THE CASS RIVER crested at 8.8 feet Saturday after Friday's
all-day driving rain. It was nearly four feet higher than
the normal five feet measured at noon Friday.
WATER STOOD in fields everywhere following the steady
rains that drenched the area day after day for over a week.
MOWING LAWNS
Mowing lawns to the correct
height increases weed
resistance. Two inches is the
best height for upright grasses
like bluegrass and fescues.
Bent, zoysia and Bermuda
grass should be cut at threefourths
inch or lower.
SPORTS FANS!
By H. M. Bulen
Here's an oddity from golf
.... Almost every great
golfer in the world in the old
days was from England or Scotland--but
today, oddly enough,
practically none of the world's
top golfers are from England
or Scotland .... Golf experts
can't figure out why that
happened.
Did you know the only reason
golf courses have sand traps
is because the oldest golf
courses in the world in Scotland
are situated by the sea
and sandy spots are on the
courses by nature .... So
when other courses were built
everywhere else, sand traps
were added to make the courses
like the original ones in Scotland.
Ted Williams made an interesting
observation recently
.... He said the single most
difficult thing to do in all of
sports is to hit a baseball
being thrown at you 90 miles
per hour by a big league pitcher
.... He says that's harder
than throwing a pass in football,
or hitting a ball that's lying
still in golf, or shooting a
basket in basketball ....
Whether you agree or not, you
can have some fun arguing about
that one.

A little small town hospitality was shown the Rev.
Van Dellen, new pastor at the Cass City Lutheran Church,
when he moved in the other day.
Lost in the moving shuffle were a gas stove and refrigerator
and the young Van Dellens with a five-month-old daughter
needed them.
Ken Eisinger at Fuelgas came up with a gas stove and
one of those special heavy duty appliance trucks was borrowed
from Stan Asher at Thumb Appliance. A parishioner
tossed in a used refrigerator and another volunteer installed-it.
The pastor should start with a favorable impression of the
community. • .
What do you do on a rainy day on vacation? You go see a
bank robbed, that's what. You do, if you are like the Ken
Zdrojewskis and her mother, Mrs. William Thompson.
Vacationing near Caseville, the three stopped so Mfs.
Thompson could cash a check. While in the bank, the robbery
occurred.
Meanwhile, the Zdrojewskis remained outside in a car
wondering what was keeping grandmother so long. Ken casually
noticed a man walking briskly away from the bank. He could
only say later that the fellow did not get into a car.
Moments later Mrs. Thompson came to the car visibly
shaken. When interviewed by the FBI she reported that all
she remembers seeing was the man with the great, big gun.

The kooks were loose again in Cass City this week. They
were operating on South Seeger Street. For no sane reason
they ruined the flower boxes at the library and broke two
seedling trees in half in front of residents' homes. The trees,
planted by the village, were in their second year.

It was "editor's day off" Saturday and I freeloaded on the
Detroit Baseball Company and Detroit Edison with my son
and a neighbor's nine-year-old.
The Tigers lost the game, but the kids' battle to see who
could consume the most free ice cream bars, free cokes
and free bags of peanuts ended in a draw: both consumed
three of everything and were going strong until I
the game on account of gluttony.
On the way to Detroit on M-24 there is an oil like pumpfng
rig that continually operates. The sign says that it is owned Jb'y
a chemical company. ;
What the sign doesn't say is just what the well is producing.
It's not oil. *;
Since the unit is in Lapeer County, I asked Jim Fitzgerald,
august editor of the Lapeer County Press, what the score w|s.
He replied "I should know the answer to that and at one
time I did." I
All of which proves nothing except what you knew all alofiig:
editors don't know nothin' *
