Efforts to save the falls area, one of Michigan's natural beauty spots, were inspired by a Free i-ress story by tsert Stoll, out door writer, that the district was danger of being destroyed.

The land is part of a 000-acre tract which Celotex recently bought from the Ford Motor Co. The corporation's holdings included 800 acres which Michigan had mapped out several years ago for recreation purposes. Williams and Mansell are negotiating an exchange under which the State will acquire the additional 700 acres originally plotted for park purposes.

Mansell said: "Neither I nor my associates, and certainly not the corporation directors or stockholders, ever had any intention of despoiling any of the beauty spots in Michi gan.

E. C. of Birmingham writes. "It's unsanitary if you don't bathe every day, if you don't have a mystic blue light in your automatic clothes washer to destroy germs. If you don't have the right detergent for washing dishes.

"A woman's entire life is devoted to washing everything, to killing germs, to deep-freezing to knock off bacteria and so I became aghast a little while ago to discover a young bride washing off eggs. I IIOPK you won't think me amiss a flounderer against progress if I wrote this little note warning young wives in this sanitized age not to wash off eggs. "For the hen nature puts a natural coating about the egg. A kind of muscilage. And when you wash eggs you destroy this natural coating, destroying an egg's inherent keeping quality, its flavor, you hasten its deterioration.

"I wonder if young brides, brought up to wash everything, know this? I wonder if in this sanitary age whether they know about letting yeast for the finest flapjacks ever made ferment on the back of a stove? That rochefort cheese they prize originated in 'unsanitary' caves. That you don't wash, wash, wash IF YOU THINK I haven't made my point clear ask the Department of Agriculture if it doesn't instruct farmers not to wash eggs before sending them to market." We think we should thinking of all young brides polishing eggs with steel wool before putting them in the refrigerator warn them that this is often contrary to the laws of nature. Like insisting that every day your husband take a hath after all the hot water has run out There's a limit to sanitation. The Wise Guys Get Taken In this area of the wise guy we sometimes think about Sam, the village halfwit. Everybody in the town knew that Sam wasn't bright.

And so they took to showing off with him every day to each other to any stranger who showed up in town. They'd call poor, simple Sam over and extend a nickel to him on one hand and a dime on the other. And Sam's face would brighten and he'd reach over and take the nickel, saying, "I like the big one best." So Sam would take his nickel and they'd laugh and laugh. Until one day a kindly minded guv called Sam aside and said, "Look, Sam. Don't you know the difference That little dime is worth 10 rents.

The bis one's only worth five cents." "Yup, I knowed it," said Sam, "but if I take the little one no more nickels!" So Sam went on his way taking the nickels from the wise guvs. ft n- Queen Linda Johnson oy 8, Kills Playmate, 6, With Gun A 6-year-old boy was wounded fatally Wednesday night by a shotgun in the hands of an 8-vear-old playmate.
