Litterbug menace and wage board warnings in Michigan
A local Herald piece laments summer littering and warns of a possible $500 fine as 12 ounce container production climbs toward 900 million by 1982. It also flags a Washington DC wage board push from $1.60 to $2.00 per hour by 1970 and cautions against inflationary policy. The column cites Michigan tourism projections, state park plans, and ongoing community events in Bessemer including Fourth of July prep and local sports updates.
