the failure of the petitions to specify that an election should be held was only a technicality and that the state annexation law specifies the board should set an election. At its meeting last week, the board approved separate elections in the Fairplain areas of Benton and St. Joseph townships. But it refused to approve the North Shore election on grounds the area had been "gerrymandered" even though County Prosecutor John Spelman told the board the petitions were legal and the board could not argue the merits of annexation. If voters in the Fairplain area approve annexation to Benton Harbor, the size of Benton Harbor will be doubled and will gain about 6.000 in population.

And Benton Harbor's size will be nearly tripled if both the Fairplain and sparsely-settled North Shore areas are annexed.

This important day of confession to Judaism observed the day Moses returned from the mountain for the second time with the tablets of the Ten Commandments, signifying the Lord's forgiveness of the Israelites for their profane worship of golden calf. This was also the single day considered holy enough for the High Priest in the great temple in Jerusalem to enter the Holy of Holies.
