He bad been reveaied shortly after bis reelection to a second term as an imposter using the credentials of a brilliant New York lawyer, now dead. Further investigation disclosed the fraud in his background and his former prison sentences in other states.

Romney found the general guilty of mismanaging the National Guard and ousted him May 20 rouowing a lengtny nearing.

The chief achievement was pro duction ot more man a muuon cars for the first time in his tory.

New Year's Resolutions Seen as Deep-Seated Need By Louis Cassels United Press It's easy to poke fun at New Year's resolutions. But they seem to meet a deeply felt human need.

Since biblical times, the start of a new year has been regarded as a time for "renewal and amendment of life'- Years ago, a wise man wrote down a list of suggestions for human conduct which can easily be converted into New Year's resolutions. He called them "desiderata" a Latin word which may be freely translated as "the essentials." Legend holds "the essentials" were inscribed on a plaque installed in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Baltimore, when it was built in 1692. The present rector of St. Paul's says he has no proof of this story.

The plaque, if it existed, was lost in one of the many remodelings and rebuildings which the old church has gone through over the centuries. uterary detectives nave esti mated that "desiderata" ap peared in print in 1927 in a book of verses by Hoosier poet Max Ehrmann. by Max Ehrmann," copyright by Bruce Humphries Publishers, Boston.) It is not clear whether Ehrmann was passing along a literary treasure he had discovered in St. Paul's Church or whether he composed the lines himself. The poet died in 1945.

In any case, it is to Max Ehrmann that we are indebted either as author or preserver of "desiderata. Here, then, is one wise man's advice on how to get the most out ot me in the Year ahead "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there mav be in silence. "As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your trutn quietly and clearly; listen to others, even the dull ami ignorant; tney too nave tneir story. "Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious uie spim.

"If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. "Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive tor nign ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

'Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; tor in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. 'Nurture strength of snint to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and 'Beyond a wholesome disci pline, De gentle witn yourseit. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as should. "Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

"With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

The resulting clash on what constitutes civic progress has not noticeably subsided although tempers have had time to cool. There are those who still maintain that the racing program would have provided just the impetus needed to "put Allegan on the map." Allegan's city council, "taking the long view." plans to proceed with downtown redevelopment; to improve utilities and other services in the belief that their more conservative approach will eventually attract "a more substantial type of industry." Mayor T. E. Malila, outlining goals for the coming year, has placed, a top priority rating on water and sewer im provements, a solution to city light plant problems; city-wide sidewalk repair; planning for a new utilities department building; pension and job classification for city employees; city charter revision and a stricter building and zoning code.

Meanwhile, councilmen ooiot to areas of progress in toe field of downtown redevelopment.

Like the county jail and court house, the building was financed in advance through the sinking fund meth od. The Youth Home was subse quently named "Weston Hall" in memory ot tronate juage Harold Weston who died in late May. Built on county-owned land near Dnmont Lake, the building houses juvenile offenders and temporarily homeless youths of Allegan and nearby counties and is under jurisdiction of the Pro bate Court. In January supervisors decid ed to re-submit a proposal to voters of a l-rmll 5-year levy to establish a sinking fund for construction of a new county medical care facility.

In April the proposal was approved by a wide majority. Still in doubt, is where the hospital and infirmary will be built. State officials have indi cated they would not approve construction of the new faculty at the site of the present 100-year-old county hospital. At their March session, supervisors voted 24-14 in favor of a resolution urging the Michigan legislature to legalize dog racing. Later, a motion to rescind their gambling vote was made under pressure of county church groups.

This motion was later tabled and the original vote allowed to stand. In May, supervisors voted against a county-wide zoning ordinance promoted by the Allegan Chamber of Commerce. County park lands were extended during 1965 and a Parks and Recreation Commission established in August.

Allegan attorney Leo W.

Hoffman, son of former 4th District Con-' gressman Clare E. Hoffman, created headlines in Septem ber when he refused to seek new trial for a convicted murderer. Hoffman will appear before Circuit Judge Raymond L. Smith Jan. 12 to show cause why he has defied a state Constitution ruling which decrees that "in every crimin al prosecution the accused shall have an appeal as a matter of right." A Hoffman law partner, Fred Mc Donald, traveled to Vietnam in October to defend a V.

James Rolfe, Allegan high auuuuj civics instructor, witn 689 votes topped the five-way contest for two city council posts.

