Election Monday, Township Slate. 8 State Offices

A full slate of Democrat and Republican candidates are being presented to the Grattan v o t e n In the Township election being held Monday. Other townehlps In this area have no contest In their local election except for Bowne where Republican Fred Pattlson, Supervisor for the past 16 years, and defeated by Republican Enoch Carlson In the primary, will be running for ref lect ion on a write-in vote.

4 Proposals

On the State level. Monday s election will Include four pro-posals to amend the State Con-stitution.

Three of the four. Nos. 1, 2, and 4 to be explicit, concern election laws and are somewhat technical. Proposal 1 amends Section 23 of Article VII. and provides that nonpartisan primary elections and elecUntis for Judicial offices shall be prescribed by law. Pro-posal 2 limits the age of Justices of the supreme court and circuit Judges to 70 years, and requires each to be a licensed lawyer. No. 4 provides that a state board of canvassers of fom members be established, and In another section provides that the secre-tary of state, state treasurer and such other state officers as shall be designated by law shall con-ft l tute a board of state auditors. Formerly, the last three persons named were also named the board of state canvassers.

These pW)posals will require some study and clarification if the ordinary voter Is to cast his ballot in their favor. Many voters reject a proposal they d o , not thoroughly understand, and these changes are quite technical In nature.

School Proposal Proposal No. 3 concerns school

districts and would p e m l t $100 million In bonds by the State to establish a fund from which school districts could borrow. The question to be decided by the voters is whether the state ought to go Into the lending business to buW schools, or let private capi-tal do It.

Receive Chorrer for New Civics Club

The ^Civics • club of St. Mary's school this week received Its of-ficial charter from the Commis-sion on American Citizenship in Washington, D. C. The Charter formally recognizes the local unit of the Civics club which was recently organized. Pupils of Grade eight comprise Its mem-bership.

Officers are: Carmine Blough, president; Joan Laux, vice presi-dent; Ruth Ann Ford, recording secretary; Barbara Lee, treasur-er; Frank Myers, sergeant-at-arms.

St. Mary's Civics club Is one of more than 2,200 Catholic Civics

d u b s chartered In the United States in the past year. Spon-sored by the Commission of American Citizenship of the Catholic University of America In Washington, D. C . these clubs foster training for good citizen ship.

The greatest problem In select-ing the ulte for the bridge was caused hy the Thornapple river which joined the Grand river Just where the engineers wanted to cross with the bridge. This prob-lem was solved by moving the Juncture of the Grand and Thorn-apple about 700 feet east of the present location. This will place the location of the bridge about 400 feet southeast of the present bridge.

Dally Traf f ic 3,400

Average dally traff ic on the present Ada Bridge. Harold R. Puffer. Bridge Engineer for the State Highway Department re-vealed. Is 3.400 cars. This M-21 traff ic does not warrant a 4-lane highway now but the Highway Department must plan for the future and a bridge and ap-proaches that will cost nearly a million dollars must be adequate for the future.

Mr. Puffer also stated that the old Ada bridge which will be used during construction will be re-moved af ter the new bridge Is finished and the steel from this bridge will be brought to Lowell and used in a new bridge planned on M-91 over the Grand river.

Bridge by 1956

State Highway engineers ex-pect to have the bridge plans completed In about three months and If construction starts this fall the bridge and Its approaches should be completed by the fall of 1956. Bids for the construction of the approaches will be let early next year.

Another Interesting fact in this bridge location is seen In the necessity of leaving the present right-of-way east of Gllmore Gun Shop and cutting Into the hills on a long sweeping curve that will swing straight Into the bridge across the river and Join the present right-of-way near the Ada road junction. This bridge approach Is estimated at H4 miles and will be a divided four-lane highway.

The construction of the new bridge will break the worst bottle neck on M-21 between Flint and Grand Rapids and make the drive Into Grand Rapids safer and quicker for people of this area.

M O R E L U X U R Y O U T S I D E

You'll he unfWstanHahly proud ol the long, low, flowing lines of your new Plymouth. Its 17 feet of shining steel make it the biggest car of the low-price 3 (8.4 inches longer than one car, 5.3

i nches ahead of the other). And its glamorous new Full-View windshield, with swept-hack corner posts, gives you wider, safer visibility than either of the "other 2'' low-price cars.

MORE C O M F O R T INSIDE

Plymouth's greater over-all dimensions also mean more interior roominess. You get the widesi front seat (by up to 2 inches), the greatest front and rear leg room (by up to 3.7 inches). Plymouth's door openings are higher and wider, too, permitting the easiest possible entry and exit. What's more, Plymouth's new trunk is mammoth —with far greater capacity than the "other 2."

SMOOTHER B I G - C A R RIDE

Only a truly big car like Plymouth can give you the luxury of a big-car ride. Plymouth's longer and stronger frame,

/wider rear springs and Onflow shock absorbers provide the smoothest ride in the lowest-price field. And Plymouth's great new (Cylinder PowerFlow 117

gives you the smoothest , thr i f t ies t performance. Another top engine : Plymouth's new 167-hp Hy-Fire V-8.

Engagement Announctd

Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Osmer, Burton, SE, announce the en-gagement and approaching mar-riage of their daughter Phyllis, to Gordon Coller. son of Dr. and Mrs. R. D. Coller, Mt. Vernon, NW. The marriage will take place May 6 at the Cascade Chris-tian Church.
