'•'■•'"■;■     •■" April 5, 1929
Thero was a brilliant display' of
fireworks in the House' Tuesday afternoon, despite the fact "that both
tranches had* passed the fireworks
banning bill which has been signed
by the Governor and given immediate
effect. The oratorical pyrotechnics
were displayed when Rep. Callahan
of Detroit arose in the defense of his
hill to lake private employment agencies out of the hands of the labor
and industries commission and place
control in a new special commission
to be appointed by the governor, attacking Eugene Brock of the labor
commission for an alleged dereliction
of duty. Rep. Frank Wade defended
Brock and then Rep. Milton Palmer
of Detroit iii a cold-blooded address
took Brock and his record up and
down the line of denunciatory casti-
gation. It was the first really acrimonious debate of the session and
.aroused great interest. Brock defended himself in the newspapers the following day, but his department is
likely to undergo a searching investigation as a result of the rumpus.
Callahan's bill passed the House
without amendment by a heavy majority.
A bill by Rep. John Gillett, which
would have permitted boards of supervisors to publish their proceedings
In pamphlet form Instead of in
county newspapers met with such
emphatic protest that Gillett amended the bill, making county newspaper publication mandatory, as before,
and also authorizing pamphlets in addition, if the board so desires. In this
form the bill passed the House.
The Snow income tax bill, a highly
controversial measure, was passed by.
the House Thursday afternoon after
a heated discussion, by a narrow
margin, and now goes to the Senate
for concurrence. The measure is
claimed to have the favor of the administration. The bill levies a tax of
two per cent on all incomes, with
?500 exemption for a single man,
§1000 for a married man, and ?400
for each dependent child.

GOOD LITERATURE
CLUB MEMBpRS ENJOY STYLE SHOW
Mrs. Wilma Achardv Gives
Interesting Paper and
Cleverly Displays
'Spring Apparel.
The Good Literature Club met at
the very prettily remodeled home of
Mrs. Margaret McKnight Monday
evening. A large number was present
and a very interesting program was
carried out.
The Current topic—"The President's Cabinet" was very ably treated by Mrs. Stella, Lajnpman, the President of the Club,*'in ttlte absence of
Mrs. Feighner. She told the name
of each member of tlie cabinet his
date ancl place of birth, also his
education and church affiliations. It
was interesting to note that each Avas
a member of some church and all
were college bred Avith the exception
of one who might be called a self
educated-man.
Mrs. Wilma Achard then read a
most interesting paper on, "Art in
Dress." Dame Fashion moves rapidly and in order to keep up one must
succumb to a craze. .What comfort
and assurance one'feels when he is
confident that he or she is correctly
and charmingly dressed in a gOAvn. of
simple taste but an exquisite,.cut. .It
is this touch of the French gOAvn
Avhich gives it the distinction over
others.
Mrs. Achard mentioned; the many
different styles of dress in vogue today, the blending and contrasting; of
colors and the different materials
used; also the style and Color 5f hat,
gloves and shoes'as adding to. or detracting from the general appearance.
Good style to last must be nonchalant, smart clothes must be- Avorn
Avith a certain jauntiness that is as
charming as it is comfortable, light
colors for bright days and deeper
colors for dark days. fi
Through the kindness of Mrs. Wm.
H. Bicknell who lent the costumes
and Miss Nannie Hileman Avho assisted Mrs. Achard carried on a Style
SIioav at the close of her talk. She,
togetlier Avith Mrs. Annabelle Hampton, Mrs. Belle Anderson and Miss
Eunice Slentz displayed several of
the beautiful spring costumes. The
ensemble, which is the basjs of a
Avoman's wardrobe today, was
shOAvn; the sport or peasant dress;
the evening gOAvn, the sweater suit,
the beach and the quilted coats, the
neAV rain coat arid several others
Avere very attractive.
Altogether the style show Avas very
unique and most interesting, as Avell
as helpful to all women Avho Avish to
dress .Avell.
Mrs. Marjorie Reeder sang "The
Desert Song" by Sigmund Romberg
and the encore "Gray jDays" by Noel
Johnston. Both solos Avere enjoyed
very much. She Avas accompanied
on the piano by Mrs. Helen Lucille
Bicknell. •
The next meeting of the Good
Literature Club will be held at the
home of Mrs. Margaret Derby. The
special topic Avill be Indian Art in
charge Of Mrs. Adelaide Elden.

