A LOWELL, MICHIGAN HOME o r THE SBDWIQir JULY ta THRL' 2S Eif abllihed June, 1893 LOWELL. MICH.. THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1956 Number 11 It Your Name in the Book? Registrations for August 7th Primary Must Be In By Monday, July 9th This year Is an Important one electlonwlse. We'll elect a new prenldent, and many national of- fice holders will be selected as well as our state governor and Important state oMlclals. You would lie surprised to know that many of the folks who talk the loudest about what's wrong with our country's government nev- er exercise the voting privilege. Secretary of State James M. Hare has provided us with a com- plete census of voting precincts, and of the number of registered voters. Fe states that this Is the first time In Michigan history that such a census has been available. This census was compiled from reports, required by the state leg- islature, and made to the secretary of state by the clerks of all cities and townships. The census was taken as of April 9. 1966. and shows 3.128.449 regis- tered Michigan voters In 5.175 pre- cincts. In this area, the report shows Ada Township, with two precincts voting on paper ballots, has 1069 registered voters. Bowne has 560; Cascade 1.1M: Lowell 1.649; Ver- gennes 415; Graft an 512: Lowell and Cascade also have 2 precincts. The others are confined to one. AU voting in this general area Is done on paper ballots. We thought It would be a nice service to this area II we cooW con- tact the township clerks and ob- tain their registration lists for pub- lication. We picked three town- ships. LoweU. Bowne and Vergen- neS. and the week of June 15 typed the names of all their registered voters of record. . Are You Registered? The name* of the regtotwd voters for LoweU, Bowne and VergraaM townships are Msted on pages « and 7 of this week's edition of the Ledger. Read the IMfe carefully. If yoa are a resi- dent of one of these townships, have been for SO days, have lived In Michigan f monthii, and are 21 years of age, yon should exercise yon vottag privilege. See your township clerk If yow Is not listed. U You Move We checked with the Kent Coun- ty Clerk's office, and talked to Claud Barkley there, concerning the voting law, and he explained the process Involved when a voter moves from one voting precinct to another within thirty day* of the election. In this instance, the voter should return to his old precinct to vote, but should notify the clerk of his move, and sign a card cancelling his old registration. The old clerk then notifies the new clerk of the move. If you have moved from your fonner voting precinct, and have lived in your new place of resl dence over thirty days you must register to vote In the new pre- cinct. Some of the people which we have listed on pages 6 and 7 may have moved to another township. In which Instance they should re- register at their new place of resi- dence. If you did not vote In the last presidential election, and If \ you have not exercised your votinK rights In a n y township election since that time, it would ))e well to theck with your township clerk to make sure you are properly registered. If you believe you are a regis- tered voter, and your name is not shown, contact your township clerk and see what the trouble Is. Because of additions and correc- tions to the list, and the different methods used by clerki for record keeping, the names are not neces- sarily listed In strict alphabetical order. We have tried to Hst every- one. Be sure to register before Ju- ly 9, and vote In the primary elec- tion August f.

