Two Live Cheap as One?
Netvlyweds Test Theory

by Dr. Stanley J. Chipper
Lecturer in Economics
Michigan State College
The*desire to marry, except in
the eyes of some bachelors, is a
noble thing. To economize, or to
make tlie best -of what we have, Is
also a noble thing. Unfortunately,
these two human activities do not
always enjoy the bliss of peaceful
co-existence, 5
It would be too much to expect
•people, to behave rationally at the
time which probably represents
the most memorable d'ay in their
lives, The wedding, after 'all, is no
occasion for pinching pennies. Suppose, however, that you want to be
one of the more sensible members
of our society;,. How much should
youri wedding coBt you? There, are
figures, indicating the average cost
of an. average wedding. However,
one trouble with these figures is
tbat they ,do not refer to any real
thing. No wedding is an "average"
wedding, least of all the one you
plan!
Statistics do not show us what
proportion of their incomes people
spend on a wedding on the average. However, it may be a good
idea to keep the expenses within
your income, meaning, that you
should not go into debt just because you want to show to the rest
of the world what a terrific couple
you are. "Most likely, even, a modest wedding will involve going into
some of your savings, and It would
not be quite prudent to use up all
of them, since most of the down-
to-earth expenses "will start after
the wedding.
Once the wedding is. over and
more mundane matters are faced,
a question may arise as to whether
the wife should work or not. ,Now
more than 30 per cent of all married women earn money in addition to their hjisbands. This means
that quite a sizeable amount of
young people -feel the need for
such additional Income. It seems
sensible, if she worked before her
marriage and if hei* "work is not
entirely unbearable, that a wife
Bhould keep on earning and help
pay the considerable expenses
connected with setting up a new
home.
Money difficulties rate very nigh
as a cause ot marriage troubles.
Therefore, it might be a good idea
to have a clear understanding before marriage. Agree to some
rough procedure of h-OF to m^****..
age the future bome.      ,   "* " *-""
The strict income and expenditure approacb in marrage economics is being given as a guide for
successful management. The rule
is,simple: "Don't spend-more than
you earn.". This "golden rule," as
other such'rules, is bound to fail
in a majority of cases for the
simple reason that we live in a
highly developed credit economy
which is! very ably assisted by the
advertising conjurors who have a
rich field in the needs and prejudices of young married couples.
Therefore; unless you are a
millionaire or a very' cool-headed
person, do not be surprised If your
family budget will acquire a
healthy looking bulge of deficit.
■The problem then is, how to keep
this deficit from growing, and how
to wipe it out eventually? Never
think that you can "afford" a cer*
tain amount of deficit. You are not
the U. S. Treasury.
The continued excess of your expenditures over your net income
will eventually catch 'up with you.
In order to prevent this, it might
be advisable to estimate the approximate expenses connected with
such necessities as food, clothing
and rent (or a mortgage payment).
This can be done on a'trial basis
lasting several weeks. After you
have ascertained the usual expenses, the balance of your income
should then be sufficient to pay the
interest on your, debts and leave
something for your savings. A
very important and often overlooked item in family finances is
what might be termed "miscellaneous expenses." Watch these and
never forget that they sometimes
exceed some of your "necessary"
expenses by quite a bit.
Another event, which usually arrives ahead of any planned schedule, is a child. When this happens,
your finances will be further affected and therefore, if it is at all
possible, provide for such an event
before it occurs. However, this already belongs to the spbere of
family finance management.
There- are many books on this
subject that you may read to your
hearts delight. And if these books
are well written, they may even
pay for themselves. At least they
might make you forget, about the
existence of your creditors while
you read them, Good luck to you.

