' They will exercise an
option they now hold on the
property of John L, Myers
nine miles north of Clare
on Old US-27 and bounded
on the south by Mannsiding
Road.
The price of the property is $50,000.
Action finally approving
the site came at the Board's
regular meeting held in
Gladwin and followed weeks
of study and sifting through
reports on advantages and
qualifications of several
locations under consideration.
The trustees had recently narrowed the final
choices down to four, and
hired -Scott Engineering
company of Alpena to compare them as possible campus sites.
Also under option or with
promises of availability,
the three other parcels
were judged less desirable
because of expense in preparing the land, or lack of
adequate roads and other
services. They were:

Beaverton; only 5 miles
from Harrison and 14
away from Farwell.

It was pointed out that the
Myers property is about
four and one-half miles
from these "ideal" points.
The location of the new
college site was nevertheless the reason for the two
No votes in Tuesday's decision.
Voting against the purchase were College Board
Members William Mercer
and Mrs. William Lang,
both from Beaverton.
They offered the reason
for their votes as being
that the location was not
advantageous to Beaverton
residents. It was evident
that a location further east
would have been easier for
them to accept.
Assurances were given
of the two Beaverton members' willingness to abide
by the decision of the majority, and their sincere
ability to continue to work
for the good of the college
in the entire district.
Yes votes in favor of
the Myers property purchase came from Chairman Dr. Paul Rhoades,
Vice Chairman Charles
Amble, and Trustees Ellis

character of the school as
one which serves an entire
area and art work and stationery will carry the name

Buy Pulpwood
By Weight?
A Michigan State University authority said recently that pulpwood, sold
vqji a volume or "stacked
pile" basis for the last
eighty years, may be sold
by   weight  in the future.
Douglas Gerrard said
that buying and selling pulp
wood—primary ingredient
of paper—by weight is a
new trend in the timber industry. Many southern saw
mills are now buying saw
logs by the ton, instead of
by estimated lumber out-
"put, he said. Gerrard believes the practice will
eventually become generally accepted by the timber
industry.
Pulpwood consists of 4
or 8 ft» long sticks, called
bolts, which are 4 to 10
jMSnches in diameter. The
wood is de-barked and
ground up at the pulpit-ill

decision on the site.
He said that every member of the Board had been
under considerable "pressure" from residents of
each one's locality to pick
a campus site close to that
particular town.
He concluded that many
weeks of careful study and
the professional advice of
the engineering firm and
experts from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University all
backed up the soundness of
the final decision.

Water Heater

Pesticides
Vital But
Use With Care
The way to solve the
pesticide problem is not
by banning pesticides but
by gaining a better understanding of their effects on
biological systems says
Dr. Gordon Guyer, chairman of Michigan State University's Department of
Entomology and director
of the Pesticide Research
Center.
Guyer and associates are
convinced that pesticides
are absolutely necessary to
modern agriculture. At the
same time they have
concern over possible contamination. Forthat reason
researchers from 17 departments at Michigan
State University have banded together to study pesticides from basic points of
view.
"Without pesticides, 70
percent of Michigan apples
would be infested and livestock pests would lower
meat and milk production
by more than 25 percent"
Guyer maintains.