His nearest competitor, Robert Bergstrom, an account ant tor a local second with 459 tallies and so secured a seat on the coun cil for a 4-year term. John Nahan, Allegan attor ney, dropped a political bomb shell with his announcement in May that he would switch from the Republican to the Democratic party and run in next year's primary tor nom ination to the post of 4th District Congressman. The office has been held for the past two terms By riepubucan Edward Hutchinson, Fennville. This entire area was shaken at the onset of 1965 by an unprecedented strike called at the Allegan Division of Rockwell-Standard Corporation, Allegan's largest single employer. About 600 men were on strike for almost a week while Local 709 UAW-CIO, in conjunction with six other locals scattered about the midwest, sought pay out some accomplishments of increases and other benefits in with the negotiations manage ment in FittsDtirgn.

New local and national contracts were ratified Jan. 12 and the Allegan men were back on the job the next day. Traffic fatalities in Allegan County soared from 13 in 1964 in 1965. The worst acci dent occurred Jan. 3 when two Allegan youths and a Holland girl met death when their car skidded on ice northwest of Allegan and struck a tree.

Killed were Terrance West-gate 18, Gary Peters 17 and Sharon Unruh 17. The most recent flurry in Sheriff Robert Whitcomb's department was caused by hunter's discovery of human bones Nov. 22 in a woods, near Hamilton. The "bones mystery" deepens as the days pass and Whitcomb says University of Michigan experts are still attempting to determine the origin ot tne bones tound near an old grave site. The April, 1965 tornado, sweeping across the northern tier of Allegan townships, took one life and left $1,000,000 in damages in its wake.

Allegan county again qualified for state snow removal assistance to the tune of $34,731.51. A final K-12 County Commit tee report in December seeks to consolidate some 50 primary ana non-mgn school districts with nine high school centers in accordance with a new state law. If the plan is approved by the state committee it will then be put to a county vote before being implemented.

The Health Center on Dec. 9 celebrated its 25th anniversary of service to the community. Other 1965 community high lights included, naming a Com munity schools director in May to conduct an adult educational- recreational program patterned after the Mott Foundation pro gram originating in unt. In July Allegan received a $34,538 federal Economic Op portunity grant to finance its community action program.

Dog Notes By Peter Boggs Tie Your Dog Up Occasionally I would rather see a dog kept in a small kennel yard than see him kept chained to a post or kennel bouse. But it tie is to be tied up, make sure that the rope or chain is long enough to give him plenty of freedom. Even if your dog is kept in kennel yard or in your nouse, ne snouid be taugnt to be tied up and to remain quiet. Often it is necessary to fasten him for a short time when at a neighbor's house, or when be is on a shopping tour, or in a hotel, or at any of a number of other times. Any well-trained dog should learn to suomit to tnis Rind ot treat ment.

Feed Egg Shells. Too As most of you readers are aware, raw eggs are an essential part of any dog's diet. From the time my dogs are pups, I feed them eggs broken into a dish with the shells crushed and mixed in. The lime content in the shells is good for a dog's bone development. The average dog will swal.

low the egg and the bunch of shell fragments easily, especially so if he has been fed them since puppy hood. The shells are a benefit to his diet and do not involve much trouble on your part. You don't have to feed your dog an egg every day, but it is a good idea to do so once or twice a week. When they are growing pups, four times a week is not too often.

He was brought home for Oct 12, Coktmbos Day. 255, 10 less than a year ago. There were 152 criminal cas es filed in 1964 and this total jumped up to 186 this year (1965), Nieusma said.

There were 100 judgments granted in 1965 by Judge Raymond L. Smith, a drop from the total of 144 in 1964 and 194 the year before. Many other activities for the clerk's office were reported by Deputy Clerk Vivian Nuistuw. There were 3,368 certified copies of births, deaths, marriages and discharge certificates issued, a big increase over 1964, when 2,928 were issued. This reflects the growth of the county, which now has more than 100,000 residents.

Workers in Nieusma's office issued 244 nortary commissions, recorded 1,684 births, furnished 165 veterans with certified copies of papers and issued 858 marriage licenses. The clerk spent seven days with the tax allocation board and 147' days in Circuit Court and the deputy clerk spent 16 days at meetings of the Board I am sure you have seen dogs unused to being tied up. mey cringe ana cower ana tremble during the rare times it is necessary to fasten them in this way. Some plunge and struggle and yelp in a panic-stricken effort to get free. Others yank at the bonds until they are half strangled.

Now, all this wouldn't happen if their owners took time to accustom them to being tied up. It isn't hard to do. A few minutes each day of being tied up at home when they are young will teach any dog in a week or two that there is no danger or discomfort connected with such treatment. It is something every dog should know so why not start teaching your dog now. It really is easy to do.
