Frieda A. Gilmore, who is with the
Michigan State College Extension department, home economics division,
was heard by radio listeners over
WKAR, East Lansing. The college
is undertaking a much wider radio
ioervice to the people of the state than
has been possible during the last two
years, and it is expected that she will
be heard again soon.
Miss Gilmore is a Clare high school
graduate and also a graduate from the
college with which she has been connected for the past three years. She
is assigned to seven counties in the
lower peninsula and two in the upper
peninsula.
Mrs. Verna Harrold,' also a Clare
h'gh school graduate, was heard singing a beautiful Christmas song over
WJR last Sunday morning from the
First Baptist church at fPontiac.

resident of Grand Rapids, and was in
Pontiac visiting over the holidays
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Breese.
In the announcement over WJR last
week Thursday evening of the Berry

COMMUNITY AUCTIONS TO BE HELD
IN CLARE SOON
Residents of Two Counties
to Benefit From Idea of
Phinisey and Groves
,* Many times a farmer or resident of
a city has wanted to sell a portion of
his live stock, farm tools, household
goods or other articles, but is compelled to hold same by the fact that
he has not sufficient number of
articles to warrant the expense of an
auction sale.
Working on this idea Earl Phinisey
and Thos. Groves have conceived the
idea of holding a community auction
at the Allen barn, one block west on
6th street of this c*ty at regular intervals.
This will allow people to list the
articles to be sold, thereby saving the
expense of an auction.
The first of these auctions will be
neld on Saturday, January 10th. Stock
for this sale should be listed with
either Messrs. Phinisey or Groves by
Tuesday noon, January 6th.
COLLEGE NIGHT AT
EPWORTH LEAGUE
College Night will be observed next
Sunday evening at the Methodist
church, with Dorothy Green as hostess. This will be under the auspices
of the Epworth League, and some of
the "old timers" will appear on the
programme. These services, at six-
thirty, are proving very interesting
and profitable, and the older people
are invited. The meeting last Sunday, although one of the "vacation
meetings" was attended by forty-six
and was ably led by Miss Green.
NEW YEAR DANCE
