Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - November 19, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 8 The Cedar Rapids Gazette: Tues., Nov. '.9. 1971 Residents Raise Funds for Ambulance Gazette Pholo by Larry Tan Firemen Battle Blaze in Silo Marion firemen spray water on the remnants of a large silo on the Weaver WHwer farm four miles north of the city near the Tenth street road. The silo was toppled Monday noon after firemen were unable to extinguish a series of small blazes burning in the contents. The fires apparently ignit- ed several weeks ago by spontaneous combustion, firemen said. Several thousand gallons of water were poured into the silo. Last Saturday, sparks from the silo set a large barn adjacent to it on fire, causing minor roof damage. The silo burst apart as it hit the ground Monday and firemen kept the blaze which erupted under control. Trucks from both the Marion and Alburnett fire departments were on the scene. Family Spat Stirs Still-Vital GOP By Arnold B. Sawislak WASHINGTON (DPI) Anyone who thinks the ar- gument between the Republican left and right that started after the 1974 elections is just a family spat at the funeral ought to take another look at the corpse. 'Taint dead. What happened to the Republican party Nov. 5 did not require the services of an undertaker. While the loss of 40-plus house seats may have justified calling the Democra- tic victory a landslide, the Republicans came out of the elections with fewer losses in tlie senate and slatehouses than many independent ob- servers (and many Repub- licans) expected. Johnson Board To Seek Pact For New Offices IOWA CITY The Johnson county board of supervisors Monday unanimously voted to attempt to reach an agree- ment with federal authorities, which would allow moving of major county offices into the federal building here. The supervisors wish to move county zoning offices, the engineering department and the supervisors' offices from their present location at the courthouse, across the street into the new federal building. Communications with fed- eral authorities have suggest- ed a rental price of per square foot, which would allow the county some square feet of office space for an annual rental in excess of The supervisors have been seeking additional office space for over a year-and-a-half. If the move to the federal build- ing is allowed, the county probate office would move into offices presently occupied at the courthouse by the motor vehicle department. The motor vehicle depart- ment, in turn, would take over space prcsenlly occupied by the county assessor's office and probate departments. By winning some new gover- norships, especially Ohio, and by holding slatehouses and senate seats where they were said lo he in deep trouble Michigan, Kansas, New York, for three the GOP showed il remains a vital force in American politics. But overriding (he mid-term election results is the fact that Ihe Republican parly holds the presidency. In lerms of sur- vival, occupancy of the White House can he the factor that wipes out all the billcr losses of 1974 and provides the oppor- tunity to rebuild toward victory in 1976. The key is Gerald Ford's conduct of Ihe presidency, and that is what Republican con- servatives, and liberals have been arguing about since the dawn of Nov. (i. Despite a congressional record that placed him lo the right of center in the GOP, Ford has nol positioned him- self firmly in cither ideological camp as President, and now both sides are inlerpreling the elcclion returns in a way thai they hope will give him a shove in their direction. Extended Appeal The liberal (self-described Republican Ripon Society issued an analysis of the election returns thai concluded Ihe GOP "will conlinue lo shrivel if ils members insist upon nominal- ing candidates whose appeal does not extend beyond the hard-core rank and file" of the parly. "It has long been manifest that Republicans have to nominate moderates or progressives if they want to win stalewide office in the more populous states." a Kipon statement said. As backup for its conclusion, the group said of Ihe 70 members of Ihe archcorihcrva- tive Republican house 'Steer- ing Committee' lost Nov. 5, while "only one of the members of the moderate Republican 'Wednesday Group' failed in re-election bids." Ripon adds: "To blame the large losses of the GOP on Watergate alone obscures the fact that the victims of Water- gate tended to be those Congressmen who made no ef- fort to broaden the base of their constituency." Conservative Themes The conservative response to the election is In deny that it was a liberal victory.