WHISTLE T 0 JL TS In this issue we have printed parts of the article on Mississippi Showboats that was brought Into the Ledger office last week by Dr. Orval McKay. Included In the ar- ticle were several Interesting pic- tures, which we have reproduced. How about some more Informa- tion concerning Showboats, either the real McCoy or the Lowell Showboat In days gone by? After all, this Is the twenty-first edition of the Lowell Showboat—there must be a great wealth of facts and anecdotes forgotten by all but a few. The Showboat Chorus is gather- ing steam (and members) In good shape these days. At the second meeting last Thursday, the num- ber of singers had about doubled, and Improvements In the tone and spirit of the group were very no- ticeable. A new song has been distributed to the singers: Chris Burch will sing that ever-popular oldy, "Sam. The Accordlan Man." Music Di- rector Orval Jessup's arrangement seems to assure Chris another hit that he can add to his renditions of "Mobile," 'Lazy River," and the rest of that string of hits he has sung in the past. Don't forget—chorus rehearsals are being held every Tuesday and Thursday night until Showboat. There are still a few places for late comers, especiaUy In the bass secUon. Be sure to sign the list If you'd like to come floatln' down to Showboat town every night from July 23 through 28. Remember the visitors to Show- boat from England last year? Seems like they come from all o- ver, doesn't It? Sure Is good ad- vertising for the Showboat. Are you having guests from distant places during the Showboat week? Let us know If you are—it vvill be Interesting to see from what area Weil-Known Reed Making Industry Headed by Local Man Fifteen years ago, according to an old clipping found In our flies. Lowell was preparing for the tenth annual season of the Showboat, which, as described hy General Chairman Norman E. Borgerson. was to be "a new climax in Show Boat history.' Noim. who is General Chairman again this year, thinks that the 1956 boat will be bigger and bet- ter. And he's right, for the Show- boat has been growing, growing, growing during those past fifteen years. Back in 1941 J3.000 worth of pro- f e s s 1 o n a 1 entertainment came floating down the river on a "per- fect, floating reproduction of the Mississippi steamer Gen. Robert E. Lee," wafted along by the strains of a forty piece band In the bow of the boat-. Among those entertainers were Banjo King Ed- dy Peabody. a oommedy-novelty team entitled ''"The Four Franks," a hand-balancing act from Radio City Music Hall, and the Six A- merlcan Sky Rockets, a girl en- semble from the Drake and Ste- vens hotels In Chicago. Suppllmentlng the professional talent were three amateur acts from Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and Holland, plus the six endmen: John Roth. Edward Quick. George Pap- pin, Forrest Buck. W. W. Gumser and Carroll Burch. Bucky, Walt, and Chris are sllll with us this year, as is Interlocutor C. H. Run- ciman. That's what you call com- munity service! After 1941's fifth and final per- formance, Dan A. Wingeler, who was treasurer of the Showboat cor- poration then as now, reported that the receipts, $8,033.35, broke all records. Attendance was the best ever that year, too; 17,503 specta- tors (about three nights worth, by 1955 standards) sat In the stadium during those five nights. Unlike re- cent years. Friday night was more heavily attended than Saturday night. It's all different now. Like Norm says, it's bigger and better, and it's growing, growing, growing. Lowell can be proud of Us Iambus Showboat and the spirit that has kept her afloat for over twenty years. li Our "Robert E.

According to an article by George W. Junkin,, In the summer edition The old floating theaters (see pic- tures) were actually built on square-end barges, and had no motive power, hence no stacks, paddle wheels, or the like. They were puished by "towboats" lashed to their stem. Not very romantic you say?

After several seasons of success- ful entertainment in barge-type showboats they outfitted a small steamboat as a theater. Only mod- erate success was enjoyed, and it was discontinued In 1847-there Is no record that steamboats were again thus used, which seems to prove Mr. Junkin's belief that steam-powered showboats were not only impractical but apparently non-existent, except for the one herein mentioned. Mr. Junkin also states that a comparison of the famous river- boats Robert E. Lee or Natchez to showboats "Is about as accurate Mr*.

Otto Conrad Is a man well quali- fied to make an exceptional reed for the clarinet. A native of Ger- many, Mr. Conrad began the study of the clarinet when fourteen years old. For four and a half years he practiced eight hours o day on his instrument. He went on ta play first chair clarinet for fifteen years with the Berlin Philharmonic Or- chestra. While with Swiss opera houses and symphonies in Zurich and Basel. Mr. Conrad played un- er the batons of all of the most not etl conductors of the day. George Eastman, famed head of the Eastman Kodak Company, brought Mr. Conrad to this country to teach clarinet in the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. New York. For twenty years Mr. Con- rad played in the clarinet section of the New York Philharmonic Or- chestra. Now, having come to Lo- well to be near his children, he plays with the Grand Rapids Sym- phony. For twenty-five years, Mr. Con- lad was associated with the lead- ing reed makers in Europe. In designing the Conrad reed, tew- ever, which he started to develop in 1933, he broke with tradition and applied principles which his own independent research brought to light. The secret of such a reed lies •n the quality of the cane from which It Is made, and the "cut." The cane used by Mr. Conrad must be harvested at exactly the right moment—when the sap runs down in tlje fall. Only the best parts of the finest stalks are used in making the reeds. Care must be taken that the cane has the correct mineral content, as too much silica makes a reed too brittle, and too little makes It easily water-logged. Mr. Conrad obtains the cane length in the roughest form. They must then be smoothed, cut, shap- ed, trimmed and graded, a pro- cess which he carries out In his home, aided only by Mrs. Conrad. the night of the contest.

