The methods people employed to beat the heat ranged from cutting down on outdoor activities to cooking less and swimming more However, some stoie souls reported they didn't do anything but put up with the discomfort and hope for a break "I shopped an awful lot." said Marie Forthofer of Plymouth. "I just got up every morning and went out to the malls where it was nice and cool and felt good." She also said the extreme heat pre vented her from doing her usual chores around the house "I did absolutely no housework and very little cooking on the stove. We set up a gas barbeque outside and used it almost every night." DARTLENE BOLIN of Canton said the heat finally got to her and she put in a window air conditioner which had been sitting in the basement all year* "After we got the air conditioner in. it wasn't quite so bad We just figured out ways to say inside and lay around," she said Dave Kraus of Plymouth Township was one of those hardy souls who didn't get overly upset by the weather. "It really wasn't all that bad during the day. I just swam every chance could get." But during the nights it was a different story "It did get kind of tough to sleep So I cranked the old air conditioner up and slept in the basement " Ella and Edward Boorhis of Canton also said they weren't that put out by the heat; but after more than a week started to feel a little uncomfortable "I don't know about Ella," said Boorhis, "but I just thought of all that cold we had last winter and I felt a lot better I think the cold is harder to take than the heat." Canton resident Fran Boles used the weather as an excuse to go out to eat "I don't think I cooked more than twice in the last couple weeks So I guess I did okay with it. But I like to eat out anyway." Buss Jacob of Plymouth Township, on the other hand, said the heat and humidity really knocked him out "It got to me I worked less and didn't go out in the evenings as much All I can say is I'm glad somebody invented air conditioning " Diana Scheppels and Kay Wilson, both Canton residents, also said they tried to arrange their days to spend as much time in air conditioned places as possible. "Nothing beats central air," commented Ms. Wilson She. too. admitted to joining the out-to-dinner crowd more often than was her usual practice. Ms. Scheppels said she did just a little more swimming and "played a whole lot less baseball " «* "* v¥ - m m mmmt plymouth-dlantmt OBITUARIES STEVEN H.

But whatever strategy prevailed, everyone agreed that the first annual Monopoly tournament in the Plymouth-Canton community was nothing but fun "We set up the tournament so adults and children could have some fun playing Monopoly," said Ken Bjornbak of the Family Emporium Staff photos by Gary Caskey "We called Parker Brothers, distributors of the game, and they told us about the sanctioned tournament they have around the country. "We didn't even know about a national tournament." Bjornbak hosted the district tourney at the Penniman Avenue game store last Saturday And for a first-year event. Bjornbak could not have been more pleased, since nearly 60 Monopo ly players, the majority of which were children, came to compete Jerry Geretschlager. 17, a German foreign exchange student living with the Scott family of Amhurst Court in Plvmouth. won the championship and a brand-new 50 Monopoly board Geretschlager also won the right to compete in the resional tourney in Houston next month but won't play since he returned to his homeland earlier tlis week After landing on an opponent's property, Mark Pinto pays up.

Fire tax is reduced Canton taxpayers will y one-fourtn of a mill ess for fire protection this year Township board members Tuesday slashed a quarter mill (25 cents per $1,000 state equalized value) from last year's township-wide tax levy of 1 1 2 mills for fire protection Under the 1977-78 tax levy of 1'4 mills, owners of a $40,000 home will spend $25 to support the fire department—$5 less than they paid last year Canton deputy treasurer Mike Gorman said the reduction was made possible by an expected decrease in the fire department'sexpenditures Although the reduction of a quarter mill means $56,750 less revenue, Gorman savs the 1977-78 fire budget of $283,750 should allow township officials to make up almost $100,000 of the $116,714 deficit the fire depart ment incurred last year The fire department's 1978-79 budget will have to compensate for the remaining deficit of almost $17,000 According to Gorman, the deficit in the fire department's 1976-77 budget resulted from construction of the township's second fire station Completion of the station allows for the millage reduction "I believe by keeping expenditures down, we can make up the small deficit and save the taxpavers some money."

A TANGLEWOOD resident with a lien on his home, admits that "box" is not too pleasant. {Uthouth the Tanglewood Homeowners Association has filed a suit in Wlyne County Circuit Court to force mortgage and title insurance com- 1 pahies to pay the liens and stop foreclosure proceedings, Kummert admits homeowners are afraid of losing their homes. Residents would lose all or most of their down payments, he said, if mortgages are foreclosed and the houses sold at public auction since ^he mortgages and liens would be paid off first. "As the song goes, no one knows the troubles I've seen," said Kummert. "You save money. You build your dream house Then something like this happens that certainly takes the joy out of owning a home." According to Kummert, one Tanglewood resident has even suffered a nervous breakdown over the matter. "There's certainly been a lot of anxiety in our subdivision," he said. "If I had it to do all over again, Pd think twice before buying a new home." said at Tuesday's meeting Board members unanimously approved the millage reduction after holding a public hearing on the fire budget The few persons who spoke at the hearing said they were in favor of any tax reduction All this and a clean windshield loo?

People have claimed at one time or another that onions would do all of these things. We aren't making any such claims for the ordinary onion, but they are worth mentioning since they have been around for thousands of years. Historians speculate that the first onions grew in the middle Asian countries and spread both east and west, finally coming to the New World with the Spanish explorers. Today Americans eat more than 13 pounds of onions each year for every man, , woman and child in the country Onions don't have to be seasoning all the time. They make great vegetables dishes, too. Creamed, or braised, baked or French fried, they are equally delicious.

The final round of four players in eluded two bankrupts which ended the competition Bob Mester finished second, Dorie McCubbrey was third and John Kummer ended fourth The first-round included a 90-mmute short-form of the game The top 12 persons with the most assets advanced to the second round before the final four battled for the championship Most of the children who entered considered the tourney a fun idea and something different to do But there were others who took the game se- riously—despite admitting lots of luck was needed to win In fact. 17-year-old Jeff Ivey brought a book called "1.000 Ways to Play Monopoly " He admitted one had to be "out for blood" in tournament play "I've read this book three times." Ivey said "The best strategy is to soak up all the houses Your best offense will be your best defense " Bnan Flynn, 13. had a different view of the game. "I entered because I thought it would be a fun tournament." Flynn said "I try to buy the yellow properties because it's not expensive and everyone lands on it " Kummer. 9 was the biggest surprise as the fourth place finisher "We always play in my neighborhood." he said "i like to play this game " When asked how long he has played Monopoly. Kummer calmly said "Oh for about one month " A number of competitors gathered for the first annual Plymouth Canton Monopoly Tournament.
