Local Banks
Lead In
Farm Credit
Michigan farmers met their
credit needs during 1954 chiefly by
loans from their local banks, according to J. Stuart Bicknell, President, Citizens State Bank of Clare
Michigan banks remained the largest lenders to the state's farmers
during the year, providing far
more financial aid to our farmers
than any other lending agency, he
noted.
Quoting from the fourteenth annual farm lending survey of the
Agricultural Commission of the
American Bankers Association,
Mr.' Bicknell stated that on Janu*-
ary 1, 1955, Michigan banks toad
loans outstanding to farmers total-
ji,^r $113^13,000 including .both production and mortgage loans. This
compares with a total «f §38,770,
000 held by the Federal Land
Banks, the second' largest' lender
to Michigan farmer's. In addition,
Michigan banks held ?13,851,000 in
C.C.C. loans under the governments price-support program not
included in the above figures.
"Despite reduced net income and
continued hig"h production expenses on farms", Mr. Bicknell said,
"repayment of loans is rapid, and
farm assets "are at near-record lev-'
els, indicating that these factors
have not weakened the financial
soundness of agriculture. Bank
loans play an important part in
maintaining this strong financial
position by permitting our farmers
to make use of the latest equip
ment and modern production and
marketing methods, resulting in
greater efficiency. The majority of
farm loans held by Michigan banks
are for these production and operating expenses".
Bearing out Mr. Bicknell's statement regarding the use of bank
loans to farmers is the fact that
of the total debt outstanding in
banks in Michigan on January 1,
■$68,027,000 was in non-real estate
or production loans This compares
with $8,554,000 held by Production
Credit Associations and $9,842,000
■held by the Farmers Home Administration. "It can be seen from
these figures that about 80 per cent
of the production credit used by
the .states's farmers in 1954 came
from banks" he staded. He also
pointed out that a high percentage
of the.$45,186,000 in farm mortgages held by banks in the state at
the begining of this year were
made for production and operating
purposes.
Mr. Bicknell reported that 407 of
the 419 insured commercial banks
in Michigan served agriculture by
making farm loans during 1954.

German Student Homebound From Beaverton
Deitrich Kroger of Walfsberg,
Am Kellersee, Eutin I. Holstein,
Germany, who attended Beaverton
High School last year as an exchange* student and graduated with
the Class of 1955 has returned to
his homeland.
He >eame here through Brethren
Service, which is a part of. Church
World Service, and lived in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mish
ler, Tobacco township farmers and
members of the Beaverton Church
of the Brethren.
The seventeen year old youth
was born December 3, 1937 at Eutin, a small town situated in an agricultural district of Germany. He
bas an older brother, Ulrich, 21,
and two sisters Helga 14, and Gi-
sela 12. His people are well known
farmers near Rendsberg Germany
and his father, Kurt Kroger, is director and advisor of an agricultural school near his home.
With this background it is natural for him to have a- number one
•interest in agricultral work and
plan to become ah advisor teacher
Some time ago a- Wyoming friend
described rural life and farm people" in America.- Since then, Dietrich had wanted to come to America and see for himself.
He finally got* bis chance as an
exchange student. One day a notice
was passed around his school, asking that students ■ interested in
spending a year in the United
States apply at the school office.
There were * certain requirements of age and scholastic standing to be met for .which Dietrich
qualified He also bad to pass some
oral tests. • • '
As it turned 'out, he was one of
2Q0 chosen,out of a field of 20,000
applicants. Being, chosen was in
his own words "all like a.dream
since my grades, were just'average". ■ - .
The 200. chosen students were
directed various- destinations in
the United States. Arriving at New
Windsor Maryland in 'August 1954-,
they were met-by their seperate
sponsors and taken to their new
homes. .,...,■ „. •
Krogef was met • by Rev. and
Mrs. Ernest Jehnsen, pastors* of
ito meet the group of returning students of the year before.
'Some"of his first impressions of
America were different than what
he had expected from the things
he had heard of this country.
• "Most ■ Germans think America
is a vast country with one family
living on a square mile, who eat
mostly, dry cereal and canned
food, buy meat, -milk and'almost
everything in. cans" Besides that,
every family has a nice car, or
two, and refrigerators, wash machines and deep freezes*' Dietrich
said.
"In Gemany we do not have dry
real in the morning, we eat a
kind of buns or rye bread and
drink coffee, milk or cocoa. We
and a, Florida cousin of Deitrich's [the Beaverton Church of the Breth..

