So You're Going to,Buy
A Home? -Cash Is Useful
by Dr. Lawrence S. Ritter
Assistant Prof, of Economics
Michigan State College
Beginning here is a series of articles under the general heading,
"_ou And Your Money", written
by staff members of Michigan
State College.
In the series- starting today win'
some articles on many various
subjects including money association with taxes, budget, marriage
installment "buying, insurance, inflation, home ownership and retirement.
' ■ * *
. That is a pretty big order , . to
discuss as many topics as that.
But somebody is certain to ba ta-
teres'fed in everyone of those subjects, for discussion, and the writers from East Lansing are granted
leaning reputations in the fields
covered by thefr* articles.

Very: "sage" observation-that one
good way to avoid finance troubles
In.marriage is to pair-up with a
ing less than $4,000 a year should
not attempt to buy more than a
?1Q,000 home, assuming that he
makes a ten per cent down payment and thus has a $9,000 mortgage to carry.
You should • be certain, you can
stand this fixed drain on your income before you assume it.
The purchase price is something
which most people consider most
carefully and on which they have
the moBt accurate information. But
even here they would do well to
consider the vatue of the home
several years from the date of purchase. For it is not impossible that
they would want to sell because of
the necessity of moving or because of changing family size and
needs. •
And here, elements of risk enter,
such as the possibility of a drop in
real estate values due to a depression, or an excess of house build*
ing/over which the individual,has
no -control. . ' • -.-• *
Ifo is quite possible that" owning
your-ow.n home may be a wise.fi-

.Owning a home, while it is often
desirable, is not always a wise .financial move. The most important
elements involved in buying a
house are the purchase price, the
cost of maintenance, and the. lo-
catib*\ of the property.
"•The' last factor- is often neglected,.-but \it is of- major importance.
■For as towns and. cities grow, various once-pleasant neighborhoods:
deteriorate and properties located
there;, decrease in value. On the
other hahd, formerly inexpensive
are&s increase in. value while, of
course, some areas remain relatively, stable. It is not an easy task to
guess the areas which are most
likely to increase rather than decrease in value, •
The cost of maintenace is also a

Teixeira Quits
To Coach At
Romulus High
Clare high school coach Arthur
Teixeira resigned his position this
week as head bosketball and track
coach, and announced that he
would accept a position as head
football coach in the high school
at Romulus,' Michigan.
Teixeira just finished his first
year of coaching in the Clare
school after coming here from
Gaylord to take over part of the
coaching duties of Bill Seitz. Teixeira and George Perry split the
assignments in the athletic Coaching position with Perry taking
football and baseball. .
In his stay of one year at Clare
High, Teixeira succeeded in reviving some interest ih basketball,
which had suffered some decline
in prestige as a major sport- and
helped make an entirely mew start-
in the field of high, school track.
No track: squad had been organized for.several seasons in the local high school.
Mrs. Teixeira will accompany
her *husban_ to Romulus where
she also has a position on the
teaching staff of the school.
Superintendent Thomas C.
Campbell said. that • he expected
little difficulty in replacing his
b a s k e t b a 11 and track coach..
"There's always activity and shifting of personnel in the athletic
•coaching field", he said. "We'll
have some applicants for the position within a few days'',
Mrs, "Jeixeira's job was more
_ _ „ - likely tq."* take time to fill. The
Clare. Police Chief Bert Head wife of "j_e COach had taught phys-
an.d local officers breathed a higjjca_ education for girls and lower

Teixeirals teams were short of
success "hy quite sizeable margins.
The basfcettoall squad lived through
ten consecutive beatings before
the Pioneer cagers found their
stride anil bounced back with'four
victories^ in a string. The March
tournament performance of the
Teixeiraicoached quintet followed
■the patten of the season meetings
with Shfoherd as the Clare hoys
were uifable to improve against
•the Jayf and were eliminated in
their first encounter.
In track, however, Teixeira developed [talent enough to set many
new school records and in time's
changing emphasis to track and
field spprtsj may have begun a
permanent track squad. Cornpet-
ative meet scores were only fair.
one's memory, Chief Head said,
"We didn't even have a "Bumped
fender, or an accident of any kind
on our streets, or near Clare."
Police said they had no traffic
count or any reliable way of estimating the number of cars which
went through Clare during the
period from May 28' to the end of
May 31, but guessed the number
recently estimated
The entire Clare force worked
their regular shift's with no extra
help or' 'outside' assistance, Head
said, adding, "We Stuck on the job
for a few hours of overtime is all."
The record showed that- Clare
police handed out just eleven tickets for traffic violations.
^On Thursday evening, the police
department was holding Charles
Ogle of Clare and John Zygmunt,
of Mt. Pleasant for Justice court
examination on a charge of passing bad checks. The two men were
said to have cashed a check in the
Arden Walters grocery.

"I REMEMBER"!
BY TH2 OLD TIMERS
From Mrs. G, H. J8eH, CoWmhus,
Georgia: I remember at the turn
of the century we lived on a farm
in Narvarro County, near Barry,
Texas.
We had so many chickens we
could not use all the eggs at home.
One day my husband took six
dozen to Barry, but he could not
■ell them—as the stores were full.
He sold them to a cafe, the whole
six dozen, for 25 cents to save
taking them back home.