Born May 2, 1900 in Tindall, Mo., she married Victor Droz in Trenton, Mo. on Dec. 9, 1921. She lived in Cedar Rapids until I960 when, she and her husband moved to Fairfield and then to Wellman where Mrs. Droz resided for the last six years. She was a member of the Calvary Baptist chruch in Cedar Rapids and the Well- man Embroidery club.

McGovern and Gary Hart campaigned in on conservative themes and that "the national trend remains to the right." To Buchanan, the election Ford and other Republican leaders ought to be looking at is 1975, when he said the GOP gave voters "clear and com- pelling reasons" for support- ing it. And, he says, if the Republican party is "ever to forge a new coalition" of Americans opposed to liberal policies and programs "it must rtOt aside the politics of 'con- ciliation, compromise, coop- eration and consensus'." Ripon and Buchanan were making public statements. But the ear they were trying to catch was in the White House.

(UP1) Digging for change at lollbuulhs can be a nuisance, but New Jersey turnpike riders may soon have the convenience of shouting "charge it" when they exit. The turnpike, which claims to be the busiest toll road in the country, issued special credit cards to its own employes to test the new system for six months before extending it to the general public. Employes will present the plastic credit cards to toll collectors as they leave the turnpike. The toll taker will process a toll slip similar to a credit sales slip and will give part of the slip to the mo- torist-employe, the spokesman said. A spokesman said the turn- pike is the nation's first toll road to test credit cards. "It's a research project that has all sorts of possibilities for the future if it proves that vehicles can be processed more quickly and according to the turnpike spokesman. "It just staggers the imagination just as long as you can record the transaction and get the bill to the right place." Turnpike employes tradi- tionally are reimbursed for tolls paid when they are com- muting or while performing official business on the turn- pike, but the experiment will permit the turnpike to deter- mine if such a credit card sys- tem would make it possible to keep track of loll charges. The experiment will he con- ducted at toll plazas in New Brunswick, and in nearby Woodbridgc and Edison, N. J.

Gurugoda Kanishta Vidyalaya Horana, officially opened its state-of-the-art computer lab at a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony. The computer lab donated by Pyxle, the country's leader in Internet Business Solutions, is a gift to the students to equip and enhance their computer literacy skills and knowledge.
Improving IT literacy is one of Pyxle's flagship CSR initiatives. This project aims to provide students in a rural area the opportunity to explore their own potential, to be exposed to innovative ideas and to contribute to a more productive community. Pyxle visited and reviewed several other schools and shortlisted Gurugoda KV for the presentation.
Gurugoda Vidyalaya has humble beginnings after its establishment in 1961. Several years of lack of funding witnessed a dismal population of only 54 students and 10 teachers in 2010. Together with the school administrators and effervescent principal, the course of this school changed. Today Gurogoda Vidyalaya is regarded as a model school where new ways of teaching for children are helping them to learn, grow, and thrive, helping uncover a generation of little geniuses.
The Pyxle Project was initiated with an aim of introducing the inexorable digital age to the classroom. The entire project involved converting a basic building structure into a comprehensive IT lab through the provision of comprehensive electrical wiring for the facility, a refitted ceiling, brand-new computers with a dedicated internet connection. Pyxle employees, together with school volunteers cleared and painted the structure, assembled furniture and help set up the computers.
"We want our students to be capable and competitive in the 21st Century and this computer lab will play an important role in providing our students with technological access to the information available to them beyond the classroom. Our goal is to prepare our students for their future" said School Principal Ajith Kumara.
The new lab will benefit and provide 150 students with access to the most recent technology and a high quality education. Pyxle will continue to assist the School, maintain the facility and ensure structured IT training for both the teachers and the students.
"At Pyxle we believe it is imperative to support the education and development of students in keeping with our core values of creating a better future for the community we live in. Given their limited facilities the school together with their dedicated and indefatigably Principal Ajith Kumara, has created a center of excellence, taking on the role of catalyst to expose students to better teaching methods. The IT lab will help Gurugoda Kanishta Vidyalaya connect to the global village with its vast library of knowledge. We truly foresee a brighter future for these children" noted Presantha Jayamaha, Managing Director, Pyxle.
Commenting on this realization of a long felt need, Gurugoda KV Principal said "We are truly grateful for this generous gift and offer of ongoing support from Pyxle. These computers will help our students enhance their IT skills and connect with the world. Our school mission is to foster life-long learners who will be an asset to our society and I firmly believe this lab will help us do just that."