It Your Name in the Book?

Registrations for August 7th Primary Must Be In By Monday, July 9th

This year Is an Important one electlonwlse. We'll elect a new prenldent, and many national of-fice holders will be selected as well as our state governor and Important state oMlclals.

You would lie surprised to know that many of the folks who talk the loudest about what's wrong with our country's government nev-er exercise the voting privilege.

Secretary of State James M. Hare has provided us with a com-plete census of voting precincts, and of the number of registered voters. Fe states that this Is the first time In Michigan history that such a census has been available.

This census was compiled from reports, required by the state leg-islature, and made to the secretary of state by the clerks of all cities and townships.

The census was taken as of April 9. 1966. and shows 3.128.449 regis-tered Michigan voters In 5.175 pre-cincts.

In this area, the report shows Ada Township, with two precincts voting on paper ballots, has 1069 registered voters. Bowne has 560; Cascade 1.1M: Lowell 1.649; Ver-gennes 415; Graft an 512: Lowell and Cascade also have 2 precincts. The others are confined to one. AU voting in this general area Is done on paper ballots.

We thought It would be a nice service to this area II we cooW con-tact the township clerks and ob-tain their registration lists for pub-lication. We picked three town-ships. LoweU. Bowne and Vergen-neS. and the week of June 15 typed the names of all their registered voters of record. .

Are You Registered? The name* of the regtotwd

voters for LoweU, Bowne and VergraaM townships are Msted on pages « and 7 of this week's edition of the Ledger. Read the IMfe carefully. If yoa are a resi-dent of one of these townships, have been for SO days, have lived In Michigan f monthii, and are 21 years of age, yon should exercise yon vottag privilege. See your township clerk If yow

Is not listed.

U You Move We checked with the Kent Coun-

ty Clerk's office, and talked to Claud Barkley there, concerning the voting law, and he explained the process Involved when a voter moves from one voting precinct to another within thirty day* of the election.

In this instance, the voter should return to his old precinct to vote, but should notify the clerk of his move, and sign a card cancelling his old registration. The old clerk then notifies the new clerk of the move.

If you have moved from your fonner voting precinct, and have lived in your new place of resl dence over thirty days you must register to vote In the new pre-cinct.

Some of the people which we have listed on pages 6 and 7 may have moved to another township. In which Instance they should re-register at their new place of resi-dence.

If you did not vote In the last presidential election, and If \ you have not exercised your votinK rights In a n y township election since that time, it would ))e well to theck with your township clerk to make sure you are properly registered.

If you believe you are a regis-tered voter, and your name is not shown, contact your township clerk and see what the trouble Is.

Because of additions and correc-tions to the list, and the different methods used by clerki for record keeping, the names are not neces-sarily listed In strict alphabetical order. We have tried to Hst every-one. Be sure to register before Ju-ly 9, and vote In the primary elec-tion August f.

parts of the article on Mississippi Showboats that was brought Into the Ledger office last week by Dr. Orval McKay. Included In the ar-ticle were several Interesting pic-tures, which we have reproduced.

How about some more Informa-tion concerning Showboats, either the real McCoy or the Lowell Showboat In days gone by? After all, this Is the twenty-first edition of the L o w e l l Showboat—there must be a great wealth of facts and anecdotes forgotten by all but a few.

• The Showboat Chorus is gather-

ing steam (and members) In good shape these days. At the second meeting last Thursday, the num-ber of singers had about doubled, and Improvements In the tone and spirit of the group were very no-ticeable.

A new song has been distributed to the singers: Chris Burch will sing that ever-popular oldy, "Sam. The Accordlan Man." Music Di-rector Orval Jessup's arrangement seems to assure Chris another hit that he can add to his renditions of "Mobile," 'Lazy River," and the rest of that string of hits he has sung in the past.

Don't forget—chorus rehearsals are being held every Tuesday and Thursday night until Showboat. There are still a few places for late comers, especiaUy In the bass secUon. Be sure to sign the list If you'd like to come floatln' down to Showboat town every night from July 23 through 28.

