Allegan County-Offers To Buy School Building ALLEGAN Allegan county commissioners voted 14-6 yesterday to offer $57,000 to the Allegan school district for the former junior high building and its four and one-half acre site on Grove street, Allegan.

ff purchased by the county, the building and site would be used for expanding facilities of the social services and other county departments. A six month option to purchase the building is currently held by the Allegan Community Development which is conducting a feasibility study to see if the building could be used as a combination elderly housing project and community recreation center. The Allegan board of education granted the purchase option in June with the provision that it could be extended for another six months. Commissioners opposed to offering to purchase the property said costs of renovating the 50-year-old building would be prohibitive. The district ceased using the building for classes at the end of the 1970-71 school year.

Presently, it serves as a storage center for school supplies. Kennedy Sought As Running Mate AE Says mer North Carofiaa Gov! Terry 1 "Our people tend to be party loyalists," said Donahue, ad mmistrative assistant to U. S. itcp. MKICII new, is-uuui.

1 spot apparently- foregone; Michigan Democrats like alTothers at the seemingly endless convention .1 turned their attention to who would emerge as McGovern's running mate. Leonard Woodcock, whose fortunes, alternately rose and sank like the Miami Beach barometer, appeared to generate little excitement within his home delegation, a somewhat unique hotbed of support for self-declared vice presidential contender Mike Gravel of Alaska. The popularity among generally conservative AFL-CIO Humphrey unionists and Wal-laceites was partly attributable to careful groundwork done for the Alaskan by Bob Mitchell, a former Democratic state party headquarters aide. "The Wallace people are very turnea on oy wavers desire to open up the process," Mitchell said. "I always thought his work to release the Pentagon Papers would be perceived as a liberal thing.

But even people in the south: seem to be able to identify with the kind of spirit Gravel has about opening up the government." Ulissee DelPiero, a police-: man and Wallace delegate from Detroit, said he favored Gravel because, I don't like to see all those functions secret Some functions must be secret, hut just enough to protect our citizens." 5 5 In the United Auto Workers 1 union section of the McGovern-camp, Sam Fishman, aide to UAW vice president Leonard Woodcock, called the reluctant Edward M.

(AP)-School busing followed Michigan's delegation to the Democratic National Convention with no soothing of the raw nerves the issue stirs at home. Michigan delegates played a major role in the losing fight by a convention minority to plant a strong antibusing plank in the party's platform.

"Busing has brought more disenchantment upon our land than any pther single thing in our times," Mayor Richard J.

Visitors and newsmen were cautioned to remain seated, and cameras and briefcases were searched repeatedly. The governor's wjfe, Corn-, elia, appeared tense as Wallace was being wheeled to the podium.

But after his 12-minute address had ended smoothly and amicably, she smiled and confided to reporters that "he's been waiting to come he's very excited. I think he's very pleased that he can be here." While the governor's address lacked the old fire and was notably void of any personal attacks or threats to quit the party again, it was full of the same litany' which marked his primary campaigning. On foreign aid, he said, "The average citizen is sick and tired and fed up to his ears with his hard-earned tax monies going to countries that spit in our face." On law and order: "Let's take the thugs of this country off the streets." There were a few boos, most of them aimed at his remarks over school busing, but they were effectively dampened by the cheers. A quieter protest was leveled by the entire California delegation, which refused to rise during the ovations at his arrival and departure.
