Earl Ford Pays To Albion College ALBION Albion College will receive this week the second and final payment of a grant from the Ford Founda-. tion to help raise faculty salaries. The amount of the payment is $158,000, and the total grant was. $308,500. Albion is one of 630 privately-supported colleges and universities in the United States which receive similar checks totaling This amounts to abouf half of an appropriation of $260,000 voted by the foundation in 1955.

First payments were made in July, 1956. The total grant equals about as much as each of the schools paid for instruction costs in the 1954-55 academic year. In each case, the money was to be added to the endowment fund and the income applied to increase faculty salaries. After 10 years, the principal can be used either for further salary support or other academic purpose Other Michigan schools receiving these grants include Alma College, Acquinas College, Calvin College, Emmanuel Missionary College, Hillsdale College, Hope College, Kalamazoo College, Marygrove College, Mercy College, Nazareth College, Siena Heights College, and the University of Detroit. In all, $3,802,500 has been granted iO Michigan schools.

The largest amount per state went to New about 25 millions. Massachusetts was second with 25 millions, and Pennsylvania third with 23 millions. Albion Stunt Jockeys Rebound From Crash to Greater Heights descendants of the Keeslar family who were pioneers and who purchased the farm from the Chase family. The wording on the marker says: Bishop Philander Chase of the Episcopal Church, set tled here in 1832, naming this area Gilead, and holding the first service of the Episcopal Church in western Michigan and for four years conducting services in an area of 75 miles Lfrom this site. A house, school and barn were erected on -this farm.

The present owner's ancestors purchased this farm from the Chase family. This tablet erected in 1957, celebrating the 125th anniversary. Bishop Philander Chase came from an English family who settled in New England in 1640. He was born in New Hampshire, Dec. 14, 1775, the fifteenth child of Dudley and Al-lace Chase.

He entered Dartmouth College at 16 and during his student years his family erected a church building in the east that is still standing. On the 10th of May, 1798, three years after graduation, Bishop Chase was ordained to the diaconate in St. George's-Church in New York state. In 1799, he was priested and went to Pough- keepsie as a rector of two par ishes and a seminary. Founded Parishes, Schools Following a period of six years spent in New Orleans, Bishop Chase went into Ohio to found and develop many Ohio parishes, Kenyon College and Bexley Hall Seminary at Gam-bier, Ohio, funds for the schools being obtained by the bishop during his, tour of Eng land.

In 1832, Bishop Chase moved to the Gilead lake area in Michigan, holding the first Episcopal services at Adams' mill west of Bronson. He also conducted services in Indiana. In 1836 'the diocese of Illinois was formed and asked him to be the bishop, which he accepted, in 1839 he founded Jubilee College in Peoria County even going to England to obtain funds for it's erection. For two general conventions of the Episcopal Church he served as senior bishop. Bishop Chase died in 1852 after being injured in a carriage accident.

A confirmation service will be held in conjunction with the dedication ceremony. lli -t ganized in October and sponsored by Glen Porter, proprietor of Porter's Bike Shop, meets twice monthly at the American Legion Hall. Consisting of about 35 dues-paying members the club is divided into three classes: junior, seniors and open, depending on the experience and age of the member. Because the club has been formed only since last winter, members have not yet engaged in active competition with other model airplane clubs. At the present time, there is only one flying circle located on the field, but plans are underway to build runways for radio controlled planes and to install a weather sock and ground wind vane.

Eventually the club intends to purchase red jackets with emblems for each member. All model planes will also be marked with an emplem. Three club members, Jerry Gable, Bud Herzog and Terry Conley, are working on a radio-controlled model which should be ready next month. These planes, weighing about 2 pounds and powered by a motor not By BILL BOLOTXIK ALBION Now that summer is here and perfect flying weather is the rule rather than the exception, mechanically minded model airplane builders will take over a 30-acre plot of land east of the city every Sun- iday afternoon. There they will test the fruits of a long winter labor spent in designing and building of model airplanes.

But they will also have a chance to. test their flying skill, which is the second phase of their hobby. A trip to the field this week on a rather windy day must have been disheartening to some of the enthusiasts, as three planes caught in a gust of hit the ground with a shattering of balsa wood and metal. While not completely destroyed, the planes would require many hours of rebuilding in order to be able to fly again, but the Albion Stunt Jockeys did not seem to mind. A rebuilding job would perhaps mean a better designed plane for future competition against other, clubs.

'3 Classes The Albion Stunt Jockeys or to much bigger than a book of matches, have keen known to hit 80 mph. The type of fuel used is a mixture of castor oil and gasoline. The castor oil is used for lubrication since gasoline does not break it down. Insured Affiliated with the Academy of Model Aeronautics, each member of an authorized model flying club must carry a $50,000 life insurance policy and a property damage policy which is furnished by the academy. Fortunately, it is a rare occurrence when someone is injured.

The boys know how to fly their planes and each club has rules which are strictly enforced. The field, which the boys are in the process of remodeling, was given to them for their use by Wilbur A. Johnson, president of Johnson Manufacturing Company of Albion.