Weil-Known Reed Making Industry Headed by Local Man

Fifteen years ago, according to an old clipping found In our flies. Lowell was preparing for the tenth annual season of the Showboat, which, as described hy General Chairman Norman E. Borgerson. was to be "a new climax in Show Boat history. '

Noim. who is General Chairman again this year, thinks that the 1956 boat will be bigger and bet-ter. And he's right, for the Show-boat has been growing, growing, growing during those past fifteen years.

Back in 1941 J3.000 worth of pro-f e s s 1 o n a 1 entertainment came floating down the river on a "per-fect, floating reproduction of the Mississippi steamer Gen. Robert E. Lee," wafted along by the strains of a forty piece band In the bow of the boat-. Among those entertainers were Banjo King Ed-dy Peabody. a oommedy-novelty team entitled ''"The Four Franks," a hand-balancing act from Radio City Music Hall, and the Six A-merlcan Sky Rockets, a girl en-semble from the Drake and Ste-vens hotels In Chicago.

Suppllmentlng the professional talent were three amateur acts from Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and Holland, plus the six endmen: John Roth. Edward Quick. George Pap-pin, Forrest Buck. W. W. Gumser and Carroll Burch. Bucky, Walt, and Chris are sllll with us this year, as is Interlocutor C. H. Run-ciman. That's what you call com-munity service!

After 1941's fifth and final per-formance, Dan A. Wingeler, who was treasurer of the Showboat cor-poration then as now, reported that the receipts, $8,033.35, broke all records. Attendance was the best ever that year, too; 17,503 specta-tors (about three nights worth, by 1955 standards) sat In the stadium during those five nights. Unlike re-cent years. Friday night was more heavily attended than Saturday night.

It 's all different now. Like Norm says, it's bigger and better, and it's growing, growing, growing. Lowell can be proud of Us Iambus Showboat and the spirit that has kept her afloat for over twenty years.

"Showboats Were Not Steamboats" Says Historian: "But Towed Barges"

When the twenty-first Lowell Showboat "Puff, puffs down Plat River again this year we in Lowell will apparently be helping along the road to posterity a poplar mis-conception about "Showboats" In general.

According to an article by George W. Junkin,, In the summer edition

The old floating theaters (see pic-tures) were actually built on square-end barges, and had no motive power, hence no stacks, paddle wheels, or the like. They were puished by "towboats" lashed to their stem. Not very romantic you say? Well, apparently the peo-ple along the Mississippi enjoyed

reeds, but reeds that have been continually praised by prominent clarinet and saxophone players Band leader Artie Shaw says, "I find it Impossible to find any reeds to comparc with Conrad's", Croon-er Rudy Vallee has written Mr. Conrad hat his reeds "make play-ing a pleasure to even the occas-ional player such as myself."

Otto Conrad Is a man well quali-fied to make an exceptional reed for the clarinet. A native of Ger-many, Mr. Conrad began the study of the clarinet when fourteen years old. For four and a half years he practiced eight hours o day on his instrument. He went on ta play first chair clarinet for fifteen years with the Berlin Philharmonic Or-chestra. While with Swiss opera houses and symphonies in Zurich and Basel. Mr. Conrad played un-er the batons of all of the most not etl conductors of the day.

George Eastman, famed head of the Eastman Kodak Company, brought Mr. Conrad to this country to teach clarinet in the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. New York. For twenty years Mr. Con-rad played in the clarinet section of the New York Philharmonic Or-chestra. Now, having come to Lo-well to be near his children, he plays with the Grand Rapids Sym-phony.

For twenty-five years, Mr. Con-lad was associated with the lead-ing reed makers in Europe. In designing the Conrad reed, tew-ever, which he started to develop in 1933, he broke with tradition and applied principles which his own independent research brought to light.

The secret of such a reed lies •n the quality of the cane from which It Is made, and the "cut." The cane used by Mr. Conrad must be harvested at exactly the right moment—when the sap runs down in tlje fall. Only the best parts of the finest stalks are used in making the reeds. Care must be taken that the cane has the correct mineral content, as too much silica makes a reed too brittle, and too little makes It easily water-logged.

Mr. Conrad obtains the cane length in the roughest form. They must then be smoothed, cut, shap-ed, trimmed and graded, a pro-cess which he carries out In his home, aided only by Mrs. Conrad.

j B y Mi*. Claud Do you believe that "old saw"

lightning never strikes in the same place twice?

