Ftfarik   Fitzgerald  Assures
Hearers That U.   S.  27
Will be Rushed to Completion by Jraly
V.%' 10 Also to Be ^Graded lor
Seven Miles East During
Coming Season
^Declaring that no politics exists in
the state highway department and
that no state roads are -built for political reasons, Frank D, Fitzgerald of
Lansing, business manager of the
state highway department, paid : tribute to the efficiency of the department in an address delivered before
the meeting of the Clare Chamber of
Commerce, Monday evening.
The meeting was held at the Barnes
Cafe and was attended by one -hun-
"dred and five of the leading business
and professional men of the city and
county, and followed by a dinner
served by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh-McKay
Barnes, the proprietors of the Cafe. '
Although Mr. Fitzgerald is prominently mentioned as a candidate for
the office of secretary of state, he
confined his remarks to highway
matters, and when asked about his
candidacy, did not deny that he aspired to the position, but made no definite statements as to his intentions
in the coming primaries.
The speaker reviewed the history
of the department from its organization in 1905 to- 1913, when the state
trunk line system was adopted and
the first bill providing for 3,000 miles
of trunk line was passed. Mr. Fitzgerald explained the work of the department under the general supervision given by the legislature in 1919,
and the increased responsibility with
the adoption of the weight tax in
1925, and the assuming of all of the
construction arid malntainance in
1926.
The speaker called attention to the
fact that although there was now 3,-
200 miles of concrete state trunk line
•highways in the state, and at the
time that general . supervision' was
given, largfj sums «?f money was owing
to the counties, but' all of these bills
have been paid and the department
is out of "debt and paying as it goes,
Mr. Fitzgerald informed his hearers
that not all of the money that came
Into the treasury of the department
was available for the construction of
new highways, as there are certain
fixed charges, Including the monies
returned to the counties, that taxes
?24,053,0C0 and leaves only, ?18,825,-
000 of the $42,878,000 that is paid ,*n.
He urged his hearers to remember
that no property tax is paid into the
treasury of the department for trunk-
line construction or maintainance, a;;
all of those funds come from the
weight and gas tax, and people who
.do -not .own -an automobile do not contribute to the building or .mainta'n-
ance of state highways. Referring:
to Clare county, Mr. Fitzgerald said
that ?23,190 was paid in weight tax
aud the county received from the department $26,426.
• Tho -speaker stated that the worl*
on the concrete paving on IT, S. 27
from Mt. Pleasant to Clare would be
rushed as rapidly as possible, and
with three m'xers used on this fifteen
mile stretch of highway, the work
should be completed by July. He also
stated that U. S. 10 would be graded
west of Midland to M-3D and also for
a distance of seven miles east of
Clare this coming summer, and such
other preliminary work and grading
done along the new locations and
heaAT- grading of that road in "order
t.o have it ready for paving in the
Summer of 1931.
T. Carl Holbrook, president of the
organization presided at the meeting
yrfiich was one of the best attended
ia several years, and the music for
the occasion was furnished by the
Clare high school band under the direction of George Boyd. The April
meeting is to be a rural meeting, and
the president appointed E. G. Johnston chairman for the May meeting
when the ladies are to be guests of
the Chamber of Commerce.

Clare high school won the elass C
championship in the District Basketball Tournament at Mt. pleasant last
week by defeating "Beaverton by the
score of 27 to 17 in. the first round
of play, and taking. Coleman into
camp for a 21 to 7 score in the finals,
In the game with Beaverton, the
Clare lads experienced a little difficulty during the first half although
they took the lead at the start and
were never headed, but the lead was
small throughout the entire period.
However, in the last half, the Alldread men hit their stride and won
easily.
The final game on Saturday' evening with the Coleman team was an
easy one for the Clare quintet, and
the half ended with the score 15 to 0
in favor of Clare. Coach Alldread
gave his reserves an opportunity to
play during the last half, using eleven
men in- all during this game.
The luck of the draw for play in
the regional tournament this week

LOCAL MAN HAS VALUABLE COIN COLLECTION
Although Roy E. Joslin, proprietor
of the Joslin restaurant, on South McEwan street, is not a coin collector
by occupation. He has picked up old
coins for many years and now has
fifty pieces for wh:'ch he was recently-
offered a considerable sum of money.
The" coins date from 1809 to 1862
and while, some of them are foreign
pieces, most of the collection is American money. . Like most collectors
who have been offered a goodly sum
for their possessions, Mr, Joslin has],
become a student of the coin cata-'
logue issued by a reliable firm and
thus is aware of the value of his
coins.
Every coih that would seem to be
valuable is carefully scrutinized by
Mr. Joslin when received by him, but
he. says he is looking for the 1913
ulckle upon which, the- Liberty Head
was stamped, for this coin is worth
$50.

many others.
Forestry Abies are growing the
most rapidly 'and this is one, of the
latest lines of work offered to the
youngsters. Fourteen,of these clubs
with a membership of 213 were
organized in the State last year. This
year, many more counties are asking
for this" project and the leaders expect to have 40 forestry clubs.
Each of the forestry club members
agrees to plant 1,000 seedling trees.
The most popular species for Michigan are white pine and spruce inter-
planted so the spruce can be harvested for Christmas trees In a few years.