thought was "just like fleas oh a
wet dog".
Even though he had six years of
English in school he found he had
many language problems here.' Although he was assured he spoke
English quite well he was -"well
aware 'he often called things by
their wrong name. He relates one
instance at the Mishler home
when he was trying to speak about
pickles He couldn't think of the
word for ithem so he quickly
thought up a definition for them
and said "Oh you know, those
green bananas".
Another amusing, and for Dietrich, embarrasing instance -was
the first morning in'rthe Mishler
home. When he got up, Mrs. Mish-
hardly ever buy canned foods. Myiler "said to him "Dieter,- >do • you
mother even makes her own soup, want scrambled eggs • and bacon
A car.is still a luxury for most,for breakfast?" He replied instant-
people, because there just aren't ly "Oh no! Kroger said Mrs. Mish-
■distances, and walking is good for j ler remembered yet' the funny look
you too, There are scarcely any,on his face. "Now I don't iriind
refrigerators, televisions, or deep scrambled eggs at "all'.''
/freezes" Kroger repealed. ' Speaking of hiss experience here
• He says.he really, got his first ,he said "I am so thankful to have
impression^ of' America when he ithe opportunity to be-a-* part; of
arrived, at Manhattan island and the Exchange Student program
saw alt' the cars a'nd his first /and for the privilege of- attehding
the Beaverton High School. I really enjoyed the graduation ceremonies for I had heard a lot about
them. I don't know why -we don't
have such ceremonies and yearbooks in Germany, I wish more
students from both countries could
have the chance to spend a year
in a foreign -country I believe that
this is the best way to a. peaceful
understanding between these two
■great nations and that this will
give both* the right impression
about each other".
While at Beaverton, Kroger
spoke to the Beaverton Lions Club,
Farm Bureau groups, the Beaverton Garden Club, and church
groups. Each time 'he showed the
many beautiful colored slides he
had brought along of his homeland. While 'here he made a trip

Epilepsy
Mobile Center
Tours State
L. W. Juhnke, M. D., President of
the Gratiot-Isabella-Clare Medical
Society, announced today that the
Mobile Brain Wave Laboratory of
the Michigan Epilepsy Center, a
Michigan United Fund member
agency, will be in Mt. Pleasant
August 19 through August 25 to
provide physicians with specialist
laboratory facilities for their epileptic patients.
The Brain Wave Machine, known
as an EEG (short for electroencephalograph), is used to study behavior of brain cells.
EEG examinations, one part of
the diagnosis of convulsive disorders, will be conducted at Central
Michigan Community Hospital. Patients must be given appointments
through their , family physicians,
according to Frank S Perkin, M.
D., President of the Michigan Epilepsy Center's Board of Directors.
Doctor Juhnke pointed out that
adequate medical and social care
can help eighty out of every one
hundred epileptics to lead relatively normal lives. Prompt medical
care, he said, is the first step toward conquering epilepsy, which is
a major community "health problem affecting more than 60,000 persons in , Michigan today. Doctor
Juhnke noted that epilepsy often
begins in childhood and that it often lasts throughout a person's lifetime. However, he said, tile attack
itself is a symptom like headaches
or coughing are symptoms "of varied conditions.
Following the EEG tests, rieuro'
logical examinations will' be conducted in Mt. Pleasant by Z. Ste-
ning fair-goers
a spine tingler wfhen the famous
Lucky Lott presents his corps of
auto stunt drivers in death flirting
driving.
Lucky Lott, hailed as the ace oi
all stunt driving shows touring the
fairs this season, will direct the
Isabella County Fair show in per-"
son.
But professional talent will not
'steal the show' during the five
days and nights of the annual f aW..
festival in the opinion of Fair
President Fred Grewe. "We haye
an all-star bill of home features
that will bold the interest of young
and old" Grewe declared.
Starting off on Tuesday, Aug. 23 •
home talent day - the fair will present a great variety show of outstanding county amateurs under
the direction of Don Woodruff and
Harvey Lawery.
. Tractor pulling, a fast growing
crowd pleaser will 'be featured on
Wednesday afternoon and again onc
Thursday afternoon. Also oh Thursday afternoon in a double-feature
•billing, the Chippewa Rangier Rid-
ing Club will present a rodeo.
"" Thursday" night"fair" goers wiU
enjoy one of the finest features of
the entire fair - the parade of blue
ribbon livestock and floats, itself a
great spectacle. The same eyening
will see the auction of championship beef animals. The sales annually create high interest not only among owners of the animals
but the crowd.
And as a final feature for the
Thursday night show, four or more
county tug-of-war teams will puU
against each, other for cash, and
applause to determine the champs
of Isabella. And for a climax tQ
the war of weights, the tug of war
champs will put their muscles
against a team of borses of equal
weight.
Can men out-pull Horses? The
special contest is expected to give
the answer. Both Earl Hafer, of
Rosebush, champion horse-puller
driver and owner and Ernie
Klumpp of Lincoln township have
offered to send their teams against
the men. Klumpp, always a versatile fellow at fair time, announced
that he will serve as anchor man
on the tug of war team if his horses are not called in the ring to
pull.
Saturday - Farmers Day - "will
feature afternoon and evening
horsepulling contests.
Again this year the state championship horseshoe pitching contest
will be held at Island Park during
fair week, sponsored by the Mt.
Pleasant K. C. and Moose lodges.
'Monday also will see the opening
of the Michigan Gladiolus Show
regional -competition under the
direction- of Ken Harper. The glad
s'Ko'w, bfeld in the Merchants building on August 23 and 24 is a showJ-
>ir itself.
Growers of glads frorri. all sec5*
tions of Michigan will put'their
choicest blooms into competition.
Flower fanciers, Fair Manager
Richard Hickman noted, should
keep the dates in mind, Aug. 23-24,
as the glad exhibit is displayed for
two days only.
After Tuesday, flowers are removed to make way for additional
merchant exhibit.
Another event that will take
place during fair week at the
grounds will be the annual state
horseshoe pitching contest to determine tht state champion.
This year the event is being
sponsored jointly by the Mt. Pleasant Knights of Columbus and
Moose lodges. Getting, underway
the first of the week local pitchers
will compete in the regional
championships with the state finals on Saturday and Sunday.
With more than $4,000 offered in
premium money this year, Fair
President Fred Grewe forecast the
greatest competition for cash and
blue ribbons in the history of the
fair. He said plans already have
been completed to provide extra
tents to house the larger number
of beef and dairy animals that will
be put into competition.
Grewe predicted the expanded
grandstand program, and high interest among youth exhibitors
would shater the 1954 aU time record atendance of 7107 in the grand
stand.

