eighth grade this year. Appropriate
exercises for them will be held in
Wilson State Park, Harrison,. Thursday forenoon, June 12, 1930. S. Perry
Johnson, superintendent of the Surrey Township Unit- Schools for the

will be found on the program. None
should fall to hear it.
The basket picnic at noon, we are
sure, Will prove just as happy an
event as in former years. This year
■will Tiave made the "fifth one held in
the history of Clare county schools
tfhe reunion of former graduates, always held just after "the noon hour
meal,- will continue to hold its popularity. The big held meet, beginning promptly at one o'clock, is surely going to be more interesting than
ever. Hunt out the program of
«vents on another page of this paper.
All day long most delightful music
will be furnished by .the Clare high
school band, an organization of young
musicians second to none in the
state, and skillfully directed by
George Boyd.
Now, it takes a "heap of work" to
get up a program for - the rural
graduates of a county. A lot of
worry and disappointments -is associated with such an endeavor. But
the boys and the girls of the rural
sections are entirely worthy of it
all, thousands of times, Come
Thursday to see how the most
valuable product of the farm behaves
in gala attire and on an exceedingly
vital occasion. Do not. let rain or
shine deter you from being present.

NASS INSURANCE CASE
TRIED THIS WEEK
Jury    Renders   Judgement   Of
$1083.32 Against Company
The NasS insurance case which has
claimed the attention of the Clare
county Circuit Court this week, was
ended Wednesday, when the jury*
awarded Mr. Nass a judgement of
?1083.32.
The case is of nearly two years'
standing and was a claim made by
Mr. Nass against a fire insurance
company on a loss which he sustained when a farm residence which he
owned four miles north of the city
burned.
The fire was thought to be of in-
cendary origin and an investigation
was made by the state fire warden's
department with the result that a
.statement was alleged to have been
made by the son of Mr. Nass which
constituted a release for the company.
This alleged affidavit was presented in the trial but evidently did not
influence the jury. The case attracted county wide attention and the
court room was well filled during the
trial.

MASTER ANDSCOUTS
ATTEND SAGINAW
AREA JAMBOREE
Unusual Three Day* Event
Brought 700 To Hoyt
Park For  Big
Program
Scout master Rudy Cotton and six
members of Troop number 125 of
Clare attended the Area Boy Scout
Jamboree which was held at Hoyt
Park, Saginaw, last week -end.
More than 700 boys Irom" the Saginaw area were camped in the park
and all forms of scout activities were
engaged in under the leadership Bf~"
;he most competent leaders and
trained scout masters.
The lads were camped in sections,
with'21 pup tents in each section, and
the long lines of tents with clean and
neat streets and grounds made a very
impressive appearance, and brought
forth words of commendation from the
vast throng of people who visited the
camp during the three* days.
The Clare lads took part in the drills
and regular camp activities but. none
of them are advanced far enough in
scouting to participate in the various
contests which were held and for
which prizes were awarded.
However the experience was a .very
helpful one to each of the boys and
also for the very excellent work
which is being done by the local
scout leaders under area supervision.
The boys attending were; Lytle
Quick, Donald Gillis, Philip Hochstetler, Alger Chaffee, Robert Beemer
and Byron Gibbs.
Camp Rotary, north of Clare, will
open June 23rd and a real vacation
of summer advantages, scoutcraft,
hikes, swims, good eats, campfires
and fellowship will begin for the
scouts of the Saginaw area, of which
Clare is a part.

McKAY OFFERS COUNTY
RIGHT OF WAY FOR ROAD
James A. McKay has notified the
Clare county road commissioners that
he is willing to give them. the right
of way for a county road to Loon"
Lake, according to an announcement
made by John Asline, member of the
commission.
Mr. McKay owns the land surrounding this lake which is well known
for its excellent fishing, but the only
road thereto at the present time is
the private road that leads to Mr. McKay's cottage.
The new road, if built, will give the
public an opportunity to get to the
shores of this lake Without using tM
private road, and causing as much
damage as has been caused in the
past in leaving the gates open, thereby allowing the stock to roam from
the pasture fields or get into crops
in adjoining fields.
