TWENTY GATHER IN
HONOR OF JAMES
TATlWS BIRTHDAY
About twenty friends and relatives
gathered at the pleasant home pf Mr,
and Mrs. J. F. Tatman on West State
street Wednesday evening to help
Mr. Tatman celebrate his seventy
second birthday. The guests brought
baskets brimming full and after an
enjoyable social hour a very tasty
birthday dinner was served. A large
cake bearing the appropriate number
of candles was* a special feature of
the repast. At a late hour the guests
departed, wishing Mr. Tatman many
happy returns of the day.
Among those from out of the city
were County Clerk and Mrs./Wm.
Henderson, of Harrison, Rev. and
Mrs. M. R. Tatman and family, of
Dover, Rev. and Mrs. F. N. Bates of
the Eagle, and George Bates and family of the Brown.
This Famous Setting Given
Every Ten Years Out of
Gratitude From Terrible
Plague
Read the following. In 1633 the
village of Oberammergau, in Bavaria,
was visited by a terrible plague.
When it ceased, the entire population
made a vow to perform the Passion
Play of the Savior every tenth year,
out of gratitude for the cessation of
the plague—a vow which has never
been broken, for all the three hundred
years since. Every ten years this
great presentation draws tourists
from all over the world, to the little
Secluded Alpine village. This has
been reproduced in wonderful moving
pictures, now being given in this
country. Seen recently by some of
our own citizens, as presented in a
neighboring city, they pronounce it
"one of the most beautiful things we
ever saw. At the Clare Methodist
church, Tuesday evening, March 31,
at eight o'clock. The church would
be glad to present this free, but the
expense must be covered, and twenty-
five cents will he charged with but
fifteen for children. A powerful moving picture machine is to be installed
in the church.

PEOPLE ESCAPE
SERIOUS INJURY
IVIotor   Load. Bound   For
Glare Ends Up in Ditch
Near Marion
The miraculous escape from possible serious injury pf Ave Cadillac
young, persons and a motor car driver is being commented upon as the
result of an accident Sunday afternoon that resulted in the destruction
of an automobile by fire during an
excursion to Clare,
Clarence Foster was driving his car
containing,a group that was coming
to Clare to present" the playlet "The
Color Line," in the Congregational
church. In the car were Albert Rick-
er, Cayhill and Jack Pennycook,
Frances Foster and Betty Law,
When eight miles south of Marlon
tlie Foster car blew a tire, causing
the driver to lose control. The car
went through a guard-rail ar.d into an
eight-foot ditch, catching fire and
being completely wrecked.
None of' the passengers was seriously hurt. Mr, Foster sustained an,
injury to his side, believed to be ?
cracked rib, but he is reported getting
along nicely.
Mr. Dawe, driving his own car as a
member of the same party, was In advance of the Foster car. He drove on
for a short distance and turned back
to see what delayed the second car,
when he found the machine lying in
the ditch with the inflammable parts
nearly consumed. The passengers
had been rescued and brought to
Clare.
The play was given as scheduled,
the cast being somewhat shaken and
bruised but game to go through with
the schedule.

CIRCUIT COURT
CONVENES AT HAR-
RISONTHSS WEEK
Probation of Defendant in
Only .Criminal Case is
Continued
The meeting of the Clare Study
Club March 24th was held at the
home of Mrs. E. A. Anderson. After
the business was dispensed with, the
program was turned over to Mrs.
Martha Bicknell as leader. Music for
the afternoon was rendered by Miss
Virginia Koch, who sang, "When My
Ship Comes Sailing Home," and Miss
Francis Anderson sang, "Lovely
Moon." Both selections were beautL
ful.
The members had the splendid
privilege of hearing Prof. Larzelere
of Central State Teachers' College,
Mt. Pleasant, who had been secured
as the speaker. He used as his topic,
"The New Europe," and had maps to
illustrate his talk. This was intensely interesting and educational as he
showed the new boundries of the several countries since the World War
and left all with a definite idea of
this foreign land. He dealt at soma
length on Its government before and
after the struggle, also the rulers in,
the different countries. He stated
that the people were desirous Of raising more produce and making the
general conditions more modern and
up-to-date and were eager to have
better marketing conditions with both
North America and South America.