Grizzly Ike Myers, of Harrison Also Contemplates
Erection of a Indian
Museum.
Grizzly Ike Myers, of Harrison, informs The Sentinel that he has purchased a piece of land eleven miles
north of Clare through which a
spring brook passes and expects to
make it into a rustic beauty spot during the summer months.
Mr. Myers has petitioned "the state
department for the privilege of building a sixteen foot old style undershot Avater Avheel near the road in
this, stream. If this is possible, he
will use the power to run an up-and-
doAvn saAV of the "up today and down
tomorroAv" type. The Avater Avheel
will be built Avith paddles four, feet
Avide Avith open spokes and will
measure nearly fifty feet in circumference. These will be connected with a thirty foot log walking
beam ob antique style.
He also plans to erect a large og
cabin for an Indian museum Avhere
10,000. relics Avill be on display.
This Avill be an attraction to tourist
giving them an opportunity to see
sights common to our forefathers.
SMELT RUN MORE SATISFACTORILY HANDLED
Run This Year Not/as Plentiful
as in Former Events.
The annual smelt run in Cold
Creek at Beulah this Aveek attracted
the usual large number of people
who are desirous of obtaining these
delectable fish, but most of the crowd
went home without them, for the run
Avas not as plentiful as in former
years.
HoAvever, the manner in Avhich the
run was handled this year Avas more
satisfactory than ever before and
this was. ,due to the excellent organ-,
ization which was perfected by Pal-
met Landon of Mt: Pleasant, special
conservation officer, who had charge
of the arrangements.
Mr. Landon was assisted by several deputy wardens, Lieut, Hath-
way and members of the State Police.
Mr. Landun's genial disposition and
ability to handle crowds won the admiration of the citizens of Beulah
and the throngs of sportsmen Avho
came to dip in the stream.
The public Avere allowed to dip at
nirte oclock"in the evening and again
at four o'clock in the morning, and
everything was carried out on
schedule time, except that the smelt
failed to keep their appointments,
and when hundreds of men armed
with nets, shovels, pails, baskets or
popcorn poppers rushed into the
little creek as the lights Avere turned on, there were very few fish to
dip.
Those who have made a study of
the habits of the smelt believe that
the'warm Aveather folloAving so closely after the severe - winter is the
cause of the short run and they
think the fish have deposited their
spaAvn in the lake instead of coming
up the stream.

The carcass was found by Joseph
Ladd and Verne Shafer,, of Harrison,
and they reported their" finding to

lead to arrest soon.

MORE LAND ACQUIRED    ,
FOR H.S. ATHLETIC FIELD
Part of Purchase Price Paid By
Senior Class As Memorial
Gift.
A deal was completed Wednesday afternoon, whereby the Clare
school district acquired enough land
to the west of the present athletic
field at the rear of the School" house
to make it large enough for a football gridiron.
. The present field was used for
baseball but lacked considerable in
length for football, but the one and
eight-tenths acre which was bought
of Fred Timm will provide plenty of
room. During the past four years,
the high school football, games had
been played at Ward's field.
Part of the purchase price Avas
paid by the Senior class of the high
school as a memorial gift, and the
balance was appropriated by the
Board  of Education.
High school students and others
Avho are interested in the athletic
program of the school are planning
a bee today, and the newly acquired
land Avill be leveled.
SPRING SHOWERS
RAISE RIVERS TO
FLOOD PROPORTION
Several   Dams  Threatened
but Only Two Are Destroyed. Waters Now
Receding.
Torrential spring showers Avhich
fell over this section of the state during the latter part of last Aveek, created serious flood inenaces along the
.Tobacco and TittabaAvassee rivers,
between GladAvfh and Midland.
The Clrappell dam oJMhe Consumers PoAver Company* near GladAvin
gave way Friday night, and it Avas
necessary to dynamite the Schultz
dam at Gladwin.
All of the other dams including
the Beaverton, Edenville and Sanford dam held," but only by opening
all of the spillways to allow the torrent to flow through and thus save
the banks at the side.
At Sanford the Avater Avas up to
the highway bridge, and at Midland,
three hundred families who live on*
the flats Avere forced to leave their
homes for a time.
The Farwell dam. Avas threatened
and a large number of men Avere kept
busy throughout the week end to save
it. The sluice boards were removed
from the Clare dam and it was not in
any serious danger at any. time during tlje high water.
The creek Avhich is knoAvn by many
as the Little Tobacco, was over its
banks and some of the people in the
first Avard had their basements filled
with water. Ward's park was a lake,
but fortunately Clare is so situated
at the upper end of the Tobacco river basin that a' serious flood is
scarcely possible.

cellent dinner was served by Mrs.
Nora  Barnes,   the   proprietor;

Nevels Pearson of Lansing, State.
Live Stock Club leader, talked on thje
work of the 4-H clubs in the state
and urged the co-operation of t,he
business men in Avhatever plans Mr.
Gibson, the county agent migh't have
<# the promotion of boys and girls
olub work in Clare county.
J. J. Rickel, of Saginaw, district
representative of the Michigan Inspection Bureau, when introduced,
informed his hearers that the insurance rate in Clare had recently been
loAvered and that it would perhaps
become still lOAver if the residents of
the city would co-operate in removing fire hazards and thus cut down
the losses in the city. Mr. Rickel
has charge of all inspections in Clare
and said there Avas no chance of his
department doing anything to cut the
rate in the city unless the corrections
advised are made.
The principal address of the evening was delivered by John A. Bell
of Detroit, assistant manager of the
Michigan Inspection Bureau, who has
charge of all the inspection of risks
in the state. Mr, Bell said .that'the
losses in Clare county had decreased
materially since 1926 Avhen Clare
county had 36 fires with a total loss
of $92,415.41 Avhile in 1927 there Were
31 fires with a loss of $11,247.21.
The speaker said that there Avere
more losses in the residence district
than in the business section of the
city" which Avas proof of the great
hazard of Avood shingle roofs. In a
forceful manner and with the use of .
statistics compiled in his office, Mr.
Bell condemned the use of wood
shingles and other combustible material in building.
Mr. Bell urged the Chamber of
Commerce to co-operate in the adopting of an ordinance in Clare Avhich
would be knoAvn as the wooden
shingle ordinance. This ordination
w.ould make it a misdemeanor to use
Avooden shingles in the construction
of any structure in Clare.
The speaker urged the careful inspection of all basements and removal of aU combustible material or
other hazards. He expressed his approval of educational safety campaigns qr any other methods which
Avould help to keep doAvn the losses
by fire and thus reduce the fife insurance rates.