Airwaves To
Carry "Splash
Two representatives, one each
from Clare , Kiwanis ahd Rotary
clubs have been scheduled for appearance on television station
WWTV one week from today, June
18, to help promote the swimming
pool project known as- "Operation
Splash." This was the word this
week from the publicity committee
of the organization.
Definite word as to who is to
represent the clubs on TV screens
in this area was not ready this
week, but publicity committee
members were hoping that the
presidents of the two groups could
be persuaded to appear,
Dan McDonald, president of Ro-.
tary was out of town at a Rotary
convention and plans waited on his
return.
Meanwhile, the building committee reported'that an announcement
would be made shortly concerning
the choice of concrete, or steel for
the actual pooMank construction.
The amount of money said to be
pledged was Hearing S.20 Thousand
dollars.
The site committee, with a slice
of the school board's eleven-acre
land purchased practically assured
for* their use, was also waiting for
the right moment to make it's announcement.
Both service clubs approved a-
set of by-laws this week, so that
the'.legal committee could rush the
new* corporotion papers to the Department of internal Revenue so
that all contributors could be assured deductions foi* income tax
purposes, '
Ted Hoersch came back "With
-the laurels of the show. He scored
a, 196 out of a possible 200 points.
The trip was very beneficial for
the boys in that they saw some of
■"the top shorthorns in Canada. The
class of bulls that they placed had
three entries imported from Scotland. *
Team honors in the judging contest went to representatives of
Gratiot county,who performed an
outstanding job in the competition.

Densmore said the Gratiot team
won the title fair andsauare, but

Bees In
Better Call
Expert Help
How do I get tid of those 'honeybees in the walls. Of my house"?    •
Entomologists "at- Michigan State
College are answering that question every day. They suggest getting an exterminator or a professional bee man to do the job.
One of the reasons it's hard, to
get at the bees "With a poison, to
eliminate them: The wax comb or
nest is usually too far from the
hole where the bees entered the
wall. E. C (Bert) Martin, M.S.C.
entomologist, explains that poisons
have to be sprayed or dusted directly onto the nest to get results:
If you want to do the job yourself, Martin suggests this: You can
locate the nest in the wall by tapping the outside or inside wall
with a hammer, Then you listen
for an answering buzz from the
bees.
Once you've located the bees you
can bore a hole and spray the poison directly on the. nest.
As for, poisons recommended,
some are dangerous to use. Cyano*
gas is used only by experienced
beekeepers or exterminators, and
the house has to be vacated when
this chemical is used. ;
The local county agricultural
agent can tell you what chemicals
you can use ind how to Use them.
A beekeeper's veil, a smoker and
a pair of leather gloves will help
prevent stings. .
Martin says that it's also import-
tant to remove the nest if possi-
ble,vbecause it is liable to attract
other bees and you'll have the
same problem over again.

Dairyman
Has Problems
T_e average cow will not rate
very high in 1954—it will take four
of them to turn out as much profit
as one 12,000-pound producer, reports Bon H. Stark, Michigan State
College farm economist. Last year,
it only took 2% average cows to
equal one 12,000-pounder.' *
Farmers need some 10,000 to 12,-
000 pound producers to get more
than a dollar an hour for their labor—and even they will get 50
cents less than last-year*.
This is the time of year when
hamburger, hot dogs and sausage
are in demand and this is the place
where "boarder" cows produce

Curiosity killed the Cat, but it
only gave a woodchuck a haircut,
And maybe took a little skin,
too.
This particular woodchuck lives
in a forest area in the western upper peninsula.
One day last week he found some
'expensive* fishing rods leaning
against an automobile. Guided by &
dielary craving known only, to
woodchucks, he ate all the cork off
the handles,
Exploring further, he found-the
underside of the vehicle a< masse of
wonderful hiding places. He climbed and scampered in these.
Suddenly, while lie was leaning
against a fan-lifee arrangement -and
viewing the dim interior, a whir"
started and woodchuck-s rump was
neatly scraped of hair..
The. car owners,, a man and *wif ©

