Richard Johnson, 46, o£ 210 East
Fourth St., was painfully burned on
the back of his hands, at 4:55 p.m.
Wednesday, when getting a gasoline
stove ready to take on a Ashing trip.
There was a leak in the stove which
he was working on in the basement of
his home and escaping gasoline exploded and set fire to the stove. - He
was burned in attempting to carry
the stove out of the basement, but the
flames burned out before he got the
stove out of doors.
The burns were treated by Dr. H. J.
Ballard, D.O., and Johnson is recovering/at his home, but it is expected the

Grass Burning .
Not An Asset In
Pest Control
By Laurence Dayton
Regional Game Supervisor
No one would consider burning the
interest from their bonds or other
investments. Nature's interest to the
land in the form of organic material
is destroyed whenever uncontrolled
burning of grass, fencerows, brush
piles or other cover takes place
Uncontrolled burning is also one of
the worst enemies of wildlife because
IL • destroys the food and cover of
waterfowl, muskrats, and other wildlife, as well as the nesting sites for
many desirable species of the ground
nesting birdB.        ■
Wildlife is a bonus or luxury crop
of the land, a crop which can and
should be harvested, and a crop which
may furnish much recreation and outdoor use of the land.
Fire is detrimental to the soil because it destroys valuable organic
matter which, when incorporated in
the soil, increases the moisture holding capacity. Erosion is greater on
land which has been burned over.
Contrary to the general belief, fire
is of little value in weed control. Many
times it encourages weeds by making
conditions favorable for their growth.
It has also been found that fire is
of very little value in insect control.
Studies have shown that' birds excluded' from an area by fire, if left
there would destroy more insects
than the fire.
Fires are costly in fencerows because wire is ruined, posts are burned
and valuable cover and, food for wildlife is destroyed. Fires destroy nests,
eggs, or young of the nesting birds
and animals.
Fire if properly used, with necessary precautions, can be of great
value, however, the indescriminate
burning of swales, fencerows, and
other cover is a great waste of basic
materials and is to be deplored.

To Petition Public
Service Commission
Monday, May 14th
The Michigan Bell Telephone Company announced this week that it
would ask a rate increase for phone
service to provide 17 percent addition-
al'revenue. The boost will be included
in an application to^ be filed with the
Public Service Commission on May
14.
Under the application, monthly increases for .the various types of service at Clare would,,be as follows:    *
Residence service: Individual line,
$1; 2-party, 75c; 4-party, 75 cents,
rural, 75 cents; extension telephones
15 cents.
Business service: Individual-line,
$1.50; 2-party, $1.25; rural, 75 cents;
extension telephones, 25 cents.
At.Farwell and Rosebush, monthly
increases for the various types of
service would be as follows:
Residence service: Individual-line,
?1; 4-party and rural service, 75 cents,
"extension telephones, 15 cents.
• Business service: Individual line,
i ?1; 2-party, $1; rural, 50 cents; extension telephones, 25 cents.
Long distance rates would remain
unchanged. T. C. Maher, area manager for the company said that Michi-
in a "continuous
financial squeeze sirrce World War II
between inflation and the time lag in
, obtaining rate relief", citing the year
and a half delay in getting the rate
increase of last June.
"To provide for military, war-production, and civilian needs, Michigan
Bell will require millions of dollars of
new capitol. The company already has
spent more than a quarter of a billion
dollars on construction since VJ-Day.
"That does not mean that our customers are being asked to finance th&
company's expansion program. Th&
money for expansion must come from,
investors."
"A fair return to the owners of the
business is an essential cost of operating the business. It also follows that
determined ihe cause of death to be,the company,s earnings must be {air

Frankfort, Wednesday evening.
Judge Metes Gut
Stiff Sentences
To Juveniles
Judge Donald E. Holbrook found it
necessary to "bear down" when sentencing two juvenile delinquents in
Isabella County Circuit Court last
week. A wave of delinquency in this
area has become serious, with numerous apprehensions of minors by police
officers, and- severe punishment in
some cases BeemB to be the only solution.
William Conrad and Gerald Hotel-
ing, 17 year old Mt. Pleasant youths,
were sentenced to spend from one
year and three months to 14 years in
Southern Michigan State Prison for a
series of car thefts' and break-ins.
They had committed 14 serious offenses in 32 hours, including five car
thefts.
Judge Holbrook, when sentencing
the youths, recommended that they
be placed in an "honor camp" and
expressed hope that they would
"straighten out" and become good citizens after their release. He expressed
regret that there was no place in Michigan that was suitable to send the
boys without resorting to the prison
sentence. But the fact remains that
there are serious penalties for such
delinquency and that wayward youths
must expect a penalty to be exacted
of them if they "ask for it."

"As a natural monopoly, we do not
expect, nor do we need, as high a return as competitive business but
Michigan Bell's postwar earnings
have been too far out of line to permit it to do the telephone job that
the people of this state want and
should have done."
Immediate reaction to the announcement by the company, was forthcoming Wednesday, when Public Service Commission members and a few
other public office holders declared
their opposition to the rate jump.
Opinion seemed in solid agreement
that the proposed new charges would
meet a long, tough resistance from
municipalities =and the P.S.C. itself.
Anticipating a public reaction to the
new rates, Maher pointed to the