The speaker concluded by mentioned
that England was the -only foreign
country that their money value had
returned to its former value, all others remaining very low in standard.
A committee consisting of Mrs. B.
J. Sanford, Mrs. R. I. Hether and Mrs.
M. D. Feighner served tea and a brief
social time was spent.
The Club will not meet again until
April 14th and place will be announced later. April 28th it is planned that
ah." all day meeting will be held at
Houghton Lake with Mrs. Ed. Waller.
CLARE POST OFFICE
TO BE MOVED TO
NEW LOCATION SOON
Move is Caused by Growing
Needs of Mail Service
In This Community
The Mater Block on east 4th street
has been leased by the Government
for a term of years and the Post Office will be moved there as soon as it
is made ready.
This move is caused by the growing need of the mail service Which
made more room necessary than
could easily be arranged at the present location.
There was some talk of a Government building, but it was found that
their policy is to place them at least
one block off the business center,
which did not make the Idea attractive.
The office will take its new location
in about six weeks.
DANCE POSTPONED

CADILLAC YOUNG FOLKS
VERY ABLY PRESENTED
THEIR ONE-ACT PLAY
The one-act play given in the Clare
Congregational church by the Cadillac Congregational Sunday evening
Club was well received by an appreciable audience,
The young people gave a fine exhibition of youthful talent and depicted quite a thought in regard to the
Chinese attitude of mind toward the
Christian world.
Notwithstanding the crippled condition of the cast (tlie report of which'
is given in another part of the Sentinel) they showed much pluck and
determined interest.
The cast was as follows:
Henry Lawson, President of a Western College, Jack Pennycook.
Fu Chun, a Chinese student, Cahill
Pennycook.
Bargara McKean, a daughter of
Missionaries, Francis Foster.
Stanley Preston, a Senior and an R.
O. T. C. Albert Ricker.
Wanda Williams, a good hearted
flapper, Betty Law.
Miss King, Secretary to President,
'Evelyn Dawe   (substituted).
Director, Rev. Percy V. Dawe.
The Rev. Percy V. Dawe, of Cadillac, who gave the dramatic reading
from the book of Job was heartily
commended for Ms fine piece of work.
Many of us knew much more about
Job than we had ever knew before.
The reading had three sections to it.
The Prologue, -Satan, the Cynic
The Cursing, Job Curses his birthday.
The Epilogue, The Eternal, An
swers Job.
The combination of the two parts
of the program made a fine service.
Miss Maxine Jones and Miss Edith
Louch were the soloIstB for. the'eve-
ning.
CLARE COUNTY
PUBLIC HEALTH
UNITDESCRIBED
Detailed Activities and Sanitary Program Discussed
in Lansing Conference
For lack of space, me article, in
last week's Sentinel, could not cover
all the ground, and give in detail the
varied activities of the Health Unit,
as then outlined. As then announced,
the full programme was gone over in
a Conference, in-Lansing, last week
Wednesday, called by the State Board
of Health, which was described in
the other article. These activities are
roughly outlined under four heads: 1,
General; 2, Educational; 3, Public
Health Nursing; and, 4 Clerical, Under General—as follows: Administration, Consultant' Diagnostic Work;
Sanitation and Quarantine Enforcement; Epidemiological Investigation;
Immunization; Examination of Preschool Children; Cooperation with
School, and with State Health Authorities, and with local Physicians; Inspection of Dairies- and Milk Plants,
of Water Supply, and of garbage and
sewage disposal; Food-handling,
Tourist Camps; Fly and Mosquito
Breeding; Enforced Legal Programme in case of Venereal Diseases, etc.
Of the Educational activities,- may
be mentioned: Bulletins to the Public
and to physicians; on control of con-
tagioUs diseases; public lectures and
health exhibits, with motion pictures;
conferences on pre-natal care, "Better Babies"! Public Health examination; education in Sanitation, etc. Of
the Public Health Nursing activities
the following are a short list: Maternity Hygiene; Pre-natal visits to the
Home; Instruction on Maternity
Problems; Infant. Hygiene, with
visits to homes, , conferences, and
Demonstrations; Pre-School Hygiene,
with home-visits and conferences;
School Hygiene, Inspection, Care, Instruction, Correcting Defects, Follow-
up work in homes, etc.; Isolation,
Quarantine, Disinfection. The Clerical
work would include complete records
and reports, stenographic work, office contact with public, notices to
parents, telephone service, etc.