chewed-up fishing rods and started

Woodchuck jumped but from under the hood &n& headed for deep

Competition
Two local men have been selected as members \>f the judging com
mittee to determine winners in the
1954 Junior Dairyman, competition
which is sponsored eacb year by
the Kraft Foods Company.
The judges, announced today by
VirgiL Bergstrom, manager of the
Clare Kraft plant, are Dale Hines,
vocational agriculture teacher of
Farwell, and Floyd Norcutt, Vocational agriculture teacher of Clare,
Each year the Kraft plants located in dairy sections of the nation
sponsor a program encouraging
young people to get a successful
start in dairy farming. The Junior
Dairymen own their own cows, provide their own feed, deliver milk
■to the Kraft plant in their own cars
and keep management records.
At the end of the year, those
wl^o have shown the greatest profit and progress are judged by the
committee, to .be the, ■wimTierEi.-'in'l
teeSive 'cash prifces, "College scholarships, all-expense trips to Chicago and various, other honors.
Working with the Junior Dairymen'are Manager Bergstrom and
the two Kraft fieldmen, Perry
Cowell and James McGuire.
This year, the sixth season in
Michigan, 8 Clare area farm youths
are enrolled in the Junior Dairy-
inan, program-, They learn all
■j.basks.of daii*j7 .farming, including
i&u<i_Lthings, ajs r,e&rd-keepirig, bas-
ture management," balancing nerd
rations, and values of sound breeding programs for' raising .herd replacements. ■
"Successful dairymen are the result of early* training," says Manager Bergstrom. "That's why Kraft
spends so much time with Junior
Dairymen, with 4-H and FFA boys
and girls."     <•
To date the national program
has helped more than 2,700 boys
and girls in 16 states and Canada.
The majority carry on projects as
part ot 4-H and FF^A activities.
Last year Michigan project members sold nearly 111,700 pounds of
milk, worth'more than ".4,500 from
their combined herd' of 22 -cows.

After Crash
Driver Couldn't
£?tay on Curve
On West Fifflv
In an almost unbelievable auto
mishap early Thursday mornlng»
two young men escaped critical
hurts, or maybe death' when their
car careened at high speed around
the bend where Fifth •sfcreet.etrtet'** t
the residential section of Clare's
west end, knocked over power
poles and sideswiped a tree before;
stopping. . ■'■;     ;
The two occup-ints of the ear
were^ ticketed by officer Mickey
McDonald at 1:50 a.m. for intoxication. They were: Harry.Burt»
Jr. 21, of Saginaw, and his companion Bruce Andre, 24, of Brown City.
They were driving Andre's Chevrolet, a new car with only "'break>
ing-in" mileage on the speedometer.
The accident was remarkable be^
cause of the noisy violence of ihe
car, ~ crashing and rattling front
one curb to the other, cracking off
huge power poles as it went along.'
Then, out of control, smacking into a huge tree trunk more than
150 yards from the point of first
broken, pole.
The parrnjg explosion;, was /so
violent t|iat witnesses claim. :t$
nave heard it out at Lone Pine gas
station. And.G, C. Born, bejsida
whose chiropractic office the car
stopped, says that the Impact
caused a light "fixture to drop off
his office ceiling and damage his,
plate-glass' desk-top.
The slow curve which has meant
sudden death or injury io several"
persons when their cars went out
of control, claimed yesterday's victims' when their car failed to follow the curve, but jumped-the curb
in front of Mayer's house. Here the
car broke off large posts set to
protect the power pole at that
place.
"with no evidence that the brakes
had been applied, the car screamed
on across the intersection of Fittb.
and Maple and onward d6wn the -
block until it hit and sheared off
another power pole acrbss ihet
street fropi the Porter 'TesidenCe,
"''-CoWitfuteg-acfoss iaVnuthe "cftr
hit a huge elni tree a glancing
blow, and stopped, right side up,
barely a step from the side .of the
Born Chiropractic building.
Witnesses said that the notee of
the car hitting the tree dounded>
"like a freight train bumping something." It awoke residents in the
neighborhood.
Policeman McDonald said that
Andre,4 tiwner of the car who ^was
riding'in the Tight side of the
frdjnt Seat; appeared to have Serious bruises or broken pdnes ind
pofesible internal injuries, and that
Butt had ii e a' d and face lac*fra-
tions and looked as if he bad lost
some of his front teeth.
The Stephenson ambulance carried Burt to the Clare General
Hospital after he was officially
charged with driving a «ar while'
under the influence of intoxicating
liquor. Andre, in the hospital; Was
described Thursday afternoon as