It has only been within the last few months that a definite change could be noted in the physical aspect of the station. The local ponds and buildings were constructed in the early 1920's with few noticeable changes until the spring of 1957. Dr. John Williams, head of the research station here since its establishment, reports that about $16,000 has been or will be spent before fall in converting the facilities for better research. One of the first steps taken was the laying of 2,600 feet of pipe from Bates Pond which is located south of the station, to the main building.

This fresh spring water will be used to provide the ideal type of water necessary for warm water- fish experiments. The entire main building is being remodeled too. The two old tanks were removed and five new ones installed for experimental work. Each of these five tanks can be divided into two or even four smaller tanks depending on the type of experiment being carried out. Pipes laid in the floor will run fresh water into the tanks as needed, or drain them.

All pipes have been laid with removable steel plates over the top to aid in repair work. A former storage room on the main floor is being converted into an aquarium room where special species will be displayed. An even more drastic change is being made on the second floor. Formerly this area was just one large, room used primarily for storage. Now being completed" on this floor are offices, a laboratory, a shower room, dormitory facilities for fishery crews brought into the area for short periods and a well-equipped dark room for developing pictures taken during experiments.

But the lack of proper facilities has not kept the research men from carrying out their regular work. At the present time they are trying to regulate the population of pan fish in some lakes throughout the state by "tranquilizing" them with drugs, removing the overpopulation or undesirable fish and reviving the remaining ones. Those revived are "stored" at Hastings and later returned to the lakes after the effects of the drug have worn off. Another interesting experiment being carried out is the raising of muskellunge for planting in nearby lakes. Dr.

Williams said that more than 20,000 one-inch muskies are now in rearing ponds. Within another week or two they will start to feed them suckers in order to prevent their eating each other. It is hoped that by the end of the summer at least 20 per cent of these will survive for planting in Gun Lake. "Of course," Dr. Williams says, "if we fail to get the necessary food to them in time, or if other adverse conditions arise, we may only end up with 50 or 100 muskies for planting." Fewer Claims For Unemployment Checks ALBION Claims for unemployment compensation, made once weekly in Albion, have dropped slightly to 371.

Checks issued to employes who have established their eligibility numbered 227. Last week 239 checks were issued.

Some of the well-known establishments of the earlier years were: The Charles Bennett Furniture Co.

located alongside the Grand Trunk railway where Wilcox-Gay is now. It is interesting to note that the enclosed bridge across Seminary street connecting the two buildings was built in 1871. The Charlotte Brewing was established in the spring of 1900. The products of and Mrs. Mueller Marshall Couple Celebrates 50th Anniversary MARSHALL Mr.

and Mrs. Martens H. Mueller of Stuart Lake, Marshall, who were married 50 years on June 20, will be complimented at an open house on June 30 from 2 to 4 o'clock in the west parlors of Brooks Memorial Methodist Church in Hosting the open house will be their son and daughter and their families, Air. and Mrs. Galen P.

(Marrietta) Potter of Downev. and Mr. and Mrs. Martens E. Mueller of Dearborn.

Mr. Mueller was born in 1887 in Indianapolis, and lived there through his school years. Mrs. Mueller was born in 1888 in Marion County, and lived there until her marriage. The couple was married on June 20, 1907, in Jndianapolis At the time of their marriage Mr.

Mueller was engaged in farming with his father on the old Hush Gould farm near St. Mary's Lake, where the family had moved four years earlier. In 1911 the couple returned to Indianapolis where he was employed as a bookkeeper for his uncle the wholesale com mission business. They re turned to Battle Creek in 1918 and Mr. Mueller was engaged in farming the Ellsworth Puf fer farm in Pennfield Town ship.

They moved to Marshall in 1925 and until his retirement in 1953 Mr. Mueller was employed as a carpenter for several local contractors. In 1948 they "moved to the Stuart Lake address as a year-around home. Mr. and Mrs.

Mueller have four, grandchildren, Gale Ann and Garry Potter and Teddy and Maurice Mueller. the institution were pale ale and London porter which were guaranteed to be the absolutely pure product of malt and hops, made in the old-fashioned way, and free from all adulteration One of Charlotte's largest and most important manufac turing institutions was the Do! son Automobile Co. located alongside the Grand Trunk railway on W. Lovett st. The Charlotte Manufacturing one of the leading and perhaps the pioneer manufactur ing establishment, was founded in 1873 for the purpose of manufacturing staves and head ings.

The Beach aianuf acturing established in 1904, is an example of an industry that is still making Charlotte famous. The progressiveness, experience, and practicability of the Beach brothers rapidly built up a business destined to play an important part in the growth of this city. Another industry of long standing is the Charlotte Chair Co. Prior to the factory being located on N. Cochran, there was a plant located next to the place where the Pet Milk factory is now.

A relatively new industry, Aluminum Extrusions, has provided more employment in recent years. This manufacturing concern, headed by William Dunlap, president, could play an important part in the industry for the future of Charlotte.