From Mrs. _UHe Sharps, Blr-
mlngham, Alabama: I remember
at my grandmother's home seeing
the wash bench by the well with
wooden tubs made with iron or
1 brass .rims to hold the wood pieces
and a big black boiling pot with
a fire under it.! I Wondered why the
clothes wore put on s tree stump

This is done at night—not only
because ifs safer—but the wasps
are more likely to be home.
Then you can plug the openings
of hornet and yellow jacket nests
with a wad of cotton soaked with
carbon tetrachloride. Then nudge
the nest into a sack and bury it Or
burn it. Or you can put the nest
and wasps into 'an airtight can
along" with a few tablespoons of
carbon tetrachloride. The chemical
will kill them in 24 hours or less.
Use carbon tetrachloride with
caution, however. It's poisonous
and its fumes can kill humans, too.

Clare To Get Rare View
Of Sim's Total Eclipse
Michigan will fall under the
shadow of an eclipse of the sun
which will put the upper peninsula
in close to total shade, and make
the exciting view or partial eclipse
in the lower peninsula on June 30,
according to the calculations of
William .Schults, Jr., astronomer
at Craribrook Institute.
This eclipse, Which will appear
as almost total for local viewers
will toe "the last to occur over the
state until after the year 2,000, Mr.
Schultz says.
Shortly after sunrise June 30,
the m66n will blot out the light of
the sun aiong a path whicli will
include Ontonagon and Keweenaw
counties and all but the southern
parts of Houghton mid~_araga
counties, "fee central line will pass
through the cities of Ontonagon,
Calumet and Eagle River.
This eclipse of the sun at any
one location, will be total for about
a minute, and a half, although the
partial stages will extend over a
period of- almost two hours.
Racing "at a speed of over 3,000
miles per hour the shadow will
sweep across Canada and Labrador, just miss Ireland, dash across
tho Faeroe islands, Norway, Sweden,1 the .tX.S.S.E. and leave the
earth at sunset ia Pakistan.
An eclipse of the sun occurs when
the moon passes between the sun
and the earth, causing the moon's
shadow to fall on the earth. The
turning of" the earth on its axis
causes the shadow to move around
the earth at a rapid pace.
To observers the sun's disc
seems to be slowly "eaten-away"
by the curved surface of the moon
until only the blazing corona of the
sun's atmosphere is' left in view-
The corona is a rare sight that astronomers travel many miles to
witness.
Mr. Schultz, who is head of the
science department at Cranbrook
School and an associate in astronomical education at Cranbrook;
Institute of science, warns eclipse
viewers that their eyes may be
permanently .injured by looking
directly at the sun without the aid
of a suitable filter.
The traditional filter is..made by
holding a piece of glass over a
candle flame- until the glass is well
covered with. soot. A safer) and
much more satisfactory, filter can
be made by over-exposing a. piece
of photographic film to sunlight,-
then developing the film. Certain
blindnesses would result if one
tries to look at the sun through a
telescope or field clftsse"-;. v

Clare To Get Rare View Of Sim's Total Eclipse Michigan will fall under the shadow of an eclipse of the sun which will put the upper peninsula in close to total shade, and make the exciting view or partial eclipse in the lower peninsula on June 30, according to the calculations of William .Schults, Jr., astronomer at Craribrook Institute. This eclipse, Which will appear as almost total for local viewers will toe "the last to occur over the state until after the year 2,000, Mr. Schultz says. Shortly after sunrise June 30, the m66n will blot out the light of the sun aiong a path whicli will include Ontonagon and Keweenaw counties and all but the southern parts of Houghton mid~_araga counties, "fee central line will pass through the cities of Ontonagon, Calumet and Eagle River. This eclipse of the sun at any one location, will be total for about a minute, and a half, although the partial stages will extend over a period of- almost two hours. Racing "at a speed of over 3,000 miles per hour the shadow will sweep across Canada and Labrador, just miss Ireland, dash across tho Faeroe islands, Norway, Sweden,1 the .tX.S.S.E. and leave the earth at sunset ia Pakistan. An eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, causing the moon's shadow to fall on the earth. The turning of" the earth on its axis causes the shadow to move around the earth at a rapid pace. To observers the sun's disc seems to be slowly "eaten-away" by the curved surface of the moon until only the blazing corona of the sun's atmosphere is' left in view- The corona is a rare sight that astronomers travel many miles to witness. Mr. Schultz, who is head of the science department at Cranbrook School and an associate in astronomical education at Cranbrook; Institute of science, warns eclipse viewers that their eyes may be permanently .injured by looking directly at the sun without the aid of a suitable filter. The traditional filter is..made by holding a piece of glass over a candle flame- until the glass is well covered with. soot. A safer) and much more satisfactory, filter can be made by over-exposing a. piece of photographic film to sunlight,- then developing the film. Certain blindnesses would result if one tries to look at the sun through a telescope or field clftsse"-;. v The Big Ones,.