Local Banks Lead In Farm Credit Michigan farmers met their credit needs during 1954 chiefly by loans from their local banks, according to J. Stuart Bicknell, President, Citizens State Bank of Clare Michigan banks remained the largest lenders to the state's farmers during the year, providing far more financial aid to our farmers than any other lending agency, he noted. Quoting from the fourteenth annual farm lending survey of the Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association, Mr.' Bicknell stated that on Janu*- ary 1, 1955, Michigan banks toad loans outstanding to farmers total- ji,^r $113^13,000 including .both production and mortgage loans. This compares with a total «f §38,770, 000 held by the Federal Land Banks, the second' largest' lender to Michigan farmer's. In addition, Michigan banks held ?13,851,000 in C.C.C. loans under the governments price-support program not included in the above figures. "Despite reduced net income and continued hig"h production expenses on farms", Mr. Bicknell said, "repayment of loans is rapid, and farm assets "are at near-record lev-' els, indicating that these factors have not weakened the financial soundness of agriculture. Bank loans play an important part in maintaining this strong financial position by permitting our farmers to make use of the latest equip ment and modern production and marketing methods, resulting in greater efficiency. The majority of farm loans held by Michigan banks are for these production and operating expenses". Bearing out Mr. Bicknell's statement regarding the use of bank loans to farmers is the fact that of the total debt outstanding in banks in Michigan on January 1, ■$68,027,000 was in non-real estate or production loans This compares with $8,554,000 held by Production Credit Associations and $9,842,000 ■held by the Farmers Home Administration. "It can be seen from these figures that about 80 per cent of the production credit used by the .states's farmers in 1954 came from banks" he staded. He also pointed out that a high percentage of the.$45,186,000 in farm mortgages held by banks in the state at the begining of this year were made for production and operating purposes. Mr. Bicknell reported that 407 of the 419 insured commercial banks in Michigan served agriculture by making farm loans during 1954. The - tenth annual Isabella County. ..Youth'. and. Farm.

