FOR NIMRODS Ban Knives In Taverns Upper Peninsula Troubles Blamed on the Blades Hunters will have to check their hunting knives with the barmaid if they. want to mix beer drinking with their nimrod activities, under a bill approved by the state house of representatives Tuesday. Sponsored by four upper peninsula lawmakers, the bill makes it a misdemeanor to carry hunting knives into any tavern. It passed 63-37. Rep.

Louis Mezzano (D- Wakefield) said there have been several instances where knife-carrying and drinking have caused trouble in many places in the upper peninsula. Describing himself as a "SearsRoebuck hunter," Rep. Joseph G. O'Connor (D-Detroit) said he liked to display all his paraphernalia when he went hunting. How about hand axes, he asked.

Aren't they dangerous, too? Rep. Emil Peltz (R-Rogers City) tried to amend the bill to apply only to the upper peninsula. We don't have any trouble down here, Peltz argued. Enough lower peninsula lawmakers disagreed to defeat the Peltz amendment.

"Woman in her middle years faced with a crisis, not unlike that of a man facing Dr.

Lawrence Frank, New York, authority on human development, told conferees who close their three-day session Wednesday noon. The woman in her middle years "must discover he said, "what she now can and wants to do." "Few women can explore the possibilities alone, and there are at present only a scattering of agencies prepared to help." MUST DEVELOP OWN WAYS Women, themselves, he added, will have to develop the facilitiesconsultant services, group activities, adult education and the like. Dr. Harry E. August of Detroit, member of the Michigan state mental health commission, said: "One of the basic tasks of development on women from the emotional standpoint is the achievement of what has been called "acceptance of the feminine role." He said that psychological manifestations during the menopause reactions to it and not components of it that they are typical expressions of lifelong patterns of reaction, no different from the personal adjustments to other critical experiences in other periods.

Four separate discussion groups Tuesday night explored: ways of utilizing and channeling voluntary services of middle aged people the community; what education and the woman herself can do to prepare her for her middle years; how women may be educated so that they respond to physical and emotional changes during menopause without fear and anxiety; and the psychological preparation of both family and self for the new-found freedom of women in their middle years. Symposium participants Wednesday morning learned how women of one community are helping to solve the dilemma of the middle aged housewife who wants to go back to work and doesn't know where to turn. Mrs. Philip LaFollette, wife of Wisconsin's former governor, explained the formation of Madison's three-year-old Women's Service Exchange- a pilot project in providing employment counseling and opportunities for older women. She explained the formation of committee of strong women leaders -representative of churches, press, organized labor, women's organizations; the utilization of existing agencies, selection of the counsellor, the actual function of the service in Madison and the start of a second exchange in Oshkosh.

Hazel Kyrk, Wash ington, D. internationally recognized authority on family economics, and former professor at the University of Chicago, who spoke Wednesday. Four factors, she indicated, determine the employment opportunities- age, sex, skills and competence and the limits which the middle-aged woman sets for hereslf such as hours and places she will work and her own confidence, or lack of it. Goals for the employment of women in their middle years should include effective use of woman power; personally and socially rewarding roles for the women; equal freedom of choice and opportunities with men, and arrangements such that the employed woman can maintain her bilities in the home and family. Water Plan Is Lashed East Lansing Businessman Criticizes Fluoridation Action by Council Fluoridation of East Lansing water, approved by the city council Monday night, was bitterly critisized by an East Lansing businessman Wednesday.

William L. Fuller, 418 Division rebuked the council for imposing "mass medical treatment" on 10,000 East Lansing residents without seeking public sentiment at the polls. He accused the five-man city, council of assuming too much authority in ordering fluoridation for the entire population without first ordering a public referendum. "RIGHT TO VOTE" "I think the people of East Lansing should be given the right to vote on a matter as controversial as water he said. Fuller also criticized Mayor Max R.

Strother. "Mayor Strother told me the day after election (April 5) that the council would take no immediate but action would on the give the fluoridation people question, opposed to the treatment a chance to hold a town meeting." Fuller said he has received telephone calls since the council action from a great many East Lansing people who are not in favor of the plan. He said he felt the council action was based on "lobbying" by several civic and school groups in the city which do not properly reflect the opinion of all the people. "My personal feeling is that no man should have to have chemicals or medicines introduced into his drinking water it is to protect him from harm or he definitely wants it there," Fuller said. CITY CHARTER "Certainly, five men on the city council should not assume the authority of putting this chemical in the water without giving the people a voice in the matter." He said he was surprised that the city charter of Lansing gives the council authority to order such a treatment of the public water supply without providing opportunity for a review of the action by the people.

Fuller said he hopes enough people in the city will become interested in the matter, in the 90 days before fluoridation is scheduled to begin, to take action to stop the treatment until after a referendum can be ordered.

Press Coverage of Crimes, Trials Discussed at Meet The first amendment to the tees freedom of the press.

The every equal protection of Sometimes, in the press coverage between these constitutional conflicts was discussed at a monthly gan professional chapter of Sigma Delta Chi national professional fraternity, at Maria's restaurant Tuesday night. Speakers were Circuit Judge Frank Fitzgerald of Detroit; Russell Bowers, Flint attorney, and chairman of the Michigan Bar association 1 public relations committee, and Ken McCormick, Pulitzer prize-winning reporter for the Detroit Free Press. Essentially, Judge Fitzgerald said, it is up to the editor to decide how far news coverage can go without hindering a fair trial. Contempt proceedings are the court's device to punish excesses. Mr.

McCormick cited instances where the outcome in court has been influenced by the handling of news even before a case came up for trial. Often, he said, facts which might better be revealed in court are given out in advance by principals in the case. Because of competition, newsmen are obliged to carry such material into print. However, he noted that early details of a crime, particularly while it still is unsolved, frequently help to bring a criminal to justice. Self-imposed restrictions against advertising may push some lawyers into issuing press releases to get their name before the public, Mr.

Bowers acknowledged. He said bar groups now are working on a national code of ethics for lawyers and the press. Judge Fitzgerald mentioned a provision of the Michigan criminal code under which a felony suspect is entitled to a prompt, open hearing. If this right were more widely demanded, he suggested, many facts could be presented in a manner more conductive to a fair trial. Many apeals now being filed by prison inmates are based on a contention that they were denied such hearings when first arrested.

It will take years and many individual cases, the speakers agreed, to decide such questions as the use of cameras, radio microphones and television cameras in the limits courtroom, on as well as in the proper news writing a Kenneth R. West, Sigma Delta Chi chapter president, was chairman of the meeting. Ed Warner arranged the program. Oldest Twins? KENNEWICK, Wash (UP) James Johnston of Kennewick claims he and his brother, Frank, of Woodstock, are the oldest twins in the nation. a Johnston said they were 90 years old on Jan.

22. They were born in Broughton, Canada, about the time President Lincoln was making his Gettysburg address. They parted in the 1890s when James came west. They last saw each other in 1913. In our history of service to the people of the Lansing area, families have often expressed a desire for a deferred payment plan.

We, at, Gorsline-Runciman Funeral Home do not. offer a plan of this sort, because the word "plan" always connotates to us a certain amount of rigid inflexibility. Instead, we make available extended terms to all who call us in time of need; terms which are determined by mutual agreement terms which will meet the particular requirements of the family.
