I went to Milnes School, a cut field stone school having one big room (about 36 x 50) with a small coat room and entry way, still located on U.S.12 3 1/2 miles east of Jonesville, MI. It's still there and now a sort of a curio/antique shop as is the neighboring former grocery gas station. I went there from midway in the 2nd grade (1942-1943) to midway in the 6th grade(1946-1947). My parents often moved at holiday time it seemed. I started school in the North Adams k-12 school and finished school at Jonesville High Schoolin 1952. The country school was fun except for those outside privvys which were pretty cold in the wintertime, you didn't spend long there. The store next door was great, a regular community gathering place with Mobilgas Products too. I'll always remember the very tasty little loaves of bread the Kleen-Maid Bakery man used to give us just about every time we happened to catch him at noon making his weekly deliveries, usually on Monday and Thursday. I walked nearly 2 miles each way to this school all year around and pulled my sled there many times to slide on the little hill there and the hills on the road going back and forth. All in all going to country school was great! I never did get a decent bicycle until the summer after I started going to Jonesville on the bus when I earned one working for neighboring farmers.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