score all A's this semester, rethink that goal. Maybe it's not
practical to turn your borderline B's into a perfect report card,
but you can master French verb conjugations or totally
dominate your oral presentation in History.
Celebrate small accomplishments
You got a 90 on a quiz in bio? Heck
yeah! Give yourself a pat on the back, tape up your paper in your
locker or over your desk and reward yourself with a treat. You
deserve it.
Find something sensational in every
Just 'cause the Renaissance isn't
exactly your thing doesn't mean working on your project has to
stink. If you're an artist, throw yourself into creating the
coolest tri-fold poster ever. If you love to write, crank out a
top-notch paper. If you love to talk, start making index cards now
for your oral report.
Start trying in gym class
Not everyone is a soccer superstar, but
if you've gotta spend half an hour kicking a ball around, why not
actually go for it and hone your skills (and burn off that cookie you
had with lunch) instead of strategically avoiding an actual exercise?
A solid workout causes your body to release endorphins. Endorphins
make you happy. So go for it!
Join a club in an area you want to
improve in
Too often, academic classes are
intended to focus on your strengths rather than improving your
weaknesses. Duck a poor grade in art class and still learn how
to draw a reasonably life-like hand by joining the art club. Or
figure out how to edit a video with the A.V. team.
Pack a truly tasty lunch
Nothing kills your only free period
like a soggy sandwich or a so-greasy-it's-inedible slice of
cafeteria pizza. Set aside ten minutes in the morning (or the night
before) and put together a meal you'll be excited to eat when the
lunch bell rings.
Do your homework
Cut down on stress by scheduling a time
for you to complete your homework every day after school. That way,
you won't be freaking about finishing up your math problems on the
bus or during homeroom, or figuring out a good excuse for why your
lab report is late…again.
Choose topics that excite you
Sure, sometimes Teach tells ya exactly
what to write about or study. But sometimes, the world really is
your oyster. Take advantage of those times by doing a little
preliminary brainstorming and researching if necessary to come up
with an approach to an essay question or project that truly interests
Participate in spirit days
School spirit is infectious—take
part, encourage your friends to follow your lead and we promise
you'll have a blast.
Run for class president
OK, so maybe you still hate school. Sit
down and think about why you hate it so much. Then toss your hat into
the presidential ring. If you don't like it, change it, chica!

Jupiter shines like a beacon in the southern sky. There is an eerie halo around a waxing gibbous moon. This circle of ice crystals disappears as the clouds make way for the moon to throw its ghostly light across fields and hedges.
Bright stars are revealed, studding the heavens like sparkling eyes. Lyra and Cygnus, Cassiopeia and Andromeda. Mythical names in faraway places.
We are tiny. Specks in a massive universe.
The Enchanted Village is still tonight, in mourning for two good souls who are no longer with us. Our wise neighbour, Gandalf, once so active and skilful, who gradually became old and weary and was ready to go. Every time I walk in my kitchen I see him in my mind, fitting my cupboard and plastering a wall when he was eighty years old and running around like a man half his age.
And then the sad, sad passing of our shopkeeper, a woman not much older than me, who died suddenly on holiday. She was far too young to go. A serene, kind person, a hard worker who did not deserve to be taken so soon.
Two more stars join the heavens.
That's about it.

