Ben Franklin Said This
- - Experience Proves It -
By Dr. Lawrence 5. Ritter
Assistant Professor of Economics
lytichigan State College
"A penny saved is a penny earned!"
This famous quotation is usually
attributed to Benjamin Franklin's
"Poor • Richard's Almanac" and
honored accordingly. This is as K
should be, for old' Ben certainly
-was a wise one and could coin a
phrase with much truth in it.
Some of his lesser known ones
undoubtedly should be repeated
just as frequently. Such as, "A
little house well filled, a little
farm well tilled, and a little wife
well willed, are great riches". Or
"Fish and visiting relatives smell
in three days." Or "There are
more old drunkards than old doctors". Not to mention, "Love your
neighbor: yet don't pull down yout
hedge".
But to return to the original
subject; A penny saved is a penny
earned. There is no doubt of this!
At six per cent compound interest,
$100 put in a savings account today will grow to $200 in 12 years
and to $400 in 24 years. Money
burning six per cent' compound interest will double every 12 years..
In 120 years that original $100
will have grown to over $102,000;
This even beats chain letters as a
way of getting rich, and' it has it
all over working for a living.
There are a couple of hitches to
this, of course, as far as- you and
I are personally concerned. For
instance, who has $100 to put in
-the bank? And second, who can
afford to wait around for 120
years? Nothing is perfect in this
world, it seems.
And then prices of goods Change'
too, and it seems as though they
always <go up and rarely come
down.
This poses a problem for the
.saver. Some people bought war
bends in 1940 for $18.75. In 1950
they got $25 back, tout this $25
could buy only as many groceries
as about $14 could back in 1940.
Thay had waited ten years ahd
then couldn't buy as much with
the $25 they got back as they
could with the" original $18.75 they
had saved.
If they had "bought common
stocks or real estate or something
else" that goes up in price along
With the prices of the things they
buy, they -would have been better
off in 1950. But then they would
have run the great risk that the
things they put their savings into
might haye gone down in value,

and thereby wiped out their savings!
So remember, if you have money
to save, if you can leave it alone
and wait for' the earning to occur
over the years, and' if you can
find just the right place into
Which to put your savings, then
pld Ben was right •_ a_ienny saved
is a penny earned.
1 REMEMBER'
SV THE OLD TIMERS
L._r_._._.^._______ _._._._._.._._....
«:
From Myra Day, Hudson, Wisconsin: I remember my mother
telling me this story of James G.
Blaine, when he was electioneering
for president. In one state he was
invited to attend a banquet at the
gubernatorial mansion and this is
the story he jokingly told about it:
"They first brought In soup. That
was queer for a company dinner,
but being Monday they had been
busy with the washing and were
tired. Being hungry, I called for
a second helping. Pretty soon some
girls came in, took away the dishes
-and brought a splendid dinner.
There I sat chock-full of soup.
"In about an hour, they took
away the dishes again and brought
a nice looking pudding. When I
took the first bite, I found it not
only cold, but frosen. Thinking the
Governor would not give his. guests
anything frozen, I edged around to
where he was talking to a distinguished-looking woman and whispered, 'Bill thisf stuff is frozen.'    .
"He looked at me for a minute
and then said.' 'I'll speak- to the
(Mrs. about it,' and Walked away.
After a time he came over and
said 'Jim, Jhat.is_one of .these newfangled affairs and they freeze it
on purpose."

Seats Going
For July 3
Mat Show
Final plans'for the AU-Star professional wrestling' show at Snow-
snake Mountain, many* weeks in
the making by promoter Ken Langin, have been Completed, and all
indications point to an outstanding
show, with a near record crowd in
attendance. *•
Tickets went on sale last.Saturday at Houghton Drugs and while
good vingside tickets, were stiil
available, they are expected to be
gone long before July 3. Langin has
been busy this week trying to locate chairs to supplement the 400
ringside seats- and general admission bleachers.
The show is to be staged in the
"natural bowl" at the foot of the
ski slide at Snowsriake, with the
crowd seated on rising slopes close
to the ring.
While it was expected that the
Bert Ruby - Johnny Gates main
event would draw most of the interest-, - it - haa * been the" midget
match that has the local fans talking. Both midgets, The Mighty
Schultz and Tuffy McCra have
been seen on television screens
many times and will probably hi-
light the entire show.
In the opener, Mr.. New York,
holder of th? "Most perfectly Developed Man.'' title in New York
state and holder'of several weight
lifting titles will meet Paul Orth.
one of the country's outstanding
mat villians.
In the last event, the winners
will meet the losers in a six man
tag match. This contest with three
men in each corner is seldom seen
in the wrestling business because
it has resulted in near riots several -times when it has taken place.—
Reservations have come in from
Saginaw, Midland, and other outlying cities, indicating more than
usual interest in the bouts,
In the event that rain causes a
postponement, the show will be
held Saturday, July 10,

