1 Some $3 Million Conventions Could Boost Economy A full-scale convention season could enrich the ecenomy of 1 Port Huron by close to $3 million. That was the word from Convention Bureau of the Greater Port Huron-Marysville Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night at the Holiday Inn. el bureau gathered business leaders from the area to seek financial and manpower support for expanded convention program. James K. Ramsey, chairman of the Convention Bureau, appealed to the gathering for financial support.

The bureau proposes a $10,000 budget to "get the program off the ground," Mr. Ramsey said. After that, the program should be self-sustaining from fees received from motels, hotels, restaurants and others who benefit most directly, he added. Port Huron has unparalleled advantages as a convention center for Michigan-based organizations, the group was told. But these advantages must be sold to the organizations through a well-financed program, it was pointed out.

If 15 conventions, averaging 1,500 delegates for a three-day stay were brought to Port Huron, it is estimated that spend- Burtchville Township Firemen's Pay Plan Okayed The Burtchwilled Township Board Wednesday a compensation plane that will pay each township fireman on the basis of the number of meetings and emergency runs he attends. The board allotted $2,000 a year for the program. That figure is $275 more than the township would have paid 23 volunteer firemen under the old pay plan of $75 a man each year. The fire cheif will be paid $150 in addition to compensation as a regular fireman. Each man would receive County One Of Twelve Included In VD Project St.

Clair County has been selected by the Michigan State Medical Society as one of 12 counties designated special target areas in a venereal disease control project. The 12 counties have the greatest incidence of norrhea in Michigan according to state statistics. The counties are to get special attention in public and professional education campaigns to be carried out in November and December in the venereal disease control project, according to the Society. Posters and public education materials are being made available to high schools, health clinics, youth serving organizations, parents groups and colleges throughout the counties. The number of diagnosed cases of gonorrhea exceeded two million during 1970, the Society explained, with Public Health authorities estimating that millions more have the disease but are unaware of it.

Sixty cent of the gonorrhea cases and 45 per cent of the syphilis cases are in persons under 25 years of age, Bomb Threat Superintendent of School Robert W. Coulter today said police! are investigating a bomb threat at Port Huron High School about 7:50 a.m. today. Police reportedly were able to trace the call and a suspect was being questioned. The 1,840 students' remained in school.

it is noted. The 12 target area a are Wayne, Genesee, counties. Oakland, Ingham, Kalamazoo, Washtenaw, Muskegon, Calhoun, Saginaw, Berrien and St. Clair. No Change In Results Of Election The Board of Canvassers made a couple changes in the official City election returns Wednesday after it went over figures.

Neither made any difference in the results of the election. A 10 vote error was found in the City Council race. The count by canvassers added the 10 votes to the total of Patrick C. Malane, bringing his total to 1,708 votes and tying him with Robert E. Krenke for eighth and ninth place in the voting to fill seven Council seats.

The other error was a nine vote mistake in the number of yes votes on the Washington Avenue vacating proposition. The proposition had nine fewer yes votes than were reported in unofficial results. The proposition to abandon the Washington Avenue right of way from Twelfth Avenue west to the Black River passed by a 2,617 to 1,338 vote, according to the canvasser's tally.
