If he can keep the cats and dogs separate at the March 16 special session he will have earned for himself the name of one of the major legislative manipulators in recent history. After his four-day blitzkrieg of the legislature last November when he revamped the state corrections department, none will say positively he do it again the odds are heavy against him. Invitation to trouble consisted of notice he was considering 12 subjects for legislation, each so highly controversial they are bound to set some important segment of the state baying for blood. It is hard to judge just which of his proposals might be the most troublesome, but certainly three constitutional amendments stand well up on the list.

The advancement of Ihree specific changes and his attitude of late is taken by many observers to mean he will not break his back trying to push a general revision of the constitution this year. Sigler told reporters several months ago he planned to personally "carry the for wholesale constitutional reform, but now it looks like his gridiron tactics will be more of the and variety. But he can be expected to press vigorously for his three immediate pet changes: Removal of the limitation on salaries of legislators and state officials, a four- year term for governor and county officials, and granting the governor power to appoint the attorney general and secretary of state. The immediate reaction to these in Lansing is that Sigler will have trouble selling them to the people. The voters already have turned down higher salaries for legislators several times and been hostile to other attempts to increase the power or term of elective officials.

The proposaal to allow (he governor to appoint other state officials of his is being ball.vhooed by political scientists as something new in the line of efficiency, bid history students recall that first constitution, that of 1835, gave the governor that power. For reasons associated with the growth of democratic feeling, Michigan dropped that wer in its 1830 constitution and ever since has elected its top state officials. Opponents now are asking whether progress means going back 100 years. disclosure of his program contains two astute political moves, In the opinion of observers. One is his suggestion of four year terms for county officers, a plan well calculated to draw political support for his campanion idea of giving the governor four years in office.

The other is his suggestion for fair employment practice legislation. The governor well knows that no subject has irritated the legislature more in recent essslons than F. E. P. C.

And that he has little chance of getting a law which means anything. But It is considered good politics in an election year when the Negro vote in Wayne county is wavering between the Democratic and Wal- laceite Progressive tickets, Sigler says the special session should last or four That is generally tuken with a grain of salt here. Unless the lawmakers simply throw up their hands and go home, or unless they knuckle down at once and do as Sigler tells them, the session might last eight weeks in the opinion of many. The reason is simply that Sigler proposes to submit issues which have been tough legislative subjects for years: excise taxes for cities, regulation of finance companies, tinkering with the pet anti-oleo law, return of one mill of the property tax to the state, stricter pollution controls, junking the inheritance tax, pensions for judges and a new legal definition of agricultural processing under the sales tax law. On the side, however, will be the fact that it is an election year and the G.

O. legislators want to rock the boat too hard. The legislature recently has shown itself peculiarly sensitive to party appeals foi unity and a program of results to show the voters. Add to that the fact that Sigler has grown in stature and in his ability to handle the legislature. He has dropped his.

initial policy of lotting the legislature its head and is willing to slug it out with anyone. He knows more about the legislative operation and state government. He is showing increasing interest in the proper operation of government and less in tub-thumping.

Power for yourBuiek LAST OF OLD LIGHTHOUSE LAMPS A kerosene-powered lamp, one of few remaining on the Great Lakes, is lighted by assistant keeper Henry Vavrina at Little Sable light near Hart, Mich. The big lens on the mantle-type provides a beam visible as much as 20 miles into the lake. (AP Photo) BY HERB AUER The Muskegon Chronicle Hart, Feb.

28 one of the few remaining kerosene illuminated lights still in op- eiation on the Great Lakes, the Little Sable Light Station near here has proved a guiding beacon te Lake Michigan shipping for nearly three-quarters of a century. Established in 1874f the station is situated on the most westerly promontory of land jutting into the lake from the eastern shore. Its beacon, visible as far as 20 miles out into the lake, has guided shipping since the days ot the windjammers. The first record of numerous shipping disasters that dot the log of the old station was made Aug. 6, 1875, when the lumber schooner, was grounded near the tower.

The log entry, all saved," was recorded by James Davenport, the first keeper. Records of shipwrecks became numerous in the late 1800's when western Michigan was the lumbering capital of the world and schooners carried Michigan lutn- bei to Chicago and other lake points. The log bears mute testimonev of the heroism modestly recorded by the light keepers of those days Bourisaw, Lawrence Kilmurry, George Buttars, Joseph Hansen, and J. A. Hunter, who served during the first 25 years of the existance.

It was not until 1907 that the word was first entered in the log by Hunter who tended the light from 1899 to 1922. Word of the costly Armistice Day Lake Michigan storm of 1940 was first flashed from the Little Sable station, telling that ships were breaking up off shore. The Novadoc finally was beached three miles north of Little Sable after the freighters William B. Davock and Anna C. Minch had been lost with a toll of 77 lives.

The light first was a three-wick arrangement that required constant watching but in 1916 the kerosene-powered brass mantlc- type lamp was installed. The trudge up the 136 spiral steps to the top of the tower is made I more exhausting for the keeper and his assistant because they must carry the kerosene by hand. The big lens on the lamp, more than four feet across, requires tedious hours of polishing. Each year the 108-foot tower receives a coat of white paint, adding to the labors. A mechanism of weights keeps the light, which generates 25,000 candlepower, revolving on a clocklike pattern.

Every five seconds out of thirty the powerful beam flashes. Officer in charge Ray Robinette, his assistant, Henry Vavrina, and their families, live in two apartments at. the station. Snowbound for 21 days last year during the big February storm, they often are isolated from the nearest home four miles away, and from Hart, the Oceana county seat, 12 miles east. In former days all supplies were landed by a lighter in the fall, but a rough road now provides access to the tower along Silver Lake, a popular resort area.