Carlisle woman's distress over wrong headstone on parents' grave
Last updated at 12:49, Tuesday, 12 February 2013
A mother was left in tears after bungling workers put the wrong headstone on her parents' grave.
Tracey Wright, 47, of Creighton Avenue, on Carlisle's Raffles estate, discovered the mistake after one of her children questioned whether their granddad's grave had been moved.
"My son went up on Saturday and when he was around mine on Sunday he asked if anybody had moved Nana and granddad," she said.
When Miss Wright went to see for herself, she was horrified to find that a headstone for another couple entirely had been placed above her parents' grave.
Miss Wright was adopted by her parents at the age of three months, and was devastated when her mum, Mary Jane, died about 15 years ago.
She kept in touch with her father Cyril as much as possible and was devastated when he died on December 23.
After his death, aged 86, Mr Wright was buried beside his wife at the same plot in the city's crematorium.
As is traditional, the headstone was removed, for Cyril's name and dates to be engraved on it, but a contractor mistakenly replaced it with the wrong headstone.
"I was just devastated," Miss Wright said. "He was one of the most important people in my life.
"My children are really upset too – my eldest daughter was very close to my dad: he was due to walk her down the aisle in June.
"This has just made it all really raw again."
She added: "I know mistakes happen, but I feel this shouldn't have happened."
After the News & Star spoke to funeral directors and stonemasons, we were told the headstone was being removed. A contractor at the site declined to comment, except to say that he had not been responsible and the mistake was being rectified immediately.
Miss Wright's father's headstone is not expected to be ready for another week.

Vedanta Alumina Limited (VAL), on Wednesday, shut down its alumina refinery at Lanjigarh in Odisha's Kalahandi district, and stopped feeding bauxites and started washing its tanks.
"We have already started the process of shutting down alumina plant from the morning. By evening, the one million tonne per annum alumina refinery would completely come to standstill," Mukesh Kumar, CEO of VAL, told this correspondent over phone.
VAL, on Tuesday, said despite all efforts over the past three months to ensure sustainable supplies of bauxite for the Lanjigarh refinery, the company was not able to find any solution.
Although the company had assured that it would not retrench its employees now, about 7,000 people engaged directly and indirectly in the refinery were preparing to face an uncertain future.
Smelter plant
VAL sources said closure of the refinery would lead to shutting down of the group's smelter plant in Jharsuguda district that relies on alumina, raw material of aluminium, from the Lanjigarh unit. The smelter is at present operating on alumina stock.
The Vedanta Group had spent Rs.5,000 crore for setting up the alumina refinery at Lanjigarh, and proposed to invest a further Rs.4,000 crore on expansion, which, however, could not materialise on account of alleged violation of green laws.

Date published: 2014-11-10 Rated 3 out of 5 by anna31 from Great pigmentation just terrible packaging I loved the colors in this blush pallet. They are very pigmented and aren't chalky. The reason why I only gave it three stars was because of the packaging. The blushes can pop out and i don't understand that concept because i believe that it's a pallet for a reason. You can slightly touch the back of the blush and it will just pop out. It even pops out when i'm simply trying to open the pallet, so it's very annoying.

They could make a whole palette of pinks, a whole palette of corals, a whole palette of plums. The possibilities are endless! And I would buy them all tbh. PLEASE EXPAND THE AMOUNT OF SHADES.

I normally will use the darkest shade which I don't really need but I like a lot of color on my cheeks.You have to either make sure you tap your brush well before you put it on or rub your face where you applied the blush because the hues are really strong and vibrant. Well, that's if you don't want A LOT of color. I love this product too. Thanks ELF Date published: 2014-10-28 Rated 5 out of 5 by DannyGirl from Simply Beautiful!

I am able to touchup throughout the day, so it's a good product for me. Beautiful pigmentation though (I got the palette in dark).