CampMcCoy
I   Tlie   Clare   unit   of  the   active
army reserves will leave Saturday
i June -27, for Camp McCoy, Wiscon-
1 sin, for,their annual two weeks, of
' summer   training,    according   to
M/Sgt.   Robert  Peterson,   regular
army unit advisor."
The men will go as a separate
unit since on May 1 Clare was designated by the Army repartment as
a substation to train reserves.
Members of the unit will leave
Clare by bus, and go to Flint,
whqre they will entrain as a body,
with destination Camp McCoy.
This practice in moving en masse
is a part of the training.
■ The reserve unit,  a Heavy
Weapons Company, will spend
from June 27 to July 11 at the
, camp,. working with machine
* guns, mortars, and other related -weapons. There are 26 enlisted men and two officers.
The local group .was ffarmed last
fall, and its organization was a
little unusual, Sgt. Peterson said.
Ordinarily, a reserve training
substation location is decided arbitrarily by the state organization
and then an attempt is made to recruit men into it.
Iii this case, a group of local
Mien,- wanting ai». Army Re-- '
- servo organization- in Clare,
petitioned state reserve officials to create a substation
here. This was doj-ie in May.
Up until that time, tlie group '
was officially a part of-the Bay
City unit.
The unit meets at the Clare Armory each Monday night, for two
hours for ^instruction  in tactics,
jweapons,  and general army sub-
■ jects.        .
' Of the glfoup, only eight
Members are non-veterans. Lt.
Cochran, the group commander, served in the European theatre in World War jl. M/Sgt.
Case .was in the China-Burma-
India Theatre, and Sgt. Bon-
atelle was in several Southern
Pacific campaigns.
• Under the Universal military
training, program, the eight nOn-
veterans, will eventually serve two
years duty as actives in the regu*
lar army.

Dr. Crane
To Address
Delbert Fortney Dead; Was
Oil Partner With Charlie Strange
Del Fortney, 65, a legendary oil
operator-and producer died Tuesday, June 22 in Grand Rapids
where he had gone on business.
His home was in Muskegon, but he
was well known all through the
midwest for activity in the oil industry since. 1929.
Mr. Fortney's sudden death was
thought due to a heart attack.
Friends here were informed that
last rites for Mr. Fortney were io
be held at three o'clock Friday,
(today) from the Clock Funeral
Home in Muskegon.
Mr. Fortney and Charles Strange
•were associated as partners in oil
production and discovery as early
as 1929. Their successful- business
ventures were climaxed in 1937
when they opened two oil fields in
Allegan county and drilled in twenty-three producing wells without a
miss. ..
In 1931, the third year of the
Fortney-Strange -association, they
hit real pay production with the.
opening of what oil men called the
east extension of the "Greendale
Pool." Continuing their success,
the pair in 1933 opened the west
extension of the Porter Field when
a 37-hundred barrel well came on
July 4.
Many of these wells are still producing.
On September 24, 1935, Fortney
and Strange made a spectacular
strike' with the drilling in of a
well in Ogemaw county, near West
Branch. This well was, at that
time, the biggest gusher in the
state.
Charles Strange estimates that
during the partnership activities of
Fortney and himself, they "must
have drilled more than a hundred
producing wells." It'has been six
years since the two have been active together in business.
Mr. Fortney had maintained an
office in Mt. Pleasant for about
thirty years before moving to
Muskegon.
You PQtsoned? Unintentional But True
If a nice, cool, tunafish salad is
planned for the evening meal tonight, pay heed to some advice
the U. S. Army offers.
Prepare only the amount it takes
to feed the- family, when the dish
is"* a custard, or a summer salad
made with mayonnaise, or a- casserole that involves'a cream sauce.
Army cooks follow this rule
because they have been advised that these dishes are especially good incubators for
food poisoning bacteria.
If there are leftovers of these
dishes, throw them away. It's not
so much wasteful as it is wise, to
give  the   family  protection from
food poisohing.
Keep the ingredients for such
dishes cold, and mi* them as near
to the time of serving as possible.
Susceptible foods at room temperature stimulate bacterial growth.
Mayonnaise and salad drcss-
- ings should be put .and kept in
the refrigerator once the seal
is broken. These products are
sterile when they leave the
store, but bacteria move in
with the first spoon.
When only a" part of a can ol
fruit or juice or vegetable is used,
leave the rest In the can, cover
and refrigerate it. That can has a
protective coating for a lining, but
the jar the food is transferred to
probably lias a bacteria lining.   .
Housewives n. ay take references
to bacteria wandering around
their kitchens as a reflection on
their housekeeping. None such is
intended. It's just that summertime   is   busytime   for   bacteria.
They're unavoidable.
Finally, an infected cut or
any infection on the hands is
' no good in the kitchen, Try to
let Someone else handle the
food, for the well being of all
concerned*

Suddenly, Walstrom heard a