German Student Homebound From Beaverton Deitrich Kroger of Walfsberg, Am Kellersee, Eutin I. Holstein, Germany, who attended Beaverton High School last year as an exchange* student and graduated with the Class of 1955 has returned to his homeland. He >eame here through Brethren Service, which is a part of. Church World Service, and lived in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mish ler, Tobacco township farmers and members of the Beaverton Church of the Brethren. The seventeen year old youth was born December 3, 1937 at Eutin, a small town situated in an agricultural district of Germany. He bas an older brother, Ulrich, 21, and two sisters Helga 14, and Gi- sela 12. His people are well known farmers near Rendsberg Germany and his father, Kurt Kroger, is director and advisor of an agricultural school near his home. With this background it is natural for him to have a- number one •interest in agricultral work and plan to become ah advisor teacher Some time ago a- Wyoming friend described rural life and farm people" in America.- Since then, Dietrich had wanted to come to America and see for himself. He finally got* bis chance as an exchange student. One day a notice was passed around his school, asking that students ■ interested in spending a year in the United States apply at the school office. There were * certain requirements of age and scholastic standing to be met for .which Dietrich qualified He also bad to pass some oral tests. • • ' As it turned 'out, he was one of 2Q0 chosen,out of a field of 20,000 applicants. Being, chosen was in his own words "all like a.dream since my grades, were just'average". ■ - . The 200. chosen students were directed various- destinations in the United States. Arriving at New Windsor Maryland in 'August 1954-, they were met-by their seperate sponsors and taken to their new homes. .,...,■ „. • Krogef was met • by Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Jehnsen, pastors* of ito meet the group of returning students of the year before. 'Some"of his first impressions of America were different than what he had expected from the things he had heard of this country. • "Most ■ Germans think America is a vast country with one family living on a square mile, who eat mostly, dry cereal and canned food, buy meat, -milk and'almost everything in. cans" Besides that, every family has a nice car, or two, and refrigerators, wash machines and deep freezes*' Dietrich said. "In Gemany we do not have dry real in the morning, we eat a kind of buns or rye bread and drink coffee, milk or cocoa. We and a, Florida cousin of Deitrich's [the Beaverton Church of the Breth.. father'visited in Germany^ and jren Who had taken a student.tliere. thought was "just like fleas oh a wet dog". Even though he had six years of English in school he found he had many language problems here.' Although he was assured he spoke English quite well he was -"well aware 'he often called things by their wrong name. He relates one instance at the Mishler home when he was trying to speak about pickles He couldn't think of the word for ithem so he quickly thought up a definition for them and said "Oh you know, those green bananas". Another amusing, and for Dietrich, embarrasing instance -was the first morning in'rthe Mishler home. When he got up, Mrs. Mish- hardly ever buy canned foods. Myiler "said to him "Dieter,- >do • you mother even makes her own soup, want scrambled eggs • and bacon A car.is still a luxury for most,for breakfast?" He replied instant- people, because there just aren't ly "Oh no! Kroger said Mrs. Mish- ■distances, and walking is good for j ler remembered yet' the funny look you too, There are scarcely any,on his face. "Now I don't iriind refrigerators, televisions, or deep scrambled eggs at "all'.'' /freezes" Kroger repealed. ' Speaking of hiss experience here • He says.he really, got his first ,he said "I am so thankful to have impression^ of' America when he ithe opportunity to be-a-* part; of arrived, at Manhattan island and the Exchange Student program saw alt' the cars a'nd his first /and for the privilege of- attehding the Beaverton High School. I really enjoyed the graduation ceremonies for I had heard a lot about them. I don't know why -we don't have such ceremonies and yearbooks in Germany, I wish more students from both countries could have the chance to spend a year in a foreign -country I believe that this is the best way to a. peaceful understanding between these two ■great nations and that this will give both* the right impression about each other". While at Beaverton, Kroger spoke to the Beaverton Lions Club, Farm Bureau groups, the Beaverton Garden Club, and church groups.

D., President of the Gratiot-Isabella-Clare Medical Society, announced today that the Mobile Brain Wave Laboratory of the Michigan Epilepsy Center, a Michigan United Fund member agency, will be in Mt. Pleasant August 19 through August 25 to provide physicians with specialist laboratory facilities for their epileptic patients. The Brain Wave Machine, known as an EEG (short for electroencephalograph), is used to study behavior of brain cells. EEG examinations, one part of the diagnosis of convulsive disorders, will be conducted at Central Michigan Community Hospital. Patients must be given appointments through their , family physicians, according to Frank S Perkin, M. D., President of the Michigan Epilepsy Center's Board of Directors. Doctor Juhnke pointed out that adequate medical and social care can help eighty out of every one hundred epileptics to lead relatively normal lives. Prompt medical care, he said, is the first step toward conquering epilepsy, which is a major community "health problem affecting more than 60,000 persons in , Michigan today. Doctor Juhnke noted that epilepsy often begins in childhood and that it often lasts throughout a person's lifetime. However, he said, tile attack itself is a symptom like headaches or coughing are symptoms "of varied conditions. Following the EEG tests, rieuro' logical examinations will' be conducted in Mt. Pleasant by Z. Ste- ning fair-goers a spine tingler wfhen the famous Lucky Lott presents his corps of auto stunt drivers in death flirting driving.

And as a final feature for the Thursday night show, four or more county tug-of-war teams will puU against each, other for cash, and applause to determine the champs of Isabella. And for a climax tQ the war of weights, the tug of war champs will put their muscles against a team of borses of equal weight. Can men out-pull Horses? The special contest is expected to give the answer. Both Earl Hafer, of Rosebush, champion horse-puller driver and owner and Ernie Klumpp of Lincoln township have offered to send their teams against the men. Klumpp, always a versatile fellow at fair time, announced that he will serve as anchor man on the tug of war team if his horses are not called in the ring to pull. Saturday - Farmers Day - "will feature afternoon and evening horsepulling contests. Again this year the state championship horseshoe pitching contest will be held at Island Park during fair week, sponsored by the Mt. Pleasant K. C. and Moose lodges.