. Michigan States Farm Bureau
- Some ; of the largest cities in the
League of Michigan Municipalities
are not. in favor * of the' Dykstra bill,
.which proposes to "divert one*thh'd"'-sof
the automobile. weight tax from the
State Highway funds to city Administration treasuries. This news came
out in-a meet'ng of representatives ot
some .12 cities; who gathered at Jack-
ison, March 6 to discuss the "Dykstra
bill, at the - invitatipn of the Jackson
Chamber of Commerce, according to
tuff. State Farm Bureau, Which 'was
represented at the meeting.
Letters and telgrams were read
which stated that prior to the Jackson meeting the following Chambers
Of Commerce or the city officers, and
sometimes both, had voted opposition
to the Dykstra bill: Flint, Kalamazoo, Saginaw, and Port Huron, which
met at Sandusky with representatives
Of Macomb, Lapeer, Huron, St. Clair
and Sanilac counties, and all opposed
the Dykstra' plan. Jackson City commission and Chamber of Commerce
good roads committee voted March 1
to oppose the bill. The only outspoken supporters of the bill at the Jackson meeting were Muskegon Heights
and Lansing.'
Detroit and Grand-Rapids were not
invited- to the meeting. Political
leaders in those cities are leading
supporters of the Dykstra plan, and
have led the State to believe that the
entire League ,qf Michigan Municipalities is behind the bill, as one representative to the Jackson meeting put
it.
Mr. Harold Smith, sec'y for the
League urged that a re-distribution of
State highway funds should be made
to give cities, villages and townships
a larger share, stating that neither
the gasoline or weight taxes would
have to be increased if that share
were made one-third "of the weight
tax;. He sa'd that the League's committee has not reported the measure
It will support for that purpose. Mr.
Smith urged a larger city share on

OIL MAKES SWING -
IN DOMESTIC WELL
DRIVEN LAST WEEK
Sample of Oil and Water Sent to
State Laboratory for
Analysis
. 4 well in the kitchen of the residence of Louis Oaks, at ttye north
end of the city, has attracted the attention of tlie oil men in this vicinity
because of the large quantities pf oil
that is being pumped out of this well.
Mr. Oaks bad employed a well dr'l-
ler to put this well down in the kiteh*
an, and at a depth of eighteen feet,
large quantities of water-was obtained, but 'it was ' discolored and the
owner decided to go deeper for the
well of water.
Accordingly, the well was drilled
through a structure of rock a few feet
in depth and then through a vein of
sand and into a hard rock foraat'on.
At the depth Qf thirty-six feet and in
this rock, plenty of water was obtained but it was oily, and although
the well has been pumped constantly
for more than a week, the oil is increasing rather than diminishing.
There is also some sort of gas in
the water as it is effervescent. A
sample of this water has been sent
to the state laboratory for analysis.

All the teuchers, in Clare county*
with the exception of mie were .present at the inspirational institute t iu
Farwell on Monday, It was a beautiful; warm March day, and only the'
greatest adversity should have been
an excuse for remaining away.
If there is. ope  thing better than
another that Farwell likes to do, it is
to entertain a body of teachers. And
why should  *riot a ' community   feel
that   way?     There ' are   no   bettert
people on earth than the teachers in'
'our public schools,      Dean    Bennett
stated that teachers were-among the
highest  paid  workers  on  the  earth.
For example, his salary as dean  of,
Des Moines    University   is    $30,000.'
Twenty-six of the amount is in appreciation;   four thousand in money.
The teachers began to arrive early.
The morning session began almost ou
schedule   time.     Mrs,   Madge   Byrne
Lamb lead in the   singing.     It   was \
sp'rited   and  inspiring,   indeed.    The'
devotional hour   was   in   charge- of"
Com'r Aldrich.    It -was concluded- by .
all joining in   repeating   the   Lord's
Prayer.   The teachers were then favored by a pleasing selection from the
Girls' Glee Club.
Dr. Bennett is a very practical
psychologist, his addresses smattering at.all times of a still more valuable theme to teachers—pedagogy.
Many* years of experience in all lines
of teaching have given him abundant
material from which to draw ,hia
illustrations, and thereby aid in impressing his most -valuable thoughts
upon the minds of an audience. Iu,
his "Helping the Child to Think" and
"Sources ot the Teacher's Inspiration," Dean Bennett incorporates an
abundance of ideas that insp're to
the utmost. Each will return to his
school a better teacher for having >
heard this venerable educator.
Dr. Wise of Alma College made a
fine team*mate for his co-worker from
Des Moines. The major theme of hvs
two addresses was for the teacher
and layman to keep physically fit or
life will "fizzle" out. During his first
talk, Dr. Wise appeared in the garlj
common to the school gymnasium. -
His addresses were made practical
by illustrative exercises -oE £f simple'
nature and of a kind that can be used
in the home and school. "Enlarge"'the
soul was the message of Dr. Bennett;
keep the domicile of the soul ""fit"
was the admonition of Tir. Wise,
One^ very pleas5ng -feature -df the
'nstitu'te was the "-dinner Ihouf. .""Not a
teacher was forced i;o "leave the
school building iri search of grub. The .'
Foods Class had provided it, abund-*
antly and deliciously, thanks 'to the
domestic science department of the
Farwell schools, It consisted of :
Creamed dried beet, mashed potatoes,
buttered rolls, co'ffee, ice cream, Cupcakes, wafers. '"'*•.'
The entire menu came for the one
price :of--forty cents, Whether yb*
were fat'-or lean, young or old. Have
teachers appetites? You should*have
been present, to see them eat. It warn
a haupy, glorious meal time—one long
to be remembered.
You very seldom find a teacher
gracing the confines of a jail or a
prison. President Hoover says that
is one of the remarkable things about
them. Right living is one of their
cardinal principles. They are expected to live quiet, uneventful, dig-..
nified lives. However, on Monday-,
Clare county teachers threw aside
•some of the dignity. They smiled,
joked, laughed, chattered to each-
other, giggled and sang uproariously
under the guidance of Mrs- Lamb.