To the above would be added, of
course, the work of a fui,l-time dentist,
Working largely with the children in
the more neglected sections, of which
there are plenty, in the three counties out of which It is proposed, hy the
State to lorm- a unit, as detailed In
the former article. This dental work
is in no way in competition with the
work of local dentists, as the work
of the County 'Physician at the "head
of the Unit does not infringe upon
the local doctors. He does not take,
and carry through,-long time cases of
illness, but works, largely among the
poor, in prevention, sanitation, diagnosis, etc., etc.
Every Supervisor, and every taxpayer, and every voter in Clare
county should be well informed concerning this plan, and its working
and successes elsewhere. It is too
important for us to be ignorant concerning Same.

CLARE BUSINESSMEN
PURCHASE YOUNG ELK
FOR CLARE COUNTY
Young   Animal  to be Kept at
Spilfehorn Reservation North
'    of - City
A deal was completed last week in
which E- R- Zemmer sold to the City
of Saginaw his young elk which has
been in keeping by "Spikehorn" My
ers, at his reservation eleven miles
north of Clare.
Monday several men accompanied
Mr. Zemmer to that place to catch
the animal and crate.it for shipment
to Saginaw. The job proved more than
they had bargained for and when
many of them became tired, John
Asline advanced the idea of taking up
a subscription of Clar,e businessmen
and purchased it until the supervisors
of the county could take it over together with* the deer that is being
planned to be kept in that park in the
near future.
Returning to the city Mr, Asline
was just thirty minutes in getting the
required amount and the elk will not
be moved.
Since Mr. Myers as placed the three
elk in his park many tourists have
visited the place to view the animals,
while many others have made special trips to see them. One day this
week time was kept on them and inside fifteen minutes three cars from
Alma and two from Mt. Pleasant
drove in.      ; .-■..    .-.
Having received the nomination for
the office of Mayor to be voted at the
April 6th election, I take this' opportunity of declaring my position..
Having been mayor of your city for
six terms before, I am familiar, with
the duties of the office, realize the
responsibilities and feel fully competent to serve In that capacity.
I also realize we are passing
through a period of depression and
expenditures should be kept as low as
consistent with economy, which J
have always practiced in my own
business affairs. With no conflicting
personal interests at stake for the
coming year, I am in a portion to
give more time to the office than ever
before.
During the early perio<| I was in
office as mayor of your < city times
were prosperous and the public yoted
on large responsible burdens, such as
the boulevard lights, the paying of TJ."
8. 27 and U, S. 10, 'which necessitated
the installing of the storm sewer system and the cast 'iron water mains,
all of which were met by short term
bonds which made the tax burden
very heavy during my terms of office.
The delinquent tax averaged over
four thousand per year, something almost unheard of in the city tax roll.
The same condition is true of our
state, if they could get their delinquent tax they would be in good
financial condition. A general reduc-
tion in taxes was very noticeable in
many counties including Clare with
the large reduction in our school tax
and $3000 in county road funds last-
year. Therefore, it becomes necessary under these conditions to keep
expenditures to the lowest possible
point consistent with good government.
If I am in oiTice and the meter, question should come up (which I hope
will not) I promise to submit it to
you on a ballot for your determination
as all questions of this kind should be
handled, after all that has been said
on this matter. *
Several have asked me as to my
position on the signal lighting system
on U. S. 27 and U. S. 10. That can bo
determined when U. S. 10 is completed through the city—not before 1932,
and is not an issue at this election.
I promise to try, if elected, and
with the prestige the office will give,
to solve the long talked-of canning
factory question. The rural community arid the city need it more* now
than ever before. I started this ques-.
tion over twenty years ago when I
was superintendent of your Bi-county
fair. Never before have I had tho
necessary time to devote to the proposition. My experience made in .previous efforts toward this end make if
more possible to solve what we need.
I am strictly opposed to a local stock
■subscription company.
In conclusion I wish to state that
if entrusted, with the office ofj mayor
I will endeavor to conduct the affairs
of the city iu an honorable and business-like way and leave your finances
as good or better than I find them.
Personally submitted,
Lewis H. Thompson.