I never realized the blush I was using before was so bad until I tried this one! The coral shade on the right is absolutely gorgeous, and has just enough sparkle. The darker pink is also very pretty. These are very pigmented, and I put on too much at first. The staying power is excellent, lasts all day with little fading. Definitely would buy this again!

DETROIT -- Wolverine Foods, owner of 118 Pizza Huts, was allowed to reopen eight Detroit-area stores that were closed by the Michigan Attorney General on March 21 for non-payment of taxes.
La-Van Hawkins, CEO and president of Wolverine, told Detroit TV station WDIV that the closures resulted from a miscommunication with the state, and that the matter would be resolved quickly.
On March 23, a judge allowed the restaurants to be reopened temporarily, pending payment of the taxes.
Attempts by PizzaMarketplace to talk to Hawkins went unanswered.
According to the Detroit News, Hawkins announced that he plans to spend nearly $20 million to open six fine-dining restaurants in Detroit by 2006.
To operate the high-end ventures, Hawkins formed Lineage Group Two. The goal, he said, is to bring more premium dining options to downtown Detroit.
"People ... want something new," he said. "In any other city, you'll see (an abundance) of fine-food restaurants and we want to bring them here."
Downtown Detroit has claimed at least two restaurant scene victims in recent years; a jazz supper and comedy club and Bennigan's restaurant failed in 1997 and 2000 respectively. Hawkins' own upscale restaurant, Sweet Georgia Brown, however, has succeeded since opening in the same neighborhood in 1997.
"We have such a strong parent company in Wolverine Pizza and La-Van Hawkins International, and failure is not in our repertoire," Hawkins told the News. "We've had many successes in the fast-food business. We understand this business, and we see ourselves being able to generate a new company that will do $300 million to $600 million in revenue" annually.
Hawkins' companies have more than 9,000 employees and reported sales of more than $200 million last year. Along with Black Entertainment Television founder Robert Johnson, Hawkins owns a share of five BET Soundstage clubs and 20 Hilton Hotels.

About Patti Henderson
Welcome to Hale O'oma.
I am so blessed to be able to call Hawaii my home. I relocated from California two years ago. After leaving my job of 25 years as a Property Manger, I came to islands for a quieter, simpler life. The experiences I have had since moving here still amaze me. I now enjoy spending my time as a consultant, but my true passion is Interior/Space Design.
The energy from the spirit of the islands has changed our lives. We invite you share it with us. Aloha
Why Patti Henderson chose Kailua Kona
I chose the location for the view and for the energy the land holds. We are close to town, to the airport and to wonderful beaches, yet away from the hustle and bustle of being in town.
The choice has proved to be an excellent one!
What makes this house unique
Besides the 180 degree view of the ocean sunsets, the best thing about Hale O'oma is the energy. There is a peacefully, tranquil energy that allows one's soul to truly relax and commune with nature. The morning birds, the swaying palms and the island breezes lend themselves to you and allow for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Wow, this home was perfect. Super private, quiet and clean. Kudos to the new cleaning company. We will be back for sure! Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation.

Im not sure how you made your
Im not sure how you made your connection since Eminem has never been part of the system. He has always been an outsider to the rest of the artist in his genera.
Sure a lot of his earlier music contained extremely graphic and offensive content, but it also was at a time when he was constantly being attacked on everything he did. So his music was a way to attack back, a slap in the face to those that hated him.
And before you want to say those who listen to him are already on the dark side, listen to the lyrics first. Don't just hear them and make a decision, listen and understand them.
Im a cajun and grew up on country, but I like Eminem because his music strikes something in me, its understanding of things I've been through. It is probably the only rap I ever listen to because it actually has meaning in the words. His music is his way of expressing the struggles and events in his life. So rather than being an attraction to those that are already angry, for me his music became a way to release my angers.
Now for most other artist, I agree that it is just a huge propaganda machine. But be careful on blindly grouping certain people with certain music.

