last week Thursday when' ,the McGuire No. one well On section 36 was1

BOTH PARTIES NOMINATE OFFICERS FOR
SPRING ELECTION
-«.
The State of Michigan is ready to
establish, administer, and largely
support a modern Health Unit here,
in a tri-county combination of Clare,
Gladwin, and Arenac county, * This
is administered through the State
Board of Health, in cooperation w.ith.
the agencies of the "Children's
Fund," provided by Senator fames
Couzens, For four or five years the
work has been established in the
more populous and richer counties,
well able to raise an adequate portion of the cost. These two agencies
have seen, however, that many of the
northern counties can not bear the
expense alone, and the plan is now
being very successfully tried, of combining two, or three, or four coun-
ties, and while the mileage, in transportation would be greater, in most
cases the total population served
would be no greater than in single
counties wheYe the population is
more. It probably will be of considerable interest to the readers of The
Sentinel to have the details of the
plan given. A public meeting was
held Wednesday afternoon in the offices of the State Boara- of Health, in
Lansing, which was largely attended
by representatives from Arenac,
Gladwin, Clare, Osceola, Lake,
Newaygo, and Mecosta County, . as
the state is ready to organize the
first three into one Unit, and the last
four into a similar Unit. For the
Tri-County Unit in which Clare is interested, the plan would be as follows. We would have full time service of seven persons—'one Health
officer, a physician, three public-
health-trained nurses, one resident in
each county; one Sanitary Engineer,
One Dentist; one Office Clerk. The
total cost was figured to be $23,300,
from the following sources: $6,0Q0
providedly the State Board of Health,
coming (1) from the state tax (2)
from the U. S. Health Service, and
(3) from the Rockefeller Foundation
$12,800 from the "Children's Fund"
(Couzens); and ?4,500 raised locally,
divided between the three counties
equally, as the total taxable property
is almost exactly the same in these-

PEOPLE TO HAVE
3 QUESTIONS TO
VOTE ON APRIL 6
Capital   Punishment   Most
Important Referendum
Submitted By Legislators to Voters
The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. has
started an aggressive campaign to
reduce the appalling number of preventable automobile accidents that
occur in this country each year. During the coming weeks every motorist
in the United States will be asked to,
sign the Silvertown Safety Leagu«
Pledge and join in an organized plan
to enforce safer driving. Already
scores of local motorists have signed
this pledge and given in their enthusiastic endorsement, according to
information received from Bob's
Garage.^ local dealer of south . McEwan street.—       -     ■
Public sentiment has been quickly
aroused by the gigantic Goodrich
Campaign directing' the attention of
American motorists to the necessity
of greater safety measures on the
highways.
. The plan is fully described in a
large advertisement, over the signature: of Bob's Garage, published iff
another column of The Sentinel this
"week and which should be read and
signed by every person.driving a car.
INTERESTING IRISH
PROGRAM GIVEN
AT CLUB MEETING
Mrs. McGuire Hostess to St.
Patrick Lu;ncheoai. Miisie
By Tabling Ladies
An interesting program dealing
■with St. Patrick's Day was given as
a part of the program which featured the meeting of the Clare Study
Club Tuesday afternoon at Mrs. Nina
McGuire's. The members assembled
at 1:30 o'clock and a pot luck luncheon was served and very much en-
ioyecl.
Mrs. sternaman was chairman for
the day and turned the program over
to'Mrs. Bogan. Musical members for
the day consisted of a vocal selection by Miss Francis Jackson, Who
accompanied at the piano by Miss
Louisa Rogers, sang "Give Me Your
famile." They responded to an encore by singing a duet, entitled,
"Nola".
Elizabeth Feighner sang "When
Irish Eyes are Smiling", Elizabeth
Deller chose "If all Those Endearing Young Charms," and Francis
Koch, "Mother Machree" They were
all accompanied at the piano by Miss
"Nelda Callihan. The numbers were
perfectly Tendered, we should liked
to have heard more.
An interesting talk -which dealt
with Ireland was given by Mrs.. Bog*
an. She said the "Emerald Green"
was • so named becausei of the vast
stretches of green vegetation due ^to
their- damp climate. The winters
there are from 20 to- 30 degrees
warmer than.<■ ours and. their summers cooler. It is purely an agricultural country and much the same
things.are grown there as in the
United States^
She displayed some- real Irish
linen, some of which her great
grandmother had -woven. Ireland is
noted for its white linen and beautiful hand embroidery. She also had
many pictures of interest.
After "her very enligtening talk
«ach club member wag ask to give
some interesting bit of news con*
perning Ireland. The members gavej
.Mrs. McGuire a rising vote of thanks
for her hospitality arid \, their good
time. .. ■

Three referendums on proposals to
amend the state constitution Avill be
up for the decision of the voters at
the April 6 -election. The capital
punishment bill, signed by Gov.
Brucker after it had weathered the
storm of amendments proposed by
the House in an indirect attempt to
kill it, will command the most attention from the people. They have
heard it discussed, pro and con, from
legislative halls since way back
when, but this year will be the first
time they have been asked to dispose of the troublesome question for
themselves.
The two. other referendums are
those providing a" way of refunding
the $40,000,000 of road bonds outstanding, and the other allows the
<state to construct and operate landing fields in various parts Of the
State, the latter fathered by Rep.
Don Sias of Midland.
A saving of $200,000 a year js
sought by the refunding of the road
bonds, now drawing 6 per cent interest. The lower rate of interest
which they could be- refunded for,
would make this possible according
to the claims of administration leaders who have backed the request of
Lhe Governor, made in a special message to the Legislature early in the
Session. Eastern bond houses
through which the bonds were .sold
originally have protested the move,
declaring that the refunding would
constitute a branch of faith and
would adversely affect the state's
standing.
All doubt as to what the Governor
would -do with the Foster capital
punishment bill was soon removed
when the measure was presented to
him. He signed it without loss of
time and also recommended a favorable vote of the people as a weapon
td combat killing and lawlessness.
In a lengthy statement in which he
pointed out that the federal government and all but eight states have
capital punishment at the present
time.    Governor Brucker also stated:
This bill punishes murder in the
first degree, that is, the killing of a
human being? which ' is neither- excusable nor justifiable, and which
follows' deliberation and premeditation "on the part of the killer. The
utmost precautions have been taken
to guarantee justice to the accused
throughout, including the incidents
of a fair trial and an appeal to our
state supreme court, without cost to
the accused,"