Well, Mrs. Claude SUcox, "our Alto correspondent, believes you should reverse your opinion. Tak-en literally, lightning does strike twice and even more and she can prove It.

One rainy afternoon in 1809. while Worthy Silcox and his small daughter, Beatrice, were taking a

inap on the couch In the dining room of their farm home, lightning struck. The bolt apparently split striking on the east and west sides of the house simultaneously, ripp-ing. through the room, just miss-ing the sleepers (who by that time were not sleeping).

The south east comer of the house was torn off, the bolt ruin-ed a window casing and door on the west side, and finally ducked down the pipe leading to the weU water supply tank, after knocking

] the telephone out. Things quieted down •"UghtninK-

wise" at the Silcox farm until In [August 1921 when the bam was hit during a severe storm, and burned to the ground In the nighttime. By quick work on the part of their son, Claud iMrth Silcox's husband) and George Houghton (who was working on the farm that year) the 4 horses were led to safety, but the rest of the contents and the bam were destroyed.

When the new bam was complet-ed late that fall, it and the house were equipped with lightning rods, and then ensued another long per-iod when the lightning behaved It-self.

But, Tuesday evening. June 26 this year, a terrific crash pro-claimed that "old man lightning"' had made p o t h e r direct hit. This time It was one of the three cMlji-neys which was blown to bflfc. Fragments of brick were found as far away as from the house as the bam.

Other damage Included bumed out fuses and a dead telephone. No fire resulted from the bolt, and the lightning evidently attached it-self to a rod near the chimney, following it over the roof Into the ground.

The Silcoxes consider that they are lucky folks Inasmuch as the damage was no worse, but they certainly give anyone a skeptical look if heard to remaric "lightning never strikes twice in the same place".

From the back of the church came a voice: "Amen."

The only thing wrong with that dollar that used to buy 3 times as much was that you didn't have It.

/And at the Best Bay Vet! J WHAT'S IN IT for you - if you step out and

buy yourself a 1956 Buick right now?

Well, first of all—the time is right.

Right now, your present car is at its peak worth.

And, with the whole summer and almost half of *56 still ahead of you, you'll get more enjoyment out of a spirited new Buick this year — if you buy now.

Second, there's the matter of how much more automobile your money buys in the best Buick yet.

We tell you flatly that nowhere but in a '56 Buick can you get so much bounty for so little booty.

For example, take the beauteous big '56 Buick SPECIAL pictured here.

It's one big reason why Buick now ranks in the^

B«Ick SPECIAL

•̂Passenger 2-0oor Riviera

top three of America's best-selling caw. Yet, you'll find it priced right close to the well-known smaller cars.

That sure makes Buick a whale of a lot of car for the money. And look:

Nowhere but in a '56 Buick can you get the absolute smoothness and the electrifying per-formance of Buick's terrific new Variable Pitch Dynaflow.*

Nowhere else can you get the obedient respon-siveness of Buick's big and mighty new 322-cubic-inch V8 engine. Or Buick's matchless new handling case and cvcr-lcvcl ride buoyancy — or Buick's bold new sweep-ahead styling, and solidity of structure, and stretch-out roominess.

A d d it all up and the answer comes out the same, any way you figure it: Now's the time to buy your 1956 Buick.

Will you come in — before another sun sets — and get set with your best buy yet?

•New Advanced VariableyPitch Dynafiow is the otdy Dynafiou) Buick builds todou. It is standard on Roodmatier, Super and Century-optional at modest extra cost on the Special.

happy vacations begin in a Chevy • M*: Mf . . . . . . .i/v*.

You'U love to travel in it, because it loves to travel! When you get this Chevrolet out on the road, you'U want to keep going-and so will the whole family.

Of course, even in a Chevrolet the happiest vacaUons may involve one or two minor problems. Like fidgety small fry who want gal-lons of water and keep asking if you're almost there. The big things, though, are beautifully taken care of by this roomy Chev-rolet's smooth and easy way of going. Hiat's for sure.

The fact is, few cars at any price hold the road with Chevy's grace, with its solid feeling of stability. And with horsepower up to 225, Chevrolet moves out like a whiplash, for safer passing. It's no wonder that so many peo-ple who used to buy higher priced cars are changing to Chevrolet! Stop by soon for a ride.