"Sometimes a single unlikely idea can have massive impact across the world. Sir Harold Evans, the author of They Made America, describes how frustration drove..."
Scooped by
Seth Dixon
onto Geography Education
I loved watching this because I had no idea about how this happened. Perfect for the Globalisation topic in Higher Level IB Geography. Definitely showing it tomorrow!
This is a very interesting short movie about globalization.What a great example of necessity being the mother of invention. Young truck driver Malcolm McLean sat in frustration as he watched cargo being painstakingly removed from trailers and placed on cargo ships. This process had been for decades the only way. It was in this frustration that Malcolm believed there had to be a better method.Malcolm stopped to think and created the idea of placing whole trailers or cargo containers on to ships ,saving up to 8 days on each delivery. Malcolm revolutionized the shipping industry and helped to create the massive transportation network we have today. As consumers we owe a great deal to this man and his "thinking outside the box" or should I say container.
This video proves how a simple idea has the potential to change the world. The truck driver had the insight to notice when the current shipping system was not particularly effective and had the ingenuity to do something about it. Because of this man, containerization was allowed to change how goods could move around the world. As goods move, they also spread different cultures through food, ideas, technology, and beliefs. Without this process, globalization would not be at the level that it exists at today. .

Score another point in the image rehabilitation process for John Lackey. The Red Sox right-hander joined a growing number of current MLB players stating that Alex Rodriguez should not be allowed to play for the Yankees during his appeal. Said Lackey: "I've got a problem with it. You bet I do. How is he still playing? He obviously did something and he's playing. I'm not sure that's right. … It's pretty evident he's been doing stuff for a lot of years I've been facing him." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Quentin Tarantino's 20 Coolest Movie Characters Of All Time
10. Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), "Inglourious Basterds"
With a ridiculous accent, broken vernacular and hit-or-miss superstar asked to embody him, the character of Aldo Raine could have easily stuck out like a sore thumb in Tarantino's World War II re-imagining. But Brad Pitt ran with the assignment at hand and turned the hard-headed Basterds leader into a comic masterstroke. In between strong dramatic turns in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Moneyball," Pitt demonstrated his versatility in arguably his strangest role to date (okay, "Interview with the Vampire" probably wins, but still).

Cumbria County Council recruiting 58 apprentices
Last updated at 12:11, Friday, 24 May 2013
Nearly 60 new apprentices are being recruited by Cumbria County Council.
The 58 posts are being offered in a variety of skills, ranging from business and administration to IT, health and social care, emergency fire and rescue, civil engineering and vehicle maintenance.
A roadshow highlighting career prospects with the authority takes place next week. It includes an event at the county's fire and rescue service headquarters in Penrith from 1.30pm to 5pm on Tuesday and the Inspira offices in Lowther Street, Carlisle, between 4.30pm-7pm on Wednesday.
Lynne Metcalf, the council's workforce skills manager, said: "Apprenticeships are something Cumbria County Council feels very passionately about. Our apprentices earn real job prospects, experience and valuable qualifications while working for one of the county's biggest employers."
The county council won recognition for its apprenticeship scheme at the North West Apprentice Employer of the Year award in 2012, where it was the only public sector organisation to be recognised.
Details about the apprenticeships at www.cumbria.gov.uk/jobsandcareers/apprenticeships.

All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
Possessing the right blend of features and design, the G3 finally gives LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung.
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
While it will begin to cede its position to the PS4 in 2015, the PlayStation 3 still delivers impressively strong value for gaming and video entertainment.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's wealth of power, its skinny, waterproof body and decent screen make it a good option to consider if you're after a portable tablet. Although its screen resolution doesn't put it over its competitors, its ability to play games from your PS4 -- although not perfect yet -- gives it a unique selling point.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
The successor to the Oppo N1 skips a number and comes with an updated design and features -- including a motorised, rotating leatherette camera. No, really.
Sony's new SmartWatch 3 improves on its predecessor with its waterproof, customisable design and its Android Wear software.
